1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: Wow, Hey there everybody, It is Wednesday two. Welcome to 2 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we poured the serial first, 3 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: but you know, we're open to hearing arguments. It's me 4 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: and your man, nam G Marcus Grant alongside Michael f Floria. 5 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: We got producer Randy at the controls, uh Floria. We 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: were we were talking and I'm gonna we have a 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: guest that we're going to introduce in just a moment um. 8 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: But you being a Mets fan and me being a 9 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: Dodger fan, we were both living the same amount of 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: anguish watching the Mets cough up a lead, and I 11 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: think especially because it was Jack Peterson that was one 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: of the prime culprits involved in it. Um. I don't 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: know about you, but for me, that was doubly painful 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: last night. It was trivially painful for me because I 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: benched Chuck Peterson in my Fantasy Gainst Fall League last 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: uh this week, so that that hurt. Uh. Yeah. I 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: turned the game off when it was eight too, as 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: I watched an episode of Severance and then I was like, 19 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: let me check this more. I was like, the Mets 20 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: are are tied or they were up by once. I 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: I caught the whole end of that painful, painful loss 22 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: last night. But Severance is a good show at least 23 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: so I am four episodes in and I kind of 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: think I know what's happening, But you don't really know, 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: you really, I watched the whole first season. I have 26 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: no idea what's happened. I know now, but I didn't 27 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: know as it was happening. I know we're getting way 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: off topic already, and we and we have to bring 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: our guests them. But have you watched Better Call Saul 30 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: for this week yet? So no, I have not. I 31 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: need to check it out. I need to let me 32 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: know when you do. Also guess giving the thumbs up. 33 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: It is so good Also because the writer, I think 34 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: the guy who wrote that episode is a fan of 35 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: of our show of Fantasy Live. At least I know 36 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: he watches the show. Um, he's the one that I asked. 37 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: I said I was worried about Kim Wexer, and he 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: told me that I should be so Um that part. Uh, 39 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: that's like a perfect way. This seems like a perfect 40 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: way to bring in our guests. Who if you look, 41 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: if you follow the Fantasy space at all, you know him. 42 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: He has been doing this for a while. He is 43 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: not just a friend of the show. He's actually just 44 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: a friend of both of ours. Also a guy who 45 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: is well steeped in television. Uh. It is the one 46 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: and only. It is the all in kid himself. It 47 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: is Jake Seely, which I guess I should. I could 48 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: ask you about the Mets. I gotta ask you about Severance. 49 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you about better call Saul. I will 50 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: just throw it out to you and you can take 51 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: one of those topics and run with it. Mats. I 52 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: am glad I didn't wake back up like the East Coast. 53 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: I just pulled at my heart and then seeing that 54 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: the fact that DS had two outs and there's just 55 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: that we talked about before the show is the most 56 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: DS thing ever when he doesn't have it and it 57 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: just goes sideways. So not that I've never seen Severance, 58 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: I haven't yet. Uh. If this is like this is 59 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: a hard recommendation, yes, like, definitely check it out. Here's 60 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: the problem, Well, what I saw, I already know what 61 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: you're asking me at the end of the show, so 62 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: I'll save it to that point. But there's a problem 63 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: with Severance. I'll tell you in a second later. But yes, 64 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: better call saw major thumbs ups. Uh love that episode. 65 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: There's no way to say anything about that episode Floria 66 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: without like ruined anything. Yeah say, I was just love 67 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: that episode. And I also loved the Rescue Rangers reboot 68 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: with the best cameo of all that they say for 69 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: last and the credits. If you haven't seen it yet, 70 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: is why I'm wearing the ducking Duck shirt. Is that 71 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: was like nineties nostalgia overload, and then of course they 72 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: saved this guy for last at the very end. I 73 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: loved it. I've been seeing the trailers and the commercials 74 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: for it, so it is on my watch list. Um, 75 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: I haven't even heard of it. Oh yeah, check it 76 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: out a reboot movie. I also have to watch it 77 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: before Obi Wan Kenobi starts on Friday, because then well 78 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: that was okay, Well then we'll just get to that 79 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: part of the Yeah, we'll get to that a little 80 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: bit later. We got we have to talk about there 81 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: are some news headlines. Also do a little bit of 82 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: hype trainer smoke screen later on in the show. But 83 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: it's always fun to have Jake, you know, we'll get 84 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: Jake's thoughts on pop culture, and I guess serial too. 85 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're still doing are you still 86 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: doing serial rankings? By the way, I mean if there's 87 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: any news I live said. So two things. One is 88 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: milk first, by the way, not so I was gonna 89 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: say your milk first, guy, because for everybody out there, 90 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: before you go crazy, when you pour a second bowl 91 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: of cereal, do you take the milk back out? No, 92 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: You're already doing milk first anyway, you just don't even 93 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: realize it. The second thing is I continually go through 94 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: the cereal aisle at the store to see if there 95 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: are any new cereals, and so I am, but I'm 96 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: not like so the list I think almost got to 97 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: sixty seven or sixty eight ranked cereals, and I mean 98 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: a lot of them from memory like that. There's ones 99 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: that darning would existed anymore, Like do you remember how 100 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: awful the teenage mutant Ninja Turtle cereal was? So that's 101 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: in there like that kind of stuff. So I didn't 102 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: eat sixty eight cereals in two weeks or anything like that. 103 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm not gonna be in the hospital. But 104 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: if there are any news cereals, I do want to 105 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: check them out. Unfortunately I don't always catch them like 106 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: they had the uh the cinnamon filled mini bites. What 107 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: are they called the frost of mini mates? And then 108 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: I never saw him around here, never got him around here. 109 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: All cereals out there, If anybody has some, you know, 110 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: cinnamon frosted many weeks in whatever region they live in, Jake, 111 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: so he can write about them, that would be That 112 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: would be awesome, all right. In the meantime, I know 113 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: you write a lot about fantasy football. I know you 114 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: do some fantasy baseball as well, but let's talk some 115 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: football here. Um, this is not necessarily a heavy time 116 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: of the year for news, so we're always sort of 117 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: trying to manufacture some stuff. So I was able to 118 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: go through and kind of pick out some things that 119 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: I thought we were sort of interesting. One coming out 120 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: of Cleveland and the Browns, obviously they've got a new quarterback. 121 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: Will see how many games he actually plays for them 122 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: this year. But there is a thought that with Deshaun 123 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: Watson under center, that the Brown's plan to run a 124 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: lot more three wide receiver sets. They plan to run 125 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: a lot more run pass options more than they did 126 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: when they had Baker Mayfield as their starting quarterback. So 127 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: that sort of makes me wonder, Jake, if if they 128 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: are going to spread the field and let Deshaun Watson 129 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: do his thing, how worried should we be about a 130 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: guy like Nick Chubb when we're talking fantasy drafts. I'm 131 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: really not, mostly for two reasons. If you look at 132 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and his workload went, Baker threw a lot 133 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: in quotes through a lot, but the first is when 134 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: he was throwing in the teens and completions in the 135 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: teens and stuff like that. Nick Chubb's variance was all 136 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: over the like. It wasn't coinciding perfectly. Of Baker throws 137 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: thirty times, he only gets sixteen carries. He throws eighteen times, 138 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: he gets twenty seven carries. It was back and forth 139 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: and back and forth, and honestly, some of his higher 140 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: attempt games were the games that Chubb actually got four 141 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: three targets, which isn't a lot, but that's still with 142 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: Cream Hunt on the field. I think of anything you know, 143 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, assuming when he's playing and potentially more three wide. 144 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: You're also talking about off setting potentially with more plays, period. 145 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: So I'm not really worried about Chubb. It's more of 146 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: the fact that maybe Cream Hunt is the bigger hit 147 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: here and that he folds a little bit more into 148 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: the RB three James White's territory where he's so pass reliant. 149 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: Now he's only getting four five carriers a game. Warrior, 150 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: She's where he was getting, you know, seven, eight, nine, 151 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: ten carries a game. So I'm more worried about Hunt. 152 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about Chubb at all, And honestly, I 153 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: think that maybe he sees a few more targets per game, hopefully, 154 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: But in any case, I think it's kind of a 155 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: net neutral. Honestly, with Watson under center, that's interesting, you know, 156 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: I I not. I honestly hadn't looked into what the 157 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: you know, the carries were with Baker Mayfield. I think 158 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: the assumption is Shaun's gonna sling the ball down the field. 159 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna try to stretch the field. So maybe that 160 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: that takes away from Chubb. So maybe maybe maybe I'm 161 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: worried about nothing. Um I'm fine with I'm fine with 162 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: being worried about nothing. I'm fine with being a net neutral, 163 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. But Floria the next kind 164 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: of corollary to me is I went and looked at 165 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: the roster. Are there three bound Browns receivers that we 166 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: actually have interested I mean, there's a Mari Cooper, I 167 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: guess there's Donovan People's Jones. You know that there was 168 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: nobody there that immediately jumped out to me, especially now 169 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: that Jarvis Landry is in New Orleans. Can you can 170 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: you find a third guy you'd be interested in? Yeah? Actually, 171 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: to me, Donovan People's Jones is the third guy that 172 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm interested in. There. I think Marii Cooper is being 173 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: overlooked if if it all comes down to what happens 174 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: with the Shawn Watson. But if Watson plays the full 175 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: year or anything close to it, Mari Cooper going outside 176 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: like as like a borderline top twenty wide receiver seems 177 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: way too low. But then I think David Bell is 178 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: a name to to kind of circle on your list 179 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: right now. He I think is gonna be the one 180 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: that comes in and plays that Jarvis Landry role. I 181 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: think he can kind of excel in the slot there. 182 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: I think Donovan People's Jones is the perfect receiver to 183 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: go opposite of a Marii Cooper stretched to field, be 184 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: like that flanker there. But then I think that means 185 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: a lot of David Bell over the middle. And look, 186 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: I know he's not a wide receiver, but David and 187 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: Joeku is a is a sleeper tight end that I 188 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: like a lot as well. I think he's athletes. I 189 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: just I think they got Ridal Wolston Hooper they cleared. 190 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the tight ends behind him, 191 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: it's a bunch of guys with three names that I 192 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: never heard of, So like it has to be David 193 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: and Joku. Come Harrison Bryant, Come on, man, okay's backup. Yeah, 194 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm trying to google right now to see what Harrison 195 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: Bryant's middle name is. Uh see if he's got three 196 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: names in there. Uh, I'm not seeing anything right now. 197 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: Wikipedia is Yeah, Wikipedia is letting me down at the moment. 198 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: So if he has one, I don't know what it is. 199 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: So alright, two named tight end at this point. Um, 200 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm so interested to see what this Brown's 201 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: offense can be. And obviously, as we sort of have 202 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: danced around, the big question that needs to be answered 203 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: is how many games Deshaun Watson will be there for um, 204 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: and that's obviously gonna have an impact on what we 205 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: feel about Amari Cooper, about David Bell, about really any 206 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: of these guys, David and Joeku and the like. Because 207 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: I have no inside information, I just have a sneaking 208 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: suspicion that if the suspension is coming, it will probably 209 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: be somewhere in the six to eight games range. Um. 210 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: But of course, you know, we know the history of 211 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: sort of NFL discipline is it's kind of a moving targets. 212 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: We never really know, um. But yeah, you're telling me 213 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen before it happens, shockingly, 214 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: shockingly here's the and you know this Florio. I know 215 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: there are people out there that believe that because we 216 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: work for the NFL, that we have some sort of 217 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: inside information on this. I will tell you that the 218 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: advantage that we have over average people is that our 219 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: job allows us to sit and scroll Twitter all day. 220 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: Like that is kind of the advantage that most people 221 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: out there. You have an actual job that you have 222 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: to focus on, Like our job is me sitting here 223 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: doom scrolling and the hoovering down things like you know, 224 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: Kindrick board is greater than Vante Parker, Like that's all 225 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: that's what we do. Do you know the episode of 226 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 1: South Park where stands trying to return the mixer or 227 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: whatever that has dampened about the economy and they he 228 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: gets he finally gets to the guys and there's this 229 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: giant wheel and they kill a chicken and where it 230 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: dies is what they decide on. I have a feeling 231 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: that the NFL's like Punishment Office, like where did the 232 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: dead chicken? Laugh? Like, all right, there we go. Seven 233 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: games steam arbitrary right, like it's it's it's it is 234 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: very much a moving target. So like when I sit 235 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: here and I say I believe it's gonna be six 236 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: to eight games, I will I will preface it by 237 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: saying that is my own personal belief and I have 238 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: no information, uh that will give me a definitive answer 239 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: one or yeah. And somebody actually Randy just pointed out 240 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: it's also like the episode with the manatees that that 241 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: came up with the ideas for the Family Guy episodes 242 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: to how they just basically a bunch of colored balls, 243 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: and that's how how Family Guy comes up with its 244 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: with its ideas. Um, all right, let's moving on to 245 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Travis E. T N, who missed all of last 246 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: year unfortunately with a foot injury. He is reportedly a 247 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: full go in practice. UH, we will be seeing him, 248 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: hopefully for the first time. So Floria, what what is 249 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: your expectation for him this year. I'm pretty excited for 250 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: Travis E. T N. And UH, I wasn't last year 251 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: because I thought, you know, James Robinson and it is 252 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: a legit threat. I liked e t n s profile 253 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: and everything. And I keep going back to the fact that, uh, 254 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: next Gen Stats has this tool where they factored in 255 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: UH you know, college production, the strength of opponent, and 256 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: all the athletic testing scores, and then they give each 257 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: prospect a grade. UM, Travis E ten got a ninety nine, 258 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: which is the highest possible grade you can get. Other 259 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: people in recent years who received the ninety nine are 260 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry Say, Kwon Barkley, Naji Harris, so like he's 261 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: in really elite company there. And then you add in 262 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: the fact that one, I think the play calling is 263 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: naturally just going to be better in jackson Hill. Um, 264 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: the situation with talent around them is better than it 265 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: was last year as well. Plus he already has that 266 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: rapport with Trevor Lawrence playing in college, and then James 267 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: Robinson suffered that torn achilles so late in the year 268 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: that I even if he's ready to start the year, 269 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: which I don't expect, I think he will be far 270 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: from one. So I expect Travis E. T n to 271 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: be the lead back there and his a DP. He 272 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: is kind of what it was last year when it 273 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: is what it was last year when James Robinson was 274 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: a huge thorn in his side. So uh like a 275 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: mid to low end r B two, But I think 276 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: he's got a lot more upside than that. I think 277 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: he can potentially push to be a low end RB one. 278 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I want to believe it. I here's I 279 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: was very excited about them last year, and I thought 280 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: when Robinson was there and eat and was healthy at 281 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: the start of the year, I sort of thought that 282 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: Jacksonville could kind of replicate what the Browns did with 283 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. That was sort of my 284 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: hope for them, that both those guys could find a 285 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: way to be successful. Obviously, it's gonna be a while, 286 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: presumably before we see James Robinson, I mean Jake are 287 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: we do we still have an interest in him, obviously 288 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: at a much more depressed a d P. But is 289 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: there still reason to have any kind of interest in 290 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: James Robinson this year a little bit? And now I'm 291 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: gonna edit out the part of my column that comes 292 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: out tomorrow, the next breakout running Backs, where I said 293 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: this could be Brown's like because I don't want to 294 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: say and that part out and just kind of like 295 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: leave it out now. I referenced a lot with Doug 296 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: Peterson under Miles Sanders and that similar workload is if 297 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: you like everybody you you guys remember this, Remember when 298 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: he had Miles Sanders draft And I was like, oh, 299 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: it's not gonna matter because Doug Peterson only uses a committee, 300 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: he never uses as a primary running back. And then 301 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: Miles Sanders comes in and he uses as a prior 302 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: primary running back. So granted it's not three hundred touches 303 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: but around two dred fifty. And what E t n 304 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: s value and ability is. I think he's a much 305 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: much much better version of Tevin Coleman. One cut can 306 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: bounce off tackles. So to say all that, my concern 307 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: of James Connor is high. I think James Conner is 308 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: the backup, but they didn't draft Snoop Connor until the 309 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: fifth round. Who's an early down back. And I think 310 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: that more spells of like E t ns us is 311 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: going to be E t ns used with is a 312 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: lot in the passing game. I think the Connor is 313 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: kind of the backups insurance in case James Robinson isn't 314 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: ready to be the backup, somebody else is going to 315 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: be involved in Connor again to me, tells me more 316 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: of like this is Doug Peters since sharing some of 317 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: the workload, but he's going to get those heavier carries. 318 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: So maybe the only downside for et and not being 319 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: an RB one and being more like a top fifteen 320 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: like Florio was saying, is that his touchdown upside might 321 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: not be great on the ground. But I do think 322 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: two D twenty to two hundred fifty touches the E 323 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: t N would put him in that conversation interesting. Um, yeah, 324 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: it's funny too because James Robinson, you know, I feel 325 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: bad for the guy because he was easily Jacksonville's best 326 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: offensive player all year long, even though we had that 327 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: weirdness with the weirdness early in the season, where it 328 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: was like urban Meyer hadn't been introduced to him or something. 329 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: I don't we all remember that, and that was weird 330 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: and I don't understand it. But whatever, Uh, that part's gone. 331 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: So hopefully Doug Peter and the good and the good 332 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: thing is don't forget too. They brought in a suref 333 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: to replace Noral, which is a huge upgrade in the 334 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: run department block. So speaking of things being gone, and 335 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: then they drafted that I don't I don't know anything 336 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: about centers, but they drafted somebody with their third round. 337 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: So I'm assuming he's good. You would think so, right, 338 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: you would, You would hope so. So I mean, look 339 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: that the Jaguars needed upgrades at so many different places 340 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: across the board. Uh, you know, it's hard to imagine 341 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: this year can be worse than last year. So hopefully 342 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: everybody sort of benefits from that. UM In Washington, there's 343 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about that backfield there. Antonio Gibson, 344 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: at least on paper, still is the RB one. They 345 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: have Brian Robinson, who they expect to sort of work in. J. D. 346 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: Mckissic decided that he didn't want to pack up his 347 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: things and moved the Buffalo because I get it moving sucks. UM. 348 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: So he stays in Washington as well, So there's sort 349 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: of a three headed attack there. According to John Kim 350 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: was one of the beat writers there for the Commanders. 351 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: I had to pause and make myself say commanders because 352 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: I was just gonna call him the football team. Um 353 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: that he does expect that Gibson's still going to get 354 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: a pretty good number of touches in this offense, but 355 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: that his his usage could very week to week. Floria, 356 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: we have been trying to sort of make Antonio Gibson 357 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: and RB one, and he's kind of hung around on 358 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: the fringes. But if they're gonna use Robinson, if m 359 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: SI still gonna be in on third downs and and 360 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: catch the football, is his seeing anything more than maybe 361 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: a high end RB two. Uh, it depends on who 362 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: you ask. If you ask the Gibson stands on Twitter, 363 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: then all it takes is a J. D. Mckissic injury 364 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: and Antonio Gibson is is the second coming of Christian McCaffrey. 365 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: But I don't believe that. I mean what we've all said, like, 366 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: this guy's a former receiver, why don't they use him 367 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: more in the passing game. Washington clearly doesn't trust him 368 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: in that aspect because not only did did they bring 369 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: back j D mckissic, they they matched a pretty high 370 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: offer that the Bills had in place for him and 371 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: brought him back. So he is clearly going to be 372 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: uh the passing downs back there. And it's easy to say, oh, 373 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna use him on third downs, that's it. That's 374 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: not true. Like Marcus you you and if Patrick clay 375 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: Bonne was here, he would he would definitely be testing it. 376 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: I came into the office multiple times last year like, 377 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: oh my god, they went with Jade mckissic in the 378 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: two in the drill and left him in on the 379 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: goal line and he scored it, like and it's just 380 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: like frustrating when you have Antonio Gibson. That is going 381 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: to be the case again, I think. And then you 382 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: add in the fact now that they used the not 383 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: like like not a huge substantial pick, but it wasn't 384 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: like it was a seventh round pick either on Robinson 385 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: to kind of bring him in and they're talking him 386 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: out potentially is getting him some carries on the ground game. 387 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson, it's someone that I still think has like 388 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: high r B two upside, but I think more often 389 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: than not, he's like a mid to low end RB 390 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: two And he's someone that I just haven't really been 391 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: excited to draft. In fact, i've been I've been fading 392 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: him to be honest. I mean, Jake, can you explain 393 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: to me why a guy who was a college wide 394 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: receiver isn't more involved in the passing game in Washington. 395 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: So I think there's a couple of factors going on here. 396 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: And when if you guys know this and fancy you 397 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: say all the time, just because we want something doesn't 398 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: mean it can happen. Like we sit here and say, like, oh, 399 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: if the coach only did this, Guess what, we're not 400 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: NFL coaches. I always go back to Lamar Miller, and 401 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: we pounded the table. Give um more touches, give them 402 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: more touches. He gets more touches, and he's the same 403 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: Lamar Miller, less efficient. And it's like, sometimes, guess what. 404 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: These NFL coaches no more than we do. So they're 405 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: out there coaching NFL teams except for Urban Meyer, but 406 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 1: they know more than we do. And what I'll say 407 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: is like why is because it's the kind of a 408 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: little bit of the usage of Gibson versus the offense 409 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: that you had in Memphis versus what Washington's running. And 410 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: if you look at the routes kind of he was 411 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: running in the passing game there versus how they use 412 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: them in limited fashion here. It's just different. It's a 413 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: different offensive system, and maybe he's showing some flaws at 414 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: the NFL leather level where it was just if it's 415 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: not designed specifically for you. Maybe he just doesn't have 416 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: the mental acumen. Like I'm not. I'm not an NFL player. 417 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't even close. I wasn't even close to playing 418 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: in college. But I can't look over my right shoulder 419 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: as well as I can look over my left, and 420 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm just drawing a comparison for sports things. 421 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: Is maybe Antonio Gibson has something they've seen where they're 422 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: just like, we don't like this, Or maybe he has 423 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: a glaring tell like a baseball pitcher that when he 424 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: goes for passing routes, whatever it might be. So that's 425 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: why I bring up Lamar Miller, and that's why I 426 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: say Antonio Gibson is Antonio Gibson. This is who he is. 427 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: He has a nice ceiling as a high in RBY 428 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: two he actually finished because of games played as an 429 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: RB one last year, but this is who he is. 430 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: They want Mkissic involved, and as Florio said, completely agree. 431 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: Brian Robinson is bumping. Jared Patterson's the backup. He's a 432 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: nice three down player, and this is more of if 433 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: Gibson gets hurt again, Brian Robinson steps in. But I 434 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: think it's still Gibson mckissic, just he's not going to 435 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: be the passing game option when mkissics. There Uh, two things. One, 436 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: I was very much in the like, give Lamar Miller 437 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: more touches camp only to you know, have egg on 438 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: my face when right, I'm like, just free Lamar Miller. 439 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: And then he gets freed and we're like, oh, you're 440 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: you're still that's why you didn't write. Okay, all right, 441 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: I'll take the l on that one. But the other 442 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: thing is when you talked about not being able to 443 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: look over your one shoulder better than the other, Floria 444 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 1: and I both started testing our own our own ability 445 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: to look over see. I think I'm better on my 446 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: left actually, So this is why I played safety, because 447 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,479 Speaker 1: then you could just look straightforward and keep everything in 448 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: front of here. It's like, I never really thought about 449 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: this before, but now I'm gonna like totally test this 450 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: throughout my day. Um, in New England, things are changing, 451 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: man Like, obviously Tom Brady has gone. The Patriots are 452 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: no longer the bully in the a f C East 453 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: that they had been for literally a generation. I mean 454 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: there's literally there are there are people in the New 455 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: England area that are now of legal drinking age that 456 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: don't know what it's like for the Patriots to be 457 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: Actually now they're getting bullied. Now they're gonna get bullied, 458 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: right there is There is reportedly a high level of 459 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: concern about the Patriots offensive coaching staff. There's apparently just disorganization. 460 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: It's to the point where there's at least talk maybe 461 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, but there's at least talk that Bill 462 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: Belichick may take over the play calling. Of course, Josh 463 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: McDaniels is that head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, 464 00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: acting him to show up in the a f C 465 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: West when that division gets absolutely loaded all at one time. 466 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: But um, there's apparently a scramble what's going on offensively 467 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: with the Patriots. Uh, Jake, I have seen stories of 468 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: Mac Jones being hashtag b s oh L best shape 469 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: of his life. Um, you know, yeah, I believe that 470 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: maybe Remindra Stevenson was ready for a big step forward. 471 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: But I mean, really, when we look at this offense, 472 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: how many guys are you looking at that you consider 473 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: to be really truly fantasy relevant this year? One? Everybody 474 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: else I'm leaving for and it's not even the running 475 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: back you mentioned. I'm not. Actually yes, if you looked 476 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: at last year, you know, I think people are kind 477 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: of and I'm not saying you are. I think people 478 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: are kind of like glorifying what Stevenson did last year 479 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: because he did look really good, and it's like, okay, 480 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: maybe he can do what Harris did and even then 481 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: some but you look at his two biggest games. It 482 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: took more touches for Stevenson than it did for Harris, 483 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: and Harris slightly better pass catcher, not a lot, because 484 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: this is still going to be the James White or 485 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: eventually pure strong role. I just think Harris is the 486 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: guy now, being the guy for the Patriots probably still 487 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: caps you at sixteen, seventeen, eighteen touches in any given week. 488 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: So I'll be Harris only because he's discounted right now 489 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: because people are vaulting Stevenson up and they're going very close. 490 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: If that gap starts to widen and it is Harris 491 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: significantly in front of Stevenson, then I'll do what we 492 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: should always do when you're drafting Patriots running back, Chake 493 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 1: the cheaper one, and that's where I'll be with you 494 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: on Stevenson, or potentially even just do what we did 495 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: a few years ago. Take James White and it's two 496 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: healthy games, what was it, six targets or six sketches 497 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: or whatever, like two really nice games for him, Mac 498 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: Jones at quarterback to wide receivers. I mean, we had 499 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: one year Davante Parker, and we've been living off that 500 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: one year for one like our entire lifetime. Myers fits 501 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: well born, you know, sure. I think it's everybody's being like, well, 502 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: who else are they gonna throw too? Well, there's Aguilar 503 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: and they drafted Thornton and like there's just a mess there. 504 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: But Hunter Henry, If John who was hurt again, I'd 505 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: be intrigued with. But as of right now, it's just 506 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: I will too. It's Harrison White as of right now 507 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like to I mean, Floria, you agree that 508 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: anybody else that maybe you would, you would throw a 509 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: dart at at this point. No. And I'm happy Jake 510 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: brought up James White because I'm doing a good amount 511 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: of Best Ball drafts right now and he is just 512 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: like an absolute afterthought in a lot of drafts. And 513 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, if you're gonna give me the 514 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna get like Jake said, you know, the 515 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: five six targets a game, because that's what James White is. 516 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: And we know the Patriots are gonna pull off all 517 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: the other running backs to get him on the field 518 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: and passing down situations. The other thing about the Patriots is, 519 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: I understand Mac Jones played the best of all the 520 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: rookies last year, but he he doesn't run. His upside 521 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: is so hot low that I still have him ranked 522 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: fifth of all of last year's rookie quarterbacks, like I 523 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: have Lance Fields, Lawrence, and Wilson all comfortably ahead of 524 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. I mean you know this, Floria, I always 525 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: talk about talent versus opportunity, and Mac Jones walked into 526 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: the best opportunity at least right. I mean, he had 527 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: at least a decent infrastructure around him. He had a 528 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: great head coach, he had an offensive coordinator that could 529 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: put him in situations to win. Uh. I mean, let's 530 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: go back to the fact that I mean you might 531 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: want to wear some ear muffs for this from Florida. 532 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: They beat the Bills with Mac Jones throwing the ball 533 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: three times, right, That that to me says a lot 534 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: about kind of who Matt Jones is. Like, he's he's 535 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: he's fine, right, He's not going to sink the ship. 536 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: But he's also to use Buckey Brooks's analogy of trucks 537 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: versus trailers, right, I think I think Mac Jones right 538 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: now is probably more trailers than he is truck. Like. 539 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: He's not necessarily pulling this team to victory, and he's 540 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: not gonna pull your fantasy team to any sort of victory. 541 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: That's why I say that. You know, Davis Mills sneakily, 542 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to say he was the best 543 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, but he's knocking on the door right Like 544 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: Davis Mills, I felt like did more to help his 545 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: team specifically than Matt Jones did. I'm probably gonna get 546 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: some angry Patriots fans, and I mentioned that's what the 547 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: mute and miss four. Um. But yeah, I mean, I 548 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: just I don't know. There's nothing about this offense that 549 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: excites me. Um. And also I think goes to show 550 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: how much Tom Brady sort of elevated a lot of 551 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: the past catchers in that offense for so many years. Uh. 552 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: And I don't think Mike Jones is that guy, at 553 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: least at least not right now. Um. In Seattle, Shot 554 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: Penny is reportedly nursing a hamstring issue. They're sort of 555 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: keeping him out of O t a s at the moment, 556 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: letting him rest a little bit. And as soon as 557 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: I saw I saw the tweet and I clicked on it, 558 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: and so many of the replies were some form of 559 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: here we go again, because this has been the story 560 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: of over shot Penny's career. He obviously had that amazing 561 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: finish to last season. There's every expectation that he's going 562 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: to walk into this year as the RB one in 563 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: Seattle with Chris Carson still dealing with that neck issue 564 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: and hopefully everything's fine, but there's certainly a chance that 565 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: that we don't see Chris Carson played football ever. Again, 566 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: I know Callie has something she would like to say 567 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: about this, but we'll kind of hold off on that 568 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: for the moment. But Floria, where are you comfortable taking 569 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: Rashade Penny knowing not only this issue but sort of 570 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: what his history has been. So this feels really dirty 571 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: to say, but I Rashad Penny might in my best 572 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: ball drafts, might be my most drafted RB three right now. 573 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: Like he's going outside the top thirty running backs, and 574 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: some of them he's going closer to forty. Ken Walker 575 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: has really suppressed the adp and Walkers going ahead of Penny. 576 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: And I know Jake and is going to disagree with 577 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: me on this, but I've actually been in the camp 578 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: of Penny over Walker just because of what we saw 579 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: from Penny. Like talent has never been the issue with Penny. 580 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: It's always health. And this maybe this is the is 581 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: the warning sign I need to kind of change my 582 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: stance here. But what we saw the last six weeks 583 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: from Rashade Penny, I think was real. I think that 584 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: um he was running with more power than we had 585 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: ever seen before. I mean, I mean every single metric 586 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: from that the final six weeks he led all running 587 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: backs and like you pick one, he led them in 588 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: it and probably buy a good margin. So I've kind 589 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: of been hanging my hat on that. I think both 590 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: of those running backs are talented. Um, but I think 591 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: with Penny being in a one year deal, they were 592 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: going to kind of let him get get the start 593 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: and potentially just kind of run him into the ground. Um. 594 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: But maybe I need to change my stance if if 595 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: we're already seeing Penny hurt, maybe uh, maybe this is 596 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: what I got to think through a little bit more. 597 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: All right, Jake, Kenneth Walker the third go, you know, 598 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: this is why why you gotta bring over Shot. This 599 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: is like you're gonna make me talk negatively about with 600 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: Shot Penny is the most painful thing I've ever had 601 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: to do in my life. I have been waiting for Penny, 602 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: and I was so excited for Penny last year that 603 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: that all being said, let's even say he's healthy. Let's 604 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: just throw that out the window. Let's say he's healthy, 605 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: because this is the argument I want to make, they 606 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,959 Speaker 1: drafted Kenneth Walker where they drafted Keneth Walker is not 607 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: to be the backup to a Shot Penny. Does it 608 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: mean he's going to get standing percent of the touch 609 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: is probably not either because if they're like me, and 610 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: I might be wrong on this, but my evaluation of 611 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: Kenth Walker and coming out college is the passing game 612 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: is majorly an issue. You saw him, You talk about 613 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: turning over the wrong shoulder. This dude's turning around dropping 614 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: passes and stuff like that, and that you know could 615 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: get better. But I saw the drafting of Walker knowing 616 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: the history of Penny and saying, we're going to create 617 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: our Denver Broncos. We're gonna, you know, hey, bring over 618 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: Drew Lock. That's not why they were doing it, but 619 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: that being the side is like, this could be a 620 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: fifty fifty split. We have two great talents. And that 621 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: is my saying. I don't think Chris Carson is around anymore, 622 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: unfortunately saying given his injuries, but I think this will 623 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: be a very much fifty fifty split if Penny is healthy, 624 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: with Walker being the running guy, with Penny being the 625 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: passing guy, and then some crossover between them. The issue 626 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: with that is, again, this is Drew Locks, Seattle Seahawks 627 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: and not anymore Russell Wilson's. So I go back and 628 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: look at Drew Lock and what he did to that 629 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: offense and what he did to the running backs for 630 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: most games and not even throwing two running backs, and 631 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: that is a death knell for this backfield being a 632 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: split backfield. If it was one guy getting sent of 633 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: the touches, I'd be in on them. But being that way, 634 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the guy who's carrying the ball 635 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: and not the pass catchery line on Drew Lock. And 636 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: that's why I go Kenneth Walker. I mean he mentioned 637 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: Drew Lock Floria. I mean with Russell Wilson, you had 638 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: to you had to back up, right. I mean, he's 639 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: this is the guy who through arguably the best deep 640 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: ball in the NFL. He was spreading the ball around 641 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: to two DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. You couldn't load 642 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: the box consistently against the Seahawks. I feel like with 643 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: Drew Lock that that might be an issue for these guys. Yeah, 644 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: I it might be, but it also might like the 645 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: Seahawks already ran run the ball towards the top of 646 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: the league more than anyone, And I mean we could 647 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: see a situation where they're both getting fifteen carry like this, 648 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: I think very much could be like Denver was last year, 649 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: where the offense is running through the running back position, 650 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: which is gonna be gross for the receivers. Like I 651 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: agree with Jake, I don't love either of these two 652 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: running backs enough to take them as anything more than 653 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: an RB three. Um. I think there's some upside there 654 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: though for the running backs, I'm much more concerned with 655 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: these receivers, especially DK Metcalf, because uh, Tyler Lockett in 656 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: early drafts is starting to fall further and further and 657 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: he's going closer to, like you know, as a borderline 658 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver three, whereas DK Metcalf is still going top 659 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: fifteen wide receiver off the board. I understand that how 660 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: he looks and what we've seen him do before, but man, 661 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: you are asking a lot out of I think it's 662 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: gonna be Gino Smith, but out of Smith or Drew 663 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: lock we're actually hoping for. Right I even mentioned that 664 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: part that, yeah, there's there's talk that Gino Smith right 665 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: now is running ahead of Drew Lock in practices and 666 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: and you know, he very well could be the starting 667 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,239 Speaker 1: quarterback in Week one. By the way, looking back at 668 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: last year, when you look at the top ten running 669 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: backs who faced the more the most loaded boxes. Alex 670 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: Collins was ninth, Rashod Penny was tent um. That was 671 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: that was with Russell Wilson. I don't know. Maybe that 672 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: number goes up with Drew Lock. I don't I don't know, Uh, 673 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: maybe it goes up in Geno Smith to that percentage 674 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: or total, because percentage we're saying it was total. Drew 675 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: Lock is gonna they're not gonna get past their down 676 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: enough that that's percepionly. Yeah, let me clarify that is 677 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: percentage wise both of them. Just a shade under is 678 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: Drew Lock is the one doing the quarterback competition with 679 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: the five being the really far one, and he doesn't 680 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: take any It just keeps throwing at the five one 681 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: every single time it hits one out of twenty and 682 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: then finishes his last place. I mean, this offense is 683 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: clearly gonna be like run, run, and hope the quarterback 684 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,479 Speaker 1: could pick up third down right Like I mean, it's 685 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: funny too, because you know, Russell Wilson was great at 686 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: throwing the deep ball. Drew Lock likes to throw the 687 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: deep ball. He just doesn't seem to be good at it. 688 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: Like face it happy you're not any good like, so 689 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: I will say the only thing, uh, and this is 690 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: purely dynasty reasons, is like the discount you're getting more 691 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: so Unlock then Metcalfe because Locket's also because of the age. 692 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: Is I am buying a little bit just in case 693 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: they do say, you know what, we need to make 694 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: this Baker trade, Like just because I think we're all 695 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: still whether or not that Watson's suspension happens, it's gonna 696 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: buper set. There's no way they're rolling out Baker, right. 697 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: I couldn't see it. No, I mean, the way that 698 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: that relationship has gone bad. You can't in good faith 699 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: be the Browns around and say, hey, so start six games, Hey, Bake, Bake, 700 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: you want to come back and start a few games 701 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: for us? Like, there's just no way. There's no way 702 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,479 Speaker 1: on it that's gonna happen. By the way, Flora, if 703 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: it makes you feel any better, I think we're shot 704 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: Penny in Bestball. Is great because you're not you're not 705 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: necessarily counting on him week to week. But when he 706 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: shows up and he does, we shot Penny things, and 707 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: you know you're already set up to go. So this 708 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: is off topic, but what's gonna happen to Baker Mayfield 709 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: living in in Progressive Field. Uh, well, I'm sure. I 710 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: don't know if he has a lease or if he's 711 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,479 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's rinsing. They that commercial, it's 712 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: the one where he got locked out that everything. You know, 713 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: he's got to leave the we didn't even know. You know, 714 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 1: you know, they've got to change the security code for 715 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: whoever he's just doing. Where he's just going to, like 716 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: stadium to stadium, just like you guys, help hey, looking 717 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 1: for any vacancies, you guys, I can mow the lawn 718 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah. Actually, actually, you know what, as 719 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: corny as those are, I think that'd be a really 720 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: good commercial. Hire us, Progressive whoever, whoever that is, whatever 721 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: company that is, hire us and we'll write promercions there. 722 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: It is all right. I'm just kick the door open 723 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: for him, exactly. I say, a quick break, we'll come back, 724 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: we'll do some hype trainer smoke screen, we'll talk about 725 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: some other nonsense that may or may not be fantasy related. 726 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see. Stick around for more of 727 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Hanging out with Jake Ceeley 728 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: here on the show, and uh, that's a little bit 729 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: of hype train or smoke screen. I got three little scenarios. 730 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: We can kick him around a side if it's for 731 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: real or if somebody's just blowing smoke. So we'll start 732 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Marquis Brown no longer there. He now collects 733 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: his male in Arizona. So that opens things up in 734 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: the wide receiver kept. Sammy Watkins also gone. He using 735 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: Green Bay. So in theory, Rashad Bateman is next man up. 736 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: He says he is ready to take over. He says 737 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: this is his time to step up and shine. I 738 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: know he was a fantasy darling uh last year, even 739 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: though he was just you know, sort of okay statistically, 740 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: So Floria, I will start with you, hype train or 741 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: smoke screen. Rashad Bateman is ready to be the Ravens 742 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: wide receiver one. I won't say a fantasy wide receiver one, 743 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 1: but at least the Ravens wide receiver one. To be 744 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: the Ravens wide receiver one. Hype train to be their 745 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: top target smoke screen like, I think he will clearly 746 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: be their number one wide receiver. There. There's not a 747 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: whole lot of competition there behind him for that, and 748 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: I think he is ready for that role. Like uh, 749 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: he's more of a traditional X than the Marquise Brown is. 750 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: Marquis Brown is more or like that stretched the field 751 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: type of receiver, whereas I think Bateman he's gonna be 752 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: a receiver like Lamar Jackson has really never had before. 753 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: I know he had a bit of him last year, 754 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: but he can make contested catches. I think he'll be 755 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: great in the red zone and in the end zone. 756 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: But when all is said and done, I still think 757 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: this is Mark Andrews offense, and he will lead this 758 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: team in targets and the the tight end one again, 759 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: I think I agree or disagree Jake, I agree, but 760 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be extra super close. I think 761 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: that you can see Bateman walking into Marcus Brown's targets, 762 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: and I think it's better for Bateman than it was 763 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: from Marcus Brown because Marcus Brown was very hir miss 764 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: uh two things stylistically, and Lamar jackson strengths is like 765 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't have bad deep ball. But if you want 766 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 1: to open things up for this offense and go back 767 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: to what they've already talked about is pulling back off 768 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: the passing game a little bit, but getting back to 769 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, that was that m VP level type of play. 770 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: You have somebody who gets off the line of scrimmage fast, 771 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: gets open really quick. Everything Florio just said about him, 772 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: I think he fits better for what they need to do. 773 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm kind of off the Duvernet and 774 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: everything like that. Who I think fills in for the 775 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: Marquis Brown role, But that's he fills that role. That 776 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: should be the third option, not the second. So I 777 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: think Mark Andrews and Bateman are going to be the 778 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 1: top leaders, but I think it's gonna be very close. 779 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: And that's why I would say Bateman is in the 780 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: wide receiver to conversation for fantasy purposes, Yeah, I think 781 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. I would make it a clean 782 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: sweep on I think hype Train as him as the 783 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: wide receiver one in Baltimore. UM is just looking at 784 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: the rest of that wide receiver crew. There's not much 785 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: to get excited about. I will say. You know, there's 786 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: talk that now Lamar's is working with somebody to kind 787 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 1: of clean up clean up some of his mechanics, which 788 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: could be interesting. Uh, you know, we'll see how much 789 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: that changes it. And I don't know, are we Are 790 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: we going to hear the yearly refrain from the Ravens 791 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: and we're gonna throw the football more because I feel 792 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,359 Speaker 1: like they say that every year and every year it's 793 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: like you're not going to run the football. So I 794 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a little bit less than it 795 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: was last year. I think gonna be back to two 796 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: years ago. So I mean, but they j k Dobbins 797 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: back this year. Um through too, really barely through it too. 798 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: I mean, but I think I think you're right. I mean, 799 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: I think there's they are, um yeah, just intend their 800 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: DNA to just run the football. So I think that's 801 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: that's probably what they're gonna do. Um. Alan Robinson is 802 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and last week Floria and I were 803 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: talking about a dp S and it just feels like 804 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,760 Speaker 1: his is insanely low at the moment. Maybe it's starting 805 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 1: to climb a little bit, but it was really shockingly low. Um. 806 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: He says, being with Sean McVeigh, being with Matthew Stafford, 807 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: being in this RAMS offense means they're going to bring 808 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: the best out of him. There's talk that maybe he 809 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: will have his most productive statistical season ever, which is 810 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: saying quite a bit for a guy who who really 811 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,359 Speaker 1: put up some decent numbers, especially during his time in Jacksonville. 812 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: So Jake, I'll start with you. Allen Robinson will have 813 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: his greatest season ever. Hype trainer, smoke screen. If I 814 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: was on the set with you guys in the NFL network, 815 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: I would have walked off the set and did my 816 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: best Vince McMahon impression as I walked on, because no 817 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: chance in hell. Because he's happy fourteen hundred and fourteen touchdowns, 818 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: he is not eclipsing that back with the Jaguars in 819 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: the second now best season since Sure, that's in the 820 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: realm of possibilities, because you're talking about even t undred yards, 821 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: six seven, eight touchdowns, that can be a clipse. But 822 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: fourteen and fourteen with Cooper Cup not happening. If you 823 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: told me twelve and ten, definitely think it's a possibility, 824 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: especially because Odell Beckham's not back and well as of 825 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: today still and that Van Jefferson. Actually, by the way, 826 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: I think it's underrated in the drafts in case anything 827 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: ever happened to either one of them. And anyway, I 828 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: am I'm a full on Van Stands, So there you go. 829 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: But yes, Allen Rominson, no chance in hell best season ever, 830 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 1: but second best season. I would put money on that. Alright, 831 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: Floral to you, same to you, Jake, Jake Stile the 832 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: words out of my mouth I was gonna say. I 833 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: don't think he goes for fourteen hundred touchdowns like like 834 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 1: he did with with the Jaguars, but I could certainly 835 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,879 Speaker 1: see being his best year since then. I mean, he's 836 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: never had eight touchdowns again since that season, which is 837 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: crazy for a player of his capability and his size. 838 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 1: And Uh, the Rams are a team that we know 839 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna throw the ball a good amount. We know, 840 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: especially in the red zone in the end zone. Matt 841 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 1: Stafford went there and his touchdown rate went through the roofs. 842 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: So I'm getting really excited. I mean you know that, 843 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: I am really excited for Allen Robinson. I've always been 844 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: a big fan of his ability. Uh. Last year, the 845 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: Rams second wide receiver average seven and a half targets 846 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: per game. Uh that's factoring in that it was a 847 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,280 Speaker 1: revolving door of Robert Woods, Van Jefferson and Odell Beckham Jr. 848 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: I think Alan Robinson will get eight or more targets 849 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: per game. Uh, and there's gonna be some natural regression 850 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: for Cooper Cup. But I just think those two together 851 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,399 Speaker 1: are one of the best one two combinations in the league. 852 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: And they're on an offense that is capable of supporting 853 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: two high end receivers because not many are. You have 854 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: to be pretty much a top ten scoring offense to 855 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: do so. I mean to jump in real quick the regression. Think. 856 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you said that for you and I 857 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,359 Speaker 1: have the stat because I tweeted out the the state. 858 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: So if you take twenty per cent of Cooper Cups 859 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: production last year and knock it off, he still finishes 860 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: one point behind Deebo Samuel for the number two wide receivers. 861 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: If you hold on, here's the moment more crazy one. 862 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 1: If you take off forty percent, he's wide receiver nine. 863 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: So he's still a top ten guy less production. That's insane. UM. 864 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm looking right now at Fantasy Football Calculator and their 865 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 1: most late their latest updated a DP s Allen Robinson 866 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,959 Speaker 1: is still the middle of the seventh round. He's he's 867 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: one spot behind James Robinson, who we're not sure when 868 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: he's going to play. He's a full round behind Odell 869 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. So I'm not sure who's drinking right now. 870 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: And I know in Bestball drafts he's still going as 871 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: like a wide receiver. It started off he was a 872 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: wide receiver four now, then it was three. He's still 873 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: kind of going as that. I took him the other 874 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 1: day in the early fifth round. I was like, you 875 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: know what, I think, I know your answer. I was 876 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: gonna see if we could get like a consensus on 877 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 1: this one too, Allen Robinson over Darnald Mooney Robinson. Yeah, absolutely, 878 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: we go close right now in drafts as you're mentioning, yeah, 879 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: I don't. I mean Allen Robinson or Chase Claypool Robinson. 880 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 1: Clay Claypool announced the better wide receiver draft. Nick. Unfortunately, 881 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: that's awkward, right, Like you come out and announced the dude, 882 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean Darius Slayton did it the year before with 883 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: Darius Tony. So yeah, stop having wide receivers and wide 884 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 1: receiver draft. You're buying an NFL wide receiver, Like, hey, 885 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: we want you to announced his draft pick. I'm like, nah, 886 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: you don't have to find some If I was the Steelers, 887 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: that'd be like Claypool, what why don't we get you 888 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 1: out there next round? That's the round for you? Oh man, Yeah, 889 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: that's super super awkward. All right, last one here here Florio. 890 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: Both Baker Mayfield and Jimmy Garoppolo will have new teams 891 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: by week one. Hype trainer, smoke screen. I'm saying, this 892 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: is hype train. I I know right now we're in May, 893 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: at the end of May, and it's like, oh, we 894 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: these guys where no one, no one saying they want them. 895 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: Where are they gonna end up? But we were saying 896 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: earlier the Browns just can't go in with Baker Mayfield. 897 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: And I think they know that. And I think the 898 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: closer and closer we get to the season, the more 899 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: money they'll be willing to eat, especially once we get 900 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 1: a ruling with the Shawn Watson and stuff. I think 901 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: that'll also just kind of push the need to get 902 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: to get Baker off of the Browns. As for Jimmy 903 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: g I understand that it's been hard to move him. 904 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: I think the Niners are gonna have to eat some money. 905 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: But where The longer he's there, the more rumors were 906 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: hearing like could there be a competition or something. To me, 907 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: it's like, no, you traded up to take Trey Lance 908 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: third overall knowing that he sat out pretty much all 909 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: because of COVID. Then you had him sit pretty much 910 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 1: all of last year. You can't have this guy sit 911 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: three years in a row. It'll just ruin his development. 912 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: So I think for sure Jimmy G will be on 913 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: a new team. It might take an injury, it might 914 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,919 Speaker 1: take them eating a bunch of money, but I would 915 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,800 Speaker 1: be surprised that these guys are still on their teams 916 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: come week one. All right, Jake, they are? They both are? 917 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 1: They both in new places week one? Yeah, that's what. 918 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,399 Speaker 1: That's why I'm gonna say smokescreen because I don't think 919 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: Jimmy G does unless an injury. Well, it has to 920 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: be an injury to contender. I just don't like Houston 921 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: is not going to trade for him. They'll just roll 922 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,439 Speaker 1: out with Davis Mills or look at the draft next year. 923 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: So you look at the teams that could trade for 924 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 1: Jamie G. Contract wise, As you said, for you probably 925 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: have to eat a lot if something happens. Uh, there's 926 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: just so many factors with Jimmy Garoppolo and leaving out 927 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: the biggest one of all is what if Tray Lance 928 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 1: just isn't ready. Like Tray Lance last year when it 929 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: came out of college kept saying, I know a lot 930 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: of people did very much like Josh Allen and very 931 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 1: much and that like, that's the same deficiencies in the 932 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,839 Speaker 1: passing game, the accuracy issues and stuff like that. And 933 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 1: we saw the brief sample that he looked rough in 934 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,919 Speaker 1: the past, very rough in the passing game. We don't 935 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,319 Speaker 1: know that he's necessit necess necessarily if I could say 936 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 1: that correctly, necessarily been getting better, because we don't have 937 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 1: anything to watch so far. So the forty Niners are contender. 938 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: If they don't believe Lance is ready, they might just say, 939 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: if Garoppolo is healthy, we'll just roll him out one 940 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: more year. Not every quarterback has to start their second 941 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 1: season if they're not ready. That's true, I will say 942 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: that I think it's a smoke screen because I think 943 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 1: Garoppolo is kind of the sticking point here. I think 944 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 1: Baker gets down. Um, if you are the forty Niners, 945 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,800 Speaker 1: you are praying that the Browns trade him to Seattle 946 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 1: because the Niners aren't going to trade Garoppolo in division. 947 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: They're just They're just not. So if if Baker somehow 948 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 1: into in Carolina, then the forty niners are really going 949 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 1: to be stuck there. Weirdly, it seems like the Panthers 950 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: are trying to talk themselves into Sam Donald for another year, right, Like, 951 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't like they keep talking about Donald and Donald 952 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: saying I think I can be a great quarterback in 953 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: this league, and the Panthers keep showing support, and I'm like, 954 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: you've kind of convinced yourselves or us, like who are you? 955 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: Who are you talking to? Because I think we've all 956 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: sort of made up our minds on Sam Donald. Um. 957 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 1: But like you guys both said, whoever trades for either 958 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks, uh, they're they're current teams are gonna 959 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: have to eat quite a bit of that. Sound alry. 960 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,879 Speaker 1: I think I think we see Baker traded relatively soon. 961 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: Jimmy is the Jimmy is the tough one could happen 962 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 1: by week one. It could be you know, week three 963 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 1: or four, if something happens to another team in the 964 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: league and they they're looking for a quarterback at some point. So, uh, 965 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't say I don't think either of these guys 966 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 1: finishes the season with their current teams. I think that 967 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 1: would be a surprise to me, but your your text 968 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: chain will not be happy. No. No, we've given up 969 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: on the countdown. We've given up on the daily count 970 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: of how many days it's been since Jimmy Garoppolo through 971 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: a soul crushing interception in the NFC Championship Game. Um, 972 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 1: but I can guarantee you that if he were the 973 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 1: starting quarterback in Week one, I will get a lot 974 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 1: of angry text messages from friends. At least he took 975 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: the chance, right, Hey, you know, look, he took a 976 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 1: shot for whatever it's worth it. And now he's got 977 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 1: subway commercials, So good for him. He's got wet he 978 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: has subway commercials, and he has a snow leopard named 979 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: for him at the San Francisco Zoo. I don't know 980 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: what call out the subway commercial real quick, sure, because 981 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: it's they're promoting a new sandwich. And he's like, it's 982 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: just like my grandma's made my whole life. And she's like, 983 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: I don't cook. I come to subway and I'm like, 984 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 1: how is this a new sandwich? If your whole his 985 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 1: whole life, I've never thought of any factor you're going 986 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: with the commercial subway commercial. I've also never picked up 987 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 1: attention to that commercial to actually get that. Now I'm 988 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: totally gonna watch that the next time I see that. 989 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 1: Comma man um all right before we literally, Jake, I 990 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,439 Speaker 1: can't ever have you on my show without us having 991 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: some conversation about what it is that we are streaming 992 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 1: or watching or what have you uh nowadays with me 993 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: because like you know, I'm married and I have a kid. 994 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 1: I don't get as much time to watch stuff, so 995 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 1: I have to pick and choose. But this is why 996 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 1: I come to you to see what you're watching, so 997 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: I can make a list and kind of put them, 998 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 1: uh in priority orders. So what anything that has really 999 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: tickled your fancy lately? Yeah, that's the Rescue Rangers with 1000 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: dark Wing at the end. I watched that with the 1001 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: girlfriend of all. Yes, Jake's really actually has one now 1002 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: my girlfriend at this point, and I just finished Moon 1003 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 1: Night math Night. I'll just leave it at that. That's 1004 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: my take, Yeah, se Ma man night. So so, so 1005 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: here's the thing I and I don't know if I 1006 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 1: said this on the show. The reason I was kind 1007 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: of men on it at first because I went in 1008 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about the character, like at all. 1009 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 1: So before the show aired, I started reading some of 1010 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: the comics just so I could get some sort of 1011 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 1: baseline knowledge. And there were some major changes. There were 1012 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 1: a couple of things that were really big that they changed, 1013 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,359 Speaker 1: and so it took me a few episodes to sort 1014 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 1: of wrap my head around it. Once I did, I'm like, 1015 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 1: all right, it's it's okay, um, but yeah, it's just 1016 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 1: that sort of took me out of the show. And 1017 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 1: maybe that was just me, but you saying that, like 1018 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 1: I don't know how much Moon Night you have read, 1019 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 1: but you're saying that's what It makes me feel better 1020 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 1: about how I felt. I mean, I knew the background 1021 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: at Moonnight, and I also just even having not known 1022 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: the background, would still have had the same takeaway from 1023 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: the show is like I get that he blacks out, 1024 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 1: but at the same time, you cut out almost every 1025 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,399 Speaker 1: fight scene by using the black like we didn't get 1026 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 1: to see anything. Is that we get the c g 1027 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 1: I battle spoiler alert at the end before whatever. But anyway, 1028 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: so that's time. I'm trying to make it through Halo 1029 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: for some reason, as much as I love the video games, 1030 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: like just it's it's not like, oh, I gotta go 1031 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: back and watch this episode, so I'm like still have 1032 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,239 Speaker 1: I think the season is over, But I'm not that 1033 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 1: concerned anyway, because you mentioned it's it's upcoming. Uh. The 1034 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 1: girlfriend and I are going through Stranger Things season three 1035 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,879 Speaker 1: to finish that with Stranger season four coming, obi Wan 1036 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,319 Speaker 1: is coming. Uh. There are movies coming as well. So 1037 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: it's obi Wan and Stranger Things season four mainly, and 1038 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 1: as Fouria mentioned, Better Call Saul, which thankfully has a 1039 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: little bit of a break until July so I can 1040 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 1: kind of watch these other ones and catch up. But 1041 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,919 Speaker 1: those have been the ones on the docket right now. 1042 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: It's it's been more getting back to the movies and 1043 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: going to like those recliners in the A m C. 1044 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: And all that type of stuff. So I gotta ask 1045 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 1: you that because you had at the start of the show, 1046 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,480 Speaker 1: you had a take about severance that you were posted, 1047 00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, that's I was gonna say, 1048 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: as good as it I be, where am I going 1049 00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,799 Speaker 1: to fit it in? Because say that, I was gonna say, like, 1050 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 1: is it worth trying to cram in with Stranger Things 1051 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 1: season four and Obi Wan coming out? Or should I 1052 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 1: just wait for those to be over and then come 1053 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 1: back around to it? Is like, how much is going on? Oh, 1054 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: I think you can come at this point. You can 1055 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,319 Speaker 1: come back around because the season is over and I'm 1056 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 1: sure it'll be a while before season two comes out, 1057 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 1: so there's no there's no pressing need to get to 1058 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 1: it right now. But anything I think you'll has only 1059 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,359 Speaker 1: one season so far. I think it's what eight, eight 1060 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 1: or ten episodes. Um, it's entertaining, but with the season over, 1061 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: there's no rush at this point to get to it 1062 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,919 Speaker 1: for for for you, for Marcus and everybody else who's 1063 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,320 Speaker 1: an anime fan to in the one season is because 1064 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,359 Speaker 1: that's one reason I never watched Bleach, because it's like, oh, 1065 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 1: by the way, you're just getting in now, here's seven 1066 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,880 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty episodes to catch up on. Yeah, I like, 1067 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 1: I am a I'm a One Piece fanatic, but I've 1068 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: also been watching One Piece for like fifteen years. There's 1069 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 1: there's gonna be like there's literally like a thousand episodes 1070 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: of it. Like I see people talking about I'm starting 1071 00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: One Piece, and I'm like, god speed, you did, did 1072 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm wearing the right shirt to ask this question.

What they 1083 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,399 Speaker 1: do is they just drop it without telling anybody. They're 1084 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: just their ringdom times. I opened up my DVR and 1085 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 1: it's just there's a Ricken Morty there, and I'm like, 1086 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: where did this come from?
