21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: the television. Come on, it's the only affiliation. That's what

22
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: I thought, like I would send all the Fantasy Live

23
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: fans into a frenzy. I've removed all mention of Fantasy Lives.

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: You're doing You're doing a Julio Jones. Yeah, I removed

25
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: that all mentions. That's Is there any particular reason for

26
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: that or just you're just was promoting the show that

27
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: I care about. At least he's honest. I don't mean

28
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: that in a bad way, but at least here's the

29
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: thing that I would hope, and I would hope it

30
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: either Kyle Brandt or Peter or Steve Smith, someone like

31
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: one of those guys could actually challenge me in Fantasy Football,

32
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: so I could have a different belt to go out

33
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: and win. I see, how like I'm about ready to retire.

34
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: How many times have you won the fancy four out

35
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: of four, four out of eight, four eight? And it's

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: it's there's only been a handful of champions. It's only

37
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: it's only funny face Marcus. Is that? And I think

38
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: um and I can't remember who wasn't one of the

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: last shows of Fantasy Life. It was either Bar or fabs,

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: one of them saying I was possibly the greatest fantasy

41
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: football player of all time. I don't remember which one

42
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: of those guys said it. I'm relatively we can find

43
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: I can find you in the audio. I could find

44
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: you the audio. Pleased to do all of that. I

45
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: have it just just inkling that it may be somebody

46
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: affiliated with American Ninje Warriors. Okay, matt Iceman, right, I

47
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: think it was Matt Iceman. That's what that producer Christina

48
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: in the building. Hey listen, how are you doing? Good? Good? Good? Um?

49
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: We are going to effort MG Mike and Marcus Grass

50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: were efforting him. We're efforting him. He's in the Big

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: d he's in Dallas. He's there for the draft. We're

52
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna try to get him on the horn. We tried

53
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: to do it before this episode started, but apparently he

54
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: is in a Dallas wind tunnel. He's trying to find

55
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: a quiet place as the one John Krasinski and Emily

56
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: as we are going to safety, as we are going

57
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: through some of our rundown items. Uh, producer Christina, if

58
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: you would be also kind as to give him a

59
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: just just wave at me and we'll go to him.

60
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: As soon as we got I feel this is this

61
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: is like, this is like real life radio when they're

62
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: like we're efforting, somebody effort because a lot of people

63
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: will listen. I'm not calling out any other podcast like

64
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: the d d f P or anything like that, but

65
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: a lot of them will do interviews at the top

66
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: and then mix it in later like oh, this is

67
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: an organic Oh look who's calling. We do that all

68
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: the time all the time. You guys do that. You know,

69
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: that's how everybody because that's how it's it's so much

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: so it's not cool. Okay, I understand. Listen. My brand

71
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: is about truthful and honesty, and I want to let

72
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: people know what's happening when I I sometimes I pull

73
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: back the curtain a little. But how about if we're

74
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: truthful and honest and I tell people that that's what

75
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: we do, that's fine. Listeners out there, it's pretty I

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: just want you to know. It's like when you watch

77
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: raw and there's a backstage interview and people think like

78
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot happening live. They take that at three

79
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, stop it. But in respect to them

80
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: because they know to pause for It's funny when you

81
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: sometimes see them pause for an applause that I think

82
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. They want that pop and there's no pause. Yeah. No,

83
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: fans are just like whatever you usually like the Green

84
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: Bay crowd or something. Wow. No, I don't mean that

85
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: in a bad one, but much like out of Nowhere.

86
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: That's no Green Bay and they're notorious for having some

87
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: of the worst wrestling crowd's. I think that's inaccurate. Oh

88
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: my gosh, I think that we're having a great show

89
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: in front of us here. It's the NFL dot Com

90
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: Roster Reset series, but we're putting a little fantasy spin

91
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: on it. We're talking about a f C South in

92
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: today's episode, gonna be talking about I allowed to say

93
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: that you were besmirching the name of the a f

94
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: C South before we started recording? Or do we not

95
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: admit that? Are you gonna? Are you gonna come on love?

96
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, why no, I I look, I don't love

97
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: the a f C South. What do you want me

98
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: to say? What do you want me to say? It's

99
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: it's teams in transition. I'm not a big fan of

100
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: watching the Jaguars. You realize that they could probably have

101
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: I okay, the Texans. We're gonna get to the NFC.

102
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the roster reset. It's the a

103
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: f C South. It's the Colts, the Texas, the Jags,

104
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: the Titans. For the record, for the record. On the

105
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: WWE subreddit, there is somebody that said I saw on

106
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: a thread for tonight's raw that people said it was

107
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: going to be a bad crowd was expected because it

108
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: was in Green Bay, and people chime in on it.

109
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: So Adam Rank was not just taking a shot at

110
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: Wisconsin since he's wearing a bear's hat. He was it's

111
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: I know, people, that's my favorite, my favorite. First of all,

112
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: as a bald American, you're being very disrespectful. My my,

113
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: my dome, My exposed dome is more. It's never exposed.

114
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: You always have a beanie or cap on. I know,

115
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: because it's cold. There's air conditioning to keep everybody else,

116
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: you know, comfortable. Okay, great, but it makes me chilli.

117
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: Adam Ranks first return, We've gone on like four tangents

118
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: in the first ten minutes right show in front of

00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: happy to have you on. It's a total change of

121
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: uh it's like, you know what it's like eating at

122
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,640

132
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: him about a few different things. That's why I just

133
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: want to get a little flavor of what Dallas is

134
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: like right now. Yeah, he's like, he's like boots on

153
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's still fairly early. I would imagine

154
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna start seeing a lot more folks filing into

155
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: town tonight. Uh and kind of you know, kind of

156
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: getting their bearings. But um, you do get a sense

157
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: that people are starting to clue into what's happening into

158
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: the draft here now. Mind you you know, from where

159
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: we're staying in downtown Dallas, it's a legitimate thirty minute ride,

160
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: thirty minute like uber ride out to the stadium. Um,

161
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: but this place is huge. I mean it is as

162
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: big as they say it is. Literally, I've walked around

163
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: the entire stadium and I think I've got my steps

164
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: into the day, Like I can tap out at this point. Um,

165
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: but you know, I just uh, I just came from

166
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: a place sixty event. So a lot of the a

167
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: lot of the prospects were out there kind of coaching

168
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: up the kids and hanging out and did a little

169
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Q and A afterwards, So I got to to to

170
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: chat with you know, Lamar Jackson, Sam Donald, uh, Josh Allen,

171
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: those kind of guys. So it's it's been interesting so far.

172
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to what's gonna happen the next few days.

173
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned some of the big names there in the

174
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: in the draft. Were you impressed or or maybe disappointed

175
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: by any of the prospects that you met. No, not

176
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: not so far, you know, and you're kind of getting

177
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to them after the play event.

178
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: Was it was nice because they all have very much

179
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. It It was a chance to not only go

180
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: out and play football, to interact with the kids. Um.

181
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: You know, obviously they have to answer a lot of

182
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: draft questions. Where do you think you're gonna go, how

183
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna react, that sort of thing. But but everybody

184
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: seemed relaxed. Everybody's seem just kind of ready for what's

185
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: going to happen tomorrow. And I think you kind of

186
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: get the sense that they're sort of glad to be

187
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: at the end of this road. I mean, Draft season

188
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: has been ruling for everybody, but you do just get

189
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: the feeling that now they're they're ready for this part

190
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: of it to be over and for the next part

191
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: of their lives to begin. All right, there you go, Marcus,

192
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: When is your first piece going to come out? That

193
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: you're writing on the thing in Dallas and where once

194
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: you people expect to find that. Hopefully something will come

195
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: out as we talk on Wednesday. Hopefully Wednesday afternoon should

196
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: be something up. I'm just kind of I'm here, I'm

197
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: experiencing kind of the local flavor. I had a Camel

198
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: Burger on Tuesday night when I got into town. It

199
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: was fantastic. Right, When is the next chance I'm gonna

200
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: have to have camel? Maybe never, so I had to

201
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: take advantage of that. But you're gonna be called from

202
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: Peter soon. So but yeah, just like I said, I'm

203
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: just kind of walking around soaking up the color. I've

204
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: just walked inside of of a T and C stadium

205
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: for the first time, so I'm just kind of, you know,

206
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: getting my fill of that and seeing what there is

207
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: to see. I at the Outback in downtown Dallas. Popping

208
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: Off's been throwing some serious shade at Dallas, trying to

209
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: get you unbelievable. Wait, hold on, what's it? Way like that?

210
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: Like Houston has character, it is a fun place in Dallas.

211
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: I didn't get that impression. I see. I don't mean

212
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: that in a bad way though. Something said about a

213
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: city that's Steve uh work at the outback. Didn't he

214
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: have that hundred grand? No, it was some other place.

215
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: I forget what it was. I thought it was. It

216
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: was not the outback because a different type of stakes.

217
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: I believe. I believe that's what it was. I love it. Um, Hey, listen,

218
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: I know you've been doing a lot of research and

219
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: homework on the draft, on the upcoming draft, can you

220
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: give me a couple of prospects, um that I don't

221
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: know that you've watched a little bit on and and

222
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: with the eye towards fantasy. Uh. Kind of excited about.

223
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: And obviously they're gonna be team dependent, but just a

224
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: couple of different guys that maybe, um that from a

225
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, folks might start to get a little bit

226
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: excited about. Um. I mean, you know, I know I'm

227
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna get a homer a homer call here. But I

228
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: do like Ronald Jones. I mean, I still think. I

229
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: still think he is a He's a multitalented guy. He

230
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: can catch the ball. Well, it wasn't necessarily what they

231
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: asked a lot of him at USC, but when giving

232
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity, I think he succeeded at that. He's you know,

233
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: but we can dispense with the Jamal Charles comparison because

234
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: that's not accurate from Texas. They wore the same number

235
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: and they both have dreads Like that's pretty much where

236
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: these similarities ends. Um. But I do think he's he

237
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: has a lot of ability, and I think for what

238
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: not only his NFL draft asking price is going to be,

239
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: but I think for what his fantasy draft price is

240
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: going to be. Uh, potentially, I think he's the guy

241
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: who can slide in and do a whole lot of things.

242
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: Another guy that I really like and I think state. Um,

243
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, he he's not getting nearly as as a

244
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: lot of the other running back to this class. But

245
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the guy who put up incredible

246
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: numbers with the aspects, and I think that's going to

247
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: translate over to the NFL as well. Yeah, man, I

248
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: really really like Rashaw Penny, especially at the next level. UM.

249
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: All right, last question for you, and we'll let you

250
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: get you on your way here. But um, of course,

251
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: anyone who is from California or from Texas and you

252
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: get that, crosso Have you had a water Burger yet?

253
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Not on this trip. I have had a water Burger

254
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: in the past. Its met my first storround in Dallas. Um,

255
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: and I will say it is spectacularly met I And

256
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: I know, I know that's what Texas people feel about

257
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: in and out, but I will take in and out

258
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: any day of the weekend twice on. Something is not

259
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: here to unjustly slander in and out. I love it.

260
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant live from Dallas, the Big d. He's going

261
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: to be at the draft. Look for his future columns

262
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: to come out very very shortly. MG. My god, Marcus Grant.

Speaker 1: your first exciting exciting times? Well I missed you know.

271
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: I thought we would have gone old school with me

272
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: coming back. But whatever, old school with the old drops.

273

Speaker 1: I like the news, I know, but those have been

274
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,880

Speaker 1: the drops. The old suits had to calm down. And

277
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: just like when they when they made you like take

278
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,680

282
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,400

283
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: my god. Turned out Actually that one actually turned out.

284
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: That's Legitiah. That one turned out. Every other one was bad.

285
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: Not great. No, it was bad, very bad. Anyway, we'll

286
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: do our own thing. Yeah, Mike Williams, Mike Williams, we're

287
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: talking about the Chargers. Mike Williams. As his back is

288
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: fully healed, he feels Remember he was he suffered that

289
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: hernie at a disc in his back in training camp

290
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: last year, his rookie year. Look, he was basically a

291
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: wash man. He was trying to fight through that injury.

292
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: It didn't work. He was, though, a dynamic playmaker out

293
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: of Clims. Remember he was a first round draft pick,

294
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: was he not? He was six three to ten. We're

295
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: talking about a big boy, Philip Rivers slinging him the rock.

296
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: How are we feeling about him in year number two?

297
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: Adam Wick, I'm very encouraged. I think that with the

298
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: offense that they they like to run there in Los Angeles,

299
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: we're going to see them throw the ball because they

300
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: tried it last year. I think that they that only

301
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: Lynn wanted to run the ball as much as possible,

302
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: and then he realized that Melvin Gordon was his running

303
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: back and says, well that's not gonna be possible, So

304
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: let's He's fine. Listen, he's somebody who he you know what,

305
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is like a better version of Danny Woodhead,

306
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: and that's the way that they should use him. He

307
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: catches the ball great out of the backfield when you

308
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: get him into space. He does a lot of things

309
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: really well. But to use him as a a old

310
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: school type of rambling running running between the tackles, it's

311
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: just not gonna work. And it's fine, Like he can

312
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: still be productive, and I'll continue to defame him and

313
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: then he'll allow there and put up huge fantasy points.

314
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: You can all make fun of me. It's something that

315
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: I do for all of you. It has been a

316
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: bit for what always put the dislike in the dislike

317
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: column in your weekly service. There's nothing I'll never change

318
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: that like. There's still like I don't like to be

319
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: like traditional sportswriter person, but there is a part of

320
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: my DNA that is that way, which means that I

321
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: have to double down on my bad takes over and

322
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: over and over ever and that possibly I was wrong,

323
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: And I don't think that I was wrong, because I

324
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: still think I'm The thing is is that they turned

325
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: the team over to Philip Rivers, which is what they

326
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: should have done all along and not coincidentally, they started

327
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: winning a lot of games when they put the ball

328
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: into Philip Rivers hands and especially just let him throw

329
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: the ball. And it's strange when you you you let

330
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: the let the team kind of ride on the back

331
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: of your best player. I know that sounds like a

332
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: very it's a very hot, takish type, you know, attitude,

333
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, it's it's strange how that

334
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: worked out. Yeah, and it's a it's a high scoring offense.

335
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: They're in a division right now that you're gonna go

336
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: out and score a lot of points. Um and him

337
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: playing opposite of Keenan Allen. I think it's great. I

338
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: like that match. It's gonna be Situationally, it's not gonna

339
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be somebody that you start each and

340
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: every week. But he's definitely something. Especially when you start

341
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: getting into the later rounds of the draft, you see

342
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: familiar names who you know are gonna just be like math,

343
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: like the the what a Burger of NFL receivers, Like

344
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: why don't you take a chance on Mike Williams comes

345
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: with this amazing pic. I'm I'm not really that excited,

346
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: simply for a fantasy perspective, just because my question is

347
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: where the target's gonna come from. Keenan Allen's gonna get

348
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: north of thirty. Melvin Gordon had eighty last year. He's

349
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: probably gonna still get a bunch Tyrelle Williams. You mentioned

350
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: they resigned him, They've got Travis Benjamin. He's gonna get

351
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: a few looks to take the lid off the top.

352
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: But the bigger problem is Hunter Henry is probably gonna

353
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: have a much more expanded role this year now that

354
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates has gone. He could push for close to

355
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: a hundred targets, so like maybe in shootouts, Like you said,

356
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: ranks situationally, and he's probably certainly worth a flyer if

357
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: anything were to happen to Keenan Allen, to which we

358
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: never want, but he's had a history with injuries. Williams

359
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: would be a great guy to have, you know, stashed

360
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: away on the bench. But as far as like an

361
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: upside late round pick, there's probably guys in in less

362
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: concentrated offenses. I'd rather take a shot at. I hear

363
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 1: what both of you guys are saying. I'm leaning a

364
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm kind of in between because I'm leaning

365
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more towards Adam rank Side, mostly because

366
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: maybe the talent emerges and maybe Philip Rivers really starts

367
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: to to force feed him some balls, because Philip Rivers

368
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: has been known to do that on occasion. So if

369
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: that were to be the case, if his talent really

370
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 1: shines through, it's at least possible that Philip Rivers, like, yes,

371
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: screw and I'm giving this guy the rock. I mean,

372
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: but I hear what you're saying with Hunter Henry because uh,

373
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: he was a dynamic playmaker as well, and they they

374
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: absolutely need to get him the ball. Melvin Gordon's gonna

375
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: get his requisite looks in the passing game as well.

376
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: Austin Neckler is gonna get a few handful of targets

377
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: as well, uh, in the passing game, and all those

378
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: different guys that you mentioned. But you know, it does

379
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: make me start to wander. Philip Rivers might be one

380
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: of my you know, preferred late round quarterbacks if I'm

381
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: going to go that way. He has been for me

382
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: for a few years. There you go, the last I mean,

383
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: the last four years he's thrown or the last five years.

384
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: He's at thirty three and twenty interceptions. All of those years.

385
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: His lowest yardage output was just shy of forty yards interceptions,

386
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: and a few of those years have been u rough.

387
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: He had eighteen sixteen. But I do like the fact

388
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: they added Mike Pouncey on that offensive line well, a

389
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: very very good player on the old line there. So, um, yeah,

390
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: it starts to getting me thinking about Philip Rivers late.

391
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: And boy, that's um that's an intriguing division for Philip

392
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: Rivers to be playing in as well. All right, after

393
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of rumors, the Ravens declined to sign Dez Bryant,

394
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: instead signing Willie Sneed to a two year, seven million

395
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: dollar contract. I think he could get up to near

396
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars with incentives, but regardless of the Saints

397
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to match, they declined to do so.

398
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: So Baltimore's revamped wide receiver Cord Now, I think it

399
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: could be interesting. They've got Michael Crabtree, they've got Willie Snead,

400
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: they've got John Brown. Seemingly, they've got guys at Phil Rolls,

401
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree, and uh, you know, run those deep to

402
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: mostly intermediate routes. Willie Sneed underneath and John Brown trying

403
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: to take the lid off the top of the defense.

404
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: So what don't we think about Baltimore's revamped wide receiver corps. Well,

405
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: it's the I laughed because then I saw that they

406
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: were getting sneeed. I was like, oh man, they've they've

407
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 1: accumulated like the reception perception retreads because these were all

408
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: guys that Harmond loved. And then sure enough, like twenty

409
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: minutes later, Harmon had tweeted the same thing. Uh, And

410
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: it made me chuckle. But I think you're right. I

411
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: think it's it's it's definitely needed. This is a better

412
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: situation than what Baltimore had last year. And as you said,

413
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: all these guys fit different roles. Really, Sneed can play

414
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: well in the slot, that's where he's thrived. Crabtreet can

415
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: kind of be their number one, be the main possession guy.

416
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: And Brown also is a good intermediate route runner, but

417
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: has that speed if he's healthy to to blow the

418
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: top off. I mean, I'm not super interested in any

419
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: in any of these guys from Fantasy, maybe except Crabtree,

420
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: because they're also still relying on Joe Flacco aging bad

421
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: back like to feed them the rock, but it is

422
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: certainly a step up in general from what they had

423
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: last year and might be some guys to throw darts

424
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: at late. I wonder if it if it almost feeds

425
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: into their running game, because you know, the one thing

426
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: a hardball has done pretty well there is manufacturer one game,

427
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: even with less than stellar talent. I wonder if at

428
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: least the scoring potential for the Ravens overall goes up. Uh.

429
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: This could be a situation where touchdowns at least become

430
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: more available for the Baltimore running backs until they draft

431
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst or Mike Jessiki or somebody to play tight end,

432
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: because it seems that Joe Flacco loves the target. The

433
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: tight end loves it no matter who it is. Ah,

434
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: this is one of those situations that I'm very interested

435
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: to see play out in real life. It seems like

436
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: they've done a really nice job in bringing in a

437
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: veteran receiving corps who's actually got some upside. I love

438
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: John Brown. I like I'll always be carrying the flag

439
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: for him and always think that he's he's on the verd.

440
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: This is it. He's breaking through this year. Baby. It's

441
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: like when every time that DC puts out a movie.

442
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm in lango like, this is gonna be the one.

443
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you Parker that picked up his fifth year option,

444
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the year. This is gonna be

445
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: the one. So I'm very excited about it football wise,

446
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: lukewarm about it fantasy wise. But as we start getting

447
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: into predictions of teams that could be a surprise this year,

448
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are gonna be one real life wise,

449
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: somebody who's obviously a team to keep an eye in.

450
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, All right, let's go circle back.

451
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: So again, Baltimore had some interest in Dez Bryant, which

452
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: I thought would have been I think an interesting pairing

453
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: to have Dez and Michael Crabtree on the outsides and

454
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, where do you match up? But again Baltimore

455
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: decided to pass on that. They go with Willie Sneed.

456
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: So let's circle back to Dez Bryant. Where where do

457
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: we think? And again, obviously he his whole situation won't

458
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: be resolved after the draft, which is happening old by

459
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: the way, tomorrow, we're taping right now here on a Wednesday.

460
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: But can you believe they drafted that guy, depending on

461
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: when you're exactly when are you listening to this thing? No,

462
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: but but Dez Bryant though, again, I think he's still's

463
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: got a little bit of juice left. He's not that

464
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: you know again, he's not gonna be thrown up the

465
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: x as as you're outside number one, go to you

466
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: got a double team that wider. He's not that dude.

467
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: That's fine. Well, I guess you know again, where would

468
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: we kind of sort of like to see des Briant

469
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: go now that we know that Baltimore is off the table? Uh,

470
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: some places that I think he would make sense for

471
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: real football and fantasy are. The Colts are one that

472
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: I think could use a receiver like him right now.

473
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: Their depth chart on offense is pretty barren right now.

474
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: They definitely need a running back. We don't know how

475
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: Andrew luck is gonna feel. They have t Y Hilton,

476
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: They've got good tight end depth in Jack Doyle and

477
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: Eric Ebrown who they picked up in free agency, but

478
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: they could use a guy like Dez who can use

479
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: his big body when and contested catches, be a red

480
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: zone threat, you know, be what they wanted Dante Mohncrief

481
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: to be. Albeit a much like less explosively as sick

482
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: version now, but they have a dire need and and

483
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: he could he could fit in well there or perhaps

484
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't like I kind of philosophically, I kind of

485
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: like him going to Indianapolis as well, mostly because I

486
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: think he brings a little fire, a little edge to

487
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: a unit that desperately needs it. I mean, they don't

488
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: really got a guy that you know, that wants to

489
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: set the world on fire, you know what I mean.

490
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: So I think that I think that's that's an interesting fit.

491
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: And another team that could use some receiver help, although

492
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: he'd be a little more duplicated. There is the Bills,

493
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: because they've got Calvin Benjamin coming off an injury. They've

494
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: got z Jones. You know, he's had a troubling offseason

495
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: and he had a very frustrating work year. But like

496
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: they could use a cemit somewhat reliable guy that even

497
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: for the young quarterback. If it's not you know, Des

498
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: isn't wide open, or the quarterbacks in trouble, you just

499
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: throw it at Des and because Hope probably can make

500
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: it in all right, So there you go. And it

501
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: all depends on who, I mean, depending on when you're

502
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna be listening to this. A lot of teams will

503
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: have addressed addressed some of those needs through the draft.

504
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: The Colts certainly are somebody that I see in the

505
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: second round starting to jump in on some of those

506
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: second day talent type of players who who should possibly

507
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: be available. Um, I hope that Dan Kirk or somebody

508
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: like that. I actually hope they don't because I actually

509
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: hope they build up from the ground up. You know

510
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. They need to build in the trenches,

511
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: their old line at the one or just another interesting idea,

512
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 1: maybe forty got Pierre Garson, great route runner, you got

513
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: Goodwin with the speed, Taylor in the slot, just add

514
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: Das is like a nice red zone weapon, do you know?

515
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: Don't put you don't have to put too much pressure

516
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: on him as the number one because as we've talked about,

517
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: what about the Patriots about it, as we've talked about

518
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: announcing here, I don't think Dez is that true number

519
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: one ride to see her anymore, even though that term

520
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: in general is kind of a misnomer. What about Denver?

521
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: What if they decided that after the draft they're gonna

522
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: get rid of Manny Sanders, and they had the Marius

523
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: Thomas and Daz just trying to get something to happen.

524
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: Try to help those guys, especially if they don't go

525
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: quarterback and decide, like, you know what we need to

526
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: win right now. Des Bryant seems like one of those

527
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: one year option guys would be like, hey, let's let's

528
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: go for it. Let's let's try to do something here. Um,

529
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just spitballing here. I have no idea

530
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: about salary cap. But I actually wouldn't mind seeing him

531
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Really yeah, I mean I know that he'd

532
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: be the tertiary guy, Antonio Brown, that Juju Smith. They

533
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: still have Bryant there, Martip I okay, right, I mean

534
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not I'm not a Martevis guy. Right,

535
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: So it's like, all right, whatever, I don't know. Cincinnati, Cincinnati,

536
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: I could I could see that a little bit gray

537
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: and him and us healthy. Maybe John Rossell play John

538
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: Rolls exists as a human. I don't know. All right,

539
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: we'll stay in the in the NFC East, which was,

540
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: of course, does Bryant's longtime home Giants running back Paul

541
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: Perkins as a pectoral injury severity unknown, but he wants

542
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: spotted with his left arm in a sling during minicamp.

543
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman Jonathan Stewart not very impressive either White, but

544
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: they were alternating starter reps. If that means anything, it

545
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: probably won't because it seems like all signs are pointing

546
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: to the Giants taking se Kwon Barkley, which for the record,

547
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: I still think is a mistake. But they're running back.

548
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: Step chart is a disaster and they need that help.

549
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: But it seems like the Giants would benefit. And I

550
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: know it's not. Um it doesn't have the splash on

551
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: draft night if you drafted Quentin Nelson, like your fan

552
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: base who That's what I was about, Sam Donald. That's like,

553
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: take Quentin Nelson, did he put him with Dates Solder? Okay?

554
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: And then in the second round you have the Jamal

555
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: Charles clone. I'm and I know you guys are funny.

556
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: Ron Jones talks about how I love being compared to Jamal.

557
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: Of course, that's like saying the gun Bucks didn't pattern

558
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: their game after you know, attitude here at w w E.

559
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: They're not the exact same guy, you know, but they're

560
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: still trying to you know, But but it's not even

561
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: a close spect. Simply, it's just so ridiculous, Like he's

562
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: a better receiver, I think, and Jamal Charles was a

563
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: good receiver, and Charles, Yeah, Ron Jones catches the ball

564
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: really well. Yeah, Okay, and see better receiver than Jamal Charles.

565
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: That's that's that's what he was about being cold in here,

566
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: Jamal Great, he's a he's a he was a good receiver.

567
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: But you understand that he was playing for Andy Reid

568
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: been ahead of the curve for quite some time as

569
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: a coach who understands that running backs catching the ball

570
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: out of the backfield don't have to do anything dump

571
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: off as a panic dump off like I need to

572
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: get rid of the ball, but as an actually designed

573
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: watched a lot of red offenses that does the work

574
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: that helped him. Okay, Ron Jones did not have that

575
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: benefit at USC. And I think when he gets into

576
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, he excusing damage, he's gonna he's gonna have

577
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: a breakout Alvin Camara or Kareem Hime. I'm glad you

578
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: mentioned that because that is the the the more I

579
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: guess Newish take on Rod Joe is that he's he

580
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: could be like an Alvin Camara, which it's possible, It's

581
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: it's certainly possible. I don't know what the talent is there,

582
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: but his college situation didn't lend itself to massive statistics.

583
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: And then when he gets on a good NFL offense,

584
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: he goes crazy kind of situation. I mean, it's a

585
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: little bit different because when Camaro was in college, he

586
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: did not play for a good team. He was electric

587
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: when he got on the field, but he's never touched

588
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: the all and he wasn't on the field that often.

589
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: But the bottom line was, I mean, Rojoe played for

590
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: a great team. No, he didn't stop it. Usc. USC

591
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: wasn't great. Last They're awful offensive line and they're they're

592
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: okay wide receivers. This season. Why this season? Yes, without

593
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, without Ron Jones, You'll see what a Chad

594
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: Helton coach Clayton Clay Helton coach team is all. They're

595
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: five and six. They were buoyed by a couple of superstars.

596
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: They were not struggling. But I mean, like, look at

597
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: the talent level that's surrounding him. But I get that

598
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: the coaching is not The coaching is not great. I'm

599
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: not here to talk about the coaching, but I am

600
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: here to say that. Look, they've got five star recruits

601
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: at every position at USC, so like you can say

602
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: that they didn't perform or what bottom line is? Man,

603
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 1: He's surrounded by great collegiate You would you have like

604
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of Lamborghinis and you put beach cruiser tires

605
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: on there instead of actual rates, and that's not going

606
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: to be as high performance as they would normally be.

607
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: All right, So watch watch, watch, That's that's one of

608
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: my daughter's favorite words. Watch watch, watch and look. And

609
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't mean to to dump on ro. I like

610
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, but I mean it's silly to compare him.

611
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: I think to Jamal Charles, I don't see that at all.

612
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: He embrace. He wants to be compared. Why would you

613
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: not want to be but I mean breaking news, young

614
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: player wants to be compared to all time grades. It's like,

615
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I'm like Jim Brown. No,

616
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: you're not bro alright now you're being Now Now I've

617
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: gone too far. And ron Jones is closer to Jamal

618
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: Charles than what a burger is being a good hamburger

619
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: or And I don't even know what that means. Andrew

620
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: Luck is at Indianapolis. Uh there, mini camp, but he

621
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: is not throwing water continues to be went. Is the

622
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: sky still blue? The sky is still blue? True, Luck

623
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: is still not throwing shocking no one? All right? NFL

624
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: dot Com The Roster Reset series. Speaking of Andrew Luck,

625
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the a f C South and will

626
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: start with the Colts, who last year went four in twelve.

627
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: Theoretically they get Andrew Luck back. Theoretically, Uh they do.

628
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: This is not theoretical. They do have a new head

629
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: coach in the offensive minded Frank Reich, who helped Philly

630
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl last year as their offensive coordinator.

631
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a big step up from Chuck Pagana.

632
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: What are we laughing about here now? Just want to

633
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: get it up in Daily Deaths. I'm sorry, I just

634
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: came across the timeline. It's very funny. I'll bring it

635
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: up in Daily death What a tease? What a tease?

636
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: I like it? Uh. Look, they added Eric Ebraun, as

637
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: Alex mentioned at tight End, it models up your Jack

638
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: Doyle shares. They added Ryan Granted wide receiver whatever that means.

639
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: They lost Dante Moncrief to Jacksonville. Frank Gore is gone lost.

640
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief They yes, I mean he did leave, but

641
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: he left hadn't made much of an impact prior of leavings,

642
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,959
Speaker 1: the Ageless wonder, the inconvenient truth. Frank Gore, he is

643
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: no longer a cult Who is the running back they're

644
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll address, is actually in the draft? They

645
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: have to, I would imagine, I would imagine, But what

646
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: about Josh Ferguson? What about him? What he's there? Okay,

647
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: he's their tap shot right now? Is running back? Is

648
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack? Robert Turban, Matt Franchise, his favorite, Kristen Michael,

649
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Kristen Michael, he lives, Matt Jones and Josh Ferguson. Matt

650
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: Jones with the Colts. Yeah, he was, yes, from Washington.

651
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: He the guy with the fumble itis. He was basically

652
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: a healthy scratch for most of the season. He was

653
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: always on the know. I mean, a lot of a

654
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: lot of folks are are actually reasonably excited about Marlon Mack,

655
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: who was a tremendous athlete. He's a good athlete, coming

656
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: out very fast. So I don't know, we'll see, he'll

657
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: be in the mix somewhere. He'll be in the mix somewhere.

658
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: I feel he's much better as like a just change pace,

659
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: change of pace. Hope he got ten to fifteen touches

660
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: a game kind of guy Max. They need somebody that

661
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: can actually get into Marlon Max not great running between

662
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: the tackles, but he would always try to bounce everything outside.

663
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: Last year and when he could get that edge, exciting

664
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: things happen. But other times it was a lot of

665
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: what do we call it years ago the Stark score,

666
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: where like James how many yards you actually ran versus

667
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: how many you gain? Uh, because Stark's one game had

668
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: like forty four yards ran for one yard game. Uh,

669
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: that's been That was Marlon Mack last year. Maybe he

670
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: maybe he turns it around this year. You know, he's

671
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: got another get another year of experience. But I would

672
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: expect them to address this position. They got a bunch

673
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: of second round pick were excited about. Frank Reich has

674
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: a new head coach. I think this is a great move. Yes,

675
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: I think by having um, by having Josh McDaniels bounce,

676
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: I agree. You know what I'm saying, Like there a

677
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: better off with Frank. It's it's like being at the

678
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: bar at one in the morning and your friend comes

679
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: up and he's like, dude, we're doing tequila shots and

680
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: you're like, oh boy, where's this headed? And then he leaves.

681
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't buy him who We avoided a situation there

682
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: because that could have ugly. That's the way the cult

683
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: should feel right now. By getting a better coach, like

684
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: from a better system. We've seen Lush McDaniels act. I've

685
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: seen enough former Patriots flameouts. Bill Brian notwithstanding, we'll talk

686
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: about him and just a little bit as we break

687
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: down break down the a f C South. But I

688
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: think that that was a great sat I don't know

689
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: why you wouldn't have wanted Frank Reich in the first place.

690
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,959
Speaker 1: I don't know either. I like it, I like to move,

691
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: I like it a lot. Um, let's talk about the

692
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: Texans shown we talked about Bill a Bright four and twelve.

693
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: Wait real quick, I was gonna say, um, the when

694
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: rank would Rich Rank was with the Eagles. They still

695
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: ran a fair amount of two tight end sets because

696
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: they had good depth behind zach Ertz with Trey Burton

697
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: and Brent Like so, I don't think the air Key

698
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: Brown thing necessarily destroys Jack Doyle's potential. I think, do

699
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: you want either one of those guests? Not a not

700
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: a ton. But if I'm not taking a tight end

701
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: or you're streaming like you know, they're certainly gonna be

702
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: guys that I think are going to wait and see approach.

703
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: You're going to be fantasy relevant. You're just not going

704
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: to sink like a twelve round pick into him. I'm

705
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: just sad because I think Jack Doyle is no you

706
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: love Jack do fantastic player. He's very good. I think

707
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: he's a fantastic player. Abron is probably not going to

708
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: play sixteen games. I don't know. I think that. I

709
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: think they were chasing upside with Ibron, Like, yeah, talent,

710
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: he's a huge body. He hasn't quite put it all

711
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: together on the field for a whole season yet, and

712
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: if they can get him, great, and I don't think

713
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: he was gonna look and I and I understand he

714
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: wasn't in a you know, tight end friendly system there

715
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: in Detroit, so you know, as you mentioned, you know

716
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: they run a lot of two tight ends. Was having

717
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: two tight ends in the field was the I think,

718
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: what is it? They're one personnel? I think two tight ends,

719
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: one running back unless I'm doing a backwards or twelve.

720
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 1: But that was the second most used for formation of

721
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles under Frank Craig. Oh yeah, that's after three

722
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers one running back. But it's a good value.

723
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: It's like being in Ross and you see a shirt

724
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: that you probably normally wouldn't purchase, but it's on sale

725
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: for five bucks. Ogay whatever. By the way, if um,

726
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't who, I don't know who the I'm not

727
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: a big schedule guy, but who the Colts play in

728
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: week one? Because I'll tell you what if if Jacoby

729
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: Brissette is the guy, um, and it's a favorable matchup,

730
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: that's at least something that you want to at least

731
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: keep in mind. It looks like Bengals, Sign me up.

732
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: It's not bad, and I think they're at home. Sign up.

733
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty nice. Actually, that's nice game against the

734
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: Bengals to start the season. There. I love it. Texas

735
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: four and twelve last year, the biggest edition the health

736
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: of DeShawn Watson. What could have been? What could have been?

737
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: With that was so exciting just to just to go

738
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: back in time a little bit. Do you remember because

739
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: we were all in the newsroom. Rank were you in

740
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: the I think you were too. Actually, we were all

741
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: in the news room when that news broke that Shawn Watson.

742
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: Do you not remember how this what happened to us?

743
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: Because in the League of leagues completed the deal that

744
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: is right, Russell Wilson from the guy who also had

745
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson, DeShawn Watson, and then he agreed to it,

746
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: and it was it was done. It was done, and

747
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: then we let him. He's like, hey, guys, do you

748
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: mind because we let him back? Yeah, yeah, we're human beings.

749
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: We still we still won that leap. Yeah, I know

750
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: somebody who was done that. It was a Thursday at

751
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: like two or three in the afternoon, and it came out.

752
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: Everybody was just like, I think it was a Wednesday,

753
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: which was even worse. It was the first day back

754
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: at practice. Yeah it was Wednesday. I thought it was

755
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: Thursday right before. Yeah, I thought, I feel like it

756
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: was that late. But it's it's so strange because you know,

757
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: injuries happened in the NFL all the time, but Deshaun

758
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: Watson was so dynamic, so fun to watch that when

759
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: he got injured towards a c L there was an

760
00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: audible groan in the NFL media newsroom, and I don't remember.

761
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: I've been here four seasons now, I don't really remember

762
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: that happening to any other player before, because normally when

763
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: a guy gets injured, it's more of like, Okay, well,

764
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: how are we going to cover this? You know, we

765
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: we have talking points cued up or whatever might be.

766
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: But this one was like the energy, the life of

767
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: the entire newsroom just dropped. He was just the type

768
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: of player the NFL needed because there were so many

769
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: big injuries to big players, like a scent came O'Dell Watt, Rodgers,

770
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: David Johnson, all these guys were down. There was all

771
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: the stuff with the anthem protest, and then DeShawn Watson

772
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: just comes in blows the doors off of all of that.

773
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: Like he went into Foxborough in his second start and

774
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: damn near beat the Patriots about the Son first so fun,

775
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: We're like, man, we'll see if he's for real real

776
00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: fuller and we're like, it's that game forty one to

777
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 1: thirty eight. It was sort of the best games. Last

778
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: year was back and forth, and then I always just

779
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: started had to pick six early as well. They did like,

780
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: see this is why, this is why started Washington season.

781
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: Do you remember all that handwringing over whether to start

782
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: him at Seattle and then four touchdowns on benched him

783
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: because you felt like you we're going to have him

784
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: for a full year. Yeah, I'll just take the middle

785
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 1: it my way. I know we're not actually talking about

786
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: this year, but just quick trip down memory lane. He

787
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: threw for four hundred and two yards four touchdowns against Seattle.

788
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: I think he had the one interception, maybe two. He

789
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: might have thrown one leg again and rushed for sixty

790
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: seven yards too. Amazing. Nuke went for two four that's right.

791
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: He was doing the whole Samurai thing on the sideline.

792
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It was awesome. What a game. That

793
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: was a game. It was maybe the best game of

794
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: the year. Again, they were four and twelve. Of course,

795
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson did get hurt in that season, so

796
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: four in twelve. Last year again Deshaun Watson being healthy.

797
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: They added athletic, big body wide receiver Sammy Coats. He

798
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: can't catch, but whatever, um they the big signing other

799
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: than you know, all this the health stuff, and then

800
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: it really signed too many folks here, but Tyrone, Matthew,

801
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: Honey Badger going along there with that, Houston defense could

802
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: be very dynamic. J J. Watt also returning from injury

803
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: to Dave and Clowney there as well, the uh the

804
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: offense or excuse me, the defensive line with the addition

805
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: of Tyrone made it's very exciting from a fantasy perspective.

806
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: I tell you what, Houston will be one of those teams.

807
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be the Rams and the Vikings

808
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: of course, will be the first two defenses off the board.

809
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what Houston's defense from a fantasy

810
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: perspective could be very very interesting as well. But let's

811
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: let's let's go back we we. We heaped all this

812
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: praise onto Deshaun Watson and a lot of folks are

813
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: still I think in my personal slow on the uptake

814
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson. In terms of ranking Deshaun Watson, I

815
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: have him as a top five quarterback and I don't

816
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: think I don't I think that's a conservative. I think

817
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: that's conservative to have Deshaun Watson as my top five.

818
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: In the top five in terms of quarterbacks, Adam Rank,

819
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: I'd love to know and Alex galehar I'd love to

820
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: know where you guys have Deshaun Watson in your quarterback

821
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: breaking It's just off the top of your head right now.

822
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: I will tell you in just a second when I pull,

823
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: I have I could have it down. I just need

824
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: to pull. I should look where I oh, yeah, number one.

825
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: There you go, the first one. And I think, uh,

826
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: I know that Brad Evans is also have him at

827
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: number one because we're bsp so uh and when I

828
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: know this, we we we saw each other at the

829
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl, so we we got excited talking about this

830
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: like I'll put him to I'll put him on full.

831
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: But and this is can I say something about Deshaun

832
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: Watson if I if I might, I know a lot

833
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: of people love to do the group. Think of all

834
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: I who never took a quarterback crew. I can find

835
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: a quarter you know what, guess what, pal, I can

836
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: find a running back late. I can find a wide

837
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: receiver late. I can find any position late late. As

838
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: long as you know what you're doing, I'm not worried

839
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: about like I'm not drafting this position early because that

840
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: kind of thinking, to me is a little bit foolhardy.

841
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you also need to know who you're drafting

842
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: with and all that, and that's been It's gonna be avail,

843
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: that's been my biggest point. But again, and if you

844
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: have him, like if you took him in the second round,

845
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that that is outlandish number one, because

846
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: think of how many leagues you were in last year

847
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: where you had where you had Deshaun Watson, and you

848
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: look back and you're like, would I have won this

849
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: league if I still had DeShawn Watson, the NFL Fantasy

850
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: Live League, m j D had him, m j D

851
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: would have won Russia League. He would have crushed with

852
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson. He is a huge difference maker. And because

853
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: that you're locked into this like well, I don't want

854
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: to take a quarterback in the first round or the

855
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: second round or anything like that, you're gonna end up

856
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: handicapping yourself and you're gonna be streaming quarterbacks and you're

857
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 1: gonna be like, well, I hope, I hope Joe Flacco

858
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: in Week sixteen, you can get me to the title,

859
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: while this fool across from me is drafting and playing

860
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. I under I understand where everybody's coming from.

861
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: And if you play in one of those archaic UH

862
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: four two leagues, which are ridiculous, and then you shouldn't

863
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: even be listening to a fantasy pod because you don't

864
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: even deserve. You don't deserve for those that might wait

865
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 1: real quick, aside for those that might not understand the lingo.

866
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: Four two is standards going four points for passing touchdown

867
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: to for negative for interception. James last year is trying

868
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: to push the fantasy community in the right direction. Six

869
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: points for passing touchdown for interception. When I was back

870
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: on Wisconsin, was planting the seeds in the with my

871
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: League of record. The members that I saw, I was

872
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: throwing it out there, we'll say they're intrigued. I think

873
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of spicy, like six four is the new standard.

874
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: Six points for a touchdown pass you know, for for

875
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: an interception is what changes the game. Of course it does,

876
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: because like it puts your mediocre quarterbacks. And that's the

877
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: way it should be, because you want to make fantasy

878
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: at least a little a little similar to real actual

879
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: NFL to where you're not gonna win if you don't

880
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: have a good quarterback. That's the which it should and

881
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: It's funny because now nowadays, with four to just your

882
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: standard scoring quarterback options, you could you you basically have

883
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: to run your your franchise like the Cleveland Browns just

884
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: rotated quarterbacks every other way. It doesn't matter. We got

885
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 1: twenty quarterbacks per per season. Who cares whatever, It doesn't matter.

886
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: As long as I get all my other positions covered,

887
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm good. And I just think that's that's outrageously anybody, Matt,

888
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: shut up. I don't want to hear that. I mean,

889
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: if you're playing like the quarterbacks I have won, leads

890
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: within the past that have been standard scoring are laughable sometimes.

891
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: That's why I feel like that should move into the

892
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: modern an era of fantasy football and make it like

893
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. I don't mind having a

894
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: little degree of difficulty in fantasy league. I don't. I

895
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: don't like I our spots because wot's in the game. Yes,

896
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: so are punters. You know what, there's we we do

897
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: get rid of some things. It's like, I like to

898
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: have some difficult decisions to have to make and when

899
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 1: you have and last year we're playing in a six

900
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: pour league where I played a lot of leagues like that,

901
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: when you look at Deshaun Watson making his first start

902
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: in Seattle against the defensive I've been playing very well,

903
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: very well at home. Like you, you have to make

904
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: decisions like that. But if you're in an autopilot for

905
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: two league where a running quarterback is far and away,

906
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: like Tim Tebow was one of the best quarterbacks ever

907
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: because it was running ability, you have to neutralize that,

908
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: especially because if you wait, you wait running quarterbacks way

909
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: too much. Like have to be don't be afraid to

910
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: play in a league where you have to make a decision.

911
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 1: You see him bring a soapbox in here because he's

912
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: on it. And if you're too scared to take a quarterback,

913
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating take who's good, take a quarterback. I'm saying,

914
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: take DeShawn Watson in the second round, and it's for

915
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: all those people would be like, are you also sure

916
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: you took a kicker and shut up? I paid off

917
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: a bet one time and I took Oskowski in the

918
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: probably still won the league. That it doesn't mess about it?

919
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: Do you know what you're doing? You shouldn't be afraid

920
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: to read for a quarterback a little early, or read

921
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: for your your player I'm glad. I'm glad I am

922
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: in a similar wait, Alex, did we get a quarterback

923
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: ranking for Deshaun Watson for you? I know we did not,

924
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: because Frank went on his huge soapbox to where I

925
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: haven't it and enjoyed it. I enjoyed it, but we

926
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: got off the rails there a little bit. I'm just

927
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: gonna give my whole quarterback ranks for context and break

928
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: them down into the kind of the tears I have

929
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: him in. Still have Rogers at number one, just because

930
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: that's fair healthy. If he plays sixteen games, odds are

931
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: he's going to finish number one, one or two, and

932
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: then I have in a tier two by himself, Russell Wilson,

933
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: and end in my next year it's and there's not

934
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: much separates this this year from the next one where

935
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: Watson is. It's uh uh, Newton, Wentz and Brady. I

936
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 1: have them in my rankings all clumped together, and then

937
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: like ten picks later is Watson and right behind him

938
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: his cousins. So Watson is six. Watson is six just

939
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: because of I probably have him higher if he wasn't

940
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: coming off a late season a c L tear, like

941
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks can come back from it pretty healthy and stuff

942
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: like that. But we haven't seen him yet. I want to.

943
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: I just want to get some you know, I want

944
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: to get some visual confirmation before I slide him up.

945
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: What why I wouldn't take him in the second round.

946
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: It's just because, like, especially with Cousins going to Minnesota

947
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: now like we've got he's in a great spot for

948
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 1: fantasy and to annoy the hell out of my packers

949
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: for the next three years. You know, there are a

950
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: lot of There are a lot of even if you're

951
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: playing in a six four I think there's seven or

952
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 1: eight guys that you could get and feel good about

953
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: in a in a competitive quarterback league. I think the

954
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: thing I love about six four two is is guys

955
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: like her Cousins actually have more valley because they don't

956
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: tear the ball over right, What I mean, his like

957
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns yards and like eight interceptions is dynamite. Give

958
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: me the league, give me that. There you go, um again,

959
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars right here. Sorry. I wanted to throw

960
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: something out for the Titans because our Texans, because we

961
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 1: got off on that massive tangent. But fantasy wise, like, uh,

962
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: they'll probably take a running back in this draft because

963
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: Danta Foreman has been reported he he might sore as

964
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,439
Speaker 1: achilles late late might start on the pup. The PU

965
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: piece would mean he would miss the first six weeks.

966
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: There's no smar Miller is a little older. He was

967
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 1: much more effective with Deshaun Watson in the lineup Fantasy wise,

968
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: he was. He was scoring almost five ppr point more

969
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: points per game with DeShawn just shy of fifteen, and

970
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: he was scoring just shive ten when Deshaun Watson did

971
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: not play. So that's a huge bump. But uh, he's

972
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: also old, he's got some wear and tear on the tires.

973
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: Hasn't quite been the huge signing they wanted, and I

974
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised honestly if they you might try and

975
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: caught him, Like, I don't know what the cap situation is.

976
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: I could look that up here, but wouldn't be surprised

977
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: to see the Texans take a running back in one

978
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: of those I mean, they don't have a ton of

979
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: picks from the Deshaun Watson trade, but get one of

980
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: those guys from this deep class who could be a

981
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: difference maker in fantasy as well. Two million dollar dead cap.

982
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: They would save about four million if they cut him,

983
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: which is that's he's definitely if they drafted a running back,

984
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: he's definitely going to be cut, I would say. I

985
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: would say, I mean, they make him just because they

986
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: don't have a ton of depth. It's it's him Foreman,

987
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: and I don't think they have Alfred Blue anymore. I

988
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,439
Speaker 1: was just looking at their roster to the day Freddie Blue. Oh,

989
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: and Troy Maine Pope is the other running back they

990
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: have on the roster currently. So I don't know that

991
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: he'll get cut, but his value will certainly take a

992
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: hit if they get a running back reasonably high. So

993
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: there you go. Let's go to the Jags, shann we

994
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 1: we go to Dubo. Alan Robinson gone, Alan Hearn's gone,

995
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: so the Alan brothers are gone. But they signed Dante Moncrief.

996
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: It's a pretty big deal, a one year, ten million

997
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 1: dollar deal. They also resigned Marquise Lee to a four year,

998
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: thirty eight million dollar deal eighteen million guarantee. I don't

999
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: understand why you would make those deals and not just

1000
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 1: resigned Allen Robinson, but okay, whatever. H They also signed

1001
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: offensive lineman Andrew Norwell, who many folks have said it

1002
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: was the best offensive line UH lineman available in free

1003
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: agency this off season. Okay, so um that will help

1004
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: of course the run game, which obviously they want to

1005
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: keep that train, that Leonard Fournett train rolling right along.

1006
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: We go to the maestro of duval, We go to

1007
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: Adam Rank. Yes, sir, h what do you think of

1008
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: all the signings fantasy perspective wise, what do we think

1009
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: of you know, the wide receivers and Leonard four Nett

1010
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: and all that. This is tough because I think that

1011
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: in any other situation, if Alan Robinson had left the

1012
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: Jags for any other team other than the Bears, I

1013
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: would have been very upset with that with that happening.

1014
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: But you know what, UM, I do kind of like

1015
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: their mindset. I think that they've shown their hand that

1016
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna let Leonard Fournette just run the ball, and

1017
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to run the ball as much as

1018
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 1: possible and play old school football because it was a

1019
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: formula that worked for them, that should have gotten them

1020
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. If I mean, everybody else could

1021
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: see that Miles Jack was not down and that should

1022
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown, and they should have been in

1023
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,439
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl playing that the Philadelphia Eagles, and who knows,

1024
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: we might have been having a Super Bowl celebration in

1025
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: Duval County. But anyways, good congratulations and Eagles. But I

1026
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: do like I do. I like the development of what

1027
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: they had with Marquise Lee. I thought that Bortles showed.

1028
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Bortles is as a lightning rod

1029
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: for jokes and everybody wants to make fun of him,

1030
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: but he was able to get his team and played

1031
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: well enough. I think he found himself and found a

1032
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: good role in a good rhythm in the second half

1033
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: of last season. I think he was still in the

1034
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: first half unsure about the offense, unsure about what his

1035
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: role might be. I think he took a really big

1036
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: back seat in the first half. In the second half,

1037
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: I think we saw him take a stuff over and

1038
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: I really was encouraged by what he did in the

1039
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: play off when we saw him tucking the ball and

1040
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: running it like running it effectively. Great wrinkle to his

1041
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: game if he can kind of build on that, And

1042
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: he showed last year that he didn't need one of

1043
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: those elite receivers. I mean, it was normally if you

1044
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: lose a player like Allan Robinson. You would say, well,

1045
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna take a hit in production, but

1046
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: he was already productive without him for pretty much the

1047
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: entire year last season, So I dig it. I I like,

1048
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: I've liked Donte Moncree for quite some time as well.

1049
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 1: He was great athlete, just need him to stay healthy

1050
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: and put it together on the field. So that was

1051
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: a nice edition for them. Yeah, I think that's a

1052
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 1: good low risk move. I know that the money seems

1053
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: like a lot, but you're like, got like a one year,

1054
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: eight million deal last year. In makes sense. It's just

1055
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: the market wide receivers. I think Lee has some interesting

1056
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: value and later in trafts because people are gonna be

1057
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: l O L. Bartles and stuff, but especially in PPR leagues.

1058
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a stretch We're in seven of

1059
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: eight games he had four plus catches and forty five

1060
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: plus yards with three touchdowns in there. Most of them

1061
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: were most of his lines are five for eighty three,

1062
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: eight for seventy five, six for fifty five, seven for

1063
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: eighty six. Like if you're talking to wide receiver three

1064
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 1: flex and in a bigger PPR league, that's not bad

1065
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: production to U. To look at, and then you know

1066
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: who I'm really intrigued by Fantasy wise in this office though,

1067
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: Actually t J yelled in, because they got rid of

1068
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory. No, no no, no, here's here's why. Here's why

1069
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 1: I'm what I'm talking like, fourteenth round pick. They got

1070
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: rid of Chris Ivory. They want Leonard Fournette to be

1071
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: the man. He's a bruise, he's a bruising style, has

1072
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: a history of lower leg injuries and stuff like that.

1073
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: Yelled in. There were several games where he was actually

1074
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: kind of like sneakily fantasy relevant. He they used him

1075
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: catching the ball out of the backfield. Obviously they're not

1076
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: going to challenge Deep a lot. They use a lot

1077
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: of play action boot option things. Yeldon's in the mix.

1078
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: So if we're looking at like a later round best

1079
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: ball you know format on on draft or MFL ten's

1080
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 1: right now, or even somebody where you've got your roster

1081
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: filled out, you've got your studs, and you're like, you

1082
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: know what, it's the fourteenth round. I'm just gonna scoop up.

1083
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 1: Yelled in. Scooping like one of those type of backup

1084
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: guys where if something breaks the right way, he's like

1085
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: instant feature back right now their wide receiver corps going

1086
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: back to their water receiver. It's it's interesting to me.

1087
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,919
Speaker 1: You know it's Marquise Ley, Dante mont creefy would think

1088
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: would be the starters there. But you know, depth wise,

1089
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: man Keelan Cole did Westbrook West. Uh. They also signed

1090
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: another um, a big body, good athlete at Arizona State

1091
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: and didn't flamed out with Houston, Jalen Strong because another Uh.

1092
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: You were a big Jen Strong fan back in the day,

1093
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: weren't you. Yeah. He he made such a great move

1094
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: on a last second desperation. He even that's all he does, see,

1095
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: that's all it was hail Mary's he like he's the

1096
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 1: king of it. The USC defenders were just standing there

1097
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: waiting and then here comes It's like you thank you

1098
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: and then bouncing to the end. Yeah. But no, I

1099
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: mean at the very least hem I mean, I don't

1100
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,240
Speaker 1: even know if he makes the final you know, final

1101
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: roster talk about this time of the season, big body

1102
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: water receiver, you never know anyways, whatever, that's the Jaguars, alright,

1103
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, the last team him here we're gonna

1104
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: be talking about in the A f C Sound. They

1105
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 1: went nine and seven last year. They've got a brand

1106
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: new head coach, Mike Rabel. Team moved on from to

1107
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: Marco Murray. We got excited about Derrick Henry for about

1108
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: three seconds before they went and signed Dion Lewis to

1109
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: a big deal. I don't think there's any other major

1110
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: offensive pieces they added in the office. They did not

1111
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: they lost Eric Decker. Well, what I like hiring Lafleur

1112
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:30,280
Speaker 1: is me. I love that move, you know, because Rabel

1113
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: is the first time coach. We really don't know what

1114
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna bring. Obviously, he was a defensive flair coming

1115
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: from the He's yeah, he's a disciple of the Patriots system.

1116
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: But I would normally be concerned about something like that

1117
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: because he didn't really strike me. He wasn't a forgive

1118
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: me if he wasn't a long time coordinator or what

1119
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: his position was with the Texans. He just kind of

1120
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: emerged and you're like, oh, Rabel a guy who vultured

1121
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns and now all of a sudden

1122
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: he's a head coach. I don't understand what's going on here.

1123
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: And I was worried that the Tennessee type and we're

1124
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: gonna go back to similar the same kind of mode

1125
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: they were rounded bound and whatever they were going to do,

1126
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: whatever they tried to do with the former regime, Like, oh, no,

1127
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 1: is this gonna be more of the same. They're trying

1128
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: to bring in this guy who's not gonna have any

1129
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: idea what he's doing. But they went out to the

1130
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: not if they're not the best offense last year, it

1131
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: was one of the most prolific, And obviously they went

1132
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: after Matt Lafleur, who was coordinator with the Rams but

1133
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: certainly wasn't calling the plays. And Sean McVeigh could have

1134
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: easily blocked this move, but he let him go and grow.

1135
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna get a chance to call plays and

1136
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: this such inexperience though, that's what I'm kind of worried about.

1137
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: You know what, there was a lot of inexperience last

1138
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: year with Sean McVeigh taken over as the head coach

1139
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: of the Rams, and it's we're looking at the NFL

1140
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: now taking chances on player or on coaches. You know,

1141
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: Matt Naggy is gonna get an opportunity to run an

1142
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: NFL team for the first time, and you see Frank

1143
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: Wright getting his chance we talked about earlier, and I

1144
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: think having Matt laf come in it it gives me

1145
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: that the the the the the safety, the reassurance, the

1146
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: peace of mind. They're gonna run a two eighteen offense.

1147
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: They're not going to try to recreate something. And obviously

1148
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: Jacksonville has had success with it. But now you have

1149
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: somebody who has some innovative ideas. And I think if

1150
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: there's somebody who can get but do you know that

1151
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: he has those ideas and and and other one and

1152
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: the other thing is can can he install those ideas?

1153
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing. So I don't go'll

1154
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: be given the opportunity, and that's what I like. We listen,

1155
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: we're speculating right now. Yes, I I cannot tell you

1156
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: one that he's going to come out and be a success,

1157
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: but I have a little bit more faith in the

1158
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: Titans now than I did last year under Malarkey. I

1159
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: also worry, too, where when you get a guy like that,

1160
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: if you're saying he's got he's going to be innovative,

1161
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: how will that mesh with what Mike Vrabel wants to

1162
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: get done on offense? Because he is the head coach,

1163
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: but he wants to get that stuff done, or else

1164
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: he would have just hired a yes man, somebody who

1165
00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: would have just first stamped. He's to me, it's as

1166
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: like he's taking a position of like I need you

1167
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: to run the offense for me, and I'm gonna do that.

1168
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the defense and it's not going to

1169
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: be a complete split like it is with McVeigh and

1170
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips. But he he could have easily taken You mean,

1171
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: we're not gonna see Rabel sitting on coolers like working

1172
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: on his defensive adjustments when the floor is running the

1173
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: offense and might know my favorite was like the defense

1174
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 1: would be on the field, and mcpays like, I could

1175
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: not care. This is a field. I mean sitting on

1176
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: a cooler and making notes and adjustments. I love it.

1177
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: But I mean he could have done something uninspired and

1178
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: brought in Mike Schuler or somebody like that, and that

1179
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: would have been like red flag, do not want? Do

1180
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: not want? Oh, you're bringing in a young guy who

1181
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: is going to call the game like he's playing Madden.

1182
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm interested in all that, and they're gonna

1183
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: be great values because nobody's gonna want Derrick Henry for

1184
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: the reason you mentioned le Lewis, people won't draft Corey Davis,

1185
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: uh Rochard Matthews will continue to be a PPR maven

1186
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: even though people will not give him the benefit of

1187
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: the doubt. And everybody is so strong by Marcus Mariota

1188
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: last year that that's probably gonna be my backup quarterback

1189
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Tonishaun Watson of course, but of course, but of course

1190
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: that is the a f C South. We'll trying to

1191
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: get through most of the roster recent series here in

1192
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: the next few weeks here, but um, we got the

1193
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: draft coming up tomorrow. Obviously a lot of things will

1194
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: change moving forward, but let's close out your show with

1195
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: a round of daily DAPs, Dap steps that dog bites

1196
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: and dipping step steps. You know, if you like creepy rabbits,

1197
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: this movie is for you, degenerate art. It is down there.

1198
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: This is why I love this group of guys. Were

1199
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: like world daily Dap time. I'll kick us off. I'll

1200
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: daily dap the Gotti Ward documentary on HBoL. If you

1201
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: guys know me, I'm a big boxing fan. I'm a

1202
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: big m m A guy. But um, Gotti Ward Ar

1203
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Taro Gotti versus Mickey Ward. There trilogy was just so brutal, um,

1204
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: But there was something about it. There was a lot

1205
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: of emotion in it. There was a lot of I

1206
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, man, These these two men

1207
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: were bonded together, and this was the their first fight.

1208
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: Was one of the fights that got me back into boxing.

1209
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: When I watched it as a kid. You know, it

1210
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 1: was Mike Tyson and all those things and that, and

1211
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: that was fine, but there wasn't a lot of tactical

1212
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: things going on. Um in in in a lot of

1213
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson's fights, um And actually when he fought tacticians,

1214
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 1: he he just got run out of the building. Um.

1215
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: That being said, And you know, and there was a

1216
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: long period where I just didn't care about but no

1217
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: one cared about boxing. That was fine. But when I

1218
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: watched Oar Taro Gotti take on Mickey Ward in this

1219
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: random fight that nobody knew about, I was like, holy hell,

1220
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. Anyways, HBO did a documentary on their trilogy,

1221
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: and if you have the opportunity to go watch, even

1222
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:52,919
Speaker 1: if even if you're not a boxing fan, watch it. Man,

1223
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: the emotion and all of those things that are are

1224
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: associated with it. It's awesome, man, it is absolutely awesome.

1225
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: All right, now, Scale Hard, what do you go? Uh,

1226
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to do your second one? You had

1227
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: listed a second one on there, alright. Rich the Kid

1228
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 1: I finally got to his hip hop album. It's it's

1229
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: called The World Is Yours. I liked it. You know,

1230
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: it's not the greatest album in the world. It's cool.

1231
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: It's cool. Hell all right, that's it's it's got that

1232
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: vibe to it. So, uh, if you're hip hop had

1233
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: I I particularly enjoyed Rich the Kids The World Is Yours?

1234
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: All right, I'll take the take the reins here now.

1235
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: So I saw this thanks to Dan Hanss who had

1236
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: a birthday this Weekday podcast. So that was great. But

1237
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: her name's I think she's a writer for dead Spin,

1238
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Hannah Kaiser. She's doing she did a video series called

1239
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Real Sports R E. L. But for whatever reason, I

1240
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: think she said Parsley because of her age when she

1241
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: was growing up and like interest or whatever, she did

1242
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: not watch most of the sports movies like people kind

1243
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: of in my age range watched when they were growing

1244
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: up and love to this day despite their flaws. So

1245
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: she's watching them all now as a cynical and then

1246
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: reviewing them, and the results are pretty hilarious. I mean, sometimes,

1247
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, I take umbradge with some of the things

1248
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: that she's slamming Mighty Ducks and from this and that,

1249
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Varsity Blues and the sand Lot, but they're they're quite

1250
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: entertaining for her for her takes on all of them,

1251
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: which she makes some good points about. Varsity Parson Blues

1252
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: is I feel the best football movie. It's certainly up there,

1253
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: but she makes a good point about like how the

1254
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: whole central thought is like yet he doesn't want to

1255
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: play football. He's the backup quarterbacks, he's supposedly not as

1256
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: good as Lance Harvard. Then he doesn't want to play football,

1257
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: but then he comes in and he's really good at it.

1258
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: And then at the end he's like, we gotta play

1259
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: this game for us, and as you pointed out, all

1260
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: the coaches just all the coaches are locked out too.

1261
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: But anyways, they're real short videos. They're they're pretty funny,

1262
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's a good way to review these

1263
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: movies that you could probably have, like Childhood Nostalgia Goggles

1264
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: on from and she gives them the lens of the

1265
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: critical adult. Uh daily DAPs to Mosala the winger from

1266
01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: my team Liverpool. Guy is just on wire this season.

1267
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: Has forty three goals in forty seven appearances across all competitions.

1268
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: He's uh, he's unstoppable. He scored two goals and I

1269
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: think assisted on two others for sure. Uh, yeah, he

1270
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: did assist on two others. Trying to remember yesterday and

1271
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: when Liverpool beat Roma five to two in the first

1272
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,959
Speaker 1: leg of the Champions League semifinals. He's just an awesome story.

1273
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: He's I think he's only twenty five. He's played for

1274
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: a lot of these big teams and never had a

1275
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: season like this. And he's a big reason why Egypt

1276
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: got into the World Cup this summer for the first

1277
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: time since I think ninete So with the US not

1278
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: in the World Cup pours him out, I'm still not

1279
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: over it. Um, I'm gonna be cheering. I'm gonna be

1280
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: cheering for Egypt thanks to mostil So. He's just having

1281
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: an unbelievable season and he's the most clinical finisher in

1282
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: all of soccer right now. Is incredible. I can't wait

1283
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: for him to play for the Galaxy in twelve years

1284
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,959
Speaker 1: it so let's see, it told you to be about

1285
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: like thirty seven. Yeah, that sounds about right. They'll sign

1286
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: him then. You know what I love about the FS

1287
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: one promos for for the World Cup too. It's not

1288
01:04:56,160 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 1: because they can't promote the US. It's think of out

1289
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: where you're from, Like you know, it's like it's almost

1290
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: like a twenty three and me commercial. You know, it's

1291
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: like we all got a little bit of Spain in US.

1292
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: We're watching Spain now. It's like, all right, dude, Ireland now,

1293
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: like uh. Two other quick daily depths. I finished a

1294
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: book called Janesville, An American Stormy Story by Amy Goldstein.

1295
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: She's Wahington Post reporter and she was kind of like

1296
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: embedded in Janesville. It's a town in Wisconsin after they

1297
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: had been home to one of the longest standing General

1298
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: Motors plants and then it closed during the Great Recession.

1299
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 1: And her story just kind of it's not like it's

1300
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: not really political at all. It's more just like a

1301
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: human interest story of how this community dealt with the

1302
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: huge fallout. And she follows several different families and community

1303
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: figures and stuff like that and how they tried to

1304
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: pick the pieces back up. It's a it's it's in

1305
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: a very emotional story at times, but it's really just

1306
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: honest and genuine's it's really it's a really easy, like

1307
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: easy reading that it's not like super dense. Some of

1308
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: the subject matters obviously, the very difficult at times, but

1309
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 1: I would I would recommend it. It's just kind of

1310
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: a great reporter. She's a reporter for the Washington Posent.

1311
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 1: What I've always noticed, too, is when reporters write books,

1312
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: it is an easy read always, you know what I'm saying,

1313
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: because they're they're trained to that journalistic style. It's kind

1314
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: of breezy, inverted pyramid, all that jazz. But no, it's

1315
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: it's a good reading. It's just a great snapshot of

1316
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: like that period in time from then till now. Basically

1317
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: the book kind of went from like two thousand eight,

1318
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 1: two nine through to uh and then the last one

1319
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: is just daily depths everybody in Toronto with the families

1320
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: and from that attack that happened recently with the guy

1321
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,919
Speaker 1: driving the van, through their crazy times and I don't

1322
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: don't know that it got as much coverage as it

1323
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: probably deserved. So I know, that's kind of wrapped up,

1324
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: but shout out to everybody up there that was impacted

1325
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 1: by it, that tragedy. Adam. I'm going to start off

1326
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: with a television recommendation. I know that I'm a little

1327
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 1: late to the game when it comes to this thing

1328
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: called Netflix. Are not. Actually I'm not late to the game.

1329
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 1: It's just rare that I get an opportunity to watch

1330
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: watch no watch adults shows and we're not watching Inside

1331
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Out for like then, I swear the Great Caesar's Goes.

1332
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: How my daughter can watch that movie over and over again.

1333
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, we watch Joy. No, We're done with Joy.

1334
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: We know how this movie ends. Um, But I did

1335
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: take an opportunity one night, because I did, I took

1336
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: a brief vacation. I watched Glow. I'm a huge I'm

1337
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: obviously a wrestling Mardies Wrestling Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling with

1338
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Mark Maron and uh, Alison Bree and everybody. Uh. Really

1339
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: well done. Obviously it's not a documentary, it's it's loosely

1340
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: based on the wrestling promotion of the nineteen eighties, but

1341
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: really good and I recommend anybody who's looking to bing something.

1342
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: The episodes are a half hour, so it'll be really

1343
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: fun to go check that out. Uh, speaking of wrestling,

1344
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: how close was it to like because it was kind

1345
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: of it's based on the real thing there they all

1346
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: fictional characters, like I didn't watch yet I heard all

1347
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: fictional yet all fictional characters. The main central storyline um

1348
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: with Marc Maron and the two lead to female leads

1349
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 1: are It's so it's just it's just a story, but

1350
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: it's it's they used that wrestling promotion of the eighties

1351
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 1: today story like it to inspire this kind of story. Okay, cool, Yeah,

1352
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: it's a cool story. Whether wrestling was involved or not,

1353
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 1: even it would still be interesting, but wrestling just brings

1354
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: it all together for me. And so I've really enjoyed that.

1355
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: And speaking of wrestling, is uh, I don't know if

1356
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,800

Speaker 1: it's a hot topic after you were at a happy

1370
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say three shirts you listen.

1371
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:11,120

Speaker 1: gone to happy hour first, which is not a great idea, okay.

1374
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 1: And then well what I happened? I really need to

1375
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: we need to delve deep into why would you go

1376
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 1: to happy hour and then hot topic like this? This

1377
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: seems like a very because that's a very weird combination.

1378
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: It's a very strange. I got it, I got it. Strange, Shad.

1379

01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:45,720

1409
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 1: up giving away to my lift driver because I forgot him.

1410
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: That was quite a story. That was quite a story.

1411
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: I can't wait for Billy Kay and Peyton Royce to

1412
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: have their own T shirts. I don't know you guys

1413
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 1: watch watch the SmackDown because the iconics are up on

1414
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: the main roster from n x T. It's amazing. Alright,

1415
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 1: let's talk about another sport that you guys probably don't

1416
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: watch either, because I haven't had an opportunity to dap

1417
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 1: the hell out of show. Hey Otani, who has been amazing.

1418
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: Part of the reason the reason I wasn't on the

1419
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: show was because I was afraid that Otani was gonna

1420
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 1: have a terrible game against the Red Sox, which he

1421
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,600
Speaker 1: did and he got a blister, and and then everybody

1422
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: was like, it wasn't enough that Otani was injured. But

1423
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: then the Boston Herald or what other stupid newspaper that

1424
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: is had to write this incendiary comment column like, hey,

1425
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: this is Mookie Bets better than Mike Trent. Hey, you

1426
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: know what, I'll answer that for you. No, And I

1427
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 1: mean unless if you want to ignore the statistical evidence

1428
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: and the visual evidence, then perhaps you could make a

1429
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: case for Mookie Betts with your argument being plays for Boston.

1430
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: Of course he's better. Of course he's not better. But

1431
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: Showeyatani is the truth. And and Tuesday night in Houston,

1432
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: he went up against the World champions. Did he almost

1433
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: no hit him? He did not. He had a serviceable

1434
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: game where he battled against one of the best teams

1435
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 1: in the American League outside of Boston. It's like, look

1436
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: that show, Hey, my only no hit the A's and

1437
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: the Royals, and it is fine. But he's a battler

1438
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: and he's he's doing it, and I'm tired of and

1439
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: so and this is another thing too, for all you

1440
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 1: dodge your fans out of there. When people go like

1441
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw one night went and pinch hit in a game.

1442
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: I think it's against the Giants. And my neighbor and

1443
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 1: his wife is like, oh, is is Kershaw like a

1444
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: good hitter or something? And my neighbor goes he's good

1445
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: for a picture. I'm like, no, no, no, Otani is

1446
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: good for a picture. He's hitting over three hundred and

1447
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,719
Speaker 1: he's got four home runs. That's good hitting for a picture.

1448
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, you're out of the conversation some player on

1449
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: the players in the Brewers right now. I would like

1450
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: to do half that. I think it's encouraging. I think

1451
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: that if if we have a reasonable go with Otani

1452
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: getting ten wins, can you imagine if he played home runs?

1453
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: The Yankees are Red Sox, right, and how much cover

1454
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: should he plays in l A Like it's but it's

1455
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 1: the l A media market, Okay. I don't have still

1456
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: prefers the Dodgers, though sadly for the team. Actually they

1457
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 1: don't because the Dodgers aren't on TV locally, So that's true.

1458
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: Real quick, I forgot um I teased that thing and

1459
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: then I thankfully I'm open. So why started laughing so

1460
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 1: hard in the middle of the podcast is I came

1461
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: across this tweet. Uh, it's for the handle Pigeons and Planes.

1462
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: I guess it's a block or something at Pigs and

1463
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: Plans is the handle? But they're doing a thread of

1464
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: New Yorker cartoons, but taking Kanye's recent tweets and putting

1465
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: them on the pictures instead. So the first one, I'm

1466
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 1: just gonna read an apologist Christian. You have to peep

1467
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: it out. But it's a picture of like a dad

1468
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: on the playground on one knee with his hand on

1469
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 1: his kids shoulder, says stop lying about just stop lying.

1470
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: That's what I saw just randomly on my timeline. It

1471
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 1: burst out laughing. There's like, there's ten of them, and

1472
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: some are great, some are aren't as perfect, but that

1473
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:27,799
Speaker 1: one made me laughs. All right, So there you go, Christian.

1474
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: And those are Dilbert cartoons. Now it's just a New

1475
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: Yorker cartoons. Um, I'm going to daily dap my gas

1476
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: station right next to my house because yeah, because last night, um,

1477
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 1: Apple products are awesome. And my phone charger at eleven

1478
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 1: thirty last night decided to snap in half. So I'm thinking,

1479
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: how do I wake up in the morning because I

1480
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: don't have an alarm clock, so I can't borrow my

1481
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: roommates charger. She's obviously using it. I either sit in

1482
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: my car for the next four hours to charge my

1483
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: phone or I need to go some Okay, so I'm

1484
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 1: driving around. I'm hitting up like the grocery store, trying

1485
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 1: any place that would have a phone charger, and no

1486
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: one's having anything. So I go to the I mean yeah,

1488
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:18,479

1489
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 1: must have something. So I go in and they have

1490
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: the largest selection of ox chords and all this other stuff.

1491
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 1: And so I asked, you have any phone charger. I

1492
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:28,439
