Speaker 1: the glass water? Why why do we have here? It's

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: quiet weak for him. He's on officially quote unquote prepay

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: and I think he's he's fully prepped at this point. Okay, good, Okay,

00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: We've got a little observation, so he's coming into you know,

Speaker 1: off season sleeper talk here. Why the hell not highlights

00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: some of the players there, um and get into some

64
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: of the reasons anyways, why he has highlighted some of

65
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: these players as potential sleepers. Here's a little hint, Marlon

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: mack Kenny Golladay featured heavily in his column Ranks eleven.

67
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: We will be getting into that. Will close out the

68
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: show with a round of daily depths. But we start

69
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: your show as we always do, with your top fantasy headlines.

70
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the news we really do have breaking here? Hey,

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: did you guys though the diegels like bag ships to

72
00:03:52,480 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: playing in the snipper Ball? Just breaking news all We're

73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna start in l A and the most chargeriest of charges.

74
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: So sad hunter Henry toward his a c l at

75
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: O t A's Monday, the team released thirty seven year

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: old Antonio Gates. Only free agent signing, Virgil Green, remains

77
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: in the tight end room as of right now. Virgil

78
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: Green sixteen starts last season. He was durable man. I

79
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: want you to prepare yourselves for this stat line. Sixteen

80
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: starts last year with Denver, fourteen receptions a D one touchdown.

81
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: I feel like Julio Jones did that in like O game.

82
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: You know how many Fantasy Championship rosters zero zero. That's

83
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: maybe he was on some deep dynasty championship rosters. But

84
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: and again, prepare yourself for the heat in forty nine

85
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: career starts for nine career starts, eight hundred and seven

86
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: receiving yards and four touchdowns and career just fan yourselves off.

87
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: I want to put it in another way, he averages

88
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: sixteen point four yards per game started. That's not played

89
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: by the way he's played in many more, but started

90
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: the average six. So clearly, Virgil Green is not necessarily

91
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: a receiving option, uh, for tight end for the l

92
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: A Chargers. I would imagine they'll probably you know what's

93
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be like, uh, it's that quick

94
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: breakup and then you know the hook up again. You

95
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Antonio hey, big head, hey, But

96
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean bottom line is Antonio gets thirty seven years old. Um,

97
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's gonna open up a lot of

98
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: targets for somebody like Mike Williams, who is a you know,

99
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: he's a big boy man, he's a big target. Obviously

100
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: his rookie season lost to a back injury, but he

101
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 1: was a dynamic playmate at a Clemson Clemson wide receivers,

102
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: AM I right? Um? But yeah, I mean I think

103
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: if you are somebody who is excited was excited about

104
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. Certainly the hunter Henry News sucks. You can't

105
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: help but just feel like, ah, this is a guy

106
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: that absolutely was about to break out for the Chargers.

107
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: But you know, I'll tell you what Mike Williams could

108
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: stand to benefit. Am I alone? And thinking that, Um,

109
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're alone? First off, I'm just wondering,

110
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: is what takes precedence the Clemson receivers? M I right?

111
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: Or the curse of Mike being named Mike Williams because

112
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: those guys haven't done so well in the in the

113
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: NFL's wide Well, there's two wide receivers. That is there

114
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: a third that I can think of? Another Mike Williams. Um,

115
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: was this the third? I think this was the third?

116
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: There was the USC Williams and then there was another

117
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: the other Mike Williams like you played for Tampa. Okay,

118
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: he had one good year with Tampa. He was bust,

119
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: had a great year. Everybody in fantasy wanted him, and

120
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: then he disappeared again. Okay, so this is this is

121
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: it's too competing trust sort of, Mike Williams the third,

122
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: I guess, and uh, we'll deserve, we'll determine. But you know,

123
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: but I guess it's to get back to your question, Yeah,

124
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: there is opportunity for him to produce there too, to

125
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: get some more opportunity. It's funny cause I'm looking at

126
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: the roster and there are actually a lot of tight

127
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: ends on the Chargers roster, but none of them make

128
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: you believe they're gonna do anything do any I mean, Brandon,

129
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Bowman, Sean Culkin, what Cole Hunt, Ben Johnson? These

130
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: are these are not real names. These are these are

131
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: the These are your Chargers tight ends not named hunter. Uh.

132
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: In addition to um Antonio Gates, Marcedes Lewis is still

133
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: a free agent and he had he's up there as well.

134
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: But he's a guy that's taking as playing in London

135
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: because that is when you really want let's go baby.

136
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: But Marsendes Lewis is a veteran that could come in

137
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: and help them. Being told there was a Mike Williams

138
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: who was a tackle for the Bills. Yes, we've got

139
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: Dylan behind the glass helping us out with some Mike

140
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Williams research. There you go. I don't know that this

141
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: is a huge boon from my Williams. It certainly doesn't

142
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: hurt freeing up some targets. I would imagine they'll address

143
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: the position and then there's still Tyrrell Williams as well.

144
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Just I just doesn't have the curse now. I just

145
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: I just think about in the red zone, you know, touchdown,

146
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: target share, you know what I mean. Of course, you

147
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: know I've seen some stuff too where hey Keenan Allen

148
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: is gonna get en up this brother Kenan ally can

149
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: not getting enough ticking targets. I mean they're already I

150
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: mean just pounding that guy with targets. I mean, what

151
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: are they gonna give twenty targets game? It could It

152
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: could benefit him in the red zone though, because he

153
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: you line him up in the slot and he's uncoverable

154
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: there almost so you know they could spread him out

155
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: and do that. It could It could hint that Melvin

156
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: Gordon is less likely to hit touchdown regression because he's

157
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: such a big factor in the red zone as well,

158
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: both through the air and on the ground. I'm hesitant

159
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: to make any big conclusions. Uh, this is something that

160
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: it really sucks for the Charges in Hunter Henry, but

161
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: it could be good in a fantasy sense that this

162
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: happened now as opposed to late July August, so the

163
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: Chargers have time to adjust and figure things out, and

164
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: we can then read the tea leaves afterwards and adjust

165
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: our expectations and rankings accordingly. It's a very good point.

166
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. Remember that guy who who who quarterback for

167
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: the wide receiver Texas A and M Right, he was

168
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: a wide receiver in college. No, I know, I love it.

169
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: It's so great, right, it's out of Hill. He's practicing

170
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: without a knee brace in o t A s for Miami. Um,

171
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Also, quick quick aside, Dylan does say

172
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: Titans at Chargers in London this year, So get Mercedes Lewis,

173
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: bring it back home for game from l A you

174
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: can come back home. Adam Ranke has made the point

175
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: that if you are from London, you think that Marcedes

176
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: Lewis is the greatest time. No I said that to

177
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: that day that there's some kid in London who's like,

178
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what the big deal with this grunk

179
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: character is. He's the He's the truth. I love it.

180
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: But no, Ryan Tannehill, Um there, I mean for fantasy

181
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: purposes if he's back in healthy, Um does it mean?

182
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm not that it necessarily means anything for Ryan Tannehill,

183
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: but maybe the Miami offense, uh, somewhat because before the injury,

184
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, Tannehill was a pretty mobile guy, you know

185
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: not he had a pretty good arm as well. There

186
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: was some buzz around the upside concerning Ryan Tannehill. But

187
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, again, coming off a major kne injury,

188
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: who knows about him in particular? I just want to

189
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: know about what he might do, uh, in terms of

190
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: stabilizing the Miami Dolphins offense. The same thing he ever did,

191
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: which is nothing. He'll get your right around four thousand

192
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: yards about twenty five or so touchdowns throw about. I

193
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: mean that seems aggressive think about it this year. I mean,

194
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just based on you know, what he

195
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: has done previously in his career. OK, let's think about this,

196
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: THU this time last year, Ryan Tannehill gets hurt. I

197
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: guess they happened a little bit later, but whatever, he

198
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: gets hurt, smoking Jay, they bring in j Cutler, and

199
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: the general consensus was, yeah, I think they're about to

200
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: say maybe they might even be better off. Yeah, yeah,

201
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean that. I mean that Cutler, you know, Cutlered.

202
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: But the idea that Ryan Tannehill could leave and then

203
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: they could pick up a guy who was rich, semi

204
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: retired and thinking about a TV big and everybody's like

205
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: it might be okay, right that I think that says

206
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: a lot about Ryan Tannon. The Christian Hackenburg was traded

207
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: to the Raiders for a conditional seventh rounder for some reason.

208
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't know why is he old enough to play

209
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: for John Gruden? I mean why did I guess, why

210
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: did this move happen? Does anybody? Can anybody figure this? Like?

211
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't save the Raiders any space additional seventh I

212
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna get cut So I think it's a

213
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: situation where because yeah, I'm sure I'm sure you saw

214
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter people digging up old quotes from John Gruden

215
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: about how much he loved Christian Hackenburg. It's quarterback camp.

216
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: I mean, of course he's mean, but he loves everybody

217
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: before the draft that he would be shocked if if

218
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: Christian Hackenburg wasn't a first round pick until now here

219
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: it is, the Jets are like, well, we don't want

220
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: this guy. So John Gruden's like, hey, I'm you know,

221
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: I'll give you a seventh rounder for a former first rounder.

222
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? I guess maybe he was

223
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: und I mean, it's just this just baffling, like the

224
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: knock against Hackenberg coming out of college. I love tweeting

225
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: this all the time. I went and read to I

226
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: found my old tweet and retweeted his actual draft card

227
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: on NFL network wording I said cons bad tape, like

228
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: his cons were basically bad at football and he went

229
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: in the second round. I kid you not. It's on

230
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: my Twitter timeline. It was on the network. I almost

231
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: fell out of my chair at the office. I was

232
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: laughing so hard, came across the screen. Can I Can

233
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: I also say this though, is that um it matters

234
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: who trades for who, because you know there's so much

235
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: negative um buzz right now surrounding John Gruden, you know,

236
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: going back blah, blah blah blah. And and in the

237
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: Oakland Raids assembling the oldest team in the history of

238
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: the NFL. Blah blah blah blah blah whatever. Okay, fine,

239
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: but that being said, I always think back to and

240
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: I do this with every trade. That is just nonsense. Cool.

241
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: If Bill Belichick made this trade, people would have been like,

242
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: you see, this guy is running circles around the league.

243
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: He sent the seventh rounder to get a second rounder. No,

244
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so, you know what I do think

245
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: I I understand where you're going with this. I do

246
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: think people are starting to look more rationally or critically

247
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: even at the Belichick trades, and not not that they

248
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: can go out and say, you know, that was terrible,

249
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: that was stupid, but I think people are starting to

250
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: look at and be like, all right, yeah, I don't

251
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: know what you're doing. A fair swing of mrs as well,

252
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know it. I mean, I get I get

253
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Like, if it's Belichick versus like the Browns,

254
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: he gets more benefit of this. But there are plenty

255
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: of people that will point out that he's had a

256
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: fair share of mrs in recent guess man, But it's

257
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: just you look around. Man. It's I still think with Hackenberg,

258
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: had this trade happened they done that, people would have

259
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: been like L. L. Belichick, what are you doing? I

260
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I don't know. Man. Sometimes

261
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: he takes these red clamation projects and you know, tries

262
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: to do something. Who knows. Anyways, the Brown's beat reporter

263
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: Nate Ulric bet his fourth round rookie Antonio Callaway is

264
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: gonna push Corey Coleman for the number three wide receiver job.

265
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: To me, that's a surprise given the Corey Coleman was

266
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: the fifteenth overall pick in two He's the third year player. Guys.

267
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: It's just it's crazy to me. Coleman is also reportedly

268
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: on the trading block as well. Um, if you're wondering

269
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: what the wide receiver room looks like there for the Browns,

270
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, they're clear outside threat. Jarvis Landry the clear

271
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: uh inside guys. So that's their number one and two

272
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: in terms of wide receivers. Corey Coleman I thought would

273
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: have been an awesome fit on the outside opposite of

274
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon stretching the field and you know you gotta

275
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: pick your poison there is it gonna be what what

276
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? You're gonna You're gonna come Josh

277
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Gordon Deep, You're gonna cover Corey Coleman team so um

278
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: and especially you know, I know they've got Baker Mayfield there,

279
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: but early on at least it's gonna be Tyrod Taylor.

280
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: Well what does Tyrod Taylor do? Well? He likes to

281
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: throw that long ball. Um, And so having two guys

282
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: on the outside really threatening Deep, I don't know. To me,

283
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: I thought it made a whole hell of a lot

284
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: of sense. And now they've got, uh, this kid Antonio

285
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: Callaway again, a fourth round rookie supposedly gonna push for

286
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: this job. I don't know, Uh, I don't know. I

287
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: mean part of this, part of this to me, feels

288
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: like we just want to light a fire under Corey Coleman.

289
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: You know that that he hasn't we haven't gotten what

290
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: we hope to out of him so far. I mean,

291
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: I think that's the whole you know, he's on the

292
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: trading block, the Antonio Callaway thing, Like I just I

293
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: think this is they're using this to try to light

294
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: a fire under him and see what happen. Now. Granted,

295
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: if nothing does happen and we get you know, were

296
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: getting well into training camp in preseason and and Coleman

297
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Hilden has shown much, then I think this becomes a

298
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: little bit more legitimate. But right now I think is

299
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: more motivation than anything. Okay, Callaway also is kind of

300
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,239
Speaker 1: a similar athlete to Corey Coleman. Very fast, very explosive.

301
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: He is a fourth round rookie because he had a

302
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: lot of off the field troubles, which is why he

303
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: tumbled down draft boards. But a lot of people um

304
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: viewed him as the type of guy that much like

305
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon when he went in the supplemental draft, like

306
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: if he can get into the league and keep his

307
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: head on straight, has like sky's the limit for his potential.

308
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: So it could standard reason too that uh, you know,

309
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman's from a different regime, hasn't lived up to

310
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: expectations there, but he still has a high draft pedigree,

311
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: still a great athlete, has still shown flashes. They could

312
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: either be trying to let the fire on him or

313
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: still try and trade him, like by by signaling this

314
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: to other teams, they'll be like, hey, if you want him,

315
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: come get him because like we're not going to use

316
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: him that much. Good info, good info, no doubt about it.

317
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: I I just feel like it hasn't been talent or

318
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: on the field. It's been injuries that have derailed Corey Coleman.

319
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: He had that broken hand that set him back for

320
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: a while. He had an injury that was his rookie year.

321
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: Last year, he had another another hand, the wrist injury, hamstring.

322
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: It might have been a hand as well that also

323
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: kept him off the field. But it's been injuries that

324
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: have largely kept him off the field. I don't know,

325
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: a broken hand is that really his fault? I guess

326
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying, You know what I mean, It's

327
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. To me, it's strange. Um. I thought

328
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: when he was on the field and healthy, I thought

329
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: he was a good player. Um you know, is he were?

330
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Was he worth a top fifteen overall select Okay, probably

331
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: not said I thought he was pretty effective um as

332
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, especially on the outside. The thing is,

333
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: even if he were to like win that number three

334
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: role in Cleveland, where's where are the targets going to

335
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: come from? Like Gordon's their Landry's there Duke Johnson's their

336
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: hide slash club or there and Joe Wus I mean

337
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be looking at like whoever that third

338
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver is this year is gonna be looking at

339
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: like fifty targets target. You're fighting, You're fighting for scraps

340
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles being reporter Elliott shore Parks says thirty four

341
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: year old Darren Sprawls, who was coming off of an

342
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: A C L tear, could potentially lead the team in

343
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: RB snaps. What I just please know? Um? I mean

344
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: I read that and I immediately started scratching my head,

345
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: like literally scratching my head. Why what? I don't understand

346
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: that at all? I mean, what where is the speculation

347
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: from l A. Short Parks coming from that? A thirty

348
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: four year old Twitter write, he wrote it up. He

349
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: wrote it up. I just did a real life white

350
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: guy blinking gimes, That's what I'm saying. He wrote this up.

351
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: And a thirty four year old scat back in Dearris who,

352
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: by the way, darrens spoils great. Nothing against Darrin Spoils,

353
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: but he's gonna lead the team in RB snaps with

354
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Jay a giant in an emerging Corey Clement there. I

355
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: don't know about that one. Man, I don't know about that.

356
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm not buying that one. Yeah, color color me skeptical.

357
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: Like I love Sprowls and I've been a huge fan

358
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: of his for a long time. You're telling me, you're

359
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: telling me the savvy front office and coaching staff that

360
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: is rooted in analytics, among other things. Going to let

361
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: a thirty four year old back coming off two major

362
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: injuries lead the backfield and snaps. Now, although I would

363
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: say this, whether or not these stories are true, it's

364
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: been a bad look for the Eagles front office the

365
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: last couple of days. I mean, you've got this story

366
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: about thirty or four year old drew On Scrolls, and

367
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: you have the story that they turned down a trade

368
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: for the thirty overall pick, you know, for Nick foles

369
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: um in the NFL Draft. I don't hate turning down

370
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: that trade. I mean, look, I understand with Carson Wentz,

371
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: you're not sure if he's gonna be back week one,

372
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: so you want to make sure you're set. But you know,

373
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: the general consensus has been man like you could have

374
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: had like a high second. The thing is they hold

375
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: on the fold. It secures them for the start of

376
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: the season, and if a contending team's quarter back goes down,

377
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: that price for Nick Foles is just so like if

378
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: a team, you know, like the Packers or the Vikings

379
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: or whomever, who do not have great backup situations lose

380
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback before that trade deadline, guess what, there

381
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: you go, Nicholas, come on in, we need chapelle. Um.

382
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: That's interesting though. Sprawls last year played three games again

383
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: in seventeen for a hundred and thirty four scrimmage yards. Again.

384
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: You know, I would generally when I read Beat reporter

385
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: stuff like this and they have a strong take, like

386
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: you know that somebody like Darren Sprawls could lead the

387
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: team in RB snaps, you know, my immediate as a host,

388
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: my immediate thought is, okay, well, you know, how do

389
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: you think this may or may not affect J G.

390
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman. It's just so out of left field though

391
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: for me anyways, that I just I just can't buy it.

392
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: I feel like Elliott Sharp Parks is a fine Beat

393
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: reporter too, but he is not one of those ones

394
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: that has that I've been when like he tweets something

395
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: out or says something that I'm like, gotta get gotta

396
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: gotta believe it. Like a Mike Cliss in Denver or

397
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: some of those other guys. He's he's fine, but he's

398
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: not one of those ones where like he he throws

399
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: something out and I'm like, yeah, alright. The Chicago Bears,

400
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: their head coach Matt Naggy is talking up second year

401
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: player Trerek Cohen the human joystick. The plan, it sounds like,

402
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: is to get Trek and all over the field. I mean,

403
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: if you were excited about Cohen, you're getting more excited.

404
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: And as the off season goes on, the excitement is building.

405
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, is he a great sleeper or a really

406
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: great sleeper? Here? Well, I did a mock uh earlier

407
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: this week on Monday and NFL dot com dot com

408
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: now open and go check it out. I got I

409
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: got twon in the seventh round. God, oh, Mney, that's aggressive.

410
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: That's that's a little high. That's high, bro. I felt

411
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: I felt okay about that. This is makes me feel

412
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: better about it. I like him more in the nine

413
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: to ten. That's what That's what I was saying. No,

414
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: I mean, mind you like, I'm so I'm in I'm

415
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: in a process. I'm trying to do them. And by

416
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: the way, even even in nine, I feel like that's

417
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: pretty aggressive too, because I mean you're basically saying he's

418
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: a top one hunter player. Well, I mean, keep keep going.

419
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: I want I just did a mock yet last night.

420
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do a mock, if not every day,

421
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: close to every day and kind of just keeping track

422
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: of who I'm who I'm taking and where I'm taking

423
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: that sort of thing, and just trying to figure out

424
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: if there's any similarities or whatever. But I mean, yes,

425
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: I know you guys feel like it's aggressive. But let's

426
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: think about this because we talked about Jordan Howard and

427
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: what his role is on this team, and he's a

428
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: great he's a great running back. They now have a

429
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: new head coach in Mattnee, who we know doesn't mind

430
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: tossing the ball to his to his running backs. And

431
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: I know, James, you are chief on the bandwagon of

432
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard. Can't catch you can't catch you damn thing.

433
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: It's so why wouldn't you Why wouldn't you expect treat

434
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: going and get more work versus skillets out there? Um

435
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: with a coach who wants to put the ball up.

436
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this team is built to start throwing the

437
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: football a little bit more right right. I did an

438
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: industry in industry PPR mock draft last night twelve teams.

439
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: Um it'll be published this summer in a magazine. But

440
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: Tarik Cohen went UH pick hundred and three overall nine

441
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: dot seven, so the seventh pick of the ninth round

442
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: right around him. Also in that PPR mock draft, running

443
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: back wise were Rex Burkehead, Isaiah Correll, Tevin Coleman, Fell

444
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: really Far, Davante Booker, Duke Johnson, and C. J. Anderson.

445
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: I feel like, I feel like that group Kevin Coleman

446
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: might be the only one that I really for sure

447
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: would have ahead of Tarik Cohen. I think, I just

448
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I like I I like Cohen, and he's

449
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: so electric. But I feel like you're gonna be playing

450
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: whack a mole with his usage in those games, because

451
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: there will be the games where he gets six catches,

452
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: seventy yards, a touchdown, couple carries for another fifteen. Then

453
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be the games where the Bears might be

454
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: out ahead and they're just Ryan Jordan Howard with thirty

455
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: carries and Tarik Cohen's like just returning punts for fun. True,

456
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you're drafting Cohen, like I'm, I'm

457
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: not drafting him as you know, he's he's a third

458
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: running back right now, right right, so he to play,

459
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: he's a FLEXI play. He's a guy you are. You're

460
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: kind of streaming flag of a better term. You're playing

461
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: matchups with him. I guess, yeah, I'm I'm not plugging

462
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: into Cohen expecting I'm gonna get solid week to week

463
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: production at him, because that's still gonna be Jordan Howard's gig. Yeah.

464
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean, but again I think that I think to

465
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: what you're saying though, I think that's why we're kind

466
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: of like whoa seventh rat because you're not taking necessarily

467
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: a starter there um in your top seven picks, which

468
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 1: is nothing necessarily wrong with that. I just it just

469
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: seems I was surprised, especially because you are a little

470
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: bit more I don't know, a little bit more conservative

471
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: with some of your picks as well. I do. I

472
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: tend to be. And again, this is all part of

473
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: doing mocks too, is you know, knowing you can play

474
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: around with things, make some picks that you probably wouldn't

475
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: make during the season. So you know in the human

476
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: joystick Terry Cohen three hundred seventy rush yards, three hundred

477
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: fifty three receiving yards, so about seven totally yards, five

478
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: total TVs. You're ready for it. Two rushing tea d's

479
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: are receiving t D, a punt return t D and

480
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: a past Did he throw it to Trabisky or was

481
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: it a tight end? Was it Trey Burton? Was it

482
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: was I'm trying to remember who he threw it to.

483
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: I think it was in that Monday night game draw

484
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: Whisky's first start. I feel I don't because the Miller

485
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: weren't there. Jokes that like Tarik Cohen us three more

486
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns in Drabinsky and like his first start hold on,

487
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: I gotta look. Five total tds though, of all varieties,

488
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: that's not bad. I mean on the ground, Zach Miller,

489
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 1: Zach Miller against the Ravens. Remember it wasn't tight end.

490
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: I just didn't remember which one because they all seem

491
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: to get injured. Um, But yeah, no, I made five

492
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: total tds, one everywhere. I mean, that's pretty good. On

493
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: the ground, through the air, of special teams and passing,

494
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: that's not bad. I'll tell you who I prefer as

495
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: a sleeper target on the Bears. Although in the industry

496
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: mock he went, yea Trey Burton. Baby, I've been seeing

497
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: Naggie has been pumping him up and talking about how

498
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: he needs that type of tight end to use. They're

499
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: going to use the other guys Dion Sims and Adam

500
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: Sheheen is more of the blocking guys around there, and

501
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: Trey Burton is going to be his Travis Kelsey two

502
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: point out. That's interesting, you know, I'm i gotta see

503
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: what the offense is gonna look like, man, I mean,

504
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm very confused, you know, because they've got well, I'm

505
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: just confused in terms of what it might look like,

506
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, because they do have playmakers in a lot

507
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: of different areas of the field, you know what I mean,

508
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: So like, how are they going to spread that ball around?

509
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: You know, Allan Robbins is gonna get his requisite looks

510
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: in the in terms of the tight end. I mean,

511
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: I get theoretically you could go to tight end, you know,

512
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: with Sheheen and with Trey Burton there as well, but

513
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: you don't see it'swenty two percent too often. So You're

514
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: not gonna see two running back to tight end. You

515
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I would honestly like throw a

516
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: beer bet down that Trey Burton is at least second

517
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: in targets on the Bears second. Okay, Uh, it's gonna

518
00:26:55,080 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: boy because look it's Alan, it's Allen Robinson, one, um,

519
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel will be there. He's gonna have a good role,

520
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: but he's not gonna get targets. So it's like you

521
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: would think, is Trek Collen gonna user, Trey Burton, Kevin

522
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: the Ghost of Kevin White, rookie rookie, Anthony Miller, they love,

523
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: they love Anthony Miller, Benny Fowler. He might be onto

524
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: something here. Yeah, I think you're right that. That's why

525
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm really starting to get on board with Trey Burton.

526
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: Target looks like he's he's very athletic, he's entering his

527
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: first chance in his starting role, and sin a sending

528
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: offense a young quarterback, target share is going to be

529
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: there even if the Bears don't sling it. You know,

530
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: like six and or fifty times, like second in the

531
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: pecking order, Like ninety plus targets for a tight end

532
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: is pretty dune good in fantasy. It's not bad, that's

533
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: not you know what, I'm gonna have to think about

534
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: that one. That that's pretty good. I would the targets

535
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: are at least available, right, I would say Taylor Gabriel

536
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: is going to he'll eat a lot too. He's the

537
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: other guy in that offense. I think, eats quite a

538
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: bit of this ship. He's going to get like six

539
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: seventy targets. I think I like Taylor Gabriel, but at

540
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: the end of the day, he's still somewhat of a

541
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: gadget receiver. Man. You know this conversation has done because

542
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: you know, a couple weeks ago, I was looking at

543
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: thinking about the thinking about the Bears offense, not looking

544
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: at it all paper, and being like, man, this is

545
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be kind of interesting. It's because

546
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm sitting next to Adam Rank and you know up

547
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: now that now that we're sitting here and I'm like

548
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: actually looking at the roster. I'm not I'm not I'm

549
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 1: not hating on it, but it's like, this isn't this

550
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: isn't quite as exciting. Well, the depth isn't there, but

551
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: the starters and I think the Taylor Gabriel, Trey Burton,

552
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard, Treet Cohen. That's a nice little nucleus, but

553
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: it's still but the way that the way that it's

554
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: constructed still reads to me like a little bit like

555
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: a John Fox team. Do you know what I'm saying?

556
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: Where they got They have guys, but they're not necessarily

557
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: field stretchers. Taylor Gabriel's that guy who's gonna zoom baya.

558
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: But everybody else I don't know, you know what I mean.

559
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: So it's still gonna be pretty much what's in front

560
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: of it. And actually in the other thing. I think

561
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinsky as well, Um, great arm, but man, I'll

562
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: tell you what, he's really effective on slants and more

563
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: underneath type throws where he can really exhibit some of

564
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: that arm strength. On straight line throws, I don't necessarily

565
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: know if he's that you know, Yeah, he got a

566
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: big arm. Okay, great, I get you, But can you

567
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: throw it accurately downfield? I don't know if he's necessarily

568
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: that guy yet. So for the record, uh, last year

569
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: seven tight End saw ninety plus targets, eleven saw a

570
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: D plus. Benjamin Watson just missed that threshold with seventy nine. Okay,

571
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: so you're looking at at least you know at top.

572
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: We're talking top tennish targets anyway, top tennish volume for

573
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: Trey Burton. Not bad, not bad, and considering where you're

574
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: taking them, that's not bad. All right, Let's get the

575
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: sleepers ranks. Eleven ranks eleven sleepers. You can find that

576

Speaker 1: agency and all that good stuff. All right, we'll hit

581
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: on a few um, want to know what you guys think.

582
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: A full disclosure here. Adam Rank was supposed to be

583
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: on the podcast. He was supposed to be on the part.

584
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not doing the whole total access thing

585
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: on him, right, but that being sad, he did email

586
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: me this point. He big timed us. He legit gave

587
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: us the heisman and just wait, where did he go?

588
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: What is he? He's on special assignment. I don't know what.

589
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's on right now. But he

590
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: basically said brom I kid you not. He basically said,

591
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm too busy for your podcast. That is That is

592
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: the honest to god truth. I mean just straight up

593
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, Levian Bell style stiff farm right to the

594
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: dome piece. It is. Yeah, that's that's that is literally

595
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 1: what happened. Um, and I was too lazy and it

596
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: was too late for me to change the rundown. So

597
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: more the former the in the ladder. Well, if we

598
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 1: wanted to totally swerve. I'm working on a piece that's

599
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: going to come out about the most intriguing backfield committees.

600
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: Hey man, I'm open to whatever. Because it's the offseason.

601
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: We teased it off the top. Let's talk about a

602
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: couple of these guys. All right, fine, I guess we'll

603
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: do that. That's fine, Okay, Austin Ekeler, this is your boy,

604
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: this is my boy. We're gonna try to get him

605
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: on the podcast again. Um. I don't know if people

606
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: know this, but we actually did get him on a

607
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, but we had some technical issues. We'll

608
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: clear that up. As a matter of fact, you don't

609
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna reach out to him today. Let's see

610
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: if we can't get him on the podcast next week. UM.

611
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: So there Austin Ekeler, the backup running back there for

612
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: the l A Chargers. Um, I really really really liked

613
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: what I saw on tape. Obviously you look at the

614
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: total numbers, it wasn't necessarily eye popping, but uh, in

615
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: limited touches, he was so incredibly effective. Um. And for

616
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: a little guy, he's compact, but man, he is strong. UM.

617
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: And the quickness certainly just just leaps off the page.

618
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: But um, you know, in terms of if we're talking

619
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: about you know, um advanced dance yards gained after close,

620
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: this guy was one of the the best in terms

621
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: of running backs UM yards gained after close. A great

622
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: explosive athlete Melvin Gordon whose metrics were not great. Um,

623
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: but you know he's still there. He's obviously the lead guy.

624
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: The reason I really like Austin Neckler going into and uh,

625
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: I won't speak to Adam, right, but the reason I

626
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: really like him, um is the fact that if something

627
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: were to happen to Melvin Gordon, maybe he misses a

628
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: couple of games. Give me Austin Ekeler all day long,

629
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: not saying that he's gonna be and every down workhorse guy.

630
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: He'll have a huge role, but he will have a

631
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: huge role. And again, just that explosive athleticism give me

632
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,239
Speaker 1: Austin Neckler in terms of being a sleeper. I just,

633
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: I just I don't know that I could spend a

634
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: draft pick on a guy hoping that someone else you

635
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: just took the seventh round, but I didn't think but

636
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: I didn't do what I did that Jordan Howar's gonna

637
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: get hurt. Like the idea like this say did the

638
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: three con hasn't roll within the offense even with Jordan

639
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: Howard still being there. I mean, awesome, he had he

640
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: had seventy four touches last year, touches Like I'm gonna

641
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: need somebody to give me a heads up that he's

642
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,239
Speaker 1: gonna get more opportunity than that otherwise than I mean,

643
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: I like his ability. So this is you know, this

644
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: is like, this is like when I go to the store.

645
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: If I go to the store and they're like, you know,

646
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: we're selling these things too for three dollars and the

647
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: unit prices better, I'm like, yeah, but the one is

648
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: just like a buck fifty. Like I'm looking at the total,

649
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: not the per unit opportunity for for him like the

650
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: all his metrics are great, that's awesome, but when he

651
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: still gives you a grand total of five hundred and

652
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: thirty nine yards and two touchdowns, like, that's not doing

653
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: anything for me. I get you, I get you. I mean,

654
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean sorry, three touchdown three we had five. Wow,

655
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: that's actually bigger number than I thought. I think. Well,

656
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: he had one punt return to Dinny. I think so.

657
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever bottom line is, Um, it's interesting, well,

658
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: because look, Terrie Cohen, obviously it's going to have a

659
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: rule in that offense. But again we're not sure, right,

660
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: we're not. We're speculating that I feel more comfortable with

661
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: his opportunity than mostly because we've seen it well to

662
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: your point, mostly because Jordan Howard can't catch. So no,

663
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, they need to get somebody somewhat versus Melvin Gordon,

664
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: who actually is pretty effective. No, exactly, And so that's

665
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: kind of where I understand what Marcus is saying, uh,

666
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: in terms of, hey, listen, the price needs to go

667
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: down for Austin Ekeler, which is which I totally agree with.

668
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: I would never take Austin you know, top ten picks.

669
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: I love him in the double digit round. I had

670
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: him in my queue when I was doing that mock

671
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: last night. Just missed him. Next on this list, Marlin Mac,

672
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: I feel like talked about him. Yeah, we have so,

673
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 1: like I go back to the fourth on Marlon Max,

674
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: I'm not we got to see how he comes from

675
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury and this like and that piece was

676
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: writing that should it will be out later today. You

677
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: can find an NFL dot Com slash are the Colts

678
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: are one of those backfields because there are going to

679
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: be fantasy points to be had in that backfield. Frank Gore,

680
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: what do you think Frank or finished at last year season?

681
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: Then fantasy rankings like fantasy rankings top twenty. He was,

682
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: He was the RB eighteen and standard in the RB

683
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: nineteen in PPR despite the fact that like he was

684
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: on objectively abysmal offense and it was thirty four years

685
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: old here. So if one of these young guys can

686
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: come in and take the reins in Indianapolis, what does

687
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: that tell you about Marla Mac If he couldn't take

688
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: the rains, that's true, that's true, that's true. So I

689
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: mean he's got another year of practice. They've got a

690
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: new offensive mind there in Frank Reich the Eagles, which

691
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: also could leave me to believe that this might be

692
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: more of a committee. We'll see, but anyways, Marlam accertently

693
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: named a circle. So too are nieheim Hines and Jordan

694
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: Wilkins in the later rounds, right, Marlon mack Is climbing

695
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: up in the like, isn't like six seventh round. That's

696
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: where I'm saying no, and the other two like, that's

697
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: where I'm saying. I just took Jordan Wilkins in like

698
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: the thirteenth round yesterday, He's like, my RB five, just

699
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: throw a dark like maybe he wins it out. If

700
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't, Yeah, you know what I mean. In that

701
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: in that range, I just can't do do it with Marlin.

702
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just too much man. In that range,

703
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: you can get a lot. You can get like Dion Lewis,

704
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: Alex Collins, Um. I'm trying to think of who else

705
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: went in that wrong. Who I'd rather have. Lots of

706
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 1: really good guys, but the offensive sleep on Dean Lewis.

707
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: This year, people going to be good. Adam rank Uh

708
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: liked Marlon mack Is. He said, quote He's a huge

709
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: winner in the draft of the draft on Night one,

710
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: the Colts made a smart move with Quentin Nelson, the

711
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: the offensive guard there from Notre Dame. Um, who I

712
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: think we had? Who do we have? Oh? We had

713
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: Doug ferrar Um on this podcast? Who's who was so

714
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: hyper about Quentin Nelson said he's the best player in

715
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: the draft. Best player in the draft. He said, this

716
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: guy has the potential to be a ten time pro bowler.

717
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: So um, So there you go, um, And then you

718
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: think about you know, Jack Muhart who I thought was

719
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: a good player, Ryan Kelly coming back at center, You

720
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: think he's going to be healthy. You think, um, yet

721
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 1: to be seen obviously, but obviously a highly regarded player there.

722
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: And then Brandon Smith as well. The Colts offensive line

723
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: at least has a chance to be so vastly improved. Um,

724
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: just with health and through the draft. That is why, um,

725
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: folks are getting a little bit excited about Marlon Mack.

726
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: But that being said, that being said, six or seventh

727
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: round though, so it's a bactly we gotta wait and see,

728
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: and that is way too rich for my blood. If

729
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: Mac hits, that's that's totally worth But like there's too

730
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: many question marks and too many risks associated with that pick,

731
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: and especially in that six seventh round, there's a lot

732
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: of good players hanging around in that range. And it

733
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, Um was it? J J Zachariesa who called

734
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: him baby Tryna started that late round QB on Twitter

735
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: number fire and Adam Rank is going with the Kenny

736
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: g Moniker, which which you know, I don't hate it,

737
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: playing that sweet jazz music you know. Uh this is

738
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: from Adam Enikes peace quote. Golliday was a polarizing figure

739
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: heading into last season. Anybody who watched him was smitten,

740
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 1: but history has shown not many receivers made a huge

741
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: impact during their rookie season. Uh dot dot dot dot dot.

742
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: So there you go. Um, he's gonna obviously fight for

743
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: targets with Golden Taton Marvin Jones ahead of him, but

744
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: he has the makeup of an elite number one receiver

745
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: and could be worth a gamble late in your drafts.

746
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: Per Adam right, I think the case for Goladay this

747
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: year is one, Uh, there are targets that are gonna

748
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: be up for grabs in the Detroit offense because they

749
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: really don't have a tight end like that's gonna merit

750
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: Brown Erkie Brown's gone, He's in Indianapolis, and they didn't

751
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: really address the position in the draft or free agency,

752
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: so that frees up I mean laugh at Ericy Brown

753
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: in his quoteun with drops we want. Dude had eighties

754
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: six targets, was third on the team last year, so

755
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: that's a lot, and Golladay had forty eight. So like,

756
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 1: even if they give another tight end, say forty targets

757
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: and some trickle elsewhere, and Gollada takes in another thirty

758
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: plus to that might be worth a flex shot. Uh.

759
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: You know, so he certainly named a circle and he

760
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: got injured halfway through the season as well. He caught

761
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in Week one and then everybody picked. He

762
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: didn't do anything for a couple of weeks, and then

763
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: he injured his hamstring and disappeared for a long and

764
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: that's when Marvin Jones emerged. Yes, um, But also the

765
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: case for Gola Day too is not only is there

766
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: a situation where you could see him coming into his

767
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: own as like the third option in this passing attack,

768
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: but uh, in the event that Marvin Jones are Golden

769
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: Tate went down Gotta Days stepping right into their huge target.

770
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: It's one of those clearest, clearest paths where and you

771
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: obviously never want to wish injury on somebody, but like,

772
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: he's a player who has already been established in the offense.

773
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: We know his talent, and in the event of an injury,

774
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: he's locked in right away. And you know, good quarterback

775
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: running game still pretty suspect. I mean, good offense overall. Yeah,

776
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: good offense overall, even though they haven't been able to

777
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: run the ball effectively. But I do think Lagret Blunt

778
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: will add them to ability there. And the first two

779
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: picks in the draft they both made to basically address

780
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: the running game. They took Frank right Now in the

781
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: first round, who many viewed as the best center uh

782
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: in the draft, and then they went and got carry

783
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: On Johnson, who was the feature back at Auburn. So

784
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: they've got options between the tackles now with Blunt and Johnson,

785
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: something they did not have in the past. We did

786
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: not mention this in news, although I guess it could

787
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: be a little bit newsworthy. It was the fact that

788
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: a mirror Abdullah could be the odd man out uh

789
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: there in that Detroit backfield. He's got a long shot

790
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: to make that roster right exactly, even though despite the

791
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: high pedigree in terms of the draft price. But it's

792
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: Lagarre Blunt who they signed a free agency, they draft

793
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: to carry on Johnson and of course still have theoretic

794
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: who also has been amazing as a Passketra Dayne Washington,

795
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: Tian Green Zack Center. So if they want to keep

796
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: somebody else as a fullback or or somebody who adds

797
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: more on special teams, that will be a mirrors path

798
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: honestly to the roster. And it's getting a little far

799
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: afield from fantasy. But as like a returner, because he's

800
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: done return stuff past. That's right, That's right. He was

801
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: pretty good at Nebraska there, so there you go. Um,

802
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: mark he's good. One is another name that Adam Rink

803
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: is highlighted. Um. I don't know, I just kind of

804
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 1: want to gloss over some of these. Um. The one

805
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: that I liked was Chargers d ST Um because you

806
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: hardly ever, you don't talk about a lot of you know,

807
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: D defenses, fantasy defenses, even on a fantasy podcast, we

808
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: hardly ever talked about defenses. Um. That being said, I

809
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: like the fact that Adam Rank added the Chargers DST because, again,

810
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: a lot of folks man. I mean, they're gonna go

811
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: crazy drafting the Rams, They're gonna go Jaguars and the

812
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: Vikings too. Is another big name defense that you're gonna

813
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: see go pretty early. In terms of value though, Chargers DST.

814
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be really good. Yeah, no, no,

815
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: no doubt. I mean the pieces they added, getting you know,

816
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: getting through in James. They were a top unit last

817
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: year too, getting the chin of you Noosu to put

818
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: in that, to put in the defense they had. I mean,

819
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: so now you you had that to Joey Bosa and

820
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: that's you know, you've got a great pass rush and

821
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: a great secondary. That's what Normally one helps the other.

822
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: But if you're phenomenal at both, that's what I'm saying,

823
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: watch out. I mean, I like it again, this is

824
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: per Adam Rake's piece. Well, they were gifted Derwin James,

825
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: the top ten talent who felt all the way to them.

826
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: The Chargers might have the best secondary in the NFL.

827
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 1: That's a hot dake um and they are going to

828
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: be one of the top fantasy dst s this season.

829
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: Don't sleep well if you go full secondary. I think

830
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: he might be you could make a strong case for Chargers,

831
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: but just pure cornerback tandem. That's Jacksonville. Jack's I mean,

832
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: but it's Jacksonville. And again I mean, aren't there aren't

833
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: the Rams right there? The Rams are good. They just

834
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: assembled all those pieces though, so we kind of need

835
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: to see how they come together. But Wade Phillips is

836
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Help the Key has played in

837
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: the Wade system before too, and Marcus Peters is getting

838
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: a fresh start and one can see. So yeah, the

839
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: Rams are certainly in that mix. But like I mean, man,

840
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: the depth and talent in that. I love the Chargers secondary.

841
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: I love the depth. I mean, if you have to,

842
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: like you know, most teams play primarily like Nickel these days.

843
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: And is there a better like start to finish Nickel

844
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: secondary than the Chargers in the NFL right now? I

845
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: don't think so. Okay, okay, alright, you guys are getting

846
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: me hyped on it. I like you you know who else?

847
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: If I can just throw a couple more names in

848
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: for sleeper defenses, because I'm always of an advocate of

849
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: don't take a defense until like the last two rounds.

850
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: Uh so you'll miss out on the Jags and those people,

851
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: but circle the Saints. Circle the Lions to the Saints

852
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: for a sneakily good defense last year the Lions. Yeah,

853
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: you think about it, They've got some they've got some

854
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: good talent, and they just added Matt Patricia head. That's

855
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: you know, that's a defense that I've been eyeing in

856
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: drafts because you know, especially when you're doing maks and

857
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: you have the auto draft, a lot of those those

858
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: defenses off the board earlier. The lines have been one

859
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: that have caught my eye very late in draft so

860
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: far in mocks. That's interesting. That's a Week one opponent

861
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders too, Week two opponent Jets. We then they

862
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: get pat It's but also, like I'm a big advocate

863
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: of streaming defenses, so lots of times you want to

864
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: look at a defense that people might be overlooking that

865
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: is a good Week one or two matchup, and I like,

866
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: they're at I think they're are they at there at

867
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders and then home versus the defence and and

868
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: realistically what you're saying here too is you know, you

869
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: take a defense in the fifteenth or let's say you

870
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: take it in the fourteenth thrond. Let's say you take

871
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: Detroit in the fourteenth threat. You're not holding on to

872
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: this defense? No, I mean there's no way, because I

873
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: was just about I was just kind of, you know,

874
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: a defense you can stick with. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

875
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 1: You know, Vikings, I think you could stick with you know, Rams,

876
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,919
Speaker 1: obviously Jags. So there's there's you know, four or five

877
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: defenses that I feel pretty good about. But you know,

878
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: um Detroit, that's something in Chicago. Chicago's in the defense

879
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: to circle. They've they've been adding a lot of players

880
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: of Vig Fangio is there. It's I think the third

881
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: year of him as their d C now had he

882
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: had a history of really good fantasy defenses in um

883
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: San San Francisco most recently, so I think that's a

884
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: good misty. But just while we're on the topic of

885
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: def its. Per Fantasy Football Calculator, the top ones off

886
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: the board are naturally Jacksonville, Rams, Minnesota, Philly, Houston, Philly,

887
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: then the Chargers Baltimore another goodmin a circle. I think

888
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 1: the Denver defense is getting way overrated right now fantasy.

889
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 1: But then New Orleans at nine, son and a couple.

890
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: Where are the Chargers six? Six? Okay, that sound, um,

891
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: And in the in the draft order, the Eagles, Texans

892
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: and Chargers are all going in the span of about

893
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: nine picks, so they're kind of lumped together at adp view. Okay,

894
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: so there you go. Um. If you'd like to read

895
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: the entire Ranks eleven Sleeper column, go to the website

896
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Fantasy Football or NFL dot com

897
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: slash Rank. Also a tease. Ranks going to have a

898
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: new version coming out in a couple of weeks when

899
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: we launched the Draft kit in early June, so stay tuned. Hey,

900
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 1: there you go, Um, Alex Gillard, did you want to

901
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: give us a little little little teaser on your little bit? Well, sure,

902
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm covering the seven most intriguing backfields because, as we

903
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: all know, workhorse backs are kind of a thing of

904
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: the past. We have a few, you know, that are

905
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: hanging around nowadays. But typically in fantasy you have to

906
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: find talented role players and you know, rotate them through

907
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: your lineup on a week TWEK basis. So I look

908
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: at seven backfields that I find the most intriguing because

909
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: there should be fantasy points to be had within those backfields,

910
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: but whether because there is uh no clear starter or

911
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: an open competition or you know, a lot of moving pieces.

912
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: We don't know the certainty. So the backfields are here.

913
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: What Here's what I'll do. I'll throw you guys the

914
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: seven backfields and we can maybe talk about one or

915
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: two that are curious. The Packers, Packers, the Lions, Lions,

916
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens, which is probably the most clear cut on here.

917
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: The Browns, the Colts, the Patriots, and the Jets and

918
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: the Jets. All right, okay, the I mean do we

919
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: I know, I know this was a running gag last year,

920
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: never Jets, but I mean this which blew up in

921
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: all of our faces, I know, because but no the yeah,

922
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, but really though this Jets backfield, I just

923
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: I can't see myself drafting them both. They're coming at

924
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: a steep discount, both Powell and crow L and uh,

925
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: they have rawls, but rawles feels like a long shot

926
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 1: to make the team or get significant work that paid

927
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: Corol decent money. Uh. And you look at this offense

928
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: to their getting. They've got some sneaky talent on the outside,

929
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: and these are guys that you can get. I think

930
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: Isaiah Cowell went in the ninth round of that mock

931
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: I just did eight. The twelfth pick of the eighth

932
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: round is where Isaiah Crowl went in a twelve team mock.

933
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: That's not bad. That's not bad. And he was about

934
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,439
Speaker 1: he was about the RB thirty last year in both

935
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 1: standard m PPR and that was with Hugh Jackson refusing

936
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: to give him consistent touches. So the Jets have made

937
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: it clear they want Balal Powell to still be in

938
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: a complimentary role, and he had a good year last

939
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: year both on the ground and through the air. But

940
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: you could see it, You could tell yourself a story

941
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: where Crowell and Powell are a pretty like reasonable backfield

942
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: tandem that give you nice fleck up flex upside on

943
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: a week to week basis. Plus they have good weapons

944
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: on the outside. They've got Josh McCown coming back and

945
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: then Sam possibly under center, so some more stability. I think.

946
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a backfield that we shouldn't overlook, and

947
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: especially right now it's coming at such a such a

948
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: discount like it's it's great, great value to get in

949
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: the ninth tenth round. I feel like we've talked about

950
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: the Packers backfield. We have a lot at nausea. But

951
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: I think it's you know again, it's one of those

952
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: teams that people aren't interested in. Of course, when you've

953
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: got Aaron Rodgers coming back, it's going to be a

954
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: high you would imagine it's going to be a high

955
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: scoring offense as well. Aaron Jones, Jamal Williams Uh the

956
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: projected uh tandem there in the Green Bay backfield. Um,

957
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 1: now that you've done a little bit more digging, Alex

958
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: skillharor well, keen to tell us about it. I mean,

959
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: if they the Packers have been very good about not

960
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 1: tipping their hand at all as to who they think

961
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: might be the preferred back might be, whether it's gonna

962
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: be a comedy or not. However, one thing I found

963
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: interesting is that they have brought Joe Philbin back as

964
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, and in his nine years as an offensive

965
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: coordinator head coach, he's had a back received fifty five

966
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: plus percent of the carries in eight of those nine

967
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: years inter and six of those backs also led the

968
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: backfield and targets, which kind of speaks towards primarily featured back.

969
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: You know, if your backs getting like six of the

970
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: backfield opportunities, which if you lead it in targets and

971
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: the carries. That's going to be the case. That's kind

972
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: of a featured back. So eight of Philbin's nine years,

973
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: he's pretty much had a true featured back. So that

974
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: that's something that leads me to believe that one of

975
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: these guys will win it out. My money is still

976
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: gonna be on Aaron Jones because I just think he

977
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: was the most explosive, but it could also it could

978
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: be Jamal Williams because he was consistent. He carried that

979
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: offense during the Brett Hunley roller coaster um and he

980
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: has been He's proven to be the most secure in

981
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: past protection and as we all know, keeping number twelve

982
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: upright of the utmost important bambo. Yeah interesting man um

983
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: uh man. I want to believe in Aaron Jones, and

984
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,479
Speaker 1: I love the athleticism of course that pops out on tape.

985
00:49:55,520 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 1: But boy, it's just it's hard to invest in either

986
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 1: one of those guys. I'm definitely not gonna invest Jamal

987
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: Williams period. That's just that's just not gonna happen, mostly

988
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: because let's say he wins the job. I mean, am

989
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: I I mean really, I just I can't handle watching

990
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: this guy run for three yards and then you're falling down. Well,

991
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: the benefit is he's gonna be running for the first

992
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: time really in an offense with Aaron Rodgers under center,

993
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: which will open things up more. And uh, you know

994
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: this backfield. These three backs combined for fourteen touchdowns last year.

995
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: So if one of these guys they split it up

996
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: six four four, which is a damn nightmare for fantasy.

997
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: But if one of these guys, you know, takes hold

998
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: of that workload, you're looking at easily a thousand total

999
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve total yards and like eight touchdowns. So

1000
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: we just have to watch closely, all right, so that

1001
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: that piece coming out later today, later today, later today,

1013
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: a whiskit from Wisconsin Alex Gellhard. What are you got?

1014
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: Daily dap hit me? Uh, daily DAPs to Deadpool too?

1015
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: It last weekend. It was great, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Also,

1016
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: daily DAPs to the trail run. I did the Malibu

1017
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: Creek two k. If you're into trail running, this is

1018
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: a monster of a course. It's very challenging, ferry rewarding,

1019
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: very fun. Be sure to do a lot of elevation

1020
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: training beforehand, though, because I finally today after running this

1021
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday, no longer feel sore in my legs. It legitimately,

1022
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: it took me like three days to fully recover. The

1023
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: courses about fourteen miles um and there is a total

1024
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: elevation climb of about feet and you start out with

1025
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: most of that in the first uh six miles. You

1026
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,439
Speaker 1: start out with a nice little kind of like rolling

1027
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,479
Speaker 1: hills situation for the first two and then it's four

1028
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: miles of like at a forty five degree grade. So

1029
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: most people have to walk that chunk and they even

1030
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: all the race organizers are like like what They're like,

1031
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: walk it, like you'll you'll feel better because after that,

1032
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: after you get to the top of that climb, you

1033
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: got eight more miles to go, So that doesn't make

1034
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: sense to run up it and like burn yourself out

1035
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 1: and then try to run the last eight miles. So

1036
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: it was an awesome race though. And then uh final

1037
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: daily depths to the Brooklyn nine nine season finale. Uh,

1038
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: since it got picked up, there's another season coming. But

1039
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: I finally watched the season finale last night. Really enjoyed it.

1040
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: Not gonna say anything to spoil it for anybody, but

1041
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good, good fitting end to

1042
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: the season and I'm excited to see where they go

1043
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: in season six. MG, my guy, Marcus Grant. I'm gonna

1044
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 1: double down on the Deadpool too, because it is great. Uh.

1045
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: You know, if you go see it, keep an eye

1046
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: on for some really fun cameos cameo. Um. Also, and

1047
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,919
Speaker 1: I know I'm way super late on this. I finally

1048
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 1: saw Hamilton's so that's the I did. I saw it

1049
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: over the weekend. It's fantastically Yeah, so I think I'm

1050
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 1: one of the few people in America who had somehow

1051
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: avoided the soundtrack like never less, so I didn't learn.

1052
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: You know, obviously I knew it was super popular, and

1053
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: I knew the theme and all kind of stuff, but

1054
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: like I hadn't really heard the music. So I got

1055
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: in there. It was. It was fantastic. It is, so

1056
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: if you've got a chance to go see it wherever

1057
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: you live, it's worth getting in a car and driving

1058
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 1: to your nearest metropolis if you were you know, not nearby,

1059
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: but it was. It was fantastic. Baby, there you go.

1060
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: I can't recommend, sorry, I just can't recommend Hamilton's enough

1061
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: to because like it's hard to get them tickets. It

1062
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: is hard to get It's expanding into a lot of places.

1063
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 1: So if you live like in the Midwest, it has

1064
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: a permanent residence right now in Chicago, just a little

1065
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: easier to get tickets for because it's there every weekend,

1066
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: But like in the places where it's rotating, yes, it's

1067
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: a lot harder to get tickets. But I haven't seen

1068
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: it yet. I just can't. I just can't speak highly

1069
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: enough about it because it's so original and it's the

1070
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: music is phenomenal, but it's Also it's a story about

1071
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: American history, and it's it's incredible. It's just like the

1072
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: fact that he Lin Manuel Miranda had that idea. He

1073
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: was reading a huge biography of Alexander Hamilton' was like, man,

1074
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: this reminds me of like rap music. Right, I'm gonna

1075
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a hip hop musical about the Founding Father.

1076
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: It's so good, the lyrics and the story. I mean,

1077
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's phenomenal. Like you've watched it. You've

1078
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: watched it once now, but so when you listen to

1079
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: the soundtrack again, you'll go back and you'll hear chunks

1080
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: of lines You're like, yeah, I didn't find God. Like

1081
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 1: the rhymes and the flow and the structure he builds.

1082
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: You're like, that is incredible, incredible, incredible, Um, what is it?

1083
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: What is it like to live in that that man's head? Imagine?

1084
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: Wildly creative, He's so good, wildly creative. He's so good.

1085
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: I think he oversaw the music and or did a

1086
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: lot of the music for Mowanna and he wrote he

1087
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: got nominated for the Oscar for writing Uh how far

1088
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: All Go? I mean, and he oversaw a lot of

1089
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: the music. Other the other pieces in that film. Well,

1090
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: but it's just how do you do Hambleton? You do

1091
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: the rapping, then you go and do a Disney's Children.

1092
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like he's so good. I had

1093
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: a great story in an interview with him where he

1094
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: was talking about when he was like, this is how

1095
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: his like brain works. But like he was he lives

1096
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: in New York and he was on the train to

1097
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: a friend's birthday party and on the train he had

1098
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: one line of a lyric pop into his head and

1099
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, it was from Wait for Marcus

1100
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: and it popped in his head and he's like, oh,

1101
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: oh God. And then he got there and he went

1102
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: up and he said when his friend he shook his hand,

1103
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: is like happy birthday. I'm so sorry, but I have

1104
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: to go write a song. And he went back on

1105
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: the train, went home and wrote the song, which is

1106
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: one of the best best songs in the musical. Look

1107
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: at this guy, so like that's just like that's his

1108
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: He's on a different level than like he is like

1109
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: that the brain explosion meme, that's just like him at

1110
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: all times. And we're all over here just you know,

1111
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: banging banging rocks together. That's amazing. Producer Christina, what you get?

1112
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 1: What's up? Um? I was never a big hiker before

1113
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: I moved to l A. This past weekend had a

1114
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: low key weekend since it's a long weekend this coming.

1115
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 1: Uh So I went hiking in Malibu on Saturday. And

1116
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,879
Speaker 1: it's gorgeous. I mean, if once it gets warm out,

1117
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: I recommend hiking definitely in Malibu too because you get

1118
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: to see the water because you're hiking like up the mountain.

1119
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: It's awesome. All right, there you go. Um speaking of water,

1120
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: I was in Hawaii, uh through the weekend, Okay, dodging, dodging, dodging,

1121
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 1: hot rocks, Fames co over here, surfing on we went

1122
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: with the fans. We went to Maui uh stayed over there.

1123
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: It was it was very very nice, very beautiful. It

1124
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: took some great pictures. Um My, my daughter enjoyed it.

1125
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: She actually enjoyed. This is the thing when you're four

1126
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: and you go to a place like Malue and spend

1127
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: a just a boatload of money on stupid stuff. She

1128
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: really liked making sand castles and she just wanted to

1129
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: make sand castles. That's literally like you can to this.

1130
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: You could do any weekend at home. Yes, we live

1131
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: in Redonda, the same just because we tried to take

1132
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: her in the water. In the water, I mean, the

1133
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: water is awesome. And I actually did paddle boarding for

1134
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: the first time this weekend and uh, I crushed it.

1135
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: Just f y I but uh but yeah, I mean,

1136
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: so I tried to take my kid into the water,

1137
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: and you know, she liked to get her foot in there.

1138
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: But she's also a giant scaredy cat, so she is

1139
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: scared of a lot of stuff, and she thought the

1140
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: water was too scary, so she went to go back

1141
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: and just build sand castles. And that's what we did.

1142
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: We did that for like, I don't know, too many hours.

1143
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, we spent a lot of money

1144
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: to for to bring you out here and make some

1145
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: damn sand castles. And it was but but no, it was.

1146
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun and us the first

1147
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: time I had been to MAUI um did a lot.

1148
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, we did some hiking too, so it was cool. Man.

1149
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: We we just we had a good time. But daily

1150
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: dapts to you know, the whole family. U We we

1151
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: all went out there. It was me, my wife, the kiddo,

1152
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: my mom was there and my sister was there. You

1153
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: know what the story is. It's it's sort of like

1154
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: when you buy your kid, like you know, a giant

1155
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: video game system or something. You buy them a new

1156
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: Xbox or PlayStation, Like they're excited about it, but I

1157
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: think they spend the most time playing with is like

1158
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: the two dollar or whatever that you like through in

1159
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: their stocking. That reminds me of one of my favorite

1160
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: jokes from Modern Family. I haven't watched the last several seasons,

1161
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: but I watched it religiously the first few is they

1162
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: were talking about their youngest kid, Luke. They're like, every year,

1163
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: no matter what we got him, he would play with

1164
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: the box more than the toy. So finally one year

1165
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: we got him a box and put it in a

1166
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: big plastic bag. He played with the bag all day.

1167
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: I love it all right. So that's the show for

1168
