Speaker 1: listen to this podcast, So Rejoice, Rejoice, everybody. I got

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: plenty of stuff I want to talk to you about today.

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to do a little round of either or

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: because this is when, you know, I mean, this is

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: sort of the silly season of the fantasy off season

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: where people are sort of creating strong men to do

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: to knock down and tell us who they would or

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't draft. I want to do some hype train and

29
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: smoke screen because you know, this is the height of

30
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: coach speak season as well, and so we'll try to

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: dig through some of those great things. But I want

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: to start, as I have with a lot of my guests.

33
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking into a little bit of draft strategy. Just

34
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: try to like poke around in your head a little

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: bit and see how you think on draft day. And

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I guess the first thing is because we see people

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: obviously putting out rankings all the time, and news headlines

38
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: come and people talk about how they feel about things.

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: When you're looking at players and you're ranking players, how

40
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: often do you shift them around in the off season?

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: And for you, what moves the needle? What makes you

42
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: want to change spots for guys? Yeah, it's a it's

43
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: a really good question and there's not there's not a

44
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: ton of non injury stuff. I would say that happens

45
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: during like O T A S and during camp. That

46
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: is going to get me to move off of a

47
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: lot of initial positions. But what what does do it? Um?

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: You know, So I'll go through and I'll do like

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: an initial round of kind of quick and dirty, sloppy

50
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: projections in you know, April May, right around the draft. Um,

51
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: And I you know, I do that in part just

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: for magazine work, and I do it in part just

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: to build out some ranks. But then the thing that

54
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: really gets me changing my my actual position ranks is

55
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: when I start diving into Best Ball drafts and and

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: I realized that, like i might have Josh Jacobs here,

57
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: but I'm always veering away from Josh Jacobs right. And

58
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: then I realized, Okay, I got I gotta drop this

59
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: guy because I'm not I want my I want my

60
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: ranks at any given moment to reflect the way I

61
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: would actually draft, And so I might project it all

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: out one way. But if I'm if I'm never behaving,

63
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: if I'm never taking those ranks into a draft and

64
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: actually following them, then I know I got to do

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: some work, uh and so, and so it's like it's

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: probably in that in the six weeks or so after

67
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: I come out with the with the initial projections, that

68
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: I that I really start shuffling up the ranks based

69
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: on what I actually do, Like when when o' clock

70
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: is ticking down in a draft, and we'll learn a

71
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: lot more about how you value players than you will

72
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: from simply projecting. You know, I think that's interesting too,

73
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: because you know, I would love and I'm sure there's

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: somebody out there who has done these, like doing a

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: mock draft where everybody has like fifteen seconds right, and

76
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: it forces you to sort of work under pressure. And

77
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: I you know, I say this as the guy who

78
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: I always say my my tight end draft strategy, for instance,

79
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: is either to reach early and pay up for one

80
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: of those top tier guys, or wait until you know

81
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: the end and try to grab a guy with upside.

82
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: But then in reality, what happens is I get to

83
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: like the eighth round and the clock is running down,

84
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: and I grabbed my gasiki, and then I feel like

85
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: what I do? Like why did I do this? Um? So,

86
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: you know you're saying that makes me think maybe we

87
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: all do a mock draft with like fifteen seconds on

88
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: the clock, and it really forces you. Okay, okay, let's

89
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: let's figure out what we're doing and let's make some

90
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: quick decisions now. To give you an idea, I think

91
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: of who you really like versus who you maybe talk

92
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: yourself into. Oh, I love it. It's like speech chess.

93
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: I also kind of like, I'm I'm I think I'm

94
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: scared to do it, but I kind of like the

95
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: idea of a draft in which you're not allowed any

96
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: resources whatsoever. Right, Like it's a it's a tight clock

97
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: and we're just sitting here and you've got to remember

98
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: who's been taken, and you've got to remember roughly what

99
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: the ranks are, and you've got nothing in front of you. Wow,

100
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: that's uh. I've never done it. I'm too much of

101
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: a coward to do. Well, here's the I would do

102
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: it as a mock. Don't ask me to play that

103
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: league out because I think about it. Um, So you

104
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: talked about you know what you look at in the

105
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: off season. How much do you pay attention to O

106
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: T A Reports? Oh? Yeah, another good question, because we

107
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: have to comment on it all the time, right to

108
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: the extent to which I actually will change my player

109
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: values and ranks. It's it's got to be based on

110
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: something negative, right, because this is just the time of

111
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: year when it's just all sunshine everywhere about every player.

112
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, like every running back looks like a three

113
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: down guy who's going to catch more passes this year,

114
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: and every fringe e tight end is a breakout candidate,

115
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 1: and like all the rookie quarterbacks are really quick studies.

116
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: They're all picking it up really well. And so like

117
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: negative information stands out more than anything else because I

118
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: expect it to be just all you know, sunshine, rainbows,

119
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: unicorns about all players. But you know when when like

120
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: if you tell me that Antonio Gibson is still having

121
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: problems with his with his toe, that that gets my attention.

122
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: You know, any any negative injury information, any negative information

123
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: about a player at all, uh is going to interest me.

124
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: But anything positive is just that's what we should expect.

125
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: That's that's this time of year, that's exactly what we

126
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: ought to be hearing. We ought to be hearing the

127
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: j K. Dobbin is going to catch fifty passes because

128
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: like everything is possible in in June and July and

129
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: then things become impossible once we get into the actual season. So, um,

130
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: good news goes right past me and bad news I'm

131
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm pretty clued in on Is that just because of

132
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 1: the general pessimistic nature of what we do. Yeah, um,

133
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: we're like and I I started, uh, but you know,

134
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: my initial projections, initial ranks, and I haven't really come

135
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: down on Antonio Gibson that much. I was just trying

136
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: to come up with a piece of bad news that's

137
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: been out there, and that's one of them, right, Like,

138
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: like I still like him theoretically, but it is worrisome

139
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: that we're even talking about anything remotely negative about a

140
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: player when it's when it's May and June. That's um

141
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: that that's a little bit of a concern. So yeah,

142
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: we just we spend you know, months trying to trying

143
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: to poke holes in all these great plans that we

144
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: that we lay out early on. I should I should

145
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: also say that if if I if I read that

146
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: somebody is hashtag best shape of his life, they automatically

147
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: go up a tier, maybe two tiers. I'm gonna say,

148
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean, like, where do you come down on the

149
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, photos of players who obviously have just stepped

150
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: out of the gym after leg day. I mean, you know,

151
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: when Mike Davis has has at least one enormous quad,

152
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: that's really do anything for me, you know which, By

153
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: the way, I so I think last week, uh, either

154
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: the Bears or Allen Robinson put out a video of

155
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: him like working out in training and like resistance bands

156
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: or whatever. Um. And so I waited a week and

157
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: I went back to look at his a DP and um,

158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: it didn't shift significantly, but there was a definite upward

159
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: tick on the trend line after the one week after

160
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: the video. And so I'm I'm starting my own theory

161
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: that that there is an a DP boost when guys

162
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: put out I hate to watch a lot of that

163
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: stuff because it just makes you feel terrible about yourself. Right, Like,

164
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: like I think I had a pretty good quarantine workout

165
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: routine going on, right Like I was. I was doing

166
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: the same sort of prison workouts that a lot of

167
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: people were, Like you see Derrick Henry is doing, and

168
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: you're like, oh man doing like space age work. It's like,

169
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: I have no idea what some of these guys are doing.

170
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: It's insane, um, all right, So that that actually is

171
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: a good transition to hype train or smoke screen because

172
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: you talk about the good news bad news thing that

173
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: you sort of take into account. But these are stories

174
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: where coaches maybe say a thing and maybe we buy

175
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: into it and maybe we don't. The first one, uh,

176
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: knowing that you are a Bears fan, that is your

177
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: lot in life, and for that, I do offer some condolences.

178
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: Um Mattnegie came out recently and said Andy Dalton is

179
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: the starter. He's their starting quarterback. That's what they are

180
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: going with. Are you buying this? Are you? Are you

181
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: drafting accordingly? Or you say to hell with it? And

182
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just draft Justin Fields anyway. Well I'm to

183
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: answer the last part first. Yes, I'm gonna go ahead

184
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: and draft Justin Fields anyway. I do think, like, I

185
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: don't think it's a lie when when he's talking about

186
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: week one, I just don't think that Andy Dalton is

187
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: like the locked in starter for the full season. I

188
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: think that's pretty ridiculous. And you I like quarterbacks that

189
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: get drafted as high as Justin Fields was drafted, and

190
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: when you actually, you know, spend some some future draft

191
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: capital to do it, like he's gonna he's gonna play.

192
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: He's he's gonna play a bunch that the city will

193
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: riot if he's not playing by October, right, Like that's

194
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: just gonna happen. Everybody was. Everybody was ready for the

195
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: Justin Fields era as soon as they as soon as

196
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: they made the trade and before they made the pick, right, Like,

197
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: we're ready for Justin Fields to take over. But I

198
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: also don't think that they want to feed him to

199
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: the Rams in Week one. Like the opening schedule for

200
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: the Bears is a little bit of a minefield. It's

201
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: it's the Rams and then in some order it's the

202
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: Bengals and Browns, and like there's a path for the

203
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: Bears to start, Like, I think the Bears are pretty

204
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: good team. You know, I thought coming into the season

205
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: they were a pretty good team outside of the quarterback position,

206
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: which is obviously as important as it gets. UM, there's

207
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: a pretty clear path for that team to start, like

208
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: O and two or one and two, and at that

209
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: point Justin Fields is definitely playing. UM. It would be

210
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: shocking to me if they get out to a three

211
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: and oh start when they're facing you know, the Rams

212
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: and the Bengals and the Browns. I don't think that's

213
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen. So basically, first loss of the season, I'm

214
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: expecting to see Justin So basically your your comment on

215
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: Matt Nage is to quote the ancient philosopher George Costanza,

216
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: it's not a lie if you believe it right here,

217
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: right Like, what else is he gonna say? I mean,

218
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: I also don't think that they that they that they

219
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: believed they would be in a position to to even

220
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: make a move for Justin Fields right like when they

221
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: brought an Andy Dalton. I think they really legitimately thought, okay,

222
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: where this is just We're stuck with this. This is

223
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: what it's going to be. It's not great. Um, maybe

224
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: he can land this plane and we still find a

225
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: way to nine or ten wins something like that. But

226
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't like they didn't sign him with any enthusiasm,

227
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: and I don't think they saw a path to getting

228
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: Trey Lance or Justin Fields or anyone like that, so

229
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: they stumbled into it. It's great. I'm glad they still

230
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: did it, um, but I do feel like they they're

231
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: locked into Andy Dalton at least for a week. Um. Similarly,

232
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: do you feel the same way about Trey Lance in

233
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco that that it's it's Jimmy g to start

234
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: and eventually Lance takes over there. Um, I don't. I

235
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: won't say that I have my finger on the pulse

236
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: of the miners in the same way that I do,

237
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: because like I'm on you know, Bears message boards and

238
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: stuff like that all the time, right like I'm I'm

239
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: I'm in the muck with with like meathead fans, uh

240
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: where the Bears are concerned. I I don't think that

241
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: there's much to a lot of this depends on what

242
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: Trai Lance actually does during camp and what he does

243
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: during preseason. Like I think the Bears are pretty locked

244
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: in on Andy Dalton week one regardless, I think Trai

245
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Lance probably has a better shot to play himself into

246
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: into Week one than Fields does. Um. And that's not

247
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: you know, I think that I think the two are

248
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: very similar in terms of in terms of projection for

249
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: a full season. Um, but I think the Niners are

250
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: probably a lot more comfortable with what they have with Garoppolo, um,

251
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, for for better or worse. Right, Like he's

252
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: not I mean, he's still the guy that missed the

253
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: throw in that Super Bowl. And I don't think they

254
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, I think it'd be a disaster, you know,

255
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: likelihood if he's quarterbacking the team at the end of

256
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: the season. I think they want to get to Trai Lance. Um.

257
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: So I think it's a similar situation, but I would

258
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: give Tree Lance a better shot at starting the opener. Yeah,

259
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: I think. I think for fantasy, I think everybody approaches

260
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: both situations the same way, where people are drafting Fields

261
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: and Lance and not so much Dalton and Garoppolo. Um,

262
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: with the anticipation that at some point both those guys

263
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: are going to be starting. It's just it's more a

264
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: matter of when, I think than if for for both

265
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: of those guys. Um. A J. Green was talking about

266
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: how excited he is to be in Arizona, how he's

267
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: so excited to play with DeAndre Hopkins and you know

268
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: how they can be so dangerous with you know, him

269
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: and Nuke and Christian Kirk, who I've pretty much let

270
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: go of the rope on because I can't do it anymore. Um.

271
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: But do you have a belief that that A J.

272
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: Green is going to bounce back in Arizona? Is that

273
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: that hype? Is that smoke? Where where you fall on

274
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: that one? Yeah? I gotta admit that I I'd pretty

275
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: much missed this hype until I saw your notes for

276
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: the show and I was like, Wow, really we're doing

277
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: A J. Green again? Huh? I mean are we? I

278
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: don't know, has some thing he you know, I can't

279
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: like vintage A J. Green is obviously great, and that

280
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: guy is not coming back right, Like I would hope

281
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: that everybody can agree that we're just not going to

282
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: get like eighty five or ninety catches and yards out

283
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: of A J. Green or anything like that. And he

284
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: had he had so like Burrow gave him so many

285
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: good chances last year, I thought, like chances to make

286
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: the sort of highlight plays that A. J. Green routinely

287
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: made in his prime. Um, put the ball on his hands,

288
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: gave him opportunities for like touch like tough catches in

289
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: the end zone. But but gave him chances, and he

290
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: dropped most of them. And I think he ended up

291
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: with forty some catches on a hundred plus targets, which

292
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: is obviously terrible. But he's but he's been great. Um,

293
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: he's not so old that I would say, Okay, you're done,

294
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 1: you're cooked. You have to walk away from the game. Um,

295
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: I can see him stringing together a couple of seasons

296
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: that kind of look like what Emmanuel Sanders has done lately.

297
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he won't do it in exactly the same way,

298
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: but you know, can he settle into being like a

299
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: fifty five to sixty five catch, you know, seven fifty receiver.

300
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: I think he can, And if that has value in

301
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: your league, then you can think about him. But like

302
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: a J. Green's chances of hitting you know, eleven yards,

303
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: twelve hundred yards, that's I think that's over. Yeah, I

304
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: would agree with that. I you know, I don't even

305
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: know where to fall. I I still love Nuke. I

306
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: don't know that I love him where he's going in drafts,

307
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: just because there are so many more weapons there. Um,

308
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're going to spread the football around. I

309
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: have been sort of out on a J. Green. Um,

310
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: But I do think at the right spot, I do think,

311
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, and I guess that applies to everybody, but

312
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: I definitely have the right spot in that offense. I

313
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: do think there's something there, you know, maybe he slots in.

314
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: It kind of gives you a little bit a little

315
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: bit more than what we've gotten out. Larry Fitzgerald the

316
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: last few years in that offense too, So maybe that's

317
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of something to keep in mind. Um, Sammy

318
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Watkins reportedly has been Baltimore's best receiver in training game

319
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: or an O t A s Again, this is a

320
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: positive O t A story, So maybe we take this

321
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: with like a whole shaker of salt. But uh, in

322
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: a summer that has revolved around people being excited about

323
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman and being optimistic about Marquis Brown, uh, is

324
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: it Sammy Watkins the guy that we should be paying

325
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: attention to? Um? At some level, I feel like we

326
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: should be paying attention to all of these guys. And

327
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: I think there's a decent chance that you know, Watkins, Bateman,

328
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: Brown all finished relatively close to each other in terms

329
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: of receptions and yards like that's not that's not crazy

330
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: to me, and that they end up only separated in

331
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: fantasy terms by by touchdowns, like that's very much in play.

332
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: And like, you know, I realized that Watkins has become

333
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a punchline, but he's he's been

334
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: a nice player, like like like his career is gonna

335
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: end and we're gonna look back and be like that

336
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. I mean, he's been a thousand yard receiver.

337
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: He's still only twenty years old, so he's not like

338
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: it feels like he's been around forever. It feels like

339
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: we've lived our whole lives with Sammy Watkins. But but

340
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: he's not that old um, and he used to Actually,

341
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: you do the Hollywood Brown stuff better than Brown has

342
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: ever done it in the NFL, Like Sammy Watkins. You know,

343
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: six years ago was was a thing. Um, Can you

344
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: get back to being exactly? Like? I don't think he's

345
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a thousand yard receiver for Baltimore, And I

346
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a very difficult Like I

347
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: think clearly safest way to invest in this offense is

348
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: or at least in this passing game is going to

349
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: be lamar Um. I think it's gonna be a fun

350
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna take a lot of deep shots,

351
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: a lot of high yield opportunities, and and those can

352
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: go to all three of these all three of these receivers.

353
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I think you can have a

354
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: good year. I hate to talk about everybody in the

355
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: terms that they're gonna all look like Emmanuel Sanders or

356
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: something like that. But I think I think Watkins is

357
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: another guy who can have one of those seven hundred

358
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: eight hundred yards seasons if he stays healthy, um, with

359
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: a couple of you know, splash plays along the way.

360
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: I think that's very much in play. I love Lamar

361
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: this season. I mean we should love Lamar pretty much

362
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: every season he's healthy, and I love Lamar right now. Um,

363
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, in a way, I can. I can

364
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: see Sammy Watkins finishing very close to the other two

365
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: guys that we're really excited about. And he's clearly going

366
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: to be the draft out you right, Like, nobody's gonna

367
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: reach for Sammy Watkins in in any round at any price.

368
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: So he is definitely the guy that you can get

369
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: in the last round. Who I think if you're in

370
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: a if you're in a deep league, you're in a

371
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: you're in a spot that has many flexes, many open

372
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: receiver spots, right, I think I think Sammy Watkins is

373
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: going to be very much in play. So what one?

374
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I've given you a couple of you know,

375
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: quote unquote old wide receivers. So the fact that you

376
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: compared them Demmanuel Sanders maybe not completely terrible yum. The

377
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: other thing, though, you talk about, you know, all three

378
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: of these guys being bunched together in terms of production,

379
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: which I think is certainly possible. My concern is that

380
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: there's sort of a cap on their production just because

381
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: of the nature of that passing game. Because even as

382
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: much as you know, Greg Roman and everybody there talks

383
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: about wanting to have more balance and wanting to throw

384
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: the football more, this is still gonna be, I think,

385
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: primarily a run based offense. And now you're talking about

386
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: spreading those targets between three wide receivers and a tight

387
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: end because Mark Andrews is still going to get his

388
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: So you know, I think I think that's sort of

389
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: the the asterisk on this for me is that they're

390
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: all going to be kind of close, but they're all

391
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna be sort of at the same time. That's why

392
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: that's sort of why that's why I can't get excited

393
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: about Rashad Baitmn. I watched him. I think he's super talented,

394
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: super great, but I just think he's going to be

395
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: sort of limited because that's just the nature of the

396
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: offense he plays in. Yeah, No, I think I think

397
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: that's totally right there they're pretty clearly gonna lead the

398
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: NFL in rush attempts again, right because you you you

399
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: have to with Lamar Like it's it makes too much sense.

400
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Lamar has been a like a six yard

401
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: per carry guy. He's in my opinion, he's the regardless

402
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: of position. Like, there's not a running back that I

403
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: think is more thrilling when the with the ball in

404
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: his hands than Lamar Jackson. So like, Lamar gotta run.

405
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: He's given us a thousand rushing yards and back to

406
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: back years, and if he stays healthy, he's gotta run.

407
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: So I think there's almost no question they're gonna they're

408
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: gonna be imbalanced in the direction of running the football.

409
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: They should be. They're great at it that Nope, nobody

410
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: is this good at it. They can overwhelm teams um,

411
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: and I think we're going to be dependent on long

412
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: touch downs from all these guys, which is not a

413
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: is not an easy thing to bank on week to

414
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: week because like Andrews is the red zone guy, and

415
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: that there's nobody else here who's just a prototypical red

416
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: zone you know, inside the ten sort of receiver. So

417
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: I think that's basically right, Like we're gonna have a

418
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: tough time guessing which Baltimore receiver is gonna pop week

419
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: to week. So as you were talking, I just came

420
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: up with a nickname for the wide receiver Corps. They're

421
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: the the best Baltimore Ravens. You should trade mark it

422
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: right away, and I'm gonna put sure that that is

423
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: associated with you and not don't let anybody steal that

424
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: from That's really good. That's really good. Alright. So now

425
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: let's get some some either oars. I just put together

426
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: some guys who are similar in in their draft a

427
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: dps may be similar in production, but the guy that

428
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: you would prefer to have over the other. So the

429
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: first one, let's say you're sitting at number three in

430
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: your draft, right, three or four? Uh, McCaffrey's gone, Uh,

431
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is gone. Uh think the number four, right,

432
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: Derrick Kinry's gone, Alvin Tamara or se Kwon Barkley. Which

433
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: one would you rather than? Why? Yeah, it's it's tough

434
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: because they you know, they both have some like each

435
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: each player has one obvious red flag, right, and with

436
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: Kamara it's it's what is the quarterback situation? With Barkley,

437
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: it's what is the you know, what is the health

438
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: of his knee, And we're gonna learn that as we

439
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: get deeper into the into the summer. Like again, right now,

440
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: it's all sunshine, right, Like, Barkley's ahead of everybody's ahead

441
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: of schedule, and Barkley at they're all ahead of schedule.

442
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: So assuming that's true, and we're drafting like for keeps

443
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: and it's it's August, and I feel pretty good about

444
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley, I'm gonna end up taking Sa Kwan

445
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: because he's he's the guy who I mean, they can

446
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: both reach ninety receptions. We've seen Sae Kwon do it.

447
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: We've seen Sa Kwan have the two thousand scrimmage yard season,

448
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: and I like, I'm not I'm not so petrified of

449
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: an A. C. L recovery that I that I don't

450
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: think he can get back to being the player that

451
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: he was. Shoot, if he's percent of the player he was,

452
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: of the player he was, he was like he was

453
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: like a mutant superhero level athlete, you know, a couple

454
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: of years ago. So that's fine, It's probably gonna be

455
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: Barkley for me. I just I have so much quarterback

456
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: anxiety regarding camera that I just I just can't get

457
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: past it. Like we like, I mean, we all remember

458
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: that he was he was on pace to break the

459
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: single season reception record for a running back last year,

460
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: and then and then Taysom Hill enter the entered the scene,

461
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: and it was just you know, that was over. It

462
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: was I want to say it was six targets, maybe

463
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: seven targets in his first three games with Taysom Hill.

464
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: So that's out. There is a possibility. I don't believe

465
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: that Jamis Winston ever wants to throw the ball to

466
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: a running back. I'm sure he would if he's the quarterback,

467
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: right like I think he threw a bunch to Charles

468
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Sims way back at the day. But like the most

469
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: recent version we've seen of Jamis is not terribly interested

470
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: in in throwing short So I just I have a

471
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: lot of anxiety about that situation. I mean, I think

472
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: he can be great. I think he can give us,

473
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: you know, another fourteen hundred yards fifteen hundred yards um,

474
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: but but I really worry that that he's not going

475
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: to hit that eight catch threshold and we need it

476
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: because we know they're not going to give them two

477
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 1: hundred carries they've never done. Yeah, that's the other part

478
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: of that too. And I think I think the quarterback

479
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: situation is the one thing that sort of colors a

480
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: lot of our a lot of how we feel about

481
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: the Saints. I guess Michael Thomas seems like he's the

482
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: only one who's sort of immune to this because he'd

483
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: been okay last year when Taysom came on the field

484
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: and they still found ways to get Thomas the ball.

485
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: But my my biggest fear, and I keep saying this,

486
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: is that Sean Payton, who obviously hates our fantasy teams,

487
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: who actively hates our fantasy teams, is going to go

488
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: with sort of a two quarterback system where they you know,

489
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: they use Jamis sort of between the twenties and they

490
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: used Taysom Hill when they get down near the the

491
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: end zone. Um, you know, if they were willing to

492
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: take Drew Brees off the field, why wouldn't they take

493
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston off the field? So that that you know,

494
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: and that that to me is the worst case scenario

495
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: for everybody, like nobody wins in that situation there. Yeah, really,

496
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: the fantasy wise, I feel like the best case scenario

497
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: is actually is probably Tassom, because if Taysom is the

498
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, then we're just gonna get it's just him,

499
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: he's the only guy. But if if Jameis is the

500
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, I mean, they're gonna run taste them out

501
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: there all the time. And as you say, if they

502
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: did it with Drew Brees, they are for sure doing

503
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: it with Jameis Winston. And it's entirely possible that once

504
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: they get inside the ten yard line, Um, it's gonna

505
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: be mostly tastes them. And that's just that's just a

506
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: fantasy nightmare. Not not gonna lie. I have drafted tastem

507
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: late and some mocks just yeah, just because just because.

508
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: Al right, more a couple more running backs. Joe Mixon

509
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: versus Chris Carson. This is this is a good one

510
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: because they are I feel like they're both so severely disrespected,

511
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: and I see I see so many people talking about

512
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: how they're going to run away from Joe Mixon and

513
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: they're just there. They just can't get back on Joe Mixon. Um,

514
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is really good. And it doesn't I feel

515
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: like it doesn't always show up in the in the

516
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 1: year end numbers or in the week to week numbers.

517
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: But man like before Joe Burrow, Um, like you know,

518
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: two years ago, three seasons ago. Um, it just seem

519
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: like a staple of Cincinnati's offense was to was to

520
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: put Joe Mixon in impossible situations behind the line of

521
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: scrimmage and see if he couldn't get three yards out

522
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: of it, right, and he always did because he's really good. Um,

523
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: and so like he'll have these years where you look

524
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: at the you know, you look at him in terms

525
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: of efficiency and it's just over four yards per carry.

526
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: These yards were miraculous, right, Almost everything Joe Mixon did,

527
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: like nineteen was a small miracle. Um, I think he's

528
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: really good, and I'm I'm currently I'm just really infatuated

529
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 1: with the Bengals offense and where it's going to go

530
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: because they played so fast last year with a with

531
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, Like while Burrow was healthy, they were

532
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: right at the top of the league, top three in

533
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: the league in terms of in terms of place per

534
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: game and pace. Um. Burrow was throwing the ball forty

535
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: times a game. Like, it's just gonna be a really

536
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: fun offense if everything stays healthy and they can block

537
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: it just a little bit, and and so I think

538
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: that sets up really well for mixing. But I also

539
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: think both of these guys can can out produce their

540
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: draft position, because man, we keep we're always talking about

541
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: somebody behind Chris Carson on that depth chart, right, whether

542
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: it's Thomas Rawls or Precise or Rashad Penny or whoever,

543
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: Like we're always infatuated with the next Seattle back, and

544
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: then it's just always Chris Carson. So I think I

545
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: think they're both really good players. I think an argument

546
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: can be made for either one. I'm a little bit

547
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: more interested in Joe Mixon right now, all right, I'm

548
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: a little bit more interesting Chris Carson because of like

549
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: the disrespect that always happened, and because of like the

550
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: fact that he falls to the third round and everybody's like,

551
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't want Chris Carson. Didn't catch the football, and

552
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: then when it's all said and done, he's given you

553
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: RB two returns and you know you're not You're not

554
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: necessarily spending quite as much in draft capital to get him.

555
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: I do like your your point about Joe Mixon though,

556
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: having to be sort of superhuman, um and that kind

557
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: of maybe, yeah, when you just look at the numbers.

558
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: It sort of takes away from it because you don't

559
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: necessarily see how much effort goes into it. Although I

560
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: will say the reports so that the Bengals are happy

561
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: with Chris Evans, So now people have found that as

562
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: a new reason to ascount Joe Mixon. So maybe you

563
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: get a better value on him if people were worried

564
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: about Chris Evans. Yeah, I don't. I don't think there's

565
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: another back on that roster that does anything as well

566
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: as Joe Mixon does everything. So I'm not like, you

567
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: know they're there. There was a week there where there

568
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: was a different player note like every day about whether

569
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon would be involved th down or not. Like

570
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: to me, and that's just Joe Mixon is gonna play

571
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: as much as Joe Mixon can play, I think. And

572
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: and it's like, if we want to worry about the

573
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: foot injury from last season, that is that is a

574
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: real thing. But but competition in that depth start that

575
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: just seems that just seems almost impossible to me. Yeah, no,

576
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 1: I get it. I think I think we're all scarred

577
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: because we saw how much will tell you like it

578
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: was nothing, there was nothing worse than you started Joe Mixon,

579
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: and then the Bengals are in hurry up mode and

580
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: it's Joe Bernard out there like catching short passes. But

581
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: maybe you're right, Maybe there is no easy replacement for

582
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: Bernard in this roster, and that make us all feel better?

583
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: Just would um all? Right? In Dallas, Amark Cooper versus

584
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, which seems to be the big fantasy battle

585
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: right now going on with the Cowboys. Yeah, I don't.

586
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: I don't want this to sound disrespectful to Mary Cooper,

587
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: who I think is a really good player, and I'm

588
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: comfortable drafting as well as a wide receiver too. But

589
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean to to me, Ceedee Lamb is the guy

590
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: who could actually end up at the back end of

591
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: the first round next year, right like Ceedee Lamb is

592
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: the guy who could fault into that top five wide

593
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: receiver position for fantasy purposes. And like, we'll reach October

594
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: and we'll be like, oh my god, why weren't we

595
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: drafting Ceedee Lamb right next to right next to Calvin

596
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: Ridley and DK Metcalfolic. I think he's I think he's

597
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: that level talent and and obviously they're they're using him

598
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: all over the formation. Um, people probably don't need me

599
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: to go through like what his on pace numbers were

600
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott last year, but it was it was

601
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: basically Justin Jefferson. He was going to have Justin Jefferson's season,

602
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: perhaps with more touchdowns, right. I mean, I just think

603
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: the ceiling for Lamb is higher. Um, I think that

604
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: it is great, and I've I've tweeted about it before

605
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: and mostly what I tweet is just is just jokes

606
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: and it's just not like not to be taken seriously.

607
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: But one thing you can say seriously is I think

608
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 1: I would actually draft Ceedee Lamb as my as my

609
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: dynasty wide receiver one right now, Like I I see

610
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: a path to a huge season this year. Wouldn't surprise

611
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: me if he finishes with four fifteen hundred receiving yards,

612
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns, Like that's very much in play for Lamb.

613
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: I think he's the guy that I said out of

614
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: that that rookie draft class had the highest overall ceiling.

615
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: I liked Justin Jefferson as the rookie to time to

616
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: kind of have in re draft leagues, but I thought

617
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: Seedee Lamb had the higher ceiling. Uh. And we saw it.

618
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean you didn't, you know, the on paced numbers

619
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: were ridiculous before Dat got hurt, and so I think

620
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 1: we sort of saw that, And now I guess that's

621
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: a piece of good news. We are sort of taking

622
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: the heart. The fact that they're going to move him

623
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: around the formation and use him in different spots. Uh,

624
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: does seem exciting. And I'm sort of with you. Like

625
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper, I think is an excellent player. I also

626
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: think his time in Dallas may be sort of short,

627
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: which completely opens things up for Lamb to kind of

628
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: be that guy, uh the next couple of years. So

629
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm with I'm with you on that one. All Right,

630
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: a DJ battle DJ Moore versus DJ Shark, which which

631
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: DJ is on the ones and twos for you, oh man, um, Yeah,

632
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: but DJ Moore has been an eleven yard receiver with

633
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen and Teddy Bridgewater, which is just which is

634
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: really something like d J Moore has had nothing but

635
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: but I don't want to say trash quarterbacks, but kind

636
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: of trash quarterbacks, right, like his going back to college

637
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: like it was, you know, his his final year of Maryland.

638
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: It was just a parade of guys who should not

639
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: have been playing the position, and he's been like he's

640
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: great with everybody. So that's a really long, kind of

641
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: mean spirited way of saying that, I like Sam Donald

642
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't rattle me, Like this is maybe the best

643
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: quarterback situation that he's that he's had in his entire life,

644
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: and it's Sam Donald, So I don't worry about that

645
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: at all. Um. I think DJ Moore, you can you

646
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: can pencil in, you know, another eleven hundred yards and

647
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: maybe there's a little bit of touchdown luck here. Maybe

648
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, be great if we saw DJ Moore a

649
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: little bit more involved in in red zone work. But

650
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: like the a reasonable projection for DJ more is like

651
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: eleven hundred yards yards, four to six touchdowns something like that,

652
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: and he's very safe. I think DJ Chark is the

653
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: guy that has the much wider range of outcomes. And

654
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: there's been there's been a little bit of Shark slander

655
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: out there, right like just maybe this is just fantasy

656
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: football Twitter, and it doesn't it doesn't trickle out to

657
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. But I feel like people

658
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: prefer schan all. They might prefer Marvin Jones, and Marvin

659
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: Jones has been a really good player. Like as you

660
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: look at that receiving corps, I feel like people are

661
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: less excited about Chart, but he was. He was a

662
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: wide receiver one just two years ago until he until

663
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: they hit late in the season, he had that ankle

664
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: injury and he played through it. And sometimes the worst

665
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: thing that a player can do in terms of like

666
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: public perception is played through an injury, because then we're like,

667
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: what happened to Chark? He must have been, you know,

668
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: must have been not as good as we thought he was,

669
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: but he was, you know, he was playing hurt, and

670
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't great in December of twenty nineteen, but he'd

671
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: been so dominant the rest of the year. He's also

672
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: like even in the NFL, there's there's not a whole

673
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: bunch of guys out there that are like six four

674
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 1: with four three speed. So he has the physical traits

675
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: that that almost no one else does. So this is

676
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: almost a This is one of those situations where like, again,

677
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: if I'm in if I'm in some huge, sprawling league,

678
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: it's a deep league. I've got three receiver spots to fill,

679
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: I've got all these bench spots, are all these flex

680
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: spots to fill. I might feel more comfortable with DJ

681
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: Moore because I just I feel like that's pretty rock

682
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: solid projection on him. I know I'm getting eleven hundred yards.

683
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: I feel really confident in him. Sharp to me is

684
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: the guy that you know, there's there's maybe a three

685
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: percent chance, five percent chance that he just goes supernova

686
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: and has like a fift yard year. There's a lot

687
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: more variables with that offense. We you know, it's new

688
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: coaching staff, new quarterback, knew everything. Um, A little part

689
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: of me thinks he has he has the kind of

690
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: star potential that more does not. So, Man, I'm giving

691
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: you a really long answer here. But if I if

692
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: I'm just looking for a guy that I that I

693
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: think has bankable stats, um, it's more. But if I

694
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: but if I've started my draft with like Tyree Hill

695
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: and Chris Godwin and I already feel like I'm stacked

696
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: at receiver, then I feel like I'd probably take a

697
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: shot with Chark because because his upside is unlike a

698
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: lot of others. All Right, I was like this, I

699
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: am an unabashed labisca chenalt stand. I have been, I

700
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: have been from the beginning. I have doubled down this year,

701
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: so uh, you know, and it's look, it's not because

702
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: I know on Twitter there's like it's either or like

703
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: you don't really get to have nuanced And so because

704
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm of a channult stand that means I'm automatically a

705
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: chart hater. But I can tell you that that's not

706
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: the case. I like d J. Chark, I just like

707
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: chel Moore. Um, so are you in on the Sam

708
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: Donald resurrection tour? Do you think this happens in Carolina

709
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: for him? Um? I am. I have drafted my way

710
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: into a position where I have to say, yes, I've

711
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: I've ended up with Sam Donald, um somewhat unintentionally in

712
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: a couple of best ball dynasty start up. So I

713
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: guess I guess that's I guess that's an endorsement. I

714
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: mean I was. I was speaking earlier about how like

715
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: you really learned who you like and you don't like

716
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: by your draft behavior, and based on that, I have

717
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: to say that I'm a little bit in Um. I

718
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what that looks like, but I like

719
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: can see m Donald reached four thousand yards in a

720
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: seventeen game season with these receivers and this coaching staff,

721
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: and that running back Like, yeah, like that can happen. Um,

722
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: it's not going to be pretty like I don't know

723
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: that it's going to be a quarterback clinic or anything

724
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: like that, but I think the raw numbers can be there.

725
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: So in a in a super flex sort of hedgy way, yes,

726
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: I suppose I'm in on Sam Donald. I certainly think

727
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: that he can support you know, both Robbie Anderson and

728
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: d J. Moore as as viable fantasy receivers. I mean,

729
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: according to Robbie Anderson, he's got a different aura about

730
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: him now in the building. So, um, yeah, take that

731
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, all right. Last one, a couple

732
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks Matthew Stafford versus Ryan Tannehill. I mean I'm

733
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: both Um, I've already drafted them both, so I don't

734
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: have like negative things to say about anybody here. Stafford, Uh,

735
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: Stafford is the guy who you know, coming off thumb surgery,

736
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: had like a medley of injuries last year, right. I

737
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: think it was it was ribs. There may have been

738
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: an ankle, there may have been an elbow, there was

739
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: a thumb. Like you've got some injury worries there that

740
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: that he probably still needs to address in in some

741
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: form this offseason, right like we need to. We need

742
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: to see him fully healthy, fully functional and all that. Um,

743
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean Tannehill here. Uh If if they're both

744
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: on the board and I need a quarterback, I'm gonna

745
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: go with Tannehill. Um. He's on one of the few

746
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: teams that actually has a better you know, number one

747
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: and number two receiver than than the Rams do. So

748
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: I like that UM and Stafford just like the last

749
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: time Stafford I believe the last time he ran for

750
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: a touchdown was UM and Tannehill ran for seven last year.

751
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: And that's obviously that's a little Flukey's probably not gonna

752
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: get there again this year. But one thing that is

753
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: consistent with Ryan Tannehill is is he'll he'll run for

754
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: two d plus yards and he'll probably run for three

755
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: to five touchdowns. Like so that's that's a gap that

756
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: that Stafford has to close on the strength of his arm,

757
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: and he might be able to do it. You can

758
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: probably do it. He's a huge talent all that. UM,

759
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: But I feel a little bit more comfortable with Ryan Tannehill.

760
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: I love that offense. UM that it's not like the

761
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: Titans have this lockdown defense or anything like that. So

762
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna be passing Like I don't. I don't

763
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: feel like it's just going to be entirely the Derrick

764
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: Henry show this year. Obviously he's a miracle worker off

765
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: play action. Umm, I'm pretty excited about Tannahill this year.

766
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: So slightest edge to Tannehill for me. All right, you

767
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: are Correcten was Matthew Stafford's last rushing touchdown he had.

768
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: He had too that year with the Lions. Um, are

769
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: we done with the Ryan Tannehill? I won't say slander,

770
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: but I feel like, you know, fantasy people have generally

771
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: been sort of apprehensive about Ryan Tannehill, and I feel like,

772
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, it took a while for him to sort of,

773
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: you know, wash the Miami stink off of him. Um,

774
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: are you think we're past that now? Do you think

775
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: Julio Jones helps get him over the hump? And now

776
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: we're all on board with Tannehill? Um Man, if you

777
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: weren't on board a couple of years ago when he

778
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: was when he had that miraculous close to the season,

779
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and then and then what do

780
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: you do? Last year was thirty touchdowns. It was again,

781
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: it was seven rushing touchdowns. Like if you're if you're

782
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: not on board after the after the year and a

783
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: half that we've seen from Tannehill, maybe maybe he'll never be.

784
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what it'll take. He wasn't even like

785
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: he had some pretty good spots in Miami too, Like

786
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: he wasn't. It wasn't a total face plant for him

787
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: in Miami right like he was. He was in that

788
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: streaming discussion, uh more weeks than not. So I'm I'm

789
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: certainly in on Tanna Hill. I don't know if the

790
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: entire community is, and that he's probably not going to

791
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: get the past volume that that stafford will and we

792
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: may not feel as as comfortable in the in the

793
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: coaching situation as we do with the Rams. But man,

794
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: that guy couldn't have done more over the over the

795
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: last year and a half to set aside any concerns

796
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: that you may have had about him early in his career.

797
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I I agree, I shouldn't say the stink

798
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: of Miami he was, you know he was he was.

799
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: He was average in Miami. He was not a stud,

800
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: but you know, he wasn't you know completely as you said,

801
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: it was not a face plant there. But I just

802
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, people look at him and think, yeah,

803
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: what he did was good. I just I have felt

804
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: just sort of this apprehension that people weren't totally all in.

805
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: But I feel like that's changing now. Like, you know,

806
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: it's amazing what getting a guy like Julio Jones can

807
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: do right for your offense. But I feel the one

808
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: thing about his twenty nineteen season is it was almost

809
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: too good, right, Like you were like he was he

810
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: was the most screaming regression candidate that you could possibly

811
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: come up with, because like he was, you know, he

812
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: was like he was like ten yards per attempt or

813
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: so over nine yards per attempt, just ridiculous rate staff

814
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: that we've never seen from Ryan Tannehill at all. Seemed

815
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: like a house of cards that was going to crumble,

816
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 1: and then and then he backed it up. Like last

817
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: year was a really solid consolidation year I thought for him.

818
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: So even if you thought it was all just going

819
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: to go to you know, it's all smoke and mirrors

820
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: two years ago, I think I think last year really

821
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: a laid a lot of those concerns. Yeah, I would

822
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: agree with that, So all right, before I let you go,

823
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: I like to do just some some rapid fhio general fun,

824
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: non fantasy topics. But you are a Chicago guy, um

825
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: your top three hot dog toppings? I am um, Man,

826
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of good things to say

827
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: about hot dogs. And I'm not like, I'm not like

828
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: like some super healthy eater right like I will, I

829
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: will enjoy some not good for you food like you

830
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 1: give me play to wings. I'm all over the plate

831
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: of wings, like I'm not. I'm not that guy, um,

832
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: But man, I mean, what are hot dogs? Are like

833
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: entrails and sawdust? Right? Delicious? They are delicious largely because

834
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: of the toppings, in my opinion, And so you want

835
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: the highest possible ratio of topings to hot dog. I

836
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: think so like, let's put a let's put a whole

837
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 1: Caesar salad on there, Let's put it in a bread bowl,

838
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: Let's let's put some French toast on that. But like

839
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: anything you do to a hot dog is gonna is

840
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: gonna make the experience better and is going to make

841
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: it healthier for you. So like there's there's nothing that

842
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: can't go on a hot dog. In my opinion, I'm

843
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: not one of those like don't like catch up touch

844
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: a hot dog that there's nothing you can do to

845
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: a hot dog that doesn't make it better. Um, you

846
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta drown that thing. Um When I when

847
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: I think of the traditional toppings on a Chicago hot dog,

848
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: though the favorites are I don't even know what to

849
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: call those little those little those tiny little peppers that

850
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: look like they might be radioactive. Um, those are really good. Okay,

851
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: they get a nice yeah, the also radioactive looking relish

852
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: gives it a gives it a nice little there's a

853
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: nice touch here to that that I like. And then

854
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: the you know, put put all of the tomato wedges

855
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: on there, like I think there's usually like three or

856
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 1: four tomato wedges on there. I need those on there too.

857
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: I don't always like the pickle, but again going back

858
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: to my role of you can put anything on a

859
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: hot dog and make it better, like the pickles fine

860
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: as well. Alright, alright, I really didn't know I was

861
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: going to sparks such a reaction, but I'm glad. I'm glad.

862
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad we've gone down. I feel like I have

863
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: a problematic take on hot dogs. There used to be

864
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: a place UM called Hot Dougs that was like a

865
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: um weird location, but it would get this hour long

866
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: line at lunch, right, and that guy was like he

867
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: was like a genius with encased meat and it was

868
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: there was a super high quality. And I used to

869
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 1: like his stuff a lot, and now like now that

870
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: that's out of my life and it's just nothing but

871
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: the standard issue Vienna hot dogs. I'm I'm generally out

872
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: unless you're a child. If you're a child, they're fine.

873
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: Next time you come to l A, we'll go to

874
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: we'll go to Pink's and we'll see if we can

875
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: rekindle a love of hot dogs for you. I'm saying,

876
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: I'm I'm willing to I'm willing to hit that. Yeah,

877
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: all right, all right. So in honor of there was

878
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: a reporter who lost in fantasy football and had to

879
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: spend the twenty four hours in a waffle house and

880
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: he live tweeted his whole experience, which I think he

881
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: polished off seven waffles to cut down his time. Uh,

882
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: is there a restaurant chain you would be willing to

883
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: been twenty four consecutive hours in? I feel I could

884
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: do twenty four hours straight in almost any diner in America,

885
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: like all the way down to Denny's quality. I feel

886
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I could hit um. I don't know

887
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: what all of my diner chains are, but I feel

888
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: like I could do that. Like I'm really at home there.

889
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: We we used to have in high school, Like at

890
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: the end of a long weekend evening, we would always

891
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: hit this this place called Wags, uh it was. It

892
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: was called Wags, and it was maybe in Carroll Streem, Illinois,

893
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: and we would just always end our nights there like

894
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: two am. And like you're seeing the worst of humanity

895
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: at most diners at two am, right, But it's like

896
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 1: I was comfortable there that they had some delicious breakfast

897
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: entrees that you could that you can knock back at

898
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: two am, unlimited coffee, like I feel like I could do.

899
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: I could. I could probably do forty eight hours in

900
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: most diners. Honest. Wow. That's not not to brag or anything,

901
00:41:55,040 --> 00:42:00,040
Speaker 1: but I mean, look, I have an unhealthy fascination with

902
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: waffle House because you know, I grew up in California

903
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: and we don't have them. So whenever I go to

904
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: a place that has them, like I'm making a point

905
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: to eat there. So I felt like twenty four hours

906
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: in a waffle house would be fun. But like watching

907
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: this guy agonized over his twenty four hours um and

908
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: stared literally into the waffle void made me sort of

909
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: rethink my life. So I don't know, Yeah, I feel

910
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: like I could really enjoy two waffles, but like once

911
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: you like, I understand the idea that if I just

912
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,479
Speaker 1: eat nine of these things, then I'm I'm you know, hey,

913
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: that's that's taking a lot of hours off my day.

914
