Speaker 1: again at some point. Also joining me today and a

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: guy who was joining our staff, our new fantasy reacher researcher.

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Some of you who are deep into fantasy Twitter probably

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: know him. He does work over at fan tracks. Uh

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: he's done a podcast over at fan tracks, and now

41
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: he is joining our staff here and it is it's

42
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: Michael Florio, not the one you're probably thinking of, but

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: as our own Michael Florio, Mike, welcome to the team.

44
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: Glad to have you here, Thank you so much, thanks

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: for having me on. And yeah, I get everyone who

46
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: meets me basically ask if I'm related or if I

47
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: am that mich Floria. So, uh, you know what, if

48
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: it makes you feel better, our own Michael Fabiano shares

49
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: names with an opera singer, and uh, I think there's

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: crossover in their tweet mentions as well, you know, people

51
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: looking for opera tips versus you know that. I think

52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: the opera guy gets you know, angry fantasy tweets to

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: every Well, we've worked with a guy here named Tom

54
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Brady's right at the NFL. Imagine that. And then behind

55
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: the glass currently is a guy named Eddie Murphy. We

56
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: just went ahead and started calling on Eddie Spaghetti to

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: avoid any confusion on that. Maybe that's what you need

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: to do with this, Michael Floria, just go informal with

59
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: the Michael is not enough friend. It doesn't help too

60
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: that one he covers football, and to that he doesn't

61
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: have a personal Twitter account, so I guess that will

62
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: search his name I come up and I get angry

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: tweets all the time. All right, Well, by the end

64
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: of this episode, Marcus g your show, but I think

65
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: we need to determine a new name for Michael Floria

66
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: for for your own good that that'll be something we

67
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: put out on Let's put that out to the Twitter

68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: verse maybe and see if we can make that happen.

69
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: So pointed to talk about today. We'll certainly talk about

70
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: some of the a f C North teams because we

71
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: have notorious Steeler fan here, Dave Damn check with us

72
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: and we'll talk some Steelers, some Browns. Um also talk

73
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: about name pronunciations because there's a quarterback in the National

74
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Football League who told us that we have been pronouncing

75
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: his name wrong the whole time. And we'll also talk

76
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: to Liz Loza, who's an analyst over at Yahoo Fantasy,

77
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: get her thoughts on some guys who can bounce back,

78
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: some guys with upside also to good stuff like that.

79
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: But first let's do some news. It's been a long

80
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: off season without a ball, but Fan Duel has spent

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: getting into the best shape of their lives. That means

82
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: Fan Duel is ready for more, because I mean there

83
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: b s h l more ways to play, more ways

84
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: to challenge your friends, and most importantly, more ways to win.

85
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: If you're not a fantasy expert, then fan duel is

86
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: clearly the best place to play. They have all kinds

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: of contests just for casual fans, in particular, Beat the

88
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Score contests are great because they pay out everyone who

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: hits a certain score, so all you have to do

90
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: is finish in the money to split an equal share

91
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 1: the cash. Fan Duel also has new options for playing

92
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: with your friends, because the only thing better than winning

93
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: cash is winning your friends cash. Heck yeah. Best of all,

94
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: fan duel is doing their part to make the preseason

101
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: We will start of news that literally just hit just

102
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: as we were sitting down to start recording this podcast.

103
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: It had been reported earlier that Adrian Peterson was set

104
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: to visit the Washington Redskins. They're gonna talk to him.

105
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: They're supposed to talk to Jamal Charles. They actually worked

106
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: out or Leans darkwa but with darious guys out for

107
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: the season with some I J. P. Ryan and Byron

108
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: Marshall having ankle injuries, Washington has officially signed the thirty

109
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: three year old Adrian Peterson, a guy who played ten

110
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: games last season between Arizona and New Orleans ran for

111
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: just five hundred and twenty nine yards. But uh, as

112
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: I was reading earlier, it is thirty seven yards away

113
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: from passing Jim Brown for tenth all time on the

114
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: rushing list, needs one more touchdown for a hundred. So

115
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: it seems like those things will happen. But Dave, I'll

116
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: start with you. Any reason to be excited that Adrian

117
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: Peterson's in Washington, Well, I I don't love where he

118
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: is as a player. The idea that because Frank Gore

119
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: is the exception that proves the rule that everybody has

120
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: talked about for a decade now, that thirty is not

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: a good number to have on your running back, in

122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: your starting backfield, in fantasy or in real football terms.

123
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: I do think the offensive line could be pretty good

124
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: though in d C they had a lot of bad

125
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: luck there in so there is a chance to make

126
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of hey there. And I do think

127
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: that Alex Smith is in line for a decent season

128
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: as well, So I don't think it's a ridiculous idea.

129
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: And I think you can get him with some great value.

130
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: Who's gonna jump all over Adrian Peterson at this point. Yeah,

131
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: I think he has to go outside of the top

132
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: ten rounds if you get him, maybe as a late

133
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: round flyer. I'm okay we did, but he hasn't played

134
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: will since you look at it. Last year he had

135
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: two big games, but outside of those two games where

136
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: had a hundred nine yards, he topped fifty yards just once.

137
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: So I'm not really interested in ap here. That's kind

138
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: of how I feel like, do not want I guess

139
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: it's it's fun, it's nostalgic. Um. Also, let's keep in mind,

140
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: the guy who has had any problems in the past

141
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: is playing on arguably the worst field in the National

142
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: Football League now in d C, So I we'll see

143
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: how this works out. Also, I've p Ryan could be

144
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: all right still just his rookie season is not enough

145
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: to declare him medioc or Chris Thompson when when he's right,

146
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's um is gonna get mixed

147
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: in there as well. But I think Adrian Peterson. The

148
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: other thing with him is we say, oh, well, he's

149
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: got to be outside the top ten or in an auction,

150
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: some dope in the league. Peterson, he's good, right, and

151
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: somebody will overspend for him, someone will reach for him,

152
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: and he won't be your problem. Speaking, we started the

153
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: show talking about Mike Florio here in the confusion. Remember

154
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: there were two Adrian Peterson running backs in the league.

155
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: It's at one point there was the Vikings Adrian Peterson

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: who became the big time star, and then the Bears

157
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: had an Adrian Peterson who was not quite a big

158
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: time That's right. There was also did you know there

159
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: was a Cam Newton in the NFL somewhere in the

160
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: twenty first century. Yes, there's a Cam Newton. There were

161
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: two Alex Smith's in the league at the same time too.

162
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: One was a tight end and then the other one

163
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: was a quarterback. So my favorite is always the fantasy

164
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: horror stories where someone nominates like the other Adrian Peterson

165
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: and someone jumps into like a thirty dollar bit or

166
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: something in auction and then ends up with that. We

167
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: had Steve Smith as well. Was that it was probably

168
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: the most noteworthy example, and a couple of years ago

169
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: when the Cardinals David Johnson first made hay and people

170
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: were running off the waiver wire, the Chargers also had

171
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: a backup tight end named David Johnson got snagged off

172
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: the waiver wire and a lot of unfortunate leagues. So

173
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: there you go other news headlines. Uh, can I just

174
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: say you make that mistake? Though? If I think you

175
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: gotta listen, you gotta be brutal with this. If you listen,

176
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: if somebody in your league picks up the wrong Steve

177
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: Smith or the wrong Adrian Peterson, tough for them. YEA,

178
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: well it's not who I wanted. Well, then to pay attention.

179
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: That's too bad. No, you get no sympathy from me.

180
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: H A. J. McCarron is needing further testing on his

181
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: collar bone. He's looking for a second opinion after having

182
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: a hairline fracture. Being reported to have a hairline fracture

183
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: after this weekend's game against the Cleveland Browns. The Bill's

184
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: defenders there, they're defensive, saying Josh Allen is impressive. Josh

185
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Allen and the man I'm starting to call office space

186
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: Peter Man, as they're they're battling for the quarterback spot. Uh, Mike,

187
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: do you do you care? Does it matter which I

188
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: wins this job? Sadly? I do care because I'm a

189
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: Bills fans. Oh, that's right, I forgot about that, which

190
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: you I think have doubled the amount of Bills fans

191
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: in the company now. Just you're from New York City,

192
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: How do you want all because you're an age that

193
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: made it so that the first thing you saw was

194
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: the Jim Kelly. Oh, I don't have any like memory

195
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: of that. At least you could go with that, of course, No,

196
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: but I do. I've been watching the quarterback competition, probably

197
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: more closely than than most people, just because I am

198
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: a Bills fan. But I will say I while I

199
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: did not want them to draft Josh Allen, and I

200
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: kind of thought, you know, we were gonna be making

201
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: fun of him a lot. If he got the opportunity

202
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: to start, He's won me over and I think he

203
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: should be the starter coming into Week one. Nate Peterman

204
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: I still I can't forgive him for what he did

205
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: last year, almost causing the Bills their playoff opportunity. But

206
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: other than that, I mean, we don't know. Josh Allen

207
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: has a can and he's a better athlete than Nate Peterman,

208
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: and I think he's played more impressive, Like his play

209
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: has been more impressive than Peterman so far in the preseason.

210
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't see what Peterman is owed why he should

211
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: get first cracket starting. I think you should give it

212
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: to the guy that you drafted to be a franchise quarterback.

213
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Agree with that. I mean, you know, it's funny that

214
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: when you talk to baseball people and there's an up

215
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: and comer, they say, should we put him out on

216
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: the hump? Might ruin his confidence long term? And you

217
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: don't wanna, You don't want to do that for some

218
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: short term benefit. You don't hear that as much in

219
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: the NFL about players and with quarterbacks, that you're gonna

220
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: ruin him for the for the future. But Josh Allen,

221
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: unless the Buffalo Bills, unless anyone in that organization can

222
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: say with any confidence, hey, you know, if things fall

223
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: just right, we could win the Super Bowl. With Nate

224
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: Peterman then why wouldn't you go with the kid. I

225
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: don't understand the lot in the free agency era, why

226
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: you would burn a year of him under your control

227
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: using a guy who you know is not the future

228
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: of the franchise. That's why you drafted Josh Allen because

229
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: you knew you didn't have him in house already, so

230
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: may as well start the future now well, And I

231
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: think that's I think that's a big part of it too.

232
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: As you're talking about, you know, a team that they

233
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: don't they don't have another quarterback that they know they

234
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: can roll with. I mean, it's not like Cleveland where

235
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: you can put Tyrod Trod, you can put Mr Taylor

236
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: under center and and feel like at least you know

237
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some wins and you're gonna be competent

238
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: this year. They have no such I think thoughts with

239
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: with Nathan Peterman and especially he's a big dude who

240
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: can run too. Don't forget about those rookie QB touchdowns,

241
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: and he's gonna make the Bills do play the Chargers

242
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: week two? We don't want to see that? Yeah? Is it? Wait?

243
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: Is that game here in l A? Yes? It is?

244
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: Oh see, I feel like that would just be flashbacks,

245
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I'm sorry it's in Buffalo, okay, because

246
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: I can't imagine Nate Peterman walking back into the StubHub

247
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: Center and not having some sort of flashback he might

248
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: call in sick that right. Uh So that'd be in

249
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: thing to watch there and see how that quarterback situation

250
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: shakes out in Buffalo. A quarterback situation that we kind

251
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: of have a better idea about is in Philadelphia. Carson

252
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: Wentz still working his way back from a late season injury.

253
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: He has been medically cleared for eleven on eleven practice drills.

254
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: We're not gonna see him in the preseason. The Eagles

255
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: have kind of made that clear. So we will probably

256
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: go maybe some combination of Nick Foles although he had

257
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: a minor shoulder injury. Nate Sudfeld has gotten a whole

258
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: lot of work. But I mean, Dave, does it make

259
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: you talk about not rushing? You know, nobody needs to

260
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: put Nathan Peterman out there? Is there need to rush

261
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz back out there at this point? I guess not.

262
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: But by the way, shout out to as my fellow

263
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: Hoosier Nate Sudfeld under center. They're getting his shot at it.

264
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: But either way, Yeah, what I'm fascinated by transcends mere

265
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: fantasy and the real life drama in Philadelphia with the

266
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: soul of the Eagles fan is uh is going to

267
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: be compelling here to see if they revert back? What

268
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: if so that so they start against a really good

269
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: Falcon's defense, you know, and that Falcons team almost beat

270
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: them in the divisional round a year ago. Is it

271
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: possible that the boo birds might come out if Carson

272
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: Wentz is out there for that first one and he

273
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: throws a couple of bad balls there and the fans

274
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: start clamoring for their Super Bowl hero Nick Foles, and

275
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: the whole thing could get sideways. I think that's a

276
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: legitimate possibility. But yes, I think that Carson went you're

277
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get him at great value because

278
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: people obviously covet the short term in in the fantasy draft,

279
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: and so Carson Wentz is gonna slide there. Don't forget

280
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: that he was in line to win the m v

281
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: P a year ago, and so you're probably gonna be

282
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: able to get him in the later rounds at great value.

283
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: Like I say, see, I actually have Carson Wentz is

284
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: a bus coming into this show because you haven't really

285
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: been getting him at a dis kind of least in

286
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: the drafts I've participated in. I've seen him going top

287
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: five six quarterback usually, and I already had concerns if

288
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: he can replicate the success that he had last season.

289
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: His seven point five touchdown per cent twenty six higher

290
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: since post postmar and if you want to go recently,

291
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: it's the sixth highest since two thousand ten. So I

292
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: right there thought that, all right, we're probably gonna see

293
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: that fall back a little bit. It happened to Cam

294
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: Newton after his m v P season. It happened to

295
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan after his So I thought Carson Wentz was

296
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: gonna fall in line with those guys. But now you're

297
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: telling me that he's not gonna get any games in preseason.

298
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: All he needs is one week of eleven on eleven

299
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: practices to be ready. I have concerns there, and I

300
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: also have concerns if he's gonna trust, you know, his

301
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: rushing ability coming in early in the year, or if

302
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a little bit more hesitant to run.

303
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: So I think early on in the year it's gonna

304
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a headache to own Carson Wentz.

305
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: So he's someone that at his current price, I've been avoiding. Yeah,

306
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: I can see that. Um, I think I just kind

307
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: of stayed away from him in general because I don't

308
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. I like him. I think

309
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: he's he's he's a fantastic quarterback with the upside. I

310
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: just think if you're the Eagles from a football and

311
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: actual football standpoint, there's no need to rush that. You

312
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: have your Super Bowl now, right, There's no need to

313
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: rush your guy out there. Potentially you have him messed

314
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: up for a longer period of time because the pressure

315
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: is kind of I mean, I know it's Philadelphia and

316
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: the pressure is never really off, but the pressure is

317
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: kind of off at this point. So I just I'd

318
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: be shocked. But like I say, what if it has

319
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: to be Foals for by hook or by crook, it's

320
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: falls and Foals wins again against a good Falcons team,

321
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: is there gonna be any sort of pressure to say, well,

322
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: we should just stay with Folds now at this point?

323
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I I know that they're not going to

324
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: do that, but that's gonna put Carson Wentz into a

325
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: really tough spot, a tougher bind. If falls performs in

326
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: week one, let's say maybe even week two, how are

327
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: you going to yank the guy? They're gonna put Wentz

328
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: back in there. He is the franchise QB. But you

329
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: know that that's going to add pressure in the toughest

330
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: sports town there is in America. I feel like this

331
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: is a guy from Western pH trying to stoke a

332
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: quarterback controversy with the no, no, no, anyone can tell you.

333
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: I will tell you the Philadelphia Eagles are America's true team.

334
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: Forget the jazz about what happens in Dallas. That's America's team.

335
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: I can get behind that. The Eagles team. Alright. Cool.

336
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Last bit of news. Jerick McKinnon when it's the rest

337
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: of the Niners preseason, suffered a strange half and practice

338
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: last week. Now Matt Brada is already temporarily out with

339
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury. The Niners went and signed Alfred Morris

340
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: last week. That sort of feels like just adding depth. Uh.

341
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: Any reason might to be scared of Jerick McKinnon right now,

342
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: not because of the injury, but McKinnon has I know

343
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sound very negative, like because I said I

344
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: had Wentz as a bus. McKinnon is another person that

345
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: I have been avoiding in drafts this year, and the

346
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: reason is because I worry about him now being this

347
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: workhorse back and we've heard reports that he's not going

348
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: to be that. But and I get it, he's in

349
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: Shanahan system. I like him. I think he's in a

350
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: good position there. But in his two seasons in his

351
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: career where he was asked to carry the ball a

352
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty or more times, his yards per carry

353
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: were below four in each of those seasons, and one

354
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: year it was three point four. He's never really been

355
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: asked to to work near the goal line. So I

356
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: just have concerns if he can hold up and the injury,

357
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: while it's not the reason I'm avoiding him, to me,

358
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: that's one little red flag there, all right. He's already

359
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: got a little being up as the the RB one here,

360
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: so I just have concerns if he can hold up

361
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: to that workload, and if he does, if the efficiency

362
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: will take a hit. Well, listen, you know, consider me

363
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: a guy who stayed at the Carlos Hide party a

364
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: little too long. I think that uh, that I am

365
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: his biggest fan, and I think he is going to

366
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: have a good year up in Cleveland. I don't like

367
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: it from in raw football terms, I like hide over McKinnon. However,

368
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: on the other side, are you gonna are you really?

369
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: Am I in a position to doubt what Kyle Shanahan

370
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: thinks is gonna work best in his system? The bigger

371
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: issue to me is how much is he going to

372
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: have to practically split carries with it with anyone there,

373
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: because they do have a couple of decent options. By

374
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: the way, poor Alfred Morris, you know how productive has

375
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: he been over his career? And he said just this

376
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: afterthought anywhere in the league. It's so weird. Yes, I

377
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: think he could have these I I you know, and

378
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: I like Joe Williams too, But it does feel like

379
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Jered McKinnon with that swap out, is in ended to

380
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: be the feature back in PPR leagues. I don't do PPR,

381
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: but if you do, I think that he has uh

382
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: he has a lot of about Can we just talk

383
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: about the fact that Alfred Morris were not for the

384
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: fact that he played on the same team with r

385
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: G three, Alfred Morris might have been the rookie of

386
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: the Yes except RG three just had a bananas year

387
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: on the same roster that he had. He performed reasonably

388
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: well in Dallas too, Even then he didn't get credit.

389
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: Everyone said he was a product of r G three.

390
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: So poor Alfred morris Man. He's seems like a good

391
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 1: guy and he's a good player. He just can't ever care.

392
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: He might be the Rodney Dangerfield of its haired already. Yeah,

393
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: can't your names. I hope he breaks out, so I

394
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: do too. Anyway, that's pretty much everything you need to know.

395
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: Is this films nothing better than the NFL film This

396
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: is a sixty one, might be a little seventies, a

397
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: little Sam Spence. There is that the turn Sam Spence

398
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: the greatest composer in American Wow. That's good knowledge. Um,

399
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: all right, so let's talk to some some a f

400
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: C North football. He's got Dave damn Schek here, who

401
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: obviously his bailiwick is the Steelers, but can certainly talk

402
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: a lot other things. Maybe the biggest news out of

403
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: that division and maybe in football right now, Josh Gordon

404
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: is back. He made his announcement over the weekend that

405
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: he's back with the team. He hasn't practiced within yet,

406
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: but he's back at practice, he's kind of watching, he's

407
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: back in meetings, all that good stuff. So obviously the

408
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: question becomes with Josh Gordon and Mike. I'm start with you.

409
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: I know you wrote about this recently over fan tracks.

410
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: Where are are you worried about him? Where are you

411
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: drafting him? How are you looking at Josh Gordon? I am,

412
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: and maybe this is wrong with me. I've always been

413
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: a sucker for Josh Gordon. I watched him play and

414
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: I just you could see how immensely talented he is.

415
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: So at any point in recent years where there's been

416
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: a report that he might be back, I was always

417
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: all right, pick him up. He's gonna if he ever

418
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: sees the field again, he's going to be worth it.

419
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: But I think him and Tyrod can I call him

420
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: Tyrod or why not? I think him and Tyro It

421
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: is not an option. I think him and Tyrod are

422
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: just a really good match. And there's this like belief

423
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: that Tyrod Taylor because he doesn't turn the ball over,

424
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: that he's a game manager and he doesn't throw the

425
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: ball down the field, And to me that's just simply

426
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: not true. Uh, In his first season as the Bill starter,

427
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: he ranked third in a DOT average depth of target

428
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: amongst all quarterbacks. Uh it was at ten point seven.

429
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: The year after he was at nine point eight. And

430
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: last year without a true deep threat at all, they

431
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: were thrown out. I mean guys that we might be

432
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: faster than as as their wide receivers. He had an

433
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: eight point eight a DOT would rank nineteenth out of

434
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: forty quarterbacks last year. So he will throw the ball

435
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: down the field. And that's where I think Josh Gordon,

436
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: who is a guy who could do more with less

437
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: than Jarvis Landry, I think he can really benefit there.

438
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: And in the season where Watkins was healthy and he

439
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: had sixty receptions just over a thousand yards and nine touchdowns,

440
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy to think that Josh Gordon

441
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: can replicate in maybe even build off of that, because

442
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: he is the most talented receiver that Tyrod Taylor has

443
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: ever played with, at least in my position. So in

444
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: my opinion, so the fact that he's willing to throw

445
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 1: the ball down the field at times and take those chances.

446
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: I'll take a guy who could do more with less

447
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: than Josh Gordon over his teammates. It's a it's a

448
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: great right coming off a conversation about Alfred Morris. Maybe

449
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: we should put an all underrated fantasy team together. Toe Rod.

450
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's about, but toe anyway, whatever

451
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: his name Taylor is, that is something that people have

452
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: slept on for a few years now. He is one

453
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: of the best deep ball throwers in the NFL. And

454
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: as you point out, yes, Josh Gordon is one of

455
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: the one of the guys that you want in uh

456
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: in that sort of a passing game. Yeah, and yeah, yeah,

457
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: you do the simple math of what Jarvis Landry is

458
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: gonna be doing underneath, in the distraction that he's gonna

459
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: provide to further free up Josh Gordon. Yeah, I love Gordon.

460
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: Going into this season, I did too. I was one

461
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: of the few people who wasn't worried about him being gone. Like,

462
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: I know, it's hard to take teams at face value

463
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: you when they say stuff, but for whatever reason, I

464
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: kind of believed you Jackson in the Browns and they

465
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: said he was just taking time off to get his

466
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: mind right. So I wasn't really worried. Now that he's back, Okay,

467
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: So I know that he's you know, his ADP right

468
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: now is like a fifth round, right, but I feel

469
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: like that's going up right, everybody's gonna be hyped up,

470
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: So you gotta what my third round. Let's hope we

471
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: don't see too much of him in the preseason because

472
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna boost him. Somebody gets to look at Oh,

473
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: he's ready to go better for these guys to stay round.

474
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: So I'm just in third round maybe. So when I

475
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: first drafted him, I did my first draft back in

476
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: early June. I got him at the late fourth and

477
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: I was very excited with that. But it's been climbing

478
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: since and then it started to drop off again. I

479
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: think mid to late third, early fourth is the right

480
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: range for him, right after guys like Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill,

481
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: guys who I think also have similar upside to Josh Gordon.

482
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: I think he belongs in that grouping. All right, Um,

483
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: so this means the days to Cleveland stuff is dead now, right,

484
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: There's there's no way that Cleveland. You don't typically here

485
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: many days after he visits, he goes through the entire

486
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: uh hullabaloo. And then they said, you know what is

487
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: and now that we've thought, had a few days that

488
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: come back. Let's make this work. Now. I hope it's over,

489
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: I said, Josh Gordon's supporter. There you go. I'm wondering

490
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: where he were. All Right, we're getting pretty close. Now

491
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: there is You're gonna lance somewhere he's a receiver that

492
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: that actual would be funny after all the acrimony and

493
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: all the stuff, that he goes back to Dallas. That

494
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: would be kind of interesting. Um. James Conner has been

495
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: getting some work with No Left Bell in training Camper.

496
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: In the preseason, we've seen a lot of James Conner

497
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: and the thought is, Dave Damna check that he could

498
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: be the air apparent to Levian Bell. And one do

499
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: you believe that? And too are you okay with that? No?

500
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, James Connor goes out saying a great story,

501
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: and I think that I just as a general rule,

502
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: like you talked about Josh Gordon's availability this month, I refuse.

503
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: And this is something I encourage everybody to do in

504
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: their next August. Do not get seduced by what you

505
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: see in August. It is a month long live to

506
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: your eyes. Do not let it influence how you're gonna

507
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: draft people in in uh, when you sit down at

508
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: fantasy it has no import whatsoever. Maybe that makes me

509
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: a bad company guy, but that's but that's a fact.

510
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: James Conner getting off behind that offensive line in August

511
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: is not an indication to me one way or the

512
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: other what he's going to be long term with Pittsburgh.

513
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: I think the more in interesting thing is, though, do they,

514
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, after giving him all those touches Levan Bell,

515
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: that is, four touches last year, under the premise that

516
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna move on from Pittsburgh or he may

517
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: move on in t eighteen, they really rand ran him

518
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: into the ground. Don't what does Levan Bell have left you?

519
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: Just there is no historical evidence. Look at Earl Campbell

520
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: and O. J. Simpson to to summon a couple long

521
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: ago examples. There is not a great history for guys

522
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: that keep getting those that level of touches year after year.

523
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: The pounding that you take um that that Levy and

524
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: Bell is ready to have four hundred plus touches again

525
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: this year. I suspect that maybe Mike Tomlin, for the

526
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: good of the Steelers, not Levan Bell's long term future.

527
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: Rather the short term future of Pittsburgh might use James

528
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: Conner in September a great deal more than you saw

529
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: him a year ago. See, I actually take the opposite viewpoint,

530
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: but for the same reasons. I think that they are

531
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: planning on moving on from Levan Bell after this season,

532
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: so I think they're just gonna run him in the

533
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: ground where they have him. I agree, except don't you

534
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: want him fresher for January? That's that would be the

535
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: calculation that would make me think it makes sense. But

536
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: they haven't really shown anything in the past that makes

537
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: me believe that they're gonna And then, by the way,

538
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: as as a wild card guy, Stephen Ridley is not

539
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: a half bad guy to to throw back there not

540
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: in your fantasy lineup, but in real football terms, they

541
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: can spell better than they have the last couple of years.

542
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: I startingly think this, you know, the running back in

543
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: a free agent year who may or may not resign

544
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: with this team, and like whether a team runs him

545
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: into the ground or starts factoring in new people. This

546
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: is sort of the This is sort of the football

547
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: equivalent of the in college basketball do you file with

548
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: a three point lead sort of thing? Do you file

549
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: on the three points or with the three point lead,

550
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: you know that debate Rangers like, I feel like this

551
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: is the new version of that debate that was kind

552
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: of convoluted. But I can completely get what you're what

553
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: you're saying there, and you know, ultimately I guess you

554
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: just go with or at least I'll I'll go with

555
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: pedigree when push comes to shove, and there there are few,

556
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: if any better than twenty six in the NFL. Um

557
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: Another question about the Steelers offense, And I had any

558
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: concerns that this thing is going to look different now

559
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: that Todd Haley is not running the show offensively, No,

560
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: I think it it'll look it'll look very similar. As

561
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, more and more. It's one of

562
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: those situations where seven is making a lot of decisions

563
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: out on the field and uh, and you know the

564
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff is deferential to him, uh to some degree.

565
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna see major differences there. I

566
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: think the big question is at this point is are

567
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: they going to get the two questions I have as

568
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: a Steelers fan? And then from a fantasy perspective, can

569
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: vance McDonald's health allow him to be integrated into that offense,

570
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: because he's the guy who can really take off if

571
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: he's healthy and ready to go out there. I mean,

572
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: he's he's a sneaky good option for your tight end

573
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: this year. And then the other question is, are is

574
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: James Washington? Who's he taking catches away from Antonio Brown?

575
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: It's weird if you think about Antonio Brown, and I've

576
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: gotten on and on about his greatness historically, is you

577
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: don't feel like when you watch him play, you don't

578
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: feel like, boy, they're just trying to jam the ball

579
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: into him, no matter what. He gets his ten or

580
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: twelve targets, no matter what. Don't worry about eighty four.

581
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm more interested in do it. Just avoid Juju and

582
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: j Washington both until one until something clarifies there because

583
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: it's hard to determine who the who's gonna be the

584
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: guy in opposite eighty four There for more for more snaps. Yeah,

585
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: I still believe in Juju, and I'm kind of coming

586
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: around on James Washington. Is at least a late round

587
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: dart throws sort of thing. Uh, And I started with you, Dave,

588
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: I think this offense is too veteran. There's too many guys.

589
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: They're like A B and Roethlisberger, Like, I don't think

590
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: it matters quite so much who the O C there

591
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: is now. These guys they've been they've been working together

592
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: long enough they can figure out how to be success,

593
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: and they promoted their QB coach to O C. So

594
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: I believe that he's gonna continue to run the offense

595
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: similar to what we've seen in years past, maybe put

596
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: his own little twist on things. But I haven't really

597
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: worried about the O C change for Washington. I think

598
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: it is worth mentioning that Mark Tavis Bryant last year

599
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: did have eighty four targets, So I think Washington is

600
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those guys he's better than. Like

601
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: a Best Ball draft, I think he's gonna be inconsistent.

602
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: We know he is a good deep throat down the field.

603
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna be able to pick the

604
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: weeks that he has a good game if everyone is healthy.

605
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: But I think there will be some weeks where he

606
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: outperforms what you expect. That's why I think he's better

607
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: in the Best Ball. I still think he's kind of

608
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: built weird, and he wears number twenty eight, which makes

609
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: me think He's like a running back that got split up.

610
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: It is very straight. Yes, weirdo numbers UH trip me

611
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: up all the time, that's for sure. And you're right

612
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: for a guy who's whose chief asset with or quality

613
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: would seem to be the balls, He's not built like

614
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: Mark Davis Bryant is built for. This guy does not

615
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: seem that. And yet the evidence from Oak State and

616
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: now in preseason as much as I again caution you

617
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: to be what you're watching there, um yeah, I mean

618
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: he he clearly has that gift. He he knows how

619
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: to do it. He's got that an Kuom Bolden kind

620
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: of old man strength. Uh. Come other notes about the

621
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: a f C. North, I'm starting to believe in what

622
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm calling the flat connaissance that that Joe Flacco is

623
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: going to rebound in that offense is going to come

624
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: with him. Am I Am I crazy for thinking this?

625
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: Am I am? I out there on a big fat

626
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: limb or what maybe a little bit I saw you

627
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: that you put this in the rundown And I checked

628
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: out Joe Flacco right away to see if there was

629
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: something that maybe you're seeing And I would love to

630
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: like kind of know what it is that you believe

631
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: in Joe Flacco. I just look at him as someone

632
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: who's always been a better real life quarterback and doesn't

633
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: put up monsters. That part is true, but I look

634
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: at it as one he'll be a little bit healthier

635
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: this year. Um, and I just I'm starting to buy in,

636
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: mostly in his weapons, you know, with Matt Michael Crabtree, there,

637
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 1: John Brown, if he's healthy and can play again. Uh,

638
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm starting to buy into. Maybe it's the

639
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: the hair coming out of the back, but Hayden Hurst

640
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: is starting to get me excited. So I I feel

641
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: like there are there are more options there in this

642
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: offense there have been in the past, and that combined

643
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: with his health plus I just keep holding onto this

644
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: narrative true or false, that Lamar Jackson will do for

645
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco with Patrick Mahomes did for Alex Smith last year.

646
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: So that's that's where I'm coming from. You might be

647
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: the only fantasy analyst rooting for Joe Flacco because everyone

648
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: just wants I'm rooting for Joe. I want to see

649
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, But at this point, like Lamar hasn't shown

650
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: enough that he's going to get on the field. Consistently,

651
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens have said flat out that this is Joe

652
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: Flacco's job. So this is that part is me just

653
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, accepting the reality of the situation

654
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: and just trying to see what could happened from there.

655
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: What are we talking about, though, I mean, in fantasy terms,

656
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco doesn't have any value. I do think I

657
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: do think that Joe Flacco and that Ravens team does

658
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: wind up back where you usually see him vying for

659
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: the division title. No one's talking about them, but I

660
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: think that they're your second place team out of the North,

661
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: and I think Flacco probably will have a fine season,

662
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: but relevant and fantasy terms, that's a reach to me,

663
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: and I do think it's a little crazy that everyone

664
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: is just kind of like writing off the Ravens if

665
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't for any adult in in that you know,

666
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: incredible fourth down playlist year they make their defense. Here's

667
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: the thing in an age where everybody swoons for the

668
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: Jags rightly and a couple other defenses, no one's talking

669
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: about what they have going in Baltimore, and that defense

670
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: is ready to dominate once again look out, and I'm

671
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: that that doesn't have anything to do with old man sugs.

672
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: Either continues to be a marvel. But I mean overall

673
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: that secondary is loaded. Look out for that. They play

674
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: the Bills week one, so they are my favorite defense

675
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: to stream. You know what. But but but that also contributes. Obviously,

676
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: if you have this dominant defense, they're not going to philosophically.

677
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: Then when they get the ball have five slinging it

678
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: all over the place. Yeah, that's probably true. All right,

679
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: last bit for the f C North. Why can't I

680
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: get excited about the Bengals like at all? I mean,

681
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: I like a J. Green, I can't really. Okay, this

682
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: is probably gonna be a controversial take here, and I'm

683
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: just gonna throw this out here on the podcast. I've

684
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: said this before. Equality in America is not Barack Obama

685
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: being elected president. Equality is Marvin Lewis being mediocred head

686
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: coach and not getting fired after all these years. Pretty

687
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: hot take. I've said it. I've said this now. I

688
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: can't believe I've been saying this for five years and

689
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: I can continue to make this statement in about twenty

690
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: five or forty years from now, an inquisitive young football

691
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: fan will We'll look back at Marvin Lewis's deeds in

692
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: the league, and say, how did a man who achieved

693
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: such perpetual mediocrity retain his job for as long as

694
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: he did in a league where most franchises if you

695
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: if you have one down year, like yeah, that's enough.

696
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: How did Marv keep this gig so long? And how

697
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: is Andy Dalton still his QB? What evidence is there

698
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: that this is a winning formula? How incredible is it

699
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: that last year their season was so bad but they

700
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: played spoiler at the end and they were like, all right,

701
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: we're bringing you back there. We're gonna bring bigger and

702
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: bring back Marvin Lewis. And his response to tell yeah,

703
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, he didn't even seem excited about

704
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: coming back for another year. And if if their head

705
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: coach isn't excited, there's no reason you should be all

706
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: right cool, that makes me feel better because maybe if

707
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: their offensive line is a little bit better, because that

708
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: was sort of the the hidden ingredient when they when

709
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was kind of in that m v P

710
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: conversation nation before he got hurt three years ago. If

711
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: you'll remember that, that's getting a little bit long in

712
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: the rear view mirror there. But again, it's hard to

713
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: not be seduced by the collection of skilled position players

714
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: that fourteen surrounded with. I mean, the only limitation of

715
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 1: that offense is that their quarterback is Andy. I bought

716
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: into that last year and it did not work out.

717
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: But it's better now. It's even better. Even a j

718
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: Green having him on your team last year was not

719
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: because they had a buma line. If the offensive lines

720
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: a little bit better than fourteen should be a little

721
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: bit better. Maybe Tyler Boyd. I know this is anecdotal,

722
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: but that one play maybe springs him. He's a talented

723
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: slot guy, potentially Buffalo's favorite receiver. My favorite memory is Andy,

724
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: Dalton and Tyler. But all right, that's good. Alright, So

725
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: we're not excited about the Bengals, but I am excited

726
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: about my next guest joining me now. One of my

727
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: favorite people in the fantasy world and on Twitter, it

728
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: is Liz Loza over at Fantasy Sports at Yahoo. You

729
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: can find her on Twitter at Liz losa underscore f

730
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: is how are you? I'm wonderful, Marcus, how are you?

731
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: How is? Candon Canton was outstanding? Wish you could have

732
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: been there, but believe me that your guy. Brad Evans

733
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: held it down for everybody. Brad's a madman. He held

734
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: it down for everybody. I it does not surprise me

735
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: at all. I was actually booked for a work function.

736
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: Otherwise I would have been there myself. I like to Canton,

737
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: Ohio growing up in the Midwest. It's like a weird

738
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: place that I had fawn memories from. This was my

739
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: first trip to Canton. I had never been there before,

740
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: so it was it's it's a charming little town, you know. Obviously,

741
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: the the center of it is the Hall of Fame.

742
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: But it was great. I enjoyed it, very cool, anxiety,

743
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: had a good time. Thanks for thanks for helping Brad

744
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: and his King's Classic out. Absolutely so. I want to

745
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: get your thoughts obviously Fantasy football wise, you wrote recently

746
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: about some of your rebounds. Actually, you wrote a group

747
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: piece as some of your your rebound people and your

748
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: rebound option. Your candidate for this year was Jamison Crowder.

749
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: Sell me on why you like Jamison Crowder a bounce

750
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: back this year? Yeah. Well, first of all, you untioned

751
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: Brad Evans, like if he won't quit, Darrell Prior and

752
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: your boy Matt Harmon won't shut up about Tyler Lockett,

753
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: and I refused to give up Crowder. Listen, I know

754
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: that he had a down season in seventeen. He wasn't

755
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: able to build on the momentum of its twenty sixteen

756
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: break up. But it wasn't because he's not talented. It's

757
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: because he wasn't healthy. He had his injury just ahead

758
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: of Week one that he played through, and you know

759
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: when players played through injury sometimes that causes that cascade effect,

760
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: which which was the case for Crowder. He wasn't really

761
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: healthy until like the back half of the season, and

762
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: when he was finally healthy over the final sixth week,

763
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: he turned four end zone looks into three scores. It's

764
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: a pretty solid conversion rate. And it's also worth noting

765
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: that he finally found the end zone in week twelve,

766
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: which was the same time that Chris Thompson exited the

767
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: line of I'm mentioning that because Chris Thompson is still

768
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: not a hundred percent the team, the Redskins have just

769
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: added added Adrian Peterson. We know he can't catch him

770
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: any balls. That even more look for Crowder. I love

771
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: his situation and hello the romance between Alex Smith and

772
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder is apparently blossoming at almost in a springtime rate,

773
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: if you will, and there's still sets match so perfectly.

774
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: This seems like a fantasy marriage made in heaven. I've

775
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: been I've fearlessly forecasted Crowder to have seventy one catches,

776
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: eight hundred and seventy seven yards and six touchdowns this season. Alright,

777
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: I've been big. I have been kind of promoting Josh

778
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: Dockson as a sleeper. Paul Richardson is kind of a

779
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: deep sleeper. Any concern that those guys sort of eat

780
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: into Jamison's production, I don't think so. I think they

781
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: eat into each other's production, frankly. And also, if you

782
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: have a healthy Jordan Reads, then there go your there's

783
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: another potential red zone option that's going to to feed

784
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: from or be taken away from both Richardson and Dockson.

785
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: Means to me Dockson of the two, I like Richardson

786
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: more frankly, because I think he can do more than

787
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: Dockson can do. And I do think that if Duckson

788
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: was going to turn into something, it would have happened already.

789
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: I like if hop they're really great, But if you're

790
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: looking for a PPR stud especially, like I said, with

791
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson, not a pcent. Jamison Crowder is going to

792
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: be the guy. And again I know that here Alex

793
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: Smith pushed the ball down field, but what if he

794
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 1: done so well all the years before that. That's short

795
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: to intermediate yardage game and that is where he and

796
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: Crowder will hook up consistently. All Right. You also wrote

797
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: about your six fantasy picks likely to seek expectations. You're

798
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: all upside team and one of the names, one of

799
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: the names on there is close to my heart as

800
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: a usc alum. I want. I want the best for

801
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones. I really do. It hasn't happened so far

802
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Please please, Liz, restore my shattered confidence

803
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: about Joke. I finally relented and moved him down in

804
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: my rank. I mean, because I just can't watch this film.

805
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: And you know, I think sometimes with fantasy owners, we

806
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: have these hotcakes and we're so sure of them, and

807
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: we've done all of the analysis and rationalizing in our heads,

808
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 1: but you have to bend a little bit when evidence

809
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: is showing you otherwise. Right, Like I'm not gonna be

810
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,959
Speaker 1: just because I'm stubborn about something isn't going to will

811
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: it into existence. I like Rojoe a lot, and obviously

812
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: you're a trojan, so you've seen a lot of him

813
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: as well, and what he can do. The hope to

814
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: me is that Dirt Cotter does a lot of Dulby things,

815
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: and there have been I mean, Peyton Barber is not

816
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: new to this team. He's on a one year deal

817
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: and he's getting paid absolute peanuts. He has always been

818
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: an afterthought in Dirk's mind, and it would surprise me

819
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: if he doesn't continue be I mean remember two years

820
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: ago when Horror being don to Quiz Rogers, I don't know,

821
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: like as much as me, Frank, like you know, and

822
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: he was the after down back until surprise, surprise, he

823
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: broke down after twenty five touches or four weeks of

824
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: a twenty five touch workload. And then even last year

825
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: when Doug Martin was working through his suspension, he continued

826
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: to lean on Rogers and then that didn't work out,

827
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: and then Martin came back and he was completely ineffective,

828
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: and it wasn't until like the end of the season

829
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: that he finally turned to Barber, who again I have

830
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: pounded the table for for years, it would be complete

831
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: logic for Catter to lead on him, and he just

832
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: refused to. They're giving him zero money. So while I

833
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: understand he is separating Barber is separating himself from the

834
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: rest of the pack in miss Gasfield, I just don't

835
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: believe that Dirt Carter is um open minded or creative enough.

836
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: Frankly could not want the dude he's selected over Darius

837
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: Guy and use him, even if he's using him in

838
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 1: a way that doesn't bett Rojoe's skill set. And also,

839
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: come on that touchdown during Week one of the preseason.

840
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: I know everyone's focusing on the drops, but like, and

841
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: the white PC is not great, he's not being efficient,

842
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: But that touched down mean he showed some definite bursts

843
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: and what you could do and and that opportunity. You're

844
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: making me feel a little bit better at least that

845
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: I think. Thank you for that. Um. You also tell

846
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: you have Marcus Mariota, he gave he kind of got

847
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: your honorable mention of all the All Upside team at quarterback.

848
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: You had Corey Davis at wide receiver. Um, dare I

849
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: say you kinda maybe digging the Titans offense a little

850
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: bit this year? So I'm digging Matt la floor right,

851
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: because I don't think you can look at a guy

852
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: who's worked under both Kylo Sanahan and Sean McVeigh and

853
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: be like, no, I don't think he's got the good

854
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: when those two offensive minds have ascended to maybe a

855
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: top five behind John Payton and Bill Belicheck in terms

856
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: of offensive creativity and effectiveness. So the first certainly has

857
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: the team tree that you'd like to see. The problem is,

858
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: what does especially Kyle Sandy and playbook is so Danny

859
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: complex and sick. Can the flur in this opportunity teach

860
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: Mariotta and the rest of the Titans offense all of

861
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: the tricks quickly enough? So, like, I know, Mariotta's you know,

862
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: considered a really coachable prospect and and a nice affable guy,

863
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: and he's worked hard with the first guy on the

864
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: field for practice. Um, we see those videos all the time,

865
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: So the question is can be absorbed it quickly the

866
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: way that we're seeing Jimmy g do or the way

867
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: that we saw Jared Goff but Jared Goff do, although

868
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: let's be honest, I mean Seawanickby was definitely playing serrano

869
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 1: diversier acting golf year year, um or is it gonna

870
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: take a minute like it did for Matt Ryan? You know?

871
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: So that is my only question. That's why he's on

872
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: the All Upside team and that's why he gets the

873
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: Honorable Mentioned because I think that the tools are there,

874
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 1: the weapons are certainly there as well, but the question

875
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: is can he processed it quickly enough? And I do

876
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: like the fact that La Fleur came in already, like

877
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: in the spring and was talking about working on Mariota's mechanics,

878
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: one of widening his bass, which he believes would improve

879
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: the zip on the ball and maybe help that downfield accuracy. Son,

880
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: So you know again, I like it. Um It's just

881
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: a side note about the Titan. Delaney Walker was injured

882
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: and he's got this toe issue. I never like to

883
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: see a toe issue. And Walker has been such an

884
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: iron man at the position. But behind him as Johnny Smith,

885
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: who I really liked in moments last year, I thought

886
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: he's flash and he's in nineties two percent I'm sorry,

887
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: ninety two percentile spark athletes. So keep an eye out

888
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: if you're digging the Titan black eye, and to see

889
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: if Walker is limited for an extended amount of time Smith,

890
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: I think is going to get a real opportunity. Um,

891
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: you're running back bus, you're talking about Kenyan Drake and

892
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: I a quick little video about Kenyan Drake. I have

893
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: talked for years about frank Or having just pretty much

894
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: stiff armed the careers of lots of running backs. And

895
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna somehow just put Kenyan Drake

896
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: on the bench. But are you kind of with me

897
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: that Frank Wore is going to do enough to kind

898
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: of wreck Kenyan Drake's fantasy value this year? Yeah. And

899
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to go totally narrative street on this one,

900
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: but frank Or took less money to come home to Miami,

901
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: and there is no way now that he's home, he's

902
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: not going to end with He's not going to punctuate

903
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: the end of his career in his hometown, right, So

904
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: and and Caves picking him for a reason. He's going

905
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: to get those gold line looks. And I know that

906
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: Calin Ballog is getting shooed out by Ryan Tanna Hills

907
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: will by the way, welcome to the NFL. Ryan Tanna

908
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: Hilson's when did you start chewing people out? You know?

909
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: Callon blog is not having the greatest camp. He's he

910
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: is a rookie, but he's also an inch taller and

911
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: about thirteen pounds thicker then Kenyan Drake, who is one

912
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: of these I love this hashtag that you started best

913
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: shape of his life guys five pounds of uncle. But

914
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: ultimately you're looking at Drake and people are drafting him

915
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: as the RB twenty overall for one month of production.

916
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: This is a guy who every draft report said was

917
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: not quote built to be in every down back. Sure

918
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: he could handle it for December, can you handle it

919
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: over sixteen weeks? I don't think so. I think that's

920
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: why they've added Frank Gore especially that helps with those

921
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: hips near the in the red area of the fields,

922
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: and his collage is able to evolve his game a

923
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: little bit. We're looking at a time here other guys

924
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: who are being drafted behind Drake. You've got Lamar Miller.

925
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: I know that he has disappointed, but what are we

926
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: always preaching fantasy volume volume volumes. Miller is gonna get

927
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: the touches. You've also got carry On Johnson and we're

928
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 1: ex Freeman going behind Kennyan Drake. I like their upside

929
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: a lot more for the same price, though, those are

930
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: guys I would take ahead of Drape. Talking to Liz Losa,

931
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: you can read her work over at Yahoo Fantasy. Okay,

932
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: so this isn't necessarily about players, but I gotta add

933
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: a kind of a cool story, right, You took over

934
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: a fantasy draft for a couple, Like why I was

935
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: going into labor. She has a fantasy draft starting at

936
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: that time, can't draft the team you take over? Explain

937
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: exactly how did this? How did this happen? Yeah, it

938
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: was this weird serience of events that occurred. I was

939
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: at our office and in meeting after meeting after meeting,

940
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: and I saw this tweet because I wasn't necessarily paying

941
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: attention to the meetings, but looking at my phone and um,

942
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: I saw the tweets from this gentleman in Nashville saying

943
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: that his wife was going into labor. It wasn't a

944
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: planned labor, these things as a mother who rarely are,

945
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: but if she was going into labor and was refusing

946
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: to auto draft her team, and I was like, well,

947
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,959
Speaker 1: I'll do it for her, and he was like really,

948
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, absolutely, let me. I'm here

949
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: in the building. Let me talk to our product people.

950
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: We've got how to thirty engineers in the building, right,

951
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: like they should be able to figure out some sort

952
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: of hacks. So I reached out to them, and in

953
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: the meantime, I had to I live in the valley,

954
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: which is the four oh five separates where our offices

955
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 1: imply as where versus where I live in the valley,

956
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: and I wanted to go home to draft because um

957
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: my kids were coming home at a certain time, so

958
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to like, if I drafted at the office,

959
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to peach the rush hour traffic

960
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: to get home in time to get my kids. So

961
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: I raced down the four oh five in a totally

962
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: illegal way, never checking my phone as I was driving

963
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: on the freeway, and got home and drafted. Her name

964
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: was Sarah, Sarah's team so that she could focus on

965
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: the task at hand, to be completely present, and you know,

966
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 1: her husband at one point texted like, I can't believe

967
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: this is happening. My wife is pushing away while Liz

968
00:47:54,320 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: losa Is is drafting her team. So I ultimately people

969
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: are people ask me about it now, and I just say, listen, mom,

970
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: we deliver. That's that is fantastic. That's that's a great story.

971
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: Although I asked, so, like, how do how do you

972
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: feel about how the draft turned out? Um? So there

973
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: one one moment I was I got her. I'm like

974
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: really digging Tyler I first. The value at tight ends

975
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: this season because I feel like the time and I

976
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: get it like he and read. I know. I know

977
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: they're so injured from but that is baked into their

978
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: value this season that I don't mind it. And so

979
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm taking Tyler Eifert, but I'm backing him up with

980
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: um like O. J. Howard in a lot of leaks

981
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,919
Speaker 1: if I can, And I really thought I'd be able

982
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: to do that for her, but I was sniped on O. J.

983
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: Howard and I freaked out to a level that I

984
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: normally wouldn't have freaked out because it's not my team.

985
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I can't, said if I take

986
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 1: a secky, I'm reaching. Oh my god. So I like

987
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: wrote this whole paragraph to both of Sarah and Zach,

988
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: her husband, saying like, listen, I know the Tyler I

989
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: Ferst thing looks gets um compared to the bench, but

990
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: I promise you get SETI still on the waiver wire

991
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: if you feel like you need the upside, feel free

992
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: to drop one of these guys like I apologize for

993
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: it or explain my way through it' that is amazing.

994
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: That amazing, all right, so I let you go. I

995
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: always like to ask my guests for their pickup poppy

996
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: thing and pop culture that has caught their attention. They

997
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: feel like they have to share with the rest of

998
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: the world. I have a couple right now. I feel

999
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: like we're living in such an incredible time of television

1000
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: and literature for TV. I finally started to dig into

1001
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: season two of Glow, which is a show by Benjie Cohen,

1002
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: and she is just doing the lord's work on She

1003
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: also created an Orange is the New Black because running simultaneously.

1004
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't her deal at Netflix must be

1005
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: second the only Shonda's Glow. The second season of Blow

1006
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: is taking on rachel inequities working momhood via the like Workers, right.

1007
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's an incredible show that's much more.

1008
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: That's about much more than just ladies wearing leotards and

1009
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: beating each other up. It's about friendships and loyalty and

1010
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 1: a whole lot of things. So I'm I'm loving every

1011
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: single episode of that. And then I have to mention

1012
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: a book I just read. I am an unabaptive book form.

1013
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's considered nurder or whatever. But

1014
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: I read this incredible novel by George Saunders called Lincoln

1015
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: in the Bardo. It is as he does this au

1016
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: basically uses historical quote from the time that he found

1017
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 1: and pulled and then combine it with with his own

1018
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: creative fiction. And so it's basically a retelling of Abraham

1019
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: Lincoln during the time in which his son Willie died,

1020
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: and so they're using all of heat and so they

1021
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: also is using all of this factual information to describe

1022
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: Lincoln's demeanor. But also he's created this whole underworld which

1023
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: includes Willie's ghosts and different ghosts um from people of

1024
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: the era. And it's so character rich and just incredible,

1025
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: not just about the love between a parent and a

1026
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: child and that intensity, but also stems into a million

1027
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: other issues. And I had never read anything so creative.

1028
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 1: It's like the first time I saw Memento, I was like,

1029
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I don't know if I like that

1030
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: or not, but I've never seen the story told that way.

1031
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: And that's really how I feel about this. But plus,

1032
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm from Chicago, so anything Abraham Leon came heared, really,

1033
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: um really Israelly in my wheelhouse. So I loved that. Again,

1034
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: It's Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders. It is

1035
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: a heavy read, though, so you know, don't take that

1036
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: to the beach, all right. I always appreciate a good

1037
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: book recommendation, so I will keep that one, am. I

1038
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: also some good news for you. I don't know if

1039
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: you saw this morning, but Glow has been already renewed

1040
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: for season three, so you'll have more of that to

1041
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: look forward to. I hadn't. I hadn't. I am considering

1042
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: being Eddie Galton for Halloween. I mean, I think I've

1043
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: got some Liberty Bell in me. It might work. That

1044
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: would be fantastic. Liz appreciate the time, great stuff, Thanks

1045
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: to take care of Thank you so much. Thanks to

1046
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: Liz Losa for her time. You find her work over

1047
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: at Yahoo Fantasy. Also find her on Twitter at Liz

1048
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: Loza Underscore f f Alright, so we talked about it

1049
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: a little bit at the top of the show. Uh

1050
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, we've been doing it wrong, apparently, it's not Tyra.

1051
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: Well it has been to you guys. I guess his

1052
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 1: father calls him Tyrod. His mother calls him to Rod,

1053
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: which I feel like Mom kind of trumps that. She

1054
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: kind of wins in that one. So I know the

1055
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: official stance of NFL media is that he is to

1056
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: Rod Taylor. So what I want to do is go

1057
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: through some names in football and outside of football that

1058
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: tended to have sort of fluid pronunciations, And so I

1059
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: wanted to get you guys take on how you pronounce

1060
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 1: some of these names. So give me that drum loop please.

1061
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: All Right? Steelers running back is it Levian Bell or

1062
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: Levian Bell? I'm going leve it's live Belle. Alright, So

1063
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 1: we got Levian? All right? Uh? Falcons running back DeVonta

1064
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: Freeman or Davanta free I believe DeVante is the proper way,

1065
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: but I say Davante. Is that right? It's supposed to

1066
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: be Devanta? I think no, I've been doing it wrong,

1067
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 1: and now I feel ashamed I've been calling him Davante.

1068
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 1: This ang the time, all right? So long time kicker

1069
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: Adam Vinitari or Adam Vinattieri, Vinitari vine Terry. I've never

1070
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: heard the other way. I've heard it the other way.

1071
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: I've heard the other way. I go Vinitarry, That's how

1072
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: I've I've always pronounced it, Um Cardinals safety? Is it

1073
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: antoine buffet or antoine buet up? I say, you say

1074
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm going old school, but they I think that. I

1075
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: think that he actually has pronounced multiple ways himself. So

1076
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: that adds no clarity to the situation. Whatsoever? Um all right?

1077
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: Getting away from football? Charlie's throne or Charlie's throne. I've

1078
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: never been clear on this, and I mixed and match

1079
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 1: it myself, the same competition about her. I'm gonna go

1080
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know who this is. Sorry, you don't know

1081
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: who Charlie's throne is. I don't know what to make

1082
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: this is this? This is ground. The segments will halt here.

1083
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: I haven't been this upset since cole Wright announced that

1084
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: he had never seen good Fellows with the Godfather. I've

1085
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 1: seen good fellows. I've never seen Wow. What's wrong with you? Okay?

1086
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: Next one? Don't know who throne is Demi Moore or

1087
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: de me More. I know it's to me because it

1088
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: was Demi for a long time. I'm guessing this is Okay,

1089
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 1: you know who that is, border one, Borderline, you know

1090
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: who the me more is. But it wasn't no, at

1091
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: least their own. So I'm confused here. And he looked

1092
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: her up yet look her up on your computer there

1093
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: and you did, still didn't know her. She won an

1094
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: Academy Award, bub but she was in makeup, didn't look

1095
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: like herself. And that's true. Did you see did you

1096
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 1: see mad Max? No, this is something I was getting

1097
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: made for. You know what, a lot of movies I

1098
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: haven't seen. You know what, Marcus G I think that

1099
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: this is actually good news for the fantasy players out there.

1100
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: He has, He's not distracted with this is all this is.

1101
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: His whole life is just is working the numbers for you.

1102
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: That's great. Okay. Last couple, um character actor Steve Simmy

1103
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: or Steve Bushimmy. I'm going Bush That's how I've always gone.

1104
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: And then last one we'll stay closer to home here

1105
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: in NFL media. Is it Dan Hansas or Dan Han Zeus?

1106
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 1: I mean I've never understood the the the entire family's

1107
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: refusal to embrace what could be the coolest thing ever. Zeus, right,

1108
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: the god of gods. He throws lightning bolts, and you're

1109
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: just gonna you're just gonna prosist it. Well, why we go? Well,

1110
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: and he's made it hard on us because he refers

1111
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,439
Speaker 1: to himself as the old Susor. But then he says

1112
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: it's pronounced handsas. I'm like, well, that should make you

1113
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: the old Susser and that's just not fun at all.

1114
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: I agree. Mistake, mistake. Anyway, those were some of our

1115
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: fluid pronunciation. Do you ever have, uh ever have conversations

1116
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: with your makers your namers? Uh Marcus and and UH say,

1117
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 1: I know that you tried to make my name special

1118
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: with the extra a M A R C A as,

1119
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: but you've probably devoted If you add up all the

1120
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: seconds that you've spent explaining that to people, No, No,

1121
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: it's pronounced marcus. It's just spelled differently, it probably adds

1122
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: up to like forty five minutes of life that you're

1123
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: never going to get back. Yeah. I've just decided that

1124
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: my parents have doomed me to a lifetime of misspell

1125
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: They were trying that, they were trying to help you.

1126
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: So I talked to Brandon Cooks about that. I like,

1127
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: I bring that up because I like the names Brandon.

1128
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: I said, how you argue was crossed with your mother?

1129
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, but you know what am I

1130
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 1: gonna do with this point? Right? I mean it's your mom,

1131
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: like you can't really be all that upset about it anyway.

1132
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: That'll pretty much wrap it up for us. Thank you today, Damnah,
