We talk football 14 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: and the boys. Here Andrew Erickson, Debro, Derek Brown, the 15 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 2: King of Bros. Are going to help me out today 16 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: give some rookie insights to some guys who might be 17 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: able to really change the landscape. And I know we 18 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: talked a lot about rookies, but this is a little 19 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: condensed version here, so let's chat here. In the short 20 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: version is the cliff notes for those of you who 21 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: don't want to read the entire book. So Andrew Rickson, 22 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: Let's start with you. I want you to give me 23 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: a high level rookie that has league winning potential in 24 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. 25 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 3: Who would that be? 26 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: A healthy Jordan Tice wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints. 27 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest knock on Tyson during 28 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: the pre draft process was can this guy stay healthy? 29 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: Is he going to miss games? That's still in his 30 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: range of outcomes. We don't know if he's going to 31 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: play a full seventeen game slate here in twenty twenty six, 32 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: but when he's, when he's on the field and playing, 33 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: I think that he's going to be very productive. You 34 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: look at his fit with Tyler Schuck in this Kellen 35 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: Moore offense, I think there's a men's upside here. And 36 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: even if he is the number two to Chris Olave's 37 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: number one. Last year, before the team traded away Rashichiheed, 38 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: both guys were seeing a ton of volume. Rashichihed was 39 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: fifteenth in the NFL among wide receivers and targets weeks 40 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: one through nine, and that was with Spencer Ratler as 41 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: his quarterback. 42 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: For most of those games. 43 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: Olave and Shahid combined for seventeen targets per game. So 44 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: even as a number two quote unquote on the offense, 45 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: I still think there's plenty of volume for Jordan Tyson here. 46 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: He was also a top ten pick selected eighth overall. 47 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: Over the last five drafts, the average for a top 48 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: ten selected wide receiver is seventy eight catches for one 49 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: forty five yards and six point four touchdowns. I talked 50 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: about that stat when I was talking about Tetorod McMillan 51 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: last year, when we were like, guys, we got both 52 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: with this guy for offensive Rookie of the Year. You 53 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: got to bet this sixteen to one. 54 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, And what did he do? 55 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: His numbers were basically right in line with that average 56 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: of a top ten guy. It's seventy catches for over 57 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: one thousand yards and seven touchdowns. So I think that 58 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: this range, which would be a fantasy wide receiver too, 59 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: is well within Jordan Tyson's reach. And the thing that 60 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: I like him for a league winner potential is he's 61 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: going to be significantly cheaper than the other top ten 62 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: wide receiver that was, like the Cardinal Tate, because Tit 63 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: is just going to be drafted as his team's number 64 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: one Tyson will not. He's going to always be drafted 65 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: behind chrys Olove, which I think when you look at 66 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: the final production, maybe he's a little bit closer, but 67 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: the price is going to be very, very stark. So 68 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: I love Jordan Tyson and drafts and redraft this year. 69 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: The cost effectiveness of Jordan Tyson is very intriguing to me. 70 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: I agree. The theme of the show is about shocking everybody. 71 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna ask you, Derek Brown, would shock you 72 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: to see healthy season from Jordan Tyson? 73 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: Wouldn't shock man? All boys? 74 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: Okay? 75 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 3: And I'd love the uh. I love the average and 76 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: all the statistics that Ericson pointed out there, because that 77 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: perfectly just leads me right into Carnell Tate. Like take 78 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 3: those averages and let's go and it to Erickson's point, 79 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Jordan Tyson going to right now in rankings, 80 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: I mean ADP, Like we're talking about all this, so 81 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: there is no ADEP right now. So like with Jordan 82 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 3: Tyson in rankings, he's wide receiver thirty five right now. 83 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: Carnel Tate wide receiver thirty so not a huge discrepancy. 84 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: Now again, we'll could see that change as we go 85 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: through the summer and stuff. But Carneal Tate, I want 86 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: to be investing guys. Like we talked about Ericson talked 87 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 3: about the law of averages for guys selected top ten again, Like, 88 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: let's talk about the talent of Carnell Tate. Please do 89 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: not talk about the fact that he wasn't the number 90 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: one on his own offense in college. That is a bunch. 91 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: That is a crap narrative. Just get away from it. 92 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: Let's not talk about also about how he's not fast enough. 93 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: Please can we debunk all of this crap? Like Tate 94 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: is really freaking good at football. You're telling me he 95 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: ranked tenth in yards per route run last year. He's 96 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: a deep threat attached to cam Ward. You look at 97 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: the context of this passing offense with Brian dave All, 98 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: you know, controlling everything. What do we get from Calvin 99 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: Ridley this year? What what is that? Do we get anything? 100 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 3: Because he can't seemingly stay healthy, guys, and last year 101 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 3: the bibela fracture hamstring issues and he's older on top 102 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: of it, exactly another year older entering his age thirty 103 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: two season. Like we know who Wanda Robinson is and 104 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 3: who he isn't a true number one wide receiver. He 105 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 3: is not Carnell Tate is, and I will be paying 106 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: up for Carnel Tate and. 107 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: Drafts ericson, aren't you entering your thirty two age season 108 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 2: pretty soon? I feel like we're close to. 109 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 3: That already, Thirsty, I hear as hell, bro, and he's 110 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 3: a going problems. 111 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, just the guys go. He's just days away from 112 00:04:50,880 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 2: two ervin handholding ericson this time last year, remember how 113 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: sour Debro was on Everything New Orleans, right. He hated 114 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: the draft, he hated Tyler Shut, he hate all this stuff. 115 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: You know. I feel like he put I feel like 116 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: he put all of his Saint stuff into like a trunk, 117 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: and they like put it in the attic, and I 118 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: feel like, I don't know, in the last couple of weeks, 119 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: I feel like he's kind of like went into the attic, 120 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: you know, dusted some of the trunk of Clark Riswold 121 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: up there getting smacked in the face with the floorboards. 122 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 2: And then he gets his little Saints hat out and 123 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: gets a little little pennant and maybe he's putting it 124 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: back to this office. You getting the feeling like you're 125 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: starting to get excited about the Saints again because I 126 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 2: feel like he is Andrew because. 127 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: Saints are making a lot of great moves and that 128 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: continued in the NFL draft. The roster looks like it's 129 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: in an area where Kellen Moore, I think, showed out 130 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: with rookie quarterback last year, showed flashes. So I think 131 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: that and NFC South, anyone can win that division. They're 132 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: all gonna have eight nine wins. But it's all said 133 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: and done, and when it's surprised me at all to 134 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: see the Saints takeout on that division all right. 135 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 2: By the way, tomorrow, we're recording an amazing show. Actually 136 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: it's a series of shows on the Tailgate are channel 137 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 2: Tailgate NFL.

Okay, so let's. 151 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: Get if the Patriots are top top two. 152 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: Bro, I'm a businessman. Okay, I'm all bitness yere. Let's 153 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 2: stay business and let's talk about the sleepers here, because 154 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: everybody loves a good sleeper. De bro, why don't you 155 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: take this one first? Who is a sleeper in the 156 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: rookie class? A good shock everyone in twenty twenty six? 157 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 3: Right now, people are not projecting Kevin Coleman Junior to 158 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 3: be a starter for the Miami Dolphins, and they are wrong. 159 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: He's gonna light it up in camp. I think when 160 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: we get to week one, I think he is going 161 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 3: to be a starting wide receiver for this team. I'm 162 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 3: not worried about Chalen Tolbert. I'm not worried about Malik Washington. 163 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: I don't think he's not worried about any other random 164 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: name that we're going to talk about. I'm not worried 165 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,559 Speaker 3: about Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman Junior like the talent 166 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: is real, like the NFL lets the slot archetype wide 167 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: receivers drop. We see this year after year. A lot 168 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: of these guys do not get drafted unless they run 169 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: like a blazing forty and then the NFL pushes them 170 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: up into round two. But Kevin Coleman Junior of the 171 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 3: last two years seventeenth and fifth and miss tackles forced. 172 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: He leaves college with a seventy fourth percentile collegiate target share. 173 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: He plays bigger than his size. He had a fifty 174 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 3: three point seven percent collegiate contested catch rate. There is 175 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: some verticality to his game. Guys, if he could be 176 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: this year and I'm going Green Bay South here, if 177 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: he could be the Jaden Reed of South Beach, I'll 178 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: not gonna be shot by it at all. 179 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 2: That's actually I like that. I think that that would 180 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: be a very very useful sleeper because I feel like 181 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: Jade Reid was a guy too that kind of really 182 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: snuck up on people his rookie season two and people 183 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: were not prepared and then it happened, if you recall, 184 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: and people still didn't want to pick him up. Remember 185 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: they're like, I don't know, I don't want to chase 186 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: week one and they're like two weeks and it feels 187 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: very fluky. It was hilarious. We almost had to like 188 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: browbe people from the Waiver Wires show to get them. 189 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: Into Jane Reid. 190 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: So all right, let's talk Andrew ericson sleepers on your end. 191 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 2: Who do you think could shock everybody? 192 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: Joan Coleman, running back for Denver Broncos, selected one hundred 193 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: and eighth overall by Denver in round four. Now we 194 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: all know this rookie running back class. Outside the top 195 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: two guys, there was not a lot of shock in 196 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: terms of, Okay, we're really excited about this running back. 197 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 2: My bit, it's my bag. 198 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, already stole the show. 199 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm going that's a problem. I think Coleman fits exactly 200 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: what the Broncos need for a backup to JK. Dobbins, 201 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: who look, at this point, Jake Dobbins is never gonna 202 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: play a full season. We've seen him play year year 203 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: year out and he never finished the season. Even if 204 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: he's efficient when he does actually play and he's on 205 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: the field, like I think Dobbins is going to probably 206 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: be a decent draft pick this year, but it's just 207 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: a matter of, well, for how long can he be 208 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: the early down running back for the Denver Broncos If 209 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: he missed his time, well, I think Joan of Coleman 210 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: bowling ball five nine two twenty nine pounds. This guy 211 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: is built to take on tacklers. Last year was hit 212 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage thirty six percent of his rushes, 213 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: which was the most among running backs in this class. 214 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: I think that he offers a lot of juice as 215 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: both a rusher or as a receiver and a pass bucker. 216 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: He had the second most pass per reps in the 217 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: class last year two point three yards per outrun and 218 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: the stat that keep gravitating towards in terms of well 219 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: they're going to trust him in pass protection, which R J. Harvey, 220 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: we still don't know. If they trust him in those 221 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: types of situations, then trust him as a rookie last year, 222 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: so Coleman averaging nearly thirty receiving yards per game in 223 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: his final season at twenty nine and a half. He 224 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: was also playing through injuries last year, which is why 225 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: he didn't do basically any testing why his numbers overall 226 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: were down from the years prior why he fell in 227 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: the draft reminds me a little bit of Camp Kataboo 228 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: right when Skataboo fell in the draft, because he didn't 229 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: run a forty, he's really slow. Well, he caught passes 230 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: out of the back, and that matters to me. You 231 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: look at the running backs drafted on Day two or 232 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: earlier that average at least thirty receiving yards per game 233 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: in their final season. Now, general Coleman doesn't technically qualify 234 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: for this because he wasn't drafted on Day two, but 235 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: if he was drafted eight slots earlier, he would join 236 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: a list of Saquon Barkley, David Johnson, Joe Mixon, Antonio Gibson, 237 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: Najee Harris, Travis A chan For, Sean White, Zack Charbone, 238 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: Jimir Gibbs, and Omaron Hampton. And last year Skatabu just 239 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: missed this list as well because he was drafted four 240 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: slots after round three. So Coleman has a lot to 241 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: his profile that you like, and Sean Payton likes to 242 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: use multiple running backs. I think we could see Coleman 243 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: at some point during this year leading the Broncos and 244 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: potentially carries. 245 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 2: Debro have you. Actually, I should say, I'm going to 246 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: give you the opportunity to retire from trying to figure 247 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 2: out the Denver Broncos backfield. I feel like this is 248 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 2: a good time to do that before the season starts. 249 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: Do you want to take my yep, take me. 250 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: Up on it? 251 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: Good? 252 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, put me out to pasture. I'm ready for 253 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 3: the glue factory. I want you to. 254 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: I want you, I want you to let Andrew handle 255 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos backfield from now on. It's all Andrew everybody. 256 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: When you see, as. 257 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 3: Long as we're not talking about Broncos receivers, I think 258 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: we're good. Right now. 259 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: Well, let's not do that, all right, Let's talk about 260 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: one more thing here out of town today. Let's talk 261 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: about uh, some guys that might have that potential to 262 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 2: not just to shock the world, but also like, let's 263 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 2: do bold prediction kind of stuff. Let's really put it 264 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: out there for somebody. Andrew Erickson put it out there, 265 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: give me a bold prediction here for one of these 266 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 2: rookies and something they could possibly amaze us. All in 267 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. 268 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 3: With. 269 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: Former Clemson wide receiver and Commander's third round draft pick 270 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: Antonio Williams leads the team in receptions, so he's projected 271 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: to me under that scenario. Now McLaurin is not hurt. 272 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: You look at Antonio Williams in this offense, I think 273 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: that he can be the starting slot receiver from day one. 274 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: You know who had one of the most high slot 275 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: rates in the NFL last year in terms of routes 276 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: from the slot, Deebo Samuel He's gone, he's not coming 277 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: back to the Washington Commanders. So there is a built 278 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: four role for Williams to be this underneath option. They 279 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: talked about and a lot of these pressers after they 280 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: drafted Williams that, yeah, mclaurin's still going to be our 281 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: stretch the field type of ex boundary wide receiver, whereas 282 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: Antonio Willims is going to be the underneath guy who 283 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: has been seeing almost as just as much volume as 284 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin of the last two seasons, zach Ertz, if 285 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: he's taking on that type of volume last two years 286 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: when they've played together, zach Ertz and Tarry McLaurin, they've 287 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: averaged both around four and four and a half receptions 288 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: per game. But the other guy was healthy, so McLaurin. 289 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: I get that he is a number one wide receiver, 290 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: but if you look at his target shares every year, 291 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: he's not an alpha target earner. There are other guys 292 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: that eat in this offense. Even last year when he 293 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: was healthy, Deebo Samuel ended up having a decent amount 294 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: of volume in some of these games. So David Bloud, 295 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders, where's he 296 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: come from? Detroit Ben Johnson offense m maybe known for 297 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: heavily featuring a slot wide receiver. So Antonio Williams again 298 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: very key here with receptions. McLaurin probably still gonna have 299 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: more yards, probably have more touchdowns, probably gonna have more 300 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: Fantasy points, but full ppr Antonio Williams unless they make 301 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: a big splashy veteran signing. I mean, at this point, Brandon, 302 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: I you like, what state is he in? Like? 303 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: Literally? 304 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: Like warn you? 305 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: Like like legitimately what location? 306 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think he's in California. 307 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 3: Somebody needs to turn on to find me up. 308 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: It's interesting because John Lynch keeps talking about the K 309 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: and contact with this guy doesn't does Jane Daniels lot 310 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: to have him on the phone. Like, does he have 311 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: a cell phone number? 312 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: What are we doing? 313 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 3: So? 314 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Williams could be a starter here and 315 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: see a lot of volume. I think that he's pretty 316 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: intriguing from a prospect profile standpoint. Broke out an early 317 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: age double. Some injuries last year, but when he was 318 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: healthy last year, averaging over six catches per game, basically 319 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: one of the only positive things that worked in Clemson 320 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: offense when he was actually healthy. So that's my bull prediction. 321 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 2: All right, d Bro shocked me with a Bowl prediction 322 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: of the rookie class. 323 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: Go and I'm drinking the Saints kool aid. Here, boys, 324 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 3: I'm not I'm back on the vandwagon. I'm here for it, 325 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 3: and we're gonna tie this all together. We're gonna go 326 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 3: back to originally Ericson's first player he talked about. But 327 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 3: I'll cast the net wider. If Jordan Tyson and Chris 328 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 3: Olave one of them is not able to stay healthy, 329 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: Oscar Delp will be the wide receiver two by the 330 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 3: end of the season, supplanting Juwan Johnson. I'm not worried 331 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: you have no offense as the starting tight end for 332 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 3: the New Orleans Saints and be the wide receiver two 333 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 3: of this passing attack, Oscar Delp. Dude, Like everybody is 334 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 3: sleeping on the fact this dude is an athletic monster. 335 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: It's not my fault George is too stupid to throw 336 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: them the ball. It's not my fault that the Georgia 337 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 3: quarterback is horrible. This guy is a nine point eighty 338 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: six ras. He is four point four to nine speed. 339 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: He did that, oh, by the way, running on a 340 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 3: bum foot. He walked out away from the athletic test 341 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: and with a ninety six percentile vert and broad jump. 342 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: It all shows up on his film. The Saints put 343 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 3: respect on his name by drafting him in the third round. 344 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: Juwan Johnson is somebody that looked like until every other 345 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: wide receiver talent has either been traded away or fallen 346 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 3: on their face, has never commanded consist of playing time 347 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: and targets in the Saints passing attack. Delp can do 348 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 3: that this year and again, going back to the analytics, 349 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 3: tenth and twenty third amongst FBS tight ends over the 350 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 3: last two years and yack per reception. Also, he can 351 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: block seventy four percent in line last year. So this 352 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: is not like a slot guy or a Dalton kid 353 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: Kaid type where it's, oh he's out there for passing downs, 354 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 3: but good lord, he can't block for crap. So Oscar 355 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: Delp could be a massive winner this year. 356 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: You know what's funny, d I think that you know, 357 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: you go back and always look at these Georgia prospects 358 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: two over time. I remember a big knock on lad 359 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: McConkey was, you know, he didn't put up a lot 360 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: of numbers in college, you know. And then I remember 361 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: George Pickens, like statistically didn't really put up a lot, 362 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: you know, had some big. 363 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 3: Splash plays and he had some issues and things. 364 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: But we love the profile of these guys. We love 365 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: the pro file. Feels like you just tell me the 366 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: same thing. It's like, hey, everybody, this is an NFL 367 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: talent that profiles really well for the NFL. So you 368 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: can kind of ignore a little bit of the lack 369 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: of statistical production because I think Georgia just chooses to 370 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 2: do Georgia things sometimes and the way they choose to 371 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: run their offense. And you know, back in those days too, 372 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: where they were just dominating everybody too, they didn't have 373 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: to push things. They were just crushing teams. So they 374 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: would sit back and run the footballcause they were winning 375 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 2: Gaze by twenty thirty points a lot. So you got 376 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 2: to context sometimes some of these college stats too. If 377 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: the knock on delp is the college stats and lack thereof. 378 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes you got a little, you know, dig a 379 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: little deeper than the surface of some of those conversations. 380 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: So that's what we did today.
