1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, and everybody. It is Wednesday, March two. Welcome 2 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we are not 3 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: making Ginny j to Pinkett Smith jokes. I'm your rand 4 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: MG Marcus Grant alongside Michael F. Floria. We got Randy 5 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: at the controls uh, and we finally get a break 6 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: from news man. It's been it's been two weeks of NonStop, 7 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: just mind blowing news and I think now the the 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: NFL is ready to stop and take a break. I 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: say that, and I know something's going to happen, but 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: at least pronounce seems like everything's willing to kind of 11 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: stop and take a breath, which I guess it is good. 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: We can find of like watch some baseball for a 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm not gonna lie. I was kind of 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: shocked that the NFL let the Oscars have their day. 15 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: Like I thought like something huge was going to happen 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: at that, and I guess it kind of did, but 17 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't football related. It was not football related, right, 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: so like the you know that would have been interesting, right, 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: Like I feel like the the Will Smith Chris Rock 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: moment would have overshadowed maybe anything the that that the 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: NFL could have done, right, like short of what Tom 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: Brady walking up like, I feel like that would have 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: that would have taken over everything. So we found something 24 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: that that can upstage the NFL. And all it takes is, 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, maybe the biggest movie star in the world 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: slapping somebody else slapping another very famous person. So all right, 27 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: let's let's talk about we got some news, talk about 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: there are some still some free agents out there. We 29 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: can sort of kind of dive into what may happen 30 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: though some of those guys. Plus will play a round 31 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: up hype train or smoke screen. After the last two 32 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: weeks of being really heavy shows, uh, this week probably 33 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: be a bit of a shorter show. So hopefully it 34 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: fits in the course of your commute and you don't 35 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: have to break it up over a couple of drives. 36 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: Let's start with some news. The Chiefs making a couple 37 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: of moves in the last week. They signed Ronald Jones. Uh, 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: they signed Marquez Valdez Scantling. Uh. That's obviously in the 39 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: wake of the Tyree Hill trade to Miami, which we 40 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: did get into last week. But let's start with Ronald 41 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: Jones here, right, because it seemed a foregone conclusion he 42 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: wasn't going to come back to Tampa. Um. You know, 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: he and Bruce arians just never could seem to see 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: eye to eye on things like playing time and ball 45 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: security and whatever else there in Tampa. So now he 46 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: goes to Kansas City, where Clyde Edwards Laire has been underwhelming, 47 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: to say the least. That's probably putting it mildly. He 48 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: has not been what we expected him to be. Um 49 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones shows that he can be a lead running back, 50 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: but maybe not a true workhorse. But my first thought 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: was when I saw this, was that I don't know 52 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: that I want any part of the Kansas City backfield 53 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: right now with those two guys sitting there. I don't 54 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: know if you've found another way to sort of make 55 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: heads your tails of it, But at the moment, I 56 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: feel kind of hands off with this thing. I'm the 57 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: exact same way I'm was excited for c H when 58 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: he got drafted. It didn't happen as a rookie, it 59 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: didn't happen in a year two. I'm kind of on 60 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: the like, he's just a guy. At this point, I think, uh, 61 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: and then Ronald Jones, I mean, we're four years into 62 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: his career. It hasn't happened yet. I understand he's shown 63 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 1: flashes and like you said, Bruce Ayen's kind of hated him. 64 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: For me, this is a battle of like whose Twitter 65 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: hive is gonna win out because there's definitely a c 66 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: ch hive, and I feel like there's a Ronald Jones 67 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: one as well. My my approach has either been similar 68 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: to yours, Marcus, where I'm like, I don't really want 69 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: either of them, or it always depends on price, Like 70 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: if one of them is going significantly cheaper than that 71 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: will probably be the one that I end up drafting 72 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: more than the other. Yeah, I mean, I think that's 73 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: probably fair. I just I'm curious to see how they 74 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: they sort of break this thing down. Um, in terms 75 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: of of the roles in the backfield, you know who's 76 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: gonna be the lead guy, who's gonna be the third 77 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: down back who cheches the most passes? I assume Edward 78 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: Hilaire is going to be the past catcher. I guess 79 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: the other part of this though, is, um, you know 80 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: what about Jerick McKinnon, right, because he could end up 81 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: being the fly in the appointment. He's a free agent. 82 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: Right now, there's no you know, there's nothing that says 83 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: he can't come back to Kansas City. Uh, and really 84 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: kind of really screw this up. Um. I just I'm 85 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: trying to look right now and see who what are 86 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: the what are the a dps? Right now, Ronald Jones 87 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: has a ninth round a DP. This is on on 88 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Calculator. Um Clyde Edwards A Laire is going 89 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: in the fourth round. I'll take Ronald Jones all day 90 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: at that discrepancy. And my opinion has been Ronald. Look, 91 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: the one thing Ronald Jones is bad at his past protection. 92 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: So my thinking has been c H is going to 93 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: get a lot of the third down work, a lot 94 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: of the passing game usage. I don't think they're gonna 95 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: fully take him out of the ground game though, either, 96 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: so I could see it being like a split on 97 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: the ground. Maybe Ronald Jones gets like six of the 98 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: carries to but I think the passing game is gonna 99 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: be a lot of c H. So I think this 100 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: is just gonna be And if they signed Jack McKinnon, 101 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: it's a hard out for me on all of them, 102 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: but I think this is gonna be a more annoying backfield. Like, 103 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: I think it'll be productive, but week by week I 104 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: don't know if there'll be much rhyme or reason. Yeah, 105 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: I just like I said, I I right now I'm 106 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: sort of feeling hands off about it. Maybe once we 107 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: get to August we'll get a little more clarity, but 108 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: right now, it just it just seems kind of like 109 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: a bad situation for fantasy. I'm sure Andy Reid will 110 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: make it work for the actual Chiefs offense. For us, uh, 111 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: it just seems like kind of a mess right now. 112 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: On the other side, MVS now goes to Kansas City. Um, 113 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: the only real similarities that he has with Tyreek Hill 114 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: is that MVS is fast. Um, maybe not as fast 115 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: as Tyreek which side note, I don't know if he sat. 116 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill says he wants to race Jalen Waddle, I 117 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: would pay money to watch this. I would pay money 118 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: to basically watch Tyreek Hill race anyone like pretty much 119 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: he most it's there too. He's very fast. I mean, 120 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: let's let's have them raise The only like that to 121 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: me of a Pro Bowl that was the most disappointing 122 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: thing was Tyreek didn't actually run in his race because 123 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: he's so like, I just want to see other people 124 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: try to run faster than Tyreek Hill. Yeah. No, I'm 125 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: totally done with that. So but Marcus Valdes Scantling, a 126 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: guy who can be a field stretcher, can kind of 127 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: be a deep threat there obviously does not give you, 128 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: uh the same sort of production potential that Tyreek Hill does. Um. 129 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I know we're not We're not drafting 130 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: MVS as anything more than you know, kind of a 131 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: depth ad. I would think, unless unless maybe you feel differently, 132 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: does does he get a boost in value being with 133 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes? Uh? Maybe? Like it's not like he 134 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: has a huge quarterback upgrade. He's coming from playing with 135 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and he was on a team that had 136 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: one clear cut top target. So I we have to 137 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: stop whenever someone fast ends up on the Chiefs. We 138 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: have to stop being like, oh, this guy could do 139 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: what Tyree Hill. Like when Tyree Kill got traded, people 140 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: like well Mi Cole Hardman season with like the eye Emogen, 141 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: It's like stopped like Tyreek Hill is Tyreek Hill for 142 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: a reason. MVS to me, though, is someone like an 143 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: early best ball drafts I like throwing a late round 144 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: flyer on him because I think he could have a 145 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: couple of big weeks. I think it'll be a little 146 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 1: bit more and predictable, so best better for best ball. Um. 147 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: But I don't think they're done. They got two first 148 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: round picks, they got multiple second round picks, like I 149 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: expect them to add at least one, maybe multiple receivers 150 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: in the draft. And Will Fuller continues to be out 151 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: there man like, like he could have been the field 152 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: stretcher for them, you know. I mean we keep talking about, hey, 153 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: a fast guy joined the Chiefs, as though Mikole Hardman 154 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: didn't run a four three you know at the combine. Um, 155 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: he is also fast. So speed is not the issue. 156 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: It's about whether or not a guy can make plays, 157 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: and and Tyreek Hill can and look, I think I 158 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: believe Jeff Radcliffe pointed this out too, that yes, as 159 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: much as we talk about Hill speed and how he 160 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: can make big plays, um, a lot of his success 161 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: came with just you know, after the catch, to just 162 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: get him the ball in space, letting him make plays, 163 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: just kind of getting it. And I won't say you 164 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: using him as a gadget guy, because that wasn't it 165 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: but you know Moore, it's kind of a shorter intermediate 166 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: threat and allowing him to kind of make some plays. Now, 167 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: at the same time, defense has had to play back. 168 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: They had to respect his speed, and that was what 169 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: opened things up for Travis Kelsey. So then I guess 170 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: that's the next question. Does Marquez Valdes Scantling do enough 171 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: to sort of allow Travis Kelsey to stay in the 172 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: same role. Does he do enough to help Juju Smith 173 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: Schuster be a slot receiver? And I don't I don't 174 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: know that that is the case. Ship. I don't know. 175 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: The defenses have to respect m vs the same way 176 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: they did Tyreek Hill, and I think that really maybe 177 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: condenses the field. If I'm a defense you know I'm not. 178 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not worried about Marquez Valdes Scantling the 179 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: same way was Tyreek Hill. And now it means I 180 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: can pay more attention to Travis Kelsey, I can pay 181 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: more attention to Juju Smith Schuster. It's just really changes 182 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: the way this offense goes next year. Yeah, I I 183 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: completely agree. I think you go from being we cannot 184 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: let Tyreek Hill beat us, and to your point, I 185 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: think Tyreek hills speed kind of makes everyone underestimate how 186 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: good Tyreek Hill is that every other part of being 187 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: a receiver, Like he's a great route runner, he can 188 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: make contested catches, he's awesome all around. But all you 189 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: ever hear about is his speed MVS. It's better to 190 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: have him than to not because if you didn't have him, 191 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: now there's it's Nicole Hardman, really and that's it. But no, 192 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: no defense is gonna fear mvs like they did Tyreek Hill. 193 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if teams start bracketing 194 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, putting their best defender on Juju and it's like, okay, Mahomes, 195 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: go beat us with mvs, Like we're giving you that 196 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: one on one shot down field. Like it's just completely 197 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: different than a Tyreek Hill. So um, I think I 198 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: think you're right there. I think the Chiefs are probably 199 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: not done at wide receiver. I think, you know, I'm 200 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: curious to see what what they do in the draft 201 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: if they go after one of these these big receivers, 202 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: and we will start to kind of dive into that 203 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: as well in the weeks to come. I've been kind 204 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: of chatting with our pal Matt Kada. I know he 205 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: has started to dive in and do some of his 206 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: wide receiver evaluations, so very much looking forward to kind 207 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: of getting him on the show and getting his thoughts 208 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: on some of these guys too, and seeing if maybe 209 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: Kansas City can't uh snagging two of them. Um over 210 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: to New Orleans where they seem to have their quarterback 211 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: situation set up. They resigned Jameis Winston recently, not a 212 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: huge surprise there, but they also bring in Andy Dalton 213 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: to be their backup quarterback. Now, normally I wouldn't particularly 214 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: care about Andy Dalton being a backup other than he's 215 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: just kind of a notable name, except that with him 216 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: as the quarterback too. In New Orleans, head coach Dennis 217 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: Allen says that Taysom Hill is going to focus on 218 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: playing tight end um, which makes my believe, if not 219 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: the highest paid tight end, one of the highest paid 220 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: tight ends UH in the NFL. I guess my first 221 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: question is, would you draft Taysom Hill as a tight end? No? 222 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: I think there's too many, and we say this every year, 223 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: but there's too many, like upside tight ends late like 224 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: that I feel better about, but it's hilarious to me 225 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: that it took one month of Sean Paynton being gone 226 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: and they have a new backup quarterback in there that 227 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: they're paying a good amount like Tastoms. Now with tight 228 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: End everything changed. The only thing I'm hoping for with 229 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: tight End taste him is that they just get creative, 230 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: man like, let this guy throw some passes, Like, just 231 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: just use him like the chess piece that he is, 232 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: because if you just try to make him a regular 233 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: tight end, it's I don't think it's gonna work. I 234 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna work either. I do think he 235 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: has to kind of be more of a gadget guy. 236 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: But like, you know, is he I mean, you know, 237 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: how was he as an inline blocker? Can he help 238 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: in the run game or is he gonna be Is 239 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: it gonna be that thing where when Tastom Hill steps 240 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: on the field, you're like, all right, let's watch out 241 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: for whatever whatever is gonna be coming. Um. Yeah, it's 242 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: funny cause I think I think the the interest in 243 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: Tastom Hill previously in fantasy was because he had that 244 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: orderback potential where he could catch the ball. Uh, he 245 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: might run the ball for a touchdown, but could also 246 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: you know, throw a touchdown potentially. Um. I think Tayston 247 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: Hill is a straight tight end, has very little interest 248 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: in fantasy. But the other part of this is so 249 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: so now they seem to have some pieces set. We 250 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: know Alvin Kimara is there, we know Jamis is the quarterback. 251 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: I guess Taysom is the tight end. Michael Thomas is back. 252 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: I would say back in January that I was not 253 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: excited about the Saints offense. Now I feel a little 254 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: bit better. I don't I don't know if it's gonna 255 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: necessarily be a juggernaut, but it doesn't look as awful 256 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: as it did. Losing Toronto. Armston is gonna be a 257 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: big deal. You can't lose a guy like that off 258 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: your offensive line and not have it impact your team. 259 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: But at least at the skill position, there seems to 260 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: kind of be something there. Are you feeling better about 261 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: what you're seeing there in New Orleans? Are you feeling 262 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: better about maybe album Kmaro being back stay in the 263 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: top five of running backs too. I kind of feel 264 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: very similar to how I felt last season, like I 265 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: don't have Alvin Camaro in my top five running backs, 266 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: but I have him in my top ten, So I'll 267 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: take him in like the second half of the first round. 268 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, I mean in early drafts, this guy, you 269 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: can get him in the sixth, seventh round. I'm all 270 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: about taking that shot there. Besides those two, there's nothing 271 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: really that excites me in this offense. So Jamis is 272 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: a good real life quarterback for for Camara, for Michael Thomas, 273 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: because we know that he'll lock in on his top 274 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: guys and and just put the ball there even if 275 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of room. But he doesn't run. 276 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: He's not gonna put up huge passing numbers. So for fantasy, 277 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: he's not really someone that I'm like super excited to 278 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: have on my roster. But Michael Thomas, I think is 279 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: the big one here because does he want to be 280 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: in New Orleans or not? I can't figure it out 281 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: because he said he did. But then like the Shawn 282 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: Watson signed with the with the Browns and Michael Thomas 283 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: like immediately was like, yeah, I don't blame him, and 284 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, what you were the other team that he 285 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: was considered ring Like like that to me is a 286 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: bad sign. So I don't know if Thomas is gonna 287 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: be there or not. But I will say I'm I'm 288 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: excited for Michael Thomas returning wherever he plays, especially because 289 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: it feels like people forgot that this guy was not 290 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: only a wide receiver one. He was the wide receiver 291 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: one the last time we saw him healthy on the field. 292 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: I understand it was a couple of years ago, but 293 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm not ready to write Michael Thomas off. So if 294 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: we're getting a big discount, you could sign Neil. I mean, 295 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: so again, I'm kind of just you know, going along 296 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: in a fantasy football calculator. He's going early fourth round. Now, 297 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: mind you, I mean there's still I think a limited 298 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: number of people drafting, but this is a guy that 299 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: caught nearly a hundred and fifty passes a couple of seasons, 300 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: go back in nineteen. Um, you know, obviously it was 301 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: a different offense than you had Drew Brees as the quarterback, 302 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: and and you know it's kind of late season, late 303 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,359 Speaker 1: career Drew who maybe wasn't as much of a downfield 304 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,239 Speaker 1: thrower as we saw earlier in his career. But um, 305 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: you know, I think if he falls beyond the fourth roud, 306 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: I think fourth round. It makes me a little nervous 307 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: right now, just because I don't know what we're getting. 308 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: But if he if he falls a little bit, I 309 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: think I consider that, as you mentioned, Jami's not really 310 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: on the radar. He right now is the quarterback three 311 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: behind Zack Wilson. Um I would take him over Wilson. 312 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: I think I take him over to Jack Wilson right now, 313 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: but he's behind Zach Wilson at the moment. Again, maybe 314 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: you're just waiting for some other folks to sort of 315 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: log on and start drafting. I mean, the only the 316 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: only real question is where people are gonna take Alvin Kamara. 317 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: I was sort of worried about him, but at least 318 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: with jamis there Michael Thomas back, maybe I'm a little 319 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: bit more still in on on Alvin Kamara. I think 320 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: his days of top five might be might like of 321 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: him getting drafted top five might be done. But he's 322 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: still I would imagine going to go in the first round. Yeah, 323 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if he falls out of the first round. 324 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: I just I don't see that happening at all. UM 325 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: In San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan says he has quote read 326 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: for trade Lance to be the starter sooner rather than later. Um. 327 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: But at the same time that I under stay they 328 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: don't plan to cut Jimmy Garoppolo if they can't figure 329 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: out a trade situation, it would appear that the any 330 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: potential trade partners are sort of dried up. For the moment, 331 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: it looks like the game of quarterback musical chairs has ended. 332 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: And at the moment it's uh, it's Jimmy Garoppolo and 333 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield standing without chairs. And so we'll see what happens. 334 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: But uh, with with this news and we'll play hype 335 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: trainer smoke screen a little bit later on in this show. Um, 336 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: does this give you any confidence and ranking and or 337 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: drafting trade lance knowing that you know it sounds like 338 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: the Niners are ready to put him in as their starter. Yeah. 339 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: So maybe this is a mistake on my part, But 340 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: I have never once thought that Jimmy g would be 341 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for the forty Niners next year. Like 342 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: even when he had them a player two away from 343 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I was like, cool, he's gonna win 344 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: them the super Bowl and then get traded. That'll be 345 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: awkward because I don't see how they can justify benching 346 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: Trey Lance another season. They think like he played one 347 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: game in in college because of of the COVID nineteen 348 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: and then he played two games he made one half 349 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: and that played one half, and then had one start 350 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: this year, I believe if I'm remembering correctly, so basically 351 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: has red shirted now two years in a row, and 352 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: the knock on him coming out of college was, well, 353 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: he only had one year as a starter, so I 354 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: don't see how you can justify sitting him another year. 355 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: And then it's like three years in a row. This 356 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: guy hasn't played football, and now we're gonna after using 357 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: the third overall pick and trading up to get that 358 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: third overall pick to get him. Like to me, it 359 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: always felt like, um, I thought they were gonna make 360 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: the change mid season this year, but they played really well, 361 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: they went on that run. It has felt like that 362 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: was it for Jimmy g at least in my opinion. 363 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be on their roster. Even if 364 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: they can't, I think they're gonna find a trade partner. 365 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: I think someone will get hurt or something like that 366 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: will happen and then they'll they'll make a trade that way. 367 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: But I'm confident in ranking Trey Lance is a QB 368 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: one and in drafting him as such. Yeah, I think 369 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen is I think we're gonna go into 370 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: camp and they will both be there. Um. But you know, 371 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: I think we will inevitably have a quarterback injury because 372 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: it happens every single year, and that's when the Niners 373 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: will find a trade partner, somebody willing uh to kind 374 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: of take on Garoppolo, um, just because they're gonna need 375 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: the help. I think the way I looked at it 376 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: with Trey Lance is there were maybe maybe two guys 377 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: that I think the Niners would have been willing to 378 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: sit Lance another year for uh, if they somehow would 379 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: have gotten Aaron Rodgers and and or if Tom Brady 380 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: decided he want to come back and play for the 381 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: forty Niners. I think those are the only two guys 382 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: that they would have said, Okay, you know that trade, 383 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: you're gonna sit another year. In way it because as 384 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: you mentioned, they gave up some assets to move up 385 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,239 Speaker 1: to get him at number three. Overall, Um, you know, 386 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: you only have a limited window on this rookie contract 387 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: to see what you have with him, and they've already 388 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: sort of wasted a year of that? Would they wasted? 389 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: But they have missed a year of that. Um, you know, 390 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 1: I can't say you wasted a year when you get 391 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship game, you know, it's it's not 392 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: a wasted year necessarily, but they did lose a year 393 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: of that. So um, I think at some point they're 394 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to kind of go with him. It seems 395 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: like that is going to be the It seems like 396 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: that's what the Niners were talking about, what Kyle Shanahan 397 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: is talking about. And so, um, I just I said 398 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: it before and I'm gonna come back to this. I 399 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: just have this feeling that Trey Lance is going to give, 400 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: at least fantasy wise, give us sort of Jalen Hurts 401 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: vibes where it might not always be pretty, there may 402 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: be some rough days in there, but somehow you're gonna 403 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: look up at the end of the day that's gonna 404 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: have twenty points. Uh, either because he ran for you know, 405 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: ninety yards in a touch down or maybe he had 406 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: a good day throwing the football. Um, but it just 407 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: sort of feels like that. And so, UM, I don't 408 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: know where do you have like, where do you have 409 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: him ranked like ten, eleven, twelve, somewhere around there. Yeah, 410 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: I believe in my he was about ten for me, 411 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: and like I had him over like Matt Stafford. I 412 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: actually had him just ahead of Jalen Hurts because my 413 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: thinking is he's a lot like Jalen Hurts, but with 414 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: better playmakers and a better play caller. So I'm gonna 415 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: give him the benefit of the doubt because every year 416 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy g is if he doesn't lead the league, he's 417 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: top two or three in like most passing yards picked 418 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: up on the ground because he just basically has to 419 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: dump it off to Debo where Kiddle and let those 420 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: guys do their thing. Trey Lance could do that, and 421 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: then Trey Lance could also break out a better deep 422 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: ball than Jimmy G has. So I think the upside, 423 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: like I'm not ranking him as it, but I think 424 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: he as a first year starter would bring top five 425 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 1: upside because of what he can do in this offense 426 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: and with his legs. Does this hurt say Deebo Samuel 427 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: at all or Brandon Ayouk at all with a quarterback 428 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: who you don't like it, or Eli Mitchell maybe with 429 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: with a quarterback who instead of You know, we talked 430 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: about Matt Ryan, righthen Matt Ryan gets in trouble, he's 431 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: probably gonna dump it off with the running back because 432 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: he's not gonna he's not gonna make people miss Tree. 433 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: Lance shouldn't do that. Does that hurt some of those 434 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: guys in terms of getting some of those short catches? 435 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: I think it does, Like it's why, but like see, 436 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: I'm still ranking Debo with all of the elite receivers. 437 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: I just have him last of that group. The same 438 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: thing with George Kittle with the elite tight ends. I 439 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: have him last because new play, new offensive coordinator, new quarterback. Uh, 440 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: there's just some unknowns there that I don't think we'll 441 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: really be able to answer until we see them play. 442 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: I think Ayuk maybe is the one that I ding 443 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: the most just because he's not elite um and he's 444 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: not going to get like a target share like a 445 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel. My My favorite development though of the last 446 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: couple of months markets is every team thinks they have 447 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: a Debo on their rocker, and it's like only one 448 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: team has that guy. The rest of you could try, 449 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: but you don't have them. Seriously, everybody's not trying to 450 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: find the next Deebo Samuel. It's like, you know, it 451 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: just kind of really only one. Um, you know, I 452 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: don't know, go you have to figure out something else 453 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: because that's just not gonna happen. Um. There are still 454 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: a few notable names that are out there, are still 455 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: in free agency. Kind of talked about the quarterbacks Baker Mayfield, 456 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: Jior Roppolo. Technically neither one of them is a free agent, 457 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: but they are both in situations where they're sort of 458 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: not wanted by their current teams and kind of hanging 459 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: out in limbo. Um, do you expect one or either 460 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: of these guys to be starting somewhere else in Week 461 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: one next year? Yes, I I think. Look, Baker Mayfield, 462 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: if you're the Browns right now, he kind of has 463 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: you held hostage because you can't pay him eighteen and 464 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: a half million dollars to be your backup quarterback after 465 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: what you've given Shaun Watson. You just can't. So they're 466 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to trade him. But other teams know that, 467 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: so they're not gonna take on that full salary. I 468 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if the Browns pay him like half 469 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: or even more of his salary or if they just 470 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: outright cut him. But I continue to believe that Baker 471 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: Mayfield will play for the Seattle Seahawks next year. Um, 472 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: it's just the destination that makes the most sense. I 473 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: don't believe in Drew Lock. Um. I think Baker Mayfield 474 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: is better than Drew Lock. And I think this is 475 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: a Seahawks team that's kind of in limbo. I don't 476 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: think Pete Carroll wants to fully invest in the rebuild. 477 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: So I think you could like convince yourself that you 478 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: can win with Baker Mayfield. UM, and Jimmy Gs just 479 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: not gonna get traded in division, So I think that 480 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: kind of leaves Baker is the only option for Seattle. Um. 481 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: Could you imagine a competition between Drew Lock and Baker 482 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: Mayfield where like Trew Lock somehow wins out. That would 483 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: be amazing. It would Drew Lock is more fun. I guess, 484 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: like he's on the sideline rapping and stuff. That's cool. 485 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: But I don't know though. They're both quarterbacks that I 486 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: think are like traps. Yeah, I think so. Um. Speaking 487 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: of which, and I just this sort of popped up today. 488 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: I know that the Pete Carroll was quoted as saying 489 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,239 Speaker 1: we have no intention of trading DK Metcalf. That had 490 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: been the rumor, so pet saying there's no intention of 491 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 1: trading DK Metcalf, and he tweet I saw it was 492 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: just littered with the comments saying basically something the effect though, 493 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: Pizza the same thing about Russell Wilson that we have 494 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: no intention of trading Russell Wilson. And now Russell's a Bronco. 495 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: So I feel like if if they trade DK, just 496 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: blow up the offense like there's no there's nothing there. 497 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess Tyler Lockett is still there, but 498 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: if there's that is sort of unfair, right, so we 499 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: kind of leave him in purgatory there with either Drew 500 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: lock or Baker Mayfield or whomever else might be the 501 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: quarterback there. Um, I mean, that's that's an offense. I'm 502 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: all the way out on I DK is traded. Yeah, 503 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm already like right now, I don't think I'm gonna 504 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: have a bunch of of d K. Maybe lock it 505 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: his ADP takes a hit, a pretty big one, but 506 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: I think d K is such a physical specimen that 507 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: people are gonna easily talk themselves into taking him as 508 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: like a high end wide receiver two or something like that. 509 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: And I for me, I think with Seattle, it's kind 510 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: of the running back and that's it. Uh yeah, and 511 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: that or some of that running back is Rashad Penny 512 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I I keep thinking that they're gonna 513 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: cut Chris Carson, like I think they have out after 514 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: June one, and like the way that they're talking about 515 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: him and his recovery. I get it that they love him. 516 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: He's a Pete Carroll guy, but like, this is football, 517 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,479 Speaker 1: it's a very physical sport and this is a player 518 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: that has a very serious neck injury. Like I wouldn't 519 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: be surprised if we've seen the last of Chris Carson. Unfortunately, 520 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: but with the money he's owed in them having an 521 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: out and the fact that Pete Carroll came out the 522 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: other day and basically said that Rashad Penny is are 523 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: starting running back, I uh to meet right now, all 524 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: indications point that I don't expect Carson to be there 525 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, that that would be unfortunate if this 526 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: is the last we've seen of him, just because of injuries. 527 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: So we'll see um. Melvin Gordon still out there, still 528 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: a free agent. The chatter has been it seems like 529 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: he wants to stay in Denver, and I think the 530 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: Broncos kind of want to keep him around there in 531 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: Denver as well and just sort of run it back 532 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: with what they had last year. I know everybody loves 533 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: Javontay Williams. He's kind of a first round guy. Is 534 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: he's still a first round guy if Melwyn Gordon comes back, though, No, 535 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: I don't even think there's a chance that he's a 536 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: first round guy, Like I would say he's more of 537 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: like a third or fourth round guy, and that's still 538 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: even paying up for his upside. Like I don't think 539 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: we would get a fifty a clean like fifty fifty 540 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: split like we saw a lot last year, but Melvin 541 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: Gordon would not go away. Like he's a a still 542 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: a very capable running back. It might be something like 543 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: split or something like that. But the thing that hurt 544 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: javon say the most is Melvin Gordon is very good 545 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: near the goal line, and he was the Broncos preferred 546 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,959 Speaker 1: choice last year. Javonty got plenty of his own looks too, 547 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: but Melvin Gordon was just the first option out there 548 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: for them. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a lot 549 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: to how it operated last year, where it's like this 550 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: series is the Javanta series, next one is Melvin Gordon, 551 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: because we didn't fully see them like splitting time per series. 552 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: It was just like this drive is you, next drive 553 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: is me. So I think it would hurt Javon say Williams, 554 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: And honestly, it would probably take me from being very 555 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: bullish on him to just being out on him because 556 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: fantasy players don't tend to give up on hype even 557 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: if the situation kind of calls for it. Yeah. I 558 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: think that's the part that's important, is that a lot 559 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: of times, like the hype train doesn't slow down once 560 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: it's rolling, and it is, uh, it has picked up 561 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: a lot of steam. So I yeah, I am curious 562 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: to see where Javonta Stock will be. I mean right 563 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: now he's the uh the very end of the first round. Um, 564 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: curious to see how far that would fall if and 565 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: when Melwyn Gordon comes back to Dinny, would you take 566 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: him second round? If it was if Melwyn Gordon was 567 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: there mid to late second round, I don't think I 568 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: take him early second round. Um, I couldn't especially if 569 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: like those elite receivers are still there, right, which sort 570 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 1: of hurts my heart. So I love Ji. I mean, 571 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm not the only one I know. I know I'm 572 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: in a long line of people, but I love Javonte Williams. 573 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: So I'd love to see him get that shot to 574 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: be a workhorse. But I don't. I don't think it's 575 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: gonna happen. Um, you mentioned will Fuller is being out there, 576 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: He's still available. I know people are saying he should 577 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: go to Cleveland now that Deshaun Watson is there and 578 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: they can sort of recreate that magic. We're still waiting 579 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: to see what happens with O'Dell, although I get the 580 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: feeling it's gonna be a while before O'Dell signs anywhere 581 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: just because of the knee injury. Um, Julio is still there, 582 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry is still out there, Called Beasley is still 583 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: out there. I mean, I guess I'm surprised that some 584 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: of these names are still there, But I guess I 585 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: guess teams are kind of waiting till maybe after the 586 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: draft to see what happens with some of these guys. 587 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: Like I keep waiting for Julio Jones to go to 588 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: the Colts and just team up with Matt Ryan again. 589 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,719 Speaker 1: But like he's a veteran, it wouldn't surprise me if 590 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: he didn't sign until like this summer, because sometimes veterans 591 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: like that's what I think Gronk is doing. I know 592 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: he's the big tight end still out there, Like I 593 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: think he's just waiting because he doesn't want to be 594 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: doing all these workouts and stuff all summer long. Like 595 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: the one to me that is most self inflicted I 596 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: think for still being out there is Jarvis Landry because look, 597 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: I love Juice. Juice thinks he's worth twenty million a year. 598 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get that money. No. I 599 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: mean it's good to want things, but yeah, I don't, 600 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think twenty million is in the cards. Um. 601 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: I mean, look, man, we're talking about what that Tyree 602 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: Hill getting thirty million and in DeVonta Anas getting twenty eight. 603 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: Like I appreciate you being, uh, you know, betting on yourself, Jarvis, 604 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: but I just don't see that happening. What do you 605 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: think like Chase and Jefferson are gonna get when they're 606 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: like signing this extension. I mean we we may be 607 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: talking what neighborhood of five million, and honestly, they're younger 608 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: than Hill and Adams. They would get it. I think, yeah, Wow, 609 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be amazing. That'll be interesting to watch. Kids. 610 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: If you're listening, do not play running back play? Well? 611 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: You know, it's like, this is my own little side rant, 612 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: right because I am. I get frustrated by the whole 613 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: devaluing of running backs. I understand it before you come 614 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: in my Twitter mentions telling me I don't understand it. 615 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: I understand why it happens. I know that the the 616 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: analytics and the math and and everything behind it. But 617 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: I think the the unintended consequence of it is that 618 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: we don't have nearly as many talented guys playing running back. 619 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: There are some really talented guys playing it, but it's 620 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: just not on the same level that you know. Now 621 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: when when guys are starting to plan out their futures, 622 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: I mean not just talking about PBE football or even 623 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: high school football. When they're planning their futures though, um, 624 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: you're seeing a lot of the most talented, most athletic 625 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: guys funneled away from the running back position to you know, 626 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: wide receiver, quarterback, you know, uh, defensive back even Um, 627 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: just because running backs don't they don't have the longevity, 628 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: they don't get paid the same. So um that I 629 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: know he's a friend of the show. I heard. Uh. 630 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: I was listening to Emory Hunt's podcast, and uh, he 631 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: made a great point. He was like, he feels bad 632 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,239 Speaker 1: for running backs because until they reached the NFL, they 633 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: are the most important player on their offense, and then 634 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: they reached the NFL and no one cares about them 635 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: any no one cares anymore. Yeah, you know, it's very 636 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: it is very very true. And like, you know, they 637 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: take a beating. Everybody recognizes that the beating, the physical 638 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: beating that they take, uh, and their their importance to 639 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: the offense. But then they just kind of become replaceable. 640 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: So it Uh. Emery's other point that he made that 641 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: I was a good one, was you don't need a 642 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: running back until you do. And I was like, we've 643 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: we've seen that a lot, seen that a lot. Yeah exactly. Uh, 644 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, unless you're the forty Niners and you can 645 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: just plug and play with like literally anybody off the street, 646 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: it seems I just I just want to make it work. 647 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: All right, I'll can take a quick great comeback. We're 648 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: gonna play some hype train or smoke screen. Also going 649 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: to talk about overtime rules, which I have a feeling 650 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: the Bills fan on the show might have an opinion 651 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: or two on, so hang around for that. Going back 652 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: to the break on the NFL Fantasy Football Show, a 653 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: few stories that popped up in the news feed over 654 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: the last few days felt like a good time to 655 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: play some kind of post free agency hype train or 656 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: smoke screen. The first one in Buffalo, uh, Sean McDermott 657 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: says he is looking for Josh Allen to run less 658 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: in two So now, I mean, I guess we can 659 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: sort of parts what does less mean for a guy 660 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: who has been his team's kind of maybe best running backs, 661 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: certainly their de facto gold lineback over the last few years. 662 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: Last year he ran a hundred twenty two times for 663 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: seven hundred sixty three yards. He's had a hundred or 664 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: more carries in three straight years, so technically less could 665 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: be you know, he runs like hindy times, it only 666 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: has like five yards. Um, should we read into this? 667 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean, is there hype behind this? Is this a 668 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: smoke screen should should we should we take this into 669 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: account when we are ranking quarterbacks this year. I still 670 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: think Allen will be my quarterback one because his competition 671 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: for it is like Mahomes and and Herbert, and they're 672 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: not going to be running. I don't believe for more 673 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: yards than Alan is, but I do. I would not 674 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: be surprised if Alan ran less. I don't think you're 675 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: gonna ever fully see that out of his game. Maybe 676 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: we'll see less design runs, but a huge part of 677 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: Alan's game is scrambling with the ball and if he 678 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: if no one's open, he'll just tucking and run. I 679 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe that will ever see go away because 680 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: he's so dangerous when he's moving with the ball in 681 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: his hand. I just think we might see less design 682 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: runs to uh to give his body a little bit 683 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: of a let's let's beating. It's something we see like 684 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: at Homes and Mahomes doesn't run in the regular season, 685 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: but come the playoffs, he's running whenever he has to. Yeah, 686 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: I think that's that's probably right. I mean I sort 687 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: of I sort of thought this was coming. Um, you 688 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: know I did. If you want to scroll through my 689 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: my TikTok account. I did a kind of a pro 690 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: and con as to why three reasons why Josh Allen 691 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: could return It finishes the QB one for a third 692 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: show year. Three reasons why he couldn't. Um My face 693 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: is at end up just letting you know. It's goofy. 694 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: I use like a stuff Yoda doll and I got 695 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: he's got dilla thing. It's a whole thing. Just go 696 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: check it out. Check it out, Go check it out, 697 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: Go check it out. Um. But one of the things 698 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: I said was that I just don't believe he's going 699 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: to continue to run the way he has. At some point, 700 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: you don't want your franchise quarterback taking all of these hits. 701 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: And so yes, I think, you know, when it comes 702 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, then I think all bets are off. 703 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: But I do think during the regular season they may 704 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: want to rein him in a little bit because the 705 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: last thing you need if you're the Bills is Josh Allen. 706 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: And I know he's a big, strong dude, right, but 707 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: the last thing you needed him taking a shot from 708 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: somebody and suddenly you were at your quarter back for 709 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: a month, six weeks something like that. So I do 710 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: think that's going to kind of impact his game. But 711 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: I do think everything else he does, the fact that 712 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: he still has great touchdown upside on the ground, the 713 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: fact that he's probably gonna throw for you know, four 714 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: thousand yards and throw for thirty five, maybe close to 715 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 1: forty touchdowns, I think that still keeps him at the top. 716 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: And and like you've said before, even if he doesn't 717 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: finish as the QB one, he gives you the best 718 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: opportunity to do that. So I think that that's what 719 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: it keeps him at the at the top of the 720 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: quarterback rings. So, UM, I think it's true. I think 721 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: what I think Shan mc thurman is saying is true, 722 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: but I still don't think it changes. Uh the way 723 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks is gonna be ranked. Um. In Carolina, the Panthers 724 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: say they plan to add to their quarterback room. Said 725 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: they haven't received any calls about a possible trade for 726 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, So hype trade or smoke screen. Uh, Sam 727 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: Donald will be the starting quarterback for the Panthers in 728 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,919 Speaker 1: Week one. I'm gonna say smoke screen. If you ask 729 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: me who it is, I cannot tell you. Like, I 730 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: think Sam Donald has to be the favorite because it's 731 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: just so many other Like they could trade for Jimmy G. 732 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 1: They could draft Kenny Picket or any of their They 733 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 1: may have a pick of whichever quarterback they like most. 734 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: But I don't see how you go into next season 735 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: with Sam Donald as like your quarterback answer it, maybe 736 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: he's the starter week one and then like they transition 737 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: to whichevery quarterback they draft. But I definitely expect them 738 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: to either trade for Jimmy G because I think that 739 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: right now is the most realistic scenario for him, or 740 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: I expect them to draft pick it willis, you know, 741 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: whichever quarterback they like most that is available to them 742 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: at pick six. Yeah, it seems like most mock drafts 743 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: have them taking a quarterback. I've seen pick it at six. 744 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: I see one that has them maybe trading down and 745 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: somehow landing Malik Willis. Although if you know, if you 746 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: believe the Willis to the to the Lions at two, 747 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: then that kind of off the board. But the consensus 748 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: seems to be that Caroline is going to draft a quarterback, 749 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: and so that that would make it, uh, I think, 750 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: really awkward for Save Donald and really tough for him 751 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: to be the starter. I think if they were gonna 752 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: trade for Jimmy Garoppolo. They would have done it by now, 753 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: Um that that would have been done, So that one 754 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: seems like it's sort of off the table, and it's 755 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: just gonna be a question of whether or not. Uh, 756 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, they they were able to draft one of 757 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks. Now, if if something weird happens and the 758 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: Panthers don't get one of these top quarterbacks, then I 759 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: think maybe the the Garoppolo trade is back in play again. Um, 760 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: But but I don't. I just don't see it happening 761 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 1: before before the NFL Draft at this point. Um. Okay, 762 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: last one. James Washington, formerly of the Steelers, now of 763 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys says he left quote a lot of 764 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: meat on the bone in Pittsburgh. Obviously, Deante Johnson is there. 765 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: You know, Chase Claypool is there. Juju is now gone. 766 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: So maybe this opens up a door for James Washington. 767 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: Or actually, when I say that, go to Mary Cooper 768 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: is gone. How many teams backwards? Mary Cooper is gone. 769 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: We know Michael Gallup is back, Ceedee Lamb is still there. 770 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a door open for James 771 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,720 Speaker 1: Washington to be on the field, but hider smoke screen 772 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: Washington is going to be fantasy relevant in twenty two. 773 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say smoke screen because I just think that 774 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: is the most likely outcome. But I will say I 775 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: always thought James Washington was better than the numbers he 776 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: put up. Like, I thought he's fast, he could stretch 777 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: the field. I did think, like you know, the corps 778 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 1: of Big Ben wasn't the right fit for him at quarterback, 779 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: and there was a lot of receiver dip there. What 780 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: I'm thinking is maybe if Michael Gallup isn't ready to 781 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: start the year, or he's not fully healthy, maybe Washington 782 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: could have a role early on. But I would imagine 783 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: that it gets smaller and smaller as Michael Gallup works 784 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: his way back. Yeah, I just you know, I feel 785 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,800 Speaker 1: like he's been in the league for a few years 786 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 1: and it's just one of those situations where I think 787 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: if he was going to be a player, it would 788 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: have happened by now, right. There were opportunities for it 789 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: to happen. His best year was the second year, seven 790 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: hundred thirty five yards and he did have five touchdowns 791 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: in um it just never happened. Uh, And I know 792 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: there was the whole talk about May he was he 793 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: was teammates with Mason Rudolph or were roommates with Mason 794 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: Rudolph at Oklahoma State, and that didn't seem to make 795 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: a whole lot of difference there. I just I just 796 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: have a hard time feeling like in year five it's 797 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: suddenly gonna all come together on a team that already 798 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: does have some talent at wide receivers. So I, you know, 799 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna smoke screen. I think it's it's nice for 800 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 1: him to try to get a new fresh start somewhere, 801 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: but I just don't think that it's gonna matter, at 802 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: least for our fantasy purposes for James Washington. All Right, 803 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: I said it's gonna be a shorter show today, and uh, 804 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: sort of, we're still sort of. It's definitely shorter than 805 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: last week of the last two weeks. But before we 806 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: get out of here, a couple of other kind of uh, 807 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: you know, out of the boxing news stories. Uh, the 808 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: NFL owners have approved a modified overtime rule. This would 809 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: apply to just the playoffs, not the regular season. It 810 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: would ensure that each team gets a possession in the postseason. Obviously, 811 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 1: this comes after a lot of people were frustrated by 812 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: the way the Bill's Chiefs game ended, where it was 813 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 1: such an amazing game and the Bills zoning to get 814 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: to touch the ball in overtime. I know a lot 815 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: of people say, well they have made a stop, that 816 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: it would have been different. Whatever. Either way, Uh, it 817 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: seems like both sides gonna get a shot in the playoffs. 818 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: Are you cool with this? Does this? Does this feel 819 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 1: like too a little too late for Bill's fans? How 820 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,839 Speaker 1: are you feeling about this? Both of those things are true. 821 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 1: I think I'm happy the rule has changed, but definitely 822 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: too little too late. And my advice would be just 823 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: make it to Josh Allen rule because like this happened 824 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. To Patrick Mahomes, we didn't 825 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 1: change the rule then, but and every quote I have seen, 826 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: like they act Sean McVeigh about it, and he was like, yeah, 827 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen should have got a chance to 828 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: match that score, and it's like that's what everyone keeps saying, 829 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,280 Speaker 1: So just name the rule after him. So my question 830 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 1: about this, and you know, I have to look and 831 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,720 Speaker 1: read more and try to find more what constitutes a 832 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: possession right? If if you know, say I kick off 833 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: to you at the start of overtime, you take the 834 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: kick off, you run it back ten yards, and then 835 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: you fumble it and I pick up, you know, and 836 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: I recover. Does that challenge is your possession? Does that 837 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: mean you had the ball? So? Okay, I mean as 838 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: long as we're as long as we are agreed ubout it. 839 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: That's that's just kind of what I don't know. I 840 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: saw too, Like if you kick it off to me 841 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: and then you force the safety, game is over because 842 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: like yeah, like so so I that was one thing 843 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 1: I saw, and I was like, that makes sense because 844 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: why wouldn't you give the team that took the safety 845 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 1: a chance to get the ball back like that? Yeah, 846 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: that's true, all right. I mean I do think there 847 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: are there's some nuances here. They need to be working Basically, 848 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: it's the Josh Allen rule. That is the Josh Allen rule. 849 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: Um so all right, So I'm sure there will be 850 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: a lot of nuances to be worked out. I am certain. 851 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: And feel back the curtain here. So every year, uh, 852 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: the NFL, NFL media has our Talent Summit where a 853 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: lot of where all the on air people that you 854 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,280 Speaker 1: see an NFL Network and a lot of the producers, 855 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 1: a lot of the behind the scenes folks. We get 856 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: together for two days. We talked about a lot of 857 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: the things that are going on with the network, a 858 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: lot of the projects we up coming up. But as 859 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: part of those two days, one portion of it is 860 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: devoted to rules changes and the head of officiating comes in. 861 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 1: In the past it was Al Riveron uh comes in 862 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 1: and explain some of the new rule changes. Uh and uh, 863 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, and and that sort of thing, which, by 864 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: the way, like part of it was was watching Steve 865 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: Smith and all rivern go head to hit on things 866 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: they disagreed with. It was always the highlight of my year. 867 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: It was the best rivalry in the NFL for a 868 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: long long time. Um. But I would assume that we're 869 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: going to have a whole demonstration about what the new 870 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: overtime rules are and how this appeals and how this 871 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: works and that sort of thing. So I look forward 872 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: to that when that happens in like June or July 873 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: or August or whatever it is, that should be fun. Um. 874 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: The other thing that came out the other day, the 875 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions are going to be your new hard knocks team. 876 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: Now this is your preseason Hard Knocks team. I don't 877 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: know if they have announced an in season Hard Knocks 878 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: team just yet, but the moment that this was announced, 879 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 1: I think everybody was just salivating at the idea of 880 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: getting endless. Dan Campbell quotes, UM, I don't is there 881 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: anything in particular you are looking forward to seeing with 882 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions this offseason. It's Dan Campbell, Like, I 883 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: want to see his morning routine because he's talked about 884 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 1: how like he'll get like a huge coffee and fill 885 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,879 Speaker 1: it with espresso shots. Like I just want to see 886 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: how this guy lives to be that ramped up all 887 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: the time. The thing I'm not looking forward to is 888 00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: seeing Jared Goff on Hard knocksbury third time. That's right, 889 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: That's right. I forgot about that. Um yeah, and I'm curious, 890 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: but you know, I mean I remember before when he 891 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: was in l A. He had a really huge house 892 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 1: on top of the hill with like a putting like 893 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: a putting green, and he could like chip balls from 894 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: the top of the hill down Like I don't know 895 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: if he'll have that same thing in Detroit. Maybe I 896 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,280 Speaker 1: don't have the Detroit version of that, Like he's shooting 897 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 1: it over like body shops or something like that. I 898 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: don't know. I have no idea I should. I've never 899 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: been to Detroit, but I've never been. But I'm curious 900 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 1: about you know what, what the Jared golf lifestyle? What 901 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 1: what does a California kid do? Eminem All of a sudden, 902 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,760 Speaker 1: I could see that. I could totally see that happening. Um. 903 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 1: The other part is there's always a player or two 904 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 1: who gets like the hard knocks fantasy bump, Like we 905 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 1: see them make like one or two plays on hard knots. 906 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: Everybody's like yeah, I mean, um, you know, I think 907 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,399 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lambs sort of got some of that before when 908 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 1: it was the Cowboys. Uh, I'm already right now putting 909 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 1: my money on aman Ra that it's amant ross A 910 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: Brown who gets the hard knocks bump this year. Same 911 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: because I don't even think it's gonna be anything he 912 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,759 Speaker 1: does on the field, per se. I think it's gonna 913 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna learn about his family and you know, like 914 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,439 Speaker 1: how they got their names like that. His dad's name 915 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: is is nothing similar to his His dad's name is John. 916 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: His name is John Brown, like the most basic name. 917 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: But then like he named all of his kids after 918 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: like gods and stuff, and he was a bodybuilder, and 919 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,800 Speaker 1: Almanra has lived in multiple countries and speaks multiple languages. 920 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,399 Speaker 1: Like I think all of that is going to come 921 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: to the surface and he's just gonna be like a 922 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: big winner of this season. Yeah, I mean he's Uh. 923 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: I think he and all his siblings are fluent in German. 924 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 1: Um I know here. I think his dad, Wrench might 925 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,720 Speaker 1: be the other one. Yeah, his dad was like a Mr. 926 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: Universe or something like that.

His mom was a was an athlete 928 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 1: as well, so they were like basketball players too, I believe. 929 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, interesting life the side, not too like 930 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: their parents names were just brown. They added the st 931 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: brown for the kids to make it sound more interesting. 932 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: So and and they're like, they're all named after like 933 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: Egyptian Egyptian goddesses.

Yeah, 935 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: it's it's an interesting family. So hopefully we get to 936 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 1: dive into that a little bit on Hard Knocks. So 937 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: they're like the Ball Brothers of of the NFL, just 938 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 1: with less obnoxious dad, right exactly. You don't see your 939 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,760 Speaker 1: dad anywhere.
