It's being your Man, NAMG Marcus 4 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: Grant joined by Michael F. Floyo, and we're back in 5 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: studio today. I have specialists over on the other side. 6 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: You guys say like, clap, Yeah, we got Ryan, we 7 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: got Cynthia hanging out with us like it's it's like 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: old times again. I know they've been trying to keep 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: us out of our lounge, right, we would not be denied. 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: You know, we had a nice little lounge set up here. 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure for those of you who watched the streaming 12 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: show you see in our little setup. And then the 13 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: folks at l Huddle who look all all respect mj Acosta, 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: Ruiz will Selva, we love them, but they sort of 15 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: they were homesteading in our spot. They were squatting in 16 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: our spot for a few weeks. So we have kindly 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: asked to get it back. So we're back here, back 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: in our own spot. So I feel like the energy 19 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: is different. I'm glad to be back in one spot again. Um, 20 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: we got a lot to talk about because there's a 21 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: lot happening. M The combine is happening in Indianapolis. We 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: are not there. That's fine. We'll probably talk more about 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: the combine next week after it's done. I feel like 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: there's not a lot to preview. Yeah, I've seen people 25 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: like trying to preview it, and it's like, Okay, people 26 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: are gonna go out there in shorts and they're gonna 27 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: do these exercises. That's your preview. It is, it's it's 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: it's the preview is how tall is this guy, how 29 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: much does he weigh, how long are is arms? How 30 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: fast does he run. It's all useful, very useful information. 31 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: But until we have it exactly really do anything that's 32 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: exactly right. So I figure once we get to next 33 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: week we have this information, then we can sort of 34 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: talk about what this means in the big picture. But 35 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: we will talk some running backs. We'll talk some free 36 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: agent running backs because we are officially two weeks away 37 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: from the start of free agency, so we'll talk running 38 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: backs today. We'll talk pass catchers, wide receivers, tight ends 39 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: next week to get us ready for free agency, and 40 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: Florio's Film Festival continues with Speed from nineteen ninety four. 41 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: So we'll dive into that at the end of the show, 42 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: but let's start with the running backs here, because this 43 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: is a really deep group. I feel like it's sort 44 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: of top heavy, but there's a lot of names that 45 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: very well could change places and really sort of change 46 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: the way we kind of come at the running back 47 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: position in fantasy. So I broke it down in the 48 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 1: kind of three groups. You got Tier one, Tier two, 49 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: and then just kind of everybody else. Tier one. I 50 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: put three guys there, put Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, and 51 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: I put Tony Pollard in the list because I feel 52 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: like these are the three guys that are probably going 53 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: to command the biggest contracts out on the free agent market. 54 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: So when you look at them, Barkley, Jacob's Pollard, what 55 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: order do you put them in? Like, like just for 56 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: next season, I put it as in that order that 57 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: you said, Saquan, Josh Jacob's, Tony Pollard. But if you're 58 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: thinking long term, I have the most concerned about Saquon Barkley. 59 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: He's obviously dealt with the most injuries, He's got the 60 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: most wear and tear on his tires there, But that's why. 61 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: I think he's a prime franchise tag candidate. And I 62 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: know Dennis just said what we could get Joe Mixon, 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: and I still think we could even get Dalvin Cook 64 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: potentially as cap casualties. So this already very deep running 65 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: back class could just get even more. It's going to 66 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: be I think, even because I think I think some 67 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: of these guys are going to kind of get moved 68 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: right now. The Giants say they're trying to avoid using 69 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: the franchise tag on either say Quon or Daniel Jones. 70 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: But we'll see what happened when everybody sits down to 71 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: actually talk numbers. I would say in the long term, 72 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: I love Tony Pollard, I think the most because he 73 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: is the youngest, he has the least wear and tear 74 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: on him, and I think he is shown to be 75 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: a little bit more explosive than the other two guys. 76 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: I think in the short term I might put Jacobs 77 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: ahead of Barkley. I think what we saw from him 78 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: last year was the Josh Jacobs I think we anticipated 79 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: when the Raiders originally drafted him. They started to use 80 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: him in so many other ways. He was so much 81 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: more productive on a consistent week to week basis, I 82 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: think it's going to be really interesting about what his 83 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: situation is going to be. Let's start with Tony Pollard, though, 84 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: because that's the guy that made the big splash last year. 85 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: Everybody loved him. Everybody was ready to, you know, put 86 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: Zeke out to pasture because of Tony Pollard. And when 87 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: Zeke was hurt, Pollard played really really well. Does this 88 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: mean he's ready to be a true workhorse somewhere or 89 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: is he just a guy that sort of took advantage 90 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: of a situation. I do think he is ready to 91 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: be a workhorse, but not your traditional like he's not 92 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: going to get like Josh Jacobs carrying the ball over 93 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: three hundred times last year at least. I don't want 94 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: him to be that, Like he's never even had two 95 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: hundred carries in a season in his career. What I 96 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: want Tony Pollard is I want him to be getting 97 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: somewhere like two two hundred and twenty five carries and 98 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: then even more targets like last year was a career 99 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: high fifty fifty five targets. Let's get that number hood 100 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: to like seventy, Like push that number. I want Tony 101 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: Pollard to be used more, but to continue to be 102 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: used how he is in the passing game on a 103 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: lot of outside runs. I don't want him to become 104 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: a running back that we're giving the ball fifteen times, 105 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: run up the middle and get those short yardage carries. 106 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: Like Zeke did help Pollard in that regard. Where he 107 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: hurt was he took targets away, he took goal line 108 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: carries away. I want Pollard to get all of that work. 109 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: But I do think he needs a second running back 110 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: there to help him shoulder to load because his specialty 111 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: is explosiveness, and the more wear and tear and the 112 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: more hits he takes, explosiveness starts to dwindle. So I 113 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: do think he's ready to be a workhorse. And to me, 114 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: I think one of the more interesting questions of this 115 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: free agency with running backs is are the Cowboys going 116 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: to decide to keep Zeke and let Pollard walk or 117 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: are they gonna decide, hey, Zeke, you had your run, 118 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna let you go now and we're gonna keep 119 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard? Or option three do they move on from 120 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: both of them? Could also be there. You know, there's 121 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: a lot of chatter that Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones 122 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: love Bijean Robinson. I mean the Cowboys taking a stud 123 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: running back from the University of Texas. It all fits 124 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: so perfectly. Maybe they decide to kind of move on 125 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: from both these guys, start over with Bijon and see 126 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: what happens there. I like what you were saying about 127 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: the potential usage for Pollard just because he sort of 128 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: slots in and don't I don't want to necessarily call 129 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: him a Christian McCaffrey or an Austin Eckler, but he 130 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: has that sort of skill set, right. He was used 131 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: in that manner where he can run the football, but 132 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: he also really is a threat in the passing game, 133 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: not just a guy that you're going to dump the 134 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: ball off to when pressure comes, and so that sort 135 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: of puts him in a rare category. We don't have 136 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: a ton of those guys. I'm not even sure that 137 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: sae Quon qualifies as that, because you know, yeah, he 138 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: caught the ball a lot, but he wasn't necessarily lining up. 139 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: You didn't look at him as a guy who's going 140 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: to line up in the slot and run an actual route, 141 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: whereas that's a thing that we've seen from Eckler, We've 142 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: seen from McCaffrey, we have seen it from Tony Pollard. 143 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what gives him the leg up. 144 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: The question is, as you mentioned, does that happen Alice? 145 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: Does that happen somewhere else? Which I guess sort of 146 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: begs the bigger question when you look at these three Barkley, Jacobs, Pollard, 147 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense for any of them to leave where 148 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: they are or should they all stay put or some 149 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: combination of that. I think it makes sense for Tony 150 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: Pollard to leave that if Jerry Jones is still committed 151 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: to Zeke, I think it's his time to you go out. 152 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: And the Cowboys are in over the cap already right now, 153 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: so they might not be able to give him as 154 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: much money as other teams. I think the best case 155 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: scenario for sae Quan is saying with the Giants, but 156 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: they right now have the fourth most cap. But they 157 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: have to decide what they're gonna do with Daniel Jones, 158 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: like he might just be either franchised or they might 159 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: be like, hey, listen, we don't have enough money to 160 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: keep you and Daniel Jones, And I think they would 161 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: go with the quarterback there the Raiders at the third 162 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: most cap, so I think it makes the most sense 163 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: of all three of these to bring back Josh Jacobs. 164 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: He was so good for them a year ago. They're 165 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: probably kicking themselves for not picking up his fifth year 166 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: option now. But when you have that money, and I 167 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: know people keep saying that it's a rebuilding year for 168 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: the Raiders, but they're going after Aaron Rodgers. Like, if 169 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: you're going after Aaron Rodgers, you're not planning on rebuilding. 170 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: So I think you want to keep those pieces around 171 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: and keep that offense intact at least one more year. 172 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: Give it a go at Josh McDaniels in a new 173 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: quarterback and see what you have, and if that fails, 174 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: then I think they're just going to completely blow it up. 175 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: I think. So, yeah, that's that's a weird spot to 176 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: be in for the Raiders because they are chasing Aaron Rodgers. 177 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: It's a team that, yes, they could use a quarterback 178 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: obviously with no Derek Carr, but they have a lot 179 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: more holes than that. So to go out and spend 180 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: the assets to bring in Aaron Rodgers when you still 181 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: have so many other places you've got to build this roster, 182 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: and not to mention you play in the same division 183 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. It just I don't 184 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: know that seems like it would be a poor use 185 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: of assets the Raiders and sense they'll have never really 186 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: intersected a whole lot, So we'll see how that works. 187 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: I do think I do think say Quan's gonna end 188 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: up staying with it allience. It sounds like Josh Jacobs 189 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: wants to come back to Vegas, which is really interesting 190 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: because that's not what it sounded like after we what 191 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: sixteen or seventeen, when he sounded really frustrated and fed 192 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: up about the situation he had been in. But then 193 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: it seems like at the end of the year maybe 194 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: he just had a chance to decompress, did it without 195 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: a darkness retreat, and decided that he was going to 196 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: come back and decide to be with the Raiders again. 197 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: I do think Pollard probably needs to move on, just because, 198 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, it seems like the Cowboys still don't 199 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: want to completely cut ties to Zeke. There's still the 200 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: Bijean Robinson rumors that are floating around right there, and 201 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: I think, you know, if anything, Dallas might be hesitant 202 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: to sign another running back to a long term contract 203 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: based on kind of what's happened with Ezekiel Elliott the 204 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: last few years. He was a very good player when 205 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: they signed him to the extension. He has declined significantly 206 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: since then, and I wonder whether or not, if you're 207 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, you want to tie yourself to another big, 208 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: long running back contract over the next few years. So 209 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: it might make the most sense for Pollard to find 210 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: a new home at this point. The Tier two guys, 211 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: it was hard kind of narrowing this down, but the 212 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,359 Speaker 1: guys I put in Tier two Miles Sanders, Devin Singletary, 213 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: David Montgomery, Damien Harris, and I threw in Leonard Fournette 214 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: because he is expected to be released by the Buccaneers. 215 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: Not a surprise, a guy who is a little bit 216 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: of wear and tear on him at this point. He's 217 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: only twenty eight, which is amazing to me. I mean, 218 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: I really thought, you know, it's in my head. I 219 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: thought he was like thirty three or thirty four years 220 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: for a while. Is only twenty eight years old. But 221 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: it's definitely starting to slow down a little bit. And 222 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: on top of it, the Buccaneers are incredibly well over 223 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: the cap number, so they've got to figure out how 224 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: to get that number down a little bit. When you 225 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: look at those guys, though, those five guys I have 226 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: on this list, Sanders, Singletary, Montgomery, Harris Fournette, is there 227 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: one that jumps out from the rest of this group 228 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: to you, not particularly, Like if I'm an NFL team 229 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: in need of a running back, and I obviously don't 230 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: want to go after one of the top of the 231 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: guys that we just talked about, like I don't want 232 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: to spend all that money. I'll hit up all of 233 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: these guys and whichever one is the cheapest, I'll give 234 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: them like a one year, two year deal something like that. 235 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: Like that's how I think I would approach it. I know, 236 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: like Miles Sanders is the one that I think is 237 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: the best of this bunch, but he's coming from an 238 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: ideal situation. Devin Singletary has shown that he can be 239 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: a really useful back, but he lacks explosiveness. You speak 240 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: about a lack of explosiveness. No running back lacked more 241 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: last year than David Montgomery. He had the fewest amount 242 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: of explosive runs of any running back, he got outplayed 243 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: by Khalil Herbert. I think the Bears would be smart 244 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: actually to let him go. Damian Harris is someone that 245 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: has burst, but he's so one dimensional. And then Leonard Fournette. 246 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: I actually compared the numbers today Marcus between Fournette and 247 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: Rashad White, and it's almost like they're the pointing Spider 248 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: Man gifts. But if you just were to follow the 249 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: narrative and like Twitter, you would think that Leonard Fournet 250 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: is washed, not gonna be able to sign with a 251 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: team next year, and Rashad White's about to be a star. 252 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: And I'm like, it can't be both. Either the offense 253 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: hurt both or they're both bad. Like you can't look 254 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: at them too and be like, this guy's good even 255 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: though he struggled in a bad offense, and this guy's 256 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: done for doing the exact same thing. I'm glad we 257 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: got here to Rashad Why right, because it is interesting 258 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: one the Bucks in this might also just be part 259 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: of trying to give a guy a good recommendation after 260 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: letting him go. But ye know, the Bucks four offenses 261 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: that they still believe Leonard Fournette can be a three 262 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: down back. He is mostly a cap casualty for this team. 263 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: They've got to get under that number. So that's an 264 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: easy spot to make a move right there. Yes, he 265 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: was not as efficient this past year as he had 266 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: been in the past. Some of that had to do 267 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: with a Buccaneers offense that really struggled for a good 268 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: portion of the year, an offensive line that was not 269 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: particularly good. So I look at Rashad why and I've 270 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: already seen, you know, people saying, hey, look, if you 271 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: want to make the move in dynasty, maybe this is 272 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: an opportunity to sell. But you know, but the idea 273 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: being that you could still get a whole lot for 274 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: Rashade White. I don't know how you feel about it. 275 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm of the opinion that maybe he's okay. He's not 276 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: a guy that comes in with a ton of draft capital. 277 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: The offense is going to be bad, the offensive line 278 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: still has holes. At the moment, Kyle Trask is your 279 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,119 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. There's talk that, on top of losing Leonard Fournette, 280 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: they may have to move on from Chris Godwin to 281 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: try to get under the cap number. So you're taking 282 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: one of the big weapons out of the passing games. 283 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: Maybe he is all of that. I'm not totally sold 284 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: on that, but he's gonna be in a bad offense. 285 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: That to me is reason to just sort of proceed 286 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: with caution when you're talking about him. Yeah, I completely agree. 287 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: And then you add in the fact that no matter 288 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: who their quarterback is, and they're speaking about Kyle Trask 289 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: way too highly in my opinion, but whoever it is 290 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: is not going to dump the ball off nearly as 291 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: much or as effectively as Tom Brady has for years. 292 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: So I think you're gonna lose some of the passing 293 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: game numbers there for White. To me, Marcus would seems 294 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: like is dynasty players and of talent evaluators and stuff 295 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: liked him before last season, and like they don't want 296 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: to let go of it. Right. I'm not saying he's 297 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: done and he's washed, but I think the hype is 298 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: way too high for a player who coming off of 299 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: the season that Rashad White is coming off of. Is 300 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: Rashad White the new Keyshaw Vaughn, Because remember a couple 301 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: of years ago, right, Keishaan Vaughn was gonna be the 302 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: guy that that put Leonard Fournette out to pasture everybody. 303 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: You know, let's get away from Keyshaw Vaughn or get 304 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: away from Fournette because Vaughan is coming. Um, I mean 305 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: he's another guy who a third round pick. Uh, you know, 306 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: has never really seen the same level of opportunity that 307 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: Rashad White saw last year, but also never really blossomed 308 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: into anything. All right, So maybe as I'm today her 309 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: talking myself through it is better than Keysha. But but 310 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: Rashad White, we talked about it a lot during the 311 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: regular season, like for years, whoever Leonard Fournette's backup is 312 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: gets hyped and the only one that's ever actually lived 313 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: up to it was James Robinson that one year. Yeah 314 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: that's true. I didn't think about that. Yeah, that's right. 315 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: In Jacksonville, Robinson sort of made the Leard Fournet expendable 316 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: and sent him to Tampa Bay. In the end, you 317 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: mentioned Miles Sanders a little bit, and last year before 318 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: the season, Miles Sanders reprimanded all of us fantasy folks 319 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: and said, don't draft me, and we were like, hi, Cole, 320 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: And then you know, midway through the year, we were like, oh, 321 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: you didn't really mean that, you were just giving us 322 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: a hard time. Career highs by far thirteen forty seven yards, 323 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: eleven total touchdowns. But at the end of the year, 324 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: we saw the Eagles start incorporating more guys. We saw 325 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: Kenneth gained wellmore, we saw Boston Scott occasionally. Is there 326 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: a concern about Miles Sanders, which one is the real guy? 327 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: Is that the guy that we saw last year is 328 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: the guy who was just sort of met the first 329 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: few years of his career. I don't I don't want 330 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: to take away what he did last season because it 331 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: was a very impressive campaign. But before last season, he 332 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: had never rushed for over for eight hundred and seven 333 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: yards in a season. He had more rushing touchdowns last 334 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: year than in his first three seasons combined. And what 335 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: worries me a bit is that his past game usage 336 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: has really dwindled as of late. He's never matched his 337 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: rookie season, only has two hundred over two hundred receiving 338 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: yards in his rookie seasons. So to me, we're looking 339 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: at a guy who's used primarily between the tackles, can't 340 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: give you a whole lot in the passing game, and 341 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: he's coming off of a career year. But he did 342 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: so inarguably what I would call at least the best 343 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: rushing attack in football, where he had a great o 344 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: line play, and even more so importantly, everyone was petrified 345 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurts running against them, so it just creates 346 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: running lanes from Miles Sanders. I think he's a useful talent, 347 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: but I can't look at what he did this past 348 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: season and be like, yeah, that trump's what he did 349 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: the first three seasons. So I think the truth is 350 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: probably somewhere in the middle. But I wouldn't be willing 351 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: to pay him what his last season would demand that 352 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: he gets paid, if that makes sense. No, I think 353 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, I don't think he is as 354 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: good necessarily as what we saw last year, but I 355 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: think he is better than what we saw the first 356 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: few years. And I think he's going to sort of 357 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: get paid accordingly, and I think he's going to be 358 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: used accordingly where I wouldn't be surprised to see Miles 359 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 1: Sanders go somewhere and be a lead back in somebody's offense. 360 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: But he's never going to be anything close to a workhorse. 361 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever going to be a three 362 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: down back. Hopefully wherever he goes, they use him more 363 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: in the passing game than the Eagles have been the 364 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: last couple of years, because especially if he doesn't go 365 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: to an offense it's going to score. What definitely kept 366 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: him afloat was that the Eagles were one of the 367 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: more high scoring teams in the NFL. You go to 368 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: a team that's not going to score as many points, 369 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: that takes away from what your ceiling can be. I mean, 370 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: it's sort of like we just talked about with Rashad White. 371 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: If he ends up as the lead back in Tampa, 372 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: that offense is not going to be very good next year, 373 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: and so that sort of puts a cap on what 374 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: Rashad White can be. Hopefully, Sanders, if he does not 375 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: stay in Philadelphia, finds himself a place where they're going 376 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: to score some points and they kind of give him 377 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: the opportunity to be productive there. Also, real quick why 378 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: I ask about Damien Harris because when I put him 379 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: in this group, I agonized over that when I stared 380 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: at that for a while, like do I put him here? 381 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: Do I move him down to sort of the the 382 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: field quote unquote if you're using a golf term, here 383 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: is Damian Harris has he become Sony Michelle. Oh, that 384 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: is a great comparison. I think so, Like he's one 385 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: of those running backs who he's a really good runner. 386 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: We know that he's explosive, he's physical, he can be 387 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: great between the tackles, but he gives you nothing in 388 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: the passing game. And in my opinion, those are the 389 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: kind of running backs that you don't pay, Like I 390 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: could pay Damian Harris a bunch of money, or I 391 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: can pay Deontay Forming a whole lot less. You know, 392 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: like that that's my thinking. I think if I we 393 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: hear all the time about devaluing running backs, if I 394 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: was to invest in the position, it would have to 395 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: be someone that is dual, like a dual threat, Like 396 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: they can help me on the ground and in the 397 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: passing game. If you can only do one or the other, 398 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: I can probably get someone that's maybe not as good 399 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: as you, but can give me similar production. I think 400 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: I think that's going to sort of work against him, right, 401 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: because he's a good running back, but he's not so 402 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: great that he's going to just trump right Derrick Henry. 403 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: It's nice that they throw him the ball now, but 404 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry could get away with not catching the football 405 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: because he was Derrick Henry. Right. When you're running for 406 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen hundred yards in a season and you're running 407 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: for double digit touchdowns, people are aren't really going to 408 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: freak out a whole lot that you don't catch the football. 409 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: If you're Damien Harris, though, you're not catching the football 410 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: and you're giving us seven eight hundred yards a year, 411 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: it gets a little bit harder to sort of justify that. 412 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: And the more I look at it, the more that 413 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: that twenty twenty one season, the fifteen rushing touchdowns that 414 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: you know that just over a thousand scrimmage yards, that 415 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: feels very much like the outlier in his career. At 416 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: this point. I'm hoping he goes somewhere else though, just 417 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: because I don't want him there to take touches away 418 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: from Stevenson, like I hope the Patriots were no One 419 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: in because I really really like Ramandre Stevenson and I 420 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: want him to keep the same type of role that 421 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: he was in last season. If Damien Harris leaves New England, 422 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: which seems sort of likely, the Ramandre Stevenson rocketship is 423 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: going to Jupiter. It is just like it is bypassing 424 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: the Moon and Mars. It is going to Jupiter. Uh 425 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: if if if Damian Harris isn't there next year, it's 426 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: in two weeks. Your timeline is going to be. It 427 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what moves to happen, I can it's gonna 428 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: be filled with rocketship emojis just nothing of a rocketship 429 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: emoji for random players in a random places. But by 430 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: the way, I didn't mention this. We talked about Devin Singletary. 431 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: The Bills have said they want to expand James Cook's 432 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: role this this upcoming year. You are, you're you're a 433 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: resident Bills fan here. I just can you get a 434 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: word to them. I just want a clear delineation of 435 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: roles in that offense, right, James Cook, we don't even 436 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: catch the football, but they didn't use him for that. 437 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: Niheim Hines they brought him in. He can catch the football, 438 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: they didn't use him for that. I just want some clarity. 439 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: Can you get word to Sean McDermott, just be like, hey, man, 440 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: let us know what you're doing back here. I mean 441 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: yesterday Brennan Bean was like, yeah, we're very confident in 442 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis is our number two wide receiver. I'm like, 443 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't believe a word you guys are saying right now. 444 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: I do think, though, we will get more James Cook, 445 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: because the one thing, as maddening as it could be 446 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: at times, is like Sean McDermott, I think, more than 447 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: any coach maybe besides, like Andy Reid with how he 448 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: uses some of his players, is like petrified of a 449 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: rookie wall So it really seemed to me like early 450 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: in the year they did not want to use James 451 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: Cook at all. I can't tell you why they didn't 452 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: use in the Heeam Haines, although probably worth the trade 453 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: just on the punt return Week eighteen alone, but besides that, 454 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: he could have used the guy. I mean, he's a 455 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: really useful running back. I am up to thinking that 456 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: the Bills might actually invest in a running back for 457 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: the first time in a while, like outside of like 458 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: a third or fourth round draft pick. H Now, that 459 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: would be interesting. I don't know that I like it, 460 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,959 Speaker 1: but it would be interesting if we're bringing somebody else in, 461 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. Just my immediate thought is it puts 462 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: us back in the situation where we had Devin Singletary 463 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: and Zach Moss then Moss moves on. It's James Cook, 464 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: It's Nahiem Hines. Great for the Bills, bad for us. 465 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: There hasn't been an explosive running back since they've drafted 466 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. So like James Cook is probably the most 467 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: explosive running back they've had, Josh Allen's like the most 468 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: explosive running back they have, really is right now, really 469 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: really is. There are plenty more running backs to talk about. 470 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: We won't dive into them individually because there's just two 471 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: dang many of them, but wanted to kind of take 472 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: a big picture look at what this means for us 473 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 1: fantasy wise going forward. Take a quick break, we'll come back. 474 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and Florio's film festival. That's after 475 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: the break here on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, talking 476 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: running backs here, and I've got through the first couple 477 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: of years I put this category. I just called them 478 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: the rest. And it's not even the rest. It's the 479 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: rest of the guys that I think could actually move 480 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: the needle a little bit in fantasy. So that list 481 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: includes Jamal Williams, Deontay Foreman, Jeff Wilson, right, he most 482 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: did Kenyan Drake Rashad Penny, who, by the way, I 483 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: debated whether I have to put Rashad Penny in sort 484 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: of Tier two as well, but injuries sort of made 485 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: me knock him down to this group. Samaj p Ryan, 486 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: who definitely was making an impact for the Bengals near 487 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: the end of the season. This is just a handful, 488 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: and they're probably other guys that if I really combed 489 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: the list, could probably make it into this group. Heeries, well, 490 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: but that's just an idea of of sort of what 491 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: we're working with here. Obviously, the idea of a true 492 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: workhorse running back is sort of dead, right. I mean, 493 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: you got sure s Quan fills that, Bill Derrick Henry. 494 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: I don't even know if Christian McCaffrey does. Because the 495 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: Niners like using multiple guys. When you look at fantasy 496 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: running backs and you're evaluating them, now, you can't just say, hey, 497 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: I want a guy who's gonna touch the ball three 498 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: hundred times, because that doesn't happen. How do you evaluate 499 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: fantasy running backs at this point? I think this upcoming season, 500 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: obviously we sell the free we have free agency in 501 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: the draft, but I think it's going to be harder 502 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: to evaluate backfields than ever before. Like remember last season 503 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: when quarterbacks and receivers were like completely flipped on its 504 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: head and it was a guessing game with a lot 505 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: of teams. I think that's gonna be running backs in 506 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three drafts because all of these names that 507 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: like you just mentioned Alexander Madison, Kareem Hunt, like there's 508 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: other good players that were Like if these guys ever, 509 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, went to the right spot, we could see 510 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: them being useful. I think a lot of teams instead 511 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: of paying up for those the high end running backs, 512 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: are gonna sign two of these guys or sign one 513 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: of them. Because it's a very deep draft class as well. 514 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: So we could see teams sign one of these and 515 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: pair with a running back that they already have, or 516 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: pair with their running back in the draft. I think 517 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: pretty much there's gonna be a handful of running backs 518 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: that we feel confident, Like if John Shacob supposed to 519 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: return to the Raiders or Sequon or CMC like you said, 520 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: al Sin Eckler, like, we know that those guys are 521 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: gonna get all the work in their backfield. Derrick Henry, 522 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: so you could take those guys early. But for me, 523 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like next year is going to be the 524 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: ultimate year from mid round value and finding value off 525 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: of the waiver wire. I went and looked. I'm just 526 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: trying to figure out if there's a threshold for like 527 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: number of touches in a season that sort of, you know, 528 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: makes us feel comfortable. I said, the number two hundred 529 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: sort of arbitrary, but not really. Thirty guys, thirty running 530 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: backs had at least two hundred touches. Of those thirty guys, 531 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: pretty much all of them were top twenty five no surprise. 532 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: The two guys that had less than two hundred touches 533 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,479 Speaker 1: that finished top twenty five running backs Jerick McKinnon who 534 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: had that incredible touchdown streak down the stretch which helped 535 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 1: a whole lot, and DeAndre Swift, which I'm surprised if 536 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: he was a top twenty five back one hundred and 537 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: forty seven total touches, didn't miss a couple of games 538 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: with injury. But do we have to lower that number now? 539 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: Are we talking about are we looking at guys you know, 540 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: is it one hundred and fifty, is it one hundred 541 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: and twenty five touches? Is there is there a new 542 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: threshold for what we want out of a running back 543 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: in terms of how they're used, or is it just, 544 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: you know, are we just going to be doomed to 545 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: sort of pick and choose and sort of shuffle through 546 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: on a week to week basis. I think the ladder. 547 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: I think two hundred is a good number. Whereas five 548 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: years ago, if you told me like two hundred touches, 549 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: people would be like, no, like that's two fifty. And 550 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: in five years before that it was three hundred touches, 551 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: you know, So it just shows us how much the 552 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: position has changed. But the two outliers McKinnon and Swift, 553 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: they both have in common that they scored a bunch 554 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: of touchdowns and they had a lot of catches. Like, 555 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: I think that is the only margin for error that 556 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: you have. If you're not going to get at least 557 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: two hundred touches, you need to be highly efficient with touchdowns, 558 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: which are very unpredictable, not only over the course of 559 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: a full season, but just week to week. And then 560 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: you need to be involved in the passing name because 561 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: if you don't do that, you're you're basically useless for fantasy. 562 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: If you're just gonna get under two hundred carries um. 563 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's gonna be confusing week to 564 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,719 Speaker 1: week because even like remember the last season with Swift 565 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: and Jamal Williams there it was frustrating. Like there were 566 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: weeks where we were saying, all right, you can't use 567 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: Swift anymore, they're giving him six touches and then he 568 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: came out and got eighteen and he got the goal 569 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: on work, and then Jamal Williams would give you like 570 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: six points. Like backfields like that are going. You're gonna 571 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: have running backs that you can use, but they're just 572 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: gonna be very frustrating week to week. So that's why 573 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: again I think the early rounds next season, you should 574 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: be planning to take receivers. Whether you want to take 575 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: an early round tight end, that's up to you and 576 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: all of your decision making. But I also think quarterbacks 577 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: next season, Like I'm already planning on thinking I need 578 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: one of the top eight quarterbacks, which means I'm probably 579 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: gonna have to take them in the first six rounds. 580 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: So what position am I going to push down the 581 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: draft board a little bit? For me, It's likely going 582 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: to be running backs. So that begs the next question 583 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: in honor of the Mandalorian Season three premiering. Today's Today Today, 584 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: It's today zero RB. This is the way? Is this 585 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: our new way of life now? I think so. I 586 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 1: think the most I would go is modified zero or 587 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: like hero RB, which is like you take one running 588 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: back early on. Like if say I'm sitting there in 589 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: like the fourth or fifth pick and I could get 590 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: like an Austin Eckler or at CMC, I will strongly 591 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: consider that because then I only need to find one 592 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 1: running back the rest of the way. But I'm fine 593 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: loading up on receivers early and just saying there's gonna 594 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: be guys who hit in the middle to late rounds, 595 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: and then even more so off waivers. I think, I mean, 596 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: I just think it's not gonna be I don't think 597 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like a hey, this is like an 598 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: outside the box strategy or I'm trying to zig where 599 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: everybody's zagg. I think that's just going to be the 600 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: way we start drafting, at least for the foreseeable future, 601 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: with so many teams using multiple running backs. I mean, 602 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: I honestly think the fact that the forty nine Ers 603 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: brought in Christian McCaffrey and didn't just suddenly give him 604 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the snaps that you saw other 605 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: guys still working in still getting touches. If Christian McCaffrey 606 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: is no longer just a true dominating the backfield workhorse, 607 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: that means we don't have many left. I mean, we 608 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: really are looking at you know, the Derreck Henry's, maybe 609 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: the Sequans, maybe the Austin Ekelers, depending on what the 610 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: Chargers want to do. They're just aren't many of those 611 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: guys left, and so it's going to be harder to 612 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 1: justify spending a top three to five pick on one 613 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: of those running backs when you've got Justin Jefferson or 614 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup or you know, even Advante Adams or you know, 615 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs sitting up in one of those top spots there. 616 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: Zero RB or modified zero RB might just become the 617 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: way of things now, Like like looking at the running 618 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: top running backs from last season, Eckler and CMC there there. 619 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs could be on a new team. Yeah, Derrick 620 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: Henry is Derrick Henry, but he even getting up there 621 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: in age where I think there's some concern sae Quon 622 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: Barkley could be on a new team. Nick Chubb is 623 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, Rumandre Stevenson, Tony Pollard could be on a 624 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: new team. Aaron Jones could have a completely different team 625 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: around him. Mixon and Dalvin Cook were two running backs 626 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: were still saying maybe could get moved. Leonard for Nette's 627 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: gonna be on a new team. Jamal Williams could be 628 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: on a new team. Naji's Naji. And then you have 629 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: Miles Sanders who could be on a new team. And 630 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: then there's Alvin Kamaro who's dealing with off the field stuff. 631 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: Like all of the top running backs are, they bring 632 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: some level of concern unless you want to put like 633 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker up in towards the top like that I'm 634 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: okay with. But am I gonna take him over one 635 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: of the top receivers. Probably not. No, you're not taking 636 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: him over. You're not taking him in the first round. 637 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: You're taking him probably second or third round. Um. Yeah, 638 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: it's just it is a It is a murky time 639 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: for fantasy running backs right now. And we'll get maybe 640 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of clarity in a couple of weeks 641 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: when guys start moving, start changing teams, and we kind 642 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: of get a better idea of that. We'll get more 643 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: ideal obviously after the draft once teams drafted and signed 644 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: running backs and we kind of get a better picture 645 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: of backfields. But I dare say that the way we 646 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: drafted running backs the last few years is going to 647 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: be very different than the way we're drafting running backs 648 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: in the next few years to come. Time for another 649 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: edition of Florio's film Festival. Last week we started it 650 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: off with Terminator two. This week we stay with another 651 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: LA based action movie, Speed release June tenth, nineteen ninety four, 652 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: on a budget of thirty million dollars, which seems poultry 653 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: compared to T two's one hundred and five million or 654 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: whatever it was, grows three hundred and fifty million dollars worldwide. 655 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen the movie, it's simple. There's a 656 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: bomb on a bus. If the bus goes below fifty 657 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: miles an hour, the bus explodes. So it's up to 658 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: Kiano Reeves to keep the bus from blowing up. He 659 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: with the help of Sandra Bullock and a whole bunch 660 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: of other quick thinking passengers on this LA bus. Some 661 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: fun facts about it. Sandra Bullock learned to drive a 662 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: US for the movie. To make it look realistic. I 663 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: felt why she did a great job. Yeah. It came 664 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: out one week before O. J. Simpson's Low Speed Freeway Chase, 665 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: which is maybe the most amazing piece of trivia ever 666 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: because you have a you know, a movie where a 667 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: bus is sort of being chased through the LA freeways 668 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: and then OJ, who I think was going significantly less 669 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: than fifty miles an hour, gets chased by cops on 670 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: the freeway a week later. And in the original script, 671 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: the bus was supposed to circle Dodger Stadium, but the 672 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: studio couldn't get rights to film there, which having seen 673 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: it now, I feel like it would be a much 674 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: more boring movie if they're just driving in circles at 675 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. Yeah, I was gonna I don't think that 676 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: would have worked as well as going to Lax. No. Um, 677 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: so your your first, your thoughts, your takeaways. Having been 678 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: introduced now to speed Speed was awesome, Like I really 679 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: enjoyed it, Like I would easily watch it again. And 680 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: I love the that I didn't know really anything about out. 681 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: I knew there was a bomb on the bus and 682 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: Keanu Reeves was in it, and that was it. Then 683 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: I saw. I was like, wait, that's Sandra Bullock and 684 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: there's a young Jeff Daniels, and like, I really liked 685 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: the cast. It was. It was really entertaining. And what 686 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: I like is that like there's multiple times where you 687 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: think they won and they beat the bombers and then nope, 688 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: he just like he's relentless. He keeps coming back until 689 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: you know for sure that he can't come back anymore, 690 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: which was also awesome. Like I just I really enjoyed 691 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: this movie. Speed was I don't know if I've said 692 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: this on the podcast. I know I've said this before. 693 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: Speed is the movie When they asked what's the movie 694 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: you've seen the most times in theaters? It's Speed. For me, 695 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: I saw it seven times in the theater. Let me clarify, 696 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: it's not because I think it's some it's it's a 697 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: great movie. I enjoy it. I don't think it's some 698 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: sort of classic cinema. I'm not putting it up there 699 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: with like The Godfather. It was just it came out 700 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: the year I graduated from high school, and I had 701 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: a lot of free time during the summer, and inevitably 702 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: a friend would say, Hey, I want to go see Speed. 703 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: You want to come with me, and I'd be like, okay. 704 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: So that's how I ended up seeing at seven seven 705 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: times in theaters. Um any any unanswered questions, anything about 706 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: it that you're like, wait a minute, that didn't make sense? No, Um. 707 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: The only thing I was wondering, and I don't think 708 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,959 Speaker 1: they addressed in the movie. So when when the bus 709 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 1: goes into the plane, okay, is the plane full of people? 710 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: That's what I wondered too watching it that. You know, 711 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: the guy towing the plane jumps out and runs away later, 712 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: But my thought was, did they just kill a whole 713 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: lot of people on this plane? Because I well, obviously 714 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 1: you're rooting for them to get off the bus and 715 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: to get saved. But I was like, I don't know 716 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: if a two for you know, like one hundred people 717 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: is a fair trade. So that that was a little concerning. Um. 718 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: Keanu reeves, as awesome as his character is, I was like, dude, 719 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: take a second to think about what you're doing sometimes, 720 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: because like he had, he was just reckless. I felt 721 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: like his whole his whole mode of operations was you 722 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: know what, We're gonna go more extreme things, right. I mean, 723 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: obviously the as part with him jumping over the you know, 724 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: the gap in the freeway. His whole thing was, let's 725 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,959 Speaker 1: just speed up the bus and we can make the jump. 726 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: Then at the end, when they're trapped on a subway 727 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: train and they can't get out, his responses, let's speed 728 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: it up. I'm like, you can't just do this for everything. 729 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: Just can't be your answer for everything. Just speed it up. 730 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: When when he goes on that I don't even know 731 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: what to call it, that like thing that goes under 732 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: the bus, everyone on the bus is like, this is 733 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: a this is a dumb idea. He's just like I 734 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: got it, and like they saved him, which is awesome, 735 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: But I was like, he was really trying not to 736 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: get saved that day. My only other big question with 737 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: this movie, um, and I rewatched it. I hadn't watched 738 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: it in years, so I watched it again from start 739 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: to finish. At the end, after they get off the 740 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: bus and they're going to catch Dennis Hopper's character the bomber, 741 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: why did they just leave Sandra Bullocks standing on the 742 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: street by herself to get kidnapped. I was wondering that 743 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 1: as well. I was like, and why did she willingly 744 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: I get it. He was dressed as a cop and 745 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: he was like previously, so I'm sure he sounds like one, 746 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 1: but I was like, after everything I've been through, I'd 747 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: be like, I'm not leaving this spot, or I want 748 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: to go home? Yeah, can I go home now? I 749 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: don't really need to be a part of your sting 750 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: operation to catch the bomber guy. I'm going home. If 751 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: you have any questions for me, here's my phone number. 752 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: Give me a call. By the way, there was actual 753 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: phone booths in that movie. Oh yeah. At the very 754 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: beginning of the movie, they blow up. They blow up 755 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: a different bus and Dennis Hopper calls Keanu Reeves on 756 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: a pay phone and as somebody who lived through the 757 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: pay phone error, that's still that still kind of caught 758 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: me off guard that he actually went to a pay phone. 759 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 1: The one thing I did not see coming at all 760 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: was his house blowing up. Blowing up. Yeah, poor Jeff Daniels. Again, 761 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: this movie is thirty years old, so I'm not gonna 762 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: say spoiler alert here. Poor Jeff Daniels catches it in 763 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: the worst way by going to someone's house and have 764 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: me a blow up while he was inside. Uh, you know, 765 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: they made a Speed too, right, you're aware of the 766 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,240 Speaker 1: Yeah it is Sandra Bullock and Jason Patrick. They couldn't 767 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 1: get Keanu Reeves for Speed two because like the matrix 768 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: sort of. So in Speed two they're on a cruise ship. 769 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: It's on a giant boat. I feel like that doesn't 770 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: hold up. I will tell you that I've never seen 771 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: it because it looked awful. Um it got a four 772 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: percent on Rotten Tomatoes, so that tells you pretty much everything. 773 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: Speed one got like a like eighty six percent or somewhere. Yeah, 774 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 1: Like I saw that score and I was like, oh, 775 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: this must be a really good Like even before I 776 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: watched it, I was like, this must be really good. 777 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 1: But if in the speed world, if I'm Sandra Bullock 778 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,879 Speaker 1: after that cruise ride, I'm never going on another form. 779 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm never going on transportation again ever. You know what, 780 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: maybe I just I just take a bike everywhere or something. 781 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm not taking buses, I'm not 782 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: taking boats. Planes are already sort of sort of sketchy 783 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: for that sort of thing anyway. So yeah, all right, 784 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: so your overall verdict thumbs up, I assume, yeah, very much, 785 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: So thumbs up. I would watch it again, and I 786 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,439 Speaker 1: don't want to compare movies, but I actually I thought 787 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: Speed holds up to modern times even better than Terminator 788 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: because Terminator is all about future technology and stuff like this. 789 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: I was like, I imagine if there was a bomb 790 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: on a bus today, it would it would go very 791 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: similar to how it went in Speed. You know, like 792 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,839 Speaker 1: we it's even though it's been thirty years. I don't 793 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: think our strategy with that or anything would change. The 794 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: difference is people on the bus would be live streaming 795 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: the whole thing. That's very true. The dude wouldn't even 796 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: need all those TVs. He doesn't need a couple of phones. 797 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: And that's the other thing, by the way, that sort 798 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: of threw me off. He doesn't know the bus blew up, 799 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: like he's watching a million different TV. Like I know, 800 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: he has the feed inside the bus, but he's also 801 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: watching the news, like I would think there's a giant 802 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: explosion at Lax. Somebody would be kind of on top 803 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: of that. I thought this so like, I understand that 804 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: the cops tell the news like, hey, you need to 805 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: put this on loop like film whatever you want, then 806 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: loop it. But I was like, he wouldn't They had 807 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 1: one minute of film and they had enough time to 808 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: not only get everyone off, but for to explode and 809 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: then then go drop the money off. I was like, 810 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't realize that no one on that bus has 811 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: moved in like like twenty minutes. Yeah, that was That 812 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: was a little bit though. But you know at the end, 813 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: hole in the end, you're so caught up in the 814 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: whole emotion of it you don't even matter, even matter. 815 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: The other thing I thought was instead of going for 816 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: a fight that he would clearly lose, like against Jack 817 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: on top of a subway, why he his whole thing 818 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: was like bombs are built to explode. As much as 819 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: I wanted Santral Ballack and Jack who to live, he 820 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,760 Speaker 1: probably would have just blew just been done with it. Yeah, 821 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: I thought that too, Like that was a really poor 822 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: decision by you to climb on top of the train 823 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: and try to fight a man who's like twenty years younger. 824 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: You know, the point is everyone going on top of 825 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: the subway there, and also like he's shooting roles in 826 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: the roof and stuff, and counter Reeves is just run 827 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: and it was like he would have just easily rolled 828 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: off of that train. Absolutely absolutely, But you know what, 829 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: Jack Travin is that dude. Uh and he ends up 830 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: saving the day when it's all said and done. So uh, 831 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: there we go. Thumbs up on Speed. It was great 832 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: to watch it again for me, You're having not seen 833 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: it in a while and kind of get caught up 834 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: in the whole like excitement of the movie once again. 835 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: Next week, I've heard, Can I say what next? Yes? 836 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: Please do say what next week? Is? It's Face Off 837 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: from from nineteen ninety seven, which stars Nicholas Cage right, 838 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. Now, I had had Face 839 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: Off on the original list, and I was gonna wait 840 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: till later. But Ryan Dennis mentioned that he started on 841 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: our recommendation, started watching it last week and he said 842 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: after fifteen minutes he turned it off because it was 843 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: incredibly ridiculous, to which me and our fellow producer hYP 844 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: Ki said, the ridiculousness is part of the joy of it, 845 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: so you have to kind of get through that. So 846 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: that made me want to move it up the list. 847 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: So we're gonna watch Face Off, which I haven't met. 848 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: For all of these movies to be based in Los Angeles, 849 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: but it just a sort of movie has based in 850 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: la So it's not the plan. It just has sort 851 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: of worked out that way. I love it because I 852 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: was watching last time, I was like, oh, I know 853 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: where this is. But I will say I've heard nothing 854 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,360 Speaker 1: but good things about Terminator two coming into my watching experience. 855 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: Same thing with Speed, Like when I tell my friends 856 00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: I was watching, they were like, oh, man, you're in 857 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: for a treat, like you're going to really enjoy it. 858 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: Face Off is I'm getting the exact opposite reaction from 859 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people. They're like, Oh, that movie's uh, 860 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: it's it's a little out there and it's like that 861 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: very out there and it is incredibly ridiculous. Um So 862 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad though, but I'm glad you're getting 863 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: that so great reviews because now I want to get 864 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,919 Speaker 1: to something that, like, you know, maybe there's a little 865 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: controversy here about, you know, the goodness of Face Off. 866 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you to buckle up, because it is. 867 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: It is bananas. The only thing I know is that 868 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: they wear each other's faces. I mean, it's the only 869 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: thing I know. I'm just upset. I'm just gonna say 870 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: it right now. I'm upset that Ryan didn't make it 871 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: to the classic line of Nicholas Cage saying I'm going 872 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 1: to take his face off like that that is worth 873 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: the price of admission on its own. So we are 874 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,919 Speaker 1: going to watch face off next week. We will come back. 875 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: We'll talk about it on this show. I am excited 876 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: because I know Nick Cage is like late two thousands 877 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: Nick Cage. More than so I want to see his 878 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: real life. Oh yeah, because this is Nick Cage. I 879 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: don't know if this is his like most bonkers peak, 880 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,400 Speaker 1: but it's up there. It is when you talk about 881 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: just over the top Nick Cage performances. Is this the 882 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: movie with the Bees? This is not the Bees. That 883 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: would be The Wickerman, which that's a whole different category. 884 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: But yeah, The Wickerman is worth watching. I've just seen 885 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: that clips so many. Yeah, we could almost do a 886 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 1: whole Nick Cage film festival, just all buy himself because 887 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,760 Speaker 1: it is that man is a treasure. He's an American treasure, 888 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: and he needs to be protected at all costs. All right, 889 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: that seems like a good place to kind of put 890 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 1: this one to rest. We'll be back next week. We'll 891 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: talk some pass catchers when it comes to free agency. 892 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: We'll probably recap the combine a little bit as well, 893 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: and we will be talking face off, so we appreciate 894 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: you hanging out with us. As always, i'll do it 895 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,720 Speaker 1: for this edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. Stay happy, 896 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: safe and healthy, do good and live well. Enjoy the week, everybody, 897 00:42:52,280 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you next week. I don't go, 898 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: I don't go.
