Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Live Podcast. James Co here with you,

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: joined alongside by Matt Harmon. I didn't want to give

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: the full three introductions. Yeah, I appreciate that. Just just

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: being known by my name is kind of a nice

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: change of place, A little bit I'm good, just trying

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: to keep up with the friends. I can't do it.

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: I can't do it. It's too much. It's tough because

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: yesterday I came in and was writing, basically writing all

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: day this free agent receiver recap that I had um

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: and it was just like, how do you not want

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: to be just glued to Twitter and glued to TV?

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: Is like all the things are coming in and everything

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: is happening. I've got takes. Yeah, well that's another thing too.

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: It's like I don't feel they need to fire off

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: a take every time somebody's signs. You can't, right, But

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: but it's definitely like you just want to. I just

32
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: want to keep up with it so that I can

33
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: know and digest it. Yeah, I hear that. Man. It's

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: such a fun time. It's the best, it really is.

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: It's the absolute best. This is like the intersection of

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: peak free agency obviously, and we're still doing like draft

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: analysis and everything. It's like, but if you tweet about

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: the draft right now, it's like you get washed away.

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: So it's fun. Marcus in the building, what's up? I

40
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: guess I have to give a weather update because that's

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: my thing. What a shock it's been raining. It has

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: been so speaking of this actually sort of, but it's

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: been it's been nice because there's no wind and it's

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: not cold. Right. So the other day I was I

45
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: was walking home kind of in the evening. I had

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: met up with a friend for a late night happy

47
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: hour day sushi place. And as I'm walking home, it, yeah,

48
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of nice. Uh, it starts to

49
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: drizzle kind of lightly right, and I'm like, all right,

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: I have a jacket with a hood. I put the

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: hood up. It's not a big deal. But there's a

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: couple walking behind me, and and this woman behind me

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: is just like, oh my god, it's raining again. It

54
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: has been raining for like three months straight here in

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: l A. This is ridiculous. And what let's calm down.

56
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: Wait what he's just done this whole thing. It's been

57
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: raining for three months straight. Believe it. Where has she

58
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: been living? I want to know where she's at. Three

59
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: months straight? Three months straight is what she said. I

60
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: don't believe that's accurate. No, it hasn't even rained for

61
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: three days straight. Yeah, so so yes, all right, then,

62
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: all right, we got Christina in the building, producer, Christina,

63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: what's going on. Hey, good, how are you guys chilling?

64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: We're good. I'm showing Okay, I see you were decked

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: out in Kentucky gear for sure. Are you from Kentucky? No,

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: I went to school there. I don't know that. Yeah, alright,

67
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: here we go, so fingers crossed, we went it all

68
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: March madness. Here we go, free agency frenzy. We got

69
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 1: a lot of alliterations here. Yeah, March madness, free agency frenzy. Well,

70
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: free agency kind of throws it off. Meanwhile, my staff

71
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: instead of meanwhile, my college had to go four overtimes

72
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: to beat unc Asheville and the n I t last night.

73
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: So oh man, yeah, four overtimes? Is that right? Four

74
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: overtimes tournament? No, we were horrible. Are you in the I?

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Guys, Guys, guys, get to the free

76
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: agency stuff talking about I gotta listen to this googball

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: talk about whether we're talking about it's very good. We're

78
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: talking basketball. This is this is prime time, you know,

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's great. Is that Alex Gillhart not here? So,

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: of course that role being taken over by the guy

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: that he usually has to No no, no, no, no, no,

82
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no no, he's not different. He's not

83
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: trying to keep the show on rails. He just wants

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: to get out his own take. I want to discuss.

85
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: I want to disagree with you guys on everything. Oh,

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some weere, we'll have some disagreements. Let's

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: go down about it. We got a big show in

88
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: front of us here today. Look, normally we have segments, okay,

89
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: peek behind the curtain. We usually have segments. Today, no

90
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: segments literally, just talking about free agency. There's so many moves,

91
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: there's so many things to get to. We're doing free agency,

92
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: and then we're closing out with daily depths. And that's it.

93
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Is it a peek behind the curtain that we have segments.

94
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: They listen to the show, but it's like, you know,

95
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: but for example, you know, they don't know about a

96
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: lot of folks don't know about the Rundown. I very good,

97
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: but the Rundown has segments. Is the point that, all right,

98
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: let's get to quarterback, shall we. This is we're gonna

99
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: break it up by quarterbacks, wide receivers and then running backs. Okay,

100
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: tight ends will kind of sort of be mixed in, uh,

101
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: intermittently as well, but we'll start with quarterbacks. And it's

102
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: seemingly everything centers around Minnesota. Why because Kirk Cousins anticipated

103
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: to get that fully guaranteed contract, the first in NFL

104
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: history expected to sign with Minnesota, a three year, eighty

105
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: six million dollar deal, again fully guaranteed. I mean, I

106
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: gotta imagine working with Stefon Diggs, working with Adam Thilan, uh,

107
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph. It's got a good offensive line. I mean,

108
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what Kirk Cousins is in a prime

109
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: spot in that offense looks like it could be set

110
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: to explode. So I had a weird thought about this.

111
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: And I know that when we get to August or

112
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, July and August and we're actually drafting, like

113
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: nobody's going to think this way. But I had a

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: thought the other day that, like, could Kirk Cousins be

115
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: the QB one in fantasy? I mean, this is a

116
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: guy who's been he's been a top ten guy to

117
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: the last three years with a you know, decent but

118
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: not great supporting cast in Washington, UM. But he's he's

119
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: going to an offense where they will certainly throw the

120
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: football a lot. He's got I think I would say

121
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: he's got better receivers now than he did in Washington. Um,

122
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: he's got a better defense around it, which you know

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: kind of helps. But uh, is there like a sneaky

124
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: chance especially I'm also curious to you know, keeping an

125
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: eye with the Packers. Do know that Jordy Nelson has gone.

126
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: I know they've got Jimmy Graham. We'll see what. But like,

127
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: could Kirk Cousins be a sneaky QB one overall QB

128
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: one in fantasy? I can't wrap my mind around that prob.

129
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's it was more me spit

130
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: balling kind of as I was sitting at my desk.

131
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady still gonna be there, Aaron Rodgers still gonna

132
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: be there. Um, Cam Newton will still push for it

133
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: because because he can exactly you know in in Russell

134
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Wilson too. I know the offensive line they need to

135
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: rebuild that a little bit, but just with his rushing

136
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: ability as well, you know, and I think Deshaun Watson

137
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: will push in that regardless. Really good point. Um, But man,

138
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. That's a short list. It's a

139
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: that's a short list, Marcus. That's a shortlist, Cousins has

140
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: been eight, five and seven over the last few years

141
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: in terms of fantasy finishes. I mean, it's a it's

142
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: a great fit across the board. But but here's the

143
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: thing though, and I think Kirk Cousins is a better

144
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: quarterback than than case Keenum for sure. I mean pedigree

145
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: wise and everything like totally behind the move, but how

146
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: you can't really have a more efficient season in that

147
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: offense than what case Keenum has statistically when you look

148
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: at you know, any sort of metric, whether it's just

149
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: raw completion percentage, passer rating, and then when you also

150
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: just look at like some advanced statistatistics like what they

151
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: did outside the pocket, what he did under pressure, all

152
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. Like I think the one area

153
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: that Cousins statistically is far better than Keenan is as

154
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: a deep passer. Where Cousins has been great on deep

155
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 1: throws over the last three years, which he wouldn't expect

156
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: from him, but he's great on those deep middle passes

157
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: and I think feeling digs like those guys are phenomenal

158
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: on that. But again, it's just like how much can

159
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: you I guess that speaks more to less to what

160
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins can be and more to the rest of

161
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: the past casters like I'm not just because they have

162
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins like gonna be bumping up feeling or digs

163
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: necessarily because yeah, well no, because I mean, they already

164
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: had an outrageously efficient quarterback last time, like I expect,

165
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: which is great. They were already great last year. I

166
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: think the touchdowns. The reason I bumped them up is

167
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: because I think the touchdown upside increases. I think the

168
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: yardage totals, at least the potential for the yardage total

169
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: increases as well. I think this offense is gonna move man,

170
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna score a lot of points. Now,

171
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: You're right, the defense is great. And what I like

172
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: about it too is if the offense puts the pressure

173
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: on the other team to force them into passing situations,

174
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: the defense could cause for some more turnovers and they

175
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: could put the offense in some very advantageous situations. I think,

176
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: I at least think the scoring upside is definitely higher

177
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: now with Kirk Cousins and with case Keen. Despite the

178
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: despite the efficiencies, keep in mind the return of Dalvin

179
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: Cook to some things in that office. I think so too.

180
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: But again they also they also had a really efficient

181
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: ground game, So I think that we kind of I

182
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: would set expectations really similarly to what we saw from

183
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings last year, which again is still all phenomenal.

184
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Digs on a per game basis was great

185
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: when he played, Feeling obviously was the top five finisher

186
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: across the board. Uh, the both the running backs were

187
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: super usable each and kind of separate parts, and now

188
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: I think we combined them into just one player in

189
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. And also keep in mind too, we've we've

190
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: never seen Kirk Cousins play with a great defense or

191
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: play on a team that's won more than nine games.

192
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: I mean they went nine and seven, eight, seven and one,

193
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: nine or seven and nine, and I think that was

194
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: mostly because this year injuries on the offense, and before

195
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: they never had a really good defense. So if they're

196
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: winning games, if they're gonna be like a twelve and

197
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: four thirteen three ball club like, then then he might

198
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: not be throwing, you know, six hundred six passes like

199
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: he did back in two thousand and sixteen. That's exactly right.

200
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: I think I think you're right there. Um, And I

201
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: do wonder um, I wonder a little bit again about Yes,

202
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: the efficients, he'll I think he'll be more efficient, but

203
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: it's at least possible, Like I said the artist in

204
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: the scoring. To me, that's at least I think the

205
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: ceiling is raised if if he doesn't get there, he

206
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: doesn't get there. But I at least like the ceiling

207
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: with the Cousins in Minnesota. It's it's all good news.

208
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: I mean the good the I think the good news

209
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: really lies in the fact that this is not going

210
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: to uh, this is not gonna like the regression monster

211
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: becomes less of a with guys like dealing and digs

212
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: like if Keenum was back there, or if they were

213
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: doing like a Sam Bradford Teddy Bridgewater kind of tandem

214
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: or something like that, then I think we would be

215
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: worrying about, well, do these guys take a step back

216
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: now that they have an approven quarterback? I don't think so.

217
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: By the way, just just a side note, Yes, I

218
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: didn't know this until right now. Kirk Cousins led the

219
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: league in quarterback rushing yards last year. Three Yeah, I

220
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: think that. No, no, no, wait, that doesn't can't be no, sorry,

221
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: that's not rushing yards. I'm an idiot scrape this out

222
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: of the podcast that was that was yards sacked for

223
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: it's actually the other. It's actually the other. I was

224
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: thinking that. I was like, wait a second, that doesn't

225
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: make any sense. But it was bolded because on Pro

226
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: Football Reference when you lead the league in a category,

227
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, wait, wait yards, and I was like,

228
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: oh no, that's after sex. So yards he lost to sex.

229
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: Also an improvement from he should have. Well, their their

230
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: line is something they can focus on a little more.

231
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: Former Minnesota quarterback Sam Bradford is going to Arizona on

232
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: a one year, twenty million dollar deal. If he gets

233
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: all twenty million, I imagine he will. It's a one

234
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: year deal. I think there's some incentives, and it's actually

235
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: probably going to be like fifteen it's up to I think.

236
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: So let's say he gets all, he probably has to

237
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: play off sixteen games, so he's not gonna get all twenty.

238
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: Let's just say it's money, all right. He'll have made

239
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty four million dollars in contract money

240
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: in nine seasons of play, a hundred and thirty four

241
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: million in nine seasons of playing. Aaron Rodgers thus far

242
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: has made a hundred and thirty seven million dollars in

243
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: thirteen years of playing God Bless America. UM. I mean,

244
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: let's also keep in mind the leader in the ski

245
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: mask team just straight robbery. Let's keep in mind that

246
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford is the reason we now have rookie slotting.

247
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: That's a good point. He was last of the million

248
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus when he got drafted, and that was

249
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: when gms and owners were like, this is unsustainab but

250
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: we can't do that. So, I mean, that's that's a

251
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: big chunk of it right there, literally fifty million dollars

252
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: pretty much right off the bast. Fantasy wise, I don't

253
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: think it makes much of an impact either way, any

254
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: in any direction. For for Arizona, they're gonna be a

255
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a mess offensively, um apparbably defensively too,

256
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: because just coming across the wire they have released Tyrone Mets.

257
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: I just saw that. I did it though, because I

258
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: was surprised. I thought they were briefly talking about a

259
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: potential contract extension. Well I think they were gonna they

260
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: were hoping to restructure, but what that meant was a

261
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: pay cut. And as he told he's not as he

262
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: told our own NFL networks Greg Rosenthal. Uh. He was like,

263
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of them taking money out

264
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: of my pockets. That doesn't sit right with me. So

265
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: they are going to release him, And yeah, no, I

266
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: think that's fascinating. But on Sam Bradford, I know a

267
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: lot of people, including some current players and even some

268
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: foreimer players, like some of the guys work with us,

269
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: like Reggie Wayne and Mike Robinson. We're talking about this

270
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: on Total Access, you know, kind of panning this feel like,

271
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: what has Sam Bradford ever done to get this money?

272
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: I get that, But for the Cardinals, what the hell

273
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Oh? This is what I was saying. Um,

274
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a bad deal, but it

275
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: doesn't But it also doesn't matter because the Cardinals got

276
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: to spend that money somehow. It's million dollars. And not

277
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: only that, they missed out on Alan Robinson, they missed

278
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: out on Sammy Watkins, they missed out on Kirk Cousins,

279
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: they missed out on all these other free agent courts

280
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: They've missed out. They've got to spend the money somehow. Um,

281
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: and this is how they're gonna do it. And what

282
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: I like is that it's a it's a one year deal.

283
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: It's a bad it's a bad contract, there's no question

284
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: about it. It's a bad contract. But I don't even

285
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: think contract it's a one year deal in there in

286
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: the context of what quarterbacks are making these days. I mean,

287
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: twenty million is fine. That's that's kind of low end

288
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: starter money, which is what I think. You're hoping that

289
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: you know what, you're right. And the crest thing too

290
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: is and I get I'm not I'm not trying to

291
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: be like a total Sam Bradford apologist or whatever. I mean,

292
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: the amount of money he's made is pretty outrageous for

293
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: what he's done, is correct. But still that Week one

294
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: aim with the Vikings, that's the best quarterback game we've

295
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: seen all you like saw all year. It was incredible,

296
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: And I think the Cardinals are just hoping that they

297
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: can put the band aid on and get something like

298
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: that for a few games out of Sam Bradford, because

299
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: what are their alternatives. I mean, they're also going to

300
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: sign Mike Glennon, by the way, so that means we're

301
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: seeing Mike Glennon start eventually this year. When Sam Bradford

302
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: does in fact get hurt. But I mean, this is

303
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be Larry Fitzgerald's like potential swan song. That

304
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: can't just throw a rookie out there, God forbid, end

305
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: up starting blame Gabbert and Drew Stand again, what do

306
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: what do you want the Cardinals to do? This at

307
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: least makes their offense viable when he's on the field.

308
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: We you talked about Larry Fitzgerald. I just get sad.

309
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: It's like, how many bad teams must this man play on? Yeah?

310
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: They also have no talent around him. Nothing. John Brown's leaving,

311
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: He's gone, you know, jay Ron Brown. I mean, I

312
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know if he's he's a free agent too, I

313
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: don't Jones. Come on, they're talking him up. They're ready

314
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: to talk that guy up. So Kirk Cousins in a

315
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota former Minnesota quarterback Sam Bradford going to Arizona. Former

316
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: Minnesota quarterback Case Keenum going to Denver, who also picked

317
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: up the option onto Marius Thomas. Oh, by the way,

318
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: how much of an upgrade for the Broncos offense if

319
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: at all? Matt Harmon, I don't know. It's definitely an

320
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: upgrade over what they got last year. I think it's

321
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: a slight improvement. Yeah, I think Keenum showed last like

322
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: this is the question that Broncos have to ask himself,

323
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: anything we all have to ask ourselves, is how much

324
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: of last year was case Keenum kind of catching lightning

325
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: in a bottle versus how much or was this kind

326
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: of especially in a perfect situation. He even called it

327
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: like getting the keys to a Lamborghini or whatever? Uh is?

328
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Is this something that like was a career step forward,

329
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, a late career bloom. I think it's probably

330
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle of that. He just it wasn't

331
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: a very soft landing spot in my opinion. Um And

332
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: and can they recreate that in Denver? I don't think so. Man.

333
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: They've got offensive line issues everywhere. They have a lack

334
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: of athleticism on the outside, on the inside, at height end,

335
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: at running back. They just don't have athletes. I mean,

336
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: and I'm not taking anything away from C. J. Anderson,

337
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: who I think is a good player, to MARYS. Thomas,

338
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: who I think is a good player, Emmanuel Sanders, who

339
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: I think is a good player. But these guys are

340
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: not great athletes. They're good players, not great athletes. They know,

341
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. They they need an injection of

342
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: athleticism somewhere on this team. They don't have anybody that

343
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: could beat somebody over the top. I mean, let's let's

344
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: think back to three weeks ago. We had Troy Rink

345
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: on this show and he talked about the Broncos meeting

346
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: and offensive identity and they don't really have one right now.

347
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: And and I'm kind of with harmon where we're Let's

348
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: get case Keendom's career as a whole. I mean, last

349
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: year he was he was very good. He also was

350
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: an emergency option, like they actually had to break glass

351
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: in case of emergency because they had so many injuries

352
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: at the quarterback the year before. He got a lot

353
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: of playing time in in with the Rams because what

354
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: do they really have. I mean, Jared Goff was a disaster.

355
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: He just wasn't ready yet they put him in. He

356
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: wasn't great. Um, He's just so if if you're the Broncos,

357
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: you are hoping you get the guy that we saw

358
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: last year and not the guy who just kind of

359
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: was a journeyman, you know, kind of hanging on rosters

360
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: for the first few years of his because the thing.

361
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: The thing with Caseine too is that he's not a

362
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: safe player. He's not a game manager titan. He's not

363
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: out and he's reckless. And the difference between what we

364
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,719
Speaker 1: saw from him, Yeah, the difference that we the difference

365
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: that we saw from him between last year and all

366
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: his other years was he just never had that like

367
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: throw up on his shoes moments where he just just

368
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: turns into an absolute nightmare. I mean because he's like

369
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: even when he first hit the always go back to

370
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: that that time in Houston. There for a minute he

371
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: showed he could be really aggressive and pushed the ball

372
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: and move the offense and seeing things with some some

373
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: of his time with the Rams, aggressive, move the ball,

374
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: put pushed the offense down the field. He needs to

375
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: be that guy for Denver and just limit the mistakes

376
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: and if he can limit those mistakes, and I think

377
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: he can keep the offensive float. But by the way,

378
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't think this precludes them from still drafting I

379
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: think there's still draftic uarterback. I would say that I

380
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: would hoping that he can at least replicate what he

381
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: did last year, just so it injects some life back

382
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: into the Marius Thomas. I think it would be. I

383
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: think you'd be crazy for the Broncos to invest a

384
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: first round pick. I don't think they'll do that in

385
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback, mostly because again, they have a lot of needs. Man.

386
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: First of all, that defense is aging. The offense is

387
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: definitely aged. Um, they just have so they have so

388
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: many needs on the offensive line, just man, they have

389
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: needs everywhere. I would be I don't know, man, Again,

390
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: I would just, if anything, I might even pass on

391
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: quarterback this year and just say forget it. Case Keendom's

392
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: my guy this year. Next year, let me draft somebody.

393
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: Of course, because next year's quarterback class is gonna better.

394
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: It's always. It's always that. That's what I'm says exactly again.

395
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: Kirk Cusins Minnesota Form Minnesota quarterback Sam Brafter going Arizona

396
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: Form Minnesota quarterback Case Endom going to dead for former

397
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is going to the Jets. So

398
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: just just a quick note on this too. Like I

399
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: was listening to the Your NFL podcast this morning. I

400
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: think it's Kevin Clark later. Sorry, man, I listened to

401
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: the podcasts. I listened to a lot of other podcasts.

402
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: But anyways, Kevin Clark, I think, was on there made

403
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: the point that like do we need like need to

404
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: look back in history at like Teddy Bridgewater's knee injury

405
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: being like one of the more meaningful moments in NFL history.

406
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: That was just saying, it'll open the door for Kirk Cousins.

407
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: It opened the door for Kirk, It opened the door

408
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: for Sam Bradford to come to Minnesota best right, right,

409
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: that's right, and then ultimately eventually bringing because he they

410
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: weren't for sure he's gonna be ready this year, he

411
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: brought that brought case Keenum there. Now three teams have

412
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: signed potential starting quarterbacks because of this, and the Vikings

413
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: have now brought in Kirk Cousins. That's great, it's crazy.

414
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: You're also you're also forgetting the fact that it basically

415
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: opened the door for Carson Wentz to step in Philadelphia. No, Yeah, absolutely,

416
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: absolutely right, because the yeah they shipped Yeah, for sure.

417
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a t it's it's it's one of

418
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: those like it's just the webs you can draw from

419
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: that Teddy Bridgewater injury. It's pretty extensive. It's thought. That

420
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: was a really fascinating point. So again, Teddy Bridgewater going

421
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: to the Jets, who also signed resigned old ass Josh mccow,

422
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: who has been told that he will be the starter

423
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: at thirty nine years of age. You got a one year,

424
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: ten million dollar deal, both McCown and Tedd Bridgewater signing

425
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: on one year deals. All right, let's go to what

426
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: do you think? Do you think we're quick though? One.

427
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: I like that they bring back Josh McCown. I think

428
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: that keeps the offense viable because he was really good

429
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: when he played last year. Started nine years old. He's

430
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna get hurt again. We know that, we know the drill,

431
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: but he was a great deep ball passer last year,

432
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: especially with Robby Anderson. I keep I think this keeps

433
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: the offense afloat. So it's a nice move there. But

434
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: do you think they draft a quarterback now? Is Teddy

435
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: Bridgewater kind of looked at their quarterback in the future.

436
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they give him a one year deal. I

437
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: don't think they see him as a quarterback in the future.

438
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: If anything, I'm surprised they didn't try to get Teddy

439
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: Bridgewater on a three year deal at a very low

440
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: cost to kind of lock in that rate because at

441
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: the very least if they say, okay, well Teddy Bridgewater

442
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: can be can be the guy next year and kind

443
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: of re revamp his own career um or they might

444
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: go young and say, well, if he doesn't make it,

445
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: then we can also get a young guy kind of

446
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 1: behind him. But I mean, having two guys that are

447
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: gonna get reps, it doesn't make a lot of sense

448
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: to again, to me anyways, to invest early in a quarterback.

449
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: What kind of reps is that third quarterback? Then? Again? Right,

450
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: so either one of I just I don't know, man.

451
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: It's it's a lot of money that they're putting into

452
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, clearly, but it's money they're putting into

453
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: the quarterback position with no clear idea of what the

454
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: because yes, I look at it. I look at. Worst

455
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: case scenario for the Jets is you get Josh McCown,

456
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: who regards I feel like he's probably retiring after this year, right,

457
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: so tried to retire him two years, right, So worst

458
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: case scenarios for the Jets, you get Josh McCown, who

459
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: you know is probably gonna be retired after the season.

460
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: He plays nine or ten games, and he's fine, he's

461
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: good enough, and he gets hurt, then he gets right.

462
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: So then tell you Bridgewater comes in, doesn't necesily get

463
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: a ton of rest, maybe gets you know, four or

464
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: five starts, and maybe he's okay because he hasn't played

465
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: a lot of live football in the last couple of years.

466
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: So now you've got one quarterback you know is retiring,

467
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: you got another quarterback you're not really sure on, and

468
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: then you still have either Petty or Hackenburg. But I mean,

469
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: so then they got what do you do? I mean,

470
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: I guess you just go into the draft market looking

471
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: for a quarterback next year or or free agent or

472
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: you or if Bridgewater is really good, I think you

473
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: franchised Bridgewater and potentially try to work him as your

474
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: long term What you just said right there, that's exactly

475
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: why they need to sign it to a two year deal. Yeah,

476
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. Anyways, we'll move on

477
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Now. The Bears. They went on a crazy

478
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: spending spree. I love what the Bears are doing. They

479
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: signed well, but even beyond just the fact that they

480
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: signed the best receiver in the later, they signed Matt

481
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: Harmon's son Alan Robinson to a three year, forty two

482
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. It's a I mean, that is a

483
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: team friendly deal. Man, That is a team friendly deal.

484
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: I think I really think if he held out a

485
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: little bit, I really think he could have got fifty million,

486
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: but he gets forty two. Uh. They also signed pass

487
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: catching tight end Trey Burton to a four year, thirty

488
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: two million dollar deal. And you also forgot passed throwing

489
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: tight end. It's a very good, great quarterback. Uh. They

490
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: also signed speedy slot receiver Taylor Gabriel to a four

491
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: year deal as well, and guaranteed what was the total

492
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: figure on with the potential to bump up a four year,

493
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: twenty six million dollar deal for Taylor Gabriel. I mean,

494
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Matt Naggie the head coach, offensive mind,

495
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: Mark Helfritch the offensive coordinator, very creative offensive mind, is

496
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: troubisky business A been for a breakout. Well at this point,

497
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: a lot of it's on him now. Yeah yeah, yeah,

498
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying so like you don't you don't have the

499
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't have weapons excuse anymore, Like it's gonna be

500
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of on you. I got too many weapons, right, Um,

501
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: I will say I'm not. They've got two good running

502
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: backs there Will. I'm not yet sold on Mark Hilfrich

503
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: being this creative offensive guy, just because his Oregon teams

504
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: sort of were underwhelming. They were underwhelming mostly because he

505
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: couldn't recruit. You can't recruit, and also he's just he's

506
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: not going to be calling plays. He's gonna be kind

507
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: of like what Frank Reich was to the Eagles last year,

508
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: which was like, I'm gonna help design the game plans.

509
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: And I think, um, yeah, he said he's going to

510
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: call the play. Yeah, and I I so I go

511
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: back and this is a small tangent, try to keep brief.

512
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: I go back and forth like on whether head coaches

513
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: calling the plays is good or not, because I totally

514
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: feel like when it works, it's good. When it's great,

515
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: you know, I think you also need to have like

516
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: a really strong influence like Wade Phillips there on the

517
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: other side of the ball to make that to make

518
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: it work, And the Bears might have that in in

519
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: Vic Fongio to uh is great. Yeah, it remains be

520
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: seen whether the Giants Dukes talk at Pat Shermer is

521
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: going to do the same thing. But because I kind

522
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: of like this idea of like the offensive coordinator just

523
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: focuses on game planning and structuring the system and practices

524
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: to and practices and putting everything in place, rather than

525
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: having them focus on the play calling, because that can

526
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: be what I think trips a lot of coaches up

527
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: is then they're like, like decision making when to time

528
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: plays and everything. Yeah, yeah, that's a challenge, right. Um.

529
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: I always go back to this, man, and anytime anybody

530
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: will listen to me, Man, it's all about practices because

531
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: the game when they finally get to playing call or

532
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: calling plays rather, that's the by product, the end product

533
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: of all the work that you put in during the week.

534
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: And you don't see all that work in the week

535
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: and then you see it on game day. That's fine,

536
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: But man, getting a former head coach to be able

537
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: to manage the time, to be able to break down

538
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: that time and really get the most out of practices,

539
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: that's what I really like about what Chicago's gut going

540
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: on in terms of having two guys on the offensive

541
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: side of the ball and then surrounding their their young

542
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: strong arm quarterback with all these speedy weapons. I love it. Yeah,

543
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: going I mean going back to the Rams example, It's

544
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: exactly what this is. This is the exact same blueprint.

545
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams will follow this. It's

546
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: a quarter it's a young quarterback who really you can't

547
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: take much from their rookie year because they were just

548
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: surrounding in such a dull conservative situation, really no weapons

549
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: around them. So they bring in an innovative offensive coordinator

550
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: to two guys here now this this time, instead of

551
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: just one with Sean McVeigh. And then you go out

552
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: and you you don't like for years we saw teams

553
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: like Carolina with Cam Newton or Tennessee with Vince Young,

554
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: like just do nothing death help out their young quarterback.

555
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: These teams will taking the opposite approach where we're gonna

556
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: overdo that. I mean even Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes.

557
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Sammy Watkins next, like they're gonna overdo

558
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: it to bring in weapons. And I love of the

559
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: way this sets up for Alan Robinson's fantasy value and

560
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: just for his production in general. Because one thing I

561
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: wrote about this on the piece yesterday reacting to all

562
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: the free agent signees NFL dot com slash harmon if

563
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: you want to check it out, I tweeted out the

564
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: graph of his targets from sixteen, just all these low

565
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: percentage deep passes along the sideline when you have an

566
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: insufficient quarterback, that's not great. But if you look at

567
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: what Matt Naggy did with the Chiefs the last two years,

568
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: no receiver group had more separation when the quarterback released

569
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: the ball than the Chiefs receivers three point six yards

570
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: ranked first in three point five nine. But first, But

571
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: what do we attribute that too? I think from from

572
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: digging into these the statistic more and more because because

573
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: a lazy a lazy counter argument to that would be,

574
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: well they got no yeah, the fast, no no doubt,

575
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And I think I think there's

576
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: a mixture of both there. But when you look at

577
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: it year over year, especially ranking first both times, I

578
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of that is scheme and no team

579
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: played more like was has been more progressive with their

580
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: offensive design than the Chiefs. I mean, they have been

581
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: a spread, heavy, college influence offense, and I'm really excited

582
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: to see that at the at the NFL level, especially

583
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: with a legit number one in Allen Robinson and some

584
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: of these other guys, I mean Trey Burton with Adam

585
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: Shaheen and the two tight ends set the chief get creative.

586
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: The Chiefs through out of twelve personnel, I think more

587
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: than anybody else in the league, or at least we're

588
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: top three. Uh. Then you have Taylor Gabriel in there

589
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: as a as an X factor, and then you have

590
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: like your other wide receiver position that might be Cam

591
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: Meredith if he doesn't get poach on r F A

592
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: uh deal, and potentially I mean Kevin White is there,

593
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: but it's like one of these, one of these guys

594
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: you but haven't kept. Meretith is great. Yeah, yeah, if

595
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: he's recovered from his from his from his a c

596
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: L plus other things injury. So I'm really excited with

597
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: how this offense sets up as long as Trabisky. As

598
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about this, I've never I didn't think

599
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 1: I'd be saying this here like two weeks ago, but

600
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm so freaking exciting for the offense. So no anything,

601
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: This is to be a hundred percent honest. When Allen

602
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: Robinson first signed with Chicago, I hated it from a

603
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective. I hated it from a fantasy perspective, but

604
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 1: then when they add a trade Burton, I'm like Okay,

605
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: I can get on. Then they signed Taylor Gabriel. I'm like, okay,

606
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm in because, like what I mean on just like

607
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: a on paper, it's dangerous to say this, but on paper,

608
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: what are they missing? Like they have I don't know.

609
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: They have a dominant ex receiver in Allen Robson, the

610
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: true number one. They have a gadget slot guy and

611
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel. They have a move tight end in Turn

612
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: Burton who could play in the slot. They have a

613
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: traditional tight end in Adam Shaheen, and then they have

614
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: potential guys who can play the flanker position, uh in

615
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: Karon Meredith. If Kevin White gives him anything, that's a

616
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: bonus and he's rocked up. You saw that picture. Ian

617
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: tweeted out if if if he gets anything, yeah, yeah, yeah,

618
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: it's a bonus. Man. That's just that's just icing on

619
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: the cave. But I mean, again, just in the vacuum

620
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: when they first signed Allen Robinson, wasn't a fan, wasn't

621
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: a because he could have gone anywhere. I would have

622
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: loved to see him go to San Francisco, would have

623
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: loved to see him go to San Francis. There were

624
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: so many teams that he could have hooked up with,

625
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, Ah, the Bears, man, They're just

626
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna double team him all day. It's gonna be tough.

627
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: Mitch Drobiskie's is got ore in talent, but he's not

628
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: that accurate. But now they got all these weapons. Signed

629
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: me up Mann exactly. Jordy Nelson was cut this after

630
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: the team signed Jimmy Graham. Jordi's gonna meet with John

631
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: Gruden and the Raiders, potentially meeting with the Saints as

632
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: well if he does sign. We're talking about Jordian now,

633
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: said I. Jordy Nelson signs with the Raiders. There is

634
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: some expectations, although it's not a done deal, some expectation

635
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: that Michael Crabtree could be let go. He makes nearly

636
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: eight million dollars next year, zero dead cap if they

637
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: decided to move on from Michael crab Tree. So I

638
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: think at least the financials are there um for that possibility.

639
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: I think Geordie Nelson for either one of those teams,

640
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: if we're talking about Oakland, if we're talking about the Saints,

641
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: my goodness, what a great pairing that would be. I

642
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: can I hope he doesn't sign there though. Horrible fit,

643
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: horrible fit, but man, I'd love to see him go

644
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: even to the Raiders. But I would especially love to

645
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: see him uh in his precision, you know, route running,

646
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: and at this point in his career, I think you

647
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: guys would agree he's he He could be a great

648
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: slot guy. And to pair against Michael Thomas with Drew Brees,

649
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: who was just so accurate and on time and all

650
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: of those things, I just think it'd be a great parent.

651
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: I'd love to see that. I don't know how much

652
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: he goes for. I don't know what his salary demands

653
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: might be, but i'd love to see him go with

654
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: the Saints there as well. Um, in terms of Jimmy

655
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: Graham now with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, Marcus, grant

656
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: your thoughts there. I want to be excited. I do, Okay,

657
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: I want to be excited. How are you not? Because

658
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: one is Jimmy Graham washed. We saw flashes at times,

659
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: and I do want to kind of chalk it up

660
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: to the scheme a little bit that you know, and

661
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: we've talked about this before that a lot of times,

662
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: because what Russell Wilson does is so much improvisation that,

663
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: especially early in his tenure in Seattle, it looked like

664
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: Grandma wasn't comfortable with that. I mean, man, they were

665
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: not speaking the same language. Every receiver that leaves Seattle

666
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: ends up being more productive. A golden t cursed did

667
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: it last year? You're not looking over your shoulder wondering

668
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: where your quarterback is and like when he's just gonna

669
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: win it to especially coming from New Orleans where you

670
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: talked about the precision route running and Drew Brees and

671
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: his timing and his accuracy and that sort of thing,

672
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: it's night and day different. So maybe maybe going to

673
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay kind of gets him back closer to that. Maybe,

674
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: and maybe he isn't completely washed. Maybe there's something like

675
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: the other part of me is like I look at

676
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: him like he's washed. No, not even no, not not

677
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: even said he's watched. Other part is we've been teased

678
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: by by Titans going to do so much. Remember remember

679
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: it there was Oh I remember hey Jerry Cook. Yeah,

680
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: I know he's Jered Cook, but man, he's the best

681
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: tighten they've had since Jamichael Finley. Like maybe this is

682
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: gonna be Nope, then the Martel's Martells this is the

683
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: best ten, but this is the best for the best one,

684
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: It's easy. I mean Jared Cook was never good. I mean,

685
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: I know we always hear every good Mark Tellis Bennett

686
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: was turned out to be a little, you know, a

687
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: little strange with everything that went on there. And he

688
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: also is washed. I mean he's clearly he was clearly

689
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: washed then and is now. But the reason I am

690
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: excited about Jimmy Graham even if he is washed, he

691
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: could be. And I'm with Marks, I feel a little conflicted,

692
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: But the way I can talk myself into it is

693
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: just what he can do. What he can do in

694
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: the red zone. I mean last year he caught seven

695
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns when he had less than a yard of separation,

696
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: those tight window throws. The next gen stats tracks it's

697
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham more than any receiver or tight end in

698
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: the league. Was the seven touchdown And when you look

699
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: back at rogers is twenty sixteen season when he was healthy,

700
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: he had a one point nine passer rating when throwing

701
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: in the tight windows. Nobody else has even cleared eight

702
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: four ever two years. So I mean, this is an

703
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: a lead trade from from both of these guys that

704
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: could be an incredible marriage, and I think ten touchdowns

705
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: as well within the ring. So all right, so here's

706
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: the thing. Jimmy Graham's gonna have a top three tight

707
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: end price tag. Is he worth it? Because well, this

708
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: is assuming Grant comes back. But let's say Grant comes back.

709
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: All Right, it's Gronk, it's Travis Kelsey and then and

710
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, I'll tell you what. There's

711
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: gonna be some folks who take Jimmy Graham as the

712
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 1: number two tight end. But that's his price. Okay, that's

713
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: his price as the third best tight end in Fantasy

714
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: worth the price? I mean, what is that price? Though?

715
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: I mean wherever you think that might happen in your

716
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: respective draft. If it's a ten teamer, you know that's

717
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: gonna go a little later round. I think, yeah, I

718
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: think seventh round. I think I think you'll see him

719
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: go there. I mean, Mark Tellis Bennett was going in

720
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: like eighth nine. I mean, I've been of the opinion

721
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: the last few years and like, if you don't get

722
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: Gronk or Kelsey, you guys just streamed the position. So

723
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, even with Jimmy Graham in Green Bay, Yeah,

724
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: probably he enters that conversation now and I don't remember

725
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: who I saw tweet it yesterday, but Jimmy Graham is

726
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: going to be a tight end one, like not the

727
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: tight end, whether he will be a tight end one.

728
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: And you could say that same thing about fifteen other guys.

729
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: But that's so so you're thinking it's not worth the pression. No,

730
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: I just don't. I'll be tempted by Jimmy Graham this

731
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: time come August probably, yeah, most likely. But if he's

732
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: a he's like a sixth round pick, seventh round pick,

733
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: I think I'll be tempted. He'll be there, yeah, because

734
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: especially if they don't, it's gonna be his. It also

735
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: depends on what other moves are gonna make it wide receiver,

736
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: because I mean, they're not getting any free agents. That's

737
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: what they might add somebody. I think they picked fourteen

738
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: over all this year in the draft, but they will

739
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: be if they pick a first round receiver and they

740
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: slide right in that. That would be crazy for them

741
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: to go first round wide receiver, mostly because they think,

742
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: but like, who's their three wide receiver set right now?

743
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: I guess the point the point being it doesn't matter

744
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: because they need to get cornerbacks in the worst way. Yeah,

745
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: I know, it's true. I think, and I think where

746
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 1: they draft in the first round will be a prime

747
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: spot to take corner So I think they'll they'll go corner.

748
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: They need safety too, I mean, they just need I

749
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: love their defensive line obviously with the signing Wilkerson. Uh, yeah,

750
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: Wilkerson cares. Yeah, but it's a it is a it

751
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: is a it is a prove it deal for him. No, Yeah,

752
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: so it would be all too predictable if yeah, after

753
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: two disaster years in in in New York, then he

754
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: goes to Green Bay and it just proves it proves

755
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: it on to prove it, you know what I mean. Yeah, so,

756
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: I but yeah, I think they need some back line

757
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: help on the defense there. And I would be surprised

758
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: if they didn't do that. They didn't address that literally

759
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: with their first three picks in the draft. That would

760
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: be my that would be my take, because they need

761
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: to get um some corners, no doubt about it, especially

762
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: after trading a way to mary srandall Um, All right,

763
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: we move on. Sammy Watkins signing with the Chiefs reportedly

764
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: got more money than Allan Robinson guaranteed big money. Man,

765
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. That's a big money Allen

766
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: Robinson got a three year, forty two million dollar deal. Um.

767
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins reportedly got a three year, forty eight million

768
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: dollar deal thirty million guaranteed for really chief Um. It

769
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: gives Patrick Mahomes another big time playmaker to go along

770
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey. My initial thought on

771
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: this great real life football move, oh my god, I

772
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: love it from a real life football you know what

773
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Oh my goodness, Patrick Mahomes just chucking it

774
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: deep to to Tyree Hill and Sammy Watkins and you

775
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: got Travis Kelsey down the middle. I love it from

776
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: a real life perspect active. From the fantasy perspective, I

777
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: hate it. I just I hate it. I just wonder

778
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: if if it's going to be another redo of last

779
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: year for Sammy Watkins where he's in an offense where

780
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 1: that's right, he doesn't have a truly defined role where

781
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: they struggle to get him the football consistently because I

782
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: see a lot of redundancy between him and Tyreek Hill.

783
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, he's learning his third brand new

784
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: offense in three seasons, right, um, I also feel like

785
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: this is this might not be a put up or

786
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: shut up year for Sammy Watkins, but it's coming well,

787
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: it's come apparently not cash wise, it's clear. It's clear

788
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: that the league still thinks of him as that guy

789
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: that went fourth overall after this getting this kind of

790
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: it's been a while now, because what he didn't even

791
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: have seven hundred yards last year, had five and I

792
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: think he didn't even have six hundred. Come on, I

793
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: think I think that that that that's pretty easy to

794
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: write off again just because it was still part of

795
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: the best offense and and he still had eight touchdowns,

796
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: so that yeah, yeah, he was still obviously he's a

797
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: touchdown player. Yeah, I just but how many years begun

798
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: to just keep writing it off? And the good thing

799
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: is that we have we've seen that peak with Sammy Watkins,

800
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: that one year when he went forwards and in less

801
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: than sixteen games and not well barely crossed the thousand.

802
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: But but you know what I mean, I mean, he

803
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: was great in that stretch, and I get it, it's

804
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: in that stretch and whatever, But and I think I'm

805
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: with you that I don't think he's that player that

806
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 1: that went fourth overall and is like a clear number

807
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: one receiver. But I think and I think this is

808
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: a great real life football move because because I think

809
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: he does compliment Tyreek Hill well and that he's a

810
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: great red zone receivers. Yeah, he's a good contested catch

811
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: guy and he'll was great on those plays last year.

812
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: But obviously he's more of a vertical threat that can

813
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: move around. Uh this this this rings in kind of

814
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: that traditional X receiver that you then he's gonna help

815
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: dictate more coverages when you already have the coverage dictator

816
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: and Tyreek Hill for fantasy, I think this offense is

817
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: like is you could easily see Kelsey have the most catches,

818
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: Watkins have the most yards, and he'll have the most

819
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: touchdowns or reverse whatever it's three man you don't know.

820
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and they still have a running back who's

821
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: really good in Cream Hunt. Oh by the way, Spencer

822
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: wears coming back. So even the backfield a little bit.

823
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: This is a loaded offense. What are we getting X

824
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: factor here? Andy Reid? Because remember like remember last year

825
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs started off gangbusters and then we were everybody

826
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: was all in. I mean, like Alex Smith was a revelation.

827
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt blew up, Tyree killed Kelsey? Remember they hit

828
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: that low mid season and cream Hunt? You like, people

829
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: were panicked, people like you know how many tweets we

830
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: got on a weekly basis of do I drop Kareem Hunt?

831
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: What do I do with Kareem Hunt? Right then, all

832
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden Andrew he was like, Okay, maybe I

833
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: should take my fingers out of the pot and let

834
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: Matt Nigi cook this thing up. And things were great again. Right,

835
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: So you know, like now that Matt Naggie's gone, right

836
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: and region did we go back to kind of that

837
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: mid season stagnant offense? And like, how does that impact?

838
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: The good news is that I think if you want

839
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: to tell yourself, tell us off the story of why

840
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: they won't have that lull this year, it's because now

841
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: I think they're a much harder unit to defend because

842
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: you can pick you like, you could pick your poison

843
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: to either take away Kelsey or take away Hill, and

844
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: you knew the other guy was still going to have

845
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: a good game, and that was even happening during the lull,

846
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: but you didn't have anybody else to defend the past

847
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,479
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, Albert Wilson is a nice player

848
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: to Marcus Robinson has potential, but you're not game planning

849
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: to stop those guys. Uh. And you still had Alex

850
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: Smith at quarterback and he had a career year. But again,

851
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you really game planning to stop Alex Smith.

852
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: If Mahomes sits his potential, then you're looking at a

853
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: much harder offense to defend. You also have Sammy Watkins there,

854
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: did you have to account for now? Now, I think

855
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: they're much more difficult unit tode to prepare for. The

856
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: one question I have with is with the quarterback, because

857
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: everybody's saying right now, you know, well, Mahomes is gonna

858
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: help them unloine and I just kind of said it

859
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: like Mahomes is gonna help unlock this potentials of the offensive.

860
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. The strange part is, though,

861
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Alex Smith was the best deep ball pass

862
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: That's that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, number like,

863
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: and you can't even argue that's a hot take because statistically,

864
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: it's just the fact, best passer rating on deep throws,

865
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 1: best most yards on deep throws all across, the most

866
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: best completion percentage on deep so like what more ceiling

867
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: is there to unlock? I don't know. Well, and there

868
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: they're going to be growing page with Pat Mahomes, right,

869
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: I mean, like the thing I said about him coming

870
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: out of college was like, this's however you want? He

871
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: plays quarterback like a short stop. Yeah, that's right, you know,

872
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: it's exactly right. He's got all different kinds of arms.

873
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, like he's on the moon. There are things

874
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: that he does that are super exciting, and then there

875
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: are things that he does you're like, what are you doing?

876
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: So you know, just be prepared for that. If there's

877
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: one thing I do have confidence in read it is

878
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: preparing the quarterback to be ready. See one, he will

879
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: be great because Reid is great with time to prepare.

880
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 1: That's apparently like if you talk people like just showing

881
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 1: clips of Mahomes, you know, at practice or whatever, really

882
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: excited about what they've seen. You know, he's ripping it.

883
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: He's ripping it um. But again, there's gonna be a

884
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a growing pains with Patrick Mahomes because

885
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: this is a guy that had a pretty basic offense

886
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: coming out of college. So has he picked up the

887
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: Andy Reid playbook? Can Andy Reid call all of his plays.

888
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: We're not exactly sure. We'll find out. It is gonna

889
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. It's gonna be a big

890
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,959
Speaker 1: year for You should sit behind a quarterback before you start. Guy.

891
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: By the way, this by the way, this definitely hurts

892
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill in terms of volatility. Right the Sammy Watkins signing, Yeah,

893
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: it just depends on how much they're going to open

894
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: up the offense because I don't think mean neither of

895
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: those guys are high volume players. In terms of Watkins

896
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: and Hill, Tyreek Hill felt like felt like a high

897
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: volatility player last year, even though that necessarily wasn't the case.

898
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: You just think of him that way because of his

899
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: skill set, that's right, But but last year it was

900
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: it was kind of that way, like either Kelsey was

901
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna go off or Hill was going to go off. Right,

902
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 1: rarely do they both. So now you add a third

903
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: piece into that mix, I just think it adds so

904
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: much more volatility to that overall offense. At the season's end,

905
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: all three might have great receiving numbers, but it was

906
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: a journey. It was the journey to get there was

907
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: it was not easy, That's exactly right, And and I'm

908
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: anticipating that again in Kansas City from a fantasy perspective.

909
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: This year, Paul Richardson, the former Seattle wide receiver, signed

910
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: with Washington big money man, a five year, forty million

911
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: dollar deal for a receiver who had a career high

912
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: seven hundred and three yards last year. He will be

913
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: twenty six next season. But Paul Richardson now in Washington,

914
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: pairing with former Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith for the Redskins.

915
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon, I know you've been a big fan of

916
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: Paul Richardson. I love him too. I just yeah, it's

917
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: it's the money that's a little peculiar. But in this

918
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: receiver market, I mean when you look at with some

919
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: of the other guys, yeah, it's you know, I mean

920
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: also it ain't my money, right, who cares? And they

921
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: need and they really really needed it. They really needed

922
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: some help. But wide receivers after Josh Doxon and Jamison Crowder,

923
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: who both I wouldn't say like are proven high end

924
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: starters by any means, they had nobody on the roster.

925
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: It's certainly to me, is is I think it's a

926
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: it's a good fit. Not only it's a great fit.

927
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: But it certainly makes that wide receiver room interesting to

928
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: me with Dockson and Paul Richardson roaming around on the outside.

929
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: Both Doxton and Richardson, they're not identical players, but they

930
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: have some of the same strength and that they're both

931
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: vertical threats and they win in contested spaces. Uh. The

932
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: question is, like with Alex Smith, was a great vertical

933
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: passer and a great contested catch passer last year. Never

934
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: been that guy before. Is he going to be that

935
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: guy with with Jake Gruden? I mean, let's see, the

936
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: one thing with Gruden that I really like is and

937
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: just the Washington offense is general and just how much

938
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: they pick over the middle of the field. They have

939
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 1: a lot of high percentage throws in that offense, which

940
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: is something that I like to see. So I think

941
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: that all three of these guys could be really interesting.

942
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: And richards and if Dockson doesn't, and I think the

943
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: good thing with Richardson is he means that he means

944
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: that defenses can't then like have Josh Dockson is the

945
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: guy that they signed the number one corner to run

946
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: press man coverage against hard every single snap. Both of

947
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: those guys will be excellent sleepers. I come traps, I

948
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: sneaky like this, this this pass catching group though, I

949
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: mean with between Richardson and Docks and you've got to

950
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: kind of long athletic guys. Chris Thompson still there, Christompson

951
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: still there with Jamison Crowder is still there. Uh you know,

952
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: if Jordan Reid can stay upright, yeah, I mean Chris

953
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: Thompson and are kind of are kind of like gravy

954
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 1: at this point. If they play like they're not gonna

955
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: play sixteen games either one of those guys. They also

956
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: I would count out the tight end. I mean that's

957
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I know, I mean, but Chris Thompson

958
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: too is a long, long, long long injury. Uh, It's

959
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: just they also just need a running like a running

960
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: back to the Yeah, didn't work out. Signed a one

961
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: year proved deal with Jacksonville nine point six million dollar

962
00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: deal one year for Dante Moncrief there in Duval. Jacksonville

963
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: also resigned Marquise Lee to a crazy four year, thirty

964
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: eight million dollar deal. This is a guy that legitimately

965
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: was on a cut bubble last year and here he

966
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: is a four year, thirty eight million dollar dude. That's

967
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: they're still sitting on Hearns's deal to exactly by the way,

968
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: like we can officially say that Jacksonville and Robinson was

969
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: not a financial decision. They combined to pay more for

970
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: those two guys, which they don't combine equal not. I

971
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: don't understand. I don't understand that at all. I mean,

972
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean at all. I don't understand that at least franchise.

973
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: I mean that's that was the major thing was they

974
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: were going to franchise Alan Robinson. And meanwhile, it sounds

975
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 1: like they're they're gonna give Dante Moncrief a one year,

976
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 1: nine point six million. What do you guys doing, jackson

977
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like signing Moncrief to prove it

978
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: deal because I think he still has ability. I don't

979
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: know if Jacksonville is the place to tap that. What

980
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: are you doing JACKSONVI, What are you doing? But but

981
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a good like I mean, if you're

982
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: gonna because we were saying if they caught Herns like

983
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: this is a like a young and inexperienced receiver corps

984
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: based around Marquis Lee, who's a not that good and

985
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: be But is it based around personally I mean it's

986
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: it's more. I thought it was more it would be

987
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: the best at least known quantity in that group. He's

988
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: the most known quantity. But I think I don't think

989
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: he was the best receiver by by any stretches. They

990
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: imagine they treated him like their number one receiver last

991
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: because at some point he was kind of all they had.

992
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: The other part of this, though, that's that's sort of wild.

993
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: I thought Helan Cole was better than him. Well, no,

994
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: it's not about it's not about who was better. I'm

995
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: just saying who they treated like their number one receiving

996
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: the other the other part that that's wild. And there

997
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:41,479
Speaker 1: they are spending this money on a couple of wide

998
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: receivers and kind of putting together, as you mentioned, a

999
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: young wide receiving corps for a quarterback. They instensibly don't

1000
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: want to throw the football. Yeah you know what I mean.

1001
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: Like again, they're loading, don't get it. They're loading up

1002
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: on offensive line. They were talking about bringing in big

1003
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: blocking tight ends and we didn't love that on that

1004
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: offensive line. That was a great sign that but everything

1005
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: that they're doing suggests we want to get LETTERD. Fournet

1006
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: the ball thirty times a game. Yeah, So then to

1007
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: turn around and drop thirty eight million dollars on I'm

1008
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: actually surprised they weren't. I'm actually surprised they weren't in

1009
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: the market to go get Carlos Hide and kind of

1010
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: mix him in with with Leonard Fournette. Given both of

1011
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: those running backs injuries. They don't want to. They don't

1012
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: want to. You want to non durable and uh, utterly

1013
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 1: predictable players. When they're on the field, you know it's

1014
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: coming there you go. Uh. Dolphins, man, I just and

1015
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: again we talked about I just Dolphins, but then when

1016
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: you think Dolphins, is it Yeah? No, I mean the

1017
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins are insane. I don't know what they're doing. Dolphins,

1018
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: what y'all doing? If they if they had just signed

1019
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: out like when I signed when I woke up on

1020
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 1: uh whatever yesterday morning, Uh, and they had signed Albert Wilson,

1021
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: that's a great move because they just got themselves a

1022
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: discounted Jarvis Landry for a discounted price. I hated, I mean,

1023
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: I just I hated it because look, this is a team,

1024
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: it's it, and it I kind of judge moves based

1025
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: on different teams salary cap situations. Right, So I look

1026
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins. They oh my god, they desperately need

1027
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: salary cap space. Man, I mean every penny there. They

1028
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: don't have enough money to sign their rookie class right now. Okay,

1029
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: so they need to be because they're gonna have to

1030
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: cut sue, That's what I'm saying. So they have to

1031
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: cut in Dominican sue because they don't have the cash.

1032
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: And then they overpay to go get a guy like

1033
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: Albert Wilson, who, again, whatever you think about Albert Wilson, Okay,

1034
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: he signed a three year, twenty four million dollar deal.

1035
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: He had a career high, That's what I'm saying. He

1036
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: had a career high last year, a five and fifty

1037
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: four yards and three touchdowns. Look the market for Albert Wilson.

1038
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but I think that

1039
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: I think they paid the absolute premium to go get him,

1040
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 1: and which again for a team that is just strapped,

1041
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: what are you guys doing? And then they don't like

1042
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: the great part of what I liked about the Wilson

1043
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: deal was that again it was it was they did.

1044
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: They're like, all right, we don't want to pay sixteen

1045
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: million dollars for Jarvis Landry, which I get because of

1046
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: just they obviously obviously rubs people the wrong way there,

1047
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: and also he's just a slot receiver. I don't think

1048
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: he's worked that money. So then they go out and

1049
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: get a what I think is a solid slot receiver

1050
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: and Albert Wilson, and they they probably pay a little

1051
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: more for him than they needed to, but whatever, it's

1052
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: still a discount from what they from what was an

1053
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: important productive piece of their offense. Then they doubled down, though,

1054
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: and go get another slot receiver, and they're paying fourteen

1055
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: million to two slot receivers. It doesn't make any sense.

1056
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,479
Speaker 1: They definitely needed wide receiver help. It makes no sense

1057
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: whatsoever because they have nobody other than Kenny Stills really

1058
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 1: that they can count on. And neither one of these

1059
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: guys is highly productive man. I mean Danny Amadola, they

1060
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: signed him to a two year, twelve million dollar deal.

1061
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: Last year he had six d and fifty nine yards

1062
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. I mean, between Albert Wilson and Danny Amadola,

1063
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: they had five touchdowns total last year. And now, I

1064
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: don't think either one of these guys is like interesting,

1065
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: like Wilson would have been totally interesting for fantasies for

1066
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: finding into that. Yeah, siding into that Jarvis Landry or

1067
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: like a could easily hit hit eighty catches probably would

1068
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,280
Speaker 1: have been the most pretty eighty catches, but he probably

1069
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: could have caught eighty boss now with now with Amandolo there,

1070
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But you're right, though, this is

1071
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: this is the Dolphins. I just it's haffling. Chris Westling

1072
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: says the best that this is the time of the

1073
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: year when the Dolphins cut loose of their previous mistakes

1074
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: to make room for breaking news. Cleveland Browns left tackle

1075
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas officially retired. I'm actually shocked got speed to

1076
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: the NFL's first ever a lineman. That's right, Um, I'm

1077
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: actually shocked that Joe Thomas decided to hang him up.

1078
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 1: And I know that he's coming off of a major injury,

1079
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: but it was an upper body injury. It was a bicep,

1080
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: right torn bicep, but he was coming off of ap

1081
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: torn triesep, but upper body injury. And he's been playing

1082
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: on so many bad teams. This is the year. I

1083
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: know if we say this all the time, but it

1084
00:53:55,719 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: feels like this Brown's team has a real chance to exciting.

1085
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't, maybe they don't win you know, ten games,

1086
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: but it's a team that actually has a lot of

1087
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: juice surrounding it. It could be like the crowds for

1088
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: the first at least for the first month before Hugh Jackson,

1089
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: absolutely the crowds for the first month. Still Todd Haley's

1090
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: head coach, exactly. Todd Haley is absolutely going to be

1091
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Cleveland Browns at some point,

1092
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: There's no question. But I'm surprised Joe Thomas sided and

1093
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm sad too. Well, Okay, here's the thing. I think

1094
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: that Joe Thomas definitely got like doesn't want to come

1095
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: back and do this all over again after getting the

1096
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: taste of being a personality because that's basically it's not

1097
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: his own podcast. Now. He sends uch a well spoken guy.

1098
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah send it out, pretty mediocre tweets that people seem

1099
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: to love. Like, no, sorry, Joe Thomas, I mean I'm

1100
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 1: doing the same thing, so no, no, hey, but I mean, yeah,

1101
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: great career. He's going to can someday, doesn't really have

1102
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: much else to and it was it was want to

1103
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: like have that taste of of just the excitement around that.

1104
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been so like him, I guess not.

1105
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: And again, I mean, his legacy is stamped, his his,

1106
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: he's financially set, he's got another thing coming up now

1107
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: that he seems to really enjoy. So whatever. And this

1108
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: was telegraphed yesterday when they've spent a big contract on

1109
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: on the Steelers backup tackle who's name escapes me right now, um,

1110
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: but that they brought in I think a five year,

1111
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,760
Speaker 1: thirty seven million dollar deal. He started a few games

1112
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 1: to ten games last year for the Steelers and he'll

1113
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: probably be their their their guy to Chris Hubbard. Chris Hubbard. Yeah,

1114
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: and who the hell that guy was? Yeah, I knew

1115
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: I was. Most of Twitter did not know who he was.

1116
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: By the way, I think it's fair that we're talking

1117
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: about Joe Thomas just walking away right now. It's also

1118
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 1: fair to remember that, you know, he was the number

1119
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: three overall pick and on draft Day he went fishing. Yeah,

1120
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: he was out on a boat and he got the

1121
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: call and that so obviously this sort of thing is

1122
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: not really a big deal for him. Yeah, I guess

1123
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: you're there, But man, it would have been I mean,

1124
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 1: because he deserves it, man, he does. He deserves to

1125
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: have that a little bit of taste of glory. Um,

1126
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: and he hasn't seen that in a long time. I

1127
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: mean it was I mean way way back when you

1128
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 1: know they had uh was it Jamal Lewis and who's

1129
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: on the outside that Raylan Edwards on the outside. I

1130
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: mean it was been a long time since then. That's right,

1131
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Um. So congratulations Joe Thomas successful eleven

1132
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL. I mean, you want to talk

1133
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: about a warrior, This dude was a warrior. I just

1134
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: never missed any snaps. He was amazing. Absolutely obviously sad

1135
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: to see him go. I'm looking forward to his media

1136
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: career because he is quite the well spoken man. Do

1137
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: we want to talk real quick on Tyrod and Jarvis?

1138
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 1: Andrey didn't never rundown, but I mean it has happened

1139
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: since last pod. That's a good point. I didn't even

1140
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: think about that. Um, it's craziness. But like I said,

1141
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: the Browns, uh, I think they're gonna be exciting next year. Um,

1142
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: we'll get into how about this, well, we'll get into

1143
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,919
Speaker 1: this one. Carlos Hide signed with the Browns a three

1144
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: year fifteen million dollar deal. Uh it. He is the

1145
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: latest piece that the Browns have now added to an

1146
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: offense that is looking awfully exciting. Tyrod Taylor. Now they've

1147
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: made that trade for he's their quarterback at least for now,

1148
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: right for the bridge in the running back room. Now

1149
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: they've got Duke Johnson and Carlos Hide on the outside.

1150
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: They've got Josh Gordon um And and Corey Coleman as well,

1151
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: Uh David and joeku Is an athletic tight end their

1152
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: offensive line. Well, I thought it was gonna be great

1153
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 1: because I thought Joe Thomas is gonna come back. Well,

1154
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,919
Speaker 1: I I still think it's I still think it's gonna

1155
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: be above average. The talent is certainly there for this

1156
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: offense to finally explode when Todd Haley finally takes over

1157
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: as a head coach for the brown But it's not

1158
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: gonna be Hug jaxsoncause they're gonna lose their first three games.

1159
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: But but again, it's just to me. Anyways, I'm really

1160
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: excited about the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm interested

1161
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: in what happened. I also am sort of has Jarvis

1162
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: Landry in the slot. I forgot to mention, I'm also

1163
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: sort of hesitant to give any takes on what this

1164
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: could mean until we know what they're doing, because the

1165
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: big thing about all these moves is every move that happens,

1166
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: like they signed, they they trade for Jarvis Landry and

1167
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know they're gonna take a quarterback

1168
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 1: number one, right, you know? And then then they trade

1169
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: for Tyrod Taylor. Right now they're taking and then you're like,

1170
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: wait are they taking? Until I think we get a

1171
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: clear idea of what what they're gonna do with those

1172
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: first you know what, they got two out of the

1173
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: first four. Right now, what they do? I think they

1174
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: trade out it's one of them, at least one of

1175
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: them they trade that. I still think they take a quarter.

1176
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: They're taking quarterback at one. I think they and they

1177
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: mean they better take a quarterback at one, and I

1178
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: think they will take a quarter. I am so. I

1179
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: am totally here for when they take defensive and an

1180
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: offensive line mid one four, dude, that you know that,

1181
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: you know what that's that's better than them taking sa

1182
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley and either one of those picks now like

1183
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide, and the longer the offense, their off season

1184
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: goes on. The worst that move would look. Yeah, I

1185
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: hear what I mean, it just can't happen, Like if

1186
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna, dude, I put that out there today that

1187
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: they're so embarrassing and Brown's Twitter so mad at me

1188
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: because they just they just want Parkley. They're not gonna.

1189
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: It would be such an irresponsible allocation of resources. That's

1190
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: what the draft running back that you are, like, if

1191
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: you drafted running back number one overall, he better be

1192
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: your girly, your Zeke. You're Adrian Peterson, not mean, I

1193
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: mean even more than do a damn thing on passing down.

1194
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: That's what you better be. Your levy on Belle, You're

1195
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: you're David Johnson, like you better play him taps seventy

1196
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: per tamps like yeah, And they're not with Johnson and

1197
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: Carlos hide there, they're not doing that. Like Silver reporting

1198
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: that the Cleveland Browns wants to try to extend Duke

1199
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: Johnson and again you can't invest that much salary cap

1200
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: space until running position. No, they're not, I mean, I think,

1201
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: but I will say that, how about if they actually

1202
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: don't extend Duke Johnson and they'll let them go or

1203
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: they some other teams Browns. I mean, it's interesting to me.

1204
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but like I said, Brown's Oh, I

1205
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: am totally here for one Brown. Brown's Twitter loses it

1206
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: when they go defensive and offensive. Lind mid one for Twitter.

1207
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Here for that. Brown's Twitter is wandering in the wilderness

1208
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: with no clear leader, no actual directions. So it's just

1209
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: it's just a bunch of rabble rousing, you know, like

1210
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: they argue and bicker amongst themselves, like they have no

1211
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: actual direction. But back to the point though about you

1212
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: know about say Quanta think about running backs in general.

1213
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: So I know we've kind of been having this I

1214
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: won't say argument, but this ongoing conversation about the value

1215
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: of running backs and and what it is. I eink

1216
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: the fact that one we went a long time in

1217
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: this podcast without talking about running backs, and yesterday, early

1218
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: in the day was wide receiver heavy. It was wide

1219
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: receivers and linebackers and dbs. And it wasn't until late

1220
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: in the day when all of a sudden you start

1221
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: to see some RB news kind of trickle in here,

1222
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: which is kind of like saying, you know, the fact

1223
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,439
Speaker 1: that Ryan Grant got as much money as he did

1224
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: the fact that you know Albert Wilson and and it's passing,

1225
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: It's still passing league. It's a passing league. So stop

1226
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: the pass and you you pass, and you stop other

1227
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: teams from pass. You don't win by running the ball

1228
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: and help and stopping other teams from the ball. So,

1229
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: speaking of Ryan Grant, we want to actually get back

1230
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: on get back on track. Um. Just to button up

1231
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: this point though, Jarvis Lantry to me not gonna be

1232
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: a very high draft pick in Fantasy. Um, great slot receiver,

1233
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: but just given the options on the outside there, um,

1234
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: it could open it up a little bit for Tyrod Taylor.

1235
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: But Tyrod Taylor is the type of quarterback and I

1236
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: don't know if you Jackson will coach you into him

1237
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: or not, but Tyrod from what we've seen thus far

1238
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: in his career, is the type of player to take

1239
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: some risks on the outside. And when you got Josh Gordon,

1240
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: when you got Corey Coleman, hell, even David and Joeku

1241
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: is stretching the scene. He's gonna take those shots. Man,

1242
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: The volume is going to be a not quite there,

1243
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: I believe. Anyways, for Jarvis Lantry and espect again, they

1244
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: have a great pass catching running back and Duke Johnson,

1245
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: who needs to get some looks as well. He's gonna

1246
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 1: be operating in the similar parts of the field as

1247
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: in Joeku and as Landry. I think all three of

1248
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: those guys again, from a real life perspective, I love it.

1249
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: It's great. But if you're expecting Jervis Lanscer to to

1250
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: get you ninety catches in not gonna happen. So that

1251
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,919
Speaker 1: that's just to button up that Cleveland point. But I'll

1252
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: tell you what, Tyrod Taylor is gonna be one of

1253
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: those guys that I will take later in a draft

1254
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: and absolutely loved it. I love that. Um alright, So

1255
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: going back to wider sci very quickly, we'll just burn

1256
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: it through this year. But uh, if you're if you're

1257
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: like me, you didn't like what the Dolphins did, I

1258
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: mean you, hey, did what the Ravens did? They I

1259
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: mean mind blowing LYE inexplicably signed Ryan Flipping Grant to

1260
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: a four year, twenty nine million dollar deal. He was

1261
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: a backup wide receiver that had five hundred and seventy

1262
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: three yards last year. He's twenty eight years old next season,

1263
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: He's not even young. Don't understand this move at all.

1264
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: They also signed John Brown to a one year, five

1265
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: million that's a nice move. That's actually a very good bargain.

1266
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: And that's a good bargain, Yeah, because if I mean,

1267
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: one of the things that people said about his injury

1268
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: with the sickle cell thing was that being out in Arizona,

1269
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: it made it really tough, too tough to manage that,

1270
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: Like he would get tired easy because the heat, injured

1271
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: because of the heat and all that. Who again, who

1272
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: the hell knows, We're not doctors. But that was just

1273
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: something I've heard float around. Maybe now going to a

1274
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: different climate it helps. If he can get back on track,

1275
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: then they've got a starting receiver. I don't know what

1276
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant gives him. By the way, they cut Jeremy Macklin.

1277
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: They also cut Jeremy Macklin as well. Um, why does

1278
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: this move make no sense? Well, first of all, the

1279
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: financials make no sense whatsoever. But Ryan Grant six ft tall,

1280
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: John Brown five ft eleven, Mike Wallace, if they keep

1281
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: him John Brown, by the way, yea, if Mike Wallace,

1282
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 1: if they keep him six ft tall as well as

1283
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: a free agent, he's on the market. So I think

1284
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: got preshop pirman, though they have. It's the Mitchet wide

1285
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: receiver corps. I don't under I mean, what are you

1286
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: guys doing Ravens? Yeah, what are you guys doing? I

1287
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: want no parts of the Ravens. Oh no, not even

1288
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: a little bit, not even Uh we go onto running backs. Okay,

1289
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: So Dion Lewis, I'm gonna go to Marcus Grant here

1290
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: because free Derrick Henry is not gonna happen. Lewis signed

1291
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: a four year deal with the Titans, were twenty million dollars. Again,

1292
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: it puts a series debt in the Derrick Henry Truther's

1293
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: the Derrick Henry upside, I think is and it's funny

1294
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: to me man. People on Twitter hit me back with, well,

1295
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: who cares he's gonna be Dean Lewis is gonna be

1296
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: a rotational back? Bro. They did not pay this man

1297
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: top ten money to be a rotational back. Also means

1298
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: they haven't they're blowing the whistle on themselves, and that

1299
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: they haven't watched Dean Lewis play football ever, because last

1300
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: year he was one of the easily the best interior

1301
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: runners in the NFL. I just and to me, I'm

1302
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: like what are you talking about, man? I mean, yeah,

1303
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna use some kind of two headed attack here.

1304
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: But I mean for either for fantasy value, do you

1305
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: want either piece of Dion Lewis or Derrick Henry at all?

1306
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be too I mean, don't even wrong. Both

1307
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: of both guys will be sleep papers now. But Derrick

1308
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: Henry could have legitimately been a a top thirty pick.

1309
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: But I think I think we always sort of feared

1310
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: that this would happen, Like the moment they said they're

1311
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: getting rid of Marco Murray and we all had our

1312
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: little party for five minutes on um. I think we

1313
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: all sort of knew that that there was there could

1314
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: be something else coming, you know, didn't know necessarily who.

1315
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: Maybe it was gonna be somebody in the draft, maybe

1316
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: it was somebody in free agency. But this the idea

1317
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: that somehow the Titans, We're just gonna turn this running

1318
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: game completely over to Derrick Henry. Uh. I mean, it

1319
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: was what we hoped for, but I think we also

1320
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: kind of knew in reality that it probably wasn't gonna

1321
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: be there. I mean, still, though, if if Derrick Henry

1322
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: was the guy, and even if they added a complimentary piece.

1323
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: Um like Jerick McKinnon, who, oh, by the way, signed

1324
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: with the San Francisco forty niner. Is a big deal

1325
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: for him for year thirty million. I didn't think he

1326
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: was gonna get that. But okay, um, but let's say

1327
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: they they got a clear cut pass catching guy. Um.

1328
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: I still think Derrick Henry would have been again a

1329
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: top third you pick. I mean we're talking in the

1330
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,919
Speaker 1: in the first three rounds of a fantasy draft. Now,

1331
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: I can't I can't see anybody taking I mean they

1332
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: there will be people who take him early, but I

1333
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: really can't see him going you know before like for

1334
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: in terms of good value before the eighth round. I mean, yeah,

1335
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: somebody will, somebody will, somebody consider, but I don't think

1336
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: it's good value. The good thing, I mean, well not good.

1337
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: But Dean Lewis is not really durable either. There could

1338
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: be a scenario maybe you don't take Derrick Kennedy early

1339
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: and then you try to trade form or pick him

1340
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: up off waivers, because if if Lewis was to get hurt,

1341
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: then I think we we see he had. Henry definitely

1342
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 1: could be a feature back, at least for as stretch,

1343
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,959
Speaker 1: maybe not over the course of the season. But there's

1344
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of moves this free agency period. Uh, head

1345
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: scratching moves. No, no, no for for for real football

1346
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: freaking love this move fantasy And I've been writing mostly

1347
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: like real football pieces and real and it's like, Okay,

1348
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm I love this, I love this, And then I

1349
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: got to think fantasy mindset, it's like not as great,

1350
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: doesn't bring a lot of clarity whatever. I kind of

1351
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: got to get back into that mindset because yeah, from

1352
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 1: a real life perspective, love this move for the Titans.

1353
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: It brings him another versatile piece to an offensive could

1354
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: be really exciting. Both could be. I don't know what's

1355
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: Mike Verybell gonna be. Well, they know I hired Matt Lathoor,

1356
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: who's traded, who's trained under both Sean McVeigh and the

1357
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: Shanahans and Kyle Shanahans. That's interesting. So yeah, No, he's

1358
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: he's been with with these guys before, so I mean

1359
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: he's really exciting as an offensive this first time. He'll

1360
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: be calling plays. He was the OC for the Rams

1361
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: last year kind of again that play designer, so will

1362
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: best in the wide receiver room. Man, I just I

1363
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: didn't understand this signing. Why invest this much money into

1364
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: a running back that good? But Lewis catches passes they didn't,

1365
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: and they and as good as a good pass blocker,

1366
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: and he's a great And I just think that they

1367
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,919
Speaker 1: can be based around a two headed running attack now

1368
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: because both these both these guys were top three of

1369
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: my next Staffs Elusive running Backs ranking, So they're gonna be.

1370
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 1: There're a dangerous running team, like their offensive line is nasty,

1371
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: and again, they can use Lewis as a pass year two.

1372
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: It's a good point. The Patriots didn't much last year

1373
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: because they wanted to preserve his health and they had

1374
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: James White and Rex Burkhead and all that, but but

1375
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: the Titans don't really have that guy. So I got you.

1376
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 1: And I like Taywan Taylor as a sleeper for next

1377
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: year two and Corey Davis to bounce back. So this

1378
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: offense is is exciting to me. And it all kind

1379
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 1: of intersects back at Marcus Mariota, who I think will

1380
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: be a post type sleeper, great quarterback Isaiah Crow, Well,

1381
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: the Crow has flown to New York. Who cares the

1382
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,759
Speaker 1: Jets on a three year deal. Matt Fort Remember retired.

1383
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 1: Now he's got some opportunity there. He's going to be

1384
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: one of those you know, middle to late round running

1385
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: backs that you take that no, that I will never take.

1386
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: That you will never take. But a lot of folks,

1387
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you What's like? You got him

1388
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: and boal Pal. It's like there's no clear role. They're

1389
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: like both those guys are there. He's they're okay as

1390
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: early down runners, and they're okay. Has past basically basically

1391
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:50,600
Speaker 1: left Cleveland and ended up in a situation similar to

1392
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: Cleveland because probably it's going to give him a better

1393
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 1: deal than the than year deal. Right right, three year

1394
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: deal for him is pretty good. But no, I disagree.

1395
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 1: I think crow Wells actually a quite a good early

1396
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: down thumper um and again his pass catching obviously a

1397
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: lot to be desired. I think bal Pal skill set

1398
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 1: much more. I think he's much more elusive, much more

1399
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: explosive as a pass catching back. So I would imagine

1400
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: that might be the workload. Is this is this categorization

1401
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more fair? Isaiah Crowel isn't slightly above

1402
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: average early down runner. Pal is an average early down runner.

1403
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: U Isaiah Croil is an average pass catcher. Pal is

1404
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: a slightly average pass catching and stuffs. So man, I'm

1405
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: just saying, if you're looking for a flex player, this

1406
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 1: guy is not better. I feel like, you know, last

1407
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: year we started the season with the whole hashtag never

1408
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: jets and you forced to eat Crow no pun intended. Um,

1409
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 1: But like now, like this year, I'm not gonna be

1410
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: that harsh about it, but I'm just gonna look at

1411
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: when when we get to the mid to late rounds

1412
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: and like their jets on the board, it really gonna

1413
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: be kind of like a It's again, I want wanted

1414
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: the these guys when the other gets hurt and I

1415
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 1: get what you're saying, so then then there's less of

1416
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: an obstacle. I don't know, I don't know. I think

1417
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: he'll be a safer play, uh than some of the

1418
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 1: sleepers you might take. But anyways, whatever, we're moving on.

1419
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson cut by the Cardinals, Jonathan Stewart going to

1420
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,839
Speaker 1: the Giants Giant eye roll for me former Carolina GM

1421
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: now New York Giants. GM actually predicted that when the

1422
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: when the Panthers let him go, Kelly, what are you

1423
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 1: guys doing? Dave Gettleman, what are you doing Man, don't

1424
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: bring in a thirty one year old Jay st who

1425
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,759
Speaker 1: averaged a career low three point four yards per carry.

1426
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 1: He looked completely they're bringing him in two really good games,

1427
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 1: they look completely cook. They're bringing him into mentors sake

1428
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: one Barkley. I don't think it doesn't even make sense

1429
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: to me. You got a guy like Orleans dark Wall

1430
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: who's gonna be twenty six years old and he averaged

1431
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: four point four yards per carry. Give him that money.

1432
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: The discussion of New York running so it's so sad.

1433
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: What are you guys doing? Getleman, what are you doing?

1434
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Can we not talk about York running backs anymore? Wait

1435
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,639
Speaker 1: till one of them make a crunch move. There you go,

1436
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: um again, just to reiterate forty nine ers, they brought

1437
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 1: in Jeric love this move a four year, thirty million.

1438
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: I love this move for fantasy and I love it

1439
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: for for real life. The financials are a little wonky,

1440
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 1: but whatever, That's what I'm saying. You know what I mean.

1441
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: They've got the money, so I'm cool with it. Right.

1442
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 1: So and again, like I said, I judge these deals

1443
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:29,640
Speaker 1: based on team needs, right, So, uh, the money is

1444
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: a little wonky. There's no question about it. That's a

1445
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: lot of money for a pass catcher running back. But

1446
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Jack McKinnon I think adds an extra dimension to that

1447
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: running game and and I really like what they got

1448
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 1: going on kind of be Kyle Shanahan's new Tevin Coleman.

1449
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 1: That's that's what I thought, as soon as well, what's

1450
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 1: the running back room look like there and after? And

1451
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:55,480
Speaker 1: maybe that met bred to Joe Williams. Joe Williams is okay, okay,

1452
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: I think enough to remember when Joe Williams is going

1453
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: to set the world on fire, push carlo Is Hide

1454
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 1: into the bay. I think I think they're happy to

1455
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 1: be rid of Carlos Hide because I think that they

1456
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 1: kind of viewed him as like, this isn't our guy,

1457
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,520
Speaker 1: but he's the best back of the roster. Now Shanahan

1458
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 1: can kind of throw everything against the wall and see

1459
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: what sticks. Which has more been his approach in the

1460
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 1: past is which one of these running back skeins momentum

1461
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: in my system and we can let him run with it.

1462
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: And I expect they bring in another young running back

1463
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: from the draft to compete for that early down job.

1464
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: But I love McKinnon is like a weapon out of

1465
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 1: the backfield or Jimmy Yeah. I mean to me, the offense.

1466
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: I like what they got going on, you know what

1467
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna bring. They brought Markis good Win back,

1468
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: Trent Taylor on the inside. I would have absolutely it

1469
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: would have been a home run. If they could have

1470
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: got Alan Robinson on the outside, it would have been

1471
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: such a perfect marriage. Um. But they didn't. But still

1472
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: they got they Garson's gonna ball and you're gonna have

1473
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: to deal with it. I'm I'm realizing, why do you hate?

1474
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't hate Peter Garzona. This is your new mark Ingram. No.

1475
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 1: First of all, look what happened with that. First of all,

1476
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: I love Pierre Garsone three years ago whatever. At this

1477
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,440
Speaker 1: point in his career, he's a jag. He's just a guy.

1478
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: He's just a guy. What's his point in his career?

1479
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: That's just that's That's what I'm saying. I mean, he's

1480
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: a guy who he's a jag who was gonna pace

1481
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: for a thousand yards season. So they got hurt, but

1482
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: played eight games, had five hundred yards to do the

1483
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: mad bam? Are we are we done here? But yes,

1484
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 1: I like the Jerick McKinnon move to San Francisco. I

1485
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,520
Speaker 1: think it adds a nice little dimension, a little explosiveness.

1486
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: We talked about athletes. This guy is an athlete. Man. Yeah,

1487
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: when you go, if you go wide receiver early in

1488
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: drafts and other positions and you wait on running back,

1489
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: it's give me this guy. Give me this guy, man, um.

1490
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: I think that's it. I think, jeez, man, that was.

1491
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 1: We've been here a while, but yeah, oh my god,

1492
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: she's ready. I wouldn't blame. Not about to kill you guys. Okay,

1493
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: that's I'm hungry though. That's hurry up and up. Let's

1494
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 1: do this thing. All right, we go to daily taps

1495
01:13:56,560 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 1: and close out DAP whatever. All right, Matt Harmon, what

1496
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: do you got? I gotta start. I'll just I'll give

1497
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: a daily DAP to d J. Moore, the wide receiver

1498
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 1: at a Mary Maryland. I had a phone interview with

1499
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: him this morning for yeah, yeah, I know right, Uh,

1500
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: for a piece on NFL dot Com that's really excited

1501
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: to watch his career. He was cool. He gave me

1502
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: some give me some time, and I'm excited for people

1503
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 1: to read his thoughts on just a wide receiver position

1504
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 1: and uh and what he has to offer as good,

1505
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 1: good guy, definitely worth rooting for and a really really

1506
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: good player too for sure. So yeah, yeah, for sure.

1507
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: And he he he was he was cool, he was

1508
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 1: good to talk to. So MGM, my got Marcus Grant.

1509
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: I want to daylite deap. This is kind of a

1510
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: weird gap, but I was flipping channels over the weekend

1511
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 1: and on i f C, which is a pretty cool channel.

1512
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: It is um, they were showing Planet Terror, right, And

1513
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: so I don't know if you remember when the Grindhouse

1514
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,799
Speaker 1: films came out a few years back, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez,

1515
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: He's did like one kind of homage to like seventies

1516
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 1: exploitation films and stuff like that and super or Supergore,

1517
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, just all kind of exploitation stuff. And what

1518
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: always is frustrated me is that when I'm watching on

1519
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: cable death Proof, which was the Tarantino section of it,

1520
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: the second half of it, that's the one that gets

1521
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 1: all the run on cable, when Planet Terror was a

1522
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: far superior movie. I didn't even watch Planet Tarror. Planet

1523
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: Terror is a better movie than death Proof. What what's

1524
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: the overall concept on Planet Terror? It's kind of a

1525
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: can you explain that in lessen thirty seconds? It's like

1526
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: it's like a zombie movie based look like a zombie

1527
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: horror thing. But obviously because it's a sort of a

1528
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: parody spoof, there's eight of elements to it. Um, it

1529
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: was way better than Death Proof. And so finally I

1530
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 1: f C actually was showing both of them back to back,

1531
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:40,799
Speaker 1: and I was just happy that somebody's actually giving Planet

1532
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Terror some run. Uh, you know, it's good. So that's

1533
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: the ifcdaps to Planet Terror. If you haven't seen it,

1534
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: go see it. Check it out right there you go.

1535
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: I'll give a daily DAP out to the student protesters today.

1536
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,600
Speaker 1: It takes a lot man to to know that you

1537
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,560
Speaker 1: may face some consequences and get out there and be

1538
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: potically active, whatever side of the fence you might be on.

1539
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: Just being politically active, I think it's cool, man. I mean,

1540
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 1: this is a country that was founded on those type

1541
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 1: of principles, so um, and and again they might be

1542
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: facing some kind of you know, punishments wherever they might live.

1543
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: And for those folks to still get out there and

1544
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: do that, that's the real sign of protest. To me.

1545
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 1: It's easy, I think to to to say, well, I'm

1546
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 1: gonna go protest on a Saturday morning and then the

1547
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: rest of them, and then afterwards, I'm gonna go to

1548
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 1: Starbucks and it's gonna be cool. Is entirely different thing. Man.

1549
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: To say, you know what, I could face some consequences here,

1550
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: some real serious ones if you're a student and I'm

1551
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 1: still gonna go out there and I'm still gonna do

1552
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: my thing. And again, because these are the principles that

1553
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 1: this country was founded on. Man, it's sort of it's

1554
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: sort of touched us here at the network. Um, there's

1555
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: a school across the streets, across the street, and there

1556
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 1: were some protests that it's it's it's an elementary school

1557
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: across the street from us, but there were we had

1558
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:00,759
Speaker 1: an email about it because uh, you know, they were protesters.

1559
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if they don't know if they came

1560
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 1: across the street protested in front of our building, but

1561
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: they were certainly out there. They most certainly did not

1562
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 1: they got into the middle of the street a little

1563
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:12,560
Speaker 1: bit to take some take some cell phone picks. I

1564
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: don't think it was too I don't think it was

1565
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: too disruptive though, not really, but yeah, I mean and

1566
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: the and just to kind of, you know, put a

1567
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: button on this thing. Man. It's just look, get out

1568
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: there and vote. You know. Well again whatever side you're on, man,

01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 1: just go out there and vote. Um. We got some

1580
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:05,479

1589
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: of this thing. Yeah, honestly, I was very confused. It's

1590

Speaker 1: a croissant that's flat, yeah, and it's made in shaped

1591
