Yeah, Because I'm trying to 14 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: figure out, like any time we have a hard, hard 15 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: number about like who's number one, one to five and 16 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: stuff like that, I'm trying to figure like, which fan 17 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: base do I really want to deal with? The Oh yeah, 18 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: that's so that's what it is. Which fan base is 19 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: Bucky gonna troll? And I mean the uh. But we'll 20 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: get into what we're gonna talk about here. We're gonna 21 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: talk about wide receivers. Today, we're talking about Hulo signed 22 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: with the Titans, something we talked about a bit last week. 23 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: But what does it mean going forward? And we're gonna 24 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: go division by division, We're gonna rank who we think 25 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: is the number one past catching duo in each division. 26 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: So you can throw tight ends in there as well. 27 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,639 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go out and lit and say, Okay, 28 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: the fan bases that you could get most riled up, 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: we will go with uh really uh, Buffalo Bills. That 30 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: might be number one for me. The Bills get fired 31 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: up about things. Bills Bills, my few get they get 32 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: did you know Ravens flock gets a little yeah, sensitive, 33 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: they get a little testy too. If you say some 34 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 1: things that are out of pocket, Raider Nation, any cowboys, cowboys, 35 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: cowboys both sides of it. Yeah, like cowboys, but man 36 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: Radar Rader Nation will will get upset. And the Browns 37 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: the dog pound the dog kind of come after you 38 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: if you say some sideways about one of their guys. Yeah, 39 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: I would say still of of every team. Um, I said, 40 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: you know what, Jags are sneaky too. The Jags have 41 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: a very very faithful following there. That's very passionate. Um, 42 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: But I would say if you're talking still love hate, right, 43 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: the most people love them. If you add up the 44 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: number of people that love a team and the number 45 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: of people that hate a team, I still would say 46 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: that Dallas Cowboys would be number one on that list. 47 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: I mean, when you annoyint yourself America's team, that makes it. Yeah, 48 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: I mean that's going back for forty years or whatever. 49 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: That makes it. It's just it's still there's people that 50 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: love to hate the Cowboys. Well, I mean when you 51 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: think about it like they I mean they haven't won 52 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and forever, yet every year is the 53 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: year they talked about Yeah, every years a year. So 54 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's fun. Um, I mean right off, 55 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: right off top this this wide receivery thing to Julio Jones. Think, 56 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: I think the outrage to me is being kind of 57 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: crazy because there's a lot of conversation and consternation about 58 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: the fact that the Falcons were only able to get 59 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: a second round pick, and I can't really understand why 60 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: people are surprised that that's all he bore in return. 61 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: M I mean, so I'm glad. I'm glad he said 62 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: that because I want to. I want to get your 63 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: thoughts on that. So our buddy Greg Rosenthal on around 64 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: the league, aroundly, around the NFL, were they were, they 65 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: were around the league at one point time where they 66 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: came or something like that. I thought, I think it 67 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: was back in the day. I can't remember. I never 68 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: listened to the show, but I do. I do like 69 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: the Fellows. They're good guys. But anyways, Greg had said 70 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: something on on Twitter about how he doesn't understand how 71 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: the value of draft picks UH changes from the draft 72 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: to the offseason. In other words, like he said, the 73 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: Jets traded when you look at it, they traded a 74 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: first round pick and two third round picks for a 75 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: guard and Elijah vera tucker. And he said, then you 76 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: have Julio Jones, one of the all time great receivers 77 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: who has proven in this league, and all he goes 78 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: for is a two or four and you got to 79 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: send a six with him in order it to to 80 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: make the deal work. He's like, that doesn't make sense. 81 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: And I just wrote back three things. I just said, 82 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: age cost position, Like that's it. You've got a thirty 83 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: two year old are at a position that's not necessarily 84 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: viewed as a premier position anymore. He's declining and he's 85 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: incredibly expensive versus a what twenty one, twenty two year 86 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: old player, who's an ascending player, who's cheap, who, to 87 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: be honest with you, I think if you pulled people 88 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: around the league, you'd rather have a great guard right now. 89 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: Maybe then even well, that's a debate the guard versus receiver. 90 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: It's offensive line versus a skill player. I think it's 91 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: easier to find the wide receiver than it would be 92 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: to find a perennial all pro guard. Oh absolutely, I 93 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: believe so. I believe that's where the things have switched. 94 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: I think in the past when we talk about guard, 95 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: we uhould be like, oh, we can throw anybody in there, 96 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: like we want to make sure the tactles. But we're 97 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: seeing now more than every if you don't have solid 98 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: guard play man, it destroys the way your quarterback plays 99 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: from the pocket, particularly if you don't have an athletic quarterback. 100 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, for instance, when the New Orleans Saints were rolling, 101 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,679 Speaker 1: they always had Pro Bowl caliber guards for the longest 102 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: time in front of him because it was important that 103 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: he didn't get pressure right in his face right away, 104 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: and I think more teams are realizing the value of that. 105 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: Look the Patriots, yeah, DJ like the Patriots. But years ago, 106 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: let's let's think about this. I had the toughest time 107 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: giving Quentin Nelson a big grade that matched what he 108 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: was just because the stigma and the stereotypes that are 109 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: the long time narratives that have gone with guards for 110 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: so long, like hey man, we can't draft a guard 111 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: in the top five, Like what are we doing? We 112 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: can't even have that conversation. But now we're seeing some 113 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: of those old narratives, some of those old um lines 114 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: of thought, they're no longer relevant because the game has 115 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: changed so much, and so offensive line is definitely a 116 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: position or has positions of premium. And why receiver we're 117 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: seeing now more than ever you can give those guys 118 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: and they don't necessarily have to be market guys that 119 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: have an effective and function in passing yet and this 120 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: is one of the things that you know, you can't 121 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: really have this conversation over Twitter. But again Gregg brought 122 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: up a great point, uh and discussing the difference between 123 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: the compensation for somebody like Julio Jones versus trading up 124 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: for somebody in the draft, and I would then refer 125 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: back to another Jets trade would be like Sam Donald. 126 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: So in terms of what the Jets were able to 127 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: get back for Sam Donald, it wasn't just a compensation 128 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: that came from the Carolina Panthers. It was what you 129 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: can do with the financial savings that you have now 130 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: when you've cleared that money. So there's and then it 131 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: works the opposite way now that that's an opportunity cost 132 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans, because now they've they've pushed so 133 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: much money on their cap that that might cost them 134 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: resigning another player on their roster or keep them from 135 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: dabbling in free agency to bring another player. So, you know, 136 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: you look at it from Atlanta side, once they get 137 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: the cap cleaned up, it wasn't just you know, the 138 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: second round, six round picks for Julio. They have the 139 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: second the sixth round picks, and they're gonna have cash 140 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: and space to be able to add more players. So 141 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: it's never just a this guy for that pick. It 142 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: is more to it than that. Yeah, a lot more 143 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: to it. And I think what we're doing is I 144 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: think every team is different depending on where that team 145 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: is in the equation, Where are you when it comes 146 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: to being in title contention, where you when it comes 147 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: to the age of your marquee players, and are you 148 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: are you not paying the quarterback big money? Depending on 149 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: those factors, you have to build your team differently. And 150 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: I think now gms have to have a more diverse 151 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: toolbox than they used to have. Like we always talk 152 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: about some teams of the draft and developed model. Hey, 153 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: we're just gonna draft them, develop them, resign them, or 154 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: then draft somebody else. Well, now, depending on where your 155 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: quarterback is, you may not be able to lean on 156 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: that model, you know, Like if your quarterback is young 157 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: and not making big money, Oh, we can dabble in 158 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: trades and free agency and spend more money um on 159 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: other areas. But now when we pay them, we have 160 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: to have that club in our bag. We're okay. Now 161 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: we can be a draft and developed team or you're 162 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: the Rams, where hey, just this is what we do. 163 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: We'll figured out a way to piece millet around a 164 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: small collection of stars that are playing at a high 165 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: level in their prime, and we'll figure it out. I 166 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: just think now more than every general managers have to 167 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: be able to think outside of the box. And they 168 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: have to be able to live in a bunch of 169 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: different worlds, and that wasn't always the case. And I 170 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: want to say also, everything is not you know, black 171 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: and white. I and I want to do this sometimes. 172 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: I want to look at it as I'm pulling up 173 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: the standings here. Um, I want to look at it 174 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: as we are Hunter miles in our full speed ahead 175 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: chasing a championship, or we are in full rebuild retool. 176 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: Let's look to the future and we're gonna be you know, 177 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: set the foundation for three or four years down the road. 178 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: So I want to give you the sport of baseball 179 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: as an example. Look over the last two years. Okay, 180 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: so let's go with the Boston Red Sox. I mean 181 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: just lambasted for trading Mookie Bets, right, I mean that 182 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: you're the Red Sox. You should always be go for 183 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: it in a Hunter million miles an hour, and then 184 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: people would say you're the Red Sox. You can't totally 185 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: tear down and rebuild, so it doesn't make any sense 186 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: like you're kind of in the Noman's land. You're not 187 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: in the rebuild mode, but you're not chasing the title 188 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: because you traded Mookie betts Um. And another example would 189 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: be the Chicago Cubs. They just traded you Dirversh their 190 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: number one picture of the Padres this last year, and 191 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: people said, all the Cubs, they're a big market team, 192 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: how are they again? You should be going full speed 193 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: ahead towards the title. And yet you know they can't rebuild, 194 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: they can't totally gut the thing. And here we are 195 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: within a year. Um, the Red Sox are tied for 196 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: first place and the Cubs, I believe are in first place. 197 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: So they've been able to maybe maneuver around and find 198 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: that sweet middle spot of Okay, we've still got a 199 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: lot of good pieces here. We really like this player. 200 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: But this player is gonna help us kind of re refuel, 201 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: get a little bit younger, and and we're not gonna 202 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: have to go through the valley of stinking for four 203 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: or five years. And so that's why what the Falcons 204 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: at the draft I was saying, you know, it kind 205 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: of a black or white world. It's either we keep 206 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan we and we go for it, yes, yes, 207 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: or we blow it all up. Let's start take Trey Lance, 208 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: you know whoever is gonna be there, whatever quarterback and 209 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: then and then off you go. Obviously I don't think 210 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: Trey Lance would have been there, but take a quarterback 211 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: justin field whoever? Yeah, but but but the and and 212 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: I think that is the part. There was so perplexing 213 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: about it to me, Like now in recent weeks it 214 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: came out there Julio was pushing or demanding for the trade. 215 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: But my thing was, when you signed Matt Ryan to 216 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: that deal, I'm thinking you're all in. You don't you 217 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: don't bring cal Pitts to replace Julio, Like I think 218 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: cal Pitts is an outstanding tight end prospect in those things, 219 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: but Julio is a six or seven time Pro Bowl player. 220 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: He is not going to replace Julio in year one. 221 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: If anything, I thought he would compliment Julio and Calvin Ridley, 222 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: give them a middle of the field runner. And now 223 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: this offense is saying, hey, we're gonna be like the 224 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets, We're gonna outscore you and not gonna worry 225 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: about our quality defense or anything. But to swap him 226 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: out after the fact, to me, I don't, I don't 227 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: really know what that accomplished because I don't think you 228 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying though with this baseball thing though, 229 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: because it's the same thing, because I'm with you, I 230 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: said it, I said it on the air numerous times. 231 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: It does not make any sense to me. And then 232 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: I thought, well, maybe there's a gray area that we're 233 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: not thinking of, that we're not operating in, which is 234 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: you can a little bit have your cake and eat 235 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,479 Speaker 1: it too. And maybe this is gonna provide some resources 236 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: that might not see this year, but maybe as soon 237 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: as next year you can use some of those resources 238 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: to fill out the rest of your team. And you 239 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: feel like you're, you know, difference between Mookie Bets and 240 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: and and somebody like whoos Mukio is still ascending. You know, 241 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: we're not playing right right now while it's it's Julio 242 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: with descending. But nonetheless they were and within a year 243 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: we're able to kind of spread these these newfound money 244 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: resources and kind of fill in the rest of the roster. Yeah, 245 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: and and and I think that has to be a strategy. 246 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: And I don't know, and we'll see. And I like 247 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith, and I think Arthur's want to be a 248 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: fine head coach. I think sometimes though DJ and haven't 249 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: been in the rooms, we know coaches fall in love 250 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: with experienced quarterbacks because they can speak the same language. 251 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: They are have an adult conversation, You're gonna have an 252 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: adult conversation. Whereas when you you're thinking about the prospect 253 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: of dealing with a young quarterback man, how much do 254 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: I have to like water down of my system? I 255 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: may not be able to get to the back pages 256 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: of the playbook because he doesn't have this experience. The 257 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: more of those coaches are around the veteran guy, they 258 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: fall in love with those guys, which is why we've 259 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: talked about it, not only a quarterback, but at other positions. 260 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: We gotta get this guy in the building because we'll 261 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: sit here and say we need to get younger and athletic. 262 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: But the longer this guy is in the room, the 263 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: more likely that when we get to playing, the coach 264 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: is gonna put on those trusty old shoes because they're 265 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: comfortable slippers, and so sometimes you gotta you have to 266 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: get them out of the building. You can't a coach. 267 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: You can't have the tenure vet who's been around and 268 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: I know he plays all for UH teams on special teams. 269 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: We need get young and more athletic. We're gonna have 270 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: to do with that. We have to find a younger 271 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: player to be able to do those things. All right, 272 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you a question here. There's there's always 273 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: different dynamics. I don't think we always take into account 274 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: when you bring in players and the money that's associated 275 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: with the players. So if I if I asked you 276 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, what who makes them go? Who's made 277 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: them go the last several years? Who is that player? 278 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry? So you're Derrick Henry, and now you're gonna 279 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: look out and you're gonna look. You know, the guy 280 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: in front of you at quarterbacks making twenty nine point five. 281 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna look out at to the left and you're 282 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: gonna see the guy out there, Julio Jones is now 283 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: making fifteen point three. And even though I think when 284 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: he signed the deal he was might have made him 285 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: the highest paid or one of the highest paid, I think, 286 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, McCaffrey, I think it eclipsed that, but he 287 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: was I think he's what according to this he's making, Uh, 288 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: this is thirteen five, that's about right. And that was 289 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: really generous because we had talked about the time like 290 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: they didn't need to they could have just taken they 291 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: had that, They could have just taken him to the 292 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: franchise number and said it is what it is. But 293 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think when logically that logically makes sense 294 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: with what he's paid right to us logically. But you've 295 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: been in locker rooms, I've been in organizations. I'm telling 296 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: you that's that's something nobody's talking about. I mean it, 297 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: It is interesting when you think about it, because he 298 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: is unquestionably the straw that stirs to drink, but he 299 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: is underpaid by that You've got a complimentary piece that 300 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,479 Speaker 1: you're bringing over in Julio Jones. You have a quarterback 301 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: who he could sit and mumble in his locker like. 302 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: The reason this guy is good because he can play action. 303 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: Because he sticks the ball out and number twenty two 304 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: attacks the line, everybody comes up. Makes his life easy. Yeah, 305 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: that that's a tough deal. That is a tough deal 306 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: for for a running back to sit in the locker room. 307 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: And so it's really important that look, people care about 308 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: how you make them feel. So if I'm the Tennessee 309 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: Titans organization, you have to make Derrick Henry feel like 310 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: he is a very important cog in the wheel. Maybe 311 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: the most important cog. And if you can't pay him, 312 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: you better shower him with love and affection and all 313 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: that other stuff to make him know that, hey man, 314 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: this thing is about you and what you do, because 315 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: otherwise it can get sideways in that locker room. And 316 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: also remember this, A J. Brown is playing on the 317 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: other side on that Ricky deal as a second round 318 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: as a as a second round pick. He may be 319 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: a thousand there, he's not a millionaire. I don't know 320 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: if he's making a million in in this year. But 321 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: he's also gonna look on the other side of Julio. 322 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: And it's one thing to have that what I call 323 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: that childhood where you idolize Julio because Hulio is great. 324 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: It's another thing to play with him. And then you 325 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: begin to see some of the wars on Julio's game, 326 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: You're like, all, hey, whoa wait about I think this 327 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: according to the according to spot tracts one five, A J. 328 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: Brown is making one five. He's about tend to get 329 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: it's about tending to get to the table. That's trying 330 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: to get to the tables again. He has another good year. 331 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: He's gonna want to get to the table. I mean, 332 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: that's what it is because as a second year, as 333 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: a second will this will be his third year he'll 334 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: be he'll be on a four year deal, so after 335 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: year three, if he kills it, he's like, hey, let's go. 336 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, though I don't think I don't think 337 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: people take into account the money thing, because we can 338 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: explain with with Derrick Henry. You know his value based 339 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: off the position league wide, there's a difference between your 340 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: league value and your team value. In the locker room, 341 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: every I'm telling you, man, everyone knows that. The reason 342 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: why this thing is what it is is because back 343 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: to back years this guy has been the Russian champion. 344 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: He's two hundred and fifty pounds and no one wants 345 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: to deal with him. And then you look up and 346 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: you see Instagram and he's squatting and dead lifting the house. 347 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: You're like, man, that is a unique weapon. Even though 348 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: it's interesting that he and who do you work out together? 349 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: They're working out together wherever they are, Like you talk 350 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: about the full recruiting, but Derrick Henry, there's there's two things. 351 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: There's logical thinking and there's emotional thinking. Those are two 352 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: different things. If he goes back. If Derrick Kimry, if 353 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: Derrick can you post another rushing title? He puts the 354 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: hangs another one on the board. He is going to 355 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: have to knock on John Jay. Rob's doing me Like, hey, 356 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: many the best best deal the money can buy right now, 357 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: let's let's make it right. Is it's interesting? But you 358 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,719 Speaker 1: know when we think about the money deal and how 359 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: it affects, like this Julio thing is really interesting because 360 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: everyone last year got on Bill O'Brien for what he 361 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: didn't get in return for DeAndre Hopkins. DeAndre Hopkins is younger. 362 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is as accomplished in a way as Julio Jones. 363 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: He only needed the second round pick. We touched on 364 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: this last week. Hey, everything that glitters is in gold. 365 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: When it comes to the team building thing. We can 366 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: love a wide receiver, but we also can look out 367 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: there and say, man, are we are we really gonna 368 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: pay twenty million dollars for a wide receiver? Like are 369 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: we really going to pay that? And are we gonna 370 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: get the return on the investment? Because right now, DJ, 371 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 1: everyone that has been paid big money at wide receiver, 372 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: that return hasn't been one guy Stefon Dix. But about 373 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: but think about his age, he's not up to twenty million, Like, 374 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: where where is he yet with with the deal he's 375 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't think he's up there when the when the 376 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: check it out, when the Vikings redid his deal, I 377 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: don't think they redid him at a level that is 378 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: like what I would call tier one compensation, even though 379 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: he's a Tier one player. Yeah, so it looks like 380 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: it was average fourteen four. That's right in between what 381 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: a number one and the number two would do. When 382 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: they did in Minnesota, I know they did a redial, 383 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: but hey, twenty million, the twin a million dollar wide receiver. 384 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: We haven't seen the bank the bank for the block. 385 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: So they his first year in Buffalo was his year 386 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: age twenty seven year. So that's there. I mean, Julio 387 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: is coming and and and that's why I'm just getting 388 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: to the compensation. So what they give up A one? Uh? 389 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: They gave up the one Jefferson, a one and a five, right, Yeah, 390 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: so it was a one, a one plus and then um, 391 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: that's why the conversation was more for Stefon Diggs than 392 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: what you get for Julio. Julio is thirty two years 393 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: old Stefen digg is coming over at age twenty seven. 394 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: It's five years difference, five years of prime, five years difference. 395 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: And he was an ascending player. Yeah, like that's the thing. 396 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: He was still kind of inching towards his prime. And 397 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: I would say the year in Buffalo was the best 398 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: year of his career in terms of like putting it 399 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: all together. And I think he proved his value in 400 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: terms you talked about locker room value. He proved his 401 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: value because he completely helped and played an instrumental role 402 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 1: in Josh Allen becoming the player that he began. So 403 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: it was a one, a five, and a six and 404 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: last year's draft and a fourth year and then a 405 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: four in the next draft. So yeah, it was considerably more. 406 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: But that's why again I think people there's three things, right, 407 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: It's the it's the age, it's the contract, and it's 408 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: the position. So maybe the position might be a strike 409 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: against you, but he had the age and the contract, 410 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, working in his favorite big time uh, And 411 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: that's why that's why you see the different compensation for 412 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: these players. Yeah, I mean, it's it's crazy to think about. 413 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: And I think that the next receiver who was doing 414 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: a pay day. I think Davante Adams is do a 415 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: pay day, and it'll be interesting to see how the 416 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: Packers handled that on the I mean while dealing with 417 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: the and Rodgers deal, you know, and so I mean, 418 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: there's so many different things in play when it comes 419 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: to the wide receiver souff, but the Davante Adams and 420 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: Roger's situation is one to monitor because if they cave 421 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: in and pay Aaron Rodgers what we assumed that he 422 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: wants the deal to be sweetened, what does that now 423 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: mean for Davante Adams Because they also went out and 424 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: eight Arian Jones when no one know but none of 425 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: us thought that they were Arian Jones. So it's one 426 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: of those things you talked about, emotions and those things 427 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: to be interesting to see how this plays on the 428 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: locker room. All right, but let's have some fun. I 429 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: thought we'd bring in the bill here and uh and 430 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: go through and try and find the number one pass 431 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: catching duo in each division. So how we're gonna do this. 432 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: We're gonna go We'll start like in the a f 433 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: C East, We'll go uh, all four teams in that division. 434 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: The bill is gonna give us their top due could 435 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: be receiver, receiver, could be receiver, tight end, could be 436 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: tight end tight end um, and then Bucky, you and 437 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: I will kind of put our heads together and see 438 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: who we think is the number one pass catching duel 439 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: in the division. Are you ready to bell? Yeah? I'm ready. 440 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's go. Let's start. Let's go a FC East. 441 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: What do you got So with the Bills Stepan Digs 442 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley, With the Dolphins, Will Fuller and Jalen Waddle, 443 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: and you could also look at DeVante Parker. So that 444 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: combination with the Patriots and nikkil Harry and Jacoby Myers 445 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: or Nakill Harry and Nelson Aghilar, with the Jets Corey 446 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: Davis and Denzel Mims. I think with the first of 447 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: all the Patriots, I think I would throw those tight 448 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: ends in there. With John hus Smith and Hunter Henry, 449 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: I think I would probably I would rather have that 450 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: tight ends. Yeah, yeah, I think that would be my 451 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: I think that would be my duo of for them. 452 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: But what uh when you look at the rest of 453 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: that division, golly, um, what do you think? Buck Man? 454 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: I almost believe that you have to go Diggs and Beasley, 455 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: right like beas he is a most in the slot 456 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: and Diggs is unguardable in their offense. I mean DeVante Parking, 457 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: Willfuller like will Fuller, Kasecki is a weapon for them. 458 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: That's a tough one, but yeah, to me, I just 459 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: think you have a pure number one in Stefon Diggs. 460 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: So it's kind of like Stefon Diggs plus you know, 461 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 1: whatever else you want to throw out there, I think 462 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: I would take. If you get me the choice, I 463 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: gotta go play a game. That's the group I would want. Yeah, 464 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm dig and Beasley. All right, let's go. Let's go 465 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: a f C North here in ne Bile. So with 466 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: the a f C North, we have Marquis Brown and 467 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins. For the Ravens, we have Jamaar Chase and 468 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd or you look at Jamaar Chase and Tee 469 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: Higgins for the Bengals. For the Browns we have Jarvis 470 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. And then for the Steelers 471 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: we have Juju Smith, Schuster and Chase Claypool. I would 472 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: I would say tight end wise, for the Ravens, I 473 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: would definitely put Andrews in there um as one of 474 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,959 Speaker 1: their guys, So that's probably You're probably looking at Andrews 475 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: and Marquis Brown. You know, Marcus Brown hasn't given them 476 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: what they want yet, but I would say that's probably 477 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: the top due over Shod Bateman is gonna make a 478 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: push this year as a rookie for them. Um, but 479 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: I still think I would probably go uh with with 480 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: that combination for the best for the Ravens. If you 481 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: told me, though, buck Um, I know I'd be intrigued 482 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: by Pittsburgh because I love Claypool teamed up with Juju. 483 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: I like that combo. I know the Browns have the 484 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: history with those guys. You're gonna go with those guys. 485 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: That's a Chucky Bucky Brooks pick. I'm gonna go. I'm 486 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: gonna go Sinnatti. I'm gonna go Sinc. I'm gonna give 487 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: me te Higgins and and Jama Chase. Let's roll. What 488 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: about tying Tyler Boyd. You know Tyler Boyd's legit, but 489 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you for the future, those are the 490 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: two dudes that that get me that I'd be really 491 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: worried about defending would be those two dudes. Yeah, I mean, 492 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: I understand it, but I'm looking around. I can't go. 493 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: I can't go with you. I can There's something again 494 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: that I think you average eight yards of kids. I 495 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: mean it's it's just hard for me to say that 496 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: his quarterback couldn't throw it ten yards. How are you 497 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: gonna average more than eight? I mean, can you break 498 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: a tackle or something like? You? Can I get more? 499 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: I mean eight yards of kids? Um? Look, the O 500 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: b J thing is definitely brand name. O b J 501 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: is coming off an injury. Jarvis Landry, I mean I 502 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: would lean towards that. I do feel Higgins had had 503 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: more yards and touchdowns by the way last year than 504 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd as a rookie. I mean, I'm Higgins. Feel 505 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: like you were hating on Ti Higgins there, like like 506 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: like I was a Ti Higgins fans draft using my 507 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: top five, Like I'm okay with Higgins. Um, come join me, 508 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: come on, come with the Bengals, come join me, so 509 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: so like so disrespectful. Who's here's a question right now? 510 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: Just simply then I know, not not in the past, 511 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: but right now, who's more talented Jamaar Chase or Rhodell Beckham. Well, 512 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: I mean, my guys coming off a knee injury. I 513 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: mean like he had the balky knee. I mean, I've 514 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: seen the last the last time I saw the last 515 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: time I saw Jamar Chase, I was still wait for 516 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: him to land after his vertical job. I mean the 517 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: talentedalented gosh I feel like here. I mean I am 518 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: him in and I wrote down on my paper, O, 519 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: B J and Landry here. But yeah, I mean I 520 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe the Bengals, but I mean it's like 521 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: quarterback will be able to throw. I mean which Quarterback's hell, 522 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna be good man. This isn't a quarterback discussion. 523 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: It's a duo discussion. I mean, you just gave ju 524 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: Ju and all that. Okay, I'm giving you the final. 525 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm giving you the final, the final call. Make the 526 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: call which which duo in this debension to go? Baker 527 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: Mayfield going to J and Landry. Okay, there you go. 528 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: I say that, Now you go, Chalk. That's fine. Let's 529 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: go to the next one we got here. Let's go 530 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: a f C South South. All right. With the a 531 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: f C South, we have Brandon Cooks and Randall cop 532 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: for the Texans. For the Colts, we have t Y 533 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: Hilton And Michael Pittman Jr. For the Jaguars. We have 534 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: DJ Shark and Lavisca Channel Jr. For the Titans, we 535 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: have Julio Jones and A J. Brown. Well, Buck, I mean, 536 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: you might want try and argue for your for your 537 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: jacks here, by man, this is another contest. I think 538 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: this is uh, this is like Ocho Single getting knocked out, 539 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: and you can knocked out. You got knocked up? He 540 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: got up yet? But yeah, now this is this is 541 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: Julio Jones and A J. Brown all day. Like I'm 542 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: looking at I'm surveying the division, and man, there's a 543 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: huge disparity between their pass catches and the rest of 544 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: men a division. And I like what Indianapolis can do offensively, 545 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: But I don't know if you're scared by their playmakers 546 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: on the outside. I think, yeah, I think Julio and 547 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: A J. Brown. So maybe the Paris Campbell, any Paris 548 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: Campbell to kind of be what they were hoping he 549 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: was gonna be, you know. But the good thing is 550 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: they're so good upfront and they man, they have the deepest, 551 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: maybe the deepest collection of running backs that you will find, 552 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: with Marlon Mack, Jonathan Taylor, Naheim Hanes. That's a good 553 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: offensive line. They can run it, so it may not 554 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: be as essential for them to have a dominant guy. 555 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: But there's a huge difference between Julio Jones and A. G. 556 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,959 Speaker 1: Brown and the rest of the crew. Before we move 557 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: on to the f C West, my only comment on 558 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: that knockdown of Chad Johnson, uh was it it was 559 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: a receiver getting knocked down, and it reminded me of 560 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: another receiver because it reminded me of t O. Because 561 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: you remember when Teo reached down in his sock and 562 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: pulled out that sharpie. This dude reached down in his 563 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: sock and pulled out his fist. That's where that coach 564 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: came from. That thing was that thing was so telegraphed. 565 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: That thing came down pulled out the sharp Why I think, 566 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: I think the big thing. And here's look one I 567 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: would never get in the ring. To him for getting 568 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: in there, I wouldn't want to nor the octagon. But 569 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: to me, I was like, that's a ricky mistake. Like 570 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: he's trying to get off the ropes and he doesn't 571 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: know like how to get out of there. He just 572 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: leaves that chin what open and He's like, hey man, 573 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: you can't get out like that campus. But he pulled up, 574 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: he popped up, He popped a quick. I would say this, 575 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: I know we're on the tangent that that fight thing 576 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: that like looking Paul Mayweather like I didn't if I 577 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: didn't watch it highlights No, but but if logan Paul 578 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: me twenty million dollars for that and maywhere that makes 579 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: a hundred million. My goodness, I see why Mayweather didn't 580 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: try and put him down, because you don't want to 581 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: kill the cash like that. It's a people. We need 582 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: to find something like that. We need to find so 583 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: so so real quick for a move on. So did 584 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: Floyd just not even go at him? I mean he 585 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: didn't really think any punches. He just kind of was 586 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: like just taking it. He would pop him a little 587 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: bit and kind of do it like he I mean, 588 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: it was like you shadow boxing with Trey when he 589 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: was little, a little bit like, yeah, he could always 590 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: get off when he wanted to get off. But I 591 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: think the money was in not putting them down, but 592 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: making it appear like a very competitive fight, much like 593 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: he did with Connor mcgarrett. Hey man, let's take this 594 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: thing in the deep water. Let people get excited because 595 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: they tune in. But I don't care what anybody say. 596 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 1: Like people tune in, so give him a show. Did 597 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: he ended up knocking out McGregor though, right, that's because 598 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: McGregor got tired. It's just like it's just like an 599 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: m M A fight, Like if McGregor goes into the 600 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: fourth and fifth round, like he gasses out. So that's 601 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: that's all he did. He let him, He let him 602 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: swing himself out. He got tired and then he played 603 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: with It's not it's not it's not good for it's 604 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: not good for Connor. If the other dude from YouTube 605 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: can go the distance and you could, that's not it's 606 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: not a good luck. I'mous leave with that. Not a 607 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: good look, uh, which again defies logic, like there's no 608 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: way that Floyd was going at this YouTube dude. Come on, man, 609 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: come on, come on, all right, we gotta get a 610 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: pick of the pace here a f C West. Go 611 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: ahead and be all what we got with the f 612 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: C West. We have Courtland sunn and no offense for 613 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: the Broncos Alora. You can look at Cortland Sun and 614 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy with the Chiefs Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey 615 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: with the Raiders, Henry Ruggs and Darren Waller with the Chargers, 616 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, well, you know, call and 617 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: charge games. I love Keenan, I love Mike. I think 618 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: that's a good combination. But I I don't see how you 619 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: go anywhere but the Chiefs on this one. We can 620 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: make this one pretty quick here, Bucket, Oh no, I 621 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: think this is Tyreek Killed and Travis Kelsey. Mean, those 622 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: guys are I would say, I would say for the 623 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: Raiders on third down, renfro and Waller is tough. That's 624 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: a tough combination to deal with on third down. But yeah, 625 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: that's that's the Chiefs. We can we can move on 626 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: from that one. Let's go to the the NFC East here, Nobile. Yeah, 627 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: we'll start with the Cowboys. We have a Marie Cooper 628 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: and Ceedee Lamb. With the Giants we have Kenny Galladay 629 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: and Evan Ingram or Kenny Galladay and Cadarius Tony. And 630 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: with the Eagles we have DeVonta Smith and Jalen Reagor. 631 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: You can look at yeah, Devanta Smith and got her 632 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: the With the Washington football team, we have Curtis Samuel 633 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: and Terry McLaurin. I kind of like Curtis Samuel and 634 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: Terry McLaren but I just to me, I'm I'm such 635 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: a Seedee Lamb guy and a Marie Cooper even thought 636 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: consistent for the money that he makes, um, I still 637 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: think I probably I would go with the Cowboys. Yeah, 638 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: I would go there because Marie Cooper. I mean, we 639 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: talked about inconsistencies, but didn't you look at the end 640 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: of the year, the numbers are always kind of there. 641 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: When he has a quarterback, Uh, Ceedee Lamb is fantastic 642 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: aspects and make a major jump. I would go to Cowboys. 643 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: I do like mclauren and Samuel Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's gonna 644 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: be some boom or bust. If I was a fantasy 645 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: football fan, I would play those guys. Be some big Sundays. 646 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: Big Sundays. There's gonna be some turnovers, but you don't 647 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: get credit for those turnovers, only Fitzpatricks. So yeah, I 648 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: would take those guys. Yeah, A good call. NFC North. 649 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: With the NFC North, we start with the Bears. We 650 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: have Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller or Allen Robinson and 651 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: Marquis Goodwin.

And with 654 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: the Packers you have Davante Adams and Robert Tony. In 655 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: with the Vikings have Justin Jefferson and Adam. I'm going 656 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Vikings just with the combination 657 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: of those two dudes. I mean, Davante Adams is the 658 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: best of all of all those, but I think the 659 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: duo I would go Minnesota. Yeah, Thineland and Jefferson. They 660 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on you on the outside 661 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: because you have two crafty route runners that can get 662 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: it done. But I'll say this, you gotta just missed Detroit. 663 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: T J. Hockinson was a Pro Bowl player last year. 664 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: I love t J. Hogginson. I gave him a huge grade, 665 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: probably a little bit even though he's a Pro Bowl 666 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: Probably a little too high of a grade, but I 667 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: know he does. He doesn't have and even and even 668 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: t J. As much as I love him, I don't 669 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: think that teams came into the game being like, WHOA, 670 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: how are we gonna deal with this? No? Not at 671 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: all where we got NFC South. With the NFC South, 672 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: we start with Calvin Ridley and Kyle Pitts for the Falcons. 673 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: For the Panthers, we have Robby Anderson and you can 674 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: look at d J. Moore. And with the Saints we 675 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: have Michael Thomas and I guess, yeah, Tomara, if you 676 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: want to we want to go. We haven't put any 677 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: running backs in there, so we can't. We can't make that. 678 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: We can't make that move cleansing it. This is Tampa, right, 679 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean, this is Mike Evans and 680 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 1: god One all day long. I mean, and you've got 681 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: you also have Antonio Brown as a little bonus piece 682 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: in there, and you've got tight ends coming out the woodwork. Um. 683 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: I love I love I love Pitts, and I love 684 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: the combination that you're gonna have there when when you 685 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: see Pitts working in the middle of the field book 686 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: and you get the matchups that you want with him 687 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: with linebackers and safeties, and then Calvin Ridley is is 688 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 1: a good route runners we have. That's a great young combination. 689 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: But Tampa's I mean, that's the Super Bowl champs and 690 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: and uh and I like their group the best. How 691 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: about you other Tampas. I think Tampa's group is the one. 692 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: I think that is the main deal that he has. 693 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: I mean they Evan and god when they can do 694 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: it all big body, fast, big time playmakers that can 695 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: get it done like that's that's the way that's supposed 696 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: to do it like that. I think. I don't think 697 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: he's closed. Yeah, don't either. All right, we got one 698 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: more left here, NFC West, NFC West, We're going to 699 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: start with the Cardinals. We have a J Green and 700 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins with the Rams, Cooper Cup and Robert Woods 701 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: with the Niners, Brendan I you can Deebo Samuel and 702 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, DK metcalf and title to lock it 703 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: we Kittle, Kittle might have a question about that one 704 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: to be Oh yeah, I forgot my Kiddle. I might 705 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:25,439 Speaker 1: throw Kittle on there. Um, look, seattle Man, that's pretty good. 706 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,399 Speaker 1: Buck Um, that's a that's a tough one there with 707 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: with with Metcalfe and uh and lock it. But I 708 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: guess if we're we don't we can't give Kittle the 709 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: bonus points as a blocker because technically we're just talking 710 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: about the receiving part of it. Um ah man, I 711 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: love I love him so much and I love the 712 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: combination if it's a trio. If it was a trio, 713 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: I might go San Francisco, But if we're limiting it 714 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: to a duo, I think I'll stick with Seattle. Yeah 715 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: it is. Lilliams is good too, though Rams is a 716 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: good combo to Rams a good combo. I think the 717 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: difference and why you go with Metcalf and Locket, I 718 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: think the big playability. Yeah, I think that's the one 719 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: thing that separates them. Metcalf and Locket. They put up 720 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: is weird because that offense fluctuated. They started out like 721 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: a house on fire and they kind of peter down 722 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: the stretch. But they are I mean, a very very talented, 723 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: uh collection of play because I would go to Seattle 724 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: seas Yeah, that's that's probably a safe bet. Okay. Let's uh, 725 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: I put you on the spot here. We've kind of 726 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: gone division by division. If you could only pick one, 727 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying I won't even say this is 728 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: the best one, but like, let's just say for your 729 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: money that you gotta you gotta watch this duo all 730 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: year long of the guys that we've kind of put 731 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: out there, is there one that that jumps out to you, 732 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: you'd say, I'll sign up for this one. M a 733 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: duo that I'm thinking that's going to jump out. Let's 734 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: go back like DJ like honestly to do with it, 735 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: I would say, watch out is I don't know if 736 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: there's been enough attention paid to the team that we 737 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: talked about at the beginning to Patriots with the Titans. Yeah, 738 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: that combination is really a scary combination. I'm not calling 739 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: them like what they had previously with the late Aaron 740 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: Hernandez and Gronk, but that is a dynamic duo when 741 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: you have Jono Smith and Hunter Henry, two guys that 742 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: can run rouse and they can do seams, and they 743 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 1: can do a bunch of different things. Obviously it depends 744 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: on the trigger man, but potentially they could be a 745 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: problem because Jono Smith can spread out. I know Hunter 746 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: Henry is a terrific playmaker that can do a bunch 747 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: of different things. Their problematic I think would keep an 748 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: eye on that group because I think the patient is 749 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot better than people get them credit 750 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: for it. Yeah, that I I like that. I would 751 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: say the one that I'm looking forward to watching the 752 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: most um And again, this one we didn't even say 753 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: it's not the best in the division. We touched on 754 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: it though, and I think it would be Atlanta. I 755 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: think Calvin Ridley is gonna be kind of outside the 756 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: shadow of Julio Jones. People are gonna really recognize how 757 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: talented this kid is. And then all I don't know 758 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: about you, but on social media I hear is you 759 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: guys stop talking about Coyle Pits. No rookie tight ends 760 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: go over a thousand yards. They don't do this. I'm like, 761 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. This dude's different, man. I'm excited to 762 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: see how they use him. You know, it would have 763 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: been a little more space if they had Julio out 764 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: there as well. No Julio, but to me, how they 765 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: use Ridley as a pure number one and then having 766 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: a mismatched player and cow Pits even though he's a rookie. 767 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be curious to watch the Atlanta Falcons. Yeah, 768 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: because I think the big thing with um cow PiZZ 769 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: he has so much hype preceding his arrival. How close 770 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: can he come to to to meeting some of those 771 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: expectations because we talked about and being a unicorn and 772 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: the different things that he can do is different, and 773 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: Ricky's progressed at a different rate pass catches on the perimeter, 774 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: and I will be curious to see how Arthur Smith 775 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: used him and how he's able to make him get 776 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: enough touches to bounce out the offense in the passing 777 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: game away from Calvin River, because it's gonna be really important. 778 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, if it's up to me, I break the 779 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,399 Speaker 1: huddle every single snap with Hurst and Pits in the game, 780 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: I break the huddle and twelve. Now, if you want 781 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: to just line up Pits and play him as the X, 782 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: play him as Dex. He's their second best receiver on 783 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: the roster. Forget tight end, just play my receiver. If 784 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: you want plan him receiver, let him be a playmaker. 785 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: I mean he can do that. Um, I think going 786 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: all the way back, I would love to see him 787 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: do what I call twenty two personnel, two two backs, 788 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 1: two tight ends, one wide receiver Kevin Ridley and let 789 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: Kalpiz do that George Kittle stuff because if they do that, 790 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: that's when he's a problem, because how do you match 791 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: up with him. Do you put your big sets in 792 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: to deal with that and then he goes out and 793 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: takes your linebacker out into deep water, or do you 794 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: line up in play bass and they run the football? 795 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: Um and managesting because he is a very very unique playmaker. Alright, 796 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: no doubt. All right, well, I gotta I get get 797 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:35,919 Speaker 1: out of here. We gotta run. This has been a fun, 798 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: fun episode. It starts with Bucky laughing at the beginning 799 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: of the show and we finish up with a good 800 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: overall experience. Is a good omen. Thanks to the Bill 801 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: for putting this whole thing together.
