Speaker 1: Scott Fish welcome back.

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, but it's pretty normal this time. Last year,

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 3: between February and June and July, I only did one show.

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: That's not four and a half month.

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: But that's not it's not gonna be.

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 3: This is my second show.

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: All right, good we want you back.

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: Yes, we miss you and I'm excited to be in

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: your house again. I wore my swimsuit. I see that

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: pool is under construction, but I can swim at.

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: The boat we're adding in the Olympic lanes under the pool.

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: It was traded for Paris's my my hair stylist. They're

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: not barbers anymore. Okay, my hair stylist decided you wanted

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: to get a pool put in your yard. They sold

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: their boat and then started collecting money. Do you know

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 1: much a pool a just a regular backyard pool costs

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: to put in.

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: I don't even have the slightest clues. Somody going to

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: take a complete guess at twenty eight thousand dollars.

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: Add about one hundred thousand dollars to that.

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: What yes, Oh my gosh.

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: So they sell their boat and they save money and

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: they scrimp and they put together over one hundred thousand

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: dollars to get just a standard suburban backyard pool put in.

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: That's hand off the money to pool guy and he

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: goes a wall. He never did anything, kept the money

34
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: and took off for Kentucky. What and he did it

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: to like ten fifteen people in the twin cities. They're

36
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: just out over one hundred thousand dollars. There's nothing they

37
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: can do.

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: There's no recourse at all. Nope, that's the.

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: Police are not interested, you know. It's he's filed bankruptcy

40
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: to try to protect himself, but they don't. But he

41
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: was sitting on all this cash. Nobody cares, nobody's following up,

42
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: and they're never gonna get paid.

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: That's I can't even imagine. I can't even imagine.

44
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: I know I can't either. One hundred thousand dollars just gone.

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: Man, Oh that's street. Tell the story, dig your own pool,

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: get a shovel shot Aston and Sino Man did it

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: so anyone could do it. And he did that in summer,

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: so I mean a school year.

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm not a big pool guy.

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: No, I'm not either.

51
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. I'm just not my thing.

52
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: I get in the water with them. I'm not a

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: hot tub guy though. That feels like no, I'm not.

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: Is it because of the germs?

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: Uh? You know, like if it's over chlorinated and stuff

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: and cleaned regularly and stuff, then sure it's fine.

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: But what if it's just your hot tub for you

58
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: and your family. You're already sharing germs.

59
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: Maybe I guess I like saunas. Yeah, I don't know.

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: On the hot tub, I remember, you know, yeah, let's

61
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: we can move on. But yeah, I'm not a huge

62
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: hot tub guy. It's it's okay in a hotel. Hotel,

63
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: I need something to do in the pool.

64
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: I guess the pool when I'll swim a little out wide.

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: I just I need to gamify the pool experience that

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: I say, water polo, two.

67
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: Young boys footballs and stuff.

68
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah right, they have throw I gotta throw football. I

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: gotta gamify the pool experience.

70
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: For those of you who listened to last week's show,

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: you know that what we're what we're doing here is

73
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: breaking down breaking A lot of people were plus fifteen seconds, Ye,

74
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: plus fifteen seconds. When is this thing going to get interesting?

75
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: Plus fifteen seconds?

76
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: We're breaking down all the teams in each of the conferences.

78
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: Last week we did the NFC and AFC East. This

79
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: week we're doing the South. We're heading south. We're heading south,

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: the AFC South, the NFC South. We're highlighting the off

81
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: season moves. The rosters have stabilized, now, yeah, pretty much.

82
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: You know they were like ninety nine percent. You know

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: these are the rosters these teams are gonna have. So

84
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: we look at what the roster looks like, highlight the

85
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: key differences from last year, and just.

86
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 3: Give some overall thoughts on each of the teams. Ye,

87
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: at least the fantasy football you know, relevant relevant to one. Yes,

88
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: to have stabilized. I like that you took all the

89
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: good teams too, did I? I was joking I have

90
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: Carolina on my I feel like I don't mean good,

91
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 3: I mean fun teams, but.

92
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: Teams I may have may not. I did pick my

93
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: now Houston. I went on a way again because I'm

94
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: a big Texans. Guys, this is my team. I think

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: they're going to win the Super Bowl or at least

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl.

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: I like it.

98
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: So I did purposely give myself the Texans. The others

99
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: are mostly just start throws. Okay, all right, let's start

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: with Tennessee. I'll let you go first. Let's let's a

101
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: lot of changes for Tennessee.

102
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, coaching changes, ground and running game. Derrick Henry gone,

103
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: Mike Vrabel gone. They bring in Brian Callahan, who uh

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: was OC of the Bengals for five years, but similar

105
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: to Kevin O'Connell with the Rams, he didn't call the play.

106
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor called the plays for the Bengals, so we'll

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens there. Brought in his old high

108
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 3: school friend Nick Colts from the Jags. They went to

109
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: high school together. Nick Colets actually remember that was like

110
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: a coordinator for Brian Callahan's dad Nebraska and stuff, so

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: long history there. But he was the pass game coordinator

112
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: for the Jags. They were ninth in passing. The Jags

113
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: were last year, so I expect a whole lot more

114
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: passon if you're bringing those two Rabel and Derrick Hedrick. Uh,

115
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 3: basically we're gonna have uh Will Levis. They're they're gonna

116
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: have to try to groom him, try to develop him.

117
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: This I'm telling I'm telling you they made a mistake.

118
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: But he threw four touchdowns in that first game.

119
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: They drafted JJ McCarthy. Yeah, I yet had that four

120
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: touchdown game that first game, four touchdowns. You know where

121
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm going with this. Yes, the rest of the year

122
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. Wow, that's Will Levis was awful. He had

123
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 1: the lowest completion rate of any starter last year. He's

124
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm I don't understand why teams croll out these guys.

125
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: You know, I realized he was a high second round

126
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: pick last year, right, right, and so you've got some

127
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: equity built into it. But can't you look at the

128
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: tape and just go, look, we can't count on Will Levis.

129
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: Let's make it.

130
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Let's go get another guy and find out what happens.

131
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't get keep drafting until you

132
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: hit it. That's Malik Willis two years ago. Draft Levis

133
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 3: the next year. He didn't seem like it just keep

134
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: drafting quarterbacks. Yes, they brought in Mason Rudolph to sit

135
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: behind him. I don't know. It's not a good quarterback

136
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: in situation, but they're doing all they can on the

137
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 3: with the other weapons to try to give him some help.

138
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: They brought in Tony Pollard. They have Taja Spears.

139
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeh.

140
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 3: Both just incredible pass catchers. They combined for well over

141
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: one hundred catches last year on separate teams. Obviously, yes,

142
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: but Spears was actually a little more efficient than Tony Pollard.

143
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: If you watched Tony Pollard last year, that would surprise

144
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: you at all. But they're both very versatile, and they

145
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: can take those dump offs from Will Levis maybe add

146
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: up that completion percentage. They have DeAndre Hopkins. They paid

147
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley to come in too much. I thought, really,

148
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: you don't think that. You don't think he should be

149
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: the tenth highest rate with the third most guaranteed.

150
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Buddy, I knew it was bad.

151
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: I know it is that bad for forty seven million

152
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: guaranteed for a man.

153
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: God bless his agent.

154
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And they brought in Tyler Boyd, which

155
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: I think is also another good signing there. So yeah,

156
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: I add those. Now Treylon Burks doesn't have to start,

157
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: but yeah, he's you know, as a fourth option, he's okay.

158
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: They got Chicka Kwank Konker still, I see. I like

159
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 3: Chicka Kwank, but he does he does things that aren't

160
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: great on the football field at times, but sometimes he

161
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: can really hit that scene and look really good. So

162
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: maybe he's just got to grow. I don't think he's

163
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: a huge fantasy asset, probably a deeper guy. But they

164
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: got weapons around Levis. But as you know with fantasy,

165
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: a lot of times it depends on your quarterback. And

166
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: he's how much can he support? Can he support all

167
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: those weapons or does it just help the past game

168
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: a little?

169
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: Look, We'll Levis has the opportunity to get better. Of

170
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: course in year two. I just didn't see the traits

171
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: that I wanted to in year one to make me

172
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: feel confident about it. So I don't want to make

173
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: it sound like I'm writing it writing off his career.

174
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm just not very optimistic.

175
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it could be. It could be, And we

176
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: don't know how well Brian Callahan and Nickolets can develop

177
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 3: a quarterback. Yeah, we don't really know the level they've been.

178
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 3: You know Brian with Burrow or you know Nicholets last

179
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: year with Lawrence, etcetera. We really don't know. We'll see.

180
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: So I asked this for each for each of the teams.

181
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: Does the passing game for the Texans Titans get better

182
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: or worse this year?

183
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: I think it has to get better just based on

184
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: who they have and more volume if that makes sense.

185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: Like great, I don't. Yeah, you know, when you're not

186
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: the most run heavy team in the league. Yeah, it'll

187
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: it'll probably help. And then running game, yeah, better or worse.

188
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: It's probably worse. But fantasy wise, there's gonna be a

189
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 3: lot of pass catching that'll help, So that that'll help.

190
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be fantasy points. It might

191
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: be similar, but it might be split between two people

192
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: and it might come from pass catching instead of Derrick

193
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: Henry for one hundred and fifty yards and three scores.

194
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: At this time last year, Tony Pollard was beginning of

195
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: the second round selection. Yeah, now in Tennessee, which runner

196
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: would you draft first? Taj Spears Tony Pollard?

197
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: Oh first. It is tough because I feel like they're

198
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: really going to give it give, really going to give

199
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: Pollard as much is he can. They really really want

200
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: to get him involved, but I like, this is your

201
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 3: classic who do you want it? Their ADP at the

202
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: States the question where all of us they're gonna say,

203
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: Taj Spears if he's the lower guy, but you're posing hey.

204
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: At the same price, at the same price, they're both available,

205
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: and you've decided you're drafting a Tennessee running back.

206
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: Here here's the thing. I think I'm going Spears, And

207
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: here's why. Not only is he more efficient, and I

208
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: think he's got more juice. We saw him in training

209
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: camp against the Vikings, and we saw him last year

210
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: enough to see that he's he's got some some speed

211
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 3: to him. He's got that. I'm I'm losing track of

212
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 3: the word here, but I think I'd rather have him

213
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: because where I'm going to be drafting these guys is

214
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 3: probably my RB three or four and that point I

215
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: got my one and two. I want the upside guy.

216
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, Spears feels like the upside guy.

217
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

218
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: I think his you know, just the skill set. He's

219
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: got some electric moves. Yes, honey, Pollard, I no one

220
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: play should affect me as much as this one play

221
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: from Tony Pollard last year. Cowways have the ball at

222
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: the two or three yard line of their opponent. They

223
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: hand the ball off to Tony Pollard. He's going off

224
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: left tackle and he's got the entire way from the

225
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: left tackle to the to the cone, no defenders. And

226
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: at the point of the handoff, I'm saying, I'm thinking

227
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: to myself, obvious touchdown. And he erased that touchdown. He took,

228
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: he went, he he he didn't go far enough outside.

229
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: He ran into a defender. And I'm like, ninety nine

230
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: times out of one hundred, the running back get paid

231
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: gets paid on that play, and he managed to erase

232
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I can't get.

233
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: Weird how he was the opposite guy I know two

234
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 3: years before. I know.

235
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: It's such a fickle game.

236
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 3: I know.

237
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to the Houston Texans. I love the Texans,

238
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: all right. So the passing game gets a big change

239
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: with perpetual ingrade Stefan Diggs arriving in Houston. He expands

240
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: the receiver room in a way that might not be

241
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: as fantasy friendly as we would like because Nico Collins

242
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: are there, Tank Dell is there, Dalton Schultz comes back,

243
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, as we all know, and this worries me

244
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. If Diggs he ain't getting the ball enough,

245
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: everybody has to suffer, right, If Diggs ain't happy, nobody's happy.

246
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: It's not that a player of Diggs's level came into

247
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: the situation. It's Diggs coming into this situation.

248
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: All the personality and the baggage and everything.

249
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen.

250
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: Now Collins and Diggs both have ADPs inside the top thirty.

251
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: They're separated by just five picks. So I'll ask you

252
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: similar question. Would you rather have Collins or would you

253
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: rather of Digs Collins?

254
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: That's not even I don't even think that's close to me.

255
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: I think Collins is the star in the making. But

256
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: we've we've been on the Collins train for.

257
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: Years, you and I have. But when we looked like

258
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: morons two years ago, we kept talking about Colins. So Collins,

259
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: here's the separator. I'm gonna give you some data on

260
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: Collins and Diggs. Collins on deep balls passes of twenty

261
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: or more yards last year, Get this, he caught eleven

262
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: of twelve passes on deep balls.

263
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 3: It doesn't even feel surprising, But.

264
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing?

265
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: Still amazing?

266
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: Now, let's go to Diggs. Diggs got thrown to sixteen

267
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: times on deep passes from Josh Allen last year. You

268
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: want to guess how many catches he had on those

269
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: deep balls.

270
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna it feels like it's bad, just the way

271
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: your team. I'm gonna go with seven.

272
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: Four, three interceptions and no touchdown.

273
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: That's like twenty five percent of my math.

274
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: That is correct, well done. Here's at the end of

275
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: the day. I want my receivers to get downfield passes right,

276
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: I want big plays. I want that, and Nico Collins

277
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: can deliver it. Stefan Diggs doesn't do that.

278
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: Can you Can you make the argument that because Nico Ken,

279
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: and because we know Dell Ken as well, that Digg

280
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 3: zill run really free in the middle. Maybe in short

281
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 3: but again, we've talked about this all the way back

282
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: to the days of Juju Smith Schuster with that you

283
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: need volume in touchdowns. You do and if you don't

284
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: do it though it's not fantasy.

285
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: You mentioned Tank Dell. He returns from last year's broken

286
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: leg and last month's nightclub shooting. 'tis but a scratch.

287
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: I understand she's a flesh wound, but still wow, not

288
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: great sign he is he is participating in limited fashion

289
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: in in off season workouts. Other receivers on the team

290
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: like Robert Woods and Noah Brown and John Matchi are

291
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: basically plaster to the bench here. I mentioned Dalton Schultz

292
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: signed a new three year deal in the off season.

293
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: He was a highly inconsistent producer last year, and I

294
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: think that continues here and bring in Diggs doesn't add more.

295
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: I think to Dalton Schultz repertoire here, so I think

296
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: he's a spot starter. And then of course c J.

297
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Stroud coming off very likely the best rookie season of

298
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: any quarterback in NFL history, numerous record set started his

299
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: career with one hundred and ninety one passes without an

300
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: interception I remember, which is staggering.

301
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: That's incredible.

302
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,359
Speaker 1: He posted finished the season posting a touchdown to interception

303
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: ratio of twenty three to five. His average distance of

304
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: throw was eight and a half yards, the longest of

305
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: any rookie since they started tracking the stat and his

306
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: deep passing was fantastic, completing fifty nine percent of his

307
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: deep balls that was second best in the entire league,

308
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: not him on rookies the whole league. He had the

309
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: second best deep pass completion percentage eight touchdowns on deep passes,

310
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: no interceptions. Unbelievable.

311
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 3: It is CJ Stroud, Yes on CJ Stroud, just how

312
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: well he understands and knows the game. Have you watched

313
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: any of the clips of him and Michael Parsons going

314
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: through plays talking about the game. That guy tends Apparently

315
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: c J. Stowd talks about the game like on a

316
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning level. It's unbelievable how well he understands the

317
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: They would go back and forth. Mike could be like,

318
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: well if you did that, I'm gonna do this, and

319
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: CJ's well, then I would do this, and I'm like, wow,

320
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: this is and there. It's just incredible to watch how

321
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: smart these two are with the offensive defense. And they're

322
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: still good too.

323
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's still it's a physical game, but it's

324
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: also a cerebral game. Yeah, and depending on your position

325
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: especially so. Does the passing game get better for the

326
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: Texans this year? And I think it does.

327
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: I think c J.

328
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: Stroud matures to another level. He only had he had

329
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: twenty three touchdowns last year, that number he could have

330
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: thirty three. I mean he could easily be for good

331
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: for ten more touchdowns this year and then you get

332
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: Tank del back on the full season. You know, I

333
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: just think this and add ad Indgs, so it gets better.

334
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Houston running game. The Texans inexplicably

335
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: swapped the lightly used Devin singletary for the aged Joe Mixon,

336
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: who's going to start the season with eighteen hundred career touches.

337
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 3: That's a lot.

338
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: It's a lot of work. He has not topped four

339
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: point one yards per carry Joe Mixon in five years,

340
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: and four point one per carry is not a lot.

341
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 3: And a lot of people will not a lot of people,

342
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: one person at least, but I know other people have

343
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: mentioned it. Zach Taylor ran him up the middle into

344
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: defenders so much that I wonder if that hurts, like

345
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 3: his yards per carrying things like that. But also that's

346
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 3: really painful touches. Those are touches that are really wear

347
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 3: you down.

348
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,239
Speaker 1: So last year Mixon dropped or drooped, depending on how

349
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: you want to look at it, down to running back

350
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: thirty five by Pro Football Focus. His elusiveness dropped to

351
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: running back fifty, and his yards after contract contact to

352
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: drop to fifty one. You know, everything on mixing looks

353
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: like a.

354
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: Guy into for me who is washed.

355
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so let's go to the backup. Well, okay,

356
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: I can't be trusted to talk about Damian Piers. So

357
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you take it away from here. Are

358
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: you are? Damian Pierce returns as the backup. I you

359
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: know I've ruined all my credibility and matters around Damian Peers.

360
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: I don't think you have.

361
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: But I think, what do you think?

362
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: I think one thing we did see at the end

363
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: not last year, but the end of the year before

364
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: and might have should have been a foreshadow to the

365
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: to the following year. Although he was hurt a lot,

366
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 3: he consistently runs into people instead of trying to run

367
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: around people, which caused that injury. But also, you know,

368
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 3: if they tackle him and he isn't breaking those tackles,

369
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: his numbers go way down. And I think we saw

370
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: a lot of that last year as well. We should

371
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: have seen it at the end of the previous year too.

372
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: They got to coach that out of it.

373
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels CoA it does. It feels it feels coachable.

374
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 3: Maybe he just he's used to you know in previous

375
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: you know, high school, college. It's being able to just

376
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: run through people and he was able to right away

377
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: in his career. But yeah, that's my problem with Pierce

378
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: is he needs he needs to fix that.

379
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: I'll note this, Pierce finished with Pro Football Focus is

380
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: second best pass blocking grade among all on the field,

381
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: So that'll help. Right now, if you don't like Pierce,

382
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: if you're with me, that mix's washed. And you don't

383
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: like Pierce, your only other option is Jawar Johnson, a

384
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: twenty five year old Louisville long shot, likely too small

385
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: to me in every down back, but maybe he gets

386
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: into the rotation if he shines.

387
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 3: I I wouldn't be shocked if this this year is

388
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,959
Speaker 3: a similar split to last year's was with Singletary, but

389
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 3: Pierce maybe takes more of the load later in the season.

390
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: Maybe, I mean, you know, maybe Mixon is just so

391
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: cooked they have to go to Pierce more. But I

392
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, right now, I'm just as much as much

393
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: as I'm trying to get every part of the Texans offense,

394
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,120
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna.

395
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 3: It Also would shock me if if Mixon has an

396
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 3: Alexander Madison from last year type of year where he just.

397
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 1: Told the spot and he's not good, that could very

398
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: well be the pay in the case right now, Mixon

399
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: going off the board at running back fifteen pick.

400
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: Fifty feels high. Feels I think that is classic. You

401
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: want the running back on the offense that's going to

402
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: be in a position to score a lot.

403
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: And so people are doing that thing. But I just

404
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm not a believer in him. Let's go to Jacksonville.

405
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, let's go to Jacksonville. We'll start the coaching

406
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 3: staff didn't have much much changes there, so we can

407
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: move on from that. Normally, I want to start there

408
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: just in case there's something. But let's start with the

409
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: passing game. Trevor Lawrence. We mentioned earlier. Nick Holtz was

410
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: the passing game coordinator there. Ninth in passing last year,

411
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence himself QB thirteen not actually the worst year.

412
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: They picked him up for his fifth year option. If

413
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: you watch the games, he still has room to improve.

414
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did safe to say.

415
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: I think that's that's very safe to say. They did

416
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 3: not bad, I mean not bad, you know. No, QB

417
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: thirteen feels right, It actually feels right for him. They

418
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: did lose Calvin Ridley, but they brought in Brian Thomas Junior,

419
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: who I know you love. In the draft, they brought

420
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: in Gabe Davis paid him, I believe, three for thirty ish,

421
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: three for three for more than I thought was going

422
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: to get. Yeah, yeah, and they still have Christian Kirk.

423
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 3: So now they have you know, they replaced Ridley and

424
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: Zay Jones with Brian Thomas Junior and Gabe Davis. Whatever

425
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: you think of Gabe Davis or a rookie that still

426
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: feels like an upgrade.

427
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk is going to be a guillotine superstar, you think.

428
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: So He's going to catch a ton of pass super consistent,

429
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: super consistent.

430
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: I can see that.

431
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know that he gets like double

432
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: digit touchdowns. But Christian Kirk could be sitting on one

433
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: hundred catches, yeah, you know, thirteen yards.

434
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: Or it could be the guy last year tight end,

435
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram, who had one hundred and forty three targets.

436
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: Next closest was one hundred and twenty seven at tight

437
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: end one hundred and fourteen catches. Next closest was ninety

438
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: five a tight end. He had nine hundred and sixty

439
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: three yards, which was third, but he.

440
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: Only had four scores. Swhear it took half a season

441
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: for him to get the first one.

442
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: I feel like it did. Yeah, he ended his tight

443
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: end six. If his touchdowns matched what the other stats

444
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: should have been, he would have been tight end won

445
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: by a long shot. But maybe, yeah, maybe it's just

446
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: a lot of Kirk and Ingram, very consistent, tons of targets.

447
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: You love me in your guillotine league type of situation.

448
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 3: You're gonna ask the question or do you want me

449
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: to just answer it? Did the passing game improved?

450
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: Did the passing game improve?

451
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: I think it improved? Okay, I think it improved.

452
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: With the swapping of receivers.

453
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: The swapping of those receivers in just another year for

454
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence under Doug Peterson, I feel like those factors

455
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: probably just going to be a slight improvement.

456
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to the running game.

457
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the running game, the coaches recently recently said

458
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: they want to get the ball into tank tank bigsbys.

459
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: More well more would be like twice twice. Yes, another

460
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: bruise on my ego right here.

461
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 3: I do think they. I do think they saw with

462
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 3: Etn Gain hurt again last year for a little bit,

463
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: and he still finished his running back three that they

464
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: just want to keep they want to keep him healthier.

465
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 3: I think I'm shocked they didn't do more of that

466
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: last year. But maybe a second year with Tank in

467
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: that offense, you know he'd learned some learned some things whatever.

468
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: But Etn running back three last year, Like he's going

469
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: to need to reproduce all of that to stay at

470
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 3: that level. I mean, he had fifty eight catches, but

471
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: he was one of only two running backs in the

472
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: top ten running backs with under four yards per carry. Wow,

473
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 3: three three point eight yards per carry the other one.

474
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's special. Yeah, I'm just not

475
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: convinced that Travis Etn is a special player.

476
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: Man. I thought so in college. Yeah, the fifty eight

477
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 3: catches really helps. The twelve scores really helps. If he's

478
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 3: going to be the super volume focal point of that offense.

479
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 3: He had many twenty plus touch games last year. He's

480
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 3: going to do it again. But if they do get

481
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: Tanked more involved, I'd expect to slight drop up. But

482
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: he's probably still going to finish as an RB one.

483
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 3: He's probably still going to finish in that top one regards.

484
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: It's just too volume. Yeah, yep, let's go to Indianapolis,

485
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: the last team of the AFC South. Let's go to

486
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: the passing game. We only got to see Anthony Richardson

487
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: for part of four games last year, So Week one

488
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: he did, he look good in the stretches he did.

489
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: Week one, you get the knee injury. Week two he

490
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: had a concussion, and then in Week four the shoulder

491
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: injury that ended a season.

492
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: So historic levels of fantasy points person nap.

493
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: How about that though, right that's I mean, that's the

494
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: that's the exciting part. He had the four touchdowns, despite those,

495
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: Despite those, all that that happened in the first four games,

496
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: he had four rushing touchdowns. He looked pretty mate. He

497
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: would a whopping seven yards per rushing attempt, and I

498
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: thought the passing looked pretty good. And people were really

499
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: worried about his deep ball, but Anthony Richardson's deep ball

500
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: connected pretty well last year in the again very limited

501
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: sample size that we had in early drafts. Right now,

502
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson's ADP Scott quarterback six.

503
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of lists with him there fifty.

504
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: Five overall, so he's kind of like the last of

505
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: the sort of proven rushing quarterbacks. What do you think

506
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: Is that about right.

507
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 3: That I like him a little more.

508
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: I have him in my.

509
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 3: Top five with c J. Stroud. So I have a

510
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: question for you. In our home league, would you like

511
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: one of those?

512
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: Yes?

513
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: I would thank you very much because I have both

514
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: of them. I cannot keep both of them.

515
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: Well. You know, obviously Richardson's got way more upside, which

516
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: is how you win. But I love c J. Stroud.

517
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 3: I won the league last year, so my next seven

518
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: years are paid.

519
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: So I just worked that in. How nice of you, God,

520
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: My team was terrible. I am interested in even in

521
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: a one quarterback league. I would give up some asset

522
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: for and in this home and I know you're not

523
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: trading Anthony Richardson.

524
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: In this home league. They do keep quarterbacks too, No,

525
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 3: but I I have Anthony Richardson, just on that pure

526
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 3: upside a little higher we've for me. I feel like

527
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 3: we've seen so many times these top quarterbacks. Some of

528
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: them will drop, some of them won't, but you can

529
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 3: find super steady, good guys late. I'd rather take Richardson

530
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 3: and all that high upside and then back them up

531
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 3: with someone that you know makes me feel safer.

532
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: Agreed. In traditional leagues like not guillotine leagues. You gotta

533
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: play for upside. You need to be the best of

534
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: twelve teams.

535
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 3: Yep.

536
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: And so you know he's this is the kind of

537
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: pick that goes and wins your league.

538
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: Exactly. If you get.

539
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: A Lamar Jackson from four years after season, you know

540
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: you find yourself.

541
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts fifteen touchdown, you exactly winning the Colts.

542
00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: Drafted six foot two at AD and I Mitchell. I

543
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: was saying it wrong earlier. Ad and I Mitchell in

544
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: the second round. He is insanely fast four three four speed.

545
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: And now you've got a guy who can get under

546
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: these long passes thrown by Anthony Richardson the way that

547
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the receivers like Michael Pittman, Josh Downs,

548
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: they were not going to get under those balls. Mitchell.

549
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: Do you see Mitchell's rats, No, No, nine point nine

550
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: to nine's that's very close to the ten, very close

551
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: to the ten. Yes, Yes, amazing speed for a guy

552
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: six foot two. Yeah, so he's going to open things up.

553
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: But I'm not asking for consistency from Mitchell early in

554
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: his career with a young quarterback. He's still raw, needs

555
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: probably needs a season or two only had one really

556
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: productive college season, so I think he's a year away

557
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: from being a consistent contributor.

558
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 3: Yep, that's probably.

559
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of guys with a nine point nine to nine rasts. Yeah,

560
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: Jilannie Woods come back this this, this is gonna be

561
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: the year for Jilannie Woods. Yes, one of these times,

562
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it right. This is gonna be like

563
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: my Zach Moss. One of these years, I'm going to

564
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: get it right. And it's gonna be when everybody's given

565
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: up on John it was.

566
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: You know what's It's not even gonna be a season.

567
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 3: It's gonna be that the giant fantasy playoff run that

568
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 3: we talk about. Yeah, maybe that's gonna gonna be that.

569
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: And then you'll get your You'll get your flowers, your Peacocky.

570
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: Woods returns from a hamstring injury that cost him all

571
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: of these his sophomore season last year. I think he

572
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: remains a great dart throw just on the absurd athleticism

573
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: and and a lot of Titans do sort of figure

574
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: it out in year three, although really missed the whole

575
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: year last year with the hamstring. So does he get

576
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: better or worse for the Colts passing game? Well it

577
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: gets better. Richardson over Gardner Minshew is enough and then

578
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: you add in ad and I Mitchell and it all

579
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: gets better. So now let's go to the running game, Scott. Obviously,

580
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor returns. Current ADP is pick thirteen overall running

581
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: back five. So here he is going at the very

582
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: top of the second round.

583
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's fair. I think we've seen what

584
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: that offense does with Taylor at the end. They just

585
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: give him so much volume, and the curiosity is what's

586
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: going to happen with him and Richardson both on the

587
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 3: field more. Maybe maybe that lowers because Richardson takes so many,

588
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: so many runs he can, but Richardson's.

589
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: Not built for like Tush push style.

590
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 3: Touchdown no no. And Jonathan Taylor is great at the

591
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 3: goal line. He's got to know us for it. Yeah,

592
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: he's he I think five is fine for Jonathan Taylor.

593
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: We love that he's a workhorse. Once he took over

594
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: from Zack Moss, who had a shockingly good season, Taylor

595
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: averaged twenty two carries per game. You just don't get

596
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: that from many backs in the league anymore. Yeah, maybe

597
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: not enough though, being made of Taylor's overall lukewarm season.

598
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: Let me get you a symmetrics. You know, he missed

599
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: the first month of the season and then he killed

600
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: fantasy owners down the stretch. He played in just one

601
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: of five games from week eleven to week fifteen, So

602
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: here you are in your fantasy play right that hurt.

603
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: He hit one hundred yards last year one time, and

604
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: it was Week eighteen. That's it. He was profoabable, I

605
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: know he was. Pro football focus is running back forty

606
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: four overall, that's it. He was thirteenth in yards after contact,

607
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: which we like, twenty third in elusiveness, but overall to

608
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: play for him seemed down a bit. He topped just

609
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: four point two yards per carry, which is nothing in

610
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: just four games last year for Jonathan Taylor, and he

611
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: scored in the final five games of the season, which

612
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean helped his overall stats because he went on

613
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: that long scoring run at the end of the year.

614
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: But many of those games were too little, too late

615
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: in a season where if you had drafted Jonathan Taylor

616
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: and missed that month and then he missed that stretch run,

617
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: you probably weren't in the playoffs any So Zach Bross

618
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: is gone. He went off to Cincinnati. That running back room,

619
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: it's thin. So Evan Hull returns after last year's knee injury,

620
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: and then after a two carry season last year, Trey

621
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: Sermon comes over Philadelphia. We can now call him a journeyman. Right,

622
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: Sermon's just not special.

623
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 3: Scott, He's just a guy.

624
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: So does the offensive line? Oh, I'll mention Colts put

625
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: a third and fourth round pick and the offensive line

626
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: which could help. Does does it get better or worse

627
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis running game this year? I think worse

628
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: because Moss was such a good was such a good backup,

629
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: whether he was starting when Taylor was out or not.

630
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: I think that the drop from Moss to Evan Hull

631
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: makes this a lot worse. All right, let's take a break.

632
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: Well, that volume leads to another injury.

633
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: Which it might, which might? It's fine. Uh, Let's take

634
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: a break and turn our attention to the NFC South

635
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,760

643
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: I was a big canon I was a cannonball guy,

644
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: not a jackknife guy. Uh yeah, it was more of

645
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: can cannonball guy.

646
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

647
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: I think the jackknife is a little harder to pull off.

648
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: And I mean cannonball. It's just, you know, basically tuck

649
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: and jump in a pool. It can't really go wrong

650
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: with it, you can't. All right, let's let's let's talk.

651
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 3: It's the belly flop guys you gotta worry about.

652
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: You know. The belly flop competitions are pretty fascinating to

653
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: see those big fat guys dive into the pool and

654
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: just you can hear it, it's gotta hurt.

655
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: This might be the most off the rails episode we've

656
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: had a long time.

657
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: It probably is. I did not think we'd be talking

658
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: about belly flops.

659
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: I feel like if I bought the show more, that

660
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 3: would be spread out of all your episodes, but instead

661
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 3: it's all in one.

662
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: Do you do if you're in the belly flop competition? Okay,

663
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: how do you train for it? Do you do you

664
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: need to like? Do you do you just eat? Do

665
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: you do you jump in the pool a lot? Is

666
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: there a lot of technique like do you go navel first?

667
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 3: You know?

668
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: Or you going nipples first?

669
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: There is someone listening who knows about this. Yes, would

670
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 3: probably have put it in.

671
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: The discord in the episode. Yes, put it in the

672
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: episode discussion in our discord channel. What are the techniques?

673
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: Do they lather up with something? Do they use oils

674
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: or like a lubricating agent of some kind on the belly?

675
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, I really don't know.

676
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: You do you shave because you don't want the hair?

677
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: Do you shave the chest hair off because you don't

678
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: want the hair to lessen the impact? I don't know,

679
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: belly fly, I really like these are the burning questions.

680
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: Yes that we've got the Fantasy.

681
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 3: Football Week and that's a show this week.

682
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: And on that note, let's be done AFC, sorry, NFC South.

683
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Division champion Tampa Bay.

684
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They actually had one major coaching change.

685
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: They lost Dave Canalis to uh the Carolina Panthers. He

686
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: was obviously the QB coach for Seattle when Gino Smith

687
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 3: one comeback Player of the Year and nearly did it

688
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 3: again with Baker last year, as.

689
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: I'll be talking about him momentarily, Carolina.

690
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I should have saved it for the end,

691
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 3: but that that makes absolutely no sense because they've started

692
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 3: with the passing game, and uh so, I would you know,

693
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: Baker has been what he is for years and then

694
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: he had a really good season last year. I worry

695
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 3: that he'll down Tech without Dave Canalis, but maybe not.

696
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 3: He's got He's got Mike Evans back the contract extent.

697
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 3: They got Chris Godwin. Still, they got Trey Palmer. They

698
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: say they're gonna move Godwin back to the slot, where

699
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: he's been more productive in his career, and he's.

700
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: Then you got then you got Palmer playing out of position.

701
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, Palmer played fifty three percent slot last year, so

702
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 3: he's yeah, a little bit more of a slock guy.

703
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: He's playing out of position. You could start some of

704
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: the other guys, but here are the other guys, Jalen McMillan,

705
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 3: Devin Tompkins, rakeem Jarrett, Ryan Miller, Rally.

706
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: Webb, Raley Webb.

707
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that's like a baseball player from the twenties. Actually,

708
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how that got in there. Cephas, Johnson, Tanner,

709
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 3: Canoe or new Cameron Johnson, La Treo, Drones and scraps Charty.

710
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, scrap char Plucky plucky.

711
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. Yes, those are the

712
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: other wide receivers behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Trey Palmer. So,

713
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: say it falls off just a bit, I'd expect a

714
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 3: lot of two and three person three wide receiver, you know,

715
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 3: situations there. Trey Palmer weirdly enough, if he's moving outside.

716
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 3: Last year outside he had nine catches for twenty plus

717
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 3: yards nine times, nine times. So I wonder if that

718
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 3: they they want to get Godwin more productive in the slot,

719
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: they feel it's better for him, and they saw something

720
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 3: in Palmer that maybe maybe there's something there. Yeah, maybe

721
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 3: there's something there.

722
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was weird that they that they did

723
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: take Godwin out of that role that he had been

724
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: so productive in. Yeah, and it didn't it just didn't

725
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: feel like it was a natural fit. Last year.

726
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Kate Oughten was

727
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 3: tight end twenty. I don't see him getting more targets

728
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 3: in an offense I think is going to be slightly

729
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 3: less and doesn't have depth. May maybe do maybe if

730
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 3: there's an injury, he does. You know, that's that's where

731
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 3: it come in because they don't have any depth either

732
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 3: behind atten or wide receivers. But I think the passing

733
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 3: game takes it a slight tick down the.

734
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: Loss of Canalis and then just Mike Evans being one

735
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: year older, right, I mean the end is coming for Mike. Yeah,

736
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: maybe it's here now and we don't know it. Hopefully

737
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 1: it's a year or two away, but it's coming.

738
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame career, thousand yards every year. Into the

739
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 3: running game, we have Rashad White, who I previously mentioned

740
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 3: was one of the two top ten running backs with

741
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 3: a yards per carry under four in this season. He

742
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 3: was not very efficient, but he did have sixty four

743
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 3: catches scored just enough to make him RB four, kind

744
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 3: of like traves et. If that offense takes a little

745
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 3: bit of a downturn and he doesn't score as much

746
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 3: and he doesn't, well, the catches should probably still be there.

747
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: I think the catches will be there. It's the touchdowns

748
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: or worry on what and.

749
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 3: There's nobody behind him. They drafted a fourth round, uh,

750
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 3: the Bucky Irving fourth round, and then Chase. I was

751
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: gonna say Daniels, but it's Edmunds, Chase Edmonds behind him.

752
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: What happened to the kid with that we love from

753
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: Syracuse last preseason? Uh?

754
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 3: Train Sean Tucker?

755
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 1: Sean Tucker.

756
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's still there. He's still there too. All right,

757
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: He's like fourth on the depth Shart, but he's still there.

758
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: This whole show is just me about stuff I was

759
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: optimistic about happening that didn't happen last year.

760
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's uh. I think the running game also takes

761
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 3: a slight downturn, honestly as far as that goes, because yeah,

762
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 3: if the offense is going down, I think it's uh,

763
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: I think it's uh, you know, rising tide backwards.

764
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Ye, all right, let's go to Carolina.

765
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 3: Uh.

766
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned Dave Canalis comes over. You already mentioned that

767
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: he revived the careers of Gino Smith and Baker Mayfield.

768
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: That's the big addition here. But they also added some

769
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: players of note to the passing game. Deontay Johnson now

770
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: in Carolina, and they drafted second round pick I believe

771
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: was it end of the first They jump into the

772
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: bottom of the first I think for Xavier, like at

773
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: the marble mouthed, I think, yeah, I think they jumped

774
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: into the bottom of the first. Xavior. It's fun to

775
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: hear him talk. I can't understand anything he says. I hope,

776
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm hoping there's not some scenario in the future where

777
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: I'm calling in like to my insurance agency and I've

778
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: got a question. I got to talk to my phone

779
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: representative and it's Xavier, because it's going to be a

780
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: very difficult conversation at that point, because I can't understand

781
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: the guy. Uh Panthers pored first, second, and fourth round

782
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: picks into the offense. I mean they you know, they

783
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: knew the offense was terrible. It's got to get better,

784
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: and it can only get better for Bryce Young. You

785
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: know here you are. You're Bryce Young, controversial pick, is

786
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: the first rookie overall. C J. Stroud is immediately a

787
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: billion times better than you. Your coaching staff gets fired

788
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: at mid season. You're working with interim guys who all

789
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: know that this is the beginning. You know that the

790
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: season is lost. It's just everything was bad for Bryce Young.

791
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: Not enough talent at wide receiver, as well some of

792
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: the dart pick throws that they had had in recent years. Also,

793
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: Tarres Marshall, Jonathan Mingo didn't did, did not help this offense.

794
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: So they trade for Deontay Johnson. A little weird to

795
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: me because stylistically, I think he's got some similarities to

796
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: Adam Thlen with the same number well and that, I mean,

797
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: you know that's gonna be a I want.

798
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: To for it as far as.

799
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, Uh, Johnson and Theland sure handed guys, though,

800
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: that maybe will be something that helps that helps Young

801
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: a little bit.

802
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 3: Here.

803
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: Leaguett brings vertical speed to the table, something Thelan does

804
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: and Johnson do not have. So incredibly thick for incredibly

805
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: thick for a guy who runs a four to three nine

806
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: like Guet is really well built, probably opens the year

807
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: as a starter or at least a situational player in

808
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: this offense. I shot Mingo big time, big time. I

809
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: think Taris Marshall, I think this is it for him

810
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, cut candidate. Mingo probably makes the roster

811
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: only because he was a second round draft pick one

812
00:40:59,360 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: year ago.

813
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 3: Do you know when I realized that Terrence Marshall, Terrace

814
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 3: Terriss Marshall wasn't going to be a thing in the NFL.

815
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 3: I was watching tape on him because I'm like, how

816
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 3: is he not producing? And there was a play they

817
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 3: decided he got open and they passed it away from him.

818
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 3: And before while the pass is in the air, he's complaining, complaining,

819
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 3: he's not going to help block. He's not. It's like,

820
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 3: come on, yeah.

821
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: That's stuff. Your coaches hate that, and they see the tape.

822
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 1: I could regale you with futility stats for Bryce Young. Okay,

823
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: and it is bad, but remember how we threw out

824
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence's rookie year. We said bad coaching staff, bad situation,

825
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: players around him, and we threw it out and we

826
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: just went reboot for next year. I think that's the

827
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: approach to take on Bryce Young. Sure, just let's just

828
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: your race last year. Let's assume this is going to

829
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: be a much and and it really should be a

830
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: much better coaching staff that puts him in a far

831
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: better position to succeed. I will know this. The touchdowns

832
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: are total disaster, but I'll know this. We knew that

833
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: Young was not going to run very much. But to

834
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: be very clear, now we know zero wheels here, so

835
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: he is not going to help you on the ground

836
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: at all. And overall, does the Carolina Pathing Panther's passing

837
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: game get better worse? Well, of course it has to

838
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: get better. Can't get it, can't be worse. Let's go

839
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: to the running game. Jonathan Brooks almost certainly takes over

840
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: as the lead back, but the timetable is complicated because

841
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: he tore his ACL in November, so we don't know

842
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: for sure when that's going to happen. Chuba Hubbard and

843
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders are still there, although I think Miles Sanders

844
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: is a post June one cut candidate. Looking at the

845
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: cap hit at that point, he would not even be

846
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: a cap hit, so there's a chance they cut him.

847
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean, at this time last year we were optimistic

848
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders could be an RB one. Yeah, and he

849
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't even finish the season as the

850
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: starter on his own back, losing it to Chewba Hubbard.

851
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: He wasn't even good. So Hubbard and Sanders probably are

852
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: some combination, are your guys? Until Brooks is ready for

853
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: to hit the field and get a big workload yep October.

854
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. I mean, you know it's Acls,

855
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: you don't You just you don't know for sure. So

856
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: the Brooks then could take some time. I'm in the

857
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: minority with this take. Just looking at brooks college work,

858
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: I just didn't see special NFL level traits. I saw

859
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: a running back who was good at a lot of things.

860
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to find those things that are gonna

861
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: make you special at this level. And I just I

862
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: had a hard time spotting him. Thor likes him, doesn't

863
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: love him. He was just the one year starter of Texas.

864
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: But in fairness, he was behind Bijon Robinson two years ago,

865
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: and they could have John similar to.

866
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 3: So.

867
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: And I'll mention this Carolina is offensive line non awful.

868
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: Last year in run blocking they ranked sixteenth by Pro

869
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: Football Focus. So does it get better worse this year?

870
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: Let's assume Brooks is better than Hubbard and Sanders, which

871
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't take a lot, and eventually this running game gets better.

872
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean for fantasy, it really could have if Brooks,

873
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 3: you know, in the second half of the season, at

874
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: post Thanksgiving whatever is taking the load where there's not

875
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 3: the split that gave them secrets. Sea grades are worse

876
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 3: all year.

877
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: Correct, all right, let's go to the Saints.

878
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 3: The Saints. Yeah, this might be the most boring one,

879
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 3: this one.

880
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: They did have a boring offseason.

881
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 3: So boring.

882
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 2: Uh.

883
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 3: The only coaching changes They hired Clint Kubiak, who we're

884
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 3: familiar with UH Minnesota OC from Minnesota a couple of

885
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 3: years ago. Then he was the Broncos pass game coordinator

886
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 3: than the forty nine Ers pass game coordinator. He's jumping

887
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 3: around job a job. But that's about the only change

888
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 3: in coaching here. They they they're quarterbacks. They they still

889
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 3: have Car, they still have Jake Hayner. They drafted Spencer Rattler,

890
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 3: but he's you know, going to be behind them most

891
00:44:55,719 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 3: likely unless there's some real faltering or or injury or

892
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 3: whatever or cut. Do you think Car's getting cut? I'm

893
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 3: looking at your face.

894
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm just what I'm I'm trying to ask myself. Is

895
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: this is there a scenario around Thanksgiving where the Saints

896
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: are like, a, let's see what three win operation or

897
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: win operations possible.

898
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 3: I feel like they want to see what they happens.

899
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: I feel like it is.

900
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, And that's about all the changes. Then we

901
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 3: get to the running game, where there's Kamara, Jamal Williams,

902
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 3: and Kendra Miller. Still the passing. The wide receivers A Lave,

903
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 3: Shaheed at Perry auditions, auditioned by subtraction by Thomas.

904
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 1: He's out of the league right now.

905
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, let's stay in the passing game here. But

906
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 3: Chris Alave sixteen wide receiver sixteen last year, just he

907
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,479
Speaker 3: really feels like he's on the way up. He looked

908
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 3: like a star. He looked like on that Nico Collins path.

909
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: He looked like on looks like what Drake London might

910
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 3: be too in Atlanta. Yeah, he's wherever he's going. I'm

911
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 3: sure it's worthy in drafts for sixteen. Honestly feels like

912
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: a floor for him this year. Personally, I think that

913
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 3: they're going to be behind. They're gonna have to throw

914
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 3: all the time.

915
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's that is possible. I just feel

916
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: like Derek Carr kind of puts a ceiling on what

917
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: Chris o'lave can do.

918
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there have been some really high passing yardag

919
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 3: years out of car in Oakland, so I wouldn't doubt that.

920
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 3: And the running game is just getting a year older

921
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: and a year older and a year older.

922
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: Kamara fell off the table, the metrically fell off the table,

923
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: like all.

924
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 3: His freak tackles, all that everything gone. That's that's what

925
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I don't see the run game being able

926
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 3: to support them, even unless Kendre Miller takes a huge step.

927
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 3: And you know Jamal Williams, well, he really never was

928
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 3: that guy. He had a good season and half a

929
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 3: season or so of being that guy, but hasn't really

930
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: had it. But in the past game we got Rashid Shahid,

931
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 3: Who's probably gonna benefit from Mike Thomas's thirty nine catches

932
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 3: and forty eight You know I feel about Rashii Rashid yaheedr.

933
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 3: But but oh, first off, Alave was second interceptions in targets,

934
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 3: which I did not realize. I did not realize that either.

935
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 1: All right, we love that volume.

936
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 3: At least I wrote that, Oh no, that's Kamara. Kamara

937
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 3: was second receptions and targets. And what I was like,

938
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 3: it's quite above him. That can't be right right as

939
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 3: I say it. But Rashi Yahed he averaged fifteen to

940
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 3: twenty less targets than the the players around his rank.

941
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: He ranked wide receiver forty four last year, but he

942
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 3: had way more Fantasy points because of how Oh no, yeah,

943
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 3: he had way more Fantasy points because of how efficient

944
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 3: he was, because of all those big balls, the you know,

945
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 3: seven scores or whatever. At Perry twelve catches in eight games.

946
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 3: But those twelve catches went for two and forty six

947
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 3: yards and four touchdowns bombs away. So there there's some

948
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 3: real efficiency out of out of the two guys behind

949
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 3: a lave. So if a lave is getting the volume

950
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 3: those two guys, that's where I was. Those two guys

951
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 3: with their efficiency can still make hay for you and fantasy.

952
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 3: I don't know the data Perry will, but.

953
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: No, I don't think it's very interesting.

954
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 3: I still like he's so productive on twelve twelve catches.

955
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a I'm gonna have a it's a

956
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: painful decision my second round. I have a second round

957
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: pick in a dynasty league. That looks like I'm gonna

958
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: have to drop Shaheed to make that pick. Oh, that's league, right, Empire.

959
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna be tough, tough, tough, Taysom Hill, I mean,

960
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 3: Juwan Johnson and Foster Morrow are above him on the

961
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 3: on the tight end depth chart, but it seems like

962
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 3: it's always Taysom Hill, who is tight end twelve because

963
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 3: of four hundred and one rushing yards and seven combined

964
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 3: rushing TD but.

965
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: The ultimate wildcard to tight end, right, Yeah, you know, yeah,

966
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: one week you get zero fantasy points. The next week

967
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: he runs into.

968
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 3: Almost quite literally, he had six double digit fantasy point

969
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 3: weeks and then a whole bunch of like two and

970
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 3: three point or last weeks. Uh into the running game.

971
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 3: We've kind of already discussed it though, but Kamara was

972
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 3: running back eleven, but we've mentioned how he downturned in everything.

973
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 3: Thirty three percent of his stats came in those two

974
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 3: games where he caught twenty eight.

975
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: Now right, forgot about that.

976
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 3: So when you catch twenty eight pass twenty five passes

977
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 3: on twenty eight targets in two games, yes, you're gonna

978
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 3: you're gonna most of your stats are gonna come basically

979
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 3: in two games.

980
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: Marriage cooked.

981
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 3: As far as the passing game, I think it's gonna

982
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 3: be pretty similar. It's just we're gonna get more numbers

983
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 3: out of players without Mike Thomas there, and the running

984
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 3: game I think takes a downturn.

985
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: Just go to the Falcons. What do you think is

986
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: the bigger off season story the dumping of Arthur Smith

987
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: or the signing of Kirk Cousins.

988
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 3: I think it's the signing of Arthur Smith to another.

989
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: Team, sabotaging the Steelers.

990
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 3: Seed story to be. I think it's oh man, they

991
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 3: are both man that is, I don't even that's a.

992
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,399
Speaker 1: Tough one, isn't it too tough? You new head coach

993
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: in Atlanta's Raheem Morris, You new offensive coordinator Zach Robinson.

994
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Zach Robinson for a second. He's a

995
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: super thin resume, so it's hard to know what kind

996
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: of offense he's going to bring to the Falcons. For

997
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: the last two years he was the Rams passing game

998
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 1: coordinator and quarterbacks coach, so he has not called plays before,

999
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: so we have nothing to go on there. Sean McVay

1000
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: runs a very balanced offense, you know, like middle of

1001
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: the pack run percentage, past percentage, whereas Arthur Smith obviously

1002
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: was run heavy. He ranked fourth last year and run

1003
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: play percentage. So we should see a much more balanced offense,

1004
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: and particularly because you bring in Kirk Cousins, who's way

1005
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: better than Desmond Ritter, so you know, presumably we're going

1006
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: to see a lot more passing in Atlanta. So let's

1007
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: talk about Kirk. I'm not worried about his return from Achilles.

1008
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: He was dancing on it in February. You know, he's

1009
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: looked fine in mini camps and just I know there

1010
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: are a lot of people that are like Achilles. Honest,

1011
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to matter very much. I couldn't,

1012
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe not be proven wrong. But it's

1013
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: not like they needed wheels before he offers with or

1014
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 1: without the Achilles. I mean, you could surgically remove his achilles,

1015
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: and I still think he would be a significant upgrade

1016
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 1: to this passing game considering what they had. And remember,

1017
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: Cousins last year was having the best year of his

1018
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: career pre injury. When he went down, he was leading

1019
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: the NFL in passing yards. He finished touchdowns right or

1020
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: second second in touchdowns. He finished with a seventy percent

1021
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: completion rate. Last year, Cousins was on pace to finish

1022
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: second in touchdown passes. Get this his ADP right now,

1023
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: quarterback seventeen. Yeah, and I realized he doesn't have Justin

1024
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 1: Jefferson anymore. But it's not like they have no weapons

1025
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: to throw to.

1026
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,720
Speaker 3: You made me figure it out. I will keep Anthony

1027
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 3: Richardson and I will draft Kirk Cousins.

1028
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: There you go his previous year's finishes. Kirks, he was

1029
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: quarterback four at the time of his achilles. Year before that,

1030
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: he was quarterback six year before that, quarterback nine year

1031
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: before that, quarterback eleven. Now he's going off the board

1032
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: his quarterback seventeen, Scott yep.

1033
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 3: And he still has good weapons. He still has great weapons,

1034
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 3: and they're gonna finally unlock Kyle Pitts. Some of those

1035
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 3: some of those videos, I know you always see the

1036
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 3: best shape of your life and the amazing catch videos.

1037
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 3: Kirk to Pitts looked really good and.

1038
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: It does look good, right, yeah, I mean there's a

1039
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity here, so Drake, London, Kyle Pitts and

1040
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 1: John of Smith and now in Miami. So that's gonna

1041
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: help keep Pitts on the field. So we like that

1042
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: London going off the board wide receiver fourteen. So it's funny,

1043
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, London's been nowhere near wide receiver fourteen prior

1044
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: to now, but now he's getting drafted as though Kirk's

1045
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: going to be really good, but nobody's drafting Kirk.

1046
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to love when that happens.

1047
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: That people are assuming a massive uptick in Drake London's production.

1048
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: His two years so far in the league, he's had

1049
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: almost exactly nine hundred yards and then he's had a

1050
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: four touchdown season and two touchdown season. For Drake London

1051
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: to get him to make good on wide receiver fourteen,

1052
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's got to get like you know,

1053
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: we need him to get like a fifty percent bump

1054
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: on these numbers. We need him at thirteen hundred receiving

1055
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: yards and you know, eight touchdowns.

1056
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 3: And honestly, that wouldn't that that honestly wouldn't even shock

1057
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 3: me nor what't. But you need that to hit that

1058
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 3: adp yes is the thing that's.

1059
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: So we do need that and kurtly deliver. The team

1060
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: brought in Darnell Mooney, Rondel Moore, and ray Ray McLoud,

1061
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: which is a little bit baffling because they all play

1062
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: the slot and they brought them all in, so I

1063
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: thought that was weird. Mooney as the expected starter out

1064
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: of that group and Moore's gonna probably be the gadget

1065
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: guy for the Falcons. I want to mention this digging

1066
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: up some Zach Robinson research with the Rams. Last year

1067
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: they finished dead last in receptions and receiving yards to

1068
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: running backs.

1069
00:53:58,880 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 3: Oh last year.

1070
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: So does B John Robinson automatically get the big uptick

1071
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 1: with Kirk who did not throw to his running backs

1072
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: in Minnesota either.

1073
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 3: And he's like, oh, he's like the anti Joe Lombardi.

1074
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 3: Who I saw this stat this week. Joe Lombardi now

1075
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 3: with Denver, you'll talk about him next week. With that,

1076
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure his targets to running backs top five ten

1077
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 3: years in a row.

1078
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: Wow.

1079
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, So he's like the anti.

1080
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: I'm struggling with what to do with Julium mouglachlan. But

1081
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: that's a conversation.

1082
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 3: Maybe for now next week.

1083
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: So everybody thinks B John Robinson is going to be

1084
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: way way better. Hopefully he will, but you know you're

1085
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,280
Speaker 1: going to get less total rushes out of this offense,

1086
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,879
Speaker 1: and if Zach Robinson follows the Rams blueprint, you might

1087
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: not get as many receptions for b Jehon Robinson as

1088
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: you think. So let's let's talk this through on the

1089
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: running game, by the way, just a passing game get

1090
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: better obviously, Yes, way way better, way better running game.

1091
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: The only notable change in personnel Cordell Corderyl Patterson is

1092
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: now in Pittsburgh. He follow Arthur.

1093
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 3: Smith makes sense ever since that video of him saying

1094
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 3: he was on his fantasy team.

1095
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Bijon Robinson and Tyler Algier returned

1096
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 1: last year. Robinson was almost a full yard better per

1097
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: carry than Algier and despite the bigger size, Robinson had

1098
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: more yards after contact. Romason is just better yep. But

1099
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,720
Speaker 1: the problem was they were only separated by two carries

1100
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: per game. I mean, Alger was getting almost the same workload,

1101
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: which was very frustrating. Obviously, the assumption is that Bijon's

1102
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 1: going to be a bigger part of the workload under Robinson,

1103
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: but that's just an assumption, and Bijon's ADP right now

1104
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. It's eight.

1105
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I just there's a lot of name attached

1106
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 3: to that. There's a lot of everybody expected a ton

1107
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 3: from him coming in. He was like the clear cut

1108
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 3: number one Dynasty pick and the loss of Arthur Smith.

1109
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 3: Everybody felt like he was misused by a Thurs Smith

1110
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 3: that they feel like this is his true rookie year.

1111
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 3: So I get it.

1112
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: The only way to make good on an ADP at

1113
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: pick eight for Bijon is that he has to score

1114
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: a lot more touchdowns. Yeah, a lot more. He had

1115
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: four rushing touchdowns last year, four receiving touchdowns. So I

1116
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: went and decided to look up what did he do

1117
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: inside the five? Like, you know, can can he have

1118
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: a big uptick on usage inside the five? He's not

1119
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: built like a traditional goal line back. He was given

1120
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: only three carries inside the five last year.

1121
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 3: Three yep, Arthur Smith. I actually commented on that a

1122
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 3: couple times last year that he prefers Algerion. They thought

1123
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 3: he was better inside the five.

1124
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: Now, on the three carries, he did score twice. So

1125
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 1: there's that. But get this, and this is really fascinating.

1126
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith threw to Bjon Robinson five times from inside

1127
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: the three yard line. Okay, he had zero touchdowns and

1128
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: zero receptions. None were even complete.

1129
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 3: I'd like to watch where those balls ended up.

1130
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,959
Speaker 1: Yes, I assume that it's on Desmond Ridder. I'm gonna

1131
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: blame for that. But yeah, they threw to him five

1132
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: times from inside I think I said three before, but

1133
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: it was from inside the five yard line.

1134
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 3: None caught interesting.

1135
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so does a running game get better? I don't

1136
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: know that it does. I think that there's gonna be

1137
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: fewer carries to go around. Algier is still there, and

1138
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, I just I don't know. I'm just I'm

1139
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: not convinced that. I'm not convinced that Bejon Robinson's gonna

1140
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: be materially different from the guy he was last year.

1141
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 3: I production wise, like man, I find it hard to

1142
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 3: believe he's I find it hard to believe the new

1143
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 3: coaching staff is gonna give Algier as much work. I

1144
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,919
Speaker 3: just I just find that hard to believe. I can't

1145
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 3: I can't imagine it. So I feel like the running

1146
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 3: game may be about the same, but the offense is

1147
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 3: gonna be better, so there's more scoring opportunities and it

1148
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 3: might be more condensed. To Beijon's side, I think I'd

1149
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 3: lean better on that personally. But I get it. You've

1150
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 3: you've pointed out the angles.

1151
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: Okay, well there you go. A FC South NFC South

1152
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: in the books. Yes, uh, these get to be long podcasts.

1153
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one is. I talk way too much. I

1154
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 3: interrupt too much stuff that doesn't.

1155
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: Matter, like greasing your stomach for belly flops. Yes, yeah,

1156
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: that that's that's not me.

1157
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 3: See now you're rude that you should have edited the show, Scott,

1158
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 3: I have to go grease up our bellies. Still, we'll talk.

1159
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: To you, shave each other's chests and grease up our bellies.
