1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, It's Thursday, February twenty sixth, twenty twenty six.

2
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

3
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: We Believe in Vitamin C.

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: It's Me and Man MG Marcus Grand joated by Michael Florio,

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Kwan Jones dnp Illness rest up man.

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: Right exactly. Yeah, he you know, sent.

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: Us a little Texas morning said he is not feeling great.

8
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: So we told him to ice up son, get better

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: and hopefully he'll be back for next week.

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: That Floria is.

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: The the other side of having kids, because they are

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: germ incubators and they hang out in spaces like schools

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: or daycares with other germ incubators. So like I remember

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: when we first sent our son to daycare, it was

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: almost every two weeks he was coming home with some

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: new sniffle or virus or cold, which would inevitably cycle

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: through the house. So you know, if you decide to

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: walk that path, just to just know that that's what's

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: coming for you.

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: I will say, every time I go hang out with

21
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 3: my niece and nephews back home and stuff, I usually

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: get sick. And then me and Kyrie were talking before

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: the show, Lakwan did like a quick New orleanship. I

24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: do a bunch of very quick trips because like fly

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: back home for weddings or whatever. I get sick every

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: time I do it. So like it was coming for

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: him whether he liked it or not. It was just

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: a matter of when not if.

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, between kids and airplanes, Yeah, it was bound to

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: take him down. So yeah, rest up, man, drink plenty

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: of fluids. Get invite him and seeing you. You know,

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: rest up and I will talk to you next week.

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean time for us, the two of us still here.

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: We're still going through our team needs. As free agency

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: hits in about a week and a half, there's definitely

36
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: some new some of the non free agent variety. Also,

37
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: the combine is coming up this week. I actually didn't

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: put any combine stuff in the in the rundown. I

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to good, Okay, good, because

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to chat about it.

41
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: But you know, I could make it a you know,

42
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: an exception. But the combine is happening this week in Indianapolis.

43
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: I like that more and more stuff is being like

44
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: like certain teams aren't even going to this, Like it's

45
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: more now kind of like for the media and.

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 2: You know, the.

47
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: Front offices and stuff to kind of all it's kind

48
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: of like the Winter Meetings is how I use the

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: combine now, and like it's the Winter Meetings. Just occasionally

50
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: someone who hopes to get drafted shows us that they're

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: very fast or something like that.

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think some of it is now we

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: have guys who train specifically for the combine, and the

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: more you do that, the more you start to realize

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: that the drills that they do there don't necessarily translate

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: to on field performance, you know. I mean, if you

57
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: have guys who are spending their time training, for instance,

58
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: for the forty, you know, those sorts of things, you know,

59
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of become overblown. I think in a lot

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: of regards, we always have the combined hype bunnies who

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: move up the board and don't necessarily perform once they

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: get to the NFL.

63
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: I think even the interview portion.

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Of it has become a little bit much with teams

65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: trying to find the weirdest, most esoteric.

66
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: Questions to ask.

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, side, what's the weirdest thing you've ever

68
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: been asked in a job interview?

69
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: Can you think of that.

70
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: Weirdest yeah, I had the first thing that comes to mind.

71
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: It's a terrible story in my mind.

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: I they usually are.

73
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: I would yeah, like right, Like, I had a first interview.

74
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: It was for a to run the sports department of

75
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: like a local newspaper where I'm from. And they were like,

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: you know, so I had a really long beard, like

77
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: the law I randomly post college. Was like, I'm gonna

78
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: grow my beard out. And it was like eight months

79
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: of just not shaving. Oh wow, and they were like,

80
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: we don't really love the beard. So for the second interview,

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: I shaved and I went in like clean, like kind

82
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: of how it is now. And then they were like,

83
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 3: you got the gig, but instead of it being full time,

84
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: we're gonna make it freelance per store. And I was like,

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: I shaved the same position I already have.

86
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: Like what are you doing?

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, that's terrible. I once had a job

88
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: I interviewed. I was going to be the sports editor

89
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: for kind of a local similar what you do, like

90
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: kind of a local news and information website.

91
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: Right. It was a kind of startup website.

92
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: And the guy who was my boss, my big boss,

93
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: he was above my boss, actually interviewed me and was

94
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: kind of just a strange dude, and I'll never forget.

95
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: He asked me, if you were a tree, what kind

96
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: of tree would you be?

97
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: And I yeah, I mean the look on your face

98
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: right now was sort of the I think the look.

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't I hope I didn't show it, but that's

100
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: definitely the look I had inside.

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: And I think I made up.

102
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: Something like I was like I think I said like

103
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: a palm tree or something, because like I can be strong,

104
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: but also it can be flexible and move with the wind.

105
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it just the whole thing caught

106
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: me off guard. I'm like, what does this have to

107
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: do with.

108
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 3: The That is a fantastic answer, though my first thought

109
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: was pained because I like Christmas, like you know, like

110
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: like that's a really good answer you had.

111
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: I think oak came into the end of my head

112
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: at some point.

113
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: I was just but I really was just like taken

114
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: aback by the whole thing, Like I have no idea.

115
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: What that like, you're printing on trees, that's the only

116
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 3: thing A tree kind of comes into this equation.

117
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: And we were in internet companies, so when we weren't.

118
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: Even doing that, you know, so I have no idea.

119
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: I have no idea where that man is nowadays. I

120
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: don't know that I particularly care. Uh. Anyway, we're talking

121
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: AFC North teams today, as we talked some free agent fits.

122
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: So we'll get through the AFC and the NFC North

123
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: as we do this. But let's start with a couple

124
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: of news headlines. Because in Denver, Sean Payton says he

125
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: is handing over play calling duties to new offensive coordinator

126
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: Davis Webb. My first thought is there hope for RJ. Harvey,

127
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: But like Floya, we don't really know what this means

128
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: because we have no idea what first time oh see

129
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: Davis Webb is gonna be like as a play caller.

130
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: So I mean, what any immediate takeaways when you hear

131
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: or read this.

132
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: My immediate takeaway besides what you just said of like,

133
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: we don't really know what this And I spoke about

134
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 3: this not with Davis Webb, but just like, to me,

135
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: the harder, hardest situations to figure out in this is

136
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: first time play callers because we especially when like there's

137
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 3: no college or anything like that to kind of fall

138
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: back on. My first thinking though was like I don't

139
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: really expect this to look all that much different because

140
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: Davis Webb has been a part of Sean Payton's staff

141
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. He quickly gained a lot

142
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: of notaride this coaching cycle and was getting head coaching

143
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: interviews even though he wasn't even the OC last year.

144
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: Then they fired Lombardi and gave him play calling duties

145
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: to keep him in Denver. To me, I think it

146
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: just shows how much confidence Sean Payton has in him.

147
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: I still expect a heavy Sean Payton influence, which means

148
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: a lot of screen passes, a lot of slant stuff

149
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: like that, So I don't expect it to look all

150
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: that different. But maybe Davis Webb puts his own little

151
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: twist on it. Maybe we get a little bit more

152
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: aggressive throwing downfield or whatever.

153
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: I think.

154
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: When it comes to R. J. Harvey, though, he more

155
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: than anything more than play calling, I think needs to

156
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: survive the draft and free agency because if they bring

157
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: in someone like last year where they brought in JK. Dobbins,

158
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: that could be a wet blanket. Like I think Harvey's

159
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: clearly going to have a role Marcus, Like I don't

160
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: expect him to completely get you surfed or something like that.

161
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: But it's just a matter of how much percent of

162
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: the volume can we expect for him, And if he's

163
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: the clear one, obviously you feel a lot better than

164
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: if they use a high pick or a good amount

165
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: of money on.

166
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: A running back.

167
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: So with Harvey, that the personnel around him, to me,

168
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: matters a whole lot more than this change at play caller.

169
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I do think even if he survives free

170
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: agency and the draft and they don't really bring in

171
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: another real candidate to challenge him, I think what we

172
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: saw from him late in the season and in the

173
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: playoffs especially, is that I don't know that he's built

174
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: to be a workhorse. You know, we saw Julia McLoughlin

175
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: get carries, and look, nobody was effective running the ball

176
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: against the Patriots.

177
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: The Broncos could not run the ball.

178
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: I think some of it was because, look, the Patriots

179
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: didn't respect Jared Stidham for a good reason. But you know,

180
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Harvey was not the guy when they were trying to

181
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: just run him between the tackles. He could not get

182
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: anything going, couldn't gain any traction. We saw them using

183
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: Jalil McLoughlin a few times. I mean, that didn't really

184
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: worked out. I think in a perfect world, it would

185
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: have been JK. Dobbins maybe taking a few more of

186
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: those carries. And so I wonder whether or not the

187
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: physical limitations, you know, unless he gets bigger and stronger,

188
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: spends a lot of time in the weight room this

189
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: offseason to become a stronger between the tackles runner, if

190
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: that sort of limits what they can do with him

191
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: play calling wise. But I you know, part of me

192
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: wants to see if Davis Webb wants to, you know,

193
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: kick the tires on that see what they got, and

194
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: a guy who can be explosive can be a big

195
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: play guy. I mean, I was definitely hoping, you know,

196
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: LQ was going to be here because yeah, I wanted

197
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: to hear his thoughts, knowing how much he loves R. J.

198
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: Harvey.

199
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: But I'm just, you know, I don't know, I'd like

200
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: to see more. I'd like to see, you know, maybe

201
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: we get Marvin Mims more involved, or you know, Troy

202
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: Franklin or Pat Bryant somebody. But I guess, but I

203
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think being under Sean Payton's wing

204
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: for so long means that he's going to kind of

205
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: be the same as it ever was.

206
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: I also like RJE hard he might have to survive

207
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: this summer too, right, because he survived the draft of

208
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: free agency last year. And then it was like a

209
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: random day in June where JK. Dobbins signed, and I

210
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: remember vividly like I was at I was playing basketball

211
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: and I looked at my phone and I was like,

212
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: this isn't great for RJ. Harvey. And then all of

213
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: the takes from Fantasy Twitter were like, if JK. Dobbins

214
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: was good, he would have signed way back. And then

215
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: look how it played out, so like maybe, uh, maybe

216
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 3: we got to wait all the way until July or something.

217
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: Like that for RJ. Yeah.

218
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: I think that's that's an interesting point too. As we

219
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: hit free agency. I think when you talk about running backs,

220
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that the hole he didn't sign right

221
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: away thing and necessarily is impactful anymore. I think once

222
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: upon a time, yeah, if you didn't sign in the

223
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: first few days, chances are people didn't really have a

224
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: plan for you. But I think with the way teams

225
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: sort of view the running back position now, I think

226
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: you can have a guy who signs later in the

227
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: offseason and still I'm in depending on the situation and

228
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: have a role. And I think that's what happened with JK.

229
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: Dobbins this past year over to Indianapolis speaking of the

230
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: Combine that is where that's going to be held. But

231
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: this is not Combine news. Yesterday, when I was putting

232
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: this run down together, saw his story that said Chris

233
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Ballard can still see a future with Anthony Richardson on

234
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: the Colts, and then plot twist this morning before we

235
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: started doing the show, Anthony Richardson has requested a trade

236
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: and appears that the Colts are going to honor that

237
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: request and let him move on.

238
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: Oh.

239
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: Also something that I saw just a few minutes ago

240
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: we were talking a report that Richardson has regained full

241
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: vision in.

242
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: His right eye.

243
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: So after that sort of freak fluke injury last year

244
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: with the resistance band where he was hitting the face,

245
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: it appears that he has made a full recovery. So

246
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: that is certainly positive news. But I mean, at this point,

247
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, he's been three years in the NFL, has

248
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: played has even played a full season was worth of games,

249
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: I don't believe, So.

250
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: What is the ceiling for him now?

251
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: He might thought like he's sort of Trey Lance all

252
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: over again. Right, but Trey Lance's even played more game. Well,

253
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't say that. I don't know, Yeah, but

254
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: it feels like they're sort of on a similar, similar

255
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: track right now.

256
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: I don't disagree, but you know, I'm going to champion

257
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 3: for my boy.

258
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: Here.

259
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: I am a Anthony Richardson's stand because twofold one, when

260
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 3: he was drafted, the knock on him was he did

261
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 3: not have a lot of experience in college, right, he

262
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: just had that one year where he was the starter.

263
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: I think he threw less than four hundred passes in college.

264
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: I could actually pull that up and tell you exactly

265
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: how many he threw, but it's not that far off

266
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: from where he's at at the NFL. Three years in so,

267
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: in college he threw three hundred and ninety three pass attempts.

268
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: In the NFL, he has thrown three hundred and fifty. Right, Like,

269
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: this is just a guy who needs more seasoning. It

270
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: always has the thing for me, though, is he's still

271
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: just twenty three years old. He will be twenty four

272
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: next year. That's younger than Michael Pennock Junior and Bo

273
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 3: Nicks and these guys. Right, Like, he's still I know

274
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: he was drafted a year before those guys. He's still younger.

275
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: And I go back to some of the things we've

276
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: seen him do on the football field, right like some

277
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: of his running plays where it's just like, oh my god,

278
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: he's like Cam Newton but faster, or that I still

279
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: I forget. I think it was against the Titans, but

280
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: that one throw he made where he had a defender

281
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: in his face and he just like airmails it like

282
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: sixty yards. One of the best throws I've ever seen,

283
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 3: and all the physical tools are there. I understand that

284
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: he's very raw when it comes to breaking down defenses

285
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. You know who else was Malik

286
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: Willis the number one rated quarterback, number one rated free

287
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: agent by Greg Rosenthal right now. So I think Anthony Richardson, yes,

288
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 3: he needs he needs to go to a place where

289
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: he has a coach that could kind of coach him up.

290
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I don't I want him to get reps,

291
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 3: but I don't know. Maybe they view a Malik Willis path.

292
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: But Malik Willis and Kyler Murray, I will admit, you

293
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: could make an argument that they have higher upside or

294
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: maybe a combination of floor and upside after that, there

295
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: is not a quarterback available in my opinion, that sniffs

296
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: the upside of an Anthony Richardson. Maybe they're safer options,

297
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: There definitely are. But if you're like, like, I don't

298
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: wish this on him. I hope he goes somewhere better.

299
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: But if you're like the Jets.

300
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: Right, that's the one name that he's popping up, right,

301
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: why not?

302
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: Right? Like you're already hoping to have a high pick

303
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: next year, Anthony Richardson could either be terrible and help

304
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: you get that number one pick, or he can hit

305
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: and you suddenly don't have to draft a quarterback because

306
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: you have a very young one now with a clear

307
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: cut future. So if you're them, or the Dolphins or

308
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: any of these QB and needy teams that miss out

309
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: on Willis, I think Anthony Richardson is a fantastic pivot.

310
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's to me, that's sort of the issue

311
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: is where can he go knowing he needs reps, knowing

312
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: he's got to get on the field and play. Where

313
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: can he go where he can get those opportunities? And yeah,

314
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: the options are sort of bleak. It's the Jets, maybe

315
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: it's the Dolphins. If they feel they feel, you know,

316
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: adventurous like that. They're obviously moving on from Tua, and

317
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't think they're any there. They're nowhere close to

318
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: really being competitive like that. Seven wins last year was

319
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: sort of a mirage. I said last said last year,

320
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: I think they could be the worst team in the NFL.

321
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: So maybe you try with Anthony Richardson and see what happens.

322
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: You know, the Cardinals maybe are another option, depending on

323
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: what they want to do at quarterback, unless they decide

324
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna you hand it over to Jacoby Brissette for

325
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: a full year.

326
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: But I don't really see that happening.

327
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: But like all the other places where he could go

328
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: and get reps or other bad teams, I should say

329
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: they don't have options, right, I mean the Browns, Uh, well,

330
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Browns in a little bit, But

331
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: the Browns have.

332
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: A Richardson Shadoor camp battle would break the Internet at

333
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: least fantasy Twitter, but.

334
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: Like not in a good way like this from a

335
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: from a comedy standpoint, I think it probably would.

336
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: But the Browns kind of out there own. They're kind

337
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: of overloaded.

338
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: With bodies at least, I don't know if they have

339
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: a guy.

340
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: The Titans have their guy for the time being.

341
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: The Raiders are they gonna draft Fernando Mendoza, so he's

342
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: not really gonna get a shot there. The Saints, you know,

343
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: they've got their guy that they want to try to

344
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: develop right now. And Tyler Shuck. So really, if you

345
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: have the Jets, the Dolphins and maybe the Cardinals kind

346
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: of the only real landing spots if he wants to

347
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: get on the field.

348
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: I keep operating as if Milik Willis is already a Cardinal.

349
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: I just feel like that's he's gonna end up. That's happening.

350
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: The Browns know that. I thought Richardson because look, I

351
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 3: know they have a lot of bodies, but no one

352
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 3: stands out there. Here's a wacky scenario I just thought

353
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 3: of right now as we're discussing this, Uh, why don't

354
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 3: we get headache for headache pick that did at first

355
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 3: round pick that didn't work out. For first round pick

356
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: that didn't work out, how about Anthony Richardson for JJ McCarthy. Right,

357
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 3: psychn you get your chance with JJ. Now we see

358
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: if you could if KAOC could get the most set

359
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: of Anthony Richardson, and we just go from there.

360
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: If I'm a Viking fan, I am burning everything down.

361
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: If that's what happens, I'd rather Anthony Richardson personally, He's

362
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: got he's got the skill set.

363
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: At least he does have the skill set. Yeah.

364
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: Man, we're gonna talk about the Vikings too, since it

365
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: just sort of worked out there was there were there

366
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: were AFC North and NFC North quarterback stories that popped

367
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: up on my radar in the last couple of days.

368
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, so perfect that we're talking this

369
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: division today, So.

370
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can. We can revisit this a little bit

371
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: later on in the show.

372
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: So that's a good spot for us to stop for

373
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: a minute, take a breath, come back. We'll dive into

374
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: the AFC North as we talked some free agency heading

375
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: up to the new league year coming about a week

376
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: and a half. That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast,

377
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: all right, talking some free agency and looking at the

378
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: AFC North in reverse order of finish at the Browns, Bengals, Ravens, Steelers.

379
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: One thing I noticed so far going through these is

380
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: kind of looking at team needs. A lot of teams

381
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: need wide receivers, which is wild considering the amounts of

382
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: guys who've come out of that position, who've been successful

383
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: in the amount of you know, players just floating around

384
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: the league at that position, but still seems to be

385
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: a need across the NFL.

386
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: The Browns could.

387
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: Use a wide receiver they've I think they could use

388
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Yeah, I was sort of looking at places

389
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: and nobody listed quarterback.

390
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: I think the Browns need a quarterback.

391
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: And to wit a story recently on NFL dot Com,

392
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: Brown's general manager Andrew Berry leaves the door open for

393
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson to compete for a starting job. And I'm

394
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna ask you, Michael lef Floria, why don't I believe

395
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: that is true?

396
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: Because you have eyes and you pay close attention to

397
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: the NFL, and you've watched Deshaun Watson ever since he's

398
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: returned not be But I will say this though, right well,

399
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: the reason why they're not ruling him out is because

400
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: his base salary this year is forty six million dollars

401
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: and his cap hit is almost eighty one million dollars. Like, yeah,

402
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 3: they have incentive to not completely write him off.

403
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 4: But he was kind of vocal in a way that

404
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 4: he's allowed to be vocal, like he wasn't saying like, oh,

405
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: it's all Stefanski's fault, but he was throwing a lot

406
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: of breadcrumbs and point kind of fingers and saying like

407
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 4: no one would succeed in this offense and stuff like that,

408
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: like look at and I think at one point too

409
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: even reference Baker Mayfield and so Maybee.

410
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: The Browns are like, well with Todd Monkin here, he

411
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: could get the most out of Deshaun Watson, but Todd

412
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 3: Monkin when he got there, was most excited about Shador Sanders.

413
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 3: So I don't envision a world where we see Deshaun

414
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: Watson playing, unless like maybe Sanders gets hurt or something

415
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: like that. But week one, everyone's healthy. I don't think

416
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: Watson is the starting quarter. And if he is, and

417
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 3: he looks how he has looked, I'm sorry. Browns fans

418
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 3: are gonna be in the exact same position a year

419
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: from them.

420
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson has played a total of nineteen games since

421
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.

422
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: That's it, oof, Yeah, I mean just yep.

423
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: He's been obviously hurt a lot. When he has played,

424
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: he has not looked good. I mean that twenty twenty

425
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: season when he threw for forty eight hundred yards. That

426
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: is such a distant memory now.

427
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: He was so just fun to watch, not forget like good.

428
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: I never saw that, like we never like he never

429
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: moved like he did pre suspension ever again and now

430
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 3: he's coming off of an achilles.

431
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just you know, I think you're right.

432
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: I think it's the We got a lot invested in

433
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: him financially, so we can't just say there's no chance

434
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: of him playing. But I feel like there's really no

435
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: chance of him playing because what do you have to

436
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: gain by starting him if you're the Browns.

437
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 2: I mean, right, because he's at the age he will

438
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: be thirty this year.

439
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: He's thirty right now, I should say, because he didn't

440
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: play all him last year. Last time he played his

441
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: age twenty nine season. He's thirty years old, so he's

442
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: not a developmental guy. After a year off, You've got

443
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: to wait for him to sort of get back into

444
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: game speed, and who knows how long that's going to take.

445
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: You're not really expected to compete, so there's just there's

446
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: really no upside to playing Deshaun Watson unless you absolutely

447
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: have to. So I guess you're just sort of paying

448
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: service to this if anything, And.

449
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 3: Remember how bad Rogers and Cousins were first year back

450
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: from an Achilles.

451
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know, yeah, no, I just I don't.

452
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: I don't. I just saw it. I was just like, yeah,

453
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: this feels like.

454
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: A GM sort of paying lip service to a thing

455
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: that he has to, but with no real.

456
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: Uh you know, no real meaning behind it.

457
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: Also, I think it's interesting, you know, him Bury leaving

458
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: bread crumbs because the person he should be leaving bread

459
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: crumbs for is the owner who went out and signed

460
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson to this hideous contract that now has them

461
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: buried under an avalanche right now in terms of the

462
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: salary cap, and the Browns are six and a half

463
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: million dollars over the cap at the moment.

464
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: A more year they could get out of it.

465
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

466
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: So, I mean but it's sort of again, it sort

467
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: of hampers any sort of development. I mean, does that

468
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: mean they're out in the free agent market? Is it

469
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: just like we're trying to build through the draft for

470
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: the time being.

471
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: Is that it?

472
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 3: I think they'll maneuver some cap around, and I just

473
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 3: I don't think we're going to get like a huge

474
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 3: splash out of them. It's really hard. Especially Look, I know,

475
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: top quarterbacks get paid, and you hear stuff like, oh,

476
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 3: it's hard to build. No, when you have a top

477
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 3: quarterback and they're worth the money you pay them, it

478
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 3: is the best thing you could have in the NFL.

479
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 3: But when you're paying someone Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Patrick

480
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: Mahomes type money and they're one of the worst, maybe

481
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: the worst starter in the NFL, and then you're paying

482
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: Calves owner. I didn't realize he was the Cavs owner

483
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 3: until the other day, Miles Garrett an all time record contract, Like, yeah,

484
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: you got so much cap tied up in a couple

485
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 3: of spots that it makes it really hard to build

486
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 3: out the rest. So I do think we'll see We'll

487
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 3: see some like minor moves from the Browns, and then

488
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 3: I think the draft is largely where we're going to

489
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: see them get their new players for this season. But

490
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: I have a feeling right like for Todd Monkin or

491
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: whatever they probably were, like, look, twenty twenty six is

492
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: gonna be what it is. We have to get out

493
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: from under this Watson contract and then we can kind

494
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 3: of think about rebuilding for the future. So it's probably

495
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 3: more about getting in guys that Monkin thinks he can

496
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 3: develop long term, right.

497
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 2: I mean, the.

498
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 3: Browns have been a like the Jim Schwartz thing, Like

499
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 3: it's just they cannot get out of their own way.

500
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean, bad teams stay bad for a reason, and

501
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: the Browns have plenty of reasons why they have stayed

502
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: bad for a long time. But also we should stop

503
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: giving them high draft picks because they keep squandering them.

504
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 2: So that's just me.

505
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: Bengals mostly need things on the defensive side of the football.

506
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: You know, they are set offensively.

507
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: You know, they've got their quarterback, they've got their wide receivers,

508
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: they've got a good running back and Chase Brown. I mean,

509
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: I guess they can go look for a tight end

510
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: if they wanted to. I mean, it feels like that's

511
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: at least conservast offensive skill positions is maybe the only thing.

512
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: But but again, I don't know, Floria, what tight end

513
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: can break through that Chase Higgins duo to get significant

514
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: targets at any point.

515
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 3: The crazy thing, too, is they paid Mike Kiseki last

516
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: season like he cap hit wise is in their top ten,

517
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 3: Like it it doesn't make sense to even when they

518
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: did it right, I was like, you have Tea and

519
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 3: Chase and you're paying Burrow. You don't need to invest

520
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: in a time, especially Mike Kiseki, you know. But yeah,

521
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 3: I think if you're it's O line and defense. Like

522
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 3: if you spend on skill positions or anything like that,

523
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: it's like, what are you doing here?

524
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: What it is? Yeah?

525
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: You you have maybe the best one to two punch

526
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 3: in the NFL. If not the best, it's what, well,

527
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: the Cowboys will probably have surpassed them, but one of

528
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: the best, you know. So like you're loaded on offense

529
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 3: just and you got to replace, Like your defense was

530
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: awful and you had Trey hendrickson pat Like, now you

531
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 3: got to replace your best player on defense as well.

532
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that that's got to be the

533
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 3: focal point defense in no line.

534
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think you talk about duos wide

535
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: receiver duos, you know, in no particular order. The Bengals,

536
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, the Rams. I'm saying this because one of

537
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: us isn't here today.

538
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: The Eagles, I would still put them up there.

539
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bills.

540
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of aj Brown chatter this week.

541
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: He's not leaving Philly, right, They're not they're not gonna

542
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna trade him.

543
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 2: They're gonna let him go. He's he's staying with the Eagles.

544
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: I think in an ideal world he would be gone

545
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: because he wants out, and I think they're kind of

546
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 3: getting a little tired of his Shenanigans. But uh, the

547
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 3: dead cap would be seventy two million if they traded

548
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: him this year. They got an out after this season,

549
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: so I think we get one more year of aging.

550
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just you know, I feel like that's a

551
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: thing that it's good to talk about it. It's content

552
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: filler here in late February, but I just don't think

553
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: it has any real merit to it. The Ravens could

554
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: use some help at wide receiver. I feel like the

555
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: Ravens probably should go big. They got they have decent

556
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: cap space twenty two and a half million that they

557
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: can spend. At some point, they really have to commit

558
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: to helping Lamar Jackson with some of his weapons there, right,

559
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: I mean again, say, Flowers, nice piece, not necessarily a

560
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: game changer whether or not they get him.

561
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 2: Like it feels like, hey man, maybe we go hard

562
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: after a.

563
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: Mike Evans or somebody like that would be kind of

564
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: a cool piece to add to that Ravens offense. I mean,

565
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that at some point they've got

566
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: to really just try to push their chips in on

567
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: a wide out.

568
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. Like I know, they paid Rashad Bateman,

569
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: they still have say Flowers on his rookie deal. They

570
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 3: tried it with like DH and stuff like that. But

571
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: my concern is they just brought I know, Monkin is gone.

572
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 3: The offense is going to look different, so they're going

573
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: to address that side of the ball as well, But

574
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: with the big overhaul coming on the defensive side of

575
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: the ball, that's my fear as not as like, Look,

576
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: if I'm a Ravens fan, I'm like, I trust Lamar

577
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: in that offense. I want the defense to get better.

578
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 3: But as a fantasy player, that's my fear is that

579
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 3: the bulk of their money gets invested in the defensive

580
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 3: side of things.

581
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: Yes, again, it's probably a smart way to build the roster,

582
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: but that's not what we're here for, you know. But

583
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: especially if you've got folks in the building, you know,

584
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: you've got the offensive coordinators saying that there's another level

585
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson can rise to. Well, maybe but some

586
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: of that means the cast around him has to kind

587
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: of help him rise to that level.

588
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: He can be a willing passer, but.

589
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: At some point, like the guys had to catch the

590
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: ball and do something with it afterwards. So you know again, yeah,

591
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna They're probably gonna go and splurge on any

592
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: Mike Evans.

593
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: It would be nice, but I.

594
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: Don't know why Keenan Allen's thank you. I think he retires,

595
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: but I'm too the retirement home path, like they'll sign

596
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: another older, big name wide receiver and call it a day.

597
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, Keenan Allen in Baltimore with me, it just

598
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: look weird. I'm trying to envision it in my head

599
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: and it just looks weird seeing him in that uniform.

600
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen bears you. We're gonna look back and be like, what.

601
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, really will Yeah exactly.

602
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: They've got the Steelers who have again they got a

603
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: lot of money to spend forty four point seven million dollars.

604
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: They are another team that absolutely needs some wide receiver help.

605
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: Even if GMFB is Isaac Rochelle has DK metcalf is

606
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: a top five wide out in the NFL, I feel

607
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: like that's probably not enough. I think they also need

608
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: quarterback help. Is Aaron Rodgers coming back? Are we gonna

609
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: have another year of this again?

610
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: My thinking is yes, they've already said right like we're

611
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 3: not gonna allow him to do it like last year

612
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 3: because it was in like June that he signed, like

613
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: they need to know sooner than later. And I do

614
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: believe that part of it, right Like, I think they're

615
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 3: telling Rogers, we will have you back if you want

616
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: to be back, but if you don't, we need to

617
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: know so that we can move forward with free agency

618
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 3: in the draft knowing what we need. I also think

619
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 3: it could be like last year in the sense of

620
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 3: he didn't sign till June, but every move that happened

621
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: to indicate like they didn't sign anyone. They didn't draft

622
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: a quarterback to Will Howard in like the sixth round.

623
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 3: I think it was their seventh round. So yeah, it

624
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: was like, all right, we could read the tea leaves

625
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: here that Aaron Rodgers is gonna be the guy. But

626
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 3: the way they've just been talking about it, like McCarthy

627
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: being open to having him back, the Steelers publicly putting

628
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 3: out that like we would welcome Rogers back if he

629
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: wanted to. And the way that Rogers spoke this year

630
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 3: at the end of the year, like he's the most

631
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 3: funny's had in a while, and he felt like one

632
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 3: of the guys again and rightfully so because the Steelers

633
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: roster or like old so they get along with Aaron

634
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: Rodgers quite well. But yeah, I do think though, if

635
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: you're Pittsburgh, you he cannot be your only plan at quarterback, right.

636
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 3: I know you have Will Howard there, but whether it's

637
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: using like a second or third round pick on a

638
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 3: developmental guy or maybe you bring in a Kyler. I

639
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: think Kyler would play over Rogers, but you know, like

640
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 3: an Anthony Richardson something like that.

641
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna say, Richardson seems like a fit there potentially, right.

642
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, to like sit behind him, Like I think you

643
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: have to do something else. But I kind of think

644
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: we have it if we have seen Rogers. To me

645
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: kind of feels like if we had seen the last

646
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 3: of him, he would have wanted us to know that

647
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: was the last of him, you know.

648
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I also think I really do think if his

649
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: last throw wasn't a pick six where on top of

650
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: that he got trucked by the ball carrier. If it

651
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: was nearly any other way that the season ended, maybe

652
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: he feels better about walking away. But there's no way

653
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers ego will let that.

654
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: Be the last thing we remember of him in the NFL.

655
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: Like if he if he beats the Ravens and then

656
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: like that first play against Houston, he gets hurt and

657
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: he's done for like maybe that's the last we see

658
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 3: him because he walked off the field against Baltimore, you know,

659
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: winning a playoff game. Kind of, although speaking of that,

660
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: did you see that The league this week came out

661
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: and said Isaiah Likely's catch that would have been the

662
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: game winning catch in their first matchup should have been

663
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 3: a touchdown And Lamar was like, wait, so we won

664
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: that game. They would have won the division and made

665
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 3: the playoffs had that call been called, right, like huge miscall.

666
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: But if you're the Steelers, don't you don't care?

667
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 2: But no, is it better or worse when leagues do that?

668
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: Worse?

669
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 1: I think it's worse, right, I would almost rather you

670
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: just shut up about it, like don't tell me, don't

671
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: don't tell me, because because you're not gonna award me anything.

672
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: They're just gonna you know, pat me on the back

673
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, sorry, Champ screwed me. You know, Like,

674
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't like the NBA does that last two minutes

675
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: report where they talk about all the calls and you

676
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: know what they got right, what they got wrong, whatever,

677
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: But because you're not gonna app actually change anything, like

678
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: just just keep it to yourself. I just it doesn't

679
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 1: make sense to me.

680
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: When the Knicks played the Sixers in the playoffs a

681
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, there was a two minute report

682
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: that said they got something wrong that would have greatly

683
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 3: switched one game, maybe in the favor of the Sixers,

684
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: And then like two days later it happened against the Knicks,

685
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 3: and the fan bases were like, we both lost the

686
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 3: game to it. Who cares, right, Like that doesn't make

687
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: me feel any better. If anything, it makes me feel

688
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: more angry if my team is on the wrong side

689
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 3: out of a call in the league is like, you

690
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: guys shouldn't have lost that game. Like no, like fight

691
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: me then, like give us a chance to win it.

692
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 3: You know.

693
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always laugh and every something something happens in

694
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: baseball and they're like the managers like we're playing this

695
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: game under.

696
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 2: Protest it doesn't change anything.

697
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: And I just imagine basically, it just means that the

698
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: manager's gonna sit on the dugout steps with like his

699
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: arms folded and his bottom lip poked out like a

700
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: you know, Toddler or something like.

701
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: Man, don't tell me if you screwed up.

702
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: Pull the Bobby Valentine and come back with fake glasses on.

703
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: With what the glasses and the fake mustache.

704
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: That's the manager has ever done. And I don't think

705
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 3: it'll be topped.

706
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: Oh man? Uh yeah, all right.

707
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: That's our look at the ANFC nor a break come

708
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: back to the NFC North. Some interesting things there, including

709
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: some quarterback issues somewhere along the way. That's next on

710
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football podcast.

711
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: Talk Free Agency.

712
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: Looking at the NFC North and in reverse order of finish,

713
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: we got the the Lions, Vikings, Packers, and Bears. I

714
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: when I look at this, it's like, well, the Lions

715
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: really did finish last technically in the NFC North. They

716
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: were nine to eight just because that the vision was

717
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: super competitive and all those teams were really bunched together.

718
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: But you know, the Vikings finishing over five hundred is

719
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 3: something I will never give credit, like they were so

720
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: bad and then they won their final four games, and

721
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 3: maybe they deserve credit for that, but like you were

722
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 3: eliminated already, Like in my head, the Vikings finished in

723
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 3: last place, all right, sure, but.

724
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: Either way, they're nine to eight the Lions.

725
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: I think most of their issues are on the defensive

726
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Again, they've got they've got any

727
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: quarterback in Jared Goff. Okay, yeah, he's not elite, but

728
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: he's definitely an above average quarterback. I think they're fine there. Obviously,

729
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: they've got a top notch running back. Engineer Gibbs sort

730
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: of curious what the future is going to be for

731
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: David Montgomery, you know, with his ball club, since he

732
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: was obviously deemphasized in the offense last year. They've got

733
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: quality wide receivers i' mon Ross, Saint Brown, Jamison Williams,

734
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: even Isaac you know, they are set offensively, they just

735
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: got to fix things on the defensive side of the ball.

736
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: So I don't you know, they're also nine million dollars

737
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: over the cap, so I feel like, you know, spending

738
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 1: on skill position guys in free agency probably a luxury that.

739
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 3: The one, because like you said, literally their whole line

740
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: all their starters on offense are coming back, their defense

741
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 3: is filled with free agents.

742
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: But the one.

743
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 3: Offensive question is David Montgomery, because there was some smoke

744
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: this week from the Combine that he could be kind

745
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 3: of wanting a new home because of how they they

746
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 3: leaned on Gibbs more and more down the stretch, and

747
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 3: also his cat. He's he's about nine million dollars he's

748
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 3: going to cost this year, so that could be a

749
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 3: way to free some money. I want it to happen

750
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 3: only because I think bjon and Gibbs are going to

751
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: be tied for their whole career. And if we could

752
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 3: get a whole summer where Tyler ELL's year and David

753
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: Montgomery are now removed from the equations and you get

754
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: to just argue Bijeon versus Gibbs, that to me is

755
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: going to be a ton of fun. So that's selfishly

756
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 3: what I'm rooting for.

757
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be okay with that.

758
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: I like it when we have years a week it's

759
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: sort of debate who is the number one pick, because yeah,

760
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: you know, it feels like there have been more often

761
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: than that over the last few years. There's just been

762
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: the consensus number one, and then you know, I don't know.

763
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: It's just not fun to argue because then you get

764
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: people who are kind of galaxy braining the whole thing

765
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 1: about who should be a number one pick, and that's

766
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: equally not fun when you're just making up reasons.

767
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 3: I'm seeing it now, right, one of us champion for Bijeon,

768
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 3: the other for Gibbs, and then there's LQB and like

769
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: it should be poker.

770
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 2: It's poker, right.

771
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: We already know where he is planted his flag, So

772
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: now it's just up to you and I to you know,

773
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: kind of figure out the rest of it.

774
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.

775
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 1: That gets us to the Vikings, which headline this week.

776
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: The Vikings will quote explore every opportunity at quarterback this

777
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: offseason with JJ McCarthy still in the mix. I read that,

778
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: and I think they are done done with JJ McCarthy.

779
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: If they are, If there are here a couple of

780
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: years into it and they're saying they're exploring every option

781
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: at quarterback, I don't know, Mike, that seems to me

782
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: that the Vikings are like, Okay, this is just not working.

783
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: This guy is not who we thought he who was.

784
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: He's not working out. We got to figure out a

785
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: contingency plan.

786
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 3: And if you read the tea leaves up until this point,

787
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 3: it very much indicates that they're done right. Like Koc

788
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 3: we have found out did not want to draft JJ McCarthy.

789
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 3: He did not want to start JJ McCarthy. It was

790
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 3: the then GM at the time who got fired. I

791
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: would argue because of JJ McCarthy. Would shout out to

792
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: the forty Niners, by the way, because anytime someone leaves

793
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 3: and they go and they get fired there the Niners

794
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: are like, welcome back, buddy, Come on, Yeah, it's such

795
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 3: a it must be such a good feeling, knowing like, well,

796
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 3: if I strike out on my own, Kyle's gonna welcome

797
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: me back with open eyes. But uh yeah. And then

798
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: on top of all of that, right Jay uh Jefferson's

799
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 3: comments of being like if I had a better quarterback,

800
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: I would put up better numbers stuff like that, Like

801
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 3: they they kind of threw him right under the bus

802
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 3: and then reversed it back, so like I would be

803
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 3: very surprised. I wouldn't be shocked if they go into

804
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 3: next year where they can't battle for JJ. But I

805
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: think if they could get a Kyler Murray, They're gonna

806
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 3: strike on that or someone where they know, Okay, it's

807
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 3: not even a battle, like we're starting this guy over JJ.

808
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna say it again, JJ for Richardson right,

809
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: Like JJ I just feels like more of a Daniel

810
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 3: Jones backup than Anthony Richardson does. And then Richardson gets

811
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 3: a and to the place that's helped develop a lot

812
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: of young quarterbacks.

813
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: Oh, he was gonna be upset that you're pushing his guy,

814
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard out of.

815
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: The equation here because he loves Riley Leonard. He loves

816
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard, don't.

817
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily understand it, but yeah, he's a big

818
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard guy.

819
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing it.

820
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 3: Look, Riley could beat out JJ potentially to be the

821
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: number two, I.

822
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: Mean could be sure.

823
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: The other part of this for the Vikings, they're forty

824
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: two million dollars over the cap. In fact, every team

825
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: in the NFC North right now is over the cap.

826
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 2: To varying degrees.

827
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 1: Forty two million makes it really hard to do things

828
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: in free agency. So I do think if they're really

829
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: looking to explore the quarterback situation, it is likely a trade,

830
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: but it also involves you know, restructuring, letting guys go.

831
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: So I think they would love to be in on

832
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: a guy like Kyler Murray seeing what they could do

833
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: with Kyler.

834
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 2: You know, it's just not very hard.

835
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 3: The only way I think it works is if he

836
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 3: Kyler does a Russ right where he's like, the Cardinals

837
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: are already paying me a bunch of money, I'll sign

838
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 3: for the minimum here.

839
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that that could possibly work. I would,

840
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: I think for sure. But otherwise, if he's just looking

841
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: to still get paid paid, then that probably doesn't work there.

842
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if you just saw the text that

843
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 3: just came in. No, the context, it's like he's watching

844
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 3: sucks On, missing Florial's excitement for Anthony Richardson, possibly on

845
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 3: the move.

846
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: Now I'm checking. I'm checking the streamyard. No, he's not.

847
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: He's not here unless he's, you know, masquerading as Kyrie.

848
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: That's wild. That is wild that he pops in.

849
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: So Lakwana actually is on the show today in his

850
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: own special way. The other thing the Vikings really need, though,

851
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: they do need a running back that feels like one

852
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: that you know, they could possibly address that without breaking

853
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: the bank necessarily.

854
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think they.

855
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they chase a traves etn I mean,

856
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: would you try to make it work with like Najee

857
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: Harris because the number that Nag's gonna sign for is

858
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: going to be less than what he got last year?

859
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: Do you pursue a JK. Dobbins h Kenneth Gainwell?

860
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: Maybe?

861
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: But I think I think there are ways to sort

862
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: of address that need and do it in a pretty

863
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: economical way.

864
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 3: Is for the Vikings, right?

865
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 2: Yeah?

866
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 3: For the Vikings, Yeah, because they they I think it's

867
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 3: a very good chance that they move on from Aaron

868
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 3: Jones this offense. He is so expensive. But you mentioned

869
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 3: Kenneth Gainwell. That was gonna be the name I threw

870
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 3: out there because I think Jordan Mason, And look, I'm

871
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 3: not going to say I'm the highest guy on him

872
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 3: here because we all.

873
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: Know that, we all know, we all know who that is, right.

874
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 3: But Jordan Mason is a very good runner. I don't

875
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 3: think he is a great dual threat back, but just

876
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 3: as a pure like first and second down short yard stuff,

877
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 3: I think Jordan Mason could get you covered there. And

878
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 3: then I think Kenneth Gainwell, who isn't necessarily the best runner,

879
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: is a fantastic weapon in the passing game, So you

880
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 3: kind of splice it together. With those two, I think

881
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 3: you could have a very productive backfield without having to

882
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 3: invest a whole lot of money. Like, look, it's not

883
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 3: my dream backfield, but in this situation, it works. Yeah.

884
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's probably fair because I don't

885
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: think they give up fully on Jordan Mason, but I

886
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: do think they've learned that he's not the guy that's

887
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: going to carry the offense. He could be good in spurts,

888
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: but he also kind of has a limited ceiling for them.

889
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: So I think finally a compliment to him is probably

890
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: the best thing that you can do. Honestly, wouldn't be

891
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: surprised if the Vikings even wait a while you talk

892
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: about them the Broncos signing JK.

893
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 2: Dobbins later in the offseason.

894
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: If I'm the Vikings, I wait, right, Maybe I look

895
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: and see who's available in free agency. I go through

896
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: the draft, I see who maybe we can get there,

897
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: and then if we don't get a guy we like

898
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: in the draft, we go back because they're probably going

899
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: to be some free agent running backs still hanging around

900
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: in May and June that you can add and have

901
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: them be that complimentary piece for your backfield. So I

902
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: think that's very much a possibility there. I think that's

903
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: kind of in for the Vikings. I mean, quarterback I

904
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: think is the biggest thing, oh one thing.

905
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 2: Like you know, maybe we'll wait till Kwan's.

906
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: Back because I know he texted us that he was

907
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: in a Best Ball draft where Justin Jefferson went with

908
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: the eighth pick in the second round, and that I

909
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: think is heavily heavily tied to the quarterback situation there,

910
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: And you know, I think that's that's a conversation that

911
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: I think we should definitely have, but we'll wait till

912
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: the Q is back from that one. The Packers, most

913
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: of their needs are on defense. Big need is basically

914
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: for Micah Parsons to get healthy. I think that goes

915
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: a long long way. They're four million dollars over the cap.

916
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: Do they need I hate to say this out loud,

917
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: do they need to add another wide receiver? I know

918
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs is probably on the move somewhere else. Christian

919
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: Watson was very good last year. Matthew Golden had a

920
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: big playoff game, But like, I don't know, Dantavian Wicks

921
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: doesn't really do much. You know, Bo Melton is a

922
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: part time wide receiver, part time cornerback. He's he's I

923
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: don't even call him Timu Travis Hunter because I don't

924
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 1: think that's that's even accurate enough.

925
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 3: He doesn't get enough love though for what he does.

926
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 2: Well.

927
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: It's funny because every time they used him as a

928
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver and he drops a pass, I just see

929
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: Packers fans grumbling about why would you put a corner

930
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: on the field in this situation?

931
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 3: Can't catch?

932
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: Basically, it's kind of what that is. So, I mean,

933
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: I know we have spent the last few years bemoaning

934
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: the fact that the Packers have too many wide receivers

935
00:45:58,960 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: and we can't figure it out.

936
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 2: But now it feels like, I don't know.

937
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, unless we believe in Matthew Golden to take

938
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: the leap next year, maybe they.

939
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 2: Need another wide receiver. It's a compliment Christian Watson.

940
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 3: I think they're going to be very hopeful that Matthew

941
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 3: Golden could take that next step. I also still really

942
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 3: like Jayden Reid. I know he's a little limited in

943
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 3: like how you can use him, but I still think

944
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 3: he can be an effective NFL wide receiver, and like

945
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 3: him and Watson and Golden on paper with Wicks mixed

946
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 3: in there, like that should be four good ones. I

947
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if they invest in another receiver, but

948
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 3: I would be shocked if it's a lofty investment, you know,

949
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 3: Like I don't think their biggest free agent signing or

950
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 3: their first or second round pick are probably going to

951
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 3: be a receiver. But because also they have two of

952
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 3: their starting O linemen are free agents this year, so

953
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 3: I think if anything on offense, that is your biggest priority,

954
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 3: trying to get your line right. They also need a

955
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 3: backup quarterback, right, I don't know if you feel comfortable

956
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 3: with just desney Ri or there. So the offensive side

957
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 3: of the things for the Packers, outside of the rebuilding

958
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: your line, because your left tackle and your right guard

959
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 3: potentially leaving is hard to replace. You can't just like

960
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 3: string that together. But the rest of it, I think

961
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 3: are more like minor moves. Like you know, they tweak

962
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 3: it a little bit here we bring in this body

963
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 3: for depth at receivers something like that, But for the

964
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 3: most part, I think they drafted Matthew gold In a

965
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 3: year in advance, being like, you're going to take Romeo

966
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,439
Speaker 3: Dobbs role in our offense when Romeo Dobbs eventually leaves

967
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 3: next year as a free agent.

968
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's not things like they've they're pretty.

969
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 1: Much set on Dobbs not coming back. I think they're

970
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: going to try and work with what they have is

971
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: sort of build from there. Look, they spent the first

972
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: round pick on Matthew Golden, so he's going to get

973
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: at least another couple of years to just figure things

974
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: out there.

975
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 3: It is so Packers that they finally used the first

976
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 3: round pick on a receiver and then it's one of

977
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 3: the worst production to the first round even years.

978
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you know, see, at least you tried

979
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: what it is. Look, I know people still aren't giving

980
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: up on Matthew Golden, and that makes sense. It's only

981
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: been one year. I will tell you that, at least

982
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, I'm out until I see something

983
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 1: from him on a consistent basis. So Christian Watson, though,

984
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm in Christia Watson, I'm very much in on. He's

985
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: probably the only Packers receiver I'm really in on this year.

986
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, Golden, I'm sort of out there, so it

987
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: takes us to the Bears. They are also over the

988
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 1: cap about nine and a half million.

989
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: I saw.

990
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: I was looking around people saying, one of the needs

991
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: is tight end. I'm going to assume that that's a

992
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,240
Speaker 1: blocking tight end. You need maybe more of an inlined,

993
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: inline guy who can contribute in the running game, because

994
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: I think I think Colston Lovelin is it. I think

995
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: what we saw from him in the back half of

996
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: the season forecasts him really taking off next year. So

997
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: I think in terms of a pass catching tight end,

998
00:48:58,120 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that's it. I think it's more of

999
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: a blocking tight end.

1000
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 3: Still got cole Comet too.

1001
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: They do have cole Comet, where I think it's just

1002
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: going to be a fly in the ointment. What I'm

1003
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: worried is that cole Comet is going to do to

1004
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: Colston Loveland what Jimmy Graham did to cole Comet a

1005
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: couple of years ago.

1006
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 2: I hope not where.

1007
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: Every week on either on the podcast or on Fantasy

1008
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: Live or in the Sleepers column, I was touting cole

1009
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: Comet because all of the metrics, the you know, the

1010
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: targets per route run, the snaps, all this stuff was

1011
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 1: saying Cole Comet is a worthwhile play, and then Jimmy

1012
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: Graham would catch a touchdown when they got in the

1013
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: red zone. It just got hard to kind of keep

1014
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,919
Speaker 1: banging on that drum for a while. And I don't

1015
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: want this to happen to Colston Loveland.

1016
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 2: So that's my that's my worry.

1017
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 3: The one thing they do look at at his bow

1018
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 3: track page right now, they do have an out this

1019
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 3: year if they want to take it, and he is

1020
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 3: I mean eleven million dollars almost twelve million dollars for

1021
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 3: cap hit for a tight end two. That feels like

1022
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 3: he could be a cap casualty.

1023
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I could definitely see that happening. Also, Durham's

1024
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 1: smythe for what it's worth, is a free agent, so

1025
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: they could sort of revamp the tight end room there

1026
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: in Chicago.

1027
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 2: Do they need another wide receiver? You know, Keenan Allen.

1028
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Keenan Allen's gone. Not Keenan Allen, who

1029
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 2: am I? But Luther Burden.

1030
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: DJ more could be gone. I don't know why I'm

1031
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: stuck in twenty twenty four talking about Keenan Allen I

1032
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier that's exactly where my brain went. At this point,

1033
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: DJ More could be gone. The Luther Burden hype train

1034
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: is several miles down the road already. Romo Dunes faded

1035
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: badly in the second half of the season. Do they

1036
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: need to add a piece at wide receiver or do

1037
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: we believe that they can sort of figure it out

1038
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: with the pieces they have.

1039
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna need to add a depth receiver,

1040
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 3: like like a wide receiver three or something like that,

1041
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 3: because I look, I loved him as a prospect. I

1042
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 3: am super bullish on Luther Burden. I think, just like

1043
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 3: Cole Comet, we saw the youth takeover last year as

1044
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 3: they gave Burden more. And I know he's one of

1045
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 3: those players Marcus that I think if you just look

1046
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 3: at the box score, you're doing the disservice. He had

1047
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,919
Speaker 3: a couple of big games where he popped here or there,

1048
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 3: but watch what he can do, and to me, he

1049
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 3: just seems like a weapon that Ben Johnson is going

1050
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 3: to design one hundred and twenty plays for it this year,

1051
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 3: you know, like like I just think him and commit

1052
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if the offense runs through those

1053
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,720
Speaker 3: two guys next year. There there's also rome with Dunesday.

1054
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 3: Though it's feeling more and more likely that DJ Moore

1055
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 3: is going to be gone because his cap hit isn't crazy,

1056
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 3: and on top of that, they have a lot of

1057
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,479
Speaker 3: younger pieces here that they are excited for and let's

1058
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 3: not forget right. Like I was the person that was like,

1059
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 3: this camp rumor doesn't matter, right, Like the whole they

1060
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 3: can't figure out how to get DJ Moore the ball thing,

1061
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 3: I was like, that's a camp thing, Ben, trust me,

1062
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson's going to know how to get DJ Moore

1063
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 3: the ball. And then there's a large chunk of the

1064
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 3: season Marcus where they didn't know how to get j

1065
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 3: he was playing on the backfield. They're throwing him screen

1066
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 3: passes like so the fact that his cap I mean,

1067
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 3: it's a little bit higher, but it's not huge anymore. So,

1068
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 3: Like I think there's a good look. Bills fans are

1069
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 3: already clamoring like DJ Mohr, go get him. Like I

1070
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 3: do think DJ Moore is going to be one of

1071
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 3: the bigger headline names that we see get traded. But

1072
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 3: I don't think that means they bring in another star

1073
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 3: wide receiver. I think there it means more that they

1074
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 3: have a lot of confidence in those two young pass

1075
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 3: catchers that we saw breakout in their rookie year.

1076
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's that's probably more accurate.

1077
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying to think of some guys that

1078
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: would be interesting sort of complimentary pieces is.

1079
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 2: There and you know ah, I mean Alex Pearce is

1080
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 2: probably going to be more than what they want or need.

1081
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 2: I think in terms of what he's gonna come, I

1082
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 2: think he's salary wise, He's don't get paid for sure.

1083
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that Rashid Shaheed leaves. I don't. I don't.

1084
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: If I'm Seattle, I don't let Rashid shi Heat out

1085
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: of the building because he you know, he's a big

1086
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: play guy. He also does a lot for you on

1087
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: special teams.

1088
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like.

1089
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: What is Christian Kirk's future going to be. You know,

1090
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get the big numbs. He's not gonna

1091
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: get a big contract that he got you know before.

1092
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 1: Like I you know, I still know what his future

1093
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: is at this point.

1094
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 3: You talk about the Ravens eating a wide receiver, deebo

1095
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 3: is one that just screams Ravens to me.

1096
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Deebo could be sort of like the new and

1097
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: Kwon Bolden, you know, you know, yeah, Christian Kirk is

1098
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: kind of a mystery to me because, you know, he

1099
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: had a couple of really good He had that one

1100
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 1: really good year in Jacksonville when we all laughed like

1101
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: why are the Jacks spending that much money on him?

1102
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: And then he went and balled out. We're like, all right,

1103
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,919
Speaker 1: well I'll shut up now. But he hasn't come close

1104
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: to anything like that since. And last year there were

1105
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: times I literally had to look on the roster and

1106
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, Christian Kirk is still there in Houston.

1107
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 3: Then he killed the Steelers in the playoffs. So it's like,

1108
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 3: it's weird because I still think he's he's got some

1109
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 3: game left. I look, I know we're way past the Ravens,

1110
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 3: but Mark's Brown also feels like another name. They could

1111
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 3: just Hollywood Miami boys with Lamar obviously already played together, Like, yeah,

1112
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 3: I could see him going back there as well.

1113
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 2: That'd be interesting.

1114
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's another one who just it never quite handed

1115
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: out the way we hoped.

1116
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 2: It would with his career.

1117
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: But maybe maybe you reunite him back in Greg whorre

1118
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: he started in Baltimore. I haven't played with with the

1119
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: Great Dorch Sweepstakes.

1120
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 3: Kwan.

1121
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna He's gonna hype him up wherever he goes.

1122
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: I mean maybe that's not a terrible thing for the Bears.

1123
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, or does he does he sort of

1124
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: crowd out Burden what they want to do with Burden.

1125
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 3: I could see Greg George going there because he could

1126
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: play in line, he could play out wide. He's not

1127
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 3: someone that obviously needs a ton of touches. He's more

1128
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 3: just like here or there. But when he gets the ball,

1129
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 3: he tends to do a lot with it. I know

1130
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 3: the Kwan wants him to go somewhere where he could

1131
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 3: get a much bigger role, but I he might be typecasting.

1132
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think at this point he is who he is.

1133
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: What about Juwan Jennings in Chicago? I I like.

1134
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 3: The only reason I don't like it is because I

1135
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 3: think it would ding everyone else's fantasy value there. But

1136
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 3: I think from a real life standpoint he fits very

1137
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 3: well there. He can move roll around the field. He's

1138
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 3: not someone you have to like throw the ball to

1139
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 3: ten times a game, but.

1140
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: Every now and then you do throw him the ball

1141
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 1: ten times a game because it sort of works out. Yeah,

1142
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: all right, interesting, there we go. That's the North divisions,

1143
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:11,320
