Speaker 1: go check it out, Michael, Can I customize the league? Like?

56
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: If I wanted to give touchdown passes eight points? Is

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: that allowing it? Absolutely? Is that's crazy talk. I don't

58
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: know why you want to do? Not happy? You're not

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: happy about? Do you want touchdown passes to be worth

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: like zero points? Anti quarterback? You are? It's all good.

61
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: You get you know, you don't get negative when you

62
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: throw quarterbacks because they're so deep. They allow me to

63
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: do what I want to do, go running back, some

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: wide receivers early and go crazy. Give us a sleeper

65
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: for this far quarterback sleeper And it's really hard because

66
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: my definitions of sleeper are so like strangent that it's

67
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: really hard for me to pick a sleeper because because

68
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, can you say Josh Freeman is a sleeper

69
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: after he had a pretty good year last year? You know,

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: can you say Andy Dalton's a sleeper after he had

71
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: a pretty good last year because he's not good at

72
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: fantasy soul? Say that a deep sleeper. I'm gonna give

73
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: you Ryan Tannehill because of what they added in the

74
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: off season and the fact that all the news you've

75
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: heard during O T A S and hopefully this will

76
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: continue into training camp, is that he's looked really good.

77
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: Not a guy that's going to be drafted in a

78
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: lot of leagues and up might be a guy who

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: you pick up up the waiver wire, but there's been

80
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: a lot of buzz around Tannehill, so he wouldn't draft

81
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: him at all. What if you have like one of

82
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: those second year starters and you need like a valuable backup. Yeah,

83
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: but I mean a valuable backup. Who'd I'd rather have

84
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: Michael Vick or Andy Dalton or Josh Freeman. I still

85
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: think that the position is so deep that Tannehill is

86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna end up getting left off of a lot of drafts.

87
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: Not because he's not good, not because he doesn't have upside,

88
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: but because the position is ridiculous. This year, I would

89
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: draft him ahead of Mark Sanchez. I like I had

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: to get the first in that list you just gave out,

91
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: like Michael Vick, Yes, but then I would go Tannehill

92
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: ahead of Freeman and the other guy you mentioned. Who

93
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: is the other guy you mentioned? But I just I

94
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: don't I just don't like the beer is another one.

95
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd rather have Roethlisbergers. What about Sam Bradford. No, no, no,

96
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: don't like that situation. Now they play three of the

97
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: toughest defenses twice a year. But I actually have people

98
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: if you can throw the football to. Now you think

99
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: you hope Tavon Austin, I mean, everybody's assuming he's going

100
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: to be the second coming. He's a rookie and he's

101
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: still I like Tannehill, but again, I'd rather go as

102
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: as a number two quarterback. I'd rather go with a

103
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: guy that I know is going to be able to

104
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: go in and be a matchup based starter for me,

105
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: or start if my guy gets hurt. Uh, start if

106
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: I've got a bye week and I like Tannehill, but

107
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna draft in ahead of some of these

108
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: guys that I know what I'm gonna get. All Right, Today,

109
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna cover running Back to the Quarterbacks last week

110
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: and go on our archives. You can take a listen

111
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: to that podcast as well. We'll get to running back

112
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: to the second but first is available on NFL dot com,

113
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: Slash Fantasy Boom three plugs for Rank and five a

114
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: little bit. It's still pretty good. If Adam does that.

115
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: I don't consider that a plug. What's a plug. It's

116
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: a good plug for NFL dot com. So there's other

117
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: plugs are bad plug? Is what you're saying. Well, if

118
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: it's like plugging Adam Rank dot com or NFL dot

119
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: don't to do with you. It's a bad plug. No,

120
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: not me with fantasy. Okay, all right, that has nothing

121
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: to do with me. I don't fantasy. I don't know

122
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: if i'd tongue, I don't mind and plug in the

123
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: comedy shows. I can tell you right now. I saw

124
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Adam and Irvine was about a month ago. He was fantastic.

125
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: That he was fantastic. That was when we had a

126
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: couple of fancy earlier away and I felt bad. I'm like,

127
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: you know what because I almost retired. That was almost

128
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: good for me. It was really good. I went up

129
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: after Kevin Farley, which is pretty there, like, yeah, Kevin

130
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Farley is going before you. You're like, I'm not going

131
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: on this show, Like I don't want to follow that

132
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: because everybody's gonna leave, everyody's gonna go to get to

133
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: the bathroom, you know, after this guy goes on. But

134
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: you know, the crowd stayed and I nailed it and

135
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: I said, that's it. I got. I don't know if

136
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: I'll ever reach that height again, and almost walked off

137
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: at the end. Was listening and I was literally like

138
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: so proud, like he was he like the biggest high

139
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: fight was he sitting on the aisle was yeah, he did.

140
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: He did a really really nice job. It was a

141
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: nice moment. Michael. Yeah, all right, well it's been a

142
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: nice moment from Maurice Jones Drew the last couple of

143
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: days too, was speaking about fantasies. We get to this

144
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: crazy story. You know. He told this story this week

145
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: that when he was playing a game with Greg Jones

146
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: as lead blocker, and he was down on the goal

147
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: line and Maurice Jones Drew, a big fantasy guy, said look,

148
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: I knew in the game I was playing because he

149
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: always drafts himself. If I scored a touchdown, I would

150
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: win and I would beat Greg Jones. Jones kind of

151
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: gave me a wink like he wasn't gonna block for

152
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: me so I couldn't get in the end zone and

153
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: beat him. He said he was kidding. But you guys,

154
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: remember we had Chris Cooley on our show last year

155
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: and he said, after the Redskins lost a game, I

156
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: think it was the Panthers. He had somebody on the

157
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Panthers who had had a big game and he walked

158
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: off saying, well, I'm happy because I won my fantasy matchup.

159
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: These guys take fantasy more serious than you think they do.

160
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Oh well, especially Jones Drew. I mean, he has his

161
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: own show on Serious XM, and he's clearly big on himself,

162
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: which that's good. He dropped himself last year and that

163
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: didn't work out too well for him. And uh, I

164
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: don't think he drafted Rashade Jennings as the handcuff either,

165
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: as like, hey, I've got confidence in myself. But um,

166
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: he was kidding. He had tweeted out afterwards that you

167
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: know it was a joke because people were taken it

168
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: seriously because you know, the league office sees something like

169
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: that and who knows what's gonna happen. But Champ Bailey

170
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 1: plays fantasy football, D'Angel with There's a lot of players

171
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: who play fantasy. Chris Cooley, who just retired, we all know,

172
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: we've had him on the show at him. He loves

173
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: playing fantasy voard. He was big time into it as well,

174
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: and I think he's the best example for why players

175
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: do separate for the most part, fantasy and reality. Because

176
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: he had a game where it was against my Cowboys,

177
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: of course, and scored three touchdowns and the Cowboys lost.

178
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: The Redskins won, but Cooley was on his opponent's fantasy

179
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: team that week, and Cooli's three touchdowns ended up beating him.

180
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: If you understand my point, of course, I do understand

181
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: the point that the problem is people just overreact way

182
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: too much. Like we all love films like Bull Durham

183
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: where they have that scene where Bull Durham tips the

184
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: pitch of you know, Tim fastball is coming or whatever,

185
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: and it's funny and everybody laughs and it's it's a

186
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: it's a funny tale, and that's what MGD was going for.

187
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: He's going for a little tail like that, like, hey,

188
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I hey the my my fullback said

189
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna block for me, ha ha, And most

190
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: people would laugh that off, but unfortunately the Internet does

191
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: not take jokes very well. And it must be seriously

192
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: guess this professional athlete was playing in a fantasy football game,

193
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: probably for free, and then he was not gonna block.

194
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: Not not only that, not only would it be irresponsible

195
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: for his team, he could get that guy seriously hurt.

196
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: There is no way that he would do it. However,

197
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: that being said, that all being said, one of our

198
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: research guys went out and it's like there's a Brooder

199
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: film where he looked into these games and I think

200
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: m j D had a four touchdown or three touchdown

201
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: performance in two thousand and eleven, and they went back

202
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: and well that if there was a game, it was

203
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: that one. And there was a play where Greg Jones

204
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: did miss a block, which is even war and you're like,

205
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: oh no, don't don't say that. The guy actually misses

206
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: a block, so you can go back and check and

207
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: you're like, this is it now all the I mean, look,

208
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: if we spent a lot of time this week going

209
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: back and listening into a conversation between Tim Tebow and

210
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: and and Tom Brady where he said, hey, I'm watching

211
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: after her nanda Is and everybody, I'll keep an eye

212
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: on them for you, and thinking that's like some bast conspiracy,

213
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: like he knew all along. Then I think somebody will

214
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: look at that thing and be like, yeah, Greg, Greg Jones,

215
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: he did he missed a block. Friend, No, he did

216
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: not stop the nonsense. It was a joke people, Yeah,

217
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: that's all. Yeah, it was. It was something where he

218
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: said it and maybe there was one of those understated

219
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: funny winks. Oh I ain't gonna block you because you're

220
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: gonna with Okay, that's fun. But of course he blocked

221
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: for could could I see that being like, hey, we're

222
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: just joking around. I'll make you fix for a second.

223
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: I can see that because it's Jones. It's not like

224
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: in the program where what the fullback just refused to

225
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: block for Omar Reps because speed, No, he's well, he

226
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: was stealing halle Berry from him. This is so, of course.

227
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, that whatever reminds me that the

228
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,880

Speaker 1: know what, Rick Flair did this at the end of

244
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: his career. When wrestlers get to be a certain age,

245
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: your your role and is now to put other guys

246

249
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: I met I met him once, like ten years ago.

250
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: He came into an interview for when I was working

251
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: at Fox in TV, and he came in and sat down.

252
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: Of course, everybody's walking around going whoa. He comes in,

253
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: He's got his PR person with him, and it's this

254
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: girl is like, you know, twenty three years old. Of course,

255
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: so it comes in, sits down and everything, and and

256
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: I say this what we're gonna talk about? He's all right,

257
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: that's great, that's great. And then the girl says, wait

258
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: a minute, what's wait? What are you gonna reference? And

259
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: he turned and says, how are you gonna be my PR?

260
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: Or some when you don't know who I am? And

261
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, this is a pretty good start. And

262
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: then he married her probably you know Cherry the King Lawler.

263
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: He's like in his sixties and and you know he

264
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: had a heart attack on the air, uh recently his

265
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: girlfriends like in her twenties. Of course, bless him, but

266
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: that's what you do when you see fabs. The better

267
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: you do with fantasy football. When you're like sixty five,

268
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: you can date one of the Bell of Twins daughters. Okay,

269
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: that's a little creepy, but yeah, we haven't give me

270
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: another sleeper. Michael. Well, it's this other big news we

271
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: get to here in the Fantasy Live podcast, and you

272
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: can hits up on Twitter as well at and Fell

273
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live, at Adam Rank at Michael Fabiano. There we go.

274
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: We got the plans. The plugs are just hopefully people

275
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: at pen and Paper now they've already turned off. Alright,

276
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: two guys who were just cleared to practice and training camp,

277
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson, Tony Romo. Tony Romo not that big a

278
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: deal we thought he was gonna come back from says

279
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: he's still one of those top eleven, top twelve quarterbacks.

280
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: That's where you're gonna draft him. But Pierre Garson is

281
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: a guy, all the talent in the world. When he

282
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: was healthy last year, he had great chemistry with RG three.

283
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: But he's got a problem staying healthy. Right now, Where

284
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: do you look at him for drafting Garson? I think

285
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: he draft him as a three. He always want to

286
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: try to draft a guy for value that that's where

287
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna win your fantasy football league. So, you know,

288
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: people ask me, is there other players out there you

289
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: would never draft? And honestly, I say, there's not any

290
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: player that I would never draft. Ryan Matthews, who has

291
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: burned me for the last two and last three years.

292
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: If I can get him as my fourth running back

293
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: who I don't like this year, is available to be

294
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: my third wide receiver, then I'll take him. If Pierre

295
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: Garson is out there and I can get him as

296
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: my three and he's got he's got you know, wide

297
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: receiver too potential, I'll absolutely take him. Yeah. I really

298
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: like him in this buddy. You look at the stats

299
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: last year he did well with with R Yeah, he

300
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: was great when he was playing. Yeah, he just can't

301
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: stay healthy. But that's what you're doing at the at

302
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver three position you're drafting. You're basically swinging

303
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: for the fences. You're hoping that a guy that you

304
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: draft can come out and have a huge year. Somebody

305
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: catch lightning in a bottle, because most of the time

306
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: that the team that you draft and the team that

307
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: you're with in Week sixteen are two completely different teams.

308
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: And so I'll take a chance at a guy like

309
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson, who's shown that he can be a great receiver.

310
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying great like he's he's had games where you're

311
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: like this guy in that game against the Cowboys last year, Yes, exactly,

312
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: and you're watching that game. We're hanging out with Patty

313
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: McGee house. And that is the mother in law of Rosie,

314
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: the mother of rosiemc. Can you plug something for her?

315
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: Is there something to plug? I'll tell you, she's a

316
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: heck of a cook. She is the best plug. Plug

317
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: a dish. You gotta plug a dish for. There's nothing

318
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: that she can't do. But her pies down dominate. Unbelievable.

319
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: All right. She's tried. She's tried to get me to

320
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: gain the weight back that I lost over the off season,

321
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: and I don't appreciate it. You it's a it's a

322
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: couple of pans here and there. But Pierre Garson is

323
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: a guy that I I really like this year. I

324
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: really see the up side, I especially if RG three

325
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: is not gonna run as much and he's gonna throw

326
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: the ball. And the thing that gets lost with r

327
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: G three is that everybody talks about is running and

328
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: his scrambling and everything. He was a pretty accurate passer.

329
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: He didn't turn the ball for a running quarterback. He

330
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: barely fumbled the ball. And as a passer, he only

331
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: threw what five interceptions, something very low and single digits,

332
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: and he's a he's an accurate passer. You go back

333
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: to Baylor, he's an accurate passer. If he had to

334
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: be just a drop back passer, he would still be

335
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: very effective. But he's still gonna have that threat to run.

336
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: So Pierre gar Son, yes, as an art as a

337
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver three, I really like him this year. So yeah,

338
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm with Young Garston. The big question for me with

339
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: with with RG three obviously is his health and when

340
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: he comes back, and not just dealing with this injury now,

341
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: but staying healthy throughout the season, because he's not like

342
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: a Cam Newton or Colin Kaepernick, where when these guys

343
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: run the football, I'm okay because I know they're gonna

344
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: put a lick on the dB and it's not gonna

345
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: be a situation where I look, oh boy, he's gonna

346
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: get drilled. But RG three, every time he takes off,

347
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: you hold your breath and go don't get hit. Don't

348
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: get hit because he's got that frail he doesn't have

349
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: a body that's made forgetting that kind of pound. And

350
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: we have heard from our Ian Rappaport that uh he

351
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: expects the Redskins to to utilize the same sort of

352
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: uh thought process with r G three as the vikings

353
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: of Peterson last year. Remember we were all freaking out

354
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: about Adrian Peterson at this point last season because he

355
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: was on the pup list and camp, he didn't play

356
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: in the preseason at all. And it's really hard to

357
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: take a guy in the first and second round who

358
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: is coming off of major knee reconstruction, at least it

359
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: was heading into last year. So that could actually make

360
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: r G three's value sink even more. Think about it,

361
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: if the Redskins announced that when camp opens he's on

362
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: the pup list, okay, which uh doesn't mean that you

363
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: know he's gonna miss six games in the regular season,

364
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: that it's a completely different different situation. But if he

365
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: doesn't play any preseason games, and then people are going

366
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: to people panic in fantasy football, and that's where you

367
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: can potentially get a bargain. So like, for example, Josh Gordon,

368
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: he's only gonna miss two games, I'll still grab him

369
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: in the late rounds as a as a fourth or

370
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: fifth wide receivers, got a ton of upside, justin Lagman.

371
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: If I have deeper rosters, I'll take him late. Okay,

372
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't have him for four weeks, but then I

373
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: get probably the best wide receiver if he was on

374
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: the waiver wire right there. Uh So, I think a

375
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: lot is gonna depend on what the Redskins decided to

376
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: do if they hold him out of camp, if he

377
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: doesn't play in the preseason, people are gonna start worrying

378
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: about him. And if if you're not the type that

379
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: likes to take risks, well, there's a lot of other

380
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: options out there at the quarterback position, guys with a

381
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: similar value like Kaepernick, like Russell Wilson and players like that.

382
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you the one guy, and I said

383
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: this last week, I have such a man crush on Andrew.

384
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: Look I'm telling you right now, And I said this

385
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: in the mailbag. He is the next Aaron Rodgers, and

386
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: he is going to be a top five quarterback real

387
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: soon in fantasy, and it could be this year. It

388
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: probably will be this year. And I think that the

389
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: switching of the offense going to Pep Hamilton's having the

390
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: West Coast offense is gonna cut down his interceptions. Talking

391
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: about r G three being able to protect the football

392
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: and not turn it over a lot. Going back to

393
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: the West Coast offense is gonna allow Andy Luck to

394
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: throw short intermediate passes. He's not gonna try to be

395
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: trying to stretch the defenses like he had to last

396
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: year with Bruce Arians who likes the vertical game, and

397
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna play much more into his strengths. He's also

398
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: a great runner. You look at he he doesn't tuck

399
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: the ball and run as much as Kaepernick or r

400
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: G three, but he does have the same combine measurables

401
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: as Cam Newton. He has the ability, he has the

402
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: ability to extend plays. A lot of upside there. I

403
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: I think the Colts could take a step back because

404
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: we see this each and every year. These teams that

405
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: reached the playoffs probably a year before they're a year

406
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: or two before they're ready, they'll take a step back,

407
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: So that means that their team's worse. He's gonna be

408
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: throwing more, giving him more opportunities to get more points.

409
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: That'll just mean more fantasy points for him. So as

410
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: as the Colts go down, he goes up. I like,

411
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: I like, look, you know, as a matter of fact,

412
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: I've moved him ahead of Tom Brady and I put

413
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: him up in my rankings, which I update every Tuesday

414
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. That's ranks rankings every Tuesday. How

415
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: many is that? That's like? This is like that Jets

416
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Patriots game from last Thanksgiving and you know they had

417
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: the butt fumble in the and and then the other

418
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: fumble and suddenly it's like forty two nothing. That's what's

419
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: going on, all right. But with Kaepernick situation right now,

420
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: people question about is Billy to lead and now no

421
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree, where's his stock going for you guys? Well,

422
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: I've got Kaepernick exactly, um, unless he gets hurt. To me,

423
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: he's a lock to rush for eight hundred yards and

424
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: six to eight touchdowns. And when you can get that

425
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: kind of production from quarterback who can also throw for

426
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: three thousand thirty five yards and another you know, eighteen

427
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: and twenty two touchdowns. I'll take it all day long, guys.

428
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: And I think I feel like I say this all

429
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: the time, but Tim Tebow is the ultimate example of

430
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: a quarterback who may not be real good when it

431
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: comes to real football, but boy is he good in

432
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: fantasy and the stats. And Kaepernick is far and away

433
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: a better quarterback than Tim Tebow. He's as good a runner,

434
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: if not better. Uh He's like but he can throw

435
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: exactly right. I think I think he's coming off the

436
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: board somewhere in the fifth or sixth round. Um. I

437
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna take him there because I

438
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: like to wait depending on the floor of the draft.

439
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,239
Speaker 1: But he did lose some of his luster in my opinion, though,

440
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: if if no, not not that because Crabtree's gone. If

441
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: Crabtree was there, I would be talking about Kaepernick like

442
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: I just spoke about Andrew Luck. What don't you say though,

443
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: that like, uh, ant Kwan Bolden is almost the same

444
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: as Crabtree. Like it's an even swap to me. Are

445
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: you feeling all right? I'm feeling great? Really, I'm sorry.

446
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: One of them was the wait a minute, suppose a minute,

447
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about a playmaking field stretcher who can beat

448
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: defenses versus a J. Bolden who's thirty three and a

449
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: possession receiver and hasn't had a thousand yards in three years.

450
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: But he looked great in the Super Bowl. He showed

451
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: that of aby what what what did Michael Crabtree do

452
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: until Colin Colin Kaepernick made him? He wasn't doing anything,

453
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: or Jim Harbaugh made him. Who knows right, the combination

454
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: of both. But that's what I'm saying. Kaepernick still the quarterback,

455
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: Crabtree's there, and and you have Bolden, and then you

456
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: have Vernon Davis with the running game. I mean, that's

457
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: a heck of a that's a heck of an offensive attack.

458
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: Now you're leaning on Bolden to be your number one,

459
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: and he's probably gonna play on the slot. Sometimes you've

460
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: got a J. Jenkins and and Mario Manningham calling off

461
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: an A C. L and Kyle Williams. I mean to me,

462
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: that's that's a heck of a lot less attractive, and

463
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna find somebody that catch the ball.

464
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: I have no doubt Jim Harber has done such a

465
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: great job with him. You know what, it's it's all Kaepernick.

466
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at Michael Crabtree was almost

467
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: considered a draft bust for a for a while because

468
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: it didn't look like he was gonna do anything. And

469
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: then Kaepernick comes in and like, Okay, now Michael Crabtree

470
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: is good. Like what is the difference? Like, oh yeah,

471
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: it's Callings not Kevin. Nick's not gonna turn Bolden into

472
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: crab Tree. Boulden is not. Is already different, per They're

473
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: completely different players. Bolden is already good. No, no, no, Boden.

474
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: Does Boulden have a thousand yards this year? Probably? Probably? Yeah? Right,

475
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: probably probably. I mean I don't know. Could he get injured? Yes,

476
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Bolden play sixteen games, projective numbers, he's

477
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: gonna have a thousand yards? Easy? Alright, One more quarterback

478
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: before you get to the running backs here again, we're

479
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna break down the running back position here. On this

480
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: episode of the NFL Fantasy Live podcast, Aaron Rodgers said

481
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: today that he's adjusting to life without Greg Jennings and

482
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: Donald Driver. He said, we're a different football team now.

483
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: They made a couple of nice draft picks he put

484
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: a running game in the hands of a couple of

485
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: new players at He Lacy and Jonathan Franklin. But now

486
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: it's this pecking order of wide receivers now with Greg

487
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: Jennings out of the mix, Driver out of the mix,

488
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: it's Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, James Jones. Who's your first

489
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: or not this who's the best pick in the draft,

490
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: because obviously Randall Cobb is gonna come off the board first.

491
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: What's your best draft pick overall compared to where you're

492
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna get one of those three guys. Who's your best

493
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: pick out of the Packers wide receiving corps. I love

494
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb this year. I love Cobb the earliest. James

495
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: Jones is never going to score todowns. I think Nelson

496
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: could turn into a bargain, you know, a pretty good bargain.

497
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: But I mean Nelson banged up most of last year. Uh.

498
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: If I can get him as my two in the

499
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: fifth round, I would say, probably we're going to go.

500
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: But I love Renal Cop. I think Renal Copy catch

501
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: ninety passes this year they're talking about for him. I

502
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: mean he's got major, major upside in that offense, and

503
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: he's a third year receiver. And we all know. Although

504
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: some people out there think the third year receiver thing

505
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: is kind of a myth, it doesn't happen more times

506
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: than now, but it does happen um and and it

507
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: happened last year with Mary's Thomas Uh. It seems it

508
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: seems like a sex receivers a longer time to adjust.

509
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: So I think Cobb is just an absolute. I think

510
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: he's a one. If I can get him as a

511
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: high end two, I'll be I'll be singing, I love it.

512
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: Early last year you got him. You got him last

513
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: year in a couple of leagues and you picked him up,

514
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: and I think you want You won the Experts League

515
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: with Cob right, Oh yeah, I think I did. That's right.

516
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: Two titles me up for the volleyball spike. I can't

517
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: help it. I was Ken Stephens and he was Yes,

518
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: I was c Thomas Hall from side out. You didn't

519
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: go top gun volleyball sing alright, because that's I have

520
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: a whole dissertation about the which time do we have?

521
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: I could really know? Okay, I'm getting waved up. Fine,

522
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: I don't have to bring it up. You can come

523
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: see me at Flappers at Burbank. The clouds mouth is blinking.

524
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: I will I will talk that. I will talk about

525
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: the volleyball scene at Flappers and Burbank on Thursday July.

526
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's twenty five. I do know

527
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: that it is thirty Show with James P. Connolly. Thanks

528
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: for your interest in that. And my point was Randall

529
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: Cop because he's one of these guys who started out

530
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: as a returner and it's just basically learning the receiver position.

531
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: And as weird as it is to think that the

532
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: Packers haven't had a receiver get a hundred reception and

533
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: close to twenty years, they're talking up Randall Cop like

534
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: he could be that guy this year. He's gonna take

535
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: that step. The third year. I think it's harder for

536
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: receivers to come into the NFL and adjust to the game.

537
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: So now he's gonna he's gonna take that extra step

538
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: this season. He's gonna be a huge I like Jordy

539
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: Nelson too, I think any I think any of the

540
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: Packers receivers when when push comes the shop, when you're

541
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: at the end of your draft, you're starting to fill

542
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: out your roster, you have your starters and everything. Yeah,

543
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: if I can take a guy who's catching passes from

544
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, I'll take him from some of the other

545
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: curtain jerkers in the league. I will take him over

546
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, any of the like card jobbers, mid card jobbers,

547
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: all those guys. So I guess my point is, i'll

548
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: sum this up randall cups gonna be very good. He

549
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: could have just said if I if I can get

550
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: him as my number three, I'll be very happy. It

551
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: would say, I don't think you'll get cop as a three.

552
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: I know I want, but I always love that you

553
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: do those qualifiers. Like if I could get him as

554
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: a four, like I would love that. Like, no, he's

555
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: a one. If I could get Mike Wallace after I

556
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: draft my kicker and defense, then I will draft Mike Wallace.

557
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: If I listen to play smarty Pants Smith. If I

558
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: could pick up Cam Newton off the waiver wire after

559
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: my draft, I'm gonna do it. I'll just sit here, listen.

560
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: I might be a bad person, but that's what I'll know.

561
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. All right. Wait, speaking of bad people,

562
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: when's the least time you did this? When's the least time.

563
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: Speaking of bad people, I don't rank everybody. When's the

564
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: last time you pick up a whole bunch of defenses

565
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 1: and dropped him because your opponent didn't have a defense

566
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: to play. I do that a lot much. It's strategy.

567
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: You should learn like by now that I'm gonna do

568
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: something mean like that. You can't. Don't play this game

569
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: with me. Don't play this Hey, it's Friday. I don't

570
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: have a kicker because I am going in and picking

571
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: up and dropping every kicker. All right, speaking at kickers,

572
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about Blair Walsh. I think really Okay, sorry,

573
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: you'd be great on the floor of Congress. Look, we

574
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: need we need to make sure this bill doesn't pass.

575
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: Just put what you're gonna talk about, it doesn't matter.

576
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: Just put them up there. Don't answer any questions. Just go.

577
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: But do you don't you think that losing your holder hurts?

578
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: If it's Tony Romo, then I don't. Oh sorry, is

579
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: that too soon? Fabry? That ball was slick? They did

580
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: something with that ball. Did you know? Have you ever

581
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: seen North Dallas forty? Speaking of North Dallas forty, we

582
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: presented the greatest football movies of all time on NFL

583
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: dot com. You can check that out at NFL dot

584
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: com slash best movie. You're supposed to talk about running

585
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: backs here at some point, No out of place to start.

586
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: Then with number one overall pick? Which is question I

587
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: get people ask me that all the time. I got

588
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. Obviously, it's a choice between

589
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: Arian Foster Adrian Peterson. Adrian Peterson matchup proof, but he's

590
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: got the second toughest schedule going to running backs. You

591
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: gonna take a little fp A that's on NFL dot

592
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: com plug You see that. You see Arian Foster has

593
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: the second easiest schedule when it comes to running backs. Fans,

594
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: how do you break it down? Number one overall? Foster Peterson.

595
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: I've gotten killed on on Twitter because I think Foster

596
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: is the better pick, and everyone is thinking about two

597
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve and Adrian Peterson. And I'll tell you

598
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: something right now, if I got Adrian Peterson on any

599
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: of my fantasy teams, I'm gonna be happy because the

600
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: guy's phenomenal. But he's not rushing for two thousand yards. Again,

601
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: look at the past. It doesn't happen. Barry Sanders, after

602
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: rushing for two thousand yards, had the most rushing yards

603
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: the next season, and it wasn't even fifteen hundreds. So

604
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: if we talk about Barry Sanders, who was arguably one

605
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: of the you know, the five greatest running backs of

606
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: all time, even he saw around a five hundred yard

607
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: decrease in rushing yards UM. And Peterson has never been

608
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: a guy who's gonna score two touchdowns. He's gonna give

609
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: you somewhere between twelve and fifteen, somewhere in that area.

610
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, over the last three years combined, has been

611
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: the best running back in fantasy football. Before two thousand

612
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: and twelve, Adrian Peterson's fantasy totals had dropped for three

613
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: straight years. And the schedule also is a factor there. Now,

614
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: if training camp opens and all of a sudden, the

615
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: Texans are like, yeah, Foster's calf injuries a little bit better,

616
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger than we thought, then Peterson is

617
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: gonna be one and Foster's dropping maybe down to two

618
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: or three UM. But all things being equal, I still

619
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: think Arian Foster is the better fantasy running back. It's

620
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: one and one A. It's one and one a UM.

621
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: But you have to be careful not to look back

622
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: at only last year and Baser rankings on that because

623
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: if that were if that were the case, well Tom

624
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: Brady would be a top three quarterback. But all of

625
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: his receiving options are basically gone or hurt, right, So

626
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: you gotta change things up a little bit, and you

627
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: gotta look at some trends. And that's why to me,

628
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: Foster is the number one guy. What did he do

629
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: last year that has dropped him so significantly under Adrian Peterson? Nothing?

630
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: He was great. He was third and fantasy points among

631
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: running backs and he was like a point behind Doug

632
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: Martin for two. So Adrian Peterson had the magical season.

633
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: Do you know, and this is a good tribute question

634
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: for you guys out there, how many teams? How many

635
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: teams did Adrian Peterson score more Fantasy points then based

636
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: on their running backs combined fantasy points? How many? Oh,

637
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: that's a lot. I'm gonna go a little bit lower.

638
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say fifteen. No, Adrian Peterson. And this is

639
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. I mean, really, Adrian Peterson scored more fantasy

640
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: points and all but seven teams last year, so four teams,

641
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: that's twenty four teams out there. He scored more fantasy

642
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: because he cannot score his own team. Can you can

643
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: you believe that that's gonna that's not gonna happen again.

644
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: This would have had I know, if I would have

645
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: thought to take out the vikings. You know, it's funny said,

646
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: but you talk about last year, and how many people

647
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: do you know that do drafts that just say when

648
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: it comes time to take a guy, they look at

649
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: the page that's up and they see, here's what he

650
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: did last year, and they say, well, that's what's because

651
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm gonna get. That's where people

652
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: is going to be overvalue this. That's why Eric Decker

653
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: is going to be overvalue this year. That's why I

654
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: like sitting in this seat because I would like to

655
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: be the number two guy in the draft, because I'll

656
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: just take whoever the top guy doesn't take and then

657
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: just be happy with it. I'd be happy with either one.

658
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: And I really think that, you know what, it's your

659
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: fantasy team. You know what, if you prefer one guy

660
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: or the other, you can make a case for either one.

661
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: It's not like you're making a ridiculous pick. It's not

662
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: like you're it's not like you're drafting the Chargers defense. First. Overall,

663
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna get nobody's gonna argue with that pick. You

664
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Thomas? Yeah, Jay Thomas, who was

665
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: on the Serious Celebrity League and uh he's Thomas from

666
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: Cheers like cast Like that's got to be who it is?

667
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: Is there another j Thomas? Saved my life? Yeah? I

668
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: knew him. I don't know. I I just don't know,

669
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: but I'm happy to be there in the number two spot.

670
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: I'll take whoever the first guy doesn't take, unless he

671
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: takes Aaron Rodgers and then I'll I don't know what

672
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: I would I would take Adrian Peterson. I just I

673
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I I play the fantasy game of what

674
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: you know. Honestly, I would really love to have McCoy

675
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: because I think with Chip Kelly's gonna be awesome. I

676
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: would love to have Jamal Trials, who with Andy Reid

677
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be awesome. But really he's not gonna get

678
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: the ball eight times a game. Well you know what

679
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: that said, misnomer. If you look at last year was

680
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: a tough year. You look back, Lesha McCoy had seventeen

681
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns in two thousand and eleven. I think that the

682
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: truth is somewhere in the middle of those two with

683
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: about ten to twelve touchdowns, and I think the same

684
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: will be true for Jamal Charles. So I would like

685
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: one of those guys, but I don't want to be

686
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: second guest because then if you've draft Adrian Peterson or

687
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, nobody's ever gonna look back and be like,

688
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: what were you thinking? Why would you make that pick?

689
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: But if you do something crazy where you take Jamal

690
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: Charles first overall, people like what were you thinking? Like

691
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: why would you do that? Like? And you know what,

692
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: And that's the way I like to play. I I

693
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: pull out the three one when I'm on the te

694
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: box and I'm just hitting it straight down the fairway

695
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try not to get into the rough

696
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: and I'll take either one of those guys and I'll

697
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: be happy with it. And if you're one of those

698
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: people who has the number one overall picked up, it's cool.

699

Speaker 1: I just want to look at pictures of Kate Upton.

Speaker 1: That's what he does. I guarantee he's got a Kate

Speaker 1: Upton browser. Where's it, Kate Upton? Where's Kada? She's not there?

716
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: Where Bella Twins right there? That's Bella Twins. Because I

717
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: wanted to see this thing that TNZ has with John Cenaarly,

718
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: you're a t MZ guy, listen. Did they have a

719
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: lot of, you know, stories on really good looking women?

720
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: Rison on hold William mcguinnis on TMZ like last week

721
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: because he's a neighbor of Justin Bieber and they saw

722
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: him like at a grocery store and he actually said

723
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: that he doesn't mind him. His daughter's loving and stuff.

724
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: It's a nice guy. Is any is any celebrity more

725
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: hated than Justin Bieber right now? It's not even close.

726
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Are you considered a celebrity? Then stop it? All right?

727
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: So let's get running back. Let's get to Trent Richardson.

728
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: He's someone I know you guys are high on him.

729
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: You're a little bit higher on him than I am.

730
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: Where does he go? Why don't you like him? I

731
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: like him if I but he plays in a really

732
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: tough division, like I'd like to get him, to get

733
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: him my number five are defense is tough, They'll be defense,

734
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: all right? Okay, yes, but he plays again against He

735
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: is now a chance to play against the Browns. The

736
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: Steelers defense was not that good against the run last year.

737
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: The Ravens defense was not that good against has had

738
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: an awesome year against this division when it was good.

739
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not as high. Well. Look, I think

740
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers bounce back this year. Look, they had a

741
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: bad year, Lester. They don't do that two years in

742
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: a row. I think the Ravens what they did they

743
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: got they got rid of some old guys, they got

744
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: younger guys coming in. You got to do that at

745
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: some point, you gotta get the younger legs in. But

746
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: the point is they play in a division where they're

747
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: gonna behind a lot, you know, because they're not a

748
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: good football where still ninth and Fantasy points, still ninth

749
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: in Fantasy point and ain't rush for a thousand yards.

750
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: But he missed the game, right, and he missed a game.

751
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: I would love to get him. If I could get

752
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: him in the second round. No, you have no chance.

753
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: Then if I could get him early in the second round,

754
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: I could get him. Pick up Trent Richardson on the

755
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: waiver wire. But I'm not. I'm not taking him with

756
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: my first. I'm not taking my first. I'm not I

757
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: love him. There's so many other guys I'd rather take

758
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: in the first round than him. I would take Calvin

759
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 1: Johnson to twelve depending on the league. Man, I would

760
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: take Calvin Johnson the twelve over Trent Richardson. I disagree,

761
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: you're just anti Calvin Johnson. No, not in the first round. Yeah,

762
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: if there's anybody who could take a step back, a

763
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: guy who's not going to replicate his numbers, it would

764
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: be Calvin Johnson. We said that last year when he

765
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: was on the cover of the mad and he got

766
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 1: Blue past the Madden curse and eventually will be correct.

767
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: You want a running back, you want Trent Richardson, You

768
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: want the Browns. I don't necessarily believe that they'll be

769
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: behind in a ton of games. They have Ray Horton

770
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: is their defensive coordinator. Now that defense is gonna better,

771
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna be trying to shorten games. They're not gonna

772
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 1: be relying on Brandon weed and to to win them games.

773
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: They'll be relying on Trent Richardson to win them games.

774
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: And plus North Turners the offensive coordinator. You look at

775
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: what what North Turner has been able to do as

776
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator through the years. Running backs have thrived

777
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: under him. And I look back at him at Smith,

778
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: and you look at that the jump Emmett Smith made

779
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: from his rookie season when he rushed for less than

780
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: a thousand yards to his second season when he rushed

781
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: for fifteen hundred yards close to fifteen touchdowns. He may

782
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: it a huge leap. Trent Richardson is gonna make a

783
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: similar leap that Brown's team is gonna be a lot better.

784
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna be playing in shorter ball games because they're

785
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: gonna be running the ball a lot. No running back.

786
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: It's as many opportunities as him. Trent Richardson is going

787
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: to be a huge Fantasy star list. Yeah, but also

788
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: you gotta worry. You were best health a little bit.

789
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 1: He missed the game last year. He's hurt coming into

790
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: camp this year a little bit that he's not. Yeah,

791
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: but is he Well, everybody's fine when you're not practicing

792
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: and there's no contact. I I just can't I disagree

793
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: with you. I can't worry. He was banged up last

794
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: year and he played through and he played well, and

795
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: he backs are gonna get hurt. I mean North Turner

796
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: has coached Emmett Smith, Ladanian, Tomlinson. He also coached Ricky Williams,

797
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, and Lamont Jordan's to their best fantasy seasons.

798
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: But he wasn't the offensive coordinator. Yeah, but you're telling

799
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: me a guy who was ninth overall and Fantasy points

800
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: running back last year is still a first round pick.

801
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: Because you guys like to draft, you devalue quarterbacks, and

802
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: I know that you guys weren't on draft running backs

803
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: all the way value. How there's more quarterbacks, you're right,

804
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: So the position is a little bit deeper. You're right,

805
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: the position is deeper. But the guys start to running backs.

806
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: You start just one quarterback, right, the guy who's ninth

807
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: overalls running back in fantasy points, it's going to be

808
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: available in the second round because you know why because

809
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: somebody in your draft, and you look, playing expert league

810
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: is different than right. But well, if you're playing with

811
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, curtain jerks in mid car jobbers, and maybe

812
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: Trent's gonna be available in the secon round, you you're

813
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: not right in big expert leagues. But how many leagues

814
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,959
Speaker 1: give me an give me an average league that people

815
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: have hold on? Drum Breeze is going in the first round. Now,

816
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: Roger is going to go in the first round. So

817
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a couple of quarterbacks like in there.

818
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: I drop into do a lot of mock drafts on

819
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. Slash Fantasy are mock drafts are open

820
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: right now where you can go out and try out

821
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: your new your your your strategy. And I find that

822
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson goes in the first round in the majority

823
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: of the mock drafts that I do. Does he go?

824
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: Where's he go in the first round? He goes at

825
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: the end of the thirst, he goes from pick five

826
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: through ten. And I only do ten team leagues. I

827
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: don't like playing. I try to keep it that way

828
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: so I can get a right now. Trent Richardson's average

829
00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: draft position is round one ninth go. I mean there's

830
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: a lot of buzz. I mean you, I understand there's

831
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: gonna be some leagues where perhaps he falls in the

832
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: second round, but not gonna see The enthusiasts are getting

833
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: more sophisticated as the years go on, and is because

834
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: as fantasy becomes a bigger deal, Trent Richardson is one

835
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: of those names because there's not a lot of number

836
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: one running backs and people are starting to recognize that,

837
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: Like because there are four second year starters who have

838
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: been added to the quarterback pool. And when I say

839
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: second year starters, I realized Colin Kaepernick is in his

840
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: third year, but he's just in his second year as

841
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: a starter. We added four guys to that pool last year,

842
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: to where guys where Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, Tony Romo

843
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: could be pushed out as qb ones. We don't have

844
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: that option. With running back. There not a lot of

845
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of great running backs. Trent Richardson

846
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: is very attractive because North Turner's there, because the Browns

847
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: will probably be improved, he's got to go in the

848
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: first round. I think in theory that sounds, that sounds,

849
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: that's correct. But in every league, you know, there's gonna

850
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: be guys that say, no matter what, I'm gonna take

851
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: Drew Brees because he's there. I'm gonna take Aaron Rodgers

852
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: because he's there. I think you're gonna see. And if

853
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: you take an average Fantasy league, even if three quarterbacks

854
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: will go in the first round, I would say, at

855
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: best two quarterbacks. I see Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees.

856
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't think unless somebody I still think one of

857
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: those Peyton, Manning or Breese, one of those two guys

858
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: will fall into the second round in most leagues, two

859
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks at most, even in the most I don't want

860
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: to say basic, but a novice casual fans there's a

861
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: couple of them. I just don't see it. I I

862
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: just the numbers. I'm just sending out that he's going

863
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: in the first I'm going you know, to other sites

864
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: and stuff to check out their ADP. Trent Richardson is

865
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: in the first round, all of them. Yeah, he's one

866
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: of those guys that everybody is talking about. Like, people

867
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: are very excited about Trent Richardson, especially now that he's

868
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: going into camp healthy. And I think a lot of people,

869
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: you know what, they might have been skeptic. If Trent

870
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: Richardson had started off training camp, not playing, not in action,

871
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: sitting on the sidelines, people have been like, well, red flag,

872
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. But now that he's coming in healthy,

873
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: I think people are very comfortable with them. All Right.

874
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: So there's Trent Richardson. Love get to some bust break out,

875
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: some sleepers and deep sleepers. Speaking about bust each you guys,

876
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: give me a big bust for this year running back.

877
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: I got a filly know who ranks is, but fabs,

878
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: who's your bust? Well? Can can I can? I use

879
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews? Maybe I will, Maybe I'll do the you know,

880
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: maybe I'll do the flip on Ryan Matthews, and I'll

881
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, I think Ryan Mouth is

882
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a bus this year after I thought he

883
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: was gonna be a breakout the last like two years,

884
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he becomes like the

885
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: best thing in the world. And I'm helping people out that,

886
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: uh you know what I mean. There's you want to

887
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: look at this rank there, and there's you know, Ben

888
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: Jarvis green Ellis. I think had had a really good

889
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: season in the second half in twelve and helped a

890
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: lot of Fantasy League leaguers get to the playoffs. But

891
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, you got Giovanni Bernard there now. So I

892
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: think he's a guy who you probably aren't going to

893
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: draft as highly he's He's no longer even an RB two.

894
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: I think he's more of a flex play um. The

895
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: one player that that I worry about, and I'm not

896
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: gonna say that he's gonna be a bust is offered

897
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: Morris Freddie Moore Russian Russian for six yards and your

898
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: first two seasons back to back, Boy, that's tough. And

899
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: you've always got the thread of Shanahan against Is he

900
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: your first run pick? It will probably be off for

901
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: the board late first round, early second round. Um. But

902
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna go on a limb and say that

903
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: one of the top running backs based on Fantasy points

904
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: last year is not going to get there again this year, UM,

905
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: I'd probably have to go with Alfred Morris. All right,

906
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: Freddy Morris, you're got well. I'm you know. That's the

907
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: thing because I went back and I looked at Terrell

908
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: Davis's numbers when he was in Denver and Mike Shanahan

909
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: was the coach, and Shanahan abused him like he his

910
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: attempts increased for four consecutive years, and that might look

911
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: you make you look at that train and say, you

912
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: know what, Mike Shannahan's gonna run him again. I I

913
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: think Mike Shanahan learned a lesson with Terrell Davis, and

914
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to repeat that mistake with Freddy Morris.

915
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to burn him out. The Redskins are

916
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: already trying to find third down running backs. They're gonna

917
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: try to find ways to not run him as much

918
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: because they don't want to burn him out. They're gonna

919
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,479
Speaker 1: start thinking a little bit more long term. I feel

920
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: that six yards is a little bit of a stretch

921
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: for him. I like him a lot. I would pick

922
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: him in the second round. I will not. I worry

923
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: about him more than I worry about Trent Richardson and

924
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: another guy too. He's not gonna be a bus. But

925
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: I've noticed that when I do mock drafts, which are

926
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: available in NFL dot Com right now, it's I really

927
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: find myself being scared off by Marshawn Lynch. And not

928
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: that he's not a first round running back, but I've

929
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: noticed that I will take Jamal Charles ahead of him.

930
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: I will take Lashawn McCoy ahead of him, which if

931
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: you look at average draft position, Marshawn Lynch is typically

932
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: going third. I've noticed that I'm not picking him in

933
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,439
Speaker 1: that third spot. I'm going somewhere else. So I don't

934
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: want to say that he's gonna be a bus, but

935
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: he's somebody. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's

936
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: too many years with Pete Carroll and he's kind of

937
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: jaded me towards the Seahawks because some some team is

938
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: falling off in the in the NFC West. It's just

939
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 1: it's just gonna happen. I mean, the St. Louis Football

940
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: Club is gonna be a little bit better. The Cardinals

941
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: are gonna be way better. One of those two teams

942
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: at the top are gonna fall off. And then I

943
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: look at the coaches and I have more confidence in

944
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: him hard bother that I do Pete Carroll. And so

945
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get a little bit worried about Marshawn Lynch.

946
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't know, and Seahawks fans, you can

947
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: beat me up on Twitter and everything like that. I'm

948
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: ready for it. But there's something about Marshawn Lynch. I

949
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: just said that there's nothing scientific other than just a feeling,

950
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: and I've just noticed subconsciously at first, and now I'm

951
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: like noticing, like I am not picking Marshawn Lynch when

952
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: I could, I will take Doug Martin, I'll take all

953
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: these guys. I would take Marshawn Lynch over Freddy Morris,

954
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: but even Trent Richardson I almost feel more comfortable with.

955
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: So you say, if you could get Marshawn Lynch is

956
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: a four as my flex starter, I'm in, alright, couple

957
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: of guys that I'm worried about, and I do fabs

958
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: to worry about him too. DeMarco Murray. Great guy and

959
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,959
Speaker 1: and he's someone that every year we think is gonna

960
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: take that next step and someone's gonna draft him in

961
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: the third round and think this is the eerie stays healthy,

962
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: all the weapons are there. But to me, I can't

963
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: draft He's almost undraftable for me because I look at

964
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: the situation with Joseph Randal and he's gonna come and

965
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones has already said he can see us situation

966
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: where they're splitting carries. Murray doesn't score touchdowns. I think

967
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: the shine is completely off and if you take him,

968
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 1: I think that that's I don't think it's completely often

969
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: because he is a really talented guy who has thousand

970
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: yard potential. But you're right, injuries are a concerned. I mean,

971
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: he's in the same category as Darren McFadden, same kind

972
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: of thing McFadden. And you know, I feel like I

973
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: say this every year, this could be the year that

974
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: he actually stays healthy. Well, chances are probably not gonna

975
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: stay healthy. He's never played more in thirteen games in

976
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: a single season in the National Football League. He's in

977
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: a contract year. The Raiders have gone to this power

978
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: running scheme now, which is gonna do a lot a

979
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: lot of good for McFadden. They have nothing else off

980
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 1: its style, but he's always been brittle. So do I

981
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: draft there McFadden, Do I avoid him not? I mean

982
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: I'd take him as it too if I could. Um,

983
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll get him as a flex. Potentially

984
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: maybe in some leagues he'll fall. There's some there's some

985
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: situations where noticed where if you're drafting at the if

986
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: you have the first overall pick and you can almost

987
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 1: get him as a swing there in the third fourth,

988
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: that part of the snake is where I find that

989
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: you can grab him. But I think that, um, you know,

990
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: there's there's so many running backs like that. This year

991
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: we talked about how running backs are going to be

992
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: the prominent position in the first round, and they should

993
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: be because as much upside players as there are in

994
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: the middle of that position, Um, those players also could

995
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: end up not panning out. Right. I love Chris Irey

996
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: this year may not paying out, maybe he will. Uh.

997
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: The same kind of thing with Lamar Miller. I love him,

998
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's gonna pan out. David Wilson, same thing.

999
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: I love the guy. He's in a good position to

1000
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: succeed doesn't mean he's going to pan out. Darren McFadden.

1001
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, we like his contract, your status, and the

1002
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: fact that he's gonna play in an offense that's gonna

1003
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: be more suitable to his his skill set doesn't mean

1004
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna pan out. So Frank Course thirty, you know

1005
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: he's been great for the last couple of years. Does

1006
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: he Does he stay the same? Stephen Jackson thirty. So

1007
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: that's why I think part of the reason is that

1008
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: you need to go running back early. But there's a

1009
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: lot of question marks going into the middle of that

1010
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: position and a lot of question marks. You know, a

1011
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: lot of potential, but a lot of potential for failure too.

1012
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's find out you find yourself drafting like

1013
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: Shane Vereen a lot earlier than you normally would, where

1014
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: you're like, you're looking it upside, You're like, you know what, Yeah,

1015
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: you know what if you have your first two running

1016
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: backs already squared away, and if you're lucky enough to

1017
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: let's say you get Trent Richardson, you come back in

1018
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: the second round and get like Steven Jackson, Matt Forte,

1019
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: somebody like that. You're like, cool, I'm set at running back.

1020
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: Then when you get in the middle rounds, you're like,

1021
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't be drafting Shane Vereen this early, but

1022
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't want him to fall. I'll take him. Leave

1023
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: me on belt. Guys like that, you're just like filling out,

1024
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: Like I'll fill up my proster with all those guys.

1025
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: But Richard Mendenhall as another guy that I know you

1026
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: need is one of those guys to come through. It

1027
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: says you draft four guys, It's like, look, if one

1028
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: of them comes through for me, one of them will,

1029
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: then I'll be fine. Like you know, look, I'm worried

1030
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,720
Speaker 1: about Stephen Ridley. He made this whole situation makes me nervous.

1031
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: The load up of the running backs can't hold onto

1032
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: the football, the bumbles, that's gonna be a big I

1033
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: mean that's suddenly. Is he gonna lose all the carries?

1034
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: And is it gonna be I'm done with you. That's

1035
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: my bus. If you look at the playoffs, he just

1036
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna that's gonna hold him back so much. And

1037
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: he ran out of gas. And that's the other thing too,

1038
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, maybe we ran him too much during

1039
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: the season, and so he's gonna get less carries. He's

1040
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: a guy I'm really worried about draft. Absolutely, I'd rather

1041
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: have Shane Vereen for value wise, Shane Verreen later than

1042
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: Ridley in the second round where people are drafting him.

1043
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: All right, so there's your sleeper. You just just did.

1044
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: You just did a busting a sleeper right there. Boom boom.

1045
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: That's the way I do it. You know that I

1046
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: do sleepers each and every week on NFL dot Com

1047
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: Ranks eleven. It's available every Wednesdays. And it's gonna be

1048
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be redesigned. It's gonna look good this year.

1049
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: It didn't look it's a fan. Now it's a fancy page.

1050
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: They made a special little page for it. Looks awesome.

1051
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, Shane Vereen my sleeper because they also have

1052
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: been using him as a little bit of a wide receiver.

1053
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard this, but the Patriots

1054
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: they've lost some of the receivers. You might not know.

1055
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: It's an und reported story like off track betting in

1056
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: the him alas sure nice and they are using him there.

1057
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 1: And you know, especially if you're gonna PPR league, which

1058
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: I am not, because I find that to be. I

1059
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: don't like those, Mike, but you are doing at you

1060
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: know what NFL dot com next week in our draft,

1061
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: I learned from the best A sleeper at what position? Running?

1062
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: What are we doing? We're talking get off the bella

1063
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: twins pass on there dot com slash fantasy sleeper kicker. Uh.

1064
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: I like the kid. I like the Randy Bullock kid

1065
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: from Houston. But but if we go yeah, well his

1066
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,959
Speaker 1: values back on the rise to Uh, Lamar Miller big

1067
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: time sleeper at the running back position. I mean, David

1068
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: Wilson's a potential sleeper at the running back position. You

1069
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of these guys again, a lot of

1070
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: guys with potential, but also with the potential fail. Miller

1071
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: best best schedule based on Fantasy points, uh from running

1072
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: backs last season. He's He's the guy. Frank Gore has

1073
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: worked out with him and said that he is the

1074
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 1: fastest guy to come out of you and he reminds

1075
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: him of Clinton Portis. I'm sold. I really like Lamar Miller.

1076
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: What's his position? Well, I'm gonna guess, and I'll take

1077
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: a look at this for you right now, but I'm

1078
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: gonna guess that his average opposition is probably somewhere in

1079
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: round six or so. I think that's gonna up that

1080
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna he's gonna go crazy once people start getting

1081
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: into their drafts, like somebody will draft him in the

1082
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: second round because we're gonna talk about him so much.

1083
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: Him and Chris Ivory are two guys that right now

1084
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: six round six pick overall. I guarantee to the beginning

1085
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: of it is the beginning of the sixth round. He's

1086
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: gonna fly off the board super early. Now, what about

1087
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 1: the rookies Monte Ball who I talked about on the

1088
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: NFL Total Access last night, Levi on Bell, These guys

1089
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: are sleepers too. I mean you can look at the

1090
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey, who is the who is the best that

1091
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: right now? Well, that's why I threw it out there,

1092
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: the best rookie, the best rookie running back that that

1093
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: you guys, because he's gonna get the opportunity because I

1094
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know that he's gonna get the

1095
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: opportunity in Denver because Ronnie Hillman still in the mix.

1096
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: They they throw excuse me, they throw the ball at time.

1097
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 1: They've got thirteen receivers they had to throw too. He's

1098
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,720
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys that he has to keep happy.

1099
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: He's got two tight ends. He's gonna throw too near

1100
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: the goal line. I think the Steelers they're gonna have

1101
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: to run the ball a lot this year. You know what.

1102
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to protect Ben Roethlisberger. Mike Wallace has gone.

1103
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: The offensive line should be a little bit improved because

1104
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 1: David DeCastro is not injured. So they're gonna go back

1105
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: to that power type running game. They the kind of

1106
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: offense that you're familiar with with from the Steelers. They're

1107
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball a lot, and Bell is gonna

1108
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: be able to do it. I mean he did it

1109
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: at Michigan State. I feel he's gonna have a huge year,

1110
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: and when you're looking at the rookies, he's my top guy.

1111
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: Although I do like Jonathan Franklin because I feel that

1112
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 1: he fits that Packers offense a lot better than Eddie Lacey.

1113
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 1: See I'm on the other side. I like Lacey because

1114
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: look at what they did last year when Shedrick Benson

1115
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: was healthy. He was a double digit point of game

1116
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: threat because he would rush for about fifty yards and

1117
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: he would most likely get you a touchdown. Lacy's gonna

1118
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: get those goal line carries unless he gets tackled at

1119
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 1: the one foot line and they give it to John

1120
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: Coon and he gets in the end zone. So I

1121
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: think Lacey has that fifty yards and a touchdown potential,

1122
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: which on the Packers offense is pretty good. You're talking

1123
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: about a rookie running back. If you ten or twelve

1124
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy points a week, I'll sign up for that. I

1125
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: mean they drafted him first. I think for a reason.

1126
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: You always look at where chalk is, and I think

1127
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: chalk sits with Eddie Lacey. You know what you just

1128
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: sold me on, Jonathan, Thank Franklin. I'm glad I could

1129
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: do something for you. So if I said, like Jonathan Franklin,

1130
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: you would say no, No No, I would go back and

1131
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: have to rethink my position. Wow, just to be anti me,

1132
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 1: you would have to go a little bit. Well, you're

1133
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: a Jets fan. I can't if the Jets fan somebody

1134
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: who's decided as a youth that the Jets were the

1135
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,959
Speaker 1: better option over the Giants, it just clouds my Jets.

1136
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: The Giants were awful when I was in the mid seventies,

1137
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 1: both teams were awful. The Giants, I mean they were.

1138
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: It was Joe Pisarchik was playing quarterback for the Giants.

1139
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,720
Speaker 1: Those were some poor teams, Miracle of the meadow Lands.

1140
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: It didn't get good till they drafted Lawrence Down. That's

1141
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: a good point, yeah, because they had the number two

1142
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: pick in the draft to be able to take them

1143
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 1: and take him in eighty two. Yeah, that's a good point.

1144
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: All al right, Well, at least you picked the Yankees

1145
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: over the match. I wish I'd picked the Yankees. I

1146
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: could have had such a great sports life. I could

1147
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: have gone Giants and Yankees and I'll be celebrating a

1148
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: title every couple of years. But no, I picked them.

1149
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,439
Speaker 1: That's in the Jets, and it's like twenty five years

1150
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: between glasses of water. It's oh my god. But at

1151
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: least we have Matt Harvey. So that's there. You go,

1152
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: you got something, all right? Let me turn to have

1153
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: something then absolutely nothing, which is pretty close to what

1154
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: you have in both of those teams. Wow. Really, wait

1155
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: all CC Savathew's contract gets another year, so down the

1156
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: road and you're going, we gotta get rid of this guy. Dude.

1157
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: Matt Harvey will probably be playing for the Yankees in

1158
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: a few years. I don't like that, true, but they haven't.

1159
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: They haven't signed anybody in the last few years that

1160
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: they've decided they won't because of the luxury taxing, and

1161
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: they won't until and then until fire. Oh god, let's

1162
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: not talk about him. Alright, Let's go breakout guy, give

1163
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: me a breakout running back. Come on, you can go, Chris,

1164
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: I do it. You know you want to, You know

1165
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: you want to Chris breakout. Breakout to me is a

1166
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: guy who has the potential to be top five in

1167
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: his position. I don't know if Chris Ivory is there,

1168
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: but I'll give you Chris Ivory because top ten potential

1169
00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: certcause it jets even Marshawn Lynch Sean Green this fifteen

1170
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: and the the Fantasy points last year. Among running backs. I

1171
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: think Chris Ivery's a heck of a lot more talented

1172
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: than Sean Green. Uh. And it's funny how they switched

1173
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: sort of roles. Where Ivy was a backup, Green was

1174
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: a starter, and now Green's gone. He's a backup in Tennessee.

1175
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 1: Now Ivory comes into New York and he's a starter.

1176
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: The one thing I worry about with Chris is that

1177
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: he's a little bit injury prone. He's had some mangled

1178
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: issues in the past, but if he stays healthy for

1179
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: sixteen games, he'll rush forwards and give you eight touchdowns.

1180
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: So I think Chris Ivory is a guy who can

1181
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: also catch the ball in the backfield a little bit.

1182
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, the Jets don't have much else.

1183
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: They don't they're gonna run the football. So I think

1184
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: Chris I's a guy. I think I can put Trent

1185
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: Richardson in the breakout category. He was ninth last year.

1186
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: I think you're taking my guy. Can you can you

1187
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: take a guy who was ninth op Now, look, let's

1188
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: take breakout to move improve four positions. Yes, I think

1189
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,479
Speaker 1: By Michael Fabiano stritching, I think so definition, let's talk.

1190
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little Ryan Matthews though, Oh I'm not

1191
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: gonna break out. He's like a be a top five guy,

1192
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: but breakdown guy ass he's been during his NFL career. However,

1193
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator in San Diego is Ken Wizzon Hunt.

1194
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: And if you look at Mike or excuse me, if

1195
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: you look at Wizzon Hunt's career as an offensive coordinator

1196
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh from two thousand three to two thousand six,

1197
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: Nobody ran the ball more than the Steelers under Ken

1198
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: Wizzon Hunt, and I feel that that's what they're gonna

1199
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: want to do this year again, going back trying to

1200
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: protect Philip Rivers a little bit, not wanting Philip Rivers

1201
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: to have to carry the team on his sidearms shoulder,

1202
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: and they're gonna they're gonna try to run the ball

1203
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,399
Speaker 1: with Ryan Matthews. Nobody runs the ball on first down

1204
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: more than Ken Wizzon Hunt did when he was with

1205
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I feel they're gonna give him every opportunity.

1206
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: They've already said that he's going to be the guy,

1207
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: and I've of course they got Danny Woodhead to be

1208
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: in there in third down, but you're getting a lot

1209
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: of third down backs now. There's not a lot of

1210
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: true number ones, which is why you draft Trent Richardson

1211
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: in the first round. So a guy like Ryan Matthews,

1212
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: his average draft position is the tenth round. You're in

1213
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: the tenth round. Your roster's fine, you've filled up all

1214
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: your starters. Take a chance on Ryan Matthews because you're

1215
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: not gonna get a lot of opportunities for running backs

1216
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: other places. I think he has some potential there. I'm

1217
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: not gonna guarantee you anything. You might end up cutting

1218
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: him midway through this season when he breaks his classical

1219
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: But for the drafts, for the tenth round, I feel

1220
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: that's a great spot for him. Let me play Devil's

1221
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: Advocate with you, just with the wizard on situation, because

1222
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: Shaun O'Hara is real hot on this. One of our

1223
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: analysts NFL Network. When a guy comes in and as

1224
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator, especially guy who's been a head coach,

1225
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 1: Ken Winson Hunt wants to get back to being a

1226
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: head coach. How do you do that? And the best

1227
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 1: way how do you raise your profile? You take somebody

1228
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: and you improve them, and you do it in the

1229
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: passing game. So he comes in, what do you think

1230
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: his number one priority is? I gotta get Philip Rivers going.

1231
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna throw the football a ton because number one

1232
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 1: will win games and number two if I get Philip

1233
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: Rivers going, I'm the guy who wound up getting Philip

1234
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 1: Rivers going. So teams are gonna say, well, you've done

1235
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: this and so now I'm gonna hire you as a

1236
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: head coach. The running game kind of falls by the

1237
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: wayside does. That's something that plays into you thinking about

1238
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: what you know. When guys come in with a different plan,

1239
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: philosophies still look back at what is what his history

1240
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: was running the listen, if he gets Ryan Matthews to

1241
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: rush for yards, I feel as more impressive than getting

1242
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers back. So just getting that charger's offense to

1243
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: be prolific again, however he does it is a huge thing.

1244
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 1: So again, it's a tenth round pick. I'm not gonna

1245
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: overthink it or anything and be worried that maybe Philip

1246
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: Rivers will throw the ball a little bit more than

1247
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: I had anticipated. It's still a tenth round pick, and

1248
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: you're still picking a guy who was a very high

1249
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: first round pick and a guy who a lot of

1250
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: people had been counting on to produce fantasy numbers in

1251
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,439
Speaker 1: the past, and the tenth rounds of perfect spot form.

1252
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 1: All right, it's the NFL Fantasy Live Podcast Jason Smith,

1253
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano and Adam Ranks. That's my final point is

1254
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna make me leave on Ryan Matthews. That's send off,

1255
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: give me a drop the mic moment. Then Trent Richardson

1256
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: will be a top three running back this year. And

1257
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: then and there goes the headset. That's how we do

1258
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: it in entertainment, as you drop the headset instead of

1259
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: the microphone. And he actually is walking out leaving, punching

1260
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: our producer in the face repeatedly because he threatened to

1261
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,479
Speaker 1: cut stuff out that he talked about during the show. Today.

1262
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: All right, next week, fast what we got? We got

1263
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers next week. Yeah, we're talking a wide receivers. Uh.

1264
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna be talking about Larry Fitzgerald and

1265
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. And of course the situation both Denver and

1266
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: New England with West Welkers changing teams uh and Danny

1267
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: Amndola joining the Patriots. A lot to talk about, a deposition,

1268
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: and it's a very deep position in a fantasy that

1269
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: will also have the results of our PPR draft that

1270
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:22,800
