But we shall start 119 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. In terms of your top headlines, we've heard 120 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: for weeks now. Chuck po'gonnad reiterated this yesterday. Andrew Luck 121 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: will not be throwing during the Colts mandatory manicamp this weekend, 122 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: added that there is quote no timetable regarding Luk's shoulder. Luck, 123 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: for his part, said told reporters there is no need 124 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: for concern and that he will be just fine. But 125 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: I will ask you, from a fantasy perspective, is it 126 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: time to slide old Andrew Luck down your draft boards? 127 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: Will start with you Markus Cram I think so. Um, 128 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I know Lux says there's no need for concern, 129 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: but um, I'm I'm concerned. I'm concerned. I'm concerned. I mean, 130 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: you know, like he hasn't thrown yet. There seems to 131 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: be no timetable for when he's going to start throwing. 132 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: I mean we're not even talking soft toss, you know, like, yeah, 133 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: that's that's concerning a little bit. So, you know, I think, 134 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, in the long term, he'll still be okay. 135 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: I think he's still gonna be a top ten quarterback. 136 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's it's time to maybe drop 137 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: him out of those you know, I don't know, out 138 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: of the top five or something like that. Right, I 139 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: like that it's not a concern, Like you're like, throwing 140 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 1: is what you do? Not How is that not a concern? 141 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, he's not kicking field goal. It's like, okay, 142 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: that's fine. I can kind of erase that. But throwing 143 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: seems to be a pretty big part of your job. 144 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: Like if you hire a guy like I was at 145 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: Tsunami Sushi the other night, and if the guy was 146 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: like and the guy was trying not to be like 147 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: the chef hibachi chef or whatever, Like if he's like, 148 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: I can't cook now, if he came in for his 149 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: job interviews like I can't cook now, but don't be 150 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: concerned about that, I would be super concerned. Ye alright, 151 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: aren't we nobody dressed quarterbacks now? Anyways? Well, when we 152 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: legislated quarterbacks out of this fantasy like quarterback touchdowns are 153 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: now worth a quarter point? Yeah, Like that's what it is. 154 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I know that you you only get one 155 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: point per one yards. You've gallantly tried to get people 156 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: back on a I feel as if that momentum is 157 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: starting to build. I'm starting to see I'm starting to 158 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: see a lot more people you know, hit me back 159 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: with man, we went with six point touchdowns? It does change. 160 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: And the other thing, too, is why is that not standard? 161 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: That should be standard? You know what? I never liked that, Like, 162 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: why why are we taking points off the board? I 163 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: don't get it. A touchdown is a damn touchdown. It 164 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: should be sick points. They're certain traditionalists that just want 165 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: to level the playing field, that want to make it 166 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,719 Speaker 1: trying to even it out, like that's real and it's real, 167 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: and it's the argument that you laid out is that 168 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: it's so ridiculous because watching the NFL, and I know 169 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: this as a Bears fan, like if your quarterbacks not good, 170 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: your team sucks, or you can find ways to get 171 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: around outside of outside of Andy Reid, like you can 172 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: find what rank? What is that? Like you don't have 173 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: a good quarterback just running to the back of the head. 174 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: Been blessed your nineteen and uh and you're and Aaron 175 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: Rodgers is already talking about the being in the back 176 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: nine of his like little career, and you missed most 177 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: of Far, so you're a far You were like four 178 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: when Far was in his prime. What year were you born? 179 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: His best years were the early nineties. You did that 180 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: like you watched him, like my daughter watches Mike Trout. Right, 181 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: she's not gonna remember it, but you know what she'll 182 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: tell people, Yeah, she'll have a bobble hat. Like I 183 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: was at the game. Remember Trout halfway over the wall? 184 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: That was our first game, by the way, That one 185 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: iconic image where he's going halfway over the wall to 186 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: take back a home run from I think it was 187 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: Nelson CRUs But that's the thing. It's like, you're unless 188 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: Brett Hunley is going to be their third consecutive Hall 189 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: of Famer, I wouldn't be too cocky about ruling. I 190 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: will ask this about Andrew Luck Matt franchise. If he 191 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: misses time our feast docent, certainly that's got to have 192 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: a trickle down effect. Yeah. I was gonna say, like, 193 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: I'll be concerned if we get the training camp and 194 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: Luck they're still mysterious about the timetable. But what I 195 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: was gonna say, is him missing time concerns me about 196 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: all the other guys there. We rely on t Y Hilton, 197 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: we rely on Dante mon Cree for relying on Jack 198 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: Doyle this year, and that offense runs through Andrew Luck 199 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: and all those guys production comes from Andrew Luck right 200 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: speed velocity. Definitely, if he starts missing time in camp, 201 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: I think we need to slide all these guys down. 202 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: If you're not speaking of injuries to Marius. Thomas says 203 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: he has fully recovered from hip issues that hampered him 204 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: literally all of last season. He got banged up in 205 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: Week one versus Carolina. Uh. This combined with the fact 206 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: that he's now reunited with offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. Does 207 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: that mean anything for you in terms of his fantasy value? 208 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: Alex Gilharn does it? Uh? Sure? That was so lukewarm? 209 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: I think no. I think it's a good thing. I'm 210 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: happier that he's that he's fully healthy right now. But 211 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: we also have to wonder what the quarterback situation is 212 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: going to be here. Like Trevor Simeon did fine last year, 213 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: and you know he helped both Thomas and Sanders finished 214 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: with respectable years, nowhere near the heights they did when 215 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: they were playing with pain Manning, who I think might 216 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: have been one of the bigger factors. And Thomas is 217 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: like crazy, crazy, crazy numbers. Not so much Mike McCoy, 218 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: But it's certainly not a bad thing to have him reunited, 219 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: But I'm not going to suddenly jump to Mary's Thomas 220 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: up to my wide receiver ten oh sure. Just to 221 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: kind of bring a little bit of real football into 222 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: it though, right, like Mike m like the the the 223 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: offense that they ran last year, the last few years 224 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: really kind of featured more I guess bubble screens for 225 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: to Marrius Thomas. But when you think about that Mike 226 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: McCoy offense, he'll go downfield, right and and I wouldn't 227 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: be surprised. I know, Trevor SimMan, you know, has that 228 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: starting experience. I would not be surprised at all if 229 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: Packison Lynch wins this job because he seems to me anyways, 230 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: Adam Rank the more natural fit in this Mike McCoy system, 231 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: I think, so. I think they eventually want to get 232 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: although they want to get him into it because part 233 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: of me hesitates because anytime there's a coaching change and 234 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: you have a young quarterback, Van's Van's Joseph is not 235 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: connected to Packison Lynch he at all. But then again, 236 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: it's like, well John Elway's running the show, and it's 237 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: really on Elway's team, and everything comes from John Elway 238 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: and Advance that was John's pick, you know what I mean, Yeah, 239 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: that was the guy that he wanted. And Advance is 240 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: really just an offshoot of Gary Kubiak because they both 241 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: coached together in Houston, So they're really just kind of 242 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: picking up where they left off with him. The one 243 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: thing that stands out to me about Damarus Thomas is 244 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: that he has been one of the most consistent receivers 245 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: over the last five six, seven years because SCE two 246 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: thousand twelve he's had at least ninety reception he had 247 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: ninety receptions last year. He had a hundred and five 248 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: receptions with thirteen hundred yards two years ago, right when 249 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: they were having all those quarterback issues. The problem is 250 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: is that his touchdown numbers have decreased dramatically. But what 251 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: we're looking at is somebody who's getting the opportunity. And 252 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: when you have somebody who's who's whose floor is ninety receptions, 253 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: you're just rolling the dice. That's a good plan touchdown. 254 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: So I feel a little bit more comfortable with I was. 255 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: I want to say, I think the beneficial the benefit 256 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: of hiving Mike mccoybeck, though, is that it will put 257 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: him more situations to get yards after the catch. That 258 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: was a big thing for him, Like the touchdowns are 259 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: probably coming back with without Peyton Manning. But last year 260 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: was also his lowest yardage total since two thousand twelve. 261 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: He put up four yards four hundred, just a thousand 262 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: and the Mike McCoy Systern does still have bubble screens, 263 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: but it also had a lot of those slants and 264 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: shorter routes like Thomas was can go deep, but he 265 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: was one of the best receivers catching a quick pass 266 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: and being dynamic after the catch. Like you think of 267 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: all his long touchdowns, he wasn't burning guys deep. He 268 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: was catching a slant, making a cut and he was gone. Well, 269 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: the biggest play of his life was catching a I 270 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: don't recall I loo that we all looked at Steeler 271 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: fan here when that happened. That is the one that 272 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: it's just burned into my brain. The reason I disliked him, tea, 273 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: that's the only reason. Well, that is that is the 274 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: catalyst for it all. There you go. I will say 275 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: this did crack a thousand yards last year five seasons 276 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: a row. I think he's out of thousand yes, just 277 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: five touchdown. It's been trending downward though over the last 278 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: three years. Uh, in terms of uh, what do I 279 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: see here? Receptions, targets, yards, yards per catch, yards after catch, 280 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: and touchdowns all trending down. It's almost like people don't 281 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: respect the Broncos quarterbacks. Yeah, it's it's all. It's all 282 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: in the quarter. Like you went from record breaking Payton 283 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: Manning to broken Peyton Manning to Trevor Simeon in those 284 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: three years. That's a very well we forgot about the 285 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: great brock Osweiler in there? Did we really forget? Since 286 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: since Manning was the full time started when he threw 287 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: thirty nine touchdown passes. Manning and Osweiler split nineteen touchdown 288 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: passes and in sixteen Simeon and Lynch through twenty combined. 289 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: So it's half n when you split nineteen touchdowns. Thomas Thomas, 290 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: wrap this up, Thomas is going off the board? Is 291 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: the wide receiver eighteen? Right now? Was that round four 292 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: beginning around or right behind Allen Robinson, Sammy Watkins, Alshon, 293 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Trell, Prior d Hop and Brandon Cooks, Marius Thomas 294 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: or Sammy Watkins? Uh? Standard I might take to take 295 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: the chance on Watkins, but PPR Thomas for sure. I 296 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: think I take DT just because I feel confident that 297 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the field for sixteen. I don't 298 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: know if his hips are broken. He says they're fine, 299 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: broke last week, last week. Last week he was like, 300 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: I might have a few years left, guys, years. I 301 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: think he's in a decline. I would take Sammy Watkins 302 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: for the upside problem. Yeah, Sammy Watkins twenty four to 303 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: Mary's Thomas twenty years old. Just if you're wondering, all right, 304 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: The news regarding Carlos Hide continues to be uh not great. 305 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: Matt Pioco of CSN Bay Area quote, High does probably 306 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: still the favorite to win the starting job, but he'll 307 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: have to earn it, adding quote, it's safe to assume 308 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: the club will employee more of a committee a coach 309 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: with Joseph Williams and the great and mighty Tim High. 310 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: Tower Town editorialized the great mighty part. We go to 311 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: the Bay Area native himself, MG my guy, Marcus Grant. 312 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: What is the city of Vallejo think of Carlos Hide? Well, 313 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: we think he's no C. J. Anderson. I don't idea. 314 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm starting, I'm starting maybe to buy into the drumbeats, 315 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: because you know, it started immediately, like the moment Kyle 316 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: Shanahan came and took over, there was the well, Carlos 317 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: Hide isn't a fit and they don't like him and 318 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 1: they want to find somebody else. Um. And the very ever, 319 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: the first like the first play of the first mini 320 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: camp uh, there was the Carlos Hide doesn't know the 321 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: offense and he's not a fit, and I'm like, it's 322 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: the first play, and like, relax. But this has become 323 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: kind of an ongoing thing. So now I am a 324 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm a little bit sad because we are 325 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: again losing one of the rare situations in which we 326 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: had a cut and dry workhorse running back in an 327 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: offense could have been yeah right, I mean that was 328 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: Carlos Hide. Um that seems to be going away. Is 329 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: we have one more, one more committee to add to 330 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: the to the situation. I'm not I'm not buying the 331 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: tim high Tower thing. Listen, listen, if you are out 332 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: there and you're listening to us and you're looking for 333 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: a handcuff here uh in San Francisco, it's Joseph. It's 334 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: Joe Williams. It's Joe Williams. He's out of Utah. He's 335 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: a great fit for this Carl shannahand thing uh and 336 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: quite honestly, he slid in drafts only because of off 337 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: the field issues. He has had a lot of off 338 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,479 Speaker 1: the field issues. Hopefully he has worked through those things. 339 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: But Joseph Williams, I think is the running back, uh, 340 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: the handcuff anyways to own in San Francisco. Let's talk 341 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: about Carlos Hide. What about what tower? I'm gonna I'm 342 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: gonna save this. You're gonna save it? You know what 343 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: I end? I gotta. There's a there's a guy they've 344 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: been talking up. But that's okay. We don't, yes, we 345 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: use check. Don't tell me Kyle, Matt Brita or Brenda 346 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: that the Florida He's from one of the small Florida schools, 347 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic or South Florida. Somebody, somebody down there, somebody 348 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: like I listen. Not Georgia's Southern. He's George's Southern. Yeah, 349 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: not even the Great, the Great Georgia's home of James McKinnon. 350 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: He's Yeah, he's the guy that has been taught like 351 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: he's been the buzzy running back. And I'm probably saying 352 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: his last name incorrectly because I haven't. I mean, I 353 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: didn't really have a lot of exposure to him almost 354 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: like not at all, like having to go back and 355 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: like where am I in go? And then of course 356 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: you always go back and like, well, I'm gonna watch 357 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: his YouTube highlights because that's always, that's always, that's always, 358 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, advisable, like this guy is the best. But 359 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: I mean it'll probably be one of those things that 360 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: he looks great right now, and who knows what happens, 361 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: is gonna say he's he's five eleven one nineties, so 362 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: he kind of feels like the guy that would look 363 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: great in the shorts and stuff. So looks great in shorts. Well, 364 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: we'll see what he does want eleven one night. That's 365 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: a good sized man, like running back. It's a little 366 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: it's a little smaller, like a little light, little light, 367 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: little lane. He's a water bug, all right. He is 368 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: not a water bug. It's not a water bug. Alright, Alright, 369 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: let's speaking of it. It's a great segue into our 370 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: our next segment, which is talking about training camp battles 371 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: we are watching. Certainly that San Francisco backfield will be 372 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: one that we watch very very closely. All right, Robert 373 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: Turban though, getting a lot of I mean, you start 374 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: talking about buzzy names here and I know that. Look, 375 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: there's not a lot going on, but but there there's been, 376 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, good reports surrounding Robert Turban. We assumed Frank 377 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: Gore's handcuff, the next in line would have been rookie 378 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: Marlon Mack. Uh there in Indianapolis, But right now, I 379 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: think that is in doubt. So I don't know. I'd 380 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: love to hear from Matt Franchise regarding this battle. Robert 381 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: Turban Marlon Mack. What are you expecting there? Yeah, Well, 382 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: the like you said, the buzzes about Turban, he had 383 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: seven touchdown owns last year, kind of came out of nowhere. Um. 384 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: I think he's the favorite because he knows the offense, 385 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: and he's got experienced and they want to get him 386 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: more involved, right Uh, and he's a veteran and Marlon 387 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: Mack you know with rookies. Uh. He actually Marlin Mac 388 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: missed June minicamp with an undisclosed injury, so he's already 389 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: missing time with the team and then his other hurdle 390 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: is going to be pass blocking. So he's kind of 391 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: an explosive guy. But I think if they want to 392 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: lighten Frank Gore's load, Turban is going to be the 393 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: guy for that. I'm a big Bobby t guy. Yeah 394 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 1: what Utah State, bro, it was dominant up there at 395 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: Logan didn't didn't realize you had that much love for 396 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 1: the egg. You know what? Because when I when they 397 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: used to make the n c A a football game 398 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: or at E a sports I always used to start 399 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: as the offensive coordinator for Utah State. And the final 400 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: year they did it in two thousand fourteen was Bobby 401 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: ts final year at Utah State. So and you're like 402 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: number six, is it all makes a guy on this team? Yeah, said, well, 403 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: let's listen. That led me to believe that Jamal Charles 404 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: was going to be a viable NFL option because I 405 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: would play with Texas back in the day and there 406 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: it is. But what about is Fergie not there anymore? 407 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: Josh Ferguson there, he's there. Josh Ferguson is still there. 408 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: Ferguson he's tying. He's like a scat back. He's a 409 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: water bug. He water He's the guy that everyone was like, 410 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: here's a water bug. I'm not giving up on Fergie. 411 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: Oh man. Alright. They tried like like they at least 412 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: had because they would give him opportunities that he probably 413 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: didn't deserve last year. Josh. Yeah, they would be running 414 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: him out there, and you'd be like like, hey, he's 415 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: a rookie. Um, all right, let me just throw a 416 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: little more Like I wrote up Turban earlier when we 417 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: did our first round of Sleepers Bus deep Sleepers, all 418 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: that jazz. Yeah, I picked Turban because I think it's 419 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: it's the case where um, when you're looking for these 420 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: deep backs to watch your like fantasy commodities, like, you 421 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: want the guy that might have actual opportunity over this 422 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: unknown quantity of the rookie. It's so much more fun 423 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: to pick. It's more fun. It's a hard lesson. I 424 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: had to learn it. I even mentioned the piece that 425 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: I was in the Caboos is the David Cobb and 426 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: Kinistics and hype trains careened off the cliff, but like Turban, 427 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 1: only had a two opportunities last year's targets and carries, 428 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: but almost fifty percent of them came in the final 429 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: five games when they were using him to spell Gore 430 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: a little bit more so, like if that trend carries 431 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: over a little bit more, Turban could have, you know, 432 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: a solid Mike Gillisi like season from last year in 433 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo where he sees a hundred hundred fifty touches and 434 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: get some high value ones around the goal line. Alright, 435 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: So Facebook Live, by the way, we got some comments 436 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: and views starting to roll in as well.

Um, we'll talk about we talked about 444 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: Robert Turbin. We talked about Robert Turbin a lot more 445 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: than I was anticipated. Uh. In San Diego. Mike Williams 446 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: versus Tyrrell Williams. What do you see? How do you 447 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: see that can't battle shaking out? Adam? Right, Mike Williams 448 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: hurt already? Is he he was battling injuries? Already, Like 449 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: I had to go back in my sleepers thing and 450 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: I just struck through the whole thing. Mike, already a chart. 451 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what's city they're in. Already, the receivers. 452 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: I'm sick of this. Just stay healthy. I'm so tired. 453 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: But you know I did. Um I'm gonna start name 454 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: dropping now. I talked to Deshaun Watson on Monday night, Tuesday, No, 455 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: Tuesday night, and we talked about it. I'm like, oh, 456 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: do you still keep in touch with him? And he's like, yeah, 457 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: I talked to him all the time. They're best friends 458 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: and everything like that. Yeah. Well I didn't know how 459 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: that was gonna involve. And I'm like, are you worried that, 460 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: like Philip Rivers is gonna be his best friend or anything? 461 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: He said, now, uh, but of course he's gonna talk 462 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: up his best friend and all that stuff. But I really, 463 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: I mean, the only injuries are concerning to me because 464 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: you really want him on the field as much as possible, 465 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: especially since the NFL has decided like, no, none of 466 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: these guys are gonna practice anymore. They're just gonna run 467 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: out there and play pick up football basically. Um, so 468 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: you want him on the field as much as possible. 469 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: But he's somebody that you watched at Clemson, and it's 470 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: it's hard not to like what you saw. Like he 471 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: looked like a legitimate, big time wide receiver. I know 472 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: that people will throw shade on him because I think, 473 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, the haters always like the quote trid will look. 474 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, it was a little bit different with him. 475 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: Things and receivers um all rights. Receivers are right, That's 476 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: all you need to know about. That's all you need 477 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: to know about. Those guys very healthy, Like he's following 478 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: like another Clemson receiver, Sammy Walking. I can't get there. 479 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: That's the trend, you know what. And this is one 480 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: of the things that if we if he goes to 481 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: training camp, if he starts on the field at training 482 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: camp and is ready to go and there are no limitations, 483 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: he will be the number two receiver. And I think 484 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: there's a good pssibility he could end up being their 485 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: number one receiver. I was gonna say, I think he 486 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: I mean, if he's healthy, if he's right, just what 487 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about how he fits into that offense, right, 488 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: Because we know Philip Rivers loves to go deep downfield. 489 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: This is the guy. This is the guy. And and 490 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: you talk about you know, trends and and molds and 491 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: all that. I mean, how many six five big body 492 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: receivers can San Diego get? But they have all of them. 493 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: They've got all of them, Like he's a produce. Like 494 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: if you like I, if you know what, like you 495 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: go back to Vincent Jackson Floyd when you have a type, 496 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: Like I go back and I look back and like 497 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: my high school girlfriends and my college girl, I'm like, 498 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: oh my god, they're all like five seven to five ten, 499 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: dark haired, blue eyes. I'm like, you get a type. 500 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: And the Chargers have a type of receiver that they 501 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: love and Mike Williams fits that mold. And I think 502 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: that and especially with the guys that they've surrounded them with, 503 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: because they've now got some of the shorter guys who 504 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: can go in and do a little bit of the 505 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: dirty work. Um, I think that offense could be pretty good. 506 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: And I think that they'll be throwing a lot. They're 507 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: gonna try to. I know that it's it's storytelling and 508 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: we're creating a fable of like, oh, the Chargers want 509 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: to go on and make a big splash, and they've 510 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: got to compete with the Rams for the parts and 511 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: minds of sports fans in Los Angeles, and the best 512 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: way to do that is to do the exact opposite 513 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: of what the Rams tried to do last year. We're like, 514 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna be the most boring team in NFL and 515 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna ask you to come to the coliseum. Fill 516 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: it up, and it's gonna be hot as balls and 517 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have a lot of fun, but you're 518 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: gonna pay a lot of money to do it. To 519 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: watch this, i'd the Chargers, I mean, they benefit from 520 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: watching what happened to the Rams. And they're like, look, 521 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: we're playing in this what is essentially a high school 522 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: it's a soccer it's a professional soccer stadium, but that's 523 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: where we hold our high school football chance of state championships. 524 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: They're they're played there and they're like, you know what, Like, 525 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: we gotta go out there and I'll be on I 526 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: know that no organization would be like, well, wins are long. 527 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 1: You need to be fun. Yeah, you really should hope it. 528 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: They're fun and they're gonna try to throw the ball 529 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: around so that that leads me to some of these 530 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: charger receivers. So if Mike Williams is ready to go 531 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: and everything, I think that this is gonna be a 532 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: fun team. It's gonna be really exciting. I think the 533 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: game experience is gonna be fun too, But I think 534 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be yeah, like Alex Goes all the title, 535 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: all the time. I can't even, by the way, begin 536 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: to tell people listening how vastly different it's going to be. 537 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: Stubbs what I said, whatever, Okay, whatever, It's still the 538 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: Western form to me. Yeah, quick throwing like this, this 539 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: bat camp battles certainly want to watch, but I have 540 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: concerns about these guys until we see some sort of 541 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: like pecking order established itself in the off seasons, because 542 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: there are so many weapons, Like I didn't really mention 543 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: his tight ends, like Hunter Henry and Antonio Gates are 544 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: gonna catch passes, Benjamin is still Elvin Gordon's gonna catch passes. 545 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: And they've got Dontrell Inman and Tyroll Williams and Keenan 546 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: Allen and it's like Travis Benjamin. You just mentioned Travis Bend. 547 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: But there's there's so many there's so many options there 548 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: that I would like to see a little bit clearer 549 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: of a hierarchy come to fruition through training camp in 550 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: the preseason. We might not get it, but if we do, 551 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: that could help inform us as to where to take 552 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: these guys in the later rounds. In Tampa Bay, I'm sorry, 553 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: go ahead. I was just gonna say we can't ignore 554 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: Tyrolle Williams had a thousand yards last year and led 555 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,479 Speaker 1: the team in targets and kind of kept that offensive 556 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: float after Keenan Allen went down. Yeah, but he's a 557 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: guy that I don't know, man, I mean just having watched, yeah, 558 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: a thousand yards, but I mean he was pressed into service, 559 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Right, All those guys ahead 560 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: of him were injured, every single one, right, you know 561 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: what I mean. So I don't know. I think he's 562 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: gonna slide back a bit. I like him as an 563 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: overall player, but he did deliver. Though Davante Adams was 564 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: pressed in the service two years ago. Not some people 565 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: in this in that room behind the glass took him 566 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: in the fourth round. We all know how that worked out. Uh. 567 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: In Tampa Bay, Jack Quiz Rogers, Jeremy McNichols. I think 568 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna be battling here for the starting spot at 569 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: least until Doug Martin comes back, and then after that, 570 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: who knows what the hell will happen. Although I'll say this, 571 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: can I just can I say that I'm not a 572 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: hundred percent convinced Doug Martin even if he's not cut 573 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: before the season, which is still a possibility, probably not likely, 574 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: but he's at least a cut candidate anyways before the 575 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: season starts. Even if he does come back, I mean, 576 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: we're assuming he's gonna be the starter, but it seems 577 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: like a big time assumption. But regardless, he's gone for 578 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: the first three games of the season. Jocque was Rogers 579 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: Jeremy Nichols expected to battle for the starting position. MG, 580 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: my guy, who do you like? Um? I guess Charles 581 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: Simms not a thing anymore? No? No, not at all. Wow, 582 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a thing. I think Charles Simms 583 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: is is who he is at this point. I think 584 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: he's a pass catching back. I mean at this point. 585 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if we're going between these two, I still 586 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: think it's it's gonna end up being McNichols. Um. Really, yeah, 587 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I know Quinn was great last year. Um, 588 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: they admit that they overworked Jaquiz Rodgers, the five seven guy, 589 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: giving him thirty five carries a game, that's right, And 590 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I do think I think at some point 591 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: we have seen the best of Jack Quiz Rodgers. We 592 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: have seen him hit his ceiling, and I think, I 593 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: do think that Jeremy McNichols potentially has a higher ceiling. 594 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna start to work in Bilso 595 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: don't need necessarily rush McNichols along. They've got guys in 596 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: that office with the wide receivers they've got with Cameron 597 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: brad at tight end, um, you know, and then once 598 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: they get Doug Martin back, Um, there's no need to 599 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: just rush McNichols into a big role in this offense. 600 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna, you know, ease his way 601 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: in and he'll end up passing Rogers by the end. 602 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: But the trend says, what's the trendset rookie running backs 603 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: from Boise State Boys excel for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 604 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: That's true. Trends. You can't battle the trend. You can't 605 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: like that's so you have to take him in the 606 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: first round. To take him in the first you have 607 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: to perfect it. Let's talk about those rams. Malcolm Brown 608 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: versus Aaron Greene versus USC's very ill Justin did I 609 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: want to go back? Just because Justin Davis is here, 610 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: das man getting excited, but as I would love. Look, 611 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean, hey, look man, they got get excited. Yeah, 612 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: they got Robert Woods, they got Justin Davis, t J 613 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: McDonald right to just be like old times, run around 614 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: on the floor. Uh, yeah, no, it's not gonna happen. Um. Come, 615 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown was really good in the preseason last year, remember, 616 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean that's true. We were you know, when we 617 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: were trying to figure out who would be the number 618 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, Um, you know, they were running all these 619 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: different guys through their Malcolm Brown looked really good in 620 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: the preseason last year. So I think he's kind of 621 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: got the inside you. I can't a couple of good 622 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: scenes on Hard Knocks to yeah, you know that which countless? 623 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: All that can't counts for something, right? Uh? And Washington, 624 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: this is the one that everyone's watching, right. So J. P. 625 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: Ryan versus Rob Kelly, who's going to be the starter? 626 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of folks are like myself, of course, 627 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: assume J P. Ryan We'll go out there and win 628 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: that battle. But I think there's a lot to be 629 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: said that that Rob Kelly the you know, the incumbent, 630 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: the veteran, he knows the offense, all of those things. 631 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: I think in arguments, a strong argument certainly could be 632 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: made that Rob Kelly wins this battle. But your thoughts 633 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: on the matter, Matt Franchise, Yeah, it's definitely Kelly's job 634 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: to lose. I think, uh, and he worked on his 635 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: hands this offseason and uh spend some time converting some 636 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: of his fat Rob fat into muscle. So he's a 637 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit leaner, which is good. I mean, 638 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: he's not a fast guy, he's not very efficient, but 639 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: he falls forward, he gets the job done, he falls 640 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: into the end zone. I think he's gonna you know, 641 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: I think p Ryan has a ways to go. There 642 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: was an article in the Washington Post kind of previewing 643 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: this battle. It said P Ryan has some work to 644 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: do to USURP Kelly. So I think Kelly's gonna start 645 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: the season as the starter, and then we'll see how 646 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: they incorporate p Ryan. And you know, Chris Thompson is there. 647 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: Matt Jones is still hanging around. Yes, but I don't 648 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: see I don't think. Yeah, I don't think he's gonna 649 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: be a factor, but he's still on the team. I 650 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: don't think he's got He might not be on a team. 651 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: Hasn't he like requested a trade or to be released 652 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: and like he's fifth on. There's a lot going on 653 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: in the backfield though. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, No, 654 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: that's true. No, it's very true. In Minnesota, Dalvin cook Uh, 655 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: the rookie certainly one of the top draft prospects at 656 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: the running back position, was taken in Minnesota. But this 657 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: was after they signed Latavius Murray to a free agent contract. 658 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: We go to Adam Rank, your thoughts on the matter there. 659 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: I think Dalvin Cooks can end up winning this job. 660 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: He's the perfect running back for the new offensive system 661 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: they're trying to run their zone blocking team. Now they've 662 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: made a couple of tweaks on that offensive line, and 663 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: of course that's what they did at Florida. Stay and 664 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: he's gonna come in and just assume that job. Lottavius 665 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: Murray is in a position where he it's probably not 666 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of playing time. He might actually 667 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: could be a casualty of the of the depth chart 668 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: at some point um because he's it's the NFL. Are 669 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: you saying he's gonna get cut? Some these contracts are 670 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 1: not guaranteed, so like stranger things have happened. It's essentially 671 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: a one year deal for left and they can be like, yeah, 672 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: we're good, we got Cook is gonna be the guy 673 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: who's gonna do it. The thing is is like you 674 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: cannot watch him play and not think that it's going 675 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: to translate. I don't want to go to the obvious 676 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: comparison of that with Davante Freeman was able to do 677 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: when he went to Atlanta. And the only reason when 678 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: Davante Freeman went to Atlanta, like, the only reason they 679 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: didn't rush him in is because Mike Smith, for whatever reason, 680 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,479 Speaker 1: I just wanted to keep running out old as Steven Jeff. 681 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: And then at the end of the season, here comes 682 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: to the Monthey Freeman and he's crushing fools, and you're like, yeah, 683 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: you could have had a whole year of that and 684 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: maybe still had a job as an NFL head coach, 685 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: but you let that go and Mike Zimmer. Mike Zimmer 686 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: is kind of realizing what he's got with Dalvin Cook. 687 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,280 Speaker 1: And and normally, like when you talk about Mike Zimmer, 688 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: he's like, he's like Socrates are not um what am 689 00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: I trying to? I even lost them? Wow. But he's 690 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: very stoke, and he doesn't talk highly about rookies, like 691 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: he's very Bud Grant, Like I guess that would have 692 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: been the easier, um easier an analogy. But he started 693 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: talking of Dalvin Cook, and I'm like, whoa like like 694 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer, like krusty ass Mike Zimmer talking about the 695 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: rookie like what is going on in the world. That's 696 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: like seeing Bud Grant in the sideline in a mink coat. 697 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: Very good. And now I look at that. And when 698 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the top rookie running backs and I've 699 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: been a big Christian McCaffrey guy, and I still think 700 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna be great, I'm like, you know what, give 701 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: me Dalvin Cook. And even in the scott Fish Bowl, 702 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: I took him way early and everybody went nuts, And 703 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, how early is fourth round? Team? League? Bro? 704 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: Like those leagues are crazy? Nobody dressed the receiver, which 705 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: is an except yeah, you have like all of the receiver. 706 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, through ten rounds, I have like seven receivers. 707 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: It makes no sense because because nobody else wants, nobody's 708 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 1: drafting them. So you're like, oh, Antonio Brown is still 709 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,439 Speaker 1: there in the second round, I should draft him. Yeah, 710 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: except you know that that. So I had a roommate 711 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: in college who used to come home with random groceries 712 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: that nobody would eat, Like, hey, why do we you know, 713 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: why do we have cinnamon coke? He's like, I had 714 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: a coupon. Like that's not a reason. That's smart because 715 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna steal it. Also, no one's going to drink it. Yeah, 716 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: well that's what I mean. Well, that's good. I don't 717 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: want him to drink it. I bought it for me. Yeah, 718 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: but you don't want to drink it either. That's that's 719 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: you don't know what I do. And in college, let's 720 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: go to face round at eleven o'clock, let's go to 721 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: Facebook five a m rpm. It didn't really matter. I 722 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: could use this. Yeah. Flarity thoughts on Corey Coleman. Everyone 723 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: was hyped about him before last season. He got uh 724 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: five one oh four and two five receptions of Hunt 725 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: for four yards two touchdowns versus the Ravens A week 726 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: two broke his hand never recovered. He's in a better offense, 727 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: hopefully a better quarterback. Is he a sleeper pick? Well, yes, 728 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 1: he's a sleeper pick. But um, we'll give a more 729 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: nuanced thought on Corey Coleman. Alex Gilhar are your thoughts 730 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: on Corey Coleman. I mean he's already injured again. He's 731 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: kind of hamstring and like domino or side strain or 732 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: something like that kind of his He heard his ribs 733 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: falling on a football. I don't know. Um, it's unfortunate, 734 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna dropped it. Hey, you know in the game 735 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: of football, you're gonna fall on the football. You're gonna 736 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: fall on the football. I don't know that. I'd say 737 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 1: he's a sleeper. I think people are kind of expectations 738 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: are semi high for him. He's going relatively highly in drafts. 739 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not falling to the double digit rounds. 740 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: He's certainly a guy if he plays sixteen games and 741 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: has moderate quarterback play, you know, moderately capable quarterback play 742 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: alongside of him. He could probably have a good season. 743 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: But the wide receiver i'd rather draft in Cleveland right 744 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: now is Kenny Britt because he's coming off the boardway later. 745 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: That's the guy that just put up a thousand yards 746 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: with Jared Goff and case Keenum. Like, I just think 747 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: the relative value, Well, when you play with golf, obviously 748 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a house and yard. Yeah, he's right. 749 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: How how dare I say otherwise? But no, I think 750 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: there's just a relative value of Kenny Britton, like the 751 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: twelfth or thirteenth round of a twelve team league, or 752 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: Corey Coleman in the eighth ninth I'd rather take bretat all. Right, 753 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: there you go, uh final contra or camp battle that 754 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: we're taking a look at here any Lacey versus Thomas Rawls. Um, 755 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: A lot has been You know we're gonna start seeing 756 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 1: a lot of ink being spilled here in the Seattle backfield. 757 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: Both players, both Eddie Lacey and Thomas Rawls are in 758 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: contract years. MG. How do you see this battle shaking out? 759 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 1: C J pro size? Yes, yes, he's gonna be the starter, 760 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: though it's gonna be just a jumbled I remember right 761 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: about this time a few months ago on this this program, 762 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: I went on a giant rant about everybody like being 763 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: all excited about Eddie Lacey and how basically this was 764 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: just going to ruin our day. Um. I'm still holding 765 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 1: onto that because again, like I've seen what Pete Carroll 766 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: does when he has a multitude running backs to use, 767 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: and he will use them all and so and he 768 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,959 Speaker 1: was gonna get his work. Thomas Rawls gonna get his work. CJ. 769 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,839 Speaker 1: Pro Sise is gonna get his work. We're all gonna 770 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: be sitting here unhappy on a weekly basis, trying to 771 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: figure out which guy is the guy to start. That's right, 772 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound fun. By the way, both those gentlemen 773 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: are on contract years. And we're talking about running backs 774 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: who are in contract years. Uh, Leve Bell he's in 775 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,399 Speaker 1: a contract year. But I don't think it's worthwhile to 776 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: to discuss love. I mean, he's he's he's a top 777 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: three big right. I mean, the guy is gonna put 778 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: up monster numbers. He No, I'm just kidding, Get out 779 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: of here, Geo Bernard, Jeremy Hill and Cincinnati. Both gentlemen 780 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 1: are in contract years. I at least think Adam Rank 781 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 1: that it makes it interesting knowing that Geo Bernard Jeremy 782 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: Hill are both in contract years given all of the 783 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, the hype surrounding Joe Mixon. Yeah, but they 784 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: still have Joe Mixon. They're still went out there and 785 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: made that move. I think that even though they're in 786 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: a contract here, I think a lot of a lot 787 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: of times that's that's good news for a player who's 788 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: been doing really well. Like if you're Livan Bell and 789 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: you're like, hey, I'm in a contract year and I've 790 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: been crushing it over the last couple of years, then 791 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, it's pretty good for you when you 792 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: haven't been doing as well and the team can look 793 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: and be like, well, there's really not much left on 794 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: your contract. We've got a guy in now who can 795 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: probably take your job and will be our future. We 796 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: really don't need a reason to have you go out 797 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,439 Speaker 1: there on the field like we don't like we're good, 798 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,479 Speaker 1: We're we've already got our future. We don't care about 799 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: your contract situation. So they can feel comfortable going with 800 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: the rookie. It's not and wait, jee barn is not 801 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: in a contract here, is he not? He signed an 802 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: extension in Okay, that's Jeremy Hill, and I think Jeremy 803 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: Hill I thought said I did say both. I thought 804 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: Jill and Jeremy Hill were in contract here, so I 805 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: guess I was. I still think I think is gonna 806 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 1: be the odd man out in this backfield. So we're coming. 807 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: He's supposed to not be back, like he's gonna miss 808 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: a few games. And I actually wrote about Jeremy Hills 809 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,359 Speaker 1: a late round value, uh, just because the constant home 810 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: from Cincinnati is that he's going to be the early 811 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: down goal lineback, which in the tenth round has some 812 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: value in a fantasy draft league. And yeah, I know 813 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: Joe makes is super talented and he's a chance to 814 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: take the rollover, but he's gonna start the start the 815 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: season probably as a third down back. They're gonna use 816 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: Hill and short yardage, goal line situations. He might not 817 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 1: have his two carries, but if he can, you know, 818 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,919 Speaker 1: if he can produce, then maybe they'll find him. Uh. 819 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 1: The we want to get Jeremy Hill more involved in 820 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: the offense. Meme is is reaching. Jimmy Graham played basketball 821 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 1: levels of insanity. You know it is. It is reached. 822 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: Cor Darryl Patterson is going to have a role in 823 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,359 Speaker 1: our offense levels of insanity. Now it's it's well, he's 824 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 1: gonna We've talked about Carlos side. He's in a contract year. Uh, 825 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: let's talk about Isaiah crow Well. You know, here's the thing, 826 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: the the the the storyline surrounding Isaiah crow Well. Now 827 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: it's pretty nice, right, I mean, Cleveland's revamped their offensive line. 828 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: He himself is in a contract year. We know that 829 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: the Browns would like to run the ball. I don't 830 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,439 Speaker 1: know if they'll be able to, but certainly they add 831 00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 1: a lot of pieces on the defensive side of the 832 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: ball as well. Um, and I've always said defenses in 833 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: the running game, it's like being a butter and jelly. 834 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of great factors going into for 835 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: Isaiah crow Well. But Alex Gillhard love to get your 836 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: thoughts on the matter. On Krol, Sorry, I was just troll. 837 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,280 Speaker 1: In general. I really like Roll. I think it seemed 838 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: that he was the team was kind of starting to 839 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: lean more towards him over Duke Johnson, and that in 840 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: the between the tackles role they would trot Johnson out, 841 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 1: but he was not nearly as effective. And then just 842 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 1: all the factors around him are in a better spot 843 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: than they were last year. Quarterback play should better offen, 844 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 1: the line should be better. They've got good weapons on 845 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: the outside. I mean they had prior last year, but 846 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: it just it's all there and if it doesn't happen 847 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: this year, then we have much more cause for concern. 848 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 1: Off of Facebook Live mar ye don yeasy great Facebook name? Yes, 849 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: asked Shady McCoy or Devonte Freeman? Who you got? That's tough. 850 00:43:54,560 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: I'd probably go McCoy though McCoy say no. Love for DeVante? 851 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: I love, but is enough committee? I mean, there's nobody 852 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 1: behind McCoy, right, Jonathan Williams, Like I said, there's nobody. 853 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Spencer wear in a 854 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,720 Speaker 1: contract year as well. Uh, he's gonna be battling Kareem 855 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: Hunt anyways for carries in Kansas City. Your thoughts on that, U? 856 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you know how I feel abou Kareem Hunt. 857 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: Love them, I love to do, but it's still Spencer 858 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: wears backfield and he's gonna get the touches. I mean, 859 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 1: the battle in Kansas City is whether or not it's 860 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: it's Hunt or Shark Andrick West behind behind Spencer Wear. 861 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: But this is this is his gig. He's gonna be fine. 862 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 1: Devanta Freeman in Atlanta also in a contract here. I 863 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: mean again, Adam Rik you talk about, Look, if you're 864 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: playing well and you're in a contract here, that's pretty good. 865 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. He's been playing pretty well. Yeah. I know, 866 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to make too much out of Shanahan leaving, 867 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,439 Speaker 1: but I want to make a big deal about Shanahan leaving. 868 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: Even know they're promoting from within and they've got twenty 869 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: two guys, Like that's fine. There's still gonna be some 870 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: effect of losing so horrifically in the Super Bowl. I 871 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: know Matt Ryan can go out and make all the 872 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: Gatorade commercials that he wants to make, and that's admirable 873 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,240 Speaker 1: and I appreciate that he's taking it head on and everything. 874 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: But generally not a great idea, by the way, but 875 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: you know what, like that that kind of stuff matters. 876 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 1: I remember last season, the Bengals fans were all over 877 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: me because I'm like, look, you lost, Marvin Lewis, you 878 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: had one of the worst playoff losses I've every time 879 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: about Hugh lost Hugh Jackson. Sorry lost, Hugh Jackson. You're 880 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: coming off one of the worst playoff losses I have 881 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 1: ever witnessed in my life. It was bad. It was 882 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 1: like watching a tear, like a bad knockout in a 883 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 1: UFC fight, where you're like, I don't feel comfortable watching 884 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 1: this ugly, like this is hard to watch. This is 885 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: not like entertaining at all, and I'm uncomfortable and I 886 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: don't know if I like football anymore. But the following 887 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 1: week was awesome and we forgot all about it, but 888 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: I go, this stuff matters, Like this is why football 889 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 1: is so hard to measure, and why you can't just 890 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 1: take metrics and things like that like you can in baseball, 891 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 1: like we see them a hundred and sixty two times 892 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: this season. Even in the NBA we see so much 893 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 1: of these guys. You figure it out. But football is 894 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: such a short sample size and there are so many 895 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,439 Speaker 1: other factors and so many other things. You don't know 896 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: how this loss is going to affect a lot of 897 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 1: these lot of coaches, players or anybody. And for me 898 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 1: to look at it and just assume that DeVante Freeman 899 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 1: is going to go out and be as great or 900 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 1: think like oh, he's in a country. I can't put 901 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: that on him. And why and why we were just 902 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: talking about Shade McCoy a moment ago, like there's some 903 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, like we know what Shady's deal is, like 904 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,320 Speaker 1: we pretty much get it. Like this, this Falcon steam 905 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: has a lot of questions to me, especially with how 906 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: much the NFL changes from year to year and you 907 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 1: see some of these Super Bowl losers just go down 908 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 1: and the things happen. I mean, look at the Broncos 909 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: from a year ago. I mean, obviously they lost Peyton Manning, 910 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,840 Speaker 1: but even the defense the Panthers a setback or the 911 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,959 Speaker 1: Panthers as well, the Broncos and the Panthers both we're 912 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: kind of non factors last year, especially the Panthers. So 913 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,359 Speaker 1: everything seems to be cool. Everything seems to be riding high. 914 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: And and I don't know if it was the loss 915 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: that the Panthers had in the Super Bowl at that 916 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: was the hangover or what it was, or Camp playing 917 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: half the year with the tarn rotator cuff. Well, I 918 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 1: think I think a big part of I think a 919 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 1: big part of some of this stuff though, is the 920 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: fact that you know, you talked about Matt Ryan I 921 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: mean for the very first time now he's not he's 922 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,399 Speaker 1: not just focusing a h on football. Do you see 923 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, there's a lot of business conversations happening, 924 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of endorsement deals happening. He hadn't he 925 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 1: was the third overall pick, the face of the franchise, 926 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 1: like he had endorsement. Yes, I those things I agree with, 927 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: But I mean, you can't tell me you saw Matt 928 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: Ryan in a in a nationally you know, a national 929 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 1: campaign the last four or five years. I don't. I 930 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 1: don't think that's anything we should read into the fact 931 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 1: that's in a national campaign. Now. Robert Griffin the Third 932 00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 1: was in every g D commercial his rookie year, put 933 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 1: together what happened and put together one of the best 934 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 1: rookie years we've ever seen. After came out, he was 935 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 1: before there were a lot of stories about Andrew Luckby 936 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: and oh shucks, I'm not doing any commercials while Robert 937 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: Griffin the Third was everywhere. And then Robert Griffin the 938 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 1: Third stormed through the league until the Shanahan's you know, 939 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,280 Speaker 1: crippled his career with him playing on that horrible FedEx 940 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,320 Speaker 1: field in the playoffs. That was brutal. But I just like, 941 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 1: why are we why are we reading into him being 942 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 1: in an ad. I think Matt Ryan's just back to 943 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,719 Speaker 1: something's different. And I know that Cam was injured last year, 944 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 1: but I don't remember. I don't know if he had 945 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: that injury in Week one because they played the Bronx 946 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 1: that they got but he and I know that he 947 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 1: got beat up a little bit in the game. But 948 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: coming into that, just watching that game early on, the 949 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 1: Panthers looked different. Something was off. They were not the 950 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 1: team that they were a year ago, and so I 951 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,879 Speaker 1: would be really hesitant and looking at this Falcons team, 952 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: is something goes wrong. I don't know who they play 953 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: in Week one, but some team is going to take advantage. 954 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 1: We like, there's a team that there's something there, there's 955 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: like a little there's something about having that that kind 956 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: of hangover, but other teams will seize on I'm buying 957 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,319 Speaker 1: into it, Alex. Does they play your Bears, They're gonna 958 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 1: crush Oh my god, No, it's a hangover here. That's 959 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,279 Speaker 1: a gatorade. The Bears will be at the Falcons in 960 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,960 Speaker 1: Week one. That's a guarantee. All right. Off of Facebook live. 961 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: Robert Rodriguez asked, Uh, Murray, I'm assuming this is DeMarco 962 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: Murray or Todd Gurley. Oh, Marco also just too quick 963 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 1: put a pin. And I do believe in the hangover thing. 964 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: I don't believe in the he's in an ad He's 965 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 1: gonna play worse this year. That's that's where I stood 966 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,919 Speaker 1: on that discussion. Okay, alright, fair enough, let's close out 967 00:49:47,040 --> 00:50:01,760 Speaker 1: with a round of daily Depths Depth Depth, Daily Dap.

Oh yeah, I have never ever 1109 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 1: watched the SPS and don't ever care too, so I 1110 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 1: have no idea. I just saw the means of Kevin Durant. 1111 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 1: I have no idea. You didn't see the video of 1112 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 1: his mom was laughing. He knows it's coming, and he 1113 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,200 Speaker 1: knows he has to play the straight face, like when 1114 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 1: you do the roast with Chris D'Elia and all those guys. 1115 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 1: They don't know what's coming, but they know how to 1116 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 1: respond to that kind of stuff, Like they don't need 1117 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,840 Speaker 1: to be coached somebody like Kevin Durant. They're gonna be like, hey, 1118 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna do a joke about you. So just sit 1119 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 1: there stune faced. Because I think also when you look 1120 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 1: back to when Norm McDonnel was the host of the 1121 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 1: SPS and murdered people, that they started to have that. 1122 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 1: They had to let the athletes so like, hey, this 1123 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,960 Speaker 1: is coming because otherwise and Peyton, um, well I know 1124 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 1: this a little bit too because of these stories. I 1125 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: don't know who told me. I've already out of him. 1126 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,200 Speaker 1: But Peyton didn't want to super hard on people. Of course, 1127 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 1: wanted to have a good time. I don't want to 1128 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 1: underfend anybody. UM, So to be able to do a 1129 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:26,960 Speaker 1: joke like that on Kevin Durant, they had to run 1130 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 1: it up. I'm when I don't know for sure, but 1131 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident like the producers had. When I saw 1132 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 1: the video, I was like, is this real? Man? I mean, 1133 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:38,400 Speaker 1: you see videos down on the internet.
