00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: know if there is a season. There really is no

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,280

Speaker 1: I know. That's what I said, there's not really a

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: season because it was weird. It's like golf just keeps going.

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: Children's birthdays are like the NFL. They're a year round,

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: year round. There is no off season. Why I might

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,520

Speaker 1: there's gonna be some very fantasy impactful signings that happened

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: between now and Friday, although I guess when is the

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,960

00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: here laid out in front of you. Today, we're gonna

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: be talking about Leonard four Net, We're gonna be talking

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: about Dalvin Cook. How we're their combined performances. We shall

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: weigh in. Plus we'll talk about some combine winners and

54
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: some combine losers. Where does Christian McCaffrey fit into this?

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Where does John Ross fit into this? Where does Deshaun

56
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: Watson fit into this? How about a guy like Cooper

57
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: Cup was he a winner or a loser? Some other

58
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: winners and losers in the combine We shall be discussing

59
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: today and if we have time, we shall dig into

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: this impressive class of rookie tight ends. Although we've got

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: Adam Rank in the building. What does that mean? So

62
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll have time. I didn't filibuster

63
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: and then we will close up the top of the show.

64
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: Filibuster could have gone on and on because I can

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: daily depths. I have a theory on the on the

66
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: on the store, bye bye baby. Well I'm gonna save it.

67
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save it for another time. I it's it's

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: the first name. It literally is literally drop any fast

69
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Lane takes from the pay per view life. I got

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: my daily depths and he's got it. It's gonna be

71
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: the anti depths. O, there's not a lot of depths.

72
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: Can I do anti depths? You can do anti depths absolutely,

73
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: because we're gonna get into some It sounds like we're

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: gonna get into some solid pro wrestling talk. So I'm

75
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: looking see it was egregious. But what I like, I

76
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: like to say that to the end, So aybody who's

77
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: not interested in professional wrestling can bounce anything like that.

78
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll save you for the end. Yeah, Well, we'll

79
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: save you for the one. Okay, I like it. Let's

80
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: talk over the coast as always with your top headlines,

81
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: the camera highlights in the world of sports. Freaking breaking news, breaking,

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: continue to follow breaking news. Kids, has your wife? All right?

83
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: Let's sartain Buffalo chance right that the Bills won't sign

84
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: or won't pick up the option on Tyrod Taylor again.

85
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: Rumors abound that the Bills will not be picking up

86
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: the team option on Tyrod Taylor's contract, instead trying to

87
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: renegotiate him down from the seventeen million per year he

88
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: is said to make. Newsplash Buffalo. That's not gonna work.

89
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: Newsplash Buffalo. That's we just heard Mike Glennon might make

90
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: fifteen million a year. That's that's the part that that

91
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: part haven it should make Tyrod. That should be his

92
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: price should be going up exactly like exactly who hasn't

93
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: played since fourteen Unbelievable's gonna get all this this money?

94
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: And Tyrod Taylor, who actually looks like a legitimate NFL

95
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: quarterback exactly like one. You really can't fault them for

96
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: the situation he was put into in Buffalo. I don't

97
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: understand what that nobody was going to succeed. If the

98
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Bills do let Tyrod Taylor test free agency. Jason lacking

99
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: For of CBS Sports is reporting that the Browns would

100
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: make a quote strong push to sign Tyrod Taylor. Lacking

101
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: For also again reporting that the Bears would have the

102
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: most interest in signing the aforementioned Mike Glennon's contract expected

103
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: to be around fourteen to fifteen million dollars per year.

104
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: We'll start with ty Rod. I would legitimately feel bad

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: for you and Bears fans if they would if they

106
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: dropped fifteen million year on Glennon, I would just stop watching.

107
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: If it makes you supa, it makes you feel better.

108
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: The other name being floated out for the Bears is

109
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer. That's fine, much better. I mean, what could

110
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: you get Brian Hoyer for? You think eight mill doesn't matter?

111
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: Because wherever Brian Horrier goes, he will be guaranteed to

112
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: start a game sometime during the season, because that is

113
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: it's an NFL by law that Brian Hoyer must start

114
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: a game. He's fine, He's decent enough. If Cleveland does

115
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: make that push and they do sign Tyrod Taylor, if

116
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: the Bills are foolish enough to let him go at

117
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: a very reasonable contract. If they let him go and

118
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor signs with Cleveland, what does it mean from

119
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, The double thumbs up from Alex Gail

120
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: are hit me. I'd be happy with that because that

121
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: would solve their quarterback issues. You put Tyrod Taylor with

122
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: a good offensive mind and Hugh Jackson bringing back to

123
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: Roll Prior, then I would hope they bring back to

124
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: Roll Prior because all of a sudden, now we're looking

125
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: at an offense with Tyrod turrelle Prior and Corey Coleman.

126
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Let's Gary Barnage, Josh Gordon could be coming back. Yeah, Everyboddy,

127
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: here we go, let's go jobs. Oh yeah, day, I'm

128
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: sitting out this part of the Josh Gordon coming back,

129
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel on the bench, Let's go Cleveland. That would

130
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: that would be exciting for me because that you know,

131
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: they've got some skill position players around there, and in

132
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Tyrod would would be awesome to see.

133
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I think it would hurt the value of Duke Johnson though,

134
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: because Tyrod's not gonna check it down as much being

135
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: a running quarterback. But Isaiah Karwill could still be in

136
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: the sleeper mix and it would be good things. You

137
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: just you want a good quarterback to be on teams

138
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: with good skills. I feel like Tyrod Taylor could unlock

139
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: that offense big time. I think would be the quarterback

140
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: for the Bills. Then where where are they fucking Cardale Jones.

141
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermots gonna be out of a job of two

142
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: years because they let they decided to let Trod Taylor

143
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: seventeen million around there. Oh my god, I feel bad

144
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: for one of the Balds because I want to support him.

145
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: I do. We lost Gus badly and we gained another

146
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: bald Sean McDermott uh and Sean McDermott. Yeah, I don't

147
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: know what what is Buffalo? Like you have the money,

148
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: just pay it? Like what do you what do you

149
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: think is? It's not? And the thing is not like

150
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: the team option for like a five year deal, it's

151
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: a team option for two years, basically one year they've

152
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: had they've been doing this. They've been keeping Tyrode on

153
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: the hook like a like a bad relationship kind of thing,

154
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, like let's just be friends. But

155
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: I kind of want to be more than friends. But

156
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to get committed. I want to be serious, Like,

157
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you just want to like you

158
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: don't want? I think this is what it is. It's

159
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: like they had him at the most ridiculously cheap contract ever, right,

160
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: and he crazy, I'll perform that contract. Right. So now

161
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: they're like balking at the fact that do we need

162
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: to give this guy a thousand percent raise? I think

163
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: that's what they are looking at, and and I don't know,

164
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just shocked. It's the polar opposite of

165
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins situation. So it's fascinating to watch both

166
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: of them plays. Yes, exactly, that's exactly. But I well,

167
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: I hope for the best for Tyrode because good quarterback

168
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: and if he gets put in a good offense with

169
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: good coaches and skilled postition players, he could be very,

170
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: very interesting and fantasy that's my thing too. It's like, uh,

171
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: if he is a free agent, gents, instead of being

172
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: linked with Mike Glennon, I would hope the Bears would

173
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: be like, oh, let's go for the guy who's actually

174
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. Trying to bring Tyrod like you have

175
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: a better sell than Cleveland. Can you managed not buy much?

176
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: But you do? I like to Tyrod Taylor alshon Jeffrey Combo.

177
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: That could be sexy. That could be good because it's

178
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: not out of the realm of possibility that al Sean returned. No. Absolutely,

179
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: they just couldn't pay whatever the franchise was. Well, they

180
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to pay because if he got franchised again,

181
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: he would have got paid sixteen or something, six or

182
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: seventeen more than if not. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, you're gonna

183
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: make less than that. Okay, so there you go. Hey.

184
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: Paul Domowitch of Philly News dot Com says Ryan Matthews

185
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: is likely to get cut as free agency begins, but

186
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: that the team is also not likely to take a

187
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: running back in the very first round. Darren Sprowlst. Four

188
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson recently said of Wendel Smallwood that he

189
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: is quote in the mix. Yeah at RB, Yeah, Wendell Smallwood.

190
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: That is not that is not a big time endorsement.

191
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: When you are expected to cut Ryan Matthews Derren Sprawls

192
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: thirty four and when you look at the next guy

193
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: in line, it's Wendel Smallwood, Doug Peterson says not he's

194
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: my starter. Not he's my guy. He's in the mix.

195
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: But it is a pretty deep running back class that

196
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: I think that even if you're gonna miss out on

197
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: one of the two guys who are expected to go

198
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: into the first round, there's still other running backs you

199
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: can go out there and take. So I don't think

200
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: that it's imperative that they go running back in the

201
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: first round. Ryan Matthews has been fine, but it's not

202
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: like it's not like you're cutting Adrian Peterson in his prime.

203
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: You're you're getting rid of a good, at times injury prone,

204
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: injury prone guy. Darren Sprawls seems ageless. And I really

205
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: do believe Wendel Smallwood sept he's good, He's a good player.

206
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: It's there more. Is there any team right now with

207
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: more uncertainty offensively than the Eagles? I mean pretty much

208
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: any any free agent wide receiver has been linked there

209
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: to Sean You're trying to figure out what to do

210
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: with their running back situation, and everybody keeps saying, like

211
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and Theeds weapons, but there's no that doesn't

212
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: seem to be a clear plan of how to do that. Marcus,

213
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: you're missing the one you know infallible certainty on the

214
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: Eagles offense, and that is that zach Ertz will put

215
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: up Monster Fantasy numbers after Thanksgiving, so that is known

216
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving zach ERTs his money. The rest of the offense,

217
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: aside from Jordan Matthews, a lot of question marks. All right,

218
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: there you go exactly you mentioned running back wide receiver. Uh,

219
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: and again Carson Wentz is It's not like Carson Wentz

220
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: is is money in the bank, right, I mean, he's

221
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: a second year player. I mean we like what we

222
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: saw at times from Carson Wentz. You know what. The

223
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: funny thing about Carson Wentz to Uh, that strikes me

224
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: his first impressions are everything right because he came out

225
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: of the gates strong. For sure, he did not play

226
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: well down the stretch at all, and yet we still

227
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: feel like, oh yeah, Carson Wentz is definitely that dude.

228
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: So that's I find that to be a trick. Hey,

229
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: let's get into the compot, are we not? Are we

230
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: not going to delve more into Mike Glennon because I

231
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: thought that was suitably ridiculous and we could, like, you

232
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: could kill it if you want. I know, I just

233
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: don't understand because he's linked to the Bears. It's like

234
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: you're paying him pretty much the same money you would

235
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: pay j Cutler for what for somebody who might be

236
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: as good. It's just ridiculous. I understand that when you

237
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: when you have a bad breakup, that you make questionable decisions.

238
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: Mike Lennon would be that questionable decision. That would be

239
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: like you're going out with him. You broke up with

240
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: him to go out with I don't get that at all.

241
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: And really it's like Mike Lennon is like he's the

242
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: last person at the bar at two in the morning,

243
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: and there's a bunch of gms who have their quarterback

244
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: goggles on who are trying to convince himself this is

245
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: no this is a good player, and they're like talking

246
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: it up. And I swear the Great Caesar's ghost himself.

247
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: If you end up signing him, you're gonna wake up

248
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: the next morning what do we do? Or in another version,

249
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon is the guy that's texting all the gms

250
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: who decided to stay at home and not go out

251
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: at two am, saying hey you up? You up? Or

252
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: Mike going telling them I'm up. If you're interested. Oh man,

253
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: oh man, Mike Lennon could make up to fifteen million

254
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: dollars per year and for we have to stop that.

255
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: What what is happening? It really needs It's not who's

256
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: his agent? Who's his His agent is is a mastermind? Yeah,

257
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: this has to be a story that's floated out there

258
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: because everybody. I have to understand. I have to believe

259
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: that if we are actually in Indianapolis with all these

260
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: general managers and they are probably having a good laugh

261
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: at this. I don't know, hope, I don't know. Because

262
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: Charles Robinson from Yeah Who Sports also reported that Mike

263
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Lennon's contract to get up to fifth So this is

264
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: not just because that seems like like something the agent

265
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: would say. It is. Yeah, he's he's gonna get like

266
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: fifteen mil. Here's the thing. It only takes one. It

267
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: only takes one person. It only takes one. It only

268
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: takes one person. I do love it. Hey, let's talk

269
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: about the combine the two you know, splashy guys, the

270
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: two top two top names there at the running back

271
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: class of what it is supposed to be an absolutely

272
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: loaded running back draft this year. Leonard Fournette, Dalvin cook

273
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: mixed reviews. No from the combine. We'll start what do

274
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: we make of their performances? MG, We'll start with Leonard Fournette. Look,

275
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: he came in overweight. Bottom line is he came in overweight?

276
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: CHUK like a forty water doesn't happen to you? You know,

277
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: you're just a little bloated. You go out, you have

278
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: some chicken wings, maybe you throw back a couple of

279
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: I p A s. You're gonna be a little bit

280
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: heavier on Monday morning than you would be on Friday.

281
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: I love the fact training eating correctly. Here's saying I

282
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: love that you brought that up because to me, what

283
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: that tells me is and remember he was dealing with

284
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: an ankle injury late uh in L s U season.

285
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: But what that tells me is that when he comes in,

286
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: when you come into the combine at two forty, what

287
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: that tells me is that is it makes me question,

288
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: are you eating right? Are you taking care of yourself?

289
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: Are you taking preparation into the combine? Seriously, do you

290
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: have that self discipline? Because I'll tell you what if

291
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: to forty is the way that he's at right now,

292
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: what happens to three years down the road. If he

293
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: gets injured again, does he get up to fifty that's

294
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: a problem, that's an absolute problem. And to me that

295
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know he still ran a four

296
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: five one. That's the other thing though, So you know,

297
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: on with it. Friday, when the running backs got going

298
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: um and word trickled through Twitter that the vertical leap

299
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: for minute from Nett was twenty eight and a half inches.

300
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: There was this this minor collective Leonard four Nett, Twitter

301
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: freak out, Oh yeah, and then he ran a four

302
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: five one and then and then it just it all

303
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: went away, you know, like they were there were gifts

304
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: of freight trains running through walls, you know. But is

305
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: he rocked up? Like? Is he? Does he look good?

306
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: Is he like he looks he still looks shredded. He's

307
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: not shredded. His arms are bigger than his head, that's

308
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: for sure. There's a lot of uh, there's a lot

309
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: of impressive defensive players also going through this combine. And

310
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: I look at Leonard Fournette and I understand it was

311
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: probably the smart business decision not to play in the

312
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: bowl game, which is somewhat meaningless. But if Darius guys

313
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: did not go out there and absolutely crush it for

314
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: l s U. I would feel a little bit better

315
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: about four Nett, who I feel was in a situation

316
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: similar to somebody akin to uh what is Zekiel Elliott

317
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: walked into where he came in. Part of the reason

318
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: he had such a phenomenal rookie season was because he

319
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: went to the Dallas Cowboys, you know. And I think

320
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette have Do you think LSU has that running

321
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: game intact? Well? Either that or Geiss is just also

322
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: amazing too. And this is just they're just loaded with

323
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: talent everywhere, which could obviously be the case because L

324
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: s U has been turning out a lot of quality

325
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: NFL starters. It's offensively outside of quarterback. Uh so it

326
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: could be. I just don't I think people are getting

327
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: too wrapped up. They're they're getting wrapped up into this.

328
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: And I think we talked about this the last time

329
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: we brought up the running backs. It's like, that's not

330
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: the way the NFL works anymore. We need guys who

331
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: are more who can play all three downs, or who

332
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: are at least I feel like fantasy hipsters are gonna

333
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: hate Leonard Fournett. Oh yeah, We're gonna we're not gonna

334
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: be cool with him. Now. I don't know. I think they.

335
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: I think they'll like him. You think so, I think

336
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: it means fantasy hipsters in general, not the fantasy I meant,

337
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: just fantasy hipsters. Yeah, in general. Yeah, he's way too mainstream.

338
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: But I mean I liked what four net said to

339
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: when he posted the terrible vertical and she's like, I'm

340
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: not a jumper. He's like, he was just basically like,

341
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: that's not me. And I saw somebody tweet a gift

342
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: of after he ran that forty time. They were like

343
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: the four nets response to him, you know, not jumping

344
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: very high, and it was him just literally steamrolling people.

345
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: So he mean, like guys break tackles, but four nets,

346
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: like the steamroller in Austin Powers just going over that guy.

347
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: But at four or five except except slowly, not slowly

348
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: four or five one, he was two forty pounds. He awesome.

349
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: His vertical inch or vertical vertical leap was twente and

350
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: a half inches. That's all he did at the combine.

351
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: In terms of his physical testing. He didn't do the badge.

352
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: He didn't he didn't do a lot of these measurements.

353
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: Was he winded after the forty he looked good. I

354
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: mean the NFL handle does that fun like faces of

355
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: the forty yard dash tweet where they'll take screen grabs

356
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: everybody's face. All the running backs, like their cheeks are hue.

357
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: That look stressed for that's like a spark in his picture.

358
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: I tweeted and I was like, what it was great?

359
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: But I will say grand Barfield, who we've talked about.

360
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: I think he's from Fantasy Insiders on this podcast before.

361
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: He's really great. We should get him on as a

362
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: guest did tweet out that Dalvin Cook's weight adjusted speed

363
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: percentile scores sixty percent for nets is percent. Man, it's

364
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: pretty good. You just think about a guy even if

365
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: he drops his little weight a little bit or stays

366
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: at two forty to forty in the fourth quarter barreling

367
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: down at you in the second level at speed, it's

368
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of business. Is he gonna be

369
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: at four or five speed at the fourth quarter. I

370
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: just it's gonna be he's gonna need a nap. He

371
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: can't because he won't he won't be playing all three downs. Yeah,

372
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: that's not a knock. I mean it is a knock.

373
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: Bittime knock, not really considering how many three down backs

374
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: are there in the NFL nowadays. Yeah, but Leonard four

375
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: net is not that guy, see Leonard. That's the thing

376
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: about Leonard Fournette. You want him to be a three

377
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: down guy. You need him to be a three down guy.

378
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: He needs to catch the football to be a three

379
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: down guy. That but that's why I'm saying it's a

380
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: knock and so he he can catch well enough, he's

381
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: not I think he will be a three down guy.

382
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: You're not. You're not going to confuse him with Christian

383
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: McCaffrey going out there running routes and touching passes like

384
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: a receiver. I don't e think're getting confused with Dalvin Cook. Okay,

385
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: I think Cook is a better pass catcher than four

386
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: net is. He is adequate. He is not great at it.

387
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: He is adequate. Okay. Can we talk about Dalvin Cook?

388
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Then he ran a pretty he ran in an okay

389
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: for he pretty good four point four nine, So he

390
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: broke the four or five barrier, which was important for him.

391
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: But he was subpar, I mean everywhere else. A thirty

392
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: and a half inch vert not good. A nine and

393
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: a half foot broad ump. That's not good and one

394
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: of the slowest three cone times at the combine. I

395
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: read on Rhodo World, who was citing three sigma athlete

396
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: dot com that Cook's Spark score was in the ninth

397
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: percentile of NFL athletes, So he's in the bottom ten

398
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: percent of overall athleticism. I'm sad, are you? I am

399
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: sad because I really thought you liked Dalvin. I liked

400
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. I a lot of people did. I had

401
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: him before the combine as the number one. That's not

402
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: because I dislike for Net. I just thought Cook was

403
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: a little bit better, so more personal. Yeah, So seeing that, yeah,

404
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: it's it's a disappointment. You know, I'm not off. I'm

405
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: not suddenly off the power and Cook train. And I

406
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: still think, you know, watching his tape and seeing what

407
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: he did in actual game action does still count for

408
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: a lot. But um ninth percentile. I mean that it's

409
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: hard to ignore, like, you know what, you have to

410
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: at least take another look. So it's the kind of

411
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: thing where I'm sure all the sky after seeing that,

412
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: they will go back and they will watch the tape again,

413
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: and they will watch it even harder, and they will

414
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: pick him apart and I think you know Dalvin Cooks

415
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, he's gonna be one of those

416
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: names that you're gonna hear a lot of. I mean,

417
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: we got about seven weeks between now and the draft,

418
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: so in those seven weeks you're gonna hear a lot

419
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: about him, and he could be a name that fluctuates

420
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: wildly as to where he goes, you know, in the

421
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: draft and what team he lands on. UM, if he

422
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: goes out, he doesn't have to be bad at the combine.

423
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: I think if he's just okay at the combine, it

424
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: stays where he is right, but not having a good

425
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: week in Indie UM suddenly means there're a whole lot

426
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: more questions. By the way, what is spark? You ask

427
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: s P A r Q you hear all the time

428
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: per the Google's spark is an agorative for speed, power, agility, reaction,

429
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: and quickness. The Spark rating is a scoring system designed

430
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: to measure sports specific athleticism. By the way, Leonard four

431
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: net no spark score because he did not do all

432
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: the drills again, he only did the fort Do we

433
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: give credit to Zach Whitman. He's on Twitter at z

434
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: J Whitman. W h I T m an. He's the

435
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: guy that put us up. Yeah, And as we're kind

436
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: of talking about it, it's not predictive of like a

437
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: great fantasy success or anything like that. I was looking

438
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: back at some of the historic numbers and like Jordan

439
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: Howard was twenty eight percentile Thomas rawls interesting, but it

440
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: does highlight good guys and like the true freak athletes

441
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: such as David Johnson, who was near the top of

442
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: his draft class. It makes a whole hell of course,

443
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: makes a whole hell of a lot of sense. All right,

444
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about I think dal McCook was one of

445
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: the losers in the combined. Let's talk about some of

446
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: the winners in uh this week's combine, and we'll start,

447
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: of course with John Ross. I mean he absolutely blew

448
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: up Twitter, did he? I think I'm near burnt and

449
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: omelet like I was like watching the run and like

450
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: seeing the and like when I saw the number pop up,

451
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: I know I have to run back to the kitchen

452
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: to keep from burning my breakfast. You know what was

453
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: great too about that was that he ran afoord to forty,

454
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: which is a combined record. He broke the record set

455
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: by Chris Johnson back in two thousand and eight. I

456
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: do believe Chris Johnson ran c J two, k ran

457
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: a four to four. John ross an official time and

458
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: official times. Did you like feel the earth move when

459
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: this happened, James? Did you have to did baby co

460
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: like wake you up? Shaking on the ground like dead area? Okay?

461
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: I watched him run. I watched him run, and I

462
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: was and I was saying to myself, like, man, he

463
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: can move. But I thought he ran a four three.

464
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: I thought he ran a four three five, just off

465
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: the eyeball test. And and it was funny too, right

466
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: because because NFL Network built the drama up, because they

467
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't give you the unofficial score super quick.

468
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: It's almost as if the clock guys were double checking. Yes.

469
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: I thought the same thing before they actually put up

470
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: the unofficial time. I thought the same thing because he

471
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: ran it and there was no score, no no time.

472
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: I think Mike Mayock said, well, where's where's the time,

473
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: where's the time. Where's the time? Everyone was like, where's

474
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: the time? And the four two two pops up and

475
00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: it was like rich eye, it comes rich watch. Actually

476
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: it was amazing. It was absolutely amazing. Charlie Castlely tweeted

477
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: out something interesting too, right because he was at the

478
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: combine and he said five of the six manual stop

479
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: Watch guys had him sub sub as low as four

480
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: war six. I believe between four one six and four

481
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: one nine, and the six guy had him at a

482
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: four to five. But the speed is four reels. Now

483
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: here's saying he's good. Can I ask you this though?

484
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you this. I thought it

485
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: was interesting right because he pulled up at the end

486
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: and had some cramps there. I felt like it was

487
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: really good for John Ross and also really not I

488
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: don't want to say bad, but also kind of if

489
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: you're doing confirmation bias, right, John Ross couldn't stay healthy

490
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: when he was at Washington, and he he he absolutely

491
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: blows the top off the forty and of course he's

492
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: injured now and he doesn't do the rest of the combine.

493
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: Literally a mic drop, literally a mic drop, a four

494
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: to two breaks the record. Twitter just absolutely explodes and

495
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: then he's like, all right, cool, I'm done. Why would

496
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: you continue to go out. It's like when you go

497
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: out and you you're you're doing karaoke. If you nail

498
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: your first song. Don't go back up on this. There

499
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: you go, don't ever do that. You're like, I just

500
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: crushed suspicious minds. I'm not going to go out there

501
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: and try to wrap bust a move like. I'm just

502
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: not gonna you know, I'm gonna save that. I'm gonna

503
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: go back. I think I could do it, but the

504
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: glory it's not worth it. Um. John Ross is one

505
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: of Matt Harmon's favorite players too, right, he likes him.

506
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: I feel like he was somewhere in his three to

507
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: five range for top wide receivers from not mistaken. I

508
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: think Corey Davis might have been number one, and then

509
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: I think John Ross and uh, and you know Chris

510
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: god Win, his boy who also had a great combo.

511
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: He's up there. But I mean this has got to

512
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: solidify his place in the first round. I think, no

513
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: question about it. Yeah, I mean, here we go. I

514
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: think I think he's in the first round. I think

515
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: that the question is was this enough to make him

516
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: the number one? And simply because Mike Williams didn't do

517
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: much of anything. What he did do was kind of disappointing. Uh,

518
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: Corey Davis was injured and didn't wasn't there at all.

519
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes, as as our friend Elliott Harrison

520
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: would say, sometimes your best ability is your availability. And

521
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: the fact that John Ross showed up and killed at

522
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: least Hey, look, it's amazing. You want to know more,

523
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: go watch the tap, look at the coin. That phrase,

524
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't think, I just know he says it more

525
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: than ability is your availability? I you know what? Also though,

526
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: when that happened, and this is why sometimes say Twitter,

527
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: because right after it happened, I said, oh, great, now

528
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: John Ross is going to be slated to the Raiders

529
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: in every mock draft. And I got a bunch of

530
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: dudes in my mentor a bunch of Raider fans like, dude,

531
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: we don't do that anymore, we don't. I'm Mike. Yeah,

532
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: that's the point. I'm making fun of the idiots who

533
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: do mock drafts, who will lazily like, oh, he should

534
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: be a m I think, uh. The one thing though

535
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: about and it was impressive what he did, but he

536
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: reminds me or it's similar to Brandon Cooks, and the

537
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: Saints want a first round draft pick for Brandon Cooks.

538
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: So if you're a team like the Tennessee Titans, who

539
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: could use some team speed. They need somebody to stretch

540
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: that defense. Would you rather take your first round and

541
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: I think they have multiple because they've got they have

542
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: the Rams. Uh. Would you want to take one of

543
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: your first round picks and be like, I'd rather have

544
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks He's a little bit more established, anything like that.

545
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 1: Or would you want to draft John Ross? I think

546
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: I'd rather have John Ross First of all, the financials

547
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: obviously tip in John Ross's favors. And the other thing is,

548
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: I think he's a very I think he's a very

549
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: polished wide receiver. I really like him. I think his

550
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: floors to Sean Jackson. Obviously that's a semi lazy compared.

551
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it, but that's another good one too.

552
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: Like the Rams are possibly a landing spot for Sean Jackson.

553
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: I think I would want him more than the Shan Jackson,

554
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: that's for sure. John Ross for the price, for sure,

555
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: for the price, oh for sure. And you know, obviously

556
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: moving forward as well, Deshawn's Yeah, I mean Deshawn's you know,

557
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: his best years are behind him, I would imagine, all right,

558
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: But I like the Brandon Cooks though. Do you if

559
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: I'm the If I'm the Titans, what does he do

560
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: other than run the vertical? That's whether you need. He

561
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: catches the football. But Drew Brees is kind of a

562
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: quarterback socialist. He likes to spread the ball. Arenda. Bernie

563
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: Sanders was an NFL quarterback. Drew Brees. He everybody's the

564
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders quarterbacks. But that's great. But Marcus Mariotta could

565
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: be out there and just be like, just throw the

566
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: ball that I don't know, Marcus Mariota is gonna spread

567
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: around tore We gotta move on man, Christie, Yeah, we do.

568
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: Chris Stohn Ross was the most talked about guy on Saturday,

569
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: and we're spending too much. Let's you know what, how

570
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: dare you? Chris Godwin MG ran a four nineteen reps

571
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: on the bench, which is super good for a wide receiver.

572
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: Her uh and he looked amazing. I thought he was

573
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: outstanding on those drills. Will as your take away one

574
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: that he pretty much built on what he did in

575
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl when he tortured nine catches, torture Dori

576
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: Jackson and the Trojan secondary up and down the field. Um,

577
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, and it's funny because talking, you know, we

578
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: talked with Matt Harmon obviously pretty regularly. Yeah, and he

579
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: was he's been saying for the last week or so

580
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on Chris Godwin. And then he

581
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: was really you know, he really liked the stuff he

582
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: saw from him as he was charting him for reception, perception, Uh,

583
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: and that he had inside sources saying that god was

584
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna kill at the combine, that he could potentially work

585
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: his way into day one. Um, and it all came true,

586
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: and which says a lot in a in a a

587
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver draft class that right now is pretty top heavy. Um,

588
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: he's pushing up I think up to the top. I

589
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: don't think he's in that top three echelon the you

590
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: know that the Davis Williams Ross. But uh, he's I

591
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: think solidly in that second tier. And it's somebody's going

592
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: to get a really good wide receiver. I agree with that,

593
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: because he's got an interesting combination of size of speed,

594
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: right so six one to ten and then also ran

595
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: a four four four, so good speed, very good speed,

596
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: and decent size as well. But you're right, he's not.

597
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna push into that Mike Williams

598
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: territory only because of the size Christian McCaffrey Adam Rank, Yeah, buddy,

599
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: talk to me about him. He had a very good

600
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: combine as well for an offensive player. I don't think

601
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: anybody did better than him all around. Showed all of

602
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: his range. What he's gonna be able to bring to

603
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: a team. I think, you know, a lot of people

604
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: look at him and they'll say, well, he's not gonna

605
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: be an every down running back and everything like that.

606
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: And I'm like, which is fine if this was nineteen

607
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: seventy seven and we were needing running backs like that.

608
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: It's a new era of the NFL. And I see

609
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: him as kind of, this is gonna be so lazy

610
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: because it's comparing him to a white player, but you

611
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: compare him to like Julian Edelman, but Julian Edelman that

612
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: can run the football, you know. And I just kind

613
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: of think that if he goes to the right team,

614
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: goes to a creative team, and thankfully the uh, thankfully

615
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher is no longer in the NFL. But if

616
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: he goes to a creative team, you can just find

617
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: ways to get the ball into his hands, because that's

618
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: really what you want, Like Is he a three down

619
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: running back per se? Absolutely not. But is he a

620
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: player who could be on the field for all three

621
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: downs and find ways to get the ball in his hands,

622
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: I'd say absolutely. He's a guy who lines up in

623
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: the slot on first down. You can put him there.

624
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: You can run him in the backfield when you need to.

625
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be able to do a lot

626
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: of different things. He's such a great punt returner and

627
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: a special teams player as well, which you'll will probably

628
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: get one year out of him doing that stuff because

629
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: he'll be way too valuable. Like no, but I look

630
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: at it, and I look at a career like a

631
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: guy like Darren Sprawls has head. I think he's better,

632
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: Like he's a better version of somebody like Darren Sprawls,

633
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about him. I wish the Bears had

634
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: a need for him, but I honestly think like any

635
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: team would have a need for him. I legitimately, if

636
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: he he's not gonna fall to the second round, it

637
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: would be it would be a mistake. But if he did,

638
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: I'd be like because by friends and I were talking

639
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: about this, they're like, well, it's too bad with I'm like, bro,

640
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: you could use a Christian McCaffrey, or you could use

641
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. He's just a great all around football. He's

642
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna henna find a home. He's gonna go and contribute.

643
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: And I don't care if you have a like even

644
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: like Cowboys wanted to take him. I think it would

645
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: make sense. Interesting. Okay, was kid, who am I talking about?

646
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: Are we still on McCaffrey? Well? Yeah, I mean no, no,

647
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: I just want to know if you have if you

648
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: have thoughts on Christian McCaffrey. No, I think he's gonna

649
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: be great, and I I think he proved in college.

650
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: He's capable of running between the tackles if his body

651
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: will withstand, you know, a twenty touch of game pounding

652
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: that remains to be seen a little bit. But he's

653
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: got like this is one of those guys where a

654
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of times you hear in the scouting vernacular like

655
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: bloodlines and stuff like that. I mean, his dad was

656
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: a long season pro in the NFL. His mom was

657
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: a like an Olympic level or a Stanford Olympic athlete,

658
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: Olympic athlete as well. Like, the guy's got good genes.

659
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: He's got good athletic genes, so he's gonna be a

660
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: difference may here in some offense. And I think right away.

661
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean we were kind of talking about this in

662
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: the episode with Lance, like he could have like Reggie

663
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: Bush rookie year appeal, not saying he's gonna go out

664
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: and catch passes or whatever absurd number of rookie Reggie

665
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: bushcot but you know, if he if he falls to

666
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: a team like the Packers or the Patriots, if they

667
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: want to, you know, get younger over James White and

668
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis or something like that, Like he could be

669
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: a PPR stud in his rookie season. I don't see

670
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: how he doesn't get fifteen to twenty overall touches a game.

671
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean he should, even if it's twelve carries and

672
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: five catches. Yeah, I think that's I think that's absolutely doable.

673
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, he is one of those guys.

674
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: To me in fantasy, he is going to move up

675
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: draft boards cuol. I would say, I think his role

676
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: will make him a relatively safe weekly play in like

677
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: and not. I'm not doing this to say like the

678
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: White to White comparison, but like Danny Wood head a

679
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, you weren't always gonna get twenty points,

680
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: but like you were never gonna get fewer than like

681
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: eight points. Like McCaffrey seems like the kind of guy

682
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: that bare minimum is just gonna be used enough to

683
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: be like a nice flex play and then when he pops,

684
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: yeah it. Depending on what team he goes to, his

685
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: touchdown potential will determine his overall draft grade. But you're right, uh,

686
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: in terms of just week to week yardage totals, I

687
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think anywhere between twelve to twenty

688
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: touches a game would I would confidently take Christian McCaffrey

689
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: and be confident that he would give me anywhere between

690
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know, seventy to a hundred total yard

691
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean, Like, what if a

692
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: team like the Colts had him, Although they got t

693
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: Y Hilton so they might not necessarily need a slot

694
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: guy in that vein, but likes to run vertical to

695
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I don't know, I like

696
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: him with the Colts to pair him with the guy

697
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: like Frank Or it'd be fun if they used like

698
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: this last year of Frank Or to kind of easing

699
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and gave him a shot at the featured role

700
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 1: because they were Yeah, they were running out Josh Ferguson, Yeah,

701
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: they're That's it. Just it just seems like the Colts

702
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: have so many needs that perhaps it would be a luxury.

703
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: But it'd be fun to see putting them with and

704
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: I obviously they have the dumb Stanford connection, but then

705
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: we'd have we finally got rid of Kobe Flaner, so

706
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: we could finally stop doing the Andrew Luck Kobe Flaner thing.

707
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll be roommates. Oh my god, Yes, maybe they'll

708
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: be that happened. That would be wonderful. Alvin Kamara, Marcus Grant,

709
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand the crazy hype. Same watching

710
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: the game tape. But Mike Mayoka pointing out one or

711
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: two games that you know where he really really played well, uh,

712
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: and I know our guy, Bucky Brooks, I mean, Bucky

713
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: Brooks just loves Alvin Kamara. Can you talk to me

714
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: about what you thought about his combine? He is a

715
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: Scouts darling and overall, I watching the tape, I'm with you, like,

716
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I don't see it. I mean

717
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: I I watch Alvin Kamara, and I see a guy

718
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: who's very active and very busy, and his feet are

719
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: always moving and he's always kind of in action. But

720
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 1: I also think I watched him and saw a guy

721
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: who was the epitome of confusing activity for progress. Um,

722
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: that's a great way to put it. There was a

723
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on. He just wasn't really getting

724
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: anwhere as far as I's beencerned and look, and I know,

725
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: you know, as I've kind of debated this a little

726
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: bit on Twitter with people, Um, you know, yes, I

727
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: get it. Jalen Heard was there at Tennessee at the

728
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: start of the year, and Heard was supposed to be

729
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: all world and he was going to take most of

730
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: the carries there. Dude, you gotta see Jalaln hurts mom,

731
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts mom through shade at Alvin Kamara. So Alvin

732
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: Kamara had this great combine Jalen Hurds mom put out

733
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Um, there's a reason Alvin Kamara was the backup.

734
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: I mean what and then and then and then and

735
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: then she finished it off with you'll see, I mean

736
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: it's like what we earlier, earlier on this podcast, we

737
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: were talking about the fact that Dalvin Cook had a

738
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: terrible SPARK score, that he was ninth percentile. Alvin Kamara

739
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: seventy ninth percent He was the highest scoring running back.

740
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: He killed it. He killed it from an athletic standpoint.

741
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: But when I keep going back to is even after

742
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Heard left, after he transferred out of the program,

743
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: there is the guy who led the team in in

744
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: rushing attempts and yards was the quarterback Josh Dobbs. John

745
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: Kelly was still there. He's still got a lot of opportunity.

746
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: I just keep feeling and look, I know, I know.

747
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: The argument is what you see a guy do in

748
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: college is not necessarily indicative of everything he can do.

749
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: But I just keep asking, if he can do so

750
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: much more, why didn't Tennessee ask him to do more?

751
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: Why is it that he even even once Jalen Heard

752
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: was gone, most of what you saw from Alvin Kamara

753
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: was kind of as a passing down back, as a

754
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: third down back, that sort of thing. He just he

755
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: never had more than I think eight team touches in

756
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,479
Speaker 1: a game at any point. The usage rate just wasn't

757
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: there to give me the kind of confidence to think

758
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: that he can be, especially now this talk that he

759
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 1: could be a Day one guy. That's crazy. I've even

760
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: heard that some teams have him as their number one

761
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: running back. Come on, this blows me away exactly, Like,

762
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't see and so I'm still waiting.

763
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: I keep wanting, I keep wanting to go back and

764
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: seeing him. Maybe I missed something, but I'm just I'm

765
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,720
Speaker 1: blown away by that. So the overall scores for Alvin

766
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: Kamara five ten. He's two fifteen pounds, so you know,

767
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: it's not he's not small, but he's definitely not a

768
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: bigger back. He's a good size for running back. But

769
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: you take a look at some of his overall numbers

770
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: of four or five, six forty, which is it's so

771
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: so uh. He had fifteen reps on the bench, which

772
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: is again pretty so so uh. He had a thirty

773
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: nine and a half inch vertical which is out standing.

774
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: That is outstanding, And then you take a look um

775
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: at what he did in terms of the broad jump.

776
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: He had on eleven foot broad jump as well, which

777
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: was the highest scoring or the furthest difference distance traveled

778
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: on the broad jump. The best score on the broad

779
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: jump is one I'm trying to stay here for Alvin Kamara.

780
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: So his overall Sparks score was was pretty high. But again,

781
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. You take a look at some of

782
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: the forty, you know, and the bench. It's not like

783
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: he's got burner speed. It's not like he's got a

784
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 1: Cray easy good you know strength either. So I guess

785
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: I'm just confused. Once it goes to the Jags in

786
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: the second round, though, I'm gonna absolutely convince myself. Okay,

787
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: I like it. Um, of course, when you see al

788
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: mckamar backup running back and then you see the Tennessee thing,

789
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people make that comparison to Arian Foster,

790
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: but Arian Foster was didn't he go undrafted? So I

791
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: think I think that is the I think that's the difference.

792
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: I think that's the difference. All right, Um, Alex Gelhart

793
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: talked to me about Deshaun Watson. Well, I think, uh,

794
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks ares uh part of the draft upcoming draft

795
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: that I'm fascinated to watch play out because there's really

796
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: like there's really no consensus. Number one, I feel, depending

797
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: on who you talk to, someone say it's Deshaun Kaiser,

798
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: some say it's Mitchell Trubisky and others say Deshaun Watson.

799
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: I think Watson was carrying the most uh strangely perhaps

800
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: uh knocks against him coming into the combine of Hunter

801
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: maccracy issues or or downfield accuracies, band of decision making

802
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: with some of the turnovers, but seventeen interceptions. He he

803
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: lit it up at the combine. He was accurate on

804
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: his on his his drops, his footwork was great, He

805
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: was precise, and he looked cool, and apparently he did

806
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: well in the interviews, so I hope that bolstered him.

807
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna be I'm really fascinated to see

808
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: where these guys go in the draft because I'm wondering

809
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: if this isn't gonna be like what year was it

810
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: twenty eleven where Cam went first and then like it

811
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: was Jake Locker went high and Gabbett went high and

812
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: then Christian Ponder was also drafted as well, Like what

813
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: is happening? So I'm curious to see if that will

814
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: happen in this draft as well. Um, And I thought

815
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson really helped his cause in this in this

816
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: area here because the one the one thing that he

817
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: has working in his favorite things. We talked to one

818
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: in the preview is he's a winner and he's done

819
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: it against the best of the best in college football,

820
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: which something the other guys can't say. He does look

821
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: so poised. He does very poised. I don't know, man,

822
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's Tim. That's the Tim Tebow talking

823
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: points now, please, it's a winner. Tim Tebow never threw

824
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: a pass as pretty as some of the one great

825
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: in interviews. I don't know. I would let him date

826
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: my daughter. All we need to hear is that one.

827
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: Then we've hit. Then we've hit the Tebow cycle. There

828
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: would be a little creepy because she's twenty months but whatever. Um, yeah,

829
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: you know what. The whole thing I do that that

830
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: one baffling draft with the Jake Locker Christian ponder thing.

831
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: I think that also holds his stigma for teams like

832
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: I not doing that. Again, that's not from history a

833
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: little bit, because none of those three panned out. Even

834
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: in the world where Mike Glennon seems like a pretty

835
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, like a like an altern like a an

836
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: actual starting quarterback next season, I think a lot of

837
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks just seem a little too risky, especially when

838
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: you have such depth, especially in the secondary. And I'm

839
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: looking at the defensive players. I'm looking at Buck Brooks

840
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: the mock draft that he put out on on NFL

841
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: dot com just recently, where has Miles Garrett and then

842
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: Malee Cooker, Jamal Adams and then just defensive players getting

843
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: off the board because it just seems so much safer.

844
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: And if you saw the defensive backs running on the

845
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: last day of the combine, You're like, yeah, I don't

846
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't like any quarterbacks. Now there is five dudes

847
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: like four four four three forties, and like, oh, Mike

848
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: Lennon's like, these bad quarterbacks are gonna have it even

849
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: worse now because these guys are tall and they're fast,

850
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: and they got good ball skills, and I think they're

851
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna have like at some point they're gonna have to

852
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: make legislation where it's like cornerbacks can only be five nine,

853
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: five nine. If you're above there, above five nine, you

854
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: have to play receiver. I love it. I absolutely love it. Um.

855
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: And do you talk to me about some J. P. Ryan.

856
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: I loved him coming into the year. Um. I thought

857
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: he was okay, Uh, you know what is he like

858
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: saying his j Yeah, well, I think the combine kind

859
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: of uh cemented some things people expected. He doesn't have

860
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: breakaway long speed or anything like that. He is he

861
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: ran the forty in the mid four sixes, Yes that

862
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: I mean, but you watch his tape. He was never

863
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: running away from anybody, It's true, but he was. He

864
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: would steam roll some people and he proved also the

865
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: benefit which is more from the combine, which is a

866
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: little bit more useful for a player like him, is

867
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: he showed great lateral agility in short area quickness in

868
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: the other drills drilling, which was surprising, which was I

869
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: mean surprising for him to finish so high. So I

870
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: think that's why it. It probably has swayed some concerns

871
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: for teams. And I like him, and I put saying

872
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: Boom Williams on here as well, because they both had

873
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: solid combines to back up a little bit of pre

874
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: combined hype. I think these are going to be names

875
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: that we kind of want to watch. Jeremy McNichols, I

876
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: think would be another one, and Lands hyped him up

877
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: to at Boise State. Out of Boise State. If if

878
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: the right team scoops these guys up in those middle

879
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: to late rounds like four through six, we could see

880
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: kind of a Jordan Howard or Alfred Moore a situation

881
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: where if one of these guys wins out or gets

882
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: the opportunity, they could be relatively productive in fantasy. I'm

883
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: not saying they're gonna set rookie records or anything, but

884
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: they could. They could put up some solid And that's

885
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: also worth noting too. With with p Ryan. I mean,

886
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: this is the guy who ended up getting more attention

887
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: because of Joe Mixon not being on the field at Oklahoma,

888
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: Mixing was the number one the hands down, uh you know,

889
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: top back there in Norman, and then when he had

890
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: his off field issues uh and wasn't playing, then p

891
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: Ryan started to get more. But I mean keep in mind,

892
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean even before Mixing was a household name, p

893
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: Ryan was setting literally the collegiate record for rushing yards

894
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: in a single game. Where do you have like four

895
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: thirty in a game? I mean, so this, this guy

896
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: is a good player in and of his own right. Um,

897
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to be. I thought he

898
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: was gonna win that starting job mostly because look, Mixing

899
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 1: is um a bit of a headache off the field.

900
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: We saw the tape of him, you know, hitting that woman. Um,

901
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: and so that's obviously that's horrendous. It's funny. P Ryan

902
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: is the exact opposite. P Ryan is, by all accounts,

903
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: a good dude. P Ryan is a well spoken guy,

904
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: very interesting, introspective. I really liked what I heard from

905
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: p Ryan um off the field as well. I saw

906
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: a bunch of his interviews as well. Man he is.

907
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: I love saman J p Ryan. I just was super

908
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: disappointed in that mid four six forty. Um. I just

909
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 1: don't know if that gets it done in the NFL.

910
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: But you're right, short airing quickness was pretty good. Um.

911
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: Can we talk about some of the combined losers and

912
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: I think to me, the the one guy that stood

913
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: out in terms of just his stock falling was Cooper Cup. Yeah, um,

914
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. The one thing I said, one of the

915
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: things I said about him going to the combine after

916
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: his big Senior Bowl week when he got all this

917
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: hype and started to get a lot of more attention,

918
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: was that he had to go to the combine and

919
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: he didn't necessarily have to run fast, but he didn't.

920
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: But he couldn't be slow. Ain't turned out to be

921
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of slow four six two and a four six

922
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: for a wide receiver. I mean, because you figure he's

923
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: already he already has the one strike against him of

924
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 1: the conference he played in, being at Eastern Washington, playing

925
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: in the Big Sky Conference, where you're not lining up

926
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 1: against a lot of great teams, pass heavy offense, pass

927
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,479
Speaker 1: heavy offense. Um. You know, And I know that people

928
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: like to talk about, you know, what he did against

929
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: Washington back in UM and I need to go back

930
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: and watch this because I I need to confirm this

931
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: for myself, because the virginal of the talk was, well,

932
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: you know, he really took it out on Marcus Peters.

933
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: But now there's some other reports, some you know, maybe

934
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: some potential alternative facts that maybe he didn't line up

935
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: against Peters nearly as much as people said. So I'm

936
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: trying to Peters was on the field right, but not right.

937
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: So I want to go back and see that for myself. UM.

938
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: But you know, it just I mean, he took he

939
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: took a lot of that kind that the Senior Bowl momentum,

940
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: and it just kind of laid there on the turf.

941
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: And I will I want to add though, too, that

942
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: the time is not the the end all be all

943
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: for or wide receivers. We've seen a lot of guys,

944
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: or maybe not a lot, but we've seen a number

945
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: of good players still produced at the NFL level with

946
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: subpar forties. Kelvin Benjamin ran a four six one and

947
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: Kum Bolden ran a four seven seven. Larry Fitzgerald I

948
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: think ran in the four sixes as well. Like It's

949
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: it's not a death sentence for a guy who and

950
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: especially for a guy like Cup who people have praised

951
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: his route running, in his ability to to you know,

952
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: set up his moves and and sfenders and stuff like that.

953
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't need elite long speed to get himself open

954
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: the different and I look and I want to like Cup.

955
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: The difference is between him and those other guys you

956
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 1: mentioned is that those other guys also performed well against

957
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: higher level competition. That's fair. Jerry Rice ran a four

958
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: seven allegedly, but I doubt that. Butit Gerald went to

959
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: pit so he was in the A C C garbage

960
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: garage super worse. What the Yukon dbs that he was?

961
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: Why Why was Cooper Cup? Why was he celebrate Because

962
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: if stuff he was doing on the football field at

963
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl, and now people don't like him because

964
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: he wasn't good in track and field events. Fine, like, fine,

965
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: let him drop. I don't care. I'll take him will

966
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: he's a good listen, I I got I get the Knox.

967
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: But when somebody comes out of him and it is

968
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: impressive going against other football players, I would I put

969
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: more stock into that. And I think that there's some

970
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: coaches and gmsh we're looking at that are probably probably

971
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: secretly delighted. I think I think part of Cooper Cups

972
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: evaluation will eventually be where he gets drafted. Um, you know,

973
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: like if he's a day two guy somewhere, Um, I

974
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: think people will look at it a little more reasonably

975
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: than if you know, people were talking about him as

976
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: a first round guy. Uh so, look, I get all that,

977
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, it just it was it was not what

978
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: people were expecting from him after the Senior Bowl. I mean,

979
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: I think also when we talk about guys like Kelvin

980
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: Benjamin or Larry for Gerald, I mean, it's just a

981
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: size matchup problem, right Like Cooper Cup is six to

982
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: two oh five. That's not a that's not a physical

983
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 1: matchup problem, you know what I mean? He's gonna beat

984
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: you with precision route running and what we thought was

985
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: plus speed. I mean, when I heard Mike Mayok talk

986
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: about Cooper cup Um and talking about how he could

987
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: just get away from defenders, blah blah blah blah blah,

988
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking, Okay, this kid. I mean, and by

989
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: the way, if you've never seen games, he's such an

990
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: awkward runner. I mean, it's all needs and elpos. It's

991
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 1: not he is not a smooth but he is getting

992
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: away from dbs so at six two two oh five. Look,

993
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: he's he's not beating you with just Kelvin Benjamin was slow,

994
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: but man, that dude is boxing you out. He's a

995
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 1: power forward playing wide receiver. Larry Fitzgerald just strong as

996
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: an ox. He's gonna box you out. Cooper Cups not

997
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: that dude. He's gonna beat you with precision. And again,

998
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: what we thought was some decent long speed. But man,

999
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: four six, I don't know. You know what I wonder

1000
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: a G two if did he train properly for the

1001
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: forty You know what I mean? Some guys just work

1002
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: on football drills, and some guys literally prepare for these

1003
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: combined events. I wonder if Cooper Cup actually got proper

1004
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: coaching to work on his forty time, who knows. But

1005
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean we're spending a lot of time on Cooper

1006
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: Cup here. I think we should probably move on. The

1007
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: other loser I wanted to add was down to Foreman

1008
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: because he was a guy who talked about in the

1009
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: preview that people were wondering about, you know, some weight

1010
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: issues with them. How would he stack up? And stuff

1011
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: comes in, Uh medicals reveal a stress fat fracture in

1012
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: his foot. Good know about so he couldn't do anything

1013
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: at the comment, hey, what are you waiting at two

1014
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: forty because his playing weight was two fifty play he

1015
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: was most recently clocked at like two fifty. I think

1016
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: he came in a little lighter. Yeah, so he had

1017
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: lost a lot of weight in in preparation for the combine.

1018
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: But it was oh man, it's it sucks for him

1019
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: because you know, again he was very productive at Texas.

1020
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: But again that's retfracturing his foot prevented him from running

1021
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: and it reminded me a little bit of I'm a

1022
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: different type of injury. But David Cobb a couple of

1023
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: years ago was running the forty and uh, pulled a

1024
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: quad or something that and that kind of slowed the

1025
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: whole role of his Brooki year. I mean he would

1026
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: turn not to beat that great of a player, So

1027
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: uh didn't impact everything. But just it's not a good chance.

1028
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: It's not a great start for Don Foreman. It's very true,

1029
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: all right, should we make a call into the wild?

1030
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: I think we shall give me just a second here

1031
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,479
Speaker 1: to dial. Okay, we're gonna make a call into the wild.

1032
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna call the old franchise Franchet though. We're gonna

1033
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: see what he's going on with. Let's let's keep talking Coop.

1034
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: Should we call? I don't want to say that. One

1035
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: of the maybe one of the bigger surprises of the

1036
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: weekend was our our new colleague Steve Smith. Oh, he's

1037
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: the best. Having Cooper Cup is his number one wide

1038
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: receiver in your face. So he did he did, Steve

1039
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 1: Smith said, Cooper cups number one. Yes, bro sports breaking, sports,

1040
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: blood and guts ice up. Son had the Cooper Cup.

1041
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: First of all, he was hilarious. He was he was

1042
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: very good. It's good. It was like stand up comedy

1043
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: out there's not let's not be there's funny for an athlete,

1044
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: and then there's genuinely funny people. I would put Steve

1045
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,919
Speaker 1: Smith in the genuinely funny person. Okay, you're just saying

1046
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: that because you're afraid that he's gonna listen to this

1047
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,720
Speaker 1: podcast at some point and find you know, he already

1048
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: doesn't like me. It's cool, Is that true? Uh? He

1049
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: doesn't back when I was on a different podcast. Let's go,

1050
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: let's see what happens. This is gonna be interesting. We're

1051
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: making a call into the Wild franchise. Do we have you?

1052
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we got franchise. What's up? Hey, guys, what's

1053
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: going on? Fancy Live podcast? That was the least clean

1054
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: call into the Wild we've done. But and it didn't

1055
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: mean to cut you off on your epic story rank

1056
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: about whatever the heck? It was perfect. That's a good

1057
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: that's a good producer. That's great producer. Movie. You know.

1058
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: I I'm surprised that the franchise would come on this

1059
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: podcast with us. After the Oh my god, the debut

1060
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: episode of Trying to See Hipsters podcast. They you know,

1061
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: five vinutes into the show were taking random shots at this.

1062
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,959
Speaker 1: That wasn't me. That was harmon times. When harmon rants,

1063
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: you just have to let him go. Hey, man, what

1064
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: are you up to right now? But I'm actually looking

1065
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: at some some articles, some recaps on the combine because

1066
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: I got an article of my own to write for

1067
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pro. Al Right, what's so, what's the what's the research? Yeah,

1068
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 1: what's the topic that you got going on for your

1069
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: own article? My article will be combined surprises, So I'm

1070
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: just kind of combing through some of the what were

1071
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: the expectations for certain guys and some guys that sort

1072
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: of jumped jumped off the page, and some guys that disappointed.

1073
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: And I was pretty upset that my boy Dante Foreman

1074
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: didn't show up because he hadn't a foot injury. But

1075
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: and your other boy, Jamal Williams kind of had a

1076
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: disappointing outing at the combine from what I was seeing,

1077
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: he did what the guy from b y U, Yeah,

1078
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 1: head of a little bit of a disappointing outing. Yeah,

1079
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean the running backs weren't too exciting, though. There

1080
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: was some exciting stuff going on with the wide receivers though,

1081
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: So that's nice to see. Yeah for sure. All right,

1082
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: there you go. Hey, how was your How was the

1083

Speaker 1: fantasy for podcast? Dude? Oh? It was good. It was awesome.

1084
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: I've actually just was texting with Harmon right now. We're

1085
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: looking at some topics for this week's episode, and uh,

1086
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to keep that a secret for now,

1087
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: but it's thank you. Okay, there you go. I didn't

1088
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: get through. I got through the first twenty minutes of

1089
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: the potest I was. I was very impressed. I liked

1090
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: it a lot. Well, thanks James Cole. There you go,

1091
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: all right, right after they were crowing about their sponsorship,

1092
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: so he listened about two minutes of it. Uh, pants

1093
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: are no pants when you write these articles? The sweat pants,

1094
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: sweat pants, so barely pants? It was. It was kind

1095
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: of chilling in Los Angeles. Yeah, okay, it's warmed up.

1096
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: Other question, do you believe in drinking while writing? Uh? No, no,

1097
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: drinking while writing? No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not

1098
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: that kind of writer. I drink after I write to

1099
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: reward myself. Oh okay, okay, I'll throw that out to

1100
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: the room I'm in. I'm in a room full of writers.

1101
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: And if you guys believe in drinking while writing, I

1102
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: mean not while I'm here on the clock, but not

1103
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: at my desk and work Marcus and I have discussed

1104
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: it before. If you're writing creatively or other things, follow

1105
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: the advice of great Ernest anyway and right drunk, edit sober.

1106
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's exactly what I'm saying. Do

1107
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: you guys believe that I do? I subscribe to that?

1108
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: Not every time. It's uh, I think it's an unsustainable practice.

1109
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: Rank I'm usually clean. Okay, alright, going that? Alright, fair enough,

1110
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 1: fair enough. How's how's Mrs Franchise doing? Buddy? Oh, she's

1111
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: doing really well. She's doing really well. She had she

00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: had the I Heart Radio Music Awards last night that

1113
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 1: she was at. Was that yesterday? Was that in Burbank?

1114
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: Is that in Burbank? What do they do that there?

1115
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 1: It was at the forum? Okay, right here in l A. Okay,

00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: daily DAPs to close out the show. All right, dayly

1131
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: dapt time, I'll kick us off. How about Legion. The

1132
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: FX show is so terrific. Oh my god, it's such

1133
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: a good show. Go check it out if if you

1134
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: have not already, really really good show. Uh, there are

1135
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: four episodes, and so I mean, I'm just I'm pumped

1136
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: about it. Uh, daily DAPs to run Rich Run. Um,

1137
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: I know he does it every single year. It goes

1138
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: to a good cause. But if you think about the

1139
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: humble beginnings of Run Rich Run and then where it

1140
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: is today, I think it's a testament to Rich. I

1141
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: think it's a testament to you know, um, you know,

1142
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: believing in something. So I just I'm impressed by it

1143
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: every single year. And I know it's such a simple,

1144
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: simple concept, but um, the fact that you know he's

1145
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: able to raise so much money for St. Jude uh

1146
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: Children's Hospital, whatever, I don't know, Man, I think it's

1147
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: very impressive. So that's very cool. Um. I'll also piggyback

1148
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: on that. I will give daily DAPs to after day

1149
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: one of the combine, after the running backs ran. After

1150
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: the combine was over, NFL Network had a very lengthy

1151
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: and in depth conversation about Joe Mixon not invited to

1152
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: the combine. UH is expected to be drafted probably, you know,

1153
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,439
Speaker 1: if we're just talking about talent, this is a dude

1154
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: that could go in the first round, probably won't go

1155
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: uh till you know, the second possibly the third day,

1156
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: but probably in day number two of the NFL draft,

1157
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: somewhere in the second to third round. But was not

1158
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: invited to the combine because you know, the video surface

1159
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: of him a couple of years ago punching a woman

1160
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: in the face when he was a student at Oklahoma.

1161
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: It was hard to watch that video. Um. He had

1162
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: apologized for um, YadA, YadA, YadA, but he's had some

1163
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: other incidents as well. The NFL did not invite him

1164
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: to the combine because of it, and they had such

1165
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: an interesting conversation on the network about what it means.

1166
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: Should they have invited him but not let him run?

1167
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: Should they force him to do counseling? I mean, I thought,

1168
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: Mike Mayocks, take of look, bring him, don't let him

1169
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: or invite him, don't let him run any events, but

1170
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: let make him run the gauntlet of interviews and just

1171
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: put him through the ringer and let's see what the

1172
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: kid is all about. Um. And I think he also suggested, uh,

1173
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, therapy, counseling, which I'm a big proponent of.

1174
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't see how you take a guy in the

1175
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 1: NFL who has this history and don't require some level

1176
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: of counseling and therapy. I just don't see it. But

1177
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: kudos to NFL Network because look, they spent about ten

1178
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: minutes on it, and it was a fearless conversation. Producers

1179
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: had to have a hand in that, the anchors had

1180
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 1: to have a hand in that, the analysts had to

1181
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: have a hand in that, and they all bought in.

1182
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: They all bought in, and I and I really enjoyed

1183
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: that conversation. I thought to me as much as I love,

1184
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, I love the combine. To me, that was

1185
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: the most interesting thing of day one. Uh Marcus screen,

1186
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: go ahead. Do you think he gets I don't. I

1187
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: firmly believe he doesn't get drafted. I think he's definitely

1188
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: get drafted. I feel, well, you think of people who

1189
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: have had got drafted in round five, but there wasn't video,

1190
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: was there. I think of somebody I I go back

1191
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: to what Vontes Burfett went through, and just somebody who

1192
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: obviously is a first round talent who didn't get drafted

1193
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: at all. And I think a lot of teams will

1194
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 1: see that, especially, you know. And it's sad to say,

1195
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: but partly because there's a deep running back class that

1196
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: teams are gonna start saying, you know what, maybe not,

1197
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: let's go somewhere else. You know what, he gets invited

1198
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: to what you might be right, he and he gets

1199
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 1: invited to some He might even end up in Kansas

1200
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: City or somebody. It seems like the NFL it's gonna

1201
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: want him in a place that has an established head

1202
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: coach who will know how to handle situations like that.

1203
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: That's why Kansas City comes up and some of the

1204
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: other ones but you would obviously think of Pittsburgh or

1205
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: something like that. Uh, but I think it's gonna be

1206
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: very tough for him, all right, Marcus Grant, Dailey Depps

1207
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: Uh Dailey the company Lapps one. Uh. I know Alex

1208
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: that that get out last week, But I just want

1209
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 1: to follow up on that because I saw it over

1210
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: the weekend and it was super good, super good. Um

1211
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: really is as thought provoking as everyone says it is.

1212
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: I just really was kind of inspired, uh wrote something.

1213
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: It is my pinned tweet. I just had a quick

1214
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: blog post about some of my thoughts. So you can

1215
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: go check that out there also, uh Daily Depths to

1216
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: the Americans, which starts back this week. Um. So I've

1217
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: been going back and binge watching last season season four.

1218
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: This is season five? Is it really season five of

1219
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: the Americans? And the show has been fantastic. I mean,

1220
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: if you don't know the basic premise is, you know

1221
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: one thing about it, it's uh, it's early, it's early

1222
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties and it's uh, you know, you know, it's

1223
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: uh you know the times they are chanson. Um. But

1224
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: basically the premises a pair of Russian spies has you know,

1225
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: living in the United States as husband and wife with

1226
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: kids and you know, doing spy things while living across

1227
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: the street from an FBI counter terrorism agent in that

1228
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,919
Speaker 1: hole because obviously, because obviously. But it's it's incredibly well done,

1229
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: very dramatic, very well acted directed, all that stuff. Um,

1230
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: and it comes back on Tuesday for season five. So

1231
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm very much looking forward to all right, very good stuff.

1232
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,439
Speaker 1: Alex Galhart Wiskit from Wisconsin. Well, I mentioned off the top,

1233
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: I'd be remiss if I didn't give an official daily

1234
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: depth to Logan. Wolverine was always my favorite superhero growing up,

1235
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 1: and uh so this was great. I thought. Hugh Jackman

1236
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: has done a tremendous job with the character, whether or

1237
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: not the previous movies were up to snuff, but this

1238
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: was a fitting end I thought for his run as Wolverine. Um,

1239
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: And it was just an overall a great movie. Do

1240
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: Not Bring your kids, really, its b R Race, It's good.

1241
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Do Not bring your children. We were talking about this

1242
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: this morning, but I was like it was good in

1243
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: a way because like Wolverine as a superhero, his his

1244
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: fighting style like kind of necessitates violence in a way.

1245
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: He's not you know, he's not Captain America that can

1246
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: just you know, punch some guys and then hog time

1247
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: and be like Go America or Superman who can fly

1248
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: around and save everything peacefully like Wolverine's look different animals,

1249
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: So you get to see a little bit of that

1250
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: in this. But it was great. And then the other

1251
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: quick daily DApp is to a board game I played

1252
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: for the second time this weekend called Betrayal at House

1253
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: on the Hill. It's it's really fun. So it starts

1254
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: out it starts out as a fully collaborative you I

1255
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: think you can play with the six people. You're all

1256
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: exploring this haunted house. And as you you expand the board,

1257
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: there are little tiles with the rooms you go into.

1258
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: It's got multiple floors. As you go into rooms, certain

1259
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: events get trigger. And what's cool about it is about

1260
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: about a midpoint through the game, depending on how you

1261
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: unraveled the house, which is never the same way two

1262
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: times in a row. Because he shove full of tiles,

1263
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: it flips and one of the characters, one of the players,

1264
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: then becomes the bad guy and they get a separate

1265
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: script and like stuff that they're working off of, like

1266
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: you might get a monster. I was playing, I became

1267
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: the bad guy. So I was trying to help Death

1268
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: win a game of chess, and every time he would win,

1269
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,439
Speaker 1: like or take a piece in the game of chess,

1270
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: everybody else would get injured and stuff like that. So

1271
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: it flips the script and then everybody else is trying

1272
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: to scramble and beat the betrayer and stuff like that,

1273
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: and it's it's really cool and it's fun because you

1274
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: can play it a bunch and it's never exactly the

1275
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: same game. I like it, So it's it's very cool.

1276
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 1: Betrayal at House on the Hill. I would check it

1277
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 1: out if you're into board games and other nursery like that.

1278
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I love it. Adam Rank Daily DAPs. I'm gonna start

1279
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: with I don't know if I had mentioned this last week,

1280
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: but the HBO show Crashing about it's about a comic

1281
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: who gets divorced and he starts uh crashing with other

1282
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: comedians and the first week he crashes with already laying

1283
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 1: and what does that mean? Uh, well, he's kicked out

1284
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: of the house. He's not he has nowhere to stay.

1285
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: So after a show, okay, okay, yes, already laying. Hey,

1286
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: can I can I stay at your place? Um? And

1287
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be him and already laying

1288
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,919
Speaker 1: the whole season. But it seems like I didn't watch

1289
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: uh Sunday Nights. But it seems like every week it's

1290
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna be somebody new because this week's it's supposed to

1291
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: be t J. Miller. So it's a good it's a

1292
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: good Uh, it's a good show. I know that there's

1293
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 1: some comics. Some of my friends were like, this is unrealistic,

1294
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: and of course it's done a little bit for television,

1295
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: but it's pretty accurate. It's a pretty nice like, yeah,

1296
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: this is this is more true than not tro Like

1297
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: there's it's obviously an exaggeration, but still okay, Well give

1298
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: me like one trope or or one theme that is

1299
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: this guy is obsessed with asking everybody like how did

1300
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: I do? And he he will say just one joke

1301
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: and he'll he'll harp on it like that's that's literally

1302
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: like what it's like living with or being with anybody

1303
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 1: was the same. I'm listening, I do the same thing

1304
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: I would did that work? What do you think that

1305
01:05:58,120 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: you like the wording here? I will do that with

1306
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: tweets like I all that crowd? What do you think

1307
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: of the wording like the kirt cut. Actually know that one.

1308
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: But like sometimes I'll be like, do you like the

1309
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: wording on this? Should I should I rearrange it? Do

1310
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: you understand what what quarterback goggles means? And then all

1311
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: it takes is one person to be like, that's stupid.

1312
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: You're like, you're right, I'm not even I'll never touch

1313
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: it again. Uh, there's a there's a there's a there's

1314
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: a Peyton Manning joke I do in my act that

1315
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: people love, but comedians hated it. And every time I

1316
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: would do it in an open mic, it would get nothing,

1317
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: and I would be like, okay, so this must be garbage.

1318
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: So one time, for whatever reason, UM, I used it

1319
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 1: in a Bray improv or Irvine improv show and it

1320
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: brought the house down, and I'm like, that's really funny.

1321
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Like and I'm like, those stupid elitist comedians, bastard comics,

1322
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: they're the worst. They're they're the worst. Where it's general,

1323
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: we're the worst. Speaking of comics, David Letterman did an

1324
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: interview uh just this week, just came out on Monday. Uh,

1325
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: if you have an opportunity to go up and read it,

1326
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a. It's a nice, nice reminder of

1327
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: what we're missing with him not being around, especially with

1328
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: our current political climate. UH adapts to the Angels their

1329
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: winning streak finally ended. They will not go undefeated. Adapts

1330
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: the match shoemaker, who is back. He got hit in

1331
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: the head with a baseball UH last year, and it's

1332
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: so frightening. And the thing about baseball is the smallest

1333
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: thing lives with you forever. When I was playing in

1334
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: high school, one day, one day, during bat during batting practice,

1335
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: some kid hit up flyball. It might have been we

1336
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: might have been doing warm uths hit a flyball. It

1337
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: was a gray ball on an overcast day, and I

1338
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: couldn't see it. And for the rest of my life,

1339
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: if I go play softball today, I will be afraid

1340
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: that I'm not going to see the ball off the bat.

1341
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 1: And it freaks you out. So for him to come

1342
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: back from an injury like that is pretty good. And

1343
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: UH adapts to the Arizona diamondback who had a viral

1344
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: video with Oscar Hernandez and Brandon Drury playing cats with

1345
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 1: a kid in the outfield. Like the kids just in

1346
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: the outfield, they're playing cat. It's really cool. Go search

1347
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 1: it out. It's it's pretty awesome now, uh to talk

1348
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: you guys, can you can bounce if you don't want

1349
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: to hear about fast But I'm upset. It was a

1350
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: terrible pay per view and I felt it was booked

1351
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: horribly from start to finish. There is nothing that a

1352
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: fanboy will be able to sink his teeth into. Like

1353
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 1: that was a great satisfying conclusion. Bailey win. This spoilers

1354
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: by the way, Bailey beat Charlotte, but of course she

1355
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: has to have Sasha's help. Let it. Bailey win, like,

1356
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: we don't need her. We don't need that that Asparix,

1357
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: um Enzo and Cass did not win. Um the Roman

1358
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: this The great thing about the main event was that

1359
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: it made me forget how upset I was that Roman

1360
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: Reigns won Like broun Stroman, You've built this superstar up,

1361
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: a guy who seems to be unbeatable, and you have

1362
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: them lose it fast Lane to Roman Reigns under the

1363
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: most ridiculous circumstances, to which, like I I really like.

1364
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: At the end of the show, I'm like, do you

1365
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: want me to continue to watch this product? I might not,

1366
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people are you keep watching,

1367
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,640
Speaker 1: Like I don't have to because there's SmackDown and there

1368
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: is n x T And I could watch the both

1369
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: of them and not watched raw pay per views or

1370
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: anything like that because what they did in the main event.

1371
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: And I think that all of us had conditioned ourselves

1372
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: to believe that Kevin Owens was gonna drop the belt

1373
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: to Bill Goldberg. It seemed like an inevitability. Uh. It

1374
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 1: was very reminiscent of when CM punk had been carrying

1375
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: the company, Hey the Rocks back dropped the strap to him,

1376
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 1: let him and seeing a fight in WrestleMania. So with

1377
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: Goldberg back, who was going to be fighting rock Rock

1378
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 1: Lessner at WrestleMania. Of course they were going to give

1379
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: him the belt. But it was so stupid and it

1380
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: just doesn't stop your outrage. And I know that there's

1381
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: uh because I've had the benefit of meeting some people

1382
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,640
Speaker 1: who are in the industry who'll be like, hey, but

1383
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: this could be a long term thing where you know,

1384
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: Lessner wins at WrestleMania and then he fights Kevin Owens.

1385
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, except that's not gonna happen, Like Kevin Owens

1386
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: will never be heard from again because Roman Reins is

1387
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 1: going to be the guy fighting brock Lessner at Summer's

1388
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:14,719
Speaker 1: Lamb And you know what, I will not be watching

1389
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: if that's the case, So terrible pay for you. I'm

1390
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: not here first, I'm not excited for WrestleMania. Bring on
