Hey man, no problem. Listen. 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: I I want you guys to know that I knew 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: that Marshawn was gonna do this to you, so I 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: put in a called Eric Pegram. He wasn't you know. 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: I tried John L. Williams, he wasn't available, and finally 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: I stopped with Lamont Warren. And once Lamont Warren wouldn't 16 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: do it, I'm sorry, Jason, I had to come in. 17 00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: You didn't call Kurt Warner the other Kurt or Richie Anderson. Okay, 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: interesting thing Kurt Warner with a C came up in 19 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: conversation last night. So I I went out Kurt with s. 20 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: I went out last night. I ran into a guy 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: that I know that's a huge Seahawks fan, huge, and 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: he's running out of the place and then he comes 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: back to me and he's like, he goes Elliott. I'm 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm so nervous about this game. So nervous, man, 25 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm just nervous. He's literally he's talking like five I'm 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: clearly he's throwing a few back. And then he starts 27 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: talking about Dave Craig. And now he had a Dave 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: Craig jersey, which I really didn't need to know. And 29 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: then I actually I had to tell him that the 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: only jersey that I remember my dad ever buying me 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I got it for Christmas. 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: I have a Seahawks blue home jersey. Kurt Warner with 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: a c Ney. Why would I have got it for free? 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: And he just said, I'll give it to my son 35 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: he likes maybe so, but it's still hanging in my 36 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: close kids jersey Kurt Warner with the sea. All right, 37 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: So some other players who were little were contemporary, not 38 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: the Kurt Warner isn't. But you just made him relevant. Here, 39 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: a couple of big stars for the Seahawks as they 40 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: get ready for Sunday, we get ready as to what 41 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: we're going to do for them next season. Russell Wilson 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: not getting as much publicity this week because of Richard Sherman. 43 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: But then again, you know Obama stated the union not 44 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: getting as much publicity because Richard Sherman. So let's start 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks here. Russell Wilson go into the next year. Marcus, 46 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: he started off slow. It's been up and down this season, 47 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: had some great games, had some bad games. We're gonna 48 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: have him ranked off season WI when it comes quarterbacks. 49 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: I've got him somewhere probably around eight, eight to ten 50 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: in my rankings next year. And I think what will 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: help him a lot is hopefully having a healthy Percy 52 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: Harvin for the entire season. I mean, it was it 53 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: was kind of incredible to see the way he was 54 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: able to produce this year with just kind of a 55 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: grab bag of white outs. I mean, guys that nobody 56 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: talks about. I mean nobody talks about Golden Tad or 57 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin or any anybody like that. Um, but Russell 58 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: Wilson still managed to be a fairly productive fantasy quarterback. 59 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: I believe he finished in the top five in or 60 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: in the top ten certainly in fantasy scoring at the position. 61 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: I think his ups and downs, especially his struggles late 62 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: in the season, will knock him down a lot of 63 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: draft boards, But just his ability to make plays. It's 64 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: not always pretty, it's not always eye popping, but he 65 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: finds a way to produce. And I think having Percy 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: Harvard in an offense for a full season, we'll we'll 67 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: do a lot to help him and he could be 68 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: I think he'll be underrated going in the next season. 69 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: Now wait a minute before we get to Percy Harving. 70 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: You can't say nobody talks about Doug Baldwin because I 71 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: remember an Elliot Harrison tweet during the NFC Championship game 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: that says, every team needs a Doug Baldwin. They do. 73 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: He's a He's a good little player in a real sense, 74 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: but I don't think he really helps the fantasy value 75 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: of a team. For me personally, I would never draft 76 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson to be my starting quarterback in fantasy, never 77 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: even if or at least not going into this year, 78 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: and I don't see it going in the next coming years. 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: First of all, Marshawn Lynch is signed through. I don't 80 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: see them changing the the scope of this team. Sidney 81 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: Rice is gone, so they're gonna be relying on Baldwin, 82 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: Curse and Harvin and Harvn's a little bit of an 83 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: unknown commodity at this point. Given his health. We can't 84 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: just assume that he's gonna be the same player he 85 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: was a few years ago. And when you look at it, Marcus, 86 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: if you're saying the guys in the eight to ten range, right, 87 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: so we'll just say nine. Okay, do you really want 88 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: the ninth best quarterback as your starter in fantasy? If 89 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: you're in a tin team league, I'm all four waiting 90 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: on quarterback. That doesn't mean I want the ninth best guy. 91 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: Here's the I'm not so much. And if Michael Fabiano 92 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: here's this, he he may blow his top. But I 93 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: I I'm not holding to the weight on a quarterback 94 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: theory this year. I mean, if you're late in the 95 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: first round, early in the second round, I would rather 96 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: go out and get Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees. 97 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: What have you been reaching for a running back or 98 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver who may not be worthy, Like I'm not 99 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: gonna go out and reach for I don't know, just 100 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: throw a name out there, Frank Gore or something like 101 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: that when there's another quality quarterback out there, just because 102 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: I feel like I have to have a running back. 103 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: So I agree with that, and I also agree with 104 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: your your your premisse on Harvin that we know what 105 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: he can do. We had just seen so little of 106 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: him over a sustained period that I think, I think 107 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: you're right that it's hard to completely evaluate who Percy 108 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: Hart and in a new town in a new town. 109 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: But Jason, let me ask you this about this strategy. 110 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: So if you take again, let's just say, let's just 111 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: say Russell Wilson is the ninth best quarterback in fantasy 112 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: for argument's sake, isn't it a great strategy in fantasy 113 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: to go ahead and take a top five quarterback, to say, 114 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: the fifth ranked quarterback, and then swing back around two 115 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: or three rounds later and get the eighth or ninth guy. 116 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: Because people tend to wait on Romo, they wait on Ryan, 117 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: they wait on Wilson. You can swing back around and 118 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: get one of those guys as your back up before 119 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: those people that are in your league that wait so 120 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: long on quarterback every even draft their starter. I like 121 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: that better than grabbing a third wide receiver sometimes we 122 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: are a fourth wide receiver rather, you know where I 123 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: like that is if, like last year, for instance, people 124 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: came in and said, Okay, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick 125 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: are my guys. I'm gonna then they're gonna be great 126 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: this year. What happened. They both started out really slow, 127 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: So you put all your eggs in that basket. And 128 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: because you did that, you didn't get a guy until 129 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: the very end of the draft. And so now you're 130 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: trying to make it work with Geno Smith for a 131 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: few weeks or whoever you drafted. Yeah, and Eli was awful. 132 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: So from that perspective, I like that. Now, if I 133 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: draft Aaron Rodgers in the third round, I'm gonna say, okay, 134 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Am I really gonna play somebody else over 135 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers? So then I would wait a while from 136 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: my backup quarterback. Yes, injuries could happen, but I'm pretty 137 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: confident there. But if I'm trying to project forward and 138 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying Nick Foles, I'm going all in on nick Foles, 139 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: and I'm taking Nick Foles early, and I take Nick 140 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: Foles in the fourth round, you better think about coming 141 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: back earlier than you want to and getting a quarterback, 142 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: because if Nick Foles throws up on himself, suddenly you're saying, boy, 143 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: maybe well hopefully Johnny Manzel does. Well, that's all right, 144 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm starting him for the rest of the Seas a 145 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: good point. I mean, I think last year I wanted 146 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: r G three, but then I wanted to swing back 147 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: around and get Romo right after him, so that I 148 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: had covered my basis. But I know a lot of 149 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 1: people do not like taking two quarterbacks in the first 150 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: ten rounds. No, I don't think so either. I mean, 151 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: I know that I had a league last year where 152 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: I was fortunate that I got Russell Wilson as a keeper, 153 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: so I you know, I knew that going into the draft, 154 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: I at least had a decent quarterback option if I 155 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: wanted it, And I think I ended up else I take. 156 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: I think I took Tony Romo, so you know, I 157 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: ended up being okay at the quarterback spot. But no, 158 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't think it's it's ridiculous 159 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: to think if you're if you're looking at a quarterback 160 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: in the bottom half of that that QB one range, 161 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: that you do come back a little bit earlier and 162 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: get yourself a solid number two quarterback. And I think 163 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: that is where the depth at the position really helps. 164 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: It's not so much that you can necessarily wait lately 165 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: wait to get a quarterback, which you can, but I 166 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: think it helps the fact that if you get a 167 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: starting quarterback that you're not sure about that borderline, you 168 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: can come right back and find a guy who can 169 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: still give you good production. If your first guy slumps 170 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: or gets injured or what have you. You could definitely 171 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: wait to have Seeing Oblivion because that's been on HBO. 172 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: I know now I feel bad that I spent my 173 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: money into see it in the actually is the gift card, 174 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: so it was okay, I'm sorry you already took this 175 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: off Listen Oblivion and Pitch Perfect are the pitch Perfect 176 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: I watched that all the time. My five year old 177 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: daughter loves the Bellas song. At the end, she knows 178 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: a lot of the words. The beginning, We do the 179 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: whole thing. You know, everybody's got a prize. You know, 180 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: the sale comes first and the truth comes second. She 181 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: loves it. Dad, I want to watch the Bellas. There's 182 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: a sequel in the words, it's just Banks is directing 183 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: what I understand. I can't wait for it. There you go. 184 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: I listen to the music too. We listen to music 185 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: in my car and sometimes it doesn't I don't realize 186 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: that if I'm driving to work or driving somewhere, and 187 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: I'll put the Pitch Perfect CD in and I'm listening 188 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: to it, and I'll go, yeah, I'll go I've been 189 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: listening to this for twenty minutes and there's nobody else 190 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: in the car. I can listen to something else. I 191 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: can put in Vampire Weekend if I want to and 192 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: listen to him like I can. I can go somewhere 193 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: else with my music. I just wish HBO would have 194 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: shown American Reunion a little bit more this summer. What 195 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: about Chris Johnson who hasn't been there. Well, you know, 196 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: we'll get to Chris Johnson, but first we get to 197 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning because the other core Backs, not getting a 198 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: lot of publicity in this game, doesn't really have a 199 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: lot on the line, no legacy talk, I mean, just 200 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: kind of playing in the game and you know, not 201 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: really getting a lot of attention coming off the season 202 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: he had last year. Where are you taking Peyton Manning? 203 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: I think Peyton Manning is probably I would probably say 204 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: he's the third, maybe fourth quarterback off the board next year. 205 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think Aaron Rodgers Drew Brees 206 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 1: are gonna be your top two. After that, it's it's 207 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: some mixture of Peyton Manning. Uh, you know, maybe Cam 208 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: Newton Andrew Luck somewhere in in that next you know, 209 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: three to five range. By the way, can I say 210 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: that this this this super Bowl seems to have been 211 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: a promotional opportunity between the city of Omaha and the 212 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: Mars Company and their fruit flavored candies. Um, this has 213 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: been a pretty pretty profitable super Bowl, Alright. Can I 214 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: just said no, I don't know how the whole Marshawn 215 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: Lynch Skittles deal out. I don't want to derail you 216 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: from Peyton Manning, but I was just thinking about this. 217 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: You know, if I don't know how it came down 218 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: that he actually got the deal with Skittles, but if 219 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: I was Marshawn's agent, here's what I do. I say, Okay, 220 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: mars Shawn, We're going to the Super Bowl. You've been 221 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: giving them free publicity for I don't know how, because 222 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: I was surprised to know that there wasn't already. They've 223 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: been getting a lot of free publicity. You're the super 224 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: Bowl now if you want to, I can call the 225 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: Mars company and say, you know, you guys have been 226 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: doing pretty well with Skittles, but we're okay with moving 227 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: to something else. Um and being Marshawn's favorite candy. Just 228 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: wanted to throw that out there. Then suddenly, oh hey, 229 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: how about a deal. We'll do some Mars Shawn Lynch 230 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: Skittles and have all this stuff and suddenly boom, now 231 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: he's got newly minted deal. That is probably I'm not 232 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: saying that's how it happened. That's how would have happened 233 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: if I was his agent. Well, when Peyton Manning gets 234 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: an all expensive trip paid to Omahaw, then you know 235 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: we'll know how these things go down. Um, they're gonna 236 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: buy him a train ticket exactly what Marshawn Lynch that 237 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: got Applebee's a little bit of publicity when they did 238 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: that whole thing on What's there to do in Buffalo 239 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: and Marshawn that's Kellen Winslow got targets some publicity. Not 240 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: not the way they want in Boston market, not not 241 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: not the way they wanted. I want to piggyback your 242 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning about where you take him. I'm popping my 243 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: mic here. Uh to to not take him at least 244 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: second is a little bit of a risk considering the 245 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: points that he put up in the fact that they're 246 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: not going to be losing any personnel next year. Well, No, 247 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: Sean Marino is a free agent, okay, I mean they 248 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: can easily just replace him with Monty I'm talking about. 249 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking about talent outside. They're not losing Decker, they're 250 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: not losing DT, and they're not losing JT. They're not 251 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: losing any of those guys. No Sean has been good 252 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: for them. But I don't think No Sean is enhancing 253 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's numbers. It's probably the other way around, right. So, uh, 254 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: you know this year when we did Fantasy Live in 255 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: the preseason, I told Molly that Peyton Manning was gonna 256 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: be the number one quarterback and Fantasy and I got 257 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: the looks because he doesn't run and because he could 258 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: get hurt. But when you have a quarterback drafted him 259 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: she drafted Yeah, she's like really number one? I said, yes, 260 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning number one. I'll tell you what. When you're 261 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: running the whole offense through the guy and he gets 262 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: the ball out as quickly as he does, I mean, 263 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about him getting hurt. How often do 264 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: you see Peyton Manning hold the ball? I see Aaron 265 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: row Ers hold the ball a lot. And and the 266 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: way he plays, even though Aaron Rodgers isn't taken off 267 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: running all the time, He's far more prone to get 268 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: hurt in my mind than Peyton Manning is he is, 269 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: and and Rogers has also had his share of offensive 270 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: line problems over the last couple of years. I mean 271 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: he has. For a guy who's as mobile as he is, 272 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: he still takes a lot of hits. He's been under 273 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. I think the way I look 274 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: at Manning is that he takes a step back in 275 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: the sense that he had arguably the greatest quarterback season 276 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: ever in the history of the schedule. Too. Yeah, and 277 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, I think next year he can still be 278 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: very good. I mean, he can still be a guy 279 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: who throws for five thousand yards and he can still throw, 280 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, thirty thirty five touchdowns. But I think there 281 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: will be a step back, and look, Peyton Manning will 282 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: take a step back, and Peyton Manning is still better 283 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: than a hundred percent of plenty of guys out there. 284 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: I just think he he drops a little bit because 285 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: it's hard to expect him to duplicate what he did. Certainly, 286 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: and the Chargers and Raiders defense stunk mostly this year. 287 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: The Chief's defense got worse late in the season. The 288 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: a f C S played the NFC East Redskins, Giants, Eagles, 289 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: and Cowboys. None of those teams were playing defense. And 290 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: that's who Peyton Manning got to play this year. Whoever 291 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: he I don't remember who the f C West plays 292 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: next year. As far as the NFC division, it's not 293 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: gonna be as easy as playing the NFC East was. 294 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: Plus I also think I think what what you will 295 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: see in the Super Bowl could impact how teams defend 296 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: the Broncos going forward. I mean, we know that the 297 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: Seahawks are gonna try to be physical. They're gonna try 298 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: and really hit these guys, especially off the line of scriminatation. 299 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: The league to play in cold Weather Stadium that too, 300 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: you know. I mean I think back about about the 301 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: way the Patriots man handled the Rams in the Super 302 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: Bowl and how going forward, that's what a lot of 303 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: teams did against that Greatest Show on Turf. I mean, 304 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: they got up on Tory Holt and Isaac Bruce. Video 305 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: and being Peyton Manning and practice that's always a key. Yes, 306 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: So if you can somehow get to it with a 307 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: Duve Ranch or wherever and the and check them out 308 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: ahead of time, I'm you know, we have no proof, 309 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: but it's all gone. I mean, I think, you know, 310 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna spend this offseason trying to dissect what they did. 311 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of teams are going to 312 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: really change their approach of defending this office. And they're 313 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: still gonna score a ton of points. Peyton Manning, I think, 314 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: is still gonna throw, like I said, five thousand yards 315 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: thirty thirty five touchdowns. But people will find a way 316 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: to prevent them from putting up those video games. I mean, 317 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: the Chargers did a pretty good job of it all 318 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: season long two of preventing them from having those video 319 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: game numbers weekend and week That's true as bad as 320 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers played at times. They played Denver really well. 321 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: Where would you take Peyton? I I would go Peyton 322 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: over Aaron Rodgers simply for the fact that Eddie Lacy 323 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: is not going away. And suddenly they finally have a 324 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: running back. And you know what the Packers are gonna 325 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: be thinking in this offseason. Okay, now we have our 326 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: quarterback back healthy, we have to start running back. Now 327 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: we can, we can have more of a balanced attack, 328 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: almost like the Colts thought this year when they got 329 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: Trent Richardson, this is how we're gonna win. You know, 330 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: we were, we were. It was great for us to 331 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: pass our way to the Super Bowl. But if we 332 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: don't have home field advantage, we're gonna have to be 333 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: able to run the football. So now you're gonna see 334 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: a little more of a balanced offense. Someone who can 335 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: carry the football five times a game. So with that 336 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: reliance and Eddie Lacy, he's gonna at goal line carries. 337 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: He's a three down back. He doesn't have to come 338 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: off the field. They still like subbing in James Starks. 339 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: Not that all of a sudden Aaron Rodgers is falling 340 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: to twelve. But if I'm splitting hairs between Rogers and 341 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: Payton Manning. I might go for Peyton Manning simply because 342 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: you know he's always going to throw the football in 343 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: especially they lose. No Sean Marino, that's gonna be a 344 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: complimentary guy. Maybe they'll bring Willis make Aye back. Why 345 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: maybe maybe Gerald will hit will be able to come 346 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: back and run a little back flips. Yeah, sure, I 347 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: love the number for Jerald will very nice. Elliot Harrison. 348 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: All right, now we can get to Chris Johnson. Some 349 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: of the big news items going on this week in 350 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: the National Football Leage, how they affect your fantasy off 351 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: season surgery for a torn meniscus. He says, I was 352 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: playing with it since Week three. Still ran for a 353 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: thousand yards. It was more consistent than he was in 354 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: years past. Didn't have many games where he had twelve 355 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: carries for twenty five yards. He was still seventy a lot, 356 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: but still not the Chris Johnson we were used to, 357 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: where you drafting Chris Johnson, Well, there's no way I 358 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: take him in the first two rounds. I can't do it. 359 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: I have the third round would be as as early 360 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: as I go for him, and I don't want to say, 361 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: he's getting up there in years, but we have to 362 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: remember what Johnson came into the league in two thousand 363 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: and eight. He's had a lot of carries. I mean, 364 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: he was a workhorse even his rookie year. This is 365 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: gonna be his seventh year in the league. This may 366 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: not be the year he hits the wall, but if 367 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: he did hit a little bit of more of a wall, 368 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me. But haven't we seen the best 369 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: of him? He will have two thousand nine again. But 370 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: even but even if I don't know that we've seen him, 371 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to see him get close. Is 372 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: he gonna have a yard season again? That's not gonna happen. No, No, 373 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: And I think the other issue with him is that 374 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: he has never been a goal line back. I mean, 375 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: the the Titans would always take him out near the 376 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: gold line. So he's that guy that if he doesn't 377 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: break off a yard touchdown run, he probably doesn't get 378 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: in the end zone for you. And so obviously I 379 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: don't expect to see him back in Tennessee next year. 380 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: He's already said he's not going to take a pay 381 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: cut to to stay anywhere, So that means he's going 382 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: to hit the open market. Now. I think he ended 383 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: up taking a pay cut because I don't think, heybody's 384 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: going to want to pay him what he thinks he's worth. 385 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: But I think he ends up in a situation where 386 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: he's platooning. Maybe he's back in Tennessee and he's sharing 387 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: touches with Shawn Green. Maybe he goes somewhere else, but 388 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: he's not going to be a primary, get the ball 389 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: twenty five times a game sort of back. It's just 390 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: it's over. Let me throw this one thing out. Though 391 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: they hired Ken wizzen Hunt, I mean, who used their 392 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: running backs better than the Chargers this year? I mean, really, 393 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews was outstanding this year and he only played 394 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: first and second down. Yeah, Danny Woodhead was outstand What 395 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: Danny woodhad caught seventy something balls, Ryan Matthews had what 396 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: yards rushing? Uh? Danny Woodhead had some yard rushing yards 397 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: as well, and then even Ronnie Brown. Uh they got 398 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: involved in. Maybe not from a fantasy perspective, but what 399 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying is Ken wizzen Hunt was able to use 400 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: as offensive coordinator his backs. Don't think he's all of 401 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: a sudden gonna diverge from that in Tennessee. So that 402 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: is one thing that I like for Chris Johnson. I mean, 403 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: come on, how many people had faith and Ryan Matthews 404 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: coming into nobody had to wait for everybody to lose 405 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: faith in him. And the free agent signing that people 406 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: cared about in San Diego was not Danny Woodhead. It 407 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: was Dwight Freeney. So you know, you look back now 408 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, what what was a better free 409 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: agent signing than than Danny Woodhead? It was. It was 410 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: huge and the guy he played a little bit on 411 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: first and second down but not much. But it's crazy 412 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: to see how productive they all were in Philip Rivers 413 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: was able to have a top seven year throwing the football. 414 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: This was This is why Ken Wizzenan got the job 415 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: because he came in he revitalized the offense. He remade 416 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, which is always a dangerous thing when an 417 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator comes in who you know wants to be 418 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: a head coach. Sometimes that can work great and sometimes 419 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: it camp. Sometimes they throw throw the ball around too much, 420 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: and he didn't do that. But would you take Ryan 421 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: Matthews over Chris Johnson. I wouldn't take either player. I'm 422 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: still because a minute I take Ryan Matthews, He's going 423 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: to be the same guy he was up until this season. Yeah, 424 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: that's it. I'm never again. There are a couple of 425 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: guys that I think are worth taking a chance on nature. 426 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: I think Ryan Matthews is one. I think I think 427 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: Trent Richardson's another one. I'm I'm I'm planning the flag 428 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: for Trent Richardson right now. I'm gonna love that year. 429 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. I would not advise taking both 430 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: of them. If you're taking if you're taking, look, you 431 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: can't have room for both of these. If you're taking 432 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: a couple of chances, you know you take one or 433 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: the other. I don't know that you take two risky 434 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: guys and hope they both pan out. But I like 435 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: I like that Ryan Matthews stayed healthy, and I like 436 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: that he didn't fumble the football because those are his 437 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: two buckle booze. I'll tell you what we need to 438 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: get your fantasy team next year needs to be risky business. 439 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: We weedo the pimp as the avatar for it from 440 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: from the movie r G three. Ryan Matthews Richard cc 441 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: har Danny am Percy Harvin. This will be my whole 442 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: team next year. Would take Leo Jones coming off injury. 443 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: I should be studying for my Trigg mid term and 444 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm being chased by Marcus Booker. That was what was armstrong? Yeah, yeah, 445 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: that's right. That's so. Now we have a very special 446 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: guest to welcome in here. We're gonna talk about a 447 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: big news for the Dallas Cowboys. Scott Linehan is now 448 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: their new play caller. Actually showed up in Cowboys headquarters 449 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: for what he thought was gonna be just to get 450 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: to know you on Monday, and instead wound up sitting 451 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: in interviews, which is pretty great. Marcus, you come in 452 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: and go, you know, I like this guy. Hey, why 453 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: don't you sit in on some interviews? But I don't 454 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: have a just said all right, yeah here, okay, Well 455 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: we'll start, you know, getting some stuff ready. But fake 456 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is stopping by to talk about Scott Lindhan, 457 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: how it happened, and the fantasy value he's gonna have 458 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: on guys like Tony Romo. Fake Jerry, thanks for stopping by, Uh, 459 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: good morning to you. So how did this all? How 460 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 1: did this all come about. You just had him in 461 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: for an interview and he wound up sitting in on meetings. Well, uh, 462 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: I've been taking some classes at the University of Phoenix 463 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: and uh been learning about this early adopters, early innovators, 464 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: that that bell curve is that what they call it. 465 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: And I myself, I'm not being a late adopter. That's 466 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: why I got Leonard Davis to a fifty million dollar contract. 467 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: So what I was trying to do here is, uh 468 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: I knew right when I saw him, I smelt that. Uh. 469 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: I think it was John Varvados. When he came in 470 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: for the meeting, I knew he was a talented guy. 471 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: And uh, I thought, I'm gonna get out in front 472 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: of this. I'm gonna hire him before I even offer 473 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: him the job, you see. And that's what I've been 474 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: learning in my classes. And uh they say you're never 475 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: too old to go to school. Jason and I, Uh 476 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: it was between that and Davry and uh, I went 477 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: with the university finished. But I'm gonna tell you, we're 478 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: gonna confuse the opposition. Now, we might confuse ourselves, but 479 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna confuse the opposition. We're gonna have Callahan called 480 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: plays up in the box. Okay, then he's gonna signal 481 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: it down to Lenahan on the sideline standing next to me, okay, 482 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: and then Lenahan is gonna sign a lending to Orton, 483 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: who's gonna tell Garrett what the play calls. And if 484 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: we can get that down in twenty five seconds, for 485 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: almost gonna himself a hell of a play, that's it's 486 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: almost kind of like Chip Kelly sk right there, fake Jerry. 487 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty good strategy. I gotta say 488 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: I have a certain amount of admiration for Kelly. He 489 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: came in and he pushed the play count up, you know, 490 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, that really tires out defenses, namely 491 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: hours And I almost called Alan Ball back to see 492 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: if he wanted to come back in the Broadney pool. 493 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: Some of the other good personnel decisions that I've made 494 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: over the years, Keith Davis. But so I saw what 495 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: Kelly didn't. I thought, Okay, if he can exhaust him 496 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: with the Shawn and the Shawn Marcus, I thought we 497 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: could exhaust him with all of our play calling, because 498 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: if they're trying to steal signals, okay, imagine how tired 499 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: your eyes would get trying to watch Callahan. And I 500 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: tell you this is a very valuable lesson I learned 501 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: in this business, uh about twelve years ago from Dave Campo. 502 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: Confuse yourselves and you might confuse the opposition. That's the 503 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: words of wisdom from fake Jerry Jones. Marcus agree or 504 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: disagree with that philosophy. I agree that they may confuse themselves. 505 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: You know, I know that the Cowboys try to think 506 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: outside the box and they want to try to do 507 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: something innovative. But this just seems like a disaster waiting 508 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: to happen. I mean, you've got but a couple of 509 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: years ago you had Jason Garrett calling plays. Then last 510 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: year it was Bill Callahan calling plays. Now you've brought 511 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: in Scott Linahan to call the plays. But they don't 512 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: seem interested in letting Callahan go, saying he's under contract. 513 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: We don't see him going anywhere, even though other teams 514 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: have expressed interest and maybe trying to interview him. Um. 515 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: I I think individually, each one of these guys aren't 516 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: terrible play callers. I just wonder how they all meshed together, 517 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: whether or not they have a coherent vision for what 518 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: they see out of the offense this year. What this 519 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: means for DeMarco Murray, What this means for you know, 520 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: Romo and Dez Bryant. No sort of guy. Okay, listen. 521 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: I always believe that you have to know where you stand, Okay. 522 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: And I knew that we fell woefully behind in one 523 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: area and it wasn't our defense. I thought money money 524 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: Kiffen did a bang up job. We we fell woefully 525 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: behind in one area of Marcus and I was determined, motivated, 526 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: he fired up about this, and that is who could 527 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: more inconsistently go to their running game than us? And 528 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: I could only think of one team, the Detroit lines. 529 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: I mean, no team sat Jork Bell after he just 530 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: ripped off a twenty yard run, you know, and no 531 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: team went to Megatron twenty two straight throws back the lines. Okay, So, 532 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: so you're saying I should get this Bryant early in 533 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: my I think you should draft that Chris Drham kid. 534 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: What's the outside? Uh so? Uh? I can't even look 535 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: at me when you do. You fake Jerry, when you 536 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: hit me with that, it wasn't our defense. I think 537 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: I was just over the ledge right there, all right? Well, 538 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: fake Jerry. I appreciate you stopping by and thanks for 539 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: all the inside information and look forward to talking to 540 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: you as soon. I appreciate that. I just want to 541 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: let all you guys know, if you want to come 542 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: down to Cowboys Stadium, we're gonna be showing uh the 543 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: Hobbit Desolation of style on the vision board and then uh, 544 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: when we're done, Marcus, if you like to invite you 545 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: and the nice girlfriend I met, uh come catch some 546 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: fifteen yard outs from the true Cowboys legend, Anthony rot 547 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: Last year was Quincy Carter. He's not coming back now. 548 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: We uh we we let his aunt go. All right, Well, 549 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: Fake Jerry, thank you very much and good luck with 550 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: the hobbit tired act. He was all right than well, 551 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: you know what you know, Fake Jerry Jones, Marcus is 552 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: is nothing if not entertaining. Man. That's a that's a classic. 553 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: Now we welcome Elliot Harrison back in. Because fake Jerry 554 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: had his headset so Elliott, he said he let Quincy 555 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: Carter's act go. Huh, yeah he did let him go. Yeah, 556 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Merry. Quincy Carter had a little 557 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: cup of coffee with the Jets. He did one a 558 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: couple of games. Yeah, Quincy Carter. He beat the beat 559 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. I believed ten seven was the final 560 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: score and nearly beat the Bills. So that was that's 561 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: Quincy Carters. Uh, that's his status with the are We're 562 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: heading into another fantasy off season, so to speak, with 563 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: no skill positions on the Jets being worth a dime. 564 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I disagree. I think Chris, you're gonna say 565 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: Christ he didn't get hurt, and I know we're playing 566 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: ifs here, but he got He got hurt in training 567 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: camp and he really never got over that hamstring injury 568 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: until midway through the season. But then you saw he 569 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: became a guy that they were loading him up. Carries 570 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: thirty carries a game, and he was just bludgeoning opponents, 571 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: and the Jets realized, we have a nice one to 572 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: punch with Ivory and ball Powell. But Ivory we have 573 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,239 Speaker 1: to keep give him the football because this is what 574 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: makes him valuable. Nobody wants to tackle him. He he 575 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: hits defenders harder than any running back in the in 576 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: the game. He's healthy, He's a twelve to fourte yard 577 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: running backh was gonna get all the goal line carries 578 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: he's a stud going in the next year, and you 579 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: can get him later because people will look at this 580 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: year and go, yeah, he was good, but I thought 581 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: he was gonna break through this year, so I can 582 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: wait on him. You can get him as your second 583 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: running back, maybe even as that fifth player you get 584 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: off the board, you get your first two running backs, 585 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: first two wide receivers. You'll get him there. He's healthy, 586 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: He's gonna be huge for you this right, So take that, Marcus. 587 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: Would you draft Ivory over Trent Richardson? Mm hmm. That's 588 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: a tough call. That really is a tough call. I 589 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: probably would, just because he's going to get carries more consistently. Um, 590 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, and I look, I need The cults are 591 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: going to give Trent Richardson every opportunity because they gave 592 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: up so much to it. Didn't already, but they gave 593 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: up so mean, you know, halfway through this year, they realized, 594 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: you know what we're winning, Let's just keep giving the 595 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: ball to Donald Brown because you know this is going 596 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,239 Speaker 1: to help us out. I think they're going to give 597 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: him every opportunity. But at the same time they realize 598 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: that Andrew Luck is where their bread is buttered offensively 599 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: that if they can keep the ball in Andrew Luck's 600 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: hands and have him distribute, Reggie Wayne will be back 601 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: in healthy. T Y Hilton will still be there. Kobe 602 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: Fleaner really picked things up this year. So I think 603 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: that is where the focus of the offense is going 604 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: to be. Um. I think Trent Richardson will get chances 605 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: to produce, but I also think that it will be 606 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: it will be Chris Ivory who more consistently will see 607 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: a lot of Carrey. He can be a twenty plus 608 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: carry guy every week. Were you ready for a little 609 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: deep sleeper? Alright, deep deep sleeper. People are gonna forget 610 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: about Dayne Allen completely forget about him, you know. I 611 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: I thought about that, and I'm trying to figure out. 612 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see what happens with that if 613 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,719 Speaker 1: if having the year away kind of puts him behind 614 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: Fleaner in terms of just working with Andrew Luck. Yeah, 615 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: I thought Fleaner was gonna be the better of the 616 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: two when they were drafted, just because of that connection 617 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: at Stanford, having worked with Luck at Stanford, and so 618 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised to see Allen take the 619 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: lead there and I wonder if having that year away 620 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: puts him a step back. It would be interesting. I'm 621 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: just I'm thinking last round kind of guy, last round 622 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: of the draft kind of guy. I got another sleep 623 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: before you're ready? Didny test of Ardie. Someone's gonna sign him. 624 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: He's gonna come back and throw a lot of deep touchdowns. Yeah, 625 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: he probably still has the arm strength for it. Still 626 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: can I'm sure you can. I think Bill Parcel said 627 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: at sixty he would still be able to throw a 628 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: fourteen yard out. We're almost there, but let's get to 629 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: another quarterback that there's gonna be a lot of attention on. 630 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: And we saw the Houston Texans, A couple of Texas 631 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: A and m Alum's put up a big billboard in 632 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: Houston urging the Texans to take Johnny Manziel number one 633 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: overall when it comes down to the draft. When he 634 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: gets down to it, I don't think you cannot take 635 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: him number one overall, just because of the skill set 636 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: he has. Its unique could win a lot of football games. Certainly, 637 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: the Texans are in the mode for for a quarterback, 638 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: but Manzel is the latest guy to come in in 639 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,719 Speaker 1: in the same mold as R. G. Three and Russell 640 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: Wilson and Colin Kaepernick. John Manzel goes very early in draft. 641 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna go to a team that's gonna make him 642 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: the quarterback right away. You drafting him as a backup. 643 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: Can you draft Johnny Manzel and say, I'm going with 644 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: my strategy and whoever my starter is, I'm gonna back 645 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: him up and try to catch lightning in a bottle? Wow? 646 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: You know, if I had a really reliable number one, 647 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: like a Drew Brees, sure I would do it because 648 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: Drew Brees doesn't get hurt. And if if man'zelle ends 649 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: up having a breakout year like r G three did 650 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: in then think about the trade bait that you have there. 651 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: Somebody's trying to make their playoff run, and then you 652 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: pick yourself up an extra running back down the stretch. Yeah, 653 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: I completely agree with that. I don't know that I 654 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 1: take Manzel if I'm looking at a borderline number one 655 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: quarterback and you go back to the Russell Wilson discussion 656 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: we had earlier. You know, if you're looking at a 657 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: guy that you're not sure about, I don't know that 658 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: I back him up with another guy you're not sure 659 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: about if you have Philip Rivers, can you back him 660 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: up with Johnny man I don't think so. I don't 661 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: think so, And you can't afford to have three quarterbacks 662 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: on your roster. If you have Andrew Luck, can you 663 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: back him up with Johnny Manzel? I don't know that 664 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: I would. I mean, I know a lot of people 665 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: like Luck. I think he's really talented, but from a 666 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, I don't know that that he's that guy 667 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: that I just feel like I can plug him in 668 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: every single weekend. Well, I can answer this question definitively 669 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: because I had Andrew Luck and I ended up sitting him. 670 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: I ended up sitting him for the last five games 671 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: because he was inconsistent. I mean, they went to Arizona, 672 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: they got hammered, and they got hammered. They played the 673 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: Rams at home, they got hammered. Uh. Andrew Luck is 674 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: a very good player. But I've got it, and I'm 675 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm straying off a little bit into a real football point, 676 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: but it's applicable to fantasy. I get a little tired 677 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: of all the praise going to Andrew Luck because he's 678 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: a very good player. But it is amazing to me 679 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: how a Philip Rivers or Tony Romo will throw one 680 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: one interception and everyone blows up Twitter. But Luck throws 681 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: three picks in the first half, gets his team down 682 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: thirty eight to ten, and then he brings him back. 683 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: One of the touchdowns was the most lucky bounce of 684 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: the bous his hands. Look, I commend the guy for 685 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: overcoming his own mistakes and winning the game, but let's 686 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: not forget they were his own mistakes. I think I 687 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: think you saw some of that criticism come up though 688 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: in the playoff game with I mean just having an 689 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: awful game Patriots, with the way that that one ended, Um, 690 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I think I think he gets 691 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: some passed because this is just his second year, you know, 692 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: and he's still developed, you know, talk about him like 693 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: he's the top five NFL quarter yea, well, not many 694 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: guys can keep both teams in the game, like that's 695 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: a special talent. He's got eight interceptions in three playoffs. 696 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: But I do think I do think that was a 697 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: lot of the criticism after that game against the Patriots. 698 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: I mean just reading some of the local papers in 699 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: indian in Indianapolis after that game, Um, you know, guys 700 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: like Bob Kravitz, you know, certainly were very uh, they 701 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: were kind to to Andrew look, but there was there 702 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: was that undercurrent of he's got to learn to curb 703 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: the turnovers. He's got to make better decisions earlier in 704 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: the game. That way he doesn't have to be captain. 705 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: Comeback at the year exactly. Or the Amish sex symbol, 706 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: the Civil War general. The Amish sex symbol is pretty like, 707 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. John's thinking what the poster would be books, 708 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: and then he gets hit with a bunch of milk. 709 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: So you've got you have Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Amish rifle. 710 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: And Andrew looked the Amish sex symbol. And then Danny 711 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: Glover is a bad guy in Witness. He's never a 712 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: bad that's true. You know, my my, sorry spoiler alert, 713 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: the movie came out, Sorry I spoiled it five years later. 714 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: My cousin has kind of like long curly gray hair 715 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: and a mustache, kind of a handsome guy. He works 716 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: for one of the airlines and someone on the plane 717 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: asked him if if he was one of those Civil 718 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: War reenactors, really civil War reenactor. You need to change alright, 719 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: one more topic before we get to the our big 720 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl picks for the coming weekend. Tony Gonzalez played 721 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: his final game in the Pro Bowl on Sunday, and 722 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: whether or not you believe the last play was Antonio 723 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: Carmarti scoring a touchdown or not Tony Gonzalez hanging him up. 724 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: Falcon's offense has been automatic the last few years, as 725 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: long as they've been healthy. Roddy White has been a 726 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: high draft pick. So is Julio Jones. Matt Ryan's been 727 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: a high draft pick the last couple of years. But 728 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: now there's no Tony Gonzalez, and ever you replace him with, 729 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be him. You concerned about the weapons 730 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: the Falcons have going in the next year without this big, 731 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: big time receiver, they have absolutely absolutely the Falcons to me, uh, 732 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: you know, from a fantasy perspective, Matt Ryan may have 733 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: to throw it all over the park, which in theory 734 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: is a good thing. But Roddy White I saw signs 735 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: of him slowing down this year, and Roddy White next year. 736 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: I believe it will be his tenth season in the league. 737 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing, right, Yeah, yeah. Julio Jones coming 738 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: back from a major injury Okay, so we don't know 739 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen there. Okay, Stephen Jackson, I know you're 740 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: big on Stephen Jackson, and I busted you. Repeat, not 741 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: as big as Adam Rank, but I would rank. Okay, 742 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: and uh ja Quiz Rodgers. I mean, I think we 743 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: we know what we're getting there. Okay, Yeah, you look 744 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: at all the way across and by the way their 745 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: offensive line. I don't know if you saw the last 746 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: game they played against the Panthers. I believe the Panthers 747 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: got eight or nine sacks in that game. Uh, there's 748 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: nothing to trust about Atlanta's offense right now. I think 749 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is a quarterback that you could get very 750 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: very late and might be a good play only because 751 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna probably be behind more than they were in 752 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: the past. I'm not talking about this this last year 753 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: and the fact that I don't trust the running game 754 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: at all. It's a Mark Boulger theory. It was you 755 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: that was what made Mark made Mark Boulger kind of 756 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: a good fantasy quarterback at that point in his career 757 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: because the Rams are behind, and you knew, Boulger, we're 758 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to throw it forty times in the second half. 759 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: I the one thing that would give me a little 760 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: bit of hope about the Falcons passing game is that 761 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: they discovered Harry Douglas during the season last year when 762 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: Julio Jones went down when Roddie White was struggling with injury, 763 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: Harry Douglas stepped up and played well for stretches, and 764 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: I think he could be a good third receiver for them. 765 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: I think he can be a guy who who makes 766 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: plays out of the slot, sort of like a Victor 767 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: Cruz for that offense. Um what worries me, maybe more 768 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: than Tony Gonzala is retiring, is the fact that Stephen 769 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: Jackson is it nearly the same guy he was when 770 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: he was with St. Louis that that he's a guy 771 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: who I think they were hoping. I think they were 772 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: hoping they could get a couple more quality years out 773 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 1: of him at the end of his career. He could 774 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 1: be that extra piece that got them over the top. 775 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: Now they've lost Gonzalez, Stephen Jackson is just looking like 776 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: he's on the wrong side of thirty at this point. 777 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: Jaquiz Rodgers has never become the player I thought he 778 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: would be coming out of Oregon State. I thought he 779 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: could be kind of a Darren Sprowls, and it just 780 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: it hasn't completely worked out that way. Um, So there 781 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: are questions. There are definitely questions in the Vatkins offense, 782 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: and I think I think that is what makes Matt 783 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 1: Ryan kind of a middle of the pack number two 784 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback for me. Matt Ryan certainly has a potential 785 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: for thirty to thirty five touchdowns. But can I trust 786 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,720 Speaker 1: him now? I can't because I can't trust Roddy White 787 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: coming off this season. You could you could never play 788 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 1: him because he was in and out of the lineup. 789 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: He started catching footballs at the end of the year 790 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: and that's great. But you're starting to see a little 791 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: bit of pattern emerge with Roddy White. Julio Jones. I'm 792 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: all in on when he comes back because someone's got 793 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: to catch ninetyr touchdowns and it's gonna be Julio Jones. 794 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 1: But as far as the Falcons, it was you were 795 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: taking all of these guys and you were draft him 796 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: high and you were playing all of them. Now, out 797 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: of out of all all of those big players, Julio 798 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 1: Jones is the only guy I trust. I didn't trust 799 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: even Jackson coming into the season because we had seen 800 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: the best and I know it was We're gonna put 801 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 1: him in this offense and things are gonna be great. 802 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: But Quiz Rodgers is gonna be on the field. He 803 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: was only going to carry the football. A couple of 804 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: times he got hurt, couldn't get back. He's had a 805 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: lot of carries. But now it's gone from everybody load 806 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: up on Falcons to Julio Jones and other guys. If 807 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: I have Matt Ryan is my backup, I'm okay. If 808 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: I have Roddy White is my third receiver, I'm all right. 809 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: I'm still a little nervous, but I'm okay with him 810 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 1: as my third receiver. I gotta tell you about Harry 811 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,280 Speaker 1: Harry Douglas. So, Harry Douglas was one of those guys 812 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: this year that really made me re evaluate myself. I 813 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: I picked him up off the waiver wire. I thought, man, 814 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm the man. I'm gonna kill Grant Smith and Fabs. 815 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna waste them. This is a brilliant pick up. 816 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 1: Here's the problem about waiver wire pickups like that, you 817 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: got a no win to play him every time. I 818 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: played him. He caught three balls for forty one yards. 819 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: And it's the most ridiculous thing ever. I hated Harry 820 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: doesn't Oh. I had the same thing with Riley Cooper. 821 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna put him in. He's gonna and 822 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: then right after he had that big game, he was 823 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 1: nothing that I think his best game was like eight 824 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 1: point nine points. And I'm saying Riley Cooper, just luckily 825 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: I had death. I didn't have to play him, but 826 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: I was like, I got Riley Cooper, Yeah, patting myself 827 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: on the back. I got him early enough, and then 828 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: he just did nothing. That's because we did it too simple. 829 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: We should have gone with fake Jerry's advice, which is 830 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,879 Speaker 1: to overthink everything and make it overly complex and try 831 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: to confuse the son by that logic, picking up Jason 832 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: Avant here, throwing him in there. Right. All right, let's 833 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: get to our Super Bowl picks here now, in case 834 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,399 Speaker 1: you out, no, no, there's a big game Sunday. Uh. 835 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,479 Speaker 1: The Jets are playing in their home stadium. Geno Smith 836 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: gets him to the Super Bowl against the Cowboys. So 837 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big game as long as when 838 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: I fly in Virgin America, everything will be fun. Hey, 839 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 1: he's allowed to fly, you know, he's okay. Now, we're 840 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to see one of those John Gruden commercials 841 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: during the Super Bowl where they're showing Houston gamblers at 842 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 1: l A Express highlights because they don't want to highlights. 843 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: I just wondering, is that Jim Kelly? I think, Wow, 844 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: he looks young Jim Kelly. Al Right, here we go. 845 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,919 Speaker 1: So he wants to go first Super Bowl pick. Let's go, Marcus, 846 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: Let's go with you for a Super Bowl pla. You 847 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: know what I think. I think the Broncos will win it. Um. 848 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: I think it will be a relatively low scoring affair. 849 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you see Denver planning out twenty 850 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: something like that. I just think for all the talk 851 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: about how good the Broncos offense has been and how 852 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: good the Seahawks defense has been, I think we've kind 853 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: of overlooked how well the Broncos defense has played in 854 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,399 Speaker 1: the postseason. I mean, I think they've had a very 855 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,800 Speaker 1: good playoff run. I mean, I know the Charger's offense 856 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: isn't necessarily anything to write home about, but they certainly 857 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: locked down on the on the Chargers, they slowed down 858 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and that Patriot offense. I think the Broncos 859 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: defense has really has found itself at the right time, 860 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: and and they're going up against the Seattle offense that 861 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: has been inconsistent, to say the least over the last 862 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 1: couple of months. I agree with that. You know, I've 863 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: been writing the NFL dot Com picks all season. They 864 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 1: come out on Thursday, so I'll be going into this 865 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: game right now. I see Seattle winning the game, but 866 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm I'm really depending a lot of that on the conditions. Uh, Sunday. 867 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: I just feel like the conditions are more conducive to 868 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,359 Speaker 1: Seattle because the style of offense they play. How often 869 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,720 Speaker 1: did they ask Russell Wilson to change plays at the line. 870 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: Not as much Peyton Manning changes every play at the 871 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: line or gives out. And that's great. But when the 872 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: weather cans are bad and and it's loud, I want 873 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 1: the team that is committed to running the football, and 874 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: that's the Seattle Seahawks. And I like Russell Wilson being 875 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: able to run out of the pocket. Uh. If the 876 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 1: weather conditions are poor, you know how well is Peyton 877 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: man is gonna be able to throw the football? I mean, 878 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: if he can't throw the football as well as he 879 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 1: normally does, does Denver have the defense and no Sean 880 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,800 Speaker 1: Marino is that good enough to beat Seattle. It's probably 881 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: a good thing for Peyton that this game isn't in 882 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,760 Speaker 1: Seattle where they have to deal with that crowd noise, 883 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: where all of his gyrations and I mean we know 884 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: a lot of it is is just for show anyway, 885 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: but without having to deal with that crowd noise, I 886 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: mean that takes out a lot. But the crowd is 887 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: not gonna quiet I don't. I mean the Charger game 888 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: was incredible to me. I mean literally it was silent 889 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,359 Speaker 1: when the Broncos were on offense. Uh, that's not gonna 890 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 1: happen to the Super Bowl. I'm not saying everyone's gonna 891 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: be rooting for the Seahawks, just saying that if they're not, 892 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: no one's gonna quiet down for him at the Super Bowl. 893 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 1: And I think that plays in the Seahawks face. I 894 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with your your points on on 895 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I don't think this is a Super Bowl 896 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: that is conducive to Peyton Manning having success. I can 897 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 1: see him turning it over two or three times in 898 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: the game. Here's the one thing that worries me about 899 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. And now you go back in games in 900 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,359 Speaker 1: Super Bowls Pass and you see this. The Seahawks are 901 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: supremely confident, which you have to be. You're going in, 902 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: we're playing away game, We're gonna we're gonna win. They're 903 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: supremely confident. But are they confident to the point where 904 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: they're arrogance is not going to allow them to adjust 905 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 1: when Denver starts doing things they're not accounting for. Because 906 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 1: we see that in games, we're we're gonna we're gonna 907 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: go out and we're gonna do our thing, and then 908 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 1: the minute the other team does something that either you 909 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: don't expect or they get a little bit of successful 910 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: instead of hunkering down, it's finger pointing and it's what 911 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's what were you doing on that play? 912 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: And I want to watch the body language of the Seahawks. 913 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: That's the one thing that gets me is that are 914 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: they too confident coming in thinking we have a good 915 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: game plan, we know what we're gonna do, we know 916 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: what we'd like to do, We're gonna go do our thing. 917 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: And the Broncos, meanwhile, they're sitting back and saying, well, 918 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 1: they're gonna expect us to do this, and we're gonna 919 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 1: give him this. You know, the Broncos. That the type 920 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: of of challenge that Peyton Manning brings you. And that's 921 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: what I worry about that Peyton Manning finds whether it's 922 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,479 Speaker 1: we're gonna do three step drops and complete passes short, 923 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: whether we're not going to challenge the outside cornerbacks, but 924 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,439 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Welker and Julius Thomas over the middle 925 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: that are gonna have a field day because they're gonna 926 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: get open against the Seahawks third and fourth cornerbacks and 927 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 1: the Seahawks aren't gonna be able to adjust, and when 928 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: they adjust, then Peyton Manning is able to go deep. 929 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: That's what worries me about the Seihoks. They have the 930 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: matchups in their favor, they have the weather in their favor, everything, 931 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: but that confidence, I wonder is it good confidence or 932 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: is this over the top arrogance. That's and that's fair. 933 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're gonna have trouble with Julius Thomas, 934 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 1: I really do. I saw in the preseason Denver went 935 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: and played out there and they couldn't cover Julius Thomas. Now, granted, 936 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 1: nobody knew who he was, including us. Okay, but you 937 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: know we're all talking about Jacob Tammy. I think around then, uh, 938 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: and I worry about Seattle's offensive line. I mean, how 939 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: many times have we seen Russell Wilson do these fifty 940 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 1: five step drops. He keeps getting deeper and deeper and deeper, 941 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: either because he can't see over the line. Great in 942 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 1: tech mobowl, not so much in Yeah. And you know, look, 943 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: he has got to realize when it's not there. This 944 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: is not a regular game. This is all the way out. 945 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: You know, I've gotta I've gotta lay it on the line. 946 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,359 Speaker 1: He needs to run more. I'd like to see him 947 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: do what Kaepernick did against his own team last week. 948 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Russell Wilson just tucking and run 949 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: and quit holding the ball trying to get something downfield. 950 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: I know it works for him sometimes, but I think 951 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: he got him in trouble more often than not against 952 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: the Forts. You know, it's funny you talk about how 953 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,280 Speaker 1: nobody knew Julius Thomas. I'm looking at our preseason picks 954 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: right here, and you actually had Arson Mobile as a 955 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: sleeping and I was pretty surprised about that. But you 956 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: know he could, he could have a big year for you. 957 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if Isaiah Pete is still on my 958 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: sleeper and Leonard Hankerson. Yeah, those are like your two 959 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: big sleepers are always Hankerson and Isaiah. I I backed 960 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 1: off Isaiah Isaiah Pete. I was really smart. I went 961 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: Darryl Richardson. Well, that worked worked out well for you 962 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: for a long time. Arts. There we go. This is 963 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 1: our final NFL Fantasy Live podcast. We'll see you as 964 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: things developed during the offseason, free agency and the draft. 965 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: I'm Jason Smith.

Well, Jerry Jones came in, and I 970 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: think you know, fake Jerry came in that scared Fantasy Predator. 971 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: I'm just glad Bain Fantasy Bain did not make him. 972 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: I think he's doing a new movie Fantasy his Hines 973 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: Ward and that one too. Yes something Hi, he's okay. Okay, 974 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: just real quick, of all the crazy things in the 975 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,360 Speaker 1: Batman movie, hines Ward returning a kick off for a touchdown, 976 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,800 Speaker 1: he's not gonna get past the twenty yards at forty 977 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,800 Speaker 1: years old, he's gonna run it back for a touchdown. 978 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: That was that? That to me, I was kind of like, 979 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,359 Speaker 1: all right, you know, the rest of the movie was 980 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 1: perfectly logical, but hines Ward running back and kick over 981 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: that was a bridge too far. You know what else 982 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 1: was it logical? This? I was with Michael Fabiano the 983 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: other day we were watching Rocky three. Okay, so spoiler alert, 984 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: but the movie is like forty years old now. Um, 985 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, Mickey gets pushed down by Clever Lang and 986 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,720 Speaker 1: he has the heart attack, and you know he's laying 987 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: on the you know, he's laying in the locker him. 988 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 1: No doctors. It takes him like a half hour to 989 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: get a doctor. There anybody to come look at. No, 990 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: there's no doctors around. If this filled with doctors, there's 991 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: gonna be all I'm gonna do is have one guy 992 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 1: come from the ring and walk in. But no, it's 993 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: like a half hour goes by, Rocky goes fights, Mr 994 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,239 Speaker 1: T loses it, comes back, and they still don't have 995 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: him in an ambulance. And they say, they like, okay, Rocky, 996 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: you can talk to him, but we got to get 997 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: him an ambulance. So they stopped taking care of him 998 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 1: so Rocky can have that final conversation with him. And 999 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: I was like, no, oh oh, yeah, no it's too late. Yeah, 1000 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: we couldn't save him. Yeah, we let you talk to him. 1001 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,839 Speaker 1: We figured that was it, and then we couldn't save him. 1002 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: That was just because it happened. It happened the other day. 1003 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: I wanted to get that in there. I have I 1004 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: have nothing to say that. I have no response to that. Okay, 1005 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 1: all right, well you got your Kurt Warner story in. 1006 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of sad that this is the last 1007 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 1: fancy podcast. It'll be back before you know it. Yeah, 1008 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 1: we'll be back doing this again very very soon. It's yeah, 1009 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,440 Speaker 1: very good you okay, okay, with that, I am We're 1010 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 1: gonna have mock drafts. I'm sure all that. Yeah, and 1011 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: we'll do the mock auction draft for the look for 1012 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 1: the draft kit to come sometime mid to late summer. Yeah. 1013 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 1: And if you're listening right now, the mock auction draft 1014 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: is pretty cool. Auction drafts in general pretty cool, but 1015 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,320 Speaker 1: you really learn a lot about the value of guys 1016 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: by looking at what you know, what we've bid on them, 1017 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,879 Speaker 1: and how soon people win. So I think the mock 1018 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 1: auction draft is one of the coolers things that we do. 1019 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 1: But also don't forget.
