3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: episode hiatus I was suspended one episode. I wasn't sure why.

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: I think I was. I think I may have missed

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: the team, but maybe I came in overweight. Coaches decision.

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,800

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: the other guys like that. It's true, you know. You

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: combine that with the weight issues that I've had. Um,

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,120

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: But we've got a big show in front of us

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,120

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I have sixteen spots. Yes, and then

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: I think we filled two spots last week. So we

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,240

50
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: All right, let's do a top news then the camera

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: highlights in the world of sports, breaking, breaking news, breaking

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: the continue to follow breaking news, your wife? How about

53
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: in Denver, Davante Booker is getting first team reps after

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: c J Anderson, but ahead of Ronnie Hillman that, according

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: to Broncos reporter Mike Cliss, one of the best in

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: the business of k U s A. What do we

57
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: make of the news, gentleman? I mean, doesn't surprise me,

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, and it basically helps me with my c J.

59
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Anderson narrative. What's the c J. Anderson that he's going

60
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: to be good. But it doesn't because, I mean, here's

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: think Devonte Booker out of Utah. Everyone says he's gonna

62
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: be a great fit for this one cut uh scheme,

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: zone blocking scheme there in Denver. It doesn't scare you

64
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. Maybe possibly, Okay, you know, I still

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: think he's the better I think I think DeVante Booker

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: is maybe the future in the backfield there in Denver,

67
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: but I don't think that future comes this year. But

68
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: I did believe that he was going to surpass Ronnie

69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Hillman on the depth chart. That doesn't that doesn't surprise.

70
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: I think that's but you know, I mean, I look,

71
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: I think we'll see Booker this year. We'll see it

72
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: maybe in some third down situations. We'll see him when

73
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: they want to give C. J. Anderson arrest. But I

74
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: think this is Anderson's backfield unless he somehow, you know,

75
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: as he gets her, or somehow miraculously underperformed. But I'm

76
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: not expecting that. They asked Davante Booker what's up at

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: the Rookie Symposium, and he said something along the lines

78
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: of listen man I'm not here to carry nobody's pads.

79
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm here to take somebody's job, as does anybody. Anybody

80
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: worried about c J. Anderson a little bit here? No,

81
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: not really. I worry about c. J. Anderson only because

82
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: I think the offense could just be really, really bad

83
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: and that would limit his scoring opportunities if the quarterback

84
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: position is a train wreck, and it very well could be,

85
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: and for that reason alone, I'm probably not interested in

86
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: drafting DeVante Booker at all, even if he's the theoretical

87
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: backup as as a handcuff. Okay, there you go. We'll

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: move on to Buffalo. Carlos Williams back practicing. Still banned

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: four games f y I, but he is practicing. Showed

90
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: up to camp twenty pounds overweight because he was empathy

91
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: eating with his preger's wife. Coach Rex Ryan said the

92
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: team isn't giving up on him after rumors circulated that

93
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: Carlos Williams could be cut. He's also facing a four

94
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: game suspension. Is facing a four game He's still banned

95
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: those four games, but he's back practicing. Does this mean anything?

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: Not yet. I think it's just encouraging that we know

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: we Sabody could do. Last year unlimited reps, he had

98
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: over five hundred yards and seven touchdowns on less than

99
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: a hundred carries. I'm pretty sure. And he had a

100
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: lot of explosive plays there. I remember looking this offseason

101
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: of running backs, if he had had a hundred carries,

102
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: he would have had the highest percentage of those carries

103
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: go for ten plus yards last year among running backs

104
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: to hit that threshold. But you know this is the

105
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Sean McCoy's backfield. All reports that he's looking great. Carlos

106
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: Williams is just going to be a name to have,

107
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: as we say on speed dial, if McCoy does get

108
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: injured after his suspension is up, after his and after

109
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: he drops the empathy pregnancy. Wait, that is what he

110
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: told No, I mean as a father, I'm the only

111
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm the only person here, yea, as the resident dad

112
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: of the except of except theoretically, you know, as the

113
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: only don't have a child. But you are very much

114
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: a dad. I do have a lot of dad like tendencies.

115
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: A lot. Well, yeah, I thought I thought Franciskovitch was

116
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: dad checked. Now he's just he's just old. Actually he's

117
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: just old. Galhard just has very dad like tendencies like

118
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: and believe me, as the person that lives with him,

119
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: get a lot of the it's like, honestly, it is

120
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: like letting with my father again. Hey, don't forget to

121
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: lock your doors. Don't forget to do this anyways. My point,

122
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: my point being though, is that a thing like you

123
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: actually gain pregnancy weight sympathy weight when you're when you're

124
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: when your lady is pregnant. I think it's here's the problem, right, Like,

125
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, you want to eat right and do all

126
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: those kind of things, but uh and also like go

127
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: to the gym, but you can't really you do less

128
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: of those things when your wife is pregnant because first

129
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: of all, she's asking for Look, here's the thing man,

134
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: for the baby. Don't like my wife just yeah, I

135
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: mean she never listened podcast and she's not gonna never

136
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: ever know about this, but she was crushing del Taco

137
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: on the regular. I mean, just so was I for

138
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: a while, but I wouldn't. But we have set the

139
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: record for the earliest this podcast is officially gone off.

140
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: She was destroying it to the point where, um, I

141
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: would get into the car and I would see like

142
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: a it was Del Taco and Taco Bell. She just

143
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: has a thing for fast food, Mexican food. I don't

144
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: know why. Um. And I would get into the car

145
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: and I'd see like an empty um you know cup

146
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: Taco Bell cup. And I'd be like, babe, like why

147
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: are you She's like, don't judge me, and and so

148
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: that's things. So when she's asking, hey, she's like, hey, hon,

149
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: can you go get some Del Taco. Well, you're not

150
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna just go get Del Taco for her, You're gonna

151
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: get Del Taco for yourself. That's what happens. I just

152
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: thought this was pertinent information to discuss in case maybe

153
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: we need to be on like baby Wash in the future.

154
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Like so whenever a player announced that ian, do we

155
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: know what harm you're gonna be writing those columns now

156
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: because of this man? All right, let's move on. Alright, fine, Uh,

157
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Corliss signed to Detroit. He's facing a two game

158
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: suspension the league suspended him after he was sentenced to

159
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: probation for firing a gun into the air after he

160
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: had an argument with a woman outside of a nightclub

161
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: back in July of If you're wondering why Data would

162
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: sign Andrew Corless despite having a two game suspension looming,

163
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron hurt with a pretty bad ankle injury. Brandon

164
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Pettigrew still on the pup recovering from an a C

165
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: L tear. Also Brandon Pettigrew also number one tight end

166
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: right now. I believe it's Matthew Mulligan who has been

167
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: a journeyman like blocking tight end. Is that a real name,

168
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: It's a real name. He's been off, he's been a Patriot,

169
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: a packer, among others. But that's why they signed Corless.

170
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody should be concerned about Corless. Matthew

171
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: Mulligan's a real name, Yes, a real person. That is fabulous.

172
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: This this guy cole Wick I think caught a pass

173
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: in the preseason game against draft boards. But he's like,

174
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: he's like fourth on the depth charts. All right, let's

175
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: let's talk about some injuries. I don't think Andrew corliss

176
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: uh yeah, not fantasy relevant. Okay, we're moving on. How

177
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: about in Cleveland, Josh Gordon had that quad injury. He

178
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: returned to practice today Monday, activated off of the non

179
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: football injury list. It's his first practice since Week seventeen

180
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: of fourteen. He's been away from the game for twenty months.

181
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: He told reporters today though quote, I'm definitely the same guy,

182
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: referring to his self where he had six hundred yards

183
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: and nine touchdowns. All right, don't make an idiot of

184
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: comment now, Matt Harmon. Uh, you also missed the culture.

185
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: He was super psyched to be a part of a

186
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: team culture that he's really never experienced before with the

187
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson. Yeah, okay, Well, look it's encouraging that Gordon

188
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: and Ellie had returned back to practice. Uh. We need

189
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: to just you only need to monitor the injuries, especially

190
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: with Ellie with the hamstring. But if healthy, he's going

191
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: to take that huge load and down. It's the thing

192
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: about Accord and whether he's healthy or not right now

193
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: is he's not in football shape and it's going to

194
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: take some time for him to get I don't know

195
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: if he's in shape period, right he's not. I think, Uh,

196
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson already came out and said he's not going

197
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: to play in the Brown second preseason games, so we're

198
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: gonna have to wait a little while to see him

199
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: like actually catching in a game. Yeah. Uh one that

200
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: James was on the updated rundown. I know you're operating

201
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: off your phone right now. Actually might have just put

202
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: it on. My email was pulled up. Yeah, at practice,

203
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: we need to talk about him. Yeah, Gronk left practice.

204
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: He grabbed apparently grabbed his leg. I think, if I

205
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: read the reports correctly, he was car off. Uh. I

206
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: thought he walked off owners on power. I thought was

207
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: what I saw. Maybe he just ended up on the

208
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: trainer's cartin is dead. Oh man, wow, this is I

209
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: know it's it's it's it's progressed. Very que now he

210
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: just pulled up and walked off with the trainer. But

211
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: it's concerning. Not good because during his injury history not great,

212
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: Bob yep is just the part where I can say,

213
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan, Chris absolutely, yeah, say I want to see

214
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: mac at mad Chris Hogan, Chris Hogan forever. I mean,

215
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: Malcolm Mitchell had a gnarly dislocated elbow and and it's

216
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: already back in doesn't matter. Elbows disconnected, um narrative, this

217
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: is it's his elbows disconnected it you know, it means

218
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: it's just it's a trick elbow. Now it's going to

219
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: pop out randomly, which means this is going to open

220
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: the door for Chris Hogan. Okay, this show already saw. Yeah.

221
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: This is the tweet from Mike Reese, who is a

222
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: beat reporter there for ESPN following the Patriots. One of

223
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: the best, one of the best, absolutely no question about it.

224
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: Patriots side and Rob Gronkowski left today's practice after pulling

225
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: up while attempting to catch a Tom Brady pass uh

226
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: on the sideline. I think it's what he's saying during

227
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: a seven on seven drill. Again something we'll just keep

228
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: a close eye on the Patriots. Not great regarding giving

229
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: you updates on injuries, so we'll see that. We'll see

230
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: what happens there. But but again, Rob Gronkowski did leave

231
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: today's practice uh pulling up. The one note about that

232
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: is if he is to miss any time, this could

233
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: help Martella's Bennett's draft stock correct to probably be where

234
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: it should be. He's going a little bit later than

235
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: I think he should in those offenses. He was been

236
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: targeted a fair amount by those guys, and you know,

237
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: if they do revert back to running two more two

238
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: tight end such sets, excuse me, which they did back

239
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: in the day with Grant and Aaron Hernandez, he could

240
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: have a pretty big role. And the depth at wide receiver,

241
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: I mean, Marcus is Chris Hogan Love notwithstanding isn't great

242
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: with a lot of guys that have been injured, and

243
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: Edelman's already been nicked up this preseason. Amondola's kind of

244
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: Mr Glass. So Martella Bennett should be a name to

245
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: circle to watch through all of this as Grunt gets

246
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: healthier and this Patriots offense materializes towards the regular season.

247
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: And not only that, at least in the first four weeks,

248
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, at least what we saw in this first

249
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: preseason game. I want to say he I don't want

250
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: to say he favors um. Uh where am I going here?

251
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: Bennett Bennett? I was like al Sean Jeffrey, No, that's

252
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: the wrong Chicago Beart. Uh. It's not that he necessarily

253
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: favors Bennett, but I think you're gonna see a healthy

254
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: mix even if Gronk is healthy. I think I think

255
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: you're going to see a healthy mix of Bennett and

256
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: Gronk a purely tactical standpoint, if people are double teaming

257
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: Gronk Bennetts six ft eight and he's a very good

258
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: athletes going to be a mismatch for most of the

259
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: people that line up against him. How about zekeel all

260
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: right there in Dallas, h he had a hamstring injury.

261
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: He did return to practice. Good news for Zeke Elliott's

262
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: anything we should take beyond just the surface level reports

263
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: of him returning to practice. I think the thing that

264
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: I that I took away from him not being there

265
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: watching the Cowboys over the weekend is that if you're

266
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: looking for a handcuff, it's out for Moors. I mean,

267
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: he's the guy now that you mean, he's the guy

268
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: who got a lot of work and looked fairly good, uh,

269
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: you know against the Rams on Saturday. So if you

270
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: are looking for a handcuff in that backfield, then Alphie

271
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: is the way to go. Isn't it crazy? Because it's

272
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: a waste of time? Okay, Uh isn't it crazy? How

273
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden racked up four hundred total yards and now

274
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: he's just I mean scrapp heat material right now. Well crazy,

275
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: didn't he break his arm or something earlier? This? Yeah,

276
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: did something? Drop dropped his iPhone and try to catch

277
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: it and then he did and went Darren McFadden all right.

278
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: Uh oh, By the way, in Green Bay, Jeff Janice

279
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: expected to miss four to six weeks, just cancel the

280
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: rest of the preseason after he had screws I don't

281
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: want to live in this foot into the bones around

282
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: his index finger. That According to pat Tom Silverstein, there

283
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: was a walker on the rundowns because I didn't want

284
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,359
Speaker 1: to cry today, James, I'm just kidding. It ruined it.

285
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: It's disappointing. But Jans already shaping up to be a

286
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: long shot to actually win that number three job. From

287
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: all the reports, he'll make the team as a a

288
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: special teamer because he's a great gunner and things like that.

289
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: But do you think he might just not make the

290
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: team though he's on special teams and and I'm not

291
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm not questioning your your breakdowns of special teams here,

292
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: but is he so elite that they can't just you know,

293
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: cut him and potentially throw somebody else in there? And

294
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: I say this only only sounds exactly like you're questioning

295
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: his special team. Really, I wasn't sure, but I'm just saying,

296
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: like if he if he was to get caught by

297
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: by the Packers, because I think there's just some players

298
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: that don't fit with what a quarterback wants. And I

299
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear that Janice and Rogers don't give

300
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: well together, that he's somebody that could make an impact

301
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: on a different team with maybe more of a loose quarterback. Potentially,

302
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: we'll have to we'll have to see how it all

303
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: plays out. But I just know they like, they like

304
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: him there, and they've been trying to develop him. And

305
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: while he and Rodgers aren't on the same page, the

306
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: fact that Rogers always goes over and still tries to

307
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: talk to him and get him on that same page,

308
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: I think speaks for something. Yeah, I just wanted to

309
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: throw them that little disaster scenario. That's fair. Why are

310
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: you just what you're trying to ruin Gil Has I'm not, no,

311
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm not. I just I just think it's something worth

312
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: worth floating out there, that he's like probably already the

313
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: fifth receiver or something and he's hurt. We spent way

314
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: too much time to talking about Jeff. Let's get to

315
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: the preseason week one take ways. How about Lamar Miller

316
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: and Carlos Hide. Lamart below, I thought looked pretty good.

317
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: He only got four carries, but Lemon act up about

318
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: third yards with them. Yeah, and it's just the kind

319
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: of case swear. And we were talking about this damn

320
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: check downstairs earlier today. You don't want to overrate quarterback

321
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: play in the preseason because it's so tough to judge

322
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: against them running vanilla schemes and against vanilla schemes. But

323
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: if brock Oswila remains a bit erratic under center for

324
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: the Texans, they're going to need to lean on Lamar

325
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: Miller as a workhorse, both in the passing game and

326
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: rushing games. So I I'm I wasn't concerned about Lamar

327
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: Miller before, but I'm getting even more excited now. Okay,

328
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: how about Carlos Hide. I don't e look good. I

329
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: mean again, kind of limited action there. And I will

330
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: say that overall, I mean, I think specifically Hide looked good,

331
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: but overall, I marks on the offense there are a

332
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: lot of question marks. But I thought they moved the

333
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: ball effectively at times that much more so with fad

334
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: Lewis than would blame Gabbett, which r I p fad

335
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: Lewis now that he's out for the year. But but

336
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: I I thought, at least from some of the principles

337
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: that you saw in the offense and some of the

338
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: scheme fundamentals, you know, maybe maybe my bitterness I've allowed

339
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: my bitterness to get the best of me. There you go.

340
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm still not on board with the Bruce Ellington hype,

341
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: but I will admit that I think maybe maybe there's

342
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: a little something more to this offense then I originally thought.

343
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon shaking his head and rolling his eyes. Well,

344
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: you know what I thought was interesting about the preseason

345
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: and Carlos Hide in particular, was that he got two

346
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: targets on the first drive. And that was probably the

347
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: biggest question with him, like because we've certainly never seen

348
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: him be a pass catcher, but you know, there are

349
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there and say, well, he

350
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: still can catch passes, and so that's that was nice

351
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: to see. I mean, I know drawn got some work

352
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: on the second series, I think it was, but Gabbert

353
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: missed him, missed Hyde horrible. Gabert looked not good. Surprisingly,

354
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: those were like right out of surprisingly, surprisingly, Gabert did

355
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: not look good. And that's the thing about this offense,

356
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, is I've been kind of one of the

357
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: hype bands of this offense, this Niners offense. Well, I

358
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: just think it's more like this offense is still not

359
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: going to be good. It's not going to be efficient,

360
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: but they're just going to run a lot of plays

361
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: and especially throw a lot and if hide is part

362
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: of that passing game, that's an even bigger boost is suck.

363
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: And my boy Vance McDonald got a nice touchdown there,

364
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: ye shot after after the catchability that guy right out

365
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: of his shoes there, boom vans McDonald later tight round,

366
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: tight end, a tardy. He his ADP is non existent

367
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: right now because he's very drafted. So you're right. How

368
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: about there in Tennessee, Derrick Henry DeMarco Murray, they both

369
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: looked pretty good. Yes, they don't care. Wo Marco Murray

370
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: looked good last preseason two. Yeah, And like I think,

371
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: what what we should take away from them? Essentially carving

372
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: up the charges that the Charges still are not going

373
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: to have a good defense. They were football Outsiders thirty

374
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: first ranked run defense last year they were, and they

375
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: were awful again in the preseason. I mean that one

376
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: of those Derrick Henry touch or like long runs his touchdown,

377
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: was it his touchdown or one of his one of

378
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: his first couple of runs. I mean, they just can't

379
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: set the edge at all. And the fact that they're,

380
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, bickering with their third overall pick this year,

381
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be a big run defender not good.

382
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: That was the biggest thing is like, um, Henry looked good,

383
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: but he was getting the edge way too easily for

384
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: a guy of his size, which if you read Graham

385
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: Barfield's Yards Created series, he points out that like, even

386
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: though Murray Henry is like a big banger guy, he's

387
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: much better running on the outside like that, because when

388
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: he gets a lane, it's just like, oh my god,

389
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: how do you stopped that? Exactly? Um? Can I just

390
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: give props here? And maybe it's daily deps, but I

391
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: just want to say it's interesting, right because Matt Harmon

392
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: wrote a truth or Peace on Terence West and then

393
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: the franchise also the same week wrote a truth or

394
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: piece on Christian Michael and they both and they both

395
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: played well. Solent were Now we're nail in the preseason

396
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: right now. Man, Oh my gosh, um, I feel like

397
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: we should call Franchise fox Molder the fox Molder because

398
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: I found the truth. He has found the truth, the

399
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: truth that That was the opening line of your peace.

400
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: I said, the truth is out there, and the truth

401
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: I missed today is to prove it is. And I did.

402
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: You wrote you? You wrote a great piece. By the way,

403
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: you can find these pieces on NFL dot com slash Fantasy,

404
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: slash Harmon and slash Franchise, respectively. But Franchise, you were

405
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: basically live tweeting the Chris performance. So why don't you

406
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: know your breakdown? So before before the game started, our

407
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: social network guy Bruce Rice was at this game, I believe,

408
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: and he tweeted a photo of Michael like warming up

409
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: um at Harmon and Harmon added me to the chain

410
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: and the first thing we all noticed was that he

411
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: had a senior on his journey, Michael Senior around the

412
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: NFL's Chris Wesley at times he's so freaking mature, He's

413
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: got a senior on the early signs of maturity. He's

414
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: now Michael Senior. So that got me hyped. And then

415
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes before kickoff, I tweeted out, I'm

416
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: waiting to fire off Christine. Michael hypes like added a

417
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 1: Kermit the Frog gift, going crazy on a typewriter, and

418
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: then they out of the gate. Russell Wilson passed a

419
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: few times, handed off to Michael and he he had Oh,

420
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: he looked good. Four of his seven or eight runs

421
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: went for eight or more yards or something. I thought

422
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: he was emerging from piles. He had a one run

423
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: to the outside. Yeah, he showed off speed when he

424
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: when he was able to get to the outside, but

425
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: then also when he was inside the power and the

426
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: burst and good vision. Good vision too. And my the

427
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: article I wrote about him talks about how the physical

428
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: aspect has never been the problem for him, which when

429
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: all these beat writers have been saying it's never been

430
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: a question of his physical ability. It's always been his

431
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: maturity level and understanding of the playbook. And how seriously

432
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: he's taking being a professional football player, and now that

433
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: he's Michael SR. It's clearly taking it more seriously. And

434
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: he was interviewed after the game, and the quotes that

435
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: he said kind of reflected that he's he's serious about

436
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: it this year, and Carol hinted that it could be

437
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: a one to punch after the game. And that's my

438
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: big takeaways that all you've done is doom as to

439
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: another committee because you know we Alls will be back.

440
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: Are Alls already working back. You have Michael who may

441
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: get some work, and then you know franchise old boy C. J.

442
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: Procisse is gonna have to work in here. Something process

443
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: is healthy again, so he'll be back into practice. The

444
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: PPR guilt. Can you name me a backfield there? Can

445
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: you name me five backfields that are not committees at

446
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: this point? Probably Vikings, Texans, Packers, Chiefs, Packers, Saints, Chiefs,

447
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs might be a committee. They're they're gonna give it

448
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: to Jamal Charles I Spencer. Where's the goal one? Cowboys Panthers,

449
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: Panthers Cowboys, Oh yeah, Cam Newton's and Panthers running back?

450
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: All right? Melvin Gordon ended his touchdown drought. I don't

451
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: know if you guys saw this doesn't count. I know,

452
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: but it's still he got in there. What I liked

453
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: about it was it was on like a screen pass.

454
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: He jerked somebody, he blew past somebody and then he

455
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: just steamrolled Rashad Johnson on the way into the end zone.

456
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: Was did not give any fs, didn't care about his

457
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: own well being, which is a good sign for a

458
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: guy coming off micro frash surgery. That's I was so

459
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: surprised by how explosive he actually looked, Yes, coming off

460
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: of this surgery too, which I mean, it's it makes

461
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: sense because you remember, you know, months ago on this

462
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: podcast we talked about how they said it was like

463
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: the most minimally invasive microfracture you could have. He had

464
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: a quick timetable for recovery. So to see that bear

465
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: out on the field was very encouraging to me. They

466
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: gave him a lot of a lot of work there

467
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: early too, and he was he was driving into the

468
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: pack full force. You know, I think he had four

469
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: or five carries there. What's his ADP right now? Around seven?

470
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: Good after After you see this performance, you've gotta feel better,

471
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot better about getting him in that one. I

472
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: don't know if you feel I don't know if it's

473
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: going to move his price up, but I think it's

474
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: solidifies where he's at in that seventh or eighth round. No,

475
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: he's a good running back to target where things get

476
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: murky when you get to get to you know, the

477
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewarts and Jeremy Lankford's and Matt Joneses of the

478
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: world with Gordon showing up that well and what should

479
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: be a much better offense. Seeing a performance like this

480
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: makes me feel little bit better about there you go.

481
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you. All right, let'start about n let's do it.

482
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Bears. Uh. What do we make

483
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: in the backfield? Oh god, what a mess? Uh? Jeremy Lankford.

484
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: Lankford's the guy you want in fantasy. But there's no

485
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard did. I didn't watch I didn't watch much

486
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: of the Bears off it was so bad, but like

487
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: it was bad. Yeah, it was bad. So give me

488
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: the talk to me like I'm an idiot, give me,

489
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: give me like the rundown, Like why is this so bad?

490
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Like Harmon, who is an idiot? Great? Yeah, I saw

491
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: you telegraphing. It's okay. I felt like I felt like

492
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback play was very inconsistent. Look, man, they got

493
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: sacked a lot. The offensive line was just a mess. Uh.

494
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: You know. The the other thing I thought about the

495
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: Bears too. That really does not bode well for their

496
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: backfield at all is the fact that I think their

497
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: defense looks garbo. Yeah, I mean it looks bad, really

498
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: really bad. Um if they're playing from behind quite a bit.

499
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just you know, again, how how

500
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: many dump offs can possibly you know, be divvied about.

501
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: I just don't know. So for me, I'm just like

502
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: this backfield, yeah, I mean, I don't. I don't think

503
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: it's any different though than what we've been talking about

504
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: since about in March. I mean, you know from the beginning,

505
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: and we've said, we've all said this repeatedly that the

506
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: Bears have just put it on Front Street that they're

507
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: going to run a committee here and nothing I have

508
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: seen so far it seems to suggest otherwise. Hey, you know,

509
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: you know what, I will say, this just kind of

510
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: building upon the the Chicago Bears bad defense. It makes

511
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: me feel honestly, it makes me feel a lot better

512
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: about guys like Alshon, Jeffrey, Kevin White, and Zach Miller.

513
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: I think again, we're going to see a situation like

514
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: we saw with the Jaguars last year, who had a

515
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: horrendous defense last year. Um that when you have bad

516
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: defenses like this, you gotta start, you know, when they

517
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: start slinging the rock in the third and fourth quarter.

518
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: I mean, good things happen from and you have a

519
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: turnover prone quarterback. Although Cutler had a pretty efficient year

520
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: last year with sp Nation posted this this statu on

521
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: an article recapping that Bears game. The Bears allowed more

522
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: sacks than they picked up first downs. That so yeah,

523
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: the backfield, what's what's concerning to me too? I think,

524
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: like you said, French Langford is the guy to own,

525
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: but ja Quiz Rodgers got in early codean carey, still

526
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: getting work. We saw him get work last year. So

527
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: outside of Jeremy Langford, I'm not feeling as great about

528
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: taking you know, a super late round shot on Jordan

529
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: Howard or anybody else's goal line back. I'm this is

530
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: just gonna we have to have to be a situation

531
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: that we monitor in the season and see who if

532
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: anyone emerges outside of lane, where's Langford going? Right? Like

533
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: he's going eight, eighth round, fifth round, I don't know

534
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 1: he it goes so very so widely because like an

535
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: MFL tends, you can get him in the eighth round.

536
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: Button especially like in more probably sharper leagues, but like

537
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: I know, his ADP on Fantasy football calculators still like yeah,

538
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: crazy early fifth round, but it's it's dropping though, yeah,

539
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: and like that's untouchable. But if he gets to the

540
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: eighth round range, I'm fine taking it a stab on

541
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: him because we do, like we saw, he has big

542
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: Kame potential if he gets touches. All right, there you go.

543
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: What about Kevin White? Like him, don't like him? I'm

544
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: can you dos seven touchdowns? I'm cautiously optimistic about Kevin White,

545
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: maybe because I drafted him in Dynasty last year and

546
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for him to come back and play.

547
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: But um no, but I think, but I thought. I

548
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: do think it goes back to what you were just

549
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: saying about how the Bears could be forced to throw

550
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: the ball a lot, especially latent ball games, and like,

551
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: let's face it, he's a big athletic receiver. Now Alshan

552
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: Jeffrey will own the majority of or at least a

553
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: plurality of the targets there. But I do think Kevin

554
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: White can be a playmaker in that offense. So you know,

555
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: I I I think if you're getting him at a

556
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: late round price. Oh for sure, as you know, as

557
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: as your fifth right wide receiver or you know, or

558
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: more than I think you have the potential to have

559
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: kind of a sleeper gym on your hands with your

560
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: scoffed when I said a thousand and seven, I just

561
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: don't know that there's going to be that type of

562
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: volume for him in the offense, with the amount of

563
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: passes that are going to go to the backfield that

564
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: are going to go towards Alshon Jeffrey, and that are

565
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: gonna go towards Zach Miller, who has a rapport with

566
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: Cutler more so than White does, and Cutler has a

567
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: history of throwing to his tight ends. I think a

568
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: thousand yards is going to be a tough ceiling for

569
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: him to break. I would more figure he's in like

570
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: that eight range. How many passing yards do you think

571
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler will have this year? Shrug emoji. I don't know.

572
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: Four thousand, Probably he gets about four thousands. It's almost

573
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: it's hard not to get the four thousand passing yards

574
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: into in this league. Yeah, no, no no, I agree, And

575
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: for that reason, I think I think you're I mean,

576
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: here's the thing I think Kevin White's got the at

577
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: least the athletic profile, and again there's nobody pushing him. No,

578
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. On that depth chart, You

579
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So like for me and again

580
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: Zach Miller, great, it's fine. I think you know, again,

581
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: I think eight hundred fifty yards for for Zach Miller's fine. Um,

582
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: But I just think about the share his his share

583
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: in the targets. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get

584
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: at least a thousand yards considering that. Yeah, there's just

585
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: no one on the depth chart. Cutler has only actually

586
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: crossed four thousand passing yards once in his career, and

587
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: it was that what now looks like magical two thousand

588
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: and eight season in Denver before he was traded to Chicago.

589
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: Last year, he had hundred in fifteen games. Okay, so

590
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: I guess he won't get to four thousand. Really, it

591
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: would be quite and it would be quite a big

592
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: performance from him. But he only had he threw under

593
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: five past attempts too, if they're gonna be that bad. Yeah,

594
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: well he did miss one game, but still still you

595
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: guys obviously love Zach Miller. Yes, yeah, and he's one

596
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite late round tight Ends. I know franchises

597
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: in the same boat with me as well, there I am.

598
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: I wrote about him back in June in my late

599
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: round tight Ends to Target and it's just a matter

600
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: of there's Jeffrey, there's White, and there's Miller in that

601
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: passing game and that's you know, the volume is going

602
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: to be there. All right, let's talk about Detroit. Um,

603
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: I thought, I think Stafford when I start thinking about it,

604
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: I read a report today. They really want to go

605
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: high tempo, they want to run a lot more no

606
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: huddle offense, and basically asked Stafford to do more in

607
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: terms of being able to call plays the line. But

608
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: the bottom line is they want to move the offense

609
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: a lot quicker. To me, I start feeling like, you

610
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: know again with Uh, with the armed out that that

611
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: Stafford has, albeit it's very streaky. Um, he doesn't have

612
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: a he doesn't have marquee names catching the rock. But

613
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: with the guys that he has, Golden Tape, Marvin Jones, theoretic,

614
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: a mirab Doula, there's something to be said there. You

615
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: know again, am I saying he's gonna be a locked

616
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: in loaded uh top ten guy. No, But as the

617
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: second quarterback. Anybody starting to buy that a little bit? Yeah,

618
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean he's going largely undrafted in leagues, man, Yeah,

619
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean I can, I can buy it. I do

620
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: think this offense is, particularly the passing game, is going

621
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: to look a lot different this year than it has

622
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: in the past. Um, you talk about them wanting to

623
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: go up tempo, and part of being able to go

624
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: up tempo means that you have to throw a lot

625
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: of high percentage passes that you can complete. I mean,

626
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: if you're throwing in completions that that throws the whole

627
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: works off. So I think you know that that bodes

628
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: well for theoretic and a mirab Dulan and Golden tape

629
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, I think for I think as

630
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: much as I love your March Marvin Jones, this this

631
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: might put a little bit of a kink in that.

632
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: If you know, if he's going to be more of

633
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: their downfield guy, I think that will make it a

634
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: little bit hard. Not to say he can't get there,

635
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: just makes it a little more difficult. But this offense

636
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: and Matt Stafford are gonna look a lot different this

637
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: year than in the past, where you know, look, you

638
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: knew you might get two or three interceptions the game

639
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: out of Stafford, but you knew you would get some

640
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: downfield throws and some yardage and some touchdowns as well.

641
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: And if I could speak to that a little bit,

642
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: that idea of the short passing game. From week eight on,

643
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: which is when offensive coordinator Jim bob Cooter took over

644
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford had just a six point seven average depth

645
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: of aim throw per per Pro Football Focus, and that

646
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: was one of the lowest among starting quarterbacks netspans. So

647
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: you already saw them start to install that high percentage passing,

648
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, low, low average depth of target offense. But

649
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: I think that does fit Marvin Jones just as much,

650
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: if not better than Golden Tape because because he's a

651
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: really if you look at his reception perception, jones highest

652
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: scores are on slant routes, carl routes, flat routes, and

653
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: out routes, and those are all in the short to

654
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: intermediate range. And he wasn't actually that of a deep

655
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: threat in Cincinnati, but it's just what they needed him

656
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: to do, and so he'll be more of a like

657
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: a short intermediate guy there too. And I think that

658
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: both these guys are going to be great for fantasy.

659
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: But I love Jones at his stupid he's he's he's

660
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: like he's been a ninth to eighth round pick. Now

661
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: he's currently like a made eighth round pick. But like

662
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: he's wide receiver thirty eight, and Golden Tate is up there,

663
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: Like what with Stafford to it just didn't mean to

664
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: cut you off there on that the Tate's value thing,

665
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: but like you said that that made them much more

666
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: efficient when they went to the short passing thing. He

667
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: had from week nine on nineteen touchdowns in two interceptions.

668
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: That's really if you're going to buy into that. Now,

669
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: granted that was with Calvin Johnson, true, who is no

670
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: longer there, and we can't we can't overlook that because

671
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: the combination of Golden Tate and Kuan Bolden and Marvin

672
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: Jones are not Calvin Johnson. That being said, it's not

673
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: like Calvin Johnson just I mean tore the roof off

674
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: of people, you know what I mean. It's he was

675
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: there and obviously they had the game plan for him, clearly, Yes,

676
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: it's still it's not like he was catching and that

677
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: eight game stretch has to be among the best in

678
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: Stafford's career though in terms of I think it was

679
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: historic in terms of Lions quarterback, like a run for

680
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: the team. But before we pedle that, you doesn't that

681
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 1: give you hope? Then maybe Stafford can let me let

682
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: me punch a hole in that hope because because well,

683
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: I do think that it should be there. The one

684
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: thing we do need to note is that they had

685
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: a really great schedule down the stretch too. They played

686
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay twice, they played Oakland, Philadelphia, St. Louis, New Orleans,

687
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and Chicago. Most of those bad, bad defenses.

688
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: So I think that's probably something did take into consideration too.

689
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Before we're like, oh, Jim Bob Cooter next right offensive coordinator.

690
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: They played a pretty cupcake schedule down down the stretch.

691
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: I think too, we can't overlook an Kwan Bolden when

692
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: he signed with them, and we kind of dismissed it

693
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: like a he's old, he's washed, whatever, But he wasn't.

694
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: He had one catch for thirty yards in the preseason

695
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: game and everyone kind of was like, WHOA, there's there's

696
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: old school and Kan running through dudes, And I think

697
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: I think with they need to just play him at

698
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: tight end. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. With

699
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Ebron down he's gonna fill kind of not you know,

700
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play tight end, but he might. He should.

701
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: He might run some of those routes that were probably

702
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: a better tight end option than anybody else on that

703
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: right was right. I think he takes a dig into

704
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: tates value a little bit too, because they've already said

705
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 1: that he's going to take some slot snaps from Tate

706
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: and that's going to move him outside where he might

707
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: be just a better interior player. And you know, same

708
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: thing like in the red zone. Tate had like a

709
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: crazy short average at the red zone touchdowns last year,

710
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: and I think that Bolden could dig into that as well.

711
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: That's for sure, we're gonna see James Jones stuff like

712
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: hoodie style, you know, week one or week we're gonna

713
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: see one of those two touchdown performances from one Boulden.

714
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: We're all gonna be sitting here saying, don't buy into it.

715
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: It's all about Marvin Jones, baby top plenty four receiver

716
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: this year. Go to the Packers. All right, let's go,

717
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Packers. Um, here's the thing I

718
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: was right. Actually, did we touch sorry, did we did

719
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: we touch on a mirror Theodicto or draft any of them? Yeah?

720
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: Not really. I'm not into it. Don't care. It's so

721
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: were similar to the bear situation. It's just like huge

722
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: except question marks. Yeah pretty much. Well are you high

723
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: on it any one of those two guys? I don't

724
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: mind a Merabdulah and that, like because he's going in

725
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: like the eighth to tex round. If I'm grabbing him

726
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: as my fourth running back there for for why the

727
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: hell not bounced back potential? I still believe, I I

728
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: I agree with. My problem is Lions. Why why do

729
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: you have the same player twice on your roster? Why

730
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: it's actually one's actually good between the tackles and the other.

731
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like why, I'm not No, I don't know, man,

732
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: it is not bying. He's got fumbling issues. It didn't

733
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: you have double shoulder surgery this offseason? Two something crazy?

734
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: I think he could be good, but he's like he

735
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: could be a legit good player this year, and I

736
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: think he will bounce back from some of the rookie struggles.

737
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: But like for fantasy, I mean, I don't really I'm

738
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: with you. Like his draft price is totally fine, and

739
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: I've taken him a few spots there, but like he's

740
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: between the twenties runner, you're gonna need him to bust

741
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: off big plays. Like yeah, it's basically the same proposition

742
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: as like Tevin Coleman, except he might get a few

743
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: more rushes. All right, Um, but the way we're talking,

744
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the package right now. But I'm sorry, Wiz,

745
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: did you throw in here? How high will Shreddy Lacey?

746
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: I've seen it flying around on Twitter. Our friend, uh

747
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: Jersey Jen have degenerate on Twitter, and a couple of

748
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: shes trying to make this thing, and I'm on board

749
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: with that. First of all, it's fun. Look, had I

750
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: editorialized a little bit and rundowns for for giggles? No, no, no,

751
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: but let me let me ask you this. Let me

752
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: ask you he is not really. I mean, he's slimmed

753
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: down from what we saw last year, which was defensive lineman. Wait,

754
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: shredded back down to big all right? So so okay,

755
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: So then if you don't like that for all the

756
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, the nineties alternative slash Pearl Jam fans, what

757
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: about Eddie Better Eddie God like that. I don't mind

758
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: that one. That's why I don't think that's metal enough. Okay, anyways,

759
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: any lace enough for any of you has watched this

760
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: Packer game, obviously I did. But he looked strong. He

761
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: looked like he looked like the Eddie Lacey of old

762
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 1: where I mean, he's not a game breaker, but if

763
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: people try to arm tackle him at the line of scrimmage,

764
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: he ripped right through those and had that It's not

765
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: a great second gear. It's like you know, in my

766
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: four cylinder hun day when I have to go up

767
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: a hill. He gets a little bit of juice. But

768
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: he was powering into the second level and it it

769
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: looked good. You know what we saw too, the patent

770
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: spin move. Yes, I saw a little bit of We

771
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: saw a little bit of spin move. Edie Lacy, for

772
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: being a big guy's got one of the best b

773
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: buttons in the league, for sure. I love it um

774
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: but again, not not shredded. I was actually surprised by

775
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: how big he looked considering all of the pictures we

776
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: saw of him. You know what I'm saying, Yeah, he wasn't.

777
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: I was. I was expecting a little bit more. I

778
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: mean the tight jersey has never been flattering on a

779
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: big guy like Eddie Lacey. So just remember just pull

780
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: up that that picture of him in the Lions game

781
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: from last year if you want to see the difference.

782
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: But again, Lacey was the first to his first two

783
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: years in the league was a top six fantasy running back.

784
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: Each year. He's He's excellent out of the field catching passes.

785
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: He's a better between the tackle runners than James Starks.

786
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: And as much as Green Bay wants us to believe

787
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a committee, I don't think that will

788
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: be the case. You know what's really funny is in

789
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: the shape he looks now, I wouldn't be surprised if

790
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy goes um in a lot of leagues at

791
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: the top of the second round, because again, when you're

792
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: when you're picking on that turn and you're looking at

793
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, waiting twenty picks between your picks, sometimes you

794
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: just gotta go get your guy, you know what I mean.

795
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't actually be surprised to see Eddie Lacy

796
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: go there in the second round. And you know, considering

797
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: all of the question mark guys that are kind of

798
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: in that second round running back range. I don't hate it.

799
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't love it. I just don't hate it either,

800
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: that's all. Yeah, he's like a mid second rounder right now.

801
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: He's been around that range for the entire offseason. I

802
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to creep into the first round

803
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: if you're saying he's gonna keep climbing. But all right,

804
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: how about Random Cup? Love him? Love him? It's one

805
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: of my favorite pixes wrote about him Guaranteed, locked and loaded.

806
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: Why don't if he's not top, If he's not top,

807
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: seen something something went really bad? Wow? Really? I had

808
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: it for sixteen bucks in our auction mock today and

809
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: I was like, how did this happen? That was? That

810
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: was legit? You know what it was. And this is

811
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: just a peek into my recap. It's like when you're

812
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: in an auction, if like you throw out if a

813
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 1: boring player like Randall perceived boring player like Randall cobbs

814
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: out there early, well, don't bit up on those guys

815
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: there because they're like, all do I want to get,

816
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: like I gotta say for like one of the one

817
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: of the good guys, you know, so you can pluck

818
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: guys like that, you know, I've been saying, because I

819
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: think Jordy Nelson is kind of the lynchpin in this offense.

820
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: He's the guy who puts everybody else in a in

821
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: a role that they're more comfortable in and allows everybody

822
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: else to succeed. But you not only that, but all

823
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 1: the reports of how this offense has been performing, about

824
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 1: how this passing game has been performing with Aaron Rodgers

825
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: at the helm have just spectacular and as like, as

826
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny that that we started talking about

827
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: this because moments before we got to this subject, I

828
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: just see Chris Wessling, uh, you know, quote tweeting something

829
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: from Rob Damovski uh and basically the words especially sharp

830
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: and specially are being used in relation to Rogers in

831
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: the passing game, and that that helps everybody, including uh Randall.

832
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not forget that two years ago Randall

833
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: Cobb wasn't a wide receiver too. He was a wide

834
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: receiver one. He was I think the wide receiver six

835
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: when Jordy Nelson was the wide receiver. To here's the thing.

836
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, receptions undred yards almost and uh and

837
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: twelve receiving touchdowns. But if you look at what he

838
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 1: has done really in his career. That is, those numbers

839
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: are outliers. Man. He doesn't have another thousand yards season

840
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: under his belt, and his second highest touchdown receptions was

841
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: was eight and that goes back to So I don't know, man,

842
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: It's it's interesting, you guys are so high. I'm projecting

843
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: more of an eleven hundred yards season. Uh seven or

844
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns. Hell, his touchdown ceiling is much higher in

845
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: that offense. They love him in the red zone, love

846
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: him in the red zone despite being a small guy.

847
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: He's in his history with him and Jordy Nelson in the

848
00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: the field, I think their neck and neck in red

849
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: zone targets. But eight touchdowns is not bad, That's what

850
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean, Julio Jones had eight touchdowns last year,

851
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't think I'm not I'm not

852
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: downgrading his ability, especially in the red zone by saying

853
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna get seven or eight touchdowns. I just think, uh,

854
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: double digits for Randall Cobb when again, you've got Eddie Lacey,

855
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: You've got Jordy Nelson. I just I'm not sure. Well,

856
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: I'll say this in this almost feels like I'm making

857
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: the Eric Beck your argument again, but Randall Cobbs had

858
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: double touchdown or actually I take that back, never mind

859
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: continue on, But he hasn't. I mean, that's what I'm saying.

860
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: But that twelve touchdown season that he had, that that

861
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: was his it's actually an outlier when you look at

862
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 1: his stats. But those other seasons were he was ravished

863
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: with injuries. Twelve was his sophomore year where he was

864
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: still having to get past other players and scored those

865
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns on a much more loaded offense that still

866
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: had Greg Jennings and I believe James Jones there as

867
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: well in in twelve. Let me just double check that no. Jones, Finley, Nelson,

868
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: and Jennings were all on the team in twelve. So

869
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: is the best picture of what this offense looks like

870
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: when Cobb and Nelson are there and healthy. And that's

871
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: what's going to be the case again in Seen, Like

872
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: who who else are they going to throw too? Because

873
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: we you know, we can sit here and talk about

874
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: who's gonna be the third receiver with the answer is

875
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: probably nobody cares. Nobody cares who's the third receiver because

876
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: none of them are that good. They're not gonna be

877
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: productive enough to Oh God, I love time Montgomery. No

878
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: he is he barely played. I know, I know he's injured. No, No,

879
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: I know he's injured. But I'm just saying, you know,

880
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: as a season, maybe by the end of the year. Sure,

881
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. The thing is, like I was,

882
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned that, Harmon, because I was thinking

883
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: about this, but I lost track of it when we

884
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: were actually in the flow of the podcast. Here is

885
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: that like there, there's just no need for a third receiver.

886
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: They will use it on a matchup base level, but

887
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: that third receiver will at times to be Eddie Lacey,

888
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: It'll at times be Jared Cook. And this is harmon.

889
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: I like your phrase you used for concentrated passing offenses

890
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: with if these two are at full strength there and Rogers,

891
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: it's going through Jordy Nelson and Ramba Cop. Yeah, that's true.

892
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean again, if both of those guys are healthy

893
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: and playing, of course, both of those guys are going

894
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: to see ninety receptions is each. I don't think that's

895
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that's much of a stretch. But this

896
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: is an offense too though. I mean, they go again,

897
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: they're going to go eleven personnel a lot, are they not? Yeah? Yeah,

898
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: but I do know they probably, I mean they do.

899
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: Historically they have been a three wide receiver offense, and

900
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: so they would like somebody to step up. But they

901
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: would have liked some of their guys to step up

902
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: last year and it didn't happen. And I mean, I

903
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: think Davantae Adams and and nobody was lower on Davante

904
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: Adams and I was coming to last year, and I

905
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 1: think he can be an okay number three receiver, maybe

906
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: ideally like a number four receiver, but you know, he's

907
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: not probably not worthless like he looked last year, especially

908
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: because he was hurt too. But I just don't think

909
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: that that player is going to be as important as

910
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: it was when they were running a ton of three

911
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver sets with three really good receivers. Before the

912
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: thing is to Mike McCarthy is historically one of the

913
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: most diverse in his personnel packages. They might they might

914
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: run eleven, but they might have you know, then they'll

915
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: switch it up and they'll have two fullbacks, they'll have

916
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: two tight ends. They run the wishbone for God's Yeah,

917
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: Like that's there. I don't think there's a big enough

918
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: trend to rely on. And if it's three wide receivers,

919
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: that's not to say it's always going to be the

920
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: same third receiver. It's a good point. It's a very

921
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: good point. All right, let's talk about the vikings. Adrian Peterson. Uh,

922
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: in the first he's going late in the first round.

923
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: I do believe, although you know, I take that back

924
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: because I know in a lot of um uh, regular

925
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: person leagues, I don't know what it's called there there

926
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: you go. In more casual leagues, Adrian Peterson can be

927
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: seen anywhere near like the very very top or the

928
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: at the very latest at the end of the first round.

929
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, um, do we believe in his price

930
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: there in the first round? Yes? No, uh, I believe.

931
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 1: That's a worried SiGe. I mean I do believe. I do,

932
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: and I think what happens with it with Adrian Peterson.

933
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,479
Speaker 1: What's happening with Adrian Peterson this year is that people

934
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: are looking at the age and they see what's it

935
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: thirty one? And yeah, I still think whether or not

936
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 1: it's valid, I still think the idea of thirty being

937
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: the beginning of the end for running backs is starting

938
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: to take hold and Peterson has been so good for

939
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: so long and he's gotten so much work, and I

940
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: think that's it. I think there's there's just I think

941
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: you're you're sensing some caution coming in with Adrian Peterson

942
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: that people realize, Look, it can go at any time,

943
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,919
Speaker 1: and for running backs, when it goes, it generally goes

944
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 1: really quickly. And it's that's the concerns for for him

945
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: as a first round back. If you're talking second or

946
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: you know certainly he'll never get to the third round.

947
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: But if you're talking second round, I think you feel

948
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: a little bit better. But for a first round guy,

949
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: where just if it suddenly goes sideways, you're gonna be

950
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: really hurting. And here's my issue with Peterson. Even if

951
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: he doesn't take a step back from last year, even

952
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 1: if he's the exact same player, with the exact same outlook,

953
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: in the exact same worth gload, he still had four

954
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: games of under seven points. And it's the same argument

955
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: that I make with Todd Gurley, where except where Peterson

956
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: has a better quarterback and it isn't a better offense.

957
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: So he's got those things going form ahead of Gurley,

958
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: but he just like girly. He does not have a

959
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: clear passing game role like some of these other guys do.

960
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: His floor is nightmarish. Even though he's Adrian Peterson, he

961
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: can still pop you in with like five or five

962
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: point week and that's just tough to take from a

963
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: first round running he might be coming off the field

964
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: on third downs. Here's the thing, and he and Teddy

965
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: Bridgewater like oil and water right now with where Bridgewater

966
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: is much more effective when they spread the field, when

967
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: they go a shotgun heavy and Peterson just at this

968
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: point his career can't or won't do that. He has

969
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: to come from seven yards deep Oytherwise, he's not doing anything.

970
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: It's interesting though, because Adrian Peterson is actually acutely aware

971
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: of that and has talked about a lot in this offseason.

972
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: Um I believe he actually talked to NFL media is

973
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: Marshall Falk about wanted to be much more involved on

974
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: third downs and in passing situations. He apparently has worked

975
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: on that a lot. I've I've seen that story crop

976
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 1: up a couple of times about how he's been spending

977
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: a lot of extra time trying to catch passes. So

978
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: that's interesting to me. That's interesting to me, and plus again,

979
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: he's a cyborg. Yes, I mean the talent level just

980
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's it's ridiculous. So I get

981
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: at the concerns. I just don't think this year is

982
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: that year, right, I'm generally with you that I, well,

983
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: I would not take him in the first round, but

984
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm not taking really any running backs that aren't named

985
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: David Johnson or Zekoe Elliott in the first round. I

986
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: still think that this is we're probably still a year

987
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: away from his Crater year. A lot of great reports

988
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: regarding Stefon Dicks in that last year. They basically try

989
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: to force him on the outside. He doesn't necessarily have

990
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: that speed or even that size and athleticism uh to

991
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: be that guy. So what did they do this offseason.

992
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: They're moving him around, They're moving him into the slot,

993
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: they're playing him on the outside, they're playing right next

994
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: to the line flanker, They're they're moving him into a

995
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: lot of different spots. And apparently he has really really

996
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: excelled by picking up the playbook and basically just being

997
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: a matchup nightmare. Yeah, he's one of those guys that

998
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: when you're watching, you know, we're following along with all

999
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: the training camps on Twitter and stuff. Seen a lot

1000
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: of glowing tweets, and I've seen a lot of glowing vines.

1001
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: Here's Stefon Diggs roasting X cornerback. Here Stefan Diggs in

1002
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: a team. I think they played the Titans and he

1003
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: roasted somebody. Stefan Digg is another amazing catch. Oh look

1004
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: Stefen Diggs with the one handed catch. So I think

1005
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: we had a lot of people in us included in

1006
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: this room, had bought into Treadwell a little more this

1007
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: year because of his touchdown potential being that red zone threat.

1008
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: But I think we're overlooking just how good Stefan Diggs

1009
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: played last year and the development he's taken this year.

1010
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: I think he's the wide receiver to own in the

1011
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: Minnesota offense now. I think I think as well. When

1012
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: you look at the game logs for Stefen Diggs last

1013
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: year too, it was concerning, right because he had a

1014
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: nice little two three game stretch where he was very impressive.

1015
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: But because it's such a low volume passing attack, we

1016
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: especially saw down the stretch he godly. He didn't do

1017
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: almost anything from a fantasy perspective, and I felt like

1018
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: I felt like it burned a lot of people because

1019
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: people were chasing those points that we saw earlier. For sure, well,

1020
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: he had me four like dominant games. Statistically, She's insane.

1021
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: Right to get off the bat, he had eighty seven

1022
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: yards against Denver, he went over a hundred yards in

1023
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: the next one, and then he had ninety and a

1024
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: touchdown I think in that final one before he never

1025
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: topped seven two yards again down the stretch. But you know,

1026
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: I put him through reception perception recently. His seventy one

1027
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: point three success rate verse man coverages the highest UH

1028
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: after Tyler Lockett and better than a Marie Cooper out

1029
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: of the rookies that I've charted last year. It's just

1030
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: pretty like around league average against press coverage. But I

1031
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: think that speaks to trying to move him around, get

1032
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: those different matchups in there. And I think he's I mean,

1033
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 1: he's a sneaky candidate for like a hundred and fifteen targets.

1034
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: And and I just wrote an article that if you

1035
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: pretty much get to the hunter twenty mark, that you're

1036
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: almost it's hard to not have top screen. Yeah, And

1037
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know this. This Minnesota offense like

1038
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: it's interesting, man, like their receiving corps might be really

1039
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: good like this time next year, because I think Digs

1040
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: is legit. I love Treadwell as a talent. And Charles

1041
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: Johnson is showing up again. He's alive. And listen if

1042
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: that's a if those guys all keep progressing on the

1043
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: current trajectory that they're on this offensive. I hear everything

1044
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: you guys are saying about all these wide receivers. I do.

1045
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: I hear it, and I don't know. And I look

1046
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: at the roster and I see Teddy. I wish I

1047
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: had a Debbie Downer sound sounder for you right now.

1048
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: I just when Teddy's able to run offense that suits

1049
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: his skills, it will he will be fine. I want

1050
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: to believe I do. Are we a year away? Is

1051
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: that what you're saying? I just just Teddy just it's

1052
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: it's I keep telling me he's Alex Smith without the

1053
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: running ability. And then you know this is the guy

1054
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: who last year in sixteen games through fourteen touchdowns. How

1055
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: how I don't know. How do you do this in

1056
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: a league that everything is slanted to quarterbacks and wide receives.

1057
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy who hadds and fourteen touchdowns, and

1058
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: I believe Stefon Diggs is as good as Matt Harmon

1059
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: says he is. I do I believe that Lakwan tread

1060
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: Will can be the playmaker in this office. I would

1061
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: say that tread Will, I guess the upside there is

1062
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: that he could potentially be a touchdown guy because because

1063
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: I worry that digs for all the good things he

1064
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: does still m top out under a thousand yards this

1065
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 1: year just because of the way this passing offense works. Interesting,

1066
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:05,919
Speaker 1: and I know there's been a there's been a lot

1067
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: of clamoring for you know, which is weird, Like people

1068
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of clamoring to see the post Adrian petersonaro because

1069
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: he's like the greatest running back of our generation for sure,

1070
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: but just because people are so curious about can Teddy

1071
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: Bridgewater take another step in an offensive suits him more?

1072
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 1: But if you listen to Mike zimmer talk, I think

1073
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: gives some press conference recently where he was talking about,

1074
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of quarterbacks to go out

1075
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: there and you know put up basically subtweeting Blake Bortles, like,

1076
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: go up there and put up a bunch of numbers.

1077
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: But then lose the game, my quarterback doesn't put up

1078
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: any numbers, and then that we still win. And so

1079
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: that is the way they do want to play. So

1080
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: to Marcus, great defense, right, yeah, Like to Marcus point

1081
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: like that just might be what it always is. They

1082
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: might just be that next in Minnesota. Speaking of their defense,

1083
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: am I the only one that's buying them is like

1084
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: a great kind of defense to scoop up in the

1085
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,959
Speaker 1: last I think they've got a great defense. My only

1086
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: my only thing is their schedule, right like the NFC North,

1087
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: they're going to sling it a little bit. If I

1088
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: cared about fantasy defenses, I would care like people people

1089
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 1: tweet us between me a bunch, like when don't you

1090
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: guys talking with defenses? More so, I wanted to get

1091
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: a little chattering. Well, here's here's the here's a piece

1092
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: of advice. Stop caring about defenses and just stream them. Salty. Well,

1093
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 1: I streamed defenses in most leagues too, But well, all right,

1094
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 1: that's what we should be telling people. Think them there,

1095
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: don't meet them, because here's things. Streaming defenses are great,

1096
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: but it is nice when you don't have to necessarily

1097
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,479
Speaker 1: stream them. Um, mostly because it helps you focus more

1098
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: on sleepers, deep sleepers, guys, roster spots that you can

1099
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: hold onto for a long time. If you have the

1100
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, for example, you're not going to stream them.

1101
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: And I get that, and maybe some weeks that's not

1102
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: the best strategy. But I will say this, you could

1103
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: focus a lot more time on sleepers. You could focus

1104
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 1: a roster spot on sleepers. You don't have to necessarily

1105
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: think about the matchups every single week. And plus I

1106
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: I only say this because I play in a league.

1107
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 1: My league of record, Uh, you have a capped roster moves.

1108
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: You can only make eighteen on the year. That's interesting.

1109
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: I do I play. I play any similar league where

1110
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: you have to you know, you gonna make so many

1111
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: roster moves, and beyond that then you have to kick

1112
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: in uh, you know, extra extra extra sandwich. I'm I'm

1113
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: sorry being I was being too salty, and I apologize

1114
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: a lot more strategicy in those limited move leagues. But yeah, totally, okay,

1115
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: my bad. I'll just shut up for the rest of

1116
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: the which. By the way, I did get some questions

1117
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: to Some people are saying, maybe we could do a

1118
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: little more. We'll do with a a lot of player focused

1119
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: stuff here, some more strategy or theory kind of episodes,

1120
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 1: and we'll definitely whip one of those up in the

1121
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: coming weeks. Right now, we're doing team focuses, right, so

1122
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: anytime you do those team focuses, you're gonna focus on

1123
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: But I will tell you this, as we get closer

1124
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 1: to draft week, Um, no doubt about it, we're gonna

1125
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: be talking about strategies because you know we talked about

1126
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Live show today. Uh, if you go

00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: a for the folks who are not in the TV

1141
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: or or podcast business, we have a rundown. Gonna rundown

1142
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: is basically what we're gonna talk about, line item by

1143
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: line item. All right, this guy made a fake rundown

1144
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: basically saying I'm gonna rip you guys off and and

1145
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: this is my fake rundown of my mock NFL Fancy

1146
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 1: Live podcast. He says he's gonna start off by saying

1147
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: fantasy creeps and nerds. It's James Elbow, Uh, Maddie since

1148
00:54:54,000 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: San Franciscovich, Sanchez, Uh, Matt Harmoir, Alex Gether, Marcus Grand

1149
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: which is great for news articles. He wrote that Jeff

1150
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: janis injured fractured hand. He's the goat. Uh Samy Coakes

1151
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: and Bruce Ellington must own it's pretty good accurate, so

1152
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: we should probably just retweet the thing right then going

1153
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: through the round. But it is. It is pretty fun.

1154
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: I will say this though. For his daily DAPs, this

1155
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: is great. Harm War is going to daily DAP B

1156
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: y B and Charles makes sense. That's pretty good. Uh,

1157
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: so we're gonna have him. Congratulations to at Tummage. You

00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: At this is his name is Adrian, and I'm gonna

1180
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:48,799

1182
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: The best they are at what they do. Besides getting

1183
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: infotips and strategies, they're the best analysts. You get a

1184
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: very fun listen dynamic show. On top of that. There's

1185
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,919
Speaker 1: a guy who looks like Geno Smith. There's a guy

1186
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: who's sund sounds like Samuel L. Jackson as well. I

1187
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: think he said that Alex Gilhar somehow sounds like when

1188
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: like my voice gets high and I get really incredulous.

1189
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: It sounds like Samuel Jackson gets riled up in a movie.

1190
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: I think that's inaccurate, Like when he's tired of these

1191
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: Monday to Friday snakes. Uh, he's having into the mentions.

1195
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: This fellow says he does a fourteen team league in Mexico.

1213
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: like this guy. I believe he's from England, so I

1214
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: like this into the Internationalist. He wrote a nice little

1215
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: review here, um, and then he started tweeting at me.

1216
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: He said, hey, Matt, your beard is glorious. It's nearly

1217
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: as good as mine. I need to be in the

1218
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: listener league. I said, okay, okay, but I liked I

1219
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: liked it, and I moved on. And then he went

1220
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: on a rant with a bunch of one liners. I

1221
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: am the saying Bolt of Trade replies, I will accept

1222
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,439
Speaker 1: reject or counter offers in record time. First one, that's good.

1223
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: Then he said, you probably want me to shut up,

1224
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: But I'm Prince Charles neighbor, so I'm basically related to

1225
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: the mean I could ask, I could ask to get united.

1226
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: Me and Liz the Queen are pretty tight. I mean

1227
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: he lives on the river. Tim's though, I mean like,

1228
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'm Then he said I'm going to

1229
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: stop solid because I'm sure you're a very busy man.

1230
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. Piece out and then he

1231
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: followed that up with ps, your beard is superior to Harmon's.

1232
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: Keep this to yourself. Well I've already I have already

1233

Speaker 1: what is known as a Shakespearean rough. Right, here's the thing.

1237
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know what that was. This is what I googled.

1238
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: This is a quote. What is the fluffy thing shakespeare

1239
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: actors wear around their neck? I wouldn't have Google for

1240
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: it either. Thank you to the fine employees at Google

1242
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: like that. Well search the first thing that comes up

1243

01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: him on Twitter, so you have you have to you

1248
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: have to get his email. Rude. I'm just kidding, of course,

1249
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: except he's not gonna win anything. But alright, So second

1250
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: one and this this is a review from iTunes. Almost

1251
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: as magnificent as my Beard from Wild seventy eight. I've

1252
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: listened to the NFL Fantasy Live podcast for the last

1253
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: couple of years. I find it to be a great

1254
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: mix of humor, pop culture, fantasy football. Goodness is snarky

1255
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: behavior or snark banter, EU maybe a little snarky behavior too.

1256
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: You never know what's going on. Back here, h Standing

1257
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: in front of the mirror this morning, listening to the show,

1258
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: I found myself cursing your names as I applied my

1259
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: beard bomb and brushed my magnificent man made with Boars hairbrush.

1260
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: Let's he's getting he's getting there for It was then

1261
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: I knew that you and your listener league would be

1262
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: the catalyst forcing me to break an oath I made

1263
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: to myself years ago. My Facebook page only exists because

1264
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: my wife and I have Because of my wife, I

1265
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: have zero social media footprint, and I respect that. By

1266
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 1: the way, I liked it that way. Here we are now,

1267
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: in August two thousand and sixteen, and because of you,

1268
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: I have a Twitter account, which, yes, which I hate

1269
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: about as much as James co hates the Chicago backfield.

1270
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: So thanks for that. Please make this aggravation worthwhile by

1271
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: bringing me into the Bearded League. Congratulate and there you go.

1272
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: It's all been worthwhile. And I appreciate your your desire

1273
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: to live off the grid, as I would prefer to

1274
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: do that too. But here we are. Here, we are

1275

1276
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: to us about how he wants to live off the

1277
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 1: I would be much better off. How many tweets have

Speaker 1: you at? Ten thousand? More? Far more than anyone else

1280
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: in the stronghold four thousand? I'm honestly amazed. It's not

1281

Speaker 1: a hundred k yet, But geez listen, I mean, I

1282

1283
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: would be so much more free and in touch with

1284
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: the universe without it because I hate social media. I mean,

1285
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm not on any other social media platforms. Dilage, you

1286
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: are the one that keeps trying to push back every

1287
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: time we're like, we're gonna have to do this for

1288

Speaker 1: social for work. You're like, no, no, we're not. Marcus,

1293
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,520

1294
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: and I love this podcast, and not just because Marcus

1295

Speaker 1: I don't know if I have, and Uncle Melvin, I

1297
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: can tell you just from the review that Danica seems

1298
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: to be quite international. She says she has listened to

1299
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: the podcast from places like Azerbaijan and Rebecca stan Yes,

1300

1301
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: as the less orthodox methods of evaluations, such as Alex

1302

01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: baby co Harmon's secret life in West Virginia, and everyone's

1306
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: ability to follow up fans that I've never heard of.

1307
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:06,919
Speaker 1: I would love to join one of the FAMI leagues,

1308
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: particularly the O G One, since I may be related

1309
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: to Marcus. But most importantly, how Stark is rising and

1310

01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: another one coming from iTunes, and this one is getting

1318
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: in because it tugged at Alex's sympathetic heartstrings there a

1319
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: little bit, but it's from l M W one to

1320
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: zero four titled o G Family Request says after getting

1321
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: a thirty to four forty hour a week cleaning shift

1322
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: at a restaurant, I have the chance to be able

1323
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: to listen to many fantasy podcasts this summer, but yours

1324
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: is my absolute favorite. Sites are amazing chemistry banter. It

1325
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: makes it like he's part of a real fun conversation

1326
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: between friends and not a scripted rundown of players like

1327
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: other podcast So then he says he uh loves hearing

1328
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: and stuff and us on a little extra on the side.

1329
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: He said that I personally inspire him because he's a

1330
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: seventeen year old senior in Wisconsin with a dream of

1331
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: working in sports journalism because he has a passion for

1332
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: writing and for football. Writes mainly sports articles for his

1333
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: high school newspaper, UH and occasionally fantasy ones if you

1334
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 1: can sneak them. In, but his family doesn't believe that

1335
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: being a journalist is a realist possibility and are trying

1336
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: to push him into other fields. But he says, after

1337
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: learning about me and working here, he's dead set. I'm

1338
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: pursuing his passion, which I admire and respect the hell

1339
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: out of. So uh, he says, hopefully he can be

1340
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: a whiz kid from Wisconsin somewhere out in there that

1341
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: LMW one to zero four. Body. We're gonna bring in

1342
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: the lake man, and you can hit me up if

1343
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: you need anything else or any questions to prepare for

1344
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: that next step of your journey. So it tugged at

1345
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: your heartstrings and your ego. I I rolled so hard

1346
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: at harmon here. That was heartwarming. Go chase it, buddy.

1347

1349
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 1: with the franchise? I'm ready to do one now because

1350
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: I know in the tentative Google doc rundown you originally

1351
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: just put dot dot dot. Yeah, I didn't have one.

1352
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: I didn't have one. I thought band. He wouldn't surprise me.

1353
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: What's wrong with this band? On Spotify they're called U M,

1354
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: what's wrong with dapping bands that bands all the time?

1355
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Everybody seems to like that. Actually, but it is a

1356
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: run here follow follow the trends that I set. Okay,

1357
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: it's correct, all right. Today I'm not dapping a band.

1358
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm dapping the squirrel that stole a goproke, yes and

1359
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: from some guy and took it up into a tree

1360
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: and ran around the branches and actually filmed the video.

1361
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: And then he dropped the go programer back to the ground,

1362
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: and the guy picked it up and posted this video

1363
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: on YouTube, and it's amazing. I feel like it's a hoax,

1364
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: a squirrel picking up I don't like, I was, honestly, James,

1365
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: I like, That's why I stared blankly for a second,

1366
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 1: because I don't same thing that cross my mind. I'm like,

1367
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 1: but how like, I don't know how they would have.

1368
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I got to edit it or something.

1369
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: Listens a crazy thing. I don't know, I don't think,

1370
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: So what do you want from me here? I don't

1371
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: know anyway, DAPs to this squirrel for hauling this camera

1372
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: up in it. It's probably real and I'm just a cynic,

1373
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: but it could be. It's fun because I mean it's

1374
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,919
Speaker 1: super sporadic and it's pretty sweet. It was squirrel. There's

1375
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: probably some kind of nut to lure him. You know,

1376
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm attached to the camera, that's what That's what I imagine.

1377
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: But DAPs, so that squirrel, that's tough, tough to do.

1378
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: I've tried it. I've tried it. MG and my guy

1379
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, what's up. I'm going to daily dap. You know,

1380
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 1: we because we do spend time on Twitter, especially even

1381
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon especially we you know, we all we all

1382
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: make Twitter friends, people that we haven't necessarily met in

1383
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: real life, but who you know, have become kind of

1384
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: part of our every day. And so my daily DAP

1385
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,400

Speaker 1: movie Bird Dimmick, which I've heard of and never seen.

1391
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:16,560

Speaker 1: a deflection right back and they snuck one in later.

1417
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: It was a really entertaining game, but it was great

1418
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 1: for Liverpool to open up the season one to zero

1419
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:37,040

1441
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: obviously very happy, has found something that he really truly

1442
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 1: connects with and appreciates, and so have I. Oh you have. Yeah,

1443
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,719
Speaker 1: I got a new hair spray in my life. Oh god,

1444
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: which is basically an even more important relationship. Oh my god,

1445
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: Peter Coppola hair spray. You have a picture of it.

1446
01:09:57,920 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 1: I took it in case I need the daily DApp in.

1447
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: You are right now if you have a picture of

1448
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: your hair spray, well, because I because I'm a little

1449
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 1: forgetful and uh so I forget stuff. So I had

1450
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: to take a picture of it in case I forget

1451
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: what it's called. Uh in case I go out to

1452
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: the store and I go to buy it again, I forget.

1453
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: But listen, I really struggle with finding a good consistent

1454
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: hair spray because my hair is very fine and will

1455
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: eventually be gone because of that. But so this a

1456
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 1: better way to treat that that fine hair than loading

1457
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 1: it up with hair spray and Harrison, you got a

1458
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 1: rocket while you got it. What's the point? Longevity is

1459
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: not that import and I'd rather just burn out real quick.

1460
