Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, May tenth, twenty twenty three. Welcome to

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 2: the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. But we're also probably better

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: in bestball. It's being your rand MG Marcus grand Joy

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: by Michael F. Floria. We're in studios, we got specialists.

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: Give yourselves around of applause. We really appreciate you guys

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: hanging out with us. As always, we got plenty to

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: talk about. I put together a list of chatter and

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: I had I actually put these schedule release thing third

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: on here, but I feel like, let's just schedule release, man.

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: It's it's apparently it's like a soft launch for the

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 2: schedule now or something.

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: I woke up and not only did I have notifications

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: that games had been announced, I had group chats going

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 3: where people were like already playing. And I'm like, hey,

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: maybe I'm wrong, because you know, I'm a little cynical,

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: and I'm like, we've known who's playing who for so long,

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: but people are excited and that's the whole point of me.

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: Could I be out of touch? No, it's the chilter

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: who are wrong. Yeah. No, they're starting to launch some

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: of these games. You might as well get into this

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: the international slate has been released. Week four, it'll be

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: Falcons against the Jaguars at Wimbley in London. Then the

24
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: very next week the Jaguars stay in London and they

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: will host or actually they're the road team right against

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: they are the road team.

27
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: And now although they are London's.

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: Teams, they are London's teams. So either way, the Jaguars

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: are in London back to back weeks. First they play

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: the Falcons, then they play the Bills. That's in week five.

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: In week six it'll be the Ravens and the Titans

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: from Tottenham Hotspur, and in week nine from Frankfurt, Germany,

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: the Dolphins and the Chiefs. And in week ten, so

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: back to back weeks in Germany as well, it's the

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: Colts and the Patriots. So those are the international games.

36
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: I'll say this, the Dolphins Chiefs, that feels like a

37
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: game they should be played in either Kansas City or Miami.

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean it's kind of a big deal.

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: That's a big game. Yeah, that's a A lot of

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: these games are big ones though, And listen higher up,

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: if you're listening, and we know that you.

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: Are, you know that you are.

43
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: We would love to be there, you know me personally

44
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: October seventh, the Bill's Jags. That sounds like a fun one.

45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: I would love to go to Germany eat some good

46
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: food there. So you know, we both got our passports

47
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: in case you need anyone.

48
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: They are up to date. We're ready to go. I

49
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: enjoy a good, warm ale, all of those things. I'm

50
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: a fan of Bombardier. I have been told by people

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: in the note that it is actually a legitimate quality

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: English beer. So you know we're here. We're here to help.

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: So those games are out. Also, we know that the

54
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: Black Friday matchup, the first ever in NFL history, is available,

55
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: not available, and it's known it's gonna be the Jets

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: and the Dolphins. So Aaron Rodgers primetime primetime ish. I

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: guess it'll be three o'clock Eastern time on Black Friday,

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: when hopefully everybody is back home from getting their discounted

59
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: TVs and stuff.

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: We'll be here here. But yeah, I know this is

61
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: the Aaron Rodgers effect for the Jets. Like I told

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: you group chats, I have a lot of Jet fan

63
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: friends back in New York and they were already planning

64
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: on going to this game. And I'm anticipating like at

65
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: least one Bill's Jets game will be primetime. So the

66
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: Jets going from getting like one TNF game a year

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: being their only prime time that life with Aaron Rodgers

68
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: is gonna be.

69
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: A lot different. I think I saw that they could

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: have up to six primetime games this year.

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: I believe is the limit, right.

72
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: I believe. So. So they've got the Black Friday game

73
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: against the Dolphins. Then on Christmas Day we got the

74
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Giants and the Eagles. There's already a lot of trash

75
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: talk going back and forth between those two teams. And

76
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: then on New Year's Eve December thirty first, it's the

77
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: Bengals at the Chiefs, which should be epic if those

78
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: two teams live up to expectations.

79
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if I'm thinking correctly, that's going to be

80
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: like Fantasy Championship Week.

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's week seventeen, so it's an afternoon game on

82
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: December thirty first. This could have major fantasy implications.

83
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: Oh, it's gonna people. New Year's Eves are gonna be

84
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: like made or ruined based on this game. Because if

85
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: you have like Patrick Mahomes or Tyreek Hill, You're You're

86
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: championship It's not gonna be decided by that game, but

87
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a strong lean one way or the other.

88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: Will either be having celebratory champagne or consolation champagne. That's

89
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: kind of how your nice is probably gonna go, depending

90
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: on what happens in Fantasy that week. So those are

91
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: the games that we know. The remainder of the schedule

92
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 2: will be released on Thursday. There will be a three

93
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: hour special on NFL Network. Tune in for that please

94
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: and get the breakdown on who's out a tough schedule

95
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: who doesn't. For us, As you mentioned, we've known the

96
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: matchups for a while, and so for fantasy you kind

97
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: of have an idea of what players are playing, which

98
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: teams or whatever. We don't necessarily know the order just yet.

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: But when it comes time to schedule release, is there

100
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: anything in particular.

101
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: You look out for bye weeks? That's the big thing.

102
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: I am not a person who looks at the one.

103
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 3: I'm not a fantasy player who drafts based on schedule.

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: I know people will always be like, oh, you gotta

105
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: look for Week seventeen, and I get it in like

106
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: a best ball with a big tournament, you want to

107
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: look at stuff like that. But in a regular redraft

108
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: league or anything like that, you like, how hard is

109
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: it to plan two or three weeks ahead in fantasy football?

110
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 3: Try planning four months ahead. To me, I've had legitimate

111
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 3: conversations where people are like, well, I want to draft

112
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: this running back over this one that I think is

113
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 3: better because I like his playoff schedule better. And I'm like,

114
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: we these defenses could be completely different. How many times

115
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: do we think a defense is going to be terrible

116
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: and they end up being pretty good, or we think

117
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: a defense could be good and then injuries. So yeah,

118
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: to me, it's really the bye weeks. And then I

119
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: think it's always fun to like the big key marquee

120
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: games to just kind of get excited for them.

121
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: But that's really all I do with the schedule. I mean,

122
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: bye weeks are the big ones there, you know. And

123
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: it's funny I in the past have sort of looked

124
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: at playoff schedules and you know, I've had to write

125
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: columns here and do videos about playoff schedules. But the

126
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: defenses are one of the least sticky things from year

127
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: to year in terms of defensive success. So you know,

128
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: some defenses that were good last year will be good

129
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: again this year. There will be some that were good

130
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: that last year that will be bad, and vice versa.

131
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: That's really hard to plan. And then you know, as

132
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: you mentioned, injuries are such a big part of this, right,

133
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 2: Like the player you draft might get hurt. The defense

134
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: that you're going against might end up being better than

135
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: you anticipated. So what looks like a really great playoff

136
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: schedule in May might not look so great when you

137
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 2: get to like November.

138
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 3: And I remember last year when the schedule came out,

139
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: people were like the Colts, Like, that's the team you want.

140
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: Look at their playoffs schedule. Look could they get in

141
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: week seventeen? And yeah, if you drafted a bunch of

142
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: Colts last year, your season was over by week six.

143
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: So like, who cares about week seventeen at that point?

144
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: Pretty much? But yeah, we will also, you know, kind

145
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: of be checking in to see what the schedule is,

146
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: and you know it'll be interesting to see. We'll get

147
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: to set up some revenge games and bad whole deal

148
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: that it's more fun for fans of teams, I think,

149
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 2: I think so, and I get it for fans like

150
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: you get to sort of plan trips. I know you know,

151
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: fans who travels to away games or want to see

152
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: their team come to whatever city. It's definitely a lot

153
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: more fun to kind of watch that and be able

154
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: to kind of book plane tickets and hotel reservations and

155
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. So I sort of understand it

156
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: from that perspective.

157
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: Do you do the thing like will you go through

158
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: the Niner schedule and be like when, law I do

159
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: it every year and I'm like, why do I.

160
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: Do this time? Yeah? I shouldn't say no. I kind

161
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: of do, but I don't make a big deal out

162
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: of it. Maybe in my head, I'm like, no, I

163
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: see you know, I see ten wins, I see eleven wins.

164
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: Whatever it is. Yeah, but I don't. I don't do

165
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: it out loud. I don't do it publicly. Although you know,

166
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: Adam Rank for years got a lot of mileage a

167
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: couple of years ago out of saying the Niners were

168
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: going to be what like three and thirteen or two

169
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: and fourteen, and then they ended up in the.

170
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: Super Bowl where one Jimmy g passed away from being champions.

171
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: Pretty much, But yeah, Rank got a lot of a

172
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: lot of mileage out of that. I do know, for

173
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: the record that he has made amends with with Niners Nation.

174
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: Everything's cool, We've smoothed everything over. It's all good. Anyway.

175
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: That's enough of that. Some more chattering because there's not

176
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: actual news this time of year. It's more of you know,

177
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: things we're hearing or things we're reading. This one I

178
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: put it in here just for you, sir. The general

179
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: manager says he sees Kadarius Tony as a number one

180
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: wide receiver. Brett Viach says, the sky is the limit

181
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: for Kadarius Tony right now. If you go on you

182
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: know certain sites and look up ADPs underdog, Tony is

183
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: wide receiver number thirty seven. Overall, he's going off the

184
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: board right around number seventy seven. That's somewhere in around seven.

185
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,239
Speaker 2: But for you, in your wildest dreams, your unabashed standship

186
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: of Kadarius Tony, where do you have him ranked?

187
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: So I did this week run through the rankings. They're

188
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: up now on NFL dot com. And this is a

189
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: first draft. It is the middle of May, early May.

190
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: A lot's gonna change before you know, August, but as

191
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: of right now, I have Kadarius Tony as wide receiver

192
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: thirty one. So a little bit ahead of his adp

193
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: some names, He's just behind Chris Godwin, Tyler Lockett, Ayuk,

194
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: Mike Evans, ahead uh Pittman, Kirk, Deontae Johnson. I know

195
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: some people might like those, some of those other guys

196
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: more than Tony. I've also been kind of tweeting about

197
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: Tony lately, and Uh, people are not happy with me.

198
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 3: They're like, what are you gonna give this up? This

199
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: guy cannot stay healthy, he cannot stay on the field.

200
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 3: And I'm like, but if you look at when he

201
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: is on the field, one he earns targets at such

202
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: a high rate, and two he's extremely effective when he

203
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: gets those targets. The only issue is he hasn't been

204
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: able to stay on the field a whole lot. But

205
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: I think what gets overlooked is that the Chiefs were

206
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: hoping that they could have got Kadarius Tony in that

207
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: draft a couple of years ago. Then they traded the

208
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: one hundredth pick for him. Then they used to him

209
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: in their playoff run, and they when he was out there,

210
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: he was getting targets at a high clip so and

211
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: he caught the biggest touchdown for them in the Super Bowl,

212
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: like the Chiefs really like Kadarius Tony, is the point

213
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: that I'm making, And they've wanted to have him for

214
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: a while, and they themselves are saying, like, we get

215
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: a whole year now to game plan for him and

216
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: to design plays just for him, Andy Reid all of that.

217
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: So I like Kadarius Tony, But what I like even

218
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: more Marcus is like Rashi, Rice is still getting hype,

219
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: Sky Moore is getting hype because the Chiefs don't have

220
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: a true number one. It's gonna keep Tony's ADP down

221
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: a little bit if those other guys get hype. Like

222
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure you saw it. A video came out on

223
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 3: Twitter or Rice burning a defensive back. The dude was

224
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: wearing a number fifteen jersey, which is Patrick Mahomes's number,

225
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: which tells you who he is on the roster. He's

226
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: a I don't know who the corner was, but I

227
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 3: don't think they have big plans for him. And people

228
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: are getting hyped up over one off season video. Let

229
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 3: his ADP go up and keep Kadarius Tony.

230
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: We are in, you know, get fired up over slow

231
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: motion practice vid season right now? You know, Like I

232
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: saw a video of Jordan Love if slow motion, Jordan

233
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: Love throwing an out pattern too, Jaden Reid and just

234
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: like I'm seeing, like the hype comments underth it was.

235
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: The least impressive video ever.

236
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: It was a basic, a basic pack practice out route,

237
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: like it was a warm up route, and it's getting

238
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: hyped up. So this is this is the silly season

239
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: that we have entered here. I will say this for me.

240
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: I've got Tony right now at wide receiver thirty.

241
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: Four, so we're right there together.

242
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 2: So we're pretty much right together. We're a little bit

243
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 2: above kind of where the consensus is on him right now.

244
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm just of the opinion that the Chiefs are not

245
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: going to have one wide receiver that they lean on

246
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: right now. It's gonna be Travis Kelce. He's going to

247
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 2: get his you know, one hundred and thirty, one hundred

248
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: and fifty targets, whatever it's going to be, and then

249
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: you're gonna have everybody else sort of battling. Right, You're

250
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: gonna have Tony, who lookally Tony will probably be the

251
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: number two target in his offense as long as he's healthy. Right,

252
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: but you know, she Rice is going to get his

253
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: uh sky Moore. They're gonna figure I think some way

254
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: to sort of integrate him into this offense. Marquez Valdez Scantling,

255
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: for what it's worth, is still there on this roster.

256
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: I know he didn't necessarily make a big impact, but

257
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: he is still there. And this is the thing that

258
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: last year, you remember in training camp, Patrick Mahomes just

259
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: basically came out and said, Hey, fantasy managers, you're gonna

260
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 2: be frustrated with us because we're gonna spread the ball around.

261
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: And he was one hundred percent right. There was Travis Kelcey,

262
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: and then there were the Pips. Right, it was just

263
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: like everybody else. And I think it's gonna continue to

264
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: be that. So maybe Tony gets a little bit more

265
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 2: than everybody else, but it is going to be I mean,

266
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: it's going to be like a boy band, right, Like

267
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey's going to be Harry Styles and the rest

268
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 2: of these dudes are gonna be the rest of one direction. See.

269
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 3: I was gonna age myself. I was gonna say he's

270
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: justin Timberlake.

271
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: See I thought about that, but I'm like, you know,

272
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: somebody out there is gonna be like, how old are you?

273
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: And I'm like old, So I tried to make it. Also,

274
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: I did see something about One Direction come across my

275
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: time this point, So.

276
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: When you said Harry Styles, I was like, I think

277
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: One Direction, but I can't for one hundred percent certainty

278
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: tell you that's the band he's from. And I agree

279
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: with you. I think it's gonna be like a HAJJ

280
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: page where kind of like last year. But if anyone

281
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 3: plays that that juju role where they're a little bit

282
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: more consistent, I think it'll be Tony. And if you

283
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: were to I know I'm biased, but if you were

284
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: to say who has the best chance of breaking out

285
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 3: and being a difference maker, to me, I think Tony

286
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: has to be the favorite to be that on the Chiefs,

287
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: I think so too. And I'm not I know, as

288
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 3: you mentioned, a lot of people are saying, but he

289
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: can't stay healthy, Like I'm not gonna use that.

290
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: I know that's it has been the story of his career.

291
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: But we've said it before. You're injury prone until you're not, which.

292
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: To me, I know I say this all the time,

293
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: but if you could be injury prone until you're not,

294
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 3: injury prone is a useless label that just uses stuff

295
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: that happened in the past to try to project the future.

296
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 3: It doesn't actually indicate anything of future. Like I would

297
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: like to talk to an actual doctor and if they

298
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: were like, hey, Kadarius Tony's injuries are gonna hamper him forever, Okay,

299
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 3: then that's one thing. But I think a lot of

300
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: the times in fantasy, we're just like this guy got

301
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: hurt in the past, He's gonna keep getting hurt.

302
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 2: Past performance is not an indicator of future performance necessarily,

303
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: So so all right, Kadarius Tony. The hype train I

304
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: think will continue to roll, though maybe we'll be tempered

305
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: by the fact that people are like, I don't know,

306
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: excited about Rashi Rice or something. People are definitely excited

307
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: about Justin Fields. And according to Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getzi,

308
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: Fields is already quote light years ahead of this time

309
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: last year. And this is a lot because Fields, without

310
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: being a great passer, without having a ton of weapons

311
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: to throw to still finish the year last year is

312
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: what quarterbacks six overall I believe it was. Yeah, QB

313
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: six is where he finished ran for eleven hundred yards,

314
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: had eight touchdowns on the ground, just threw for twenty

315
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: two hundred yards and change. Only seventeen passing touchdowns. So

316
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: if he could end up as a top six quarterback

317
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: without being a great passer, and according to the OC

318
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: is light years ahead, what are we talking about? Top

319
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: three QB one, what are we talking about?

320
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: I think QB one is his ceiling. But I'm not

321
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: gonna say like he's the favorite to be the QB

322
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: one or anything. But to me, there's less than ten

323
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that have a chance of finishing as the QB

324
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: one in fantasy this year, and Justin Fields is one

325
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: of them. Like I think Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes,

326
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, Justin Fields, Deshaun Watson, if he can go back,

327
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: turn the clock back, Joe Burrow, I would say yes,

328
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert. But those quarterbacks have to be perfect because

329
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: they're not gonna run nearly as much. So to be

330
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: the QB one, you need to be off the like

331
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers twenty twenty whatever. The first MVP season he

332
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: had where he threw like forty four touchdowns four interceptions,

333
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 3: off the charts efficient was like the QB six in fantasy, right,

334
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: because you don't If you don't run, it's just so

335
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: hard to get to that QB one. So while I

336
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: have Fields ranked as my QB six, I don't think

337
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: like his floor is as safe as a Joe Burrow.

338
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: I do think the ceiling is actually higher because if

339
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: he could give you anywhere close to what he gave

340
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: you with his legs last year and then take that

341
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 3: next step as a passer, and even forget what the

342
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: OC is saying, just having Dj Moore there with Darnel

343
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: Mooney and Claypool, like, I think it will lead to

344
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: better pass results for justin Fields. So to me, it

345
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: depends the passing is gonna determine how highly he could finish.

346
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: But I do think he has a chance to be

347
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: the QB one.

348
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: He's being drafted right now as the QB five. I've

349
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: got him a QB seven, but that's not in Stone

350
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: like I can, you know, I can definitely kind of

351
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: flip that around.

352
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: Give Herbert ahead of him.

353
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: I've got no So, I've got Alan Hurtz, Mahomes Jackson,

354
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: I've got Burrow, and I've got Lawrence because I'm really

355
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: high on Trevor Lawrence.

356
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: Right to me, Fields, Herbert and Lawrence were three that

357
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: I keep debating.

358
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: We've got Herbert just behind Fields. Okay, so we're right there,

359
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: right there, And like I said, again, this is may.

360
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: Things will change. It's not set in stone. I feel

361
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: like though, that's sort of a safe I guess floor

362
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: if you will for Fields, I mean, I think unless

363
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: things go completely sideways, he's going to continue to be

364
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: a QB one, he's going to continue to be a

365
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 2: top ten quarterback. I think in a lot of regards,

366
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: you know, it's just how much does he actually advance

367
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: as a passer? Does do these new weapons make a

368
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: big difference? And I think it will. I would guess,

369
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: you know, looking at nine hundred one thousand yards on

370
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: the ground, if he can get you twenty five hundred

371
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: twenty seven hundred passing yards and get to twenty touchdowns,

372
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 2: top three is certainly not not on reason.

373
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: And we have the same top eight. To me, I think,

374
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: no matter what order you have him in, like those

375
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: should be your top eight. And I think there's a drop.

376
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: Off after that. Yeah, because at that point, I mean

377
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: I've got I've got Deshaun Watson's same.

378
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 3: I don't feel great about it.

379
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: I don't feel great about it, But like the guys after,

380
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: like Sean Watson, like you know, Dak and Daniel Jones

381
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: and Kirk cut Like it's just yeah exactly.

382
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 3: So like in drafts, I think for the first time ever,

383
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: you should prioritize getting a top quarterback, like maybe not

384
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: the top three who you have to use, like a

385
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: top three round pick Togain, but like, I don't want

386
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 3: to Deshaun Watson would be like my emergency, Like if

387
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: I miss out the top eight, I'll take a shot

388
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: on him. But I don't ideally wouldn't want to be

389
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 3: going into the season with like Tua or Rogers or Dak,

390
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 3: Like I just feel like there's better quarterbacks than I

391
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 3: want to be in on them.

392
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: If those are your qb ones, then you are almost

393
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: forced to draft a second quarterback. Ye at that point,

394
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: you know, if you are going into the season and

395
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott for instance, is your QB one, you know,

396
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: I'm also gonna try to come around and I don't

397
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: know if I'm drafting a Jared Goff, you know, if

398
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: i'mfting Anthony Richardson, I was gonna say, Anthony Richardson, that's

399
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: the one for me.

400
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: Like if I don't get one of the top eight

401
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: and I get I would just because it's just upside

402
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 3: for the QB. That's all I want.

403
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: You know, Anthony Richardson can be potentially this year what

404
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: Justin Fields was last year. YEA, a guy who is

405
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: very raw as a passer but can give you those

406
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 2: rushing yards. And if he can get you again nine

407
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: hundred thousand, eleven hundred yards, get you eight touchdowns on

408
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: the ground, you're gonna feel pretty good about what he does.

409
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: This sounds wild. Then I tweeted it out yesterday and

410
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: I don't think the results are in my favor. But

411
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: I ranked Anthony Richardson as the QB thirteen and I

412
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: think that was fifteen.

413
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: I said.

414
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not telling you he's gonna finish

415
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: his QB thirteen, but this is how I rank, how

416
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: I would draft, and after the QB ones, I go

417
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 3: for upside with QB twos, and I don't think the

418
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 3: only one. I'm like, Daniel Jones and him are kind

419
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: of closed because Jones can run as well, but I

420
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 3: don't think Jones is gonna rush for as much as

421
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson does.

422
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: Probably not, but I think Jones will throw for more

423
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: yards and more touchdowns than Anthony Richardson, but I've got

424
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: him as QB fifteen because I think the upside is

425
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: huge on a guy like Richardson, So I don't think

426
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: it's crazy. You know. Again, this is one of those

427
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: things where may people are gonna like yell at you

428
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: and and they're gonna, you know, send out angry tweets,

429
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to August and like, you know,

430
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson will be coming off the boarder is like

431
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 2: QB thirteen, and then you will have.

432
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 3: QB on a certain best ball site, right wow, switch

433
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 3: a certain K nine theme best ball site.

434
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, uh, you know, then you will have your

435
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: come up and your come up and we'll be had. Uh.

436
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: Let's turn focus because last week we sort of recap

437
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: the last couple of days of the draft. Wanted to

438
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: come back this week and talk about some veteran winners

439
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: and losers. Figure we break it down into the guys

440
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: who won and the guys who lost. Maybe we should

441
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: have started with losers, but that's not how I wrote

442
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: this out. So we're just gonna do it the way

443
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: I wrote it. By the way, I didn't even mention

444
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: it the start of the show. Florial's Film Festival is back.

445
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we'll get to that a little bit. There's

446
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: a lot of excitement in the building about what we watched,

447
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: a lot of conversation before the show. But anyway, veteran

448
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 2: winners and losers. Uh the winners. Desmond Ritter sort of

449
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: weirdly won in this. You know, there had been some

450
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: chatter that maybe, just maybe the Falcons could consider a quarterback.

451
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: I know they said they were out on the Lamar

452
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: Jackson sweepstakes, but you know, people like to talk, and

453
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: they thought maybe they could still go after a quarterback. Instead,

454
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: the Falcons got and draft b Jeon Robinson in the

455
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: first high first round pick. They got in to get

456
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: an offensive lineman to help kind of shore up that

457
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: offensive line. They've already got Kyle Pitts, They've already got

458
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: Drake London, so the weapons seemed to be in place

459
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 2: in that offense. Does any of this make Desmond Ridder draftable?

460
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: Probably is nothing more than like a low end QB two,

461
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: But I think there's upside. I think he's more of

462
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: like a super flex kind of quarterback. But I think

463
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 3: there's more upside here, and I think the offense certainly

464
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: is going to be better with Desmond Ridder. My only

465
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 3: concern is are they just gonna They were already one

466
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: of the run heaviest teams in football. Now with Bijon,

467
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 3: are we just Which is why it pains me to

468
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: say this. I'm souring a little on Kyle. I think

469
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 3: he thought amazing and we all know that, but like

470
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 3: I don't. I we know how frustrating it was last year,

471
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 3: and I don't see any reason to think.

472
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: It'll be different. I get that, I do get that.

473
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: I think though some of that concern has sort of

474
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: been baked into his ADP right now. Right now, his

475
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: ADP is right around sixty sixty three, So you're talking

476
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: about round five, which minimizes some of the risks. Last year,

477
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: we were taking Kyle Pitts in like round three, right

478
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: and like I heard people say they took him late

479
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: in round two, which means you did miss out on

480
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,239
Speaker 2: a lot. If you drafted Kyle Pitts this year, if

481
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 2: he's round five, maybe even round six, I think what

482
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 2: you're missing out on to draft him is minimal. I

483
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: still believe in the talent and and I don't know,

484
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: maybe this is just me. Maybe I'm ready for Lucy

485
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: to pull the football away again. But I just believe

486
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: that either Arthur Smith's gonna look at it or somebody's

487
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: gonna sit Arthur Smith down and be like, you have

488
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: two weapons in the passing game, get them the football.

489
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: I know you have Bejon, and I know you want

490
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: to run the ball. You know eighty percent of the

491
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: time if you could, you have these two weapons, you

492
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: have to use them. So that's part of me maybe

493
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: just being stubborn. There's no there's no statistic to back

494
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: that up. It's just a feeling. Really.

495
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: I'm still holding out hope though that because right now, look,

496
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: if you're drafting right now, you're one of the crazies

497
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 3: like us. I'm hoping that when the more casual the

498
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 3: people who are like I don't want Kyle Pitts on

499
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: my team after what he did to me last year.

500
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: I'm hoping because a lot of the times hype guys

501
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 3: we see get pulled up in August, I'm hoping the

502
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 3: reverse effect happens for Kyle Pitts.

503
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 2: I think it will. I think when you get more

504
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: casual players coming in later in the summer, they're gonna

505
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: be like, you idiots told me to draft Kyle Pitts

506
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 2: and he ruined my season and I lost. Screw you guys,

507
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: I'm going home. I do think that ADP is gonna

508
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: come down once you get a lot more casual players

509
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: who have long memories. They start to show up here.

510
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: Gino Smith definitely a winner. They go and add some

511
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: running back help. They get Zach Sharboney. They go out

512
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: and drave Jack Jackson Smith in Jigba, which actually that

513
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: presser should have been the headline there. They get jays In,

514
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: they go as Zach Sharboney. They have kind of gone

515
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 2: all in on Geno Smith as their quarterback. You know,

516
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: he gets a new deal, he gets some weapons. Can

517
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 2: he be AQB one again? I mean, this is a

518
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: guy who was a top ten quarterback last year. Did

519
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 2: he catch lightning at a bottle? Or can he do it again? No?

520
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: I think he could do it again. I think one

521
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 3: Gino is not the same Geno that.

522
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: He was years ago.

523
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: He's obviously developed a lot as a player. I think

524
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 3: he is in a system that is really really friendly

525
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 3: and fits his strengths. And the weapons got even better,

526
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 3: like now they have JSN wide receiver. One in this class,

527
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: who's going to be their number three. I keep saying, like,

528
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 3: I don't know why we're hearing the demise talk for

529
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: Tyler Lockett. Like every metric last year, Tyler Lockett was

530
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: better than DK Metcalf, Like he had more Fantasy points too,

531
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 3: despite much fewer targets. He had more touchdowns despite like

532
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: ten fewer end zone targets. Tyler Lockett is a really

533
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: good running receiver. DK Metcalf is such a big playmaker

534
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 3: that then you add JSN into this. I don't have

535
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 3: Geno ranked as a QB one because I think his

536
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 3: upside is more is like a low end QB one,

537
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: so I tend to put guys like Anthony Richardson who

538
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 3: have a little bit more upside higher. But yeah, I

539
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 3: easily think he could be top twelve, top ten.

540
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: Again, I was gonna be outraged for a second because

541
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: I see that he's coming off the board as QB sixteen.

542
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: I was like, how dare you? And then I went

543
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: back to my rankings and I have him ranked this

544
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: QB sixteen, So I can't really be upset about it,

545
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: but it does sort of you know, there's a disconnect there,

546
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 2: right because this is a guy who was the QB

547
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: five last year, it did it without a whole lot

548
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: of rushing attempt a whole lot of rushing yards, had

549
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty six rushing yards, just one rushing touchdown,

550
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: but through for forty two hundred yards, had thirty touchdowns

551
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: through the air, and I do think that those numbers

552
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: can be repeated. As you mentioned, I mean, they add Jackson,

553
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: Smith and Jig, but they have gotten better on offense.

554
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 2: And now you know, I think they're all comfortable, right

555
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: because I keep saying this. Gino wasn't supposed to be

556
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: their starter at the beginning of last season. It was

557
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: going to be Drew Locke. He stepped in did an

558
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: amazing job with it, so I think he'll I think

559
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 2: he'll continue to be successful. James Cook, you as our

560
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: resident Bills fan. Here they go and signed Damien Harris,

561
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: but they didn't draft anybody they really compete. The Bills

562
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: have this weird habit of collecting pass catching running backs

563
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: and not throwing them to the football. But what do

564
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: you see as James Cook's role in Buffalo this year?

565
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be the lead back for them,

566
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: and he's a breakout candidate won that I know I've

567
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 3: seen some people hyping up Damien Harris, and I'm like,

568
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: I'll continue to do so because I want all the

569
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: James Cook that I can get. Because Cook is explosive,

570
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: he could run between the tackles, but he's also a

571
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 3: good pass catcher. And something that I've talked about a

572
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: lot on this podcast is Sean McDermott and the Bills,

573
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 3: probably more than any team in the NFL, truly believe

574
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: in a rookie wall and last year with their first

575
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 3: and second round pick, their first round pick being Elam

576
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: the cornerback second round pick was Cook, they didn't use

577
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: either of them really consistently until the last part of

578
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: the season and then in the playoffs. So I think

579
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 3: this in year two, we're gonna see Cook kind of

580
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: set free. I think Harris is there to be like

581
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: the short yardage guy. That's my concern if he's gonna

582
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 3: vulture the touchdowns. But you get James Cook as an

583
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 3: RB three, and I.

584
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: Think the upside is much much higher than that. I mean,

585
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: as an RB three, I would love James Cook and

586
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 2: I just I just want him to be involved in

587
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: the passing game. That's all I'm asking for. It's just

588
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: the same, just throwing the ball a little bit. I

589
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: do have him as kind of a low end or

590
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: a high end RB. I should say I got him

591
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: at twenty nine right now, so I just, you know,

592
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 2: I just want clarity, and that's something the Bills have

593
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: not offered us a lot of. But he is in

594
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: line to be the guy there in Buffalo in that

595
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: more than anything else is encouraging.

596
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: I have him at twenty eight. We're in lots, I know, right,

597
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: I promise you.

598
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: But we did not consult with each other on these

599
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: It just sort of has worked out that way. Which

600
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: I was gonna do a show about like rankings and

601
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: where we disagree, and I feel like that's gonna be

602
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: a pretty boring show. Cam Acres still sitting pretty in

603
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. You know the Rams. Obviously, they didn't have

604
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: a ton of draft picks, they have salary cap issues.

605
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: They're sort of kind of a mess in trying to

606
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: rebuild this thing. After the Super Bowl win a couple

607
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: of seasons ago. Acres started slowly during the year, but

608
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: late in the season really picked things up and finished

609
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: very strong in the last five or six weeks of

610
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: the season. Last year looks for the moment, like he's

611
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: going to sort of be the guy they got hiring

612
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: Williams there. They did draft someone kind of late in

613
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: this in the draft, But I'm more curious about Acres himself.

614
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: Who is the real cam Akers. Is it the guy

615
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: that struggled at the start of the year or is

616
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 2: the guy who got hot at the end of the year.

617
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: I think it's the guy who got hot at.

618
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 3: The end of the year because he missed all the

619
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 3: season before with that torn achilles and then early on

620
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: in the year they were kind of it was him

621
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: and Henderson, and remember we were like joking daily on

622
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: this show. It felt like like Sean McVay doesn't even

623
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: know who his lead running back is gonna be. And

624
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: then Acres was in the doghouse and wasn't even used

625
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: a couple of times. And then after they worked all

626
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: of their disagreements out and he didn't get traded and everything,

627
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 3: he went off. And I think it coincides with him

628
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: getting the opportunity from Sean McVay while also getting that

629
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: extra time to recover from that achilles injury, which I

630
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: think people have you as like a Tony acl in

631
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 3: the same light, and it's like no. A torn achilles is,

632
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: in my opinion, the worst injury you could suffer in sports,

633
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: and it's like Akers and Kevin Durant are the success

634
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: stories of coming back. So to me, seeing him play

635
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 3: so well down the stretch has me feeling encouraged. I

636
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: have him right now as the RB nineteen, but I

637
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: feel like I like him more than that ranking indicates.

638
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: So this is where we sorted there. I got him

639
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: at twenty four. Okay, I just you know what Cooper

640
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: cups back. They did draft Zach Evans from Mississippi, but

641
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,239
Speaker 2: he was also sixth round picks. It's not like, you know,

642
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: he's going to necessarily demand opportunity to get on the

643
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: field there. I mean, he will have to earn it

644
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: in training camp. I just think that this offense is

645
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: going to be I don't think it's going to be

646
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: as bad. I don't think it can be as bad

647
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: as it was last year, And with Cooper cup back,

648
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: that takes a lot of opportunity away potentially from Camp Akers.

649
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: But I do think he is closer to the guy

650
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: we saw at the end of the season what we

651
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: saw at the beginning of the season. For what that's worth,

652
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: Traylon Burks. I thought for all the world that the

653
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: Titans were going to draft wide receivers because they need

654
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: wide receivers in the worst possible way. But it appears

655
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 2: that they didn't really feel that way. They drafted a

656
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: receiver in the seventh round, Colton Dowell from Tennessee Martin.

657
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: So right now, Traylon Burks is sort of it at

658
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: least at wide receiver. They got Chikakonko, who I know

659
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: a lot of us like at tight end. We talked

660
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: before about how potentially bad this offense can be. But

661
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: for Burks as the lead target, the main target, what's

662
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: his ceiling this year?

663
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm probably too low on him because

664
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: of the opportunities. He could get a lot of targets,

665
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 3: but he's also going to be the main focal point

666
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: of defenses. I have him ranked his wide receiver thirty seven.

667
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: I feel like that might be a little low, but

668
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 3: it's in this big cluster. There's like a cluster of

669
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: like fifteen twenty wide receivers that I think you could

670
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 3: kind of jumble up. The thing is, I'm really fearful

671
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: of this offense just completely tanking. So I think I'm

672
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: just gonna be lower on most Titans than a lot

673
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: of people because I'm seeing some love for Ryan Tannehill

674
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 3: out there, and I'm like, Ryan Tannehill is good when

675
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 3: you have pieces in place. I don't think they really do.

676
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: And then I think if things go, you know, the way,

677
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: they don't want him too early on in Tennessee, like

678
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 3: we could see a switch to will Levis, especially if

679
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: the Titans are really tanking like, because then they want

680
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: to know what they have in will Levis. So I

681
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 3: don't know, I see a lot of there is upside

682
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: here with Burkes because he's a receiver that I like

683
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 3: his skill set and he should get a lot of volume.

684
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: But I just I don't know. I see a lot

685
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: of pitfalls in his way as well. Wait, I'm wondering

686
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: where you have him ranked.

687
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: So if you say you're too low on him, then

688
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: that makes me feel worse because I've got him at

689
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: thirty eight. You got a thirty seven, I've got him

690
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: at thirty eight. Again, lockstep, We're pretty much we're pretty much,

691
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: you know, walking side by side on this one. Just

692
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: because I think the upside for Traylon Burks is that

693
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 2: as the main target we know that Ryan Tannehill can

694
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 2: support at least one target in the offense. I think

695
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: he ends up having that job all year long, unless

696
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: you know, something happens injury wise, then maybe we see

697
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: Will Levis. But I think they're gonna let let Tannehill

698
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: sort of ride it out in whatever. This possibly his

699
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: swan song there in Tennessee. Burks is gonna get a

700
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: ton of targets, but I just don't see this offense

701
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: being very productive or scoring a lot of touchdowns. And

702
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: if you know these rumors happen and they move on

703
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: from Derrick Henry at some point during the season, that

704
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: offense gets even worse, and I think they're even less productive,

705
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: which again sort of impacts Burkes and what his potential is.

706
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: So I'm just not excited about it. It falls under

707
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: the category of hey man, somebody's got to catch the ball,

708
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: which to me is just not always a sound way

709
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: to draft players. That's it Remindre Stevenson, which I think

710
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: we're all sort of happy about because we loved what

711
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: he did last season, and we were very big on

712
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: Stevenson seasons and and it appears it is Stevenson seasonson

713
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: once again. Damien Harris is gone. The Patriots did not

714
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 2: draft any running backs. They did, you know, make some

715
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 2: offseason moves. But Ken Stevenson, I mean, this might be

716
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 2: the silliest question here. Is he an RB one this year? Yes?

717
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 3: Like I know people were trying to knock Stevenson what

718
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 3: he did last year and saying like, oh, it was

719
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 3: because Damien Harris got hurt and stuff like, no, he's

720
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 3: better than Damien Harrison, like they let him walk. I

721
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 3: have Stevenson as the RB ten right now, and he

722
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: might even get boosted up. The only concern was like,

723
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 3: are they gonna drive Bijon because there was a lot

724
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 3: of rumors about that.

725
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 2: They didn't.

726
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 3: They didn't take Gibbs, and that's it. There's like Stevenson's

727
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 3: gonna get all the volume there. He's gonna get all

728
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: the carry targets out of the backfield on a Patriots

729
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 3: offense that probably cannot be worse than it was last year.

730
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 2: That's probably true. I've got him at fifteen, but I'm

731
00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 2: very much open to to sort of you know, readjusting

732
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: that right because there are some guys like I may

733
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: move Traves et and down. I think at this point,

734
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sort of not sure what to make

735
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: of an Aaron Jones somebody like that. So I'm definitely

736
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 2: open to sort of reevaluating that. And again, fifteen, it

737
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 2: makes you a high end QB two, it gives you

738
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: some some running back one upside. I think that's sort

739
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: of where I am with Stevenson. And again this is

740
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: sort of like with Burks, just not sure how good

741
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: the Patriots offense is going to be, but at least

742
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 2: knowing that Stevenson's going to get a lot of chances

743
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 2: to touch the football with you know, not necessarily a

744
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 2: ton behind him. I mean, there will be guys there

745
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: that can potentially, you know, make some plays and you know,

746
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 2: get some opportunities, but this is going to be mostly

747
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: Vermondre Stevenson's show, I think this year in New England.

748
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: Take a quick break, come back, we'll talk about the

749
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: guys on the down side, and we'll dive back into

750
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: Florio's film festival with a little bit of action from

751
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 2: South of the Border that's coming up next on the

752
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. So we talked about the good,

753
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: let's talk about the bad, the guys who did not

754
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: make out so well because of the NFL draft. And

755
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: let's start with Rashad Penny, because when he signed in Philadelphia,

756
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: it seemed like, hey man, things are great. Rashad Penny's

757
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: gonna get opportunity, It's gonna be great in a great offense.

758
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 2: And then lul of a hold, here comes DeAndre Swift

759
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 2: in a trade from the Detroit Lions over to Philadelphia.

760
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 2: So you've got DeAndre Swift, You've got Kenneth Gainwell, you've

761
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 2: got Rashad Penny, You've got Boston Scott. Is is he

762
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 2: anything more than like an RB three in fantasy now?

763
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: In this crowded backfield.

764
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 3: No, I have Swift at RB twenty seven and Penny

765
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: at RB thirty six right now. And I was so

766
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 3: excited for Rashad Penny after free agency and he was

767
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: the only running back they brought in. But now getting Swift,

768
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 3: to me, I could see this. I also think it

769
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 3: hurts Kenny gaine Well. I could see Swift being their

770
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 3: lead pass catching running back and then like Swift and

771
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: Penny splitting groundwork and Gainwell kind of sprinkled in. I

772
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 3: also could just see it being like an all out mess.

773
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 3: I don't think one of these guys is gonna like

774
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 3: put up Miles Sanders type numbers like last year. I

775
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 3: think it'll be more of a committee approach because Swift

776
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 3: and Penny have both struggled to stay on the field.

777
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what the Eagles are thinking, like, Hey, if

778
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 3: we could piece together seventeen games in a playoff run

779
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 3: with these two, then we'll be fine.

780
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's it. You know, I still want

781
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: to be excited, Like, I've got Swift at running back seventeen,

782
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: I've got Penny. I'd like twenty five. You know, I

783
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: want to believe in these guys because the offense is good.

784
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 2: And look not that Swift was in a good offense

785
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 2: last year in Detroit. Penny was in a pretty good

786
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: offense last year in Seattle. It was very productive there.

787
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 2: But they now get to go behind a great offensive

788
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: line in Philadelphia. They get to work with Jalen Hurts

789
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: and that group of pass catchers there. I want to

790
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 2: be optimistic about it, but I think you make a

791
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: good point in that there's a very good chance that

792
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: they just really just go to the committee situation. Frustrate

793
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: the hell out of all of us. When you know

794
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 2: you're starting, you're starting DeAndre Swift and suddenly it's Kenny

795
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 2: Gainwell getting catches on third down. You're like, but what

796
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: the hell is going on here?

797
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 3: Sort of if one was to run away with it,

798
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 3: I do think it will be swift. I think he's

799
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 3: the best all around talent.

800
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 2: But but you never know. I mean, Philadelphia is part

801
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: of the reason they're successful is because they are varying

802
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 2: their attacks on a regular basis. Speaking of Seattle and

803
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: guys that had been there, Kenneth Walker the third is

804
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: still there. We were excited about his opportunity, it seemed.

805
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: And then here comes Zach Sharboney, who I really like,

806
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 2: and look, trust me, like I'm praising at UCLA Bruin.

807
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 2: So don't think that I'm not aware of what's happening

808
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 2: right now. Charboney shows up there, and I think this

809
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: is a guy who can be a really nice piece

810
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 2: in this offense. You mentioned this before too, that you

811
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: know the Sea have showed that they want to run

812
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 2: multiple backs. So is Kenneth Walker still in RB one now?

813
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 2: With Sharbona there?

814
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: Not for me and this might seem too low. I

815
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 3: have him as the RB twenty one right now. Wow, Like,

816
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 3: and i'd at cost I'd much rather Charboneau like, because

817
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 3: you're gonna get rounds discount, and I think it could

818
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: be a situation where week to week, like I think

819
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 3: right now, the thinking is like, this is Kenneth Walker

820
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 3: still going to be the lead back? He was so

821
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 3: good last year, but he's like an explosive runner where

822
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 3: Charbonneau is better at between the tackles running and he's

823
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 3: more physical. And so I could see there being weeks

824
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 3: where Kenneth Walker finishes as an RB one top ten,

825
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 3: maybe even top five, because he's so explosive and has

826
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 3: that much upside. But then I could see there being

827
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 3: other weeks where he's not a top twenty, top thirty

828
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 3: running back and all the production goes to the other guys.

829
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, this is a backfield that I think is

830
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 3: gonna be kind of murky. And when there's the backfield

831
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 3: like this, as much as I like the talent of

832
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: Kenny Walker and was all ready to have him as

833
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 3: a top ten running back before the draft, I'll just

834
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 3: go with the guy.

835
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 2: That's much cheaper. So I've got him a little higher

836
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 2: than you. I've got him at sixteen. I've got sharbon

837
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 2: A at thirty four. Sane right now now, because Pekar

838
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 2: wants to run the ball. Even as good as as

839
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: Gino Smith was last year, I still think they want

840
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 2: to run the ball, and I think, you know, as

841
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 2: been pointed out, they really want to try to rotate

842
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: backs through there. Now they've got a guy in Charbone

843
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: that can step in and take some of those opportunities,

844
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 2: so I you know, I think that hurts Walker, which

845
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 2: is frustrating because we loved what he did last year

846
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 2: with hoping that he would get more of an opportunity

847
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 2: other big losers. I just put the New York Giants

848
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: wide receiver corps first off, they were a collection of

849
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: slot receivers in search of an offense. Then they go

850
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 2: out and add Jalen Hyatt, who he's definitely the speed

851
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: element in this offense. He's the guy that can, you know,

852
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: stretch the field a little bit. But it's still one

853
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: more guy that they have to try to get the

854
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 2: football too. Right when you're already looking at him, Let's

855
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 2: just let's look at some of the guys that they

856
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 2: have already, right, Darius Slayton, what Isaiah Hodgens, jan Dale Robinson,

857
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 2: Sterling Shepherd is back. I know I'm missing some people

858
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 2: there but you know that's they added Darren Waller, who's

859
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 2: going to be the target leader in this offense, and

860
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 2: then they go get Jalen Hyatt. Maybe they move on

861
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: from some of these guys. I don't know, but there's

862
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: just there's so much confusion. There is there any guy

863
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 2: in this past group, in this wide receiver group, I

864
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 2: should say that that you have any interest in.

865
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 3: Jalen Hyatt would be the one, just because, like you said,

866
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: he brings the speed in the downfield element, so he

867
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 3: he can have those big blow up weeks. And I

868
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 3: think they're gonna give him plenty of opportunity because they

869
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 3: need that, Like they had by far the fewest attempts,

870
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 3: completions and yards on deep passes last season. But he's

871
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 3: still one. I think that's better in best ball because

872
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 3: he's gonna be very up and down. The way I'm

873
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 3: attacking the Giants passing game is Darren.

874
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: Waller or Busts.

875
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: And being able to get Darren Waller as like the

876
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: tight end seven is part of the reason I'm souring

877
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 3: on Kyle Pitts because I'm like, I could take Kyle

878
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 3: Pitts in the fifth or wait a round or two

879
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 3: and get Darren Waller, and I'm very big on Darren

880
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 3: Waller right now, but yeah, so if I if he counts,

881
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: I'll take him. If not, it's it's Jalen Hyatt and

882
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 3: more than likely though it's.

883
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 2: Probably no one. Yeah, it's just you know, maybe Hyatt.

884
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 2: I forgot Paris Campbell also is there. They have Jamison Crowder.

885
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 3: On the who has now completed his He went from

886
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 3: the Jets to the Bills to the Giants.

887
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: He's completed the New York At all of the New

888
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 2: York claiming teams, only one of them actually plays in

889
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 2: New York. But you know whatever, they all claim New York.

890
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: Uh.

891
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 2: I yeah, it's highat maybe for me, I can't see

892
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 2: myself drafting any Giants receivers. Darren Waller obviously, but no

893
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 2: receivers here. There's just nothing about this group that gets

894
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: me very excited at all. Tis Marshall Junior sort of

895
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 2: loses out here because, again, this was an offense that

896
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 2: we talked about before, didn't really have a clear cut

897
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 2: number one wide receiver. They went out and they got

898
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 2: DJ Chark, They go out and get Adam Thielen, but

899
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 2: then they draft Jonathan Mingo, who I think right now,

900
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: I've seen him as number two on the depth chart,

901
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: but I feel like that's a temporary state of affairs.

902
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 2: I mean, Marshall in this first couple of years has

903
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 2: really provided nothing in terms of production. And sure there's

904
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: always a chance for that third year breakout, but it

905
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 2: just seems unlikely based on what he's done the first

906
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: two years. You never really want to definitively put a

907
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: stamp on someone's career. But is it over for Tarras

908
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 2: Marshall Junior.

909
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 3: I think it's over for him being someone that you

910
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 3: can draft. Maybe as the season progresses, if he gets

911
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 3: an upper tunity. I still think there's talent here with

912
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 3: with Terrace Marshall Junior. He's a big bodied receiver, but

913
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 3: I think my expectation is to start the year their

914
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: two wide receiver sets are gonna be feeling in Chark

915
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 3: and with Mingo playing the third. But I could see

916
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 3: that switching quickly as the season goes on. So maybe

917
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 3: there's still hope for him hitting as a waiver wire guy.

918
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's off my draft like I'm not. There's

919
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: just receivers who I think have a much clearer path

920
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 3: to upside, like late in drafts, like Jalen Hyatt, for example,

921
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: that I would rather take over. I mean, and I

922
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 3: think we talked about this last week, like Mingo's a

923
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 3: guy that in a vacuum. I have mild interest in him.

924
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 2: But I think if you're talking, say a Dynasty rookie draft,

925
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 2: and you look around at the situations for other guys,

926
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: You're like, oh yeah, Jonathan Mingo like this sort of

927
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: sort of how it is. And I think when I

928
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 2: look at the Panthers wide receiver group, I'm like, Okay,

929
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 2: sure I can. I can tell myself a story about

930
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 2: DJ Chark. You know, if he can stay healthy, stay

931
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: on the field, I can see him being productive. Adam

932
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 2: Feeling and I'm probably out on Terrace Marshall probably Oatta,

933
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: but huh, you know, Jonathan Mingo, you know what I mean.

934
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 2: So when it comes back to with him, because I

935
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 2: do think that before the year is out, you're gonna

936
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 2: see him on the field consistently, especially when Carolina is

937
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: running three wide receiver sets in that offense. Dawson Knox.

938
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 2: We like the Dawson. I think the Bills still like

939
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 2: the Dawson, but they also have the Dalton. Now they

940
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 2: drafted Dalton Kincaid. Can Dawson Knox coexist with Dalton Kinkaid

941
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 2: in this offense in a real.

942
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 3: Life sense, yes, In a fantasy sense, I don't think so.

943
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 3: Like the Bills have been vocal about wanting to run

944
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: more twelve personnel, and I've seen some like analytics that

945
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 3: said last year, twelve is the best way to pass,

946
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 3: like the most effective, and the Bills ran at the

947
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 3: second fewest in football, And they're saying they're gonna use

948
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 3: Kincaid as a slock guy. They camped him to like

949
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 3: a bigger Cole Beasley. But I think for fantasy there's

950
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 3: only enough so much volume to go around, and we

951
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 3: know Diggs is gonna get his, Gabe Davis will get

952
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 3: his as the number two, I think King Kaid is

953
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 3: going to see more volume than Knox because they really

954
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 3: only like knocks in the red zone, Like he's not

955
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 3: a big guy that they used between the twenties or

956
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 3: not someone that they like. It's like catch and run ability.

957
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 3: So while I think they can co exist in real life,

958
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 3: i'd rather Kinkaid in fantasy, and I have them both

959
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 3: ranked as tight end twos outside the top twelve. But

960
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: I have King Kid ranked higher because I just think

961
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 3: he has more upside.

962
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 2: I think he has way more upside than than Dawson Knox.

963
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: I mean Knocks. I think at some point last year

964
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: became incredibly touchdown dependent because he wasn't getting the targets

965
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: on a regular basis that he needed to be successful.

966
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 2: And look at it's worked out over the last two seasons,

967
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 2: fifteen total touchdowns, but it still never reached even six

968
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 2: hundred yards receiving in a season. I mean, I think

969
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: Kinkaid can top those numbers. I think he can get you,

970
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: you know, six seven hundred yards of the season. I

971
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: think he can get you eight touchdowns in that offense.

972
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 2: You know, I am curious how the Bills sort of

973
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: figure out how to get both these guys on the field,

974
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 2: because I think you want to just completely toss Knocks aside.

975
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 2: But if you're asking me which Bills tight end I'd

976
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 2: rather have, it is, without a doubt, going to be

977
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 2: Daltonton Kid this year. Last one more tight end talk

978
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 2: Austin Hooper, who is now in Las Vegas. The Raiders

979
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 2: added Hooper. They also added Oj Howard after moving on

980
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: from Darren Waller. Then they turn around draft Michael Mayer, who,

981
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 2: depending on who you ask, might be the most well

982
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 2: rounded tight end that came out of this draft class.

983
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 2: So how soon does Michael Mayer become the starter in Vegas?

984
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 3: My hope is week one. The more realistic thing I'm

985
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 3: thinking is probably a few weeks into this season. We

986
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 3: know it takes rookie tight ends a little bit to

987
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 3: get going, but in my expectation, like the second half

988
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 3: of the season should be the Michael Mayers show at

989
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 3: tight end there not Austin Hooper.

990
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: I think so too. I mean, I think you know

991
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 2: the old adage about tight ends taking a little bit

992
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 2: longer to kind of get going because they're asked to

993
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 2: do so much. But I think Mayor is a guy

994
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 2: who can come in and immediately get on the field,

995
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 2: And I just do think it's not gonna be very

996
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: long before you're gonna see Michael Mayer as the guy there,

997
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: you know, O J. Howard. As much as we want

998
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: him to be that guy, I mean, at this point

999
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 2: in his career, I just don't think it's gonna happen

1000
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 2: for him. Austin Hooper has had a nice run at

1001
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 2: tight end, but you know, I think we also we've

1002
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 2: seen the ceiling for him at this point too. We

1003
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 2: sort of know who he is, Michael Mayer, we're still

1004
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 2: really excited about. So I think he's gonna get you know,

1005
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 2: he's gonna get the chance fairly early. I think to

1006
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 2: be the starter for the Raiders. So there you go.

1007
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 2: Those are some of our winners lose. I know we

1008
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 2: had a whole lot more names, but this show could

1009
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 2: have been two hours long, and we have to get

1010
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 2: to the fun point to get to the meat of

1011
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 2: what we wanted to do here today, which is the

1012
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: return of Florio's film Festival. Took a few weeks off

1013
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 2: because there was this thing called the NFL Draft. I

1014
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: don't know, something like that.

1015
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

1016
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 2: This week Desperado nineteen ninety five the quick synopsis. Former

1017
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 2: musician and gun slinger El Mariachi arrives at a small

1018
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 2: Mexican border town after being away for a long time.

1019
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: His past quickly catches up with him, and he soon

1020
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 2: gets entangled with the local drug Kingpinbucho and his gang.

1021
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 2: I would take issue with some of that synopsis because

1022
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 2: I don't know that his pass caught up with him

1023
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 2: as much as he went looking for it. Yeah, but

1024
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: just some quick facts about it. At least August twenty fifth,

1025
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five, with a budget of seven million dollars,

1026
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 2: grossed twenty five million dollars worldwide, so definitely a success.

1027
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: I always ask you if there are any unanswered questions,

1028
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 2: but there's not a lot of thinking that goes on

1029
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: in this movie. No.

1030
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 3: The only thing I kind of came away from was like, uh,

1031
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 3: where did he Where did these two? Like I know

1032
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 3: they're his friends, but the two other guys who have

1033
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 3: guitar case? We yes, yeah, Like where where? And why

1034
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 3: does he know these two?

1035
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 2: Like, I mean, other than they were in a mariachi

1036
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: group together. That's about all I can feel. I mean,

1037
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: I would love to see a backstory. If they would

1038
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 2: ever go back and do a backstory on those three guys,

1039
00:49:58,840 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 2: that'd be interesting.

1040
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 3: My biggest question was like why did why was guitar

1041
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 3: case your weapon of choice? Like I understand for him,

1042
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 3: like he goes into the bars, He's like, oh, I'm

1043
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 3: just carrying the guitar. And I even thought it was

1044
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 3: really cool, like when they first search him and they

1045
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 3: open it up and it is just the guitar. I

1046
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 3: thought that was really cool. But his other two friends

1047
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 3: took it a step too far where they made the

1048
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 3: guitar cases the weapon like the one dude is legitimately

1049
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 3: just moving his arms like this and machine just shooting

1050
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 3: machine guns. And then the other guy, which which Albert

1051
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 3: pointed out those stands with his leg all the way up.

1052
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, because you can't have a guitar case rocket

1053
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 2: launcher and not have a cool stance to fire it.

1054
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: You just can't stand there like a nitwit and fire it.

1055
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 2: It's like one, how many rockets can this guitar case fit?

1056
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 2: He is shooting endless rockets? And but it was.

1057
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 3: It was a fun movie. It The only other thing

1058
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 3: takeaway I had was uh buco. He needs to take

1059
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 3: his gang for some tar get practiced, because they are

1060
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 3: the worst shots I've ever seen.

1061
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they are the descendants from Stormtroopers basically is

1062
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 2: what they are. Because they are they are terrible.

1063
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 3: There's one scene in the first time he goes to

1064
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 3: the bar. You've seen this movie, Like, he's running times

1065
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 3: before you across the bar, yes, and the bar is

1066
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 3: smaller than this room, it looks like, and they're all

1067
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 3: on one side with machine guns and he's just running

1068
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 3: across the bar and they are not hitting him at all,

1069
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 3: not at all, but he doesn't miss.

1070
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 2: He is at some point just throwing bullets at people

1071
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: almost and he's hitting people. I mean just the way

1072
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 2: he's firing, it's like he's just slinging bullets out of

1073
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: the gun. I mean, he was straight up, you know,

1074
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 2: NBA point guard behind the back shooting people. It was insane.

1075
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 2: The amount of the number of angles from which Antonio

1076
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 2: Banderis was killing bad guys in this movie. A few

1077
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 2: other fun facts. The film cost approximately seven million dollars

1078
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: to make, which is a thousand times the amount of

1079
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 2: money that Robert Rodriguez spent to make El Mariachi, which

1080
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 2: is actually the technically the prequel to this one. This

1081
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 2: was going to be originally an English language remake of

1082
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 2: El Mariachi. I was telling you before the show, this

1083
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 2: is technically a sequel, but basically it's just El Mariachi

1084
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 2: with a bigger budget.

1085
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 3: So in El Mariachi, does is he going because someone

1086
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 3: killed the because someone killed his woman?

1087
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 2: Yes, so so he's going after that.

1088
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 3: Technically, then you could say he gets remarried and then

1089
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 3: she gets killed again, and then he gets with another

1090
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 3: girl and almost gets her killed at some point.

1091
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 2: It seems like bad news for her at some point

1092
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 2: that you had to look in the mirror and be like,

1093
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: I'm the problem.

1094
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 3: Maybe it's it's not all everyone else, it's me.

1095
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 2: It's me. I'm the problem. Speaking of which, Carolina who

1096
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 2: was played by Samahayak in the movie, Jennifer Lopez tried

1097
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 2: out for that role, which I don't know. I don't

1098
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 2: know that it works.

1099
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 3: I was gonna say I wouldn't have complained, but I

1100
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 3: I don't. I think it was cast properly.

1101
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think it works with

1102
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 2: j Low in that role. When Desperado hit theater, Salmajaiak

1103
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 2: took her parents and brothers to see it, but made

1104
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 2: them go into the lobby when the sex scene was played.

1105
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 3: That wasn't a scene that I was like, it didn't

1106
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 3: need to be in the movie.

1107
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it didn't need to be in the movie. No,

1108
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 2: But you know, Robert Rodriguez understands the you know, the

1109
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 2: need for gratuitousness. Basic.

1110
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 3: It was very nineties too, like not just that, but

1111
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 3: like all the scenes were like the scene would kind

1112
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 3: of fade into another scene. There was a lot of

1113
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 3: nineties touches going on. The one also thing I laughed

1114
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 3: at was the rocket launcher shoots the limo and it

1115
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 3: barely does any damage, and then he shoots it a

1116
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 3: second time and like the entire town blows up.

1117
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I mean, well, you know, there are not

1118
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 2: a lot of big explosions. There was the scene where

1119
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 2: Antonio Benders drops two grenades down and they're walking away

1120
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 2: on the rooftop and there's an enormous explosion behind which

1121
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 2: it looked badass but very not realistic.

1122
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. That so that was my Like, it was an

1123
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 3: enjoyable movie to watch, but there was a lot of

1124
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 3: points where I did like kind of chuckle to myself.

1125
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 3: I was like, this is it goes the route of

1126
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 3: like almost like bad action movies, where like they overdo

1127
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 3: the action. But and again, I like, that's what we

1128
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 3: signed up for.

1129
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the point of this right. One other

1130
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 2: fun fact for you. During the production of the film,

1131
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 2: director Robert Rodriguez and actor Danny Treyhill discovered that they

1132
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 2: were second cousins, which.

1133
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,479
Speaker 3: Is really funny. Also, Danny trey Hill's character was so.

1134
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 2: Cool and didn't say a word. He never spoke a

1135
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 2: word in the movie.

1136
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 3: Like he is going to a literally going to a

1137
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 3: gunfight with a bunch of nines and cannot be be

1138
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 3: Like I was like, this is awesome.

1139
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 2: He he took a little bit of ass before they

1140
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 2: finally took him down.

1141
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 3: And then when they were like this is him, we

1142
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 3: got him, I was like, I was like, I guess

1143
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 3: this helps, you know in the long run. But I

1144
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I really wanted to see the those

1145
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 3: to fight each.

1146
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 2: Other, see Benderas and Trey how Fi. Yeah, it would

1147
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 2: have been kind of fun actually just to kind of

1148
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 2: watch that, to watch that happen, but alas we did

1149
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 2: not get it. There was a third movie in this

1150
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 2: trilogy called that Once Upon a Time in Mexico, which, Eh,

1151
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 2: I don't know, Albert, I'm sure you've seen it out

1152
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 2: of your thoughts. It's just meh. It's kind of Johnny

1153
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 2: Depp is in it, so he's weird and quirky and

1154
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 2: Johnny deppish.

1155
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 3: So it comes kind of full circle because uh, Tartino

1156
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 3: was in this movie and then made Once upon a

1157
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 3: Time in Hollywood, so I guess like kind of hit

1158
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 3: his cameo. We were talking before the show. It was

1159
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 3: it was pretty cool. The joke he tells isn't funny

1160
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,919
Speaker 3: at all, but when him cracking up at it made

1161
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 3: me laugh.

1162
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 2: It's the joke itself is not funny. It's the way

1163
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 2: he tells, yes, yeah.

1164
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Like when he's telling it, I was laughing,

1165
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 3: and I was like, what he's actually saying is it's

1166
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 3: the way like he.

1167
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 2: Just like starts laughing to himself, and the joke itself

1168
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 2: is not actually funny. It also cannot be repeated on

1169
00:55:58,400 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 2: this show.

1170
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 3: Steve Buscemi, I did not expect the movie to open

1171
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 3: up with him at all, but his storytelling was great.

1172
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 2: Which that role was written for him. In fact, if

1173
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 2: you watch the credits, the character's name is just Boushimi.

1174
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 3: I saw that. I was like, how did he get

1175
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 3: to just be.

1176
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 2: Because the role was written specifically for him to do that,

1177
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: so they just gave the character his last name.

1178
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 3: He's amazing at telling stories like that, Like, there's not

1179
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 3: many actors who do it better.

1180
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 2: And you know, there's that many actors who get to

1181
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 2: have as long a career as he does. Looking the

1182
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 2: way he looks, that is very true. He's not a

1183
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 2: hands he's a great actor. He's not a handsome man.

1184
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 3: He plays. My first introduction to him was Crazy Eyes

1185
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 3: and mister Deed's so for like think about that, Like

1186
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 3: he's in so many movies and I'd see them and

1187
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 3: be like, there's Crazy Eyes until like I saw enough

1188
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 3: of his movies that I now know who he is.

1189
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 2: Well, see that reminds me that there are still a

1190
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 2: long list. We still have a long summer. So is

1191
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 2: on the list of movies you're going to watch, and

1192
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 2: you will see Crazy Eyes again.

1193
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 3: I've seen Reservoir Dogs. We don't have to watch that,

1194
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 3: but but I have seen that that that he's great in.

1195
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 3: All right, So I mean in the end, I mean

1196
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 3: you mentioned that it's very nineties.

1197
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 2: It looks sort of dated at this point, but uh,

1198
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 2: you know, would you willingly watch it again?

1199
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it holds up if you're going into

1200
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 3: it being like this is a nineties action movie, if

1201
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 3: you expect it to compare to like Fast X, which

1202
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 3: is about to come out, Yeah, you're gonna be disappointed

1203
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 3: in that. But uh yeah, no, I think it held

1204
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 3: it that everything was super nineties though, the way they

1205
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 3: were dressed, everything, And I mean I love the nineties,

1206
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 3: so I enjoyed it. I definitely would watch it again.

1207
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 3: It's funny, though, how many people in this room and

1208
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 3: other people I spoke to were like, I haven't seen

1209
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 3: that movie in so long, I barely remember it, and

1210
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'd watch it again.

1211
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 2: I mean, look, there's there's really not much to remember about, folks.

1212
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 2: You know, the rocket launcher guitar case man out for revenge,

1213
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 2: blasts everyone in his way. The end, That's what happened.

1214
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 3: Do you think he got his satisfaction because he was like,

1215
00:57:58,520 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 3: maybe I will.

1216
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 2: I think I will. I think he did. I mean,

1217
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 2: in the end, he has to spoiler alert, he has

1218
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 2: to kill his own brother. Uh in the movie. The

1219
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: movie is thirty years old. Guys like that spoiler at

1220
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 2: this point, Uh, he has to kill his own brother.

1221
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 2: But he ends up with a new woman at apparent

1222
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 2: he has found a new love. I will say that

1223
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 2: for someone who massacred half of a town, he had

1224
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 2: very little urgency to actually leave town.

1225
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 3: Also, I I totally the guns in the sleeves was

1226
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 3: a cool old ass. Yeah, and I get that he

1227
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 3: would kill his brother in that moment. There was also

1228
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 3: like fifty point at him. He's not walking.

1229
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 2: Out of that. Yeah, yeah, he did have to slay

1230
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 2: the army behind Boucho afterwards, but again like afterwards, he's

1231
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 2: also I get it, he wants to, you know, save

1232
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 2: this child who was shot during the battle, but you

1233
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 2: just killed a lot of people, like maybe get out

1234
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 2: of town. And he didn't really see him.

1235
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 3: In a hurry, and I know, like so he went

1236
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 3: back and picked up the guitar case. But when he

1237
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 3: threw it, I'm like, there's no way you are not

1238
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 3: going to after what you just.

1239
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 2: Did, You're gonna need that guitar case. Again. I was

1240
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 2: just magic coul you might just running across the guitar

1241
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 2: case full of guns in the middle of you like

1242
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 2: on the side of the road.

1243
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 3: The thing that they did a good job with was

1244
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 3: making it seem like he had been like town to

1245
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 3: town already, like he was such a well known.

1246
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the legend has grown. That was great. That

1247
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 2: was a really cool touch. Without it, I was trying

1248
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 2: to be like a six degrees of the NFL for

1249
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 2: this movie, and it didn't take me very long. Because

1250
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 2: Fred Williamson, who played for the Kansas City Chiefs back

1251
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 2: and I believe the sixties, I was in from dut Dawn,

1252
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 2: which was written by Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Wow,

1253
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure if I went deeper, I probably could have

1254
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 2: found more. But my head hurt.

1255
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 3: Can we start doing this for every movie now.

1256
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 2: In the NFL? Yeah?

1257
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 3: Because I'm not good at those games, but I always

1258
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 3: find super interesting when people are.

1259
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:50,479
Speaker 2: I was trying to, like, somehow link it to Pitch

1260
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 2: Perfect too, because the Green Bay Packers feature heavily and

1261
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 2: pitch Perfect too.

1262
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I've never seen Pitch.

1263
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 2: Perfect me neither. I just know that that Clay Matthews

1264
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 2: and like a chunk of the Packer offensive line was

1265
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 2: in them.

1266
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 3: I hope we could just connect one of these nineties

1267
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 3: action movies to eighty for Brady. That's my goal this summer.

1268
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 2: All right, we'll work on that. So our next film

1269
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 2: in the film festival. You mentioned Fast X, which comes

1270
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 2: out in a little over a week. I think I've

1271
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 2: mentioned on this show. I am nearing the end of

1272
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 2: my Fast series. Rewatch. I still have to watch I

1273
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 2: haven't watched nine yet. That's the one I want to

1274
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 2: talk to. I haven't gotten nine yet. That's gonna be

1275
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 2: hopefully the next couple of days. But with Fast X

1276
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 2: coming out, I want to go all the way back

1277
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 2: to the first Fast and Furious movie and not watch that,

1278
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 2: but watch Point Break from nineteen ninety one, because if

1279
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 2: you like The Fast and the Furious, you will like

1280
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 2: Point Break because they are the same film. Just replaced

1281
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 2: cars with surfing, and you've got pretty much the same movie.

1282
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 3: I'm so happy we're doing this. And you said this

1283
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 3: because for years my old roommate was like, dude, you

1284
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 3: like Fast and the Furious, watch Point Break.

1285
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 2: It's the same movie, and I don't like the movie.

1286
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, well it can't be. And now I

1287
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 3: told him that and he was like, why didn't you

1288
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 3: listen to me sooner? So he's very happy that.

1289
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm the same film. So next week on this show,

1290
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 2: we will talk about Point Break from nineteen ninety one,

1291
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 2: not the remake they did a few years ago, because

1292
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 2: that was trash. It's going to be Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze,

1293
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 2: Lori Petty the whole nineties as a guest. It is

1294
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 2: super nineties, it is nineteen ninety one. It is amazing.

1295
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 2: We will talk about it next week on this show,

1296
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 2: so look forward to that should be a lot of fun.

1297
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 2: It will help us get ready for Fast X for

1298
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 2: those of us who celebrate that holiday. In the meantime,

1299
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 2: this has been a beefy, lengthy show, so it's time

1300
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 2: for us to probably put it down for now. That'll

1301
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 2: do it for this edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

1302
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 2: They happy, save and healthy, do good and live well,

1303
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 2: enjoy the week and everybody, and we'll talk to you

1304
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 2: next week. Wo
