1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the 2 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. It's me and your man, nam 3 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,479 Speaker 1: G Marcus Grant socially distancing alongside the fancy Hall of 4 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: Famer Michael Fabriano, and uh, I don't. I don't even know. 5 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: I usually try to come up with some question to 6 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: ask you to enter this, but I don't. I have nothing. 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: Right now. Everything is the same, every day is the same. 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: It is Yeah at this point, Um, it is the same, unfortunately, 9 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 1: and I feel like it's going to be like this 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: for for some time. I mean, at least there's some hope, 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: Like they're talking about maybe starting baseball at the end 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: of June at the beginning of July, so maybe there's 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of a light at the end of 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: the tunnel. Anybody who who is used to going to 15 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: sporting events should forget about that until next year, because 16 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: that's not going to happen for at least very likely 17 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: not going to happen, and if it doesn't want happen, 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: happen until I mean late late late uh in the year. 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: But um, the NFL is still expecting to have football, 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: whether it starts on time or if it starts a 21 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: month late, so at least we have that to hang 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 1: our hat on, right, and the schedule release is apparently 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: on track to happen in about a week from now 24 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: somewhere in that area. So that's give us a little 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: more something to talk about two in the in the 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: very near future. But yeah, other than that, it's you know, 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: every day is sort of every day. So uh, we're 28 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: gonna kind of put a button on our NFL Draft 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: conversation as we go through some of the big winners 30 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: and losers, guys who are already in the league, veterans 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: who may have been hurt or helped by what their 32 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: teams did in the draft. We got a list of names. Fact, 33 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: I know you wrote on NFL dot com you're winners 34 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: and losers pieces, So if you want to read those, 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: you can go to NFL dot com slash popiano and 36 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: find those there. I got some news headlines as well. 37 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: But first let's talk to our faithful producer, seor Edward L. 38 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: Murphy Esquire Murphy's going on. I have to ask you, guys, 39 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: because as we just started, had a couple of emails 40 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: from Amazon about orders being shipped or you know, confirmed, 41 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: are you guys doing the same thing I am about 42 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: just ordering stuff that you probably never would have unless 43 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: you're in quarantine, and then you somehow convince yourself like, oh, 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: I do need a new glass set and a couple 45 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: of action knives and a water bottle and a mouse pad. 46 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: It's just like I and I have too many packages. 47 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure we can win if I got all 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: of them or not, and I have to snap out 49 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: at this phase of like ordering these things that I 50 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: really probably don't need. I I mean, I've ordered a 51 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: couple of little things around the house that like, you know, 52 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: I can't find this, or I lost this, or this 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: was sort of you know, older shred, so I ordered 54 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: anyone to replace it. Most of my ordering has been 55 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: from some of these like new hobbies and cooking projects 56 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: I've picked up, like I've decided like this, this is 57 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: where we are in quarantine. Now I've decided to attempt 58 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: making my own kombucha. I didn't really drink kombucha, it's 59 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: just something to do. So now I have like two 60 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: giant glass jars that are waiting to be picked up. Um, 61 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: so I can attempt this kombucha that I may or 62 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: may not ever drink. Who knows. That was awesome, though 63 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: I have never been doing that. I have not been 64 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: ordering anything that I don't need, because um, I have 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: everything I need at this point, and I don't want 66 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: I don't want to spend any money frivolously during pandemic. 67 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm just like trying to avoid that altogether. Yeah, that's 68 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: probably smart, but you know whatever. To make that clear, 69 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not throwing around large amount kidding like, 70 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: it's just I usually get by Like I have one 71 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: of those mouth wireless mouse from my laptop and I 72 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: would just put on top of like a book or something. 73 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: And then now just I'm sitting around like okay, well 74 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: should order a mouse pad, and then like I like 75 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: a glass in my kitchen broke, I'm like, well, I 76 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: shoulder a new set. Just stuff that you never ever knew. 77 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: You've already spent at least a hundred dollars on headbands, 78 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: come on, let's go, no see, And that's another after that, 79 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: it's been another grade one, a three pack on AMAS. 80 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: I was like ten dollars atrocious air. I gotta stop. Yeah, 81 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: I feel like everybody has their you know, we all 82 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: we all cope with this differently, and I do think 83 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: that sort of comfort shopping a lot of people, a 84 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: lot of retail, a lot of retail therapy. So alright, 85 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: let's dive into this and let's do some news. Bit 86 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: of news that came across the wire this morning before 87 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: we started recording this podcast. The the Bengals have finally 88 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: made the decision and after nine seasons, they have released 89 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. So the red Rifle is no longer in Cincinnati. 90 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: I mean, FABS was not a surprise by any stretch 91 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: that the Bengals went out and took Joe Burrow number 92 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: one overall. He is their quarterback of the future. Um, yeah, 93 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: I guess they were maybe trying to hold out hope 94 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: that they could swing a trade for Andy Dalton. That's 95 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: obviously not gonna happened. So now he goes into what 96 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: is a fairly deep quarterback free agent pool. Man. I know, 97 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: I know, you know, Jamis Winston just signed with the Saints, 98 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: but Cam Newton is still out there. There are still 99 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: some good veteran quarterbacks out there, and it's gonna be 100 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: hard to imagine some of these guys finding homes right away. 101 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: Do you find it odd that the Bears made a 102 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: trade for Nick Foles, but Cam Newton and Andy Dalton 103 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: we're not able to be traded. I feel like the 104 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: Bears again showing their ineptitude in the front office by 105 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: making that move. Um. But regardless, Dalton's gonna go to 106 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: New England or Jacksonville because those are the two best 107 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: fits for him. I don't know if thet the Patriots 108 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: are really into Jared Stidham or if they've begun the 109 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: tank for Trevor campaign already. I would suggest the latter 110 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: is true. So if they are truly tanking this season 111 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: and trying to win game six to three, then they 112 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: will not sign Andy Dalton. Um. I. Jacksonville is an 113 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: obvious fit because they have Gardner Minshew and who knows 114 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: what you'll get from him as an NFL sophomore, and 115 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: Jake Gruden's the offensive coordinator there, and Dalton clearly very 116 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: very familiar with gruden system during their time together in 117 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: the Queen City. Yeah. Um, well, you mentioned Cam Newton 118 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: and the sort of rules right into the next thing, 119 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: where Ron Rivera is saying they are pretty much set 120 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: in Washington on their quarterback situation, but depending on the circumstances, 121 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: he might be willing to have a reunion with Cam 122 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: new You know what that means, Marcus. They're on their 123 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: quarterback position, right, I mean, I feel like they are 124 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: certainly going to give Dwayne Haskins every opportunity to be 125 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: that guy. I mean yeah, but I think in terms 126 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: of who's behind him, especially Kyle Allen. Yeah, no, I 127 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: get it. I just I don't. I feel like if 128 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: circumstances were different than I said this on the show 129 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: before and and Cam Newton was available as a free 130 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: agent before they made the trade for Kyle own that 131 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: they would have probably aren't there. The Redskins offensive line 132 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: is very questionable, especially after they traded Trent Williams, who 133 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: was disgruntled and they shipped them off to San Francisco. 134 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: Dwayne Askets can't move back there. I mean he I 135 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: mean he's not Dan Marino. I mobile, but he's not 136 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: the most mobile dude in the world. And if they 137 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: can get I mean, listen, you know run RIVERA doesn't 138 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: want to come in there and rebuild for two or 139 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: three years. I mean, he wants to win games. So 140 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised at the end of the 141 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: day of Cam Newton ended up going there. On a 142 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: very very team friendly deal, but he could say what 143 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: he wants. And I feel like the advantage that Haskins 144 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: has is that there's not gonna be any o t 145 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: A s So you're not gonna be able to see 146 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: him play poorly or play well, whatever the case may be. 147 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 1: And so the Redskins can sort of, you know, throw 148 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: all their money in the Haskins hat and and project 149 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: him to be their starter. But at the end of 150 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: the day, how confident Rivera is in Haskins remains to 151 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: be seen. Yeah, I do think they're they're certainly trying 152 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: to hedge their beds potentially there with If I said, 153 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: here's the thing, I think Kim Newton still has a 154 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: lot left. I mean, if he is healthy, if everything right, 155 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: Kim Newton can still be a very productive quarterback, which 156 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: sort of you know, it's a head scratcher why he's 157 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: still out there. I mean, maybe it is a financial thing. 158 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: For Like I think it's because they don't know how 159 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: healthy he is because they can't do exams on him. 160 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: If that's a big part of it. Yeah, I mean 161 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: I guess so um, Yeah, I guess the combination of that. 162 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: And again, like I don't know what he wants financially. 163 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: If that has an impact on it as well, you'll see. 164 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: But I think I think at some point Cam Newton 165 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: is gonna get a call. Andy Dalton is gonna get 166 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: a call. These guys have done too much in this 167 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: league for too long to not be on a roster somewhere. So, 168 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: and you know, Joe Flacco is still out there too. 169 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is still out There is another one, right, 170 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: I mean I don't know I did Jimmy Joe Flacco 171 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: or whatever, but I mean he's still out there also. 172 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: So there's there's at least three veteran quarterbacks out there 173 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: that teams can pick and choose from if they so 174 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: just hire. Look, I mean when guys like Matt Schob 175 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: can can hang around this league, I mean what, he's 176 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: still on a rock. He's still on the Falcons roster, right. 177 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: I mean if if if Matt Schobb can hang around 178 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: this league, those other guys can find j John Mannion 179 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: has a job, Blame Gabbert has a job, Brian Hoyer 180 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: has a job. A J. McCarron has a job. Nathan 181 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: Pierman has a job, right, I mean the the two 182 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: or three guys we named before that we're all better 183 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: than that. Listen, guys who played in the XFL who 184 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: have jobs. So yeah, um, some sort of bad news 185 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: for our fantasy purposes. Uh. Erica Costa says the Ravens 186 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: want to use all four running backs, So I mean 187 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: we're already sort of trying to figure out what's going 188 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: to happen with J. K. Dobbins and mark Ingram. Now 189 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: you can throw in Justice Hill and Gus Edwards and 190 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: this thing. I mean, if if this is true, Fabs, 191 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: this this is sort of on par with what we 192 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: were worried about with the forty niners this time last 193 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: year when they had all those guys, and we're talking 194 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: about using all four of them. I mean, this makes 195 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: this just a headache beyond belief right now. Yeah, I 196 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: don't know if I buy it. All four guys, Like, Okay, 197 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: what touches are we talking about? Like, you know, if 198 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: if mark Ingram's at and Dobbins is attent and Edwards 199 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: is at me, you know what's So I take that 200 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: kind of that kind of stuff with a grain of salt. 201 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: It's still gonna end up being Ingram and Dobbins at 202 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: the end. Of the day. I mean, they could sprinkle 203 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: in the bus and Justice Hill if they showed, if 204 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: they still desire, But I don't feel like that's going 205 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: to be more than a two headed monster. When we 206 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: talk about percentage of touches in that backfield, it's going 207 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: to be Ingram, and it's gonna be Dobbins, and at 208 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: some point very soon probably it's gonna be a lot 209 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: of Dobbins. I love this. That's that's kind of what 210 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: I think too. I think Dobbins is gonna very quickly 211 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: slide in there and start gobbling up a lot of 212 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: those touches. Um, early on, I expect we'll see quite 213 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: a bit of mark Ingram, but I you know, he's 214 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: not the way of the future there. And that that 215 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore backfield, Um, the Bucks have exercised their option on O. J. Howard, 216 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: so they're gonna keep that tied in there. Which this 217 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: made sense to me. I mean, everbody kept saying once 218 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: they signed Gronk or traded for Bronk rather that they 219 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: were gonna move O. J. Howard, and I just kept 220 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: feeling like, well, Gronk right now is maybe a two 221 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: year option. Um, why not keep yourselves the young ted 222 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: in try to play some twelve personnel, see if you 223 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: can make this work a little bit. So, um, yeah, 224 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: look that the targets are gonna be frustrating I think 225 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: for him, but uh, we at least know that he's 226 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: in an offense where I guess they're potentially are targets. 227 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm trying to look at I'm trying 228 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: to silver lining this thing right now. There's a lot 229 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: of moss of feed in that offense. I mean that 230 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: that's the bottom line. And and last year Tampa Bay's 231 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: most prevalent personnel grouping was the eleven at nearly six. 232 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: They ran the twelve about but they didn't have Robert 233 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: Gronkowski at that time, so you would think that that 234 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: percentage should go up. And now that they've basically, uh 235 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: you know, committed here to O. J. Howard and cam 236 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: Brad is in that mix too, So Tom Brady has 237 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: an embarrassment of riches. I really like Keyshawn Vaughan as 238 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: a potential sleeper. And you have to start thinking to yourself, 239 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: at what point do you start or do you even 240 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: start at all, to maybe drop Mike Evans and Chris 241 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: Godwin A couple of spots at the wide receiver position. 242 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: Is Julio Jones better than those guys? Now? Is Tyreek 243 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: Hill better than those guys? Now? Because there's so many 244 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: players in that offense, are there numbers going to be 245 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: um duplicate herble? Is that a? Is that a word? 246 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: Can they Okay, I just made it up? Can they 247 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: they produced and on a on a points per game basis? Uh? 248 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: Last season? Can they duplicate that in with the added 249 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: weapons in that offense? Yeah? Yeah. Mike Evans is the 250 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: one who worries me the most. I just feel like 251 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: Chris Godwin's sort of jumps in and maybe the the 252 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: comparison to Julian Edelman in terms of what the Brady 253 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: might use him for that sort of thing. So I 254 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: think Godwin's targets will stay fairly steady. I just think 255 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: for for Evans, I think those those deep throws, those 256 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: air yards aren't going to quite be there. And I 257 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: worry about what they do with him around the goal line, 258 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: with Gronk there, with O. J. Howard there, with so 259 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: many of those guys there. Um, you know, Evans is 260 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: the one who worries me, maybe the most. But by 261 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: the way, duplicate herble Absolutely a word. All right, it's 262 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: a word, Eddie. I saw that smile on your face. 263 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: Don't you don't have quite enough letters like in scrabble, 264 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: because like you get seven at a time, so you 265 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: have to being duplicated. Do applicable? All right? Consistent, capable 266 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: of being reproduced, Gideon Sweet Websters give us a sponsorship. 267 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: Trying to teach your kids at home. I'm just helping. Uh. 268 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: In Pittsburgh, g M. Kevin Colbert says the Steelers are 269 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: comfortable with their backup quarterback situation. Okay, now, we just 270 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: had a we just had a long conversation about Andy 271 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: Dalton being released in cam Newton and Joe Flaggo being 272 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: out there. I mean, look, we watched what happened with 273 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges last year, and I don't 274 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: know how you could watch that and say you're comfortable 275 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: with your backup quarterback situation. This this just feels like 276 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: blowing smoke. And I don't know, is this is this 277 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: the Steelers try to feel better about not geting Jamis Winston. 278 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: Is that what this is? I don't know, bro. All 279 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: I know is that denial is not just a River 280 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: in Egypt. Okay, if you watched that team with listen, 281 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: your quarterback his nickname was Duck. That's all you need 282 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: to know. You don't want to have a nickname duck 283 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: when your quarterback. And Roethlisberger has been relatively durable during 284 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: his career, and you know the stories about him being 285 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: a warrior, and he's got injuries and he plays through YadA, YadA, YadA. 286 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: But the dude is thirty seven years old, the only 287 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: played two games last season. And if some situation occurs 288 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: where Rothlisberger has hurt again, Marcus, does that make you 289 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: And I know you're a USC homer, so maybe it's 290 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: not with with with Jiuju, But does that make you 291 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: less likely to draft Steelers? Because in the worst case scenario, 292 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: if Roethlisberger goes down again, they're basically dead in the 293 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: water from a fantasy perspective. And UH projected to be 294 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: very unreliable without him under center. Yeah, no, absolutely. Look, 295 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: and I say, this is the body who drafted Juju 296 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: last year and was like all in thinking that he 297 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: was going to step up in a big way and 298 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: it all fell apart when Roethlisberger went down. And I 299 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: think you know, at this point you mentioned the age 300 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: for for Big Band, the fact that throughout the entirety 301 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: of his career he has dealt with injuries. So as 302 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: he gets older, it just seems more likely that it's 303 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: going to happen again. And and it does make you 304 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: worried about Juju, Deonte Johnson, James Washington, like all those 305 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: guys there. You can't help but be a little bit concerned. 306 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, I think you have to 307 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: start to kind of bake that into their draft value 308 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: just because you don't. You can't you can't predict injuries, 309 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: but you can also sort of you know, read the 310 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: tea leaves a little bit and sort of know how 311 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: things go. Um, So I think I think it is 312 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: wise to sort of proceed with caution when I think 313 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: people need to keep this inne this is uncharted territory 314 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: for everyone, including the players and the coaches with this 315 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: coronavirus pandemic. M. These guys are gonna be in great 316 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: shape once once camps actually can open. I mean Ben Roethlisberger, 317 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: you know you've seen photos of him, Um, you know, 318 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: he kind of looks like Yukon Cornelius from there. At 319 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: this point, at four and you know so right, I mean, 320 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: so like, if there's if there's no O T A S. 321 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Which that's what I would predict, and there's limited training 322 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: camp and maybe it starts late and there's not as 323 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: much time for these guys to get back into football shape. 324 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: Do they become more prone injuries too? Yeah? That is 325 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: that is a very good question. Um, And that's one 326 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: way we we won't know until we actually see it. 327 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's kind of all the rose to 328 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: it out of military At says he intends to return 329 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: for another season, but as the coronavirus continues along, he 330 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: says he's having a hard time working out and rehabbing 331 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: after an injury last year. I mean, I know we 332 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: don't talk kickers a lot, and I certainly would never 333 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: dare to tell somebody else what to do with their 334 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: life and career. Um. I feel like Adam Vinitary though 335 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: after last year sort of uh in fantasy leads gets 336 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: drafted on name value alone and not necessarily because of 337 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: his productivity, because it was it was a rough year 338 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: for him last it was. And I love Vinitary. I 339 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: interviewed him years and years ago when he was with 340 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots for the Italian Sports Hall of Fame, which 341 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: is in Chicago. So uh, I would never besmirch a 342 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: fellow pison, but it might be time to move on. 343 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: It might be time to move on. I mean, we 344 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: thought pickers out there that are still looking for jobs. Yeah, no, 345 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: I mean I thought it was gonna happen midway through 346 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: last season when he missed a string of extra points 347 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: and field goals, and it seemed at one point like 348 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: maybe he was gonna just retire mid season. But I 349 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe he's maybe he really is trying to 350 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: play until he's fifty, Like maybe that's the goal right now. 351 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: So so we'll see. Um, I just saw this on Twitter, 352 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: and I want to get your your thoughts on this, 353 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: FABS as our resident Cowboys fan, and so apparently Ceedee 354 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: Lamb is going to wear number eighty eight, which has 355 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: been previously worn by Michael Irvin, Drew Pearson and does 356 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: Bryant you got somebody who wore eighty eight? Let me 357 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: see if you can remember. Oh I don't. I don't 358 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: know if I can, Uh, Antonio O'Briant. Oh yeah, no, 359 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna come up with that one, remember, that one. 360 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: Apparently he wanted to wear number ten, but Jerry Jones 361 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: is insisting that Lamb wears eight. How do you feel 362 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: about this? I mean, it is it is kind of 363 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: a special number in cowboy history, I know, but but 364 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: it has been for a long time and people keep 365 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: wearing it. So like if, like, if Mike is okay 366 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: with it, then hell let him wear it. I like, 367 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: Drew Pearson was a great cowboy who should be in 368 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. He wore that number. Um you know, 369 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: I mean there there's been there's been some really amazing 370 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: wide receivers who have warned that number throughout the course 371 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: of Cowboys history. And I hope Marcus that uh ceedee 372 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: Lamb is the next one to wear that number and 373 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: be an absolute star. I mean, like that's Bryant, So 374 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: it's to me, it's fine. And if I was okay 375 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: with it, I'm okay with it and seems to be 376 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: okay with it. So basically this this sort of means 377 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: that if you're the Cowboys, you can't really retired that number. 378 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you could if somebody just is 379 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 1: head and shoulders above everybody else, But I mean you're 380 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: talking about between Pearson and Irvin. I mean two next 381 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: level guys. That's Bryant was excellent when he played. Like 382 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: it is weird to me. Yeah, it is weird to 383 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: me because I think about it. Have you seen an eight? 384 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: Have you seen it? Twenty two you've seen. I don't 385 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: know why. I don't know why because Earth was just 386 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: just as important as as the rest of the triplets 387 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys dynasty back in the good old days. 388 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: So all even maybe maybe he's sort of maybe Jerry's 389 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: trying to make a eight. Like college football programs always 390 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: have that they have that one number that like a 391 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: guy wears and you've got to be really special wear 392 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: like at USC wearing fifty five is a big deal. 393 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: William mc ginnis was fifty five. You know, like to 394 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: wear fifty five and play defensive play linebacker USC, like 395 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: you've got to be something next level. So maybe that's 396 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,239 Speaker 1: what what Jerry is trying to do with eight. Eight. Now. 397 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: I always thought it was weird that you know, you 398 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: don't see you don't see Troy, you don't see emmett Um. 399 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: Those numbers are are not going to be worned. But 400 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: but IRV, they maybe maybe IRV told Jerry, I want 401 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: that I want that number to to to sort of, 402 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, live on in Cowboys lure and having these 403 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: great wide receivers wear it. I mean, dees, you know, 404 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: does were it probably did great things with it. Antonio 405 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: Brien not so much. But um, it has been like 406 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: that number where the Cowboys give it to a guy 407 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: who's who's young and projected to potentially be a star 408 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: at the next level. And uh, Ceedee Lamb certainly is 409 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: fitting that category. Well, good luck to Ceedee Lamb. Hopefully 410 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 1: he continues to live up to that standard that has 411 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: been set by the grades who have worn eighty eight 412 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: in the past. And that is pretty much everything you 413 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: need to know, alright, winners and losers from the draft. 414 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: Now that we are past that, that's in the rearview mirror, 415 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: it is time to sort of take stock of rosters, 416 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: see which guys came out on the upswing, which guys 417 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: not so much obviously, it's just let's start with the winners. 418 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: And again FABS wrote a list of guys on both sides, 419 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: winners and losers. You can check it out at NFL 420 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: dot com slash Fabiano. For me, maybe the biggest winner 421 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: in the draft last week was Drew Lock. Uh. They 422 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: went out, they draft several wide receivers, They get kJ Hamler, 423 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: they get Jerry Judy in the first round, they draft 424 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: Albert Oh, Albert Uh, they draft help Mence Like Amar 425 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: would would give us the proper pronunciation, um, but Drew 426 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: Lock wins man. I mean, like the the Broncos belief 427 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: is their quarterback of the future and they are getting 428 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: him the tools to be successful. Like he's got to 429 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: be happy about that. Yeah, dude, it was like Christmas 430 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: man the draft for him. I mean, you get Jerry Judy, 431 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: you get kJ Hamler, Uh, you get Albert Oh, You've 432 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: already got Melvin Gordon, You've already got Cortland Sutton, You've 433 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: already got no a Fan, You've already got the Shawn 434 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: Ham Okay, maybe not, but so Lock, he is gonna 435 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: be one of those nice deep fantasy sleepers that you're 436 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: gonna be able to get in one of the last 437 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: two or three rounds. It's all on him now, Marcus. 438 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: It really is, because Elway has put him in a 439 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: in a perfect position to succeed. If the Broncos offense 440 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: doesn't click well, then the Elie maybe trying to pick 441 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: up the Cam Newton, you know, if he's not already 442 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: scooped up. So Drew Block is in a really good 443 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: spot to succeed. I'm not gonna tell you he's gonna 444 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: come out there, uh and be an elite fantasy quarterback, 445 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: but he showed some flashes last year, and he's in 446 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: a position to be useful from a fantasy perspective. I mean, 447 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: I want to say that I like him as a sleeper, 448 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: but it always comes back to quarterback being so deep 449 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: that it really is hard to Yeah, kind of kicked 450 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: down that door a little bit. I mean, is there 451 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: Look if if everything goes right for him this year, 452 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: can he get to the top twelve, top ten? Is 453 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: that possible? No, there's too many good quarterbacks out there. Man. 454 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: I like, but but also like, I mean, that doesn't 455 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: mean that he can't be useful. I mean, look at 456 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks just scored well over to inter fantasy 457 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: points last season. So so he'll he'll be useful. Uh, 458 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a matchup based starter. But we still 459 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: don't know a whole heck on a lot about Drew Lock. 460 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: He did play a little bit last year, very small 461 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: sample size. So the jury is still out. Yeah. Uh, 462 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: let's stay with the quarterback theme, right the Raiders quarterback, 463 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: whomever it may be. Uh, presumably it's going to be 464 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: Derek Carr right now, but Marcus Mariotta is there can 465 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: certainly challenge for that job, whoever it is. I mean, again, 466 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: the Raiders were another team that went out and they 467 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: loaded up on pass catchers. It was a weakness last year, 468 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: especially after the Antonio Brown debacle happened. Me. So they 469 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: go out and they get Henry Ruggs, They add Linn 470 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: Bowden from Kentucky, they get Brian Edwards from South Carolina. Again, 471 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: you pair them all with Darren Waller. You've got Tyrelle Williams, 472 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: who's sort of in there and now battling. I guess 473 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: it looks like for snaps and and targets potentially. But 474 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: whoever the Raiders quarterback is going to be again, they're 475 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: going to have options. Does this make you feel better 476 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: about one or the other of those guys this year? No, 477 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that either one's gonna get drafted in 478 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: like a standard ten team league because it's just so 479 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: many good quarterbacks. But I mean, you add Rugs you 480 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: add Edwards, you add uh Lynn Lynn Bowden, and I 481 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: mean you've already got like you said Williams, You've got 482 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: Darren Waller, You've got Hunter renfrow Um. There's there's a 483 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: ton of weapons there. Derek Carr was thirtieth in the 484 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: league last season among quarterbacks and throws over twenty yards. 485 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: That needs to change Marcus if he can't get downfield. 486 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: And let's keep in mind his last to most reliable 487 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: and most popular receivers were tight ends, while Jared Cook 488 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: that's not a coincidence. He needs to go downfield. If 489 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't go down field, they're gonna bring Marcus Mariota 490 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: in there. And I don't know how much better that's 491 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: gonna be for the Raiders, but in terms of what 492 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: they added, the pieces are in place. Full those quarterbacks 493 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: to put up some decent numbers, even though they're not 494 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: going to be super significant from a fantasy perspective. Yeah, 495 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: I think that's that's gonna be kind of the like 496 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: you look at it and I just wonder, like what 497 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: what happens? Like you get these guys who can stretch 498 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: the field, who can be burners, and now you're just 499 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna have quarterbacks that that throw checked downs. That's why, 500 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: that's why Rugs. I mean, as much as I love 501 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: and it's a weird fit, it's a weird right. I mean, 502 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: like Cebe Lamb would have been. Not that I'm complaining, 503 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: you know how about them Cowboys, but like it's just 504 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: it's just strange fit. It's not like they have Jeff 505 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: George back there, and any millennials who don't know Jeff 506 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: George go back and look him up. He never really 507 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: materialized in the NFL, but that dude had an absolute 508 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: pink yeah hose, yeah, yes, yeah. Um, so I don't know. 509 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: I always go back to Daniel Jeremiah's tweet I think 510 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: from last season that you know, basically Jamis Winston shoots 511 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: too many threes and Marcus Mariana Ships shoots too many layers. 512 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Yeah. So so that's that's what always just 513 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: sticks with me. Um, Todd Gurley comes out clean. I mean, 514 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: we thought that the Falcons were going to at some 515 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: point draft of running back. Um, you know, they've got 516 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: Girly there one on a one year deal, so you 517 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: figured they're gonna start at least kicking the tires on 518 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: guys seeing what's down the road there. They don't, So 519 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 1: they're gonna go into the season at least right now 520 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: with Todd Gurley. I mean behind him, they've got Edo Smith, Quadrillison, 521 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: Brian Hill in some order there. But yeah, this is 522 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: this is a huge win for Todd Gurley knowing that 523 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: he doesn't really have to look over his shoulder for 524 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: anybody to compete with touches now. And Girley has got 525 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: a lot to prove this year too, because as you mentioned, 526 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: he's signed singing for his supper. If he can go 527 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: out there and play and prove that he's healthy, uh, 528 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: you know, at some high level, then he has the 529 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: potential to potentially get a more lucrative contract, uh in 530 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: his age six season because he's only twenty five years old. 531 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: He's not an old dude. He just got older knees 532 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: and this has helped his value without the question. He 533 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: not that he's going to be back to being like 534 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: an elite RB one like he was a couple of 535 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: seasons ago, but I feel more comfortable drafting him as 536 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: an RB two because I know the touches are gonna 537 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: be there. I know he's got a lot of help 538 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: on the offensive, side of the football. Good luck trying 539 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: to stack the box again the box against Todd Gurley 540 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: UH and Matt Ryan because Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley 541 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: will will will scorch your shorts. So it's a good 542 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: it's a good sign that Girly is going to be 543 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: uh a featured back. And you know you've mentioned this 544 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: before to Marcus. Hopefully he's going to catch more balls 545 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,719 Speaker 1: out of the backfield in that offense to Yeah, I mean, 546 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: that's that's sort of my big wish for him, and 547 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: that he gets more targets. That was uh surprisingly shockingly 548 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: absent from his game last year. So we'll see if 549 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: he's us is back there. Leonard Fournett, which I think 550 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: it's I think I think he does win and maybe 551 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: in a weird way he wins because you know, in 552 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: most of the situations, teams are looking to move running backs. 553 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: You're trying to get cheaper and younger at the running 554 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: back position, and the Jaguars seemed like they're sort of 555 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: fed up with Leonard Fournett, Like you hear all these 556 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: stories about him showing up late meetings and his maturity 557 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: and just not being prepared. But no one wants to 558 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: trade for his contract. No one wants to add, you know, 559 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: a running back that you have to load up with touches. 560 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: And at the same time, Jacksonville doesn't go out and 561 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: draft anybody to put behind him or to compete with him. 562 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: So like this is a case where sort of being 563 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: a running back that has like big salary demands weirdly 564 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: worked out in his favor, right, I mean, he's gonna 565 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: be the guy, assuming he wants to remain in Jacksonville, 566 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: which I'm sure at this point if you go through 567 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: his Twitter timeline, he's probably you know, said a few 568 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: things that maybe would suggest he doesn't want to be. 569 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: But where the hell's he gonna go, Marcus, And he's 570 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna go No. One. And and I love running backs, 571 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: God bless him. Uh Christian McCaffrey, I'm so happy he 572 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: got paid. But that's the plight of running backs in 573 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: the National Football League. A lot of teams think they 574 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: are replaceable. And so for net Hey, if he's smart, Marcus, 575 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna put his head down, he's gonna he's gonna 576 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: phase out the noise, and he's gonna kick butt on 577 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: the gridiron and prove that he's worth a lucrative deal 578 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: and that he's not a headache. That's what he needs 579 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: to do. Whether or not he does it is a 580 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: different question, but he's he's he's a high RB two 581 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: in fantasy because the touches are gonna be there. I 582 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: feel like the receptions are going to decline, but hopefully 583 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: the touchdowns goes up. He only had three last season, 584 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: so I would think he's definitely gonna see an increase 585 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: in touchdown So if you can get that number to 586 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: maybe eight and keep the receptions in the you know, 587 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: dropped from dropping significantly. I mean, he had seventy six 588 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: last year, So if he can keep that in the 589 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: in the fifties, that's that's pretty that's pretty decent p 590 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: auction there. Yeah, And you know it's funny I I 591 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: got I drafted Leonard for net in a lot of 592 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: leagues in like the third round. He kind of fell 593 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: to me, and I was sort of like, and for 594 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: the most part was fine, Like the touchdown number was 595 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: certainly less than than what you would have wanted, but 596 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: he got plenty of opportunity, and so I ended up 597 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: being actually an okay picked for where I got him 598 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: in most drafts um. Speaking of the rafts, I I 599 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,239 Speaker 1: just finished a dynasty kind of startup draft, and as 600 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: I got into the later rounds, I saw Raheem Moster 601 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: sitting there and yeah, this was before the NFL Draft happened. 602 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: So I drafted him, figuring he's going to be the 603 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: guy that probably gets the bulk of the touches in 604 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: the Niner running game that this coming season. Then go 605 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: and behold and I just just go out and they 606 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: trade Matt Brito away to the Miami Dolphins, and suddenly 607 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: that pick looks even better. I feel so much better 608 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: about my Rahee most have picked. Yes, I know Jeff 609 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: Wilson is still there. Jack McKinnon right now is still there, 610 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: and talk that he's going to be the passing game, 611 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: passing down back, but facts, I mean, if you're picking 612 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: a forty nine er back where he most of it 613 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: seems like he's the choice right now. Yeah, no question 614 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: about that. And he took that featured job last year 615 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: and and you know, literally ran with it. He was 616 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: very good. Uh. Kyle Shanahan said, Hey, man, he Mosted 617 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: has proven that he can be the top guy. And 618 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: I think part of the reason why they parted ways 619 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: with with Matt Bride's because they know McKennon is going 620 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: to be back. They didn't have four running backs um 621 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: that they could potentially use, and most are I'd rather 622 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: get him as a high flex, But if you get 623 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: him as a lot too, I think that's that's probably 624 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: where he's going to end up landing. Because how many 625 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: times have we said it, running backs in that Shanahan 626 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: system can really thrive. Shanahan made Carlos Hide a fantasy stud. Okay, 627 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: let's remember that catches that year. So um mo, Hoster's 628 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: in a good spot to succeed. Yeah, no doubt. The 629 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: last couple of winners here, a pair of tight ends, 630 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: one who is moving, one who is staying put Hayden Hurst, 631 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: who I love, the guy loved this talent. When he 632 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: was drafted. He just went to the Ravens, who always 633 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: have a revolving doors pick too. Yeah. Yeah, he just 634 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: never he never got I don't say he got the opportunity, 635 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: but he was just such in a such a crowded 636 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: tight end room all the time. They're in Baltimore. Now 637 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: he goes to Atlanta, where he is the guy takes 638 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: over frosted Hooper who went to Cleveland, so there's opportunity 639 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: for him there. Mike Gasicki stays in Miami, but facts 640 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: they started to sort of de emphasize him as a 641 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: blocker and make him more of a route runner as 642 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: the season went on last year. And look, in a 643 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: world where we are thirsty for tight ends all of 644 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: the time, having two guys now in larger roles with 645 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: potentially more target share, that is super exciting right now. 646 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: It is is one of my favorite sleeper tight ends. 647 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: And I knew I was gonna be talking about him 648 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: towards the end of last season when he started to 649 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: put up some numbers and he started a flash and 650 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: people were actually starting him with a little bit more confidence. 651 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: And the Dolphins had a really good draft, right, I mean, 652 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,479 Speaker 1: they bolted the offensive line for Fitzpatrick slash to uh uh, 653 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: they traded for Brita and one thing that they didn't 654 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: do is they didn't take a single pass catcher until 655 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: the last round, and that was Navy's Malcolm Perry. So 656 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: Yasicki's his path to targets and potentially being a really 657 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: nice fantasy option. Uh, that path is clear. So he's 658 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: on that border line of tight end one, tight end 659 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: two in my rankings. Yeah, um, you know. I mean, look, 660 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: it's still a situation where I think you get the 661 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: top three or four guys, and you've got your Kelsey's, 662 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 1: your Kittles, you throw on Earth's me to Mark Andrews 663 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: in there, um and then you know there's sort of 664 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: a mishmash. But I think getting guys like Hurst and 665 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: GASSICKI at the end of your draft has a lot 666 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: more reward than risk potentially attached the other So, uh, 667 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: all right, So the losers, the guys who are probably 668 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: not feeling so great about their situations after the draft. 669 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: And we talked a little bit about Aaron Rodgers earlier 670 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: in the week, but I just think we have to 671 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: revisit this, right because the one thing that we all 672 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: just knew the Packers were going to do in this draft, 673 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: let's get a wide receiver. We just knew it. Like 674 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: they didn't have a choice. We watched them, you know, 675 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: try to figure out how to make it work with 676 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 1: Marcus Valdes Scantling and Geronimo Allison and you know, Alan 677 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: Lazard and Equanimius st. Brown and you know you name it. Uh, 678 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: And I just didn't work. But they don't draft a 679 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver at all. Instead, they get a backup quarterback, 680 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: they get a running back, they get like a blocking 681 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: tight end. Um. I I moved Aaron Rodgers out of 682 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: my top ten quarterbacks this year. I mean, my, my, 683 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: my overthinking this? Am I overreacting? I don't think so. 684 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: He's borderline QB one QB two right now? Which which sticks? Uh? 685 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: If the if we look at what the Packers did 686 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: in the draft, and that is supposed to be sort 687 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: of a window into what they're going to do offensively, 688 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 1: what is it? What do you learn, Marcus? They're gonna 689 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 1: run the ball? You know? I mean they drafted A. J. Dillon. 690 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: It's good news for Alan Lazard. His value certainly goes up. 691 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: But the Packers were in a spot where they could 692 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: make Rogers great again, and unfortunately they did not do that. 693 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: They drafted his backup and I would not be shocked. 694 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: And I heard that Brett Farbe said this as well. 695 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is not going to finish his career in 696 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: Green Bay. It's not gonna happen. He's probably gonna end 697 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: up in New England. They're going another Super Bowl, right 698 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: I mean that that that would be such a paid 699 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: Look at look at Eddie. Look at Eddie. It's like, no, no, 700 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 1: do that. But Rogers is not gonna finish his career. 701 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: How can he be happy with this? Marcus? Okay, they 702 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,439 Speaker 1: they draft Jordan's love and they don't give him any 703 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: help in the passing game at all, nothing, And they 704 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,399 Speaker 1: draft a running back when there they have two good ones. 705 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: And I get it, they're both free agents at the 706 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: end of but still listen this. The Packers made some 707 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: weird decisions. The Bears made some weird decisions, and unfortunately, 708 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: Rogers's value is gonna stay stagnant from a fantasy standpoint, 709 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, they're they're they're likely guys who 710 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: are gonna move up and past him. Yeah, I just 711 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, I wonder if if you could, if he 712 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: would be candid, just privately, I mean, as frustrated as 713 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: he was at the end of the Mike McCarthy era 714 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: in Green Bay, Uh, would he would he maybe go 715 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: back because it seems like the Cowboys don't need him. 716 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, but I mean going back to that era. Yeah, 717 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 1: you know, Flour's you know, he's gonna the floor. He's 718 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: gonna do his things. You know, be careful what you 719 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: wish for, because sometimes it comes back to bite you. True. 720 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: The rest of the guys on the downside, I just 721 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: have a string of running backs. Uh let's start with 722 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 1: Let's just start with Marlon Mack in Indianapolis, a guy 723 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: who I really liked, I thought could be I thought 724 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: last year could be a breakout season for him. And 725 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: they just they had a lot of things sort of 726 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: go wrong in the Colt's offense, namely injuries to their 727 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 1: wide receivers, a quarterback in Jack bi Brissette who just 728 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: doesn't push the ball down field. Matt got hurt a 729 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: little bit himself. Now they go out to get Jonathan Taylor. 730 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: I don't think Marlon Matt goes away completely fabs, but 731 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: I also think he is gonna have to fight really 732 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: hard to try to be a starter now with Jonathan 733 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: Taylor being on the rust. Yeah, I can't see I 734 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: can't see him being the starter. The Colt said, didn't 735 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: move up to get Taylor to keep him behind Mac 736 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: on the debt, try to mean maybe initially that will happen, 737 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: but at some point that the talent's going to sort 738 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: of uh see through in the in the creaminal rise 739 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: to the to the top there. So Mac right now 740 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: is more of an R before Jonathan Taylor's inn RB 741 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,959 Speaker 1: two with running backs A lot of time you draft 742 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: on that potential in that upside, the offensive line is tremendous. 743 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: So Taylor ended up in a really good spot long term. 744 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: This season, there may be some question marks in terms 745 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: of how how many consistent touches he gets per game 746 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: because Macki is in the mix, and don't forget about 747 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: he behinds as well. But Mac went from a borderline 748 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: RB two to back up in fantasy. Yeah, yeah, I 749 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: mean I think that's that's sort of the thing. And 750 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned Naheim Hines. I mean, if he keeps his 751 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 1: role as the pass catcher, then that makes it even 752 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: more difficult. Um. You know, if if it's a situation 753 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: where the Cults are playing from behind or in a 754 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: hurry up offense, then that that diminishes Max uh snaps 755 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: even more so. Uh, it is. It is a worrisome trend. 756 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 1: Similarly in Detroit, Carrie on Johnson, Uh, you know, look, 757 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: he's he's had his injury issues his first couple of 758 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: years in the league, and now the Lions go out 759 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: and get DeAndre Swift, and that, to me, FABS just 760 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: seemed like a signal that the Lions, their patients has 761 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: warm thin with sitting on kerry On Johnson and they 762 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: are ready to make a big step. And and this 763 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: is another one where I find it hard to think 764 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: carry On Johnson is really going to be the starter 765 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: come Week one for this team. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Uh. 766 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: He's still only twenty two years old too, But I 767 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: mean eighteen games in two years, he's not durable. He 768 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,879 Speaker 1: averaged three point six yards per rush last year. That's 769 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: not good. And listen, I mean nothing on carry On, 770 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 1: But like Deandero, Swift is just a better back. Detroit didn't. 771 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: Detroit didn't draft him to put him behind carry On Johnson. 772 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna use him. He's gonna end up 773 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: being the starter. He'll lead that team in backfield touches 774 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: and he'll lead that He'll lead that backfield and fantasy 775 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: points too. I was in a draft with some serious 776 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: x M folks. I ended up getting him in the 777 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,439 Speaker 1: fifth round. It's a twelve team league, and I feel 778 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: like that's probably where Deando Ray Swift is gonna end 779 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: up fifth or sixth round, where Carrie on Johnson will 780 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: be dragging behind and and not get drafted probably until 781 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: the middle to late rounds. Yeah. Um, so, I mean, 782 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: just it. I think it kind of caught at least 783 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: it caught me by surprise because I didn't think either 784 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: of those teams were gonna necessarily be in the market 785 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: for one of those top running backs. I mean I 786 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: thought maybe you could see one of them go to Tampa. Um, 787 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, I just didn't think that that Indie or 788 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 1: Detroit would be you know, making a draft went like 789 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: that market. I mean, like you know, Baltimore took a 790 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: running back and we were all like what the Atlanta didn't, 791 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 1: I mean, and the Packers took a running back this draft. 792 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: It was really weird if you're looking at it through 793 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: that fantasy lens. Yeah. Well, speaking of the Ravens taking 794 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,359 Speaker 1: a running back, I mean, mark ingram ends up. Uh, 795 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: you know, he just has to be frustrated, right, I Mean, 796 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: this is the guy who's been when he's been given 797 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: the opportunity, has been productive, but he has always had 798 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: to battle for snaps, for touches whatever. When it was 799 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, all those years in in New Orleans, even 800 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: before Alvin Kamara came, mark Ingram was always sort of, 801 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, in the background, trying to fight for touches 802 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: and camericame me and he had to split time there. 803 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: Now he goes to Baltimore, looks like he is kind 804 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: of ready to be the guy alongside the Lamar Jackson 805 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: in the backfield. And then the Ravens go out and 806 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: get j K. Dobbins and so, you know, I guess 807 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: mark Ingram is used to having to fight for snaps 808 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: and compete and that sort of thing. But it was 809 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: sort of nice, you know, FABS having a sense of 810 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: clarity in that back field that now seems to be gone. Yeah, 811 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: it is um and I love that fit for Ingram 812 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: last season. But now j K. Dobbin is going to 813 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,280 Speaker 1: be the running back of the future, a really strong 814 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 1: dynasty pick. A guy who uh, you know, was among 815 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: the best in terms of yards after contact last season 816 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: in college. If you look at the numbers on PFF, 817 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: he's he's a playmaker. He's an inside runner, he can 818 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: catch the ball out of the backfield, so he's an 819 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: all around back. I don't like to fit this year, 820 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: but long term j. K. Dobbins is going to be 821 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: a Fantasy star, and now you you you have to 822 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: downgrade Ingram from a really nice RV two two more 823 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: of a flex starter where the week to week production 824 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 1: Marcus might really depend on whether or not he gets 825 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,879 Speaker 1: into the end zone, right, I mean that that really 826 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: is the thing. Well, and the frustrating part about that 827 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: was that Lamar Jackson took so many of those rushing 828 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: touchdowns last year that already made it difficult when they 829 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: would get close, uh Jackson a lot of times to 830 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: just keep it and he would score himself. So you know, 831 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 1: if if now you've got Bobbins taking away some of 832 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: those other touches too, this gets really hard to produce 833 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: act um, and I think I think in the short 834 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: term it's gonna be something where all of those guys 835 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: are going to be frustrating until Baltimore decides to mega move, 836 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: and likely that means mark Ingram is not gonna be there. 837 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: So um, I want Devin Singletary to be great. I 838 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 1: want him to get all the fuctors. I thought maybe 839 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: it could might happen, but now the Bills go out 840 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: and they draft Zack Moss, who look I don't want 841 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: to say he's gonna take over the Frank Gore role, 842 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: but I mean he is that guy who probably gets 843 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: those goal line touches when Josh Allen isn't the one 844 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 1: running them in. So now Devin Singletary again, faz becomes 845 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: a guy that it's hard to count on him as 846 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: an RB two or anything because you just did the 847 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: touchdown upside is completely gone again, it is, And it 848 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: stinks because Singletary is a good back and he was 849 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 1: really his roles. I don't know it's going to change 850 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: significantly because if you look at the second half of 851 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 1: last year, he was basically the guy. But as you mentioned, 852 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: like once they get down into the red zone, it's 853 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: Josh Allen at that point, it was Frank Gore. And 854 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: and what is Zack Moss's strength? That dude is a 855 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: tackle breaking machine in a yards after contact machine. Last 856 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: year among FBS running backs, he was eighth in yards 857 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: after contact so and there, I mean, there's a lot 858 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: of running backs, man, and he was eight. So A. J. 859 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: Dillon was six, by the way, and Dobbins was fourth, 860 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor third, So keep that in mind as well. 861 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:30,399 Speaker 1: But Moss puts a dent into Singletary's value without question. Yeah, 862 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: that's not a death blow, but the death blow it's 863 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: that right, Yeah. I mean I wanted Devin Singletary to 864 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,760 Speaker 1: sort of follow the same trajectory as Miles Sanders, because 865 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,800 Speaker 1: like in Philly, all signs point towards Sanders getting a 866 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: larger workload, and we we sort of saw it at 867 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: the end of last year. Um. You know, Jordan Howard 868 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: now being in in Miami definitely helps and I kind 869 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: of wanted Singletary to follow the same path, but it 870 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: just doesn't look like that's gonna work out in Buffalo. 871 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: Um in Los Angeles. Uh, you know, we've seen the 872 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: jump on and off the Darryl Henderson hype train. At 873 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: everybody's off it now, Bro, everybody's off now. Right at 874 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: the start of last year, all the talk about Todd 875 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,759 Speaker 1: Gurley and his arthritic knees, and everybody jumped on the 876 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 1: Henderson bandwagon. Obviously that didn't really work out. But then 877 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,760 Speaker 1: Gurley leaves, so we we get back on it again, 878 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: and now cam Akers shows up in town and that 879 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 1: train is emptying out. I mean, Henderson goes back to 880 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 1: what being a later round kind of depth add at 881 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,320 Speaker 1: this point on most fantasy rosters. Yeah, dude, Acres, he 882 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: could be a three down back. I mean, I believe 883 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,800 Speaker 1: he had what was it twenty eight catches in his 884 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: final season there at Florida State. He uh he averaged 885 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: around five yards and carry behind a crappy offensive line, 886 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 1: and dude, they drafted him. I feel like he's the 887 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: number one guy, uh twelfth among FBS running backs last 888 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: year in yards after contact. Henderson is gonna have a role. 889 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,760 Speaker 1: But let this be a minder that there's no proven, 890 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: guaranteed way to project players because last year the two 891 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: biggest I feel like, the two biggest twitter uh college 892 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 1: players coming out that everyone was in love with was 893 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: Henderson and he Kim Butler and Game. Butler has disappeared 894 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: off the face of the earth. And Darrell Henderson did 895 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: not come in and put a dent into girlies touches 896 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,439 Speaker 1: last year, and now that girl has gone. The Rams 897 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,280 Speaker 1: did not have enough faith in him as a starter 898 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 1: uh two avoid drafting or running back, and they did, 899 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 1: and Cam Akers is going to be the guy there 900 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: in l a souder rather than later. Yeah, I just 901 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: I wonder if the Rams have kind of gotten over 902 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 1: having a workhorse back because even even though girly he 903 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,439 Speaker 1: didn't catch many passes, but he was still primarily the guy. 904 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,399 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he he did most of the work. 905 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: I wonder if they if they are going to continue 906 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 1: that trend or if they do start to work somebody in. Um, again, 907 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 1: questions that we can't answer until we see them. I mean, 908 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 1: we're not gonna have at least we're not gonna have 909 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 1: anythink a normal training camp or anything like that, So 910 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 1: we're not we're not gonna really know the answer to these, um. 911 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,320 Speaker 1: I guess, by the way, and and this is you know, 912 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 1: obviously a larger philosophical question that I know you don't 913 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: know the answer to, but I'm gonna ask you anyway. Um, 914 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: I mean like preseason games, training camps, how when where 915 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,399 Speaker 1: I mean do they I don't. I know I'm sort 916 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: of babbling here, but I mean, these are all things 917 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 1: that you know, whenever the season starts, you're not just 918 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: gonna jump in and start playing games week one. I mean, 919 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 1: guys have to be able to ramp up, and I 920 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: think they have to have some sort of snaps in 921 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 1: some sort of you know, preseason work. Um how I mean, 922 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: I know that's you know, above our pay grade, but 923 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 1: it's just something rolling around in my brain right now. Yeah. Um, 924 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,840 Speaker 1: my guess is that they're gonna be hard pressed to 925 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: start the season on time, as much as they might 926 00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 1: want to. And there there has to be on a 927 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: sort of language in the c b A where you know, 928 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 1: NFL teams just can't expect players to come right in 929 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 1: and start playing football games. There's got to be some 930 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 1: sort of training camp period. There's got to be maybe 931 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,320 Speaker 1: it's a shortened preseason. But my guess is that the 932 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 1: season will not start on time, and that you will 933 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: you will see football, and you will see a sixteen 934 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,400 Speaker 1: game schedule. You will see it in front of no fans. 935 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: It will be for television only. God forbid anybody test 936 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 1: positive for the coronavirus, because that would potentially be disastrous. 937 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that. I don't know that there's gonna 938 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 1: be college football. There's gonna be baseball. Hopefully baseball can 939 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: help the other sports with a model that works, because 940 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna get the first crack at it, I think. 941 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the status of the 942 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 1: NBA playoffs is at this point. I don't know that 943 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: they're going to have that. I'm sure Mark Cuban uh 944 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: and the owners certainly want to have that, and they're 945 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: gonna push for it. Maybe they will attempt it. But 946 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,840 Speaker 1: these other sports hopefully are gonna give the NFL a 947 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 1: model in terms of how to succeed or fail, to 948 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 1: be honest with you, uh in in this in this 949 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: COVID world that we're living in right now. So my 950 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: guests would be that with no O T A. S All, 951 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,479 Speaker 1: the players are already going to be behind. They're gonna 952 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 1: be behind in terms of you know, getting rapports with 953 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: their teammates, getting back into football shape, maybe getting into 954 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:20,359 Speaker 1: shape regardless, and for their protection and for their health 955 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 1: and for the safety of the players, and really for 956 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: for the for the health of the league, you don't 957 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 1: want you don't want the league throughout an awful product 958 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: out there because half of these guys through out of 959 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: shape and and have it played with each other. So 960 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,919 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some kind of training camp, there's gonna 961 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: be some kind of preseason, maybe short preseason. But my 962 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,720 Speaker 1: guess would be that you know, we're looking at football 963 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: starting a little bit later than we're used to. Yeah, 964 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: and I think I think that's kind of a consensus. 965 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:44,799 Speaker 1: And I said, there are, there are a whole lot 966 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: of logistics that again, people who get paid a hell 967 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 1: of a lot more than I do are in charge 968 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,239 Speaker 1: of figuring out. But well, we should get it. We 969 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 1: should get a look at what they're planning with the 970 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 1: schedule of release, which is supposed to have when I 971 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,839 Speaker 1: believe May ninth, although I've heard and out there too, 972 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 1: sometime in the next week. Basically where I'm going into 973 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: about about a week or so from now is when 974 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,600 Speaker 1: we're thinking schedule release may happen. Um, so we'll we'll 975 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,239 Speaker 1: get a better idea. I mean, we don't. Yeah, we 976 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,879 Speaker 1: know the opponents, we just don't know, right, we don't 977 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: know the order and is the NFL also is there 978 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 1: a contingency schedule to where it's just East coast teams 979 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,280 Speaker 1: against East coast teams and you know, country the country 980 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 1: sort of from the three quadrants like baseball? Did I 981 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 1: don't know from from what I have read, Um, you 982 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 1: know there is apparently the schedule has been built so 983 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 1: that you know, in worst case scenario, it can be collapsed. Uh, 984 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 1: it could be set up to uh, you know, kind 985 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 1: of adjust for whatever the conditions on the ground are, 986 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: so to speak. So um, you know, like we'll all 987 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: we'll all find out together when the schedule gets released, 988 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 1: so we'll we'll see um any other big winners losers 989 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 1: that we didn't get to. Uh, I know you again, 990 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: Folks want to check it out, go to NFL dot 991 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 1: com slash pa piano. But anybody there that jumps out 992 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: that we didn't mention in the last five minutes, Well 993 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 1: we did mention Aaron Jones. And I don't know that 994 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 1: he's a significant loser, but I feel like from a 995 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,759 Speaker 1: long term perspective, I still see him as a late 996 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,759 Speaker 1: first round pick. Um. I don't know that I would 997 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: draft him before that, but there's a chance that A J. 998 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,640 Speaker 1: Dillon could get some of those goalne opportunities, and regression 999 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: is coming from Aaron Jones, and maybe regression comes in 1000 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,800 Speaker 1: the form of Aaron Jones. Uh in a J. Dillon 1001 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,760 Speaker 1: at least somewhat. I mean, Courtland Sutton saw his value 1002 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: decrease a little bit. I still like him as a 1003 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,239 Speaker 1: wide receiver too, but you draft two wide receivers with 1004 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 1: their first two picks, that's gonna be uh. Potentially an 1005 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: indicator that maybe the target chair is not going to 1006 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 1: be as high as we thought. I think Darren Waller 1007 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 1: loses just a bit because the readers did add a 1008 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,800 Speaker 1: whole lot of pass catching options to that offense. Although 1009 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,319 Speaker 1: if Derek carr and or Marcus Mariotta do not want 1010 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 1: to go deep, and I hell Maya will go nuts 1011 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: if they don't go deep. Mayap will absolutely flip his 1012 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 1: lid if they don't go deep. I think Waller could see, 1013 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 1: uh a little bit of a decline in terms of 1014 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 1: his targets. Chris Carson uh didn't lose value because the 1015 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,839 Speaker 1: Seahawks drafted DJ Dallas and that's it. They didn't draft 1016 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,799 Speaker 1: the running back, so hopefully he's gonna be okay. James 1017 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: Connor also seems like his value is safe right now. 1018 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,879 Speaker 1: Anthony mccarline is more of a change of pace back, 1019 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 1: so not going to really affect him, and Daniel Jones 1020 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: don't forget about him. My favorite quarterback sleeper for the 1021 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 1: Giants took Andrew Thomas with the number four overall pick. 1022 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 1: They took Matt part out of Yukon in round three. Uh, 1023 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 1: they took Shane Lemieux, which is gonna be Lemieux is 1024 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,879 Speaker 1: that the has there ever been a football player Lemieu? 1025 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't believe so, maybe there has been. 1026 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. But they took him out of Oregon 1027 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: and around five. So look at Eddie. Oh, he loves it. 1028 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: He loves it. Daniel Jones, whether he's got the protection 1029 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: in front of him to uh, to meet expectations now 1030 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 1: when we already know he has a talent around him 1031 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,239 Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah. Um, so all right, I'm sure 1032 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,359 Speaker 1: as this thing goes along and we kicked these around 1033 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:58,920 Speaker 1: some more, we'll have some guys that we feel like 1034 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 1: we're moving up and moving down because look, we're in 1035 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 1: late April. Things are kind of just getting started with 1036 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:05,839 Speaker 1: our summer and we'll have plenty to you know, talk 1037 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: about even if we have to make it up. So um, 1038 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: that will do it. That is it. We are done. 1039 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: We appreciate you listening and downloading and watching as well. 1040 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: You know the draill tell to your friends to tell 1041 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 1: out to your friends right review and remember a computer 1042 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: might beat you at chess, but it's no match for 1043 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 1: you in kickboxing.
