Speaker 1: Fantasy Live Podcasts being man MG Marks Grant alongside the

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano. No Grand bar Field today.

4
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: He was, uh, he used sunning himself down in Orange

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: County somewhere. Yeah. I think he's with with his with

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: his parents. Parents are in town Beach. Yeah. Yeah. I

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: told him to go to Balboa Peninsula. If you've have

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: you never done that. You guys have not been there. Yeah,

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: it's really cool, which I reminded him. Pretty cool. I

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: guess let him know that that is where her folks

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: who are fans of Arrested Development, that is where they shot. Yeah,

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: a lot of the scenes with the banana stand. Yeah,

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: the banana stand itself is not there. Um. I think

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: it pops up every once and then I think they

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: take it around and it shows up. But on a

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: daily basis, it is not there. But you know, they

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: shot scenes from Arrested Development at a restaurant called the

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: Warehouse and Marina Daray did you know that. I did

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: not know that, But I know what. I know where

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: the Warehouse is. I have been there. They actually shot

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: they actually shot, uh, the one of the episodes of

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Dead to Me on Netflix at the restaurant, and I

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw it, but basically it's it's

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: where Christina applicates, uh, sort of confirms that her husband

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: had been cheating on her, and that was the warehouse.

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Was at the warehouse. Okay, that's the warehouse on the

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: second floor. Before we get too far into the show,

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: let's go behind the glass. Talk to our faithful producer,

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,880

Speaker 1: res development. I'm actually just looking up the warehouse right next.

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I've been there with a great spot. Man.

33
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: I love it. I've been there a million. It's not bad. Yeah,

Speaker 1: and uh yeah. And on the topic two of Graham

37
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: being my vacation, it's like people always love to take vacations, like, oh,

38
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: I want to leave the country, want to go places.

39
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: If you like literally live in California alone, there was

40
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: you could travel to certain parts of it and you

41
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: would take up years of your life just going There's

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: so many things to do right over by us too.

43
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: So it's like I've been here for three issue years

44
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: now and I still have not even gone on too

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: like San Diego property, Like it's so so much ado here.

46
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: So it's like I want to hold off on leaving

47
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the United States and just finish up California first. Yeah.

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: I you know, a couple of years ago, I took

49
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: a staycation. You know, I didn't come to work and

50
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: I just stayed at home, and it was maybe the

51
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: best week of my life. Yeah, it was great. So

52
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: absolutely so up we want to talk about today. We

53
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: will have another update of our Todd Gurley watch, um

54
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: because you know why not. But also excited to have

55
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Bob Harris joining us till you can read his work

56
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: over at Football die Hard. You can listen to his

57
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: show on Sirius XM. Bob is a great guy, has

58
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: plenty of insight and knowledge, and he just finished a

59
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: mock draft with us just yesterday. So I want to

60
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on his mock draft and some of

61
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: the guys he is looking at, maybe some of the

62
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: guys that he's avoiding as well. But in the meantime,

63
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: let's do some news. Let's start in Pittsburgh. There's been

64
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: a lot of news coming out of the Steelers camp

65
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: so far this offseason. Dante Moncreiffe says the Steelers wide

66
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: receiver room will be electric. In fact, reports are that

67
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: he's been maybe the best receiver in camp so far

68
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: this summer. David de Castro is saying that the Steelers

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: are quote more team oriented now. It is a not

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: so veiled shot at the Antonio Brown and Levian Bell

71
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: no longer being there. Uh fabs. We've heard reports that

72
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, their general managers says that maybe they will

73
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: run more of a running back committee. We see Dante

74
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Moncrieft playing well. Uh, it makes me wonder, are we

75
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: starting to overdraft maybe Juju Smith and James Connor if

76
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: so many other guys are gonna be in the mix

77
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: this year. I don't think so, because I still think

78
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: Connor is gonna be the focal point of the offense.

79
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: In terms of the backfield, we've heard reports about them

80
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: maybe using a little bit more of Jalen Samuel's and

81
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: of course they drafted Benny Snell. But if you look

82
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: at Mike Tomlins historical data, it always comes back to

83
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: a featured back uh in that offense. So I'm not

84
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: worried about is going in the first round now late

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: first round. I've seen him in several mocks go ahead

86
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, which will also talk about and Juju is

87
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: going to go in the second round and Uh, And

88
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is what he's shown

89
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 1: us in his first two seasons, plus targets Antonio Brown

90
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: leaves a lot of targets behind. The one player that

91
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm seeing who is really jumping up in mock drafts,

92
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: and I'm sure the best ball community is all over

93
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: this guy is James Washington. I was in a mock

94
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: uh last night. Actually we're playing it out. Um. It

95
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: was with Bob and I'm pretty sure Washington went in

96
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: the seventh round. Wow. Yeah, that's the name that I

97
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: don't think we've mentioned quite as much lately, But he

98
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: just seems to be the next one in line, at

99
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: least on paper. With a b gone Juju moving up

100
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: to the number one spot, it just seems like Washington

101
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: would be moving up to that number two slot. Although

102
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: if this news about Dante Moncreef is to be believed,

103
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: then maybe We'll see his his a DP move up

104
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: a little bit right, and you would think that the

105
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: value if Washington is moving far up so quickly, is

106
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: in Moncrief because he's going to be like one of

107
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: the last three rounds. We'll be there right now. He's

108
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: a fantasy football calculator. He's thirteen round and Washington and

109
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: just zooming up. So if you don't want to to

110
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 1: take a risk on Washington at the seventh eighth round cost,

111
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: then Moncreef is a is a fallback in a much

112
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: cheaper one later in the draft. Speaking of wide receivers,

113
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers reportedly wants to throw the ball to Davante

114
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: Adams more. I'm totally cool with that. Um. You know,

115
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: I had been going since the end of last season,

116
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: probably since late and last season. I sort of decided

117
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 1: that that DeAndre Hopkins was going to be my wide

118
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: receiver one. Um. But man, if they're going throw Davante

119
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: Adams more, man needs to rethink that. How much? What

120
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: do you have? A hundred eleven catches last year, thirteen touchdowns.

121
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: He was our wide receiver too, and he was probably

122
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: the most consistent wide receiver. Every single week you were

123
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: getting production from Davante Adams. And we know one thing

124
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers. He can't chuck a bear, but he

125
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: can't chuck the football. So I think this is a heck.

126
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how much more you can

127
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: throw to him. I don't know if he had his

128
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: sailing last season. Sixty nine targets ridiculous. So what do

129
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: you take out of this, Edward? He Draftedvante Adams at

130
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: the end of the first round and if he falls

131
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: sitting in the second round in a PPR league, Yes,

132
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: sir um. With the rest of that wide receiver corps, though,

133
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: is there anybody there? You know? Marquez Veldes scantling, equanimious thing,

134
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: But who I'm calling like the alphabet crew because there's

135
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: so many letters and all these names. Um, I mean,

136
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: is there anybody else there that you would maybe take

137
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: a dart throw at? Late in the drag guy, you

138
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: didn't mention Jeronimo Allison, So, uh, we did our mock draft.

139
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: They did a draft also with die Hards, and Allison

140
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: was the second wide receiver to come off the board. Uh,

141
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: from Green Bay's roster. In both of those drafts. I

142
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: think Michael Florio took him in our draft. Um, and

143
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: he went second among Green Bay wide receivers yesterday. So

144
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: so Alison would be the guy that I would be

145
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: going after. And then a late flyer on on Valdes

146
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: scantling as well. Uh down to Carolina. Ron Rivera says

147
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 1: Cam Newton return is quote the first step of many.

148
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: Now that first step was coming out, and I love

149
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: they unveiling a new throwing motion. I mean it was

150
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: like it was like a premiere of a new Avengers movie.

151
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: The way it was hyped up on Twitter. I know

152
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: they like had video of it, like live video of it.

153
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean I saw it after the fact. I will

154
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: say that I have not studied Cam's throwing motion enough

155
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: to know what is new or different about it. Um.

156
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: You know, and I know that if you dig around

157
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you can find plenty of people who are

158
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: tape eaters who have broken it down and can tell

159
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: you what is different now versus what we've seen in

160
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: the past. Um, I guess my my only question is

161
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: is Cam healthy and well can be running? Because you

162
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: know we're a year we hear that he might not

163
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: run as much and that his accuracy is kind of

164
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: a problem. If Cam Newton is healthy. Um, I mean

165
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: I feel like he's kind of getting underdrafted for for

166
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: who he potentially can be. I mean, he's what QB,

167
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: he's he's uh, he's a ninth round guy. Not a

168
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: surprise there, but I mean, you know, right now, coming

169
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: off the board reportedly after guys like uh, Philip Rivers

170
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: and Jared Goff and you know Carson Wentz. Yeah, that's

171
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: not that's Newton is right. I mean, he's a top

172
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: five fantasy quarterback, yeah, no doubt. And you know, keep

173
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: in mind, he's coming off a season where he only

174
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: rushed for four hunting and eighty eight yards and four touchdowns,

175
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: and the previous season he was over seven h seven

176
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: fifty and he had six and part of part of

177
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: what happened with Cam Newton obviously wasn't healthy. If you

178
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: watched Carolina Football at the end of last season and

179
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: watched Cam Newton tried to throw the ball, I mean

180
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: he made Tim Tebow look like Peyton Manning. Let's put

181
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: it that way. It was it was bad. It was bad.

182
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: So if he's back in healthy, obviously that's gonna I

183
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,479
Speaker 1: love d J. Moore. I think Curtis Samuel is a worthwhile,

184
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: uh late round guy. He's got talent around him, He's

185
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: got Christian McCaffrey. Who I mean, this dude looks like

186
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: Captain American now, his guns showing him all over the internet.

187
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: But if Cam is back to being Cam, and which

188
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: you all we all kind of hope he is, remember

189
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: that's also gonna have a trickle down effect on Kaffrey

190
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: because how many times last year did we see Carolina's

191
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: offense gets inside the five yard line and you're thinking

192
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: Cam is gonna get punch it in here, and they

193
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: never gave it to him because he wasn't healthy. They

194
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: were giving the ball to McCaffrey. McCaffrey was the guy.

195
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: And so if Cam is healthy and they're going to

196
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: utilize him a little bit more near the goal line,

197
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: maybe there's a little regression with McCaffrey. I don't know

198
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: that that's going to happen, but certainly Cam Newton's health

199
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: is something that we need to watch and monitor over

200
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: the next several weeks and months as we're leading up

201
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: to training camp, which I mean guys next month, next month, um,

202
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, along those lines to the last day or two,

203
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of Curtis Samuel Hype. Um. I

204
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: like him, man, I had him at the end of

205
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: last season. I liked him. I like him too, at

206
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: least I like his skills. I feel like he's one

207
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: of those guys that they haven't found a real role

208
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: for him. I mean, that's kind of my issue with him,

209
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: is that it's not about his ability, it's just about

210
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: that he just hasn't seen. He's sort of in that,

211
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the Duke Johnson where he kind

212
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: of does a little bit of everything but doesn't necessarily

213
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: get a lot of opportunity at one spot. Um. I mean,

214
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: I guess if if North Turner would just come out and,

215
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: you know, call us on the show and say, hey, look,

216
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: Curtis Sam's going to do X, Y and Z, I

217
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: guess I'd be more excited. And you know what, I think,

218
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Nor is probably at home pining for us to call.

219
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure. But you also lost targets with

220
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: Fanchesco in Indian after so maybe it'll be some more opportunities. Um.

221
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: Over in Philadelphia, do stan Lee says the Eagles will

222
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: continue with the running back by committee approach. Ya wonderful, yay.

223
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: Um just just what I was trying to talk myself

224
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: into Miles Sanders. You know, I'm really starting to get

225
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: kind of excited about Miles Sanders. Um. And look, I

226
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: knew that there wasn't gonna be one straight up RB

227
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: one there. There's gonna be a couple of guys. But

228
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: now my fears with all the guys they have that

229
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: everybody gets to turn and suddenly none of those guys

230
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: has any real because I mean, you know, we've seen

231
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: it all over the world wide web. I mean when

232
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: you talk about the Eagles backfield committee situation, committee situation,

233
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: that's what we had, you know last season, you know,

234
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: until Adams kind of took over a little bit, but

235
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: then he really couldn't get the job done down the stretch.

236
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: And you know, Sanders, everyone talks about him being, uh,

237
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: he's an electric back. He's a versatile back, a guy

238
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: who maybe would have made some more noise in college

239
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: if he hadn't been playing behind a certain running back

240
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: named sa Kwan Barkley. I've ever heard, but George, I mean,

241
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: like I get it, Like everyone in the industry loves

242
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: to crap on Jordan Howard, I get it, Okay, Like,

243
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: but the guy like from from A he's not a

244
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: great pass catcher. But although we have heard this off

245
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: season that you know, he said the Eagles are gonna

246
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: utilize him in more than one facet, so maybe he's

247
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna I don't know, I don't know if that's true,

248
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: but I mean, Jordan Howard is not like an old dude.

249
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that the guy has been in

250
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: there in the league with three years, so he's still

251
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: gonna get his touches, and so I I that's why

252
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: I feel like like Sanders going maybe in the six

253
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: seventh round and the twelfth team weakue, I could see it, um,

254
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna invest too much capital in him

255
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: in redrafts because I really feel like, at the end

256
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: of the day, unless there's an injury, you know, Miles

257
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Sanders is going to be sharing the worklow with Jordan Howard.

258
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: And in fact, I wouldn't be shocked if in week

259
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: when Jordan Howard is a start and Miles Sanders is

260
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: behind him on the depth chart, we'll see well. And

261
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: the other part of that is, I mean Jordan Howard,

262
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: if he is the you know, continues to be the

263
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: big bruiser he has been he's the touchdown guy. But

264
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: actually when they say, you know, we talk about the

265
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: forty Niners backfield being one that you might want to avoid, uh,

266
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: to a lesser degree the Eagles backfield, and they've got

267
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: some other guys there too, you know, Corey Klement too,

268
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: So that that could be one where we like the

269
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: talent with Sanders, but what we're underestimating the impact and

270
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: the role that Jordan Howard could see in this offense. Yeah,

271
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: I think I think that's absolutely fair. Uh. Speaking of

272
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: running backs by committee and guys trying to get a

273
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: bigger share of the pie there, Rashad Penny says he's

274
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: feeling grown up basically, and he wants to get better

275
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: in his second year. I have been of the opinion

276
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: since late last season that Pete Carroll is going to

277
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: give Rashad Penny every opportunity to try and be successful,

278
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: and Chris Carson is still going to get his But

279
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: I just have a feeling that you know, in training camp,

280
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Rashot Pen is gonna get a lot of opportunities and

281
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: he's going to be given every opportunity to become the starter,

282
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: because look, they to become the starter to become the starter.

283
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm not saying it will happen, but

284
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see him get a lot of

285
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: opportunity this year. This person was so good last season,

286
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: he was so good. Um. Yeah, there's there's no way

287
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: that Penny is not going to get more touches in

288
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: this offense unless he completely falls on his face, and

289
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't really expect that to happen. So we could

290
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: see a one two punch. I think we will see

291
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: a one two punch. I think Carson will still lead

292
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: the team in backfield touches, but Penny is gonna put

293
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: a dent there. The good news is that if we

294
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: look at what Seattle did last season, they ran the

295
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: ball a lot, a lot. I mean, Russell Wilson didn't

296
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: run the ball as much as we'd like him to

297
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: or we'll get as many rushing yards. But Carson, uh, Penny,

298
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna get their touches. I think Carson is still

299
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: the player to target. If you want to go in

300
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: terms of a value, uh, then Penny would be the

301
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: guy that you're going after because he's probably not going

302
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: to come off the board until after the eighth round.

303
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's one that's another one though, Those those guys,

304
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: it's so hard this This has been a year where

305
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: I've just decided I'm going heavy wide receivers in my draft,

306
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: just because there's so many of these these committee situations

307
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: and I feel like it'll be you know, week two

308
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: or three before we start to sort these out, and

309
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: the draft made it worse. And then because we have

310
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: we have so much, I would argue that maybe we

311
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: have more running back talent, young running back talent in

312
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: the league than we've had in a long long time. Now.

313
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: While that's good for each respective team who may have

314
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: one or two guys that they can really lean on

315
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: from a fantasy standpoint, you know, we all want every

316
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: backfield to be the Cowboys where we know getting football.

317
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: But you've got the Bears. Uh, they've got three guys. Now.

318
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: You know, we all love David Montgomery, but Cohen's gonna

319
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: be They've still got Mike Davis. You know, Philadelphia, San Francisco,

320
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: so and and when when Kareem Hunt comes back, Cleveland

321
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: could end up being a mess. So to me, and

322
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm the running back struth, I'm I'm making

323
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: sure I'm locking down at least one guy that I

324
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: know he's going to get the touches. Um. But to

325
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: your point, in the draft that I did yesterday, I

326
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: had the fourth pick I took, I took Kimara. I

327
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: was hoping to get Zeke and fall to me. And

328
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: I took one more running back in the first, in

329
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: the last in the next five rounds. So I ended

330
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: up with feeling Keenan Allen Um, Tyler Lockett, and Jarvis Landry.

331
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: And that's why my number three running back was John

332
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: McCoy because, um, I just I saw the value and

333
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: wide receivers and it's a PPR league, um, because why

334
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be. And so I think you're gonna see that.

335
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: So you're gonna see like once you get into like

336
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: round five, round six, round seven, people are gonna start

337
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: kind of like throwing darts at like running back committee,

338
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: uh situations, you know, like Penny like Miles standards for example. Yeah,

339
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I just you know, you talk about the draft,

340
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: I feel like teams drafted a lot of running back talent,

341
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: but they did it to add depth to what they

342
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: already had there, which doesn't help us in anything shape

343
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: or form exactly. So I mean I've gone into the drafts,

344
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: trying to get like you said, trying to get one

345
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: guy at least that you know is going to get

346
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: about a lot of touches, at least having a second

347
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: running back that you can feel okay about. And then

348
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: from there on, if if I see a running back

349
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: that I still like, maybe I'll grab him better than that.

350
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just going wide receiver heavy. So you know,

351
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: that's pretty much everything you need to know. Hey, it's

352
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: not for another edition of Todd Gurley Watch, because hey,

353
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: why not. I mean, it has been the thing that

354
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: has vexed us so far all summer. It will continue

355
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: to vex us until we get to the start of

356
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: the regular season. But our man Maurice Jones drew who

357
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: uh you see here on NFL Networking fact on NFL

358
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live on occasion. He also doubles as the Rams

359
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: radio analyst, and he says Todd Gurley, uh well told him,

360
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: at least the Rams told him that they want to

361
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: keep Todd Gurley fresh all year round. In fact, he

362
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: was on NFL Network uh and he said just that

363
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: what the Rams are doing now, and I think there's

364
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: a lot of attention on what they're doing, because it's

365
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: really important what they're doing. They're they're they're customizing their

366
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: plans for each player. So Todd has a plan to

367
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: be ready throughout the course of the season. They want

368
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: to make sure that they don't run Todd as much

369
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: as they did last year and the year before all

370
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: the way to where he can't perform the last two

371
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: games of the year, he has to take a rest

372
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: to getting prepared for the playoffs. They want to make

373
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: sure he's fresh year around. I think that's important because

374
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley is an exceptional player, one of the best

375
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: league touchdowns the last two years, and we don't want

376
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: to have to go even as as great at C. J.

377
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: Anderson was, they don't want to have to go and

378
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: find a guy off the street to come on and

379
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: play and then get running again. They don't want to

380
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: do that. So the plan starts with drafting Darrell Henderson

381
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: out of Memphis. You go and draft him. Okay, now

382
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: Todd has a guy where last year Todd was on

383
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: the field eight plus percent of the time. You don't

384
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: want that. You want Todd to be able to come

385
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: in and be explosive and a spurts. Malcolm Brown got hurt,

386
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: Todd had to take over be the only guy. They

387
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: only had two backs up that were active. Now you'll

388
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: go to three to four backs that will be active.

389
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: From there, we're not gonna run Todd and O T

390
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: A s And and you know have the you know

391
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: him getting tread on the tires and O t as.

392
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't put on a

393
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: helmet until week one and expect that because I think

394
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: coach mcbody has come out and said that. So this

395
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: plan has been laid out between Todd, his personal trainer,

396
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: and Coast McVeigh and the organization of what they're gonna do,

397
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: and they've all bought into it and they're all working

398
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: well doing It's not only Todd that has his custom workout,

399
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: other players have it as well. So Sean McVeigh is

400
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: doing something that's unpresident in the NFL, doing custom workouts

401
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: for each player so that you don't hear the you know,

402
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: this is why this guy isn't here. That guy's there.

403
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: They have plans and they're they're sticking to it. Okay,

404
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: when he's been at his best, he averages around twenty

405
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: two touches a game, carries and catches combined twenty two

406
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: a game. Do we expect that for sixteen games this year?

407
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: I think you can expect that. I think twenty two.

408
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: But it's it's not he might not be on the

409
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: field for eighty snaps. He may be on the field

410
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: for sixty or fifty snaps instead of having to being

411
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: on the field for sixteen games playing eighty snaps to

412
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: ninety snaps a game. That's that's it's not gonna happen anymore.

413
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: So basically, what what m j d Is saying is

414
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: that he's expecting Girly to still get around twenty two

415
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: touches per game. He just may not be on the

416
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: field quite as often. Look, I did the quick math.

417
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: Twenty two touches per game averages out to about fifty

418
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: touches for the season. Uh, it's about what he's averaged

419
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: each of the last two years. Um. But his ADP

420
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: has dropped. It was one one dot oh nine last week,

421
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: it's one dot ten this week. Um. Have we have

422
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: we about reached the floor? Do we think? For for

423
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: his his a DP? The draft I did yesterday, he

424
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: was the second rounder, a mid to late second rounder,

425
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: and I was hoping he would follow me because I'd

426
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: have grabbed him. And you know the thing here is

427
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: that uh and I say it all the time every

428
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: year the fantasy football community, we were a little squirrely.

429
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: And when we start to read the tea leaves on things,

430
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: we start to to really uh devalue or or on

431
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: the on the flip side, increase up players value based

432
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: on what we're hearing. And I get it. You know

433
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: what we saw at the end of last season it

434
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: was not good. Um, you know the word Arth Rittick.

435
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: You know, we don't like to hear that. That's not good.

436
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: The Rams matching the offer for the Lions for Malcolm

437
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: Brown and then moving up to get Darrell Henderson, you know,

438
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: not good. It all seems to mean that Girly is

439
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: going to see if fewer touches, and I think early

440
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: we'll see a few were touches. But here's the thing.

441
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: This is still one of, if not the most electric

442
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: running back in the entire league and they want to

443
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: keep him fresh year round. Okay, I get it, But

444
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley getting eight and can we can we really

445
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: see him averaging fewer than eighteen touches a game? I

446
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: mean like, really, nine of the rounds want to win, really,

447
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like, so, I know they want to keep

448
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: him fresh, but they still gotta win games. And you're

449
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: talking about twenty two touches a game the last two seasons,

450
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: and of course at the end of last season he

451
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: was banged up. But um, I I'd still take him

452
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the first round. And if he's

453
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: there in the second round and he falls to me,

454
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take him. I don't mind taking that risk

455
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: because listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna go for the home run, Okay.

456
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna be scared to draft them, then

457
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: don't draft them. Because there's different types of fantasy owners

458
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: out there. There's guys that want to completely avoid risk

459
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: at all costs, and I get it, and then there's

460
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: other ones like me that see Todd Gurley in the

461
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: second round, I'm like, dude, I'm grabbing him. I don't care.

462
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: I'd like, you know, I'll cover myself, Okay, I'll try

463
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: to grab Henderson as insurance. I'll do these kind of things.

464
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: I did that in our draft where I I end

465
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: up getting girly. I think I was seven or eight

466
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: overall and then I got Henderson. I think it was

467
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: like in the eighth round, um, which is probably as

468
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: high as I draft him. Uh in attend team league.

469
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: And so I'm feeling good about it. I'm feeling good

470
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: about it. And again, you know I've said you a

471
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: million times. There's people I know that No, Todd, Todd's healthy.

472
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: Todd said it. He had a quote yesterday like, this

473
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: is a this is a small problem compared to the

474
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: problems he had with in college. He's not an old dude.

475
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: And we're not going to see him in you know,

476
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: we're not you know days, We're not gonna see him chronologically.

477
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: It comes down to what's your disposition on this. Are

478
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: you a guy who likes to take chances and hit

479
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: the home run? If you are girls there at the

480
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: end of the first round or in the second round,

481
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: take him if you wanna completely avoid risk, avoid them

482
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: all together. That's what Graham wants to do. Um. In

483
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: fact that yeah, I see the quote right now actually

484
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: coming across my my Twitter timeline. I had bigger problems

485
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: to worry about coming out of college. This is small.

486
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: So say so that is from the mouth of Tiger.

487
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's weird. Because we're getting to a point.

488
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if it, if it keeps dropping his a DP,

489
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Todd really might end up being a bargain a draft value. Now,

490
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: that's right wild, And that's that's the insanity of the

491
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: fantasy football world, especially the industry. It happens all the time.

492
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. We'll probably talk about that

493
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: with with Bob Harris coming up, but it happens all

494
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: the time. And you know, there there's players that start

495
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: shooting up. It's like like James Washington for example, and

496
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: everyone's all into him and maybe it maybe it pans out,

497
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't. But Girly is certainly a guy that

498
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: people are really starting to get down on. Not myself,

499
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: uh so much, but I'm looking for the value in this.

500
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: I have a feeling what will happen. At some point

501
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: it will bottom out maybe you know, early second round,

502
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: and then it'll start to come back by the time

503
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: we get to August. Um. You know, even if even

504
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: if his a DP gets down into the second round,

505
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: I think by the time we get to August, he

506
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: will be still back into it. So it's kind of

507
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: like Tyreeke right, So Tyreek like we were like he

508
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: ain't playing. He's not playing this season, not playing. Now

509
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: you hear you know that the uh, the criminal investigation

510
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: has been concluded. So now the NFL has got to

511
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,239
Speaker 1: do their investigation, and the NFL is going to suspend him.

512
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: I think it's imminent. We don't know how many games.

513
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: But in the draft that I was in last night,

514
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: and I mentioned this draft because it was the most

515
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: recent one I've been in, like he went, he was

516
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: you had, you had Sammy Watkins, and then Hill was

517
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: very close to being drafted near Watkins because Watkins has

518
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: moved up, so Hill is moving back up. Like I

519
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: I saw a Hill go in eighth, ninth, tenth round.

520
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: Now I'm seeing him go in the seventh round. And

521
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: maybe he's worth that because people, uh, unless he gets

522
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: to spend it for the year. We have no idea,

523
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: no idea, We're just we're just guessing at this point.

524
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: But that's what happens, you know, it's kind of ebsent fuls.

525
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: It's like the stock market. So right now Hill's value

526
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: is going a little bit up and Girly's value is

527
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: starting to drop a little bit, and you're we're gonna

528
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: see players uh like that in mock drafts and markets,

529
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: and I do them all the time, and we will

530
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: send him out to you and let you guys know

531
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: sort of what the industry, what the high stakes folks

532
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: are thinking. And right now they're thinking, they're down on Girly,

533
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: They're moving Tyreek Kill up a little bit. James Washington

534
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: is certainly moving up. There you go. So, uh, speaking

535
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: of which, we will talk to a guy. Let's go

536
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: talk to a guy by the way who uh maybe

537
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: has an opinion and some interesting thoughts on some of

538
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: this stuff. Joining us on the phone right now. He

539
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: is the senior editor at Football die Hard. You can

540
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: hear him hosting a show on Sirius x M. You

541
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: can find him on Twitter at Football die Hard. He

542
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: is one of the smartest and best people in this

543
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: fantasy industry and friend of the program. Bob Harris, Bob, welcome,

544
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: thanks for stopping by and joining us for a little bit. Marcus,

545
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: thank you, fab Hello, Hello, my friend. Let me just

546
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: jump in first and say that I'm I'm mostly sad

547
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: the Game of Thrones is over. I missed the recap.

548
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: You guys did the best recap and they were awesome.

549
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: Although I will say let me just try it last

550
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: episode quickly. You know, when I was a kid, there

551
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 1: was a show called The f B I Storry from

552
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: Zimblitt Jr. And every episode ended about ten minutes early.

553
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: Then he came back and they added fel off. That

554
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: last forty five minutes of Game of Thrones with the block.

555
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: Nobody cares the d off with an area. You know.

556
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: And before we get into talking about some mock drafts

557
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: that we have done and some other topics in the

558
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: world of fantasy football, people might not know this, but

559
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: Bob Harris is the hardest working man in fantasy football.

560
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: And he does it for two reasons. One because he

561
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: likes to travel, so you've got to work. You've got

562
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: to make that cash so you can travel. And secondly,

563
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: he has a cat that would probably cost about a

564
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: week's worth of pay to feed. This cat is from

565
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: outer space. If you don't follow Bob on Twitter or

566
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: on social media, you've got to do it just to

567
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: look at his cat. How how much does that cat

568
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: weigh right now? That's about thirty pounds of cat. It's

569
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: a cat thirty pounds, yes, exactly. He's he's thick, he's

570
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: you know what Garfield is his role model, right, I

571
00:25:53,160 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: don't know about that. That's a big cat. That was

572
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: definitely check that out because when I saw that cat,

573
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: I thought it was photoshoped. That that is amazing. I'm

574
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: glad you started with the game of throwing stuff because

575
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: that's actually where I was going to start. So you

576
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: you kind of like it's almost like you were reading

577
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: my mind there. So I gas the show as all,

578
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: that's great. Um, so we all just did a mock

579
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: draft thanks to the folks in my fantasy league, a

580
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 1: PPR mock draft, and you Bob is sitting we were

581
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: sitting in the one spot overall. Um, you went say

582
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley. Not really a huge surprise, but it did

583
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: kind of lead me to wonder. We have spent a

584
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: lot of time on this podcast, and I know a

585
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy podcasts have wondering what to do with

586
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, where he's going to fall, how people are

587
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: viewing him. So I want to get your thoughts where

588
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: do you fall in this Todd Gurley conundrum right now?

589
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: So there, you know, the two seasons ago, I wanted

590
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: I was mad that I wasn't getting a better discount

591
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: on Todd Gurley coming off to that last fourth season

592
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: under Jeff Fisher, and I was avoiding this season. I'm

593
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: seeing the discount is starting to really, you know, become steep,

594
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, that little second round. I'm starting to go damn.

595
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: And you know, I used my same old tired cliche.

596
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: At some point, I want to be the fantasy fireman

597
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: run into the burning building of value and drabs the

598
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: body out. And Gurly starting to look like that guy. Um.

599
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: And it was interesting. Just this past weekend, I was

600
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: talking to Joe Vetty of the Ventura County Star and

601
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: he's a he's a pretty you know, beat writer, but

602
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: a pretty styled in fantasy player as well, and he

603
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: reminded me of something I try to remember every single

604
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: day this time of year. We're looking down a drinking straw.

605
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: We're looking at minute by minute. You have to step

606
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: back and look at the big picture. Look at the

607
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: numbers really produced while he was on the field lack.

608
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: You're granted, the uncertainty creates issues for us, right, I mean,

609
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: you know, oh, is you gonna disappear for a game whatever?

610
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: Do more mindful and take a bigger picture and look

611
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: at the time when he is on the field and

612
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: the workloads there. And I know you know your own

613
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones drew the networks UH analysts has talked to

614
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: early recently, and you know they're downplaying it. There's a

615
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: lot of down playing going on, right, and our anst

616
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: is going counter to that, and I get it. But

617
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: just mitigate the risk, right and if the value is right,

618
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: don't be afraid to jump in. Uh, you know, not

619
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: every first round pick, not every second round pick, not

620
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 1: every third round pick comes through. So just you know,

621
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: you have to draft, you know, have a solid draft

622
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: through route, but don't be afraid to dive in when

623
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: you see that value. Yeah, I agree with you too, man.

624
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: And we were in a draft last night for die

625
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: hards and I think you went in the middle of

626
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: the second round. I was hoping he would fall. To me,

627
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: I don't even know that he's going to be a

628
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: consensus first rounder, maybe until training camp and we start

629
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: to get some clearer news. But I'm on board with you.

630
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: And I've said this a million times on the podcast.

631
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: I know people who know Todd, and Todd's not He's

632
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: not uh injured right now, He's not. And the ridiculousness

633
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: of the fantasy world, and you know we've been doing

634
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: this for a long time. Is that oftentimes people go nuts, Okay,

635
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: they go insane, and everyone jumps on a bandwagon, no

636
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: matter what it is. Earlier in the off season it

637
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: was the Heat Kick Team Butler bandwagon, and now it's

638
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: the bandwagon of basically avoiding Todd Gurley at all costs.

639
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not there. Man. If he's getting eighteen to

640
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: twenty two touches based on his talent, I will take

641
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: him all day long. And anybody who's taken Durrell Henderson

642
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: in the seventh or sixth round is out of their minds. Yeah,

643
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's our buddy might play from me,

644
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: STM pointed out, you know, the averagere touches over the

645
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: last three seasons, so out Week fifteen last season, to

646
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: that point, he played percent of the snap at percent

647
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: of the design was run around on sixty percent of

648
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: the team's past played. U hard to share. All those

649
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: numbers compared favorably to the previous season. The only difference

650
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: was the miss games. And I get at the uncertainty

651
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: at this time of the year, you know, blows us

652
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: up into you know, our our brains uh, the lizard

653
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: brain tries to protect us right and goes into defensive

654
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: mode because we're just not sure. But I'll just remind

655
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: you again, I want to stress, and probably the thing,

656
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that I stressed this time of year.

657
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: Quit looking down the drinking straw. This is not a

658
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: minify minute situation. This is a big picture situation. Would

659
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: this all be better if I mean, look, not that

660
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: we're going to stop doing this podcast or you're gonna

661
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: stop doing your radio show, but if we weren't looking

662
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: at this on a week by week basis, would we

663
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: all be a little bit more rational about this kind

664
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: of stuff we look at it five we do go

665
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: deeper than that we're looking at it minify minutes. Literally

666
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: watched I'm in mock draft and we're all in mock

667
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: draft on ongoing consistently. Or you see a beat writer somewhere,

668
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, broad and glowing reporter toss a little shade

669
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: in a particular player and you can see the adjustments

670
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: going on. And I think one of the things that

671
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, I am the advantage, and I think a

672
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: lot of people if you're playing in a lot of

673
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: best balls, if you're a hunter bestballs. Yeah, a little

674
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: minified minute is cool. You might catch a little lightning

675
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: in a bottle. Um. But if you're just you know,

676
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: focusing on a couple of leagues, or you have one

677
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: big league, you'd like to play it death back, think

678
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: back to last year, think back. I always remind people

679
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: listen to what the coaches at GM say at the

680
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: scouting combine. My experience over three thousand years of cover

681
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL has been that what those guys, you

682
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: know they lie all the time, right, it seems like

683
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: one of the few times they don't lie, that they

684
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: actually foreshadow and give us an idea of what's coming,

685
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: is what they say at the combine in February. Well,

686
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 1: looking at the rest of your draft and we get

687
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: away from from the top of it here you went

688
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: with zach ERT's top around three. And you know, Fad

689
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this. No, no concern about

690
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Godder for you, huh No, none there. I mean,

691
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: I I do think maybe god Or can play greater role.

692
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: This is kind of is the same offense that we see,

693
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, Frank Reich running an indie or tight ends

694
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: can all be valuable commodities. Um, I think there's a

695
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: lot of targets there. I think in zach Ertz's case,

696
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm after the consistent production. I know a lot of people,

697
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: and I do believe in getting one of the three

698
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: tight ends, those top three tight ends before I'm coming

699
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: out of round three, if possible. It's not. I'm waiting

700
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: all day long. But I think the consistent production has

701
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: been there for for Travis Kelsey, who you know in

702
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: the draft, I'm in. If you're drafting with Sigma him

703
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: are buddy from football guys, you better drafted him in

704
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: the first round or you're not getting him. Kelsey and

705
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: but but beyond that, I'm kind of hoping Kelsey and

706
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: Kittle are gone and I'm getting the Earth is that

707
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: third guy because I do think especially a PPR, and

708
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: especially at tight end premium boring leagues, you can't go

709
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: wrong there. But just even in straight PPR, I want

710
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: one of those top three. So um, you also drafted

711
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and he was the first wide receiver in

712
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: that l a RAMS receiving corps to come off the board,

713
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: and there's been sort of a lot of debate which

714
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: is the best Rams wide receivers to draft in fantasy

715
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: this season, I have Robbert Woods draft ranked higher than him,

716
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: and I have Cooks and Cup only because Cup, well,

717
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: we have to see sort of how he's doing in

718
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: terms of his return from the a c L. I

719
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: may potentially move him ahead of Brandon Cooks. What made

720
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: you draft Cooks ahead of Woods? Uh? And to a

721
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: lesser degree, Cup. I don't think you can go wrong

722
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: with any of them, right, And this just kind of

723
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: maybe depends on when you're drafting. And I ranked Cooks

724
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: and Would consecutively right now, right, and maybe you know,

725
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: in a PPR league, maybe I you know, I could

726
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: make an argument for Woods. I mean, they go three

727
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: wide so often in Los Angeles that it's it's hard

728
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: to predict which guy is going to be the most productive.

729
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: And the people who cover that team on a daily

730
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: basis will tell you there is no real wide receiver. One.

731
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: The wide receiver one is the open wide receiver. So

732
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: it all things being equal, I like Cooks at that

733
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: point in the draft, But if I had my total

734
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: brothers there, I'm buying the cheapest option there. I probably

735
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: buy Cup and probably try and wait, I just you know,

736
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm believe in that draft. I was looking at what

737
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: was available at the same time, and just none of

738
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: it appealed to me. I like Brandon Cooks upside as

739
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: a big play threat, and uh, he's each last four years,

740
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: he's been you know, over a thousand yards twelve yards

741
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: and he should last four years. He's finished between eight

742
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: and twelfth among wide receivers. So he beat his ADP

743
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. I'm on board with any of

744
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: those guys, and you know, grabbing Cooks as the first

745
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: one not my usual tactics. I'm usually waiting until I

746
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: get the cheapest piece of that part. And it's gonna

747
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: be hard for you, man, because like I'm not even

748
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: kidding you, Bob Harris does an excessive what forty or

749
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: fifty leagues a year. I'll be in thirty re draft leagues.

750
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: I'll be and I'll have done a close to a

751
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: hundred best ball, which is no big deal. They're setting forget,

752
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: but still, I mean, you know, so, I I guess

753
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: that's you know, kind of the thing that I need

754
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: to do is I need to draft well because you know,

755
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: truth be cold, and this will not surprise anybody. When

756
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: you're in thirty redraft doing waivers is no, mean you

757
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: got to hire somebody to do that. I mean, you're

758
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: not often first in line and some of us, you know,

759
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: in this business, you have a heavy workload on Tuesdays

760
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: and Wednesdays when waivers are going on, and so you

761
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: don't always get first in line, which is why I

762
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: always say my job is not winning championship, it's helping

763
00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: you win championship, because I'm realistic. Yeah, you and it's

764
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable that I mean, and I know there's people

765
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: out there to do even more than that. Like you know,

766
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: Marcus and I are doing somewhere between what like ten

767
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: and fifteen something like that, and people are asking us

768
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: how how we do it? And then I say, I

769
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 1: don't really, let me introduce you to my friend Bob

770
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: Harris is there. I think what what you try to

771
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: do is you you know, you you pick a few

772
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: leagues that are of particular interest. I know Marcus and

773
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: I were in London Draft and Canton. I mean that's

774
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: a pretty big showcase, lea you want to do that

775
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: one the Scott's fish Bowl, uh that that everybody's in.

776
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: You kind of don't want to look like a chump there,

777
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: and some of the pros versus Joe's. You want to

778
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: show well, and I mean, you know, so there you

779
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: prioritize a little bit and and try to manage your

780
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: time that way. All right, So doing all these drafts,

781
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: is there a particular player or maybe two that you

782
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: keep running up on and they're available, and you're like,

783
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: I don't want this guy, and then you draft him. Yeah,

784
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: they're not Letron McCoy. Yes, I did that. I did

785
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: that yesterday. And you're drafted out a lot of them,

786
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: and you know, and I mean even you're trying to,

787
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, sell yourself on the notions. Okay, it's the

788
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: eighth or ninth round for a starting running back or

789
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: at the moment of starting running back. And yet still

790
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: I feel filthy every time it happens. Uh. And and

791
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: I mean he's just I mean, they're a handful of

792
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: guys like that. He is the most notable. He's the

793
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: one that stands out the most. There's more. I think

794
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: I'm more on the end of guys that I really

795
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: want to get a piece up that maybe I jumped

796
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: the gun on a little bit. You know. Will Fuller's

797
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: the guy, for example, I mean, he's played eleven games

798
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: with Shawn Watson, he has eleven touchdowns. I'm calling it

799
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: a lost in connection. And you know, when we all

800
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: know the issues, it's just like drafting Tyler Eifer. I'm

801
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: can't not. I mean, he's practically free, and I keep

802
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: thinking back and you know, one of my both a

803
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: plus and a negative. I'm injury agnostic. I try to

804
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 1: be looking. Anyone could get hurt any time, right, I mean,

805
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: and and so if you throw out chronic, you know,

806
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: conditions for a player. I mean, look, if a guy's

807
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: running down the see of like effort was last your

808
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: lands drawing on that ankle and it implodes, It's just

809
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: a freak accident. I look at will Fuller's situations is

810
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: kind of the same. I mean an a T L sure,

811
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: a broken classical Okay, broken ribs. I mean, is it

812
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: a good look for a player? No? You the best

813
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: ability is availability. That said, there are other abilities that

814
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: will Fuller has a whole boatload of them. First of

815
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: the guy like Tyler Eiffort or Jordan Read. These guys

816
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: that are consistently get beat up, you know, and that's

817
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: it's it's again something that when you know that's coming

818
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: and you know you're gonna be taking those chances. You

819
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: have to be ready to mitigate that risk, and sometimes

820
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: it means investing more heavily in a certain position. And

821
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if you're drafting with Shawn McCoy,

822
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: I hope it's not as a top two running back

823
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: on your He was my third and I still didn't

824
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: like it, right, don't feel good about it, you know.

825
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: So you talk about guys that that you may be

826
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: gravitating towards it, and a couple of guys that I

827
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: have been gravitating towards a lot of drafts have in

828
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk and Andy Isabella. And I'm just kind of

829
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: wondering because we all seem to love what Cliff Kingsbury

830
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: is bringing to Arizona, and everybody is hyped on Kyler

831
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: Murray and what he could do in this offense, and

832
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm seeing that David Johnson resurrection in terms of his

833
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: a DP. Why is it that it just it hasn't

834
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: seemed to catch up to guys like like Kirk or Fitzgerald.

835
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: Fitz Gerald, I guess, I guess I kind of get

836
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: mostly because of the age, But Isabelle, it seems like

837
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: those guys for all the hype around the Arizona offense,

838
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: it seems like those guys are coming with a relatively

839
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: inexpensive draft price right now. So yeah, I'm gonna tell

840
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: you Fitzgerald is one of those guys that I've been

841
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: diving in on, uh. And I mean it's easy to

842
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: forget where what one campaign removed from a three straight

843
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: hundred catch seasons. And I mean I think it's reasonable

844
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: for wonder is that the product of Fitzgerald getting older

845
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: or a horrible offense, you know, And I think it's

846
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: probably the horrible offense is the is the better answer.

847
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: So I think with all these guys, the thing that

848
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: you're liking, uh, is that the Cardinals went all in

849
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: on this. They got a coach, they got a quarterback,

850
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: they grafted a complimentary weapon, They brought in high speed guys,

851
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, both sides that beat in the hockey Butler

852
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: and just just feed in as well. So look, and

853
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: you know Kirk knows a little bit about the offense

854
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I'm you know, if you're reading the reports

855
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: now looking down the drinking straw that I tell you

856
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: you will hear everyone when they're not comparing him to

857
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes saying he knows the offense better than anyone

858
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: else on the team. And I think those things are

859
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: all encouraging, But I think the most encouraging aspect about this,

860
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: the thing that shouldn't be overlooked, is what the team did,

861
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: the investment they made, and I think we're forgetting Shawn

862
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: Johnson they drafted as an other wide receiver. They're putting

863
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 1: their money where their mouth is on this, from letting

864
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: go of the first round pick last year, firing a coach,

865
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: bringing in a new coach with a you know, with

866
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: a certainty for a certain reason, going out and getting

867
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: his quarterbacks. I mean, if nothing else, the fact that

868
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: the team is all in makes this more of interest

869
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: to me. And again, you know, not to get carried

870
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: away because we're a late quarterback drafters and I think

871
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: the world is coming to that point. But I'm okay

872
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: drafting Kyler Murray around before everyone starts thinking about doing

873
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: that and going back. And it's just it's something that

874
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: I did a few times successfully with Patrick Mahon's last year.

875
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: Maybe you've reached a little bit on that guy for

876
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: that upside, and you can do that because you're gonna

877
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 1: get Philip Rivers later last night. I got Cam Newton later.

878
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you can always get a good

879
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: quarterback late. We've learned that. I mean even at some point. Hell,

880
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, Derek Carlson plays with a lot of really

881
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: good guys, and I know I said the same thing

882
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: about the Eli Manning. If we thought all these guys

883
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: are gonna be great in New York, Eli man you'd

884
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: be great. It didn't work out there. But it's Derek

885
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: Carr's case. A quarterback who's going what ADP right now

886
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: or something ridiculous. I mean, there's a guy who, over

887
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: the first two seasons of his career, had more touchdowns

888
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: than any other quarterback not named Dan Marino. So I

889
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: mean it's not like he can't get the job done.

890
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: So I think when you're at that point of the draft,

891
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: you can make these gambles. But as for the Cardinals,

892
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: I think I'm willing to invest in the fact that

893
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: the team missed so all in on this and what's

894
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: the chip ball where they make? You mentioned Dan Marino

895
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: one of the one of the great quarterbacks back in

896
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: the day when fantasy football wasn't as popular as it

897
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: is now. He was the first player I ever drafted

898
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: in a fantasy football league. This is back in the

899
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: like the mid nineties, you know, before we knew all

900
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: this weight on the quarterbacks, and I thought I knew

901
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: what I was doing. He was the first player I

902
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: ever dried. So you didn't get like the for you. Yeah.

903
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: So speaking of quarterbacks, though, in our mock draft, you

904
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: took Andrew Luck in the ninth round, which seems ridiculous.

905
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: Remember this is a ten team league and he was

906
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: the first quarterback off the board. Um, Patrick Mahomes or

907
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: since Patrick Mahomes was drafted earlier. I think he was

908
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: in the third round. So we're seeing mox where like

909
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's getting picked in the last round, or Ben

910
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is not getting picked, or Kirk Cousins is not

911
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: getting picked. Is it time Cousins was the quarterback nine

912
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: last year? Everybody I know, you know, and we but

913
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,919
Speaker 1: we come away with this negative connotation because it wasn't

914
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: all it was supposed used to be given his lofty contract.

915
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: And I think that's the point is there are going

916
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 1: to be quarterbacks. If you're in a twelve man league,

917
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: you're going to get a good quarterback if you wait

918
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: until the last round or a serviceable quarterback or a

919
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: handful of quarterbacks, and you're gonna be able to stream

920
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: if something happens to your quarterbacks. And so I do

921
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: think you know that. I thought I saw you know

922
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the third round. Look in home leagues, that's

923
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: gonna be I mean, if he doesn't go soon or

924
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: people are gonna be drafting him. I think Andrew luck

925
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: is a pretty reasonable quarterback to to get and getting

926
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: him in a Round nine I felt really comfortable. I

927
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: think all the quarterbacks that went in round nine, I

928
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: would be pretty comfortable with Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson,

929
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: even Russell Wilson. Although Russell Wilson's efficiency last year, wondering

930
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: if he can carry that over, I'm wondering that same

931
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: thing about you know, obviously, Pat Mahomes. We all know

932
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: that the touchdown totals are gonna be hard for him

933
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: to hit again. Um, but I'm not gonna be in

934
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: the business to saying Pat Mohomes can't do anything after

935
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: last year. So I'm just gonna say I'm waiting a

936
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: little later. But for guys like that, I mean, those

937
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: are the questions you have to answer, I think guys

938
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: like Andrew Luckshaw on Watson or maybe a little safer place.

939
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: I love Matt Ryan too, going even later with start Cutter,

940
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: coming back in the guy he had his most success

941
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: with as offensive coordinator. So as a fantasy community, though,

942
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: considering the quarterbacks are so devalued, I mean, is it

943
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: time for for us to be pushing two QB leagues

944
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: as the norm or or at least scoring changes or

945
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: scoring changes are super flexed leagues because quarterbacks have become very,

946
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: very invaluable, are far less valuable than they were in

947
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: the past. I do. I think that is always the

948
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: answer when you know, when we find ourselves getting into

949
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: what like when you know, when I started playing and

950
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: you started playing in Nix or whatever you know you ground,

951
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it was all about the running backs. Well,

952
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: the game has changed, and the fantasy game has changed

953
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: to the point where we even added a point per

954
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: reception and that huge things a little bit and changed

955
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: up to the whole dynamic. Then we started throwing in

956
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: maybe tight end premiums. I think two quarterback leagues. I

957
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: love them. I playing a number of them. I'm drafting

958
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: in a math of one right now. Uh, with a

959
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: bunch of heavyweight to our I've almost said something horrible

960
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: there woman my tail, But I mean, I do like

961
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks thing, and I think you know that's

962
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: that does change the game a little bit, no matter

963
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: what the scoring is. Almost you're gonna see, you know,

964
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: teams with two quarterbacks after the fourth round. I think

965
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: you know that does change the dynamics noticeably, and I

966
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: find it very enjoyable. Awesome. Well, Bob, as always, we

967
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: appreciate your time, we appreciate your insight, and I don't know,

968
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: we'll find a new TV show that we can recap

969
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: here just to kind of keep you interested in listening

970
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: to our body. I'll watched the Deadwood movie about three

971
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: hundred times and that will probably fear me. Well, yeah,

972
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 1: I see, I haven't watched that series, and everyone says

973
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: it's so good. Um so some of the stuff that

974
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: I've watched, uh dead to me on Netflix is really good.

975
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,959
Speaker 1: I watched Chernobyl on HBO, which was really good. And

976
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: so they they just did three more episodes of Black

977
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 1: Mirror and all three of them were kind of bad,

978
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 1: but I means still worth watching. I didn't like anyone

979
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: of the three but there's some options for you if

980
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: you're really hurting well. I like to swear, and I

981
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: am a centimeter as so everyone who speak with me

982
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: not on a podcast knows my proclivity for the swear words. Yeah,

983
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. But also I heard I heard

984
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: that Your Noble was really good. But I'm waiting for

985
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: Marcus to find one of the series of my childhood

986
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: like he did with The night Stalker, which I think

987
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: was still one of the best things I saw on

988
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: the interwebs in recent years. Is up with that? I'll

989
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: have to go dig up, you know, see if I

990
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: can dig up an old TV showed I can do

991
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: from Zimbolist Jr. I'll have to. I'll have to look

992
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: into this. I will look into Hey, Bob, appreciate it, man,

993
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 1: take care. We'll talk to you soon. Thanks. Thanks, Thanks

994
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: to Bob harris Ford stopping by. Always fun to talk

995
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: to Bob and just go check out his work if

996
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: you haven't already, go go check him out. He's a

997
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: great follow on Twitter. A fun guy, really smart at

998
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: this fantasy stuff, has been doing it for absolutely ever. Um.

999
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of weeks ago on this show,

1000
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: we talked about the forty yards of goal, the the

1001
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: the racing thing with all the players, Um, you know,

1002
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: who knows if that actually is going to happen, because

1003
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure teams don't want their guys out there running

1004
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: or anything like this. But other challenges on the internet

1005
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: that may or may not happen that are sort of

1006
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: fun and interesting. Uh you were telling me this justin

1007
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: Bieber called out Tom Cruise and wanted to Yeah, like

1008
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: I'd like to see it. I mean, why the hell not?

1009
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: That would be kind of fun. I think crews would

1010
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: mop the floor with older than don't care. And I

1011
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: think he's insane though how like old he is what

1012
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: he looks like he looks it's insane. And you would

1013
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 1: think that over the years with all of these movies

1014
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: that Tom Cruise has done, that he's picked up you know,

1015
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: a few moves, do stunts, which I think like he

1016
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: likes being a physical like specimen like he does like

1017
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: he is a guy that wants to do physical activity.

1018
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: So I think he would win despite him having a

1019
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: severe height advantage. So at it, yeah, because his Cruise

1020
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: is like I mean, he might be shorter than me.

1021
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: He's like five five. Oh, I gotta beat I got

1022
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: Why why did he like? Why did Bieber challenge him

1023
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: in the first place? I don't even know. I don't

1024
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: even know if anyone knows I have I have no idea.

1025
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: So so, so here's here's a funny thing, right, I

1026
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: saw this on the internet. I was talking about it

1027
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: before the show. So which celebrity would you challenge to

1028
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: a fight? Who's thirty one years older than you? Now,

1029

Speaker 1: younger man. I'm I'm I'm an older guy. One not older,

Speaker 1: but you know I'm I'm I'm on the back nine.

00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,400

00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 1: didn't really count. Yeah, you can't you can't fight, can't.

00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: You can't fight the dead. So that that Reggie Jackson,

1071
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if i'd find Reggie Jackson.

1072
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: I'm not sure i'd find Reggie jacks legend. You know. Um,

1073
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: I googled actors, so my I fight a fifty eight

Speaker 1: year old actor, and uh there's I think mine wins

1075
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: just because of name value. I would fight Eddie Murphy

1076
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely that. I mean that fight sells itself, Eddie

1077
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: Murphy verse Eddie Murphy. But I have George Clooney. Uh,

1078

1083
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: on there I think you're gonna take Sean Penn's not

1084
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: one of them. I want to see this size though.

1085
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: If I if I have Sean Penn by quite a bit,

1086
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna But Sean Penn has he's got that psycho.

1087
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: He's only five eight though, he's got he's gotta inches

1088
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: on him. I don't know, man, the marbles maybe a

1089
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: little off there. It's true. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You

1090
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: don't want to fight crazy people, man, Yeah, you don't

1091
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: want to do that. It's not he's like five eight under,

1092
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's like a Katie five. I got him

1093
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: by hide and wait. I don't know. I take my chances,

1094
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: but I agree what you're saying that the crazy factor

1095
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: is something scary, but the Eddie Mury verse Eddie Murphy

1096
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: would be I mean, I don't know if I want to.

1097
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to fight him, though I wanted to

1098
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: just like shake his hand, be like, yeah, you know,

1099
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: I go through life disappointing a lot of people that

1100
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: my name that I share your name said that that

1101
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: fight that sells itself. Man like it just it really does.

1102
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: Um before get out of here our pole for the week. Um.

1103
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: So the the Warriors and Raptors playing games six tomorrow nights. Uh,

1104
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: it's the last game ever for the Warriors at Oracle Arena,

1105
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: which you know, as somebody who grew up in the

1106
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: Bay Area wants a lot of Warriors games there. It

1107
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: is kind of bittersweet. Um, you know, regardless of how

1108
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: that game goes, it'll be the final game there. But

1109
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: it didn't make me think if the Raptors win, that

1110
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: might be the end of the Drake curse, right, I

1111
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: mean he kind of he kind of used it to

1112
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: his advantage when the Eastern Conference Finals wearing the Sixers

1113
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: shorts and Kawhi Leonard makes the shot the Raptors when

1114
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: they go to the finals. So this might be the

1115
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: end of it. But it made me think of what

1116
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: is maybe the biggest or most powerful sports curse that

1117
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: is still in existent, right, I mean, because the Curse

1118
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,479
Speaker 1: of the Bambinos over the Curse of the Billy Goat

1119
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: ended with the Cubs winning a World series. So the

1120
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: ones that may or may not still be in play, right,

1121
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: the Drake curse, Uh, the s I cover Jinks, although

1122
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: some people say that that's maybe has faded. Uh, the

1123
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: Madden cover Jinks, which again is is still up for

1124
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: debate whether or not that exists. Uh. And then you know,

1125
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: for for us Twitter rap fans a little be the

1126
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: based god who goes on Twitter and they basically will say,

1127
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, he will curse people, and he's cursed James

1128
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: Harden and Chris Paul Uh. And that's part of the

1129
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: reason I think the Rockets can't really get anywhere in

1130
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Um, you know, and he will. On the

1131
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: other side, you will also bless people too, so that

1132
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: that gives you know, you get little bis blessing and

1133
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: you can kind of move forward. That one seems to

1134
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: kind of still be enduring. So those are the four

1135
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: I came up with. Always open to other suggestions. Um,

1136
00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: if you guys have any of you want to hit

1137
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: us up on two it or with suggestions as well. Uh.

1138
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: Do we have the last week's the overwhelming winner. I mean,

1139
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could guess where who won on that

1140
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: one by a lot, right, and then we all kind

1141
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: of said, here, I'm trying what what it was? It

1142
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 1: was Ryan Fitzpatrick the Jeopardy Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah,

1143
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: I'll give my vote for this. I love this one.

1144
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: The Madden curse is something that people my age like

1145
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: growing up with because like Madden used to be on

1146
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: the cover himself and then they started adding him. I

1147
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: mean people still say, like in terms of the season,

1148
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: who broke it was Megatron, but then he kind of

1149
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: retired early, so it's like kind of Gerald, I think

1150
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: kind of breaking. Gerald kind of did too, what people said,

1151
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: because like they lost the Super Bowl and uh like

1152
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: so it's like a half curse thing with them. And

1153
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: I know Paul he shared the cover with That's right,

1154
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: So it's it is. It is crazy, though, like I

1155
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: used to write columns about it, Like I mean, I mean,

1156
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: this is my twentieth year doing fantasy coverage, and I

1157
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: used to write columns about it, like every year without fail,

1158
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 1: I did it, and you know back in the day,

1159
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 1: like like Eddie, George, Dante, Culpepper, Michael Vick, Marshall Falk.

1160
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to go through some of the names,

1161
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: like its like every damn season, like I don't think

1162
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: it affected ray Lewis. I think McNabb was on there. Um.

1163
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: What I think is random though, because you have all

1164
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: the guys who were on mad and covers, right, and

1165
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: all of them were really pretty big stars. You got

1166
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 1: to win year with Peyton Paton Hills, you know that

1167
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: was that was guaranteed, Like there was a regression was guaranteed.

1168
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: There was no way I was dropping Peyton Hillis that

1169
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: Vince Young was on it? Um? Yeah? Now, like I

1170
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: mean literally you can see like you can make a

1171
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: case from all these are the guys to be like

1172
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: who's well covered? Like I wish I was in the

1173
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: boardroom of like the people at e A who were

1174
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: just like all right, like that year, who was like

1175
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: who do it? Who wanted Peyton Hillis? Like who is

1176
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: in Payton hills is camp? That was like we gotta

1177
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: get this guy in the cover. I'm sure And after

1178
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: the season there was definitely a player who was way

1179
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: better than Payton Hillis to be on that that cover.

1180
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: Like Breeze was on there too. I don't remember if

1181
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: that was the year that the Saints. He remember he

1182
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: had like a lot of interceptions that that following season,

1183
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:07,760
Speaker 1: But I don't know that it was. It was horrible,

1184
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean this thing like it had it

1185
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,919
Speaker 1: had endured season after season after season, and people were

1186
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: afraid of it. And then you know, they started going

1187
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: with the defensive players. I think Richard Sherman was on

1188
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: it one year, um and and then now we're kind

1189
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 1: of I mean Gronkowski was on it when h so

1190
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,760
Speaker 1: he sent some injuries like there were kind of loosely

1191
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 1: besides really Tom Brady, every every guy in the cover.

1192
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: I mean, what Diddrew anything happen with Drew Brees and

1193
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: I guess that he had he had a bunch of

1194
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 1: ticks that year they lost the seven nine. He had

1195
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: the Frenchise picks. Yeah, used cursed. So yeah, I mean

1196
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: it really besides Brady, everyone has a loose kind of

1197
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: way they were cursed, like with Odell being traded kind

1198
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 1: of in a weird and like Gronk but the injuries

1199
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: retiring early Sherman lost the Super Bowl. Like there's a

1200
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: lot of weirdness of Mahomes is on it right now.

1201
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: My homes Like the Homes is the guaranteed regression. I

1202
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: don't care if he's not gonna throw exactly like he's

1203
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: coming off the best season ever, like for a fantasy quarterback.

1204
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 1: We don't know about Tyreek Hill. So like that one,

1205
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: you can't release, say if I mean, unless he gets

1206
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: hurt like really bad, but don't short of him like

1207
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: you know, throwing thirty picks or something like that. Like

1208
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean if he if he comes out and he

1209
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: throws you know, thirty five touchdowns and like you know,

1210
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: eight or ten picks, like that doesn't count, Like that's

1211
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: not what happens if like, um, a lot of people

1212
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: are really high in the charges. Let's say the Chargers
