Speaker 1: Alex Gelhar. For some reason, people think we have beef.

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Well, yeah, that was a funny

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: thing on Twitter. It's just you know, in fantasy there

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: are differing opinions, and right now you and I are

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: differing on some opinions and some players. I'm just I'm

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: waiting till the end of the season when my opinions

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: are proven very good. I like it. Marcus Gray MG

11

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: appreciate that. But you don't understand the plight of a

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: blue eyed gentleman and how bright lights like in the

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: studio right here, how the plight of a blue eyed gentleman,

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: how the light can play havoc. I think it was

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: Josh Hamilton's who famously said that the day games in

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: Texas were killing him because of his blue eyes. That

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: sounds like that sounds like some sort of emo nineties

22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god of a blue eye. Thank you. It's

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: really not cool alright at all. Hey, let's let's get

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: right into it. Man, we're trying to burn through this.

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: Oh by the way, Uh, it's our obviously, as you know,

26

00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna be going to switching over to now twice a

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: week format. Does that mean I don't have to be

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: here next week? Um? No, that would mean you have.

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: You would actually have to be here twice as many

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: times as you are. I know, a big shot like you,

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: you like to come in on your helicopter and your

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: private drivers takes you. Look, I get it, okay, But

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: you're the one who has an uber coming here three

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: Corolla but no roof. But but I have a uber

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: because my right shoulder is non operational. Some big difference?

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: How is that? You can't I can't drive? I mean

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: I can drive now, It's it's five weeks out. I

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: could drive now. But I'm just saying when I was

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: taking the uber in, It's not like I'm sitting here

41
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: like fabs rock bar. Okay, I don't just take the

42
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: uber or have a private driver just because. Alright, alright,

43
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: let's get the top top headlines. Let's do it. The

44
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: camera highlights in the world of sport, breaking breaking news, breaking,

45
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: continue to follow, breaking news news, your wife, all right,

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: of course. The top headline in the fantasy and real

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: football continues to be mar Tavis Bryant facing a four

48
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: game suspension um for his violation allegedly of this uh,

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: the NFL drug policy, and that, according to NFL media

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: insider Ian Rappaport, I gloss this guy in my march

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: to eleven hundred, guy, mar Tavis Bryant. Mart Tavis Bryant,

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Am I still being held that? First of all? Yeah,

53
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: first of all, absolutely, and now that predictions up and smoke,

54
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm really I'm going to be held to that rank.

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: Just wants to see you in high he It's not

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: like listen, that's part of the thing. You can't put

57
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: qualifiers on this. Why you said he's gonna have I

58
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: enough to let you, let you slide on this and

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: let you get a do over. But you know I don't.

60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm not the only vote. But everybody knew this was coming.

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: Why do you think this everybody knew this was coming.

62
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Everyone did not know this was coming, are you? This

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: is why the Steelers were talking up Marcus Wheaton so

64
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: much during the preseason. Ben Roethlisberger was like, yeah, this

65
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: guy looks great like a lot of people, don't you

66
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: talk to people in the building and come up like

67
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: they say, oh, yeah, like there's this. We can't say

68
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: it until it happens. That's well, that's part of the

69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: problem of working behind the shield is that we can't

70
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: let anybody know. And okay, okay, that's fine. You had

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: no idea that Martevis Bryant was going to be suspended

72
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: four games. It might get the fight, it doesn't matter. Hey, listen,

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna appeal. He's he's gonna appeal. We do know this, Uh,

74
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: it may get knocked down a game, maybe two games

75
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: at most. We're not even get a knocked down from

76
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: two to one. Two, yes, three to two, So whatever.

77
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what's gonna happen more with more

78
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Tavis Bryan but mark to eleven hundred. Clearly in Jeffrey,

79
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: we might have to put this one to a vote. Well,

80
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: we'll we'll put there's no vote, there's a vote. This

81
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: has got plenty of time to still get even. Yeah,

82
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: he's look a look at these look guys. When when

83
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: he came into the line up last year, he sparked

84
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh off Shore our research team had some things

85
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: like they had seventy more pat Rothsburg, seveny more passing

86
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: yards per game, they were scoring more per game, they're

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: scoring more touchdowns. Like when he comes back, he is

88
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: once again going to be a focal point of that

89
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: offense and he still has a good chance. I think

90
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: it's a saucier bet now and you should stand by it.

91
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, you know what, um, we'll figure

92
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: it out. We'll figure it out, all right. Preseason we're

93
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: trying to get out of it once for the second

94
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: consecutive year, you're trying to get out of it. How

95
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: you try to back out on nuke? No? I did not.

96
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: Did you know that was you? Pal? How did I

97
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: see you roped me? Because I know because he crushed

98
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: eleven yards so fast. I was like, hey, let's still

99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: give the viewers a little something. I'll bump it up

100
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: to twelve hundred. Should have been you, but you should

101
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: have been the one I bumped it up to twelve hundred.

102
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: But you should have been on the cook for wearing

103
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: the heell like I had nothing to do with it.

104
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm an innocent vice. You just got roped in. It's true. Look,

105
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: that's a story for a different time, a different podcast.

106
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Maybe next week when we have four time alright, preseason

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: week three storylines to watch for. Um, obviously with Jordy Nelson,

108
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: got a lot of folks are gonna be seen, Um,

109
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: how well Davante Adams is gonna be doing? You know

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: where do they mix in guys like Jeff Jannison? How

111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: many more targets is a guy like Randall Cobb gonna have? Um,

112
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant to ask you this, look, I reached, I

113
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: truly do. But if I reached for Davante Adams in

114
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: our NFL Fantasy Live Experts League, I took him in

115
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: the fifth round, early in the fifth I know it

116
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: was a reach, and yet the reaction in the room

117
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 1: was still a collective grown um in the fifth round

118
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: too high for for a guy like Davanta Adams, because

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 1: I knew he wasn't gonna come back to six. That's

120
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: that's his price now. I mean, that's the asking price

121
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: for DeVante Adams. So because I have been on record

122
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: saying the last couple of weeks, go out and get

123
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: your guy, no matter where you gotta take him, that's

124
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: now the asking price. My question to you, is you

125
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: not an interesting Time Montgomery's name? Is that just simply

126
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: an oversighter that because of his alma mater. It's a

127
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: cal Stanford beef. Good. I hadn't thought about that, And

128
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: it's a cal Stanford beef, no doubt. But no, look,

129
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: hey man, once these guys come to the league, I

130
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: root for all PAC twelve guys. Um. I really like

131
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: Time ount Gomery a lot. I think he's got a

132
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: ways to go to learn the offense and to become

133
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: a more complete m wide receiver. But no, I think

134
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: he's got tremendous upside, just not this particular year. I

135
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: think this is the year, uh that we actually see

136
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: Davante Adams really come to his own. May I offer

137
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: a suggestion when you're doing your draft this weekend and

138
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: ours was on Thursday, don't draft a kicker or defense

139
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: and use one of those two spots for somebody like Time.

140
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: Like Time Montgomery might go a little bit sooner. But

141
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: I know in our NFL Fantasy Live league, I took

142
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: Jeff Janis for the express reason that if he comes

143
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: out and it's like, oh wow, this guy is really

144
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: going to be the number three, that I'll hang on

145
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: to him. If they don't play him at all and

146
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't look like he's gonna get much playing time, boom,

147
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: I'll cut him in Week one Saturday and pick up

148
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Sea Bass, which is what you do. It's so funny, Loss.

149
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: It's cool of the league to that, Like, nobody picks

150
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: up Sea Bass. So it's it's pretty much a giveness

151
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: because he's not very good relative to other professional kickers. League.

152
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: That's that's only your opinion and based on points which

153
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: are irrelevant. Um, Eagles like that, you're kind of fat

154
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: shaming him for that. Alright, Listen the Eagles running back situation.

155
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: We with DeMarco Murray obviously coming off of a year

156
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: where he carried the rock about nine hundred times. Um,

157
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: how much will they use him? We were talking about

158
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: it on the show today. You know, Akbarne Elliott seemed

159
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: to think that, you know, he's gonna get north of

160
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: to fifty in terms of touches I'm just not sure.

161
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sold on that number. That being said, I

162
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: still think even if you were to get anywhere between

163
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: two twenty and two thirty, Uh, he's a great value

164
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: running back because you're seeing him go mid to late

165
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: second round. Yeah, that's the two fifty touches. I mean,

166
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: depending on how often he gets in the passing game.

167
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: With Sprowles there as well and all their great wide receivers,

168
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: that might be a tad high. Especially because why we

169
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: were talking with the storyline now is last week when

170
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: he finally got into the preseason, him and Ryan Matthews

171
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: both got wrong with the first team fold score touchdown,

172
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: so it could very likely be more of a very

173
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: profitable committee they both could succeed. But you're right, Um,

174
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: I feel just much more comfortable with him in the

175
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: RB two workload. But I mean you could see him

176
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: if he gets to touches being in RB one again.

177
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is the Eagles are

178
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna score a lot of points. I mean they have well,

179
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: they run a lot of plays. There seems to be

180
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities there. Elliott made a great point.

181
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: Even if he gets two hundred carries, if he's averaging

182
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: five yards to carry. Not bad. Uh, And you gotta

183
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: think if he is doing that um and and he

184
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: does get two hundred carries, how many touchdowns is that

185
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: translate into? You know, he's gonna be pushing double digits?

186
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: Eight nine, ten sounds awfully reasonable for a lead back

187
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: in an Eagles backfield. Yeah, when you start getting late

188
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: into the RB two category with guys like Freddie Morris

189
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: who yields a lot of touchdown looks to the guys

190
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: playing behind him, what's the difference and de Marco Murray

191
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: is playing in a better offense, more dynamic, more opportunities

192
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: to put up points. So I like Murray. I like

193
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: Matthews super late to like I. He's one of those

194
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: guys like the load up on the running backs later on,

195
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: where you just start picking guys up one after another.

196
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: And unfortunately I missed out on Ryan Matthews in our

197
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live league. But that's a great value and

198
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: somebody who's gonna come in and steal some touches. He's

199
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a good flex guy going forward this seasons.

200
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but Akbar actually had I mean,

201
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: he had a great draft. He really did. He got

202
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: to Marco at the very very end of the second round.

203
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: It's great values. So I mean, really, how is weird

204
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: to say? Though there are some other questions, how many?

205
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: How many carries? Do we really think that Marco Murray

206
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: is gonna get? Um? Right? So he's getting two d

207
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: which is fine, which is about where I think he

208
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: gets this year. But let's go back last year. Lamar

209
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: Miller was a guy that went off the board and

210
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: liked them. What the fifth round in a lot of

211
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: league that the Marco Murray or Lamar Miller had just

212
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: over two hundred carries last year. So while all of

213
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: a sudden now is de Marco Murray is suddenly a

214
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: value with this into the second round? What do you

215
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: say to get that same number of carries? The same

216
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: number of carries? But you know, it's what he can

217
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: do with them. And also, and I would also say this,

218
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: we know, looky look, Lamar Miller last year average? Am

219
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: I wrong to say this? Five? So he made the

220
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: most of it in a Bill Layser offense, which by

221
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: the way, is very similar to Jim Kelly's offense. But

222
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: I think scoring opportunity, I think there's just more scoring

223
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: opportunities maybe, And and I like the Eagles offense. I'm

224
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: big on Jordan Matthews, Nelson Aghalore, all these guys here.

225
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: But let's also keep in mind this is not Oregon

226
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: thundering through Washington States, right, I mean, these are they're

227
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: professional defenses. Then they got to go against it. Yes,

228
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: they will probably have those weeks where they drop a

229
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: forty burger on somebody, but then there's gonna be those

230
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: weeks where they struggle along and maybe they get a

231
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: couple of three touchdown unt and those opportunities just aren't

232
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: gonna be there. I mean, I wouldn't truly be surprised

233
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: if you see de Marco Murray's numbers. His yardage totals

234
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: dropped by about a thousand, maybe his touchdowns dropped about

235
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: five or six, but he had two hundred and seventeen

236
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: attampts in two thousand thirteen, had eleven hundred yards nine touchdowns.

237
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: That put him around what it was the RB seven

238
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: I think that year, Okay, like you don't think he

239
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: could be RB seven with that like to seven. But

240
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: a passing work though, but I don't. I think the passing.

241
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: The passing work goes to Darren Sprawls. The touchdowns could

242
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: potentially go to Ryan Matthews. I mean, I just think

243
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: there are others. Well, I'll say this, he's Ryan Matthews

244
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: has not been good around the goal line, never has been.

245
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: I can't imagine he's going to be DeMarco Murray. On

246
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: the other hand, you get down there, he looks pretty

247
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: darn good. I think Matthews is gonna steal a lot

248
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: of work in between the twenties, and he's gonna steal

249
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: some work in the passing down situation. And yeah, you're right,

250
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden's or excuse me, Darren McFadden Darren Sprawls, Uh

251
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: there as well. Uh. It could eat into a lot

252
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: of his production. But can he make the most of it? Um,

253
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, Marcus. I absolutely he could

254
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: totally get two hundred carries, get a thousand yards, maybe

255
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: eleven hundred yards, and get three touchdowns and it would

256
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: be a disaster. But I would say this though, in

257
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: that in the Philadelphia offense, he's gonna have some opportunities.

258
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: All Right, we move on, Dallas Cowboys. Look, we've talked

259
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: about this to death. Can we just go Uh, who's

260
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: the guy you're drafting, period, and give me the round.

261
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: We'll go around the horn, Alex Gillhard. I mean I

262
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,119
Speaker 1: I've said on the last podcast, I'm avoiding this backfield.

263
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: So that's why it's the storyline to watches. If sure,

264
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: I would draft Joseph Randall in the seventh round, Joseph

265
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: Randall in the sixth, but I'm with Alex, I'm Stanwood Adam.

266
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: I would take Darren McFadden much later. I think I

267
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to take Joey Randall at some point,

268
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: but I went with dre Ellington over him, or because

269
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: I had a weird went Andre Ellington in the draft.

270
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: I went Amer Abdullah as my number two, as my

271
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: RB two, and then I went Ellington as my flex

272
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: So Darren mcfadan War ten eight, round nine. I don't

273
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: know a lot of it. I you know, I don't

274
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: like doing that because it depends on what the round

275
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: und round. What if running back has been drafted in

276
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: the first sixth round and I'm gonna go, I'm gonna

277
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: go Darren McFadden as well. I think the I think

278
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: he pays off later in the year. Again, I've been

279
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: saying that I think thoroughly Darren McFadden late in the season,

280
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: and I can kind of see Darren McFadden carrying your

281
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: your your team, uh late later in the season. If

282
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: you can get him in around eight or nine done,

283
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: I'll take it all right. Um, Cardinals running back workload split. Uh.

284
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: We know about Andre Ellington. He disappointed a little bit

285
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: last year. Uh. There's David Johnson in the mix, who

286
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: they just picked up out of Northern Iowa, I believe.

287
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: And then Chris Johnson still lurking. C J two cage

288
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: is still lurking in the background somewhere. But um, fine lurk.

289
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: That's what you do on the sideline when you have

290
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: answering lurk. How many they have? They literally have points

291
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: seven five working hamstrings in the Cardinals backfield, right, it's

292
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: kind of impressive. I don't understand what's going on. What's

293
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: up with the hamstrings? Um, Adam Rank, I see you

294
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: with a very dismissive wave of your hand. Uh. Chris Johnson, Yes,

295
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: love Andre Ellington. He was injured last year. I think

296
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: it was a footage. It was it was a big

297
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: foot injury. It was a foot injury. It wasn't a hamstring,

298
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: and when Carson Palmer was the quarterback, he targeted Ellington

299
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: a lot. His production was so much higher with Palmer

300
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: in there. And when you're drafting him in the position

301
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: where you're taking him, it's just gonna be like a

302
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: flex guy. It's tremendous. He's super gonna PPR two because

303
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: I think uh didn't Kreine on one of our stats.

304
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: Mayven send out the thing of the targets for the

305
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: Cardinals when Palmer was in there, and I think Ellington

306
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: was actually second behind Fitzgerald. Yeah, he's a monster when

307
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: when Palmer's back there. So I'm very very happy with

308
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: that selection. Can he stay healthy? I guess that's the

309
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: number one. That's everybody. That's everybody, And you didn't three weeks.

310
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: But he's a smallish back and then and I know

311
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: that's that's always a concern. Football is a collision sport.

312
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: It's a concern. It doesn't even have to be a

313
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: collision sport. Jordy Nelson got injured just running like that's

314
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the luck of the draw. I mean,

315
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: if you honestly, if you wanted to take if you

316
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: want to devote some time, if you'll me an hour

317
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: next week, give me all three hundred players. I will

318
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: tell you a reason not to draft every single player.

319
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: You could easily come up with it. Stay tuned for

320
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: how the Grinch stole your fantasy. Fantasy supposed to be fun.

321
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: I know. That's why I don't like the negativity you

322
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: have old style about this? How about this? I will

323
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: say this, Uh, David, I'll bring in positivity. I'll bring

324
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: David Johnson into the light. He can. You know I

325
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: love David Johnson. And the reason is because you know,

326
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: you talk about Andrea Allington explosive player. I get it.

327
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: Uh smallish stature makes me a little bit concerned. Um,

328
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: but David Johnson, man, you know you look at the

329
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: physical attributes of the guy. I know he's still learning

330
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: the running back position, but the physical attributes of the guy,

331
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: he's you know, six over six ft tall, U two

332
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: fifteen pounds, pretty husky dude, ran a great forty, has

333
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: a great vertical leap, and he produced last year as well,

334
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: a great catcher, I mean, unbelievable hands at the running

335
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: back position. And I know Mike Mayock really likes the

336
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: guy as well. Uh so yeah, you know what, man,

337
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: I've been putting my hat uh in the ring and

338
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: really taking up for David Johnson and especially for the price.

339
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: My god, you're seeing him going to twelve fourteenth round.

340
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: I'll take him there all you think he's gonna outscore

341
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: Andre Ellington? Boy putting me on the spot, aren't you?

342
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: What are we doing? That's what we do. I gotta

343
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: pick one of these. You know what I'll go, I'll

344
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: do it. Let's do it right now, I'll say, David

345
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: Johnson outscores Andre Ellingtons. Okay. I thought about giving him

346
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: the falling sound, but it's just well, let's just move on.

347
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: Let's just there alright. Can Melvin Gordon rebound from uh? Well,

348
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: he didn't look too terribly good when he got in there. Um.

349
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: I know a lot of folks are concerned because of

350
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: the whole Wisconsin running back thing. Blah blah blah blah blah.

351
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: I get it. Um, Melvin Gordon? Does he rebound? Uh?

352
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: And where do you project? What kind of project are

353
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: you having for for this explosive rookie. I'm looking at

354
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: the situation that where he's just got two guys ahead

355
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: of him who are playing pretty well. Danny Woodhead is

356
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: one of the most underrated running backs. As long as

357
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's a monster catching the ball out of

358
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: the backfield. What was the stat heat it's seventy six catches. Yeah,

359
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: I mean it's incredible. And Brandon Olivier has looked. Is

360
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: that on? How I believe it's I want to punch

361
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: it up. You're in you're in southern California, You're soon

362
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: to be in Los Angeles. You want to have a

363
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: little bit Oh boy, where are we going? Uh? Now

364
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers are the ones going so so wait, so

365
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: Melvin gor there's a couple of guys ahead of him.

366
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're not high on I'm not high

367
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: on the price. And it's you know he's going in

368
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: the fifth round, you know that. Yeah, it's it's a

369
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: little steep. It's a little steep. If I was in

370
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: a draft and I saw him falling and I had

371
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: my roster feeling my starters filled out, or at least

372
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: I had my two running backs, two receivers, and a

373
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: flex guy, and I saw Gordon there that I'd be like,

374
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: all right, because like we're talking about players at the

375
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: end of the season who could be producing for you.

376
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm in definitely in the first five rounds. I would

377
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: like to have somebody who I know is going to

378
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: be an immediate starter and producing right from the get go. Man,

379
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: it's amazing how quickly those things turn. Because remember well

380
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: on draft Day when the Chargers took Melvin Gordon, everybody

381
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, this is great and say

382
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: over and then he was a little banged up, and

383
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: then we see him playing, it's like, uh, this guy

384
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: you know. And it reminds me too. It's funny. It's

385
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: almost like ignorance is bliss here because I mean Tom

386
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: Curley hasn't even played, and we're seeing a lot more

387
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: hype behind Todd Gurley. And because we saw Melvin Gordon

388
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: struggle a little bit unlimited action by the way um

389
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I think I think it's not

390
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: just that, it's also his rank pointed out Denny Woodhead

391
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: was also a mystery in the backfield coming back from

392
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: his broken ankle. So for him to come back and

393
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: get a lot of hype and train in camp and

394
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: then look very good in preseason action, I think those things,

395
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: coupled together are what have people like sliding down a

396
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: little bit on the Melvin Gordon hype trae. But I

397
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: mean that's what I was saying though, But Tree Mason

398
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: there in St. Louis too. I mean, that's what I

399
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: find it very interesting that that it's happening to Melvin Well.

400
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: Part of the problem to me is that we've seen

401
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: these guys play. I are watching the Big Ten last year.

402
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: David Cobb at Minnesota looked like the best running back

403
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: of that group and not being you know, a draft

404
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: nick on the level of Daniel Jeremiah or something like that.

405
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: But as somebody who just enjoys watching college football, I

406
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: would watch those games because they would be playing. They

407
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: always played in the nine am game here on the

408
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: West Coast, and he'd be like that, David Cobbs pretty special, yeah,

409
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I just and it was a surprise

410
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: to me that he fell so far in the draft.

411
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: And then when you watch the SEC games, which started

412
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: at twelve thirty out here, and you would watch girly,

413
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, against SEC competition, just destroying people, like, oh

414
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: my god, this might be the greatest. Like I didn't

415
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't really remember herschel Walker, but like when he's

416
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: breaking that guy's records, that stands out. I think the

417
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: thing about Melvin Gordon though, Uh, you know you talk

418
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: about watching these guys play, man, I mean I was

419
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: kind you weren't impressed by the way I was. He

420
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: was very I was impressed by their offensive line. And

421
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: I would be watching it and you would be like

422
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: it would be like watching and playing Madden on rookie,

423
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: where the lot of the holes were just so wide

424
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: open that you figure, like, well, anybody who's earned the

425
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: starting job at Wisconsin should have a lot of success

426
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: running behind that offense. And I just thought I was

427
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: so impressed with his fast twitch muscles. Man, I mean, yeah,

428
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: the holes were there, You're right, But I mean, first

429
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: of all, it's college football. The holes are always there. Uh.

430
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: And the fact that he's able to read those defenses

431
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: and go and go and just hit it hard. And

432
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he could also catch the ball in

433
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: the backfield so well and really turn up field quickly

434
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: and uh and really make something. I don't know, man,

435
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: I was. I I like the way Melvin Gordon it was.

436
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: It was different than it was different than Monty Ball

437
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: and obviously very different than Ron Dane. But it's still

438
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: But then again, it's not because you're always a little

439
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: weary of the fact that that system always produces running

440
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: backs who have great numbers and produce on the collegiate

441
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: level that don't necessarily translate to the NFL level. So

442
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: when you're watching it, you you do have a little

443
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: bit of cynicism about like how big are those offensive?

444
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: Like what other running backs in the kind of like

445
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: who could we be pulling from other teams and just

446
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: sticking back They're like when Alfred Blue was an l

447
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: s U, he was playing behind Jeremy Hill. If like,

448
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: if you had stuck him behind Wisconsin's line, You're like,

449
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: what would have been his projections? Probably good? Don't mean

450
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: to jump in you guys should make sure to log

451
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: into our draft that starts in like thirty seconds that

452
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: we're also doing on our phones. Here. Oh yeah, I'm here.

453
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: By the way, I feel like the lesson in this whole,

454
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: especially supposed to draft and do this podcast at the

455
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: exact very carefully here a professional job, I feel like,

456
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: But I do feel like the lesson in this whole

457
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: I first pick, Oh hell yeah, the lesson here is

458
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: don't play, you know, I mean, if you just like

459
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: you just rest on your college Lorells and then you

460
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: wait for all the draft and don't play until the

461
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: games are for real. Then nobody's going to you know,

462
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna doubt you. All right, we should've talked Abdon

463
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: for like six hours. Should has mastered that. So yeah, exactly,

464
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: And he fell in the draft, yelled in this year.

465
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: Well here all James is getting loaded into the draft.

466
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: All segue for us. You speaking of t j L

467
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: then falling in the draft, Why don't we talk about

468
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: some of our favorite fantasy draft bargains. I have no

469
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: idea how to log into the draft. You just click

470
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy ask This is where you go to

471
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football and you swipe on your teams

472
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: until you find the one and they'll say you're drafting

473
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: now in big red letters, and you click on that. Okay,

474
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: but I just did that is what I'm trying to

475
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: tell you. And you should be in there and then

476
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: once it's your turn, you be able to pick. Apparently

477
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: it's not okay, so it doesn't matter. But we're talking

478
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: about fantasy bargains. Yeah, we have a podcast here. Um,

Speaker 1: talking about trying to be positive, the positivity. This is

492
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: positivity right here. Um, give me a guy on your

493
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: list that you believe is gonna be a fantasy bargain.

494
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: It's funny because I know Money likes to talk about

495
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: confirmation bias. So I do want to talk about Doug Martin,

496
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: who was on this list and who I ended up

497
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: getting as one of my bench guys because watching him

498
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,239
Speaker 1: play in the preseason, he's been pretty good and knowing knowing, Uh,

499
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith, as I do you know what you guys

500
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: are so wrapped up in your draft. I want to

501
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: veer this off course, take this in a different direction.

502
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: How condescending is it? Now? I won't do that, um,

503
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: But I like Doug Martin a lot this season. I

504
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: I do like the system that he's going into. So

505
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: he's one that I was looking forward to. Got him

506
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: on my team. Feel like I really rolled the dice

507
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: with the Mira Abdulla. I drafted him in the fourth round.

508
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: I have a feeling I'm gonna be burned by the

509
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: Abdullah pick, bailed out by Doug Martin. And at the

510
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: end of the season even I won't I won't even

511
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: be talking about how I wasted a fourth round pick

512
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: on Abdullah. I'll be like, remember when I drafted Doug Martin.

513
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: That's where it is. Like. I mean, if you listen

514
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: to this podcast, you know you know by now that

515
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: I drafted C. J. Anderson and I drafted Jeremy Hill

516
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: last year. I rarely talk about the fact that I

517
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: drafted Terence West and some other curtain jerker who ended

518
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: up folding or Courdale Patterson. Sure so there was somebody

519
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: else too, but you know you're hitting you miss um

520
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: some other guys. If I can go through briefly while

521
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: you guys are getting into your draft client, Ryan Tannehill,

522
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: I know Johnson. I just got Kelvin Johnson horrible. Okay,

523
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: let's go gonna stop the draft and redo it. I

524
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: put uh, I don't want to be doubling up a j.

525
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: I put Matt Forte on that. I was just about

526
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: to ask you he's he's a guy that I'm I

527
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: crossed off my list. He he's I don't have that

528
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: many guys on my do not draft list. Matt Forte

529
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: is one of them. Why. I just think with Mark

530
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: Trustman being gone, I think he's gotten a lot of

531
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: re liss. He was good before trust Yes, I realized that.

532
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: And I also realized that he's gotten a lot of work,

533
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 1: a lot of work. Uh. And I'm a little bit

534
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: worried that. Look, this is not a great Chicago Bears team.

535
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: If they start getting behind, they've got they're gonna take

536
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: him out on passing down. No. No, I just I

537
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: just don't know if he's gonna get uh enough work,

538
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: um to justify the price that you're gonna have to

539
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: pay for this guy, because he's going to the in

540
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: the top seven or eight picks, is he not? I

541
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: I was actually shocked when I believe it was Matt

542
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: money Smith took him in the first round. I I

543
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: I put this list out thinking like, if I'm getting

544
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: Matt Forte in the second round, I'm very happy with that.

545
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: And that's where I was seeing his adp using like

546
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Botball calculator and some other various resources that

547
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: we have at our disposal and saying like sucking round

548
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: for him, because I'm a big proponent of going receiver receiver.

549
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: But if the draft dictates that, you know what, one

550
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: of these good running backs is gonna be remaining there

551
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: because I got Jeremy Hill in the middle of the

552
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: second round, that I will go ahead and do that.

553
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: And Matt Forte is one of those guys that if

554
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: I see and if I'm in the middle of the

555
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: second round or later in the second round and he's falling,

556
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: I will definitely jump in. I think that this offense

557
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: is better suited for him. They will be more run first.

558
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: Um talking to some people, I don't believe that Forte

559
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: really liked his role as the past as the sole

560
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: pass catcher, because he's he's said in like numerous articles

561
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: he's excited to get back to that kind of ground

562
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: and pound like run first style. I think, yeah, I

563
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: don't know if it was just he got burnt out

564
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: or he didn't like being out in the space that much,

565
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: but he you know, yeah, I caught a hundred three

566
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: passes he ran. All I know is I just grabbed

567
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: him with the number six spot in our draft. So

568
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: there you go. I'm good with it. I mean, I'm

569
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: with right he was. This guy's a very talented guy.

570
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: Even before Mark Trestman showed up there. I wasn't surprised

571
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: that he caught a hundred passes with Trustman there, because

572
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: I went back to the fact that Mark Trustman, right

573
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: was the o C in San Francisco got eighty seven

574
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: receptions for a dude named Derek Leville. So hello, Matt

575
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: Forte was definitely gonna have a big year. I still

576
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: like the guy, and I think he falls in that

577
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: gray area where if you're in the middle of the

578
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: first round of your draft, like you know it, it's

579
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: you know, are you going Antonio Brown, Aaron Rodgers? But

580
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: is you know, Matt Ford's a Mars Shawn Lynch. I

581
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: think all those guys kind of get lumped into that

582
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: mid part of the first round. Um, another guy that

583
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: I have circled here in terms of fantasy bargains. I'm

584
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: really getting distracted by that I can't draft on my phone.

585
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's upseting me right now. Um, I'll

586
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: say that Shane Vereen we're seeing going super super late.

587
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: I know we've extolled the virtues of Shane Verreen. I

588
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: wrote about David Johnson in our Draft Kid as well. Um,

589
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater another guy that I think is going late

590
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: in fantasy drafts that could provide some real value. Um, Marcus,

591
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: give me a guy on your list, um, in terms

592
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: of fantasy bargains, that that you've circled and said, you know,

593
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: I gotta get this guy because he's going too late

594
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: in drafts. Um. Well, a guy that I think that

595
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: I had my I have yet to be able to

596
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: get him any draft because it just hasn't worked out

597
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: timing wise. But I have become more and more enamored

598
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: with Tyler Eiffert as a fantasy commodity this year. I

599
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: think what happened with him playing just one quarter of

600
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: one game last year, everybody kind of forgot about him,

601
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: and you know, seeing what he's done, so far in

602
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: this preseason has reminded everybody how athletic he is why

603
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals loved him so much, Uh, coming out of

604
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. And again, I think this is kind of

605
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: the Andy Dalton corallary where everybody looks at any Dalton,

606
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: they're like they think that, you know, it's gonna impact.

607
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: That was a very good impression of people that look

608
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: at Andy Dalton, you know, and so but I think

609
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: that you know, you look around and it's one of

610
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: these things where the weapons around Dalton will help make

611
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: him better. And I think Tyler Effort is one of

612
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: those guys. Um, can I ask you about you put

613
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: Airy on f most on this list. Well, he was

614
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: a bargain until, like, you know, twenty four hours ago.

615
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: Well he was. He was a bargain right until after

616
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: I stole him in the experts draft when the reports

617
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: came out that he's been working out at the facility

618
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: and they expect him back by like week two to four.

619
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: So because I got him into the little tease, I

620
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: got him in the seventh round of that expert drafting

621
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: that for a guy that could be a top five

622
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: running back, I totally got While you had him on

623
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: it when it was looking like, you know, maybe week

624
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: six or so, he was really a value of bargain guy.

625
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: Then it goes to week you know, two to four weeks,

626
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, then all of a sudden, it's

627
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: not quite so valuable. Although I will say, I don't

628
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: know if you've seen your sources in the know say

629
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: that an asteroid made destroy Earth within four weeks. So

630
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: now that pick isn't looking so valuable. All right, Bruce

631
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: Willis on the case. Yeah, alright, gil Hard, give me

632
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: a guy. Uh, let's see. You know, we've talked about

633
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: some good ones. I the first guy put on my

634
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: list is still Steve Johnson. I really like him in

635
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: San Diego this year. He's the kind of pass catcher

636
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: that should thrive with Philip Rivers and I I wouldn't

637
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: be surprised if he and um Keenan Allen put up

638
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 1: a similar amount of production, both probably around a thou

639
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: in yards and maybe in that six a ten touchdown range.

640
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: But the fact that you can get Stevie Johnson for

641
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: basically free at the end of a draft, I think

642
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: that's a tremendous bargain. And uh, the numbers won't be

643
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: that big between the two of them, I think at

644
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: the end of the season. So I'm gonna wait and

645
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 1: take the guy that I can get around fifteen as

646
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: opposed to the one in round five. All right, let's

647
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: move on. Let's talk about our very own Fantasy Live

648
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: League UM draft. It's funny because you know, people, I'm

649
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: always torn about this because no one cares about your

650
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: fantasy team. Yeah, but it's like it's like talking about

651
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: a bad beaten poker. No one cares except for when

652
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: they do. They reach bock drafts, Like this is basically

653
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: this is like I was saying to you, this is

654
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: our mock draft, except this one was for real. So

655
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: this is how we really feel about all these players

656
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: and the experts. And that's why I'm always so torn

657
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: about it, because it's like, hey, we're gonna be talking

658
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: about our fantasy But then it's like, but people actually

659
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: are very curious about how this actually plays out. When

660
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 1: you've got ten guys who have been playing fantasy for

661
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: a decade plus and they're really into it, and they're

662
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: every single person in this league is in the know,

663
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: how does it play out? So UM, in terms of

664
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: the top four, I don't quite remember what the draft

665
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: order was, but I know the top four because I

666
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: was first. Bar was number one because he was last

667
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: last year, and then it was Ellie Harrison and then

668
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: Dave Damna Shack. We need to have relegation where if

669
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: you come in last you can't get out of the league.

670
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: That would make things we have. But we have a

671
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: couple of up starts with the franchise and Maddie Horman

672
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: who are ready to ready to be in this league,

673
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: deserve a chance to be in this league. The Wiz

674
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: is well, finally, I diagree how much wrangling I had

675
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: to do for that? All right? So it's got It's

676
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: got Michael Fabian on it as well. It's got Marcus Grant,

677
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: Matt smat, Money Smith is in it, Maurice Jones, Drew

678
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: uh is in our league. And we introduced Alex time

679
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: champ in the three time champion. Oh thank you? Oh

680
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: hey wow, look how that got slept down there? All right?

681
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: So much for we talking about surprises are yeah, I mean, um,

682
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing, and Adam Rick will love this.

683
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: The fact that Akbar had been extolling the virtues of

684
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles Javal Charles, Jamal Charles, I think Adam Rink

685
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: asked him point blank, so if you got the number one,

686
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: he has the number one overall pick. Are you taking

687
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: taking Jamal Tromp And he said yes, I am. There's

688
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: like this and then he goes Levian Bell. There's a

689
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: couple of he doesn't. Yeah, that's the whole thing, like

690
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: he does that. The guy. There was a guy on

691
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: the TV show talking about how much Odell Beckham Jr.

692
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: Sucks And then all of a sudden, in the second

693
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: round before I pick, right before I'm looking at the board.

694
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the board and I've got Antonio Brown

695
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: and the guy in front of me, who's drafting in

696
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: front of me, has spent the last sixty five weeks

697
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: burying Odell Beckham Jr. Just crushing him, telling though he's

698
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: so good, there's no way whoever. He scored way too

699
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: many points last year. And I'm like, rock the freak on.

700
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: I am getting Antonio Brown and Beckham. I'm gonna start

701
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: just fist pumping and bumping everybody and then lo and

702
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: behold look Beckham, the guy, he just takes him. Uh.

703
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: Adam Rink had the six pick. Michael Fabiano had the

704
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: seventh pick. UM Alex Galhara as the new new member,

705
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: UM got stuck at the back. He was number ten overall.

706
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones Drew was number nine. UM. Just to kind

707
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: of give people an idea of where they were drafting.

708
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: So Adam Rank, I really liked his draft position. He

709
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: was right and smacked down in the middle of the draft. Marcus,

710
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: were you five? I was five? So Marcus was five

711
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: right there, So, uh, I was four, Marcus was five,

712
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: and then Adam Rank was six, gal Har at ten, uh,

713
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: and Fabriana was at seven. So just to kind of

714
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 1: give an idea. And you can read the full recap

715
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: on NFL dotcom slash fantasy. It'll be up today and

716
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: uh the up starts. As you said, Franchise and Harmon

717
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: are doing a little snark in between the rounds, so

718
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: we'll see what they thought about the sass and the picks.

719
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: That the biggest surprise came in the first round third pick.

720
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: Uh check took Andrew Luck. He's been saying he's gonna

721
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: do this all overall. He said he's gonna get one

722
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: of the top two quarterbacks early and I mean him

723
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: picking at third I've been thought that was going to

724
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: be the perfect chance for all his bluff. But lo

725
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: and behold, Andrew Luck went off the board that So

726
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: now I do have to say this. Um. Now, I

727
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: know Akbar had been talking about you know, Jamal Charles,

728
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: and he ended up with Levian Bill. I know I've

729
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: been talking about taking Luck of Rogers in the very

730
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: first round. Um. The reason I didn't do it is

731
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: because I looked at the back half of the draft.

732
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 1: I already knew Adam Rank wanted to go wide receiver

733
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: wide receivers, so I think I was pretty safe and

734
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: assuming he wasn't going to go there. I know Gill

735
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: Harr wasn't thinking about quarterback going there either. We know

736
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: Fabs ain't going there, So really I had to survive

737
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: one guy or maybe two guys Marcus Grant and Maurice

738
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: Jones Drew. But but even then I was I was.

739
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: It was basically I was gambling that I would be

740
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: able to get Rogers on the coach. Because you also

741
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: knew Matt money Smith was going to take Drew Brees.

742
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's the other guy, so I knew that he

743
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: was so so so I knew that Rogers wasn't on

744
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: Matt money Smith's radar either, So really I only had

745
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: to survive a couple man Jersey, and I'd self relatively

746
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: confident in doing that, and that's why I did your draft. Yeah,

747
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: you know your draft alright. So first, so with the

748
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: fourth overall pick, I took Eddie Lacey, and in a

749
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: very awk bar esque move, I I immediately offered Eddie

750
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: Lacey straight up for for Marshawn Lynch, who was taking

751
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: seventh overall, uh, only to rescind it basically to two

752
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: rounds later where FABS like, hey, you want me to

753
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: execute this trade and I'm like, nah, you know what, Na,

754
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm good And actually, I gotta be honest. The reason

755
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: I did hilarious. The reason I did that, though, it

756
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: was because I actually felt bad um about it, not

757
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: for Fabs, but actually more for you guys. Because if

758
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: I had taken Marshawn Lynch there at four, which would

759
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: have been a passion pick, clearly I didn't. I didn't ran.

760
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to add. What if if if,

761
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 1: what if if Eddie Lacey were still there at five?

762
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: I would have taken Eddie Lacer. You go, well, that's

763
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: why I felt bad. Daul Charles, Yeah, so that's why

764
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: I would have felt bad. I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna

765
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: give Fabs Lacey when really it it's really kind of

766
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: screwing over Marcus and Adam Rick. I think that's that's

767
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: what an honorable move. Plus, it was hilarious to see

768
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: you put that trade out there and and then just

769
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 1: quickly ignore it and rescind it. Right, it was, although

770
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: although I still might try to make a move uh

771
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey for Marshawn and Martavis Bryant who and I

772
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: think he's open to it. So I'm that's a little saucy,

773
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: all right. Um Akbar took Manning and Brady Uh Manning

774
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: fell what to the fourth round? Fourth or fifth or something,

775
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was an expert, of course he fell, right.

776
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: Can we just can we just acknowledge the fact that

777
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: Dave Damnascheck drafted Not only did he draft both Mike

778
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: Evans and Vincent Jackson, but he also took both Kobe

779
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: Fleaner and Dwayne Allen. That makes no sense whatsoever. And

780
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, I was appreciative him taking all

781
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: but having him to the eighth round or whatever. I

782
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: was like, all right, thanks, check, all right, pretty good.

783
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: So he took Dwayne Allen in the eighth something like that.

784
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: It was early, was it ahead of us? Like ifort

785
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: and said, who your tight end? Julius Thomas? Pretty sure?

786
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't know I got Julius ninth I was. I

787
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: was mad because it is unbelievable. At the ten turn,

788
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: I took Rob Gronkowski and Julio Jones. Very comfortable doing that. However,

789
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: then when I'm sitting there, you know, round seven eight,

790
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, nobody's taking Julius Thomas. Round nine, I'm like,

791
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Like, had I've been able to

792
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: take I don't know fully on somebody else? Of course

793
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: you never know that. But I'm very happy to have Gronk.

794
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: But like, Julius Thomas in the ninth round is insane value, insane.

795
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: I think that was the pick of the of the draft,

796
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: I really do. I mean, the fact that you could

797
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: get Julius Thomas in the ninth round it's bananas, It's nuts.

798
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: And I've got two members of the Jacksonville Jaguars on

799
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: my team. Put there you go, what do my money

800
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: where my mouth is? And if I I think Alex

801
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: took a Rob did so I did not get Um

802
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: Marcus great. Let me ask you this your favorite pick

803
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: of the draft for you for my my my favorite pick. Uh.

804
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, I liked getting Jordan Matthews in the fourth round.

805
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: I've been saying this whole offseason that I've been targeting

806
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: Nelson Aghalore and every draft I'm in, somehow Jordan Matthews

807
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: keeps falling in my lap. That's not a bad problem

808
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: at all, that, um, you know, not so much. Um.

809
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: You know, I also liked and I'm putting this out

810
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: there for anybody in our league that's listening that I

811
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: just got sniped on Dug Martin. This is really yeah.

812
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: But um, you know I put it out there. I

813
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: have Teddy Bridgewater. I also have Ryan Tannehill. So if

814
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: somebody wants to make a deal for one of those

815
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: two guys, I am open to to hearing anything. All right,

816
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: I will not because so I'm good. I'm good there.

817
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta say I got real shook up

818
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: because you still end up you still ended up with Rogers. Yeah,

819
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: I did. That sucks. That's crazy. Back half of the

820
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: second round. I'll take them, I know, but you weren't

821
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: going to You're gonna take wide receiver. Already knew that

822
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: I was playing you, like I legitimately, because like how

823
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: you are looking ahead like I'm I'm going through this

824
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: scenario and just saying like I'm so convinced that Odell

825
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. I think I'm I'm too basy, like I'm

826
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: literally right. I have the tweet. I have the tweet

827
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: midway thirty seconds into my second round pick, and I'm like,

828
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: what is going on? Like what the and I'm like upset,

829
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: like where is it? Like what's going on? I almost

830
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: make him stop the draft, like wait, wa wait, l

831
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Disappeared and then I see he's on.

832
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: He was picked before by the guy who hates Odell Beckham.

833
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 1: By the way, So you took Antonio Brown number six overall.

834
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: I thought it was I thought it was a bold calls,

835
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, but you were but you've been touting taking

836
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: a high end wide receiver early and you did it,

837
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: So it's good. I didn't realize that Jeremy Hill was

838
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: gonna fall so far. I you know what, I honestly thought,

839
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: m J D. I I don't want to say that

840
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: I convinced him. But I looked at one of m

841
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: j D's other teams that he did with a talent

842
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: league here or whatever, and I was celebrity league, celebrity league,

843
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: and I was I'm like, dude, why don't you go

844
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: to receivers. I was running down everybody like, no, don't,

845
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: don't draft him, don't do this, don't do that. I'm like,

846
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: you should go receiver, receiver. I was over and over

847
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: and then I looked at his team. I'm like, he

848
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: went receiver. I gotta start talking to these people. But

849
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, I will say this the most poetic pick

850
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: in the draft, Maurice Jones. Drew selected Rashad Jennings. That

851
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: is awesome, man, his backup, you know what I'm saying,

852
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: his former backup. And it was awesome. I was like,

853
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe you ended up. That's amazing, that's great,

854
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: that's fun, it's fun. Um wait, can I just ask

855
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: one question before we move on you? I know you

856
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: loved Tevin Coleman. Yeah, I took him in the sixth

857
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: I know, I know. Is that like just a gut

858
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: one you got the guy you loved or where you

859
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: were you flustered. Did you get sniped? What happened? Oh? No, no, no,

860
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: I I basically I was again, I'm looking at the

861
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: other rosters here, and I'm looking at um Akbar and Elliott,

862
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: and and I'm kind I wasn't too worried about Elliott

863
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: because I don't think he's too terribly high on Tevin.

864
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: But I do know ak Bars extremely high on Tevin Coleman.

865
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: He needed an extra running back in terms of depth,

866
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: and he would have had two picks exactly. I was.

867
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: I was worried that he wasn't gonna fall. And again

868
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: I think I think, okay, value, okay, value for Coleman

869
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: would have been in the seventh round, right, But you

870
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 1: gotta reach for the ones you love. It didn't reach

871
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: for David Cobbin. Money stolen from me. It happened. So yeah,

872
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: I would do that. Yeah, And it's good to know,

873
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: like you said, who's with you, like, who's drafting around you?

874
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: Because I I know I don't draft like the guy

875
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: who is behind me. But Marcus I felt was very similar,

876
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: as evidenced by him going with two quarterbacks that I

877
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: also like. And you're just like that sucks, and it's

878
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: like that's why I'm taking a mirror like I was

879
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: reaching on a mirrorb Doula probably reaching on some other

880
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: but I'm like, I'll be around early instead of being

881
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: get the guy you want. So I took Alshon Jeffrey

882
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: as my wide receiver one. My wide receiver to this

883
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: is obviously going to be a weak spot for me

884
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: all year, But my wide receiver to Davante Adams I

885
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: took in the fifth round. As men, Yeah, I want

886
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: to get your reaction to that. I know it's a reach.

887
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: I know it's a reach, But that being said, I

888
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: was very interested in the fact that a lot of

889
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: people were upset that I made the pick there. Yeah,

890
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: I think it's just because there's a little bit that's

891
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: unknown about him still. But man, if the upside is

892
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: there for anybody, it's there for Davante Adams. He's not

893
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna get Jordy Nelson's hunter and fifty one targets. That's insane.

894
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: Was like the most ever and an Aaron Rodgers team. However,

895
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers been talking this guy up. He's athletic, he

896
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: can make the catches, and you know they're gonna need

897
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: somebody step up. And if Davante Adams does boom, He's

898
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: got wide receiver two value. All right, let's do But

899
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: I would like to also add something into this, A

900
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: little piece of advice is again not only knowing who's

901
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: drafting with you, but it's important to know the structure

902
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: of your draft as well as how you're constructing these

903
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: teams because a lot of teams vary because we do

904
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: we do two wide receivers and a flex, and I'm

905
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues where it's and reflex. So

906
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: when I was in the second round and I took

907
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill, and I'm a big guy talking about, hey,

908
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, receiver receiver. Once all the other are receivers

909
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: were gone, and this is partly partly because Jordy Nelson

910
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: is not in the mix anymore, is I'm looking and

911
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, the guy I really wanted was

912
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. I'm like, Okay, of all the receivers who

913
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: are available, I really wanted Brandon Cooks. And again just

914
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 1: rolling the dice and being like web counting it, counting

915
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: the number of picks and thinking like, okay, I'm gonna

916
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: have either Brandon Cooks, t Y Hilton, or DeAndre Hopkins.

917
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 1: You more than likely just like going through those type

918
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: of scenarios. So that's important to know. Now, if we

919
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: had have been in the league with three receivers, I

920
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: would have gone another receiver right there, wouldn't have gone

921
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: for the running back. But but but make sure you

922
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: know who's drafting and all the rules and if your

923
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks at six points for a passing touch because I

924
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are drafting this weekend, so

925
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: this is imperative study that stuff first. Um So, just

926
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: a piggyback on that. If you're playing in a league

927
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: that only plays one running back, uh, two wide receivers

928
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: or maybe three wide receivers in reflex, you know, when

929
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: you only have to start one running back, the actually

930
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: uh running backs become extremely devalued uh in that system.

931
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: So just know that, I know we keep pounding the

932
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: fact that you want to get running back, you want

933
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: to get but in a one running backs league, man,

934
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: running backs are extremely devalued and sleeper running backs really

935
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: become almost irrelevant irrelevant. Um So, yeah, to Adam's point,

936
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: if you're in a three wide receiver league, yeah, I

937
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: mean the standard league is this two wide receivers two

938
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: running backs and a flex in that In that system,

939
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: running backs have extreme value. If you've got three wide receivers.

940
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: Obviously the third the the wide receiver position becomes extremely

941
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: valuable as well. Um so, and in those situations, I almost,

942
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: I almost do advocate taking quarterback late because you do

943
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: really want to load up on talented pass catchers and

944
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: running backs as well. All right, let's move on, let's talk.

945
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: I think we got time for a little bit of

946
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 1: a back message. All right, Jim Jury asked better back

947
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: up to own David Cobb, Lorenzo talia Faro or Matt

948
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: Jones there in Washington. Gentleman Marcus Grant will start with

949
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: you if I can interrupt your draft. Uh, you know,

950
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with David Cobb right now.

951
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm big on him. I just drafted him. Actually,

952
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: dare you you know? I would say that I was

953
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 1: a little bit disconcerted this morning coming in and reading

954
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: quotes from Sylvester Krum, the Titans running backs coach, basically

955
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: saying that he needs to learn how to be a

956
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: professional and not everybody's on scholarship here and whatever, whatever, whatever.

957
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: But I still like what I've seen from him on film.

958
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: He he is the definition of running downhill, and so

959
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: I think long term he's the guy who's gonna take

960
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 1: over that my weird I just saw some highlights for

961
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: David Cobb, Man. I don't know why. It looks like

962
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: he looks like a player that should have one of

963
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: those neck roles, and he looks he looks in that

964
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: Titans union. I don't know why. He looks a little

965
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: bit like Lorenz O'Neil in my weird. Wow, I don't

966
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: know why that's a nice comparison. I don't know why

967
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 1: I thought that. I just was like, I said, no,

968
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: it's not it's David Um. I really really like Matt

969
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: Jones Man. I don't know what. It looked great, looked

970
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: very good. He's looked awesome down there. But I still like,

971
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I still like Alfred Morris, which is why

972
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: also true it's tough, m Adam Rank, David Coppler, Tel,

973
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: Matt Jones. Cobb is the one I would anticipate being

974
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: the starter for his team, so it seems to make

975
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: the most sense together. I don't even know if he

976
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: does he count as a backup right now, right now, Yes,

977
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: for sure, but I think they're expected to split here.

978
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: Jim Brewery, Bishop Sanky is not the start. Okay, very

979
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: good point, Alex Gelhar, What do you like? What do

980
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: I like? Hold on um, David Cobb obviously, but I

981
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: think Matt. Yeah, it's David Copps my man. Other than David.

982
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: I do like Matt Jones a lot. I think Lorenzo

983
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: Farrell's got like an M. C. L. Sprain or something

984
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: right now, which is disconcerting. But Matt Jones has looked

985
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: great and I have just a bad I have a

986
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: bad feeling. You know where is that one? Very bad?

987
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: I think that Matt Jones could steal a lot of

988
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: production from Freddie Morris. We all love him for some reason.

989
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: The Redskins don't end. I have a bad feeling that

990
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: Jones could get not only just a bunch of carries

991
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: and passes out of the backfield, but goal on work too. Alright,

992
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: So next mail back question that that sign went's out

993
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: of your pie hole and listen up, maggot, it's time

994
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: for Mara call justin power j Power three three or

995
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: excuse me, ja Power thirty three asked should I leave

996
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: Landry in the flex but or go with Adams. I'm

997
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: assuming he's talking about Davontae as it's a half point PPR.

998
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: That's what makes this an interesting question. It does gil

999
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: I think if we're talking about the flex and half

1000
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: point PPR for the most part and a half point

1001
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: PPR lead, I always treat those like a PPR leader.

1002
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: If you're getting the benefit of added points from receptions,

1003
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: favorite gud's gonna get more receptions, and that is Jarvis Landry.

1004
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: He's he's a lock for for eight catches. He's push

1005
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: he easily gonna push for hunter catches. Tannehill has been

1006
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: favoring him a lot. He's looking for him in the

1007
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: red zone. But he's just that chain mover and he's

1008
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: the only wide receiver there. Tannehill has so many talented

1009
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: pass catching options. Uh, Landry is the only one that

1010
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: he has like a good rapport and a trust with

1011
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: and you can see him targeting him a lot. So uh,

1012
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 1: in that instance, we love the upside Adams, but I

1013
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: got go with Landry. I feel like with Adams, he

1014
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: targets him a lot because he wants to get him

1015
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: into the mix. That's yeah, that's right now. I think

1016
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: it was the game that Randall copp went down two

1017
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: years ago and they put Jared Boykin in through to

1018
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: him a bunch the Ravens immediately like they he threw

1019
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: it to him like ten consecutive times. It was like

1020
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: I think it was actually like legitimately five in a row.

1021
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: They hit him on a screen. He tried him on

1022
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: a slant like because Rogers wanted to be like, hey,

1023
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: I can trust to get this going. Yeah, it's the

1024
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: anti Troy Aikman. Uh, Marcus Grant, what do you think

1025
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm definitely going with with Jarvis Landry here. I mean

1026
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: on top of what Alex said, Uh you know, I

1027
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: mean he is the guy who is the bona fide

1028
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: number one receiver in his offense, whereas Adams is kind

1029
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 1: of the number two guy at this point. Plus reading

1030
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: earlier today that they like his red zone work speaking

1031
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: of Landry, and that they think that his touchdown potential

1032
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: could possibly double this year. So that's that was exciting.

1033
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: That isn't added bone? Is that right? There? Is what

1034
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: makes me kind of pick uh Davante Adams look in

1035
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: a half point PPR, I don't want to over value

1036
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: it too often. It's still even at a PPR League

1037
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns are king um so and I get that. I

1038
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: think Adams, look, is he gonna get eight balls? Probably not,

1039
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: But I think sixty five catches is something that's doable

1040
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: for Davonte Adams given the offense UM. And again, I

1041
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: think eight nine touchdowns is absolutely well within reach, and

1042
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: I think he's got higher upside than that. The reason

1043
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: I it's so close this one. But the reason I

1044
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: may be grade Jarvis Landry just to tick down is

1045
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure despite all of the you know,

1046
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: preseason rumblings, I don't know that he gets a lot

1047
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: of touchdowns UM in the upcoming season. Maybe I don't know.

1048
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: It's five or six sounds about right for a guy

1049
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: like Jarvis Landry, but I'm not exactly sure. Uh, you

1050
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: dropped the pen Adam rank? You don't agree? Okay, what

1051
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: do you think you're going with the guy from Fresno

1052
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: State over the l s U guy? Am I right?

1053
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: All right? Wait? Wait wait, we're hating on the Mountain West.

1054
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm joking. But one thing, Jarvis Landry is an immense

1055
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: talent and if you look back at his work at

1056
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: L s U, he made some amazing catches And I

1057
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: know I say this often, but I think it bears

1058
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: repeating that. I think it was a game against Arkansas

1059
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: he makes a one handed grab that had he done

1060
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: it on a Sunday night day against the Dallas Cowboys,

1061
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: he would be on the cover of Madden. They they

1062
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: really love him in Miami. He is going to have

1063
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,280
Speaker 1: a monster breakout season. I am all about Jarvis Landry

1064
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: and PPR and Standard League. He steps up this year.

1065
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 1: Give me a projection for him very quickly. I'm gonna say,

1066
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: eighty twelve twelve a monster year yards twelve touchdowns. Is

1067
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: that not bad? That's good? All right, Let's do it, man,

1068
00:51:52,120 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: Let's close out the shell daily DAPs time, give me depth?

1069
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: Does all right? We do the daily depths, Um, And

1070
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: you know again, I love the fact that we're doing

1071
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 1: this twice a week. It kind of gives us an opportunity.

1072
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: It makes it more daily. It does make it. Yes,

1073
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: just a lot in alliteration. It doesn't sound as good, um,

1074
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: Alex skellhard can you kick us off? I think I've

1075
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 1: dapped this before, but Man, Hannibal on NBC has just

1076
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. It's one of the best shows on television

1077
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: right now. Nobody's watching it. It's going away. It doesn't

1078
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: sound like anybody else is gonna pick it up. But

1079
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: if you like good television, or you're a fan of

1080
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: the Hannibal TV series, or you just want something that's

00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: check out Hannibal on NBC. Please just just do it

1083
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: for me before it goes away. The show it some love.

1084
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: Marcus Currant mine is going out to see every now

1085
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: and then, we do this thing. Some of us get

1086
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: together for this thing called High Life Fridays where basically

1087
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: we get together and we drink the Champagne of beers

1088
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: and watched Terrible Sin. And so the upcoming edition where

1089
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: you you you guys just sit there and drink cords, heavies,

1090
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: none of the Miller, high Life Champagne, the Champagne, the champagne,

1091
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: and we watched Terrible Cinema. So the upcoming edition of

1092
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: High Life Friday will feature the film Samurai Cop, which

1093
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: somehow has which has the distinction of somehow being the

1094
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: worst and best action film of all time. It's incredible.

1095
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: It's because they they are so sincere in trying to

1096
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: make a good movie and they fail so it's not

1097
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,439
Speaker 1: like when they made I'm I'm blanking on one, where

1098
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: you know they're making a campy, cheesy, like a Sharknado

1099
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: kind of thing where Sharknado knows like this is a

1100
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: terrible movie. Something fun. Samurai Cop is trying to make

1101
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: the trying to make fun to be a good action film.

1102
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: They're trying to make like a they want to be

1103
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: lethal weapon or something like yeah, like that, like they

1104
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: think that that's what this is. Horribly immediate, terrible, incredible,

1105
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: check it out, look it up. Adam right, I'm gonna

1106
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: I still want the Thanks track from forty Ounces to

1107
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: Freedom playing when we do this, because I think it

1108
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: would just be much more appropriate in Bradley. Maybe we

1109
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: can make that is a homage to Bradley who I'll

1110
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: give him a daily depth because I appreciate his music

1111
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: daily DAP to Jack Kirby, who would have had his

1112
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 1: birthday today but Stanley stole it. Um Dailey Depp to

1113
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: Dan Hansis, who invited me to try to win West's

1114
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,280
Speaker 1: toaster on the A t L podcast, but thankfully black

1115
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: Tie stepped in and would not allow it. He shut

1116
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: me down. He's like, I'm gonna keep you off a

1117
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: second podcast, So, Dancy, I want to uh give depths

1118
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,240
Speaker 1: to n x T. I love that thing. I upgraded

1119
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: my cable at home, so I watched x n x

1120
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: T on the reag and it's so great, so much better.

1121
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I WATCHET on the network.

1122
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: Don't you get on the w W network? I know,

1123
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: but you have to have it. You have to have

1124
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: your internet connection up to speed. Otherwise I would watch,

1125
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of I would watch some matches

1126
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 1: on YouTube or however, I don't know if that's illegal

1127
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: whatever they're like that. Um, I want to give daily

1128
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: depths to Money and Gel har Um. Our commissioner in

1129
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: our NFL Fantasy Live League pushed ahead legislation that we

1130
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: didn't vote on. That legislation was that we were going

1131
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: to get I R spots, and I think our commissioner

1132
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: had it in his mind that he was gonna draft

1133
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: Hodd Gurley and Aaron Foster, and he got neither one

1134
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: of them because Monny and Gil Harsh stole him. So

1135
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: tap tap and adapt to Southwest Airlines for having the

1136
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: best app because I have a sand some Sam Sung

1137
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: phone and sometimes it's hard to do a screen grab.

1138
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: But when you check in for your itinerary for Southwest Airlines,

1139
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: it has a button it says take a picture. It

1140
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: is so easy. I'm Southwest Airlines, You're the best. I

1141
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: was rank slides and like eight daily depths. He's you

1142
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: know what it's because the first time he was on

1143
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: this podcast, he had no he had to scramble and

1144
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: find one. And now he's got of them, which I

1145
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: love the fact that you've embraced this. By the way, Um,

1146
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give two daily DAPs. The first one we'll

1147
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: go to to my guy Josh here what oaky j fifteen. Uh.

1148
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: He's a regular contributor to me on Twitter, which is great.

1149
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: Acid a ton of questions. I try to get back

1150
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: to him as much as possible. But you know, he

1151
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: watches the show all the time. He noticed that on

1152
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: one particular show, and I do this all the time.

1153
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: I wear like bright colored athletic socks instead of like

1154
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: dress socks. And he caught it. I mean, he called

1155
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: out what kind it was, like, the brand of the

1156
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: brand of the sock, and he filled it. The call

1157
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 1: is coming from inside the house and he called it.

1158
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, that is some good investigating. And

1159
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: he sent me a twit pick um. So Daily DAPs

1160
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: to him just for the fact that he watches it

1161
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: all the time and he also listens to this podcast.

1162
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: Because the tweets or that he's making a reference to

1163
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: your that is that has gotten I've several tweets about that.

1164
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: And actually, because Marcus and I did the NFL Fan

1165
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: League where we had ten people sent we had a

1166
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: bunch of people sending submissions on Twitter for the best responses.

1167
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 1: Again in the league. One of the ones we put

1168
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: in the league was because he said, I have nothing

1169
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: to add to this this retweet, so he made a

1170
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: reference joke to Adams. Adams rant to the podcast, like

1171
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: this guy's gotta be in so, Josh, I gotta hit

1172
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: you with the Daily DAP. But I haven't done it

1173
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: for a fan yet. Now it's it's very rare that

1174
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: I will do that. But but right there, that was good.

1175
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: He's a fan. You know my second one. Here's the thing, man,

1176
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: I was feeling bummed out last week because you know,

1177
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: I've been reading some negative comments written about me and

1178
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. You don't usually when you get in

1179
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: this business, you have a pretty thick skin. I guess

1180
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: you don't have to have a thick skin, but I

1181
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: have a pretty thinking about it. Um. I've met plenty

1182
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: of people in this business within skins, and I get it.

1183
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I read these comments and like,

1184
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, nine time, I just don't care, right,

1185
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: But for some reason, when I was reading these comments

1186
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: last week, I just got super bummed out. Never never

1187
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: read comment boards, I hear you, but uh, which I

1188
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: do anyways because I I think they're really funny, but

1189
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: it's hilarious, right. But that that being said, I got

1190
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: really bummed out, you know. And then this tragedy happened

1191
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: in Virginia, uh W d b J I believe as

1192
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: the station there, a reporter and a photographer shot and killed.

1193
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: Tragic story at a Rowan, Virginia. It reminded me of

1194
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: where I came from, because my roots are in local

1195
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: news and that's kind of how I came up. I

1196
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: did the whole local news thing for six years before

1197
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: I got called up into into a network gig. And

1198
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: it really made me appreciate because listen, I'll tell you what, man,

1199
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: I've been out on a story. I've been threatened to

1200
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: be shot. I've I've filmed uh police officer, officer involved shooting,

1201
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: um and seeing someone die on camera. Um. I've been

1202
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 1: threatened with the gun, a knife, fist, fights of people

1203
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: have hurled racial epithet set me. So local news is

1204
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: no joke, man, It's a It's a real grind, and

1205
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: it can be a real grind on you mentally, physically, emotionally.

1206
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: And the fact that you know it's finally cut, we're

1207
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:05,320
