Speaker 1: of the NFL preseason. Will kick it off with that

19
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: abomination we saw last night on Monday Night Football. But Fabs,

20
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: you know you're you're Cowboys fan, and uh boy, I

21
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: put a lot of points on the board last night. Yeah,

22
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: it was impressive game. Now is something Now you want

23
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: to draft the Cowboys defense though, and I want to

24
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: not draft Tony Romo, de Marco Murray and Des Bryant

25
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: and Miles stop it. So and Andrew Luck will be

26
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: the top scoring quarterback and fantasy football based and he

27
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: did in the first preseason game. Listen, this is one

28
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: preseason game. It's not going to change anything. The one

29
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: thing that I do have a little bit of a

30
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: concern about is that the fact is the Cowboys offensive

31
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: line and does not look good and there's some injuries there.

32
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Romo needs to be upright to actually throw the football,

33
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: thus scoring fantasy points. So let's see how that offensive

34
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: line hopefully improves as we get closer to the regular season. Here, now,

35
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up because joining us once again,

Speaker 1: But regarding the game last night, I you know, I

64
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: said the window was closing a lot of headlines. Uh.

65
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: You know, listen, we have to do the things that

66
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: team has to do, and one of those things we

67
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: have to do is teach Doug Free how to play

68
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: football once we had. Now he's he's hurt right now. Okay,

69
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: So we make up for it by our center guard

70
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: guard rotation being terrible or has Eddie Murphy said in

71
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies, good and Terrible. Uh, but

72
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, you look at that game,

73
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: and I know what you're thinking, that that we don't

74
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: we don't have a plan. You know that that that

75
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be the GM. Uh that was a three

76
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: to nothing w Okay. That defense shut down one of

77
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: the most prolific attacks. You tell me, right, prolific Oakland

78
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: Raiders attack. Uh fabs, that's enough. Uh sorry, Jason put

81
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior on fourth and six. If Freddie Mitchell can

82
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: do it against Green Okay, h I mean what was

83
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: prior that you know I didn't draft re real prior

84
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: wasn't because I wouldn't draft at quarter Anthony Ratt wouldn't

85

Speaker 1: do you get sacked on the screen pass? Okay, Dave

87
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,160

Speaker 1: four dollars late in the draft, and you know you're

156
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: gonna get But the other guys, it's it's it's all

157
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: up in the air. Well, it's all up in the air.

158
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: This is where reality and fantasy really meet. Sometimes they

159
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: don't meet, and sometimes they do. And if you're thinking about, Okay,

160
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: what Cowboys am I gonna draft and where I'm gonna draft?

161
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: H where here's the problems you're dealing with. If you're

162
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: a guy that's really high on de Marco Murray. That's fine,

163
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: but keep in mind that they've got one guard hurt,

164
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: their right tackles hurt, and their centers hurt. And not

165
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: to mention, these guards are retread from Carolina and Cincinnati.

166
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: You gotta have an old line to play football. Number

167
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: two Tony Romo is running for his life back there.

168
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: Number three Dez Bryant has not shown that he can

169
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: put a good half of football together. So if it's me,

170
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm laying back on almost every doll is Cowboy. The

171
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: one guy I agree with you that Jason Woulden is solid,

172
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: but it's Jason wouldn't really gonna go before the sixth round.

173
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I doubt it. He's a great tight end,

174
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: but there's just too many other good players to take

175
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: in the first five rounds of a fantasy draft. Michael Fabiano,

176
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: I know you have an opinion on Miles Austin, which

177
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: is you're a little scared. Listen, he he had that

178
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: one great year, the one gigantic year where he was

179
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football. You

180
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: remember that a few years back, But since then, inconsistency, injury,

181
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: the hamstring fassed a couple of times. He missed a

182
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: couple of games last year, and then when he came back.

183
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: You and I of course remember that game where Romo

184
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: threw the football against the Giants and Austin either lost

185
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: it in the lights or couldn't because of the hamstring.

186
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: And now he's got a hamstring again. To me, does

187
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: Brian is the wide receiver of the draft in Dallas

188
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: this season? More upside Miles Austin has got some injury concerns.

189
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: So does Bryant too. Occasionally this guy gets snacked up

190
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: as well. But I'm not ready to wave the white

191
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: flag on the Dallas Cowboys and fantas see at this point,

192
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: it's like saying, well, Chris Johnson didn't look too good

193
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks in the first preseason game. I don't

194
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: want anything to do with him or Andrew Locals phenomenal.

195
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to draft him. Is my number one quarterback.

196
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Take it easy, pump the brakes, as Elliot Harrison likes

197
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: to say, We've still got another three weeks ago. Murray,

198
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: I think de Marco Murray is gonna be the first

199
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy drafted in just about every single league. I

200
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: think he's a borderline one or two depending on the

201
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: size of your league, if he stays healthy. Caveat right.

202
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: We we always have to say that with Murray, he's

203
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: a yard back, a guy who can maybe score your

204
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns on the ground. And if the Cowboys pass

205
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: attack flounders a little bit because of the injuries to

206
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: Austin and right now their third receivers Ogle Tree, right, Elliott,

207
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: I think it's although they don't, they could lean on

208
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: de Marco Murray quite a bit. I think that's their

209
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: plan is to try to do that, especially not have

210
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: Tony Romo try to win games late in the fourth quarter.

211
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: But you know, these are the two guys that I'm

212
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: probably would be concerned about the least. Obviously, with Miles Austin,

213
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: you have the He's almost undraftable for me, just because

214
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: there's so much you love that you love that sentence

215
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: that I'm undraftable. I'm owning that word this year. I'm

216
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: in fact, I'm gonna hashtag undraftable right now on Twitter

217
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: just so I can own it. He's He's not worth

218
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: the risk for me. Des Briant is worth the risk.

219
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 1: I will take him first. Tony Romo outside of the

220
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: top five. Once you get outside of those top five

221
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: league quarterbacks so that they're gonna go in the first round.

222
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: Romo is the next guy off the board for me

223
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: because I have the least amount of concerns from him,

224
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: and then I do. Friend, Look, Michael Vicks already banged

225
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 1: up his about Rivers, Philip Rivers. Philip Rivers I like,

226
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: but he's coming off a down season and Philip Rivers

227
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: best seasons. Tony Romo has the same type of year,

228
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: so it's not like suddenly someone's gonna happen. Okay, Now, look,

229
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: I think Matt Ryan could be my Matt Stafford breakout

230
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: candidate this season, but I'm not gonna take him over

231
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. I think he's the sixth quarterback off the board,

232
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna come until after de Marco Murray

233
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: because as much as you want to take risks at

234
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: running back, you have to take to Marco Murray ahead

235
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: of guys like Ryan Matthews and Trent Richard because of

236
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: the injury factor. Suddenly, not because of him, but because

237
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: of what's happened the running back position. Guys like to

238
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: Marco Murray and Darren McFadden suddenly they look a heck

239
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: of a lot better than they did a week ago,

240
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: just because of what happened to two guys you were

241
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: gonna take ahead of them just a few days ago.

242
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: You know, I I want a piggyback something you said,

243
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: and I want to throw something out to fabs one.

244
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: Regarding Romo and Rivers, I think most league analysts would

245
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: put Rivers over Romo at this stage of their career.

246
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: Just keep in mind that Romo has more escapability from

247
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: the pocket through half as many interceptions, literally tended twenty

248
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: and three more touchdowns. Uhs. As far as Romo's concerned,

249
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: I think he's somebody you can hang your hat on.

250
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: But I'd like to bring up a deep sleeper for

251
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Deep sleeper, deep sleeper, deep sleeper. When you

252
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: lose three enough and there's no such thing as a

253
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: deep sleeper. Everyone's of every job is available, and it's

254
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: this probably is a misnomer, but I just mean this

255
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: is definitely something you can get in the last round

256
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: of your fantasy draft, and that isball Cowboys defense. Cowboys

257
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: defense has the potend it will be very good. And

258
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying by very good, I mean very good.

259
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't mean excellent, I don't mean great. I don't

260
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: even necessarily mean they're gonna be a breakout. I e.

261
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: Top ten. They maybe an eleven or twelve in fantasy. However,

262
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: keep in mind they're not starting Keith Brooking and Brady

263
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: James an inside linebacker anymore. Now they've got Connor, they've

264
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: got Shawn Lee, They've got Bruce Carter, who is a

265
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: top pick or their second round pick. Last year. They

266
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: got Brandon Carr from the Chiefs in free agency. They

267
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: drafted Morris Clayborne in the first round. And actually, the

268
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: one guy that's had a really good camp. I can't

269
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: believe I'm saying this is Barry Church, who's supposed to

270
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: start a strong safety. You're talking about improvement all throughout

271
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: their defense. I'm not saying they're gonna be great, just

272
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: saying this isn't the twentieth ranked fantasy defense. In my mind,

273
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: they are draftable and they certainly are worth picking up

274
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire with good matchups. It's NFL Fantasy Live.

275

Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Elliott Harrison, Michael Fabiano from NFL Network and

Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. Number is eighty eight nine six three

Speaker 1: to six eight two. That is XM Fantasy. Also get

278
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: in via Twitter at Sirius XM Fantasy. Now we have

279
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: to get to the team that actually didn't score any

280
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: points last night. It's much with the front of the Cowboys.

281
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: At least the Cowboys were able to get that Dan

282
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: Bailey field goal. Always like Dan Bailey though he was

283
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: he was a good player. He makes a good mixed

284
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: drink to what is bail I don't even know what's

285
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: in there. My dad is a big Bailey's and coffee fan. Yeah,

286
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: my dad's a big Bailly's in call. I don't know

287
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: that I've ever had it. Bailey's. Oh Bailey's. You know,

288
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: you know the time to try Bailey's. Try Baillies around

289
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: Christmas time. That's the time. There's certain times a year.

290
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: What it was? What direction is this show has gone

291
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: into Dan Bailey to drinking Bailey's at Christmas. That's Harrison

292
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: for you and my mind and online went straight to

293
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: h Randy Quaid with the eggnog and he had the

294
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: black thing under his his cream turtleneck. Remember that? And

295
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: you didn't see Christmas fake? Of course I did. Why

296
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: is the carpet went Todd? Can I ask before you

297
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: get into can I ask what is your opinion on

298
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defensive They completely undraftable, almost guarantee they're gonna

299
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: be drafted in just about every single league. I think

300
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: they should be outside of the ten teams are lower. Yeah, no, absolutely,

301
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean they've definitely improved a Brandon Carr and hopefully

302
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: Mo claiborne gets out of the ice tub and gets

303
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: on the field at some point, So that defense definitely

304
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: has some value. And it's it's a Ryan led defense,

305
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: so they're going to be aggressive. Darren McFadden last night

306
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: at least showed some kind of offense after Terrell Prior

307
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: started running for his life in the third and fourth

308
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: quarter of the game thirty eight yards on three carries.

309
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: He looked powerful, he looked healthy, he looked ready to go.

310
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: And not just because it's the first preseason game, but

311
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: like I said, a couple of minutes ago, look at

312
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: what's happened in the running back position. A week ago,

313
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: you were taking Ryan Matthews before Darren McFadden. You were

314
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: potentially taking Trent Richardson ahead of Darren McFadden, just because

315
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: you know about what the injury history is with Darren McFadden,

316
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: but now here he is. And I can't believe we're

317
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: having an injury conversation about McFadden and he's the guy

318
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: we're saying good things about. But he's moved up at

319
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: at the very least he's mid second rounder, but he's

320
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: moved up to the early part of the second round,

321
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: late first just because of the guy's fall. And Be

322
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: actually said on NFL Fantasy Live this morning that Darren

323
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: McFadden is like that gorgeous girl that you wanted to

324
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: ask out in high school but you knew you were

325
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: probably gonna get burned by this girl, but the temptation

326
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: was just too great and you had to ask her out.

327
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: Of course, that doesn't happen, Harrison. The girls ask came out.

328
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: It sounds like it happened to you. What happened? Oh god,

329
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: it's happening all of us. So I asked, what happened

330
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: to you? I just went on to the next Uh.

331
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: So McFadden to me, is right now first round pick,

332
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: late first round pick, no later than an early second

333
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: round pick. And is he gonna burn you? Quite possibly,

334
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: He's burned us all in the past, but I think

335
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna stay healthy. It's just a hunch. I say

336
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: he plays in at least fourteen games, so matches that

337
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: career high UH from a couple of years ago. And

338
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: I think Greg Naps that zone blocking scheme is gonna

339
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: be a perfect fit for McFadden. And there's no Michael Bush.

340
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Mike Mike Goods and Taiwan Jones are behind him on

341
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: the depth chart, and either one of these guys is

342
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: going to be taking any of those important goal line

343
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: carries away from Darren McFadden. So to me, guys, and

344
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: I know that there's opinions out there that he's not

345
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: worth a first round pick because of the injury risk,

346
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: and I can't argue with that. So you would ask

347
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: him out, what what direction did that? Harrison? He's just

348
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: he's picturing you on Twitter saying, hey, Darren, want to

349
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: go steady? I asked out Aaron Gray Gerards. People wouldn't

350
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: let me get anyone who didn't. You know, if Ryan

351
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: Matthews is a fantasy stud, then he's of the softcore variety. Man. Alright,

352
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: Miss Harrison comes back and he's taking the show. He's

353
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: taking the show. Let's look, let's do a little quick math,

354
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: real quick Okay. Ryan Matthews out six weeks, four to six, right,

355
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: so we're looking at him gone week one, week two, fair, possibly, yes, Okay,

356
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: he says he's gonna be back for week one, but probably, okay, probably,

357
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: I think conservatively missed two weeks. Okay, that means of

358
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: thirty four potential career starts for him, he'll have already

359
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: missed twelve of them. Okay. Now, Darren McFadden, I understand

360
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: the injury concern. You've already referenced it. Okay, but who's

361
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: a better player? Forget the injury. Who's a better player?

362
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden. I would have never in a a billion years,

363
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: and I said this when we did our team videos

364
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com, I would never take Ryan Matthews

365
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: over Darren McFadden. I understand the injury concerns. It's funny

366
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: how that works, though, isn't it. You talk about it

367
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: all offseason, Jason. Then you sit down in front the

368
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: TV set and you watched the first quarter last night's game,

369
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: and you go, oh yeah, you realized, all right, this

370
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: is how good this guy is. But it's all about

371
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: what happened in front of him, you know, It's all

372
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: about what's happened to these guys who are falling a

373
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: little bit because the talent thing is is not a question.

374
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: And even to go even further for McFadden, you know,

375
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: Fadden brought up Greg Nap, but this is something we

376
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: we brought up on the show today on NFL Fantasy Live,

377
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: is that everywhere Nap has been that first season, he's

378
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: had a guy, you know, whether you're a talented runner

379
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: or not talented, have an incredible year war work done

380
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: in Atlanta yards rushing. This is Wark done fourteen hundred

381
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: yards rushing. He had Julius Jones in Seattle have six

382
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 1: hundred yards rushing. That was also your justin four set

383
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: average six yards to carry. Right. He had Arian Foster

384
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: who was undrafted out of Tennessee. And look what he's

385
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: done most yards back Justin Fargas in two thousand seven

386
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: when he was with the Raiders the first time, around

387
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: thousand yards for Justin Fargas. Now here's a guy with

388
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: more talent than any of those players. And you could

389
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: say healthy forget about he could be sixteen seventeen, eighteen

390
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: hundred yards if he's healthy. But there's the big if.

391
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: But because of what's going on around him. I don't

392
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: normally change my mind on guys because I think one

393
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: way about somebody and they really need something else. But

394
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: when guys start getting injured, you can't just you gotta realize, Okay,

395
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: some guys have to move up and some guys have

396
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: to move down because you can't try to talk your

397
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: way around injuries and when a guy is gonna come

398
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: back and play. So mc fadden's on the way up

399
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: right now. He's in a ten team league. He's a

400
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: second rounder in a twelve team league. He's a borderline

401
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: first round early second round pick. And you just have

402
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: to go by what you see and and go by

403
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: who's out there. Because even even last year you had

404
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, you had a great season, but three and

405
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: a half games he missed. So that's your number one

406
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: guy that missed three and a half games. And again,

407
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: this is this is what the running back position has

408
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: come down to this season and fantasy football. This is

409
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: the hardest, most questionable group of running backs that I

410
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: can never remember people having to draft. You're you've got

411
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: one of the best over the last five years and

412
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson that you are not sure that you can

413
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: lean On because of the a c L injury and

414
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: is he gonna play in the preseason. We don't know.

415
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: And you've got Chris Johnson coming off a bad year.

416
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: You've got Darren McFadden coming off of injury. So many

417
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: guys coming off of injury. This is a topic we

418
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: are going to talk about quite a bit uh in

Speaker 1: ahead of Matt Hassel in the quarterback derby battle in Tennessee.

459
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Right now, still too early to declare a winner, but

460
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: right now, obviously it looks like he's got He has

461
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: the inside track. He's played well so far. If he

462
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: wins this job, I think you throw him right smack

463
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: Den in the middle of the mix of Andrew Luck

464
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: r G three and those guys you could take with

465
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: some upside that you take as your second quarterback. Because

466
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: we saw him make plays last year, and I look,

467
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was gonna be this good. I

468
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: thought Locker had trouble hitting receivers in college when guys

469
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: are covered better in the NFL, He's not gonna be

470
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: able to do it. But he showed the propensity to

471
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: make plays and the way you can make plays with

472
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: his legs. I got him right, there with Andrew Luck

473
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: and RG three is guys, Hey, I'll take a chance

474
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: on these guys as my second quarterback and maybe they

475
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: can turn into something for me down the road. I

476
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: need to see something out of him, you know, from

477
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: a classic sense. And what I mean by that is

478
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: last year his best game was against the Saints in Nashville.

479
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: It was the game that Matt Hasselback came in the

480
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: first quarter and he he ruptured his calf and Locker

481
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: had to come in. He almost pulled the game out,

482
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: but Locker didn't get the reps that we can practice. Okay,

483
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: So he was making a lot of plays out of

484
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: the pocket, kind of feeling his way out there. Now

485
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: you're looking at him as a quarterback who's supposed to

486
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: understand the offense. That's great, but I'm not sure that

487
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: he's not a better player in that Ben Roethlisberger Tony

488
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: Romo since where he's making better plays when the play

489
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: breaks down and he's got to use his mobility in

490
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Alright, dead silence. Well, I thought

491
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: I was where would you where would you put Locker

492
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: if he let's say Locker got named the starter tomorrow

493
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: and you had to put a number of a ranking

494
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: for him, so, uh is he fit? Would he be

495
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: right in twenty range? Uh? I like the upside there,

496
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: so I draft him, like over Carson Palmer, maybe over Cutler.

497
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: Maybe it's close. Cutler is tough. I like color lines

498
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: lousy though. That's the one thing I worry about with him.

499
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: Matt Shob. I think in that area, that's where I

500
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: put locker because I'm a guy who likes the upside.

501
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: I dropped them over Joe Flacco. I dropped him over

502
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: Sat Bradford as well, if we knew that he was

503
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: going to be the guy I see. I think as

504
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: as as far as Jake Cutler goes, they keep seventeen

505
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: guys in and out of block form. So once they

506
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: made that shift last year when they realized that, okay,

507
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: well we can't just run this offense, and Mike mart said, fine,

508
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: I'll listen to everybody who says I should keep more

509
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: blockers that oh, oh wow, we're starting to win games,

510
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: and when by twenty and twenty five points. So once

511
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: they did that, they realized this is what's gonna work

512
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: for us. Brandon Marshall's gonna keep take pressure off the defense.

513
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: They're gonna keep more blockers in to keep Cutler up right.

514
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that part of it. I think

515
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: Cutler he could be that low end one, that that

516
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, we always wonder when's gonna be that year

517
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: when he hits thirty touchdowns and becomes that good a quarterback.

518
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: And I think this is that year for him. He

519
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, he's back with Brandon Marshall, who you know

520
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: is going to be motivated. You know, at least for

521
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: one year, Brandon Marshall is gonna be motivated. So I

522
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: think I like it a little bit more than everybody else,

523
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: But you know, low end one. Yeah, I think Cutlers

524
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: in that in that range. I would I would say

525
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: Locker would be in a in a high end two

526
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: situation because I always like taking the backup quarterback with

527
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: the upside you know you talked about upside. Would rather

528
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: have Jake Locker or Carson Palmer. Well, if Locker wins

529
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: a job, rather have Jake Soccer. We've seen the best

530
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: from Carson Palmer. I know people try to go safe

531
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: with that second quarterback pick a lot, but I don't.

532
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the right philosophy. To go

533
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: with fabs. I think you know, hey, look you have

534
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: you number one guy, take a chance at number two? Right,

535
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: guy gets hurt? You're you're you're stuck anyway, son man,

536
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: how about we take a couple of calls. Absolutely, we

537
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: have other wait, other big quarterback news. We'll get to

538
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes. But I agree with you.

539
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: Did I hear Jason say that the Bears need seventeen

540
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: guys to protect Cutler? Now something like that, because the

541
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys need Todd and St. Louis. Welcome the NFL Fantasy Live.

542
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: What's your question? My friend? Hey guys, what's up? What's up? Question?

543
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: Part PPR. I have the number eight pick, uh thousand

544
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: dollar entry fee, pay out a hundred and fifty a

545
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: week for high points, tend to head uh. Three wide

546
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: receivers are tied in and the flex just you know,

547
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: part of the lineup. But you're just gonna throw at

548
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: a couple of scenarios and you guys take it from there.

549
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: Um at that eighth pick, are you looking running back

550
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: like possibly with the Chris Johnson rives down. I know

551
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: you guys are high on Nick Sadden. Later on a breeze,

552
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: Brady if they're available in the second round, if it's

553
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,239
Speaker 1: coming back, are you guys if Andrew Johnson and it's

554
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: it's Gerald, uh, which I'm you know, not really hepped

555
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: up on them. If if they're gone, do you possibly

556
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: look at somebody like Jimmy Graham already that early if

557
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: you decide to take a quarterback in that first spot,

558
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson and Ryan Matthews later on. I mean, I

559
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: know it's a it's a it's a big hunch, all right.

560
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: So you're looking you're looking at it. You're looking at

561
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: the number eight pick PPR and you're coming back, and

562
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: you're looking for the first two rounds? Is what is

563
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: what you're looking at? Philosophy and strategy that number eight. Look.

564
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: You know me, Febs, I always like a quarterback over

565
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: running back. You know, I'm always, But I think at

566
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: the eight point now you have much more of a

567
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: risk drafting running back than drafting quarterback, because where would

568
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: you be at eight? You know, you know, Lashaw McCoy

569
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: and Ray Rice and Arian Foster all gonna be gone,

570
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: boom the quarterback Actu're looking at her stafford in Newton

571
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: like right, and then, but would you rather have Stafford

572
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: or Newton at number eight, or would you rather say

573
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: what about Darren McFadden? I mean, who who would you

574
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: more be more confident in at this point, I'm probably

575
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: going with Stafford. That would be the guy that I

576
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: would go after is Matthew Stafford. And the reason why

577
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: is because of what we saw last year in the

578
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: league just becoming a quarterbacks league. And again, as much

579
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: as I think McFadden can bounce back and actually play

580
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: in more than thirteen games this year, there's that risk

581
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: involved and it's a punishing position. Um, I'd likely go

582
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: Stafford there. I had hoped to get McFadden on the

583
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: way back in the early stages of round two, although

584
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that he'd be there. Are we talking

585
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: in twelve team here? But but I'm asking what breath

586
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: and Brady are there? Well? If Stafford and Cam Newton easily,

587
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: you should do a do a dance because at the

588
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: eighth overall pick, to have either one of those guys

589
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: available to you is gonna be a nice bargain for you.

590
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: I can't believe this isn't, but I wouldn't worry about

591
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: that because who who's really gonna get taken that that

592
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: they're not going to be drafted there. Really, you never

593
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: know someone's gonna jump up and get Calvin Johnson. Maybe,

594
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: but you know this is a league where it's a

595
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: thousand dollar entry for These are all serious players, So

596
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: no one's gonna convince I like Calvin Johnson at number five.

597
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. How about the first

598
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: five already? Uh? Ray, Rice Foster, Calvin Johnson, H McCoy

599
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: and Rogers are your first five going off the board. Wow? Akay,

600
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: Jason better hope that Madden curse doesn't doesn't come back

601
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: and catch you. I I if you know those are

602
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: the top five, then the possibility, if you know what

603
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: the picks are gonna be, then they could be there

604
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: for you. Then yeah, then then okay, then that's you're

605
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: thinking of. I I would default to Breeze over Brady,

606
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: but just by a little bit. I mean you're kind

607
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: of splitting hairs. It depends on who you'd like more

608
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. But really you can't go wrong with

609
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: either one because you know what the Saints are gonna do.

610
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna do what they've done every year the last

611
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: four or five years, and you know the Patriots is

612
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: still gonna throw the football. Did they throw it a

613
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: little bit more now with Brandon Lloyd? Do they do

614
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more because they're gonna have Aaron Hernandez

615
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: for a full season? Probably? But it's really it's real

616
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: personal preference between the two of them. Let's say that

617
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: that breeze. Let's say it gets breeze. Okay, if you're

618
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: talking about a ten team with the eighth overall pick,

619
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: then that means he's coming back around at the pick overall. Okay, pick,

620
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: you could definitely get a great wide receiver and McFadden

621
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: will probably sitting there. People are gonna be afraid of him.

622
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: You think it's still be there right now at thirteen,

623
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: this draft coming up right now, you think of thirteen,

624
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: he'd still be there McFadden right now. There's a chance,

625
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: there's a chance, there's a chance, but it's it's a

626
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: slim chance. You think people would take Gronk over McFadden.

627
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: I do, yes, I do yes. Okay, So you start

628
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: start naming the names and you'll find twelve guys before

629
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden gets taken. So I think you could get it.

630
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: I said it. I think it's close. I think it's close.

631
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: He may it's it's not a sure thing. It's called yeah,

632
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: he could be there, he might not be. I think

633
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: he might go Right now, if you're draft is tomorrow,

634
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: at this moment in time, Darren McFadden will move up

635
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: right there, just because of what we said have happened.

636
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: But I know the week goes by and who knows

637
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: how things going. Who winds up having a big game,

638
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: and people think, Okay, I like this guy a little

639
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: bit more. I'm more validated with this person who managed

640
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. It. I think it's close, and I

641
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: think you gotta go a quarterback. I think this is

642
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: very relevant if in Week three of the preseason, when

643
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: the starters play a half, someone like Michael Turner goes

644
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: for a buck forty eight in the first half of

645
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: the game, all of a sudden, all those people that

646
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: think Michael Turner is a fifth round draft choice gonna

647
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: be like, hey, Michael Turner. You know Michael Turner, man,

648
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: he's a workhorse, you know, yeah? Constantly? Is there? Is it?

649
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: Do any of us like Michael Turner this year? Is

650
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: there any of us? Right? None of us like Michael?

651
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: And let's just keep one thing in mind. I know

652
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: it was the first weekend preseason. I know I love

653
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden. I drafted him last year. I drafted him

654
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: in the first round. Okay, but we sit here and

655
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: with him hall about what what explosiveness he showed last night?

656
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: How good he look? How many points to the writers

657
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: score last night? As many as you and I did?

658
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. He doesn't mean a hill of beans if

659
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: he gains a lot of yards. Look at to Marco

660
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: Murray last year to total touchdowns. Let's go back to

661
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: the phones. Vince in Indianapolis. Vince, you're on NFL Fantasy Live. Hey, guys,

662
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. I got a twelve team

663
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 1: dynasty league I d P we protect thirteen players each. Um,

664
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: I've got the number five picks, So if Luke Tikley

665
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: is there, I'm gonna take him. But I'm afraid he's

666
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna go at four. So I'm kind of stuck between

667
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: maybe Blackman and Bobby Wagner. I just wanted to get

668
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: your guys opinion on what you might do there. Honestly,

669
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: I really don't want to Jackson Bill wide receiver, but

670
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: you know I don't want to miss out on a

671
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: top prospect either Coogie looks like he's going to be good,

672
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: especially with Beeson coming off of the surgery he's he's

673
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: been injured quite a bit over the last couple of years.

674
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: He could be ridiculously good because the last year good

675
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: Blackman's black Men. I know he plays for the Jaguars,

676
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: but when you're talking Dynasty League, you can't just look

677
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: at the hearing. You've got to look way ahead in

678
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: the future and the talent alone. Blackman is probably the

679
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: best ride receiver in this twelve class. So yeah, I

680
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: already interrupt you there, but I I completely agree. I

681
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: think the whole the operative phrase there was dynasty League

682
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: because if you're looking at this year, I don't like Blackman.

683
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: Right now, the Jacks can't really, you know, get their

684
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: offense going because of the MJD situation, and you have

685
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: no idea whether Blaine Gabert is going to be the

686
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 1: quarterback going forward. This year, Blaine Gabtt is the quarterback,

687
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: So I don't like Blackman. But after Lauren Robinson flames

688
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: out and Gabbett proves he can't play and the Jags

689
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: have to go in another direction, maybe they get a

690
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: good quarterback next year. I'm just prognosticating one possible eventuality.

691
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, Blackman's a great player. He

692
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: doesn't look like I'm just making the point that could happen.

693
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just illustrating Fabi's point that it's it's

694
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: kind of like how you like me now versus how

695
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: you like me later, and how you like me now

696
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: for black men is not great, but we're talking to dynasty.

697
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: Let me give you a perfect example. Calvin Johnson. What

698
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: were his rookie numbers? You could probably name him right

699
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: off the top of your head, Harrison or get close.

700
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: I think it was a thousand, twenty three yards. No,

701
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: he was. He was at a second year. He was

702
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: in the seven one no one year, he went seven

703
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: seventy that that maybe that was it. He Now you

704
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: put me on the spot, but you don't understand this

705
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: guy who knew who the d H was for the Texas, Right,

706
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: you're right. So you've got to look at that as

707
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: an example. I'm not saying black man is gonna be

708
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, That's certainly not what I'm saying. But Johnson,

709
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: based on the numbers, I mean, he was a mediocre

710
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: fantasy player at best in his rookie year, and then

711
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: things just got better and better for him throughout the

712
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: last four years. So again that that kid in Carolina though,

713
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: he's got a shot to be something special at linebacker.

714
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: But I think Blackman's the guy. If cookle is not there?

715
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 1: Is that how you appremis his name cook Lely? Yeah,

716
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: just like you, except we put the Ellen alright Smith

717
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy alive. Jason Smith, He's saying, I'm Cooky. Yeah.

718
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: See well that went right over your head. He's Elliott Harrison,

719
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: He's Michael Fabiano. I'm Jason Smith. Your phone number is

720
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: eight eight nine six three two six two x M

721
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: Fantasy real quick. Other quarterback news. Wanted to get to here.

722
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: We know and this is this is kind of how

723
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: Arizona is doing it. John Skelton is ahead of Kevin

724
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: Cobb in the quarterback derby. Okay, that's great. Kevin Cobb

725
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: is gonna start this weekend's game, okay. But the fact

726
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: that John Skelton is a leader right now is great

727
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: news if you want to draft any Cardinal outside of

728
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: their defense, because we know Kevin Cobb has trouble getting

729
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald the football and you don't you know that

730
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: offense is not gonna go with Kevin Cobb. Elton is

731
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback, fabs. What's the difference between looks? Put it

732
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: this way, the difference in Larry Fitzgerald's value. If Kevin

733
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: Cobb is the quarterback versus John Skelton b in the quarterback. Well,

734
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: if we look at the numbers. Last year, Larry fitz

735
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: had eight touchdowns. Six of those came from the hand

736
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: of John Skelton, and the yardage and the receptions were

737
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: were kind of close. There wasn't a huge discrepancy in

738
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: terms of Cobb versus Skelton when it came to Fitzgerald,

739
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: but the touchdown passes were the big thing. And to

740
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: me as a fantasy fan, I like Skelton better than Cobb.

741
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: Not because I think Skelton is going to become a

742
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: number one fantasy quarterback. Maybe he becomes a decent two

743
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: and a matchup based starter, but because of what he

744
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: does to the value of Arizona's best fantasy player, and

745
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: in my opinion, he improves it. I'll tell you what

746
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: Skelton or remember Technos Super Bowl too and you have

747
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: Tim Roseen ball the Cardinals quarterback before he went to

748
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: go be a Kafrow. But yeah, I ended up just

749
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: running Johnny Johnson all the time. That's the way I

750
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: feel about the Cardinals right now. People don't realize it.

751
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: In wiz and Hunt with with Pittsburgh. Okay, they ran

752
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: the football when he was in Pittsburgh, that's what he

753
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: likes to do. Yes, they aired it out when Kurt

754
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: Warner was there and Todd Haley was receivering. I get that,

755
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: but you don't have Kurt Warner back there anymore. So

756
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: even if John Skelton wins a job, he's not gonna

757
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: go back there flinging the ball forty five times a game.

758
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: I would not start John Skelton in a team league,

759
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: and I mean that I'm not trying to be funny.

760
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't start him in a twenty team league. I

761
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: don't think he's an option at all. And no, I

762
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't start him either. But what he does for Larry

763
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald's value is if they go into this season and

764
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: they and they're saying Kevin Cobb is our starting quarterback.

765
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: If I'm drafting into the first round, middle of the

766
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: second round and Larry Fitzgerald is up there. I'm not taking.

767
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: But if John Skelton's the quarterback, then I'll say, okay,

768
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: before before we get to break, before we get to break. Uh.

769
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: Last year's skeleton had a three hundred yard game his

770
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: last four games, to eighty two and to seventy one.

771
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 1: That to me is a matchup based starter, without doubting,

772
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: possibly a number two fantasy quarterback. Those are good numbers.

773
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: Those are good numbers. There. It is agree or disagree

Speaker 1: up this August or early September. And also, there is

780
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: a brand new running back to hit our rankings this

781
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: week after he was signed by a team that is

782
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: in a bad need of running backs. We'll tell you

783
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: where you slot him coming up next at series two, ten,

784
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: next and maybe seven. Dalton hands it off Benson trying

785
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: for running it up the medal. He gets to the one,

786
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: he leans forward. There's the signal touchdown, said Ric Benson.

787
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: If you like the NFL, you're going to like NFL

Speaker 1: your questions throughout the rest of our show here today.

793
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: But before we get back to the phones, you heard

794
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: Cedric Benson. A highlight of Cedric Benson touchdown. They're a

795
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: forgotten man. Someone we thought, well, that's it for Cedric Benson.

796
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: He's done. Now. Suddenly he is so far back in

797
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: fantasy relevance. We didn't see it coming. Signed by the

798
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, he said. He turned down another couple

799
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: of teams before he made his decision to go to

800
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: Green Bay. So suddenly now you have to consider him

801
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: to be the favorite to take over the job from

802
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: James Starks, because they wouldn't have signed him if they

803
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: thought James Starks was going to be able to carry

804
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: the load. He looked good early in camp. The last

805
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks they've not been not been happy with

806
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: James Starks. So here comes Cedric Benson. They don't run

807
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: the football a lot in Green Bay. I feel like

808
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: the most interesting man world. They don't on the ball

809
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: a lot in Green Bay, but when they do, they'll

810
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: run With Cedric Benson. How does he debut when your

811
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: rankings fabs, He's to me in the mid thirties. He's

812
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: somebody that could be a possible flex starter. As you mentioned,

813
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: they don't run the ball very much. I interviewed Greg

814
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: Jennings earlier this off season and he said that they

815
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: want to make a point of improving the effectiveness of

816
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: the running games. So there's still a lot of running

817
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: backs there now there, and they're all sort of whole hum.

818
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: Benson's the best out of the bunch. You've got James Starks,

819
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: who clearly has been unoppressive in training camp and he's

820
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: dealing with turf toe. You've got Alex Green, who's coming

821
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: off of an a c L who's fighting for that

822
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: third down job in that offense. So Benson won't be

823
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: a featured back. But right now, to me, if I

824
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: had to pick a Packers running back to draft in fantasy,

825
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: it would be Cedric Benson. But I wouldn't want him

826
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: playing a huge role on my fantasy team. Yeah, I

827
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 1: think I I think I avoid him. Cedric Benson starting

828
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: to flex from me last year, but he was also

829
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, he was a clear cut number one in

830
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: Cincinnati last year, and we don't really know what his

831
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: role is gonna be in Green Bay. I will say this,

832
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: the Packers do need to run the football. I understand

833
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: that their offense is explosive. But what is running the

834
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: football do for you? Well, it slows down the pass rush,

835
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: that's sure. What it helped against the Giants in the playoffs. Yeah,

836
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: but it works so well for them. I think they're

837
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: gonna look at this game and say, well, we weren't sharp.

838
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: They had practiced what one time all week because you

839
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: had the death of of Philbin's son that was very tragic,

840
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: and they just weren't sharp. They if they played that

841
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: game a week from when they played, they would have won.

842
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers missed some open plays. I think they go

843
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: into the season thinking last year was a missed opportunity.

844
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: We were the best team in football. We're gonna continue

845
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: to do what we do. I don't see it and

846
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: an overall jump to run the football anymore. I mean,

847
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, John Cohen is gonna get his forty five

848
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns on forty five carries, but I don't see, you know,

849
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: Cedric Benson gonna be someone that they can Reliance's gonna

850
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: suddenly carry the balls. Understand that. No, I just I

851
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: think that Benson is he's he's a flex hopefully, and

852
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: I think you drag him and think, well, maybe let

853
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 1: somebody else say, Cedric Benson on the Packers, they're gonna

854
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: run the football with him, He's gonna do so well.

855
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take him early because he's a guy coming

856
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: off three thousand yards seasons. All that stuff is true,

857
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: but they're just not going to commit to run the football.

858
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: I understand that. But also keep in mind that if

859
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: you hit Jennings for text, Cob for twenty and Jordy

860
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: for a thirty five yard touchdown, you're not giving your

861
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: defense much of a blow. And I mean Green Bay's

862
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: defense struggles. Stop scoring touchdowns, Aaron Rodgers. Listen, Aaron, we

863
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: we have to stop scoring touchdowns. We need to take

864
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: some time off the clock with some drives, maybe fumble,

865
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe throw a pick, maybe call a couple of time outs.

866
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: But this whole three place in a touchdown thing. This

867
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: is not working for US, amore, but how often just

868
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: just trying to outscore everyone when you're the Super Bowl.

869
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: It didn't work for New England, did it. No, it didn't.

870
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: But I don't think they're gonna change their philosophy and

871
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: suddenly become a team that we're gonna work. We got

872
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: Cedric Benson, now, I mean, there's a reason Cedric Benson's

873
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 1: out on the street, and I agree. I'm just saying

874
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: it's smart for Green Bay to try to run the football.

875
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: Whether center Benson is a viable flex option, you know,

876
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: I'll lead that up to you. And by the way, Fabs,

877
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: I got a text here from Fish guy used to

878
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: work at UH while worked in this industry a long

879
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: time with He's very disappointed. I didn't know Callen Johnson's

880
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: numbers as well. I have to say I was a

881
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: little the first too. That's the first time all. Let

882
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: me tell you there at one point, I think Harris

883
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: and I were out hanging out some place, grabbing dinner

884
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, and I we were talking about

885
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: Yankees because I'm a big Yankes fan, and then you

886
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: talked about the Rangers and how the Yankees and the

887
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: Rangers had these rivalries going on in the playoffs, you know,

888
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: back back in the day, and Harrison named off their

889
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: whole starting lineup in like a freak nineteen ninety whatever

890
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: it was and telling me he he and and and

891
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: the most impressive thing was that you knew exactly the

892
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: batting average, the home run total in the r b

893
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: B I total of Pete Incavilia one year. And I

894
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. I looked at on Pro Baseball Reference

895
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: dot com and I said, he's right on. He knew

896
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: every single one. So Fish, I'm a little disappointed inherit.

897
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: Guess when we were at the Super Bowl at a

898
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: bar one night, we sat down and I had on

899
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: my phone the three NFL. He said, I bet you

900
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: I could do everybody in the three NFL draft. I said, really,

901
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: top to bott So we spent like an hour. It

902
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: was awesome. And said, Okay, going through the pick eight

903
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: three NFL draft, I want to say, eventually he got

904
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: two or three wrong. Couple had to give him a

905
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: hint on and said, okay, this guy was this, this

906
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: guy was this, But he got everybody, everybody from the

907
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: first round of the eighty three. Everybody knows the quarterbacks.

908
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: No one knows whoever else was taking the eighty three draft,

909
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: and you just need a little bit of hit. You

910
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: got him all. So I gotta say the Calvin Johnson

911
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: thing is is you know, it's a little disappointing. I

912
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: speaking of draft picks, what do you think about what

913
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's doing with his draft pick? Oh, I'll tell

914
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: you what I know. Russell Wilson right now here, here's

915
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: what the Seahawks are doing. It's now gonna be a

916
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn Russell Wilson show this week. And Wilson, Wilson

917
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 1: had a pretty good game. He did that, and that's fine.

918
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 1: But here's here's where reality is going to trump fantasy.

919
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: And that's at some point the front office is gonna

920
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: sit Pete Carroll down and say, Pete, I just want

921
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 1: to show you the contract that we gave to Matt

922
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: Flynn this season to come in to be our quarterback.

923
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: And you were on board within and see all this

924
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: right here, this is what we're paying him. And if

925
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: you start Russell Wilson, that does not make us look good.

926
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: So it's gonna it's gonna wind up being Matt. Maybe

927
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson winds up winning the backup job and hey,

928
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: he's pushing Matt Flynn. You never know, but Matt Flynn

929
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be the guy out of the gate in Seattle.

930
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: There there's there would be Pete Carroll would lose all

931
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: sorts of of credibility and in the city would be

932
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: would be engulfed in the biggest controversy. If the big

933
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: thing you did was go out and sign a quarterback

934
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, he's our guy, and two months later,

935
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: I like what this guy, what this kid has done

936
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: in preseason O t A s and say he's your starter.

937
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: Matt Flyn is gonna be the starter. Sure, you know.

938
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: And and from a fantasy perspective, you look at Seattle's

939
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers and tight end and you look at these

940
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who don't have a lot of experience. So by

941
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: the way Matt Flynn has started two career games, you

942
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: gotta figure there's gonna be interceptions. And I know, interceptions

943
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 1: or not something that we talked about a lot in fantasy,

944
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 1: but they do cost you points. FABS mentioned John Skelton

945
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: has Skelton had some big yardage totals, but every one

946
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: of those games he threw two interceptions, three interceptions. I think, Skelton, actually,

947
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 1: I've got a stats page up right now. Fourteen interceptions

948
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,479
Speaker 1: and only two five attempts. You talked about Philip Rivers

949
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: at the top of the show. Where would you place him? Well,

950
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: the only reason why Philip Rivers wasn't a top performer

951
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: last year were those twenty interceptions. It was minus forty

952
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: points for you, just like that. So I just saw

953
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: a little bit of breaking news come across the wire. Here,

954
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: Oh wee, breaking news here NFL Fantasy Live, what is it?

955
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and Fantasy is reporting that Evelyn Lozada has

956
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: filed for divorce from Chad Johnson after six weeks of marriage,

957
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: which means that the Kim Kardashi and Chris Humphreys wedding

958
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: marriage is now what maybe two months longer than or

959
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: a month longer than these guys hit together. So Chadd

960
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: Johnson has had a pretty bad a week, spend a week,

961
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: spend a night in jail, and I got cut by

962
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and now his wife of six weeks has

963
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: filed for divorce. If you're in a celebrity marriage fantasy

964
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: league and you had Chad Johnson, Evil Lonzatto, You're you're

965
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: you're really bumming. You need to hit the waiver wire

966
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: right now. You need to get in the waiver wire.

967
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: What's sad about this? For all, for all the antics,

968
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: and for all this stuff that's come out about Chad Johnson.

969
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: Chad Johnson was a good ball player. I mean he

970
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: really was. I mean from a reality or fantasy since

971
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: obviously he has the numbers, but the guy would go

972
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: over the middle and take a hit. And to me,

973
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: he was a better player than t. J. Houshmans Otta was,

974
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: and Menzata got a lot of credit. And I just

975
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: think it's sad that this is the if this is it,

976
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: that the punch line on his career is just that

977
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: he was kind of a knucklehead, fun guy and it

978
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: ended like this at stinks because he was a very

979
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: good player for the better part of a decade. You know,

980
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: he's he's His career is a lot like Shack's career,

981
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: where they both got to a point where they realized

982
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: entertaining is much more fun than actually playing, and Shack

983
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: really stopped. He relied in physical talents all the way

984
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: till the end, never really tried to develop a lot

985
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 1: of game because he was look, I'm a big bully,

986
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: and he wore that as as a sense of pride.

987
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: The same thing with Chad Johnson. He was a great

988
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: player for a long time then realized I want to

989
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: be somebody different. And when you're somebody different, I mean,

990
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: how much has he done on the field. I mean

991
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: you couldn't grasp the Patriot system. If you study, you

992
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: can grasp the Patriot system over the course of the season. So, yeah,

993
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 1: it's too bad that that's how it's gonna end. Smith,

994
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,480
