1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, March sixth, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we didn't

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: write an open for this show today anyway, Well keep going.

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: It's me and your man, MG Marcus Grant, joined by

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: Michael f. Florio and La Kwan Jones. Ear, gentlemen, you

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: guys are actually face to face in studio. I'm feeling

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: sort of left out, like I have other obligations in

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: the morning that prevented me from being there when you

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: guys are. But how is it being back in the

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: building at the moment?

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: Uh, this is my first time being in in a

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: few weeks, so I kind of walked in and I

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: was like, I hope everything's the same, And luckily.

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: It's all pretty much the same, pretty much the same,

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 3: just familiar faces like Yo, hey, what's up man?

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: And catch it up? You're there, Lakwan, you're there more

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: frequently than me and Mike are this season.

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, you.

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: Have actual like in building duty. We just kind of

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: show up when we feel like it, or you know,

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: we're summoned by summoned by higher powers to be there.

22
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of the only time this time of year

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: that we actually show up. Anyway, we got a lot

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: to talk about. Free agency starts in about a week. Officially,

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: the new league year starts one week from today. That

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: is when free agency deals can officially be signed. Of course,

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: we will have the negotiating period because the league doesn't

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: like the word tampering, So we've got the negotiating period

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,919
Speaker 1: on Monday and Tuesday. Deals can officially be signed on Wednesday.

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about some of the big names that

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: we think could be moving, some names that we already

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: know aren't going anywhere. At this point, Weilsell sort to

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: do a quick combine wrap up just some of the

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: things we saw in our observations from what happened over

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: the weekend in Indianapolis. But I want to start with

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: the biggest news of the last couple of days. I

37
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: was gonna say of the day, but this actually happened

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: on Monday. But we haven't been here to talk to

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: you since then. So the Broncos have told Russell Wilson

40
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: that he will be released. It was a tumultuous two

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: years in the Mile High City for dangerous I will

42
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: stay for the record, I actually thought it was gonna

43
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: work out. I was very surprised to see how badly

44
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: it went for Russell, Wilson and Abron. Look, I know

45
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people out there with like Revision's

46
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: history who are, yeah, this is never gonna work. Russ

47
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: was always washed, And I'm like, I don't know that

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: that was the consensus. It was not at all, no, right,

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the belief was he'd go to

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: Denver again. Yes, he was not the same guy at

51
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: the end of his time in Seattle that he was,

52
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: you know when they went to the super Bowl and

53
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl. But I think most of

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: us believed that there was still something left in the tank.

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Now that that question is sort of up in the air,

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask a different question, but Flourida, I mean,

57
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: does Russ still have anything left at this point?

58
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: For first, anyone who is saying that they were adamantly

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: against this when it happened, I need to see proof.

60
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: Because everyone was on board with this. Remember it was like, oh,

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: it's Mahomes and the Chiefs gonna be able to win

62
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: the division again. That was a wave and everyone was

63
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: discounting the bad year in Seattle because of the broken

64
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: hand which Aaron Rodgers last year in Green Bay comes

65
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: to mind. Ken Russell Wilson still play. I still think

66
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: he's a starter at the NFL level. I'm not sure

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: if he's an above average starter, though at this point

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 2: I'm not in the camp of saying Russell Wilson was

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: horrible last year, but I'm also not in the camp

70
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: of that he was great. I think he was kind

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: of somewhere in the middle. I think some stats indicate

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: that he played well, but then there's like EPA. These

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: are the quarterbacks that he had a better EPA than

74
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: last year midimum two hundred attempts, Bryce Young, Sam Hall,

75
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, both Patriots quarterbacks, Josh Jobs, and Kenny Pickett.

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: That's it.

77
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: So that's not good.

78
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: He still does have the deep ball, I'll give him that.

79
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: I think he can be a type of game managing

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: quarterback that like you could win with if you have

81
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: good pieces around. I no longer think Russell Wilson is

82
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: the guy that can lift your team and carry you

83
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: to the playoffs or anything like that.

84
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: I mean to that point though, about the deep ball,

85
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: and I sawing with Dwayne McFarlane over at Fantasy Life,

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: who is incredibly smart and makes me better at this

87
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: job every time I talk to him, and he brought

88
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: up the point that teams nowadays, the way the NFL

89
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: plays defense, we see a lot more you know, too

90
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: high safeties. I mean, that was the talk about Patrick Mahomes.

91
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: Have people figured out Patrick Mahomes. They're putting two guys

92
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: back deep. They're not letting him throw the deep ball

93
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: that is becoming the norm among NFL defenses. So now

94
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: that takes away that big deep ball that we all

95
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: love from Russ right, those moonshots he would take down

96
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: the field, So that takes a big part of his

97
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: game away. He also is not the same runner that

98
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: he was earlier in his career, which you know that

99
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: happens right father time comes for us all. He doesn't

100
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: run the way he did earlier in his career. Those

101
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: were the two things that I think made Russell Wilson special.

102
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: When those aren't available to him anymore, it is naturally

103
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: going to be a struggle for him to be a

104
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: productive quarterback. I put out a poll on Twitter, which

105
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: you know, this is super scientific, so this is binding

106
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: and we know that this is going to be But

107
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: about thirty five percent of the people who responded said

108
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: that they don't think he's going to be a starting

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: quarterback next year. Dikes, I mean, Lukwon, do you I

110
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: know Florio said he thinks he'll be a starter. I

111
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: do think he's going to be a starter somewhere. Do

112
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: you believe he's going to be a starter? And where

113
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: possibly could that be?

114
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: I mean yes, I mean do we know right now?

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: Like are we knowing what the Steelers are dealing with

116
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: in the house right now? Like there's plenty of teams

117
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 3: that would love to have Russell Wilson as an upgrade

118
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: so they can have something to build off. I mean, honestly, DeLanda,

119
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: spots I got for him would be Atlanta because that

120
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: would be obviously funny for non football purposes.

121
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: But but just put out what the non football purposes are,

122
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Like you've teased it. You can't throw that conversation grenade

123
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: and walk away. Just put it out there.

124
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: Well, Sierra Baby Daddy Future is an Atlanta native, So

125
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: going there, I'm pretty sure there's some type of tension

126
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 3: and he'll being close proximity of hearing his music in

127
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: the locker room, which I think will call some friction

128
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: and some mental games, so he's not going.

129
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: To allow it.

130
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 1: Allow Russ. Russ is a rules guy. First day of camp,

131
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: no future. I just want to see future in the stands,

132
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: like wearing the colors of every other team that plays

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: the found just sitting there just you know, wearing Saints

134
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: colors and stuff.

135
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god, mental warfare during the game. But man,

136
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: I feel like if you put him with the Steelers, man,

137
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: I think that will fit his mold because you have

138
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: Author Smith over there so oc so we know they're

139
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: not going to be throwing the ball as aggressively then

140
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: you know they've done in the past. So you talk

141
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: about Russell Wilson as a game manager. Now, he doesn't

142
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: have the tools to run the ball. He doesn't have

143
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: that deep ball as much as he had before. You

144
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: need a guy that's going to come in and take

145
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: care of the ball, and that's one of the things

146
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: that he did last season. He had the fifth best

147
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: touchdown in interception ratio. I mean, you want a guy

148
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: that's going to go out there and not turn the

149
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 3: ball over a bunch of times. But when you're looking

150
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: at the Zach Wilson's, the Kenny Picketts, the mac Joneses

151
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: of the world, the Desmond Riders of the world, and

152
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: you know, you're looking at the Vikings that need a

153
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: you know, a replacement of the Kirk Cousins return from injury.

154
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: There's a lot of options where Russell Wilson going to

155
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: be a nice plug and play to elevate some of

156
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: the players that need some development, elevate some of the

157
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: veterans there that you know, on the back in their career.

158
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: So I think he could still be a starter man

159
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: because again, the word we should be using for him

160
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: is decent. Last year, he wasn't terrible, he wasn't great,

161
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: He was decent. He was a serviceable quarterback and that's

162
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: hard to find right now for some teams that are

163
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: struggling to find a quarterback.

164
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I like that you said game manager

165
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: because I think that's sort of what he is now.

166
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: Where once upon a time he was he was the

167
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: playmaker right when when the Seahawks were great. Look, Russ

168
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: was the guy who kept the line moving. I mean, look,

169
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: it definitely helped that they had Marshawn Lynch, they had

170
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: some really good receivers, but there were so many times

171
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: and I look, I can tell you this is a

172
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: forty nine er fan. I'm sure you can say it.

173
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: As a Rams fan, there were so many times you

174
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: just sat and watched and you were cursing at the

175
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: television because Russ somehow got out of a pass rush

176
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: and you know, either scrambled for a first down or

177
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: he found somebody downfield, made a play and kept the chains. Movie.

178
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody in the in the NFC West probably

179
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: has a similar story during Russell Wilson times. Those times

180
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: are gone, and and to your point, I think the

181
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: most common response that I got when I put the

182
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: question out there was Steelers, probably followed by Falcons. The

183
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: Raiders were another team that that sort of came up.

184
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: Raiders were one I could see a lot too. Yeah,

185
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: Russ could still lead, like he could still lead a

186
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: locker room, I believe. Uh.

187
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: I do think russeans to change his style of play though,

188
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 2: like he's still holding the ball for far too long. Absolutely,

189
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: I agree, and like, look, most fans are gonna look

190
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: at the amount of sacks he takes and blame the

191
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: offensive line. It's like no, no, no. This has been a

192
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson problem going all the way back to his

193
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: early Seattle days. Like he holds it too long, he

194
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: thinks he can avoid the pressure. He needs to learn

195
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: how to get the ball out of his hands quickly

196
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: and be that game managing style, because I think if

197
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: he could play how he did last year with cleaning

198
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: that up, because everyone loves to point out like, oh,

199
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: when a quarterback throws an interception, but a sack could

200
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: be a drive killing play just as much as an interception.

201
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: So range, Yeah, yeah, a lot.

202
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: There's a lot that it can do. So Russe needs

203
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: to clean up some stuff as well. But I think

204
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: if he can do that, he could still, like you

205
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: put him on the Steelers. They're they're probably be in

206
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: contention for the seven.

207
00:09:53,720 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: Seed again this year. Goals Man hashtags low. Yeah, I mean,

208
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: I think to your point though too. Also, it is

209
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: easy to, you know, point out sacks as an offensive

210
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: line issue when it oftentimes can be a quarterback issue.

211
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: It can be a problem with a guy holding the

212
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: ball too long, not getting it out quickly. Yeah, there's

213
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: there's only so long you can ask guys to offer protection,

214
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: especially against good pass rushes, especially when teams are bringing

215
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: a whole lot of potential. So I do think that's

216
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: sort of something to kind of keep in mind, I'm

217
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: sitting here on philibusterings, I'm trying to look up, you know,

218
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: longest time to throw the football, and I would guess

219
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: that rust is probably high on that list. Yeah.

220
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 3: I mean Denver's old line was pretty good last year

221
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: in my opinion. They were a top six top five

222
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 3: you know line last year in protection grade. As for PFF,

223
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: so those sacks that he was taking is on him

224
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: really have just him not.

225
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: Getting the side of it. Is like Patrick Mahomes and

226
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: Josh Allen are not the sacks the two least sex

227
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the NFL because of their O line. Like

228
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: the quarter sacks are just as much a quarterback said.

229
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: As it is an off decision making and how long

230
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: you're holding onto the ball. It was a huge thing there.

231
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: So minimum hundred and fifty drop backs, Russell Wilson had

232
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: the third highest time to throw. Uh. The only guys

233
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: who held the ball longer on average Nick Mullens and

234
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: Justin Fields Okay, the mobile Yeah right, I mean like

235
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: fields your finger like he's gonna get himself out of trouble.

236
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: Russ used to be able to do that. Can't do

237
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: that anymore.

238
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: And I really want to know what Nick Mullens, what

239
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: goes through Nick mullens head.

240
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, Nick Mullens is just like it

241
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: is probably like you know, a second and a half

242
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: of just loud screaming and they're like, I gotta get

243
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: rid of the ball. I don't do it. Four fifth

244
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: read back to the town. Yeah, So like that that

245
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: because there are things that Nick Bullins would do it.

246
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, what what were you thinking? Were you thinking

247
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: at all? Like making that really what's going on here?

248
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: That that was a lot of what happened there. But

249
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: now for the Broncos, right because they don't have Russell

250
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: Wilson anymore right now. I mean, if you know, quote unquote,

251
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: if the season started today, Jared Stidham would be their

252
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback. Florio, I don't believe Sean Payton wants

253
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: to go into the season with Jared Stidham at his

254
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. But what do they do? I mean, do

255
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: they go harden free agency? Do they try and move

256
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: up and try to get one of these guys in

257
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: the draft? What is the best course of action?

258
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: The draft? I think is one hundred percent their best

259
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: course of action. And I'm so excited for the draft now,

260
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: because we know the top three picks are all in

261
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: play to be quarterbacks, but the Giants are heavily rumored

262
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: to be in play for a quarterback, and the Falcons

263
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: depending on what happens with Kirk Cousins. But if Kirk

264
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: Cousins goes to Atlanta, then eleven, twelve, thirteen becomes the

265
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: most interesting portion of the draft. I would say, because

266
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: you have the Vikings, the Broncos, and the Raiders, you

267
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: can make a case that all three of them could

268
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: be in the market for a quarterback. So do one

269
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: of these teams try to jump the others and move

270
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: into the top ten. Do we see a trade up

271
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: something like that? But unless the Broncos are gonna be

272
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: really aggressive, they're not gonna get Kleb, Jayden Daniels, probably not,

273
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: Drake May even JJ McCarthy might be out of their

274
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: range unless they're gonna jump up.

275
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: Sounding like it, now, you got to jump up a

276
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 3: few picks to get that.

277
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: That's what it sounds. I think Bo Knicks is the guy.

278
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: I could see Sean Payton being like a veteran guy

279
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: coming out of college who would get the ball out

280
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: of his hands very quickly. Has a strong arm, could

281
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: kind of operate the offense how we're saying rush should

282
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: like you take some deep shots occasionally, but a lot

283
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: of it is just on rhythm, like on schedule, getting

284
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: the ball out of your hands quickly. Bow Knicks could

285
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: kind of do that. And and if he's sorry, if

286
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: we're not talking about bo Knicks potentially to the Broncos.

287
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: I think it's very, very very possible we could see

288
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: six quarterbacks in the first round.

289
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: I like it, so I'm I'm pulling up mock drafts

290
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: right now on NFL dot Com and looking. Lances aer

291
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Line has the Broncos trading up to number nine, trading

292
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: with the Bears getting up to number nine and taking

293
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy at that spot there. I'm curious if McCarthy's there,

294
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: just because all the hype about him in the last week,

295
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: especially post Combine. You know, I've seen people talk about

296
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: him as number one. I saw somebody put up put

297
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: out there that JJ McCarthy is their number one quarterback,

298
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,479
Speaker 1: ahead of Caleb, ahead of Drake May, ahead of Jayden Daniels.

299
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: That to me feels, yeah, a little a little wicked aggressive.

300
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: I try to find the right word aggressive. Is the

301
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: word I'm gonna land on right here.

302
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: I didn't.

303
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: I just don't really see that being the case with McCarthy.

304
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: But nine, I think that's in play.

305
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: It's in playing because the Broncos are at twelve, I mean,

306
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: how aggressive, Like they honestly really don't have draft picks,

307
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: to be honest, Like they don't have like the ample

308
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 3: amount of quantity of draft picks. But they they have

309
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: two wide receivers they've been trying to move, you know,

310
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: for some time now. So the Bears could use another

311
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: wide receiver if they don't go at nine, taking Roma Doonzay.

312
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: So you get a Courtland Sun or Jerry Judy, you

313
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: take your pick. But the Bears need weapons, They need

314
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: guys on the perimeter. They need wide receivers bad And

315
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: I think you can get a guy, you know, like

316
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: Gordon Sun and Jerry Judy if you let the Broncos

317
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: move up from twelve to nine. So that can only

318
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: be the way, honestly, for them to do anything aggressive

319
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: because they really don't have draft picks to share that

320
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: people are interested in.

321
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: For what it's worth. Bucky Brooks in his most recent

322
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: mock draft, which granted was a little over a week ago.

323
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: He's got the Broncos taking McCarthy at twelve. Charles Davis

324
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: has been taking bow knicks at twelve. So at least

325
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: it seems like most people believe they are going to

326
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: go get a quarterback in the draft, which, yeah, look,

327
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: it sort of makes sense, right, It doesn't really make

328
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: sense to go out and pay for a quarterback that

329
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: is going to be a bridge guy when right now

330
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: you're still a little ways away. I'm right. I mean,

331
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: like the the the raigning Super Bowl champs, the two

332
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: time raigning Super Bowl champs are in your division. The

333
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: Chargers have a new head coach to go along with

334
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: their franchise quarterback. The Raiders. I'm not really sure, but

335
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: the point being they're doing Broncos, they're doing things. If

336
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: you're the Broncos, I think the point is you do

337
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: have a couple of years to play with to try

338
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: and build the program, So why not get yourself a

339
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback on that that rookie deal and try to

340
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: build from there. As of this moment, as we sit

341
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: here on March sixth, recording this thing in the morning,

342
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: are there any Broncos that any of you guys are

343
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: interested in in fantasy.

344
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 3: You go first, because no, no, nope, I evans No.

345
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: Look, we were talking before the show, me and the Kwan.

346
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: I said, Jerry Judy's career ended the Steve Smith night.

347
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: At least his Bronco career ended the night that Steve

348
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: Smith eviscerated him on. As Sutton is, he's a good

349
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 2: wide receiver, but we don't know where he's gonna end

350
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: up playing as of right now, which makes it very risky. Actually,

351
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: Marvin Mims, especially since this time of year, if we

352
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: drive season, I would take a shot on Marvin Mims.

353
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: I took him in our mock draft. But like even

354
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: Javonte Williams, I'm good on. Like I think Javonte just

355
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: gets over hyped at this point by the fantasy community.

356
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: I was a Javonte guy coming out.

357
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: Of college, but such a Javonte guy.

358
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, We're multiple years into his career and he has

359
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: proven that he's just an RB two and I kind

360
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: of think that's what he is.

361
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: He got the chance. I'm still I'm not I'm not

362
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: letting go. And the fact that the fact is, the

363
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: fact is that the draft price is going to be

364
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: decent on him. He's not gonna have to pay up

365
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: to get Javonte Williams. No, you know, I just I

366
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: just need for Ryan to calm down a little bit.

367
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: Does look like it's gonna happen, because I literally was

368
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: just looking at their numbers. Man, they literally split the

369
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: entire targets, you know, out of the backfield. So there's

370
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: not much PPR upside. We could chase with the reason

371
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: for Javonte Williams, but like you said, his price is

372
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: going to be decent to where I can get him

373
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: as my RB three.

374
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: Maybe things will change, maybe things will go more where

375
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: he'll take a workload because he was returning back from

376
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: injury as well, so they kind of probably slowed down

377
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: the space and I think, you know more so he

378
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 3: wasn't fully recovered, so that could have been why SOMEMANJ. P.

379
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 3: Ryan played so much. I mean their targets. Williams had

380
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: fifty eight, Pan had fifty six. Like pick a running

381
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: back you want to target to. But we know Sean

382
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 3: Payton likes throwing to his running backs because his time

383
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: in New Orleans.

384
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: So no team did it more last year than Denver,

385
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: which is why, like when we talk for agents, I

386
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: have a certain running back that I want to go there.

387
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 2: But uh my thing is like, if Davontae can't shake

388
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: Samaj p Ryan, it probably says some stuff about Javonte Williams.

389
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: Come on, I mean that's kind of harsh.

390
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 4: I mean, I just la la la la la la,

391
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 4: Like I don't but I just know that I remember

392
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 4: I had a sad when the Broncos drafted him because

393
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 4: they had Melvin Gordon and so that that made me

394
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: sort of sad.

395
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: And you know, Adam Rank tried to kind of talk

396
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: me down off the ledge and kind of got me

397
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: to buy in a little bit. Then, as you mentioned,

398
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: Lakwani did have the major injury. So I'm not I

399
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: think I'm realizing that he's not going to be the

400
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: back that I hoped he would be coming out of college.

401
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: But I still want more for him. I still believe

402
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: there's more there. But but at some point it's got

403
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: a show. I mean, he's going to be twenty four

404
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: coming up in in about six weeks or so, you know,

405
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: he will be on his fourth season in the NFL,

406
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: So at some point, like you know, it's got to happen.

407
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: For why does this sound like Royce Freeman.

408
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: I was never in, but I was never in on

409
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: those guys the way I was in on Javonte Williams.

410
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: So maybe this is just not maybe not wanting to

411
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: let go of my priors. I get admit to that,

412
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: but I still hope for better.

413
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: Last point on Rusto and Marcus. As a baseball guy,

414
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 2: you can you can attest to this, like any team

415
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: that signs Russ, the Broncos are paying whatever. Yeah, so

416
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: I've seen people be like, oh, well, the NFL is

417
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 2: not gonna They're not like that. They don't want to

418
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: let the Broncos be caught holding the bag because one

419
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: day it could be them. If I'm Russell Wilson, I'm

420
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: going to baseball route and I'm signing for the veteran

421
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: minimum with my new team, and I'm saying I'm getting

422
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: paid either way, use that money to build around me.

423
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's going to make Russ very attractive

424
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams, knowing that you don't have

425
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: to pay him a whole lot. I think Lindsay Rhodes,

426
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: formerly of NFL Network, was the first two point out

427
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: that the Broncos moved on from Russ. They're not even

428
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten into the actual contract yet, Like they

429
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: haven't had a money contract yet and they've already moved

430
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: on from Russ. That's how bad things were. So yeah, no,

431
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: I think any team's gonna at least kick the tires

432
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: because the cost is going to be it's going to

433
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: be really low.

434
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: I'd pay him a dollars and be like, Broncos, you

435
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: got the other thirty eight, We're gonna spend that.

436
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: On Team bet Let's do it. Let's go run it

437
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: for real. So anyway, that's that was the big news

438
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: of the day. We'll certainly keep an eye out on

439
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: where Russ land. That's going to be very interesting and

440
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: seeing what the Broncos decide to do in the next

441
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: few weeks to a couple months at the quarterback position.

442
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: There take a break, we're going to dive into free

443
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: agency because a week from now we're gonna have a

444
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: whole lot of names changing teams. We're gonna have some

445
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: names that aren't changing teams as well. We'll talk about

446
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: that more on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. So about

447
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: a week from now, we will be talking about player movement.

448
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: In fact, we'll actually be talking about it probably on

449
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday, because that's when the negotiating period happens,

450
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: and that's when we'll start getting all these reports of

451
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: so and so agreeing to such and such deal with

452
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: this and that team. But on Wednesday, March thirteenth is

453
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: when these deals can officially be signed as the start

454
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: of the new year. Some news that we already know

455
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: about that it's sort of worth kicking around. Mike Evans

456
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: and the Bucks. They keep their deal going two years,

457
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: fifty two million dollars for Mike Evans.

458
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer.

459
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: I think he is they I mean I saw it.

460
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: I mean I saw someone out there, you know, making that,

461
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, asking the question, and I think kind of

462
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: playing Devil's advocate, But I think, you know, what, is it?

463
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: Ten one thousand yard seasons to start his career. That's

464
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame worthy. That's all the fame work stands

465
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: to me as far as I'm concerned. And last year

466
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: maybe arguably being his the best year of his career.

467
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: Maybe not statistically, but in terms of just overall play

468
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: might have been the best year of his career. The

469
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: Colts are going to use the non exclusive franchise tag

470
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: on Michael Pittman Juniors so he does have the opportunity

471
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: to go out and negotiate deals with other teams, but

472
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: the Colts will have the first round of refusal, a

473
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: chance to match and keep him in Indianapolis. That went

474
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: not a big surprise. I felt like his best shot

475
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: was to go back to Indianapolis. And I think the

476
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: Colts agree, Especially you got a young quarterback in Anthony

477
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: Richardson that you want to value.

478
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 3: They're gonna let him negotiate to see what number comes back,

479
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: what it is. They don't really have an actual value

480
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: in their head for him. I mean I didn't either

481
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 3: when I went to go look at his numbers and

482
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 3: compare another wide receivers. I guess you can give him

483
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 3: a Christian Kirk type ordeal like Kirk personally. Yeah, I mean,

484
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 3: like I don't know, like it's a mystery here it is.

485
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: But I think, and I think if you're the Colts,

486
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that you compare him necessarily to other

487
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: receivers statistically. I think the value is what he means

488
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: to your team, specifically what you're building right now. But

489
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: you're building what he's given you the first couple of years,

490
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: in the first few years in the league, and the

491
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: fact that, as I mentioned, they've got a young quarterback

492
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: that they are sort of trying to build around. You

493
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: want to know that he's got a regular, consistent play

494
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: making target to get the football too. So I think

495
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: that that, more than anything, gives him some value to Indianapolis.

496
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: And so I think, but I think you're right. They're

497
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 1: gonna let him go out sort of test the market,

498
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: see what sort of numbers, come back to see how

499
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: the rest of the league values Michael Pittman, and then

500
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: they can make a deal accordingly and ideal if you're

501
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: indian it is a multi year deal. It's not just

502
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: a one year thing. You're bringing it back for a

503
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: few years. You got to be a four year banger,

504
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: you would think so, you would think so. Last bit

505
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: of free agency news, the Giants say they will not

506
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: use the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley. There was a

507
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: little bit of chatter last week and maybe they could

508
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: do it again, but it appears that they will not

509
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: do that. So Saquon is going to be a free agent.

510
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: You know, there, I'm sure will be suitors.

511
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: I know.

512
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: You know, running backs don't necessarily get paid the way

513
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: they used to but I would think a guy like Saquon,

514
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: especially considering the draft class, is not all that exciting

515
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. Uhquon is certainly gonna have

516
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: offers when he hits free agency. Why to get back though,

517
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: to wide receivers because it's interesting in terms of who's

518
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: available in free agency. It's interesting in who's going to

519
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: be available via the draft because they've been the talk

520
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: of the draft season so far the wide receiver position.

521
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: The top guys on the board after Mike Evans and

522
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman have ostensibly been locked up. Calvin Ridley, Markus Brown,

523
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, Tyler Boyd. Those are the top names as

524
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: far as I was concerned for you guys. And I'll

525
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: start with you, Florio. Who is your top wide receiver

526
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: available and do you have a preferred landing spot for them?

527
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley is I would say, head and shoulders the

528
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: best wide receiver in this class. And if you guys

529
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: listen to the podcast at all last year, it's no surprise.

530
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 2: I'm I am a Calvin Ridley believer. I know he

531
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: disappointed last year, but shout out to a good friend

532
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: of yours, Marcus in front of the show Matt Harmon.

533
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: I was reading Reception Perception yesterday on Calvin Ridley, and

534
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: it pointed out a lot of really good things that like,

535
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: he can still get opened against zone, he could still

536
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 2: get open against man. He did struggle against press, but

537
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: the type of routes that they were asking him to

538
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: run were very, very difficult. And anyone who had Calvin

539
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 2: Ridley in fantasy last year can attest to how it was. Basically,

540
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: and I joked about it on Twitter. Every week, every

541
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 2: single game was a game of is Calvin Ridley going

542
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: to make an amazing touchdown catcher not? Because that seemingly

543
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: what he had to try to do each and every week.

544
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: I still think, look, I'm not gonna I think the

545
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: expectations last year were a little too lofty, and that's

546
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: on me and other people who put him very high

547
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: expectations on him.

548
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, let's be real. But let's let's also be real,

549
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: right because part of it was he had that that

550
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: article he wrote in the Player's Tribune where he was

551
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: like fourteen hundred yards. We were all like, yep, let's

552
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: go yep. He definitely sold this.

553
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: I bought in this one might be a little bit

554
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: of a surprise. My favorite life spot Arizona Cardinals, because

555
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: I think they're going to take either Neighbors or Marvin

556
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 2: Harrison at four and then we're talking about Calvin Ridley

557
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: not having to be that X and getting to do

558
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 2: what he did in Atlanta, which is play some in

559
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 2: the X, some in the flanker, move him all over

560
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: the field, and Marvin Harrison Neighbors they could do the

561
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: same thing. So now and then we're talking about a

562
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: one two punch for Kyler Murray to go with Trey McBride.

563
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: That Cardinals offense could immediately become one of the most

564
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: fun for real life purposes and for fantasy purposes. There's

565
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: there's a few other landing spots I like, but that

566
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: was one that I was thinking on last night and

567
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: I was like, I think this would be the most.

568
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: Fun interesting for Calvin Ridley. And I don't know that

569
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's the guy that I love most

570
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: in free agency. I think he's the guy that's probably

571
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: gonna get the biggest contract out there of all these guys.

572
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: But I did think the Jets could be an interesting

573
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: spot for him. Yeah, pair him up with Garrett Wilson,

574
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: because we know Garrett Wilson is a stud, right, I

575
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: mean we saw we saw what Garrett Wilson did last

576
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: year with bad quarterback play, and now the hope is

577
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is something close to healthy. Yes, he's going

578
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: to be forty years old, but a forty year old

579
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is still better than anybody else. The Jets

580
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: ran out there quarterback last year. You give him a

581
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: running mate on the other side, like Calvin Ridley with

582
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: Breisee Hall in the backfield. You know, I know you

583
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: don't like to think about this Flooryo. That offense is

584
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: really scary, always guys running together. Potentially, I think that'd

585
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: be great, and it takes the pressure off of him

586
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: to have to be that number one guy to carry

587
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: that offense, because you know, when it comes to it,

588
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson can be that guy. Galvin Ridley has a

589
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: solid number. We saw when he was the number two

590
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: with Julio Jones early in his career in Atlanta. You

591
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: make him the number two guy with Garrett Wilson, that's

592
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: potentially deadly. Yeah.

593
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: I actually haven't heard that though. With the Jets. I'm

594
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: actually starting to think of my mind like that could

595
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 3: really work, they can kill it in the draft and

596
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: then bring on a guy that can this offensive spark.

597
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: I like it.

598
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh ELQ, was there a name that of these

599
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers that you like the most and a landing

600
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: spot you got?

601
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: I was gonna say Calvin Ridley. He probably has my

602
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: most attention right now, but I can see people not

603
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: really wanting to target him regardless of where he lands.

604
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 3: Just some people just have a bad taste in their

605
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 3: mouth because like we can talk about like the hype

606
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: was crazy because in me as a as an owner

607
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: that Adam last year man, like I would say, like

608
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 3: I was a little upset that on the return, but

609
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: you kind of had to accept it in a way

610
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 3: because it was just like he was still the unknown,

611
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 3: Like we were just hyped off of the unknown. This

612
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: guy haven't played football in so long, so you know

613
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: you kind of have to take that to the chin.

614
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 3: Because his hives were really good and when he put

615
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: up twenty points, but then the following week it'll be

616
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 3: six points, and then following that week it'll be a

617
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: single digit number of like one. So I get the

618
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: people's frustration, and I think the landing spot for him

619
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: will matter the most for him not to be the

620
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: number one or a clear notion as a number one,

621
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 3: because Christian Kirk was the number one in Jacksonville, to

622
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: be honest.

623
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: And he was the number one in volume mea in responsibility,

624
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: I would argue its Calvin Ridley definitely.

625
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: So it was just kind of like there was still

626
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 3: some unknown there who's doing what and who was who?

627
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 3: So if he goes there with a big number one,

628
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: and he goes there like maybe Tennessee like with Man

629
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: please please.

630
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: He might as well just I don't know, go out's pasture,

631
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: like just no, it's a new regime. It's a new

632
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: who's throwing the ball though, Like I mean, that's the problem.

633
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: Who's throwing the.

634
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: Ball into Man Levis who's throwing the ball intennes c

635
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: right now? Like I said, man.

636
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: As the Calvin Ridley guy, I will I think, yes,

637
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: we put two lofty expectations on him, and he's the

638
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: one taking the bulk of the blame. But Fevor Lawrence

639
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: was supposed to to be this franchise quarterback and he

640
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: did not take the next steps that we thought. Plus uh,

641
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: and this is this is something that I talked about

642
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: in season a bit and I think I did a

643
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: bad job of having two hive expectations early on. But

644
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: he was better the second half of the year than

645
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: he was the first half of the year. And I

646
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: think we'd all kind of expected Calvin Ridley to hit

647
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: the ground running, and it's like, hey, you can only

648
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: prepare so much for live reps and stuff like that,

649
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: and two years out of the league is gonna take

650
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: some time to get back into that shape. So I

651
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: think with a normal offseason, maybe next season could be

652
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: even better than this year was.

653
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair.

654
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be cheaper for me.

655
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: And I feel like, you know, we are obligated to

656
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 1: do this as a fantasy football show. But the Marquis

657
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: Brown of the Chiefs, because we got we got we

658
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: have to we have to promote somebody to the Chiefs, right,

659
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, at first it was Mike Evans, but he's

660
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. We wouldn't be doing our due diligence

661
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: if we didn't suggest that one of these wide receivers

662
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: goes to Kansas City. And I really do think Marquis

663
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: Brown in Kansas City could be bananas.

664
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 3: I'm surprised I didn't hear Gabe Davis from you, Mike.

665
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: I was gonna said, they're gonna bring in Gabe Davis

666
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: and he's gonna be the new MVSA.

667
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: He can be MVS.

668
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: He's gonna be in the biggest op of possibly vs.

669
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: Big in the postseason. So I mean, you know, we laugh.

670
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: But you can make fun of Gabe Davis all you want.

671
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey, Tyreek Hill, no one has the best receiving

672
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: game in Arrowhead in the Patrick Mahomes era is game

673
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: Davis two hundred yards, four touchdown game.

674
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what this feels like. So I'm uh,

675
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, because I am an old. That feels like

676
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: there was there was a picture in Major League Baseball

677
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: guy named Mark Portugal and uh played for the Astros

678
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: for a while and when they would play the San

679
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: Francisco Giants, he would just shove. He would shove it

680
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: down their throats every single time. So when he finally

681
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: hit free agency, the Giants like, you know what, we're

682
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna go get Mark Portugal. And he was terrible. The

683
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: Giants just awful. That's what this feels like, right, This

684
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: feels like a Mark Portugal situation. The Chiefs are like,

685
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 1: man gave Davis. Let us up here at arrowhead man,

686
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: we should get him. And then they're like, oh, the

687
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: other sixteen games of the years.

688
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: Truly, how Bill Belichick signs free agents like it's no

689
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: coincidence that every player they signed happens to have a

690
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: good game against the Patriots.

691
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: Come over and do that.

692
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, good game game against us. Here's a bunch

693
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: of money.

694
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of money to do nothing. Yeah, come on,

695
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: come right in. Yeah, I you know, I mean, Gave

696
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: Davis is going to get some some interest. I saw

697
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: some Jaguars fans suggesting that maybe their team was going

698
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: to talk about it now that they weren't excited about it.

699
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: They were just putting out there that the Jaguars seem

700
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: to have an interest in Gabe Davis, and they weren't

701
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: all that thrilled about it. But he will get some

702
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: interest from somewhere. You think it's look if they because

703
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: it sounds here's it sounds like the Jaguars are prepared

704
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: to lose Calvin Ridley. I don't think they believe they're

705
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: going to be able to afford him with what he's

706
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: going to command around the league. So I don't know,

707
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: Gave Davis. Maybe the guy who slides in there, come

708
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: on down.

709
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 2: Dave Davis is making his own case on Instagram. It's like,

710
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: that's no way. He's like tweeting Legit Analytics. He's posting,

711
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: and I'm like that that's not a good sign.

712
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: Oh man, all right, Well, next day he's gonna he's

713
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna fill out an indeed resume too. Right, let's move

714
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: on to running backs because there are some interesting names.

715
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a very top heavy list at

716
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: running back. Yeah, and then after a certain point there's

717
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: a pretty big drop off. But the top guys, at

718
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: least for me, Dereck Henry, Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley, Tony Pollard,

719
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler, Lakwan please rank them for me.

720
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs, Barkley, Henry Eckler, Tony Pollard. In my emotion there,

721
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: I feel like Tony poll is gonna go somewhere bored.

722
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 3: I tweeted this the other day like it's gonna be

723
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: somewhere boring, it's gonna be nasty where it's probably gonna

724
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 3: be New England or something like that, where it just

725
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 3: why did you do that? But I think Josh Jacobs

726
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 3: is probably the biggest target right now on the market

727
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 3: right now that people should be really like entertaining. He

728
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: might not leave, you know, the Vegas, but I really

729
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 3: feel like teams should just go out there and make

730
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: an offer because man, you look at his last year,

731
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: people are gonna be like, oh, well it was down

732
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: he got injured, But it was the similar as the

733
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 3: situation to Saquon Barkley really, where like he got tagged,

734
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 3: he refused to sign it and got a one year deal,

735
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 3: Like dude, I'm not gonna risk injury. Like these these

736
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: situations here do matter when we're looking at some of

737
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 3: these players and look at their last year notes. But

738
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 3: I mean, didn't have the best Fantasy finished RB eighteen.

739
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 3: But I really feel as though Josh Jacobs can change

740
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: and elevate a team that is a running back away man.

741
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: I could say for me, Saquan's my number one in

742
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: this group because I think he sort of combines the

743
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: best of all of these guys, right. He gives you

744
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: the past catching ability of a Pollard or an Eckler.

745
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: He gives you that power running ability that you get

746
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: from a Derrick Henry or a Josh Jacobs. You know

747
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: health has been an issue off and on for him

748
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: over the last few years, but he also has been

749
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: behind an offensive line that didn't do him any favors.

750
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: My thought, my goal would be to have him come

751
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles play for the Chargers, moving in a

752
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: Greg Roman Jim Harbaugh offense that is going to run

753
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: the ball. They can throw it to him. They know

754
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: that he could be an effective pass catcher out of

755
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: the backfield, to pair up with Justin Herbert back there

756
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: they've got. You know, we'll see whatch of their receivers.

757
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: You know they stick around with. If it's Keenan Allen,

758
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: if it's Mike Williams, presume it's going to be Keenan Allen.

759
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: I think that's the beginnings of something there. Because the

760
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: Chargers are I don't think they're far away. They have

761
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: some holes defensively that they really got to figure out. Yeah,

762
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're far away. But I think

763
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: Saquon gets them one big step closer to being a

764
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,959
Speaker 1: playoff team. I do. Yeah.

765
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 2: I think for everything that you said, like one, he

766
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: still has the best like the highest percentage of runs

767
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: go for ten plus yards. He's also was like the

768
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 2: highest rated receiver of this bunch, so I agree at

769
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: number two. I look, I think the NFL is going

770
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 2: to agree with Lakwan. I think they're gonna rank Josh

771
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: Shacobs the highest because he's the youngest. I'd rather Derreck

772
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: Henry still at this point in their careers, Derek Henry

773
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 2: still is the most high end speed of all five.

774
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: Of these running backs. Is there anywhere but Baltimore that

775
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: you see him going.

776
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: I had two teams for Derrick Henry and I went

777
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: back and forth on them, the Ravens and the Cowboys,

778
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 2: because I think it would be very Jerry.

779
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: Very Jarah to go out and sign Derrick Henry one

780
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent would be Jerry Jones like to sign Derek

781
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: that's a big money, multi year deal too, Like it

782
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: would it would be it would be like a huh

783
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: sort of deal when we saw it, Like I could

784
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: totally see that happening. I never thought about the Cowboys,

785
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: but I really do think the Ravens are gonna come calling.

786
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: I just don't see how they don't and bring him

787
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: in just because of the state of the position, even

788
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: though there're some interesting names out there. Do you think

789
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna see some of these guys go early, or

790
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: is it gonna be that we have to wait? I

791
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: think it was he was Dave Klugi who put out

792
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: reminded me that this time last year, we're like, oh, yeah, no,

793
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournet's gonna get signed, Like he's gonna get signed early,

794
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: and we'll figure we don't know where he's going to go,

795
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: but certainly Leonard Fournete's going to get a job, right,

796
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: And we waited a long time. We were well into

797
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: the season before Leonard Fournette finally got a job. I'm

798
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: not suggesting something like that with any of these guys,

799
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: but I mean, is it gonna be that we you know,

800
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: we see a whole lot of other signings before any

801
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: of these running backs start getting going.

802
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 2: I think we'll see Saquon Son pretty early. Josh Jacobs

803
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: because again I think that, like Lakwan said, I think

804
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: the NFL is gonna say he's young, he can do

805
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: a little bit of each. Although my beef with Josh

806
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: Jacobs is when you look at now his five years

807
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 2: in the NFL two years ago, is the anomaly like

808
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: that that huge career year is the one that clearly

809
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 2: stands out, like that's the one that's different than the

810
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: paid Yeah. Yeah, and didn't work out for him unfortunately.

811
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: But Derek Henry I could see signing early. I think

812
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: Pollard and Eckler are the two that could be left

813
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 2: hanging around.

814
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I was gonna say Poler would probably

815
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: be a last to get signed because I don't know

816
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 3: where he fits right now.

817
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Eckler sadly is going to be hanging

818
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: out for a while. I think, you know, last year

819
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 1: didn't do him any favors, and it wasn't his fault.

820
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he got hurt early in the season. It

821
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: feels like he kind of rushed himself back and was

822
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: never totally right and that completely impacted what his production

823
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: was going to be. So I think unfortunately he had

824
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: a bad, injury plagued year at the worst possible time

825
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: for him career wise. And so I think that's gonna,

826
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna.

827
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: We're talking about it now, But that does not get

828
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 2: talked about, and everyone just trade saw Sin Eckler like

829
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: he fell off a cliff this year, and maybe he did.

830
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 2: Look he's approaching twenty nine years old. That I understand

831
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 2: the concerns. Why I think he's probably going to be

832
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 2: left hanging around a little bit. But yeah, he also one.

833
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 2: So for the high ankle's frame went on, I R

834
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 2: like you said, the burst and everything as a runner

835
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 2: was gone. He was still, though, the best receiving running

836
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: back of these five. So I do think he can

837
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: at least be a player that you could pigeonhole into

838
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 2: a specific role and he can help your team, which

839
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 2: is why I want him on the Denver Broncos because

840
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: could just draw up one hundred targets for Austin?

841
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: Could he really could?

842
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: That?

843
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: That would be spicy. I would be totally on board

844
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: with with something like that. If Austin Eckler went to Denver,

845
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: then I would have to, you know, hang up the

846
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: hat for would just have to, Hey, bro, we tried, man,

847
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: It's just it's just not gonna happen. So yeah, that's

848
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: that's what I want to do there. Uh, of these

849
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: guys that we didn't talk about, Lakwan, is there a

850
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: player or team that you would most like to see? Like,

851
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: what is the what is the connection? If you could

852
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: play matchmaker here, who would you connect here in free

853
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: agent and see?

854
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 3: Give me Saquon to the Texans man I love joining

855
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: that train man because that will elevate that offense to

856
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 3: a powerhouse of the AFC. Like you will have to

857
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 3: have them in the same conversation as the Chiefs, as

858
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 3: the Ravens and the Bills, because the Texans are really

859
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: moving and grooving right now on an offense and they

860
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 3: need a running back. It's clearly they're a running back away.

861
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 3: Devin Singletary was there. He was a serviceable running back,

862
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 3: but he doesn't move the needle to get this offense

863
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 3: to be a powerhouse that they could be. The running

864
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 3: game will be great with him. You could do a

865
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 3: little bit of him out of the backfield. But you

866
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 3: have the draft still to get some depth on that

867
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 3: old line because you know, the old line fell apart,

868
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 3: you know, with injury and stuff like that. Get some

869
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: young guys in there that can block, and you get

870
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 3: the running game going with Saquon and you get c J. Stroud,

871
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 3: Tank Dell and Nico Collins. Oh Dalon Schultz is back

872
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: in the building to be a servicebale tight end. You

873
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 3: have options for CJ. Strout and his offense to really

874
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 3: take it to the movement.

875
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: M all right. I like that, even though I you

876
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: know want Saquon in Los Angeles, but I can, I

877
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: can do you do you have a pairing that you

878
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: would like? Uh?

879
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 2: Sake one to the Texans was was my favorite one,

880
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: I think because I had Henry to the Ravens. So

881
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 2: I put Josh Jacobs to the Chargers because no matter

882
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: who the Chargers get, I want to see them have

883
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: a dual threat guy because I think that's their their

884
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: offense is going to heavily run through the running back.

885
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: To me, the most difficult pairing that I had was

886
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard. I was sitting and I ended up writing

887
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 2: Cowboys because I was like, if if the Cowboys don't

888
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: get one of these other running backs, like I if Tony,

889
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 2: like you said, Tony Pollard could end up somewhere ugly,

890
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: and it could be and he won't have that uh

891
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: the team backing him being like, Okay, we've invested a

892
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 2: lot into this guy, like he's just a guy that

893
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 2: they signed off the street. I was also considering Philly

894
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: for him, but I think DeAndre Swift returning to Philly

895
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: is probably best case scenario.

896
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 3: Yeah for him, absolutely, But.

897
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 2: Fellas we have some some pre agent making news.

898
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah man, Yeah, Zach Ertz signing a deal with the

899
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: Commanders one year up to five million dollars. This, according

900
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: to Tom Pelasero, it reunites zach Ertz and Cliff Kingsbury

901
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: and they worked together with the Arizona Cardinals for a

902
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: couple of years. Of course, Cliff, after leaving Arizona went

903
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: to like a villa in Thailand and I think reenacted

904
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: season three of White Lotus or something like that, and

905
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: then came back and was the quarterbacks coach at USC

906
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: and you know, may have used his time with Caleb

907
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: Williams to sort of work his way back into NFL

908
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: good graces. So now he is in Washington and he's

909
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: got a tight end that he is familiar with. I mean,

910
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: I love zach Ertz. I don't know that I'm super excited.

911
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 3: About thirty three. Yeah, you let Logan Thomas, who's thirty

912
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 3: two go, and that he signed a thirty three.

913
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: Year old three year old I mean, and look, zach

914
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: Ertz got to a point that he realized that Trey

915
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: McBride was the future in Arizona, and it was just.

916
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 3: Like, hey, man, you might as just let me go

917
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 3: just over his shoulder, like, man, just let me get

918
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 3: in front of.

919
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 1: You to stop this just you know whatever. So I look,

920
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: I like zach Ertz is a good player. I you know,

921
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: I it doesn't necessarily move the needle for me a

922
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: whole lot with him going to.

923
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 3: Adpro one what it is right now?

924
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's and it's I don't think it moves

925
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: a whole lot from there at any point for sure.

926
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned I like, uh, the idea of

927
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: Ridley to the Jets, Markus Brown to the Chiefs, uh

928
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: saquond to the Chargers. You mentioned you didn't have a

929
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: really good landing spot for Tony Pollard. But as we're

930
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: talking about the Commanders, I think Tony Pollard in in

931
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: Washington sort of makes sense. I think he can be

932
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: in Washington. He can be that guy that we always

933
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: thought Antonio Gibson was gonna be.

934
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 3: Gibson's a free agent, actually yeah.

935
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I think that you know that

936
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: that pairing is done, but why not bring him in. Uh,

937
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: you can sort of split the workload with him and

938
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson. As Robinson more the the straight ahead runner.

939
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: Pollar can get some carries for you, but he can

940
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: be a pass catcher out of the backfield. I mean

941
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: that was what that was the role I always envisioned

942
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson was going to be in, even though it

943
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: never really happened. Hollared seems more fit. Which is weird though,

944
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: because I don't know if you ever heard this, but

945
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson was a wide receiver in college and for

946
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: whatever reason, Washington decided to not throw the balls and

947
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: get it. Don't get it, don't get it. But I

948
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: think I think Tony Paula can be that guy.

949
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 2: I considered Pollard there, but I I love Brian Robinson,

950
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 2: so I want I just want him to have a

951
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: backfield too.

952
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 3: Man.

953
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: I do he can catch the ball to man man

954
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: wish def puon Brian Robinson flashback. Yeah, I don't know

955
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: that that could be interesting. I like Brian Robinson. I

956
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: just don't know if if they want him to be

957
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: that kind of a pass catcher or if he can Yeah.

958
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

959
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: And I'm the guy who always says just because we

960
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: haven't seen a guy do it, doesn't mean he can't

961
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: do it. But to this point, the commanders nor Robinson

962
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: have shown any inclination that they want to use him

963
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: in that fashion at all. So uh, anyway, about a

964
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: week from now, we will be talking more and more

965
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: about this, which actually it's a good time to maybe

966
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: can I clue you guys in we are considering should

967
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: I put this out here?

968
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 2: Guys?

969
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: Should I try I put out the yes? Yes. So

970
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: we are talking about we are developing the idea of

971
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: doing a weekly streaming show, a short one maybe once

972
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: a week, you know, twenty five thirty minutes something like that.

973
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: We will talk about some of the big deals going on,

974
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: the big issues going on across fantasy football, and obviously

975
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: next week with it being free agency, feels like a

976
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: good time to start that because we can hit some

977
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: of the big deals that happen. You know, we'll do

978
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: our Wednesday show talk about some of the deals that

979
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: happened then, and then Thursday seems like a perfect follow

980
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: up to talk more about that. So be wary for that.

981
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: Wary that seems like it's something frightening. Be aware, be

982
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: prepared for something like that, probably out on the YouTube

983
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: or a streaming service.

984
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 3: They're coming soon. Near fire content. Only that's the first

985
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 3: time say this, send that on this show.

986
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: We own that phrase. Now. I just want to let

987
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, surprise, surprise, it's probably anyway, I to Believeablongs

988
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: to Roger, now, sorry about your luck a break come back.

989
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: We will talk a little bit about the combine as

990
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 1: we wrap things up on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

991
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: I want to finish up the show by talking some

992
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: combine the things that went on in Indianapolis. We talked

993
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: a little bit about it last week, and I think

994
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: the consensus was it's it's entertaining to watch, it's fun

995
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: to tweet about and talk about, but it doesn't necessarily

996
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: translate to fantasy production. Although Xavier Worthy of running a

997
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: four to two one woo, that's heat for sure, which

998
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: I guess leads me to the first question, which player

999
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: or players Florida you think helped themselves the most over

1000
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: the weekend.

1001
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 2: Look, Xavier Worthy is going to get all the talk,

1002
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: but at one sixty five running it at four to

1003
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 2: one is very impressive. But Xavier to get running a

1004
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 2: four to three nine at two twenty one that stood

1005
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 2: out to me. Donnie Mitchell, only four wide receivers taller

1006
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 2: and five heavier have ran a faster forty than him

1007
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: since two thousand and three. Brian Thomas Junior stood out

1008
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 2: to me. Second fastest forty third fastest ten yard split.

1009
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 2: So these are some names that are already kind of

1010
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 2: late first round picks, but I think they solidified themselves

1011
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 2: there and I think they did a really good job

1012
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 2: of showing like, hey, after the big three that are

1013
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: getting all the talk about, like this is a really

1014
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 2: deep wide receiver class and there's a lot of really

1015
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 2: really talented players. And then from a hype standpoint, I

1016
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: don't think anyone gained more hype than JJ McCarthy.

1017
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: And Michael Pennan. Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Claire McCarthy. You know,

1018
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: there's always that guy or a couple of guys who

1019
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: during you know, the pre draft season, rockets themselves up

1020
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: draft boards. JJ McCarthy is the leader in the clubhouse

1021
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: for that one hundred percent. Anybody jump out to you

1022
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: this weekend, but on.

1023
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jalen Wright, Man, I mean his pro comp is

1024
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 3: ALM Kamara, and I know, like a lot of teams

1025
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 3: need this type of running back right now. With the

1026
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 3: speed he had the second fastest forty time, I'm on

1027
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 3: the running back, so you know, he really had a

1028
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 3: great testing and broad jump as well. I think he

1029
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 3: had the highest as well. If I'm not mistaken, and

1030
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 3: like he's one of those guys that were fringed, like

1031
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 3: running RB two to three behind Jonathan Brooks. I mean

1032
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 3: it's safe to say, just based on land the spot,

1033
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 3: if he gets into a good spot, he can fall

1034
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 3: into a role where he can actually carve himself out

1035
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 3: to be useful in fantasy. So I think Jalen Wright

1036
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 3: did a great job testing out.

1037
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: And there's some talk that he could end up being

1038
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: the first running back taken in this draft. I know

1039
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people were looking at Jonathan Brooks, but

1040
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: I think you know, look the medicals. The fact that

1041
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: he tore in ACL and is it likely to be

1042
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: ready at the start of the season is going to

1043
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: impact his draft status a little bit. So it could

1044
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: be that Jalen Wright has sort of surpassed him there.

1045
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: For me, a couple of names one Romo Dunza, not

1046
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: that he's moving up in the draft, but mostly that

1047
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: he sort of confirmed everything we already believed about him.

1048
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's already going to be one of

1049
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: the top three receivers taking off the board. I think

1050
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: one and two were going to be the Molikue neighbors.

1051
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior in whatever order you would like to

1052
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: put them. But I think o'doonza just locked himself in

1053
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: as the third wide receiver with what he did over

1054
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: the weekend, And for me, I was very interested to

1055
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: see what Marshaun Lloyd was going to do. I thought

1056
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: he performed very well. I thought he had a faster

1057
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: forty time than some people were going to think were

1058
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: expecting from him. It also, as a USC fan, made

1059
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: be frustrated that sometimes Lincoln Riley would just ignore him

1060
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: for long stretches in the game, because I think he's

1061
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: a talented player. I think the I think Lancer lines

1062
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: comp for him was a Jeric McKinnon type. He's not tall,

1063
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: he's a little bit stout. I think he can be

1064
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: a decent pass catcher if given the opportunity. He's a

1065
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: guy who has potential to be explosive at times, but

1066
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: maybe not a guy that you're gonna lean on to

1067
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: be a three down RB one. But I thought he

1068
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: performed and performed very well this weekend. Either you guys

1069
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: find somebody you're gonna go back and watch after what

1070
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 1: you saw at the combine, or you lakwhile you already

1071
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: saw you got a list of guys.

1072
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 3: There's a comfl guys where I'm just like, dude, what

1073
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 3: in the world, Like where this guy come from? But no,

1074
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 3: I mean for me personally, I was kind of like

1075
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 3: lay on the bandwagon. Ricky Piersoll, like he's one of

1076
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 3: the polished like wide receivers route running, like he's gonna

1077
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 3: make a huge impact to a team on one of

1078
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 3: these early second round teams. I mean, he had already

1079
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 3: had the senior ball buzz and I'm like, yeah, yeah, whatever,

1080
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 3: you know Roman Wilson, That's who I'm really looking at

1081
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 3: right now. But this dude is going to be one

1082
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 3: of those route runners that can just make a huge

1083
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 3: playing Like who is this dude?

1084
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Florida. Anybody you're keeping an eye or you're

1085
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: going to rewatch, I should say.

1086
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to watch more of Anthony Gold. He

1087
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 2: tied Worthy for the fastest ten yard split, and to me,

1088
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 2: I think the ten yard split almost matters more than

1089
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 2: the forty. Trey Benson was a standout this week, and

1090
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: then Isaac Grendo, who ran the fastest forty wait adjusted

1091
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,439
Speaker 2: you can make an argument is the best forty time

1092
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 2: ever ran running back, but his ten yard split wasn't

1093
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 2: very good, so uh, definitely one. I haven't even started

1094
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: to In full honesty, I'm working my way through this

1095
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 2: wide receivers right now. I got so back going through receivers.

1096
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 2: I have not even started running back yet, so those

1097
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 2: are probably gonna be the two running backs I start

1098
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 2: with now.

1099
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be honest, Like I had kind of heard

1100
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: the name Isaac Garrinda. I think I had watched one

1101
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,720
Speaker 1: or two Louisville games during the season, but I didn't

1102
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: know much about him. So I'm definitely curious to sort

1103
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: of dive in and see what's going on there. I

1104
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: know this is not the most exciting running back class,

1105
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: but I think there are some guys out there who

1106
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 1: could be impact players.

1107
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 3: I like to call it if.

1108
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good term. I like that term. I

1109
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: think it is a contributor class. Another quick question before

1110
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: we get out of here, I mean, is, aside of

1111
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: it being you know, interesting, theater, is the forty irrelevant?

1112
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: I guess for lack of a better term, I.

1113
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 3: Wouldn't say you relevant totally, but it's a little over hyped,

1114
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 3: especially for running back, like your first ten yards matter

1115
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 3: so much more like the forty determines.

1116
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 2: Okay, if you get in open field, can you take it?

1117
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 2: The distance which is important, but like burst, to me

1118
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: matters so much more than high end speed for running back.

1119
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 2: So if you can get going in ten seconds, I

1120
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 2: think that probably translates a little bit.

1121
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: Better to the NFL. I don't remember who it was

1122
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,760
Speaker 1: that said it, but I think the point is taken.

1123
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: If you were running forty yards at a time on

1124
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: an NFL field, something has especially if you're a defensive player,

1125
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: something has gone really wrong. You know what I'm saying, Like,

1126
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be running forty yards at a time. So

1127
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: it's it's nice, it's fun, it's interesting. But I think

1128
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: with the way the game is played, because especially offenses

1129
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: have sort of shrunk the field and everything's a lot shorter,

1130
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: I think your point is, well, take it, Floria. It's

1131
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,959
Speaker 1: more about the ten yard burst in the overall forty

1132
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: yard run.

1133
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 2: Bigger question, why do we even make o lineman run

1134
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 2: the forty when they get penalized for being five yards down, for.

1135
00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: Being downfield, yeah, destroying their knees. It was there was

1136
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: some you know, some big offensive line prog. Maybe it

1137
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: was it might have been pinn A Suol or somebody

1138
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: like that. It was like a big offensive line prospect

1139
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: and their forty time was below expectations. And I think

1140
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: one of the scoutser coaches is like, all right, well,

1141
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: I guess I just won't have him run streaks down

1142
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: the field, you know, I think, But I think in

1143
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: some way they'll say this. In some ways, watching those

1144
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: guys run and the time that they run is way

1145
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: more impressive.

1146
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, as a human.

1147
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: As just as a human being, that as a football player,

1148
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 1: but as a human being to be that big and

1149
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: that heavy and still run. Look, man, I mean you

1150
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: go out there and try to run forty yards, right,

1151
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 1: to run it even in five seconds or five that's

1152
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: that's pretty good man. And to do that with three

1153
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: hundred plus pounds is sort of amazing. So, yeah, it

1154
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: doesn't make headlines, but sometimes watching some of those guys

1155
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: run is amazing because I don't think you realized what

1156
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 1: kind of athletes some of these dudes are.

1157
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 2: But my personal FA favorite headline from it was like

1158
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 2: Sam Hartman runs fastest forty amongst quarterbacks, and then it

1159
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 2: was like he was the only quarterback that ran.

1160
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can also say Sam Hartman had the

1161
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,479
Speaker 1: worst forty times exact quarters as well. We'll be true,

1162
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: both of those statements are true one hundred percent. All right,

1163
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: that's a good spot for us to stop for this week.

1164
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: We'll be back with you next week as well, as

1165
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: we will be pretty much in the thick of free agency,

1166
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: so we'll be back with you kind of talk about

1167
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: what is to be some of this player movement and

1168
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: what that's going to mean for both the NFL teams

1169
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: and your fantasy football team as well. But that'll do

1170
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 1: it for this edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

1171
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: Stay happy, safe and healthy, do good and live well.

1172
00:55:42,680 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: Enjoy the weekend, everybody. We'll talk to you next week.

1173
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: Wo
