As 5 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: we continue our exit interviews, joined as always by Michael 6 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: f Florio and our producer Steve Manny and uh fellows. Actually, 7 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to start today, um with this this fan 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: controlled football league. Um, I don't know if you guys 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: have have you had either of you seen or heard 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: anything about this fan controlled football league? Yeah? I mean 11 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: I think I think that's how we all heard about it. 12 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: The the news hit a couple of weeks ago that 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel was signing with this league. The basics of 14 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: it are, uh. I mean, as the name suggests, fans 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: can kind of control role. Um, you can call plays, 16 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: I guess anything. I don't know how much. I don't 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: know how much I know about it. I don't know 18 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: how much either of you guys know about it. Like 19 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: how much control do fans get over this thing? Anybody know? Like? 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: Do you get to control personnel that's on the field? 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: I mean what, I don't even know how much how 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: much input the fans get here, so I because I 23 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: don't either, And I just went to their website and 24 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: and their website says you control the plays. So I'm 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: guessing it would be cool if you could control personnel 26 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: because I would be throwing out some weird alignments and 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: seeing how it works. Um, but yeah, I'm curious too, 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: So is it like is it like in Madden where 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: they give you, like, you know, like three or four 30 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: plays and you pick one or I don't know, but 31 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: it sounds pretty cool to get to kind of be 32 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: involved and pick the place. I'm interested in how high 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: the bar will be to be able to call plays, 34 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: Like do you have to show that you know football 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: a little bit and call smart plays? Or can you 36 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: do what I do when you play Adden and just 37 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: bliss all eleven players and just see what happens and 38 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: watch chaos and sue or just throw a Hail Mary 39 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: every play. That's what I would love to see, just 40 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 1: some wacky football. It makes no sense. I just think 41 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting because, you know, like football, Twitter 42 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: basically has decided that, you know, punting is not necessary anymore, 43 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: so like there would be like I don't I feel 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: like the fan controlled Football league won't have punters because 45 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: no one's going to use them unless it's like fourth 46 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: and twenty three or something like that. Um, you know, 47 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: running backs might get the ball. Running backs might get like, 48 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, ten touches a game, and like eight of 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: them will be targets. I'm just sort of curious to see. 50 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: Here's the other part though, because I mean we are 51 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: a fantasy football podcast. Would either of you play fantasy 52 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: f CF like, oh this is tricky, right, this is 53 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: That's that's why I thought about this, because like, if 54 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: if you're controlling it, um, I mean, if you have 55 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: like a certain player, like you would just wouldn't you 56 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: just vote to like, hey, throw the ball to you 57 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: know this guy all the time, right because he's on 58 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: my team. Yeah, my my fantasy players would be averaging 59 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: like thirty touches a game if I had any any 60 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: saying the matter, because that, to me, that's the most 61 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: frustrating part of playing fantasy is like watching it and 62 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: being like why are you taking off? Like you're better 63 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: running back or anything. So I think, yeah, I think 64 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: the big fantasy players in those contests would have a 65 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: ton of touches It's pretty cool though. Marcus like Marshawn Lynch, 66 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler are owners of teams in this league. So 67 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: if As was playing, I would give him every single 68 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: touch every single time. Right, That's the thing, you know 69 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, you know, running backs would matter 70 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: because the guys that you draft, like you would just 71 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: want to load them up with touches, right, Like you know, 72 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: if you have Nick Chubb in in a league like this, 73 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: Chub's gonna touch the ball like fifty times because I 74 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: would have gotch opportunities. How you possibly get so uh yeah, 75 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: it was just a weird thought I had. Um, I'm 76 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: very curious to see how this league works. I believe 77 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: they're trying to get off the ground and um, we'll 78 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: see what happens. I mean, obviously there are a lot 79 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: of uh springs slash alternative football leagues that are out 80 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: there now, and so curious to see how long this lasts. 81 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: But I played a a F fantasy if you if 82 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: you played as I didn't play XFL last year. I 83 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: was like, let me because a a F was kind 84 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: of rough that the site and because it wasn't on 85 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: like you know, normal platform, so it was kind of 86 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: like a custom made site and it was it got 87 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: the job done, but uh, guessing usage and stuff each week, 88 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: it was very, very tricky. So I the XFL, I 89 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: kind of went in like, I'll take a wait and 90 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: see approach. But third year in a row, markets, We're 91 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: gonna get to play some sort of fantasy football during 92 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: the off season, So I'll take it. I I laughed. 93 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: You know, I mean it was amusing watching as people 94 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,239 Speaker 1: were playing a fantasy league and seeing people create content. 95 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know, God bless Evans Silva man. 96 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, his his his atch ups column, 97 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, for years has always been maybe one of 98 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: the marquee pieces of fantasy content out there on the internet. 99 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: And you know he merely dove in and started doing 100 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: like matchups columns for a a f And you know, 101 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: I said, God bless him because like there are a 102 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: lot of dudes that I had never ever heard of 103 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: in my life, and you know he's trying to predict 104 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: matchups and production and that sort of thing. Um, I 105 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: would imagine, you know, we may see the same thing 106 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: if people really want to play fan controlled football fantasy. Uh, 107 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: that's Johnny Manzel would be the number one pick, right, 108 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: just a name basis on name value. Man basically just 109 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: the name value. Uh, everybody's gonna draft Manzel, although liter's 110 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: his His stint in Canada did not go well, No, 111 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: he did not. He had that game where he threw 112 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: like a bunch of interceptions. It ended up getting benched. 113 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: Like it. It did not go well for him in Canada. 114 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: So I don't know if if the Fan Control League 115 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: is going to be any better. Who knows. At some point, 116 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: like I expect to see Johnny Manzel like on the 117 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: Challenge on MTV or something like that. Those leagues are for, like, 118 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not the the biggest college football fan, 119 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: but I feel like if you're like a big time 120 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: college football fan, like, those leagues are really cool because 121 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of really talented players who just don't 122 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: get to make it into the NFL, so they get 123 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: a second chance. You get to watch them, and it's 124 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: it's football during the off season. So yes, it's not NFL, 125 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: nothing will ever compare to the NFL, but it's still football. 126 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: I think that's that's kind of where a lot of 127 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: people fall. It's like a lot of people who watch 128 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: it and who you know who gamble on it, who 129 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: played fantasy on it? Is, it's it's it's something to do. UM. 130 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: And there is that that element of you know, you 131 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: you peruse the rosters and you're like, hey, I remember 132 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: that guy. You know, I were that guy from college 133 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,239 Speaker 1: he played at blank or even the Hey he spent 134 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,559 Speaker 1: you know, half a season playing in the NFL something 135 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: like that. So I'm sure that that's gonna be part 136 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: of it. So, UM, yeah, I just I just thought 137 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: that was interesting. I thought it was just a fun 138 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: little topic to to chat about. UM. Alright, so let's 139 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: let's get back though to our exit interviews that we've 140 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: been doing. UM. We are numbers thirteen through six team here, 141 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: So let's start this with the Los Angeles Chargers, UM, 142 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: who are a riddle wrapped inside an enigma covered by 143 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: a puzzle. Uh. They were seven and nine this year, 144 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: although when you think about how their season went, I 145 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: feel like seven wins seems like a lot, just because 146 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: it just seemed like they were on the brink of 147 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: disaster every single week. But they were seven and nine. 148 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: They were in the thirteenth slot. UH for the draft 149 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: this year. UM, I will say, I mean, you talk 150 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: about what was good. I think it's it's easy just 151 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: to start with Justin Herbert Floria. I mean, the guy 152 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: came out was was thrown into the deep end. When 153 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: Tyrod uh Tyrod Taylor was not able to play after 154 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: just a really scary medical mishap early in the season, 155 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: they threw Justin Herbert into the deep end and and 156 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: he shined. Um. He brought everybody along with him. He 157 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: made it better for Keenan Allen and all those other guys. 158 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like that was sort of the 159 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: good for this team. I don't know if there was 160 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: anything else you saw that that really stuck out to you. 161 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: To me, I think it's Herbert, and I think it's 162 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: also the fact that Herbert and the offense was still 163 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 1: funneling through their their top fantasy assets. Like it wasn't 164 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: like Herbert was a a spread the ball type of 165 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: quarterback like Keenan Allen for most of the year was 166 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: leading the league in target share before he got hurt 167 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: later late in the season, and then once Austin Ekela returned, 168 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: he was seeing you know, like nine ten plus targets 169 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: every single game and until the very like last two 170 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: weeks of this season. So the fact that he not 171 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: only that Herbert you know, was second all time for 172 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: rookies and passing yards behind only Andrew Luck, the fact 173 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: that he broke the record for most passing yards per game, 174 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: most rookie touchdown passes by a rookie, like, all of 175 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: that is great, but for me, even a step further 176 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: is the fact that he propelled Keenan Allen and I 177 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: think actually made Keenan Allen better than Keenan Allen had 178 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: ever been in Fantasy before. And I'm someone who I 179 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: was out on Keenan Allen coming into this year because 180 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: the Tyrod But before that I've really been high Keenan 181 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: Allen and he just took his game to a new level, 182 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: and Alstin Ekeler did as well with Justin Herbert. The 183 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: the fact that he made Keenan Allen so special this 184 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: year uh in Fantasy, I think is what was maybe 185 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: the biggest pleasant surprise. I know that I was sort 186 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: of optimistic about Keenan Island, but I also admit that 187 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: I'm maybe a little more how do I say, blinded, 188 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: a little more of a tyrod stand than a lot 189 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: of people. So I will admit that about myself that 190 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: maybe it's a little bit of a flaw for me. 191 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: I had told myself this story where Tyrod was gonna 192 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: be okay and Keenan Allen was going to see a 193 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: bunch of targets and everything was going to be fine. Um, 194 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: but I also still understood the other side of it. 195 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: I understood the people who had concerns, and I understood 196 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: why Keenan was going off the board and say like 197 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: the fifth round or something like that in a lot 198 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: of leaks, I completely understood that. Um, it worked out 199 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: for Keenan Allen, maybe not the way I had anticipated, 200 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: but then ended up being good. And and you talk 201 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: about Austin Ekeler, that was another thing that I think 202 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: we all felt like coming into the year, guardless of 203 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: who the quarterback was at Austin Eler was going to 204 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: be okay. And he was. Although remember remember back in 205 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: weeks one in Week two Florida, when we thought Josh 206 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: Kelly was just going to take over everything, like he 207 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: had that really good game in Week one and decent 208 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: game in week two, and after that we were like, man, 209 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: this is not gonna be good for Austin Ekeler. He's 210 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: gonna get his his workload cut into uh and then 211 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: midway through the year, it was like the Kitlin Balage 212 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: Show there the Chargers because Josh Kelly just sort of 213 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: sort of disappeared. Um yeah, besides that two before we 214 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: get into like the things that need to improve, I mean, 215 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: how are we feeling about josh Kelly? Are we sort 216 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: of out on him? Or was this just like a 217 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: rookie trying to get his feet underneath him. Yeah, I am. 218 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: I'm out on Josh Kelly, and he is someone that, 219 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: like I was super high on Austin Ekeler, and I 220 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: drafted him in a bunch of leagues coming into this year, 221 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: saying he was a first round pick. But I also 222 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: thought that Joshua Kelly going into double digit rounds was 223 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: a good value because I thought that they were still 224 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: going to use like a change of pace back kind of. 225 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: I thought Ekeler would get the you know, like six 226 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: of the work and then there would be someone else 227 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: there to take, especially on the ground game, because I 228 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: didn't think they wanted to use Ekeler, you know, running 229 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: the ball like twenty times a game, and Joshua Kelly 230 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: just wasn't the answer at any point this season besides 231 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: Week one. Like I looked at it the other day, 232 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: and in Fantasy points per touch he was by far 233 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: the lowest of all the Chargers running backs this year. 234 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: Kaitlin blaj was showing him up klint of someone he 235 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: thought wasn't going to be in the league after he 236 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: got cut this year, and then he goes to almost 237 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: at San Diego to Los Angeles and I'll performs Joshua Kelly. 238 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: So maybe it was just a one year thing. Rookies 239 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: did have a really weird go coming into the season. 240 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: But as long as Alstin Ekeler is still on this roster, 241 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: he's going to dominate pass game usage. So I think 242 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: that just leaves Joshua Kelly to be kind of a 243 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: touchdown dependent or a very low floor running back. I 244 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: really thought at one point, and I said this that 245 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: that I thought Joshua Kelly was going to come in 246 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: there and sort of being Melvin Gordon two point oh um. 247 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: But I have to really sort of recant that because 248 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: it just doesn't look that way. And you know, maybe 249 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: next year is gonna be a better year for him, 250 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: but uh, he he fell off a cliff after the 251 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: first two or three weeks of the season this past year. Um, 252 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: so we talked about what was good, what what did 253 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: you see from this team that needs to improve. I 254 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: mean special teams was a disaster, but that doesn't necessarily 255 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: impact us immediately. What you know, maybe offensively or fantasy 256 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: wise needs to get better for this team. It's sad 257 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: to say because I as like watching him on hard 258 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: knocks and stuff. Anthony Lynn seems like a really good dude, 259 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: and he comes from the Bills, which I'm a fan of, 260 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: But I did not think his play calling and it 261 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: was really getting the job done this year, And there 262 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: was so many blunders, Like to me, one that stands 263 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: out is against the Bills. They Chargers had the ball 264 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: inside the five yard line with like thirty seconds left 265 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: and they got one play and it was a QB sneak. 266 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: That was stuff, and that was it. And like, there 267 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: was just so many moments this year where it was 268 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: head scratching, Like the Chargers it just felt like couldn't 269 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: get out of their own way. And I think, and 270 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: I've been on record saying it a lot, like I 271 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: think this offense has all the pieces to be the 272 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: next great offense in this league. They had Justin Herbert, 273 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: who has shown us he can play the quarterback position 274 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: at a high level in the NFL. Keenan Allen is 275 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: a top five wide receiver with Justin Herbert. I love 276 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler and his ability, especially as a duel thread 277 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Like can they be Kansas City? 278 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: Maybe not, but can they be pretty close to that? 279 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: I do think they had the pieces there, but I 280 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: think they need a new play caller. And that's why 281 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: I'm hoping, like Dabble or it doesn't sound like the 282 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: enemy is gonna end up anywhere right now, but I'm 283 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: hoping one of these good offensive minds end up with 284 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: the Chargers because I think that it could take this 285 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: offense to the next level and be really great for fantasy. 286 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: So so that end, I just I want to see 287 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: some more consistency out of Mike Williams because you talk 288 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: about the pieces they have there, and you know, we've 289 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: obviously seen Keenan Allen do his thing. We know what 290 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: Austin ecler can do. Um. I just I'm waiting to 291 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: see some more consistency out of Mike Williams. I mean, 292 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: he's a guy who have those big spike games, and 293 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: we know that they love using him as a downfield threat. 294 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of a jump ball guy. But I just 295 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: wonder whether or not he can be more than that, 296 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: and whether or not he can be more of a 297 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: compliment to what they're doing with Alan. And look, maybe 298 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: maybe in some ways, maybe it's a be careful what 299 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: you ask for, right, because if Mike Williams becomes more consistent, 300 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: does that mean Keenan Allen can stay as productive? I 301 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: don't know, But I mean this is a guy that 302 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: that I have loved the last couple of years, drafting 303 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: sort of in the later rounds and trying to to 304 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: fit him in as a second or third wide receiver. Um. 305 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: But you know, half the time I end up disappointed 306 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: because you get a lot of games where it's like, 307 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, he gets five targets and it's you know, 308 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: three catches for you know, twenty three yards or something 309 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: like that, and I just that's hard to live with. 310 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: But then you know, other weeks you get the nice 311 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: hundred yards and a touchdown or two sort of game. 312 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: I just want, I want I want something. I'll I'll 313 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: take something in between those two if that's what I 314 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: can get consistently. If I can consistently get the know 315 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: six catches for seventy yards and the occasional touchdown, I'll 316 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: take that over riding the week two week roller coaster 317 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: of Mike Williams um And that's that's one thing I 318 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: just I just want to see get better. He kind 319 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: of reminds me of pre will Fuller. Yeah, like very 320 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: boomer buzz. But but when he shows out, you're like, 321 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: this guy has so much. It's easy to get sucked 322 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: in because you can see the talent, and there's stuff 323 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: in the stats that say there's talent there. It's just 324 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: can you put it together and be consistent. So, speaking 325 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: of consistency, I mean Hunter Henry has been a guy 326 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: that I have loved since that the Chargers drafted him. 327 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: And early in his career, you know, he's splitting time 328 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: with Antonio Gates and you're like, look, man, he's he's 329 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: playing behind a Hall of Famer. I get it right, 330 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: He's just not going to get a ton of targets. 331 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: The last couple of years there hasn't been Gates Um. 332 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: The injuries have been a problem. At this point, this 333 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: far into his career, have we seen the best of 334 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: Hunter Henry. Has he hit his ceiling or is there 335 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: still a possibility there's something else there for him. I 336 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: feel like as long as he stays with the Chargers, 337 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: this is like I'm he's played five seasons in the 338 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: NFL now and I'm just like you Marcus every year. 339 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, he can make the jump, Like he has 340 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: the physical tools there, there's targets up for grabs, especially 341 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: after Gates left, but it's I mean, he doesn't have 342 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: seven hundred yards in a single season in his career. 343 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: He's never played sixteen games, so take that for what 344 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: it is, but never having seven hundred yards, and then 345 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: he had eight touchdowns his rookie year with Antonio Gates 346 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: there five This is high sense then. So for me 347 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: its Hunter Henry. It's gonna depend on his draft costs 348 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: next year. Like if he is if people are once 349 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: again buying into him and he's going as like a 350 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: top ten tight end, I will not be taking that 351 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: shot on him. But if you could get him in 352 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: the later rounds, maybe even as an upside tight end two, 353 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't expect that, but if that becomes the case, 354 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: then I'm much more interested in him. But I just 355 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: feel like as long as Keenan is there and Mike 356 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: Williams is there, and then if Austin Ekeler is there, like, 357 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: there's just not an enough targets I think to keep 358 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: four players Fantasy relevant. And I don't think Keenan, Allen 359 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: or also Neckler go away. They definitely are gonna go away, 360 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: and so it does become a battle for what's left 361 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: over between you know, Mike Williams, Hunter Henry and whoever 362 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: else uh they might bring into this offense next year. 363 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's frustrating because I'm with you. I 364 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: I've seen so much potential. I really liked, I like 365 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: to fit, I like the ability, um, but the production 366 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: just just hasn't been there. I mean the fact that 367 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: this year was a career high with sixty catches. Um. 368 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: You know, it just it just seems like he's close 369 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: but just can't ever quite get over the hump. And 370 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: at this point, I'm starting to feel like maybe he 371 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: just never will. Uh, this is kind of who Hunter 372 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: Henry is going to be. Uh. Next is the Vikings 373 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: also seven and nine? They were they were in the 374 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: number fourteen draft slot. Um, look, I'm gonna ask you 375 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: what's good. I feel like I feel like I know 376 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: kind of what at least one part of the answer 377 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: is going to be. But I'll ask you anyway. I mean, 378 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: what what for you stood out with the Vikings this year? Uh, 379 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook, Adam Feeling, Like like Justin Jefferson 380 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: broke Randy Moss's rookie record. I mean, yeah, that is 381 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: eye opening right there in itself. And Justin Jefferson. I 382 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: kind of feel like Marcus like the first half of 383 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: the year, Adam Feeling was the water receiver one here, 384 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: but I think that's the year went on, like Justin 385 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: Jefferson usurped him, and to use Adam Rank's word, it 386 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: was like like like he was getting the yards and 387 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: the targets every week, Feeling was getting more of the touchdowns. 388 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: But you say it all the time, marguts there, they're 389 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: fick o'bees. Those touchdowns. You can't always rely on them. 390 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: So I actually, as of today, I have Justin Jefferson 391 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: ranked higher than Adam Dealing for my Way to Early 392 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: one rankings. And I mean Dalvin Cook is just as 393 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: good as it get at the running back position, Like 394 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: I think he should be the second pick off the 395 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: board next year. I you know, I love Dalvin Cook. 396 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: And like I've said before, I this time last year 397 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: I was sort of pushing Dalvin Cook as a potential, 398 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: you know, number one overall pick. I was doing it 399 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: mostly just for the sake of starting conversation. But I 400 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: think what he showed, uh and and considering how the 401 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: other top picks went in fantasy and that you know, 402 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: if you had decided to make that move, and look, 403 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: I know very few if anybody did, but if you 404 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: had decided to make that move, it would have worked 405 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: out for you. It would have been it would have 406 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: been pretty good because he was consistently productive. He was 407 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: on the field certainly a lot more, uh, you know 408 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: than guys like McCaffrey and sa Kwan what have you. 409 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: So that that would have turned well. Justin Jefferson has 410 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: been phenomenal and um, you know, I I believed in 411 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: him at the start of the year. I thought he 412 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: was going to be the rookie wide receiver that you 413 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: wanted to have, um And it kind of it proved 414 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: itself to be the case. And I think what was 415 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: more encouraging about all of it is that he sort 416 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: of did it by not just being a slot receiver. 417 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: That was sort of the talk about him coming into 418 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: the year, Uh, that he was a slot receiver. That's 419 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: what he did at L s U, That's how he 420 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: was successful. But you go and you look, he played 421 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: his snaps out wide. So they figured out how to 422 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: at him out wide and have him be successful and 423 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: have him win out there. Uh. Five of us seven 424 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: touchdowns came when he was lined up out wide. So UM, 425 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: that I think is a big step forward, uh in 426 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: his development, in his progression. I think it's it's how 427 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: people are going to start to measure him going forward. 428 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: I still think, and I said this recently on on 429 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: this show, that I think Seedee Lamb out of this 430 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: class is the guy who has maybe the highest ceiling overall. 431 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: But I think Jefferson proved that that he is going 432 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: to be a consistently productive wide receiver year in and 433 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: year out in this offense. And part of what I 434 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: love about the Vikings offense UM is that, uh they 435 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: are very narrow in terms of their targets. Kirk Cousins 436 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: usually has like two guys that he throws the ball 437 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: too before it was stealing and Stefon Diggs, You take 438 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: Digs out, you put Jefferson in, things don't change it 439 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: pretty much two guys that they throw the football too. Um, 440 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: and you couldn't really ask for anything better than that. 441 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's kind of all we want. We 442 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: just want those guys that we know we're gonna get targets. 443 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: Jefferson and Feeling are those guys. Um, So that was good? 444 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: What was? What was not so good? But what do 445 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: you feel like has to get better here? So for 446 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: a real life purpose, I think their defense obviously has 447 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: to improve, But for fantasy I don't want a whole 448 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: lot to change here. Like you took the words right 449 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: out of my mouth. Markets like this offense. They funnel 450 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: their targets through their two best players, and it's it's frustrating. 451 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: You know, you can watch other teams, like you can 452 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: watch the Chiefs, and I know Tyreek Hills basically scored 453 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: a touchdown every single game this year, but there's still 454 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: moments where like he'd be like Tyreek Hill score, Oh wait, no, 455 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: that's Mekole Hardman, Like that hasn't happened with the Vikings. 456 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: You know, one time this year I think I got 457 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: I thought it was Adam Deeland and it was Chad Beebe. 458 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: But besides that, like it goes through those two guys. So, 459 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: and we've said it a lot. With teams with bad defenses, 460 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: they have to throw more, which means it just even 461 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: more to those two guys. And the whole running game 462 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: runs through Dalvin Cook. They hardly take him off the 463 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: field to get in like Alexander Madison or any of 464 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: those guys. So the only change I want to see 465 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: in one is I want them to move on from 466 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph and realize what they have in Irv Smith 467 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: because they used a very high draft pick on him, 468 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: and what he showed us in the second half of 469 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: the season when Kyle Rudolph was out was that he 470 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: can be a legit top tight end in this league. 471 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: And I'm very very high on him heading into next year. 472 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: If they get rid of Kyle Rudolph, like he will 473 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: be a top ten tight end for me easily. If 474 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: if they move on from Rudolph. It's sort of weird 475 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: the thing, right, this is a team that finished seven 476 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: and nine, but the but offensively it is everything we 477 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: wanted in fantasy. Right, They've got three guys that they 478 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: get the football to I'm looking here at the you 479 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: know the target share, right, I mean you look at 480 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: the top two. Jefferson had a hundred and twenty five, 481 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: Feeling had a hundred and eight. The next closest was 482 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook at fifty four. I mean, like when they 483 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: are throwing, you know pretty much where it is going 484 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: on a consistent basis. You look at the rushing attempts. 485 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook three hundred and twelve. Second was Alexander Madison 486 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: at nineties six. They have three guys in this offense 487 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: and generally are going to get the football, and for us, 488 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: that makes it easy, That makes it easy to figure 489 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 1: out and and to have all three of those guys 490 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: be productive. I mean, like, let's I'm gonna guess that 491 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: next year between Cook, Um, Jefferson and Feeling, all those 492 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: guys are gonna be off the board by what fourth 493 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: round at the latest. You know, like, I can't imagine 494 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: that they last beyond then. Um, Dalvin Cook, I mean, 495 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: is going top five for sure. I think Justin Jefferson 496 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: is like that two threes win. He can go around there, 497 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: and then I think on the end of the fourth round, 498 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: Feelings gone as well. Yeah, I just I don't think 499 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: any of those guys are still gonna be on the 500 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: board when you get to the fifth round. And I 501 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: mean that's cool, like we can figure it out and 502 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: like we can all have a level of confidence that 503 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: they're going to be fairly productive. You know what's kind 504 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: of wild, Like we love these two receivers, but no 505 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: one likes Kirk Cousins, right, It is weird because Cousins 506 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: is just kind of like it's just like he's just 507 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: you know, Douzen's is that guy that at the end 508 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: of the year he'll be around QB twelve or so 509 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: in total points. But it won't it won't be a 510 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: fun ride getting it won't it won't be easy, it 511 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: won't be pretty. Um Right now, I just say, like 512 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 1: people who love the Law Sausage and Kirk Cousins fantasy 513 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: points should be watching neither of them being made because 514 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: they're just it's just not it's just not fun to experience. Um. 515 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: But talking about Adam Feeland, right, and and you talked 516 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: about how Justin Jefferson took over as the Vikings number 517 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: one receiver late in the year, is feeling still an 518 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: overall Fantasy wide receiver one or is he gonna has 519 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: he been relegated to a wide receiver to starting next year? 520 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: For me, I have him as a wide receiver too 521 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: right now because I have Justin Jefferson in my top twelve. 522 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: Uh couldn't this offense sustain to top twelve wide receivers? Yes, 523 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: but I would feel a little bit more comfortable having 524 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: one in the top twelve and then one like just 525 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: outside of it, because then you're not, you know, reaching 526 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: for the ceiling on them. And I just think what 527 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: we saw to Justin Jefferson, the fact that down the 528 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: stretch he was getting more targed, he was more consistent 529 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: with the targets in the yardage and dealing is the 530 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: red zone presence, And I think it's gonna get a 531 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: lot of touchdowns again, but I chust the targets in 532 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 1: the yardage more. And Justin Jefferson is still like he 533 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: was a rookie this year without a preseason. He is 534 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: still very much on the rise. Where Adam Feeling is 535 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: gonna be thirty one next year, And and we we 536 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: hear it all the time, like thirty one thirty two. 537 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: That's when wide receivers you start to see a little 538 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: bit of a dip. I think dealing is fine. I said, 539 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: I would take you in the top four rounds, but 540 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: not as a wide receiver one. I like him a 541 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: lot more as my second wide receiver. I mean part 542 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: of what kept him, I would say kept him afloat. 543 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I had over nine hundred receiving yards this year, 544 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: he had seventy four catches. That those are not bad numbers, 545 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: but the fourteen touchdowns made a huge difference. And I 546 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: mean this is a guy that before this, his previous 547 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: career high was nine um, you know, and he very 548 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: easily could could fall back to eight or nine touchdowns 549 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: again next year, which takes a big chunk out of 550 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: his production. Especially Jefferson continues to put up the yardage 551 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: numbers and see those targets, especially down field. So there's 552 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: a very real possibility that you could see Adam feeling 553 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: kind of fall back and end up you know, as 554 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: maybe the wide receiver eighteen or twenty next year. Not 555 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: that he's gonna have a bad year, not that he's 556 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: going to be terrible, just that if if he can't 557 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: pick up the yardage numbers, if he can't get to 558 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: a thousand yards, if he can't get you eighty nine catches. Um, 559 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: then he really does have to score a huge number 560 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: of touchdowns, and that's just not guaranteed really for anybody, 561 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: but especially for guys you mentioned who is you know 562 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: on the other side of thirty. Now, yeah, were you 563 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: surprised to see his yardage total at the end of 564 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: the year, because I was. I was, Yeah, I thought 565 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: for sure he had gotten a thousand yards. I just 566 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: I just kind of thought that was the case. But 567 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: I was very surprised by that when I saw it. Um. Alright, 568 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: so those are the Vikings next, and it's weird to 569 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: be talking about them in the slot. But the New 570 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: England Patriots, they have the number fifteen draft pick. They 571 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: finished seven and nine, Um, and look seven and nine. 572 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: You know, I talked about the Chargers feeling weird at 573 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: seven and nine because everything seemed like a weekly disaster 574 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: for them by the end. It sort of felt that 575 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: way for the Patriots too, because offensively they just couldn't 576 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: do anything. They couldn't move the ball, they couldn't score points, 577 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: and so it feels like seven and nine. It's like, wow, 578 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: that that feels a lot better than than I remember 579 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: it being. Um. I don't know what about this team 580 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: I liked offensively. I mean earlier in the year when 581 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: they when they signed Cam Newton in the off season, 582 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: we thought, wow, man, if Cam can come back and 583 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: be what he even a portion of what he was, 584 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: this is gonna be great. Um, there was just floor. 585 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm really I'm really scratching my head trying to figure 586 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: out what I liked offensively about this team this year. 587 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: And maybe aside from a couple of Damien Harris weeks. Um, 588 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: it's it's hard for me to come up with anything. 589 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: Maybe you can bail me out, but I can't come 590 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: up with anything that really stood out to me. No, 591 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 1: I can't blue out because I think that the Patriots 592 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: were the worst team for fantasy in like once Cam 593 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: Newton was was solid, especially early on because he was running, 594 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: like getting all of their rushing touchdowns early on, but 595 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: then down the stretch, like he really started to sputter 596 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: aenny games this year without a rushing touchdown. He was 597 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: averaging uh single digit fantasy points up until weeks That 598 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: might have changed in Week seventeen because he had like 599 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: the receiving touchdown. Um it went for nearly forty fantasy points, 600 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: but his numbers are also pretty skewed, like he had 601 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: a few really big blow up games and then like 602 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of single digit fantasy games and then they're 603 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: running backs. I mean with Tom Brady Gun, they weren't 604 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: throwing nearly as consistent to James White, so I don't 605 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: think he Like most weeks, I would have James White 606 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: ranks in like the forties at running back because I 607 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: was just like, he has no ceiling and his floor 608 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: is single digits, I think, and then Sony Michelle is 609 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: I want nothing to do with him, and Damian Harris. 610 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: I like he was the bright spot I would say 611 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: for this season, but because of how much they rotated 612 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: their different running backs and the fact that James White 613 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: catches the passes and then at one point Rex Burke 614 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: Head or Cam Newton, we're coming into vulture his touchdowns. 615 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: Damien Harris was basically a guy who can give you 616 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: like somewhere between like nine and thirteen fantasy points. I 617 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: think his ceiling if they allowed him to be a 618 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: lead running back is a lot higher. But like coming 619 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: into next year, I mean, maybe they bring back Julian 620 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: Edelman and then he'll will like be one player. But 621 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: do they bring back Cam Newton? I'm I'm not sold, uh, 622 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: I mean he got benched how many times this year? 623 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: Like do they like Jacoby Myers and Nikill Harry? I 624 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: don't want really any interest in them. And then there's 625 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: no tight end of interest here, and they use so 626 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: many different running backs that I think Damian Harris is 627 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: the only one that I'm really gonna have any interests 628 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: for fantasy as now. Yeah, So, and that's that's sort 629 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: of the thing. It's just like, I can't I can't 630 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: think of anybody. That was kind of the question I 631 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: was gonna ask later, was like, is there anybody that's 632 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: currently on this roster that you draft? And I think 633 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: I think the answer is just sort of no. Um, 634 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: you know, I maybe look, I I would imagine we're 635 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: gonna get to the preseason and whatever whatever form of 636 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: preseason we have this year, right, and I can certainly 637 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: imagine there will be a part of of the fantasy 638 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: community that's looking around and saying, you know what, maybe 639 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: take a shot at Damien Harris, right, I mean he's young, 640 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: he's talented. Um, you know, how much longer can James 641 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: White really continue on? At this point? We've seen Sony 642 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: Michelle looks like he's pretty much cooked. And I can't 643 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: imagine they keep trying to run with him. So maybe 644 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: Damien Harris starts to get some some mid to late 645 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: round love at some point in the preseason. But you know, 646 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,719 Speaker 1: Cam Newton looked. I love Cam, but he looked awful 647 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: this year. You know, they I did, I did, I had, 648 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: I was, I was camp for Halloween. I had Cam 649 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: on a couple of rosters, like I really, I really tried, 650 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: and it just it wasn't working out. Um. Some of 651 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: it was some of it was Cam, I mean, some 652 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: of it was just some awful throws that he made. 653 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: Some of it was the fact that he had nobody 654 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: to throw the football to. Um. You know, we we 655 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: tried it with Jacoby Myers. I I was a Nikila 656 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: Harry fan when he was at Arizona State and and 657 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: he has not shown anything. UM. I mean we're where 658 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: else where else are we going with this? The mere bird? Um? 659 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: And I feel like that's the thing of all the 660 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: things offensively, they need to get fixed on this team. 661 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: They have to find at least one wide receiver that 662 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: can do something for them, right, I mean they can't 663 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: expect Julian Edelman to come back and what he's gonna 664 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: be thirty five next year. They can't expect Julian Edelman 665 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: to keep bailing them out. They you know, at some 666 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: point Nikkila Harry has got to either develop or they've 667 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: got to move on from him. Uh, the mere bird 668 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: has you know, we sort of know what he is, 669 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: you know. I don't know if if you know, they 670 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: go after one of the Alabama guys Florio, if Davante 671 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: Smith is still going to be there at fifteen, if 672 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: Jaylen Waddle is going to be there, But they have 673 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: to do something to improve this wide receiver corps um 674 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: because it was they might have they had the worst 675 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: receiver corping league. I can. I feel like I can 676 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: just say that flat out. I think they had the 677 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: worst wide receiver group in the National Football League And 678 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: if that doesn't get better, um, it doesn't really matter 679 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: who the quarterback is that they're just going to continue 680 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: to not be able to move the football next year. 681 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: Completely agree that I think it was the worst in football. 682 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: I think there for fantasy, for their whole offense as 683 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: a whole, it is one of the worst in football. 684 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: Because even you know, like some of the bad maybe 685 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: the Jets are right, maybe the Jets, but even the 686 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: bad offenses like like Washington they give us you know what, 687 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: Gibson and McLaurin and like there's you could find pieces 688 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: of other offenses where you're like, all right, at least 689 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: there's one or two players that can be somewhat useful 690 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: for fantasy. But with the Patriots, no, And I do 691 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: think because you talk about like fantasy muscle memory a lot, 692 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: and I think it's it's great. I think because of that, 693 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: Julian Edelman will get drafted next year. But that will 694 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: probably be the only reason why. I mean you talk 695 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: about the Jets like, you know, the Jets at Jamison Crowder, 696 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: like you know, they like I would might have a 697 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder on a roster. I mean we had, we 698 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: had a Braxton Barrios game. I mean Basha Parriman every 699 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: once in a while showed up and did things. Um, 700 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: you had the Jet and that the Patriots offense was 701 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: just bad and and um it is going to be 702 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: weird to think that no one is going to draft 703 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: New England Patriots next year or if they do, uh, 704 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: they are going to be sort of you know, dart 705 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: throws or just just sort of reflex picks, just because 706 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: that's what we've always done. Um, it's a new world. Look, 707 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: there's a whole there are there are people in the 708 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: Massachusetts in the state of Massachusetts and the New England area, um, 709 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: who are of legal drinking age, who don't really understand 710 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: what it's like to the Patriots to not be good. 711 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: Like it's been that long. This is because I didn't 712 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: get into football when like until I got I was like, 713 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, like twelve or something, and at a point, 714 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: like it was well and like it was the start 715 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,959 Speaker 1: of the Patriots dynasty. I guess if you want to 716 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: say so, I like to me, besides, this year, the 717 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: Patriots being bad means they didn't make the Super Bowl. 718 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: Like it's wild. It is absolutely. I mean, look, I 719 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: I am old enough. I like I remember when they 720 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: lost to the eighty five Bears and they were just 721 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: pumbled in the Super Bowl by the eighty five Bears, 722 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: and that was like the pinnacle of Patriots success in 723 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: my lifetime. Until you know, this whole thing started with 724 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Um, and so like it's it's been a 725 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: long long time since it has been this way. But 726 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: the the rebuild uh is underway in Foxboro, and it's 727 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: gonna be kind of intriguing to watch. But also for 728 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: a lot of us who just got tired of of, 729 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 1: you know, hearing crowing from the northeast of the country, 730 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 1: it'll be nice to have a little bit of silence 731 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: for at least for a couple of years. Don't worry, 732 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: all their other teams will keep winning. Yeah, yeah, So 733 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: all right, last one here, it's the card to it's 734 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: our first five hundred team. Uh. They were eight and eight. 735 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: They have the number sixteen slot, and I would say that, 736 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: you know, I have a couple of friends who are 737 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: Cardinals fans who live in Phoenix, and I know that 738 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: they were just sort of disgusted with the way the 739 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: season ended for them, because it just seemed like they 740 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: had it there, you know, to use a hockey term, 741 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: it was on their stick and they just couldn't score. 742 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: They could not close the deal in terms of getting 743 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Uh, some bad losses down the stretch. 744 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: So instead of being in the postseason, they're picking sixteenth, 745 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: which sort of puts them in kind of football purgatory 746 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: in terms of trying to to build this roster um. 747 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: But I would say that when it came to what's good, 748 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: I mean there was Kyler, there was nuke Um, and 749 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: those two things were very, very good. And and I 750 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: joked earlier in the years that the offense basically consisted 751 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: of Kyler runs the ball, Kyler throws the ball to 752 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Those things work for much of the season. 753 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: They sort of faded down the stretch, but on the whole, 754 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 1: for fantasy, those two guys were great. And and I 755 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: don't know if there's anything else that that jumped out 756 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: of you, but those are the two things that I 757 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: took away from this Cardinal season, at least for fantasy, 758 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: that that we knew week in and week out we 759 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: were gonna be able to rely on. Yeah, I I 760 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: completely agree with you. And I was one of the 761 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: fools who was questioning the hop a little bit because 762 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: my thinking was, are he left Houston that ran an 763 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: offense like Bill O'Brien would funnel all a hundred and 764 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: fifty targets guaranteed each seasons at d HOP. I was like, 765 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 1: can I what if he falls down to one thirty? 766 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: And like the offense that start the ball out a 767 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: little bit more it didn't happen like he was this 768 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: team's uh like receiver threat and he was their pass catch. 769 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: And then I feel like the Hop got a little 770 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: revenge on me doubting him by you know, catching the 771 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: hail Mary against the Bills. But for me, I think 772 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: you kind of have to look at the Cardinals seasons 773 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: in two parts, like what they did before Kyler Murray 774 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: got hurt and what they did after, because after he 775 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,439 Speaker 1: got hurt, he stopped running, and when you take away, 776 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what he does so well, it'd be 777 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: like telling Lamar Jackson to stop running and then being like, oh, well, 778 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: the Ravens offense got worse. Of course it's gonna get 779 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: worse when they've had a quarterback who can give you 780 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: a hundred rushing yards and had ten rushing touchdowns in 781 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 1: their first nine games, like he was their goal line back, 782 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: and you take that away, your offense becomes a lot 783 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: more predictable because then either you're handing it off to 784 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake or you're gonna throw it Tod Hop right Like, 785 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of unpredictability there. So I 786 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: do think that there's better days to come for this offense, 787 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: because in the first ten weeks, d Hop and Kyler 788 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: looks like league winners. The one negative for them in 789 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: the second half of the season is the fantasy community 790 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: really turned on Cliff Kingsbury, and when that happens, that's 791 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: usually a very bad sign for coaches. That is very true. 792 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: They really did, although I will I would say that 793 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like the fantasy community was 794 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: sort of skeptical. I guess about Cliff Kingsbury. I mean, 795 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: I know when he took over originally and the air 796 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: raid and everything, Everybody's like, Okay, well, let's let's give 797 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: this a shot, right, this could be interesting. I mean, 798 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: we have seen it in various forms kind of make 799 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: its way to the NFL. So I think there was, uh, 800 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: some hope, but a lot of skepticism. But I think 801 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: what we have seen the last couple of years, uh, 802 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: is that You're right, people have sort of turned on Cliff. 803 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: I think some of it is just for a guy 804 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,760 Speaker 1: who you know, preaches this air raid, right, it preaches 805 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: this this wide open form of football. They seem to 806 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: be really conservative in weird spots, you know, there are 807 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: times where they're down close and instead of maybe going 808 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: forward or being aggressive towards the end zone, you know, 809 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: we'll see them play conservative or we'll see them kick 810 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: field goals when a lot of times it seems to 811 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: make sense maybe try and and go for it on 812 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: fourth down. I think that has something to do with it. 813 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 1: But um, yeah, what's the fantasy Once you've lost, Once 814 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,399 Speaker 1: you've lost fantasy Twitter as an offensive minded coach, Uh, 815 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: it might be the beginning of the end for Cliff 816 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: Kingsbury down there in the desert. Um any other things 817 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: though that you saw from last year that that you 818 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: feel like need to improve for this offense. Um. I 819 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 1: I would prefer if they kind of just settled on 820 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: one running back, whether it be Drake Edmonds, because it 821 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: would just make fantasy more fun. Last year how it 822 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 1: worked out was like Edmunds was their pass catcher and 823 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: I don't which would that annoy me more than anything 824 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 1: that Kingsbury did, because Kenyan Drake has shown in his 825 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 1: NFL career that like he's a pretty good pass catching back, 826 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,240 Speaker 1: So taking him off the field I think only makes 827 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: your offense more predictable, because hey, Edmonds is in, we're 828 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: probably throwing the ball. Oh Drake Son, we're probably running 829 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: the ball, and I would prefer it if they just 830 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 1: kind of settled on one, especially because with Kyler Murray's 831 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 1: running ability, like you would never know then like is 832 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: it gonna be a run play, is it gonna be 833 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: a pass player? And then I just think what it 834 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: can do for that offense to have one lead back 835 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: that could kind of keep the defenses guessing would help 836 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: a lot, because it's something that like Bill Belichick used 837 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: to say with James White and when like Sony Michelle 838 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: and stuff, that our offense is easy to predict when 839 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: those guys are on the field, like it becomes easier 840 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: to stop. Yeah, I look, I know that I was, 841 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, I was the chief culprit in the Kenyan 842 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: Drake hype train last year. Like I really was high 843 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: on him, and I drafted him in some spots, and 844 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: at least the start of the year was pretty miserable. 845 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: He turned it around late in the year and that 846 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: was sort of you know, that was encouraging to see, 847 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: but that that beginning of the year was rough. I 848 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,919 Speaker 1: think if I remember right, I think he said kind 849 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: of what what what got him going was that his 850 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: mom basically called him out, and it's like, you're not 851 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: playing well. And like, you know, when when mom calls 852 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 1: you and says you're not playing well, then you really 853 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: do have to reevaluate some things. And I think that's 854 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: that's part of the kind of which I am going 855 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: a little bit. So, uh, maybe we should, you know, 856 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: if we can, If anybody knows how to get in 857 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,879 Speaker 1: touch with Kenyan Drake's mom, uh and use her as 858 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: a motivational speaker for the off season, that would be great. Um. 859 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: Can you imagine if your mom called you and was like, 860 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: you you made bad fantasy picks this week? Oh man, Um, 861 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: I would be crushed. It's funny because my mom watches 862 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: she watches Fantasy Live and she she doesn't care about football, 863 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: she doesn't know anything about football, but she watches the 864 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,720 Speaker 1: show like regularly, and she's just like, I like watching 865 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,839 Speaker 1: you on TV. I like when you're wearing your nice suit. 866 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: She's like, I have no idea what you're talking about, 867 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: but it's great, And I'm like, thanks, are um the 868 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,359 Speaker 1: other thing about this offense? I And look, you can 869 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 1: talk to me off the ledge here if I'm getting crazy. 870 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: But I am really about to give up on Christian Kirk. Um. 871 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: You know, I've tried it for a few years. Um, 872 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 1: this year I was not quite so last year, I 873 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,839 Speaker 1: was really big on Christian Kirk and he was just okay. Um, 874 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: Although it turned out to be that that last year 875 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 1: was the best season he's had so far, sixty eight catches, 876 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: seven nine and then I said last year, I mean 877 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, So sixty eight catches, uh, seven hundred nine 878 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: yards just the three touchdowns. He had six touchdowns this year, 879 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: which is a career high. But again, there's just nothing 880 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: about Christian Kirk's season that that really made you feel like, yeah, 881 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: I gotta have this guy on my roster. I gotta 882 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: have him in my starting lineup. And it's been three 883 00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: years of just mediocre, had best play for him, and 884 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 1: now with Nuke there and obviously just absorbing so many targets, 885 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: I'm just sort of feeling like, you know, this is 886 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: kind of who Christian Kirk is. Like I think I'm 887 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: ready to just kind of tap out. I think I'm 888 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: walking away from the table on this one. Yeah I 889 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: am as well. I don't think that's crazy at all, Marcus, 890 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: because I kind of went a roundabout way of getting 891 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 1: sucked into Christian Chark this year, Like I wasn't high 892 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: on him coming into into drafts, and then he had 893 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 1: uh he struggled the first month and was dropped, and 894 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 1: I got sucked into hyping him up as like this 895 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: big waiver wire pickup who can become a weekly starter 896 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: for you because he had a nice stretch in the 897 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: middle of the season twenty two twenty three. It came 898 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,240 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, the Seahawks, and the Dolphins. Dolphins defenses 899 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 1: is legit. But then after that, I don't believe he 900 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: scored fifteen. He had one game over ten points and 901 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: none with fifteen the rest of the way. So it's 902 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: just too inconsistent for my liking. And I agree with you. 903 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: I think it's it's Kyler and and d hop here 904 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: the passing game. No more Andy Isabella and Bastball, no 905 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: more Christian Kirk. I just gotta wash my hands of 906 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: it right now. That was another guy. Andy Isabel is 907 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: another guy that that fantasy Twitter sort of loves um. 908 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: He's like a darling of fantasy Twitter who really just 909 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: it's funny because he don't hear from him. You don't 910 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: hear him do much. And then he'll take like he'll 911 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: take a slant and he'll go sixty five seventy yards 912 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: with it, and suddenly, like everybody comes out of the 913 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 1: wood works again they're like and Isabella, and like then 914 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 1: we don't hear from him for like a month. Jeff 915 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 1: Janice two point yeah, exactly. So I think I actually, 916 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: honestly wouldn't be surprised if we see the Cardinals do 917 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: something this offseason to sort of bolster their their wide receivers. 918 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: Remember it's just a couple of years ago, right, They 919 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: drafted Isabella, Keishawn Johnson from Fresno State, Hakim Butler all 920 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 1: in the same draft. Uh, And I know it's only 921 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: been a couple of years, but none of those guys 922 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 1: has shown really any inkling of doing anything at this point. 923 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 1: Hockey Butler, I don't think he's been on the Cardinals roster, 924 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: if I remember, correctly got picked up by the Eagles 925 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: and they're trying to convert him to a tight end. 926 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: Tight end, that's right, that is that's correct. So I 927 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 1: mean we s have how bad's going and they're gonna 928 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: lose fits to probably. I know it's not a guarantee, 929 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: but right, right, I mean there's a very good chance 930 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: that Larry Fitzgerald retires, you know, which would not be 931 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: surprising because everything how long he's been in the league 932 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: and how productive he's been. So at some point, I 933 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: think they really do have to look at trying to 934 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 1: bring in some wide receiver help because as great as 935 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 1: Nuke is, um, you do have to have some diversity. 936 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: You have to have somebody else to throw the football too. Um. 937 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: He's all about Kinyan Drake and him back there with 938 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds, I talked about the fact that I was, 939 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, driving the bus for for his hype last season. 940 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: What is his draft value next year? Since we were all, 941 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: you know, we we were disillusioned coming into the year. 942 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: We all sort of you know, had that reality punch 943 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: in the gut. How do we how do we value 944 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 1: him for draft next year? So I think Adam Rank 945 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: made a good point after the season that like uh 946 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, while he didn't live up to our expectations 947 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 1: as a first round RB one, he also you know, 948 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,760 Speaker 1: he he wasn't terrible. And usually when a player doesn't 949 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: live up to expectations, like Rank said, he's gonna get drafted. 950 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 1: He finished as a top twenty running back, but I 951 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 1: expect him to get drafted outside the top twenty because 952 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: he was a letdown compared to what we expected out 953 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: of him. And I was like, that's a really good point. 954 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: And if that ends up being the case and you 955 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 1: could get him as like a low nd RB two 956 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 1: and fantasy drafts, I would be interested. But then I 957 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 1: keep going back to he didn't catch a whole lot 958 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: of passes. He had two games all year with over 959 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,439 Speaker 1: a hundred scrimmage yards, and his value the second half 960 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,399 Speaker 1: of the year was because he was getting so many touchdowns, 961 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 1: and if those become either go down or get spread 962 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: out a little bit more, he becomes really hard to trust. 963 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: So Kenyan Drake, I think is gonna be one of 964 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: those hard to kind of pinpoint exactly where you feel 965 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: comfortable with him. But I am anticipating he'll probably go 966 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 1: in like round four, But I think I would like 967 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: him a lot more if he felt like another round. 968 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: I am just sort of amazed. He only had thirty 969 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: one targets this past season. He had thirty. They gaven 970 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: thirty five targets the year before when he only played 971 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 1: half the year with them, you know, and that was. 972 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: I know that was part of the reason I was 973 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 1: so excited about him. I'm like, all right, he got 974 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 1: thirty five targets in eight games. Um, you know, do 975 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: the the easy math, right, you spread it over sixteen games. 976 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: At seventy targets, that's a pretty big number. But even 977 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,919 Speaker 1: if he didn't hit seventy, even if he was still 978 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, fifty five or sixty, I would have been 979 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 1: okay with that. The fact that they just didn't throw 980 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 1: him the football was sort of mind boggling to me. 981 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 1: And and you're right, he's you know what, I imagine 982 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: Chinan Drake is gonna be that guy where you're on 983 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,439 Speaker 1: the clock in say the third round or something like that, 984 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: and he's sitting there and there's maybe a wide receiver 985 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: or two, and you're really gonna be like, do I 986 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: do I take him? Now? Can I wait and see 987 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: if he comes back to me in the fourth He's 988 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 1: gonna be that guy that I think. You know, you're 989 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: gonna have potentially a lot of Drafters remorse over. Um, 990 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: you know, unless he steps it up and has a 991 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 1: huge twenty one season. But he's gonna be really really 992 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 1: hard to figure out. He probably shouldn't tweet before the 993 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 1: year that he's gonna win everyone fantasy championships. It might 994 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,439 Speaker 1: be a good idea, I think the idea. Look I am, look, 995 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 1: you know how I feel about people tweeting at players. 996 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 1: But maybe sometimes uh, you know I I maybe maybe 997 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,760 Speaker 1: it's possible to be too confident. I don't know, uh, 998 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 1: and in flight expectations. No idea. All right, So those 999 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 1: were our picks. Are the draft picks, I should say 1000 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: thirteen through sixteen. We'll get back to it next week 1001 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 1: with me do the mat seventeen to twenty. Um. Of 1002 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,840 Speaker 1: course we're going to have some teams that enter the 1003 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: draft ranks coming up this weekend because there's another round 1004 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: of NFL playoffs. It's the divisional week, so as always 1005 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 1: we should probably put together a lineup for folks who 1006 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: are playing daily fantasy. I went through it, and look, man, 1007 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the divisional playoffs, and no surprise, there 1008 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: aren't a lot of easy picking matchups, right. It's it's 1009 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 1: gonna be tough to put together in line up. So, um, curiously, 1010 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 1: where you would how you built your your daily lineup 1011 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,799 Speaker 1: for this week? I went with the I would say 1012 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: I maybe it seems a little obvious, but they're expensive. 1013 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 1: I went with a chief stack though, like I have 1014 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, and Tyreek Hill all in my 1015 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: DFS lineup UH with rounding it out at cam Acres 1016 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 1: as my RB one. He's under six thousand, but last 1017 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 1: week he looks really good. He was getting all the 1018 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 1: work there. I like cam Akers a lot this week, 1019 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 1: and just you know, in UH, and then I have 1020 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is my r B two only because he's 1021 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 1: under five thousand. I went no Zack Moss, like can 1022 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 1: he maybe scored a touchdown? Can he maybe get a 1023 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 1: little bit more work? I I do think he will 1024 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,800 Speaker 1: get more work than we've seen him. And then rounding 1025 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: it out, I have Gabe Davis at four thousand. You 1026 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:58,879 Speaker 1: gotta get some cheap guys in there if you want 1027 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,760 Speaker 1: to get this stack. Willie Sneed at thirty just because 1028 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: we've seen it, Lamar will rely on. Willie Sneed is 1029 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,439 Speaker 1: like a chain mover and he can get like four 1030 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,239 Speaker 1: or five catches that way. And then my flex is JK. 1031 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: Dobbins at six k because I think the Ravens are 1032 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: gonna really try to run the ball against the Bills. 1033 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 1: That is the bills one weakness, and we saw the 1034 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: Colts try to take advantage of it last week and 1035 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: the defense had to go cheap again. But Rams defense 1036 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: it's hundred. I understand they're facing Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, 1037 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: but Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey and those guys could 1038 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 1: still make some play. So it's the second cheapest defense. 1039 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 1: Give me what I think is the best defense in football. 1040 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,400 Speaker 1: So we had some similarities. I went, I didn't know 1041 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,919 Speaker 1: the triple triple stack for the Chiefs, but I did 1042 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: go with the Patrick Mahomes Tyreek Hill stack because I 1043 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: just felt like that, you know, because because there were 1044 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 1: no good quarterback options out there that I just really 1045 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 1: really loved them, like, let's just go big, let's just 1046 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 1: get my home to put him in there. I did 1047 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 1: have Cam Akers there as one of my running backs. 1048 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,320 Speaker 1: I went Nick Chubb at the other running back spot 1049 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 1: because you know, we know he's going to get touches. 1050 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 1: And I think for the Brown if they want to 1051 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 1: be successful, part of it is going to be running 1052 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 1: the football, trying to keep the ball out of Mahomes 1053 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 1: hands as much as possible, and just trying to eat 1054 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 1: as much clock short in the game if you can 1055 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: um the other wide receivers and Emmanuel Sanders. I thought 1056 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 1: about trying to slot Michael Thomas in there against that 1057 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,360 Speaker 1: Bucks secondary. It just wasn't quite gonna work. But I figured, well, 1058 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: I can go with Sanders. Uh, maybe you don't get 1059 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: the same number of targets, but there's still an opportunity 1060 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 1: for him to get the football as long as Sean 1061 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 1: Payton goes with Drew. There's a lot of tastom Hill 1062 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 1: last week, which you know is that's a whole other 1063 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,760 Speaker 1: conversation for another time. But um, hopefully we see more breeze, 1064 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: which means they're throwing the football a little bit more. 1065 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: So I went with Emmanuel Sanders. I'll put Scotty Miller 1066 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: because you need a value pick to to kind of 1067 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: fit all these other big names in there. And even 1068 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,080 Speaker 1: even with the big three receivers they're in Tampa, they're 1069 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,799 Speaker 1: still the occasional Scotty Miller targets and maybe they can 1070 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 1: pop a big one down field with him and he 1071 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:55,879 Speaker 1: finds his way into the end zone. So I'm sort 1072 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,919 Speaker 1: of playing for that potential touchdown upside up my tight 1073 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 1: end lit with Mark Andrews, and you and I talked 1074 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: earlier in the week about the Bills, their struggles against 1075 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,759 Speaker 1: tight ends, the fact that they had a tough time 1076 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,440 Speaker 1: with Jack Doyle. Uh, you know, you and I were speculated, 1077 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 1: and maybe they put Tradavious White on Mark Andrews to 1078 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 1: try and neutralize him a little bit, but I'm still 1079 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,240 Speaker 1: willing to take the shot at him. Uh. My flex 1080 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 1: was Kareem Hunt. So I went with Nick Chubb, hoping 1081 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 1: that the Browns would run the football a lot, but 1082 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 1: just in case they do have to throw it, in 1083 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 1: case the Chiefs put up a lot of points, I 1084 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: haven't I have a Cream Hunt as my fallback there 1085 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 1: at the flex. And then defensively, I went with the Packers. Um, 1086 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 1: I know it's you know, look, it's not necessarily they 1087 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: haven't been great this year. But I'm looking at the 1088 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,399 Speaker 1: Rams quarterback situation, Um, you know, and I know they're 1089 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: trying to get Jared Goff ready and hopefully his thumb 1090 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 1: is going to be a little bit better this week. 1091 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, even a healthy Jared Goff has 1092 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: not always been great this year. So I feel like 1093 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 1: that that is going to give me enough confidence to 1094 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: to throw the Packers in there, uh and see if 1095 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: they can perform. But it's gonna be interesting. I know 1096 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,959 Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you which game you're most looking 1097 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 1: forward to, but I know the answer to that, right, 1098 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 1: This is the game that I Maybe I'm biased, but 1099 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: I just feel like it is I think easily the 1100 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: most the game to get excited about because it's two 1101 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, who again I'm biased some of it's two 1102 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,920 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks and two pretty good offenses that also have 1103 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 1: good defenses, so they'll be challenges for them. But yeah, 1104 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm excited, like I'm getting wings for that game. Marcus, 1105 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna probably be wearing all Bill's gear again. And 1106 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,760 Speaker 1: just I'm excited at Saturday night because ten am kickoff 1107 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 1: was fun, but I like like five pm. It's just 1108 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,439 Speaker 1: it'll be nice to have like a beer and watch 1109 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 1: the game. I felt a little weird trying to do 1110 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 1: that at ten am. You also have to you have 1111 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 1: to wear the same outfit that you were last week, 1112 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,800 Speaker 1: you know that, right, Like you can't you can't modify. 1113 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 1: You gotta wear what you were last week because obviously 1114 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 1: it's the Lucky Charmers what got them to win. I 1115 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: I washed all the clothes this week, and because my 1116 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 1: fiance said the same thing, she was like, you have 1117 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,920 Speaker 1: to wear them everything again. And I told my fiance, like, 1118 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 1: she has to wear Bills gears this week too. Now 1119 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens, I am nervous, like if they the Bills 1120 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,880 Speaker 1: lose to the Chiefs or something. But I want to 1121 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,279 Speaker 1: get to the a f C Championship game. And the 1122 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 1: Ravens are are scary. The Ravens are scary, and especially 1123 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: with Lamar turning into like the Lamar Jackson superhero that 1124 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 1: we've seen in the past, because we saw that last week, 1125 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,280 Speaker 1: and so that's that's I'm gonna If I'm the Chiefs, 1126 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm worried about both those teams. I mean, obviously they've 1127 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 1: got then got their own problems. They will have their 1128 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 1: hands full full with the Browns this week, but you know, 1129 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 1: if they get through, um, I think they're gonna have 1130 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 1: problems with either the Ravens or the Bills. So, uh, 1131 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be fun. And you know, especially 1132 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,239 Speaker 1: for me as an impartial observer, to just sit back 1133 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 1: and be able to watch without the emotional stress, that's 1134 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 1: gonna be great.
