00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: How so we spoke to you before the season started.

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Now post fantasy season, good.

Speaker 3: three out of six and one to one, so you

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 3: know the.

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: Hit rates is not too bad. Okay, I mean, look, man, baller, baller,

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: let's go.

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 4: But I need some more takes man, because look, last

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 4: like before the season started, my guy was hitting on

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 4: these takes where I'm like watching this back, I'm on

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 4: my couch. I'm like, this guy is a magician. Man, Like,

25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 4: how do you call this. How did he see this coming?

26
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: But we got to We went back and we found

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: the takes from the August show. We're going to revisit them.

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: That was how we were going to start the show.

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: But then late last night, something like around midnight Eastern,

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: we get a bomb. The first coaching domino has fallen.

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: John Harbow is going to continue coaching in the NFL,

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: but this time he is going to be with the

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: New York Giants, and reports are that Todd Monkin, who

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: has been the OC with him in Baltimore, is going

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: to be coming up with him.

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: Scott, I'll start with you.

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: You seen you said that it because we were talking

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: before the show and and you were like a Jackson

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Dard and all these pieces.

40
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: But that's not what you think brought him to New York. No, No,

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: it's the front four.

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: I think that is the most exciting thing about this

43
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Giants team. I think they've showed over the season that

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 3: they can really get after a quarterback. There are some

45
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: weaknesses on the back end. They've got to figure out

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: their linebacker and core. Yes, they have some tools on offense,

47
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: but Harbaugh has made it work on offense many different ways.

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: Defense is where it's at for him, and I think, man,

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: it's really gonna be hard going forward with that front

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: four to find a better front four for me. You know,

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: Seattle of course fantastic, But man, the Giants, if they

52
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: grow up a little bit and they get some help

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: on the back end, that front four can be nasty.

54
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: And with Harbaugh, you know, you never know, that defense

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: could be really scary. I could see him elevating that line,

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: like they could be discussing the talents already there.

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: These guys are young, they're hungry, they're getting after. I

58
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: think he comes in be the foundation and culture of

59
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: that whole entire locker room where we've seen him elevate

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 4: the Ravens into being he whatever he says is in stone,

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: you know, like they believe in his message. So I

62
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: think that's what the Giants had been Jason these last

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 4: couple of years, for somebody to come in and change

64
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: the entire culture and snap that mind of like, hey,

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: we're winning. And then if he brings his guy like

66
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: Todd Munkin, I mean Jackson dart Man, we just seen

67
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: Tod Munkin bring out the absolute best out of Lamar Jackson,

68
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: Like if we can get that in a year two

69
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: for Dart, Man, I don't see how he's not a

70
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: top five fantasy quarterback.

71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: Man.

72
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I for what you were saying, Scott, I thought

73
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: the Giants could have been a surprise team this year

74
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: because of that front four and the talent they had

75
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: on defense.

76
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: It didn't work, but it's still there.

77
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: And then this past season we learned that they have

78
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on We knew Malik Neighbors coming in,

79
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: but Jackson Dart showed that he is a quarterback who

80
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: belongs in this league. Hopefully Cam Skattabu can get back

81
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: to where he was a injury, but he showed it

82
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: and Todd munkin every year he was in Baltimore, they

83
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: finished top two in rushing yards.

84
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: We spun it to the Giants.

85
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Do you guys have any concerns now about Lamar in

86
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens offense with the whole new play caller. Why

87
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: do we don't know who it is as of today,

88
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a little concerning in my opinion.

89
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: Scott, take it away.

90
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: He just lost for words, man, I don't know what

91
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: Baltimore looks like without a John horrorball like. It just

92
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: feels like it's a weird NFL right now that we're

93
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: living in with no har Ball.

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: It's an exciting NFL that we're living in.

95
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: I mean, there are so many prognosticators out there saying, oh,

96
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: this is going to be the domino that falls that finally,

97
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: you know, puts the nail on the coffin for the rape.

98
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: Whatever Baba about this and that. Listen, Lamar Jackson didn't

99
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: really change the way he played too much, even with Harbaugh,

100
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: even with Monkin. I mean, he's still getting outside the pocket.

101
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 3: We saw that there was a nagging injuries this year.

102
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: He wasn't quite himself, wasn't quite able to get outside

103
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: the pocket. But the cool thing about you know, Baltimore

104
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: over the years is they've won with pocket passers, They've

105
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: won with Lamar, They've won multiple different ways. I think

106
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: that organization itself still has enough of an identity that

107
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: I don't worry too much about them.

108
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: I'm interested to see.

109
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 3: I really, I would have loved to have seen all

110
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: of a sudden, Mike Tomlin goes to Pittsburgh, That's.

111
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: What I was.

112
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: Stefanski goes, you know, I mean, goes to Baltimore. You know,

113
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: ste Fancy goes to Pittsburgh, everybody switches, someone goes to Cleveland,

114
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: and it's all three coaches still just in the same area.

115
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: But I think Baltimore knows as an organization what it is.

116
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: I think Lamar Jackson knows who he is. And I

117
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: think really it's gonna be the fit of who is

118
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 3: the new coach with Lamar and how did they gel.

119
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: I think that offense still is missing weapons, still needs

120
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: some help, but traditionally they draft really well, and you know,

121
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: if that defense can keep him in games next year.

122
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what happens with Dereck Henry. Is he

123
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: sticking around, He's he got one last go you know.

124
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: I think they're still gonna be all right.

125
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, I agree.

126
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: I think there's a number one available job right now

127
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: because anyone who comes in you get Lamar two times

128
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: could have been three time MVP in Lamar Jackson. So

129
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: that we'll talk about that plenty this offseason. But let's

130
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: get to the real fun now of it. Let's revisit

131
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: Scott's takes from the summer, and Scott, I want to start.

132
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: With the one. Look, there's a lot of good calls

133
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: on here.

134
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: The one I think was the biggest and season defining,

135
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: and I was with you on it, but I'm the credit.

136
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: Go see you here, Dree McBride over brock Bowers. And

137
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: not only were you saying to take McBride Overbauers, you

138
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: were fading brock Bowers.

139
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: I was.

140
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: And it was because of his price, it was because

141
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: of uncertainty. New quarterback Gino wasn't necessarily a guy who

142
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: really heavily relied on tight ends. Not that they necessarily

143
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: had one guy in Seattle during his tenure there.

144
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: It was just for me what I knew I was

145
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: going to.

146
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: Get out of Trey McBride versus the uncertainty of the

147
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: second year at Bowers, who has just so much talent

148
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: and next year I may be flipping them. I didn't

149
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: expect Jacoby Prisett to come in and go on a

150
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: rocket ship on a pace for seven hundred attempts over

151
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: an NFL season. I mean, if you think about it,

152
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: like that's unsustainable. So next year, you know what am

153
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: I going to do with McBride? But this year I knew,

154
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: I knew, and I gambled on taking that onesie position.

155
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: Early.

156
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: I had Trey McBride in three different leagues, and I

157
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: had him because I was willing to take that price tag,

158
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: you know, in the second, early third even in a

159
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: fourteen team, or I took him at fifteen.

160
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: I took him getting in the.

161
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: Second round in a fourteen team keeper league, and I

162
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: didn't even bat an eye because I knew I was

163
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: going to have such a strong one position dominance over

164
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: the rest of the league.

165
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: I really felt like this was going to be his year.

166
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: And the main reason for that, on top of the

167
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: offense needing to get the ball in the air a ton,

168
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: was touchdown regression.

169
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: It's something we'd have to look at. Last year, so much.

170
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: Was made of him only getting the end zone twice

171
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: and one of it was was a hand, So how

172
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: is how is he going to react to that? And

173
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: he was my title one just based on that touchdown regression.

174
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: Then you saw his receptions go up as well as

175
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: the touchdowns, and you get this really incredible season from us.

176
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: So I'm glad it all worked out, won me a chip,

177
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: me in a couple of leaks, and you know, the

178
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: bowers of it all unfortunate injury. Who knows where he

179
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 3: ends up if he's there all year long. He showed

180
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: us with one massive game that he still can just

181
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: take over an entire week.

182
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: It was massive, and then the like it was nowhere between,

183
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, like it was all floor or ceiling with Bowers.

184
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: You talk about the position advantage. McBride scored over one

185
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: hundred points more than any other tight end the biggest

186
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: gap by far more double than any other positional gap.

187
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: But look, it's it's January. We're not going to hold

188
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: you guys to this right now. But last year McBride

189
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: was the second quarterback off the board. I know you

190
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: said you took him fifteenth overall, but ADP wise, he

191
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: was like late second, early third clan. I'll start with

192
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: you next year where you come, it will take me

193
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: because he's going to be the tight end one. I

194
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: think we all agree on that.

195
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: Tight end one. We can lock that in right.

196
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: My uncertainty is the quarterback position, right because I think

197
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 4: with the rumors of the fantasy streets Boogeyman looming around

198
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: the interviews with the Cardinals, I don't know what this

199
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: dynamic of this Cardinals offense is going to be. So

200
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: ADP wise, I could still see him going in that

201
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 4: early second round because people are going to live and

202
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: remember what he just did last season with Jacoby Brissett.

203
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 4: So I think the plan is right. Get a new

204
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: quarterback in there. Kylin Murrays have a equation.

205
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: Right.

206
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 4: Let's say they bring somebody in that can elevate this

207
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 4: offense like Jacoby Brissett did, and I'm still comfortable with

208
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 4: that early second round pick. I'm not going to get

209
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 4: too crazy to saying that he's going to in the

210
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: first round, Like I don't want to put him in

211
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: that first twelve picks or first fourteen picks, like it's

212
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: one of those situations I need to have answers at

213
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 4: the quarterback position before I start putting them anywhere in

214
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: that first round.

215
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: How about say second round or for me, I'm probably

216
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: going to be off of Trey McBride next year a

217
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: little bit, just because his price is going to be

218
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: so oh hi, and for me it's less uncertainty.

219
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: Of course, I could really see Jacoby percent being the

220
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 3: quarterback of this team next year. I know that his

221
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: winning percentage was abysmal, but everything was going wrong around him.

222
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: They lose James Connor, they have a you know, rotisserie

223
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: at running back happening behind them. With Bam Knight and

224
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: de Marcado and Michael Carter. Is he on the practice team?

225
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: Is he starting? Who knows? Like all of these inconsistencies,

226
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: his number one wide receiver not being in the lineup.

227
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: Jacoby persaid, I think earned that job. And I think

228
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: if you're looking for a bridge with a new coach,

229
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: you know, or a new new scheme hopefully happening over there,

230
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 3: then you know, I think McBride's receptions will stay up.

231
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 2: But whether or not he can continue the pace that

232
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: he was on is going to be the big question.

233
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 4: Touchdowns are the big, yeah, big thing, because like when

234
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 4: Kobe said, coming in he doubled the production in touchdowns

235
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 4: for treatming Brian, it was all that regression, man, it

236
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 4: was he was so due, He was so doue and

237
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: like the creating is last year in New Orleans and

238
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: media row I interviewed. I was like, yo, how can

239
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: we get you more into the end zone? Bro, And

240
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 4: like he just kind of was like it's coming, It's

241
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: going to happen. And like more so, this season proved

242
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: that Drew Petson system works, which McBride as the number

243
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: one option. It works when you have Michael Wilson just

244
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 4: come out of nowhere. And then Marmon Harrison, I think

245
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 4: he'll come home. He battled injuries as well. But they

246
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: have the set pieces there for Drew Petson can kind

247
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 4: of draw up and design it for this offense to work.

248
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 4: So I'm with you, Scott. Like Jacoby Brissett earned that job.

249
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: I think they go into twenty six with him as

250
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 4: the week one starter, bringing the younger quarterback maybe and

251
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 4: the Anthony Richardson or somebody that I'm just saying, you

252
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 4: got Arthur Smith interviewing for the head coaching job. I mean,

253
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: I want to see some change of the culture, keep

254
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: the offense of what it is. Drew Petsing has showed

255
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: us that his system works like it's intact, that this

256
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: offense could be dangerous. They can go out there and

257
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: score points, put up yards and elevate these young players

258
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 4: so they're not being set back in their development. And

259
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: then we're looking at an all offensive we've seen the

260
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 4: last couple of years Underkyler Murray.

261
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think we're gonna see Trae mc bride

262
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: sneak up in the first round. And I just don't

263
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 3: know that I'm willing to pay that. That being said,

264
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: you know, I think the Cardinals really need to spend

265
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: this draft filling in everything else. Yeah, need, need, need, need,

266
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: need everywhere. They got to figure all that out. Jacobe

267
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: can allow them to fill the coverboard elsewhere. And Trey

268
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: is just a beast. So if he falls, if he

269
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 3: falls to me mid second round, I'll take him.

270
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm with you because I've he's been taking a lot

271
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: of him the last couple of years. But now you've

272
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: got to pay for that career year one offense that

273
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: did break out in a big way. And look, when

274
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: you were with us, Scott Michael Parson was still a Cowboy,

275
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: So after he got traded, there was a lot of like, oh,

276
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna we've been too low on the Cowboys because

277
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to throw. But before that, you came

278
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: here and you were like, Dak Prescott and George Pickens

279
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: are both going to break out. And Dak was awesome.

280
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: Pickens was even better like that. For much of the year,

281
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Pickens was the wide receiver two or three up there

282
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: with Puka and Jsins, So he was being drafted as

283
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: like a wide receiver two and giving you high end

284
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver one numbers. The question I have for you though,

285
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: because first of all, kudos on a great call.

286
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: Do you think they could do it again? Yeah?

287
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: I think that Dallas is set up to offensively have

288
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 3: to continue to sling it. They have so many needs

289
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: on defense. They're going to continue and they're gonna have consistency,

290
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: you know, in game plan, They're gonna have consistency and system,

291
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: and they're gonna have a year under their belt. I

292
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: think what they need to figure out is, you know,

293
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: the beginning of the season, CD and Pickens are both

294
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: saying we've got two ones. We've got two ones. They

295
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: have to play like two ones at all time, even

296
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: when they're not getting the ball. That was the frustrating thing.

297
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 3: Towards the end of the season. There was a couple

298
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 3: of disappearing acts from Pickens. And you can't complain because

299
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: you got so much good from him all the way

300
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: for but in the moments where they needed.

301
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: Most and he was getting a little frustrated, you could see.

302
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people that know a

303
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 3: lot more about football than I do, we're talking about

304
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 3: it in a very specific ways, you know, watching film,

305
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: watching him quit on routes, watching him kind.

306
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: Of just check out for a little bit, arguing with

307
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: Richard Sherman on social media about.

308
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: If he's continuing his routes or not.

309
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: Look that being said, I think there's a lot of

310
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 3: leftover angst from being in a system maybe sm PTSD,

311
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: from being in Pittsburgh for a couple of years and

312
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: knowing how much talent he had and not seeing the ball,

313
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: you know. But for me, I think Dallas is still

314
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: set up really well. The thing is, next year you're

315
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: gonna have to pay those same prices. A lot of

316
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: these calls were all built on the fact that I'm

317
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: looking at constantly, where's the price can I afford Trey

318
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: McBride at a onesie position a rounds two or three?

319
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: Knowing that I can wait on quarterback and I can

320
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: get the guys I had most this year. I had

321
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: Drake may on three teams and I had Dak on two,

322
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: and I was able to wait for these guys, understand

323
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: why Dak was deflated, and that really sent me along

324
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: this path of we love CD, we love George Pickens,

325
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: we don't think they have a run game, which Davonte

326
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: was a revelation that was great for him as a

327
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 3: former Bronco.

328
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: I absolutely love what he did this year.

329
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: Jake Ferguson was second in touchdown regression candidacy for me

330
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: as far as tight ends went, because he had the

331
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: same issue. It wasn't spoken about as much as Trey

332
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: McBride last season, but he had the same thing. So

333
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: if he loved all these pieces, and I did love

334
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: Ferguson as well, Dak's got to be great. So getting

335
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: Dak or getting Drake very late allowed me to take

336
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: Trey McBride take that onesie strong position, you know, early on,

337
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: and still not hurt my depth too much at the

338
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: ones where he needed the depth. So I think next year, yeah,

339
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: I think they one can keep it going. Keep in

340
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: mind we're gonna have CD there all year. And I

341
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: know people think that Pickens only went on his tear

342
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: because he was the true one and ceed was hurt.

343
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: If they can figure that out, then both of them

344
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: can go off together, which we've seen happen in plenty

345
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 3: of places, and we saw happen with them this year.

346
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: There are a couple of games where they both hit

347
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: I mean to the moon.

348
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: An act as alpha ones on that perimeter. There's no

349
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: stopping this offense, So like in drafts, like it's going

350
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: to be a constant conversation the closer we get to August,

351
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: closer we get to September, is it Pickens is a CD?

352
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 4: How high does Pickens go?

353
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: Like?

354
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: Are you willing to pay the price on Pickens? And

355
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: like I look at this as like a Pooka Akuna

356
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: DeVante Adams. This year we had both of these wide

357
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: receivers shrinks.

358
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: To side the top twelve.

359
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter which one you get. You're going to

360
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 4: get a wide receiver one for your team. And I

361
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 4: think the closer we get to.

362
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: August, I'd say it mattered which one you got. With

363
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: the Rams, well.

364
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 4: We'll say right now, hindside twenty twenty. If Adam State's healthy.

365
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: Oh he was great. But Puka is Lucas the one

366
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: on one.

367
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 4: I said that earlier, but we'll get to that later.

368
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 4: But I think at the end of the day, I'm

369
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: willing to pay the price on Pickens. I'm actually like

370
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 4: happy that most folks are looking at him like, well

371
00:16:58,680 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: he only went off from CD.

372
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: I hurt.

373
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: No, he's shown the ceilings that we were saying. The

374
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 4: talent is there. He is in the offense that is

375
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 4: the top five scoring offense, and you put him with

376
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: a quarterback like Dak Prescott, You're getting yourself a wide

377
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 4: receiver one in the second round. So is that ADP

378
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 4: going to be pick twenty?

379
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: Uh?

380
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: You know ish that old T Higgins range. I think

381
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 2: should six. That's where it should be.

382
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: You think it'll be higher, It'll be higher. It'll definitely

383
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: be higher. I'm willing to pay that price though, because

384
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 4: in the first round my strategy we talked about it.

385
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: I'm heavy wide receiver. So I'm taking somebody off the

386
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 4: board of Drake London or whatever the case may be.

387
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: If I'm in the back into that first round, early

388
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 4: second round, if I can get him at the two

389
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: three two two to a one, I'm sitting there Butter

390
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: with a wide receiver one and another wide receiver one

391
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: there with pickets with that high ceiling, I.

392
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: Think it'll be more though in that because of the

393
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: concerns of like CDs already there, I think that'll uh.

394
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: Ding him a bit.

395
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to mold a couple of these takes into

396
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: a one because they kind of So you had Josh

397
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: Jacobs in the second round, which you were very high

398
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: on Josh Jacobs as well over Kenneth Walker. You also

399
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: had you were avoiding like Montgomery Hubbard and the running

400
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: back dead zone, and then you were also fading Joe Mixon,

401
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: who was kind.

402
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: Of going in that range.

403
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: So of those players, which ones, like, which of those

404
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: calls are you like?

405
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: That's the one I nailed the best?

406
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: Actually, I gotta I gotta take accountability here. I actually

407
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 3: said I was high on the running back dead.

408
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: Zone this year. Oh okay, I'm sorry.

409
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: And that was also allowing me again when you're when

410
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 3: you're going into these drafts and you're taking Trey McBride

411
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 3: at the you know, beginning of the second or even

412
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: late second, early third, you got to know you're going

413
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 3: to take a hit somewhere.

414
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: And I was saying, man, I can find an RB two.

415
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 4: I really believe there were like six running backs that

416
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 4: you had that you were like.

417
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 3: I thought this year the running back dead zone was

418
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 3: going to actually hit. So I went against the stream

419
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: and I was like, all right, and I had a

420
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: fantastic team where I hit on everything I wanted. I

421
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 3: had Jaden Daniels and Dak Prescott, I had Tyler, I

422
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 3: had a mechag Buka, as well as George Pickens and

423
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: Nico Collins. I had Josh Jacobs as my running back,

424
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 3: but I had Walker and Montgomery and Montgomery and Charbonnay

425
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 3: and RB two crushed me. It crushed me this year.

426
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: That running back dead zone was what it always is.

427
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 3: And they call it the running back dead zone for

428
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: a reason. And if you wait in those waters, you know,

429
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: you might get chomped up. And I did this year.

430
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs I absolutely loved, though I didn't understand why

431
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 3: his price was depressed. He performs as a running back

432
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: one as a first rounder period when he's healthy, and

433
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: if you had his backup, if you had one, you

434
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 3: could go out there and you could get the same

435
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 3: stats from him. So on another team where I decided

436
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: to go, let me wait a little bit, let me

437
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: try and get RJ. Harvey because he was he was

438
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 3: one of the he was my fourth most drafted player

439
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: this year. He's a back half of the year guy

440
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: that if you could piece together RB two until he

441
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 3: was gonna finally break. And in one league I had

442
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: him and JK together. That's my RB two just kind

443
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: of I did that too, you know, And and you

444
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: could get him in eight you know JK.

445
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: And eight nine. Yeah, it was easy to pay RJ

446
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: you know five six.

447
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: So I went ahead and in the leagues where I

448
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: decided to I'm gonna I'm gonna wait it out. I'm

449
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: gonna get some rookie talent in at my running back two.

450
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get Woody Marks, Lade Henderson late like whatever

451
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: or Henderson like blew up. But yeah, you know what

452
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 3: I'm saying, like that dead zone, I was completely wrong

453
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 3: about this year. Connor Montgomery, both the Seahawks backs. They

454
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: killed a lot of people's seasons.

455
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: I was there with you on Connor, on on Walker,

456
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: on Pacheco, which is why we've talked about it. And

457
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: I know LQ is still very wide receiver heavy, but

458
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: I need one of these early running backs in the

459
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: first two rounds this year, like I need because you

460
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: even like like Jase Brown was awesome to end the year,

461
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: but the beginning of the year wasn't great. Uh, Like

462
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: Kyan Williams was kind of up and down, etn. And

463
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: these are RB ones that were taught like finish wise.

464
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: So I feel like if you could get like a

465
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: Bijon or a Gibbs or a tailor, a chan, a cook.

466
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: It's such an advantage because receivers, like we're talking about

467
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: getting pickings in like maybe late second. Yeah, that running

468
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: back dead zone comes and it comes quick.

469
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it hit us quick this year.

470
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 4: I mean I think some of the running backs that

471
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: were living outside the top ten rounds, like you have

472
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 4: the Javonte William who end of flourishing, and then you

473
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 4: have Travis Etn if we don't remember, like right before

474
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 4: the season, up into the season, we had Tank Bix,

475
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 4: b Bershaw, Dwton taking reps with the one. So like

476
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 4: I think when you look at that dead zone, I

477
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 4: try to at least focus in on some of those

478
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 4: guys that has shown us work horse ability, have shown

479
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 4: us they can at least be a high end RB two.

480
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: So I think I still want a way on the

481
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 4: running back because I feel like I can find those guys.

482
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 4: I found success finding some of these guys that live

483
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: and breathe in that dead zone. Like I walk good

484
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 4: in the dark, you know, like I'm fine, Like I'm

485
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 4: just saying, and like I feel like wide receivers to me,

486
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: I want that stability, like I like I talked about

487
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 4: it on you know last week on the episode, Like

488
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 4: there could be six to seven running backs that go

489
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 4: in the first round. I don't know if I'm willing

490
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 4: to pay for some of those guys, like some of

491
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: the guys that we talk about with Christian McCaffrey.

492
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Mcaffrey's one of them. He's going in the

493
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 2: first five.

494
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: Pick Scott, I mean, do we not know how this

495
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 4: story played out for Saquon Barkley this season? I mean

496
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 4: that's a lot of touches for someone who's playing football

497
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 4: this weekend.

498
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

499
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: The thing I will counter with is James Cook's price

500
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: is going to rise, and I think he's going to

501
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: be my next Josh Shacobs. I want to see if

502
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 3: people want to go ahead and just let James Cook

503
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: still exist in the second round, because people still kind

504
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: of don't believe in him. They see the identity of

505
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: the Bills being just Josh Allen, and you know he

506
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 3: makes it work with all these lesser pieces around it.

507
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: But follow the money. We talk about it all the time.

508
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 3: Cook got paid and he's going to be fantastic if

509
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 3: he sneaks up into the first round. He's very much

510
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: to me, like, you know, a better version of the

511
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: Chase Brown situation, which if you got Chase Brown and

512
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: you were able to get into your playoffs, you were

513
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: rewarded towards the back end of the sea, especially if

514
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: you traded for him before the trade dead.

515
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 2: There you go. I was because folks were like, oh,

516
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: he's trash. I would love to be.

517
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 3: In a league with you, because I still am going

518
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 3: running back early. I still believe in that and then

519
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 3: avoiding the dead zone and then picking up your RB

520
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 3: two later. Don't pay that round four, five, six price,

521
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 3: pay the nine, ten, eleven price and.

522
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: Take a couple of shots, and take a couple of shots.

523
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: You know, That's what I do. I'm a hero RB guy.

524
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: We're also you called chrysal Lave's breakout. We're gonna talk

525
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: more about Olave later, I do. And James Cook and

526
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: all of the mocks of the early rankings I seen,

527
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: and he's like twelve, so like he easily could be

528
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: going Jacobs. I'll take him there.

529
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: Before we wrap up your takes segment, I do want

530
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: to ask you about a couple of rookies. You were

531
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: very high on a Mecca Abuka and for the first

532
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: six weeks you look like an absolute genius.

533
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: And then you were Colson lovely and.

534
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: Over Tyler Warren and early on that was a little shaky,

535
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: but now that's starting to become a little bit more

536
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: like like Colston Lovelin is bawling out right.

537
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: Now, here's the thing, talent profile and coaching change. Got

538
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 3: to understand the system that's coming in. It wants to

539
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 3: be installed. I said at the beginning of the season,

540
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 3: Romadoonza is going to be your Tim Patrick role. When

541
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson was in Detroit, Luther Burden will eventually went

542
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: out in the aman Rau role, which which you started

543
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: to see at the end of the season, which left

544
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: DJ Moore kind of being that Jamison Williams, are we

545
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 3: going to get these big play stuff, these deep crossers

546
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 3: over the middle.

547
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: We're going to try and get him in space right.

548
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: Consistently, Laporta was always open, always there, and you know,

549
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson loves a tight end as well, and Colston

550
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 3: Lovelin was who he wanted to go get. And for me,

551
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: there was a lot of questions in Indianapolis. And when

552
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: I was with you guys, Daniel Jones hadn't been announced

553
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 3: the starter yet, so I was even more going ho

554
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 3: on Colston Lovelin. But the thing I'm loved about him

555
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: was he was a twelve thirteenth round pick, which means

556
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 3: you could pair him up with any other number of

557
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 3: tight ends.

558
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: And I say this all the time.

559
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 3: I'm a back half of the season guy more so

560
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 3: than an early season guy. I don't want a guy

561
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: to go off for six weeks of the first six

562
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: weeks of the year when everybody knows it might be

563
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: a little bit of a mirage or can't he sustain

564
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: this or whatever, and you're trying to trade him at

565
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 3: his highest value. No, let Coston Lovelin break out, which

566
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: he did from week nine on number five tight end

567
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: in the league.

568
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: And he was just getting better, Like in the playoffs

569
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: were his best And that's yeah, Like, look, you want

570
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: to win all seventeen weeks, but fifteen sixteen seventeen matter

571
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: more than anything. And I will admit I drafted him

572
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of leagues, but I jumped ship before

573
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: before the breakout because it just wasn't happening early on

574
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: and I needed that spot and I was kicking myself

575
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the year.

576
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: You can only pick one guy. You can only pick

577
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 3: one guy that you're gonna hold right. So I had

578
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: a number of teams where I've got I've got Harvey

579
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 3: who was still getting involved enough for early. You've got Anderson,

580
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: You've got Loveland, You've got Burden.

581
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: You've got to like start, you know, cutting them down.

582
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 3: But the beauty is cut him before a week where

583
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: you know they got a tough matchup, Cut him before

584
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 3: a week where you know they got to.

585
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: Buy coming up because you could pick him back up

586
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: on the.

587
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 3: Other side, fill your spot. But if you really believe

588
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 3: in him, make sure you go get him again. A

589
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 3: mechag book.

590
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: I'm really worried about him next year. Oh are you?

591
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 3: There was a lot of drops that seemed very uncharacteristic. Yeah,

592
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 3: And I'm not too sure what was happening. I know

593
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 3: we had Bridgewater throwing passes in the middle of the season.

594
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 3: I know that Mike Evans went down and all of

595
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: a sudden, a mega Buca started seeing number one coverages all.

596
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: Of these things.

597
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 3: But he made some fantastic You see the talent. You

598
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 3: see his tough catchability. He can do it on the perimeter,

599
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 3: he can do it in the middle, he can do

600
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 3: it all. He's got the complete skill set coming into

601
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: year two, he's got to figure out the drops, and

602
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: they have to figure out what that offense's identity is.

603
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 3: And they're gonna have a new OC come into play here.

604
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a lot of things happening in Tampa

605
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: that puts me in a place.

606
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: Where I have questions. If people are drafting him.

607
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 3: His first six game hype and he's going super early,

608
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm gonna have as much of him.

609
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 2: I'd love to wait, I'd love to see it depress

610
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: a little bit.

611
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be that because of how poor

612
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: the end of the season was. I think like and

613
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: you could speak like fantasy people were like they were

614
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: annoyed almost at the lack of production. And I say

615
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: a lot we put our expectations on the players and

616
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: then hold it against the players when we're wrong, and

617
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: people had high expectations for Abuca.

618
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: But we're gonna take a quick break.

619
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: You might have noticed, you know that who I'm rocking

620
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: with today, but you might have also noticed Scott is

621
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: in full Denver Broncos attire. When we come back, We're

622
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: gonna talk bills at Broncos and break down all of

623
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: the Divisional round games. We're about to get spicy, as

624
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: LQ said here on the NFL Fantasy Football Show, because

625
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: it's Bills, it is Broncos.

626
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: H So, Scott, I'm just going to open up the well.

627
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna like.

628
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: Hang up and listen, right, I want your opening thoughts

629
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: on this. It's a huge game, Bill's Broncos Divisional round

630
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: in Mile High.

631
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

632
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 3: I feel like Bills fans and Broncos fans are pretty similar. Look,

633
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: I know that we've gotten a couple of Super Bowls,

634
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 3: but we also, as a long time Bronco fan, had

635
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 3: some really embarrassing Super Bowl losses, and then we've had

636
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 3: a drought of just really really tough runs, you know,

637
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: and we were an organization that we're used to winning.

638
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: I think we set the record at one point for

639
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: most consecutive years being in the playoffs.

640
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: You know.

641
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 3: The organization has seen a shift from the bowlins to

642
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 3: our new ownership, and I think hopefully they're starting to

643
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: get it together. But I think a lot of us

644
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: have baited breath when we go into a game like this.

645
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: I was hoping to get another shot at Jackson phill

646
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: If I'm being completely I'm happy you don't. You know,

647
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: the thing is that cold, dry elevation middle of winter.

648
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: You know, that kind of thing can be a huge

649
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: bonus for home field advantage for the Broncos. But we

650
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: got the one guy coming into town who doesn't care.

651
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he just doesn't care.

652
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, big Wyoming boys, all his ears in Buffalo.

653
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 3: I mean, they don't care. They're the ones that are

654
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: usually like, come on, come to the.

655
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: Snow, right.

656
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: So for me, you know, the home field advantage is

657
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: kind of lessened a little bit when you have that

658
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: alien of a man, that quarterback coming into play who's

659
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: not daunted at all by the weather. But that being said,

660
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: you also look at the matchups and you say, okay,

661
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: what are our strengths, what are your weaknesses? Yep, And

662
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: I don't know that they match up favorably for the Broncos.

663
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: Bonix is really gonna have to take a step forward

664
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 3: to this game. The Broncos. The most important thing, I think,

665
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: in my opinion, have to win time of possession to

666
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: win this game. Something that a lot of people don't

667
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: know is Buffalo. We hear about it because we're fantasy

668
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: fans and we pay attention to it. And you see

669
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: Sean Tucker go for forty points against the Bills because

670
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: they're so terrible at run defense.

671
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo doesn't care.

672
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: They don't care because if you get a big hitter,

673
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: that just means Josh Allen's coming back on the field.

674
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 3: If they give up chunk plays, Josh Allen gets more

675
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 3: possessions right at the end of the day. And they

676
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: believe that if you give Josh Allen twelve to fourteen possessions,

677
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 3: Buffalo's going to win. The Broncos have have a hard

678
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: time sustaining drives.

679
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: At points in this season.

680
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 3: We get into third and long situations and sometimes Boje

681
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: just can't make it happen defensively, that's what you guys

682
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 3: are you want to get people. Give up chunk plays,

683
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 3: give up whatever, get your confidence up. But let's catch

684
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: you in a third and long. Let's disguise some coverage,

685
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: and let's make you make a mistake. Right, So what

686
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: we really need is RJ. Harvey and that offensive line

687
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: and Jelu McLaughlin, who's been an averager in over five yards

688
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: of carry since the beginning of December, get five to

689
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: six a play. I don't want to see huge chunk plays.

690
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 3: I want to see the Broncos sustained drives, convert touchdowns,

691
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: win time of possession. I think if they do that,

692
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 3: they've got a shot here if they don't win time

693
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: of possession. And this is a crazy stat, right, the

694
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills have given up one hundred and eighty five

695
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 3: yards plus rushing six times this year. Four of those

696
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 3: games they won time of possession. Four of those games

697
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: they won. Giving up one hundred and eighty five yards

698
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 3: rushing still win. And that's because of Josh Allen. So

699
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: let's win time of possession and see what happens. Let's

700
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 3: keep Josh Allen to eight nine possessions and.

701
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: See if we can pull this thing out.

702
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: Two Scott's points, Like I'm a big believer that styles

703
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: make fight in make fights in the NFL. And yeah,

704
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: I like so the Bills can't run stop the run

705
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: Denver since the JK. Dobbins injury hasn't been as great up.

706
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: But the other thing, even more than that is but

707
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: you guys, excel at is taking away wide receivers and

708
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: you don't have any exactly, Like, let me take it

709
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: away who is certain gonna take away Brandon Cooks? Like

710
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: so so that, but at the same point in time,

711
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, I think hit the nail on the head

712
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: this week where he was like, when the Bills lose,

713
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: they lose the turnover battles, so I think they need

714
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: to protect the ball. But LQ, this is from a

715
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: Bills fan and from a Broncos fan standpoint, So as

716
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: someone who roots for neither team, what are your expectations

717
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: in this game?

718
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: You're right, I don't.

719
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 4: Root for either team, but I go for bow Nicks

720
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 4: because it's Knicks tape season. Come on, Scott, you already

721
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 4: know which said I was going on, man, but I

722
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 4: feel like Skott hit the nail on the end. Convert

723
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 4: the third down, keep Josh Allen on the bench, keep

724
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: on on the bench all into the fourth quarter where

725
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 4: he doesn't have the ball in his hand and they're

726
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 4: comfortably with they lead or comfortably coming back. Because again

727
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 4: I told you this last week, the way y'all played Jacksonville.

728
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 4: Don't you get into a nail bier with Denver, because

729
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: folks forget that Bote Knicks has the most game winning

730
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 4: drives in the league. He is one of those clutch

731
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 4: factors everybody points to. Caleb no you better look at

732
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 4: Bo because.

733
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 5: Pocket, I'll take my chances with seventeen though. Yeah right, man,

734
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 5: look you boll get out of that pocket. He is

735
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 5: hard to contain as well. And like in the back

736
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 5: end of the season, we started seeing them legs get

737
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 5: a little bit more loose, and we started to see

738
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 5: some of the decision making where he was playing Wila

739
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 5: West Ball last year, Scott, where some of those decisions

740
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 5: like I would have threw that away. We're seeing more

741
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 5: of a condensed and more conservative boat Knicks in these

742
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 5: type of games where this is a big game man,

743
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 5: Like I I hope that hey, you guys could evern

744
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 5: the third down, run the ball.

745
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: R J.

746
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 4: Harvey is magnificent in the passing game as well. Give

747
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 4: him the checkdowns.

748
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:51,239
Speaker 3: Bo.

749
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 4: Don't take those risks rolling out of the pocket where

750
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: you're trying to hit Son or Troy Franklin or either

751
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 4: one of the twins Marvin Man's or Franklin. These are

752
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 4: going to be big factors. But I want to touch

753
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 4: on defense real quick. You guys don't have wide receivers.

754
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: All you got to do is contain Josh Allen, right,

755
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: and I know Riley Moss he gets a lot of

756
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: flak on the internet because he gives up the second

757
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 4: most yards and all this other stuff, but nobody talks

758
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 4: about how he is leading all corners in defensive backs

759
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 4: in past his defense. So you guys should be able

760
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 4: to contain Eminem and G twelve and you know the

761
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 4: analogy Eminem will be Josh Allen and then we can

762
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 4: go Obie Trice with you know, James Cook and Bizarres,

763
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 4: Donkin Kate, et cetera, et cetera. But you guys have

764
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 4: everything on the table to win this game. So I'm

765
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 4: going for Denver to come.

766
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: Out as a victory. I'm not turning a knife on you, Broy.

767
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 4: I just feel like without the wide receivers, you guys

768
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 4: only have three.

769
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 2: I actually don't think.

770
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: The wide receiver I think the wide receiver talking point

771
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: is getting hugely overblown because the Bills haven't had a

772
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: water outside of close Quit, who isn't a traditional wide

773
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: receiver like they use him almost as an extension of

774
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: the running game. That I think that talking like it matters,

775
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna be what gets talked about

776
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: all week, And what I truly think matters in this

777
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: game is who runs the ball.

778
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 2: Better. And I'm including both quarterbacks in that as.

779
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: Well, because I think if you're the Bills, you're looking

780
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: at last year's playoff game where you're like James Cook

781
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: was able to run very effectively, and you want to

782
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: try to double down on that. That is their identity

783
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: as much as they have Josh Allen. And if you're

784
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: the Broncos, you want exactly.

785
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 2: What you said.

786
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: You want those five yard plays. You want to keep

787
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: them on the sideline, win the time of possession. So

788
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: as much as the receivers are going to get talked about,

789
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: I think the running game is what decides this.

790
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and our defense has actually struggled against the running

791
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: quarterbacks this year. And you see Mariota lead the Commanders

792
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 3: to over thirty points against this vaunted Broncos.

793
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: Defense, you go, what is going on? What is going wrong?

794
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 3: You say, well, you know, the Broncos played pretty baseball game.

795
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 3: You know, we had some free runners at the end,

796
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 3: we made big plays, you know Bonito with that knockdown,

797
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: but you know we could have lost that game. And

798
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 3: you look at a very depleted Washington receiving corps in

799
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 3: that game, and it's very similar to this situation against Buffalo,

800
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: but Josh Allen is leagues ahead of Mariota, so I

801
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 3: am a little bit nervous. My hope is that vance

802
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 3: in this five to two defense. I figured out a

803
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 3: way to at least put a strong spy. We can

804
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 3: maybe pull somebody down out of the secondary. You know,

805
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: we can maybe man up and not have to worry

806
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 3: so much in the back end and let somebody just

807
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 3: really kind of hunt Allen.

808
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. And Jaquan McMillan after

809
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: your guy. Yeah, he might be your guy to shout

810
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: out to JQ.

811
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 4: By the way, his cue as guy as well, Okay,

812
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 4: shout out to him. But I think I think that

813
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 4: he will be another deciding factor in this defense of

814
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 4: keeping Josh Allen contain and then you guys don't need

815
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 4: to really pressure him.

816
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 3: He's going to be tricky though, because McMillan and Shakira

817
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 3: are going to be it's kind of going to be

818
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: he might be following Shakira, So you know, I'm tire.

819
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: Racing for certain on dalon Kin Kate. I think kind

820
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: of what they did with Chravis Melsey late in the year.

821
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 3: That's what's got me really nervous is who is you know,

822
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 3: who's gonna cover Dalton Kink? Because for great defense is

823
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 3: to be really, really great, you have to have a

824
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 3: guy who can lock up big, tight end weapons. We

825
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 3: know what our outside corners can do. We know that

826
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 3: Riley Moss is gettable, but at the same time can beasts.

827
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: And balls down. You know, but who's going to patrol

828
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 2: that interior? Right?

829
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: We had one in our Super Bowl fifty team. You

830
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 3: know a guy who can get sideline a sideline? This time,

831
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: who's it going to be if we have to pull

832
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 3: pat down?

833
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: Man?

834
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 3: You know what happens on the back end when Josh

835
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 3: gets a play to break down?

836
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 2: Can he go over the top of us? I hope not.

837
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 2: Let's you know. I'm nervous. I'm nervous, But I think

838
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a close one.

839
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a chess match because there's

840
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: so much talent on both sides, and it's just how

841
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,959
Speaker 1: you deploy that talent And like it's so Broncos Bronk

842
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: those bills is.

843
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: How we're yeh, Broncos Bills undecided.

844
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 3: I would say I told you at the beginning of

845
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: the season we are I am not a little stitious.

846
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: I am superstitious. I just wanted to say it how

847
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 3: I think it's going to play out. You know, I

848
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: think the way that we do win I explained it earlier,

849
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 3: and if we can do those things, you know, we

850
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 3: can pull it out.

851
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna say I know you don't want

852
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 2: to hear this.

853
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: As a Broncos fan, I kind of feel like you're

854
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: playing not with house money.

855
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,479
Speaker 2: I hate when people say that, but like.

856
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: Coming into the first two years with Sean Payton, it

857
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: was like all we got to get out of cap

858
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: Hell from Russell Wilson's contract. This was supposed to be

859
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: like a two year rebuild, and you guys are the

860
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: one seed in the AFC.

861
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 2: You were in the playoffs last year.

862
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: Like you're way ahead as schedule, and the future is

863
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: very very bright.

864
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

865
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we don't have a lot of

866
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 3: guys that we've got to re up at any point soon.

867
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 3: I mean, we've got some guys this year in the offseason,

868
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 3: but you know, I think this core is going to

869
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 3: be together for quite some time. And that's very exciting

870
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 3: to Pat Brian.

871
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 2: I do want to see Peyton just open up this

872
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 2: playbook just a little bit.

873
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 4: Pat Brian's going to be your X factor. Man, He's

874
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: your next He's your next too. Like I was all

875
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 4: on him all summer where I'm like, this guy can ball,

876
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 4: like he Sean Payne is looking at him. Not to

877
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 4: crash ond Michael Thomas, but he has that type of build,

878
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 4: like he has that ability like one of the catches.

879
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 4: I forget what game was in the end zone where

880
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 4: he fully extended drag foot and it's like, this guy's

881
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 4: a rookie.

882
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

883
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a part of the reason we are where

884
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: we are. Sean Payton drafted team captains, he drafted depends.

885
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: You were talking about that in the summer, yes, yes, yeah,

886
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: and we see we see it play through and pab

887
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 2: Brian for Good Morning Football.

888
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 4: I mean in his interview he said all summer he

889
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 4: was just watching Jamaar Chase, Like if he's looking and

890
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 4: studying and looking at film and seeing hisself and put

891
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 4: hisself in Jamaar Chase shoes. Yeah, Pat Brian's gonna have

892
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: a bright future.

893
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: In depth, the one takeaway I have with Denver though,

894
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: is don't draft their rookies for fans.

895
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 2: I had a high price because Sean Payton loves to.

896
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: Slow roll those like for a real NFL team it

897
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: makes sense, but for fantasy not always the best.

898
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: But it's not the only game we have on Saturday.

899
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: We have one year and dear to lq's heart because

900
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 1: he hates both of these teams. The forty nine Ers

901
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: at Seattle which we saw in week eighteen and brock

902
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 1: Perdy was just suffocated in that game. They scored three points.

903
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: Final score was thirteen to three. It was an ugly game,

904
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: but that's the kind of game that Seattle wants to play.

905
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers obviously want to play a little

906
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: bit of a higher scoring game. Scott will start with you,

907
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: do you think the forty nine ers offense can get

908
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: right against his deep.

909
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 3: No Trent Williams at the end of the year in

910
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 3: that third three game. That makes a huge difference, massive difference.

911
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 3: Party can play off schedule with the best of them

912
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: in the league. I really do believe that touchdown to

913
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey last week, late in the game when they

914
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 3: needed the most, that was his fifth option. Right, This

915
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 3: is a flow concept right coming out of the left

916
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 3: hash mark. He checks all four receivers on this flood

917
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 3: action comes back to McCaffrey, who's got a little little

918
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 3: reverse China route comes back to the inside.

919
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: Looked very much like a Cooper cup esque route.

920
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 3: Actually, he ran it. He ran it really well. And

921
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 3: you know they're Shanahan. His name is always kicked around

922
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 3: for me. He's my coach of the year. Sala is

923
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 3: probably my assistant of the year. To see what he's

924
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 3: done with that defense with all those injuries, I can't

925
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: quite count their schemes out, but they have to go

926
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 3: to Seattle. Yeah, And here's the deal man, Seattle's run

927
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: game is as much as it's terrible for fantasy players,

928
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 3: it's great for that team. Oh yeah. If they get

929
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: that thing going. If K nine and Charbonnay are both

930
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: kind of picking up four yards per carry and this

931
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 3: thing is kind of trudging down the field, that's when

932
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 3: defenses start to fall asleep. And that's when Jackson Smith

933
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 3: and Jigba goes big over the top. I don't think

934
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: a lot of people saw him being one of the

935
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 3: greatest downfield threats yeah, for this season, and that's what

936
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 3: he is. And it's partially because that offense will just

937
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 3: beat you, up beat you up beat you up and

938
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 3: then go.

939
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 2: Over the top. And so to your point, it's gonna

940
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 2: be tough.

941
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: Those two combined in week eighteen for over one hundred

942
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: and seventy rushing yards. So if they can't stop that,

943
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think they could stop.

944
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 4: Because you see it in that Rams game where you know,

945
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 4: Chris Suli doesn't care about, you know, how many yards

946
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 4: a player game, but he wants to stop the explosive place.

947
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 4: And Kenneth Walker in that game was just explosive from

948
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 4: inside the field, in between the tackles, outside the tackles.

949
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 4: That's kind of just what ken Walker is. He's an

950
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 4: explosive back. And then when you have Zach Sharboney as

951
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 4: the hammer Man, you get that run game and.

952
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: It's looking like how do we stop this?

953
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 4: Like you can't stop you know, ken Walker when he's hot,

954
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 4: and then Zach Scharbay in the red zone, it's almost

955
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 4: an automatic touchdown. So like getting in striking distance, it's

956
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 4: like it's kind of hard to stop the Sea aws Man.

957
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 3: They have to do something out of character on both

958
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 3: sides of the ball. San Francisco has to be able

959
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 3: to stop the run and one up JSN on defense

960
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 3: they're capable of doing it, but then on offense, they're

961
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 3: gonna have to play off schedule consistently, and Brock is

962
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 3: very good at it.

963
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: But minus a weapon like Kittle, you know, it's it's

964
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 2: it's got as a rails Fran.

965
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 4: We lost to basically a JV team full of you know,

966
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 4: just the thunderbolts, you know, like guys that just were

967
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 4: like de Marcus Robinson, what Kendrick Boord?

968
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: Like what are the Jake Tongus? Who are these guys?

969
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 4: And like I always give respect to Kyle Shanner, not

970
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 4: because he's my birthday.

971
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: Twing, but I don't know about this.

972
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 4: Listen, I give respect to Kyle shannan because him on

973
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 4: the sticks is like how did he even make this up?

974
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: Like Scott brought up to Christian McCaffrey, you know, touchdown,

975
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 4: everything's flooding ray. You know, you got McCaffrey coming down

976
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 4: to a gap sneakily, and then he's there available, like

977
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 4: he always puts the players in the best positions. And

978
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 4: I don't think that, you know, Seattle can go in

979
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 4: near sleeping Mac MacDonald's gonna lie on his hand with

980
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 4: Ka Shane and drawing these things up.

981
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

982
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 3: They're well coached. It doesn't matter who you put in

983
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 3: as long as they're following.

984
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 2: He will get you in position.

985
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: Yes, shine and all these players that played for Shanahan

986
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 3: tell well with Delta, I'll tell you he puts us

987
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 3: in the position to win his game is fantastic. But

988
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 3: also it's the little things, the fundamental things, you know,

989
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 3: understanding rale concept, where you're breaking it off, all of

990
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 3: these things, and and it's it's really really great, but

991
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 3: even better as that Seattle defense.

992
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 2: So do you guys think to them?

993
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: Playing Philly last week is a good Uh? I don't

994
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: want to call it a warm up, but like like

995
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: get ready, get or whatever, because Philly has a great

996
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: on paper, has a great rushing attack, they have two

997
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers that could beat you downfield instead of just

998
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: one in JSN, and they have a very physical, great

999
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 1: defense of their own.

1000
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: So part of me is like.

1001
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: I know Seattle is better than Philly, but I'm like,

1002
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: if you handled Philly, you might be able to head

1003
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: up to Seattle and also a team that you know

1004
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: even better than you know.

1005
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 4: Like looking at this, like Seattle doesn't matter to me

1006
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 4: because the forty nine Ers are undeated since twenty twenty one.

1007
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 4: That was their last loss of Seattle. Aim Seattle, like

1008
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 4: they handled them very well at their house. And again,

1009
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 4: you cannot look on the other side and have Kyle

1010
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 4: Shanean over there just sitting there grinning. Yeah, we're gonna

1011
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 4: hat you up because that's exactly what he did in

1012
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 4: the first matchup against you know, the.

1013
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: If we're giving coaches credit, though, I think Mike McDonald

1014
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: might be. If he's not the best defensive coach, he's

1015
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: he's top two back, can do it man. Yeah, like

1016
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: he is a genius.

1017
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 4: But I got the Whiners in this, So you're picking

1018
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 4: the Niners wers, winers.

1019
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: He called, who are you going with?

1020
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 3: I'm taking Hawks former AFC let's go. Let's go AFC

1021
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 3: West mate Hawks as well. I just think the Niners

1022
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 3: are too depleted. But that means potentially of.

1023
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: Rams versus one of their divisional We're gonna take a

1024
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,479
Speaker 1: break here, come back, we'll talk about the Sunday games

1025
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: here in the NFL Fantasy football shit.

1026
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: All right, Time to break down the Sunday games here.

1027
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: Start off with the AFC game Texans versus Patriots. This

1028
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: one is an interesting one, I would say, because you

1029
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: have the up and coming maybe the MVP.

1030
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: I know he's not your.

1031
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: MVP, but maybe in Drake May against a Texans defense

1032
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: that has shut down every big name quarterback that you've

1033
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: thrown their way. In fact, in like a three week span,

1034
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: they made Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes look more human

1035
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: like than I have ever seen them since they have

1036
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: broke out. So the simple question here is who has

1037
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: the advantage, Drake May or the Texans defense.

1038
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I got to give it to the Texans defense.

1039
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 4: How quickly is May going to be able to process

1040
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 4: Daniel Hunter, Will Anderson coming full speed at you. It's

1041
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 4: not just one entity coming at you.

1042
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 2: They have other.

1043
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 4: Guys on that back end can shut it down and

1044
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 4: you have no other options, Like I don't feel as

1045
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 4: though he has the strong enough core in the pass

1046
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 4: catchers to be able to get the one up, get

1047
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 4: the advantage, Like he's going to have to use his

1048
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 4: legs to get out of his pocket to convert on

1049
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 4: third down getting striking distance. They're gonna be one of

1050
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 4: these situations where this game it might not be high

1051
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 4: scoring because we know the Texans offense. They're inconsistent. There

1052
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 4: may not be a bunch of points on their sign,

1053
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 4: but they will get in striking distance and have the

1054
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 4: opportunity to get up on you, which a song will

1055
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 4: do with the Pittsburgh like, they will take the ball

1056
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,479
Speaker 4: and run away with if you get them the chance.

1057
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 4: So May has to come and locked in because this

1058
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 4: would probably be the best defense he's faced all season.

1059
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 4: And be honest, and I'm looking at this game honestly,

1060
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 4: May can impress. He can go out there and do

1061
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 4: everything he can, But if he doesn't have those other guys,

1062
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 4: the supporting cast a step up, it's going to be

1063
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 4: a long game.

1064
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1065
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 3: For me, the real difference maker could be on the

1066
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: other side of the ball. Houston's inability to get their

1067
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 3: run game going pretty frequently this year, versus the strength

1068
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 3: of what the Paget's due upfront. Christian Gonzalez is practicing today,

1069
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 3: seems like he's probably going to Nico Collins is not,

1070
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 3: and Nico Collins is going to be out. So as

1071
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 3: much as we want to talk about lack of weapons

1072
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 3: on the offensive side of the ball for the New

1073
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 3: England Patriots, it's even larger current now. I saw this

1074
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 3: team play an ugly, maybe the ugliest primetime game I've

1075
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 3: ever seen when the Texans played against the Seahawks earlier

1076
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 3: this year, and I think it's going to be a

1077
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 3: very similar situation. Nico Collins went out in the first

1078
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 3: half of that game with the concussion along the sideline.

1079
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 3: Stroud was in the game opens until the very end,

1080
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 3: and that was the beginning of the Davis Mills run,

1081
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 3: which who you know, all credit to Davis Mills.

1082
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: That man should make some money next year.

1083
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that may help you be the radar held it down,

1084
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 3: very talented and he actually played well with Nico the

1085
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 3: year before they drafted c J. Stroud, So something to

1086
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 3: keep an eye on, you know, for Dynasty folks out there.

1087
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 3: That being said, getting what he marks going against New

1088
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 3: England in New England is going to be very very difficult,

1089
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 3: which means you've now got CJ. Stroud with the newly

1090
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 3: resurgent Christian Kirk and that a bunch of young guys

1091
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,879
Speaker 3: who are all kind of same, same, same, same same

1092
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 3: to me, So can they get enough done? I am

1093
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 3: not sure they can. Whereas on the other side of

1094
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 3: the ball, you have a guy in Diggs who knows

1095
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 3: how to get open against the hardest competition, even at

1096
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 3: thirty two. Right, We've seen games this year where he's

1097
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 3: got eight, ten, twelve receptions. That's what they need out

1098
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 3: of him. They need a chain mover right once they

1099
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 3: get that going. The best deep ball thrower this season

1100
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 3: in the NFL was Drake May. If you can get

1101
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 3: his rookie receiver, if you can get Bote, if you

1102
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 3: can get Kyle Williams Boute like one of them open.

1103
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 2: Down for just one big shot, that could be it.

1104
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 3: Couple that with the fact that both of his running

1105
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 3: backs are so good in the past game and the

1106
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 3: run game. I think a lot of people sleep on Remandre.

1107
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 3: He is fantastic in the past game, and he is

1108
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 3: very good at blitz pick up. So you have this

1109
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 3: situation last week against the Chargers where you were seeing

1110
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 3: justin Herbert's packs never pick up these blitzes, these exotic stunts,

1111
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 3: all of these things that were happening that this week

1112
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 3: for the Patriots.

1113
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 2: Is going to be key.

1114
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 3: Can they can they pick up the guy who breaks

1115
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 3: through that the offensive you know, offensive line. Can they

1116
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 3: pick up a free rusher? Can they pick up blitzes?

1117
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 3: I think they can. I think the pats win. I

1118
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: think offensively, the lack of weapons for Houston is going

1119
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 3: to hurt them this game. And the thing with massively

1120
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 3: great defenses, when they win big games, you almost always

1121
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 3: pair them with a great run defense. I mean great,

1122
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 3: great running game on offense. They just don't have that

1123
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 3: right now. So, you know, I think if Drake May

1124
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 3: gets off schedule, he's got a better chance of making

1125
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 3: plays than c J.

1126
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 2: Stroud being off schedule.

1127
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with everything the both of you said,

1128
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: because I think Drake May's legs are huge in this one.

1129
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: Houston as good as they are defensively, second most yards

1130
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: for carry to quarterbacks, thirty percent of QB's.

1131
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 2: Runs go for ten or more yards against. So that's

1132
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 2: a free first down.

1133
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: And there was times on Monday, like there was one

1134
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: play where Hunter and Anderson were chasing down Aaron Rodgers

1135
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: and he had a whole bunch of and he just

1136
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: at this.

1137
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 2: Age he can't do it. Quit drapping him. But if

1138
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: that's Drake May, that's a first down, you know.

1139
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: So, and I also question if I think I think

1140
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays change it. Both offenses tend

1141
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 1: to be big play reliant, but I think the Patriots

1142
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: have a better chance of hitting.

1143
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 2: Those big plays just because I worry about c J.

1144
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,959
Speaker 1: Stroud and the weapons and everything, and I just don't

1145
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: know if Houston could score enough points to allow their

1146
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 1: d unless it's something like we saw in that fourth quarter,

1147
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: where like a pick six or fumble recovery for a touchdown.

1148
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 1: If the defense scores a touchdown, maybe that flips things

1149
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: spinning this too, because I think we all agree Patriots, right.

1150
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:02,760
Speaker 4: I want to lean Patriots for I'm going to Houston

1151
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 4: with Houston. Okay, defense has win championship.

1152
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 3: I think the Pats went in and for DFS players

1153
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 3: out there, I think Remandre Vermandre, Yeah, I think Remandre

1154
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 3: is a great play. I think, you know as much

1155
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 3: as Hunter, Henry is a little bit of security blanket

1156
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 3: for Drake may Remindre out of the backfield in this

1157
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 3: particular game. I think a lot of involves may be

1158
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 3: the key. So I would I put some chips in

1159
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 3: over spinning.

1160
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: This forward though, do you I have a ton of

1161
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 1: concerns about CJ. Stroud, Like like that rookie year was awesome,

1162
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: but the last two have been very disappointing.

1163
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 2: Is it?

1164
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't had a great old line. I

1165
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: know that play callers have changed and everything. Is it

1166
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: circumstances to you, guys, or are you concerned about c

1167
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: J Stroud?

1168
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 4: I think it's circumstances because we talked about Nick Kele's

1169
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 4: offensive Corninary. He's from the McVeigh tree, but it's not being,

1170
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 4: you know, displayed at the strongest suit of what this

1171
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 4: offense could be. But your run game.

1172
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 2: Took a step back.

1173
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 4: You have two rookie wide receivers that you're trying to

1174
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 4: develop into being essentially your every down starters because Nico Collins'

1175
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 4: injury history is not the cleanest, so you need guys

1176
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 4: to step up. I think the more that they give

1177
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 4: reps CJ will be fine next year when they get

1178
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 4: an identity of this offense because we don't really have

1179
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 4: anybody that you could point to him like, yeah, he's

1180
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 4: gonna take over the game if Nico's down there, like

1181
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 4: Christian Kirk is fine, but Christian Kirks getting up there

1182
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 4: in the age. So I think we do a whole

1183
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 4: reset and the way we evaluate this Texans offense next year,

1184
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 4: like these next couple months, the most that they make

1185
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 4: is going to have to be crucial beef of that

1186
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 4: whole line, get a running back to match with what

1187
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 4: he marks is because what he's green, I think, yeah,

1188
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 4: he's not going to be your every down back Nick

1189
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 4: Chubb at times flashes he looks good. He can get

1190
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 4: you first downs, but he's getting up. The best is behind.

1191
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 4: Like we're not getting any better in certain areas of

1192
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 4: the field. But your wide receiver Cord Tank Dell, he's

1193
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 4: on the way back. I think he's going to take

1194
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,919
Speaker 4: some time to really get back to what we knew

1195
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 4: him was. But this identity of this offense, it's non

1196
00:53:58,320 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 4: existent right now.

1197
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I think it's circumstance.

1198
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people like to go back

1199
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 3: to his time at Ohio State and say that he

1200
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 3: had three fantastic receivers, he had a room that.

1201
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 2: Was insanely talented.

1202
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 3: Sure, but what I saw from him at Ohio State

1203
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 3: being a Nebraska fan, is a guy who can stand

1204
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 3: in the pocket, who can dissect defenses, who can go

1205
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: through his progressions. It's tough to do that when you

1206
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 3: have offensive coordinator changes consistently. It's tough to do that

1207
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 3: when you have a defensive minded head coach who doesn't

1208
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 3: necessarily key in on the offense. I'm not comparing him

1209
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 3: to Burrow when I say this, but when Burrow doesn't

1210
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 3: have an offensive line in front of him, he still

1211
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 3: has the consistency of two fantastic wide receivers, of a

1212
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 3: head coach who is offensive minded, who he is in

1213
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 3: lockstep with ever since he's come into the league. Right,

1214
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 3: he understands that system, he understands alerts, he understands everywhere

1215
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 3: he has to go, and he has guys who can

1216
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 3: make it happen.

1217
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 2: Okay.

1218
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 3: C J.

1219
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 2: Stroud has never had that.

1220
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 3: He needs an offensive line and he needs consistency at

1221
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 3: play calling. I think once that happens, you're gonna be Okay.

1222
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. The Texans have to run six offensive

1223
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 3: linemen consistently, which takes another man out of your route progression.

1224
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 3: It takes another person outside of your availability to throw

1225
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 3: the ball. That is such a hindrance to any quarterback.

1226
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 3: You're running two receiver route trees, that's it.

1227
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 2: You have two places to go with the ball.

1228
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz is having to stay in and he's also

1229
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 3: slow as molasses. Like, what is at what point are

1230
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 3: we going to say everything around him may just be

1231
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 3: too much for this young man.

1232
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 2: It's circumstance for me. I think CJ. Strout is a

1233
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 2: very good quarterback.

1234
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 3: I think he is, and I think he has the

1235
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,479
Speaker 3: capability to be even better.

1236
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 2: Take a step forward.

1237
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 3: Let's get him some consistency, Let's get him some protection,

1238
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 3: and let's get him another weapon, because all of their

1239
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 3: weapons that they've been drafting are like odd facsimiles of

1240
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 3: somebody they already have, right Noel is what is kind

1241
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 3: of like a you know exactly, and then you have

1242
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 3: Hutchinson who is kind of oh, he's a Nico light.

1243
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 2: He's like, what are we doing here? I'm not sure?

1244
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 2: You know. They need guys to come in and have

1245
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 2: the identity.

1246
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 4: Seethan Haagens is literally the exact prototype of Nico cons

1247
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 4: He can kim down field and make the rumor to

1248
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 4: catches sideline eight. The development is going on pace because

1249
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 4: we've seen flashes this season for Megans and like he's

1250
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 4: another prospect where I'm like, they just drafted the exact

1251
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,879
Speaker 4: mirror of Nico Collins. But I get the thinking, though,

1252
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 4: if Nico's not there on the field, you have the

1253
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 4: same guy that can run the same routes and give

1254
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 4: you the same production once he's developed out the thinking guy.

1255
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 1: I never understood because for me, when I watched out

1256
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 1: in college, it was like, he's great except for when

1257
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: he's under like when pressure's in his face. I feel

1258
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: like that is something that gets to him. And they

1259
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: were like, you know what, We're going to continue to

1260
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: just make your O line worse and worse and worse

1261
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:50,399
Speaker 1: each year. So I don't understand that. But closing out

1262
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: the weekend, we know what his thoughts are. We're gonna

1263
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 1: get to ULQ. But Scott, I want to ask you first,

1264
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: Rams Bears. I have given LQ a lot of I've

1265
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: given him a hard time this year that Matthew Stafford

1266
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: is great except for when stuff goes wrong and the

1267
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: conditions are a factor. And go back to the Eagles

1268
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: game last year when it started snowing, they struggled.

1269
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 2: I know he's upset. I'm not yet.

1270
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: I just want to ask you, because I know what

1271
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: lq's answer is going to be. How much of a

1272
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: factor is the weather going to be in this game?

1273
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: Like is it the great neutralizer? Because I think we'd

1274
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: all agree the Rams on paper have more talent than

1275
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: the Bears.

1276
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 3: Sure, but the Bears have the single greatest home field

1277
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 3: advantage of this divisional round weekend period.

1278
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 2: Even over Seattle.

1279
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 3: We've already talked about how home field advantage is kind

1280
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 3: of neutralized in Denver because of who's coming to town,

1281
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 3: the Rams having to go to Chicago, deal with this

1282
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 3: weather and this very hungry fan base right against a

1283
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 3: man and Ben Johnson, who has coached in the same

1284
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 3: conference as these Rams for a while, right has picked

1285
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 3: the brain of Jared Goff who used to play for

1286
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 3: this Rams team. Right, he understands the ins and outs, right,

1287
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 3: And let's not that's not to say anything about I

1288
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 3: know the Bears haven't been running the ball like they

1289
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 3: did in the middle of the season in the last

1290
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, but they look very similar to the

1291
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 3: Panthers in the way that they have two backs that

1292
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 3: will come in and punish you. They have two backs

1293
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 3: that can come in and be multiple Right Manungai can

1294
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 3: catch the ball.

1295
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we already know what Swift is capable of.

1296
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 3: Is he punishing not necessarily, but he's punishing in a

1297
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 3: different way. He gets you running and you're in this

1298
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 3: cold weather and you're not used to it. What's that

1299
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 3: Rams defensive front going to look like in quarter three

1300
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 3: and quarter four against the Ben Johnson offense, who really

1301
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 3: does actually want to run the ball? People forget he

1302
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 3: made it work with two backs for years in Detroit.

1303
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 3: He wants to do the same thing here against this

1304
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 3: Rams team. Sure, maybe some of the weekends the weaknesses

1305
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 3: are on the back end, right in your corner play,

1306
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit against all these weapons that they have.

1307
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 3: But I think Ben Johnson in his mind would love

1308
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,959
Speaker 3: to just line up and run. We run and run,

1309
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 3: and if the Rams can't figure that out, this home

1310
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 3: field advantage becomes even worse. Right So, I think it's

1311
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 3: a very tricky game for the Rams. I think seeing

1312
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 3: them struggle against the Panthers twice and knowing what this

1313
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 3: Bears team is capable of, this could be the same

1314
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 3: kind of dog fight.

1315
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 2: I know.

1316
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: Teams are always going to downplay the weather, and the

1317
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: Rams are doing that right now as you have to.

1318
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: As a cold weather fan, like I'm a Bills fan,

1319
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: I've seen many warm weather city teams go in there

1320
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: and say it's not going to be a factor.

1321
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 2: You can't. We all live in La It was eighty

1322
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 2: degrees yesterday.

1323
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: You cannot simulate it is going to be potentially in

1324
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: the single digits at kickoff on Sunday night.

1325
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 2: Like you can't emulate that. How worried are you about

1326
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 2: the weather?

1327
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 4: The weather is not a factor to me, man, because

1328
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 4: we got to be honest, Matthew Stafford lived in Detroit

1329
00:59:54,600 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 4: for how many years? Like in the cold in Detroit,

1330
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about the weather for the simple fight.

1331
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: But but but, but, but but we I'm from New York,

1332
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: you're from New Jersey. We've been in LA now for

1333
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: just about as long as Matthew Stafford has. The cold

1334
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: hits me different now than it did then.

1335
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 4: We are built different because again I go back to

1336
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 4: this factor, it will come down to the key factors

1337
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 4: of losing and winning this game. Because as much as

1338
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 4: we can come back and show that we still have

1339
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 4: to fight the Falcons game I want to bring up,

1340
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 4: and then we can go out there and make the

1341
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 4: mistakes that ends up losing the game.

1342
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 2: What it's actually going.

1343
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 4: To come down to is exactly what Scott brought up.

1344
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 4: It's this dual headed backfield. You need to be able

1345
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 4: to stop Swift getting involved in the passing game. Because

1346
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 4: he will eat our linebackers apart. Nate Lamon's not going

1347
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 4: to be able to be on both sides of the field,

1348
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Kalman Nung guy, he's that hammer.

1349
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 4: He can also catch the ball. He can also punish you.

1350
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 4: It's one of those things that I pointed out last week,

1351
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 4: like we improved in not missing these tackles, the key

1352
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 4: tackles that was such a huge factor. But since Quinn

1353
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,439
Speaker 4: Lake has been now he is back now, but since

1354
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 4: he's been now in the regular season, we were missing

1355
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 4: tackles at the highest rate. So it's like one of

1356
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 4: those things. If we can complete these tackles, stop these

1357
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 4: guys from getting those extra yards, we should be able

1358
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 4: to put a cap on that run game, not completely

1359
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 4: remove it because Ben Johnson's going to attack in this

1360
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 4: cold weather.

1361
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 2: Because Caleb.

1362
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 4: I think the biggest issue with Caleb, at least for

1363
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 4: this defense is when he gets out of that pocket, yep,

1364
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 4: when he's rolling out, because we don't have the coliners

1365
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 4: that are going to be able to lock down these

1366
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 4: guys like Aroma Dunza and DJ Moore, Luther Burden, a

1367
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 4: Colston Love like the list goes on with other playmag factors.

1368
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 4: Olame is a kis so Cole comets still out here

1369
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 4: like it's one of those things where it's like there's

1370
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 4: too many mouths to feed and we don't have the

1371
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 4: secondary to sit there and say, hey, we could lock

1372
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 4: it down. So our front in the cold weather, they're

1373
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 4: gonna have to get nitty gritty. They're gonna have to

1374
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 4: get after Caleb quickly and often to not have these

1375
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 4: big plays happen. Because another thing on the off side

1376
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 4: of the ball that I want to touch on real quick.

1377
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to run the score up early because

1378
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 4: you can on this defense, we cannot let this get

1379
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 4: to the third question. They want to wait into the

1380
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 4: four quarter or four minutes left.

1381
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 3: I was just going to say this, if the Rams

1382
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 3: can get up early, it could be a little bit

1383
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 3: difficult for as that time speeds up for Caleb. Maybe

1384
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 3: a second playoff game. You listed all these names who

1385
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 3: are in their first year with Ben Johnson, who are

1386
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 3: in their second year in the league or first year

1387
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 3: in the league. What happens when things start to break down, Aw,

1388
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 3: They're going to remember their fundamentals. What we talked about

1389
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 3: with Shanahan and all those guys in his system. They

1390
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 3: know what to do on play breakdowns. They know exactly

1391
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 3: where to go to get back to the ball to

1392
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 3: give pretty a chance. Right, do these guys have some

1393
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 3: mental mistakes?

1394
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 2: Right?

1395
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 3: If the Rams can get up early and apply pressure,

1396
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 3: I see it being get up a couple of scores.

1397
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 2: See if the Bears can force it.

1398
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,959
Speaker 3: Now Klo has been great and come back mode for sure,

1399
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 3: but this is a different level. If the Rams can

1400
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 3: kind of quiet things down a little bit and get

1401
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 3: up big. However, we've seen them blow big leads. The

1402
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 3: mental game is going to come into play. That game

1403
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 3: against Seattle, of course, is going to be in the

1404
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 3: back of everybody's mind.

1405
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 2: There's a lot of stuff going on.

1406
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 3: Don't be looking forward. I'm taking the Bears in an

1407
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 3: upset this week.

1408
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 2: Oooh.

1409
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I think if the Bears are within striking distance in

1410
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 1: the second half, that crowd is going to plus.

1411
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 2: It's a tough place to kick.

1412
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: And you guys have had a lot of special teams

1413
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: issues this year.

1414
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 4: I say our kicker, ticker kicker, all right, there's a mavis.

1415
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 4: He's been accurate, only one missed this season. It's a

1416
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 4: matter of McVeigh not going for it on fourth down

1417
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 4: when we're in striking.

1418
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 2: A little bit different when you're in the Windy City.

1419
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 2: I hear you, But take those shots.

1420
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 4: I'd rather us take a shot at putting points on

1421
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 4: the board than leaving points on the table. There's no

1422
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 4: reason why last week against the Panthers, we're going forward

1423
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 4: on fourth down. Why are we going on fourth down

1424
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 4: when it has not worked? It's always bit us in

1425
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 4: the butt. And then now we're playing, Oh, let's contain them.

1426
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 4: Oh they're on the comeback. Those are points we could

1427
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 4: be already up and comfortable. It happened to Seattle the

1428
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 4: Pants game, Falcons game, even when we left points on

1429
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 4: the table.

1430
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 2: That cannot happen this game.

1431
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 3: Here's the biggest thing for me. And we've been talking

1432
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 3: about strength on strength or strength on weakness, et cetera,

1433
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 3: et cetera. The Bears defense against this Rams offense, they

1434
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 3: love to send pressure. Stafford is great against that.

1435
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:20,919
Speaker 2: Right.

1436
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 3: However, you know they live off of turnovers, Yeah, feast

1437
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 3: off of it.

1438
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:27,439
Speaker 2: Right.

1439
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 3: This is a very aggressive disremind me kind of the

1440
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 3: Saints defense when Peyton was there, when they won the

1441
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, when Sean Payton was there, They were a

1442
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 3: very attacking, downhill defense. That is what the Bears want

1443
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 3: to be. If they can get Stafford off schedule, if

1444
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 3: the weather it all affects him, you know, that's it's

1445
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 3: going to be a long day for the Rams. He

1446
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 3: can turn the ball over, yeah, and when he does,

1447
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 3: he can be a little streaky. If they can get

1448
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 3: on early, it's going to be really, really tough. And

1449
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 3: the X factor to me, actually, and this is so

1450
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 3: weird to say, is DeVante Adams if they get into

1451
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 3: the red zone easier factor.

1452
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 2: That's it.

1453
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 3: I know all these tight ends have been great, I

1454
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 3: know everything. He's your touchdown converter. If you get up big.

1455
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be on in the hands of

1456
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 3: DeVante and we'll see what happens.

1457
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 2: But like I said, I'm picking the Bears.

1458
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Bears, I know who you're picking. I'm not even asking Rams.

1459
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Rams too. But if I think

1460
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: the turnovers and a deep ball to Rome or DJ

1461
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: might flip it, I think it's gonna be a close,

1462
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 1: competitive game. But those were all of the divisional round games.

1463
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna take one more break when we come back.

1464
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at our way too early twenty twenty

1465
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: six first round mock. Welcome back. We did last week

1466
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: Scott a way too early mock where we just went

1467
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: around it. It was LQ me Marcus and we just

1468
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: made our picks like that for the first twelve. I

1469
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: will read you the twelve names. You could tell me

1470
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: what you think and who stands out. It went Pooka

1471
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Vjon Gibbs feels pretty chalky for next year. Then CMC,

1472
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: Chase Taylor, Amanro Saint Brown, JSN, Devon hn chrys O,

1473
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: lave C d Lamb and James Cook. Your boy, James

1474
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Cook went twelfth overall. So if this is how the

1475
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 1: first round shakes out next season, what stands out to you?

1476
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 3: Christal lave Celium is too high. I absolutely love the guy.

1477
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 3: He is intensely talented. He is a great relationship with

1478
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 3: Tyler Shuck. That being said, I just I don't know

1479
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 3: if he's at a place where I'm taking him over

1480
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 3: the security of a running back in round one h

1481
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 3: for me.

1482
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 2: We talked about this earlier. I still think here here

1483
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 2: are b is is huge.

1484
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 3: I think making sure you've got a solid RB two

1485
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 3: as well, Like if if this year I saw a

1486
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 3: number of guys have Cemac and Jonathan Taylor on their team. Yeah,

1487
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 3: it happened all over the place. Jonathan Taylor in the

1488
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 3: second round. Right, if there's somebody with that talent, if

1489
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 3: you take say you're You're you're on the back end

1490
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 3: of round one and uh or or you're in the

1491
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 3: middle of it and Jonathan Taylor falls to you, you

1492
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 3: come back around in the middle of a round two

1493
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 3: and you've got a Chase Brown at James Cook, like

1494
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 3: one of these guys sitting there. I'd be hard pressed

1495
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 3: to take Chris o'lave over either of them. I think

1496
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 3: Chris o'lave for me, if you get him in the

1497
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,439
Speaker 3: third grade, take him in the back half of round one,

1498
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 3: take him in the back half of round two. That's

1499
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 3: even a little bit of a stretch for me. But

1500
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 3: his injury history, he talked about it this year, he

1501
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 3: thought about retirement. Yeah, at twenty four years old. I

1502
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 3: mean that's tough, right. I love the fact that he

1503
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 3: had the season that he had. I don't know if

1504
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 3: this volume of receptions is going to come to him.

1505
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 3: I think the Saints are going to get better defensively.

1506
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 3: I think they're going to take a step and evolve

1507
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 3: as an offense. Next year, I think shuck's going to evolve,

1508
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 3: which means the ball is going to get spread around

1509
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 3: a little bit more so. A lave stands out to

1510
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 3: me there. I got ridiculed for taking a monraw at

1511
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 3: the end of round one in a league. I don't

1512
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 3: know why. Yeah, he's no idea, He's not fantastic. I

1513
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 3: know he's up there in the middle of round one.

1514
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 3: I have zero problems with that. The other guy that

1515
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 3: I'm hoping just kind of depresses a little bit as

1516
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 3: James Cook, because I do think he's going to be

1517
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 3: my target.

1518
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 2: I see him going in the second round.

1519
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 3: I would love to get him at RB two and

1520
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 3: I'd love to just laugh all the way to the bank.

1521
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 3: You know, some guys who have fallen out of round

1522
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 3: one are kind of surprising to me. But the guy

1523
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 3: that I could see not performing up to expectations next year,

1524
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 3: the last guy I'm going to look at on this

1525
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 3: list is going to be Devaughan h Him. I think

1526
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 3: he can do it all. He is a fantastic back.

1527
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 3: He proved this year he can take it inside, he

1528
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 3: can get outside. We know he can catch the ball.

1529
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 3: But we're going to have a regime change. Yeah, I'm

1530
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 3: not sure what is the running scheme going to be

1531
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,560
Speaker 3: next year. He's not going to be playing with McDaniel,

1532
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 3: who I think should not have been fired. Agree in

1533
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 3: my opinion, I think he was saddled with a general

1534
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 3: manager who made terrible move after terrible move.

1535
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 2: I think he had a quarterback.

1536
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 3: Who had injury after injury, and I think he did

1537
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 3: the best with what he had, and the fact that

1538
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 3: you still had guys just performing consistently in his offense.

1539
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 3: I don't know what that regime change is going to

1540
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 3: bring for Devon a chance, So those three guys are

1541
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 3: kind of question marks everybody else on the list.

1542
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: Sure, I do think James Cook right now is getting

1543
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: pushed up because he just won the rushing title. I

1544
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: think we'll have a whole summer where everyone's like, oh no,

1545
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: Josh is gonna steal all the touchdowns again. I could

1546
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: see him going round two. I will say I had

1547
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: Chris Olave. He won me a couple of championships. I

1548
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 1: was not the one who picked him, though, I was

1549
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: shocked to see him go here as well. Our man

1550
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: LQ is the one who took him tenth overall.

1551
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 4: I took him, and I'll say this, this will be

1552
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 4: his ceiling that I'll be taking him like I do

1553
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,640
Speaker 4: think he could be in the top five conversation. And

1554
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 4: here's why Tyler Shuck. He's shown us that he can

1555
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 4: man this offense. I mean Kelen Moore, he's putting up

1556
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 4: some great plays for him to go out there and

1557
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:51,799
Speaker 4: design and execute his ability outside the pocket with his legs,

1558
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 4: very Caleb like, very bowl like. Right, we're gonna be

1559
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 4: seeing this team have a whole new offense looking like

1560
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 4: next year win more additions to that offense. You have

1561
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 4: key pieces in Chris Olbvee, Juwan Johnson. So my take

1562
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,639
Speaker 4: is that when you have Tyler Shuck, if he takes

1563
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 4: this year or two Joe, let's say he as a

1564
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 4: Carson Wentz second year impack, we're looking at a Saints

1565
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 4: offense that's going to be in striking this is more

1566
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 4: often than not. And where are those touchdowns going to go?

1567
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 4: Because I don't think anybody that they bring in is

1568
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 4: going to be better in talent, some better in situation.

1569
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 2: Don't talk to that.

1570
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 4: We're gonna go save that for next episode. But anyway,

1571
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 4: Chris o'lbvey to me, the same way we saw Jaysn

1572
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 4: hit that elevation, have that breakout. I think we're looking

1573
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 4: at Chris o'lobby that can possibly entering that top five conversation.

1574
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 4: Touchdowns are there, the volumes there, and you have a

1575
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 4: quarterback now that seems to be consistent on base.

1576
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:42,719
Speaker 2: To be your guy.

1577
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 4: And so further notice, with an eighth overall pick, they

1578
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 4: have options to make this offense being better in the backs.

1579
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 4: The backs Kendre Miller, Devin Neil, I'm kamara. It didn't

1580
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 4: matter who they had back there. They showed some ability

1581
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 4: to have the run game, to perform at times when

1582
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 4: they needed to convert on third out.

1583
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, man, I I see what you're saying. I

1584
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if Chris Olave is actually a back

1585
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 3: end of round two pick, and I love his value there.

1586
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 3: I also wouldn't be surprised if Trey McBride is in

1587
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 3: here at that one tent.

1588
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 2: I could look at it overall, adp uh.

1589
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 3: You know just the way that the world works, you know,

1590
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 3: Seeing Trey McBride up in this top twelve, I mean,

1591
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 3: I'm assuming is this PPR full PPR yeah. I mean

1592
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,799
Speaker 3: Trey probably figures in there for a lot of people,

1593
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 3: and uh, I have a hard time taking a wide

1594
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 3: receiver at one one.

1595
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 2: It's just it's just something I have.

1596
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 4: I going to be a big Bejon guy if I

1597
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 4: I want, yeah argument, because I would be my one

1598
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 4: one that we had, you know, come.

1599
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 2: Unless Arthur Smith ends up the OC the lines and

1600
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:47,759
Speaker 2: oh boy.

01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:51,960
