1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: Wow, Hey there everybody. It is Wednesday, March eighth, twenty 2 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: twenty three. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where 3 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: we're willing to make Lamar Jackson an offer to be 4 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: your man. MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio, 5 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: and we're in studio again. Somebody's we got some specialists 6 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: over there on the other side. He always appreciate you 7 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: guys hanging out with us. I always appreciate you guys listening. 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: We got plenty to talk about. Florio. You know, the 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: Combine just ended. Free agency starts in exactly a week, 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: so I feel like we haven't even had a chance 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: to catch a breath yet at this point. No everyone, 12 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you get this as well. All 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: the time people are like, so, what do you do 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: nowadays that the season's over. I'm like, well, there's still 15 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: plenty of stuff keeping us busy right now, between the Combine, 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: free agency, the draft. After the draft, you get to breathe, 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: you get to breathe a little bit. I keep telling 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: people who aren't involvedolved in this that the NFL offseason 19 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: nowadays is like six weeks long. It's pretty much from 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: June first till about July fifteenth, you get past you 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: may or whatever you have rickey mini camps and stuff. 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: June things sort of slow down. In July fifteenth is 23 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: about when training camps start to open, So that's six 24 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: weeks for those of us who work here that you 25 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: know that that is the time when everybody flees from 26 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: NFL media. They try to take vacations and get out 27 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: of town for a little bit to sort of recharge 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. We got a lot 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: to talk about because there's been a ton of news 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: that's happened since we last talked to you. Of course, 31 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: the Combine took place in Indianapolis over the weekend. We'll 32 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: dive into that a little bit. Plus we'll finish our 33 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: look at free agency, as I mentioned that starts in 34 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: a week. We'll take a look at the pass catcher's, 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: wide receivers and tight end I'm gonna be honest with you, 36 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of names out there, but not a 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: lot of them that are necessarily going to be of 38 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: immediate fantasy relevance. So we'll take more of a holistic 39 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: look at the wide receiver tight end position as opposed 40 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: to into necessarily a whole bunch of individual names. On 41 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: the flip side, it means we are sort of shelving 42 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: Florio's Film Festival for a couple of weeks. We got 43 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: plenty of news to talk about today. Next week, we 44 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: will have a show later in the week for you 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: because of free agency, where we'll try to catch up 46 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: on a lot of the signings that have happened. What 47 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: that means for fantasy relevance. So if you were interested 48 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: and excited about hearing us talk about faceoff, I apologize. 49 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: We'll wait a couple of weeks and we'll get back 50 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: to John Travolta and Nicholas Cage shooting at each other 51 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of Griffith Park. That will happen very soon, 52 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: So hold your horses. We will get to that, but 53 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: let's start with a whole bunch of news headlines. We 54 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: do have a little bit of free agent movement already, 55 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: even though the period hasn't officially opened yet. The Saints 56 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: and Derek Carr have agreed on a four year deal. 57 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: I say agreed on because it can't be signed officially 58 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: until the new league year opens. But we knew Derek 59 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: Carr was going to go somewhere after the Raiders decided 60 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: to move on from him, him and he gets the 61 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: bag from New Orleans one hundred and fifty million dollars 62 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: for four years, one hundred million dollars in guarantees. Let's 63 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: just first off, let's just talk about this from an 64 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: actual football perspective, because the NFC South is wide open. Yes, 65 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: the Bucks ended up winning it because somebody had to 66 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: win it last year. But does this make the Saints 67 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: the favorite at this point to win the NFC South 68 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three as of right now? I would 69 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: say I think so. Yes, there's a move that the 70 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons could make if they really wanted to change that, 71 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: but we said they're not. But we'll get into that. 72 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: We'll get to that. I think I think Derek Carr 73 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: is the best quarterback in that division. I think he 74 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: gives them the best chance as of now to win 75 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: that division. That's kind of where I think it stops 76 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: for them. Like Derek Carr hasn't won a playoff game 77 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: in his career. Maybe he could get like a like 78 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: a playoff win. It's funny because with these quarterbacks for 79 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: a real life perspective, now for fantasy, I use Jameis 80 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: Winston as like the barometer and James. It works out 81 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: perfectly here because he was the Saints quarterback. My comparison 82 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: is always like, would I want to give Derek Carr 83 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: all of that money or would I rather sign Jamis 84 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: Winston for a one year deal and reinvest that capital? 85 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: And I kind of think I'd rather go the second 86 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: route here. It's the same thing with other quarterbacks that 87 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: we may talk about, But I think Derek Carr is 88 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: an upgrade from what they had, But I'm not sure 89 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: if he's an upgrade that's worth almost forty million a year. 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: That's sort of the issue is that it is it 91 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: about Derek Carr or is it Derek Carr at the 92 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: money you have to pay him. And let me preface 93 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: it by saying this, I have been very open about 94 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: the fact that I'm always going to be on the 95 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: player's side. Go out and get what you can, get 96 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: your money, win and where you can. So I'm not 97 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: upset at Derek Carr for going out and getting this deal. 98 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: But for the Saints, you are already well over the 99 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: salary cap already. You gotta make a lot of moves 100 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: to sort of get under that. At free agency, hasn't 101 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: started yet. They went into last season with one of 102 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: the oldest rosters in the league. That doesn't necessarily mean 103 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: that they're a bad team, but they are an old 104 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: team and they do have to get younger at some 105 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: point if they want to be competitive. It feels like 106 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: they're sort of putting themselves in football purgatory where they're 107 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: going to be good enough to make a run at 108 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: the playoffs, to win the division, maybe make a run 109 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: at the playoffs, but they're nowhere near good enough to 110 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: go and win a title. Right when you're in the 111 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: NFC and maybe it's not as loaded as the AFC, 112 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: but you still got the Eagles, still got the forty 113 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: nine ers, You've got the Dallas Cowboys. You've got a 114 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: lot of good teams that you are not better than 115 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: right now, and you've sort of handcuffed yourself in terms 116 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: of roster building. That's sort of the part that I 117 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: think would be frustrating to me if I was a 118 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: Saints fan. You were playing to just be good enough, 119 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: and that leaves you in a situation where you never 120 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: really get better. You're just kind of floating out there 121 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: at this point, which is why I use the jamis 122 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: thing because like that's a one year short commitment and 123 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: you could eat I Like, there is something to be 124 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: said for a team like the Saints consistently trying to 125 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: compete and go for it, and if you're a fan, 126 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: you have to appreciate there, like, hey, they're always going 127 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: for it. But if I ran an NFL team, my 128 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: approach at quarterback would be, if we don't have one 129 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: that I feel confident to give a franchise deal with, 130 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep churning and burning until I find one, 131 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: which you know, we've seen the Colts kind of do 132 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and at some point you 133 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: wonder whether or not the Saints decide to make that move. 134 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: Obviously it's not going to be in the next couple 135 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: of years. We'll see how long they decide to ride 136 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: with Derek Carr and what this means for them on 137 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: the field. Fantasy wise, Carr has been for most of 138 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: his career a guy who is sort of a high 139 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: end QB two with occasional QB one outbursts. There's a 140 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: move from Las Vegas to New Orleans change any of that. Nope, 141 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: I am not any more interested in drafting Derek Car 142 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: now than I was when he was a Raider. What 143 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: I think this impacts is the pieces around him even more. 144 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: But for just fantasy, I still think Derek Carr is 145 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: a QB two. He's one that doesn't give you really 146 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: much at all with his legs, So, like you said, 147 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: occasionally he'll have a QB one week, but at the 148 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: end of the year, I feel pretty confident that he'll 149 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: be a high end QB two. I'm kind of with 150 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: you on that. I don't think anything changes for him. 151 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: I think the guys who get a boost. Chris Olave 152 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: is number one on that list of guys who get 153 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: a boost, because this is a guy who was playing 154 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: well last year with a hodgepodge of quarterbacks there in 155 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: New Orleans still found a way to be productive. Was 156 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: mister air yards early in the season. So I think 157 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: getting Derek Carr and getting that stability and getting that 158 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: upgrade definitely helps him. But there are questions. I mean, 159 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara is facing legal issues that might keep him 160 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: off the field for who knows how long. I know 161 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas was tweeting you, thank you Jesus with prayer 162 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: hands after Derek Carr signed but there are questions about 163 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: whether they keep him around. I mean, this is a 164 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: guy who's been beat up the last couple of years, 165 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: has a decent salary, as a little bit older, they 166 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: very well could move on from him. This is an 167 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: offense that doesn't really seem to have a great outlook 168 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, And in fact, I'm of the mindset that, 169 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: like I would be shocked if Michael Thomas is a 170 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: member of the Saints next year. Like it just seems 171 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: to me like that that relationship has kind of ran 172 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: its course. Maybe Derek Carr's coming there changes things for him, 173 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: but he hasn't been very happy. He hasn't been on 174 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: the field as of late. To me, I think the 175 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: biggest winner is, like you said, Chris Olave, because everyone 176 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: could point that Andy Dalton played well last year, and 177 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: he did, but he didn't really throw the ball down 178 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: field much at all, And in fact, most of his 179 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: passes were under ten air yards, not even in the 180 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: intermediate part of the passing games, so a lot of 181 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: just short, quick dump offs. That's why like Jawan Johnson 182 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: became such a thing down the stretch. But Chris Olave's 183 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: numbers clearly got worse when he didn't have a Jamis Winston. 184 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: So to me, I think Derek Carr could kind of 185 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: be a blend of what each of those quarterbacks brings. 186 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: And I think the same thing for like Alvin Kamara, 187 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton last year through twenty one percent of his 188 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: passes in the backfield, Winston was at thirteen. You bring 189 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: in Derek car now who's at nineteen, and you're like, 190 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: all right, he's gonna play the whole year. I think 191 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: that's a good case for Alvin Kamara as long as 192 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara is able to play with the legal issues aside. 193 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: But I think a Lave is the biggest winner because 194 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: we've seen Derek Carr been able to really lift receivers, 195 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: especially the field stretching receivers like Davante Adams still played 196 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: put up great numbers last season. We've seen Amari Cooper 197 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: do it. So I think Alave is the biggest winner. Absolutely. 198 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: So curious to see what the Saints do in the offseason, 199 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: what they attack in free agency, how they handle the draft, 200 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: because I don't think they're done building. The question is 201 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: how do they do it when they're already up against 202 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: it in terms of the salary cap The other big 203 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: news quarterback wise. There's actually a few other headlines quarterback wise, 204 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: but maybe the biggest one of the last twenty four 205 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: hours or so. The Baltimore Ravens placed the non exclusive 206 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: franchise tag on Lamar Jackson. This means that Lamar is 207 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: free to negoti she ate with other teams if he 208 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: can come to a deal. Now, if another team signs him, 209 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: that means they have to give the Ravens two first 210 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: round picks. So there is a little bit more involved 211 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: than just money when it comes to signing Lamar Jackson 212 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: if you are a non Ravens team. The interesting part 213 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: about this maybe has been the number of teams that 214 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: immediately said, you know what, we're out. We're completely out 215 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. I mean, the Falcons maybe being chief 216 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: among them. I was not guaranteeing that he would end 217 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: up in Atlanta, but I really thought that Atlanta was 218 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: going to make a concerted effort to try to bring 219 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: him in, especially after they moved on from Marcus Mariota. 220 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: What does this mean, I mean, do you expect that 221 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is going to end up in Baltimore or 222 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: is there still a chance he goes somewhere else. Right now, 223 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: it feels like the league and everyone is kind of 224 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: trying to handcuff him to Baltimore because all of these 225 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: teams coming out immediately and saying we have no interest 226 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: in a former MVP who is hitting the market at 227 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: twenty six years old makes absolutely no sense to me. 228 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: But that just kind of gives all the power to 229 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: the Ravens. But there's one dark horse team out there 230 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: that I think could still get involved in. Way back 231 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: a couple months ago, when we talked about like landing spots, 232 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: the Falcons we both agreed were a great one. The 233 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: other one I said was Miami, and I still think 234 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: Miami could be in play here. They have not come 235 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe they're one of the teams that said 236 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: they're not interested in Lamar. There already has been rumors 237 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: that if Brady decides he wants to keep playing again, 238 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: that is where he wants to go, which is he's 239 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: saying he's done, he's saying, but there's still, like, you know, 240 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: there's always rumors when Tom Brady wants to potentially come back. 241 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: But Miami, as much as I like to ah, I 242 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: think if they could get a Lamar Jackson, who's from Miami, 243 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: who has made it clear he would love to play 244 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: with Tyreek Hill, and who's Tyreek Hill in them have 245 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: made it clear heat they would love to play with him. 246 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: I think that could be a marriage that makes sense, 247 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: especially because they were already like, we don't have a 248 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: first round pick this year. Who cares like, oh, but 249 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: I don't get the fact that no one wants Lamar 250 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: jack and makes absolutely no sense, none, none, And it's 251 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: it's not even it's like teams haven't even tried, right, 252 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: It's it's that the Ravens put the tag on him, 253 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: and teams just decided, you know what, we're out, We're 254 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of fans this has been 255 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: raging on Twitter for the last twenty four hours or so, 256 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: and there's a school of thought of once because he 257 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: wants a fully guaranteed contract, It's like, all right, it's 258 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: good to want things. It's it's almost like people don't 259 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: understand how negotiations work. You throw out I want a 260 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: as an offer, the other team comes back and says, well, 261 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: we're going to offer you X, and then you work 262 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: your way to a number that is that is acceptable 263 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: to both sides. Yes, he might want a fully guaranteed contract. 264 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: I get it. Teams don't want to do that. By 265 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: the way, thanks Cleveland Browns for screwing this up for everybody. 266 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: Lamar is paying for the sins of the Cleveland brown 267 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: He absolutely is right now. But at some point you 268 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: would think these teams, many of whom need a quarterback, 269 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: would want to sit down and at least talk numbers 270 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: with him and see if there's an opening to come 271 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: to an agreement. The fact that so many teams have 272 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: immediately just said to hell with it, We're not going 273 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: to do it, that is a head scratcher. I mean, 274 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: it's got jj Watt out here tweeting about, you know, 275 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: what the hell is going on, and like I mean, 276 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: people love to just make stuff up, like, oh, he 277 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: can't stay healthy because he runs, except for the fact 278 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: that his injuries have come on passing plays because the 279 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: old line couldn't block for him. And then oh, his 280 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: passing numbers took a dip. I'm not gonna say they haven't, 281 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: but let's see what you guys have. What the Ravens 282 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: have done to help things around Lamar Jackson. They have 283 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, who's a very good tight end. He's not 284 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: like a Travis Kelsey, Rob Gronkowski, you know, build your 285 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: whole offense around him type of time. Very very good, 286 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: but he's not the best of the best of that position. 287 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: Then they had Marky's Brown, who really fit with Lamar Jackson. 288 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: They were childhood friends. They traded him. They drafted Rashad 289 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: Bateman in the first round. He hasn't been able to 290 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: stay on the field. And besides that, they're throwing out 291 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: guys like Willie Snead and DeMarcus Robin and who's who 292 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: of guys off of the street for the entire tenure 293 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson, I don't understand it. They've spent the 294 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: fewest or near the fewest amount of money on offense 295 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: since they've had him. And there's he still averages the 296 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: second most points per game, not Fantasy second, the Ravens 297 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: average the second most points per game in the NFL 298 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: since he's become the starter. Yeah, Rashad Bateman was ment 299 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: too happy on social media about a week ago. The 300 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: tweet was deleted. He deleted the tweet, but I think 301 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: he failed to remember that the Internet is rented written 302 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: in inc. People have screenshot at it. It's floating around 303 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: if you want to see it, So we keep an 304 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: eye on that. We'll see what happens with Lamar. At 305 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,359 Speaker 1: the moment, it is trending toward him staying in Baltimore, 306 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: but stay tuned. Somebody else could swoop in with a 307 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: good offer. Speaking of offers, the Giants have agreed on 308 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: a four year extension with Daniel Jones in the neighborhood 309 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: of about forty million per year. That's the initial sort 310 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: of math on it. We'll see what happens when we 311 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: get to all the little ifs ands and butts about 312 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: the contract and the clauses there. But either way, the 313 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: Giants are throwing the bag at Daniel Jones after he 314 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: put together a career year. So it's a career year 315 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones, right, We're not looking at this and saying, yeah, man, 316 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: this is Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts type numbers. 317 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: These are hey, man, that was really good for Daniel Jones. 318 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: How much better can he really get? And are the 319 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: Giants sort of putting themselves in that football purgatory that 320 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: we talked about with the Saints one hundred percent I 321 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: tweeted it out yesterday, and I'm like you, Marcus, I 322 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: might not think a player. I might be like, hey, 323 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: if I was that team, I wouldn't have given Daniel 324 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: Jones forty million a year. But congrat Like, I'm always 325 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: happy for players when they get paid, Like, good for you, 326 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: Danny Dimes. I hope you took all your old lineman 327 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: and everyone out and had a great time last night. 328 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: This is a lot of money for a quarterback who 329 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: in three straight years has played more games than he 330 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: has touchdown passes. There is a lot of money for 331 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback in the last three years who's averaged twelve 332 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns per game and who career year was thirty 333 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: two one hundred passing yards. Yeah, I guess he ran 334 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: a lot more this year. Seven hundred rushing yards, seven 335 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: touchdowns like that is really useful. That's when we start 336 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: talking about you know, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, like 337 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: those are the only other quarterbacks Jalen Hurts that really 338 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: can give you that kind of numbers with their legs. 339 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: But I need more out of Danny Dimes. I think 340 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: if now, if I'm paying him this much, and the 341 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: issue is like someone tweeted me yesterday and they're like, well, 342 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: how can you say that the Giant because I tweeted 343 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: I said, the ceiling still feels like it's a playoff win. 344 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: Like if they Giants do that next year, that probably 345 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: feels like the best case scenario for them. People were like, yeah, 346 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: well they need to upgrade cornerback and oline and receivers 347 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: like he did it with nothing last year. And I'm like, well, 348 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: that becomes so much harder now when you're giving Daniel 349 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: Jones forty million a year with incentives like so, I 350 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: think for him, he could get better if they get 351 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: better playmakers around him, and he could be a better 352 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: fantasy asset. But for real life purposes, I feel like 353 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: the Giants kind of maxed out last season. It does 354 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: feel that way, and you're right, they do need help 355 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: in so many other places, and they've made it that 356 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: much more difficult by committing so much money to Daniel Jones. 357 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that was sort of the going rate, 358 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: or at least they felt like that was the going 359 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: rate to keep him around there. And again, look, go 360 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: get your money, Daniel Jones. But for the Giants, you've 361 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: kind of put yourself in a situation where you are 362 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: going to be what you have been. They have the 363 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: misfortune of playing in the same division as the defending 364 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: NFC champion and the Dallas Cowboys, who you know, look, 365 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: they won twelve games last year and they're a very 366 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: good team as well. So best case scenario, you're still 367 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: the number three team in your own division and you're 368 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: sort of hoping things break for you to get into 369 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: the play I mean, you needed help to get into 370 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. Could be the case again this year. 371 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is gonna get paid, and good for him. 372 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: The Giants are gonna continue to would have be mid 373 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: I think in the meantime, which gets us to a 374 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: whole bunch of running back news. A couple of those 375 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: guys playing in the NFC East, a few franchise tags 376 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: handed out. The Cowboys tag Tony Pollard, the Raiders tag 377 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, and the Giants tag say Quon. That news 378 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: came out as soon as the Daniel Jones extension came out. 379 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: It was pretty much followed by and the Giants are 380 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: gonna tag say Quon. So of of those three guys, Pollard, Jacobs, Barkley, 381 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: which one are you most likely to draft highest next 382 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: year in fantasy. I think there's a case to be 383 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: made that all three of them are not maybe not 384 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: first round picks just yet, but they all could be 385 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: first round picks when all of a sudden done. At 386 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: the very least, they should all be in the first 387 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: two rounds. I'd go say Quon Jacobs Pollard as of now, 388 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: but that could completely flip. I want to know who 389 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Raiders are going to be. I 390 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: think Josh Jacobs is a really good running back, but 391 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: so much obviously the offense is going to be so 392 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: much impacted by who his quarterback. It's like if they 393 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: bring in Jimmy g and that leads to a lot 394 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: of dumbofs for Josh Jacobs. I could see myself moving 395 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: him ahead of sa Quan and Tony Pollard. Is all 396 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: dictated on what the Cowboys now do with Zeke because 397 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: Zeke is said to be the highest cap hit at 398 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: the running back position, and now you already enfranchising and 399 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: giving Tony Pollard ten million a year now, so do 400 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: they let Zeke walk? Do they restructure with him? I'm 401 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: not sure, but obviously if Zeke leaves, than Tony. It's 402 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: to the moon for Tony Pollard. I might go Jacob's 403 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: number one out of this group, but you're right, the 404 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: quarterback situation will dictate a lot if the Raiders, if 405 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: they don't make a big move, if they don't, if 406 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: they don't somehow get Aaron Rodgers, who I guess now 407 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: has permission to talk to the Jets, if they don't 408 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: somehow swing a deal for Lamar Jackson. I don't know, 409 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: maybe it is Jimmy g in their future, but if 410 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: they don't look like a team that can score a 411 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: lot of points, then that certainly is going to hurt 412 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: Jacob's overall possibilities. You know, I like sae Quon. I 413 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: was thrilled, you know, I kept saying that talking about 414 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: the say Quantissans last year, but it also sort of 415 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: felt like he worked a lot on volume and not 416 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: necessarily explosiveness last season. That sort of works against him 417 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: and Pollard. I would love to put number one, but 418 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, it really is about what happens with 419 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: Zeke contract a side with Elliott. If he just comes back, 420 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: if they work something out and everybody's happy and Zeke 421 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: comes back, what is Pollard's ceiling in that point with 422 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: Zeke or without with Zeke, I think it's probably similar 423 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: to what it was this past year, where he was 424 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: the RB eight and did so on just over two 425 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: hundred touches. If Zeke leaves, I would be okay ranking 426 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: him as high as the RB three overall behind Eckler 427 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,239 Speaker 1: and CMC. I think the upside is that high. But 428 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: if Zeke is there, I think it's top ten running 429 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: back but like RB eight, around where he was last year. 430 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be as comfortable drafting him as like 431 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: the RB eight off the board, if that makes sense. No, 432 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: that makes sense. I mean I think you're talking about 433 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: basically what his ceiling is as opposed to kind of 434 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: the week two weeks within right, You're you would be 435 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: drafting him kind of expecting the week to week to 436 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: be maybe a low end running back one, maybe a 437 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: high end RB two. But the ceiling is definitely squarely 438 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: in that RB one tier. We've seen that with his 439 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: ability as a pass catcher, at the fact that right 440 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: now he is way more explosive than Ezekiel Elliott, So 441 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: I totally understand that. So we I think are sort 442 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: of sitting on pins and Needles waiting to see what 443 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is gonna do. I'll tell you what. Right now, 444 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 1: they have a lot of money tied up in that backfield. 445 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, between tagging Pollard right now, having Zeke on 446 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: his contract, and what they've got with with Dak Prescott, 447 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: they got a lot of money tied up in just 448 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: those three guys. And and I saw it on my 449 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: timeline the other day. I was reminded that basically Jerry 450 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: Jones picked Zeke over Amari Cooper, and it's like, right now, 451 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: you could really use Amari Cooper in that office. They 452 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: picked Zeke over Amari Cooper. And now there's you know, 453 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: rumors maybe they go out and try to trade for 454 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: a guy like DeAndre Hopkins and they try to make 455 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: a splashing free agency at at wide receiver. It's like, 456 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: you you had a guy right there, he was right there, 457 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: you decided you didn't want him anymore. Um, so good 458 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: luck with that. We'll see what happens. But you know, 459 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you one thing. The Cowboys fans will 460 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: celebrate a championship in April, like seems to happen so 461 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: many times. I'm gonna get I'm gonna get some nasty 462 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: mentions about that. Whatever, don't care um some other kind 463 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: of interesting rumors they're going on in Tennessee that the 464 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: Titans might be shopping Derek Henry around. They traded away 465 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: A J. Brown last year, now they might be moving 466 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: Derek Henry. What what will this offense look like? If 467 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: we're talking about Ryan Tannehill throwing to Treylon Burks. I mean, 468 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: there's there's nothing exciting about that. Washed as all, Like 469 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans are, they're paying for all. Like you know, 470 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: they had a good run for a couple of years, 471 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: but so many cap casualties, Taylor Lawan, Robert Woods, Bud 472 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: Dupree might be cut as well, like so many big 473 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: names that they had to let go. And you look 474 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: at at Derek Henry. He's old, ten and a half 475 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: million this year and then that's it, like he becomes 476 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: a free agent. So I think right now Derek Henry 477 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: would be a very appealing asset for another team, even 478 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: though obviously he's a running back. You're not in an 479 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: aging one at that at twenty nine years old this year, 480 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get more than like a third or 481 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: fourth round pick at best, twenty nine years old with 482 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: a lot of weary. Yeah. So like part of me 483 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 1: is like, I understand the narrative, like let's get rid 484 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: of him, let's get what we can for him. But 485 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: the other part of me is like, is a mid 486 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: round pick really worth getting rid of the face of 487 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: your franchise? And it's not like if they had if 488 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: it was like a Zeke Elliott type contract and they 489 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: were like, let's just get rid of it, I'd understand, 490 00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: But it's not. So I talk about him having a 491 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: lot of wear and tear at twenty nine years old. 492 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: I went back to twenty nineteen, which is really the 493 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: start of maybe this really great run that he's been on. 494 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: He has the most carries of anyone in the league. 495 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: And it's not close. I mean it's it's about two 496 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: hundred carries, almost two hundred carries difference between him and 497 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: the next closest player, who I believe I remembers Nick Chubb, 498 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: I think, but it's a Dalvin Cook actually. But it's 499 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: not close at all. And you look at the Titans 500 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: this past year in their running game, Derrick Henry had 501 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: three hundred and forty nine carries. The next closest was 502 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill at thirty four four. Literally, Derrick Henry had 503 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: ten times as many carries as the next closest player 504 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: on that team. He is their running game. So let's 505 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: just say they move on from him. Is there a 506 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: there's there's no Titans running back that we can think 507 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: to target, not on the roster right. The one thing 508 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: which I don't think helps their for moving Derek Henry, 509 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: it would make it easier to replace him, is it's 510 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: a even with the big three names getting franchise, there's 511 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: still a lot of depth at running back available in 512 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: free agency, and there's a deep draft class coming in. 513 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: But that makes it even harder to get a lot, 514 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,719 Speaker 1: like a lot of compensation for him, because teams are 515 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: gonna be like, I can give you something for Derek 516 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: Henry or I could sign a Kareem Hunt. Obviously there's 517 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: a big talent difference there, but like it's just like 518 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: running back is the position that always the talent gets 519 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: downgraded the most. So it really does. And so all 520 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: I can think, I'm just looking I mean free agency, 521 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: we talked about a lot of guys that are out 522 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: there that could really be game changers and come at 523 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: and I think a reasonable price tag. They've got the 524 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: number one, I think the the eleventh pick overall in 525 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: the first round. You're not going to take a running 526 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: back that early. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe round 527 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: two they pick number forty one, that's what the ninth pick, 528 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: eighth pick in the ninth pick in the second round. 529 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: Thirty one picks this year, So yeah, like so something like. 530 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: But anyway, it seems reasonable. Maybe you reach for a 531 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: running back at that point. B John Robinson's going to 532 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: be gone. I can't imagine he's gonna be there. Maybe 533 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: a guy like Jamir Gibbs is still floating around there, 534 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: So maybe it's something they do in the draft. But 535 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: you're talking about a team that has been fairly consistent, 536 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: had a nice run at the playoffs, but now is 537 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: going to look potentially very very different if indeed they 538 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: do make the move to get rid of Derrick Henry. 539 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: Last bit of news, Calvin Ridley has been fully reinstated 540 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: by the NFL. In fact, as we've been recording this, 541 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: I see that he put out a piece kind of apologizing. 542 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: I think in the Athletes Athletes journal I can't remember, 543 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: but Players Tribute. That's what it is. Gambling on football 544 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: was maybe the worst mistake I can make, and really 545 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: sort of owning it, taking responsibility and just apologizing for that. 546 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: So he's back. The Jaguars essentially get a free agent 547 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: without having to put out a whole lot for it. 548 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: What are your expectations though, for a guy that hasn't 549 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: played football in it'll be more than a calendar year 550 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: by the time he steps on the field. I think 551 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: he'll be their wide receiver one, Like, I really do 552 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: believe in the talent of Calvin Ridley that much, And 553 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: kudos to the Jaguars for having the wherewithal to be like, 554 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: this is a bad free agent class and a bad 555 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: drive class we're gonna give up. They gave up a 556 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: fifth rounder this year and a second rounder next year 557 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: to get Calvin Ridley. I think that's a great trade 558 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: for them. But while I think he'll be their most 559 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: productive receiver, this offense, to me, really feels like one 560 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna want Trevor Lawrence, but not so much 561 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: the pass catchers because week to week, I mean there's 562 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, Evan Ingram, and then 563 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: there's Travis etn who could be involved in the past 564 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: game as well. I could see being one of those 565 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: offenses where week to week we truly don't know who's 566 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: going to be the top producer. Ridley being the best 567 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: field chtcher and a good red zone presence is why 568 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: I like him the most. But I could one week Ridley, 569 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: one week Kirk one week Ingram, and then that's why 570 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: you want Trevor Lawrence because he's the benefactor of all 571 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: of it that I think that's going to be the 572 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: consensus here, although I think people are still excited about Ridley, 573 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: and I feel like right now, you know the early 574 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: chatters that he's coming off the board fourth or fifth 575 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: round in a lot of drafts, so people, I think 576 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: still have high hopes for him. The last time he 577 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: played an NFL game October twenty fourth of twenty twenty one, 578 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: week six of that season, so it will have been 579 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: almost two full years by the time the season starts 580 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 1: since Calvin Ridley has played in an NFL game, So 581 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if you see him get off 582 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: to kind of a slow start. But if he if 583 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: and when he gets back up to speed, we remember 584 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: how good he was during his time with the Falcons, 585 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: and I think that exactly is what people are sort 586 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: of banking on. But I do think Trevor Lawrence is 587 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: a huge winner in all of this because this offense 588 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: is going to have so many weapons and we saw 589 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: them the life at the end of last year where 590 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: it looked like the lightbulb came on for Lawrence and 591 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: he was really spreading the ball around. So this only 592 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: helped him. Would you draft him as a top five 593 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: quarterback next year? Probably not top five, but I have 594 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: I keep saying there's a top eight, Like I think 595 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: the top three is Alan Mahomes Hurts, then there's Barrow, 596 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: you can put Lawrence Fields, Lamar Jackson, and I might 597 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: be forgetting someone. But then and to me, like those 598 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: are the quarterbacks that I want to pay up to 599 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: get and I'll take any of them in the first 600 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: six rounds. Random here, I'm just thinking, I'm thinking out loud, 601 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 1: where do you put de Sean Watson in that? He 602 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: was awful last year? Admittedly was awful at the end 603 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: of last year, looked like a guy who hadn't played 604 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: football in a really long time. Hard to believe he 605 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: won't get better and won't get a little bit more comfortable. 606 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: Does he slide into the top ten based on what 607 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: he can be? I think you can put him, oh, 608 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: justin Herbert was the one I was forgot god I 609 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: put in the top eight, Watson would come behind all 610 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: of eight of those. For me, I think Watson belongs 611 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: in this whatever you want to make it, the second 612 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: or third tier, ever you divide the top eight, he 613 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: belongs in there with like Geno Smith, Daniel Jones, Jared Goff. 614 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: I think he is more upside, by far the most 615 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: upside of any of those bunches. So I very well 616 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: might rank him like QB nine after what I say 617 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: is the top eight. But I think there needs like 618 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: he shouldn't be going like right after the top eight, 619 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: Like if you if he goes a few picks after 620 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: Herbert or Lawrence or whoever's the eighth quarterback, to me, 621 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: that would signify him pretty big drop off. I'm curious 622 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: to see how this goes because it only takes one 623 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: person to follow yeah and make that move and reach 624 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: for him. But I think I think Deshaun Watson is 625 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: going to be one of those guys we talk a 626 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: lot about this offseason, just from a football standpoint for 627 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: the moment, We'll leave all the other things aside, but 628 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: just football wise. Football wise, he could easily be one 629 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,719 Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks. I mean, he was before all 630 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: this happened, and there's certainly no reason to think he 631 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: can't get back to what that was again with the 632 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns coming up this year, take a quick break, 633 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: we'll come back. We will dive into the combine and 634 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: give you our look at wide receivers and tight ends 635 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: in free agencies. Still plenty left to do here on 636 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: this edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. So the 637 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: NFL Scouting Combine wrapped up over the weekend in Indianapolis, 638 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: and you and I sort of talked about it briefly 639 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: last week that before the combine wasn't really much to 640 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: kind of focus on. It was like, Hey, how tall 641 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: will this guy be? And how fast will that guy be? 642 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: And there wasn't much actionable. Now we've seen the guys 643 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: go through the drills, go through the testing, all that 644 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: sort of thing, and have an idea of what the hype, 645 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: what the buzz is going to be. Two guys at 646 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: the quarterback position absolutely put on a show. Maybe the 647 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: biggest one was Anthony Richardson, who people thought was going 648 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: to be kind of a raw prospect, was an athletic 649 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: freak when it came to testing forty times all that 650 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: sort of thing. CJ. Stroud was, as advertised, incredibly accurate 651 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: throwing the football. Richardson about a month ago was the 652 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: QB four in this group. You had Bryce Young, you 653 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: had CJ. Stroud, you had Will Levis, and then you 654 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,959 Speaker 1: had Anthony Richardson. Now there's talk that Richardson could be 655 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. That's how much he impressed 656 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: people this past weekend in Indianapolis. When you're talking about 657 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: dynasty rookie drafts right now, who is your QB one 658 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: at the moment for Fantasy it has and always will 659 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: be Anthony Richardson. For me, I just think that I'm 660 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: not high on Will Levis at all. Okay, I think 661 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 1: he is clearly fourth of this bunch. To me, Anthony 662 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: Richardson has the most upside. CJ. Stroud is the safest, 663 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: and Bryce Young is somewhere in the middle. But you 664 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: talk about like, like the best example I could use 665 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: for why Anthony Richardson is my QB one is justin 666 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: Fields from last year he was the worst and it 667 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: wasn't close the worst quarterback in pass EPA last year. 668 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: He threw in a full season for two thousand, two 669 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: hundred and forty two yards and seventeen touchdowns. That's one 670 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: passing touchdown per game, or just about and yet he 671 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: was the QB six overall in the QB five in 672 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: points per game because of what he gave you with 673 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: his legs. And I think Anthony Richardson is even more 674 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: of a runner than Justin Fields could be. He is 675 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: Cam like the second coming of Cam Newton, really is. 676 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: So anything that he gives you with his arm is 677 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: just the cherry on top. Young and Stroud, while I 678 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: think they're right now better real life quarterbacks than Richardson, 679 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: they're both mobile, but they're not mobile in the sense 680 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: that like, hey, we're gonna run for close to a 681 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: thousand yards in the season. They're more like we're gonna 682 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: stretch the play with our legs and keep our eyes 683 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: downfield and look to make a play. But for fantasy purposes, 684 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: you want the guy that can run, which is Anthony Richardson. 685 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: That I think is the reason. I think that's certainly 686 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: the reason teams are excited about him. I think it's 687 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: just the raw collection of talent and the fact that 688 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: they hope they can sort of mold him into something. 689 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: I think it's definitely the reason that people in fantasy 690 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: are super excited about him, because we don't need him 691 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: to be a great passer, not right away. If he 692 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: can rush for eight hundred yards and throw for another 693 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five hundred, you're talking about a guy who's 694 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: a top twelve quarterback right now. And I do think 695 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: that's why. As as I sit here and kind of 696 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: talk myself through it, I mean I was sort of 697 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: leaning towards CJ. Stroud, But as I talk myself through it, 698 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: maybe it is Richardson, Maybe he really is that that 699 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: uld be one for real life. I think right now, 700 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: if you ask me my I think CJ. Stroud is 701 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: probably in the running to be it's him or Young obviously, 702 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: but for fantasy, I think Richardson, yeah, I agree with you, 703 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: Like I think fantasy is different than real life. It 704 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: definitely is different than real life, and I think I 705 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: think I think he is the guy because we want 706 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: that sort of upside. I think Justin Fields is a 707 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: great example of that. I think Trey Lance is another 708 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: example of that, a guy that we knew was raw 709 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: hadn't played a ton of games. And I think the 710 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: differences with Anthony Richardson. He's played a little bit more 711 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: than Lance did, and he's played a higher level of 712 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: competition than Lance. Dude playing in the SEC, playing that 713 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: level of talent as opposed to, you know, playing at 714 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: an FCS school, we at least have some sort of 715 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: idea of the level of talent he's playing against. So 716 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: maybe he really is that guy, and I'm curious to 717 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: see if down the road there are holes there. I 718 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: don't think we can argue that there are definitely holes 719 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: there in terms of his actual football ability, but can 720 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: a coach and a coaching staff sort of mold him 721 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: the way we've seen to some extent with Josh Allen 722 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: to Jalen Hurts, that guy who was a raw passer 723 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: who's gotten a lot better at it in the last 724 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: couple of years. I know people throw out the low 725 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: completion percentage, but it's like, did you look at Lamars 726 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: completion percentage in college? Josh Allen? The list goes on, 727 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: like you can improve it. For a while, it was 728 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: like you cannot improve that, and then we realized, like, no, 729 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: you can. You gotta change your And like I think 730 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson has stuff to work on. He's got to 731 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: change his work on his footwork. He's throwing motion a 732 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: little bit. What I think people are getting lost in 733 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: is they see Anthony Richardson and they're having flashbacks Malik Willis. 734 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: And the difference is one Malik Willis did not test 735 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: anywhere close Like Anthony Richardson is the best test athletic 736 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: tester since Cam Newton at the court, Like he runs 737 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: faster than Ceedee Lamb, he jumps higher than Devanta Adams, 738 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: he's bigger than George Kittle, and he plays quarterback. But 739 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: also like he played at a much higher level than 740 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: Malik Willis, he comes with a lot like he's raw, 741 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: but like Malik Willis was getting sacked almost every play 742 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: in Liberty and couldn't throw to the middle of the 743 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: field and it was a lot like, yes, he very 744 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,479 Speaker 1: much so is a project, but the tools are there. 745 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson is less of a project and even more 746 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: tools here than Malik Willis was a year ago. I 747 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: think he definitely is and I know we all fell 748 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: in love with Malik Willis. I have a dynasty roster 749 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: with Malik Willis and I don't know what to do 750 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,879 Speaker 1: about it. I think he's gonna start at least half 751 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: the games this shire for the Titans. You're probably right, 752 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: but you know how good is that going to be? 753 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: What we saw of him last year was good, A 754 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: lot to be desired, so so we'll see how that goes. 755 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: At running back, Bijon Robinson came into the weekend as 756 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: the consensus number one running back. He left the weekend 757 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: as the consensus number one running back. I don't think 758 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: anything really happened to change anybody's mind. He tested well, 759 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: he did well at all the drills. Jamir Gibbs, though, 760 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: was a guy who did I think open a lot 761 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: of eyes in terms of what he can do. But 762 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 1: in terms of Robinson rookie drafts, is he the one 763 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: dot oh one? Is that too high we look at 764 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: it a quarterback there? I think he's the one dot 765 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: O one. Bijon Robinson. He's a generational talent, probably the 766 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: I would say, the best running back talent to come 767 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: out since sae Quon and Nection Stats has this cool tool. 768 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: You've probably seen me tweeting about it. If you follow 769 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 1: me where they take your college production who we came against, 770 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: and you're athletic testing and they give you an overall 771 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: process score. He received a ninety six. That's since two 772 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: thousand and three, which as far back as it goes, 773 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: that's tied with Saquon Barkley and Breece Hall for the 774 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: second best score they've ever given a running back. Only 775 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor was higher. So he's an elite company. I 776 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: think he's the one dot O one. The only competition, 777 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: in my opinion, is the player who tied with him 778 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: from most miss tagles forced on a per touch basis 779 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: in college, which was Anthony Richardson. And it would have 780 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: to be a super flex league for me to even 781 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: consider it. So, b Jean Robinson, you mentioned sa Quon, 782 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: that's where the comparisons are right now, say Quon Barkley 783 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey a little bit, though he's bigger physically than 784 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: McCaffrey is. But I think that says a lot in 785 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: terms of this is a guy that people are expecting 786 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: can walk in immediately, be a three down back, be 787 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: a contributor in the passing game, which is important now 788 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: when you're talking about fantasy running backs that you're willing 789 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: to spend a high draft pick on. Does this guy 790 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 1: contribute to the passing game? Kenny catch the football? And 791 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: I think what's important to remember is we talk about 792 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: contributing to the passing game. This isn't you know, You're 793 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: not lining this guy up out wide and having him, 794 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, run ghost patterns or whatever. But can he 795 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: run a decent route out of the backfield? Can he 796 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: run a curl? Can he run you know those sorts 797 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: of things. Can he one run the wheel route and 798 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 1: be effective and catch the football? Bijon can do that, 799 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: and I think that is what's gonna have people excited 800 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 1: about him. So I wouldn't I wouldn't mind taking him 801 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: at the one oh one. I think obviously some of 802 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: it depends on what your needs are dynasty wise. Super flex. Yeah, 803 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: it's probably Anthony Richardson at this point, just because that's 804 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: just how it works. One good thing with Bejeon, I 805 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: think is he's not gonna go top ten or something 806 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: like that. Like he could very well fall into a 807 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: very good offense immediately. He could. It's funny too, because 808 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: I think all the scouts look at him and say 809 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: he is a top ten talent, but the analytics of 810 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: drafting say, you don't spend a top ten pick on 811 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: a running back. It just is not what's going to happen. 812 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: So he's going to be sort of penalized in terms 813 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: of his position, but everybody's gonna look at him and say, yeah, 814 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: this dude, they talent. He's going to be a playmaker. 815 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: He's going to be an impact player regardless of where 816 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,919 Speaker 1: he got if he falls late. I mean, we could 817 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: see a team like the Bills or the Eagles or 818 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: maybe the Chiefs. They've they've already done it in the 819 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: past where they've taken a running back round one, like 820 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: he goes to an offense like that. We're talking about 821 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: this guy being not even not the one out of 822 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: one in rookie drafts, like a first round pick. I 823 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,439 Speaker 1: think in just regular fantasy you mentioned the Eagles too, 824 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 1: and gonna step outside of our building here. Matthew Berry 825 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,959 Speaker 1: wrote a really interesting column for NBC Sports Edge about 826 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: the twenty three things he heard at the combine, and 827 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: one of them was that the Eagles really act as 828 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: though they want to find somebody that they can make 829 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: into a workhorse that they wouldn't mind giving somebody most 830 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: of the opportunities. They just didn't feel like Miles Sanders 831 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:57,879 Speaker 1: was that guy. Oh b Jean Robinson in Philadelphia. Man, 832 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,040 Speaker 1: that would be so much fun. That would be so 833 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: much fun. Wide receiver wise, it's a class that I 834 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: don't know has a lot of depth. People talk about 835 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 1: the guys sort of at the top. Quintin Johnson's a 836 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,320 Speaker 1: name that that has come up a lot. Jordan Addison, 837 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: who I'm gonna you know as a Trojan, can always 838 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: be sort of rooting for right there. Fight on for 839 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: sure for Jordan Addison, Jackson Smith and Jigba from Ohio 840 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: State was a name that people sort of forgot about 841 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 1: because he was hurt most of last year dealing with 842 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. I think played in just three games 843 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 1: for the Buckeyes, but came out and looked really good 844 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,399 Speaker 1: in drills, blew everybody away with the three cone. There 845 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,800 Speaker 1: was nobody close to him at the wide receiver position, 846 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: and now it looks like he could be the number 847 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: one wide receiver drafted. But I guess back to my 848 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: original point, not to take anything away from him, but 849 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: are we dealing with a wide receiver class, it just 850 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: isn't going to be as deep as we've seen recently. Yeah, 851 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: especially because in the last couple of years we've been 852 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: insanely spoiled with the wide receiver. Like in one class 853 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: we had Jamar Chase, Devanta Smith, Jalen Waddle like a 854 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: mon round. Sat Brown went in the fourth round, like 855 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: like that class was insane. Like the last three years 856 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 1: have just really really spoiled us. I don't think it's 857 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: anywhere that deep, and nor do I think there's the 858 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: elite game changers in this class. But Jason is my 859 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: wide receiver one by far. He's led in the last 860 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: two years of draft eligible receivers. He led them in 861 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: yards per route, run and catch rate. He played two 862 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 1: years ago with Garrett Wilson and Chris olav and Marvin 863 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,240 Speaker 1: Harrison Junior and had the best numbers of that bunch. 864 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 1: And I know people want to knock him because he's 865 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: a slot guy, but it's like, do you not watch 866 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: the modern NFL, Like slot receivers are game changers now, 867 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: and I think he can be the next one of 868 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 1: that breed. Also, I wouldn't just lock him into immediately 869 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: being only a slot receiver. I remember a couple of 870 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,320 Speaker 1: years ago when people said, Justin Jefferson, he's just a 871 00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 1: slot receiver, and I don't know, he's been good. I'm 872 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: just gonna throw that out there. So maybe there's something 873 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: else for Jason to be besides just that. And look, 874 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: he also got a factor in. He probably played the 875 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 1: slot a lot because of the other guys you mentioned 876 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 1: there at Ohio State. When you've got Garrett Wilson and 877 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: Chris olav and you just want to get him on 878 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: the field, you got to put him somewhere, and so 879 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: he learned to thrive there. I think there's a chance 880 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: for him to go on and do something else too. 881 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 1: But I am curious because a lot of the other 882 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: receivers didn't necessarily blow people away at the combine. I 883 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: know for Addison, I think his forty time was a 884 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 1: little bit slower than people anticipated. They're also worried about 885 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: his size. That part kind of makes me laugh, because 886 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,280 Speaker 1: he's one seventy three. I went and looked just to compare, 887 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: just to be sure. Davonta Smith is five eleven, one 888 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: seventy right, And I'm not gonna say that that Addison 889 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: is Davonta Smith, but in terms of size, like he's 890 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,879 Speaker 1: figured out how to be successful at that size. It's 891 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: funny you bring that up because when I've watched Jordan 892 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 1: Addison's like a couple of his games, I tweeted, I said, 893 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's going to be this good, but 894 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 1: he reminds me so much of Devanta Smith. Just a 895 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: smaller guy, I mean, stature, who knows how to get 896 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: open and knows how to be consisted with his hands 897 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: concerned that I have. And you're the perfect person to 898 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 1: ask this. What happened when he went to you? Like? 899 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: Why did his numbers fall off so much? I think 900 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: some of it was just that SC had a lot 901 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: of wide receivers there. They had a lot of depth 902 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 1: at wide receiver um, probably more than they had it 903 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: Pitt when he was there, and so that had a 904 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: lot to do with it. He did have some injuries, 905 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,839 Speaker 1: I know he missed the last couple of games with 906 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 1: some injuries too, so that had something to do with it. 907 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:44,359 Speaker 1: But I think in terms of just playmaking ability, there's nothing. 908 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 1: I watched games from his pit year and from USC 909 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: and I was like, they it looks like the same 910 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: player to me, I just I'm curious what the change 911 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,720 Speaker 1: that led to the down. We did have some nagging injuries, 912 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: and they just they had a lot of guys to 913 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: get the football too, and so they were able to 914 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 1: spread it around and that that definitely took something away 915 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: from from his overall production. Next year, you'll enjoy talking 916 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: about the draft because we already know he's gonna be 917 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: the one. Right now, you're barrying anything weird. Looks like 918 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna be one oh one in the NFL Draft 919 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: next year. So yeah, I'll be interesting to watch. I 920 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: just I just want Alex Grinch to figure out defense. 921 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 1: That's all. Sorry, I'm flashing back to the Cotton Bowl 922 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,240 Speaker 1: against Tulane, and I have a sad because our dfense 923 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 1: was trash last year. All right, So that's the combine. 924 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't get to the tight ends. 925 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: I know there's you know, I know that rookie tight 926 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: ends don't necessarily make a huge dent in fantasy, but 927 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 1: I will say this is a tight end class that 928 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 1: everybody who's watched it is really really high on. I 929 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,439 Speaker 1: know Daniel Jeremiah has said this is the deepest tight 930 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 1: end class that he has seen in a really, really 931 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: long time, and a lot of those guys tested really 932 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: well this weekend as well. Um, let's turn our attention 933 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,439 Speaker 1: to the free agency as we get ready to wrap 934 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: things up. That's kind of filling out the series that 935 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: we've been doing the last few weeks and wanted to 936 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 1: combine the wide receivers and the tie. It ends a 937 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: lot of names out there, not a lot that immediately 938 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: jump out at you when you talk about the guys 939 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 1: who are likely to be courted very heavily. Jacoby Myers, 940 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: who very well could get the bag. DJ Chark, who 941 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: I think is going to get a lot of run. 942 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: And I'll throw one more name in there because there's 943 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 1: a lot of buzz right now about Alan Lazard. All right, 944 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 1: there you go. So then I'm gonna go back to 945 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 1: what I actually asked you, who would you rather between 946 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: Myers and Chark? If Alan Lazard is automatically a nope. 947 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 1: My thing with Alan Lazard is like he had his 948 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,759 Speaker 1: opportunity last year to be a wide receiver, one with 949 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 1: a back to back MVP, and then he just got 950 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: overshadowed by a rookie. I'm not giving Alan Lazard a 951 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: bunch of money. Who would you rather Jacoby Myers or Chark? 952 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 1: It's kind of a cop out, all things being equal, 953 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 1: I'd rather Jacoby Myers, but there's skill sets are so 954 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,919 Speaker 1: different that it would depend on the need. I think again, 955 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: if you need a possession guy or just I think 956 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers could easily be what Christian Kirk was, a 957 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: guy who changes teams and ends up putting up big 958 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: numbers and everyone's like, oh my god, where did this 959 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: come from? But he's not a field stretcher at all. 960 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,240 Speaker 1: And if you're a team like say like the Chiefs 961 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 1: or someone like that, I think DJ Chark fits them 962 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: better than Jacobe Myers would because they need that player 963 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 1: who could take the top off the defense and be 964 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: a field stretcher, and DJ Chark has shown us that 965 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: he is very very good at doing that. I think 966 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 1: everything you said is absolutely correct. I still think I 967 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: leaned toward Myers just because I feel like he gives 968 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 1: you a more well rounded skill set, even if he's 969 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 1: not that field stretcher, that he does so many things well. 970 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,399 Speaker 1: And this is a guy who was undrafted and made 971 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 1: himself into the best receiver they had in New England. 972 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,720 Speaker 1: The last couple of years, and I think that counts 973 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 1: for something, especially when you look at who he's had 974 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,359 Speaker 1: throwing him the football. Because his rookie year was Tom 975 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,880 Speaker 1: Brady's last year in New England. He was just starting 976 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 1: to get on the field and sort of get his 977 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: feet wet in terms of the NFL fell and then 978 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 1: after that he had a broken down Cam Newton, and 979 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: then he's had two years of Mac Jones, so he 980 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: hasn't really had a lot of great quarterbacks throwing him 981 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 1: the football. And I guess to like last season, he 982 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,759 Speaker 1: had a defensive coordinator calling his play, defensive coordinator calling 983 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 1: his plays on top of that, So I think when 984 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: you take all that into account, he's the guy that 985 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,320 Speaker 1: I would prefer out of the two. But I think 986 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: I think your point is valid that there are teams 987 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 1: that just need somebody who can be that lidlift cage field. 988 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 1: If I'm the Chargers, I'd rather DJ Chark than Jacoby Myers, absolutely, 989 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 1: because I think if you especially if they are committed 990 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: to Keenan Allen, which is what it sounds like, I 991 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 1: don't know that Jacoby Myers adds anything to you when 992 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,959 Speaker 1: you need speed in that wide receiver room, DJ Chart 993 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 1: can be that guy. But looking at the rest of 994 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 1: this free agency field right some of the other names 995 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 1: of note, Juju Smith Schuster, Darius Slayton, Marvin Jones, Robert Woods. 996 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 1: Is there anybody out there that you look at that 997 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 1: can be more than a wide receiver three or can 998 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,879 Speaker 1: even be that much? At this point, I know he's 999 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 1: we're kind of sick of him by now, but I 1000 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 1: feel like Juju Smith Schuster still could be more than 1001 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: a three, or at least I think he's the best 1002 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,320 Speaker 1: three of this Of all the rest, Odell Beckham Junior's 1003 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,319 Speaker 1: name keeps getting thrown out there, and I'm like, why, Like, 1004 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 1: I think he is exactly that, like a three at 1005 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: this point. How how old is Odell now? He's thirty one? 1006 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 1: I think, Okay, he's thirty. Okay, he's younger than I 1007 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 1: thought he'll be thirty one late the season, but he's 1008 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 1: coming off of two knee injuries. He already was declining 1009 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 1: when we like. I think he could be a really 1010 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 1: good field like possession receiver, move the chains type of guy, 1011 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: but I don't think he could be like a difference 1012 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 1: maker like he was in past years. Juju is the 1013 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: only one really After that though, it gets pretty ugly 1014 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 1: pretty fast with like someone's gonna give alan As hard 1015 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: to Weigh more money than I think I would want 1016 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 1: to give. Robert wood is more of a name at 1017 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,280 Speaker 1: this point, I think than than anything. Uh this receiving classes, 1018 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: it's pretty he's gonna get paid. I think, Uh why 1019 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: because he's fast. I mean the only reason because I 1020 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 1: think I think when you talk about Juju and you 1021 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 1: talk about Nicole Hardman, they sort of fit in the 1022 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,840 Speaker 1: same boat in the sense that they were on a 1023 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: roster last year that was looking for other options after 1024 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and neither of them really locked in that role. 1025 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you saw how many guys were involved in 1026 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,799 Speaker 1: the passing game, right It was Kelsey there in Kansas City, 1027 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 1: and then a whole lot of other guys getting opportunity. 1028 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean, they brought in to Darius Tony at the 1029 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 1: end of the year and gave him opportunities. There was uh, 1030 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, we saw Sky Moore make some plays in 1031 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. MVS was able to make some plays 1032 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,440 Speaker 1: down the stretch last season. Jerk McKinnon ended up being 1033 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,239 Speaker 1: a big part of the passing game. There were so 1034 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,439 Speaker 1: many guys that they spread the ball around to, which 1035 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 1: is great for Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, it makes 1036 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 1: them hard to defend. It sucks for us because we 1037 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 1: can't figure out where to go. And I think that 1038 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,280 Speaker 1: sort of works against Juju. I think it works against 1039 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: me Cole Hardman. I mean, I guess Juju's a wide 1040 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 1: receiver three in the right situation, but I feel like 1041 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,319 Speaker 1: that's kind of his ceiling, and he does seem to 1042 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,879 Speaker 1: be the best of the rest after you get past 1043 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 1: Myers and Chart and I guess Lazard good. Is there 1044 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,440 Speaker 1: a more outlier of a season than that twenty eighteen 1045 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,839 Speaker 1: JIUJUSM Schuster season. Now it's hard to believe, right, I mean, 1046 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 1: he hasn't there on for a thousand in any other 1047 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: season since then. And it's funny because you know, after 1048 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown left and he sort of threw some shade 1049 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,799 Speaker 1: on Juju, and I think I think at the time, 1050 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: at least I looked at it as that being a 1051 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 1: b and sour grapes and him being ab. But just 1052 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,400 Speaker 1: because you're crazy, it doesn't mean you're wrong. Right, he 1053 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 1: was a hundred percent right because he had fourteen hundred 1054 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 1: yards in twenty eighteen, he hasn't had This past year 1055 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 1: he had nine thirty three, which has been the highest 1056 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: number since then. Has it really sniffed a thousand yards 1057 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:08,239 Speaker 1: since that one season? So I don't want to get in, 1058 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, off the field stuff, but like Juju with 1059 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 1: all his auntie and he's not a bad guy at all, 1060 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 1: but people just get annoyed by his off the field. 1061 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 1: That's like, at some point a team's gonna be like, 1062 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,279 Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with TikTok boy and them all, 1063 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 1: which I don't know if you saw his two and 1064 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 1: a half minute TikTok on his reply for TikTok boy, No. 1065 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,839 Speaker 1: At first, I was like this was terrible, and then 1066 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:32,720 Speaker 1: I watched the second time and I was like, Okay, 1067 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 1: this was actually pretty well thought out. I mean, look, 1068 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 1: he's great on social media. He definitely knows how to 1069 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: connect with folks on social media. But I think you're 1070 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: sort of right that he doesn't give you enough on 1071 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 1: the field for teams to be like I, I, you know, 1072 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: I want to, I don't want to, And then you 1073 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: know he's calling out like James Bradberry and it's like 1074 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 1: he's a way better player than you. Maybe don't do that. 1075 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 1: Don't do that, and then yeah, I know it started 1076 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 1: a whole little thing with a J Brown on the 1077 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,879 Speaker 1: socials and that whole thing. So I just don't see 1078 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,239 Speaker 1: anybody really getting a huge bag in free agency. I 1079 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 1: think the guys that ended up getting that will end 1080 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 1: up getting the most will be Myers and charc and 1081 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,760 Speaker 1: if you know these whispers are to be believe, maybe 1082 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: somebody throws a decent chunk of money at Alan Lazard, 1083 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: but there's just nobody else here that I think is 1084 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: going to get a huge payday. Coming up this offseason 1085 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 1: quickly about tight ends. Before we wrap this thing up, 1086 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are expected to franchise tag Evan Ingram. I 1087 00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,279 Speaker 1: don't believe that has happened officially yet, but I think 1088 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:34,919 Speaker 1: all signs point to that being the case. Anybody else 1089 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 1: out there at the tight end position that really catches 1090 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 1: your eye, because again, this doesn't feel like a position 1091 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: that again is going to make a whole lot of 1092 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: noise when free agency opens in a week. Dalton Schultz, 1093 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,400 Speaker 1: I think is the biggest name out there. I'm hoping, 1094 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 1: I think, best case as he goes back to Dallas, 1095 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 1: But that's looking like that might not be the case. 1096 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: I still think Mike Asseki, as much as I was 1097 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,439 Speaker 1: the low guy on him his past year, like, there's 1098 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 1: talent there if he ends up in the right situation, 1099 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,920 Speaker 1: and then I'm never going to quit IRB Smith Junior. 1100 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 1: So I Smith Junior ends up in the right spot, 1101 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 1: I will be excited by the way. Let me correct myself. 1102 00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 1: The Jaguars have officially announced that they will franchise tag 1103 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,720 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, so that is that is going to be done. 1104 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 1: Not a surprise. We all expected that to come. I 1105 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: do think Dalton Schultz is an interesting piece. I think 1106 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,720 Speaker 1: though we may have seen him kind of hit his ceiling. 1107 00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 1: I think I think I don't know that he's going 1108 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,040 Speaker 1: to give you much more than what we've seen in 1109 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, but could be a productive option. 1110 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 1: I think for Mike Gesicki, he has to go to 1111 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,480 Speaker 1: a place where they're willing to use him primarily as 1112 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 1: a pass catcher because last year with Mike McDaniel there 1113 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: in Miami, they wanted him to be more of a blocker, 1114 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 1: and yeah, that wasn't really his strength. On top of it, 1115 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,239 Speaker 1: adding Tyreek Hill to go along with Jalen Waddle meant 1116 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: there were fewer targets to go around for him. So 1117 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,920 Speaker 1: he's got to be somewhere where that's just gonna be 1118 00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 1: his job. You line up maybe as a big slot receiver, 1119 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: and you run routes and you catch the football, because 1120 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,439 Speaker 1: that's really where his value is going to be. Beyond that, 1121 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna see any major tight end 1122 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 1: moves that make a splash. I've heard some rumors that 1123 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 1: maybe somebody, you know, that Robert Tunyan may draw some interest. 1124 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:17,319 Speaker 1: We'll see if Austin Hooper draws it. Just I'm hoping 1125 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 1: Austin Hooper goes anywhere but the Titans, because I'm excited 1126 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,719 Speaker 1: for a conquo and I want to see what he 1127 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 1: can be as the starting tight ends. So the Titans, 1128 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,319 Speaker 1: you're already in getting rid of everyone, don't mess this up. Yeah, 1129 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 1: let's let's let chig cook. Let's let chick that'll that'll 1130 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 1: be that'll be kind of interesting. I kind of want 1131 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 1: Marcedes Lewis to sign somewhere so he can catch his 1132 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,120 Speaker 1: annual touchdown. Whoever it has to be, has to be 1133 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 1: somebody who's playing in London, because he just is a 1134 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:45,640 Speaker 1: beast whenever they go to London. So check your schedules, 1135 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 1: NFL teams if you're going to London. Making off to 1136 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 1: Marcedes Lewis. He's got to get to like year twenty 1137 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,359 Speaker 1: at this point. I always say this. Marcedes Lewis um 1138 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 1: played in high school against Maurice Jones Drew. They played 1139 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 1: in college together UCLA. They were drafted in the same year. Maurice, 1140 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 1: we love you. You've been our co worker for a 1141 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 1: while though now, and Marcedes Lewis is still playing NFL FLO. 1142 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 1: I've been here for five years and mgd's been here 1143 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 1: way longer than me, so so he's been.
