The Bills 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.800 decided they didn't like one of their cornerbacks and one 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.200 of their wide receivers, so with two different trades, they 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:21.400 replaced them both. Okay. Jordan Matthews moving from Philadelphia to Buffalo. 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.280 Sammy Watkins going all the way West, going back with 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.799 his homeboy Robert Woods in Los Angeles with the Rams. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.359 We're gonna talk about that, and you know, we put 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.320 the fun in functional sports radio.

Okay, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.680 James Paxson, the Seattle Mariners starting pitcher, has been put 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.080 on the ten day d L. That news just broke 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.800 after you suffered a pectoral strain in last night's start. 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.200 So keep an eye out on him and get him 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.359 out of your lineups for next week. The Mets, and 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.440 I know you're gonna love this, Florio, the Mets have 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.960 called up first baseman Dominic Smith. This guy was mashing 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.360 in the Pacific Coach League. We're hitting three thirty, seventeen 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:40.040 home runs, seventies, six r b i s, and now 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.640 the path to at bats is clear. Remember the Mets 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.919 have traded Luca's Duda, They've traded Jay Bruce. It is 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.720 a new day with guys like Dominic Smith and of 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:54.520 course Ahmed Rosario. Cubs catcher Wilson Contraras he is expected 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.159 to come back at some point this season, but it 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.160 probably won't be until late September after roster's expand. Alex a. 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.240 Villa may in fact get everyday work. He is in 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.520 the sixth spot of that lineup today. And for the Yankees, 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.200 starting pitcher C C. Sabathia has been placed on the 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.359 ten day disabled list with that knee inflammation. They have 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.800 recalled Jordan Montgomery from Triple A. However, honestly, guys, the 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.880 news and notes for the NFL today is much bigger. Okay, First, 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.440 I'm gonna start small Dolphins second round pick ray Kwon McMillan, 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.160 and I just had to say ray Kwan because you 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.680 know I'm a Wu Tang fan, right, ray Kwon McMillan 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.279 tore his a c L. This is the second round pick. 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.320 He was gonna be there starting middle linebacker and now 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.400 he is gone for the season. Then we had some 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.440 trades today, Okay, we had some trades today centered in Buffalo. 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:48.200 First of all, they the Bills trade wide receiver stud 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:52.360 when healthy Sammy Watkins to the Los Angeles Rams for 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:56.440 cornerback e j Gaines and a second round pick. Okay, 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.440 and don't don't get it twisted. These picks I think 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.840 are actually kind of important. Sammy Watkins reunites with Robert 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.640 Woods out there in l A. But the Bills were 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.680 not done. They then had a hole at wide receiver. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.200 So what did they do? They traded with the Philadelphia 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.680 Eagles to get wide receiver Jordan Matthews and a third 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.960 round pick for their cornerback Ronald Darby. That makes the 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.360 Philadelphia Eagles secondary and defense, which was already a d 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.400 v O A top five defense, a little bit better. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.240 They were, you know, kind of on the outs with 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.400 Jordan Matthews. A lot of rumors there. So the question 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.880 is who which wide receiver kind of like improve their 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.760 stock the most with all of these trades. And we 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.360 got a poll question up there right now at F 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.800 and T s Y Radio. You could always follow me 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.720 ask me questions at spitting speeds. We've almost got two 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.760 hundred votes already. Whose stock and fantasy football went up here? 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:55.840 Jordan Matthews going from the Eagles to the Bills, Sammy 0:06:55.880 --> 0:07:01.240 Watkins going from the Bills to the ram Or is 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.600 it the Philadelphia Eagles wide out that did not move 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.719 at all? Al Shan Jeffrey, the free agent pickup, who 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:11.000 now may even get more targets. Right now, fifty percent 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.160 of you think that it is al Sean who has 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.000 the best, you know, kind of more potential with the 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.520 moves today. But the biggest news of the day, it 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:25.360 has come down from on High. Cowboys running back Ezekiel 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:30.240 Elliott will be facing a six game suspension for the 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.160 violation of the Personal Conduct Policy. This is something that 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.800 has been investigated for the better part of a year. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.360 This cloud has been hanging over the Cowboys and Zeke Elliott. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.640 He is going to miss six games now, Florio. One 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.560 of the things I've been telling Chris Bavona as we 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.840 previewed the Cowboys earlier in this week, is with or 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.160 without Zeke. The first four opponents that the Cowboys have, 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.960 there's some stout front sevens that they're facing. They open 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.880 with the Giants and my Man snacks Harrison and then 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.360 they go to Denver to face that defense. Week three, 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.440 they have the Arizona Cardinals. Even without Calais Campbell, they 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.360 got a big front seven. And in week four they 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:13.480 have Aaron Donald and the Los Angeles Rams. This could Maine. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.360 The Cowboys offense sputters at the beginning. We're gonna talk 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.880 a little bit more about this Florio in the next segment, 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.880 but I am fading the Dallas Cowboys. They are gazy 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:26.720 to me. All Right, we got a couple of more minutes. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.680 I want to tell you some takeaways I had. Remember 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:33.880 there was seven games in preseason football last night, so 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.679 I think, um, there's a lot of stuff to talk about. Okay, 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:41.559 So here's the biggest takeaway I have. We officially have 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.320 a quarterback controversy in Chicago. All right, and listen. After 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.520 the Houston Texans played on Wednesday, I told you to 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.319 pump the brakes on Deshaun Watson, and I would normally 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.040 say the same thing about what I saw out of 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.360 Mitchell Drabinsky. But here's the thing. I watched that game. 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.160 I watched that game on the NFL network. It didn't 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.200 help that Mike Glennon brew up six literally on the 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.880 first drive to Chris Harris Jr. That doesn't help. But 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:07.920 Drabinsky really showed me something. I Uh, I've been kind 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.400 of making fun of him for a little while because 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.520 of the Mitch and Mitchell and all this stuff. But 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.160 let me tell you something. Eighteen out of hundred and 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.320 sixty six yards one touchdown he had another one where 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.240 through Ruben Randall to like the one yard line. I 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.400 thought initially that he got in, but I'm gonna tell 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.400 you something. It's not really about the results. It's about 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:30.360 the inputs. I saw really solid accuracy out of Mitchell Drabinsky. 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.720 I saw a really solid mobility out of Mitchell Robinsky. 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.560 I saw a kind of command of grown men in 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:42.440 the huddle out of Mitchell Trabinsky. Um, maybe we have 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.240 an issue here and Mike, as you know, I have 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.520 pounded the Bears under five and a half wins hard. 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.880 I'm telling you. Victor Cruz also looked viable, although it 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.800 didn't look like he almost got killed and was down 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:55.880 on the field at one point, but he came back. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.800 You got Ruben Ramdle a lot of former giants there, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.240 so I'm not sure about that. Uh. You know, so 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.760 I think this could be something for the Bears. That's 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:13.440 a big that's a big issue. So that's one thing. 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.920 I got a bunch more takeaways here on the Fantasy 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:21.520 Sports Radio Network with our Sports Byline affiliates. That's what 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.680 I'm saying. So we got some more takeaways. We gotta 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.000 keep it going here. Another game where I looked and 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:31.320 I saw some young quarterbacks was the Philadelphia Green Bay game. 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.959 Carson Wentz looked all right as well. He was perfect 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.679 four for four on a touchdown drive. He also kept 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.160 a play alive, which is really what you need to 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.600 do in the NFL these days, and it's gonna be 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.199 great that he gets to hand the ball off to 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.000 Legarrett Blunt. This guy only had four carries for nine yards, 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.160 but that will definitely help Carson Wentz development. I also 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.160 like for the Eagles, Derek Barnett, their first round pick 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.920 out of Tennessee, got two sacks in the first half. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.360 You add him to a guy like Brandon Graham and 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.160 Fletcher Cox and that makes them Philadelphia Eagles. Out with 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.000 Ronald Darby as well, I'm telling you the Eagles defense 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.199 will be interesting. Also on the Green Bay side of things, 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.559 I gotta tell you something. Time Montgom refumbled. Okay, and 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.240 usually I don't care about things in preseason games. But 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.800 the fact that Time Montgom refumbled, I think only adds 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:19.000 credibility to the fact that Jamal Williams, who me and 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.240 the all in kid Jake Seely nationally acclaimed top rancor 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.760 and guy who was in studio a little bit earlier. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.520 Today we all think Jamal Williams can push Time Montgomery. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.800 Him fumbling is not a good start for that battle. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.160 I get another game. I want to talk about Cleveland, 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.840 New Orleans. DeShawn Kaiser. He looked good as well. I'm 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.840 telling DeShawn Watson looked good. Mitchell Trobisky looked good. DeShawn 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.760 Kaiser also looked good, going eleven for eighteen for a 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.960 hundred eighty four yards a touchdown as well. He was 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.520 throwing the deep ball pretty well. I'm telling you, Hugh 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.040 Jackson wants to kind of mold this piece of clay. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.040 Deshaun Kaiser is going to start games for the Cleveland 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.320 Browns this year. Brock made some decent throws. Brock Oswiler, 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.360 that is who started the game. But he went six 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.160 of fourteen. That's an under fifty percent completion percentage. Okay. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.960 On the New Orleans side of things, Alvin Kamaro four 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.839 carries thirty five yards. I'm telling you Alvin Kamara is 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.200 a back to stash in longer term dynasty leagues. By 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.000 the second half of the season, when they figure out 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.840 that Adrian Peterson can't run from the shotgun, this is 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.280 gonna be Alvin Kamara getting more burned. Okay, the last game, 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.160 because we do have one more minute, real quick, Washington Baltimore. 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.720 I want to talk about this because uh I was 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.040 high on some J. P Ryan. No, no, no, not anymore. 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.200 This guy. He thought it was bad to tie time 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.760 Montgomery fumbled. J p Ryan fumbled. They didn't lose it. 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.760 He fumbled, he dropped the pass, he mits the Blitz 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.560 pick up. I think Rob Kelly is gonna be entrenched 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.200 as the starter in Washington. P Ryan making too many mistakes. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.520 On the Baltimore side of things. Ryan Mallett no looking good. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.680 Another fifty percent completion percentage, three point two yards per attempt. 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.600 Oh boy, do they hope Joe Flacco is back in time? 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.800 But you know who is in mid season form? Justin Tucker, 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.839 who at the end of the first half nailed a 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.760 fifty nine yard field goal. He's in mid season form 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.680 when we come back, I'm gonna chop it up about 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.880 the NFC East when my man Mike Florio, we're gonna 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.280 talk about our diamonds are fo gazes. We're gonna see 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.080 if he can guess what you listeners said on all 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.640 the polls. And also I want to ask him about 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.440 Terrence West in a related note, because I thought he 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.720 had a good game. I've been on team Danny Woodhead. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.360 Maybe I need to hop off and get up on 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.560 the West train. We'll see when we come back.

Here's 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.800 what we're gonna do this segment, Mike, because we've been 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.480 previewing a different team every day here on Fantasy Freestyle 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.080 as we get ready for Fantasy football drafts, and we 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.600 were in the NFC East this week, it is a 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.320 propos that we have the Dallas Cowboys with this news 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.160 of Zeke Elliott. So here's what I want to do, Mike. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.440 I want to tell you first what the over under 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:23.960 for the team is, right, and then I want to 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.680 see if you would go over and under, and I 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.760 want to see if you could guess what our listeners said, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.160 because we do that poll every day. Okay, then I'm 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.680 gonna give you for each team my diamond and the 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.920 rough and my fantasy fool Gazey. Alright, that's the fool Gaze, 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.080 the guy you need to forget about. And we're gonna 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.520 have a little discussion and see if you agree with me, 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.560 see if you think I'm crazy. How does that sound like? 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:47.000 Sounds fantastic. Let's start off with the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, now, 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.640 let it be known that this happened before the news 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.200 of Ezekia Elliott. The over under on their season win 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.960 total is nine and a half. What do you think? 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:57.880 What do you think? And what do you think? The 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.280 people said? Remember this was yesterday, before the news of 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.200 the suspension. So I mean, I kind of wish you 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:04.880 threw money. I know you threw some money on the 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.560 Jets and Bears. I wish you threw someone that I 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.440 would have taken the under. But there's a lot of 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.200 Cowboys fans out there. I bet you a lot of 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.120 listeners voted the over. Okay, uh, thirty percent did take 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.840 the over, but forty five percent took the under on 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.400 the Dallas Cowboys. I think this is a team that 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.760 is primed to regress anyway. That's why my fool gay 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.000 zy for this team is Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott was 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.800 QB six last year with thirty six hundred sixty seven yards, 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:39.040 twenty three touchdowns and four interceptions. Aaron Rodgers had seven interceptions. 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.720 M v P Matt Ryan had seven interceptions. There is 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.720 no way that we don't see some turnover regression. Obviously, 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.800 now with Zeke out also with the Cowboys, may ask 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.480 Dak to win a little bit more on the strength 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.480 of his arm. I don't think that's gonna be the case. 0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:00.200 My man, Corey Parkson, the fantasy executive who we all 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.960 no loves the Cowboys. He has him as QB seven. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.760 I have him all the way down as QB fourteen. 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.440 Where do you feel about Dak Prescott. I'm in your camp. 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.119 I have him around QB fourteen as well. Yeah, okay, 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.320 I don't think there's no way he goes another sixteen 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.800 games only turning the wall over like four or five times. 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.720 I know Corey thinks so, but you know, Corey's uh, 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.119 you know, all sunshine and rainbows and unicorns when it 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:25.959 comes to the Dallas Cowboys. On the flip side, though. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.000 I'll tell you who I do love. I love Dez 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.000 Bryan to have a bounce back yere. I think people 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.000 have forgotten about how much Dez Brian can win you 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.840 a week, how incredible of a red zone target he is, 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.320 how much of a beast he is at the point 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.280 of attack. This is a guy who had almost eight 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:44.160 hundred yards and eight touchdowns and only thirteen games last year. 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.600 I think he's another year removed from all his health issues. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.520 He's my diamond for the Cowboys. I think he's a 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.480 guy that people don't think about anymore. He is my 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:57.040 wide receiver eight overall. You like desser this this year 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.879 I got him at wide receiver eight now too fantastic. 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:06.040 Mike Florio and speeds. The spitting statistician are sympatico. We 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.240 moved next to the NFC East. The next team I 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.200 want to talk to you about is the New York 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.280 Football Giants. Okay, the Giants over under for the season 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:18.640 win total is eight and a half. Where would you go? 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.679 Where do you think the people went? I think the 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.320 people are gonna agree with me. I think that's an 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.040 over I I think the Giants are you know, I 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.760 think they're much They're very dangerous team on both the 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.960 offensive side and the defensive side of the ball. So 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.160 I mean, I think I saw this. I actually voted. 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.080 I voted for the over, and I would like to 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.640 think that the people would as well. Two thirds of 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.680 the people agree with you. Sixty six say take the over. 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.520 I have a huge diamond for this team. Okay, I 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:49.240 think this guy is going far too late. Okay, um 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.920 my man, Corey Parson has this guy as running back 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.480 like fifty six. I don't care if it's a PPR 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:59.600 league or not. I love Shane Verene. This year for 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:03.199 the Giants. They were giving Shane Vereen work on early 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.560 downs in between the tackles before he got hurt last year. 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.400 There's no reason that he can't do the same thing 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.560 that Danny Woodhead does. This is a guy Shane Vereen, 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.680 who last three seasons in a row gets forty five 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.719 fifty catches. This is a guy that Eli Manning can trust. 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:20.919 And the other part of this is I'm telling you 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.480 right now, I don't trust Paul Perkins to have a 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.200 stranglehold on this job. Do you see any path where 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.000 Shane Vereen is actually the Giants running back this year 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.440 from Mike, I don't. I don't see that. I see 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:36.640 him being their past catching back. I think Paul Perkins 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.040 is gonna get the starting job. I think Orleans dark 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.040 quote could be mixed in for short yardage or hopefully 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.200 not but potentially goal on scenarios. I don't. I think 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.400 it's Paul Perkins is the lead back, and if they 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.680 go away from him, I think it becomes a pure committee. 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.960 A pure committee. I still love Shane Vereen catching passes 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.960 in New York. He will get forty five catches at 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:57.879 this year. The other guy, The other question I have 0:19:58.000 --> 0:19:59.440 for you on the New York Giants, and this is 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.600 kind of a phil thelosophical thing. Oldell Beckham is obviously 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.320 a top five, top three wide receiver. My question with 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.439 you is a similar question I would have with Mike Evans. 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:11.160 What is the impact of having a new, legitimate number 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.320 two wide receiver on the other side. Okay, some people 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.879 think that, oh, now you can't roll coverages over to 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.240 old Dell Beckham, right, so it's gonna be a benefit 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.600 to old Dell Beckham. Other people would say, listen, he's 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.040 gonna eat into his targets for a guy like Brandon Marshall, 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.440 especially in the red zone. I think there's similar things 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.280 with DeShawn Jackson's impact on a guy like Mike Evans. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.359 Do you think that having Brandon Marshall in the fold 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.960 looking to get a thousand yards receiving for what would 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.560 be an NFL record fifth different team, do you think 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.520 that helps or hinders Odell Beckham. I think it helps him. 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.720 I mean I could see Oldell Beckham repeating what he 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.600 did last year. I think that maybe the targets drop 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:50.040 a bit, but I, like you said, I think it 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.320 is higher quality targets. And this is something I've spoke 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.159 about before. I think it's funny that the players that 0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.960 we pick out and say, oh, adding someone who's gonna 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:01.080 hurt this guy, and then we say somewhere else like 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.320 A J. Green. We're all loving him because he's never 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.760 had so many you know, weapons around him. But then 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:08.879 Oldell Beckham and we we can make the same argument. 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.040 But no, him and Mike Evans are gonna be hurt 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:13.040 by it. Some people say, I mean, you can make 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:14.920 this case for a lot of the top wide receivers. 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.320 Antonio Brown has Mark Tavis Bryant. You know that he 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.080 didn't have last year, and Levi Onbell we've hardly seen 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.160 them healthy all at the same time, so I think 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.359 you could, honestly you get nitpicky when you try to 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.119 use this argument for against wide receivers. Fair Enough, we 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.600 are not in the defensive meetings in the week leading 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:31.640 up to the game, so we don't know how they're 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.400 gonna treat it. I understand. The next team in the 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.280 NFC East that we got to talk about is the 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:40.080
