Speaker 1: the next hour. But I gotta ask you, how is

00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: the Houston summer treating you here? Tara? We haven't talked

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: in a little bit, and it has been hot and

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: muggy here in h town.

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: It has Luckily for me, I'm not having to go outside.

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm apointing it as much as humanly possible. Would like

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: a little bit of rain, but other than that, I

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: just can't come outside. I can't even sit on my porch, Like,

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: what is this?

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not It is not fun. It is the

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: dog days of the heat right now, and it is

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: the dog days of summer here and all of our

17
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: waiting to get you know, any information here. What has

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: stood out to you through the early days in camp

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: we're getting guys put on NFI's on the pup, things

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: of that nature. What has stood out to you so far?

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: You know? The thing that's set out to me today

22
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: is we're, as I noticed, we started to get those

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: Carolina height videos going that Jonathan Brooks news in terms

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: of hey, you know, he's looking good in training camp

25
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: and whatnot. He's actually in training camp. That's the fantastic

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: news because as you know, as unappealing is as Carolina

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: can be, like, from a greater perspective, the run game

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 2: really does matter there in terms of what that outlook

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: is going to because they want to be run heavy.

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: We have a good discount on both Tuba Hubard and

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: Jonathan Brooks, so someone is going to be good value

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: for us there. So that's what I'm looking forward to

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: here is seeing how long Jonathan gob Brooks can stay healthy,

34
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 2: what kind of role he's going to have, because sounds

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: like they want to get him involved right off the

36
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: bat from a receiving perspective at the very least. So

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see how this plays out.

38
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Jonathan Brooks has been a point of

39
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: contention a little bit with myself and Fitsie and I'm

40
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: the Texas guy and I've just not been as in

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: on Jonathan Brooks as everybody else. And I think it's

42
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: it's probably because I start from the Dynasty perspective. In

43
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: my in my stuff, right, Like, is Jonathan Brooks going

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: to be a long term option for the Panthers. I

45
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: understand that Chewba Hubbard is not exciting this season. He's

46
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: a guy that has carried the workload and I think

47
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: he was hurt very early last year and kind of

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: drug that with him throughout the rest of the season.

49
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: And you know, in the offseason from twenty four to

50
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: twenty five, they extended him. They made him a team captain,

51
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: so they obviously like him. So I feel like they're

52
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: going to give him every opportunity first. But as Tony

53
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Romo taught us a long time ago, the NFL is

54
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: a meritocracy, and if you can't make it work, it

55
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how popular you are and how great of

56
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: a team leader you are. If you're that great of

57
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: a team leader, then go into coaching if you can't play,

58
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, So it is going to be the cream

59
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: that ryans rises to the top, and that might be

60
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Brooks. Here, I was interested to read that Isaiah

61
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: Davis might have the inside track on the number two

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: job with the Jets. Now, how do you sort through

63
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: pandering beat writer or not sense this time of year,

64
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: because look, they're trying to get clicks like everybody else is.

65
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: Is this something that you take with a grain of salt?

66
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: Do you give a lot of these reports credit? You know,

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: because I feel like we can go back to any

68
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: offseason look at the reports and see that it's eighty

69
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: percent nonsense. I feel like most of the time, yeah,

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: I tried.

71
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: In general, I try to assess how reliable the team

72
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: as a whole has been. Like if I look at like,

73
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: let's look at a team like Jacksonville right looking back

74
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: to them in the experience that we had with the

75
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: whole first team versus second team and Tank Bigsby and

76
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: Baseil Tutin and Travis Etn. For it to end up

77
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: just being the expectation of, hey, it's still going to

78
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: be Travis Etn and Tank bigs be getting shipped off.

79
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: We have to be careful about looking at these who's

80
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: getting first team reps and whatnot and really look at

81
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: the actual usage of the guys because a lot of

82
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: times these teams are trying to work things out. So

83
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: just because you see someone running with a certain team

84
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily mean that they've secured a job now for

85
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: the Jets, though it is of interesting because for years now,

86
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: with Aaron Glenn and just in general, we've heard like

87
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: they want to have this three headed monster, right, and

88
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: we've always been trying to identify as there's going to

89
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: be something that we can get on the side here.

90
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: And at the end of the.

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Day's got the same vibes of Kyle Shanahan saying we

92
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: got to get CMC off the field exactly, and.

93
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: It never happens, right, So I don't take too much

94
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: aggressive stock into it. Handcuffs matter at the end of

95
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: the day. But really and truly speaking, probably no one

96
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: else in terms of running backs outside of Breues Hall

97
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: is going to offer us any kind of standalone value here.

98
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm just going to keep throwing questions out to you

99
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: unless anyone out here has you know, if anybody out

100
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: here has got some questions for us, we will answer them,

101
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: throw them in the chat. But I'm I'm going to

102
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: keep asking you questions as we go. Another situation that

103
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: has vexed me is the Washington running backs, and I

104
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: have been it's been tough for me to know what

105
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: to do with these guys, and I got hammered a

106
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: little bit on social media earlier this offseason for saying that,

107
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm just not that into Bill Krossky Merritt, Right, Like,

108
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: I feel like Rashad White is definitely taking the receiving

109
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: downs away from anybody any other running back on this team.

110
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty clear. Right. They've spoken about maybe

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: Kitron Allen taking the Chris Rodriguez role of the goal

112
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: line back. If that's the case, I think JCM could

113
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: be a great receiving back. But not when you ever

114
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: shot White here? Right, And it's not really in his purview,

115
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: you know, at he didn't do it a lot in college.

116
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: I guess I should say, So, what are your thoughts

117
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: on this backfield? Does it still Bill Krosskey Merrit? I

118
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: mean I kind of still expect him to lead in carries.

119
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: I just don't know if that means he'll lead in touches.

120
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: And are you avoiding this? Is there one that you like?

121
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: How how do you flesh out the Washington situation here?

122
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: Well, none of the ADP's are so bad that I

123
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: think that any one of them is going to be

124
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: the worst pick that you've ever made in your life. Right, Like,

125
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: if I get a question from someone tasting, I want

126
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: to take Kitron Allen at the end of drafts, I say,

127
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: go for it, man. I mean, it's not it's not

128
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: going to kill you, right, Something's going to happen there,

129
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: but it The good thing I will say, at least

130
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: with JCM is that at the very least we have

131
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: had acknowledgment that one he clearly knows that he has

132
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: to make that improvement on pass protection and receiving to

133
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: be more reliable in order to have a bigger role

134
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: than this offense. And that is something that he's been

135
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: working on. So again, looking at training camp, we need

136
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: to actually see it in person, right, because you're right,

137
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, we factually know that

138
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: Rashad White is definitely the best blocker and the best

139
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: receiver on that team. The question is is how much

140
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 2: can we get the progress forward from a guy like

141
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: JCM in order to see if he can actually bridge

142
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: the gap and become a three down back there. I

143
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: kind of think it's going to work out as a committee.

144
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: But when I go back and look at Jane daniels

145
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: rookie season, just kind of disregard last season, right because

146
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: he didn't play enough for us to really evaluate. When

147
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: I go back and look at Jane Daniels rookie season, right.

148
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: I kind of do think at the end of the day,

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: we might want to lean towards the early down back

150
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: there because I know the appeal of Rashad White is, Hey,

151
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: the limited pass catchers, right, all we've got is Terry mcluurin.

152
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: We can't trust anybody else, so naturally we're just going

153
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: to see more volume two for Shod White. I don't

154
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: know if that'll necessarily happen, right, he would have to

155
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: kind of line up as a receiver to see that

156
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: natural increase beyond the checkdowns that we saw in Jane

157
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: Daniels worthy season. I think I want the goal line

158
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: back there, So maybe that's the kind of thing like

159
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: we acknowledge for Shod White is the best receiving option there.

160
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: But let's use training camp to kind of nail down.

161
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: Is JCM going to for sure have this goal line back?

162
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: I think that's the argument there. We got to figure

163
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: out what's going on between him and k Tron Allen.

164
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: If you had to pick the the player with the

165
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: second most targets behind Terry McLaurin right now, would you

166
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: pick for Shot or would it be maybe Chicka Konkquo

167
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: or Antonio Williams, or maybe a mister outside higher like

168
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: they would say in the office. Is it maybe Stefan

169
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: Diggs coming into town or someone else that they might sign?

170
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if once I've got zero faith that

171
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: the Brandon I you think is going to be like

172
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: that doesn't seem like yeah, Like no, I agree with you.

173
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: I think if anyone's brought in, it would be Stephan

174
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: Diggs and that would be a nice fit. So I

175
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: hope they do that. But he's got his own things

176
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: that he has to figure out terms of legal issues

177
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: as well, So maybe they're waiting on that one too,

178
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: because I would think that would be the best fit

179
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: for them. But other than that, it is Chig that

180
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: I want. I think he's a fine late round target

181
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: for anyone that wants to, you know, bypass save up

182
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: on value and kind of try the streaming option there.

183
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: Chig obviously was not a massive target hog and by

184
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: any means in Tennessee, but that was more so the

185
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: function of one the offense situation, and obviously pass volume

186
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: being down. I do think that he would have the

187
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: opportunity to step in and have relevance here and looking

188
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: back at previous seasons, Jane Daniels did rely on zach

189
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: Ertz a lot. It doesn't feel like it, right because

190
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: it wasn't as if he was breaking off any runs

191
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: because he's a little bit he was a little bit older, right,

192
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: But say like it was like catch a ball fall.

193
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: But with Chig, I know that he could take that

194
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: pass volume, those sixty plus receptions and turn that into

195
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 2: something after the catch. So I think there's that's the

196
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: area that I would go to is Chig. Maybe obviously

197
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: I would love Antonio Williams, right, but.

198
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: That depend on ru.

199
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like we'll push that one further back in a

200
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: late round stab, I would lean towards cheek being the second. Look.

Speaker 1: of streams and Q and a's going. We got a

208
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: question from jmac here Tara, where are you on Kyle Pitts?

209
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: For years? We held on to hope because of him

210
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: being a generationally gifted athlete at tight end, and kept

211
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: drafting him as a top five tight end even though

212
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: he kept letting us down. Now he's coming off a

213
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: year where we finally saw it and he was the

214
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: tight end two, and yet he is now tight end

215
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: seven in ECRs. So where do you stand currently on

216
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts.

217
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: I love that you asked this question, Jay, because this

218
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: is one of my one of my oddly enough favorite

219
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: things to talk about. I have not invested a ton

220
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: in the past and Kyle Pitts, so I missed all

221
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 2: that drama because I always thought he was overpriced. Now

222
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: we get the ADP a little bit back further and

223
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: he's actually my tight end six, which is not a

224
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: big discrepancy there, but oddly enough, for all the hate

225
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: in the world that I have for Kevin Stefanski and

226
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: the debacles in Cleveland, I trust him very much so

227
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: to target titands. Like all throughout his tenure in Cleveland,

228
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: it wasn't just with Harold Fann and Junior, it was

229
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: with anyone in everyone. You were seeing targets go to

230
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 2: tight ends at a thirty percent clip. There so I

231
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: have the utmost confidence that he will have one hundred

232
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: plus targets this year. Like that's a very strong baseline.

233
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: We have no strong secondary wide receiver the past catchers

234
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: or London, Beijon and Kyle Pitts from that perspective, so

235
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: I think we're going to see good volume, right and

236
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 2: you know, honestly to a tug of LOWO. Potentially we'll

237
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: see you know, right here at quarterback. Probably benefits Kyle

238
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: Pits a little bit more there because we kind of

239
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: saw that transition from Kyle Pitts later in the season

240
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: once we saw Kirk Cousins come in is a more

241
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: tight end friendly option. So I think TUA might actually

242
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: fit a little bit better for Kyle Pits compared to

243
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: Drake London, So I like him a lot. It gets

244
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: pushed further back because when we're looking at tight ends

245
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: as a whole, basically everyone with the exception of Tucker Craft,

246
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 2: who I do like, right, but it's just the lower

247
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: pass volume offense and they like to spread the ball around.

248
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: Every one of those guys has one hundred plus target upside.

249
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: So that's why I push back because we're kind of

250
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: deep at those higher end level tight ends.

251
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, let me ask you, how do you tier

252
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: your tight ends? Because I'm looking currently and we have

253
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: the first tier is Bowers, McBride, Loveland Warren and the

254
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: next tier is Craft fannin pits. Do you break your

255
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: tears up differently? Because I do, But I would like

256
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: to hear yours first.

257
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I want to hear yours because mine's

258
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: slightly different, not dramatic, right, but I do think that

259
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: Rock Bowers and Trey McBride are at a one a

260
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: tier of their own. I like to separate them out

261
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: just because we know that there is a locked in,

262
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 2: guaranteed volume that those guys are getting on real there

263
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: we go. I know we have our offensive concerns for

264
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: Arizona in general, and how long Jacoby Brissette will be

265
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: allowed to start as they're going to be at a

266
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: tailspin downward. Thank you, like thank you, Jacoby, come out

267
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 2: there and do the right thing for us from a

268
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: fantasy perspective. But after those two, then for me, you know,

269
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: Colson Lovelin and Tyler Warren are the other guys that

270
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: I trust in that little mini tier. After that, and

271
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: then my tier two cuts off at I I have

272
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: it flipped Harold Fan and Junior and Kyle Pits. But

273
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: my tier two would cut off theoretically there at the

274
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: combination of Harold Fan and Junior and Coyle Pits.

275
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: So you'd have Laporta in the next one. Yeah, that's

276
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: that's pretty close to what I have. I've got Bowers

277
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: and McBride by themselves. I have Loveland in a tier

278
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: of his own, right. I just have quarterback concerns for

279
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren. Then four, five, six, seven, I go Tucker Craft.

280
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: I just I think he'll be back for week one

281
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: and good, we'll see. You know, that's a little wish

282
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: casting on my part. I understand that. Then I have

283
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren, Harold Fannon, and then Kyle Pitts, so I

284
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: do have Fannin and Pitts in the same order. But

285
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: I also push Laporta down. You know, he's played nine games.

286
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: Last year, we saw Jamison take off a little bit,

287
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit of injury stuff, not really that.

288
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: The back injury is not one that you particularly like

289
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: for any player in the NFL, so that's a little scary,

290
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: but I don't it's not that it's more about Jamison

291
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Williams and Amanra Saint Brown is gonna get his Gibbs

292
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: is gonna get his right, It's just where is he

293
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: in the pecking order? Is he still at that elite level?

294
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 2: Right?

295
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, that's interesting that we're pretty close there.

296
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: I like that. Let's see Enrica Enrico, what up? What

297
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: is your very early Rookie of the year prediction? So

298
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: if you had to pick a Rookie of the year, Tara,

299
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: where are you going there?

300
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: Yeah? I've done that recently. Actually, I think I'm taking

301
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 2: Colonel Tate there. I like the value on him. He's

302
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: third in odds, and basically when we're looking at Jeremiah Love,

303
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: he's in the Ashon genty situation right in terms of

304
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: uphill battle. From a team perspective, volume might be a

305
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: little bit inconsistent, so he kind of has that same

306
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: similar knock that could happen with him that Love got.

307
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: Then Fernanda Mendoza is at the whim of whether or

308
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: not he will get the opportunity to start early enough

309
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: to be able to be in contention for that, and

310
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: then Carnel Tate for me is interesting because while it's

311
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: not the ideal team situation. I think it's very similar

312
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: to Teto McMillan, and he can have the exact same

313
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: path to the same way McMillan did. So you come

314
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: in your wide receiver one and yeah, there's talent. There's

315
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: talent on the team. Obviously, Wandel Robinson there, garnering targets.

316
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: I love the young guys. Hopefully they get more opportunities

317
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: than Calvin Ridley and we just pushed that one out

318
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: of the way right. Let our young boys take over there.

319
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, Kim Ward at the end of last season

320
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: and the back half look very impressive. In my opinion,

321
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to see you. I want more volume, but

322
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: what I saw out of him in terms of command

323
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: of the offense, there's not going to be a massive leap,

324
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: but enough to get Carnel Tate into the same kind

325
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: of category as Ted Aroo McMillan. Yeah, that's my that's

326
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: my prediction there for him.

327
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: Looking at hard Rock, Carnel Tate is plus six hundred,

328
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: so that's paying you six to one, So I like

329
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: that pick. He's the third shortest odds. Jeremiah Love is

330
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: first of plus three fifty. I mean, just the guy

331
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: that you're going to have to give volume two. By

332
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: the way, poor Tyler oltch here, Yeah, poor poor Tyler Alchire.

333
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you sign a contract to go to the

334
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals thinking you're gonna take this job over, like James

335
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: Connor is old, he's probably getting cut, and then Trey

336
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: Benson hasn't worked out, it's going to be my job,

337
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: and then they draft heir my Love and they restructure

338
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: James Connor to bring him back, and Trey Benson is

339
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: on this. How does one of these guys not get

340
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: traded or cut? Yea, I think Connaway get cut before

341
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: the year, but I think Carnel Tate's such a good

342
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: pick that's probably the right one. I also like Jenerium

343
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: price at plus eight hundred. You know sharbon A tearing

344
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: his knee so late into the season, and this is

345
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: writing notes for a Dynasty show. I'm gonna do with worm.

346
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: It's so funny because I have so many players that

347
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: I have a lower rank for in twenty twenty six,

348
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: so I'm lower than ECR is on them in twenty

349
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: twenty six, But in Dynasty, I have a higher ECR

350
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: than a lot of people, and sharbon A is one

351
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: of those guys. I don't think he comes back until Thanksgiving.

352
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: I think the earliest he could make it back is

353
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: probably Halloween. So if he is coming back between, let's

354
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: just call it the middle of November, right, so more

355
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: than halfway through the season. I think they're also, if

356
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: they're in a position for the playoffs at all, they're

357
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: probably going to baby him, right. I think Jenderian Price

358
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: is a way better running back than Emmanuel Wilson. I

359
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: think he's a way better running back than George Hallani.

360
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: And I think those guys are better than advertised for

361
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: most cases. But Jerim Price at plus eight hundred and

362
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: then a long long shot. Carson Beck might sort a

363
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: bunch of games for the Cardinals and they.

364
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: Do have.

365
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: I kind of hope he does plus three thousand. I

366
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: mean that's thirty to one. But look at it's not

367
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: so much about Carson Beck. But look at what Carson

368
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: Beck did with talent at Miami, right, Like, he took

369
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: them all the way to the National Title Game, and

370
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: it was just don't throw interceptions, don't make mistakes, don't

371
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: make those big boneheaded moves you're making at Georgia at Miami,

372
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: And that's what he did, and he got them all

373
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: the way to the Natty. Now, of course it ended

374
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: on a pick that he threw, but they were in

375
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: desperate mode at that point, so I don't necessarily blame

376
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: him for that. But you know, with Brissette holding out

377
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: and not being really happy, little floating bet on Carson

378
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: Beck at thirty to one is not bad. The rest

379
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: of these down here, Makaya Lemon is plus one thousand,

380
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Tyson is plus six fifty, Mkaya Lemons plus one thousand,

381
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: and then there's a bunch more three thousands, Denzel Boston,

382
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: Casey Concepcion, and Omar Cooper all in the plus three thousand,

383
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: and in the five thousands we have Coleman, Singleton, Brassels,

384
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 1: Sarat guys that aren't you know, that's almost lighting your

385
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: money on fire betting on those guys down there. So

386
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: let me ask you about the Browns wide receiver situation

387
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: here With the Browns, you know, obviously, and this is

388
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: what I think, This is probably why you have Pits

389
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: ahead of fannin correct, is because they drafted Concepcion, they

390
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: drafted Denzel Boston, and we don't know who the quarterback

391
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: is going to be as of right now, I assume

392
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be Watson's to start, but I also

393
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: think Watson sucks at this point, so I think it's

394
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: gonna be Shador Sanders for probably twelve ten games, somewhere

395
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: in that neighbor How are you are you? Are you

396
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: drafting any of these targets, like, obviously not Fannin since

397
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: you have Pits ahead of him, you'd rather take Pits.

398
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: But what about Boston or Concepcion. Are you taking a

399
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: shot on those guys? Are you leaving the Cleveland situation

400
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: alone because it's the bad quarterback situation, bad offense situation.

401
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm taking more Browns than I would like. No,

402
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm okay with it. Look, I'm all right

403
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: with it. And for what it's worth, I don't mind

404
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: tigging Harold fan and Junior. I think he's in that tier.

405
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 2: He's just you know, col Pits before him for me.

406
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: But the Adyps, because we are fully aware that this

407
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: is a sketchy situation, are perfectly fine for both Casey

408
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: Conceptsio and Denzel Boston. So I have at the end

409
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: of drafts, I am snatching one because there tends to

410
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: be a little gap, even though it doesn't really show

411
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: right in terms of ADP, there's not a giant gap

412
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: between CONCEPTSIO and Boston. But for some reason, like people are,

413
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: you know, willing to draft a little bit higher to

414
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: get CONCEPTSIO because of the potential, Like because when you

415
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: look at it realistically, here you want the one that

416
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: would potentially have the most volume and just in terms

417
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: of where he would play on the field, probably more

418
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: consistency in general volume compared to a Boston in terms

419
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: of where he would line up on the field. So

420
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 2: I get that for sure. So I've been taking more

421
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: Boston just because you can do it a little bit later.

422
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: But I think both are perfectly fine because at the

423
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: end of the day, one hundred percent, we know that

424
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: we have Harold Fanner Junior. And then from a receiver's perspective,

425
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: I do think we're going to end up seeing both

426
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 2: of these guys push Jery Judy out of the way,

427
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 2: and he's still there. He's not going anywhere. He physically

428
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: can't go anywhere because of that contract. There's zero point, right,

429
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: but both of them can outplay him, right, and yes

430
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: they're rookies, but at the end of the day, both

431
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: of them can out play them. I'm hoping that we

432
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: get some kind of more competent quarterback play here because

433
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 2: of the fact that Todd Monkin is a quarterbacks guy,

434
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: so at the very least I know compared to Kevin

435
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 2: Stefanski that he can get the most out of these guys.

436
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: In general, what the most is from me, either to

437
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: Tom Watson or Shuder That is the mystery here. But

438
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 2: theoretically we should be fine here. And again, this is

439
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: still going to be a situation where I do think

440
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: they're going to lean on the run because the defense,

441
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 2: even without Miles Garrett, is still going to be dr

442
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: versus perfectly. He's great, right, So this defense is still

443
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: going to be strong and keep games relatively close here,

444
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: so they'll there won't be giant runaways playing massively from

445
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: behind situations, is what I'm kind of thinking there.

446
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: Before we move on here, if you have players you want,

447
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: you need to know whether your league will let them fall.

448

00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: wait or need to move early. Go to fantasypros dot

00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: Are you with this Brown Terra? Are you in or

455
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: out on Shador? Are you do you think he can

456
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: do something? Or do you think the Browns a gonna

457
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: be drafting a quarterback in this good class in twenty

458
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven.

459
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 2: I think they're probably going to be drafting I'm trying

460
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: to hold faith in him, right, but at the end

461
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: of the day, we didn't know that generational wasn't probably

462
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: in the realm of outcomes here. So when that's the

463
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: case and you've got a team that is trying to

464
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 2: move forward and make a dramatic shift and they know

465
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: that that's the key position, yeah, they're probably going to

466
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: take a stab at somebody else in the draft.

467
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: So Travis Hunter kind of brought up Shador's value you

468
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: think a little bit?

469
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, possibly there, And I still think that the draft

470
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: capital was it should have been more than what it was, right,

471
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: you know, shout out to Tyler Shuck for proven us

472
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: all wrong, well well.

473
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: For now right, yeah, yeah.

474
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: For proven us all wrong on that, but it should

475
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: have been it should have been higher. But at the

476
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 2: end of the day, I mean, just because you are

477
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: a high end van. I mean, look at JJ McCarthy, right,

478
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: just because you were a high end pick, you could

479
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: be a top ten pick, a top fifteen pick doesn't

480
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: really matter if the team feels they have a better

481
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: opportunity to move on to literally anybody else, and even

482
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: a retread, you know, veteran quarterback, you know they will do.

483
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: So loyalty is not that deep.

484
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Travis Hunter for a second here, and

485
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: let's just talk about the Jaguars offense overall. Now, I

486
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: have been avoiding the Jaguars like the plague unless your

487
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: name is Trevor Lawrence, right Like, in a super flex league,

488
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: I'll take Trevor Lawrence. But I don't like the running

489
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: back situation. Tara Tuton is not He's not my guy.

490
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that he is a long term option

491
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: as a primary ball carrier. I think he's a nice

492
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: secondary guy and he'll be giving the chances here and

493
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: I expect him. I have more confidence in him than

494
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: Bill crossky Merritt, right, Like, I have way more confidence

495
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: than Tuton in that situation. But so the wide receiver

496
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: situation is weird because we watched them draft two major

497
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: tight ends with their very few picks in this draft.

498
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: They went out and got the blocker in Borkashire and

499
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 1: they got a goal line guy in Tanner Kozyall, who

500
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, could be playing basketball, six foot eight or

501
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: nine or whatever. He is. He's enormous h Town product.

502
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: So love Tanner cozy'all love watching him play. He's a

503
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Slow, but like slow compared to other

504
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: tight ends, not slow for his size in frame, he

505
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: is fast, kind of like Darnett Washington, my guy Mount Washington.

506
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: But so it looks like they're gonna run thirteen personnel

507
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: more copycat league. The Rams ranted about thirty three percent

508
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: last season scored a ton of touchdowns out of thirteen personnel.

509
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: So I think we're going to see that Brian Thomas

510
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: Junior is expected to be the wide receiver in that

511
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: thirteen personnel, which hurts Jacoby Myers, which hurts Parker Washington,

512
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: who is a darling in the fantasy community and should be.

513
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: But is there going to be enough opportunity for Washington,

514
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: for Myners and even maybe BTJ And if so, what

515
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: is going on with Travis Hunter at all. He might

516
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: be the best receiver on this team, honestly, like he

517
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: might be, but we wouldn't know because he's gonna play

518
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: primary corner. So what are your thoughts on Jacksonville's offense overall?

519
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: Are you drafting them? Are you avoiding them? Is there

520
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: anybody you like here?

521
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's tackle the wide receivers first and then the

522
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: running backs wide receivers. Now the Titans things is very interesting, right,

523
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: but to what degree they will make that shift when

524
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: I don't feel like it was super broken last year

525
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: in terms of like when we saw the back half

526
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: of the season. Now, granted there were some easier games

527
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: in the back half of the season for the Jags, right,

528
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: but there were still some tougher matchups where they showed

529
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: extremely well, like against Timber Looking at the back half

530
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: of the season and the alignment that they had of

531
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: Myers and Brian tom Jenier on the outside with Parker

532
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 2: Washington and the slot was really effective like over that

533
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 2: time period. And granted we had an uptick in a

534
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 2: rushing volume from Trevor Lawrence. He was QB one in

535
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: the back half of the season overall, so he was

536
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: fantastic so I don't know that there's so much broken

537
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: that they need to make major adjustments. But I feel

538
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: like the alignment is very straightforward when it comes to

539
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: those three receivers, right, And then perhaps we do see

540
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 2: a decreased in snap count in general if they're trying

541
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: to bring those Titans along more. But when I look

542
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: at it, I don't mind all of them right in

543
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: terms of at the very least we're all on the

544
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 2: same page as the fact that these are all flex options, right.

545
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: These are not guys that you were drafting to be.

546
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: You're definitely not wide receiver one, not even your wide

547
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: receiver two. These are flex options that you're hoping will

548
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: have high upside with the potential bounce back there of

549
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior, which you know is very possible. But

550
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the way that Lamb

551
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: Cohen was operating last season, you know that there's not

552
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 2: going to be one giant, massive target hawk in the

553
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: offense because he's shifting targets according to the defenses that

554
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: he's facing. So they're all viable at any given point

555
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 2: in time. I think it's worth it to take a stab.

556
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: I do personally like Parker Washington. The only caveat there

557
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: is that again we do have to Jacksonville is being

558
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: like so evasive in terms of confirming where this man

559
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: is going to play here. They were refusing to say

560
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: that it is going to be exclusively defense, right and

561
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: that we will get continue to see him on offense

562
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: because they made the investment for him to play both ways.

563
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 2: We'll see on that one, and obviously his presence would

564
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 2: specifically affect you know, Parker Washington the most there. So

565
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: that's kind of the one that I'm kind of keying

566
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: and on is that hopefully we see this shift more

567
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: on defense. But I still think he's going to be

568
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: involved in a gimmicky way. But my gut tells me

569
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: that again we're going to see more Parker Washington than

570
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: him on offense.

571
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: Now we should. I mean, you know, a four wide,

572
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: you get Travis Hunter out there, that's probably what it

573
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: is for now. Maybe injuries, if the corners are good

574
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: and some of the wide receivers go down, maybe he

575
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: gets more involved that way. I just always thought of

576
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, con as the ECW guy, right, like the

577
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: guy that wants to sell jerseys. He wants a big name.

578
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: So I figured they would put him on offense, but

579
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen has kind of made it, you know, be

580
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: a defensive guy, and he is probably he has the

581
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: chops to be one of the premier corners in the league. Right,

582
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: So that's hard to find. It's hard to draft, it's

583
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: hard to know. So I would I would probably do

584
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: the same if I was him, But I thought with

585
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: their owner that maybe he would be selling jerseys. What

586
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: about the running backs here? Do you like any of them?

587
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: Or are we avoiding these like the plague.

588
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: I am a baseial Tutan, I'm a bachil Tuton girl.

589
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: But I look at it from this perspective is that

590
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: I feel like the running back room is not super

591
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: confusing as to what everybody can do. Right. We know

592
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: Chris Rodriguez an early down and goal line guy. He

593
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: does not have the capabilities to be a three down back.

594
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: We know that Laquinn Allen Junior was definitely utilized from

595
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: a third down perspective. Good blocker if he could potentially

596
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: be the third down back for sure, but three down

597
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: back in that offense when we know that, you know

598
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: last year Bachiltuton had the preference on the ground over him.

599
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: We know that for sure right. So the question we

600
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: have is that are we going to get Bachel Tuton

601
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: bridging the gap here? Is he trusted enough on third

602
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: downs and from a receiving perspective to be able to

603
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: handle that. I kind of feel like the connection in

604
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 2: general of Chris Rodriguez to Liam Cohen in college is

605
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: kind of overblown a little bit. I feel like sometimes

606
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: we overblow these previous connections, right as if as if

607
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: Bachel Tuton wasn't the guy that he drafted last year somehow, right, Yeah, yeah, somehow,

608
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: somehow that college we arguably we don't even know if

609
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: the man recruited him for that, for that one single

610
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: year that we were together. Somehow that takes preference over

611
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: the guy that he drafted last year and showed an

612
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: odd amount of trust in. Because when you look at

613
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: the overall numbers, like Travis etn was the lead back,

614
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: but we had a lot of usage of Basil Tuton

615
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: in the red zone specifically and at the goal line.

616
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: The man had four touchdowns inside the five and two

617
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: on the ground and then two receiving touchdowns inside the five.

618
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: That's a lot of usage for a backup running back rookie.

619
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: So to say that yeah. For Chris Rodriguez was excellent

620
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 2: at the goal line last year. But to say that

621
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: there is this automatic situation of he's just there's no

622
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 2: way that Basil Tuton could take preference at the goal

623
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: line over him. I don't think that's the case here.

624
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of ambiguity in it. But the

625
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: only one that could actually have three down back opportunity

626
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: in this offense would be Basil Tutans. So if you're

627
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: going to pick one head, your bets on that, right,

628
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 2: but recognize that you are taking a risk that he

629
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: could be element, which is fine, right, You're drafting him

630
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: as a RB three flex option. Don't invest in him

631
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: until we know for sure that he would be the starter.

632
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: Don't invest that like like I want him in my

633
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: starting lineup as my RB two or even my RB one.

634
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: Don't go zero RB with that until we get a guarantee.

635
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: Amen, Yeah, don't Yeah, yeah, Tootin is your flex option

636
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: or your first running back off the bench. He is

637
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: not a top two back, So I think that is

638
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: just important to state here. We got a question from

639
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: our friend O Van Rodd. Hey, Van Rod Van wants

640
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: to know rank these rbs in order of which you

641
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: draft them Hampton, Skataboo, Love and Travion Henderson. Do you

642
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: have your order on those backs? Quickly?

643
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: I do quickly. It is Hampton, Love, Skataboo in Henderson

644
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: with the caveat that nine times out of ten, I

645
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: am going to skip over Love and just draft Kataboo

646
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: on that one.

647
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: I was just saying quickly because I had my rody

648
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: go Henderson or excuse me Henderson Hampton for me. I

649
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: have Hampton at ten, I have Love at fourteen, then

650
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: I have Henderson at twenty, and I have Scataboo at

651
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty three. So that is where I have them all,

652
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean Hampton's and RB one and the

653
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: other are RB two's. So I think that is the

654
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: important distinction to make from Van Rod's question here, how

655
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: high are you on Hampton? Is he? Is he an

656
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: RB one tou borderline? How confident are you and him

657
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: after you know, as a rookie missing a handful of

658
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: games here?

659
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel good about it. I won't hold the

660
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: injury against them. You need to give me repeated seasons

661
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: of injury issues for me to say hold up weight.

662
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: I think there's a problem we need to discount here

663
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: with early round running backs. The I mean, obviously Gibbs

664
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: and Bijon are there, you know, all separate little tier there,

665
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: but everyone between JT and Christian McCaffrey and Derek Henry,

666
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: with Hampton being towards the end of that, I think

667
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: they're all viable options for you to grab as your

668
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: RB one and feel good about it. Right. You know,

669
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: last year there was obviously a little more Commodi Vidal

670
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: than we would have liked to see, right But at

671
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: the end of the day, the transformation that this offense

672
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: is going to have in terms of being healthier with

673
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: the offensive line, they made adjustments, not just the healthy

674
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: ones they're getting back, they made additions and adjustments as well.

675
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 2: So we're going to see a much different, much more confident,

676
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: original offensive line that we thought we were getting at

677
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: the beginning of last season, and the change in offensive

678
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: scheme here going to probably provide more goal line opportunities

679
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: as well. The only concern I would have that kind

680
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: of pushes them back a little bit further is how

681
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 2: much passing work do we get shifted over to Kate

682
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: and Mitchell. But at the end of the day, like

683
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: I consider Hampton a general three down back there with

684
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: obviously some change of pace working in, so I do

685
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: trust him as a clear RB one.

686
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been talking about how I like Videll more

687
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: than I like Keaton Mitchell, but who cares well. Hampton

688
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: is the guy. Hampton is a three down back. He

689
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: is going to end up being one of those guys where,

690
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, just like Christian McCaffrey and Gibbs an a

691
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: Chan and these dudes where you hear the coach say, yeah,

692
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: we probably need to take some carries away from him,

693
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: and then nothing happens. Because most NFL games are close, right,

694
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: most NFL games going in the fourth quarter within one score,

695
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: so uh, you know, you have to play your best

696
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: players in those scenarios, and o'murray and Hampton is way

697
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: better than Mitchell or Videll, way more complete. Back, we

698
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: did have another question, and by the way, we got

699
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: some new followers. J Mack, Thank you J Mack and

700
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: kJ also thank you kJ. But J Mack asked, how

701
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: many rbs are there this year that you would be

702
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: comfortable with as you're number one in a hero RB strategy.

703
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: What is your thought there, Tara?

704
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: Theoretically thirteen I say that with the caveat that I

705
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 2: am struggling to really trust take taking Christian McCaffrey just

706
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 2: because I do think that the odds are favoring him

707
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: not making it through the season. But at the end

708
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: of the day, he's a clear RB one. But for me,

709
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 2: it's you know, the jump down for me is obviously

710
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 2: the top guys, and then you know, it's Saquan Hampton Henry,

711
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: and then I include Josh Jacobs and someone that I

712
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: am trusting as my RB one and a hero strategy

713
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 2: just because obviously the legal issues and whatnot, but we've

714
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 2: seen enough times that this close to the season, if

715
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: there is a legal issue, nine times out of ten,

716
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 2: any potential suspension is going to get pushed to the

717
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: next season. So for twenty twenty six, because we haven't

718
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: had any you know, specific charges or anything like that,

719
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: like operate as though more than likely the man is

720
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: going to play the season here and if there were

721
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: no legal issues, he would be a top twelve back

722
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 2: for me. So I'm comfortable with all of those as

723
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 2: my hero RB strategy and I prefer hero RB and

724
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 2: quite frankly, I mean this year, the level of depth

725
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 2: that we have at high end, elite options. The fact

726
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 2: that you can turn around in like an early third

727
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 2: round potentially get a Derek Henry is kind of crazy there.

728
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: So we're I think we're blessed in terms of operating

729
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 2: with a hero strategy this season. So I'm very comfortable

730
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 2: down thirteen guys.

731
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, it is. You know, there is more depth

732
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: to running back than there traditionally has been, and I

733
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: feel like next year we may hit a really nice

734
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: glut of it too, with some of the incoming RBS

735
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: potentially from the draft, So we are in a good spot.

736
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of moving and shaking in

737
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: the free agent market as well. Next year. It looks

738
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: like unless you know they're I think they're Chase Brown

739
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: and JT both haven't got extensions yet. I think they're

740
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: the two that we're waiting on. But yeah, there's gonna

741
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: be There's some nice RB depth this year, so I

742
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: like it as well. We got another question from JBO

743
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: which round should I be picking a QB and a

744
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: tight end? Do you have a strong feeling on where

745
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: you'd like to select GQB and tight end this year?

746
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: You know, if I'm if I'm picking a preference in

747
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: terms of, you know, because I don't like to go

748
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: both early on because I feel like that hamstrings too,

749
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 2: especially because again we have a lot of question marks.

750
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 2: Once we get past like RB twenty or so, we

751
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: start looking a little shaky in terms of guys that

752
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: we can trust and you know, wide receivers. Obviously we've

753
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: got some you know, a good depth, but there again

754
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 2: or some question marks. I don't like to hamstering myself

755
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: in terms of taking two quarter quarterback and a tight end.

756
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: I want to pick and choose one versus the other.

757
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: So if I'm going to take an early round option

758
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 2: or a mid round option, my choice is going to

759
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 2: be tight end. We talked about the tight end tiers,

760
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: like you know, cutting off and saying like hey, Kyle

761
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: Pitts and on up right there with those seven we

762
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: feel good about them, and just taking whichever one ends

763
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 2: up being the best value for you. Maybe you try

764
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 2: and push it back a little and get a little

765
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: bit risky pushing towards the back of the tier. But really,

766
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 2: for me, that is kind of more of my comfort

767
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 2: area in terms of saying okay, like by round seven

768
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: or so, maybe taking a tight end makes a lot

769
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: of sense there, and then I'm pushing quarterback back, to

770
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: be honest, because I don't think it's one hundred percent

771
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 2: necessary with the level of depth. And also that's another

772
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 2: one in particular, just in general, which strategy with quarterback.

773
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: I do tend to play it more according to the

774
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,959
Speaker 2: way that my league is drafting. Right, If you have

775
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: your league mates are all leaning in and taking quarterbacks

776
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: pretty quickly, and you see a quarterback running going on

777
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 2: pretty quickly, and you're like, there goes Lamar, there goes

778
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 2: Drake May, there goes Jane Daniels. Right, you're seeing that rapid.

779
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: Maybe you play like a little ying to the yang

780
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: there and you don't jump on the end of a

781
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: quarterback run, and you push it back a little bit

782
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: to try and invest in those other positions and get

783
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 2: the edge there. So I'm okay with pushing quarterback back

784
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: to the double digit rounds this year because we've got

785
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: the ability right to make it push back a little

786
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: bit further with saying like, hey, there are guys like

787
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. If you're okay with risking the injuries Matt Stafford, right,

788
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 2: that pushes it back a little bit further.

789
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: If you want to go back them together.

790
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, take them together, right, you can pare them up.

791
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: Derek Goff has a lot of nice dome games towards

792
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: the back half of the season as well. So there's

793
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: a lot of flexibility in terms of a lot of

794
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 2: high upside, stable quarterback options. So invest in a lot

795
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 2: of the elite talent earlier and then I'm pushing quarterback

796
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 2: back to double digit rounds. Now, if everyone is pushing

797
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: it back and you see an opportunity to jump in

798
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: and grab Justin Herbert at value right, by all means,

799
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 2: go ahead and do it. Just offer yourself that flexibility.

800
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I couldn't agree more. You know, it

801
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: is tight end with a bullet for me if it's

802
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 1: one QB league obviously, but you know, I love getting

803
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: a high end quarterback if I can. They're very dependable.

804
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 1: They give you a nice bump from week to week.

805
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: But like Tac Prescott, Jackson Dart, there's so much up.

806
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: We talked about Trevor Lawrence, you know what I mean.

807
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: These are guys going nine to ten to eleven, you

808
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: know at quarterback and tight end. Like you said, we

809
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: were talking about the positions, the drop off is real

810
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: at tight end, probably after Sam Laporta, right like, and

811
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: don't we don't particularly trust Sam Laporta as much as

812
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: other people do, so for us, it's like seven tight ends,

813
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: which is still you can get a good one kind

814
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: of cheap, but that back end the bottom falls out

815
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: because we like Sam Laporta. But there's questions. Mark Andrews

816
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: had a down year, but no likely also likely going

817
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: to the Giants. Who's the number two in New York?

818
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: Right like, there's a big question there. There's an upside there,

819
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: and then the old guys Kittle's coming off of major

820
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: injury in his achilles. Kelsey is gonna you know, have

821
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: gimpy mahomes for a little bit at least probably, and

822
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: then it's it's Chicka cong Wo good enough to be

823
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: a number two? Is dalon kin k are gonna get

824
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: more than fifty percent of the snaps in any damn

825
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: games this year? You know, Jake Ferguson is now way

826
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: buried in the pecking order because Javonte was good because

827
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: pickings surged, and Ceedee Lamb is gonna be healthy this year.

828
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: So to me, it's easy tight end over quarterback. Jabo

829
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 1: also asks I want two wide receivers, two running backs

830
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: by four rounds. What should I aim four round five

831
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: and six? What are your thoughts there, Tara?

832
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 2: It depends because round five or six you could still

833
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: have one of those top twenty backs in there. It's

834
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 2: possible at round five or so you could get around

835
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 2: the tight end twenty to twenty two range, so you

836
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 2: could possibly go ahead and take a third. I'm not

837
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 2: a post to that, but I would also be okay

838
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 2: with again, like we were saying, going tighten, seeing what

839
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: you have there, if you can get one of those

840
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 2: top seven options, or seeing what value you have at

841
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: wide receiver. Wide receiver is really the one that's a

842
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 2: little bit flexible there, because it just depends on if

843
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: you have a guy in that range that gives you

844
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 2: a high end option and also your league signings. Right,

845
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 2: you know how many starting wide receivers are there, how

846
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: many flex options there are. If you're in one of

847
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: those leagues where you have two flex options, maybe you

848
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 2: go wide receiver there and try and.

849
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: Stack up on that, especially if it's PPR. Yeah, I'm

850
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: with you, and you know you just see see if

851
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: one of those quarterbacks fell, see if one of those

852
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: tight ends felt so it's just a deal, you know

853
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: what I mean. If that's the case, then maybe I

854
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 1: pivot there. But yeah, it's adding depth for the most part.

855
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: Before we move on here, let me tell you guys

864
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,919
Speaker 1: and I did one just a couple of days ago.

865
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: They are a lot of fun. We get to answer

866
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: a lot of good questions Dynasty. I think those are

867
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: both Dynasty streams as well, so a lot of Dynasty

868
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: questions getting answered over there. I want to pick your

869
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: brain on a couple other scenarios here, Tara, the running

870
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: back in Pittsburgh. Do you have a preference are you avoiding?

871
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: Which way are you going there?

872
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: The way that I think it's going to work out

873
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: theoretically is that I think we're going to one thing.

874
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 2: So one caveat here is that we do need to

875
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: recognize that the receptions to the running back are probably

876
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 2: going to come down. That was the result of Aaron

877
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: Rodgers checking down because he hated every receiver not named

878
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 2: DK metcalf right because they were reliable. If you if

879
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: you burn him, he's not going to throw to you.

880
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: With Michael Pittman added, there' heey so many positive things

881
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 2: about Jeremy Bernard as well. I think we're going to

882
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 2: see more of those perceptions go to those guys over

883
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: the middle, right, So just keep that in mind that

884
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: if we're thinking that the way that this is going

885
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 2: to work out would be Reco Daltal with the early

886
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 2: down and goal line work and then Jalen Mourim with

887
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 2: a third down in receptions, just recognize those receptions are

888
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 2: probably going to come down a little bit. So, as

889
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: of right now, if we I think it'll work out

890
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: with Rico being the early down back and so that

891
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: would be my lead on that one, but again we

892
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 2: just got to double check on that one. So as

893
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 2: of right now, I do think it'll end up being Rico,

894
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: but training camp is going to be the whole flexible situation.

895
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: Right, sounds like you're not drafting either.

896
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 2: No, I haven't taken a single one.

897
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: You know what if you can't, if you don't know,

898
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: I don't hate that as a strategy, though, Just let

899
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: it be somebody else's issue. I'm a Steelers fan. I'm

900
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: in on Jalen Warren. I feel like every time we

901
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: doubt Jalen Warren, he wins this job. Right. He pushed

902
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: Nause out. They're bringing Caleb Johnson to push him out. Nope,

903
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell had more traction than Caleb Johnson. So I

904
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: just I think it is probably Jalen Warren and just

905
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: all the efficiency metrics. I don't know whether you consider

906
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: is the Steelers offense from twenty twenty five better than

907
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: the Panthers from tony twenty five? They're probably Spider Man

908
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: meme winning at each other a little bit, you know,

909
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: But so everything except for Rushes inside the five, I

910
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: think Jalen had Rico slightly. They were both pretty good though,

911
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: but it's like the really good stuff in the past

912
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: catching that Rico had Warren was better, it was, So

913
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you're right, it's probably best

914
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: to leave it to somebody else. But if I have

915
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: to pick one, I probably go in Jalen Warren, which

916
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: means you know it'll be Kayley Johnson this year out

917
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: of nowhere from the top rope. But I do agree

918
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: with you, this offense is going to be way more vertical,

919
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: way more down the field with these better options in

920
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: the receiving game. Here and Rico's got another one for

921
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: us here in a half PPR super flex league. How

922
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: much weight should one put into a quarterback wide receiver

923
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: stack and how far would you reach to draft aj

924
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: if May is your QB.

925
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: Don't force it, don't force it to happen. But I

926
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: do like a stack. I enjoy it, especially like especially

927
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: tournament setting. Like I just like I cannot ignore that,

928
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 2: but if you have the ability to do it, and

929
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 2: there are certain ones that you can, because I think

930
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 2: I've had someone I answered this in another situation that

931
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: AJ Brown and Drake maystack is it's doable, right, And

932
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna be a good discount on AJ Brown.

933
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 2: And we should see an increase in pass volume as well,

934
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: because there's a there's a better ceiling there for Drake

935
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 2: May in terms of volume. They were operating off efficiency.

936
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 2: Pass attempts weren't extremely high, so more difficult schedule more

937
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 2: pass attempts. Yeah, I can see where this can work out,

938
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: so in superflex, if you have the ability to do it,

939
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 2: I do think it gives you just a little baked

940
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: in advantage if it goes your right way, little little

941
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: cheat code there, but don't don't force it in overdraft, right.

942
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: I agree. I think that the stack is a little

943
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: bit overrated unless it's you know, like you said, a

944
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: DFS thing like I feel like one offense exploding and

945
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 1: somebody picking all those offensive players is like the millimakers

946
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: is how a lot of those are made. But it

947
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: doesn't work over a season, and you are adding two

948
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: of your best players to one by week as well.

949
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: So I do think it's a little overrated, but I

950
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: think it's super flex. It's a nice strategy, you know,

951
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: to get, but it has to be top tier, right,

952
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: and they have to be both really good, like if

953
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: you're getting Dak and Pickens or Lamb or May and

954
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: a J. Brown, you know you know what I mean

955
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: something like that.

956
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 2: I will say, though, the cheap stacks are interesting as well,

957
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: like your QB two if you're pushing that one back

958
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 2: and you can nail a QB two with a cheaper

959
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: wide receiver and that ends up working out. It's very interesting.

960
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: So I don't mind because those aren't hard.

961
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: To do, like Stroud Higgins, Yeah something like that.

962
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's not a difficult thing to do in

963
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 2: terms of parents.

964
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: Easier to replace on bye week two because that wide

965
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: receiver is usually a maybe start. You know, maybe I

966
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 1: flex this guy if it's a good option. So yeah,

967
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: I agree with you there. Absolutely. We got another one

968
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: from Jbo as well. Should I be trying to draft

969
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: depth for tight ends in QB's or strictly wide receiver

970
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: in RB? I mean, person, I'll throw this out, Tara.

971
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't want unless I take a quarterback like Mahomes,

972
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: who I don't know if he's gonna play early or

973
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: be effective if he does play early. If it's something

974
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: like that, I'll take a backup quarterback in a one

975
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: QB league. I'm almost never taking a secondary tight end.

976
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: The only way is again, if I take Kittle right

977
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: and my bench needs to be deeper for me to

978
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 1: want a backup tight end because I really hate carrying

979
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,919
Speaker 1: two tight ends. I'd rather take give me a handcuff, right,

980
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: if I have Ashton Genty, would I rather have a

981
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: backup tight end or would I rather have Mike Washington.

982
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 1: I would every time rather have Mike Washington in case

983
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: something happens to gent and I know they're gonna give

984
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: Mike Washington the ball. So the tight ends on the

985
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 1: wire and a twelve man league are usually fairly interchangeable

986
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: with each other. So with your guy on the bench

987
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: that is not starting. So I think in most cases

988
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 1: I just want to stick to the wide receiver and rbs.

989
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: But there are some scenarios where you want to add depth,

990
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: but that's if you take a risk at those positions.

991
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: Do you agree with me, Tara.

992
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bench has to be deep for me to

993
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 2: carry back ups that those otherwise I am foregoing it

994
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 2: just in general, because you also got to think, like,

995
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 2: even if your league is everybody's drafting two quarterbacks, odds

996
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 2: of them holding on to both of those quarterbacks through

997
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 2: like week five, Someone's going to get dropped, right, So

998
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you probably if you

999
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 2: need to start prepping for your bye week, there's going

1000
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 2: to end up being someone on waivers for you. So

1001
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 2: I try my hardest not to especially if I have

1002
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 2: an elite option. If for some reason I'm drafting at

1003
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 2: brock Bowers, I'm not going to back it up with

1004
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 2: a secondary option at tight end.

1005
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: So before we go here, Tara, are there any other

1006
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: situations that you are like really micro focusing on in

1007
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: training camp or anything that you want to see how

1008
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: the dust settles on, in particular.

1009
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 2: San Francisco backup running backs. Yeah.

1010
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: I like Jordan James more than I like Kaylen.

1011
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 2: Black because I you know, at the end it because again,

1012
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 2: I just like guys. And if you want to draft

1013
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 2: christ McCaffrey, you know, one hundred percent, go ahead and

1014
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 2: do it. The upside is stupid high, right, But we've

1015
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,919
Speaker 2: seen him play, you know, We've seen him have two

1016
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 2: overall RB one seasons where he had an uptick an

1017
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 2: egregious amount of touches. Each one he came back and

1018
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 2: didn't even make it a quarter the way through the season.

1019
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 2: So historical odds are not favoring him on this one.

1020
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 2: So if you're drafting him, you want to grab the

1021
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: handcuff here, and we need to have training camp to

1022
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: identify it because it's looking like Jordan James but they

1023
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 2: just spent that draft capital on Kaylon Black, so figuring

1024
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 2: out which one it's going to be. If you're drafting him,

1025
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 2: it's going to give you a little bit advantage of that,

1026
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 2: and so is a late round dart throw as well

1027
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 2: if you're not drafting Christian McCaffrey, Because if something does

1028
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 2: happen and one of those guys stumbles into the situation.

1029
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: Offense they are, it'll be good. I think if CMC

1030
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: gets hurt, it's going to be an ugly split between

1031
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: those two and probably somebody else that they sign. Yeah,

1032
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: but it would be nice to have a handcuff to know.

1033
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: I'm watching Denver real close there. Do you have any

1034
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: opinion on the Denver backfield at all?

1035
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I've come as I've heard more arguments

1036
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: from a lot of my fellow analysts here in terms of,

1037
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 2: you know, saying that the discount is good enough to

1038
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 2: draft RJ. Harvey, and I can see that, but I

1039
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 2: wouldn't rely on him to be a starter because that's

1040
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 2: my preference there because the issue that I have is

1041
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 2: that we know that JK. Dobbins is going to get

1042
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 2: the early down and goal line work. We know the

1043
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 2: role in terms of receiving and a little bit on

1044
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 2: the ground that R. J. Harvey is going to have,

1045
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 2: and then the red zone usage was good for him

1046
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,919
Speaker 2: as well last year. My problem here is that last

1047
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 2: year I was okay with Harvey because hey, we're inevitably

1048
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 2: waiting for this injury that we know was going to

1049
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 2: happen and then he's going to take over as a

1050
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 2: three down back. But Joana Coleman being there is a

1051
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 2: wee bit of an issue if he can step in

1052
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: and just be the JK. Dobbins are possibly better than

1053
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: the JK. Dobbins, So I do have fear. I know,

1054
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 2: a you know later ish round rookie being drafted into

1055
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 2: a situation should not make you panic about a guy

1056
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 2: that you saw be successful last year. But at the

1057
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 2: end of the day, Harvey was very inefficient on the

1058
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 2: ground and JK. Dobbins was factually better on the ground.

1059
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 2: Apples to apples like a direct comparison there, So it's

1060
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 2: tough to ignore that.

1061
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is I feel like that is going

1062
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: to be an ever changing landscape. I feel like it's

1063
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: it should start with Dobbins. I think Harvey is better

1064
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: than Dobbins, So he'll take over. And then is Harvey

1065
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: good enough to hold off Coleman? Is Coleman good enough

1066
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: to push Harvey? Those are the questions I think we'll

1067
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 1: get some answered in camp, not all the way. Of course.

1068
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: We got one more from Jabo before we leave. Is

1069
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: there any importance to trying to get a good kicker

1070
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: or defense.

1071
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 2: I would say a set it and forget it defense

1072
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 2: can be very relaxing in terms of you focusing your

1073
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 2: waiver priorities on the higher ticket items. I don't mind

1074
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 2: streaming either. It's not an issue, right, but I would

1075
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 2: not forego if you've got certain like make your list

1076
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: of late round targets right of offensive positions that you

1077
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 2: would you know, really like to have that you believe in.

1078
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 2: These are guys that could have league winning upside if

1079
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 2: I make the right pick at the end of the

1080
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: draft right and prioritize, you know, getting those ahead of time,

1081
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 2: and then go ahead and say, all right, let me

1082
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 2: go ahead and get my defense or my kicker and whatnot.

1083
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 2: But I don't know that there's a massive advantage. It

1084
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 2: does make things easier when you have a set it

1085
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 2: and forget it, but I don't think it's worth going

1086
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: up several rounds early in order to get that.

1087
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like j Max says, just get your lead

1088
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: to drop kickers and defense and that extra flex, right,

1089
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I'm also the IDP guy. I

1090
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: hate team defense because your team defense is only as

1091
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: good as the weakest link there. So I'm with you there,

1092
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: and Van Rod dropped one more for us, A Chan

1093
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: or Chase Brown. Where who are you more in on there?

1094
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 2: Depends on your risk tolerance. I my preference is Chase

1095
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 2: for sorry, my preference is h in. I'm drafting Chan

1096
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: over Chase Brown. But if you want the safer pick

1097
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 2: and you don't want to stomach it, then you know, say,

1098
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: Chase Brown is extremely safe. But a Chan has that

1099
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 2: legitimate top five upside that Brown doesn't have because he

1100
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 2: plays with with the jamar. Chase and T.

1101
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: Higgins agreed on I have a Chan at six, I

1102
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: have Brown at eight, so I have gent wedgeting between them.

1103
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: So yes, I'm an a Chan guy as well. So
