21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: I just turned. Isn't that what you have been saying? No,

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: I said, there's zero percent chance I make it to

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Like that's where I feel. I feel as if you

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: were about to say sixty and then realized that was

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: really close to Wait a minute, Well, I'm not sure

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: because I've said obviously like people have been like, hey, you're,

27
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, welcome to the half or quarter of a

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: century club, And I'm like, yeah, well, I'm definitely not

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: making it do a hundred. That's zero percent damage I've

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: done to my body and my youth. So but I mean,

31
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: I feel like fifties pretty well attainable. I've rere rebooted

32
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: my my health in many ways. It's not so much

33
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: that do you do does Matt Amid want to want

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: to get to fifty? James? Now we're going to really

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: go down into the fielding because I start a lot

36
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: of a lot of parts about being fifty or unappealing.

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I'm twenty. I'm twenty five, which is

38
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: basically twenty seven, which is basically thirty, which is basically dead,

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: So r I p me. There you go, there you go.

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: But thanks for the birthday. Anybody that's like over thirty

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: that's sending in this podcast right now, it's like baby yeah,

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: yeahs are like brother. Come on, man, we're gonna do

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: the entire preview for the NFC South. We're talking Panthers,

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: we're talking Saints, we're talking Buckos and how about them

45
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: Falcons as well. But first, let's start with the top headlines,

46
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: the camera highlights in the world of sports. Breaking breaking news.

47
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Likely continue to follow breaking news, action news, kids, your wife.

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's start in Miami. J G I sidelined

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: with a bone bruise. I think it's on his left knee.

50
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: I think he has problems with his right knee. So

51
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: it's the knee opposite of where he has some serious

52
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: medical concerns. So that is fine. That said, he should

53
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: be out. I don't know, probably like three or four

54
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: days he could be out. Maybe a week should be fine.

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Aryan Foster now running with the

56
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: wands um and he's been doing so. And here's the thing,

57
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: Man Adam Gaze has been nothing but glowing about Aryan Foster.

58
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: He annihilated his conditioning. It's like he's turned back time.

59
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: And uh, it's really interesting because they were talking about

60
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: on the Around the NFL podcast listening to This Morning,

61
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: West made the good point that Arian fostereen tape was sublime.

62
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: He was fantastic as greatest could be, the back that

63
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: we always remembered last year he was dogged by injuries.

64
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: What did he have like two point six yards per carry?

65
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Really only did his fantasy damage through the air. But

66
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: he's an elite running back. We know that if he's healthy.

67
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: So if these rumors are to be believed, he could

68
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: very well be jumping for the starting job in Miami.

69
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Can we just have an IF podcast? When when we

70
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: just do it like a if? You know? What are

71
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: you talking about? Isn't that like everything that we do?

72
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: You're probably right? You're probably right. Is a DPS already jumped?

73
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: A gis on Fantasy has as of I just tweeted morning,

74
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: so a Foster is now a like, uh late sixth

75
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: round pick and a gy is like people didn't calm down,

76
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean did seventh round? I go back to what

77
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: jel Hart said, he is absolutely right when Arian Foster

78
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: is healthy and on the field. The dude is amazing. Yeah,

79
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: but only only twice in his career has he actually

80
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: played sixteen games. In fact, the last three seasons. Last

81
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: year was four, year before was thirteen, which was like

82
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: a high water mark for him, and then the year

83
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: before that was eight. It's really hard, and I know

84
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: I do. We always talk about injuries. You can never

85
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: predict him, and the guy is is, you know, injury

86
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: prone until he's not. But man, at some point, it's

87
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: it's just hard to ignore. He's gonna break down at

88
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: some point. He's getting older, he's got all these injuries

89
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: piled up. It's inevitable he's gonna get hurt at some point.

90
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: So this is the quote from Adam Gates to the

91
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Miami Herald. Foster is going to be working with the

92
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: ones the whole training camp. His resume speaks for itself.

93
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question why we brought him

94
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: in here. Yeah, I mean, I don't see why he

95
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't be working with the ones. Well, I mean when

96
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: he says they're gonna be he's gonna be working with

97
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: the ones the whole training camp. Does that mean a

98
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: GI is not getting any any reps? With the Ones.

99
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's not getting any first team reps,

100
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: he's not, I don't know if he's useful at all,

101
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. So, um, you know, I think Franchise,

102
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: you bring up a great point. Just because Arian Foster

103
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: is going to be getting work with the Ones doesn't

104
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: mean that JAGI is not going to be getting work

105
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: with the Ones. But at the very at least, you know, listen,

106
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: there's not a pecking order here, right. It's not like, oh, hey,

107
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: j G I E is our guy and then Foster's

108
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna work in behind him. No. I think Adam gas

109
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Is spelled it out very clearly that at the at

110
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: best for j G I, it's a committee at best. Uh,

111
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: at worst, it's Foster's backfield. And keep in mind, it's

112
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: not like Adam gas is any kind of you know,

113
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: connection with a Giant. It's not like he drafted. He

114
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: just walked into this situation and jj I just happened

115
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: to be there. So, Franchise, what were those ADPs again

116
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: that you said on per count Fantasy Football Calculator that

117
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: Fosters like uh uh late seventh round now late sixth round? Actually,

118
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: and a GI is down into the to the eighth.

119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: So I'll ask you guys this question, who would you

120
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: rather have Foster late six the eighth neither at those?

121
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: I would probably, I mean I would go for a GI.

122
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: You wouldn't take a GI in the eighth. Yeah, but

123
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: this was coming out not But it's a question do

124
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: you believe this is real or do you believe this

125
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: is a smoke screen. I think part of me feels

126
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: like this is them trying to get Arian Foster up

127
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: to speed as quickly as possible. Let's let him work

128
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: with the ones, Let's let him get some reps so

129
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: he can get comfortable. But I don't I'm not yet

130
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: buying that this means Arian Foster has passed JGI on

131
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: the depth chart. Again, I I agree with you, I don't.

132
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that Foster is necessarily the guy. But

133
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: it's a I think it's gonna be a committee because,

134
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: first of all, I mean, let's be real here, Arian

135
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: Foster coming off that Achilles. They need to protect him.

136
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: A look, it's not like he could go get thirty

137
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: carries a game. It's just not I don't think that's reasonable.

138
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: But a committee, you're telling me a full blown committee,

139
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: you want to take Arian Foster in the six or

140
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: j G I in the eighth. I think, just like

141
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: in a vacuum, I probably looking at the Dolphins from

142
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: like a team perspective, I probably prefer Foster if he's

143
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: going to be because I think the one thing we

144
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: know for sure is he will be the clear passing

145
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: down back, no question about it. And I don't think

146
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are going to be all that good. I

147
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: think they their defense is not set up very well

148
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: right now, especially in secondary, so teams will be throwing

149
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: on them, which means they'll have to be throwing back. Um.

150
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Even though Gaye has been, you know, a little more

151
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: run heavy than I think people know. I would still

152
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: probably prefer to have the passing down back in this situation,

153
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: but neither one of their prices are very appealing now.

154
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: The one thing to remember, too, is that we haven't

155
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: talked about with Foster as we We've mentioned how how

156
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: great he is when he's healthy and stuff, but there

157
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: has been a clear sign of him had taken a

158
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: bit of a step back over the last few years.

159
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: From two thousand ten to two thousand twelve, he scored

160
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: over a touchdown a game he scored forty seven touchdowns

161
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,479
Speaker 1: and forty five games, and from he's scored eighteen touchdowns

162
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: in twenty five games, so he has he has slowed

163
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: down a little bit. He's not quite that same elite

164
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: back But I'm I'm with Harmon. If I'm gonna take

165
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: one piece of this backfield, that probably rather have the

166
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: guy that's going to get the passing down work and

167
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: thus the the safer weekly floor. Well, I'm the guy

168
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: in the the This is fine memes sitting in a

169
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: burning room right now, Giant, all right, there you go.

170
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: We'll go to Buffalo Ian rapport reporting uh this, he tweeted.

171
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: The sound Bill staff is outspoken on how hard Leshawn

172
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: McCoy worked in the off season. One coach told me

173
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: he looks five years younger. They expect a huge year.

174
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: This is kind of in conjunction with him coming into

175
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: camp the quote unquote the lightest he's ever been, which

176
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: I think is like three pounds less than what he

177
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: is listed as so uh kind of take a lighter

178
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: Uh it did happen? Do you look at the numbers

179
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: on the scale, James Um? I did not personally, but

180
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: apparently they did. They said he's coming in lighter, um,

181
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: the lightest he's ever been in his entire career. What

182
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: are we making the news? I am sneakily kind of

183
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: getting excited about Leshawn McCoy, especially as an r B two.

184
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can I can quite get

185
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: down with him as my my number one running back,

186
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: but man as an RV two in an offense that

187
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: is going to run the ball. I mean, the Bills

188
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: ran it the second most times if anybody in the

189
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: league last year. And I know they split it up

190
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: because McCoy was hurt and we saw Carlos Williams and

191
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: what have you. But um, they're not going to change

192
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. They're not gonna just suddenly start

193
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: slinging it all over the yard, even with Tyrod Taylor

194
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: and and Sammy Watkins. So I'm quietly starting to be

195
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: excited about this. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy. I

196
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: can't think of, like, since I'm trying to, you know,

197
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: embrace like anti fragility with my teams and all that,

198
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: and like you know, draft more wide receivers and running backs.

199
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: I just can't think of a more like fragile asset

200
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: than Lashawn McCoy. You know, yeah, but I mean like,

201
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: I mean like actually, uh, you know we know that. Yeah,

202
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: when on the when he's on the field, he's gonna

203
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: absorb a ton of touches and he's going to do

204
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: probably very well with them. He didn't show a lot

205
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: of signs as declining as an individual player last four

206
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry. Yeah, very I think he's

207
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: still very good. But you know that that cliff could

208
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: be coming at any time now too. And we've already

209
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: seen some you know, Nick's show up from last year.

210
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know. He's just never a guy that's

211
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna fit into my plans. But I probably I'm not

212
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: balking at somebody that's drafting him. It's still only twenty eight.

213
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: For the record, they're barely twenty eight. He's been in

214
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: the league for a long time. He's got what a

215
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: couple of thousand touches almost, Yeah, I think if you can't, yeah, yeah,

216
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: he's just shy of two thousand. He's at nineteen hundred

217
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: nineties ninety six total touches for his career. He just

218
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: turned just turned twenty eight, so you know, he's he's

219
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: in his age season. I mean but you're right, the

220
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: workload is definitely concerning, But I don't know a lot

221
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: of the perpheral numbers, as Matt mentioned, are there, Like,

222
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: you know, four point four yards per carry, it was

223
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: actually better than his previous season in Philadelphia. Um, and

224
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: then you look at receiving numbers, two thirty two catches

225
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: for two d two yards a nine point one average.

226
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's the second highest average he's had in

227
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: his career. Uh, next to his campaign where he was sublime. So, uh,

228
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: the numbers don't tell you that there's been much of

229
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: a decline. And then the fragile part two, it's like,

230
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: you know, I get it because he's had such a

231
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: huge workload. He missed four games last season and then

232
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: he but that was coming off of back to back

233
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: seasons where he didn't miss a game and he missed

234
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: four games in and really, he hasn't been a guy

235
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: that has missed a ton of games in his career.

236
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: So it's I feel like Lashawn McCoy is getting that

237
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: Frank Gore treatment almost where everyone's kind of expecting him

238
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: to get break down and get hurt, and hey, he's

239
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: got that huge workload and he's kind of sort of

240
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: been putting up the numbers though. Yeah, I don't know.

241
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not I think we're all confused that

242
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: that coaches compared to somebody to Frank Gore in a

243
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: positive light, Well, I think he means, you know, Frank

244
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: Gore from about five years ago. That's right. You don't

245
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: know in my narrative that's positive about Frank on this podcast.

246
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: It's very true. It's very true. Um alright. So, I

247
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: mean I guess at his current price, what's he going

248
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: in the late second round, third or round. I feel

249
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: like he's been for years. He's been like a boarder

250
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: round borderline first round pick. And he doesn't get that

251
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: love as one of the elite fantasy backs because of

252
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: his fragility. But I'll take him in the second round. Sure. Yeah,

253
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, I haven't been too high on Leshaun

254
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: McCoy this offseason. Um, I'm gonna be honest with you.

255
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: I saw that his birthdays the same day's mind, so

256
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: he gets a big book bump in the ratings. That

257
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: just that's just good sense. I can't can't can't fight

258
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: that long. That's science, that is science. So uh yeah,

259
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: I like him this year. Great Reggie Bush speaking of

260
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: the Bills, Right, Reggie Bush signed a one year deal

261
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: with the Bills. Yes, uh, well, we just got a

262
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: note that he's there, although it seems like Rex Ryan

263
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: kinda wants to use him more as a returner, but

264
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: he's depth returner. He's somebody to be aware. When was

265
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: the last time he was he When was he a

266
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: primary kick return Like how did he back in New Orleans? Right? Yeah? Man,

267
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: his like rookie year. After that he did some punt

268
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: returns for Miami. I think actually, maybe he returned some

269
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: kicks for the fourty niners last year, like when he

270
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: got hurt. Yeah, I think actually when he ran into

271
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: that wall at that. But he's just somebody to be

272
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: aware of in that because the Bills had such a

273
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: crowded backfield behind McCoy. But now with the all the

274
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: suspensions and other off field issues and things like that,

275
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: it's become a big question mark. So it's really just

276
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: worth noting that he is there and them signing Bush.

277
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there's been a lot of steam behind Carlos

278
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: Williams perhaps getting cut. This might be another indication of

279
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: that happening. Or or is he or is this is

280
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: this the way to lot of fire under Carlos Williams,

281
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: and get him on that elliptical machine a little bit more.

282
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: Get him on make sure he drops that. Make sure

283
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: he dropped that baby weight and the not suspension train.

284
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: For the record, he had um two punt returns in

285
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco last year for nine yards there and before

286
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: that his last returns were in in Miami, Okay. Former

287
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson now with San Diego

288
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: towards meniscus. That report, according to Mike Silver of a

289
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Film Media, Um, it sounds like he's going to miss

290
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: the year. I mean, I think they're still determining doing

291
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: those tests. Blah blah blah blah blah. It's I mean,

292
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: look you towards meniscus. He's this close to the season start.

293
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: He's either done or just about done well from the

294
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: entire from what I was learning from I think some

295
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: people that have medical degrees on Twitter, and I thought

296
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: I remember this too, is there are two ways his

297
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: procedure can go well. One they can just like straight

298
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: remove the meniscus and then he's back in a couple

299
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: of weeks. Oh that sounds awful. Yes, it seemed weird.

300
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: The other one is that they repair it and then

301
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: it's you know, a couple couple of several months return time.

302
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: Why either way? I think, now hold on, I don't

303
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: understand like you you just take the meniscus out like

304
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: and if that's the case, why do we have it

305
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: and why is it to be? Why would anyone repair them?

306
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: And why do we have appendix is now obviously take

307
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: this all with grants out. We are not uh doctors here,

308
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: speak for yourself yourself. It's called a menace sect to me,

309
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: and it sounds about waiting for the Internet to pull

310
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: it up. Somebody stall while I skimmed through this to

311
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: see what it is before, I mean, before you can

312
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: get to like best case scenario, he's going on I

313
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: R boomerang right, like cross case scenario. Okay, and what

314
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: does that mean? So so basically six weeks and weeks

315
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: right weeks could be um? I mean, you know, look,

316
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't think folks were taking him any even when

317
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: he was healthy. It's not like he was. I took

318
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: him in our last mock drafty, So what did you

319
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: take him that I took him? Like the like my

320
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: last round and round I mean, this more just sucks.

321
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: Like I just literally a couple of days before this happened,

322
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: I wrote the piece that the Charges were a top

323
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: five wide receiver corps and the big part about it

324
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: was Stevie Johnson. I think, I still think has great

325
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: ability as like a slot receiver, and that might not

326
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: be a big deal for fantasy, but the fantasy impact

327
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: is now because I think he was going to soak

328
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: up a pretty decent amount of targets as the slot

329
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: receiver just with the way they play offense. Now it's

330
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: going to go to other guys. I think Gates, more Gates,

331
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: I think Keenan Allen pushing a hundred Naty targets is

332
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: even more likely now at this point, Um, Travis Benjamin

333
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: is a really appealing pick uh to me, he was

334
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 1: before this, but now even more so. I really like him.

335
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: I think I think Dan I think Danny Woodhead is

336
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: going to eat some of these two though. He can go,

337
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: He can go line up in the slot, and I

338
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: think he and Gates are going to see the biggest uptick,

339
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: but Allen and Benjamin will get a bump as well.

340
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't like I mean, obviously, right after he went

341
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: down the Tyrrell Williams hype was was popping out of

342
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: camp and people are jumping in on Twitter like what

343
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: about him? No, he caught an ad R touchdown in

344
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: weeks seventeen, Like let's let's let's pump the brakes on

345
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: him before we assume he's going to jump in and

346
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: have any sort of fantasy relevant workload. But he is

347
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: a name to watch. Well, yeah, he's a he's a

348
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: very athletic guy. You know, he's six four over two

349
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: hundred pounds ripped off of four four two and thirty

350
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: nine and a half inch vertical. It is pro day

351
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: out of Western Oregon. He was productive there. So yeah,

352
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: he's definitely somebody to monitor in the preseason, right, and

353
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: so update on the metasect to me, it actually does

354
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: say torn parts of the meniscus and our damna ledge

355
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: damaged cartilage on the bone surfaces are carefully removed to

356
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: special instruments. The end result, blah blah blahs, a nee

357
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: line of smooth and stable tissues rather than rough, torn

358
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: and unstable edges. The surgery time for that procedure is

359
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: only about thirty minutes, so also part a lot why

360
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: the recovery time is quicker than if everything is repaired instead. Okay, alright, alright,

361
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what that all means. Dr Yeah wait,

362
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: I just was clearing it out. We have like a

363
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: fine print do not try this at home. Also, what

364
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: it doesn't tell you there is whether or not you

365
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: can actually do anything athletic after that. But that's okay,

366
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: we'll figure that out. Zach Miller, John Brown. They're both

367
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: in concussion protocols respect for their respective teams. Um not

368
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: much to make of it, especially this early in the

369
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: training camp. Am I wrong? Am I right? I think

370
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: you're right. Okay, there we go. We move on. Sam

371
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: Samy Coats having an amazing summer. He is pushing Marcus

372
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Wheaton for that number two job, that number two job

373
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: right now in Pittsburgh, highly coveted for fantasy purposes, and

374
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: just a gigantic question mark right now? Okay, can I

375
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: just state this, Yes, if Marcus Wheaton does doesn't win

376
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: the number two jobs this year, like, we're done with him, right,

377
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: I think I'm done with him? Breach. I mean, because

378
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: like I feel like, but I feel like this is

379
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: this is it, this is the last chance for him,

380
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: This is this is the time. Because you know, a

381
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, we thought it was gonna be him,

382
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: and then Martevis Bryant pops up and just destroys and

383
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Marcus Wheaton goes to the bench. Now no Martevios this year.

384
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: The doors open for Marcus Wheaton to take this gig.

385
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: If Sammy Coates surpasses him and ends up becoming the

386
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: number two, it's done. He goes to the Kristen Michael

387
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: dust Bin right like, that's that's just what happened. Truth

388
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: is out there. Um, I was writing spoiler alert. I'm

389

418
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: Danger Zone League with myself and Adam Rank. I'm making

419
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: an executive decision here. I haven't talked to anybody about it.

420
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: We're making the danger Zone League, I believe, a sixteen

421
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: team league because people need to draft danger zone players'

422
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: and that's that's good news for everybody that wants to

423
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: get into the league. That's because it expands the pool

424
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: of entrance from thirty to what thirty four then because

425
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: you guys are you're adding uh yeah, sixteen, yes, fourteen,

426
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: So thirty four people are going to get to play

427
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: with us schmucks this year in fans like, I feel

428
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: like we're just handing out golden tickets around you get

429
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: a golden were we are really walking this thing. I

430
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: like it. Uh yeah, So I mean yeah, so I'm

431
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. So what I was saying before

432
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: I was interrupted for five minutes his birthday. He just

433
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: thinks he can you know, the diva is turned up

434
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: to anyways now. But so I was like, I told

435
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: you I tune about this yesterday. Like looking at Marcus

436
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: Wheaton's game logs from last year, that's given me like

437
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: a headache because you know, he did get a shot

438
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: to be the number two receiver earlier in the year

439
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: before Martavis Bryant came back in Week six, when he

440
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: was suspended and then mysteriously hurt for Week five. Wheaton

441
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: averaged one point eight receptions and four point five six

442
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: yards per game in the first five games, thought Bryant,

443
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: and thirty one point six percent of his yard is

444
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: came on like a flukey long touchdown from Michael Vick

445
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: against the Chargers in Week five, which was his only

446
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: catch of the game. So he really, you know, kind

447
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: of threw up all over himself with that opportunity. The

448
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: number two of course, down the stretch, like when he

449
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: was facing number three cornerbacks, he had a really nice

450
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: run where he was. He caught a bunch of touchdowns.

451
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: He caught four in the last I think six games.

452
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: Cannot forget that Seattle game. That's Seattle game where he

453
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: went berserk. But other than that, he never crossed seventy

454
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: yards in that stretch. He was just he had a

455
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: lot of touchdowns. To me, like, I'm completely kind of

456
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: just out on Marcus Wheaton even at it like a

457
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: ninth round price where he goes right now, I'm fine

458
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: with that. But bringing that back to Sammy Coates man

459
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: like writing the report for him. Everything out of Steelers

460
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: camp has been very positive. They said, he's in great shape.

461
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: He's got a chance to push Wheaton, like we said,

462
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: so as long as Coats stays affordable, and he's a

463
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: thirteen round pick right now, even though I was not

464
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: a big fan of him coming out of UM, coming

465
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: out of Auburn, I'm in on that. On that price tag, well,

466
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: you're just talking him up. Has moved his a d

467
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: p up. I think this is one of those cases where,

468
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes in fantasy we we look too much

469
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: at whether a player is good or not or has

470
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: all the traits and stuff, but we which I don't

471
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: like to, I never try and ignore that. But this

472
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: is a case where Sandy Coats, regardless of that, could

473
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: come into very good opportunity. And at that thirteenth round

474
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: price tag, that feels about right to take a shot

475
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: on him. If he cashes in on those opportunities, even

476
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: as long as he stays in double digits, I'm fine.

477
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. By the way, are we are

478
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: we overstating the whole thing? Anyways? This whole you know,

479
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: like the second wide receiver for for Pittsburgh, because I mean, listen,

480
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna run eleven personnel a lot, uh there's gonna

481
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: be a lot of three wide receiver sets out there,

482
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: Isn't Isn't it very reasonable to expect that we're gonna

483
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: see Antonio Brown and Sandy Coats and Marcus Wheaton out there,

484
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: probably um and Darius Heyward Bay could be I mean,

485
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: you know that's that that could happen. They just made

486
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: my stomach, It could happen. I think the reason we

487
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: might be overstating it is that, like I think also

488
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: people see like another big athletic receiver in Sammy Coates. Well,

489
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: he and Martavios Bryant must be the same player. But

490
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty wretched comparison, to be honest

491
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: with you, because I think what makes Bryant so great

492
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: is actually where Coats as the weak is as a player.

493
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: But that's beside the point. Like, also, this offense just

494
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: might not be that good like as it as it

495
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: as it was with Briant and Bell in there. You know,

496
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: this might not be a situation where this number two

497
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: positions all that covided. Yeah, I would agree with that.

498
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Hey, let's talk about the

499
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: NFC South. We're gonna talk Panthers Saints, Buccaneers and Falcons.

500
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: Will start with the Panthers. Cam Newton was an absolute

501
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: beast last year and probably the m v P not

502
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: just in terms of of the actual football, but how

503
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: about fantasy football too. There's a strong case to be

504
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: made because there was a lot of handwringing going into

505
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: last season with with Cam Newton considering all of his

506
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: weapons that went down blah blah blah blah blah. But he,

507
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he was una believable. Does he get there again?

508
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: I look, I hate saying when a guy has just

509
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: an unbelievable, sublime season, can I get to that level again?

510
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: I think we are all in agreement that he probably

511
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: will not get to quite those heights. But is he

512
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: a legit? Can he be the guy in terms of

513
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: being the best fantasy quarterback in the game? I mean

514
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: why not? I mean, I just I think everybody looks

515
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: at the number he posted last year fantasy wise, and

516
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: what accounted for forty five total touchdowns and things. I mean,

517
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: that is a huge number. That's ridiculously big number when

518
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: you talking about his passing yards and his rushing yards

519
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: and everything he does. So yeah, the the logical side

520
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: of you says, Man, it's hard to do that a

521
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: second year in a row. But I mean, the thing

522
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: we've seen with Cam from the moment he stepped in

523
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: this league is that he has been a top five

524
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: Fantasy quarterbacks. So it is not implausible to think that, yeah,

525
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: he could do this again completely. How about Calvin Benjamin

526
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: he comes back from that injury We talked about a

527
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: lot of the handwringing part of it was that Calvin

528
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: Benjamin went down in the preseason, UM with that knee injury.

529
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: Where where do you take Calvin Benjamin? I feel like

530
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: he's kind of a forgotten guy right now. See I

531
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: disagree with that because he's like right back to being

532
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: a third to fifth round pick, like almost right where

533
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: he was going last year. Um, and that's a take

534
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: him in the third or fourth that's a that's a

535
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: that's a big price tag. That is a big price

536
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: tag to pay. And I could, honestly there, I could

537
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: sit here and probably talk for the entire podcast about

538
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin versus Devin Funches and how it all relates

539
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: to each other, and but I will spare the audience

540
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: that thankfully. Um. The question with Benjamin is is he

541
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: going to see a hundred and forties plus targets again

542
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: like he did as a rookie. I don't know that

543
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: he necessarily will, but I think he will dominate the

544
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: target share. And also think you hear a lot of

545
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: people talk about Benjamin and how inefficient he was with

546
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: those forty plus targets as a rookie. But I think

547
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: we also have to remember, you knoween Cam Newton was

548
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: not as good as Cam Newton, and I don't think

549
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: the primary reason for that was that Kelvin Benjamin was

550
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: not there. I think he was hurt in tween that

551
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: Cam Newton was, and he also was just he took

552
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: a big step as an individual last year. So I

553
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: think Benjamin is a fine guy to have, but I

554
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: think he's another player we talk. I talk a lot

555
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: about insulating Josh Gordon. I think you have to insulate

556
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin too. I don't want him to be my

557
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver too, but if he's my wide receiver three

558
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: in wide receiver heavy early approach, then I like him.

559
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: I guess my question is where, So where are you

560
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: comfortable taking somebody like Kelvin Benjamin. I mean, I think

561
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: it's just like I said it all relates to what

562
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: I've done before. Like if I've taken two running backs

563
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: and then he's there in the fifth round, is like

564
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: my wide receiver one or two. But definitely the third

565
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: fourth round price tag too rich. Yeah, I like him

566
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: more in best ball leagues. And that's like an easy

567
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: cop out to say, but like in a best ball league,

568
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: I like that because I think he's still going to

569
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: have big weeks. I mean, we're talking about a guy

570
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: who has as a rookie had a thousand yards and

571
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns. I mean, you wouldn't pay like a fourth

572
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: round prize for that guy, definitely, I mean you wouldn't.

573
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: You wouldn't pay a fourth round price for that guy. Look,

574
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: he he he did that. His he did that one

575
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: year he was a rookie. I gets. I love the um.

576
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: Mike Evans had one good year, then he had a

577
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: kind of suspect the year. But now everybody's all in

578
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: on Mike Evans. I mean I don't I don't understand

579
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: what Mike Evans isn't coming back off of an a

580
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: c L. But Cam Newton is a better quarterback than

581
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: anything than than Jameis Winston. Yeah, but I thought that

582
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: he's better than he was Benjaman. Benjamin also came into

583
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: the league as an older prospect. He's he's twenty five

584
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: now too, and that is so that is ancient, um,

585
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, but it's so just like he came into

586
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: the league as an older prospect, so you have to

587
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: wonder if he's kind of already you know, washed the years,

588
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: not washed, I mean, like he was near his ceiling

589
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: as an individual player as a rookie UM. And also

590
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: like he did have major ups and downs, and he's

591
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: just his individual play though he's he's better than like

592
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: his detractors give him credit for. I'm not trying to

593
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: like I am. I somehow became like a Kelvin Benjamin defender,

594
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: because there's some people on Fantasy Twitter hate Kelvin Benjamin.

595
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: But I just think it's important to contextualize his rookie year.

596
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: Like he did accumulated a lot of numbers in garbage time,

597
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: and that's an important thing to remember too. And the

598
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: Panthers are just a much different and better team than

599
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: when he was absorbing all those targets as a rookie. Right.

600
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: The thing with the Mike Evans comparison to he's a

601
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: guy who's who's that offense. The targets are a little

602
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: more like concentrated, especially going to him. Like even in

603
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: his quote unquote off year last year, He's still had

604
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: like a hundred forty targets, which is huge, which could

605
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: that number could easily go up because Vincent Jackson's older

606
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: and like Charles Sims might be the best, second best

607
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: passketcher in that offense. But Harmon just made a face

608
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: to Marcus tweets like Marcus like once a podcast tweets

609
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: something I say completely breaking. Matt Harmon mayor may not

610
00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: have called Calvin Benjamin washed. Stay tuned for podcasts more details. Anyway,

611
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to promote the podcast, so I got

612
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: die on this hill. By the point is why why

613
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm not quite in on that price tag with Benjamin

614
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: is because I think, as we've said, Cam's progressed as

615
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: a pastor, this is a different offense. They're gonna be

616
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: leading a lot more of games. They're gonna be focused

617
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: on the run, They've got a great defense. His targets

618
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: that come down, He'll still be an effective red zone

619
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: threat and stuff. But this is also an offense that

620
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: still has ted gain who we can't forget about he

621
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: could have he also have some touchdowns, uh Olsen. Greig

622
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: Olsen's gonna have some touchdowns as his Ben, as is Benjamin.

623
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: So I just think that that thousand and nine is

624
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: probably like his ceiling again for this year. And I

625
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: don't want to invest that heavily in it in a

626
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: round where I could get somebody like a Randall cob

627
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: or you know whoever, Jeremy Macklin or whoever, except I

628
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 1: don't think Radell is gonna hang around that long. I mean,

629
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna start moving up, but like right now,

630
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: in that third and fourth round, that's where he is.

631
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm just confused where what to project for Calvin Benjamin

632
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: because again we only saw one year. He's coming off

633
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: that knee injury. Um, Cam Newton is a giant wild

634
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: card in terms of where's he gonna go with the ball.

635
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: I have no idea, UM, And it's just hard for

636
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: when when there's that much volatility, I just tend to

637
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: stay away with the first five picks. So, UM, now

638
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: here's that I get it. I mean, let me back

639
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: this up by saying I don't I'm not in love

640
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: with Calvin Benjamin. Buy any stretch. But I just I

641
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: just don't know how we suddenly discount him and say

642
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: he can't be a fourth round guy when you look

643
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 1: at what he did in the pass, when you look

644
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: at the offense that he's in, you look at the

645
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: opportunity that could be in front of him this year. Yeah,

646
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: that much is true. I just, like I said, the

647
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: volatility for me scares me off. That's all, At least

648
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: that early in the draft. Last year the Panthers, no

649
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver had fifty over fifty receptions for the Panthers.

650
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: Ted Gain led the team with forty four receptions. Beautiful.

651
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: No wide receiver on the Panthers no wide receiver t

652
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: get ten touchdowns right ten touchdowns the wide receiver ten

653
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: of his forty four catches were touchdowns. Apparently, that is amazing.

654
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: And no wide receiver had over eight hundred receiving yards

655
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: for the Panthers last season. Again, led all Panthers whiteouts

656
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: was seven hundred thirty nine receiving yards. So what does

657
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: the room feel about Devin Funchius. No, I don't know, really,

658
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I'm not No, I'm not in

659
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: his cats horror, But you're in the other room. I'm

660
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm just a man. I'm like, I'm like, I'm a no.

661
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm an absolute no. I'm like maybe on a flyer

662
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: in the last note round or something. See, he's in

663
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: like similar with Sammy coach where I don't think he's

664
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: all that good, but I don't know that I care

665
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: all that much because he really they really like him

666
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: as not as like a clear number two receiver, but

667
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: as a guy that they can move around the formation

668
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: and do a lot of unique things with um And

669
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: I do trust that wide receiver coaching aff like they

670
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: got a hell of a lot out of Benjamin really

671
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: early when he was had a lot of questions. You've

672
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: mentioned that the how we can't ignore the drumbeats sometimes

673
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: coming out of camp in the organization, and the Devin

674
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: Funchius drumbeat is probably even stronger than Jalen Strong is

675
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: coming out of Houston. Yeah, Like, I'll completely twitter slap

676
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: the people that fit like we'll we'll argue with me

677
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: that we'll Devin Funches is better than Calvin Benjamin and

678
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: he already and those people are ridiculous. So if you're listening,

679
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: you're you're being ridiculous. But as like a tenth to

680
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: fifteenth round pick. I'm okay with Bunchets because I think

681
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: he could push a hundred targets if everything breaks right

682
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: this year. I think I think the one the one

683
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: thing I'm worried about. Right, so we we've got I

684
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: think Calvin Benjamin does a lot of what Devin Funches does,

685
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: and then Greg Olsen also does a lot of what

686
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: Devin Funches does. And then and then we think about

687
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: the guy who's gonna straight. He's not gonna stretch the field.

688
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: Funch just doesn't have good speed. Um, so there's a

689
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: gain there. Again, I mean, you talk about a hundred

690
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: targets for a guy who basically Calvin Benjamin is an

691
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: advanced version of him. That's why I'm I'm saying no.

692
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: And plus I I just remember way too many drops

693
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: in college. I'm just not I'm not a fan. He's

694
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: not in a supreme athlete, he doesn't have good hands.

695
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: I just don't see where he fits in this offense

696
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: with Calvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen eating up all that

697
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: underneath coverage. So I'm just staying away. I I can't

698
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: see myself drafting him in any format, alright, So the

699
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: next question on them run down James, Why you still

700
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: hate Jason? It's just here ware this you're joking before

701
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: the show because we're like, man, we could just call

702
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: this entire NFC South preview. Why does James hate blank player?

703
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: Because oh my gosh, this is true pretty much somebody

704
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: on every team that you just irrationally hate the Saints.

705
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: I've dugged the Falcons. There, I've dugged the Saints, and

706
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: you love Tevin Coleman so much by proxy you hate

707
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: divide to I have to you gotta pick sides on

708
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: and who we're trying to remember? Is there somebody that

709
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: you hate on the bus? I was thinking Doug Martin. No, no, no, no, no, okay, alright,

710
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: well so they're the only team that skates by. But

711
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: back to the point in hand, why do you I

712
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: can I can hate Doug Martin if you guys want

713
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 1: me to. Should we keep that narrative? Look? Here here's

714
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: the what Jonathan Steward. Look, I don't get it, like

715
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: I don't get where his ADP is right now? What's

716
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: he going franchise in the six six round? Um? I

717
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: don't understand the value that you cannot possibly get value

718
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: out of Jonathan Stewart in the sixth round. You just

719
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: can't impossible, you can't, you can't the guy, the guy

720
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: last year had played in thirteen games, had nine rush

721
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: yards and just nine receiving yards. Okay, we're talking about

722
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: a guy who has had an unbelievable history of injuries.

723
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: His two two carries last year was a career high,

724
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: so for him, that's a huge workload. Well to forty

725
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: two in general is a huge workload. I don't see

726
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: him playing twelve games this year. And and also keep

727
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: in mind cameerards Pain right now, you want to talk

728
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: about those drum beats. Camerondas Pain has gotten some really

729
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: good reviews, especially especially there, hey listen, especially in past protection.

730
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: He's been getting some really good reviews. Um. I know,

731
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything on cameraardes Pain so far. I

732
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: might have missed it. But okay, hold on, We're going

733
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: to the Google while you dig up this glowing pass

734
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 1: protection review of the backup running back to Jas who

735
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: also is very good in past protection. The thing now

736
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: about JST was everybody's always dogging him for his touchdown

737
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: potential hill and stuff like Cam's gonna vulture everything Jonathan

738
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: Stewart got almost a third of all of the red

739
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: zone opportunities after their Week five. By last year, he

740
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: had thirty one of everything, the targets and the rushes,

741
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: and he had seven touchdowns during that that stretch of

742
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: the season. So the offense shifted a little bit away

743
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: from Cam. He Cam still had eight rushing touchdowns during

744
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: that span because he's a monster. But Jonathan Stewart is

745
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: going to have touchdown potential in a very good offense.

746
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: There's a team that's still gonna be leading a lot

747
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: of games. They're gonna sult aways and wins. Sure, he

748
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: could get injured, anybody could get injured, but when he's healthy,

749
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: he is an excellent back in an excellent offense. I mean,

750
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: we could say anybody could get injured, that's fine, but

751
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: look at the injury history. This guy will get injured.

752
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: There's just no way he's gonna Look if he gets

753
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: the twelve games, I would be shocked. And again you

754
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: mentioned all of those numbers. It was a career year

755
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: for Jonathan Stewart. It's not like we ever saw that share,

756
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: that touchdown potential. We didn't see any of that ever

757
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: in his career and all of a sudden he does it.

758
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Look, it doesn't make sense to me

759
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: how how we can say we're going to ignore his

760
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: entire history and basically draft him like he's gonna play

761
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: like he did last year. It's not gonna happen. He

762
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: was in a committee for most of the rest of

763
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: his his career as well, and now he's the featured

764
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: back in an elite offense. So the one thing that

765
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: about Jonathan Swarthy Charlotte Observer loves his kid. Well, I know,

766
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: I tould writers from the Charlotte I saw that he's

767
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: definitely gotten faster this offseason because he was arrested for

768
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: speeding in Gaston County driving a Hunter five. So I

769
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: guess maybe that's the you know, but he did did

770
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: He did drop ten pounds of offseason. Cameron artist Pain did.

771
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: But but I think, um, I think the thing about

772
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart that we can all agree on, like the

773
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: problem with him as he doesn't catch passes. He only

774
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 1: saw twenty one targets last year. Cam Newton is generally

775
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: not a guy that throws to running backs because he's

776
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: always throwing downfield. Um, so that's one issue with him. Uh,

777
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He got a lot of red zone carries,

778
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: but he scored five touchdowns inside the tent. So I

779
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: think that narrative is a little overplayed. But he's totally

780
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: a guy that I just I'm not. I'm not like

781
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: high as him on as you guys seem to be,

782
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: or as low as him as on James seems to be.

783
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: I just think, especially if you go sorry friendesn me

784
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: and jump you. But if you go heavy wide receiver

785
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: or something like j Stu is an awesome target in

786
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: the sixth round for a lead back. Yeah, if you're

787
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: going zero RB, he could be your r B two. Yeah.

788
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: But he's just one of those guys like when it

789
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: but you just mentioned right there, zero RB RB two,

790
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: you're not taking the RB two in the fifth round.

791
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. If you're

792
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: going zero RB, I mean, it's just not Look, I

793
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: just don't like the price tag. That's it. Like, I

794
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: think he's a good fit for that offense. And so

795
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: if I'm talking around seven or eight, would you take

796
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: a shot at if we're talking round eight, Yeah, Hud,

797
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: I just like I said, right now, where he's going

798
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: to the fifth or sixth round, and again even eighth round.

799
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: That's it's a stretch for me because I'm thinking this

800
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: too much volatility in terms of the injuries. But you

801
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: know again, I don't like I just dislike the price,

802
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: that's all. That's all. You hate him just one of

803
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: those names I always skip over in the draft on

804
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: the draft board, like I'm just like man Jonathan Stewart. Man.

805
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot less clarity when you just look at

806
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: the guys going behind him. That's the one thing about

807
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: Stewart that is nice. Like when he's on the field,

808
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: he's clearly the three down back. Yeah, all right, should

809
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: we go onto the Saints? Why not? Well, real quick,

810
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: Greig Olsen, He's got to be one of the safest

811
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: picks in fantasy greg Olsen. Oh, he's uh, actually, I

812
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: think I have him as I think he's under valley

813
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: to tight end. I don't know if i'd say undervalued,

814
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: because where's he going. He's at worst the clear three right,

815
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: I think I think I happen with my number two

816
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: tight end. But he's third at worst for sure, third

817
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: at worst for sure. He's going as a third tight

818
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: end after Gronk and read, which is so funny because

819
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: like he is classically a guy that I'm just there's

820
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: no way in hell I'm drafting, right, Yeah, I know. See.

821
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: I love greg Olsen. I think he's great. But when

822
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: I took him in the mock last last week, like

823
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: we were talking about that immediately. That's why if you

824
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: can snag him a couple of rounds after where you

825
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: I mean you probably won't because of his name value,

826
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: But if you can snag him a couple of rounds later,

827
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: he's just he's money in the bank. I hate a

828
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: tight end position. All right, let's talk about the Saint alright.

829
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: Where's Drew Brees going? Are we? Is he under valued?

830
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: Over valued? I think he's going kind of Andrew's properly

831
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: value he should be in my opinion, he is currently

832
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: the QB six going off the board at six oh one.

833
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: I like him as the clear QB four behind Cam

834
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: Rogers Wilson. Uh and yeah, so he would be four

835
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: Like he's going behind Luck who's also going ahead of Wilson,

836
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: which is incorrect, and Ben Roethlisberger at QB five, And

837
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: I like Drew Brees better than both those guys. I

838
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: mean we talked about we talked about with wide receivers,

839
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: how there's that obviously clear tier, first tier of guys,

840
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, the the Browns, Beckham's, Julio Jones is um.

841
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: I think similarly with quarterbacks, You've got you got Cam

842
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and I'm willing to allow Russell Wilson to

843
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: kind of sneak into that group. Potentially he's maybe he's

844
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: maybe kind of a one and a half, if you will.

845
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: Beyond that, I think you're looking at Luck, Roethlisberger, Breeze, Palmer,

846
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: Um and kind of that next tier or I think

847
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: they're they're semi interchangeable, but they are clearly kind of

848
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: the next tier of quarterbacks. And I think that's the

849
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: next group of guys you're you're you're seeing coming off

850
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: the board. There we are seeing a lot. I mean,

851
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: you want to talk about sleeper Mike Thomas out of

852
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: House State. He has just been getting I mean, the

853
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: reviews coming in on this kid have just been unbelievable,

854
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: but then the next day are also like he's he's

855
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: had a rough camp. I've seen it go both ways

856
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: with him. It's almost like these camp reports are hard

857
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: to trust. Right, and I saw I saw the same

858
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: thing with the Packards reporters had a really rough camp.

859
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: The other one said, Davante Adams has caught everything. You know,

860
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: like when political parties like tell their candidates you need

861
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: to stay on message, right, That's like what I feel

862
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: like with these bright can you get on message? It's

863
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: one thing, it's rough. But anyways, this is why I

864
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: think Breeze and I missed part of you guys conversation

865
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: because somebody came into the pod studio podcast studio back here.

866
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: I think Brees is being a little on a value

867
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: because he just has so many weapons this year. Yeah,

868
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: Like and rather than chasing all those weapons, because it's

869
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to sort out where the passing targets

870
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: all all go, I'd rather just take Breeze, who's got

871
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: all those guys that he can hurl it to. I

872
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: think he's my my clear cut Qbfore at this point,

873
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: I like it all Right, who do you like in

874
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: terms of that wide receiving corps? I mean, Brandon Cooks

875
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 1: obviously is gonna be the first guy off the board.

876
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: That's kind of it. Yeah, No, I see Willie sneed

877
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: no Mike Thomas. No, maybe he forgot my problem with

878
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: Saints receivers and I just refer to it as wide

879
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: receiver roulette because you just don't know where the ball

880
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 1: is gonna land. And that's kind of been the history.

881
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: That's the history. I mean, Breeze, I mean, part of

882
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: what makes him and what makes this offense so good

883
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: is that you can't scheme to defend one receiver because

884
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: you know before in the in the past, you know,

885
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: one week it would be Marcus Colston, then it would

886
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: be Brandon Cooks, then it would be you know whoever. Um,

887
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be a lot of that.

888
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Cooks is the one guy that may

889
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: be the most consistent. But on a week to week basis,

890
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can accurately predict who's going

891
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: to have the big game. Will be Fleaner's there too,

892
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Coleman's there. Well, you lost me. I'm just saying

893
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: there's a lot of and Hookey Nicks signed with the

894
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: Saints to like you can stop now. I'm just saying,

895
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying Knicks bro like that one I forgot,

896
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: Like wow, Yeah, But anyways, Um, Brandon Cooks man, he's

897
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: one that gives me trouble, Like and I I never

898
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: end up really taking him at his wide receiver fourteen

899
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: price tag in the third round. Um, even in the

900
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: second half of And this is the thing, I think,

901
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: like I finally came to a revelation about who Brandon

902
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: Cooks is a player. Um, you know, even in the

903
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: second half of last season. Like, I think there's a

904
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: lot of like positive revisionist history with Cooks. This season.

905
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: We know he was not a good fantasy asset in

906
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: the first half of the year. Second half of year,

907
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: he had some blow up games, but he also had

908
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: a thirty five yard outing against Houston, a twenty nine

909
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: yard outing against the Bucks of all people, the twenty

910
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: two yard outing against the Falcons. Like, there was still

911
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: some major ups and downs. And to me, like people

912
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: have been high on Brandon Cooks for a long time

913
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: as like a potential you know, Antonio Brown, small receiver,

914
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: number one type of guy. But I think he's like

915
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,959
Speaker 1: Tory Smith. And I like Tory Smith this year because

916
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: he's dirt cheap and Tory Smith is a really good

917
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: NFL player, but he's still super volatile. Brandon Cooks is

918
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: to me, all right, I bought it. And then there's

919
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: this other narrative about mark Ingram with his how he

920
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: had fifty receptions last year in thirteen games with all

921
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: these other guys around, like numbers going down. Yeah, like

922
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: he's just getting Historically been a team that throw a

923
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: ton of targets at their running backs, and if they

924
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,959
Speaker 1: split it up in years past two where like Pierre

925
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: Thomas and uh, I think Mr Verris Cadet it might

926
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: have been sprawl. Still one of the years too had

927
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: like they each had over eighty targets in sprals at

928
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: eighty nine. Thomas had eighty four, which brings us to

929
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: the question, James, why do you hate market right, but

930
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: you actually really hate mark I don't understand why. Okay, okay,

931
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: here's okay, mark Ingram again. It comes down to draft price.

932
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: You guys looking at me like this. He's twenty Look,

933
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: I get it. He's twenty seven years old, you know,

934
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: and he's gonna enter his uh running back prime is

935
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: in an awesome offense. Okay, great, I just don't want

936
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: to pay a late second round. Where's he going? Late

937
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: second round, early second round, early third hell no, oh,

938
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: hell no, I'm not playing an early second round price

939
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: for mark ingram. Um. He's never rushed for a thousand yards. Ever,

940
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: the running back position for the Saints is been somewhat problematic. Um,

941
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: at least historically. So I don't know. Look and you

942
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: talk about fifty catches for four hundred and five yards, okay, Um,

943
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: he had fifty three catches and two eight yards combined

944
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: in his previous four seasons. His previous four seasons combined.

945
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: He was not known as a great pass catching back

946
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: at Alabama as well. Um. I think they've got other

947
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: options there. They have forty million running backs on the roster,

948
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: but none of them aren't good. I'm not saying they're

949
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna be good in between the tackles, but you know,

950
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: the Saints again have been able to find guys that

951
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: could fit their system. Um. And I just like I said,

952
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like if he's got three or four

953
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: drops in a row, Um, will the coaching staff stick

954
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: with him in terms of passing down passing down work?

955
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: And and there's so many other options right now in

956
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: terms of that, in terms of that Saints passing attack,

957
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: I just don't see him getting there. Um, he did

958
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: have a higher catch rate than any of the Saints

959
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: top wideouts last year, and uh he ranked third on

960
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: the team and receptions behind Cooks and watch can I

961
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: can I throw catch rate for running backs. I think

962
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: it's not really fair to mention because so many of

963
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: their extended handoff I would agree with that. It's Saints

964
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 1: run a lot of still gotta catch it whatever, hater.

965
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: Oh no, I I've been just kind of quiet over here.

966
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: But I love mark Ingram this this this year. I think,

967
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: especially if you're going wide receiver heavy, He's like super

968
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: safe and consistent. He's had one healthy season his entire career.

969
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: I like mark Ingram before last one. Okayat uh, He's

970
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: missed at least four games and three of his five seasons.

971
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: He also had a career high in scrimmage yards last year.

972
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: He's had a career high in receptions last basically almost

973
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: doubled his career receptions in one season. I think I

974
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: think a lot of these see this is what I

975
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: find interesting, right, Like the arguments for Jonathan Stewart and

976
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: the arguments for mark Ingram. Right, It's like, I feel

977
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: like we're chasing fantasy points when we start mentioning all

978
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: of these things about like last year they had the

979
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: career high in this in the career Like to me,

980
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: those are red flags. Man. Well, no, I think it

981
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: a turning point. And I think it's more of an

982
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: indication of how of their usage and what the team

983
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: is using them for and there are new roles and

984
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: whatever that was going on. If he did that, if

985
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: if both of these guys were to do that in

986
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: years two or three, I buy it were. I mean,

987
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: these guys have been in the league long enough where

988
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: I know what's up right, Like mark ingram I get it,

989
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old. It's great, but he's been in

990
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,439
Speaker 1: the league five years. He's going into season number six.

991
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: But he wasn't really a starter until because he wasn't good.

992
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: He got better improved. That's when he started to break out.

993
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: I don't disagree that he got better. I'm just not

994
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna chase the fantasy points. I'm not

995
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: gonna pay that price. That's all. That's all I'm saying.

996
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: That's fair. Alright, let's talk about the buckos. Let's do it.

997
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston had a really good rookie season. Yeh, from

998
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: both a real life and a fantasy perspective. Um, the

999
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: defense was really shaky for the Buckos, and that's kind

1000
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: of why they had to air it out a little bit,

1001
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: and I think that helped Jamis. Um. All right, so

1002
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: do you like him? Where do you take him? Where

1003
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: are you thinking about James Wilson this upcoming season in

1004
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: deeper leagues? I'm not opposed to him as a late

1005
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: round if I if I sometimes do a QB by committee,

1006
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: like if I miss out on my my ideal late

1007
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: round guys like Philip Rivers of Tyrod, I think, and

1008
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: actually one what was a mock draft, it might be

1009
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: a league I'm playing out for another site. Um. I

1010
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: think I took Jamis as one of my like my

1011
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks because he was a safe floor play last year. Harmon,

1012
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: you looked at this right here, but never fewer than

1013
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: twelve and more than twenty twice. But I think with

1014
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: the added rapport with Mike Evans another year in the system,

1015
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: he kind of he improved a little bit as the

1016
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: season war on. He dropped his interception rate a little

1017
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,959
Speaker 1: bit and and looked like a better passer. I could

1018
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: see Winston climbing up into that, you know, maybe finishing

1019
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: it as a back in top ten qb um. And

1020
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: the other thing too is apparently he came in just

1021
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: an incredible shopped a lot of weight, apparently came an

1022
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: incredible shape. And last you're if you saw the pics, man,

1023
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: he was the Crooden qb camp one was the really

1024
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: bad one. He looked like a dad at a summer

1025
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: far and and now he's got like a six pack,

1026
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: like there was a great if we got. Somebody did

1027
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: a post for around the NFL here and I think

1028
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: it was him or his winson or his trainer put

1029
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: in an Instagram photo of those pictures side by side,

1030
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: and it's legitimately like night and day. I love it all, Right,

1031
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: what do you take Doug Martin? Nobody jumped on that one, right,

1032
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if I can, if I can wait till

1033
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: the third, I'd be a lot more confident. I don't

1034
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: think he can. I think the thing with Doug Martin

1035
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: that people are just so scared off by he's had

1036
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: two fabulous seasons and just two Garbo seasons. I mean, like,

1037
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: I go back to what I said this time last

1038
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: year that I love Doug Martin as an RB two

1039
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: and I thought he was gonna be fine, and then

1040
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: he ends up becoming an RB one simply because everyone

1041
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: else passed away. Um, But now that everybody's back, I

1042
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: just I'm just so worried that he's going to get

1043
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: overdrafted that you do have to reach for him in

1044
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: the second round. And then you're going to be this

1045
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: pointed when his numbers look a lot like they did

1046
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: last year. But you realize that that's not gonna be

1047
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: good enough on a weekly But I think he's a

1048
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: good player. But he's another guy like Greg Olson. I

1049
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: just find myself never drafting this guy, uh, for all

1050
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: the all the reasons you mentioned, because a lot of times,

1051
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: even if I'm in the back end of a draft,

1052
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm finding myself with a pretty good RB and or

1053
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: two really good wide receivers. I never, you know, never

1054
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: find myself wanting to draft Doug Martin wherever he's at.

1055
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: I just I look at other players I get it

1056
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: more intrigued by the upside he's he's really hampered by

1057
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: Charles Simms is upside as a past guy. That's a

1058
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: good point. And oh god, Charles Sims not to change

1059
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: the subjects like one of my favorite picks in the

1060
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: draft for a number of reasons. One because he was

1061
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: RB twenty two in PPR or in the Standard leagues

1062
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: last year RB seventeen and PPR. Obviously he caught over

1063
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: fifty passes. And man, if something happens to Doug Martin

1064
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,439
Speaker 1: and he is wanted to have things happened to him,

1065
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: whether it be dropping his play or to get hurt,

1066
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 1: Charles Sims can easily walk into like a DeVonta Freeman

1067
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 1: type season where he just assumes all of the workload.

1068
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: And when we're looking at those guys, it's great to

1069
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: target the pass catcher hy high seas I really think

1070
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: we need we need to do a piece. But because

1071
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,479
Speaker 1: there's a couple of guys in situations like that where

1072
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: if if things break a certain way, they're they're league

1073
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: winning type of picks, and Sims Sims is probably the

1074
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: poster child for that sort of player. You're right, because

1075
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: he has a girlhood. He has a great built in workload,

1076
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: more so than some of the other guys. But man,

1077
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: he's sky high ceiling. If if and we don't want

1078
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: anything to happen in Doug Martin, but if it were

1079
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: sky high ceiling, and plus you I mean, you just

1080
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: think about the offense in general, it's not it's not

1081
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: a terrible offense, right, So yeah, you're right, I agree.

1082
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: This guy could totally be one of those DeVonta Freeman types. Um,

1083
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, does he get the touchdowns? Yes or no? Yes,

1084
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,479
Speaker 1: he will have more than he did last year bold.

1085
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: So the funny thing, like he's just Mike Evans is

1086
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: such an interesting player because he caught, you know, touchdown.

1087
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: He caught a touchdown on over seventeen percent of his

1088
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: receptions last year and only like he's kie year and

1089
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: then only four point one receptions last year, and that's

1090
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: like the average is more like in the middle of

1091
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: that for typical wide receivers in fantasy. But he paced

1092
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: he mad, he beat his yards and his receptions last

1093
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: year in the same amount of games that he did

1094
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 1: his rookie season. I'm I'm totally in on Mike Evans.

1095
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: Made his draft price, and I think he's going to

1096
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 1: be the clear target leader there. I'm surprised Vincent Jackson

1097
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: is going as late as he is. I'm not. No,

1098
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if you love roller coasters, you

1099
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: can draft draft Vincon Jackson. Um, it just you know

1100
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: who he is at this point in his career. Well,

1101
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: he's getting definitely long with the two if there's no question.

1102
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 1: And those big receivers I've I've just kind of noticed,

1103
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: like I don't really have any numbers to back this

1104
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: up or anything, but just want if you look over

1105
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: like the careers of these guys, those big receivers have

1106
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: to really transition into like a big slot possession receiver

1107
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: guy to extend their careers well into the thirties. And

1108
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if that if I don't know if

1109
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: Jackson's that type of player. I've taken a shot at

1110
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: him in the fourteen fifteen round it's like a wide

1111
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: receiver five or six, because why the hell not. But

1112
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to reach on him anymore than that.

1113
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: But using Harmont one of Harmon's favorite phrases, targets here,

1114
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: I think about the targets share. I mean, who else

1115
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: is really there? Right point? Adam Humphries he already been

1116
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: the the He's already been declared these hold on a second.

1117
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: That this is something I wanted to get into is

1118
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: because who else is there? Is? The tight end position

1119
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: could be a really interesting one in this offense. Again,

1120
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: I say, who else is there now Austin's Ferry and

1121
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: Jenkins has been subject to much offseason scrutiny, been kicked off,

1122
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: He's been kicked off the practice field. He's kind of

1123
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: underperformed given his second round draft price in natural talent.

1124
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: They like Cameron Bright. But if somebody actually emerges that

1125
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: I was looking back at Dirt Cutter's offenses, he I mean, granted,

1126
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: it's skewed slightly because of the Tony Gonzalez years in

1127
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: Atlanta where he was getting of the targets, but even

1128
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: Mercedes Lewis and Jacksonville owned nineteen point one percent of

1129
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: the target share there, And in seven of Dirt cutters

1130
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: nine years as a coordinator, uh, seven of them, he's

1131
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 1: had somebody with like over eleven percent of the target

1132
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: shop has been to the tight end. This has been

1133
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: your Mercedes Lewis portion of the pub. I'm just saying

1134
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: that if, like if Jenkins gets cut or break is

1135
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: the clear cut starter, he could be a candidate to

1136
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 1: be that this year's Gary Barnage guy that that sneaks

1137
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: up on us and has some surprisingly solid weeks. Are

1138
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: you spending a draft pick on it? I what if

1139
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: he if he's the starter. I absolutely would if he's

1140
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: a starter, yes, and like a late round draft and

1141
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: to back up the to back up the tight too

1142
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: many other types probably probably like if it's a deeper league,

1143
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: I'm probably not drafting. But but but like to back

1144
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: up Galhar's point, like, not only does Dirk Cutter have

1145
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: a long history with tight ends, so does Jamis Winson.

1146
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: No quarterback targeting tight ends more than Jamis Winson in

1147
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: the FBS. He helped Nico Leary nick O'Leary to several

1148
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: productive seasons in college and into the NFL. Into the NFL,

1149
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: it was like a fourth round draft, fifth round something

1150
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: like that. But I mean, and then he got into

1151
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,959
Speaker 1: camp and then everyone realized, oh wait, all right, he's

1152
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: got like I think he has really short arms, and

1153
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: he's just like not affluent. So isn't he the guy

1154
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: like this we're getting off the rest? But he didn't

1155
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: heed the guy that doesn't use gloves like Nico Leary

1156
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: like every and everybody uses. He's the same one that's

1157
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: related to Jack Nicholson, the not the actor, right or

1158
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholas. Okay, okay, So like we're talking about Cameron

1159
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: brad and possibly drafting him, right, Okay, so let's let's

1160
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: just go down the list of tight ends right here here, guys,

1161
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 1: you know you're drafting ahead of of Cameron Gronk, Read Olson,

1162
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: Kelsey Effort, Walker, Fleaner, Barnage, like Darius Green, probably, Zach Ertz,

1163
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas, Antonio, Gates, Martella's been. I mean, we're at

1164
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: least at twelve, right, Martelli's Bennett probably. Yeah. Uh, Dwayne

1165
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: Allen Zack Miller, all right, your point is, well, some

1166
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: of us are some of us playing leagues in the

1167
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: Dangers League. He will get drafted. There you go. I'm

1168
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: just saying, if it follows the right way, he could

1169
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: have a he could have a more assured part. We

1170
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: don't have to be used to everybody on this podcast. Well,

1171
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, listen, I think you guys can both

1172
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: be right because you're talking about Gary Barnage, right, It's

1173
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: not like Barnage was getting drafted here. So no, he's

1174
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: he's definitely, he'll definitely be a waiver wire guy that

1175
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: you could at least put that little Yeah, like I

1176
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: always wait on tight end. So I love guys like

1177
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: Dwayne Allen Zach Miller at all this year but if,

1178
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: like I'm saying, if I'm not going to draft Bright

1179
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: now in the fifteenth round, but if things break that way,

1180
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: when I'm drafting at the end of August and We've

1181
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: got a couple of preseason games, I might take a

1182
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: shot on him instead of somebody else. Are you suggesting

1183
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: that a handful of tight ends are going to be

1184
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: mysteriously kidnapped between now and the end? Like, um, does

1185
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: this qualify as the narrative that Marcus Grant hates Cameron

1186
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: brid I guess so, wow, it's just at least I

1187
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 1: don't hate Cameron Bright, but like, let's not let's let'sp nope, nope,

1188
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: let's stop passing off this fallacy that like he's going

1189
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: to be draftable this year, they're probably going to like

1190
00:56:54,520 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: Harvard did did. Yeah, so there you go, Marcus face.

1191
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: Let's uh, DeVante Freeman when before anything came out, you know,

1192
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman, we're talking about the number one running back

1193
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: from last season and appropriately was being you know, graded

1194
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: in the in the I don't know, late first round,

1195
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: but his draft stock has taken a big time hit.

1196
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: I will be one of the guys that will also

1197
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: say I probably contributed to that a little bit. Um.

1198
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a big guy on DeVonta Freeman. His value though,

1199
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: has been dropping so far, um that I don't can

1200
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: I I might be starting to come around. Where is he? He?

1201
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: Has he really fallen that far? I's a mid second

1202
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: round pick, is he? I thought I thought he was

1203
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: going early third might in some ladies, especially like as

1204
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: as things progress with the Stevin Coleman news pieces. Yeah,

1205
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure some people are still going to take him

1206
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: in the back end of the first round. Who aren't

1207
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, up on things, you will be like, oh,

1208
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: fourteen touches or whatever. Yeah, right, exactly. Um, I'm not

1209
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm not too big on Devonte Freeman in terms of

1210
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 1: being a first rounder or a second rounder. Third round.

1211
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: I feel much more. I'm cool with him in the

1212
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: back half of the second round. I panicked at first

1213
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: with the Tevin Coleman news, but I think he's such

1214
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: a better pass catcher than Coleman that even if Coleman

1215
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: eats a decent chunk into his rushing workload, he'll have

1216
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: a safe enough weekly floor. But he can still be

1217
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: an RB one that's safe. Like to me, he's especially

1218
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: in PPR leagues. You mentioned the pass catching, He's a

1219
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: clear like. He's another guy that I would have as

1220
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: my RB one and a wide receiver heavy team because

1221
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: not to mention the pass catching, but also the red

1222
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: His red zone ability gives him great four of his

1223
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns inside ten yards. Since since, I mean sincere question here,

1224
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: I just want you guys opinion on it. Why is

1225
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: it that you guys aren't worried about Tevin Coleman eating

1226
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,919
Speaker 1: into Dafante Freeman's were worried about Charles Sims kind of

1227
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: really undercutting Doug Martin because they're eating in different parts

1228
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: of the game. Pass catching, yeah, pass catching like Freeman

1229
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: is still going to get the money touches like inside

1230
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: the red zone as a pass catcher drills hurry up. Yeah,

1231
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not buying into that. Really. I

1232
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: think I look at what Tevin Coleman brings to the table.

1233
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: He has um been a fabulous player in the one

1234
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: cut system, which is what they used down there, uh

1235
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. And for me, I think he's obviously a

1236
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: much more explosive athlete than DeVante Freeman. I see this

1237
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: as more of a situation where they're gonna split series, Like,

1238
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's gonna be a clear cut Hey,

1239
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: inside the twenty we're going with this guy. In between

1240
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: the in between twenties, we're going with this guy. Third downs,

1241
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with this guy. I just think I

1242
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be one of those it's gonna be

1243
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: one of those backfields where, hey, you get a couple series,

1244
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: all right, now you get a couple of series. Now

1245
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: you get a couple of I think, and I think

1246
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: in that way, they're gonna try to keep DeVante Freeman

1247
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: fresh because what we saw last year, he was just

1248
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: terrible running the ball down the stretch three point oh

1249
00:59:56,080 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: six uh rush yards per carry, which is that's that's

1250
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: not even rosterable. That's bad. Uh So I just think, look,

1251
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: I that's how I kind of see this backfield chicken out.

1252
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: But this is a backfield we're gonna watch super close

1253
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: during the preseason. There's no question. I read something this

1254
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: morning that said that the coaching staff wants both backs

1255
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: to have featured back skill sets. So basically, they want

1256
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: both of them to be able to do everything. And

1257
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: they're not drawing the line where it's like, Okay, Freeman's

1258
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: are early down guy. Coleman is our third down pass

1259
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: catching guy. They want them both to do everything. Marcus says,

1260
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: it's good to want things, but I don't know. I

1261
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: don't know. They're developing Coleman to be that kind of guy.

1262
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: And the thing you keep seeing with Coleman is they

1263
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: keep talking about his long speed, so that gives him

1264
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: like that big play home run upside. That's what he was,

1265
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: That's what he is. But but Freeman, like Harmon said,

1266
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: is the red zone guy, and Coleman also had ball

1267
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: security issues last year, so might not trust him in

1268
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: those those Uh. And that's that's what's preventing me from

1269
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: just going all in on Tim and Coleman is the

1270
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: fact that he has those ball security issues. But I

1271
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: don't know. It was your guy last year. No I know,

1272
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: but I mean, listen, I'm just saying, what then we

1273
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: saw him play on the field and lose the ball?

1274
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Did it happen? Uh? The we gotta look at what

1275
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: we saw on tape, which was very shaky ball security.

1276
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: Weally he fixed that. We gotta speed through the falcons

1277
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: here and get out of here. Anybody else getting in on.

1278
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,919
Speaker 1: Mohamed Sanu is a deep sleeper whatever you know, I saw,

1279
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: here's the thing I wasn't. And then today on Good

1280
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Morning Football, which our brand new morning show here on

1281
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 1: the net watch on NFL Network, Charlie Cashuley was really

1282
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: big on Mohammed Sunu. He really kind of went in

1283
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: on how Mohammed s and he said, he said, look,

1284
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: he's not he's not a speed guy, but he's a

1285
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: big body guy who knows how to run routes, has

1286
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: reliable hands and uh, you know the thing he said

1287
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: is that Mohammed Sanu now is significantly better than what

1288
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: we saw from Roddy White last year, which I don't

1289
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: think is a stretch. Um. So, look, he's a late

1290
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 1: round guy for me, if if anything. But I'm I'm

1291
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more excited than I was, say a

1292
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,439
Speaker 1: week ago. I'm gonna give you guys a danger zone

1293
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: deep sleeper. Aldrick Robinson there with the Atlanta Falcon. Yeah,

1294
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: apparently he's having a really good camp. Um and and

1295
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: he is one of those speed guys. He's a freak

1296
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: of nature speed guy. Um and uh and apparently he's

1297
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: having and I just think about what role he could

1298
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: play as a field stretcher, right like they don't have

1299
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: that on their roster right now. Justin mar Jones, No,

1300
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: I agree with the Julia Jones does everything. He's awesome,

1301
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 1: man Um. And Justin Hardy Is is a guy who's

1302
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be a pretty good speed guy. To um,

1303
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: I just I'm just saying Aldrick Robinson is a guy

1304
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: who's a again a danger zone deep sleeper. Do you

1305
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: know what I remember Aldrick Robinson as because I've been

1306
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: subjected to a lot of DC football in my day. God, Um,

1307
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: I always remember Aldrick Robinson because he was on their

1308
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,479
Speaker 1: roster forretty long time. I remember him being the guy

1309
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: that I'd be like, Man, I wish somebody was better

1310
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: was on the other end of those r G three

1311
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: deep bombs back when Archie He's a proven He's a

1312
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: proven deep threat, right yeah, proven you can catch the

1313
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: ball well. Again, I hate to point to Ted Gain

1314
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: as positive, but uh so. Last question on Atlanta, is

1315
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: anybody drinking some Matty Ice this year as their quarterback?

1316
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: You wanted me to draft Ryan? No? Ryan, he will

1317
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: have a better season than he did last year. His

1318
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: three point four touchdown rate was the lowest it's ever

1319
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: been of his entire career. He was horrific in the

1320
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: red zone, only a fifty two point four percent interceptions

1321
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: interceptions the red zone. So I think he'll be like,

1322
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: he'll be fine, but I don't really have any interest

1323
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:36,919
Speaker 1: in him and as my starter, and I think there's

1324
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: a lot of late round guys like Jameis Winston included

1325
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: that have a higher ceiling than him. So I'm not

1326
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna be drafting Matt Ryan unless it's in the best

1327
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: ball lead Matt Stafford, I like you also talked about

1328
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: struggling to pick up the offense last year, So second

1329
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: second season in Shannon's system might be a little bounce

1330
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 1: back here for it's a big you know, here's the thing.

1331
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: It was a big transition for him because even going

1332
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: back to his Boston college Chase by the way, he

1333
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: had twenty one touchdown sixteen interceptions horrible and good. Yeah,

1334
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: that's horrible. Um still somehow ended up with an eighty

1335
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: nine rating. That's amazing. Ratings A weird step. Yeah, that's

1336
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: a weird step. Um. But going back to his Boston

1337
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: college days, he was very much like that Carson Palmer type, right,

1338
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: like dropped back, um and make those reads seven step

1339
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: drops and and he'd liked to go along. Um, but

1340
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: this the Shanahan system. Man, it's just different, right, Like

1341
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: you gotta make quicker reads, you gotta do those type

1342
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: of different things. Um, Matt Ryan supposedly a pretty smart

1343
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: guy's uh, you know, reportedly putting his head into that playbook.

1344
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know, you're two under this new system.

1345
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. It might be better for him, And

1346
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's unreasonable to think that you get

1347
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: to thirty touchdowns given his arm strength, given Julio Jones,

1348
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's unreasonable. No, it's not unreasonable. I mean,

1349
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: but I think you mentioned his interception numbers. I mean

1350
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: his touchdown the interception ratio has never been great. That

1351
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: he's always been a little bit overrated as a fantasy quarterback. Right,

1352
01:04:51,840 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. All right, should be taps ye, depth, right,

1353
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: daily lap time. We're gonna start with Whiskid from Wisconsin.

1354
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: What's up? Oh? You're going to meet first? I was

1355
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: just trying to look at this. Okay, we'll forget it.

1356
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: I can go first. You want me to go face?

1357
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,480

1436
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: checked really all the boxes I'm looking for in life.

1437
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 1: Uh So, yeah, it was just incredibly well done. It's

1438
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: on Netflix. I definitely recommend checking it out and the music.

1439
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: I put a Spotify playlist up of the music as

1440
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 1: well from the movie just I mean, just incredible, blown Away. Alright, alright,

1441
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: give it to franchise. Alright, I'm gonna do a daily

1442
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: dapths to Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch because I found out

1443
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: last week he is going to appear on an episode

1444
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 1: of Running Wild with Bear Grylls. Yeah, boys season, Here

1445
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: we Go. Drew Brees did it last year and I

1446
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 1: found this, um this quote from Bear Grylls in the

1447
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:21,480
Speaker 1: New York Post. I guess Marshawn Lynches was on Corsica,

1448
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: which is like an island off the coast of France.

1449
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: Bear Gyl says, we took Marshawn Lynch to the high

1450
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:30,640
Speaker 1: mountains up there, very exposed cliff type terrain. He's a

1451
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: guy who's never set foot outside of the city now

1452
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: clinging onto these mountains on all fours, shaking like a leaf.

1453
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: So that sounds like it's going to be a wonderful episode.

1454
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: Anything Beast Mode has done since he's retired as just gold.

1455
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: So anything he's done, period, pure, Anything he's done pure,

1456
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: period pretty much is gold. So we'll wipe away some

1457
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,679
Speaker 1: of the years in Buffalo that doesn't count, so who cares?

1458
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: But everything else gold that'll air this season at some point. Uh, well,

1459
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: that trash TV. I'm going to depth some great TV. Uh.

1462
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,000

1463
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Phenomenal. I mean it the show actually,

1464
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: it hooked me from the first ten minutes of the

1465
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: opening episode and it just never let go and I

1466
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:25,640
Speaker 1: will without spoiling anything. Um, just imagine if, at the

1467
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 1: height of their creative powers, Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter and

1468
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:32,839
Speaker 1: Stephen King had a creative baby. Um, it is stranger

1469
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: That is hype. It is Stranger Things. If you are

1470

Speaker 1: a child of the eighties or just love the eighties,

1471
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean you, you may have an extra connection to

1472
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: it because there's there's definitely some nostalgia. But even without that, Uh,

1473
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: the story is is so much fun. The the the

1474
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:51,640
