Speaker 1: And then and then when you say I've been married

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: for eight years, that sounds like a long time too.

18

Speaker 1: That sounds like a long time too. So uh, no,

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: I was in Palm Springs. What's up? Right? O, Hey,

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: I just had to wait to be addressed. You don't

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: have to wait to be addressed. You never wait to

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: be addressed. I do. I typically do unless it's super egregious.

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: But this is egregious in a good way because I

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: wanted to say congratulations, that's great. I appreciate. And baby

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: Coe is three, she's three. Yeah, we left her over

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: how pretty bad? Pretty bad? This is one of the

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: This was one of the worst weekends of my life. Wow,

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: I um, how much of this involved? Buddy norse? All

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: of it? My my two year old had a birthday party.

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: It was and sorry because only James was invited. So

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: I apologize because you only invite you only invite people

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: with kids, like you want to invite somebody with a

34
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: with a with a todd like if you don't have

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: a baby, like I always feel like I would like

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: because then somebody's on the hook for a gift if

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: you're not going to get reciprocal at it, at least

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: not for a while. So I was so all the

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: single guys are always like, okay, you guys, you just

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: move to the list. But anyways, it went off without

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: a hitch. It was amazing. It was really like for

42
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: these for kids birthday parties and listen, I'll put this

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: on front street. If it sucks, I will call it out.

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't care whose it is. This one was literally,

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: not figuratively, really was really was great. And so that

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: was good. The Angels won, so they had taken the

47
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: series against Toronto and Sunday it seemed like a great day.

48
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: And I, you know, and as the as the as

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: the giver that I am, I said, fine, I'll go

50
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: to church. And this is the problem is I said

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: I'll go to church on Sunday. I'm following the game

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: on my phone, you know, but I turn it off

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm not going to silence it because I

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: don't want to the accidental like oh the ring tones up.

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: I completely turned it off and then go go to lunch.

56
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Angels were up, tend or whatever. Perfect. And then I

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: get a text when we're at lunch and my friends like,

58
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: how do we lose that game? And I'm like, you

59
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: better be joking. This is the worst it is. And

60
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: they lost. And what's amazing is is that, uh, this

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: was the second time in a week buddy Norris had

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: given up a walk off Grand Slam, which I feel

63
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: is difficult to do, Like that doesn't happen all the time.

64
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: And then James has to text me like, hey, our

00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: this sort of thing. And it's miserable and sticky and uh,

00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,360

Speaker 1: the studio. Yes, the wiskid from Wisconsin kill miserable and

81
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,599

82
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good one. I don't hate it, but

Speaker 1: I'm ready to get into it. Man, training campus here.

00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,039

Speaker 1: Miller on the list, uh des nuke, Julius Thomas on

96
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: this list now necessary. These guys aren't necessarily primed for

97
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: a bounce back, but they are bounced back candidates, if

98
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: that makes any sense. We'll talk about whether or not

99
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: these guys will have a good after falling off a

100
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: bit in ten will round out your show with a

101
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: round of daily depths, but we start the show as

102
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: always with your top headlines, the camera highlights in the

103
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: world of sport, breaking news, breaking continue to follow breaking news,

104
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: had your kids, has your wife, And of course I

105
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: would be remiss without welcoming and those folks from Facebook

106
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: Live will answer your questions as they become available as well.

107
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: If you would be also kind as to share this

108
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: Facebook Live session, that would be much appreciate. We'll start

109
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. Could Andrew Luck miss week one? Question mark?

110
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: He's on the Colts preseason publist, He's had some sterious

111
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: shoulder surgery. He's throwing program has literally just begun and

112
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: has been limited to throwing tennis balls, not football's quite yet,

113
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: So again, could he miss week one? Well, he wouldn't

114
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: say yes or no when asked about it by reporters.

115
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: This is a quote, There's no reason to freak out.

116
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Luck said, I don't know what day it's going to be.

117
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: I don't know what week, I don't know when, but

118
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: I definitely will be better. I mean that is a

119
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: about as lukewarm a response as you could give about

120
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: Will he miss week one? Yes? Shouldn't he be definitive?

121
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean dismissing this being a ridiculous of course, I'm

122
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: gonna be there week one. That ridiculous, Like, I don't

123
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: even know why you guys are talking about. That's what

124
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: kind of makes me pause. He's basically saying he's missing

125
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: the first eight weeks is severe. But when you when

126
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: you think about like, no, when you've got to you've

127
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: got a ground on a curve of athletes speak, Isn't

128
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: that right? And what he's saying that is rather alarming,

129
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Like because these guys don't like to admit that they're hurt.

130
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Outside of Ben Roethlisberger, uh, but most quarterbacks don't like

131
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: to admit that they're hurt. And I don't know, maybe

132
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: he went to the but I've never thought of Andrew

133
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: Luck in that way of somebody who needs that attention

134
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: like his. You know, he's not threatening to retire or anything,

135
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's pretty serious. Franchise over here steaming well,

136
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: he's he knows I'm right, That's why he's like, I'm

137
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, we've discussed anyway. I watched the video

138
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: of Luck talking to reporters, and it seems like he

139
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to be definitive because he doesn't want to

140
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: have that pressure and then rush himself back be like, yeah,

141
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: I'll be there week one, and then that sets a

142
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: timetable for him to be back, and he doesn't want

143
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: to rush it. And he was talking about how he's

144
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: finally like he's putting weight back on that he might

145
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: have lost while he was in recovery. He said, I

146
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: had shoulder, I had surgery on my shoulder, but my

147
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: entire body has been effectively in recovery. So he's yes,

148
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm very concerned that he's not throwing footballs yet. It's

149
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the preseason. I dropped him in

150
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: my ranking staff. I think, Wow, that's a big drop.

151
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, we don't know when he's gonna be back.

152
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I don't. I'm not really sure

153
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: what his ADP is, but i'd imagine like I've seen

154
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: fifth round, yes, which is crazy. First six rounds. I'm

155
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: not drafted as a top four quarterback. I'm staying away. Man. Wow,

156
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: outside the top twelve that I think it's also worth noting.

157
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the guy who's still working his

158
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: way back from an injury. Andrew Luck takes a lot

159
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: of hits he does between playing behind a bad offensive line,

160
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: the fact that he will get out and run, he will,

161
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: he will take hits. So there's, you know, for all

162
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: the great things he can do when he's healthy and available,

163
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: there is risk involved, maybe more than you know a

164
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: lot of the other top you know, three or four quarterbacks.

165
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: And he likes to stand back there and scan the field. Man,

166
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: He's not afraid, you know what I mean. He's not

167
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: afraid to take a big hit to make a big play. Um,

168
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: And I think they've been trying to limit that little

169
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: bit doing you know, doing that whole Hey, get the ball,

170
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: all quicker, Get the ball, all quicker. But that's just

171
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: not how he plays. But man, I don't know. He

172
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: has taken a lot of sacks. I'm trying to actually

173
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: find out how many he's had in compared to the

174
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: league since he joined. Give me one second, but I asked.

175
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: I do think it's time to start start taking stock

176
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: in Like maybe we should move t Y Hilton Town.

177
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: Maybe we should move Donte Moncrief down if he If

178
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: Andrew luck is out of the offense, I mean that

179
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: entire offense. Yeah, I mean sinks, you know, I mean

180
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: I think Dante Mokriefe takes a huge down grade. I

181
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: think t Y Hilton he's a good enough player where

182
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, regardless he's going to see the targets and

183
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: you would think that he could try to make the

184
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: most of them. But man, I mean that entire offense

185
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: would would definitely definitely uh sink a bit in But

186
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: in his tear though with t Y Hilton, with some

187
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: of the players that he's competing against for your draft position,

188
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: against those guys, he would have to start sliding a

189
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, well, let me ask you this, new

190
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: Copkins or t Y Hilton as we should Hopkins. I

191
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm so, I'm so on board with new Coopkins arrested

192
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: last year, doesn't it doesn't matter to me anymore, especially

193
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: with everything we brought os weel and that was an aberration.

194
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: That's one of those I mean, it's similar to me

195
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: what Mike Evans was going through last year when drafts

196
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: and people are like, WHOA three touchdowns? I don't know

197
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: if I want to touch it. Touch this guy's like,

198
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: that's going to be a misnomer on his statue When

199
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: you look back in a decade, how do you have

200
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: just three touchdowns are and the same thing will happen.

201
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: We have a bit of breaking news here, but got

202
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: an email that Adam Gates said j A I is

203
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: being evaluated for concussion. So nothing conclusive yet. Could just

204
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, have gotten bumped on ahead and be okay,

205
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: but something that we will now of course, need to monitor.

206
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: He got mashed in practice, Alex, I don't know. I

207
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: don't know if you ever found that stat. No, go ahead,

208
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: an dabs all right, we have to break that appropriately.

209
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Luck had been sacked a hundred and fifty six times

210
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: in seventy games since he UH came into the league

211
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: in twelve. It's a fund like the top ten highest

212
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: people who have been sacked or he has the fewest

213
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: games in he's eleventh of those people. And he's the

214
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: only one aside from Alex Smith to play in seventy

215
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: one or fewer games. I lied. Colin Kaepernick has been

216
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: sacked a lot too. You know what, but it's not great. Well, No,

217
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick is number two in terms of sacks and hits.

218
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: Number one UH in that same time period would be

219
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. And regarding that game plan, that new game

220
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: plan in Caroline, Oh remember We're gonna keep Cam Newton

221
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: in the pocket. We're gonna keep him in the pocket.

222
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: You know about that. I don't know if Cam Newton's

223
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: buying in. This is what he told reporters. Quote, that's

224
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: my edge. You're gonna expect a lion not to roar

225
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: question mark. He went on to say, over my career

226
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: and body of work, the things that put me at

227
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: an advantage most times is having the ability to run. Now,

228
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: we'll get rid of all the the nonsensical hot takes

229
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: regarding Cam Newton's running ability which we have seen in

230
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: sports talk radio, which is just nonsense cool and it

231
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: just drives me up the walk. That's okay. Um. From

232
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, what we have talked about, or at

233
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: least what I have pounded on the table four, is

234
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: the fact that Cam is Cam. He's been in the

235
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: league long enough, he's been an m VP, he's seen success,

236
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: he's played in the Super Bowl. I never bought the

237
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: idea that Cam Newton was gonna buy into the idea

238
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: of being a pocket passer, especially considering the fact that

239
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: this guy is a fifty eight percent or I think

240
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: it's fifty yeah, fifty eight percent uh, career completion percentage guy. Right,

241
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: So he's not he is such a great player, But

242
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: he's right. The reason he's great is because he's so

243
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: versatile and because you can't really limit him in any

244
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: one area. So I don't know. To me, this is

245
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: one of those things where you know, if you're expecting

246
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: him to be one of those pocket passing guys, I'm

247
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: not seeing it. And the reason I bring it up

248
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: is not necessarily for Cam Newton's fantasy value, but for

249
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: somebody like Christian McCaffrey. Yeah. And we saw last week

250
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: when Cam was throwing for the first time on the

251
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: practice field. His first pass went to Jonathan Stewart. So

252
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: we're running back, so they're trying to maybe trying to

253
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: work on these shorter passes out of the backfield, and

254
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey needs to get up to speed there in

255
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: that offense. Um. But now Cam has a lot of

256
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: weapons to dump the ball off to. Got Greg Olsen, Yeah,

257
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: and and the two wide receivers on the outside, Devin Funchius.

258
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: And I think Cam is a good value at quarterback

259
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, he's primed for a bounce back.

260
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: Last year was terrible. Oh, my god, he's going QB

261
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: seven on average according the fantasy process. That's about right. Yeah,

262
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: that sounds about right. But you can wait. You can

263
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: wait till like the ninth round probably to grab him.

264
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: I feel like, oh, I mean, I do think at

265
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: some point he he's never gonna stop running. He's never

266
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: gonna be just a straight dropback pocket passer. But I

267
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: also do think everybody around the Panthers, and I think

268
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: Cam himself knows that he can't run quite as much

269
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: as he did earlier in his career. Last year he

270
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: only ran ninety times. That was by far the lowest

271
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: number of his career. Yeah. Um, such a big story

272
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: about him last year was, you know, the feeling that

273
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting protected by the referees, that he was

274
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: taking hits and that sort of thing. Um, And I

275
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: don't know that all of a sudden it's going to

276
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: change this year. So there is going to have to

277
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: be at least some change in the way he plays.

278
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: Maybe not, He's never gonna, you know, turn into Tom

279
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: Brady and just stand back there and sling the ball

280
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: around what. It wouldn't make sense. It's not his game,

281
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: and it just it would hamper everything about the Panthers offense.

282
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: But I do truly believe that they want to get

283
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: the ball out of his hands quickly and a little

284
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: bit more than they have in the past. And so

285
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: that is going to mean that maybe some of those

286
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: maybe some of those designed runs aren't there, Maybe they

287
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: ended his short passes to whether it's McCaffrey or Curtis

288
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: Samuel or Jonathan Stewart, I do think that we're going

289
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: to see him run less. Can we talk about Liz.

290
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: Can we talk about Christian McCaffrey's you know, fourth round

291
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: draft price? Right now, it seems as if his ADP

292
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: is starting to fall a little bit, and I think

293
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with the fact

294
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: that uh drafters are starting to become a little bit

295
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: savage to the fact that maybe Cam Newton won't change

296
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: as much as was anticipant. I also think people just

297
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: finally come back to reality after the post draft type

298
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: of like, oh my god, amazing player lands in good

299
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: offense with talented quarterback and then actually start to assess

300
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: his realistic value and ceiling like when he was going

301
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: when he was getting drafted in the like late second,

302
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: early third round. I think people were taking him and

303
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: has had his absolute ceiling and then now that they've

304
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: come back and like, okay, maybe I shouldn't jump that

305
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: high on him, like you know, protect him, insulate myself

306
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: a little bit from the fact that Jonathan Stewart is

307
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: going to see a bunch of carries and might steal

308
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns. Like fourth is starting to get

309
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: into a better range for him as a night, as

310
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: a nice solid like RB two pick up. He's in

311
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: the range of Spencer wear Time, Montgomery, Carlo's Hide, and

312
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Doug Martin. For some reason, I'd take the first three

313
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: over him. Starting to get worried about Doug Martin after

314
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: these reports that have been coming out of Tampa Bay.

315
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: I want no peace, no peace. I loved Dark Mount.

316
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: Doug Martin has a value when you coul get him

317
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: in the eighth round for fourth round. No, no, oh no,

318
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't want any piece of that. Although it does

319
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff. It's Doug Martin, Mike Gillisly Adrian

320
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: Peterson are also in the fourth round, which is like nope,

321
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: I will my Gillstly and Adrian Peterson come on, y'all.

322
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't make no kind of sense. All right, So

323
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: there you go, um Per forty Niners. Oh, by the way,

324
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: this is interesting Christian McCaffrey. Right now in twelve team leagues, uh,

325
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: going overall forty one overall on Fantasy football calculator is

326
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide, which brings me to San Francisco. Uh Per

327
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: forty Niners dot Com. G M John Lynch said, Carlos

328
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Hide has a quote tremendous. Hide has apparently read the

329
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: writing on the wall, I think. Anyways, Uh, he's taken

330
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: his conditioning to another level. He showed up to training

331
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: camp at two hundred and two two hundred and two hundred,

332
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty eight pounds. It's the lightest he's

333
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: ever been at the pro level, but Hide himself says

334
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: it's the lightest he's been since high school. Hashtag b

335
00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: s O h L. This is a quote from Carlos Hide. Literally,

336
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: this is like what I'm in the best shape of

337
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: my life right now HL forever. Yeah, man, I absolutely

338
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: love it. All right, So what do we make of

339
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: these reports? We'll start with you MG. UM. I mean, look,

340
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: obviously he's heard the whispers and he's heard the talk,

341
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: you know, everything from he could lose his job, that

342
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: he might flat out be released. I mean that's been

343
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: the talk this offseason. I don't believe that. I think

344
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: he'll be the starter. I think, yeah, he'll see the

345
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: bulk of the work. But I did find yesterday um O,

346
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: our pal t j Hernandez over for for Ford, did

347
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: a really interesting piece looking at how Kyle Shanahan as

348
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: a play caller has sort of influenced things and the

349
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: way he distributes the football, And one of the things

350
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: I took away from it is generally Kyle Shanahan has

351
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: not just you know, featured one runner exclusively. He's worked

352
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: guys in. I mean we saw it a lot obviously

353
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: the last couple of years with Davonte Freeman and Tevin

354
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: Coleman there. So I think you'll see Carlos Hide get

355
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: a fair share that carries maybe even more of them.

356
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: But don't be surprised if you see Joe Williams work

357
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: in a lot. I mean, this is a guy that

358
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: both Shanahan and John Lynch really loved coming out of

359
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: the draft. Um And you know, at least on paper,

360
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: he seems to fit with what Shanahan would like to

361
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: do offensively with this club, so I think he's gonna

362
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: get some work. I still wouldn't completely discount Carlos Hide.

363
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: I still think it's gonna be a big part of

364
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: what they do offensively, but I would expect that there

365
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: will be more of a rotation there in San Francisco

366
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: then maybe we've seen the last couple of years. Carlos

367
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: Hyad is starting to become one of my favorite mid

368
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: round guys because I feel like he has an opportunity

369
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: in front of him to really not only grab Ahold

370
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: of his job, but again because I think the offense

371
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: is going to be better than it was last year.

372
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: I think he's got a real opportunity to be a

373
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: game changer in fantasy this year. And you're not investing,

374
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, a top three pick and the guy I'm saying,

375
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: you're not gonna draft him in the first three rounds

376
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: if you can get him in round four, round five

377
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: into team standard. He's starting to become one of those

378
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: guys that I will heavily target if especially if I'm

379
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: going wide receiver earlier. Draps. Yeah, but somebody in that

380
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco offense is gonna play well, and it is

381
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: the running back is gonna benefit from having Kyle Shanahan there.

382
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm just not confident that it's gonna be Carlos Hide.

383
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: We've seen great moments out of him. There are the

384
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: the hit the B button moments, spin moving against Minnesota

385
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and if I'm playing daily fantasy, I am

386
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: starting him week one no matter what, because that's usually

387
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: what he does. And then he's like, yeah, I'm out.

388
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: He's like, he's a good m C. He comes out,

389
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: gets the crowd hype, and then he goes all right,

390
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: Jesus stick around, Joy Levian Bell, everybody, stick around for

391
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: your headliner. You know. He actually though, um, if I

392
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: had If I'm in a draft where you get the

393
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: top let's say one of the top three running backs,

394
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: Let's say you get David Johnson. The fourth round of

395
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide is sitting there like, I feel pretty comfortable

396
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: at that moment, being like, all right, he's worth it

397
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: because Kyle Shanahan has shown that he he's a good

398
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: he's a good coach. You know what else I like

399
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: about that too, is the fact that you know the

400
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: handcuff you want to get. You want to get Joe Williams. Yeah,

401
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: and then you got a draft Joe Williams, and I

402
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: think that Matt Breida thing was just like, hey, look

403
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: at this guy who runs great and in camps unless

404
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: we see although he'll I guarantee you he'll have a

405
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: great preseason game and everybody's going to be all about him.

406
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: But it's troubling because you know one of those guys

407
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: is and you know that Shanahan is not afraid to

408
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: go to the guy who is just the best back

409
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: because when he came to Atlanta, they for whatever reason,

410
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: and it's probably because Mike Smith tried to ruin his

411
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: career but felt like Devonte Freeman was not the right

412
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: was not the right player. Well, Mike Smith tried to

413
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: ruin his own career by not going to divide. I

414
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: told him Davante Freeman was the best running back on

415
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: his team, and he's like, I'm gonna put out old

416
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: asked Steven Jackson, and he's gonna sit there and lay

417
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: the Dukie stinks all over the Georgia Dome. And that's

418
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: what happened. He got fired, and you know what, that's

419
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: what's make the decision. That's what happens. Wow, Wow, alright,

420
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: So I'm really interested. I know this is this is

421
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: part of the reason why I don't like drafting so late,

422
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: is that you get a chance to be like, well,

423
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: let's see how this works out. Let's see if if

424
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: if I show something in the preseason, or how this

425
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: goes a long like I'd like to draft now, and

426
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: you have to know, you have to make a decision.

427
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: Is how I gonna be the guy? Or is it

428
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna be Joe Williams like somebody else. It's not gonna

429
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: be Tim Hytower. But who is it going to be?

430
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: We'll go down the five Freeway, We'll go to l

431
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: a our backyard. Charger's head coach Anthony Lynn was asked

432
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: whether Mike Williams could miss the entire freaking season. Lint

433
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: old reporters quote, I'm hopeful that he's not. I'm hopeful

434
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: that he's not, but who knows. I don't know close

435
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: quote Williams is already set to miss the team's entire

436
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: training camp. Uh what the entire season? What? What is

437
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: with one? Than like he was gonna have surgery. Then

438
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: he's like, no, might not even miss a game. Now

439
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: I might miss the whole seasons. Just I haven't seen

440
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: a variance of an opinion like this since Taylor Swift.

441
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: They were like, it's so crazy. Some people love it,

442
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 1: and like, what is happening with william Alex Gale haw

443
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: your take. I'm a little shook from that Mike Williams

444
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift comparison. I mean, I like it. You guys laugh,

445
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: because that was a great tag. It was good. I'm

446
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: just trying. That was good. That was a solid tag.

447
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: It was it was good. It was really good. Okay,

448
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: So I think you know, this is kind of it's

449
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: kind of been in the works for a while, like

450
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: people were still wondering what was going to happen with

451
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. So Tyrell Williams is still the far better value,

452
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: and these question marks hanging around Mike Williams, He's starting

453
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: to drift into almost undraftable territory and you're gonna wait

454
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: and pick him up off the waiver. White. I mean,

455
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. He's a rookie in a crowded offense

456
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: with back injury concerns right now, not not getting trained

457
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: in campra I don't get it. Uh, yeah, I think

458
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Uh. If he was healthy and

459
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: he was out there, I love I would love the

460
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: upside pairing him with Philip Rivers, but given his current situation,

461
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: I kind of I tend to agree with you. I

462
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: don't know if he's drafted unless he gets out there

463
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: and starts bawling, like we can't really look at him.

464
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's it's a good piece of advice.

465
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: I know it's still, you know, relatively early, but can

466
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: we just talk about the fact that first round wide

467
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: receivers have had a rough go of it the last

468
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: couple of years. That's a good point. Treadwell. Treadwell, I

469
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: mean Corey Coleman had issue. Now, yeah, right, I mean

470
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, like I said, it's it's only

471
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: within the last within the last maybe two or three years.

472
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: But you know, first round wide receivers Philip Horsaid was

473
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: the first round or two. Yeah, oh no. But Odell

474
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: is the one who ruined it for us. Well, it

475
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: was his whole class, like him, Mike Evans, Calvin Benjamin,

476
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: those guys immediately assume well, a lot of those received

477
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: verse go to not great situations. And that was the

478
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: one thing that I really liked about Sandys was that

479
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: he was coming into an a spot where he wasn't

480
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: going to be the number one guy, where Keenan Allen

481
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: was going to be there draw the coverage. He's still

482
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: got Antonio Gates, Hunter Henry guys who can occupy the

483
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: field and draw attention away from him. So I thought

484
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: that Mike Williams, of any of the guys that we

485
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: were talking about, could have the opportunity to go out

486
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: and be a Odell Beckham Jr. Type of receiver because

487
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: he had a good quarterback, and he was in a

488
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: good offense, a passing offense, and he could easily step

489
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: in and the Chargers just roll out six four dudes,

490
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't it that's there and create a player mode

491
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: on that and they're like six four super fast. Let's

492
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: make his arms super big. So I thought it was

493
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: a perfect opportunity for him. But now he looks to

494
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: be more like Kevin White, who was in a similar

495
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: situation as well with al Sean and everything going on.

496
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: But I just couldn't get on the field. Yeah, we

497
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: go to Facebook life Billy Mitchell, who is a great

498
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: fan of the podcast and of our Facebook live sessions.

499
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: He has Yeah, Billy, what's up with a rookie hip trains?

500
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: Starting to slow down? Is Lenda four net he's going

501
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: in the second to third round. I get that he's

502
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: starting RB, but is that price worth it? Leonard Fournett

503
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: and the second to third round good price tag will

504
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: go around the horn. Matt Franciscovitch, what do you think

505
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: I am hesitant to take him that early right now,

506
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: till we see what's going on there? What's the hesitation?

507
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: You just don't think he's that good or offense? Yeah,

508
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: I got you know, I get your rank out there,

509
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: Gil your thoughts now I'm hesitant as well. Um, they

510
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: still have a lot of money tied in Chris Ivory,

511
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: t J Yelden still there to potentially steal passing down work.

512
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: We saw a beat reporter earlier. Of course, this basically

513
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: means nothing, but like Chris Ivory was getting the first

514
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: crack at first team reps with the team, Like even

515
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: if they skew super run heavy like the Black Bortles

516
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: turned the ball over a ton, that's going to steal

517
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: some scoring opportunities. Like there's a there's a lot of

518
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: red flags potentially for taking that guy who's not as

519
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: like you know, when Todd Gurley came to the Rams,

520
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: that year, he he was the guy. There was zero

521
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: question that that was his backfield. And same with Zeke

522
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: last year, like he was the guy. And there are

523
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: just these specters of these other two backs who have

524
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: had some fantasy success lingering around. Plus that's plus plus Jaguars.

525
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: To me, it's interesting that that for nets not in

526
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: that same class to me because uh yeah, because Ezekiel

527
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: Elliott went to a backfield that had a thousand yard

528
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: running back still there right. It had Darren mcfagh and

529
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: Freddy Morris and fred Morris, and and then we forget

530
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: to Morris hasn't done anything in like three years. No, No,

531
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: it's true, apparently he's he's on that but no. But

532
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: but the other thing is we forget that in St.

533
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: Louis to Trey Mason had a great year, uh the

534
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: year prior to to Todd Gurley showing up. Not saying

535
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: that Trey Mason, I believe he was like out of

536
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: the picture at the start of the year though with

537
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 1: an number of off field things. When Gurley was coming in,

538
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: he was it wasn't like he was there vying for

539
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: the starting role. I'm pretty sure he was like suspended

540
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: or released. I think well, because who started that at first?

541
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: For because it wasn't Todd Gurley, I forget his name.

542
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: He had a great second half, Zack Stacy. Was he

543
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: on a different team at that point? I don't really.

544
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: It was curtain Jerker McGee had a decent second half

545
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and I just fell off

546
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: the face of the earth. MG second or third round

547
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: grade for Leonard four net good bad value. What do

548
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: you think it's a little spicy for me? I mean,

549
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna have to pay. Yeah, and well,

550
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: especially if Blake Bortles keeps throwing pick after pick in practice. Um,

551
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: you get these reports of him throwing five interceptions, including

552
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: a pick six, you keep getting more reports like that,

553
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: that probce is gonna keep going up. For it was

554
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: Benny Cunningham, for the record, he had sixteen carries in

555
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: week one of that year. He had seven for the

556
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: whole year. Six fine and Trey Mason. Trey Mason led

557
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: the team with a whole lot of seven rushing attempts

558
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: in week two. There you go, all right, So there

559
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: you go, Adam ranking your thoughts. Second third round grade

560
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: for Leonard Fournette good value, no I've started to come

561
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: around on Leonard Fournette because I was at first, I

562
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: was like not, I was not going to get into

563
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: this because you know, you saw guys take over for

564
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: him at L s U and you're like, okay, that's

565
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: a system and everything like that. But Doug Moron came out,

566
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: I believe it was last week and said he wants

567
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: to run the ball on every down. He wasn't getting around,

568
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 1: and I think, like, you know, having Blake Bortles as

569
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: your quarterback will do that to you. We're like, yeah,

570
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: we're running, like we're not gonna it's like the dude

571
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: who's been pounding you know, pictures of Margarita's all night,

572
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: Like this dude's not driving. Like we're either gonna uber,

573
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna do something else. And so I think that

574
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: they now want to run the ball a lot. And

575
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: I feel that Chris Ivory and t J. Eldon, of

576
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: course they're there, but you've got to give the veterans

577
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: their opportunity. But you don't want to just hand anything

578
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: to the rookie, which is fine, he's gonna go out,

579
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna earn that job and he's going to be

580
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: in an offense where he's gonna be giving every opportunity

581
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: to run the ball between five times a game and

582
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: just volume alone, and that to me puts him into

583
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: the third round. Can I just say about Leonard four Nette. Yeah,

584
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: the Jaguars want to be a run first team, so

585
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: have the Browns for the last three years. So have

586
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: all these Isaac Crowell was pretty good and everybody's projecting

587
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: him year. He was had a good start and then

588
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: fell off when the Browns got really bad in the

589
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: middle of the season. But all I'm saying, every good

590
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: every team wants to be run heavy, but when you

591
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: get into the game script and you fall behind, you

592
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: can't be run heavy or you're gonna lose. And the

593
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: Jaguars have had the lowest scoring rushing offense in the

594
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: NFL last year, and they haven't rushed for double digit

595
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns as a team since two thousand ten. But they're

596
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna be in a lot more games this year. That

597
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: defense is improved. They're gonna be more competitive there. I

598
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: know we say this every year, like, yeah, they're gonna

599
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: go there. They're gonna be competitive for the playoffs. Jaguars

600
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: is still undefeat did in the last eight out of

601
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: eight off Season's guests. The jokes are the jokes, But

602
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point you put all that talent

603
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: together and I hate to put it on a small

604
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: sample size of what Doug Moron was able to do

605
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: in two games last year. But when you put in

606
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: Doug Moron, who was one of the one of the

607
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 1: top coaching candidates, he had done pretty well in Buffalo,

608
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: and you combine that with Tom Coughlin really bringing bringing

609
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: some stability and order to that franchise. I think that

610
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: if there's any if there's ever any year where they're

611
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna come back and finally start to fulfill that promise,

612
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be this one, and it's gonna be based

613
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: on having a strong defense and being able to run

614
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: the football. It's a great segue into our bounce back

615
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: candidate series here. Uh mg, my guy Marcus Grant wrote

616
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: a wonderful piece. Find at NFL dot com slash Grant.

617
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: They get the right, that's it. Okay, there go NFL

618
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: dot com slash Grant. I was like, is it slash

619
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant. No, it's slash Grant. All right, there you go, um,

620
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: because one of the candidates that you know, a lot

621
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: of books are wondering, is this guy gonna bounce back?

622
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles yards last year, twenty three pass touchdowns, sixteen interceptions,

623
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: Yet despite the horrific actual real life gameplay, he was

624
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 1: your quarterback nine last year in standard scoring leagues mgs

625
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: take according to the piece, top ten finish yet again

626
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: for Blake Bortles. Yeah, walk us through the wells. I

627
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: think it's less because Blake Bortles is going to be

628
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: hashtag good and more because it's kind of a function

629
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: of scoring in fantasy now. I mean, because you mean

630
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: it's stupid. Well, yeah, I mean like at some point

631
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: I feel like, and I think I think we discussed

632
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: this on Twitter a while back, like at some point

633
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: you need sort of an escalation of of negativity. Four

634
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who throw multiple picks. I mean like having every

635
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 1: pick b minus two doesn't hurt quite as much if

636
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: the guy throws you know, three four picks in a game.

637
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, sure it hurts, but it's minus eight.

638
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: It's supposed to having it maybe being an escalating scale

639
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: where after after you know that something, after the second pick,

640
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: it becomes minus three r minus four something. It's kind

641
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: of like the opposite way of like how kickers get

642
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: four points for a forty yard or five points for

643
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: a fifty yard You saying the other way, if you

644
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: throw that third pick right, then it's gotta hurt more,

645
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, like or something like that. It's otherwise. How

646
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: about this? How about this is an idea? How about this?

647
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: How about negative one for your first, negative two for

648
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: your second, negative three for your third. Okay, so the numbers, Yeah,

649
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it corresponds. I get that. Um.

650
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: You know. So I look at Blake Barrels and we can,

651
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: all I think, objectively say that last year is a

652
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: bad year for him. And he's a guy who turns

653
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: the ball over far too much. Um. He touchdown passes

654
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: tend to come as a result of him putting his

655
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: team in a bad situation early in ball games and

656
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: being forced to throw the football later. So I don't

657
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: know that any of that changes. Um. And so as

658
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: long as quarterback scoring is what it is, Blake Boardles

659
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: will do enough to be a top ten quarterback. And

660
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: we'll sit and we'll point and laugh and say you

661
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: he sucks. But at the end of the day, his

662
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: overall numbers will put him as a QB one. I

663
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: feel like you should make it so Aaron Rodgers interceptions

664
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: are worth negative fifty just to even up in that

665
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: the same it's the same rank rationale for having touchdown

666
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: passes four points, make all the quarterbacks even like now,

667
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: let let the good quarterbacks be good. And I like that.

668
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: I wish you could do like pick sixes count for

669
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: negative six That would be cool. Should be negative that

670
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: would be devastating for players like Portles. Yeah, which is,

671
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: by the way, which is fine. Yeah, No, I mean

672
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: it would make it makes sense. It's just be hilarious.

673
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: It would be absolutely awesome. Uh. Anyone anyone think that

674
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: Blake Portles actually might just completely and utterly fall off.

675
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance if he's that bad, and

676
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 1: when Kaepernick's are starting quarterback, how does he have any confidence?

677
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: The coaches are like, ideally we want Blake Bortles to

678
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: attempt zero pass, right, how can you have your quarterback

679
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: be confident going in the season? Sinks? I mean he's

680
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: got the weapons on the outside. Yeah, he's got a

681
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: weapons on there's talented wide receivers there. But I just

682
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 1: think if he completely and utterly falls off. I mean

683
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: there might there's gonna be whispers at at the midway

684
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: point as to whether or not Blake Bortles should start.

685
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, He's on I'm not touching

686
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles in fantasy this year. Zero, No way that

687
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: the issues he's had, the issues he's had in the past,

688
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: the way that team wants to shift to a run

689
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: heavy focus like which also to throw back to the

690
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: Leonard Forney thing, I really like Leonard Fournett is a player.

691
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: I just don't want to draft him in the second round.

692
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: But like, there's just too many red flags around Bortles

693
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: this year. Like when there are so many good deep

694
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: quarterbacks available in fantasy, you could get the Andy Dalton

695
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: bounce back and get Tyrod Taylor for free in draft.

696
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford falls into like the way late double digit

697
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: rounds too, and he'd be a serviceable player for sure.

698
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: Mariota Winston car like, no way what I touch Bortles. Chance.

699
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: I hear that, Hey, and you give us your take

700
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: on Cam Newton in um, I think kim Is you know,

701
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: I feel like we're not going to see great things

702
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: like you know that that season a couple of years ago.

703
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: I think Is is the outlier in his career. I

704
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a guy as we talked about,

705
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: he's not gonna run as much. I don't believe he's

706
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: consistently been a top five quarter fantasy quarterback. Yeah he has.

707
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: I worry one. I worry still about him kind of

708
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: recovering from shoulder shoulder surgery in the off seats. One.

709
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna run quite as much. Um.

710
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: You know, I just think you're gonna see kind of

711
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: depressed the numbers from him across the board, and he'll be,

712
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a fringe to be one, or

713
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: a nice situational guy. I just I think what we

714
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: saw him a couple of years ago is is definitely

715
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: the outlier. UM. And I think you know, if if

716
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: that's what you're expecting him to get back to, you're

717
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna be disappointed. This because of his because of his

718
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: name value. Uh. Cam Newton right now, in my mind anyway,

719
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: is being overdrafted. I agree with all the points that

720
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: you bring up that the fact that he this here's

721
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: a guy that's recovering from shoulder surgery to his throwing

722
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: arm Uh. And the fact that they want to at least,

723
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: you know, limit the number of runs, which is a

724
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: big time you know, as they've said in fantasy at

725
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: cheak code for or fantasy quarterbacks. I just I agree

726
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: with MG. I just think you know, his fantasy numbers

727
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: will be somewhat muted. Uh. I don't know if the

728
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: ceiling is there in my does anyone else feel like, Okay,

729
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: here's a guy that absolutely could be a top three guy. Again,

730
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: that's a problem because you're Alex brought up Matt Stafford,

731
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: who was it was. It was miserable last year living

732
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: through him, it was awful. But there is a much

733
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: higher ceiling for him where you could I could conceivably

734
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: picture him having a top five fantasy season. I don't

735
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: think Blake gets there. No, no, no, camd I'm like

736
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: cam Um. The one thing, it's that's right, that's right.

737
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean. The one thing though, is he's so dependent

738
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: on those rushing touchdowns. That's the one thing. It's like,

739
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: I just don't I just don't take that off the table. Well,

740
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: even like even if he gets it, it's it's too volatile,

741
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: Like it's it's too volatile. You can't really expect it

742
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: every week and similar to what Stafford was doing last year.

743
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, um in the comparison is Stafford was

744
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: having those games where he would only throw one touchdown.

745
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: But Stafford at least gives you a little bit with

746
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: the passing yards. Cam Newton could be very efficient and

747
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: very effective and throw for a hundred and eighty seven yards,

748
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: have a touchdown, maybe throw a pick. But if he

749
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: doesn't get the rushing yards for you, right, maybe he

750
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: has thirty rushing yards or something. But it's yeah, but

751
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: even will he get that, We're not sure. We're not sure.

752
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: As much as he says he wants to run, you

753
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: never know what's gonna happen. It's I just I just

754
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, with a guy

755
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: like Cam, like when he's in a situation where it

756
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: has to make a quick decision, he's going to rely

757
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: on his instincts. Yea, and his legs rightly been so phenomenal.

758
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: Even if he doesn't have as many rushing yards, the

759
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: bigger fact for him would be rushing touchdowns because standard scoring,

760
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: those are still six points and if they get to

761
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: the goal line, Cam might just call his own number

762
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: a couple of times where he scrambles and gets in

763
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: or he just does the Tom Brady plunge. And if

764
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: he if he with that gigantic frame, you pokes's head

765
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: into the end zone five different times. That's a lot

766
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: of point, a lot more points than a quarterback like

767
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: Phil Rivers or Matt Stafford and somebody else is not

768
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: gonna run his especially now with all the weapons they have,

769
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: the defense is going to have to pay attention elsewhere

770
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: other than Cam running up the middle at the goal line.

771
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: He was the QB seventeen last year, which surprised me.

772
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that he was that bad. Yeah, you

773
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying because he seems so fantasy relevant,

774
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: But really, when you think about a QB seven, he's

775
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: utterly irrelevant for fantasy purposes. I'm trying to look up

776
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: where he's getting drafted right now. So in twelve, in

777
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: twelve team leagues, he's being drafted in the top five,

778
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: right so the top one player. If you're in a

779
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: twelve team league, Uh, he's going at the end of

780
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: round seven, early round eight. If you're in a ten

781
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: team league, that's like, you know, round nine, round ten.

782
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: Territory so uh, in his same class, we're looking at

783
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: guys like Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger, and Jamis Winston. Dam

784
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: that's tough. Yeah, that is tough because it's like if

785
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: you're give you get to the tenth round and you're like,

786
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm ready to take a quarterback now and Russell Wilson.

787
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: Between those four guys, I think it would come down

788
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: to Wilson or cam For me, probably like Wilson a

789
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: little bit more. Yeah, I think I like Wilson Moore

790
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: because he can throw the deep ball. I just you

791
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: know what, though, But I've just had such bad luck

792
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: with him. I've had bad luck with quarterbacks a lot

793
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: of the time. Um, just the volatility seems to me.

794
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 1: I get it that he does have those rushing touchdowns

795
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: and it's great when it happens, and he's tough that

796
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: he really is tough to live with. Week to week

797
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: it big time. I'll say this, I like the week

798
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: to week upside, and I know it's gonna be super volatile.

799
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: Regarding Ben Roethlisberger, now, obviously when he goes down the road,

800
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: you kind of you might want to head your bets

801
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: a little bit. But uh, the fact that he gets

802
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: Mark Tavis Bryant back at least we think, at least

803
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: we hope um. And you know, if we could get

804
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: a full season of Levian Bill as well. I don't know, man,

805
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: I just I like the aditional upside of Ben Roethlisberger

806
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: if he's there. You know, if I could wait on

807
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 1: Big Ben, if I could get him in the tenth round,

808
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: I'll take. I'll take. All right. So we've beaten camera

809
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: Cam Newton into the and it's so sad because he's

810
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: he's such a love I'm such a huge fan of

811
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: his I love playing, but for fantasy purposes, I broke

812
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: up with them in fantasy I think a couple of

813
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: years ago. It's just it was just too much. Russell

814
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: Wilson's is another quarterback that is at least a bounce

815
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: back candidate. I'll direct you to the website NFL dot

816
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: com slash grant for you to find the analysis from MG.

817
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: But the overall view is that Russell Wilson should be

818
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: a top tennis quarterback. We'll go to the running back position,

819
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. I feel like we we've beaten into the

820
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: ground as well. Uh MG, you've got them predicted as

821
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: a top twenty five ish running back if I'm not,

822
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, miss um. Yeah, I mean there's just there's

823
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: still so much uncertainty and what the Rams want to

824
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: do with McVeigh. And you know, there's on the one hand,

825
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: you hear that maybe they're gonna use Todd Gurley more

826
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: in the passing game, but then you think, you know,

827
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: there's they're trying to find their West Coast version of

828
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson that may not be girly and s dunbar right,

829
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: So I don't know, there's there's just a lot of

830
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: uncertainty there on top of it. Can can they open

831
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: holes for him? Uh? Will he show the same confidence

832
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: he had his rookie year. There's there's just a lot

833
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: to to kind of figure out. Talk to me about

834
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller though you've got him projected, um and this

835
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: is a big number eight. Yeah, I mean I think,

836
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: I think, really maybe it's too simple to say that,

837
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, the change at quarterback is going to have

838
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: such a major impact, but I really do believe it.

839
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I really do believe that having somebody new

840
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: under center is going to change the complete outlook. I Mean,

841
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: you could just see by the end of last year,

842
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: the frustration you can see it with new Copkins. You

843
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: could see it all over that offense and frustration that

844
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: their quarterback couldn't move the offense, couldn't deliver the football,

845
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: and that impacted everything they did. At the same time,

846
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: Miller himself, I think kind of wore down. He got

847
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: that workload that so many of us had wanted him

848
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: to get when he was in Miami. It never really happened.

849
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: Um it happened last year, and by the end of

850
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: the year he looked like he was kind of worn down.

851
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: So I think they will help keep him fresh. With

852
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: Deante Foreman being there, he'll get some of that work there,

853
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: just to kind of keep Miller, you know, ready to go. Yeah,

854
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 1: I did say the eight touchdowns. My one fear though,

855
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: is that Foreman into being that goal line back and

856
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: maybe take some of those away from him. So that

857
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: certainly is a concern. But I just do think that

858
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: with a slightly lighter workload and hopefully a quarterback that

859
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: can take some of the pressure off of him, that

860
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: you'll start to see Lamar Miller be the guy that

861
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: we always hoped he could be. About this, I mean,

862
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: a total doesn't sound too bad, right, We're talking about

863
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: maybe five on the ground, three through the air. That's

864
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: that's possible. That that seems like a high total for me,

865
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: what could be a very low scoring offense. Once again,

866
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: he had six last year. Yeah, total exactly two more

867
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: you don't see two. They were like one of the

868
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: worst teams in the right. But I got a lot

869
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: of volume. But last year Hopkins is still in the mix.

870
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: They've got done to foreman like Deshaun Watson can run,

871
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: we will Fuller might learn to catch more, uh consistently,

872
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: So like there's there's there are options there. It just

873
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: feels like giving eight touchdowns to him on a potentially

874
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: low scoring offense, I feel like they're starting Tom Savage

875
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: or a rookie is questionable. To me, I think that's this.

876
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: I think it's a ceiling. I think I think MG

877
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: got the ceiling. Eight. That sounds like a ceiling to me.

878
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm scared of Lamar Miller this year though. How about

879
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill though last year at eighty nine rush yards

880
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: nine rushing TVs, that's crazy he finished as a top

881
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: twenty running back because in large part due to those

882
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: ground scores. Uh MG, your take on Jeremy Hill. If

883
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: I could paraphrase you, I think you said, Jeremy Hill

884
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: is dead. Yeah, you know what is dead may never die.

885
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: He's getting eight this year. This is a guy that's

886
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: gonna get He could really like fall forward into the

887
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: end zone like eight times this year. I just you know,

888
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: I think this is sooner rather than later, going to

889
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: become the Joe Mixon show. Hill is going to be

890
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: a roads pational back and you know, maybe maybe that's

891
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: what saves his value. That's sort of what saved his

892
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: value the last couple of years is being that guy

893
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: who finds his way into the end zone because he

894
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: hasn't really done much else of note since his rookie season.

895
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: If that continues, then he will still have, you know,

896
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: a monicum of fantasy value. But you know, at this point,

897
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: I think we've seen what he is the last couple

898
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: of years. And as much as the Bengals trying to

899
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: talk him up and say we're gonna make him a

900
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: big part of what we do, I'm just the performance

901
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: doesn't warrant that. Like I just I'm not buying it.

902
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 1: And I just, like I said, I think this becomes

903
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: the Joe Mixon show sooner rather than later. Alright, so

904
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: can we just use this opportunity to talk about the

905
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: fact that Joe Bernard is back on the field and

906
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: saying he looks amazing, can cuts and like speeding around

907
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: the field, which a week ago the story was Geo

908
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: is gonna miss the first few weeks of the season,

909
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he's back there doing things.

910
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: It's weird, like they bringing a guy who can do

911
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: everything that he can and was doing it really well

912
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: at a college level and suddenly he's healthiest and like that.

913
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: That just crowds the situation and even more. Yeah, it's

914
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: a good point. I want to say that I wouldna

915
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: give a shot what we're talking about Hill. Joe Goodberry

916
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: if you guys don't follow him on Twitter, is at

917
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: Joe Goodberry just like it sounds spelled exactly, it's bounds

918
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: sounds Joe very smart and Bengals writer, very close to

919
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: the team, has been doing a lot of stuff. He

920
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: projected the Bengals running backs, especially based on this Bernard

921
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: news for a hundred sixty five carries for mixing a

922
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty for g O and seventy five for Hill.

923
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: He thinks it's going to be a pretty clear committee

924
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: split from what he knows about the team and how

925
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: they have these backs and doing that stuff. Let's say,

926
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: let's say Joe Mixon gets you know, a hundred hundred

927
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: seventy carries. Yeah, is he worth it from a fantasy

928
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: perspective giving his price tag right now? Because he's going

929
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: and got like a round three a DP these days,

930
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. He's going in around three. Um,

931
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: it seems as if that would cap his value. No, Yeah,

932
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean I'd be concerned at that level, especially with

933
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, part of I think white people were getting

934
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: so hyper and mixing was we didn't know Bernard's health

935
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: status before training camp, and now he's coming back out

936
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: and balling around like. He's been a very good player

937
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: for this team, uh for the last several years, whether

938
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: it's been in a limited workload or a more featured

939
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: capacity years ago. So like, and they might not want

940
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: to saddle mix in with a ton of carries right

941
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: away as a rookie and risk like creating Jeremy Hill

942
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: two point out, not that they're the same player, but

943
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: that could be in the team's mind. So I don't

944
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: know this this We're gonna have to watch the split

945
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: in the preseason games and stuff. But this Bernard coming

946
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: back and somebody like Joe thinking that it could be

947
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: split like that has me concerned and vising at his

948
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: current ADP. Yeah, I would agree with that. Alright, Let's

949
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: go to the wide receiver position. Dez Bryant last year

950
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,959
Speaker 1: seven nine receiving yards. Despite that, despite that little yardage total,

951
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: still had eight receiving touchdowns, which is that's just bananas.

952
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 1: It's just bananas for a wide receiver to get eight

953
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown. I mean, and we're talking about Dez brighton

954
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: a low volume passing a day. It's just craziness. Uh

955
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: Top twenty wide receiver last year. Uh MG. Your takeaways

956
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: on his steen and what do you project? And my

957
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: biggest thing is that for Bez, he just he just

958
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: has to stay healthy and that the last couple of

959
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: seasons has sort of been an issue for him just

960
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: staying on the field. Um, and I think I feel

961
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: like that at least had some sort of impact on

962
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: the chemistry of working with Dak Prescott, just because he

963
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: physically wasn't there. And we saw Cole Beasley start to

964
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: get a larger targets share in that offense. Um. You know,

965
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: so I think that as long as those two were

966
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: together that back in Dez and get that work, then

967
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see Dez continue to get a

968
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: large share of the targets. We know, he just has

969
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: a nose for the end zone. He's shown that throughout

970
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: his career. UM. So it's really just a matter of

971
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: if if he can get back to that range. I

972
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: don't know that he gets back to the you know,

973
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty hundred and forty targets that he was

974
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: seeing when Tony Romo was the quarterback. It's a different

975
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: offense now. They're still going to be run heavy. You're

976
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: still gonna work Ezekiel Elliott so much into what they do.

977
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 1: But if if des can get back in the range

978
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: of you know, a hundred to a hundred and fifteen targets,

979
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: I think you start to see him get back at

980
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: least closer to that thousand yard mark. Even if he

981
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: doesn't get there, So he gets closer to thousand yards.

982
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: If he can still stay around eight to ten touchdowns

983
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: at you know, that's a pretty good output for elite

984
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: around the red zone. He's one of the best in

985
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: the league. I mean, like you said, Marcus, when he

986
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: was scoring all those touchdowns he has had in games

987
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: where he's put in his seasons. He's been in the

988
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: league for seven years, He's had five seasons with at

989
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: least played with playing at least thirteen games, and this

990
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: past one was his lowest touchdown total at eight. Otherwise

991
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: it was nine, twelve, thirteen, sixteen and his And when

992
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 1: you're looking at him for fantasy, he's a better standard

993
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: option because, like you said, his targets are going to depress.

994
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: He's never been a massive target guy. Like he's never

995
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: had a hundred receptions. No, he's ninety two and ninety

996
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: three were his highest even in a couple of those

997
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: years with Romo two thousand twelve only a hundred thirty

998
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: eight target, only a hundred thirty six. But because of

999
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: his scoring prowess, it makes him such a better option.

1000
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: And like the team will still turn to him around

1001
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: the red zone, like teams will you know, teams might

1002
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: stack it up to stop Zekielli and the DA let's

1003
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: go yep, just Bryant there he is right now, He's

1004
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: got an ADP in the late second round his you know,

1005
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: his comp in that area, t Y Hilton and Amari Cooper.

1006
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, given the Andrew Luck, given the

1007
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck news, uh, and given the fact that Amari

1008
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: Cooper still has Michael Grabdre there, you know, hogging up

1009
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: all those all those looks. Give me des Bryant all

1010
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: day long. Compared to those two guys, yeah, I gotta

1011
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: feel I feel the safest about him. Cooper probably has

1012
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: the highest ceiling of those guys. Yeah. Yeah, And if

1013
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: Luck is healthy for the first season, I'd probably take

1014
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: t Y first among them. But as things stand right now,

1015
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: I think is probably at the end of round two

1016
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: the one to grab their Yeah, people are taking but

1017
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin a little later, you know, they're taking them,

1018
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: you know, in that you know, mid third round, which

1019
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: is keep disrespected angry Doug. Folks like to jump back.

1020
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: We didn't really touch on Russell Wilson, but why I

1021
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: think he's great. I think I might have them the

1022
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 1: highest out of all of us. That among our quarterback

1023
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: rankings is that that offense has continued to gain more

1024
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: pass attempts. They finally figured out what to do with

1025
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham last year and we saw him return to

1026
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Graham of old and their backfield is just

1027
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: a mess right now. So what are they going to

1028
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: lean on when they need to win games? Are the

1029
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: arm of Russell Wilson. You also got Paul Richardson ascended

1030
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year, and Tyler Lockett, if he

1031
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: can return fully healthy, is another great weapon. That's all

1032
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: of a sudden, a loaded passing offense with a bunch

1033
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: of question marks in the backfield, like this could be

1034
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: a great season for Russell Wilson. We've hit on New

1035
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: Copkins a little bit and talking about Lamar Miller. The

1036
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: other player on MG's list would be Julius Thomas. But look,

1037
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: I hate to spoil it, but you know Julius Thomas

1038
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be way for wire fodder. So if you

1039
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: want to read the boiler alert, if you want to

1040
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: read the entire list, NFL dot com slash Grant. All right,

1041
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,479
Speaker 1: let's close out your show with a round of Daily

1042
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:50,399
Speaker 1: Depths Depth. Alright, Daily DAP time. We shall start with MG.

1043
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: My god, Marcus Grant, what's up? A couple of things.

1044
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: One I'm not gonna spoil it, but last night's episode

Speaker 1: of Game of Thrones. My goodness, lit um spoil it.

00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: spoil it, bro, I'm just gonna say that somebody died.

1048
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: I had no idea that episode is gonna be lit

1049
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: How dare you? The blonde chick died on an episode

1050
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: on a show built around terrible people doing terrible things

1051
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: to one another. This one, uh, featured a lot of

1052
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: terrible people doing the ultimately terrible things to to one another.

1053
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: Um with with one hell of a mic drop at

1054
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: the end of it, I'll say that I have a

1055
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: wedding and not have an open bar, right, exactly, exactly

1056
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: that was. That's what the red wedding is, right. The

1057
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: cash cash bar serves caps um. Also, I want to

1058
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: give daily DAP to a couple of coworkers. I did

1059
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: a little project that I put out over the weekend

1060
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,880

1084
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: give me a daily tap. Two quick ones. First daily

1085
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: tap to Sam Shepard actor and playwright. He passed away

1086
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: this more last night. Uh he was. He played Chuck

1087
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 1: Yeager in the movie The Right Stuff, which if you've

1088
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: if you've ever seen, is a phenomenal movie because it's

1089
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: all about that Mercury seven team, which is like John Glenn,

1090
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: Chuck Yeager, all these guys, some of the first guys

1091
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: to go into space, and just their total like cavalier, badass,

1092
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: like risk everything kind of attitude about advancing you know,

1093
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: America in the Space Program and stuff. It's a really

1094
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: great movie. Sam Shepherd's been in a ton of other

1095
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: great stuff. He was in Bloodline. I haven't watched Bloodline.

1096
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: He was in Black Hawk Down, and he was a

1097
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: um a playwright. He won the Peelitz Surprise in the

1098
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: late seventies for one of his plays. So a great

1099
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: talent and somebody who's probably underappreciated in the day and

1100
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: age of people who haven't watched as many old films.

1101
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: So go check out of stuff. And then, uh, David

1102
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: Depp number two because a book I'm reading, I think

1103
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: I might have shouted out a while ago, so I

1104
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: was just starting it, but I'm almost done now, and

1105
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 1: it's just such a fascinating and like heart wrenching book.

1106
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: It's called Evicted by Matt Desmond. And what it does

1107
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: is it it's a real life, it's real it's nonfiction.

1108
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: And uh this like Harvard professor um followed along kind

1109
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: of like eight different people in uh the inner city

1110
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee um at varying different like levels of poverty

1111
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: and just talked about how hard it is for those

1112
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: people in the housing market and the system and it's

1113
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: it's successes and failures and things like that. So it

1114
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: follows a woman who owns a bunch of properties, follows

1115
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: a couple impoverished families, some people that live in trailer

1116
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: parks and stuff like that. And it is just a

1117
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: it's a brutal, really enlightening read on something that you know,

1118
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: not many of us like no a ton about our

1119
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: experience and just how the system works and where it's

1120
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: success and failures are. So I would encourage everybody to

1121
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: go read it. It's a really really good book. There

1122
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: you go. I'll give a daily DAPs out to John Jones.

1123
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: Uh spoiler alert. Maybe I should have said spoiler before

1124
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: I said John Jones never it could have been his

1125
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: last fight, had a loss you could have said going

1126
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: out with a heroic loss and like pulling pulling a

1127
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: Rocky like from Rocky One, Like do we really have

1128
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 1: to start? It's a live sporting that's true. That's true. Thrones,

1129
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: it's almost a sporting event. The only reason I say

1130
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 1: that is because I myself never watch these fights live.

1131
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: I have to watch them delayed. I usually watch him

1132
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: the next day, and that's what happened with this fight. Um, anyways,

1133
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: saw it last night, but but yeah, man, it was

1134
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: um wow, what a performance by John Jones. And um,

1135
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of pressure was riding on

1136
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 1: his shoulders, but holy good god. He has been away

1137
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,959
Speaker 1: from the octagon forever and he came in and fought

1138
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: one of the best UFC fighters of all time and

1139
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: dismantled him, crushed him, crush. And it was crazy too

1140
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: because the broadcast team was trying to build up DC

1141
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 1: like hey, he's he's he's losing these rounds. But you know,

1142
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: he's he's, he's in the fight, and I'm like, yeah,

1143
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: but he's losing these rounds and then he got absolutely

1144
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: crushed by John and uh and and then afterwards too.

1145
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: I love the fact that John Jones called out brock Lessner.

1146
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: That is a fight. Hello, give me that fight. Doesn't.

1147
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: John Jones have two brothers in the NFL. He does

1148
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 1: Arthur Jones Channel. They all three of them went to

1149
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 1: high school in the town where I'm from, Binghamton High

1150
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 1: School in upstate New York. That's right, that's exactly home

1151
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: of the Rumble Ponies, right, Rumble Pies. Cool. I went

1152
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: to Vestal High School, which is like a town outside

1153
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: of Binghamton. The Binghamton was like one of our rivals.

1154
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: But you went to the rival high school outside of

1155
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 1: your city. What's up? You went to the rival high

1156
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: school outside of your city. No, it's hard to explain it.

1157
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 1: Binghamton High School was arrival to Vessel High School, which

1158
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: is where I went. But you were from binging Bingham

1159
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: I'm from another town called apple Aiken there, get all.

1160
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 1: I know. That's what That's why I but it was

1161
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: it was. It was kind of a claim to fame

1162
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: in the local newspaper. The Jones brothers. We're gonna have

1163
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: to we have to settle this on our X podcast,

1164
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 1: which is all about the Upstate New York school system.

1165
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff round. You have an open district

1166
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: because Toby Gerhardt, former JAG, actually lived in Corona but

1167
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: went to Norca, which would have been arrival to a

1168
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: couple of the Corona schools. And you didn't appreciate that

1169
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: I didn't carry. Wouldn't that good? We beat him? All right?

1170
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: His MC candidate wasn't that good? Apparently? Okay, Alex Gillhard

00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: give me. I already gave you the franchise. We beat him.

1179
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: a suspect in a crime in I believe San Diego

1180
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: County somewhere. I was to this police sketch of this

1181
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: suspect who looks exactly like me. San Diego sheriff tweeted

1182
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: this out and said, have you seen this person? And

1183
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: I said, I'd better get inside as soon as possible

1184
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: because if the cops see me, they're going to arrest me.

1185
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: I called the cops, I said, apparently. I followed up

1186
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: there was an arrest made in the case. But how

1187
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,520

1210
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: and started going to Angel games and has become a

1211
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: huge fan. And then a couple of weeks ago, I

1212
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: actually think it was last week, the last homestand Trout

1213
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: piped a home run that he caught, and you know,

1214
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: he like his expression, like he was so excited, just

1215
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: pure joy. And so the Angels sought him out, like

1216
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: who is this guy? Like he's sitting by himself, and

1217
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: he says, you know, like very enthusiastic about the Angels

1218
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: and and he's this young man who's gonna be going

1219
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: to college in the fall in Great Britain. And so

1220
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks he's been traveling just

1221
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: watching the Angels. He went to Cleveland, saw him there,

1222
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: went to Toronto and on Sunday he was throwing batting

1223
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: practice and was fielding. You know, Yeah, it's like a

1224
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: real cool story, and everybody is uh uh following him

1225
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter now. His Twitter handles super I don't even

1226
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: it's at C E R T e k K S.

1227
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: If you're an Angels fan, you should follow him because

1228
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: you know he's part of the family now. And so

1229
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: I think that's cool. You know, the C Baseball kind

1230
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: of growing with a little bit of an international but

1231
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, it is a global game for sure. It

1232
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: draws fans from around the world, so that's one of

1233
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: the neat things about it. So I appreciated watching him,

1234
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: although I did tell him, I'm like, bro, you can

1235
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: never go on the field again, because that loss on

1236
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: Sunday was absolutely horrific. He was it all comes back,

1237
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: but he was actually, yeah, he was actually one of

1238
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: the ones who made me feel it better about life.

1239
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, guys, we had a we had a

1240
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: tough loss, but encourage these guys. We took the series.

1241
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, you, little son of a gun, Yes, you're right, Fine, fine, fine,

1242
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: we'll flush it and move forward and see if we

1243
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: can't get back into the race. Um, and I know

1244
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: everybody I think it's uh daft dun kirk at some point,

1245
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: not me over the last Well, you have your work

1246
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 1: cut out for you on Thursday for the next couple

1247
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: of days. Because I did see it. Um, I don't

1248
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: particularly like warm movies, but my niece really wanted to

1249
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: see it, and I was like, listen, she loves She

1250
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: wanted to see it really bad. You know what's funny, Like,

1251
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: if you've seen dun Kirk, it's about spoil well, it's

1252
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a true story, so I'm not

1253
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: spoiling anything. It's about a bunch of people drowning. My

1254
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: niece almost drowned a couple of weeks ago. I'm like,

1255
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: why did you want to go see this movie? I

1256
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: was just like and I'm like, I'm sorry that She's

1257
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: like I knew what the movie was about. I still

1258
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: wanted to go see it and everything I'm behind like

1259
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But it was really well done. I'm

1260
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: actually surprised because I went to Rotten Tomatoes or one

1261
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: of those to see, Like, I can't believe how well

1262
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: reviewed it is because it's a great movie. But Christopher

1263
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: Nolan doesn't hold your hand through it because there's not

1264
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: a lot of emphasis on uh dialogue. Dialogue. Really, you

1265
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: really have to be invested in paying attention to understand

1266
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: what's going on. And if I know anything about movie audiences,

1267
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: that's not what they're about. They don't like that at all,

1268
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: So I'm surprised. So I guess the critics like, did

1269
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: I do? Maybe the general audiences don't. But it was

1270
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: really well done. I would never see it again, but

1271
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: it was really well done. I just don't like war movies.

1272
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: I was jumping the whole time. Anytime there's fire. Yeah,

1273
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, not comfortable, but it was good. I was.

1274
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: I thought there was well done. All right, there you go.

1275
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: So that's the show. We got the hard Family. Wow,

1276
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,240
