It's being your Man, MG. 4 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: Marcus Grand joined by Michael Florida. We're in studios. We've 5 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: got specialists back there. Move it up. Uh, it's still 6 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: raining in Los Angeles. All it does, it's all it 7 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: does now. I don't know. Yeah, it's just gonna say that. 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: It's it's weird. We are we are now Seattle, it's raining. 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: Here's the thing for us, it's rained. You know, we've 10 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: gotten a lot of rain the last couple of months 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: or so. I'm sure people around the country are like, 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: suck it up, you whiney babies. It's a little bit 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: of rain. Um, But my tax dollars don't go to this. 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: Governor Gavin Newsom fix it, like I don't. I don't 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: want this. This is not why I pay my money for. 16 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: I had friends come visit a month ago and they 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: were like, man, we picked the wrong week. All it 18 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: did was rain. And I literally texted them this morning 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: and I was like, all it's done since you left 20 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: is right? Like we had maybe two nice days like 21 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: there was one day over the weekend it was like 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: seventy five. We went outside. It was like people had 23 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: lost their minds because it was like we hadn't seen 24 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: the sun in months. Hopefully we're sort of near the 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: tail end of it, and I'm sure people like in 26 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: the Midwest are like tired of us complaining about Yeah. Also, 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: I know it's audio right now, but we're wearing the 28 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: same hoodie we are. In case you see any any 29 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: social media clips of us from this show, we uh 30 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: unintentionally showed up to work wearing the same company issued hoodie. 31 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: It was definitely not planned. We played into the Spider 32 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: Man beam and our respective desks this morning. We got 33 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: we got points of stuff to talk about. Free agency 34 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: has sort of died down, though there have been a 35 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: few moves since we last spoke to you. We will 36 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: get into that, also talk about some of the guys 37 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: that are still out there in free agency and maybe 38 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: sort of their outlook. Will also take a quick look 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: at some Best Ball a dps. I know some of 40 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: you folks have been doing Best Ball drafts for weeks now, 41 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: and God love you for that. But we'll talk about 42 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: some of the ad he's now that free agency is 43 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: hit and whether we think some of these guys are 44 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: too high, too low, or just right. And it's the 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 1: return of Florio's film festival, Face Off is the movie. 46 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: I am super excited. Mike walked in this morning and 47 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: he said, I have thoughts, and I'm like, yep, let's 48 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: do this. So many thoughts. So we will get to 49 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: that at the tail end of the show. Very excited 50 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: to hear what Florio has to say about Face Off. 51 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: But let's start with some of the most recent moves 52 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: in free agency. This first one that actually a free 53 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: agent move. It was a trade. The Cowboys get Brandon 54 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: Cooks from the Houston Texans, so he will pair up 55 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: with Ceedee Lamb as the top two receivers now in Dallas. 56 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, My first question, I guess really is like, 57 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: how come teams don't want him? Like? I feel like 58 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: he feels like Will Smith in that you know that 59 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: the clip from the Fresh Prince of bel Air, Like, 60 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: how come they don't want me? Man? Like? Oh, he 61 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: does put up a thousand yards. He's consistent every single year, 62 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: regardless of the quarterback, And it seems like teams just 63 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: like trade him, He's been traded four times. That's insane, man. Yeah, 64 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: I don't really get it. Like since throughout his rookie 65 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: year he was a rookie, since twenty fifteen, his second 66 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: year in the league, he has gone over a thousand 67 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: receiving yards in every year but two, last year being 68 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: one of them, and then the other year with the 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: Rams where he was banged up battling injury, missed a 70 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: lot of time that year. Besides that, thousand yards every 71 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: single year and every time he gets traded, he's put 72 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: up a thousand yards to first year on a new team. 73 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: So I'm wondering, is it crazy to be like, Brandon 74 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: Cooks at thirty years old, is gonna drop a thousand 75 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: yards this season? I mean, that's gonna ask like a 76 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: reasonable projection. So thousand yards. I mean, he's got Dak, 77 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: he's got a good quarterback, he's got a good offense. 78 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: Thousand yards, six touchdowns, that seems reasonable for Brandon Cooks. 79 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: I think so like that the six touchdowns is around 80 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: where he always is. He had a couple of years 81 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: in the past where he's topped that, but recently six 82 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: has been about where he sits. So I think that's 83 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: a very fair number. And I agree quarterback upgrade, offense 84 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: upgrade as a whole, I would say, And I think 85 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: what also bolds well for Brandon Cooks is they didn't 86 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: bring back Dalton Schultz, so that opens up a whole 87 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: bunch of volume there. Michael Gallup, we got to see 88 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: if he can return to former not Knowah Brown left, 89 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: so there's a lot of targets up for grab behind 90 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb and Brandon Cooks. Like at this point, I 91 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: don't think it's crazy to say he can easily surpass 92 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup and be the number two in the target 93 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: pecking order. I fully expect that. I mean as much 94 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,559 Speaker 1: as I have sort of tried to be a Michael 95 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: Gallup stand and have been mocked by some people in 96 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: this building for it. I think Brandon cook steps in 97 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: and is immediately the number two receiver behind Ceedee Lamb. There. 98 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: But now, for Lamb, how much does this impact him? 99 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean, on the surface, you would think maybe he 100 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: takes a hit, but you mentioned there are guys that 101 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: are gone, so maybe it doesn't. Yeah, I think this 102 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: is a situation where it helps Ceedee Lamb because I 103 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: don't think Brandon Cooks like he could come in and 104 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: take away the volume that Dalton Schultz had, and then 105 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: Noah Brown and Seede Lamb could still get his near 106 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty targets that he saw a year ago. 107 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: But even more so, Cooks will helped take defensive attention away. 108 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: Like the Cowboys last year. I know Michael Gallup was 109 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: supposed to be that player, but he really wasn't. Like 110 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: they didn't have a field stretcher, someone to take the 111 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: top off the defense where the safety has to be 112 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: paying close attention to him. Brandon Cooks can still be 113 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: that guy. So just some help taking maybe some double 114 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: coverage away from Ceedee Lamb, I think can only be 115 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: a good thing. I mean, looking at the targets last year, 116 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb one hundred and fifty six, next closest Dalton 117 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: Schultz at eighty nine. So there's a pretty sizable gap 118 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: between the pass catchers there in that Dallas offense, and 119 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: in theory, Brandon Cooks comes in, closes that gap and 120 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: gives DAC another weapon to deal with. And that's you know, 121 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: obviously we're not even mentioning Tony Pollard at the targets 122 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: he's going to get and whatever else they may do 123 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: to add help to that pass catching room. Some free 124 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: agent moves, so Brandon Cooks leaves Houston. Dalton Schultz, as 125 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: you mentioned, doesn't come back to Dallas. He stays in 126 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: Texas though he's with Euston Texans. So does Devin's Singletary. 127 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: So let's start with Singletary here, because last year Damien 128 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: Pierce had a pretty nice rookie season. Was a guy 129 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: that we liked in fantasy, especially early in drafts. You 130 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: were able to get him late. Then the hype sort 131 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: of went crazy and he moved way up, but all 132 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: in all, I think had a pretty good season. Now 133 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: they bring in Devin Singletary, who, at least on the surface, 134 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: seems to do a lot of the same things. If 135 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: you were trying to choose between the two, which guy 136 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: would you rather have, I'd still rather Damian Pierce, but 137 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: I think this takes a lot of shine away from him. 138 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: And I've seen people on Twitter being like, follow the 139 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: money they paid Devin Singletary backup money, and I'm like, yeah, 140 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: they did, but he's a much better backup than Rex 141 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: Birkhead or Marlon Mack or whoever you were throwing out 142 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: behind Damian Pierce a year ago. And in fact, when 143 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: you look at their numbers Pierce and Singletary, Singletary actually 144 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: averaged more yards per carry than Damian Pierce did. He 145 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: averaged more yards before contact, just around the same yards 146 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: after contact. He had more higher percentage of runs go 147 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: for ten yards and just a little bit less go 148 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: for reaching fifteen plus miles per hours. So he's ay 149 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: like he's not a back that can handle two hundred 150 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: and twenty two hundred and fifty carries, but in a 151 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: limited role. I think Devin Singletary gets underrated a lot 152 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: like he is a quality running back. And then the 153 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: other point is Week one last year was the only 154 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: game where Damian Pierce was healthy and a running back 155 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: had more than five carries. I'm sorry to say Devin 156 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: Singletary is gonna have a lot of games where he 157 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: has more than five carries, and I still think he'll 158 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: be heavily involved in the passing games. So I think 159 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: this takes Damian Pierce from someone who had RB one 160 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: upside and caps the ceiling as an RB two and 161 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 1: maybe makes his floor a little bit lower some weeks. 162 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: I mean and I think when you go with the 163 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: whole follow the money thing, I think it's also necessary 164 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: to point out. I mean, you look at kind of 165 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: what running backs are getting. Nobody's getting big money. Rashot Penny. 166 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: The Eagles got him for like a gonna dance basically, 167 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, So it's not like it's not any of 168 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: these guys are gonna get huge contract. The guys we 169 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: thought were gonna get big deals all got franchise tagged, right, 170 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: sae Quon, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollards all got franchise tag 171 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: So at that point we just knew there wasn't gonna 172 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: be a lot of money out there for the running 173 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: back position. What worries me, though, is how they split 174 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: up the workload there. I think Pierce is going to 175 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: be the frontline guy, but as you mentioned, Singletary is 176 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: not going to be your average backup. He's not going 177 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: to be that guy that comes in and just gets 178 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: a few snaps per game. He can really be involved. 179 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: Worst case scenario, though, is that you get Pierce as 180 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: sort of the pass catching back, you get Singletary as 181 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: the guy who kind of runs the ball between the twenties, 182 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: and then they end up sort of being mutually unsatisfying 183 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: for fantasy. You get a couple of guys who give 184 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: you maybe eight hundred total yards. Maybe they give you 185 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: three to five touchdowns. Maybe Pierce is better because he 186 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: catches the ball a little bit more. But I just 187 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: have this fear that neither one of these guys are 188 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: going to be super exciting for because they are very 189 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: much the same person I think in terms of what 190 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: they can do on the football field. Meanwhile, Dalton Schultz 191 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: comes in, and I don't know how you feel. I 192 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: feel like he walks in at least right now, it's 193 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: the number one target in that offense. I don't know 194 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: who the quarterback's going to be, but it does feel 195 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: like Schultz gets a boost in the tight end rankings 196 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: just because he should be a target magnet this year. 197 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: I see that point completely. I do want to see 198 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: what the Texans do in the draft because at number twelve, 199 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: like I'm still holding out hope that if they get CJ. Stroud, 200 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: they pair like Jason with him or something like that. 201 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: John Metchi is going to return as well. But I 202 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: do think Dalton Schultz will be the top target at 203 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: least as of now. I think he should still kind 204 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: of go where he like right now, his ADP is 205 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: tight end eleven. If you want to boost him ahead 206 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: of like Pat Fryarmouth, I'm okay with that, But after that, 207 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: there's no like, I don't Kelsey obviously, Andrews, Hawkinson, Kittle, Pitts, Goddard, 208 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, Darren Waller, David and Joke, who are still 209 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: all tight ends that I'd rather have right now? I 210 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: put Schultz in the group with friar Muth, Dawson Knox, 211 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: and Cole Comet and and a conquo like if you 212 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: don't get one of those top what is that eight 213 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: tight ends? Like those are solid fallback options, and then 214 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: it just becomes a who's who of like the normal 215 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: tight endness where it's like this guy could give me 216 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: great one week and terrible the next. Yeah, I mean, 217 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: I think that's sort of what it is. I'm holding 218 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: out hope that Schultz maybe is a little bit better 219 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: than than friar Muth. You know, I think for in Joku, 220 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: a lot of it depends on which version of Deshaun 221 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: Watson we see this year. You know, if it's the 222 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson we saw last year, then I'm I'm sort 223 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: of out. If it's the Watson that we saw those 224 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: years in Houston, then I'm excited about Joku, you know, 225 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: so I like Schultz as a player. I do think 226 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 1: the opportunity is going to be good. I'm going to 227 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: keep an eye though, on the quarterback situation in Houston 228 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: that may impact quite a bit of it. You know, 229 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: they've got a shot to get one of the top 230 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: quarterbacks potentially, so we'll see what they what they decide 231 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: to do there if they want to make a move 232 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: at that position. Devin Singletary gone from Buffalo, so that 233 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: leaves a spot open there. The Bills stay in the 234 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: division and they signed Damian Harris, who a couple years 235 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: ago had that big season with what fifteen rushing touchdowns. 236 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: It was last year a little bit underwhelming as it 237 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: turned into Ramondre Stevenson seasonson. In New England, we were 238 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: sort of excited at least I thought we were about 239 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: James Cook and potentially what he could be. Does this 240 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: put a dent in that potential for a Cook I 241 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: mean a little bit, But I think if you were 242 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: wanting to be excited for James Cook, this is a 243 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: win because the other names that were tied. I know, 244 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't think Zeke Elliott is great anymore, but Zeke Elliott, 245 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette, we heard Dalvin Cook, Derek Henry. If they 246 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: got a big name back, maybe he threw Leonard Fournette 247 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: out of that group, like they were gonna be a 248 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: bigger threat to get a lot of work than Damian Harris. 249 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: With Damian Harris, I think the Bills accomplished what they wanted, 250 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: getting a bigger back, a shortyard guy, someone they could 251 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: use near the goal line. But last season, just comparing 252 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: last season, James Cook had more rushing yards on fewer carries. 253 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: He averaged more yards per carry, more rushing yards over expectation, 254 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: yards before contact, yards after contact, big runs, everything. He 255 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: was just better across the board. Plus he's the better receiver. 256 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: So I continue to say, like I'd rather James Cook 257 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: than Damien Harris, especially because until it happens, I refuse 258 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: to believe the Bills are just going to be like, 259 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: let's not let Josh Allen run, especially near the goal line. 260 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,239 Speaker 1: And if you're drafting Damien Harris, you're hoping for rushing touchdowns. 261 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: I don't feel confident that he's gonna have a whole 262 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: bunch that you just you just blew up My whole 263 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: argument for Damien Harris that was like no, but that 264 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: was my thought is that he's going to be that 265 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: guy who's going to take those opportunities that at some point, 266 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: as effective as Josh Allen has been and as big 267 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: and strong as he is, the Bills do have a 268 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: lot of money tied up in him, and you wonder 269 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: if they're going to start to tell him, hey, maybe 270 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: don't at least not so they should. But I don't 271 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: know until like we said this last year now, and 272 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: part of me thinks it's Josh Allen as well, Like 273 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: I know the Bills tell him not to but his 274 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: response is always like I'm a football player, right, And 275 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: it's like until he decides not to do it, you 276 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: coaches can only say so much. I think that's you know, 277 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: that definitely something to sort of to keep in mind. 278 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: The other part of Damien Harris is that the draft 279 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: price is reasonable, right, he's RB forty seven right now. 280 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: In fact, at this moment as of last check, he's 281 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: going after Ezekiel Elliott. That may flip flop very soon, 282 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: who knows, But you're not. You're not spending anything to 283 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: get him in draft, right, even James Cook, like maybe 284 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: RB three price. But I would not want to draft 285 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: James Cook to be like my starting running back. Yeah no, 286 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that either. Again, until we figure out 287 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: what Josh Allen is going to do. If he's going 288 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: to stop running for all of the touchdowns, then it 289 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: gets a lot harder to figure out the Bill's running 290 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: back situation. Last piece of fantasy related free agency news, 291 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: Adam feel has a new home. After spending his entire 292 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: career with the Minnesota Vikings, he heads down to Carolina 293 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: and signs with the Panthers. Well have made some sort 294 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: of interesting moves. Obviously, we wait to see what they're 295 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: going to do with the number one overall pick, but 296 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: they do add Adam Feeling. Admittedly he's been on the 297 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: decline the last few years. How much does this change 298 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: your interest level in him? If at all? For me, 299 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: not at I've been off at thel in for a 300 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: couple of years now, and people haven't been too happy 301 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: about that because he could still Like two years ago, 302 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: he was still scoring touchdowns and stuff, but that's kind 303 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: of all he is now at this point, But my 304 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: thinking has been he's the de facto number one on 305 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: the Panthers, so people are gonna say, well, he's gonna 306 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: get all the volume, he's gonna be a rookie quarterback's 307 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: best friend. So I think he still will get pulled 308 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: up to like wide receiver three range, and I'd rather 309 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: just take someone that has more upside at that point. Also, 310 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm not fully convinced that the Panthers aren't gonna draft 311 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson number one. Well, and I'm not sure if 312 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. I think it's a great thing 313 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: for Anthony Richardson, I'm not sure if that's a good 314 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: thing for Adam. Yeah, I'm with you, though I'm kind 315 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: of out on Feeland. The decline has been very noticeable 316 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: over the last few years, and last year with him 317 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: scoring just six touchdowns. It worked a couple of years before, 318 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: right he had fourteen, and twenty twenty he had ten. 319 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one he dropped off to six, you know, 320 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: and I think even at his best this year, I 321 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: don't know that he's a thousand yard receiver. I don't 322 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: know that he's going to get you double digit touchdowns. 323 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: So I think you're looking at, at best, probably a 324 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver three out of Adam Feeland. I think that's 325 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: how I would draft him, and right if they if 326 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: they don't go with CJ. Stroud or Bryce Young, then 327 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: I think you got to rethink that as well. For 328 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: Theeland there, I want to take a quick look at 329 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: some of the other notable names still out there in 330 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: free agency, and I pulled this list from Greg Rosenthal's 331 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: Top one oh one free Agents living document that changes 332 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: every time somebody is added. And the quarterbacks. Teddy Bridgewater 333 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: kind of the most remarkable name out there. I don't 334 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: know how much time we need to spend on Teddy. 335 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: I mean, wherever he goes, he's probably going to be 336 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: a backup. You're probably not drafting him for fantasy. The 337 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: end wide receivers though, kind of interesting. Odell Beckham Jr. 338 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: DJ Chark, Nelson Aglare. Now this is the order that 339 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: Greg has them in in his top one oh one. 340 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: He's got obj as his first wide receiver of that group, 341 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: then Charke then a galore. Sort of leaving aside that 342 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: nobody is really clamoring to draft Nelson Agalore in fantasy football. 343 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: Who would you rather have. Would it be Beckham or 344 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: would it be Chark? Chark, give me the guy who's 345 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: played football in the last calendar year, the guy who 346 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: is younger, isn't coming off of two major knee injuries, 347 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: and also who's a really good field stretcher. And I 348 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: know sometimes I feel like field stretchers because their job 349 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: is so hard, like it's the hardest downfield passes are 350 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: the hardest targets to reel in, so I don't know 351 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: if they always get the love that they deserve. But 352 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: DJ Chark has proven to be like a really reliable 353 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: feature in that regard. And I thought coming into the 354 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: free agency period that Chark, Jacoby Myers, or Juji would 355 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: get the largest wide receiver contract. That did not think 356 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: it would be Alan Lazard, and I did not think 357 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: DJ Chark would still just be sitting here waiting for 358 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: a job. But like a field stretcher could do so 359 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: much to change that real life offense and opened up 360 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: so much near the line of scrimmage that I thought Chark, 361 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: outside of Jacoby, him and Myers were my top two guys, 362 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: So I'll continue to be with DJ Chark. I'm very 363 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: surprised that DJ Chark is still out there. Because I'm 364 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: with you, I thought it was gonna be Jacoby Myers 365 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: or Chark that likely got the bag this offseason. I 366 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: thought I thought maybe Chark was in line. I mean, 367 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: this is how crazy I was. Apparently, I thought he 368 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: was gonna get Christian Kirk kind of numbers saying that 369 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: we were gonna look around and be like, man, DJ 370 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: Chark really got the bag. And but here we are 371 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: a week into the free agency period and no movement 372 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: on DJ Chark. You know, reports that the Lions are 373 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: still interested in bringing him back. You know, the Panthers 374 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: were supposed to be in but I wonder if that's 375 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,959 Speaker 1: changed now that they've added Adam Feeling. So he's still 376 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: just kind of sitting out there. And maybe it's because 377 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: he's never really had a big year. Had the one 378 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: big year in Jacksonville with a thousand yards, uh, followed 379 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: up with a decent season the year afterwards. You know, 380 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: was was banged up the last couple of years between 381 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: the Jags and the Lions. Yeah, I don't know. Somebody 382 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: pointed out, by the way, I think it was a 383 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: Mike Kay who covers the Panthers, that if if DJ 384 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: Chark were to go to Carolina, he would completely big 385 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: cat triumphrate by going from the Jaguars to the Lions 386 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: to the Panthers. Wow. Yeah, that good for him. Yeah, 387 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: if you were able to make that work. Um, you know, 388 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: just a side note. I don't know that it matters 389 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: at any point, um, but so all these guys out here, 390 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: I mean, where are good landing spots? Right? If? If 391 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: Carolina sort of out of the market for a wide 392 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: receiver at this point, you know, I thought, maybe Chark 393 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: to the Chargers because they need that speed. Is there 394 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: any place that really jumps out at you at needing 395 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver help that could use one of these three 396 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: guys I've been with you. I think the Chargers because 397 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: they need that outside speed and what it would do 398 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: to help open up stuff for Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, 399 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler, But for DJ Charks ultimate fan, because I 400 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: don't think that's the best case for charks fantasy value. 401 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: I just think it's the best for everyone else. I mean, 402 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: I don't want them to sign him because I want 403 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: to Darius Tony to be the number one, But the 404 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs have a glaring need at wide receiver the Giants, 405 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: I don't think. I mean, they brought in Darren Waller, 406 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: but they still Darius Layton is like their only guy 407 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: that could win downfield. Parris Campbell's a slot guy like 408 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: I think DJ Chark would go a long way with 409 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: the Giants. And then there was one other team, Oh, 410 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: the Titans. They still need wide receiver help, so maybe Heat, 411 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: but I don't love that landing spot. And the other 412 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: thought I had was maybe the Broncos if they trade 413 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: a Judy or Son, because we're hearing a lot of 414 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: rumors about those guys being shopped, maybe he comes in 415 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: and is the replacement there. But I'll throw one more 416 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: out for you. The Ravens, Yes, because I mean, obviously 417 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews is doing this thing and is great, and 418 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: you hope that when Rashad Bateman is healthy and ready 419 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: to go that he can add an element there. But 420 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: DJ Chark in Baltimore would be interesting, and maybe that 421 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: could help be the push to get Lamar back in 422 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: the fold, get him, you know, a little bit happier 423 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: with his situation. They could use wide receiver help, but 424 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: especially now with a new offensive coordinator in Todd Monkin, 425 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: I expect him to be probably a little bit more vertical, 426 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: a bit more aggressive throwing the football, and a guy 427 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: like DJ Chark could really help out. And seeing Lamar 428 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: be able to win with a downfield threat like Mark. 429 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: He's brown like, so I think that would be a 430 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: really good fit as well. Yeah, running backs, A couple 431 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: of names of interest that are out there Ezekiel Elliott 432 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: who is a post June first designation. He will be 433 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: a free agent, than Leonard Fournette who is still hanging 434 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: around there. Obviously, these are guys who are a little 435 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: bit older. A lot of wear and tear on some 436 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: of these guys, but still potentially productive. Now, I'll say this, 437 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: I don't expect either of these guys to be signed 438 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: for a while. I think it's definitely gonna be after 439 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: the draft for sure, before either of these guys really 440 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: gets any kind of attention. But what's the best case 441 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: scenario for a couple of aging backs who might still 442 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: have something left in the tank but are definitely no 443 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: longer frontline starters. That's the issue is not only like 444 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: looking through backfields right now. There's not like the Ravens 445 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: could always use some help because their guys have been 446 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: so banged up, but like there's not a glaring need 447 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: there maybe Philly, but Philly seems to be pretty content 448 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: with what they have right now. Like there's not a 449 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: lot of backfields. It seems to me like that are 450 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: searching for answers and if they are so pretty deep 451 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: draft class coming up, So I agree with you. I 452 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: think we're not going to really see any of this 453 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: happen until after the draft, especially because Austin Ekli right 454 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: now is potentially seeking the trade. We've heard Dalvin Cook 455 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: his name mentioned in maybe some trades or something like that, 456 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: and those guys are just better than Fournet and Zeke 457 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: at this point in their career. The one that stands 458 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: out to me and the one that I will keep 459 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: harping as like a great landing spot for a running 460 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: back is Miami. Jeff Wilson and Raheem Most were fine 461 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: last season. I don't really love either of four or 462 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: Zeke there. I wanted more explosive back, but I would 463 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: love to see this Miami offense with an upgrade at 464 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 1: running back. I wanted to see Miles Sanders in Miami, yep, 465 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: really bad. That's what I've loved to see and I 466 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: just kept hearing this talk that Miami wanted to make 467 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: a splash, they wanted to do something big in free agency, 468 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: and then they bring back the three guys that they had. 469 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: They signed Wilson, they resigned Moster, they resigned Miles Gasket. 470 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's the opposite of making a splash. So 471 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: as I'm looking around, like I don't see any real 472 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: obvious landing spots for either one of these guys. I 473 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: do think we'll have to wait till after we get 474 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: through the draft. It might even be, you know, waiting 475 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: to see when we get into camp if you know, 476 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: somebody maybe suffers an injury and they need some help 477 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: at running back. But there just don't seem to be 478 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: any immediate obvious places for either Zeke or Fournette to go. 479 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: IRV Smith the most notable tight ends still out there 480 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: on the board. Now that Dalton Schultz has found a home. Look, 481 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: I have been team hashtag let IRV swerve? Is it 482 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: time to give up on that? Like he still kind 483 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: of hanging around? It never really happened in Minnesota. Do 484 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: I have to put this dream away? Now? I've been 485 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: with you on the Year of Smith train I'm never 486 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: gonna fully be ready to let this go. I still 487 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: think he's a very capable tight end. The issue is 488 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: I kind of think he's going to be in the 489 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: same boat as Fournette and Zeke where he might have 490 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: to wait a while to sign if he hasn't already. 491 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: Because Daniel Jeremiah talks about it all the time, there 492 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: might be like double digit starting caliber tight ends in 493 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: this draft class. He says it's the one of, if 494 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: not the deepest draft classes that he is scouted, and 495 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: he's been doing this a long time, so that we're 496 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: against IRV Smith, and there's plenty of teams that can 497 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: use a tight end upgrade. Like I'm not even sure 498 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: if the Dolphins have a tight end on their active 499 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: roster right now, But there's so much um depth in 500 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: this draft class that I think teams are gonna see 501 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: how the draft shakes out and then maybe go after 502 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: some of these remaining tight enns. Yeah, so I think 503 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: for IRV, I mean, it really is a situation where 504 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: you're kind of in a bad spot right now. I mean, 505 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: especially having been hurt for much of the year last year, 506 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: really didn't get to go out and show much of anything, 507 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: and there's just not a market at the moment. By 508 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: the way, the current tight ends for the Dolphins Tanner Connor, 509 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: Eric Saubert and Durham Smithe Yeah, that's if that does anything. 510 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: Guy Hunter Long, Hunter Long, Man, I was excited everybody. 511 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: It's funny too because Hunter Long has one career NFL catch, 512 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: but like fantasy folks still love him. They love the 513 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: talent profile for Hunter Long. It's like, you know, so 514 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: many place like what was the Packers wide receiver um 515 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: the fantasy Jeff Jeff Jennis. Yeah, people never were ready 516 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 1: to let that one. Jeff Janis fanboy love was insane, man, 517 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: especially because even the catching a hail marry in a 518 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: game from from Aaron Rodgers and the Jeff Janis hive 519 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: went berserk. Certain players that Andy Isabella was another one. 520 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: Like people me just as a community, we refuse to 521 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: like go with some of them. Oh man. So uh yeah, 522 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: the the Dolphins definitely needs some tighten help. Curious to 523 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: see what they do there, whether or not they decide 524 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: to make a move in the draft. That gets us 525 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,239 Speaker 1: pretty much caught up on free agency. We got more 526 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: stuff to talk about that We'll take a break come 527 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: back and we'll look at some ADPs now that free 528 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: agents have sort of moved around and see whether or 529 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: not we like where some of these other players have 530 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: landed when it comes to drafts. Also do a little 531 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: face off at the end with Florio's film Festival that's 532 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: coming up next. You're on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. 533 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: Time to play a little old draft. Price is right, 534 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: I need my Bob Barker skinny microphone and tell you 535 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: to help control the pet population, spaying new to your 536 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: pets and all that good stuff like Bob used to do. 537 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: You did on Fantasy Live the other day, The Prices Right, 538 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: like losing sound. I was like, it sounded like I 539 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: was on the Prices Right. It was very well done. Thanks. 540 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: It's funny, you know. It's like I said, it's been 541 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: raining here in Los Angeles, like rainy days remind me 542 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: of like staying home from school, maybe being sick, or 543 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: just being at Grandma's house, and like The Prices Right, 544 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: being on the TV in the middle of the day 545 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: before Her Stories came out one of my favorite shows, 546 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: when I was like, Parce is great. It's not the 547 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: same with Drew Carey. It just it just doesn't feel 548 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,479 Speaker 1: right with Drew carry hosting it. That's all. But anyway 549 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: for fantasy price is right. I went and looked at 550 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: some ADPs for best balls over on suld we say underdog. 551 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say underdog because that's that's where it comes from, right, 552 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: it's over at over an underdog where a lot of 553 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: folks were doing best ball drafts, I wouldn't looked at 554 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: their ADPs, pulled out a handful of names, and I 555 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on are you okay with 556 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: their current draft price or do you think it needs 557 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: to be up or down or wherever. Start with Justin Fields, 558 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: who obviously had a very good season last year for 559 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: fantasy does get the wide receiver upgrade. With Dj Moore 560 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: being traded, there still a chance the Bears could go 561 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: out and draft a guy like Jackson Smith and Jigba 562 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: in the first round. Right now, Justin Fields is the 563 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: QB four overall. He's going thirty third off the board. 564 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: So you were looking somewhere late in the third round 565 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: for Justin Fields? Too high? Too low? Just right? I 566 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: think it's just right. We did on Fantasy Live the 567 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: other day that my top ten early quarterback rankings, and 568 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: I had Fields at five, but I went back and 569 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: forth between him and Joe Burrow for four and five. 570 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: So for me, I think there's a big three of 571 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: Alan Hurtz Mahomes, and then I think the next year 572 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: starts with Burrow and Fields, so any order you want 573 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: to put them in. And Justin Fields got better as 574 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: the year went on as a passer, but there's still 575 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: so much room for him to improve. He last season 576 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: was the QB six in fantasy. He didn't throw for 577 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: two hundred, two thousand and three hundred yards and he 578 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: only threw seventeen touchdowns. Like it is very possible he 579 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: could almost or actually even double his passing stats from 580 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: last year. That's how low his numbers were because DJ Moore, 581 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney, Chase Claypool, and remember after they got Claypool, 582 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: Mooney got hurt. Like this is gonna be by far 583 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: the best allotment of weapons that Justin Fields ever has. 584 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: Plus he can run like he's Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts. 585 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm fine with taking him at QB four. 586 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I do think the camp at least the 587 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: hoped for comp is Jalen Hurts, a guy who his 588 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: first couple of years, we knew he had the rushing ability, 589 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: We knew he was a good fantasy quarterback, and we 590 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: were waiting to see whether or not he could translate 591 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: that into being an actual good NFL quarterback. He made 592 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: the leap, and I think the hope for a lot 593 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 1: of us is Justin Fields can make the leap. As 594 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned last season, twenty two forty two, that was 595 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: the yardage total for him, So not even twenty three 596 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: hundred yards passing for Justin Fields, but that rushing total 597 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: is what kept everybody interested. When you were able to 598 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: run for eleven hundred yards, everybody's going to pay attention 599 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: to that. So even if the rushing numbers come down, 600 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: but he gets you over three thousand passing yards, if 601 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: he can get you twenty five passing touchdowns, that starts 602 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: to even things out. And it does look more like 603 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: you know what we've seen out of Jalen Hurts, you 604 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: know what we saw out of early Josh Allen, And 605 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: so I guess four does that sort of makes sense. 606 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: On the flip side, Geno Smith, coming off his best 607 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: career season is the QB eighteen. He's going one hundred 608 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: and twenty first overall, so you're looking at what the 609 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: tenth round. Basically, he's become one of the guys that 610 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: you want if you wait on a quarterback. But QB 611 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: eighteen that seems weirdly low to me after what he 612 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 1: did last season. Yeah, so my first thought was like, 613 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: that's way too low. Like I didn't have him in 614 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,719 Speaker 1: my top ten. I don't even think I'll have him 615 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: in my twelve. But I keep saying like he is 616 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: one of the strongest fallback options. I think, But then 617 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: I look at the quarterbacks going ahead of him, Deshaun Watson. 618 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: I'd rather take the sean On Watson over Smith. Daniel Jones. 619 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: I think him and Genial Smith are super close. The 620 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: only thing that Jones has is he runs more. Aaron Rodgers. 621 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: I understand the thinking of taking him over him. Jared Goff. 622 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: I understand the thinking there because Goff put up good numbers. Russ. 623 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: I could see a Russ bounce back, so I Sean 624 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: Payton fact, Yeah, with Russ, I agree with that. Trey Lance, 625 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: as much as I love Trey Lance, that he's going 626 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: pretty high at right now. Kirk Cousins is going pretty high. 627 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: Right now. So there's a couple of names I would 628 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: push Gino over, but QB two is now that I'm 629 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: really looking at it, because Derek car is still behind him. 630 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: Then you have the rookies like well, I keep saying 631 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: there's a clear top eight. I think there is depth. 632 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: I think you're just they all come with question marks 633 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to hope you choose the right guy. 634 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: The Trey Lance one, I'm I'm still trying to wrap 635 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: my head around a little bit. I understand, and based 636 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: on the talent profile. While people would take the shot 637 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: at him, I just wonder does he have a job. 638 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Brock Purdy's had surgery. The timeline is such 639 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: that they expect he'll be ready for the start of 640 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: the season. The Niners are certainly hoping that. You know, 641 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: I would hope, I would think Trey Lance could beat 642 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: out Sam Darnold in a competition if it came to it. 643 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: But it just seems like the Niners aren't really planning 644 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: on Lance being their starting quarterback, and so that makes 645 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: it hard for me to draft him above a guy 646 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: like Rogers or Golf or Gino Smith. That's the one 647 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: that maybe makes me scratch my head a little bit. 648 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: I just you know better than me. But it doesn't 649 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: feel to me like the Niners are invested in Trey Lance, 650 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 1: like a team that took a quarterback third overall would be. 651 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: They kind of aren't, And I think they were until 652 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: brock Purty happened and then they're like, oh, look at this, 653 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: look at when we found and so yeah, the urgency 654 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: to get Trey Lance back in there and on the 655 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: field has certainly diminished because they feel pretty confident with 656 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: the quarterback that they have right now, again, provided that 657 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: Purdy is healthy and ready to go at the start 658 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: of the season. The interesting one, the big one here, 659 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: Bijean Robinson. I mentioned this on Fantasy Live on our 660 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: Free Agency fallout show on Monday, that Bijean Robinson is 661 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: going right now as the RB four in Bestball Drafts, 662 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: thirteenth overall. He is one slot behind Austin Eckler, one 663 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: slot ahead of se Quon Barkley. People love themselves some Bijeon. 664 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: This feels like the drafting him and his absolutely and like, 665 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: I don't mind drafting a running back in the first round, 666 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: a rookie running back in the first round. If we 667 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: feel like that guy can be that guy, But this 668 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: feels like taking him into ceiling in March. That's crazy 669 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: to me. Yep it is, and I love being listen. 670 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: Everyone loves be Jean Robinson. He needs by far the 671 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: best running back prospect in this class, and I would 672 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: say since Kuon Barkley. He can run with power. He's explosive, 673 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: he can He's one of the most elusive running backs 674 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: that I think I've ever seen. He is so side 675 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: a side and he could like juke without missing a 676 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: step down field. It's remarkable his talent. But we saw 677 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: this happen pre NFL Draft with Javontay Williams a couple 678 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: of years ago. Not saying Javonta is the same level 679 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: of prospect of Bijan because I just said Bejan is 680 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: the best in sa Quan. But Javant was going in 681 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: the second round of Best Ball drafts. Then he ended 682 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: up getting drafted by the Broncos and his ADP fell 683 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: to like the fifth or six rounds. So people love 684 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: to push in all their chips early and be like, 685 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: I was on this guy before anyone, and no one's 686 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: on Bijean Robinson before anyone. Everyone's Robinson. But to me, 687 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: this feels like you're anticipating him going to the Eagles 688 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: or the Bills or someone like that, like a high 689 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: powered offense where he can come in and dominate touches. 690 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: I right now, like I would still, I could easily 691 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: make the case for sa Quon over him, Kenneth Walker, 692 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, Jacob's Like, to me, there's a top eight 693 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: running backs right now, Bijean belongs in the eighth, but 694 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if he belongs at four. Like I'm 695 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: much more comfortable with him at eight. I mean, I'm 696 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: just telling this. This feels like the absolute ceiling, Like 697 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: I can't imagine it getting any higher. Even if he 698 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: goes to Philadelphia. I don't know that he can get 699 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: any higher in terms of what his draft price is 700 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: going to be. When the guy's ahead of him are McCaffrey, 701 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, and Austin Ekeler. I feel like there's only 702 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: space to go down for Robinson, and it almost is 703 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: worth waiting it out to see if that ADP comes 704 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: down even just a few notches. Um Breecee Hall or 705 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: Bijean Robinson. Right now, I would go Bijean just because 706 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: Bruce is coming off the ACL injury. But landing spot 707 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: is because I think what we do a lot of 708 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: the times, this is like we put the pie in 709 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: the sky landing spot, but like the cow we were 710 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: talking about it off air, the Cowboys could easily take 711 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: everything the Patriots have been tied to Bijean Robinson, Like, 712 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be a very good fantasy fits. So to me, 713 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: you're you're taking a shot on the unknown, But I 714 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: agree with you, like is taking him fourth overall? Can 715 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: he really go up from there? I don't think. Yeah, 716 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't think he can. So I 717 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: love the talent. I do, but I would be willing 718 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: to wait and see if maybe I can get a 719 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: slight minute discount on b Jean Robinson. Aaron Jones is 720 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: a guy that I feel like always sort of gets 721 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: disrespected when it comes to fantasy drafts. Right He's always 722 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: kind of hanging around. It would be like second or 723 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: third round for Aaron Jones and a lot of drafts 724 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: and he ends up, you know, being a fringe RB one. 725 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: When it's all said and done, right now, he's the 726 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: RB seventeen, which would make him kind of a lower 727 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: end RB two overall growing sixty first off the boards. 728 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: You're talking about a fifth round pick. Obviously, the Aaron 729 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: Rodgers news has a lot to do with it, but 730 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I'm torn. How do 731 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: you feel about it? I will too how I feel, 732 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: But I'm curious how you feel about Aaron Jones as 733 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: RB seventeen. I like that he's not going as an 734 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: RB one anymore. That was my biggest takeaway from the 735 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers trade was like, I don't think Aaron Jones 736 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: should be a fifth straight year going as an RB one, 737 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: but RB seventeen does especially Like At first, I was like, 738 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: that feels right, but then I looked at the names 739 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: ahead of him, Jamir Gibbs, another rookie. I would rather 740 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: have Aaron Jones than a rookie because landing spot is 741 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: going to greatly determine that value. Then there's Dalvin Cook. 742 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm okay taking Dalvin Cook over Aaron Jones. Naji Harris 743 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: was the other one that stood out to me. I 744 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: was like, we've forgotten how bad it was to have, 745 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: Like Naji had one good game in Fantasy last season 746 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: and that was it. So I would knock Naji behind 747 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: both Dalvin Cook and Aaron Jones. After that though, I'm 748 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: kind of like Ramondre Stephenson, Travis etn. And then the 749 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: round one running back like I'm I'm okay with all 750 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: of those guys going over. So then I mean, in 751 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: that case, it's it's just about right and I And 752 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: this is where where I'm torn because I look at 753 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: the names and there aren't too many guys that are 754 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: ahead of him currently that I would move below him. 755 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 1: So maybe he moves up a couple of spots. It's 756 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: not drastic, but it's also a part of me that 757 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: looks and looks at Jordan Love and says, you know what, 758 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: he still very much could lean on Aaron Jones this 759 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: year in the passing game. Uh. You know they lose 760 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,399 Speaker 1: Alan Lazard, you know, take that for what you will. 761 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: You know, Christian Watson is still there, but you know 762 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: there's not a lot in the Packers receiver room that 763 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: gets you excited. You know, Aaron Jones can catch the 764 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: football effectively. I think they may lean on he and 765 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: aj Dillon to run the ball this year. So I 766 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: do still see a path for Jones to get a 767 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 1: whole lot of opportunity in this offense. And as long 768 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: as Love is decent as a quarterback, he doesn't have 769 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 1: to be Aaron Rodgers level. He just has to not 770 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 1: be a disaster at quarterback, and Aaron Jones can keep 771 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: some values. So on the one hand, I do see 772 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: a path for him to maybe kind of finish as 773 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: a fringe maybe maybe not in the top twelve, but 774 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: just outside the top twelve. But then again, um, I 775 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: don't see too many names that I would jump Aaron 776 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: Jones ahead of too, So it's I'm sort of torn 777 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: on that one for Jones. Calvin Ridley coming back after 778 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: his suspension and it'll be the first time we've seen 779 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: him on the field in more than a year by 780 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: the time he gets to play again. Wide receiver nineteen 781 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,919 Speaker 1: overall thirty nine, is that a good spot for him? 782 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 1: I know we're hoping for big things, but wide receiver 783 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: nineteen does that feel okay? That feels okay to me. 784 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 1: I think the overall feels a little high, like thirty 785 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: eighth overall. I would anticipate. What I'm anticipating is a 786 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: lot of these receiver, not the high end guys who 787 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,479 Speaker 1: are going in the first round, but some of these, 788 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,959 Speaker 1: like third fourth round receivers. I think we'll get knocked 789 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: down a bit once we get more answers at the 790 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: running back position and we know which guys we can 791 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: trust and stuff. But I think wide receiver nineteen feels right, 792 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: like the name's going around him Amari Cooper, DeAndre Hopkins, 793 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: then it's Ridley, Mike Williams, DJ Moore, Like that feels 794 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: like a good tier for Calvin Ridley. I think people 795 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 1: maybe forget how explosive he is, how great of a 796 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: red zone option he is, because not only was he 797 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: suspended all of last year, the year before that was 798 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: the year where he had to take time off because 799 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: of his mental health and stuff. So it's been a 800 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: while since we've really seen a full season of Calvin Ridley. 801 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 1: But front of the Show Matt Harmon reception, Yeah, he 802 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: posted that, like, Calvin Ridley is off the charts with 803 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: his route running and everything. So to me, Calvin Ridley 804 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: is gonna arguably be having a quarterback upgrade from what 805 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 1: end of career Matt Ryan kind of was, plus more 806 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: help around him that could take stuff off. He was 807 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 1: saying in his article that he wrote that first year 808 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: where he took the time off two years ago. It 809 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 1: was his first year without Julio, and he was really 810 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: struggling to adjust to being like the only guy out there. 811 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: He's not going to be that in Jacksonville. He also 812 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: said in that article fourteen hundred yards incoming, yeah, or 813 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: the Jaguars that got me hyped. That got a lot 814 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: of people high. I mean, honestly, it was like, you know, 815 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: far down importance in the actual story and it's worth reading. 816 00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: Go if you haven't found it yet, go go check 817 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: it out out. But for all those fantasy folks are like, oh, 818 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: fourteen hundred yards, it was kind of like okay, um. 819 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,800 Speaker 1: And so because of that, maybe it's me being hyped 820 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: up on that and being hyped up on the skill 821 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: set and what he is that makes me feel like 822 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: I'd be willing to reach above where that is to 823 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: bring him in. The thing that sort of tempers my 824 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: expectations is, as you mentioned, there's a lot of people 825 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: there in Jacksonville, right, Christian Kirk coming off a good season, 826 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram coming off one of his best seasons, Zay 827 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: Jones having a great year as well. There's so many 828 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: places for Trevor Lawrence to go with the football that 829 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: it's hard. You hope that Ridley can get to fourteen hundred, 830 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,919 Speaker 1: but it's also you know, reasonable to think, hey man, 831 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: maybe eleven hundred yards is the ceiling. I sign up 832 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: for that too. So which of these names would you 833 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: pull him ahead of? Like d Hop right now, not 834 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: knowing where he's going to play? Yeah, I mean, I 835 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,720 Speaker 1: think the Hop is a question mark. What about Debo? 836 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 1: I Deebo? I might might depend on the quarterback situation 837 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 1: makes sense, you know, if it's Brock Purty, I'm fine 838 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: with Deebo, it's Trey Lance, Yeah, I might. I might 839 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: think twice about it. Uh, you know, that's a good question. 840 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: That's a good question. Maybe it's hard. Hop is definitely one. 841 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: Maybe Amari Cooper that was the other one. I was 842 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: thinking potentially, um, But yeah, that's that's the kind of 843 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: hard part too. Right. If you're like, if you're gonna 844 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: move somebody up, the question is who do you move down? 845 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: And that's that's a hard one to figure out. By 846 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: the way, I'm on Ross Saint Brown, it wide receiver ten, 847 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: Like let's go the sun Guide in the top ten. 848 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,720 Speaker 1: He he deserves it. I mean he I'm very excited 849 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: about the Lions offense. It's gonna be great, man, And 850 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad we're over the is. I'm on Ross Saint 851 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: Brown actually good Like I'm glad we've put that conversation 852 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: to be at this point. Last one, Christian Watson talked 853 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,399 Speaker 1: about Aaron Jones and what the potential departure of Aaron 854 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: Rodgers means for him. For Christian Watson, the guy who 855 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: was red hot at the end of last season. Right now, 856 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: the wide receiver twenty two overall forty four. This is 857 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,919 Speaker 1: another one though, sort of like Ridley, like the wide 858 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: receiver twenty two seems okay. Forty four though you're talking 859 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: about what fourth round. Yeah, Christian Watson, that seems a 860 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,720 Speaker 1: little spicy. I think this is a little too high. 861 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: And I was super bullish on Christian Watson at the 862 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: end of last season. I think he was a league winner. 863 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 1: He helped me win a league. I'm sure he helped 864 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: many other people win their fantasy leagues. But you go 865 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: from one of the greats ever in Aaron Rodgers. And 866 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: I know Aaron Rodgers was an MVP form last year, 867 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: but him and Christian Watson were still they had chemistry 868 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: there and like Rogers was able to put the deep 869 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: ball where it needed to be downfield for Christian Watson 870 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: to get there. Can Jordan Love do that? I don't know, maybe, 871 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: but we really haven't seen it a whole lot. And 872 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: because of that, because there's so much unknowns, I think 873 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: Christian Watson should take a hit a little bit. Michael 874 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: Pittman junior versus him, I think in bestball, I understand 875 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 1: why Watson's going so high because as you're chasing those 876 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: massive weeks, those like twenty five thirty point weeks, and 877 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: he's a receiver that can do it. Not everyone can, 878 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: but in you like a redraft, I think Michael Pittman, 879 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,720 Speaker 1: you can make a case Silver Watson, Drake London, Terry McLaurin. 880 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: I think in either format should be going ahead of 881 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: Christian Watson. And then, uh, this might be spicy. Jamison 882 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: Williams goes wide receiver thirty one overall, I would easily 883 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: put him ahead of Christian Way. I mean, I'm looking 884 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: at Jamison Williams where he is, I would right now 885 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: probably put him ahead of Chris Godwin. I know it's 886 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: kind of crazy to think I put him ahead of 887 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: Chris Godwin probably Keenan Allen. I hate to say put 888 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 1: him go ahead of Drake London, just because I have 889 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: no idea what the Falcons are doing offensively at this point. 890 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: So Jamison Williams can definitely move up. But I do 891 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 1: think that the Christian Watson kind of gets the benefit 892 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,399 Speaker 1: of this being a best ball draft, and I think 893 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: that's that's sort of worth noting because you don't have 894 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: to worry about in week to week. You just, you know, 895 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: you just take advantage of those spike weeks when they happen, 896 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: and so maybe that the potential is what lands him 897 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 1: where we're here. Let's quick look at some ADPs. I'm 898 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 1: sure we will do plenty more, especially after the draft 899 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: than once we have an idea of where the rookies 900 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: are going to be. That'll shift ADPs again. So we'll 901 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,720 Speaker 1: do this again at some point in the near future. 902 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: All right, let's do this. Florio's Film Festival is back 903 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: after a two week hiatus, and this week's movie is 904 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: Face Off from nineteen ninety seven. To foil a terrorist 905 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 1: plot in FBI, agent undergoes facial transplant surgery to assume 906 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: the identity of the criminal mastermind who murdered his only 907 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 1: son with the criminal wakes up prematurely and seeks revenge. 908 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: Directed by John Woo, starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. 909 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 1: Released June twenty seventh, nineteen ninety seven, with a budget 910 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,720 Speaker 1: of eighty million gross two hundred and forty five million 911 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: dollars worldwide. Michael left Florio, you said you had thoughts. 912 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: I am ready to hear your thoughts on this cinematic epic. 913 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 1: My first thing and the thing I kept wondering throughout 914 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: this movie was why. It's like, why why is all 915 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: of this going on right now? Also, like his son 916 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: gets shot and it's supposed to be a sad scene, 917 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know who either of 918 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: these people are, Like, I'm not impacted at all by this. 919 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: There was That was the thing. There was no connection 920 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: with me, at least to any of the characters. I thought. 921 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,359 Speaker 1: There was definitely some funny parts, some parts that maybe 922 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 1: weren't intending to be funny that made me crack up. 923 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: It also seemed to me almost like kind of what 924 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 1: like the Fast and Furious movies do now, where it's 925 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: just like over the top and crazy action I was like, 926 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: this hats have been that in ninety seven. Like there's 927 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: parts of this movie where Nick Cage is running with 928 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: a shotgun in one hand and like a handgun in another, 929 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: and he's just firing both as runs. I'm like, what 930 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,919 Speaker 1: is going on here? But uh, my favorite the big 931 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: unanswered question I had. Um, there's a scene at the 932 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: end when like they meet up. I don't know, I'm 933 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 1: just gonna call them by the John Travolta and their 934 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 1: cage because I don't know their characters names. Um, I 935 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: forgot him. But they meet up and Nick Cage says, 936 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 1: I don't know what I hate more, being trapped in 937 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: your face or your body. And I was like, but 938 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,720 Speaker 1: I thought you were in your own body wearing his face. 939 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: Which yes, technically they stayed in their own bodies and 940 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: they had cosmetic surgeries. Because here's the thing they had 941 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: to sort of work around the fact they had to 942 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 1: write around the fact that physically, John Travolta and Nicholas 943 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 1: Cage have very different body types. One is taller than 944 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 1: the other, ones a little bit heavier than the other. 945 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: They have different face shapes. There's right around that their 946 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: shoulders are massively different right, like Nick Cages are like dad, 947 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,320 Speaker 1: and and that was I was like, his wife wouldn't 948 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: realize that. Why wouldn't be like, hey, why is your 949 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 1: face on a completely different humans body? I you know 950 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 1: they're I went back. I went back and rewatch it 951 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: because it had been a while, admittedly since I had 952 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 1: watched it from start to finish, and I really forgot 953 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: how unintentionally funny the movie was. Um, it is absolutely hilarious. 954 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean, one, you have Nick Cage being Nick Cage 955 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: and just chewing scenery the whole time, and we meet him, 956 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: we meet Castor Troy, his character, that's it. Yes, when 957 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 1: he is at the La Convention Center and there is 958 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:30,919 Speaker 1: a youth choir randomly singing choral music in the middle 959 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: of the LA Convention Center on her, which is bizarre, 960 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: Like I've been at the LA Convention Center, Like that 961 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: just doesn't really happen. But Nick Cage, dressed as a priest, 962 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,800 Speaker 1: goes and, let's be honest, like physically assaults a young lady, 963 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: just grabs her, grabs her rear in while she's singing 964 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 1: her here's like a close up shot of that happening too. 965 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 1: I was like, this wouldn't fly today and like and no, 966 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 1: but no one acquire notices or says it just like 967 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: takes us a couple She just lets it go like 968 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: no big deal. Some stranger just walks up to you 969 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: and grabs your butt and like it's not a big deal, 970 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 1: over the top action. It's it's a John Wu staple. 971 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 1: If you ever seen another John Wu film, there there 972 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 1: are a lot of John Wu elements in this movie. 973 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 1: A lot of obviously explosions and gunfire, a lot of 974 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,319 Speaker 1: slow motion, and you always have a scene where there 975 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 1: are doves randomly flying and that was you had it 976 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 1: at the end where you have a shootout in a 977 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: church and randomly there are doves flying through the church 978 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 1: at the end. That is a John Wu thing. I 979 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: didn't I didn't pick that up. Like I was just like, oh, 980 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: but yeah, no, that's definitely a big, a big part 981 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 1: of it. I had a lot of stuff that I 982 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: was wondering, like what Nick Cage I thought was the 983 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: best part of the movie. Oh yes, Um, he's really 984 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 1: the best part of any movie he's in. Yeah, like 985 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,479 Speaker 1: his facial expressions, everything. One part that made me crack 986 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: up was when he's in prison, which I was like 987 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 1: what are these boots that they have to wear? Like, 988 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 1: But and he said, what's his character's name, Caster Troy. 989 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 1: So he's chanting I'm Caster Troy. Yeah, and then he 990 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 1: starts like crying, like I know, you're supposed to feel bad. 991 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, he's see personate the person who killed 992 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: his son, and must be terrible. I was like hysterical 993 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: laughing at that point. I mean, he's in a prison 994 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 1: wearing magnetic boots. It's a prison, by the way, that 995 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 1: is a secret prison, apparently built inside an offshore oil rig. 996 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. When he escapes, he climbs up a ladder. 997 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,359 Speaker 1: It comes out of a hatch and he's on top 998 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: of an oil rig like in the middle of the 999 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 1: ocean or something like that. John Travolta at one point 1000 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: also is just like hanging off like a water tower 1001 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, he's a little different right now. 1002 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,359 Speaker 1: That's that's what makes you realize he's not talk. The 1003 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: coolest part of the movie actually, in my opinion, was 1004 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 1: how well each actor was able to portray the other one. 1005 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 1: So it's funny you say that's because one of the 1006 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 1: fun facts is Nicholas Cage and John Travolta spent two 1007 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,399 Speaker 1: weeks together before filming learn how to mimic each other, 1008 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 1: like they actually genuinely sound like the other person. I thought, 1009 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 1: maybe you can't change your voice, but like the mannerisms 1010 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 1: and how they were talking, I thought they did a 1011 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: great job. Yeah, I mean especially I think for Travolta, 1012 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 1: it's harder because Nick Cage is just so nanos and 1013 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 1: over the top all the time that he really had 1014 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: to kind of ham it up. But I thought they 1015 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: did a great job of that. By the way. Other 1016 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 1: pairs of actors that were considered for this movie included 1017 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:15,360 Speaker 1: Arnold Schwartzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford and Michael Douglas, 1018 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 1: which I don't know about that one. Bruce Willis and 1019 00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,239 Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin could have been interesting. That one would have 1020 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,880 Speaker 1: been good. Alpaccino and Robert de Niro, which I don't know. 1021 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: Now that I've seen Heat, I could not imagine them 1022 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 1: doing this movie. Like you have Heat, which is like 1023 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 1: very serious and dramatic, and then you have this which 1024 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,879 Speaker 1: is just over the top. M Jean Claude van Dam 1025 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 1: and Steven Seagal, which that might have been really really fun. Yeah, 1026 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,799 Speaker 1: with those two and Denzel Washington and Wesley Snipes, which 1027 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 1: I could I think I paid money to see that too. 1028 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: I would have paid a lot of money to see 1029 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 1: Arnold Schwartzenegger and Sylvester Stallone try to sound like the 1030 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 1: other one or try to act like the other first. Yeah, 1031 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 1: that would have been That would have been amazing to 1032 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:57,879 Speaker 1: kind of watch those two guys. Dude. Then they ended 1033 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 1: up in The Expendables, so I guess they got to 1034 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 1: work together anyway. Other fun notes, the studio wanted John 1035 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 1: Wood to take the slash out of the title. If 1036 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: you look at it, it's actually face slash off, but 1037 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,320 Speaker 1: he kept it in so people wouldn't think it was 1038 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 1: a hockey movie. That makes a lot of sense, because 1039 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 1: if you went anything in a hockey movie, you were 1040 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: gonna get incredibly confused. The one other thing I had 1041 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: that thought about this movie was I was happy that, 1042 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,959 Speaker 1: like in like the prison escape scene, people get got 1043 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, and in a lot of action movies, it's 1044 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,600 Speaker 1: just like I'm gonna punch the guards and then they're 1045 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 1: out of it for the whole Like no, no, no, no 1046 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 1: no no. They made this one like, hey, he's this 1047 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,719 Speaker 1: is how you would have to escape a maximum security price, 1048 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 1: So like that part was cool. It was just a 1049 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,759 Speaker 1: lot of over the top, Like it also felt like 1050 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,080 Speaker 1: um like Peter Griffin fighting the Chicken, almost like yes, 1051 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 1: like these two are gonna fight endlessly, no one's ever 1052 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,359 Speaker 1: gonna come out on top, and they're just for the 1053 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 1: rest of time going to I mean, Nick Cage says 1054 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,640 Speaker 1: like maybe we should just kill each other at one point, 1055 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 1: and it's like even he's like, what are we gonna 1056 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 1: be doing here? I mean the very last fight on 1057 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 1: the speedboat, like cruising around the harbor at ridiculous speed. 1058 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 1: That fight went on forever. It was like thirty minutes 1059 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 1: of movie times the boat crashes, they get hurled fifty 1060 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 1: feet in the air and still have enough image to 1061 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,879 Speaker 1: get up and keep fighting afterwards, like it's amazing. It 1062 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 1: felt like they were like, we need to have a 1063 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 1: fight in every type of like scenario that we can. 1064 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:27,759 Speaker 1: Like they were just like, we're gonna throw him on 1065 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 1: a boat, We're gonna throw him in the ocean, We'll 1066 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 1: throw him on in prison, like anywhere we could put him. 1067 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna make him fight. The other question I had was, 1068 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: how does like I understand Nick Cagees say his character 1069 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 1: is like, you know, a top gangster or whatever, a 1070 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 1: terrorist basically, yeah, how do they just like willy nilly 1071 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 1: just invade the FBI and like no one knows about it? Ye, 1072 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I don't know, Like, yeah, the 1073 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 1: f this this unit of the FBI, they don't seem 1074 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 1: well organized or or there's no oversight apparently for this 1075 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: this organization within the FBI. Just thought of one line too, 1076 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 1: when I forgot his name, but John Travolta when Sean Archer, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1077 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 1: after he like gets the bomb or whatever, and he's 1078 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,800 Speaker 1: like celebrating in the office and one of the workers 1079 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: is like, did you have a surgery? I was in 1080 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 1: tears at that. I was like, this is like they 1081 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 1: had a cram in like a bad action line that 1082 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 1: or actually, what I thought you were gonna say is 1083 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: actually after he diffuses the bomb and he's on the 1084 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,239 Speaker 1: news and they say, what do you have anything to 1085 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 1: say to the person who did this? And he said, 1086 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 1: if he's listening, interception, yes it's our ball now or whatever. 1087 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 1: Like I actually had to posit because I was laughing 1088 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: so hard. I was like, oh man, they're trying to 1089 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 1: put in like cool tough lines and just like I 1090 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,399 Speaker 1: don't know if we could, like I don't know, what 1091 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:47,920 Speaker 1: if we have the rights like we should, if we 1092 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 1: could clip that and like use that for the podcast 1093 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 1: where it's just John Travolta saying interception, we have the 1094 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 1: ball now or whatever it is, it'd be amazing. Should 1095 00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 1: be like Jameis Winston's catchphrase. All right. So, I mean 1096 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,919 Speaker 1: there's plenty of we could go on for a long 1097 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:07,160 Speaker 1: time talking about this. Would you watch this again? Probably not. 1098 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 1: I will say like when I watched T two and Speed, 1099 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: I was locked in, like I was this movie. More 1100 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 1: often than not, I caught myself being like, oh no, 1101 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 1: I have to put my phone down, like I need 1102 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 1: to pay attention. Because there was a lot of times 1103 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 1: where I'd be like like into it and then like 1104 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'd just be like, yeah, let's see 1105 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 1: what's going on to because I don't know. But maybe 1106 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,319 Speaker 1: if it was on like cable, I'd throw it off 1107 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:35,799 Speaker 1: for a little bit. But I don't think i'd ever 1108 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,759 Speaker 1: sit down and watch it from start to finish. This 1109 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,720 Speaker 1: is the first time I'd watched it start to finish 1110 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 1: in a long time, and like I said, I forgot 1111 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 1: how unintentionally hilarious it was. And this was different because 1112 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: the first two movies were universally loved, right, Terminator two 1113 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 1: one of the highest grossing films of all time. Speed 1114 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,240 Speaker 1: was both a critical and commercial success. People love that movie. 1115 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:58,799 Speaker 1: You know. When I said we were watching face Off, 1116 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 1: there were mixed reactions on the office. Ryan's Ryan couldn't 1117 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: do it the first time. Albert was like, it's the 1118 00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: best bad movie ever. Like, you know, they were, there 1119 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: were mixed There were mixed emotions about this way all right, 1120 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 1: would you sit down, someone who hadn't watched it in 1121 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: a while, would you sit down and watch it start 1122 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:21,719 Speaker 1: to finish again? Probably not sober, Probably not sober. No. Um, yeah, 1123 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: now that I've done this and I've done this for 1124 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 1: the first time in a while, like I feel like 1125 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 1: that's that's enough. I also love that. Um. John Travolta's 1126 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 1: family thing was just like to rub that and then 1127 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,880 Speaker 1: like that was always creepy to me, that the swiping 1128 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,240 Speaker 1: of the face and then it just becomes the stealing 1129 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 1: of it. I was like, I get that it's for 1130 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,680 Speaker 1: the movie, but yeah, just putting three fingers and running 1131 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,759 Speaker 1: them down someone's face that's weird, Like, don't don't do 1132 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 1: that to me, don't do that, but you know I'm 1133 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 1: going to take his face off like that. It all 1134 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 1: led here, like no, don't let that guy get drunks anymore. 1135 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:57,040 Speaker 1: Like that's the craziest one about this that it all, 1136 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,440 Speaker 1: It all led just to that one, that one moment. 1137 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,520 Speaker 1: All right, So we are back with a film festival 1138 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,000 Speaker 1: next week. Very excited for what we have coming up 1139 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 1: on next week's show. I was really debating about what 1140 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,400 Speaker 1: to do next week, but the fact that Quentin Tarantino 1141 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 1: has announced a new movie, which allegedly will be his 1142 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 1: final movie, coming out very soon, I felt like it 1143 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,799 Speaker 1: was time to go back to the one that really 1144 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,719 Speaker 1: sort of put him on the map. It wasn't his 1145 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: first film, but Pulp Fiction nineteen ninety four. That was 1146 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: the one that I think sort of launched him into 1147 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 1: the next level and made him a kind of a 1148 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 1: muscy director. It's a movie that, for me, the first 1149 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:36,879 Speaker 1: time I saw it really change the way I looked 1150 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 1: at movies. So Pulp Fiction next week, nineteen ninety four. 1151 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm excited because I love Quentin Tarantino movies like The 1152 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 1: Kill Bills, reguard Dogs Once upon a Time in Hollywood, 1153 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,800 Speaker 1: I thought was really good. I've only seen pulp fiction 1154 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,560 Speaker 1: once and it was not from start to finish. Okay, 1155 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: so like I'm very very and it was years ago. 1156 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 1: Like I'm very excited to watch this one because I'm like, 1157 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,720 Speaker 1: I love all of his other movies, so why wouldn't 1158 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 1: I love like the one that he gets so much 1159 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,400 Speaker 1: credit for being the one that launched him. So I 1160 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,320 Speaker 1: will say this because at spoiler alert, the story is 1161 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,759 Speaker 1: not told chronologically. You may have seen it from start 1162 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,879 Speaker 1: to finish and realize because it's sort of told out 1163 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 1: of order. But looking forward to that one, I always 1164 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 1: love launching producer Hype them just walked in, which now 1165 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:24,120 Speaker 1: tips the scales in favor of face loves face off. 1166 00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: He absolutely loves face off. He just did the face 1167 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 1: off maneuver as he sat down there, So yeah, that 1168 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,439 Speaker 1: that tips to scale. So we have more face off 1169 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 1: lovers in this room? Did face off non lovers in 1170 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 1: the room? Oh by way? Actual, I should we go 1171 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 1: back real quick. But before we get out of here, 1172 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,480 Speaker 1: um did get a note and I should have pulled 1173 00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: this up, and I'm sorry that it was in my 1174 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 1: email and I don't have it pulled up, but we 1175 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 1: talked about speed and I mentioned that there is a 1176 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,920 Speaker 1: Speed two. H someone mentioned to me in my email 1177 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 1: that there is a Speed three apparently, let's see. Oh 1178 00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,440 Speaker 1: from Mark Fairley, who a long time listener, first time 1179 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 1: calling after to the pot, I couldn't help but make 1180 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 1: you aware of Speed three, which is one of the 1181 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 1: best episode of the critically acclaim at nineties TV show 1182 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 1: Father Ted. I think it's actually I think it's I 1183 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: don't think it's real. I think it's actually a spoof. 1184 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: As part of I was gonna say, do I need 1185 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,240 Speaker 1: to like binge speed two and three because you told 1186 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: me two wasn't very good. Two wasn't very good. I 1187 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 1: never saw it too. I just heard it wasn't very good. 1188 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 1: It didn't do very well. Is the same things on 1189 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 1: a cruise ship, which seems a little bit harder to 1190 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 1: pull off than a bus. Yeah, basically, Also, you're in 1191 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,919 Speaker 1: the middle of the ocean, so just jump off the boat. Yeah, 1192 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: there's life boats, jump off the boat and like just 1193 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 1: let the boat keep on going. So yeah, so apparently 1194 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 1: Speed three is not actually real. It's it was a 1195 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 1: bit as part of a TV show, So anyway, that'll 1196 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,120 Speaker 1: do it for this edition for the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, 1197 00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 1: they happy, safe and healthy, do good and live well, 1198 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: Enjoy the weekend, stay drive you live in southern California, 1199 00:58:47,640 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you next week.
