We're tweeting out the link and 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:28.280 hopefully we'll get a nice field of competitive entries. Absolutely, 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.920 that might be rout to your first opportunity to smoke 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.840 one of those victory cigars. Getting it in early when 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.320 we still have President Obama moving forward though. You know 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.160 what we need to also do is one of those cigars. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.480 Maybe should go uh in a way to stip our 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.280 cap to someone who you know has been doing it 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.280 in Fantasy full been doing it for years. I would 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.480 say he's been doing it for years. This cat has 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.560 been running around with some of the sounds from under 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.680 the ground. But suddenly now we uttered it loud in 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.440 front of a crowd, So frounting is alloud because this guy, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.960 Steve Smith, he would punch you in the mouth, you know, 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.280 I'm telling you. And this guy had only five nine Okay, 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.560 what a hell of a career Rocks and Smith in 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.639 the Fantasy Freestyle. Definitely want to tip our cap to 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.880 Steve Smith. This guy, I think is a no brainer 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.520 Hall of Famer, a thousand catches five time All Star 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.959 guy was just like, had you know such determination, grit grind, 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.560 this guy would punch you. Also, when you consider his 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.800 return yardage, um, you know, second maybe only to Tim 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.959 Brown in terms of you know, production from the white 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.440 out spot. When you consider returning as well, Yeah, man, 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.600 I mean you look at the numbers and it's it's 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.360 absolutely surprising. Steve Smith had a bunch of years that 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.680 really jump out the page off the page when you 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.800 look at his total career. But he was really a 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.200 guy who year in and year out, people kept saying 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.000 he was going to decline, and he did not. He 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.880 finishes an illustrous career that started with him being the 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.920 third round pick out of Utah in two thousand and one. 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.320 I repeat that two thousand and one blow well in 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.440 career was sceptions in the NFL seventh in career receiving yards, 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.040 and that's an attribute to his big play ability and 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.840 as you just said, speeds seventh in career all purpose yards. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.680 One of my defining moments of Steve Smith as a 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.159 Saints fan was constantly watching Steve Smith running down the 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.000 field catching bombs from quarterbacks ranging from Jake Delme to 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.159 Cam Newton with no other Saint in the picture. It's 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.000 been absolutely ridiculous, and he proved a lot of people wrong, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.400 finishing up his career with the Baltimore Ravens as a 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.839 productive wide receiver in the latter half of his thirties. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.560 Tip of the cap to see Smith to all your 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.080 other defensive backs out there, but Ice up Son, Ice 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.680 off Son. You know Steve Smith, he be getting down 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:43.960 like that. And I mean when he was in the 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.680 Carolina Patis referenced Shake Delme throwing him the ball. I 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.320 mean that team went to the Super Bowl one year 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.839 and he was a prime weapon. This guy, first second 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.640 round draft pick, year in year out, would get you 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.159 undred yards and he would get you in the end zone. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.240 Big play ability from the wide receiver position. You'll check 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.680 it out, though, Rocks. Another thing you missed when you 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.320 were out in international waters was Black Monday. I know 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.320 a couple of coaches that wish that they had Steve 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.719 Smith or some kind of production like that from the outside, 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.960 because maybe it would have saved them their jobs. There 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:24.719 are currently six openings in the NFL, which is you 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.360 know what I'm doing the math like almost a fifth 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.840 of the league. I'm telling you, so I mean, you know, 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.400 I would wonder. You know, if you've been listening to 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.760 the Fantasy Sports radio network, you're here. Species has been 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.680 in statistician on shot callers, and earlier in the week, 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.160 I kind of ranked the jobs that I thought were 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.640 most desirable, and I gave some some reasons that people 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.560 not may not be interested in or know about, like, 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.160 for example, Rocks. I kind of think the San Francisco 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.400 job is pretty good. Let me give you three reasons why. Okay. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.440 One is that it is the only opening right now 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.839 where the team is going to be hiring a head 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.400 coach and a GM at the same time. For the 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.560 for the head coach and the GM to be on 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.160 the same page and come in without any kind of 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.280 in one inheriting the other, I think is very very important. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.680 Is the covered pretty much? Bear? Yes? It is. Do 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.240 I think there is talent? No, I do not. But 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.200 what I did hear Jed York the owners say was 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.239 that he wants to try to establish a new winning 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.479 culture and you know what that takes time. You know 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.359 what else, they have had four head coaches in the 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.839 last four years, and I don't think that's gonna happen. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.560 I think they are also in a division where you 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.560 also have Los Angeles that is a basement kind of team, 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.960 and uh, this is Speeds calling his shot. The Arizona 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.800 Cardinals are primed for regression over the next two to 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.200 four years with an aging quarterback. I can see David 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.880 Johnson being the only shining light there for years to 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.520 come with it looks like Larry Fitzgerald is gonna be 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.560 gone as well. I think this is a division where 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.640 you can kind of spring up and uh, you're gonna 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.040 have some time on the same page with the g M. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.840 I think that's kind of important one of these jobs 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.160 to her interest box. Well, I would say, you know, 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.600 as you as you astutely pointed out, it's there is 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:22.400 an entire new organization basically up in San Francisco, and 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.400 if I'm coming in as either a coach or a 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.560 g M, I really really like that. I will say though, 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.760 that in Los Angeles, I'm not entirely sure that less 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.040 Snead is necessarily going to stick around as the GM there. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.080 I know that is a very very high profile opportunity 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.480 as well. I think a lot of coaches would be 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:44.040 interested in that. That said, I wouldn't be shocked to 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.040 see people choosing the Denver job. You know, if you're 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.800 one of these young guys that maybe had a chance 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.640 and kind of fell flat like an Adam excuse me, 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.480 like um, like a Josh McDaniels, you know I wouldn't 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.040 be you know, you've been waiting. I don't know. I 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.080 don't know. It may be hard for him going staying 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.320 in the a f C with a competitive team, but 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.200 that is a team that justusin. Dennis was already the 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.840 head coach of the Broncos in his career. He's not 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.920 gonna go back there when he left the first time 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.720 he became the Broncos head coach. I don't think they 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.360 want to go back to that. Can not play with him, 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.560 cannot win with him, cannot coach with him, can't do 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.800 it right. Bad, my bad, my bad, my bad, bad, 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:29.880 bad gentleman. I'll let you. I'll let you take that one. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.400 Here's the thing. I think Denver is gonna wind up 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:36.320 going a bigger, a bigger splash than that. Okay, this 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.120 is a kind of win now team. I think you 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.880 make a good point about being lucky to try to 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.400 when you're an ascending coordinator or something like that. You 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.200 have to be careful because you only get so many 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.000 opportunities unless, of course, your last name is Ryan for 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.880 some reason. But here's the reason I don't like the 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.480 Denver job as much as many people that are out 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:59.800 there that I've heard from. Um, you have expectations in Denver, Okay. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.520 As soon as you walk in, you are expected to 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.040 make the playoffs. You have a defense that is win now, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.080 but the window is slightly closing, and you have strong 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.760 personalities there in John l A and guys like Von Miller. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.439 And here's the thing. When that defense has to win now, 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.920 that's when you're supposedly developing either Accident Lent or Trevor Simeon. 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.800 I'm not that excited about that. And the last point 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.200 I'll say about that, with the expectations that you have 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.760 as Denver, you are in a very difficult division. The 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.840 Kansas City Chiefs are solid team year and year out. 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.920 The Oakland Raiders, many people believe, are in ascending team. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.040 And with young former m v P Chansigator until he 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.760 got hurt car out there, they're gonna be there four 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.440 years to come. I don't think it's an easy road 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.880 to host similar how to like free agents, don't want 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.320 to be in the like Western Conference when it's so 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.559 bad in the NBA. I think there's expectations, but you're 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.560 set up so continue to be mediocre, especially with these 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:59.319 two quarterbacks. Well what do you think maybe about the 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.880 Kyle Shanahan. Yeah, I like given his father has given 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.320 his list, there's relationship, given the fact that you know 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.960 he's going to be treated with a little bit of respect, 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.600 and also that the fans there are gonna see that 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.080 last name and remember the good times. Yeah, I like 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.679 Kyle Shanahan a lot. When I did uh talk about 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.240 candidates on Shock Caller's earlier on this week, Um, Kyle 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.640 Shanahan was someone I had big faith in. I have 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.880 big faith in this Atlanta offense. He's done it before 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.520 everywhere he has been. This Atlanta offense is number one 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.800 in the league. And I do think Kyle Shanahan is 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:38.080 interested in Denver, and I think Denver is interested in him. I, however, 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:42.480 placed Kyle Shanahan instead because maybe about like you said, 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.320 stepping out of Dad's shadow a little bit. You know, 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.840 Shanahan obviously did have some time in Denver, but I 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.480 was thinking that Shanahan was viable in one of two 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.880 jobs where they might be looking for a quote unquote 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.280 quarterback whisperer. And I think there are two jobs out 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.440 there that also, to be quite honest, I think are 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.600 better than most. When I did my rankings, they were 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.559 a number one and number two jobs. I think if 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.120 he could go out to l A and actually develop 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.120 Jared Goff, you have all the other pieces in place 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.120 with Todd Darley in the running back a defense with 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.839 guys like um all Pro, Aaron Donald Donald to the ogletree. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.440 You have a new market where that can attract free agents, 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.120 you have some buzz, you have an owner that's building 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.160 a new stadium that wants to keep it fill, and 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.839 we'll have resources behind you. And if you're the guy 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.360 who thinks you can develop Jared Goff, I think it 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.400 would be a good play. The other place where I 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:41.280 think that is largely similar is in Jacksonville. Listen, the 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.560 defense is getting better and better with guys like Millie Jackson, Fowler, 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.440 Jalen Ramsey. You are also in an imminently winnable division 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.719 as we have seen, and you know the Allen's on 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.400 the outside piss. You are the guy that can fix 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.679 Blake Bortles. Then you have an interesting you have an 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.240 interesting possibility, and he in a winnable division. The only 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.160 thing I don't like about that job is you're gonna 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.000 have to deal with that trip to London every year, 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.040 which is a bit of a problem for me. Well, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.080 and another thing that I'll say to you there is 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.319 that you know, it's kind of a damned if you do, 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.439 damned if you don't, because you're dealing with a quarterback 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.760 in uh, you know, in mortal service that's shown some 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.440 NFL success, but who's also it seems like every other 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.319 year he's having his mechanics needing to be fixed. And 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.560 at what point do you just get sick of that? 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.920 I would also say, we're hearing that Doug Moron might 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.000 get a look there, We're hearing that Tom Coughlin might 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.920 even be brought back. I mean, does Jacksonville's owner or 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.640 Shad Con, does he view them as as a project 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.559 team or does he think that they're really close to 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.440 being win now because of that week division? I don't know. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.440 I don't think that Week one now either. I think though, 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.920 he will give his next coach a little bit of leeway. Um, 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.440 and you have you've bought time because you know you 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.280 inherited Blake Bortles. Going back to my point before at 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.840 the timeline, that's why that San Francisco job is pretty 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:01.960 interesting to me. The last name I want to mention, 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.800 the job that I actually ranked the least desirable um 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:11.880 is the San Diego Chargers job. And here is why. Okay, 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.959 it's been said in any sport, one of the hardest 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.959 things to do as a manager or as a coach 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.920 is to deal with an aging superstar. That's what you 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.320 have in the quarterback position in San Diego. Philip Rivers 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.680 coming off a season where he led in the league 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.720 in interceptions twenty one interceptions. He made it very public 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:32.480 at the beginning of the year that he didn't know 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.440 if he would want to ever move his family and 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.760 is like twenty seven kids to Los Angeles. It seems 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.120 like that's what the Chargers are always to be doing. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.280 I don't know if Philip Rivers wants to inherit a 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.720 new coach and a new scheme and all this stuff. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.520 I think Actually you mentioned Josh McDaniels, offensive coordinator of 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.439 the New England Patriots. I'm actually hearing that the defensive 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.640 coordinator of the New England Patriots. Matt Patricia has been 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.600 granted permission to interview with San Diego, and I can 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.080 see that as a possible thing. You mentioned the first 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.559 time defensive coordinator getting a job. When you don't have 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.120 that much demand, you might have to take what you 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.440 can get, and I think that might be the case here. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.680 But I don't like this job to charge is potentially 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.480 moving to l A to be Little Brothers second class 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.200 citizens in the Rams Stadium. In fact, just having alienated 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.520 a fan base. With Philip Rivers having two years left, Max, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.760 I don't like this Chargers job, and I think the 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.160 lunk of the litter in this case is Matt Patricia. Honestly, though, 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.800 I agree with you and Philip Rivers. Though let's not 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.440 forget that he did lose his number one weapon this year. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.840 That defense did them absolutely no favors, and you know, 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.320 Mike McCoy was pretty overwhelmed the last couple of seasons 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.840 he did. You know, it's obviously not all on the 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.360 head coach, but there are worse things to do than 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.520 Inherit the twilight of Philip rivers career, and at least 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.320 as the first year on the job for a young coach. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.720 I'd rather than twilight of Philip Rivers career than Jared 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.800 goss sophomore season. Absolutely. Uh. San Diego Chargers. Remember we 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.800 talked about it with the Denver job. They are just 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.240 out of leave, fourth out of four in that division 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.640 and a tough road to hoo. You know who is 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.480 not ever fourth? It is Rocks and Speeds, and we're 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.960 gonna prove it in our DFS lineup. But when we 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.320 come back, we're gonna give you a little sneak pee 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.040 view of our DFS lineup. Maybe we shouldn't give them everything, Rocks, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.480 because then they know how to compete against us in 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.760 a tournament. We're also going to give them our breakdowns 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.400 of all four wild card games where we come back, right, Rocks, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.000 We're going game by game. We're giving you Saturday, We're 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.120 giving you Sunday. We're giving you those a f C games, 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.040 giving those NFC games. We are with you on the 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:38.800 march to the Super Bowl. Let's get uh Fantasy Freestyle, 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:47.280 the Fantasy sports radio network that look, hello, you play 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:52.600 to win the game? You don't play it, just play it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.440 you know what it is. You know, we dropping statue 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.040 over beats it's a fantasy freestyle on the Fantasy Sports 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.360 Radio Network. Rocks and Speeds in the place to be 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.400 if you want to get at us, who could always 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.280 tweet at us at fantasy freestyle, but leave off that 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.360 last because there are no errors in the fantasy freestyle. Hey, Rocks, 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.680 we're gonna hit him off with all this wild card 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.600 knowledge to give them. Also, you know, shout out to 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.880 it's always sunny in Philadelphia. That started again, Charlie Kelly, 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.120 the ultimate wild card Rocks. You ready to get into 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.400 these wild card games? Yeah? Man, Let's let's take it 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.920 down south, baby, Let's take it down south. We're going 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.360 to Houston, aren't we. We are going to see an 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:33.120 Oakland Raider team traveling Oakland, Maryus who very well could 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:38.280 have been the second seed. Unfortunately, that Derek Carr injury 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.760 changes everything and now they're gonna be on the road 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.520 playing a Houston Texan team. It's going to be Connor 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:48.960 Cook versus brock Ostwiler Speeds. Is that what you expect 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:53.040 in terms of quarterback play in playoff matchup? No, absolutely not. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.080 It's funny. I wanted to say this is a matchup 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.240 of two backup quarterbacks, but The sad part is that 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.840 brock Oswiler has been that seventy two million dollar news 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.200 around the Houston Texans all season long. He is a backup, 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.520 but you know this is pretty bad quarterbacks, Like this 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.880 is a rematch of that Mexico City Monday night football 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.879 game where there were lasers in brock Oswidler's face. I 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.800 wonder if he has recovered from those. Here's the thing. 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.760 I've been fading the Houston Texans all season long and 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.040 I can't believe it, but I'm gonna have to pick 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.560 them to win this game. I mean Connor Cook as 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:29.200 the third string quarterback. He got absolutely zero reps with 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.920 this offense all season long. Do you remember it was 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.320 actually mcgloyn who was the backup. Connor Cook is the 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.679 first NFL quarterback in history to make zero starts in 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:42.000 the regular season and then start a playoff game for 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.480 his team. And I think they're gonna struggle to move 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:46.800 the ball against the number one defense in the NFL, 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.440 the Houston Texans only giving up three and ten yards 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.240 a game. I struggle to see how the Oakland Raiders 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.440 moved the ball here. And so let's brock Oswidler serves 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.960 it up on a platter, which he is known to do. 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.119 I can't believe this, but I think the Texans are 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.080 gonna win this game at home. Yeah, I mean, I 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.399 agree with you. I will say that I thought Connor 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.240 Cook was actually, before the draft one of the better 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.359 quarterback prospects in the class. I felt like he was 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:16.680 really victim of a savage, anonymous attack from NFL scouts, 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.760 and part of me would really like to see Connor 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.480 Cook prove all of the haters wrong on the road 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.320 in his first career start. But the reality of it 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.680 is that this is the NFL and that is a very, 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.840 very very tough road to travel. From a fantasy perspective, 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.560 I'm really having a hard time looking at these fan 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.840 duel prices and having, you know, selecting really anyone from 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.720 this game I want to target. There are the two 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:47.119 Oakland wide receivers and a price very very reasonably. But again, 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.960 you talk about Connor Cook, I'm looking for Lamar Miller 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:55.600 at on fan duel in this game. Oakland's defense has 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.120 not been very very good at all. You know, Houston 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.200 is gonna want to play conservative heap brock Off Wilder 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.920 from losing the game for them. And resting their laurels 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.560 on that defense. I see this being another big workfload 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.919 for Lamar Miller and I wouldn't be shocked if he 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.320 got a rare for him rushing touchdown in this one. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.760 I would keep Lamar Miller at in mind. And what 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:22.880 is a very very weak group of running backs this 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.800 week on Van Duel, Non tell Rocks, I understand what 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:27.680 you're saying out there, and I agree with you. I'm 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.240 fading the Oakland side of this game. I want no 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:34.040 part of receivers crab Street and Cooper in this matchup. Also, 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:36.159 you know, Rocks, I've been talking about it on Fantasy 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.480 Freestyle and on Shot Follers on the Fantasy Sports Radio 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:42.840 Network all season long, at this Oakland backfield and how 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.680 like it's been a committee. It has not been Latavia's Murray. 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:49.359 And you've seen even recently apparently Washington is back in 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.400 the fold. They're going three headed again. So it's very 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.160 hard to pick, you know, if you think you could 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.120 pick the right one who gets in the end zone 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.359 or pops off, whether it be Jay la Chard or 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.240 Washington or Murray more or to you, I'm going away 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.879 from it the I am I do however, rocks in 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.000 that lineup where I'm competing against the fantasy freestyle listeners. 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:11.480 I had to Houston Texans in that lineup, but they 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.160 might not be the ones you think we got. The dork. 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.960 The first one is, uh, the Houston Texans defense. I 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:19.840 have the Texans defense. We can talk there about a 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.879 third string quarterback. They're the second highest defense on the 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.440 Lord at forty hundred. But I like Ja, Dave and 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.680 Pliny and the number one defense going at home, going 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.960 against the third string quarterback, the second one, go ahead, 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:36.240 rock you. Houston really showed something this year without J. J. Watt. Yeah, 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.520 the J Watt all world. But you know, tip of 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.120 the cap to the Houston defense for not folding when 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:42.800 a lot of people thought they would when J. J. 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:44.920 Watt was lost for the season. I'm sorry to interrupt. 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.280 You keep who's that second guy? Now? We're gonna keep 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:49.720 the second guy's secret, I guess because I don't want 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:53.280
