We got some happy our action 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.839 going on right now, but I am holding you down 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.479 with my guys down in the fantasy pit of misery. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.640 To help you win your leagues and win that cast, 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.200 I want to give you some news and notes from 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.840 around the NFL, and we start with practice reports. Remember 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:16.600 how yesterday I told you Uhland didn't practice and uh 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.320 four Nett was limited. They're all gonna go, though, don't 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.839 worry about it, right So for the large for the 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.920 most part, it's the same thing today. Adam back at 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.239 practice on a limited basis. He's got a back injury, 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.799 he's working through it, He'll be fine. Rex burkehead back 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.479 at practice, coming back from that knee injury. Limited practice. 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.599 I think he's gonna go. And I think that does 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.719 have impact for guys like James White, guys like Dion Lewis. 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.400 If you want to get Patriots running backs into your 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.719 DFS lineups, all of a sudden, they become once again 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.280 a fantasy herd. I might look elsewhere. Tomorrow. I'll give 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.480 you my DFS line up for Championships Sunday. Leonard four 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.359 Nette back limited participant with that ankle, but he's going 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.760 to go the other one, I will tell you. And 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.800 people are losing their am minds on on this one. 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.960 Tom Brady didn't practice today. Um, he was limited yesterday, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:13.600 downgraded to d n P today. Now I maintain that 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.920 Tom Brady is going to play, going to be the 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.240 quarterback for the Patriots in the a f C Championship game. 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.080 But if you listen to the fantasy freestyle, you know 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.440 I hate midweek injuries because that means it happens in practice. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.720 They talked about it already, jammed his hand in practice 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.599 on Wednesday. I don't like midweek downgrades. And he went 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.400 from limited to d n P. These are issues. Okay, 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.920 this is real. And here's the thing thing. Will it 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:43.080 be an issue? Probably not. He'll be fine, but the 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:49.119 Jags are gonna get pressure. They're going to hit Tom Brady. Um, 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.440 so let's find out what happens. Tom Brady will go. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.120 The only thing is will this actually be an issue 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.080 in performance? I think it's very interesting. Let's see if 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.880 Tom Brady practices tomorrow. Also news, the New York Jets 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.560 have fired their offensive coordinator Johnny Morton. This after just 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.320 one year. And here's the interesting part. They're saying that 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:12.040 there was some philosophical differences or some issues he had 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.920 with players and with Todd Bowles. Maybe there was just 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.520 no chemistry and it took them a year to figure 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.000 it out. Some people are talking about Todd Haley, how 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.840 he might get a look. Remember he's no longer with Pittsburgh. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.679 Most people, though, consider the current quarterbacks coach, Jeremy Bates, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.000 the strong candidate to take that role. I told you 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.560 about Todd Haley, how he has moved on from Pittsburgh. Well, 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.800 the Steelers made an official today. They have in fact 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.720 elevated Randy Fitchner to be their offensive coordinator. He was 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.320 their quarterbacks coach, and like I said, big Ben wanted this. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.840 Big Ben was close to him. Big Ben said, remember 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.720 quote unquote the least amount of change because they're on 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.760 the precipice there. So it looked like big Ben Levi 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.120 on Bell. You hear Antonio Brown, you hear Martavis Brian. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.720 It looks like they're going to give it one more shot. 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.880 I'm telling you right now, next year will be the 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.320 last year of the window over the Pittsburgh Steelers, because 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.360 after next year, big Ben, by if they franchise tag 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:13.000 Levan Bell again next year, by so next year is 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:18.440 going to be the opportunity for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:23.080 Um I talk about Jarvis Landry and how we wanted 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.680 that Davanta Adams money. We talked about that. We're also 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.480 hearing today he's reinforcing this. Okay, he's saying he will 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.680 not take a quote unquote hometown discount for the Miami Dolphins. 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.959 I think Landry is gonna wind up elsewhere. I think 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.160 he is going to test the free agent market and 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.079 there will be someone out there that offers him, you know, 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:45.440 fifteen million dollars a year. I expect Jarvis Landry to 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.640 go elsewhere. So what does that mean? That means if 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.640 you're in a dynasty league, guys like DeVante Parker, guys 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.400 like Kenny Stills, they will have their usage, their target 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:58.280 rate go up. Remember with the returning Ryan Tannehill all likelihood, 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.720 So keep an eye on guys like Davanta Parker, especially 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.280 in dynasty leagues. I think he's gonna do much better 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.800 because I also think the targets that went Jarvis Landry's 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.200 way will not be there anymore. The last note I 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.320 will give you is that the Falcons, remember there's been 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.839 Mustra consternation about this, The Falcons have announced they in fact, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.760 will retain their offensive coordinators. Thief Sarkaesian for the two 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.360 thousand and eighteen season. All Right, I've been talking to 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.000 you guys all week about the Major League Baseball hot 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:27.680 stove and how there's not a lot of things that 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.360 have been going on so far. I told you about 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.000 some of the reasons why I believe that was on 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.760 Tuesday's show. I told you about the big time free 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:40.000 agent class next offseason, with names like Machado, Donaldson, Harper, Kirkshaw, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.200 black Men, Kaiko, and more. And that's the thing, right, 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.959 Teams might be saving their pocketbooks, saving their buckets this 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.000 year to blow it out next year. Teams are trying 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.920 to get under that one eight nine threshold to not 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.480 have to pay the luxury tax. Right. I also said 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.040 that Scott Boris has all these clients, so maybe he 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.520 can kind of control the entire marke it. You know, 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.840 he doesn't wanna, you know, settle with one of his 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.040 clients to start a ripple effect for his other clients, 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.320 so he's holding that line a little bit more, and 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.600 with all the clients that he has, he's able to 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.640 do that. I told you about a great piece that 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.280 I saw from Jeff Bisson out there in Yahoo's saying 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.320 there's not really a lot of diversity of thinking these 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.240 days in front offices. So that means all these teams 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.959 are valuing the same stats. Maybe it used to be 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.360 it used to be things like on base percentage. Now 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:30.040 it's things like you know, launch angle. You know. Now 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.319 it's things like pitch traming stuff like that. So what 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.440 all the front office is valuing the same things? They're 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.400 all They've got all these free agents on the same 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.000 big board, you know, pretty much. And that's a very 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.000 interesting thing. But listen, there was some trades. The Marlins 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:48.839 went absolutely crazy, right, trading Osuna, trading Gordon, trading John 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:53.160 Carlo Stanton. But here's what I think can still happen. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.120 Marlin's ain't done yet, Okay, Christian Yellich. They're not gonna 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.880 keep Kristin Yellis. I'm telling you right now, they're gonna 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:01.679 move him. I think they're gonna move him to the 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.719 Atlanta Braves. If you want to know the truth. They're 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.160 talking about maybe Dancy Swanson coming back. I think they're 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.439 gonna move Yellow. I think they're gonna move JT. Real Muto. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.680 If you're a team that needs a catcher, this is 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.600 a catcher that can hit on the top of the lineup. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.840 These these don't grow up on trees. Okay. I think JT. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.880 Real Muto will still move in the next month and 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.280 a half. And also remember, with the Marlins now Starlin 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.520 Castro also requesting the trade, wouldn't it be crazy if 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.040 they just traded him right back to the Yankees. Yankees 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.000 need a second baseman, a third baseman unless you believe 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.679 in Miguel and Uhar and gliber Torres or Ronald terrey As. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.280 I think, much like when the Yankees traded Chapman to 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.120 the Cubs and then just got him back, they might 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.000 do the same thing with Start. But check this out. 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.160 I think there's also a reliever's market. I know Brad 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.080 Hand signed the three year deal with San Diego, but 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.680 this kind of lefty out of the pen I still 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.680 think has great demand. This is a guy with almost 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.079 twelve ks per nine innings. This is a guy who 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.280 had a two point one six e r A. The 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.520 Padres don't really need him. I think he can still 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.480 be moved even after signing a three year deal. You 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.720 also have Greg Holland out there there, who I still 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.400 think will be elsewhere. You have forty one saves for 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.760 the Rockies, seventy kanes and only fifty one innings pitch. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.679 You're telling me there aren't some teams out there, the 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:23.280 Astros mm hmm, the Giants m the Rockies even though 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.400 they've bolstered it with Ray Davis and stuff. I think 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.280 there are some players places out there that still are 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:31.200 in the reliever market. What about these Royals? The Royals 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:36.360 still need to move Hosmer Hassmer three eighteen Homers. He's 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.920 gonna go somewhere. Maybe he even goes back to Kansas City. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.760 But if he goes back to Kansas City, then guess what. 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:45.640 Lorenzo Kane is gone, Mussostakis gone. Could the New York 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:50.440 Mets take a guy like a Mike Mustakas. I think 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.560 that's viable. You know, they already got Adrian Gonzalez, right, 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.440 so I think they're out on Hasmer, But what about 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.360 a guy like Mustakas? Do they have enough money? Will 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.320 they spend money? Maybe not? You know what about other 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:07.280 contenders like uh, for example, in Seattle. You don't think 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.400 in Seattle they could use a guy like Lorenzo Kane. 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.200 You know, I know they got d Gordon is gonna 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.160 play center field for them. We'll see check this out. 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.840 There's still the trade market, I mean the starter market. 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.800 Alex Cobb can still be moved, Like what if the 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.400 Tampa Bay what's Tampa Bay doing? Could they move Alex Cobb? 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.080 I think that could still happen. Could Michael Fulmer be 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.360 moved in Detroit? Like they right now are in full 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.040 on rebuild May maybe they can get more pieces for Fullmer? 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.400 Right you Darvish still out there, Jake Arietta still out there. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.800 Maybe the Raizal trade more than just Alex Cobb. Maybe 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.360 Odor Rizzy could be on the block as well. And 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:45.160 then listen in the NL Central, I think there's something 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.840 like the Pirates just traded Andrew McCutchen already. What about 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.480 Josh Harrison, He's requesting a trade now, the longest tenured Pirate. 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.400 What about a guy like Billie Hamilton's. You're telling me 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.280 Billie Hamilton's couldn't be a nice little ad for a 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.960 team that's uh, you know, trying to trying to make noise. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.000 What about a team like the Minnesota Twins. I know 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.960 they have Buckston, but Buckston has been up and down. 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.200 What about more speed? What a guy like Billy Hamilton's 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:14.720 you know what about UM the defending a L champions 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.720 Houston Astros. I know they have Springer out there, but 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.200 these are guys that still can be This is what's 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.520 making it harder for me to make my ranks. We 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.800 talked about UM in Chicago. What about a guy like 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.920 Abasaiiel Garcia. They don't know, like the socks been full 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.200 on rebuild mode, like maybe you know, so these are 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.240 things there's still I I told you before that you know, 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.320 as of like last week, there was only forty five 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.280 free agent deals made that compared to like sixty two 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.440 and eighty eight ninety two in years passed. That makes 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.720 for this next month and a half before pitches and 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.480 catchers report, which is happening, and under a month, there's 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.040 gonna still be a lot of activity. And that's why 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.560 I personally speeds the spitting statistician, is waiting to make 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.800 my rankings and to start going team by team because 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.520 there's lot of movement still. J D. Martinez also still 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.600 the big shoe to drop. We heard that Boston offered 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.160 him five for one hundred. Who else did? There's gonna 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.360 be still some things left happen all right, when we 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.600 come back here on Fantasy Freestyle, I give you my 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.320 confidence ranks for the four coaching staffs that are left. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.360 You don't want to miss that. It's Dame Martinez speeds 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:28.760 and spent Statistician. Right here's Fantasy Freestyle. Let's go.

Welcome back to the 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.160 Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.000 You should avoid Dane Martinez speeds and spitting Statistician, the 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:18.560 stable genius of the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Right here, 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.920 we're getting down with the hashtag stats overbeat Cipher. If 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.080 you want to join the cipher. All you gotta do 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.400 is follow me on Twitter at Spitting Speeds if you 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.880 could join the chat room that's in the Fantasy Sports 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.720 Network YouTube chat. I got my man Danny all over. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.400 They're monitoring the chat. We're gonna go to him a 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.400 little bit later on in the show, and you could 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.320 always still holler at me at eight four or four 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.760 eight four, three, six, eight seven nine. People don't want 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.720 to call me now that the football season is over. 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.640 I feel used. You know. During the football season I 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.400 had like five, ten, fifteen callers a day, but they 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.640 didn't really love me. They just loved my information. You know. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.400 There they were was like should I sit this guy? 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.680 I start him? Should I take this trade? Should I 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.600 make this waiver claim? Now all of a sudden they 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.200 don't want to hall at your boy. But that's okay. 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.560 We still got the stats over beat cipher, and I'm 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.879 still gonna make it happen, whether it be through Twitter, 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.280 whether it be through the YouTube chat, because I want 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.080 to allow you to be part of the show here 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.320 on the Fantasy Freestyle where we drop stats over beats. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.199 I told you though, is that what I'm gonna do 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.520 is I'm gonna rank my confidence in the four coaching 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:24.439 staffs that are left in the NFL, and and it 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:28.080 probably goes without saying, Okay, Number one is Bill Belichick 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.720 and the Patriots, right. I mean, Bill Belichick is the 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.520 top dog. He's been there for, you know, between fifteen 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.800 and twenty years. They've had kind of a dynasty unlike 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.960 any other so far and in the history of the NFL. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.320 So obviously, I mean, like it is their seventh straight 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.720 a f C Championship game, seven in a row. They've 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.560 been in this final four round seven years in a row. 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.679 And that's why I put up my poll question today 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:57.520 because I wanted to see, like, you know, it's the 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.840 age old question, does Brady need Belich echoed this, Belichick 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.919 need Brady, right, And that's why I said, would you 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.200 rather if you can only have one, would be the quarterback, 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.920 the defense, the coaching, or the trenches, the old line 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.239 and the D line. And I'm I'm intrigued that so 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.959 many more people say the quarterback then the coach. So 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.200 it seems like people think that the advantage that Belichick 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:20.040 may have over his competition is not as important as 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.560 Tom Brady up against some of these inexperienced quarterbacks that 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.399 he's already faced, whether it be Mariota Osweiler or the 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.639 ones that he stands to face like Blake Bortles and 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.720 potentially Nick Foles in the Super Bowl, or case Kingdom even. 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.480 But yes, Bill Belichick is my number one coach and 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:39.240 coaching staff. But I gotta tell you something. I don't 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:40.840 know how much longer it lasts. You know, we heard 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.720 about all the drama, right But I've said this before 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.360 and I'll say it right now. Josh McDaniels is gonna leave, 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:50.040 Matt Patricia is going to leave this high potential linebackers coach. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.560 They have Brian Flores, He's in play for the job 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:57.680 in Arizona. So what happens then this talk of Greg 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.199 Schiano maybe being a replacement defensive ordinator. If they have 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.360 to go outside the the organization, what are they gonna 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.840 do with OC? I think, you know, every coach always 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.240 talks about how important their coordinators, their position coaches are. 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.840 I understand Belichick's been doing it for so long. I 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.960 understand that he is like the tone center there, the 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.159 one voice. But I want to see what happens in 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.760 the future. But for now and for the next two 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.600 games that I think the Patriots play Bill Belichick is 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.480 the number one coach of everyone left the second one 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.159 as I go down from Belichick in my number two spot, 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.560 it's Mike Zimmer in the Minnesota Vikings. I mean, everyone 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.800 loves this guy. He's a mix of a player's coach 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.200 and UH and they kind of feel general like hold 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.600 you accountable. Everyone loves him, you know what. I also 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.080 love I love that he had that I issue like 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.840 he's on he was on the sidelines, like wearing a patch. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.640 He was on the sidelines with his glasses, like this 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.560 is a guy that will be in the trenches. I 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.800 like the disposition of Mike Zimmer. The only beef I 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:59.520 have with Zimmer is why is he playing Case Keenum 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.320 like this? You know, throughout the season, case Keenum was 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.080 playing like at a Pro Bowl level, and and Zimmer 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.520 just wouldn't commit to him as his starting quarterback. He's like, yeah, 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.000 he's my quarterback next week. Like it seems like he 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:14.600 really wanted Teddy Bridgewater to take the mantle. And I think, 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.840 you know, I love what he's done culture wise in Minnesota. 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.880 I love what he's done implementing his defensive scheme. That's 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:22.560 why I mentioned to you that they were my number 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:26.080 one defense remaining even over cat scratch fever. Right, I 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.200 said that yesterday. And I like the way he's building 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.800 this team, but but I don't really get what he's 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.919 doing at that quarterback situation. Right, He's now gonna have 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:40.520 this quarterback quandary next year because Keenom free agent, Bradford 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.480 free agent, Teddy Bridgewater free agent, So we gotta see 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.120 what is he doing in two thousand eighteen. There's reports 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.440 that Pat Shermer wherever he goes. Remember he's a candidate 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.960 in Arizona, he's a candidate for the Giants, that he 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.280 might try to take case Keenom with him as like 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:58.000 a package deal. So I love Zimmer, but the way 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.000 he's handled the quarterback situation and it's a little weird 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.800 for me, but he's still definitively the number two in 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:09.080 my rankings, behind only Bill Belichick. The last two when 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.720 we go to the Eagles and the Jags. This is 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.520 kind of a it was really a tie. It was 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:16.239 really like a flip of the coin for me. If 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:17.840 you want to know the truth, if you want to 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:19.240 know the truth, this was a flip of the coin 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.160 for me, but ultimately I went in the three spot 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.760 for me with Jacksonville Doug Marone, and you got to 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.680 kind of put like Tom Coughlin in there as well, right, 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.760 Tom Coughlin returning to the franchise that he took to 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.720
