I did. 22 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: I did. I'm curious, how did you spend your first 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: Fantasy free Sunday this year? I think you'll be very 24 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: disappointed in this answer. Um, I spent it watching football 25 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: all day. Here's the thing. I didn't watch it all day. 26 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: I tuned in for a little bit of Steelers Brown's 27 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: in the morning, I watched the majority of the Rams 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: Cardinals game in the afternoon. I watched a good chunk 29 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: of Washington and Philly in the evening. So I did 30 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: end up watching football most of the day. But I 31 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: also like took a break, you know, did a little 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: exercise that rest of coplic books, drink some whiskey, so 33 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: I you know, I kind of tried to get some 34 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: football and real life balance thrown. I was doing other 35 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: stuff Like normally I just im on the couch, like tweeting, 36 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: looking at stats, watching football all day, but like this time, 37 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: like I cleaned up like my bedroom for the first 38 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: time since football started, and I got rid of like 39 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of Christmas boxes. And then at night I 40 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: had to put that game on my phone. It was 41 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: are to justify having that game on TV when my 42 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: fiancee sitting there like, why are we watching this? Fantasy 43 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: is over? This is two teams that are like six 44 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: wins or we're like and she's not a big football fan, 45 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: and even she was like, these teams are no good? 46 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: Why are we watching this game? It's fair. I think 47 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: it's fair. I think a lot of us sort of 48 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: felt that way at some point to um, I'm not 49 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: diving into this whole neate such fell dug or something not. 50 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: Twitter has gone on about it for days. It has 51 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: been argued out, I'm over it. So yeah, um, you 52 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: know now we we we We are still sort of 53 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: in transition. If there's one thing that's been consistent about 54 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: this show is that it has been inconsistent. There's been 55 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts. So one of the moving parts, 56 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: uh is our producer Steve Steve Manny, who has stepped 57 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: in before in the past, and so Steve, glad to 58 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: have you back. I don't know if this is a 59 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: long time, permanent thing, but if nothing else, Happy New Year. 60 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: We're glad to have you here. Man. How are things. Yeah, 61 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: we're doing all right, happy to be here for a 62 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: little bit. You know. This past weekend, well, you folks, 63 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: we're maybe playing checkers I was playing Cones of Dunnshire 64 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: and did do a week seven team championship um and 65 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: finished hilariously way out of the out of out of 66 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: winning my league because I'm a pet mahomes Tyreek Hill 67 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: kind of guy. So I think we're done with that, 68 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: and I think I should listen to your advice in 69 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: the future. Um. That's that's gonna be a work because 70 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: if I'm mistaking, you're Alliance fan too, right. I think 71 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: they canceled the game this week and when I had 72 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: in the past few years and they haven't played in 73 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: some time. No, the lines have been tough to watch. 74 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: It's kind of a red zone kind of kind of 75 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: Sunday for me. I understand, I get it. We all, 76 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: we all. I feel like everybody at some point needs 77 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: to have a team that they cheer for that just 78 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: as miserable and drags them down like it's no fun. 79 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: You know. That's that's why people generally don't like the 80 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, the Yankee Laker Cowboy combination, because it's like, 81 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: you know what, man like that spinks. Everybody needs some 82 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: hardship in their life. Uh. And so if you're Alliance man, 83 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: you you've experienced hard ship for multiple lifetimes. Um, and 84 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: people are becoming Browns fans all of a sudden, or 85 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: Packers fans, like you should see the state of Michigan. 86 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: It's uh, it's almost like they forgot. Uh yeah, so 87 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: I think, like, what's what's good? I mean that the 88 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: Pitts no theme. He well, Michigan knowledge teams sometimes, I mean, no, 89 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: not this year, Michigan basketball. I will tell you what 90 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: a friend of mine was told by Shann O'Hara when 91 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: he talked about being a Detroit fan in sports. Shan 92 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: o Herero looked at him and pause and said, um, hey, 93 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: well eight Mile was a pretty good movie, right, we 94 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 1: got that? Oh man? All right, well, thank you, Stevie. 95 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: Look forward to certain shot. We'll start with you again 96 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: at the end of the show. We've got some fun 97 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: stuff planned for exactly. Uh So, what we're gonna do 98 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: for the next few weeks is exit interviews. UM. In 99 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: the past, when I've done these sort of as a 100 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: written piece, I've done them by vision. But this year 101 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: I decided to kind of switch it up and do 102 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: them by projected draft order. Now there's a little bit 103 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: of a twist in there, because some teams don't have 104 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 1: a first round pick, so we will put those teams 105 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: in where they, in theory would be picking. So we'll 106 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: do four teams a day. Uh, you can do the math. 107 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: Four teams a day, thirty two teams. It's eight shows. 108 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: What two shows a week? Four weeks. I feel like 109 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: Dan hands is going through his thirty two teams sixteen games. Uh. 110 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: So anyway, we're gonna start with the teams that are 111 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: slated to have the top four picks. We'll go through, 112 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: we'll talk about things that went right, went wrong, and 113 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: just general questions about them heading into one sou Let's 114 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: kick it off with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have the 115 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: number one overall pick. You might have heard, uh, there's 116 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: a guy coming out of Clemson that allegedly will land 117 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, will make the short trip from a relatively 118 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: short trip from Clemson, South Carolina to Jacksonville, Florida. Presumably, Uh, 119 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: certainly a lot can happen between now and the draft, 120 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: but we'll see. But the stats on the Jags, they 121 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: finished the season one in fifteen on a fifteen game 122 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: losing streak, Mike, they want and we want and lost 123 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: fifteen in a row to end the year. So my 124 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: first question to you, and this will be the question 125 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: I asked probably for all these teams, is tell me 126 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: something good that you saw happen for the Jaguars fantasy 127 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: wise in that to me is a pretty easy one actually, right, 128 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: Like it's James Robinson, Like he was the only Jaguar 129 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: player I think this year that as long as he 130 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: was healthy, you were starting him, like there was no receivers. 131 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: We could say that for Obviously I liked Gardner Minshew 132 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: coming into the year, but he's not a must start quarterback. 133 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: Neither is Michael Lennon or Jake Lewton if people forgot 134 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: that he started a couple of games this year too 135 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: for this team. Uh So, James Robinson is the lone 136 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: big bright uh spot from this season. I would say 137 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: like he was a top ten fantasy running back and 138 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: that was even so missing the final two games of 139 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: the season. But like he came out of nowhere, stole 140 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: the job from Leonard Fournette after he got cut, and 141 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: then just outproduced what I think Leonard Fournet would have 142 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: given you on this team, and he is looking like 143 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: a legitimate top two round pick next season. I yeah, 144 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: I think This is an easy call that it is 145 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: James Robinson. And this is coming from somebody who really 146 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: tried to sort of shoehorn Labis because cher alt into 147 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: a sleeper role for much of the season and had 148 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: some moments where he was good. But it really was 149 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: that the James Robinson show this year. To go from 150 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent to a guy who was a 151 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: top five fantasy running back by the end of the year. Um, 152 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: you know, krudos to him, Krudos to him taking advantage 153 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: of an opportunity. And I think you're right. I don't 154 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: think Leonard Fournette would have done this had he stayed 155 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and had this opportunity. Um, so yeah, I 156 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: think if you're anything, if you're the Jaguards, at least 157 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: you feel like you have something at that position that 158 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: you can move forward with, which I guess spend to 159 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: The next question is for you, what is one thing 160 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: or maybe the biggest thing that you feel like needs 161 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: to improve for this team in one for them to 162 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: have some more fantasy relevant I think for them, they 163 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: need to improve their quarterback and lucky for them, they 164 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: have the number one pick in the draft, so they 165 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: have a very clear path of how they can do so. 166 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: But I think we've seen that, like you bring in 167 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: a young quarterback who who can do some things like that, 168 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: like Justin Herbert. I'm not saying Trevor Lawrence is gonna 169 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: come in and have a Justin Herbert effects exactly. Um, 170 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: but a lot of people who are really really high 171 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: on Trevor Lawrence for fantasy next season. And I think 172 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: that right there is like not only does that change 173 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: your organization for fantasy purposes, like it just changes you 174 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: as a franchise. And I think the Jaguars have a 175 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: lot of reason to feel good right now. Um. But 176 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: before I get super excited for Trevor Lawrence, I do 177 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: want to see who they bring in to call the place. 178 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big thing. Obviously, you know Doug 179 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: Moron was let go, so they're going there's going to 180 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: be a coaching change there in Jacksonville. We do expect 181 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: that it's going to be Trevor Lawrence as the quarterback spot, 182 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: which the Jaguars have been sort of down this road 183 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: of thinking they had found a franchise quarterback. I mean 184 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't really that long ago that they drafted Blake 185 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: Bortles with the expectation that that he would really turn 186 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: things around. He didn't. Um Blake Bortles. I think what 187 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: it's all said and done, his biggest claim to fame 188 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: might be just the recurring punchline on the good place. 189 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: So I might have something to do with it. But 190 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, if if you believe what is being said 191 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: about Trevor Lawrence that he is the greatest quarterback prospect 192 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: we have seen since Andrew Luck, that he could be 193 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: a transformational figure here, and I think that is going 194 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: to be, uh, you know, kind of what everybody is 195 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: looking forward to. I mean, we're going to have a 196 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: lot of draft talk between now in April, but I 197 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: think it's all gonna kind of start with Trevor Lawrence 198 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: going number one to the Jacksonville Jaguars. So if he 199 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: goes one of the Jaguars like we expect, does this 200 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: mean he is the number one overall pick in Dynasty 201 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: rookie drafts next year? As of now, he would be. 202 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: For me, I think if a big running back lands 203 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: on a spot where like they can see, you know, 204 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: close to three hundred touches and and I know that 205 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: sounds kind of wild, but We've seen it before like 206 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott. So uh, that would be 207 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: the only way that changes. But I'm it would It 208 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: would need to be a really good running back in 209 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: a really good situation because Trevor Lawrence. I mean, for 210 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: three years now, Marcus, we've heard the hype that in 211 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: one this guy is gonna be the first pick. He's 212 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: the second coming of Andrew Luck. You could pick any 213 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: of the numerous ways people have built him up into 214 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: the last three years, but that's all we've heard about 215 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: is Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence, Trevor Lawrence. So I think 216 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: that obviously any team that drafts him is going to 217 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: give him a long run as a starter. And I 218 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: think obviously his ceiling is a lot higher than just 219 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: being a NFL starter, like he can be a QB 220 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: one in fantasy and quarterbacks careers, we know they just 221 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: last so much longer, Like a running back could be 222 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: out of the league in five years Allah Todd Gurley, 223 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: but Trevor Lawrence he could be in the league for 224 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: the next twenty years. So yeah, I think he is 225 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: the number one pick in dynasty right now. And Marcus 226 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen this or not, but 227 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: have you seen people starting to make the case for 228 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: Fields over Lawrence in real life, not even fantasy. Yeah, 229 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: I've I've seen that. Um I I feel like that's 230 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: just because we need something to talk about for the 231 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: next three or four months, right, like, you know, and 232 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: maybe there are people out there who really believe it, 233 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: right And I saw a lot of it kick up 234 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: after last weekend when Ohio State beat up on Clemson 235 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: and Fields in that game outplayed Trevor Lawrence. Um. I 236 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: don't think anybody was disputing what happened there in that game. 237 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: I feel like, though, this is just this is conversation 238 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: for the sake of conversation, and you know, it's like, 239 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever seen the movie The 240 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: Great White hype Um, which is, you know, kind of 241 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: a fun kind of comedy boxing movie from the nineties, 242 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: but basically the whole point is there was a a 243 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: heavyweight champion who's being challenged by some you know nobody, uh, 244 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, washed up guy, and over the course of 245 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: the movie, they make you believe that this washed up 246 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: nobody actually has a chance to beat the heavyweight champion. 247 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: Of the world and then it doesn't happen. Spoiler alert. Um, 248 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: if I have to say spoiler alert for old movie whatever. 249 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: Is it a really more realistic version of Rocky? Um? No? 250 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean I guess yeah, in the sense that yes, 251 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: this this washed up dude ends up not winning. Yeah, 252 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: And I respect it is a more realistic version of Rocky. Uh, 253 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: But I feel like that's sort of what this this 254 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: Fields conversation is that we're gonna talk it up and 255 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: by the you know, we might get to March and 256 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: you might start to think in your head like, hey, 257 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: maybe there's a chance, but there's there's not a chance. 258 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: Like this, this thing is locked in at this point. 259 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is going to the Jaguars and you know, 260 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: unless something really catastrophic happens, which you hope, you hope 261 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't. But but this is kind of what it is. Um. 262 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: So you talked about James Robinson and you mentioned the 263 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: fact that he looks like a top two round draft pick. 264 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: Can he do it again? Can he do what he 265 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: did in Can he do it again in one? Or 266 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: is this just a flash in the pan? So? Can 267 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: he be the RB seven and just fourteen games? Next 268 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: year that I find a little bit hard for him 269 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: to produce because it was something Marcus that I didn't 270 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: really think of until you mentioned it on the podcast 271 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. You were like, I don't 272 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: foresee James Robinson having no competition at all like he 273 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: did this season, And I started thinking, and then I 274 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: looked at it. He had forty of the Jaguars touches 275 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: this season. The only players that had more with Derrick 276 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: Henry and Dalvin Cook. James Robinson is a great running back. 277 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, is he in? Is he a 278 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry or a Dalvin Cook in the sense of 279 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: you give this guy the ball twenty five plus times 280 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: a game and don't think twice about it. I'm not 281 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: sold yet, So I wouldn't be surprised if they brought 282 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: in or drafted another running back to be a complimentary piece, 283 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: just to keep Robinson fresh. I think he's obviously the 284 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: starting running back for the Jaguars next year, and I 285 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: think that he is. I I have him ranked as 286 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: an RB one lower end RB one, though not top 287 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: five or anything like that. So my concerns with him 288 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: or are what you pointed out, like I think he'll 289 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: have some competition, but it's all gonna depend on his price. 290 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: Like if he's going in the second round of fantasy drafts, 291 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 1: I will definitely be interested in him. But if he 292 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: starts going and say the first round, and there's some 293 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: other running backs that I like more around him because 294 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: I have him as like my RB ten or eleven 295 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: right now, then that I won't like him nearly as much. 296 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: I I just think they are going to bring somebody 297 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: else in, whether it's somebody that's currently on the roster 298 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: they didn't play this year, or somebody they find in 299 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: free agency or the draft. I just don't envision them 300 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: giving him that many opportunities. Also, look if we go 301 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: back to them drafting Lawrence at one, I can't imagine 302 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: they're going to try to lean on their running back. 303 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: I think in some respects they sort of had to 304 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: lean on James Robinson because he was the most consistent thing. 305 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: When you didn't know what you were going to get 306 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: week to week from you know, Gardner Minshew or Mike 307 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: Glennan or Jake lewton Um. That made it easier for 308 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: you to just turn around and hand the ball to 309 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: your running back. A whole bunch of times. If Lawrence 310 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: is the guy that we all believe he can and 311 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: be um, you know, sort of like what we saw 312 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati when Joe Burrow was healthy, that they had 313 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: him throw the ball forty fifty times a game that 314 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: very well could end up happening in in Jacksonville this year. 315 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: And if he doesn't throw the ball, say, you know, 316 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: thirty five forty times a game, who's he throwing it too? 317 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: Can you can you pinpoint on this roster who the 318 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: number one receiver in Jacksonville is right now? I can't 319 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: pinpoint who the number one is. I think I can 320 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: pinpoint who their top two are, at least who I 321 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: want the top two to be and who the fantasy 322 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: community want the top two to be. I think it's 323 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: DJ Chark and laviska Um, but Kell and Cole. You know, 324 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: he's flat shown flashes throughout the last two years with 325 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, so he is definitely going to be someone 326 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: in the mix. I think like D. D. Westbrook has 327 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: just cast aside and Colin Johnson, who who showed flashes 328 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: at times. I think he would be behind those other guys. 329 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: But they used a first round pick on Laviska LT, 330 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: so I expect them to give him lots of opportunity. 331 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: And then DJ Chark. We saw what he did two 332 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: years ago, uh and he flashed at times in twenties. 333 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: So I think that those are the two odds on 334 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: favorite to lead the way and for fantasy. The one 335 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: I would like best is whichever one is going cheapest, 336 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: because I don't think confident and saying either one is 337 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: the water receiver one here, I think that I think 338 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: that last part is really fair. Um. You know, I 339 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: will admit that I will probably again wave the flag 340 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: for Chennault when we get to one, but you're probably right. 341 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: Whichever one has the best value overall who's going later 342 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: in draft is probably the one that will be the 343 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: best bet, um, Because yeah, I think it's between Chark 344 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: and Chanel for who leads the team and targets next year. 345 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: You know, I'm curious to see who else sort of 346 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: slots in. And look, part of this is it goes 347 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: back to your point earlier. A lot of it depends 348 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: on who is calling the plays, who is the offensive coordinator, 349 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: who's the head coach, um, and how they decided to 350 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: run their offense. That will have a lot to do 351 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: with what this Jaguar offense looks like. In all right, 352 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: let's turn out to the Jets, who for a long 353 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: time seemed to be in the driver's seat for the 354 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Then they end up winning a 355 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: game somewhere along the way that ended up meaning a 356 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: whole lot of nothing for them, except for now they 357 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: don't have a shot at Trevor Lawrence anymore. But let's 358 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: just start with the good. What did you see from 359 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: the Jets that actually was good? In I mean I 360 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: saw more of the Jaguars that was good for fantasy 361 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: than the Jets, like in the whole seriesness, what did 362 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: the Jets do that was good for fans? They gave 363 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: us a couple of Jamison Crowder games, like I would 364 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: say they're One good thing they did was they threw 365 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: to their slot receivers and they were predictable in that sense, 366 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: Like Marcus, you sent it a bunch throughout the year 367 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: like Jets slot receivers, and when it was it's Jamison Crowder, 368 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: and when he was out, it became Braxton Barrios. Besides that, 369 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: really there wasn't a whole lot of good I guess 370 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: Denzel Mims showing at times that he can play in 371 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: this league, because there was a lot of questions about 372 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: him coming in. Uh, is he just you know, like 373 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: a raw athlete who can't really run routes and stuff. 374 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: But he show that he can play in this league, 375 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: I think. But besides that, I mean, there was not 376 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: a We had Frank Gore as their lead running back. 377 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 1: We had sand probably gonna be on another team. They 378 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: have a new head coach, like even the Jets n 379 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 1: there was nothing good about Yeah, I'm really trying to think. 380 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: I mean, other than the fact that you know, we 381 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: got to joke about Frank Gore being eternal. Um, there 382 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: wasn't much there. I mean, look, there was a point 383 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: and I am an unabashed Frank Gore stand right. I 384 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: love the dude, But at some point in the year, 385 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to see the Michael p. Ryan, right, I 386 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: wanted to see him get more opportunities. And I know 387 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: he got hurt late in the season, but there was 388 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: a point early in the year, midway through the year, 389 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: when you just knew the Jets weren't going anywhere, but 390 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: nothing was going to happen good for this team, and 391 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: it just didn't make sense why they kept trying to 392 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: force the Frank Gore issue over and over again when 393 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: it's like, let's see what's going on, let's see what's 394 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: going on with the young guys. Let's give p Ryan 395 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: some opportunities, even even give Ty Johnson some opportunities, just something, 396 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: just to see what you have back there. But no, no, 397 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: we kept doing the same old thing. And that was 398 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: that was sort of you know whatever. It was very 399 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: jets of the jets. That's that's score of all I know. 400 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: Um So then if there was nothing good that we found, 401 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: I guess this makes this next question a really big 402 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: on what what needs to improve in one? And if 403 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: you want to just say everything, I would accept that answer. 404 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: I will say everything, except I think they're actually pretty 405 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: set with their The talent they have is as pass catchers, 406 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: like I like the receiving core of Mims, Perraman and Crowder. 407 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: Do I think they can obviously get a wide receiver 408 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: one and improve there. Yes, but at least with with Mims, 409 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: you give him the opportunity to see what you have there. 410 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: And I, Marcus, I know it's gonna be gross to 411 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: say I still think Chris Herndon has talent. I've done 412 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: backing him for fantasy, but I think that he is 413 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: a talented pass catching tight end. So I think that 414 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: that is an area they don't need to improve this year, 415 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: but desperately need to improve their play calling. We all 416 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: know that. I mean, sorry, Adam Gaze, I know you're 417 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: out of a job now, but it's since he's been hired, 418 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: we've all kind of been poking fun at the Jet's 419 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: offense because it's just been brutal, especially for fantasy. They 420 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: need to upgrade the quarterback. I know Sam Donald. I 421 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: think Sam Donald still has some hype market some potential markets, 422 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: but I think he needs to go somewhere else, like 423 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: I think he needs a fresh start. And then their 424 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: defense looks good at times, but I think they need 425 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: to improve their defense as well their old one too. 426 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: I'll give him that they did a good job improving 427 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: their old on this year. Yeah, I know, you know 428 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: they did some things up front that we're certainly very helpful. Um. Look, 429 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: I yeah, I really feel like everything is sort of 430 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: the generic catch all answer about this game. And I'm 431 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: glad you said something about Chris Hersing and I was 432 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: just gonna ask the question anyway. UM So the fact 433 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: that you sort of jumped on it, I appreciate that 434 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: because it's funny. Every time he does something, and it's 435 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: not very often, but he'll catch a touchdown or have 436 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: a big play and it's like, you know, Chris Herndon 437 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: hives just starts to like kind of like a mild buzz. 438 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: The buzz is getting quieter and quieter because that people 439 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: are sort of jumping off that bandwagon. But um, I 440 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: do think that will get to next year and if 441 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: we have you know, if we have a preseason, if 442 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,479 Speaker 1: we have anything you know, closer to normal, I do 443 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: expect we'll hear the Chris Herndon buzz to to pick 444 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: up again, just because you know, I mean, some things 445 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: are eternal. So but other than that, like Frank Gore 446 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: wanted to play again, Like Frank Gore man, if he 447 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: comes back, like I know he's talking about maybe hanging 448 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: it up, he's thirty seven, but like I really want 449 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: him to hang in this league long enough for his 450 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: son to make it. Like I want I want Frank 451 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: Gore Senior and Frank Gore Junior to be on an 452 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: NFL field at the same time. If they're on the 453 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: same field, that's even better. But I just both want 454 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: them to be drawing an NFL paycheck at the same time. 455 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: I feel like that's not too much to ask. So 456 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: it would be great to get like a magazine cover 457 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: with like them too, and then like Lebron and his 458 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: kid like that would be a lot of fun. I mean, 459 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: it's like it was like I I was old enough, 460 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: I had the Griffy the Next Generation poster right where 461 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: it was like Junior and Senior on the same poster, 462 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, part of their respective lockers, Like I want 463 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: one of those with Frank Bore, Like this may be 464 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: the only opportunity in NFL history. We have to see 465 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 1: that it really might our only chance. So let's make 466 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: that happen. Um, all right, So you mentioned Adam Gaze 467 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: out of a job, not really of a surprise. If 468 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: you had to pick, if you got the chance to 469 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: pick the next head coach for the Jets, who would 470 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: you pick. This might sound like a cop out answer, 471 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: but I will take anyone that is not Brian Dabble 472 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: or Eric the Enemy, because I think both of those 473 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: two guys can be coaches of the next great offense. 474 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: Like I don't understand why the Chargers are calling Jason Garrett. 475 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: I don't get that one at all. I want one 476 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: of those two guys going there because I think Justin 477 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: Herbert and Keenan Allen and Ekeler, if you retain you know, 478 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: Williams or Henry like those, that offense is all the 479 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: pieces to be the next great one in this league. 480 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: I do not think the Jets do so selfishly. I 481 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: want the Jets to leave the good offensive minds to 482 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: other teams and then they can go get their pick 483 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: of any coach that's left. And I'm happy with you. Well, 484 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: you're not gonna like my answers. I want Brian Dable 485 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: to go like I mean, just seeing what he has 486 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: done with Josh Allen, right, I mean we we came 487 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: into this season and basically I felt like the report 488 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: on Josh Allen was, hey, he can run really well, 489 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: he's got a big strong arm, he's not accurate, you know, 490 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: maybe Stefan Diggs will help. And all of a sudden, 491 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: at the end of the year, he's got more Fantasy 492 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 1: points than any quarterback in the NFL, and a lot 493 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: of that is owed to the offense that they've put 494 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: together the way that Dabel has worked with him. And 495 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: so I think regardless of you know, whatever happens with 496 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: the Jets, they've got to figure out their quarterback situation, 497 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: right and maybe it is that they maybe they take 498 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: Justin Fields at number two, who knows, um, but they 499 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: got to figure something out. And after seeing what they 500 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: bol did with Josh Allen, um, you know, I wouldn't 501 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: mind turning the keys over to him and seeing way 502 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: he could do with with whoever the quarterback is going 503 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: to be. Now, who knows if it's Sam Donald, whether 504 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: not he's back. I know you said you feel like 505 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: he needs to go somewhere else. Um, So if if 506 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: you know, let's assume that he does not come back, 507 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: is there a spot you think would be good for 508 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: Sam Donald next year? There is a good amount of 509 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: QB needy teams out there. Um. I made a list 510 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: the other dayn pulling it up real quick. It is 511 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: here it is. I can't find my list now, Marcus, 512 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: but oh, here it is. So it's it's the Steelers, 513 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: the forty Niners, the Broncos, Washington and the Chicago Bears 514 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: are five teams that I could see playing with a 515 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: different quarterback in one and they did in of those 516 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: uh maybe Broncos or like the Bears. I I selfishly 517 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,239 Speaker 1: want to see Jamis Winston go to Pittsburgh because I 518 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: think that that would be a great fit. And I'm 519 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: not sure if Sam Donald can get the most out 520 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: of those pieces there, but I think he just needs 521 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: to go some or else get a fresh startup. I 522 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: feel really bad for him. I know you're a usc guy, Marcus. 523 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: He had a lot of hype coming out, and then 524 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: his head coaches for the last two years were Adam 525 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: Gates and before that it was Todd Bowles with a 526 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, clearly trying to rely on his defense. I 527 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: feel like the Jets did Sam Donald no favors. Like 528 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: you look at the pieces the the Bills put around 529 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. You look at the pieces the Browns put 530 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: around Baker Mayfield and the offensive weapon. I know, like 531 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: they didn't give Lamar Jackson great pieces. But he is 532 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: Mark Andrewsy is Marquis Brown, and he is a great 533 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: head coach and a great offensive coordinator. Sam Donald has 534 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: none of that. He has Jamison Crowder and Chris Herndon 535 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: and Adam Gates. So I think the Jerry is still 536 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: open for him, but I think he needs a fresh start, 537 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: and I think that Jet, the Jets needed fresh start, 538 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: because if you go into next season with Sam Donald, 539 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the hot seat, and within like 540 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: a month or two, fans are gonna be, especially justin 541 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: fields play as well, fans are just gonna be complaining 542 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: and wanting to turn on GM. So I think that 543 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: they need to trade Donald. Hey, maybe you're forty Niners. 544 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: Maybe uh bring him back out to your West coast. 545 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: You know, I've heard that, you know, as much as 546 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: it would be interesting to see him back out here 547 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: and in some variation of red and gold, some variation 548 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: of cardinal and gold like he was in college, I 549 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: don't know if he necessarily is a good fit in 550 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: a Kyle Shanahan offense, I'm not I'm not totally sold 551 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: on that. When you gave your list, the two teams 552 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned were the two teams I thought of, the 553 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: Broncos and the Bears. That just seem I don't know, 554 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: it just seems he seems really suited to be a 555 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: Chicago Bear. Um, I don't I don't have any real 556 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: logic as to why I just I can see him 557 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: in a Bear's uniform, and I could see him actually 558 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: doing well, especially if the Bears figure it out and 559 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: decide they want to resign Alan Robinson and keep him 560 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: around there. Um, we saw Darneld Mooney play well at 561 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: times down the stretch. I still think Cole Commet is 562 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: the tight end of the future. David Montgomery picked it 563 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: up at the end of the season, so it's not 564 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: all add in Chicago, so you know, I wouldn't I 565 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't be opposed to him going there, uh and maybe 566 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: playing for the for the Bears next year. You also 567 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: mentioned Denzel Mims uh and the fact that you know, 568 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: he there was nobody in this offense that really had 569 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: a breakout season. But let's say all the pieces fall 570 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: into place, right, they get a good head coach that 571 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: maybe they draft justin fields. Can you see Denzel Mims 572 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: being a breakout player in Yeah, I definitely can. Like, 573 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: I get it. It's hard to say that when his 574 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: season high this year was ten Fantasy points. Um, but 575 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: I I still like, I liked him coming into this 576 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: this year. Marcus. I didn't love him for Fantasy but 577 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: when we were you know, when it was draft time 578 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: and stuff. I was like, Denzel Mims is a wide 579 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: receiver that if he lands in the right spot, I 580 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: think he can be a fantasy impact player because I 581 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: like his abilities. He's a big body, really fast, really 582 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: athletic wide receiver. The one knock on him was his 583 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: cutting ability, but that was also a knock on DK Metcalf. 584 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he is going to be the 585 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: next DK Metcalf, but I think a lot of the 586 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: times with prospects, people get too hung up on one 587 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: thing that they do poorly, and they tend to overlook 588 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: all the many good things that a player can do 589 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: really well. And he MIM's is a field stretcher. The 590 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: one thing I didn't understand in college was how he 591 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: didn't do more damage after the catch, like he was 592 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: basically wherever he was catching the ball, like that's where 593 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: he was going down, And I didn't get it because 594 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: he's so big and so fast. But I think in 595 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: the right offense, in an offense that could give him 596 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: the ball in space or something like that, he definitely 597 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: has upside. And if if the Jets are coming in 598 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: next year with a combo of Brian Dabble calling the 599 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: plays and justin fields as quarterback and Denzel Mims as 600 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: their wide receiver. One. Yeah, I definitely think he can 601 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: break out in that situation. I think he is if 602 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm building my wide receiver corps, He's the guy that 603 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: right now I definitely want to build around. Jamison Crowder 604 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: has done really good things, but we also know at 605 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: this point who Jamison Crowder is. I think we've sort 606 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: of seen him hit his ceiling at this point. Breshad Periman, 607 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: I know they brought him in to maybe be a 608 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: field stretcher, but again, I feel like at this point 609 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: we sort of know who Brashade Peyraman is. Um. I 610 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: would like to see what Denzel Mims can do. I 611 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: know that right now, the the list of Baylor wide 612 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL is not a very good one. 613 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of going down the list, um and 614 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: I would say that the most productive one that is uh, 615 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: I guess currently in in the league. And even I 616 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: say currently as sort of you know an asterisk. Josh Gordon, 617 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: what I mean, what you got? You got Mims, you 618 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: got Jalen Hurd, who's hurt all year. Corey Coleman is 619 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: writing about him. Uh yeah, I think Jalen Hurd is 620 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: gonna gonna be something big, you know, when when he's 621 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: healthy and he's out there, I think he can be 622 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: very productive. But you know, Corey Coleman, I think is 623 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: is one out of the league at this point. He's 624 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: a free agent. I mean, Gordon has his indefinite suspension, 625 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: so we very well may never see him again. But 626 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: the list of Baylor wide receivers currently in the league 627 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: is not a very exciting one. I know that's you know, 628 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: every player is different. Just because you went to the 629 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: same school doesn't mean anything. Um. But you know, I 630 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe there's some professional pride in there. I 631 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: have no idea. Um. All right. That takes us to 632 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: the Texans, who in normal times would have the number 633 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: three overall pick. They traded that they don't have a 634 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: pick in the first round or the second round as 635 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: part of the trade for Laramie Tunsil. They don't have 636 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: the first or second round pick. They were four and twelve. 637 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: The Dolphins have their number three picks. So you've taken 638 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: a Dolphins team that is already putting something really good together, 639 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: that just missed the playoffs. That was a tin win 640 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: team this past year, and now the Dolphins get two 641 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: first round picks to try to make themselves even better, 642 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: while the Texans, who four and twelve are floundering around. 643 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: Uh they don't you know, they're figuring out their head 644 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: coach in general manager situation and they have no picks 645 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: in the first couple of rounds. Uh, what was good 646 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: for them? Twenty? Out of all this, Deshaun Watson and 647 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: Will Fuller and Brandon Cooks like like I think they're 648 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: they're passing game was the lone bright spot. I don't 649 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: think enough people realized member Marcus coming into the year 650 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: like we were. People were worried about the Shawn Watson. 651 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: He scored a career high Fantasy points this season, Like 652 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: he had a really good year. He's the only player 653 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL to have at least three hundred and 654 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: twenty Fantasy points in each of the last three seasons. 655 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: But I feel so bad for him because his prime 656 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: is really being robbed of us, not for fantasy purposes, 657 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: but for real life because of Bill O'Brien. Like he 658 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: traded away as top wide receiver, you got, you traded 659 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: away all your draft picks and now You're gone and 660 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson has to sit here and live with this 661 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: mess that you created. Um, but this is this is 662 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: a passing game offense that like, I love Deshaun Watson. 663 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: I was super high on Will Fuller coming into this year, 664 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: and I think he lived up to those expectations. I 665 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: think Brandon Cooks was better than a spected Kiki q 666 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: T was the thing at the end of the year. 667 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: I mean Jed Hansen was the thing at the end 668 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: of the year because John Watson, he is a super 669 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: bright spot for this team that doesn't have a lot 670 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: of bright spots. I yeah, I would agree with that. 671 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: I think it is all about Deshaun Watson, and I 672 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: had him on a couple of rosters there was for 673 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: me in drafts. Yeah, I knew I wasn't going to 674 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: reach and get a Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson where 675 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: they were coming off the board, but I was willing 676 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: to wait until you know, around four or five, six, 677 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: and so there were a handful of guys that I 678 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: drafted repeatedly. I got that Prescott in a league or 679 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: two unfortunately that you know didn't work out well because 680 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: of the injury. But I had Russell Wilson a lot 681 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: of spots, and I was also able to get Deshaun 682 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: Watson in a couple of spots. And I flashed back 683 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: to the first few weeks of the season when Watson 684 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: was scoring like, you know, sixteen eight teen points the 685 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: first few weeks, and there was that whole you know, oh, no, 686 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: is he really gonna fall off the clip? Does he 687 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: really need new Copkins to be there? And then he 688 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: turned it around and he is great the rest of 689 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: the season, and I don't think you really had to 690 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: worry about it. I mean, at the point, I just 691 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, that was a part of my lineup that 692 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: I just left it there. I didn't have to worry 693 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: about Deshaun Watson regardless of the matchup, because I knew 694 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: that he was going to be okay. What needs to 695 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,479 Speaker 1: get better though for the Texans? You know, the passing 696 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: game seems fine. Is it just as simple as they 697 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: got to fix their running game their offensive line? What 698 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: needs to be better for them next year? I think 699 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: I would like to see the old line improved, because 700 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: the one knock against Watson is he does take a 701 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: good amount of sacks. So I think the better protection 702 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: you could get for him, the better I think the 703 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: running game, but I don't really expect them to upgrade 704 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: it a whole lot because you just went out and 705 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: you traded DeAndre Hopkins for David Johnson and then you 706 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: have Duke johnson cylinder contract. Like it would not surprise 707 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: me if they drafted maybe a running back later in 708 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: the draft and went in just with those two veterans 709 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,479 Speaker 1: and a young running back. But my hope here is 710 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: that they re signed Will Fuller and they keep him 711 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: as their waters every one, and they keep the passing 712 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: game intact, and they desperately need to improve that defense. 713 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: But for fantasy, having a bad defense is a good 714 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: thing because it needs growing more. He threw a career 715 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: high in passing yards and touchdowns this year, So if 716 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: you want to keep the defense like it is, that's 717 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: cool with me. He yea. He ended up the ending 718 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: the year as the passing leader in terms of yardage, 719 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: so yeah, that that definitely helped out. That was one 720 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: thing you could sort of count on a week after 721 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: week because you knew the Texans were gonna give up 722 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: probably thirty points, which means Watson is gonna have to 723 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: throw the football to to keep them in games. So 724 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: because of that, right, I would say Deshohn Watson's ADP 725 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,439 Speaker 1: one around round five six something like that. Last year, 726 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: was he underdrafted considering all the things that he ended 727 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: up doing with you know, a good but not great 728 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: wide receiving corps. Is it is it possible that he 729 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: was underdrafted this past year? Um? I think he was 730 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: in the right spot because he was going in and 731 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: this was the first year, Marcus that I kind of 732 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: got away from the weight on quarterback approach and I 733 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,280 Speaker 1: started to take the fifth or sixth round quarterbacks because 734 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: to me, it was a group of so you had 735 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Lamar going early, but after that I had it. Dak, 736 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, Deshaun Watson, Josh Allen. All of 737 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: those quarterbacks ended up playing really really well this year. 738 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: Like Watson was top five, Kyler was top five, Josh 739 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: Allen was the QB one, Dak was putting up video 740 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 1: game numbers before he got hurt. Russell Wilson was the 741 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: QB six, and for most of the year we were 742 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: talking about him as an m v P candidate. So 743 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was under drafted. But I 744 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: do think the depth of the quarterback position lead like 745 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: he should. If all things were even, he would be 746 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: like a second or third round pick. Um. But because 747 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: quarterback is so deep, he does tend to fall. But 748 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: I think he did in the right tier of quarterbacks. Yeah, 749 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: I think so too, um, because it is what it is. 750 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: And I think his wide receiver group next year is 751 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 1: gonna look a lot like it did this year. Um. 752 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: But the fact that he was able to be so 753 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: heroic for fantasy. Um. But a group that was good, 754 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: not necessarily great. I mean they would have been I 755 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: think a different team maybe with DeAndre Hopkins. I don't know, 756 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: maybe they're defensively, they still would have been bad and 757 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: they still would have had to score a lot of points. 758 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: But I do think he was kind of in the 759 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: right spot. So I think we sort of got that 760 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: one right. Um. That being said, how do we feel 761 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: about David Johnson next season? Um? Alright, he was he 762 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: was okay. I guess that's the best I can say 763 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 1: about He was just okay this year. Like, how do 764 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: we feel about him next year? I'm not great? Like 765 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: I get it. Weeks fifteen and sixty and he had 766 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 1: big weeks twenty four and twenty nine fantasy points. It 767 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,399 Speaker 1: was because he had two touchdowns and one of them 768 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: and eleven catches and the other Besides that, he had 769 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 1: nineteen point nine in Week one, and every game between 770 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: that except for one he had thirteen fantasy points are less. 771 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: So I kind of viewed him each week as he's 772 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: gonna give you a eight eleven to thirteen fantasy points, 773 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: which to me is a low end RB two and 774 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,240 Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of He stilled some upside 775 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the year, but I'm not interested 776 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: in him in fantasy. He is another year older now, 777 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,760 Speaker 1: uh and on a team that obviously likes to pass 778 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: the ball. I just don't see what upside he brings. 779 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: He's a lot like levy On Bell was to me 780 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 1: coming into this year, more of a upside and namesake 781 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 1: than an actual production. I think when you're invoking levy 782 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: On Bell like that, that probably says a lot. And 783 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: you said he was a low end r B two, 784 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: and that's kind of where he finished as a low 785 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: end r B two, And I'm looking at the guys 786 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: sort of around him. I mean, he was just behind 787 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, who I thought had a good year but 788 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: had to split time with Leonard Fournette also had some 789 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:52,439 Speaker 1: injury issues late in the season. Jones next year, Yeah, yeah, 790 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: absolutely rather have Ronald. And I appreciate you say, because 791 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: I know how you felt about Ronald. I will admit 792 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: I was like, Ronald Jones is a good talented running 793 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: He's figured it out, Like I think he needed that 794 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: time the first year two and I think he is. 795 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,439 Speaker 1: He's here to stay now. Yeah, he's definitely figured it out. 796 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what the Bucks to do with 797 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: that backfield next year. Uh, you know, we'll we'll definitely 798 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: dive into that more whenever we get to the Bucks 799 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: portion of this of this series here. But yeah, you 800 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: don't think they're just gonna sign every veteran running back 801 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: that gets cut again. Maybe they do it just right, 802 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: they're like, hey, we stow what he did, but literally 803 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: breathing down his neck. Maybe we'll bring in you know, 804 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: like I don't know, Hey Todd Gurley, you want to 805 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: come on over what happened? That would sit perfectly, absolutely would. 806 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, David Johnson, I know, you know Adam Rank 807 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: kept wanting to try to get rid of him. All 808 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: year long and couldn't find any takers in a draft. UM. 809 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: And I think that he will be a guy that 810 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: too get drafted in a lot of leagues, but it 811 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 1: will probably be you know what, here's the thing. My 812 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: fear is that David Johnson turns into some version of 813 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard next year. UM. And maybe not that bad 814 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,399 Speaker 1: because at least dj can catch the ball where Jordan 815 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: Howard didn't, but where you are really relying on him 816 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: getting in the indome to get any kind of decent 817 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,720 Speaker 1: production next year. That's that's my fear of what happens 818 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:20,760 Speaker 1: to David Johnson. UM. Will Fuller was outstanding until getting 819 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: suspended late in the year for violating the drug policy, 820 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: the performance enhancing substance policy, UM does not have the 821 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: impact on his draft status next year. Do we just 822 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: forget about it and just look at what he did 823 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: on the field. So I'm gonna give you a two 824 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: part answer here. What I think the answer should be 825 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: is we overlook it, and we we look at what 826 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,959 Speaker 1: he did on the field, which was put up wide 827 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: receiver one numbers when he was healthy. What I think 828 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: is actually going to happen, though, is I do think 829 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: the suspension is going to lower his draft price, which 830 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: to me just makes him I'll be another guy another 831 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: year where I'm just all in on will Fuller like 832 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: I was his past year because I had him on 833 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: so many teams this year, Marcus, and when I drafted him, 834 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: on a lot of those teams he was either my 835 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver three or like my you know, flex option 836 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver four, where I thought, I don't have to 837 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 1: start this guy every single week, and by the midpoint 838 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: of the season like he was a no brainer. I'm 839 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: not even gonna think about sitting will Fuller because not 840 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: only has he was he so consistent week to week, 841 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: but we also saw and we we've seen it years 842 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: past that like when he is out there on the field, 843 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a player who has higher upside 844 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: than maybe Tyreek Hill, but he's in that same group 845 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: as them, like he has so much upside. But I 846 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 1: joined a one slow draft markets because I'm a maniac. Mainly, 847 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: I always like to do one of these at the 848 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: end of each season so that I can compare what changes, 849 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 1: you know, and like after the draft or whatever. And 850 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: will Fuller, it's dp that we have to draft with 851 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: so maybe that excuse it a bit. He went in 852 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,439 Speaker 1: the middle of the fifth round, which is the price 853 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: you had to pay for him from late August this year, 854 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: so not really seeing him climb up a whole lot, 855 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: to me is just a huge bond opportunity. Now. Yeah, 856 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: like if if if it ends up that he goes 857 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: back around the fifth round, sixth round, then I'm I'm 858 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: with you. I'm sort of back all in on him, 859 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I'm sort of trying to gauge 860 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: how everybody's feeling, you know, kind of at large, and 861 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: whether or not you're gonna get people that are sort 862 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,959 Speaker 1: of like, hey, you know, you know, the argument before 863 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: had been, well, he's always injury proneer, I know this 864 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,720 Speaker 1: isn't an injury, but you know that easily morphs into 865 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: he's just not available consistently when you need him to be. 866 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's going to impact his 867 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,959 Speaker 1: draft status at all next year, but you know, again, 868 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: if it does, if it pushes it down so that 869 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: he's still available in like the sixth round or seventh round, um, 870 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: I'm all in. I'm totally back on Will Fuller. There 871 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: are a lot of jokes when he got suspended like 872 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 1: this is the reason. And I knew it was jokes 873 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: at the time, but I would not be surprised if 874 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: that as a narrative that Lorris can come come the summer. 875 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: I can absolutely see that narrative forming that. You know, 876 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: what if he's if he's not, you know, violating rules, Um, 877 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: then does he stay healthy in one? But again, I'm 878 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 1: with you if if it depresses his a d p uh. 879 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: You know, if I get it with with Will Fuller 880 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: as like a third wide receiver or whatever, depending on 881 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: how I do my draft, I'm all about it. I'm 882 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: all about that life. Um. All right. This brings us 883 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 1: to the Falcons to sort of round out this version 884 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: of the exit interviews. They were four and twelve. They 885 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 1: are in the number four slots in the draft, and 886 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 1: they have their first round pick, so they'll actually pick 887 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,320 Speaker 1: in the fourth spot. UM. I can't figure out the 888 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: Falcons other than to say if there is a lead 889 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: to cough up, they will probably comp it up. That's 890 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: all I can really pinpoint with this team. What what 891 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: did you say from him that was good? In there 892 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,479 Speaker 1: are wide receivers. I think like Julio is up and down. 893 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 1: I know he missed a lot of time, but and 894 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: he was healthy. He still was Maybe he wasn't the 895 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: Julio of three years ago, but he was still a 896 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: very productive fantasy wide receiver. And then Calvin Ridley lived 897 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: up to not only did he live up to expectations, 898 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 1: which is hard to do in fantasy because people put 899 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: such lofty expectations on these players, but he also I 900 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: think exceeded them. Like a lot of people were like, 901 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: all right, he's a top like I had him in 902 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: my top fift team, but I did not have him 903 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: in my top ten. And a lot of people said 904 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: he's this year's Chris Godwin. But I think if you 905 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 1: pressed a lot of those fantasy players and said, do 906 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 1: you think he's going to finish top five like Godwin did, 907 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: they might have pumped the brakes on that a little bit. 908 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: He finished top five, just behind Adams, Hill, Digs and Hopkins, 909 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: so right behind the elite wide receivers this year. I 910 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: think he is a big bright spot for this team 911 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 1: this year and going forward. Yeah, Calvin Ridley really asserted 912 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: himself as an elite fantasy receiver. And I don't know 913 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: that anybody saw that as a major surprise. I mean, 914 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: we've we've seen that butting over the last up of years, 915 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 1: but I do think he really took that to the 916 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: next level this past year. But he was kind of 917 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: the one thing I think that was the most consistent 918 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 1: because he was healthy and he was productive every week. Um. 919 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: You know, you had issues pretty much everywhere else on 920 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: that offense. UM. And so you know, Calvin really is 921 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: another guy who will we'll talk about probably second round 922 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 1: next year. UM, but he he is. I think you know, 923 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with their quarterback position too, because 924 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be kind of an interesting conversation. 925 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 1: They're sort of tied into Matt Ryan for the next 926 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: year maybe two. UM. But I also wouldn't be surprised 927 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 1: if you see them draft the air apparent to Matt 928 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: Ryan coming up this year, because I think I think 929 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: that's that's a conversation that they have to have in 930 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 1: that building with a guy who was what six thirty 931 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 1: seven years old and he'll be thirty six uh next season, 932 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 1: So at that point, at some point, they got to 933 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,880 Speaker 1: start having that conversation down there in Atlanta. What what 934 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: needs to get better for this team? Well, for one, 935 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 1: they need to get a running a new running act. 936 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,840 Speaker 1: Like I think we all at the time when they 937 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 1: signed Todd Gurley were like, all right, well this isn't 938 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: the long term answer. Maybe they can get one more 939 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 1: good year on a Tod Gurley, and they weren't able to. 940 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: Like tal Gurley lost the job by the end of 941 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: the year to Edo Smith, who isn't anything special. We've 942 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 1: seen brown Hill mix in there, He's not anything special. Like, 943 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: I think they desperately need to upgrade the running game 944 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: and especially get a duel threat back. I think, like 945 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: a running back that can catch passes out of the 946 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: backfield as well, because we saw when the Falcons offen. 947 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: I know it's different coordinators and stuff, but when the 948 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 1: Falcons had DeVonta Freeman who was a legitimate pass catching 949 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,359 Speaker 1: thread out of the backfield, he would put up big 950 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 1: time passing game numbers and it would only help Matt Ryan. 951 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 1: So I think that is where they desperately need to upgrade. 952 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: I think they're set the rest of the offense with 953 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: with Hayden Hurst, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Russell gauge Um, 954 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 1: so old On and running back would be where I 955 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: would say to the I'm hoping that they upgrade. Running 956 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,359 Speaker 1: back definitely is a big spot for them. Offensive line 957 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 1: probably another one. You know, I'm curious what happens. Um 958 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 1: we talked about the quarterback position. I don't know if 959 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: they do anything at wide receiver with Julio getting older 960 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,799 Speaker 1: and kind of nearing the end of his contract, although 961 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: I feel like wide receivers nowadays are a lot easier 962 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: to come by, especially in the draft, so maybe they don't. 963 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: They don't do as much there, But running back is 964 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 1: a huge, huge need for this team in one. But 965 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: as we're talking about Julio Jones, we know he's still 966 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: very good and in real football, he is still one 967 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 1: of the best receivers in the league when he is 968 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: healthy and on the field. After this past year, though, 969 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: is he still an elite fantasy wide receiver? I do 970 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: not think so, because to me, elite is like top 971 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 1: five or so. Um. And when I did my early 972 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: top twelve wide receivers, I put him at twelve, and 973 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: I put him at twelve more so because like, all right, 974 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 1: he's still Julio. He could have uh, you know, another 975 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 1: big year and it wouldn't surprise me. But like I 976 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,240 Speaker 1: have him behind like young receivers like A J. Brown, 977 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, Calvin Ridley. I still have Allen Robinson ahead 978 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 1: of him now because Robinson's a free agent and hopefully 979 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: can get a better quarterback. But I do think Julio 980 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,760 Speaker 1: Jones can still put up wide receiver one type numbers 981 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: and Fantasy elite numbers. I don't know. I worry though, 982 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,240 Speaker 1: Marcus because help has been an issue for him throughout 983 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: his career, and I know the last couple of years 984 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 1: he's put that to bed, but this year it really 985 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: reared its ugly head again in a big way. He 986 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: only played nine games, very low Fantasy points per game 987 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: for him, and what I looked most at it's a 988 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,719 Speaker 1: narrative stat, but fantasy points per route ran, it's just like, 989 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 1: what are you doing when you're out on the field. 990 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: Are you able to make the most of your opportunities? 991 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,280 Speaker 1: And he's had a decrease the last two seasons. From 992 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, he was at zero point 993 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 1: six Fantasy points per route ran. The last two it's 994 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,680 Speaker 1: been more down at like zero point five. So starting 995 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 1: to see that slight decrease that doesn't sound like a 996 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: huge drop off, but in a stat like this, it's 997 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,799 Speaker 1: kind of a big one. So I do think that 998 00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 1: he's on the back end of the in a top 999 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: twelve wide receiver, which to me kind of makes me 1000 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: want to go in another direction because I'm a believer. 1001 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 1: I'd rather be off of a player a year early 1002 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 1: than a year late. I think that's going to be 1003 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: I think the narrative when we get to drafts next 1004 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 1: year and it's it's funny because I feel like we're 1005 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: gonna look back at Julio jones fantasy career. It feels 1006 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 1: like he was perennially underdrafted because for a long time, 1007 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 1: the narrative was, well, he just doesn't score touchdowns. And 1008 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,879 Speaker 1: I'm like, so what you get? You you know, close 1009 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,320 Speaker 1: to a hundred catches, uh, and you get your fourteen 1010 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,360 Speaker 1: fift hundred yards, So what you know, Like, I'll, you know, 1011 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 1: I'll figure out the rest of it. Now, it's going 1012 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 1: to be that well, Okay, injury hasn't been a major 1013 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,479 Speaker 1: issue in the sense of missing games before this year, 1014 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,839 Speaker 1: but you know, the last couple of years, how many 1015 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: times can we count where he's questionable going into a game? 1016 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: He's a game time decision. He plays and then he's 1017 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: just a decoy, and I think that's going to frustrate 1018 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people. And in a lot of ways, 1019 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: I sort of see this transition in Atlanta between Calvin 1020 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,879 Speaker 1: Ridley and Julio Joe Owns sort of the way they 1021 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: transition from Roddy White to Julio Jones. Where Roddy White 1022 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: was that that number one wide receiver and that mainstay 1023 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: in the passing game, and they draft Julio Jones and 1024 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: within a year or two, Roddy White was sort of 1025 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,399 Speaker 1: phased out and Julio became that dude. And now it's 1026 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 1: sort of the same or Julio has been that guy 1027 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: for a long time. Calvin Ridley has come in, and 1028 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: I think he's taking over as the number one receiver 1029 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 1: there in Atlanta. I mean, Father time comes for all 1030 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 1: of us not named Frank Gore. Uh so, so Julio Jones, 1031 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 1: I think it's sort of experiencing that, And I'm curious. 1032 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I would pay it right now. 1033 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 1: Let's say, okay, let's say it right now, Julio Jones 1034 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:45,399 Speaker 1: in round three? Do you do that or not? Probably not? 1035 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: I know it. It's a value there for sure, But 1036 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: I think that my approach is gonna be a lot 1037 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,200 Speaker 1: of get my running backs on my tight ends early. 1038 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: So I don't know if I go off of that 1039 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,359 Speaker 1: approach to grab a Julio Jones, would you take him 1040 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,960 Speaker 1: in the third round? Probably not, because I'm I'm feeling 1041 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,840 Speaker 1: I know, we've sort of talked about the fourth round 1042 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 1: and some of the guys that potentially are going to 1043 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,719 Speaker 1: be out there in the fourth round, and you know, 1044 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,960 Speaker 1: I just don't think so. I think round four I 1045 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 1: feel better. Maybe round five I feel great. Um. Round 1046 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: three feels a little bit too rich for me right now. 1047 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: Um Marcus. To your point though, you said, like when 1048 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,480 Speaker 1: it's all said and done, he's gonna be under drafted. Me, Like, 1049 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: was there every year where Julio Jones was the consensus 1050 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,759 Speaker 1: wide receiver one in fantasy? I know he's finished, like, 1051 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,919 Speaker 1: but in draft I don't think there was. I Yeah, 1052 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,759 Speaker 1: the only the only year I could think would have 1053 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 1: been twenties sixteen, because that twenty fifteen year you had 1054 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 1: a hundred thirty six catches, eighteen hundred yards, eight touchdowns. Um, 1055 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 1: that's all. That's the only year that I can think 1056 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 1: of in terms of that. Uh. And and I mean, 1057 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: let me look and see I'm gonna as I'm filibustering 1058 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 1: here seeing who kind of put you on the spot there, No, no, no, 1059 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,840 Speaker 1: it's fine, like this is this is the joy of 1060 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,439 Speaker 1: doing this audio show because like on the video show, 1061 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:08,920 Speaker 1: we couldn't like do this sort of stuff, so like 1062 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 1: we get sort of filibuster. So here's the thing that 1063 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: was maybe his best year fantasy wise, but um an 1064 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 1: Tonio Brown had the same number of catches, just slightly 1065 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: fewer yards and more touchdowns. So so it might it 1066 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 1: might be that he's never been the consensus number one 1067 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver because you know, a B was was walking 1068 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 1: the earth and doing his thing at that point. So 1069 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 1: if if it was in a world where Antonio Brown 1070 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,279 Speaker 1: doesn't exist, we are talking about Julio Jones is one 1071 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 1: of the best wide receivers ever. I think absolutely absolutely. 1072 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,400 Speaker 1: Um Is Matt Ryan still draftable as a fantasy quarterback 1073 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,719 Speaker 1: next year? I think so, I but as a QB 1074 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: two Like so I did my early QB one rankings 1075 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,800 Speaker 1: and like I did not have them in my top thirteen. 1076 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: But I think he comes in that next group. Like, 1077 00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 1: uh so some quarterbacks I had ahead of him. You 1078 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: know the obvious elite guys, but then I had I 1079 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 1: have Herbert ahead of him, Hurts, Taysom Hill if he 1080 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 1: is the starter, uh Tan Hill, Joe Burrow. But I 1081 00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,799 Speaker 1: think after that there would be a tear of like 1082 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 1: QB two's that has Trevor Lawrence in it for some 1083 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: upside Tom Brady, uh, Matt Ryan. Because those are quarterbacks. 1084 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: I think that in the right matchup, or like if 1085 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 1: they're at home, for those guys who play indoors like, 1086 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 1: you can use them and stream them there. So if 1087 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: I wait on a quarterback, I think those are one 1088 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,280 Speaker 1: of the fallback options you can get. But are they 1089 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,880 Speaker 1: Is Matt Ryan anymore a quarterback that I think you 1090 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 1: need to draft as your starter? No way. Yeah, you know, 1091 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 1: I think if you are still doing the weight on 1092 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback, if you want to wait until the double 1093 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,840 Speaker 1: digit rounds for a quarterback, Matt Ryan is going to 1094 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 1: be one of those guys that that you pick up, 1095 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: that you you target there because you know the ceiling 1096 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: is still fairly high. Now. The problem this year is 1097 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 1: that you know the floor was was a little bit 1098 00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 1: low at times, and that is what worries me. But 1099 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,920 Speaker 1: then again, I also feel Like, if you're waiting till 1100 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 1: the tenth round to draft a quarterback, you're probably okay 1101 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,799 Speaker 1: with streaming guys. You're not. You're not taking a guy 1102 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 1: in the tenth round and expecting that that player is 1103 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 1: going to be your bona fide starting of no matter 1104 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,919 Speaker 1: what sort of guy you're drafting, the Matt Ryan, maybe 1105 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,319 Speaker 1: you're drafting another guy probably with the last pick, or 1106 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 1: you're just gonna hit the waiver wire every week and 1107 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna play matchups more often than that, because I 1108 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,400 Speaker 1: just can't imagine you're gonna ride for you know, twelve 1109 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: thirteen games consecutively with Matt Ryan. Um, it's just just 1110 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I don't think. Uh, you talked about 1111 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 1: the running game, is there running? Is there areb one 1112 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,479 Speaker 1: for next season on the roster right now? I don't 1113 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 1: think so. Like I I it hurts me to say, 1114 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,719 Speaker 1: but Todd Gurley might be out of the league next year. 1115 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: He played that poorly this season. I think like Edo 1116 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 1: Smith and Brian Hill, like those are death pieces. Like 1117 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 1: if you're like I think, in their ideal world, those 1118 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,799 Speaker 1: guys would have been solid backups if Todd Gurley lived 1119 00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 1: up to expectations he clearly did not. Um, I think 1120 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 1: they either need to draft a running back and we've 1121 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: seen it, Marcus, Like, yes, there's still these high end 1122 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: running backs that you can take in the first round. 1123 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,359 Speaker 1: But you could find a start NFL starting running back 1124 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: in like rounds three or four of the NFL drafts, 1125 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 1: sometimes even later. So take a shot on a couple 1126 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: of young running backs, maybe sign someone, but do something 1127 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 1: because I do not think at all that there RB 1128 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 1: one is on their roster ring now. It wouldn't be 1129 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 1: surprised if we see them, you know, third round later. Uh, 1130 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 1: take some shots at some running backs in this draft. 1131 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of spots they've got to fill, 1132 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of issues to to kind of 1133 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 1: work out. But UM, running back to one of them. 1134 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,359 Speaker 1: We know they're not gonna spend a high draft pick 1135 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 1: on them, because that's just not what teams do generally nowadays. 1136 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,240 Speaker 1: But they cannot go back into one with the running 1137 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,319 Speaker 1: back stable that they have. All right, So let's say 1138 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 1: that takes care of the top four in our draft. 1139 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 1: WILL have some more for you on Thursday, will do 1140 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,840 Speaker 1: UH picks five through eight, five through eight, UH and 1141 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,680 Speaker 1: out of those for you as well as we kind 1142 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,839 Speaker 1: of continue our exit interviews all throughout the season and 1143 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, as we get you know a little further on, 1144 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,840 Speaker 1: is we have teams that lose in the playoffs, uh 1145 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: and and whatever we'll we'll add those in as well. 1146 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: One of the of the fun as we we wrap 1147 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: up here calling at the three Ring Circus when we 1148 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:23,720 Speaker 1: picked three of a topic. Uh and this week, because 1149 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 1: what I finally did is I finally dove into Cobra Hi. 1150 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 1: Have you watched this at all? Flour? I haven't, but 1151 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,600 Speaker 1: I've heard great things from everyone who has. So I 1152 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,359 Speaker 1: blew through season one pretty quickly, and I was mad 1153 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 1: that it took me this long to watch it, because 1154 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 1: it's great. It's a lot of fun. Um. You know. 1155 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 1: It takes the Karate Kids story and sort of flips 1156 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: it thirty years later. Johnny Lawrence is kind of a 1157 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: down and out and and Daniel LaRusso went on to 1158 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 1: become this big, you know, card dealer and he's super 1159 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,239 Speaker 1: rich and lives in Encino and and all this stuff. Uh, 1160 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 1: and they end up sort of butting heads together. Is 1161 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 1: Johnny gets the Cobra Kai dojo up and running again, 1162 00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,279 Speaker 1: but it's awesome, and it made me think, like, if 1163 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 1: you could pick three movies that deserves sort of like 1164 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,439 Speaker 1: a a TV treatment, a TV spin off, what would 1165 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,800 Speaker 1: they be? I don't want. I don't know. If Steve, I, 1166 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if you threw three in there, If 1167 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 1: you got three, oh well then you got you. You 1168 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 1: sound like you're ready to go. If you have three, 1169 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 1: what what three would you go with? You want all 1170 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,440 Speaker 1: three right now? One to three? Yeah, I just knock 1171 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 1: them out, all right? All right? The next version of 1172 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: the Office Anchorman. Oh, I can see that. Yeah, we 1173 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:38,799 Speaker 1: got that. Um. I am still watching Batman on an 1174 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,839 Speaker 1: animated cartoon. I want to see Batman real life, not 1175 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,919 Speaker 1: twelve year old Batman like in Gotham real life right 1176 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 1: now fighting Mr Freeze Penguin Scarecrow. Although I don't know 1177 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:54,799 Speaker 1: how it hasn't happened. I need that, like yesterday. Those 1178 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 1: are My Safe Too and My Risky One. UM. I 1179 00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 1: don't think it's a good horror show out there right 1180 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,800 Speaker 1: now for TV or and streaming. Uh, they have American 1181 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,760 Speaker 1: horror story out there, but it's really more of a thriller. 1182 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 1: I want Halloween Michael Myers every twenty or forty minutes 1183 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:13,760 Speaker 1: that depending on how long you want to do the episodes, 1184 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 1: you have a big cliffhanger opportunity, like they're hiding in 1185 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,280 Speaker 1: the closet, Michael Myers coming in. I think that could 1186 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 1: be a really good get together show. It's high risk. 1187 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 1: It's high risk, but I think there's this could be 1188 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,800 Speaker 1: really fun. When it's TV series, you have to do that, 1189 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 1: like on HBO or Netflix or something where you can 1190 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 1: definitely where you were outside of the bounds of the 1191 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 1: FCC and you can do that. Yeah, this is not 1192 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,040 Speaker 1: a rated G show. That's I mean, this is not 1193 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,320 Speaker 1: gonna be on ABC anytime soon. All I'm saying, all right, Florida, 1194 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 1: did you have three? I do? I struggled with this though, 1195 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 1: because for me, I kept thinking of TV shows that 1196 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: I would like to see as movies. So I was 1197 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 1: doing the exact opposite. Um, So I went with my 1198 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,560 Speaker 1: first my my two favorite movies, and they're kind of 1199 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: I think they would be solid TV shows, like Good 1200 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 1: Fellows is my favorite movie of all time, So I 1201 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,920 Speaker 1: think that could be like the second Coming of Sopranos. 1202 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 1: You have a lot of cliffhangers, like when someone's about 1203 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,480 Speaker 1: to get whacked or something like that. I love Pirates 1204 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 1: of the Caribbean, the original, so I would pick that 1205 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,680 Speaker 1: one because I don't think there's a Pirate show on 1206 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 1: TV at least not a good one right now, and 1207 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 1: I've always loved Pirates, so I would pick that as one. 1208 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 1: And then the third one I really struggled on. Um 1209 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 1: I I thought about The Dark Night, and then one 1210 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 1: of my buddies texted me and was like, why not 1211 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 1: American Pie? And I was like, you know what, Like 1212 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:36,200 Speaker 1: that could be a really good sitcom that like it's 1213 00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: like high school college kids just doing what college and 1214 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 1: high school kids do. And I think that that would 1215 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,000 Speaker 1: be like a good hearty, like good hearted TV show. 1216 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,720 Speaker 1: I love that one. Actually, I think that I think 1217 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,000 Speaker 1: that actually that translates well, especially for Death Flix. I 1218 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 1: think would be would be great. Um Okay, so my 1219 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: I went kind of nineties action movie in a lot 1220 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 1: of ways. My first one would be I love the 1221 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 1: movie Desperado Richard Rodriguez Robert Rodriguez with Antonio Banderis, and 1222 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,960 Speaker 1: I want I want Antonio Bandaris's character to run some 1223 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: like Mandalorian type side missions that's like that's just the 1224 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 1: whole show where he's like, you know, he's a man, 1225 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,440 Speaker 1: he's a mariachi going from town to town and he 1226 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: like helps people or whatever, and then he like plays 1227 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,919 Speaker 1: a gig at the local cantina or something like that. 1228 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:23,160 Speaker 1: So that's what I wanted, Um, the movie Galaxy Quest. Duh, 1229 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,400 Speaker 1: that's just my episode of the Galaxy Quest. Right, let's 1230 00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,920 Speaker 1: do that sign a Star Trek style. Let's just do 1231 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,440 Speaker 1: Galaxy Quest as a TV show. The third one. I 1232 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,600 Speaker 1: I sort of I sort of cheated here, right, I 1233 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 1: know this is my topic, and I sort of cheated 1234 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 1: on it. Um because I've always wanted a season of 1235 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,439 Speaker 1: the show twenty four where it's just Jack Bower's day off. 1236 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: We're like, every episode is just Jack doing mundane. They're like, 1237 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,880 Speaker 1: I just want an episode of like Jack in line 1238 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 1: at the bank or whatever, or like Jack, you know, 1239 00:59:55,040 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 1: having coffee and reading the newspaper stuff like that. You 1240 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,920 Speaker 1: just started waiting for something to happen, but it happened. 1241 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 1: Never does nothing ever does? Right, Like maybe he gets 1242 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,919 Speaker 1: mad because like the neighbor's dog pooped on his lawn 1243 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 1: and didn't pick it up or something like that. Like 1244 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:13,960 Speaker 1: that's where he explodes. Uh, that's that's what it is.
