We woke you inside 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.960 studio at thirty four. This is the bff s. That 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.720 that is Frank stand for I am a rank sousman. 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:05.240 E y is here as well, gentlemen. How's it going, Greggy? 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.759 I am so pumped up. Week one is just about 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.920 here Thursday night football will be real this week. I 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.120 had my final draft last night. I will be an 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.039 auctioneer tomorrow night as well. Greg. Let's get it started 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.559 as he did that there. Huh all right, Eric Yan, 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.320 what's up man? It's a great time to be a 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:31.480 live boys. Week one is about to be on us here. Uh, 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.480 my best friend, my my my childhood best friend is 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.280 in town. Him and his wife were going on a 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.880 houseboat on Thursday. Look at again. I gotta do this again. 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.280 But I told you that Ezekiel Elliott was going to 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.960 play football. For God's sake, do yourself a favor and 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.559 start listening to us. More importantly, start listening to me. 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.880 I know what I'm doing. Didn't not guarantee it, Frank, 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.480 did I not guarantee it? He did guarantee it. He's 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:06.200 not officially signed though yet. Right officially, it looks like 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.519 just in case, just in case I would leave, I 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:12.639 was going to work. Well, you know what, e Y, 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.200 I listened to you, because last night I had my 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.040 final draft. This was a five NFC league that I 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.720 um was participating in with Constantine actually friend of the show, 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.839 front of the program. Uh, and we had six pick 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:28.120 it took Ezeki Elliott. So how about that? Nice? Nice? Yeah, 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.600 you should have gone first or second overall. But that's 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.600 that's fine. People want to be wrong. We'll rape the benefits, 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.600 won't we. I hope, So, I sure hope, so Greg, 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.240 I hope. So. I've been telling you, I've also been 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.840 on this bandwagon Ey that like, there's no reason to 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.200 be scared of of Ey. There's definitely reason to be 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.880 scared Eric, but there's no reason to be scared of 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.600 it if you don't listen to me. Exactly, there's a reason. 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:51.600 There's never reason to be scared. But because he had 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.480 nothing to gain, you said, as long as he wants right, 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.600 there was there was no end point with Melvin Gordon. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.000 You know he'll be back week ten to get that 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.440 your free agency with Zeke. He's just gonna toll. There's 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.519 nothing to do. So he has to be back week 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.840 one and he will be. He's you don't fly back 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.600 from Cabo unless you're playing man. And all indications have been. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.560 Everything we've heard this morning is yes, it's getting close. 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.560 It's about to happen. It's they're closing in on an 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.720 extension here that's gonna see him sign through six. It 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.720 was like fifteen million dollars a a V, which is 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.800 a similar amount to Todd Gurley on It's gonna be 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.919 like ninety million dollar extension total. So, uh, it looks 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.440 like it is close it. Let's get this done. Let's 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.440 get this done. So we have Ezekiel Elliott for a 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.480 week one. I understand a lot of people were pulling 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.240 Tony Pollard up the draft board, especially people who drafted 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.840 Ezekiel Elliott. I did it last night. I took Tony 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.560 Pollard in round eight. It's very high, but I felt 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.920 like it was a necessary evil. You had to protect 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.520 your investment. Craig, Yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.320 with that. There's nothing wrong with that. You'r handcuffing your guy. 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.720 Zekiel Elliott, you know has missed games before. The Dallas 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.080 is a great offense. There are a great running offensive 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.800 with a great running offensive line. There's no problem with it. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.000 Taking Tony Pollard as some security, there's no problem with that. 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.040 Drafting him higher than that is absolutely lunacy, And not 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.080 taking Zekiel Elliott in the first four players is absolutely 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.360 lunacy as well. But I got them ninth overall in 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.760 my one home league. So I'm happy that this happened 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.800 because now, I mean, there's no way and there's no 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.520 way I can lose. Absolutely absolutely. I think there you 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.480 you are in a prime position to win this. Now 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.560 draft Elliott at nine overall, um in a good spot there. 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.200 I have one more draft Tonight is my home league 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.240 draft high stakes there for me. Uh Unfortunately it's one 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.160 of my buddies screw the draft time and got thank 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:38.880 us to the US Open tonight, so we're not starting 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.320 on draft ten pm tonight ten pm. It's gonna be 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.240 a late night for Greg's Sussman. You're not used to 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.560 those usually in bed by eleven. I'm usually bed by 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.800 like eleven thirty twelve, it's probably. Oh well, then you 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.640 stop answering your text messages at ten thirty. It's not true. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.760 It's a good rule. No, it's simply not true. I 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.000 stopped answer my text messages is about eleven thirty for 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.159 sure that I'm done, all right, I'll test that out 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.000 later on in the tonight. Yes, not tonight would be 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.200 great tonight. Obviously, I'll be a week hopefully you'll be 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:07.800 a weak both of you, guys. I'll be texting you 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.240 questions that I have. Uh so, please please say we 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.280 I do have a basketball game at eight o'clock, Greig, 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.040 but I should be done by nine, should be home 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.360 by ten, So that is fantastic, ready to go and 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.320 help you at all right? And he was an hour back. 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:20.880 And I know he's got his friends in town, but 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:26.400 like you know important, Yeah, I mean friends. You mentioned 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.760 that his friend of his was a childhood best friend, 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.440 but we're like, it's real best friends forever. So I 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.320 would say that you are higher on the total pole. 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.479 I totally totally agree. Zeke's the big news, Melan Gordon. 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.200 They're not even talking contract anymore. And and what was 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.480 good as a fantasy community, we read it right, right, 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.919 Like we've kind of read this whole situation, right, Melvic 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.160 Gordon now not come back until the Korean hook comes back. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.080 Zekiel Elliott got to be there a week one. I 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.320 do have to throw this out though, e Y, you're 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.720 drafting Zeki Elliott as a top four pick, as you've 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.560 said all along this week. He's coming back today, it's Tuesday. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.640 He's not practicing tomorrow until Wednesday. Should we expect a 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:10.560 full workload of Zeque Elliott this week? I would assume 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.640 probably not the Zeke that we've come to know and love, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.600 Not that kind of workload load. I mean, look, there 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:23.239 is no replacing real reps with NFL players um in Cabo. 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.400 Like I understand that. Yeah, he was working out, he's 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.039 in shape, he's ready to go, but nothing can replace 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.960 game speed. So I mean, I believe that he will 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.320 sign this deal within the next couple of days, and 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.840 I believe he will be the starter come week one. 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.960 I have not changed my tune ever, I have not 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.680 moved him in my rankings. I did put Barkley one 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.640 above him just because of the risk of I could 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.000 be wrong. That doesn't happen very often. As we've come 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.600 to know and love, but uh, look, he's gonna play. 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.320 He's going to play week one. I guaranteed it last 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.400 week when we I did the show with Frank uh 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.920 and uh As dan By that he's going to play 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.800 Week one and he will be He's probably the best 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.000 running back in the league. He'll be fine, right, Nothing 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.120 to worry about that, I will say to this, Greg, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.680 I think Tony Pollard has done enough throughout the preseason 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.520 and throughout training camp as a rookie where he's going 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.160 to earn a role on the team. And it's not 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.200 really something we've seen before. Ezekiel Elliott has basically been 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.960 the main running back, not really splitting touches with anyone else. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.920 I think Tony Pollard has at least earned a role. 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.080 I think he probably sees five to six touches. Again, No, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.400 it's not drastic, but I think he's gonna have a role. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.920 A lot more happened over the weekend besides Ezekiel Elliott. 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.960 Let's tell you what that was next.

We got into 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.520 him being back, but that wasn't the only running back 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.440 that is well on the move here from this weekend, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:21.120 as we also saw Buffalo under the surprising thing, but 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.920 do the unexpected thing in that, honey, they've cut Lashawn McCoy. 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.040 Let's get into how to effects Buffalo in the second 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.520 Let's instead talking about Leshawn McCoy, who had who had 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.120 plenty of options where he could end up. He ultimately 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.400 decided he wanted to go play for Andy read again 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.080 in Kansas City. E y, what do you think Lashawn 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:42.880 McCoy's current value and more importantly, what about Darwin Thompson 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:47.839 and specifically Damian Williams. Yeah, Leshawn McCoy's value has the 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:52.200 skyrocket right at this point, moving to arguably the best, 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.680 the best offense for a running back. Um, I don't 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.240 see how his value could go down. Darwin Thompson is 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.000 going to take a hit. He was a guy that 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.839 was going way higher than I thought he should as 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.040 a person that had never played a snap in the NFL. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.240 But but was you know, a sneaky pick that that 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.040 could supply you with something Because of all the Damian 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.960 Williams stuff, this hurts Damian Williams. I don't care what 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.120 anyone says. He could still be the starter there, but 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:23.120 this is going I mean, best case scenario, he loses 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:24.960 ten touches a game, but I think it's gonna brought 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.840 probably be culture to a fifty fifty split. Read has 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.959 coached McCoy before. McCoy is a built for an offense 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.679 like this, even at his, uh, his advanced age. So 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.760 it's good for McCoy, bad for Williams. And I think 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.680 it's going to affect Darwin Thompson and you're not gonna 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.560 see a whole lot of him, Reggie Dorwyn Thompson has 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:50.040 obviously fallen dramatically downdraft boards with the acquisition of Lashawn McCoy. 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.160 A lot of people trying to figure out Lashaw McCoy 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.160 or Damian Williams at this point. And we've seen Damian 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.120 Williams rightfully so have his value dropped dramatically. You were 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.400 in major draft all week long, including last night what 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.800 happened with both Lea Shawn McCoy and David Williams. Who 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.080 would you rather have? I would still rather have Damian Williams, 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.280 just because he's been going through the motions the entire 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.080 off season. Now, he's obviously very familiar with this offense. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.720 Some is La Shawn McCoy, he understands the Andy Reid offense. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.400 But Damian Williams, we saw him be extremely productive last 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.920 year down the stretch. Uh, there's no doubt he takes 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.680 a hit, and last night he went four ten. And 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.880 I put out the poll before the show asking where 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.160 do people think Damian Williams should go? You know, because 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.440 there's people who still drafting, you're drafting tonight, there's people 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.400 drafting tomorrow as well, and as of now, thirty one 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.360 percent of the vote, which is a leader, says round 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.360 five for Damian Williams. And you know, I moved Damian 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.880 Williams and my rankings down to RB nineteen. I moved 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.240 the Shawn McCoy up to RB thirty five. Here's what 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.800 I'll saying. They signed Lashawn McCoy to a four million 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.040 dollar contract for one year. Three million of that guaranteed. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:59.160 He is making nine thousand dollars more guaranteed money then 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.400 Damian william this season, and he read did not bring 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.880 Lashawn McCoy in because he thinks he's washed up because 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.760 he's not going to use lesha McCoy. They're gonna use him. 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.200 And and you know, there's actually a sneaky suspicion here, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.440 Greg and he can end up leading this backfield and touches. 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.959 You know, I'm not able to move Leshawn McCoy all 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.800 the way up to like where Damian Williams was going, 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.960 or even inside like the top five or six rounds. 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:23.760 But I think once you get into like that round 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.679 seven and later range, I mean, you're gonna be hard 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.600 pressed to find a running back who has more upside 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.640 than Lashaw McCoy. I mean, you know, Ey was just 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.040 talking about Darwin Thompson, who never took a snap in 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.360 the NFL. What's going in round seven and eight of 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.360 high stakes drafts over the weekend before they signed Lashaw 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:43.040 McCoy now La Shawn McCoy, who understands this Andy read 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.840 offense and actually flash a little bit in the preseason. 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.199 I think he showed us that he can still play 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.240 a little bit. The upside is higher for Leshaw McCoy 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.640 than it was for Darwin Thompson in my opinion. So 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.320 I wouldn't drop Darwin Thompson if I drafted him, because 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.680 you still want exposure to the Chief's offense. But there 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.360 is a sneaky suspicion that le Saw McCoy can actually 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.040 overtake Damie Williams. I don't think that's crazy for anyone 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.360 who you know just took a shot on Leshaw McCoy 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.439 late in your drafts. It's like a running back of 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.080 the Buffalo Bills, like your RB five RB six, which 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:12.559 is what we got him at at in the g 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.600 SC draft. Greig, you are in love with the landing 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.760 spot obviously now with LESA. McCoy going to the Chiefs 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.640 very much so I'm beyond thrill that we have Lashaw 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.320 McCoy now on the Chiefs. That cost us ultimately nothing. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.120 I'd moved Damie Williams down farther in my rankings. I 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.120 got him all the way now is RB twenty seven. 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.199 Like I I have dropped him precipitously. Lashaw McCoy is 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.400 up to RB thirty four. Not just similar to where 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.520 you have him. Um, Like we said, if he felt 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.560 was in the fifth round, we would have taken him, 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.880 and we took Duke Johnson in that spot. So if 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.680 we were on the board Duke Johnson versus Damie Williams, 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.959 we would But like I think there's a fair argument 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.520 to be made the Lesha mcoy should go ahead of 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.960 Damian Williams. I think the argument is very reasonable. Like 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.880 it's just like, look, we saw Damie Williams perform in 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.120 this offense last year. It's not I understand we of 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.720 concerns and everyone has said this whole offseason. I understand 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.840 that people who were anti Damie Williams are doing their 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.719 victory laps right now. I get it. Whatever, that's perfectly fine. 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.200 You want to do your victory laps on September three, 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.160 that's perfectly fine. To be honest, we don't know what's 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.320 gonna happen, you know, with a lot of situations. Yes, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.360 we're we're we're making educated guesses, but based on the 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.080 money here again, I'll go back to that. They they're 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.680 not just like paying Lashawn McCoy like a backup. They're 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.080 paying him even more guaranteed money than they are Damian Williams. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:28.480 So you know he's gonna have a role. How it's 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.520 going to break down, I guess we'll see. You know, 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.319 last year, the Chief's running backs average twenty five touches 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.599 per game on a weekly basis, So I mean you 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.520 could do the math in your head. I think Garwin 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.959 Thompson probably still gets, you know, four to five touches 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.360 a week, and then that there's like twenty touches combined 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.040 for Damian Williams and Lashaw McCoy. It could just end 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.400 up being a really frustrating situation. But obviously, the fact 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.120 that Lashaw McCoy knows Andy Reid's offense and that familiarity 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.959 and you know they've worked so well together, there's a 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.720 big upside grabbing Lashaw McCoy and round seven or later 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.640 right now, or you know, even if you're playing a 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:05.400 ten team league, Los mccoin might have not been drafted totally. Sure, 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.280 you just check your waiver wire, yeah, and I go, 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.600 I follow the money ultimately that I follow the money 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.400 and I followed the logic here Loshow mccoit had options 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.840 can offer from the Chargers, Los Angeles Charges being the 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.480 obvious other option, given what Melvin Gordon um given what 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.160 Melvin Gordon's status is. And I truly don't believe Melvan 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.480 Lasha McCoy is going somewhere to be the backup. He's 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:31.480 not going somewhere despite the familiarity with Andy Reid, He's 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.040 not going somewhere where he doesn't at least he doesn't 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.640 believe he's get the majority of touches. And when it 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.560 comes to the Chargers, like there's two other guys that 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.400 they really liked. I'm sure when he met with Andy 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.800 Reid or his agent with Andy Reid and he's like, listen, 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.080 you come back to me. It's gonna work out, and 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.280 we're gonna give you four million reasons why we think 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.960 it's gonna work out. And Damian Williams a career backup, 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:54.680 and all the naysayers, like you said, who are doing 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.240 their victory laps, that's fine, good for you. I think 0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:59.800 it would be very hard for Shan McCoy to stay 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.880 on this bench for the Chiefs when I'm on the 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.320 clock tonight, it's going to be very hard for me 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.240 to see Damie Williams is the top name on my 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.880 board and ultimately pull the trigger. Like I could tell 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.280 you I had him, what would I just tell you 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.360 a nineteen or whatever? Twenty seven? I don't remember the 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.960 number I had him at. Nineteen? Right, So when I 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.720 get there and he's the next running back up, here's 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:23.880 what I have, back to back way. Do you tell 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.440 me who you'd rather have, Jamie Williams or Miles Sanders. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.480 I'd still take Jamie Waits, still would say what Da lives. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.800 I think, especially in any type of PPR format, I 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.720 feel like I could just go wide receiver. And Sam 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.920 McCoy went in this draft that I did last night, 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.520 NFC draft five dollars, So it's not it's not cheap. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:46.080 It's a high stakes draft. McCoy went eleven and that 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:47.800 was the round that I took Tony Pollard. But as 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.160 a zeke, and you know, as zeke owner, I feel 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.520 like I had to protect my investment. That's nice, that's 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.640 nice value. Yeah, it is really good value on the 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.800 Swan McCoy. You know, it's just one of those things that. 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.160 You know, it happened so close to the sea in 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.160 and you know over draft weekend where everyone is doing 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.440 you know, the large majority of drafts are being done 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.000 this past weekend and still being done today and the 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.040 rest of this week. Uh. You know, it's it's a 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.680 really interesting situation because everyone's trying to figure out where 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.320 where's McCoy gonna go. It's a very fluid situation. Like 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.280 if this would have happened a month ago, we would 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.640 have had more solidified a d P and who like, 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:23.720 you know, if it happens a month ago, sal McCoy 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.840 would have ended up being what a fifth round pick, 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.080 a sixth round pick something like that. So there is 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.400 still value to be had right now. Uh. And again, 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.240 as I keep talking about this, you know, there was 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.320 a report that came out from Brooke Prior of the 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:39.680 Kansas City Star and he expects sal McCoy quote to 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:44.040 take a large percentage of the team's backfield reps this 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.160 upcoming season. So just doubling down on that once again, 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:49.880 it's gonna be a committee. It's gonna be a committee 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.880 to be a committee, the question is who lead that committee? 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.320 Jacoby said for the Buffalo Bills, where the mcoy gone. 0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:01.400 That's opened to the opportunities for Frank Gore, the Angels one, 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.520 Devin Singletary and don't forget about my man, t j 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.879 yeldn e Y. You are the Bills guy here, Titans fan, 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.480 Bills fan. How do you see this? This running back 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:17.560 committee checking out? It's hard to believe, but Frank Gore 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:22.160 could be a starting running back in like it's it's 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.080 hard to believe, but that that could be a thing. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:29.200 I think, judging by what we've seen and the fact 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.280 that they've moved McCoy, that they're ready for this to 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:36.840 be Singletary to be his position. Um, but but we're 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.639 gonna see. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me for Frank 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.879 gorel to start and they eat Singletary and he is 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.000 a rookie more of a proven kind of situation. So 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.280 we'll see. It's gonna be interesting. Boys. I'll tell you 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:48.800 how I look at this, jof and I thought a 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.359 lot about this weekend. I'm gonna tell you how I 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.119 see the Bills factor breaking down. Frank will do the 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.639 same thing. We'll also get to Houston as well.

Obviously, four week one we will not include 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.080 the Thursday night game. It's the Sunday slate only, So 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.359 no Monday you get Monday night games either. Sad because 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.040 you know we get no Texans or Saints this week. 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:08.480 No Oakland Raiders or Denver Broncos either.

If you were in this contest 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.680 last year, you're automatically back in back in it again. 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.159 You just have to set your lineup. If your lineup 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:29.080 is not set by let's say Saturday, Sunday morning, Sunday morning. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.560 If it's not set by Sunday morning, it will be 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:33.560 booted so that we can get more people in it, 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.480 so that we can actually fill out the contest and 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.840 it runs for money. So that now we're excited about 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.040 our Fando constant week one. Grady absolutely weak. We certainly are. 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.040 And that brings us to Buffalo, where I rightly reminding me, 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.680 I predicted La Show McCoy going to Kansas City last year. 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:50.480 That was cool, that was one of the cool things. 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.840 But here's always see Buffalo bringing down and obviously anybody 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.560 jumped into you think I'm an idiot, So it certainly 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.960 seems like idiot to the naked eye. The Devons siglitary 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.240 just like U I said, most talented guy in the 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.719 U who has who Fantasy owners want to play, right, 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:06.920 Like we've seen him catch the ball, We've seen him 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:08.800 make some plays in the preseason, like, wow, this guy's 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:12.640 pretty good. Right, And there's this old grizzle veteran named 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.600 Frank Gore got standing in the way, frustrating fantasy owners. 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:18.560 But you know that he does everything right. He's a 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.360 great third down back at pass blocking, He's fantastic. Um 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:25.560 staying healthy on the field. He's a plotter, he's a 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.679 goal line guy. It's a no way your fantasy owners. 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:33.160 And you know he's gonna siphon like fifteen carries, right 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:37.600 That sound accurate per game, Frank or fifteen carries per game? Yeah, 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:39.959 I don't agree with that. I think we probably get 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:43.280 ten to twelve. I'll take the over, but fine, tender, 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:46.960 I'll say ten to fifteen. Okay. You know this situation 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:51.040 reminds me of what would that be greg two years ago, 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:57.320 where there's this old, annoying veteran name Frank Gore who 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.160 just siphoned all of these carriers from this young, an 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:04.520 up and coming guy named Marlon Mack and fantasy owners 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:07.199 were frustrated all year waiting and waiting and waiting for 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:10.199 the Colts to pull the trigger and put Mac in 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.440 there as a starter, give him more opportunities and pulled 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:17.879 back on Frank Gore. I think for those that draft 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.480 Devin Siglitary this season, you're going to find yourself in 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:24.880 the same situation. Is what Frank Gore does well isn't 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.680 fantasy football related. It's the small things that coaches love 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.200 right the past, blocking the durability franc Or is going 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.800 to be out there all the time. It's going to 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.879 take an injury to Gore, not even in effectiveness and 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.879 true injury to knock it out and get Devin si 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.400 military the amount of touches that fantasy owners are going 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:47.000 to want. And I've also said this awesommer long, let's 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:49.000 leave on teaching heil than either. He's going to have 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:54.040 a role annoyingly so in this offense, I think we 0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:56.800 got We had every right to get excited about Devon Singletary, 0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.159 but I think as we take a step back seeing 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.960 this McCoy trade, I think we got too excited on 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.080 Devin Singletary. I think it's going to be a frustratingly 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.560 annoying backfield. And I liken it. As I mentioned to 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.520 the Marlin Mac Frank Gore year from just several years ago. 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.199 That's why I see it breaking down. Frank. I mean, 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:17.880 we could just look back to last season wherever Frank 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:19.600 Gore has gone, he's been a thorn in the side 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.439 of the running back we want over last year, you 0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:24.560 know it was Kenyan Drake with the Miami Dolphins, and 0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:26.199 you know this year, I agree with you, Greg, I 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.960 think people were too bullish on Devin Singletary. As soon 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:31.040 as this news came out, you know, people talking about 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.800 taking Singletary in the fifth sixth round as a as 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:35.560 a top thirty running back. I moved him up to 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:38.879 RB thirty eight, and he's probably the most dynamic talent 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.160 now on the team in terms of someone that can 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:43.600 both run and catch the ball out of the backfield. Well, 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:45.560 let's be honest with ourselves as well. He's only five 0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:49.119 seven two pounds, so he's not built like this. You know, 0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:51.960 every down workhorse running back that I think. You know, 0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:53.960 some people, as soon as they've read this news about 0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:57.120 Lasa McCoy, are expecting him to be Frank Gore. Last year, 0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.119 as much as we want him to go away, he 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.800 averaged four point six yards per carry. He's not done yet. 0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:03.679 We saw that in the preseason as well. And I 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:05.480 like the point that you bring up about t J Yelden. 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:08.280 I just drafted t J Yelden last night, round eighteen 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.000 of a full PPR league. I mentioned this reminds me 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.800 of Miami from last year. You know, I think Singletary 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.160 can probably be like this team's Kenyan Drake, where he 0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:19.600 probably gets anywhere between ten and fifteen touches. I think 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:22.480 Frank Gore's probably between like eight and twelve touches, and 0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:24.720 then Yelden is probably getting like his five or six 0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:27.160 touches per game as well, probably most of his work 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.119 coming out of the past game. He he is the 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:30.960 best pass catcher on the team. He has two two 0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:34.240 seasons of fifty plus receptions already in his NFL career, 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:36.919 so we know that he's approven cast pass catcher. It's 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:39.400 gonna be really frustrating greg. It's an improved offensive line 0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:42.199 for the Buffalo Bills, but still not an offense that 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:44.800 we expect to be amazing. And it's a small sample. 0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:47.399 But last year when Josh Allen really took over, you know, 0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:51.080 the final month or two and took Fantasy football by storm, 0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:53.480 he did not throw the football to his running backs 0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:56.000 at all. In fact, Sawn McCoy was more effective in 0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.560 games that Josh Allen did not start last year because 0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:01.359 Josh Allen is constantly chart getting down the field. And 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.560 they bring in John Brown, and they bring in Cole Beasley, 0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:05.760 and they still have Robert Foster, and he has a Jones. 0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:08.359 You know, he's gonna look at his first second read, 0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:09.920 I want to throw the ball down the field, and 0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:11.719 if it's not there, Josh Allen is gonna take off 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:13.760 and run. He doesn't necessarily throw the ball to running back. 0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:15.600 So I am closer to you, Greg. I think that 0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:18.280 this is a really, really frustrating situation, and I think 0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:21.280 people were too bullish on Devin Singletary as soon as 0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:24.920 this news came out with USA McCoy absolutely absolutely, um way, 0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:27.840 how do you how do you shake it out? Yeah, 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:29.919 Frank I said exactly what I was gonna say. Like 0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:31.680 he's that this is the will be the third year 0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:33.680 in a row that Frank Gore has done this. You 0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:36.600 gotta respect it. I mean, freg Gore has been an 0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.520 amazing player in the NFL, has been an effective player 0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:43.600 in the NFL for what seems like forever he went there, 0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:46.320 and I mean, to me, it shouldn't have been a 0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:48.960 surprise to you. Frank Gore isn't gonna go there unless 0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.280 he's going to play, unless he was promised a position 0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:53.840 on the team. Uh, maybe not a starting job, but 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:57.000 in a position to start. And look, Buffalo Bill's welcome 0:25:57.359 --> 0:26:00.760 to the twenty nineteen. The way that NFL teams run 0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:04.760 their backfields. This is how it goes. There's what to four, 0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:07.600 possibly five guys in the NFL that are going to 0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:09.960 be ball coward guys, and everywhere else there's two or 0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:13.520 three guys. Most of the place, there's three guys there. 0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:17.320 There's a pass catching specialist, there's a there's a third 0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:20.399 down specialist, there's a there's a first and second and 0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:24.240 short down guy. That this is the NFL now, And 0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:26.600 and I believe that Singingtary could be the guy there 0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:28.440 at some point. I don't think he'll be the guy 0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.480 there to start. And I believe that, um the breakdown 0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:34.040 that Frank said, that's about what the Carris are gonna be. 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.840 It's going to be a split and we don't believe 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:38.840 it's going to be a great offense. And it's not 0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:41.800 going to be great guys to own. It's just the 0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:45.400 reality of it. Buffalo not necessarily the place you want 0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:48.280 to go for your running back. Help, really, anybody really 0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:50.880 any help? Devin Singletary last night in this draft when 0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:53.639 seven oh one, that's too early for me. The running 0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:56.000 backs that he went ahead of, Darius Guys, Tariko and 0:26:56.000 --> 0:27:01.480 met Brita Kenyan, Drake, Latavius Murray, shod Penny Lashawn McCoy, 0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:03.960 all those running backs I just mentioned went in round 0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:06.200 seven and eight? Who took after Devin singletary and I 0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.320 would take all of those running backs ahead of Devin 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:12.159 Singleton and uh and I don't I don't know the 0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:13.879 people that I was competing against last night. It was 0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:17.000 you know, some random person. But so I will say 0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:19.600 this an FC a little bit different and hasn't overall. 0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:22.119 So this is a satellite league. This is just a 0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:25.520 twelve team league. No overall, never mind very dumb peck. Okay, 0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:27.880 and this was the team's second running back, so let's 0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:31.880 complete the triangle. Then that brings us to Houston, who 0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:35.720 had a whole lot going on as Bill O'Brien's blown 0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:37.600 up everything. It doesn't care about draft picks. He's a 0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:41.600 moro hunt. But what does matter is when this team 0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:44.440 lost their veteran Lamar Miller, we all jumped in rightfully 0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:47.200 so on Duke Johnson. But they had to bring another 0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:49.760 running back. They had no choice, and that running back 0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:51.840 turned out to be Carlos Hide, who was shifted at 0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:57.040 who everybody knows, Carlos High guy who's to Cleveland. Nick 0:27:57.119 --> 0:28:01.399 Chelburn's circles around him. It was to Jacksonville even with 0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:03.639 that letter four net I'm gonna get on the field, 0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:06.840 goes to Kansas City where it's just Damian Williams in 0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:11.640 front of him. Couldn't beat out Darryl Williams for an opportunity. 0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:16.040 Now here he is in Houston, reunited with Duke Johnson. 0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:19.680 What how I look at this one is, guys, it's 0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:23.400 going to take some shine away from Frank Gore, gonna 0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:26.120 take some shine away from Duke Johnson, and it's going 0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:29.480 to be annoying, but he's not going to be somebody 0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:31.879 that I want to own in fantasy football. If I 0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:34.360 have to choose a running back from Houston, it's going 0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:37.639 to remain Duke Johnson. Yeah, You're You're absolutely right, Greg, 0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:40.320 And I don't really think that this affects to Johnson 0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:42.000 at all. I didn't lower him in my rankings at 0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:44.320 all after Carlos Hyde came over to the Houston Texas 0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:46.960 Carlos Hide the past two seasons has averaged three point 0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:50.160 nine and three point three yards per carry, respectively, and 0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:52.800 Duke Johnson all along. I mean, what I've said about 0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:54.120 him is I expect him to get you know, ten 0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.200 to twelve carries per game and three to five targets, 0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:59.160 so he's probably gonna be right around that fifteen touch range. 0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:02.000 And I think that that is still true even with 0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:03.960 Carlos Hide on the team. You know, I spoke about 0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:07.120 this earlier with how many running back touches the Chiefs 0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:10.560 running backs average last year. I mean, that's pretty much 0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:13.520 on point you're you're looking at, you know, between twenty 0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:16.120 two and twenty six touches per game for every team's 0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.800 running back tandem. And that's still the case for the 0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:21.320 Houston Texans. I think that Duke Johnson probably gets like 0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:24.240 fourteen fifteen touches and Carlos Hyde probably gets seven to 0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:26.280 eight touches per game. You know, maybe some short yard 0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:29.080 and stuff. Maybe he gets down on the goal line too. 0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:32.400 But you know, this team invested a third round draft 0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:36.520 pick in Duke Johnson. This is by far, this is 0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:38.840 by far going to be his best season. He's going 0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:42.040 to be used more this year than ever before. And 0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:44.880 in the two NFC drafts that I've done this weekend, 0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:47.120 I took Duke Johnson in the fifth round, in the 0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:49.320 middle of the fifth round in both of those drafts 0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:52.920 because in PPR. I think he's probably gonna catch fifty 0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:55.840 sixty plus balls this year and he's going to see, 0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:59.200 you know, a hundred and fifty carries. I think that's 0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:01.640 really really good? Are you in? A full point PPR? 0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:04.320 In one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. 0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:07.160 Not to mention, we haven't even mentioned. We haven't even 0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:09.160 brought up the fact that they traded for one of 0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:11.600 the best left tackles in the league and Laramie Tunzel. 0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:14.440 That also helps Duke Johnson is the best left tackles 0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:16.440 in the league, one of the best, I would say, 0:30:16.480 --> 0:30:19.360 So let's talk about what Houston Dad. Well, can you 0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:22.200 watch thoughts of Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson and we'll 0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:28.440 finish out the show. Ready, hold up next?

Enjoy the show and face for listening. 0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:11.800 We are back here on UBO, Eric Young, Frank Savile, 0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:16.040 Greg Sussman hang out together. Any I want to give 0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:18.720 an opportunity to tell us what you think about what 0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:21.640 Houston did from a running back perspective. We get in 0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:24.840 a Laramie Tuncil here in a moment, in a Damian 0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:26.840 Clowney as well, here in a moment. What do you 0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:30.040 think about the running next situation with Carlos Side? Yeah, 0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:32.920 Carlo side is. I mean, he's a good guy to 0:31:32.960 --> 0:31:35.200 have there. You mean, he can kind of do a 0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:38.239 little bit of everything. He's not great. He was was 0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:40.960 released from from Kansas City. They got him for for 0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:44.920 next to nothing. This is the air and opportunity experience 0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:48.120 for Duke Johnson. There's nothing there but air and opportunity 0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.480 for Duke Johnson. You would hear all this stuff when 0:31:50.480 --> 0:31:52.640 he was in Cleveland, Like, I wish he would play more. 0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:54.800 I wish he would they would let him carry the ball. 0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:57.280 This is a guy that that was you know, set 0:31:57.320 --> 0:32:00.320 a bunch of records in Miami. He broke record as 0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:03.160 running back. He didn't just catch the ball um So 0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:06.280 a lot of people felt that he was not properly 0:32:06.360 --> 0:32:09.200 used in Cleveland. That comes as no surprise to anybody. 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:14.040 Uh under the old coaching resume resime there and Uh, 0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:16.720 I think Duke Johnson could be the breakout player of 0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:18.960 the year. I agree with Frank going fIF six round 0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:23.560 with this guy. It's just strictly opportunity. We know that 0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:25.280 he's a pass catcher. We know he's one of the 0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:27.920 better route runners as far as a running back goes 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:31.440 in the NFL. But can he carry the ball? And 0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:33.680 I think he can. I think this is is gonna 0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:36.000 be a big year for Duke Johnson and I'm excited 0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:38.520 to see what he does on this offense. As he mentioned, 0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:43.880 they traded away UH to go out and get Larranye Tunsel. 0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:48.120 And I don't know that Tunsil is a top left 0:32:48.160 --> 0:32:51.920 tackle in this league. He's he's been good. Um, what 0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:53.960 are they doing? Man? Like, what is Bill O'Brien doing. 0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:55.920 You had Dwayne Brown just two years ago, you do 0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.240 his pain. He cast anything that has money. Now you 0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:00.800 have Larmie Tons, which costs you first round picks and 0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:04.160 second round picks and you still got to pay them. 0:33:04.800 --> 0:33:08.840 That's coming soon too. What are the detections doing? The 0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:12.280 trader round, you go around trade j Davion Clwny only 0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:15.560 get back as the third round here. Yeah, that was happening. 0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:18.000 I think that was probably the most baffling of everything 0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:22.600 that the Houston Sexons have done this weekend, was they 0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:24.680 only got they got a third round picking like two 0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.720 backup linebackers for Jadeveon Clowney. You know, I'm sitting to 0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:29.680 myself as a Jet fan and figuring out why they 0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:32.280 didn't jump in on the sweep stakes here because they 0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:34.000 are dying for a pass rusher. I mean, we can 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:35.880 get into that another day too, you know, once I 0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.320 started ranking about Adam Gays in the season. But I mean, yeah, 0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:42.040 Jadeveon Clowney going over to the Seattle Seahawks, it helps 0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:44.400 their defense, I don't think it, you know, makes them, 0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:46.440 you know, one of these elite defenses that they used 0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:49.920 to be there, probably closer to average now. You know 0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:51.960 I thought that they were below average before. They're probably 0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:55.600 closer to average now, which might hurt Russell Wilson's PAS 0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:57.200 attempts again, because I know that was part of my 0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:58.920 thinking where I started moving them up a little bit 0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:01.600 because the Yawk's defense was going to be really bad. 0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:03.600 I still think that they're not gonna be great, but 0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:06.480 again they're probably closer to average now, which Daveon Clowney 0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:08.560 as a pass rusher. When it comes to the Houston Texans. 0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:10.959 Just from an NFL perspective, you know, we were talking 0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:13.000 about this downstairs. We were talking about this with with 0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:17.560 Gabe Morrincy as well. Basically, Bill O'Brien needs to go 0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:19.160 for it this season, like he's got to make a 0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:21.239 deep run into He's got to make the playoffs first, 0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:23.040 but then he's got to make a deep run into 0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:25.920 the postseason in order to really save his job. I mean, 0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:28.719 I think another first round exit might spell the end 0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:31.960 of Bill O'Brien with the Houston Texans. So look what 0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:33.759 he's thinking is, I gotta go for it this year, 0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:36.480 and if it doesn't work out, if I get fired, 0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:38.840 I'm not the one who's making these draft picks or 0:34:39.040 --> 0:34:41.200 losing these draft picks in the next couple of years. Anyway, 0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:43.439 I think Bill O'Briens is trying to cover himself and 0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:45.640 and he's trying to help the Houston Texans compete ultimately 0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.279 for this year. Greg, Yeah, Bill O'Brian cares about his John, 0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:51.719 himself his ass and this year's team and that's it. 0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:54.879 And I understand that you want this team this year 0:34:54.880 --> 0:34:56.839 to be the best, But what do you think these 0:34:56.840 --> 0:35:01.959 moves that they made? I mean, have we ever seen 0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:06.000 anything like this in a in a billion dollar sports franchise? Oh, 0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:07.640 we don't have a GM. We'll just let the coach 0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:11.840 do it, No big deal. I mean, it's absolute lunacy. 0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:14.439 You're telling me there's not somebody out there that would 0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:18.360 be capable of being the GM. You can't do both. 0:35:18.440 --> 0:35:21.520 We've seen people try to do it before and fail miserably. 0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:25.280 I feel that Bill O'Brien's failing miserably at being a GM. 0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:28.560 Probably not something that he wanted. UM, But I mean 0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:30.200 maybe he did. Maybe he did, I don't, I don't know. 0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:34.240 Maybe he told them, the owners that he could do it. Um. 0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:36.080 I mean, maybe he's doing good for this year, but 0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:39.799 going forward there, I mean he's if nothing else, they're 0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:41.879 going for it. If you're a Texans fan, you better 0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:44.720 get all aboard this year and and and and hope 0:35:45.000 --> 0:35:47.320 that something big happens this year. I thought it was 0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:49.399 out there. While we're talking about the Houston Texans, Greg, 0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:51.279 I have a bunch of wagers that I'm gonna put 0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.400 in before Thursday, before the season starts. I actually have 0:35:54.400 --> 0:35:55.719 to get out to Jersey and get these in there. 0:35:55.760 --> 0:35:57.719 But if you live in Jersey or anywhere where, you 0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.960 can use the Fandel Sports Book Houston Texans to make 0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:02.640 the playoffs, just make the playoffs, to have that as 0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:04.520 an option, Greg that you could bet on plus one 0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:06.640 four teen right now, and that's one of my favorite 0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:08.480 bets this season. That's something I will be wagering on 0:36:08.600 --> 0:36:11.040 plus one four team. We're gonna go over some of 0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:13.560 us tomorrow on the show. E y we said, we said, 0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:15.080 you know what we do when you guys not here 0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:18.000 on Thursdays. I make more sense. Well, we also need 0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:20.200 to preview the Thursday night football game on Thursday from 0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:25.160 an entire fantasy perspective. That's a complete season preview as 0:36:25.200 --> 0:36:28.520 well as Thursday Night football preview. That makes sense, all right, 0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:31.160 I'm cool with So on Thursday, we're gonna do all 0:36:31.160 --> 0:36:34.439 of our season pass over teams, over and under, m VP, 0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:39.279 Rookie of the Year, UM win totals, everything, that's all Thursday, 0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:40.600 all right, Yeah, I mean it sounds good to me. 0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:42.400 We'll preview the entire season as well as the Thursday 0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:45.360 night football game. Obviously from a fantasy perspective, a really 0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.640 really fun one too, because all of a sudden, I mean, 0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:50.000 this is one of the most fantasy friendly games in 0:36:50.080 --> 0:36:53.160 Week one. From David Montgomery, did Terrico and Allen Robinson, 0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:58.040 Mr Biski, Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones, Davante Adams, MVS. There's 0:36:58.080 --> 0:36:59.719 a lot going on in this game, so there's lots 0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:01.920 of talk out as well. Let me go back to 0:37:01.960 --> 0:37:04.799 your draft from last night and over the weekend. What 0:37:05.040 --> 0:37:08.000 trends really stood out to you the most, either from 0:37:08.000 --> 0:37:10.360 the beginning, from beginning to end, or just in the 0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:12.040 draft he did last night. What what stood out to 0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:14.840 you the most here, Frank, I was really paying attention 0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:16.959 to all of the players that we've basically talked about 0:37:17.000 --> 0:37:19.440 today to see where they've gone. You know, the Duke Johnson's, 0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:23.000 the Lashawn McCoy's, the Damian Williams. We've talked about that 0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:27.080 already on the show. But in terms of trends, I 0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:30.400 got Aaron Rodgers on Friday and that was a seventllar 0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:32.719 buy an NFFC Prime Time. I got Aaron Rodgers in 0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:35.000 the eighth round. Now, I understand, like there's a new 0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:37.600 coaching staff and there's a new regime with the Green 0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:39.759 Bay Packers, and they're talking about running the football more 0:37:39.800 --> 0:37:42.480 this year than ever before. This is still Aaron Rodgers team. Like, 0:37:42.560 --> 0:37:44.239 let's not get it twisted. That's part of the reason 0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:47.680 why Mike McCarthy was fired. And I think that they're 0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:49.239 going to be smart about that and they're going to 0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:52.080 understand that moving forward. When Aaron Rodgers gets a play 0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:54.400 into his headset that he does not like, he is 0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:56.080 going to change that play and he is going to 0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:58.480 change it to a play where he is throwing the football. 0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:01.160 And I still think that he has massive upside this year. 0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:03.280 And to get him, you know, in that eighth round range, 0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:05.920 I just I thought that that was completely crazy. But 0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:09.399 you know, everything else that we've talked about in terms of, 0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:11.520 you know, trying to get one of those top six 0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:13.719 tight ends, it's you know, it's still something that I've 0:38:13.760 --> 0:38:15.960 been looking to do. O. J. Howard, Evan Ingram and 0:38:16.040 --> 0:38:17.759 Hunter Henry have actually been slipping a little bit in 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:20.560 the drafts that I've participated in into the sixth round. 0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:22.160 I mean, those were guys that I was targeting for 0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:24.239 most of the draft season in the fifth round. I've 0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:26.440 seen them now slipping into the sixth round, some of 0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:29.200 those elite quarterbacks going a little bit later. Just quarterbacks 0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:30.960 in general is still going late last night, I end 0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:33.239 up with Lamar Jackson in the tenth round, and then 0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:35.359 I come back with Tom Brady in the twelfth. So 0:38:35.440 --> 0:38:37.640 kind of covering myself if with a more of a 0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:40.879 liable quarterback if something goes on with Lamar Jackson. But uh, 0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:43.080 just yeah, overall, those top six tight ends slipping a 0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:45.200 little bit, Aaron Rodgers following a little bit as well, 0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:49.000 and uh, this quarterback depth is still massive, Greg. I 0:38:49.000 --> 0:38:51.799 mean again, it's I said it all all season. There's 0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:54.520 twenty one quarterbacks that I really would not mind starting 0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:56.759 even in Week one. Could not agree more when it 0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:59.120 comes to that quarterback death. And that's why when it 0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:01.800 comes the Super FLEXI tonight, I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna 0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:03.560 wait this one out. That's what I did so my 0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:06.839 home league keeper league. It's the one that I've that's 0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:08.799 lasted the longest. I believe this is either our tenth 0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:10.719 or eleventh year doing it, and it's our second year 0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:13.479 doing the super Flex. I ended up with Kyler Murray 0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:16.120 and Jimmy Garoppolo. So that's my quarterback and super flex 0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:18.080 and there's a lot of risk involved with it. I 0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:20.360 understand that I also have David Johnson. So if the 0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:23.120 Cardinals sucked this year, that is going to suck. And 0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:25.319 I realized that, but um, you know, I didn't want 0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:27.840 to share off Kyler Murray. Um. And I think I 0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:31.080 think Jimmy Garoppolo. You know, people were worried about him 0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:33.600 at you know, five interceptions earlier on in training camp 0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:36.360 in the preseason, but bounce back in that third preseason 0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:38.960 game that he played in terrific matchup in Week one 0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:41.400 going up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well, and 0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:44.440 all of a sudden, you know, I've been on Dante Pettis. 0:39:44.440 --> 0:39:47.880 I like Dante Pettis. Everybody likes George Kittle, Deebo Samuel 0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:49.839 is someone who's getting hyped up. Mark he's good. When 0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:51.880 is starting to climb up draft boards. Again, it's the 0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:54.680 old adage for fantasy football. If we like all the 0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:57.080 weapons that are on the team, we have to like 0:39:57.120 --> 0:40:00.239 the quarterback that's throwing the football. I think Jimmy Garoppolo has, 0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:02.600 you know, come out a bit of a discount. And uh, 0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:05.719 I think because of that five interception outing, people were 0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:08.440 really worried about Timmy Garoppolo. But I actually like the 0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:12.239 prospects of them this year. Garoppolo, as the closer would say, 0:40:12.280 --> 0:40:15.560 although the NFC West is Frank Stanfeld over the weekend, 0:40:15.600 --> 0:40:18.400 e y, what takeaways and trends that you see happening 0:40:18.400 --> 0:40:23.680 the most? Uh, football is madness. I mean you feel 0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:25.840 like you're kind of getting a handle on it. And 0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:27.719 someone said this the other day, and I wish I 0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:31.000 could give him credit, but he said, the only thing 0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:34.799 predictable about the NFL is that it is completely unpredictable. 0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:37.800 And I think that's why fantasy football is the best 0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:44.279 fantasy sport. Nobody truly knows, maybe except for me. Uh, 0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:48.080 but yeah, it's dude. I cannot wait for Thursday. What 0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:52.400 a game to start the season. Week one. This is 0:40:52.440 --> 0:40:54.760 the best time of year. I'm so pumped. I'm gonna 0:40:54.800 --> 0:40:57.480 be home, I'm gonna be on my couch. I have 0:40:57.640 --> 0:41:01.040 my forty screens pulled up watching all the games. It's 0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:03.200 it's gonna be the best, man. I'm just I'm just 0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:07.319 so pumped. I'm ready to get some results. How right. 0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:11.719 Was I brand new segment of the program? How right? 0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:17.040 Was I? Very degrees? Like we know that I'm right, 0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:20.239 but just how right? Was I? Very right? Very right? 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:24.040 He's very right, Andrew Luck. We're all gonna be wrong. 0:41:24.160 --> 0:41:26.759 We're all gonna be wrong. But the big ones, what 0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:30.120 were the big questions? The number one was a Zeke Elliott? 0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:32.759 What did I say? I guaranteed that he would play 0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:37.640 week one? Judging by everything, he's going to play week one. 0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:40.920 I told people you can't draft Aaron Andrew Luck. He's 0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:44.800 not a football player. Couldn't have been more right, Gordon, 0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:46.960 I said, because of the contract thing, he's not gonna 0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.520 play until week ten, and you better not be drafting 0:41:49.560 --> 0:41:51.920 him where he's going. He's not worth that. He's not 0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:55.120 gonna play because he doesn't need to play. Zeke needs 0:41:55.160 --> 0:41:58.320 to play. He wants to play. Dallas wants him to play. 0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:01.319 If you thought Tony paul Or was going to replace Sake, 0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:05.080 you're insane. And I have never watched Zekil Elliott carry 0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:08.000 a football, So I mean it's this has been a 0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:11.640 big year for me, guys, and it hasn't even started yet. 0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:14.319 I love it. It hasn't yeah, and I'm I could 0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:16.920 be totally wrong on on everything else, but those are 0:42:16.920 --> 0:42:20.000 three big ones. Those are three big ones. Watch the show, 0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:23.160 Listen to the show. We're doing it, you're doing it. 0:42:23.280 --> 0:42:26.240 I love that, you know most people who have frequent 0:42:26.280 --> 0:42:28.000 in the show and have listened over the past couple 0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:30.680 of years. Greg, even I was getting Twitter mentions when 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:32.880 the Andrew Luck stuff came out, like, oh my god, 0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:35.600 Eric Young has never been more right than he is 0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:37.560 right now regarding Andrew Luck. And you know, we went 0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:39.759 over this when it happened to you didn't even want 0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:41.719 it to happen that way, like nobody wanted to see 0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:44.080 any luck go out that way, but it was like 0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:47.719 everybody knew the way that you felt, the sentiment that 0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:50.600 you shared regarding Andrew Luck in this entire situation, even 0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:53.400 dating back to two years. So it's just crazy that 0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:56.360 like everything basically came full circle and this time, like 0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.320 instead of him sitting out the rest of the season, 0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:01.239 he's sitting out the rest of his life. So it's 0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:04.960 just crazy. He's not a football player. I don't tell you. 0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:09.879 He's simply not a football player. That's what you said, 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:11.840 more right than you wanted to be exactly, Greg I 0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:13.400 made a move in the in the pit league that 0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:16.520 you might end up snacking me around for a little bit. 0:43:17.080 --> 0:43:19.160 I saw you mad a move with the pitot, Albert Wilson. 0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:22.920 I wanna apologize Albert Wilson. I dropped to Marus Thomas 0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:25.839 because he got cut and then he got resigned by 0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:28.320 the Patriots a day later and pick him up. I 0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:31.400 don't know. I don't really care about Barrius Thomas. Yeah, 0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:33.680 but Albert Wilson is someone who actually is getting hyped up. 0:43:33.680 --> 0:43:35.399 So that's why you know I was. I figured you, look, 0:43:35.600 --> 0:43:38.720 Mary Thomas isn't gonna play. Take another wide receiver with upside. 0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:41.120 I don't know what's gonna happen. Are you mad at 0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:43.759 me for making that move? Greg? Not at Man? All right, cool, 0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:46.040 we'll figure it out. I'm not mad PD Westbrook or 0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:48.839 a wide receiver too. Let's go I'm sure I feel 0:43:48.840 --> 0:43:54.000 about that DeAndre Hopkins in D Westbrook. Let's go AFC South. 0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:58.120 We also have Mahomes and Kelsey. Yeah, let's go. Les. Okay, 0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:01.000 say all right, tonight, not tomorrow. Tomorrow A lot of 0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:03.319 recapping of my drafts. I gotta get told how I 0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:05.359 did by you guys. Charlle talks of both of you 0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:08.560 throughout the night because you need health. We should probably 0:44:08.600 --> 0:44:11.040 start just jumping into week one stuff tomorrow as well. 0:44:11.640 --> 0:44:16.000 You want to start answer people's questions. Or we can 0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:19.680 do like waiver wire moves that you should have made 0:44:19.719 --> 0:44:22.239 since you're drafts. We we have Scott fish Bowl waiver wire, 0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:25.600 n GST waiver wire. We talk about it. Yeah, yeah, 0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:29.120 well that's actually gonna go through overnight tonight because we 0:44:29.120 --> 0:44:33.120 can actually talk about those tomorrow. What about what he 0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:36.160 claims it might have that results to talk about tomorrow 0:44:36.160 --> 0:44:38.880 on the show claims in for over a month.

But I think once 0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:31.520 you get into like that round seven and later range, 0:45:31.840 --> 0:45:33.239 I mean, you're gonna be hard pressed to find a 0:45:33.320 --> 0:45:35.560 running back who has more upside than Lashawn McCloy. I mean, 0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:37.680 you know, e, I was just talking about Darwin Thompson, 0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:41.000 who never took a snap in the NFL's going in 0:45:41.080 --> 0:45:43.800 round seven and eight of high Stakes drass over the 0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:47.239 weekend before they signed Lashawn McCoy. Now Lashawn McCoy, who 0:45:47.440 --> 0:45:50.839 understands this Andy Reid offense and actually flash a little 0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:52.279 bit in the preseason. I think he showed us that 0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:54.360 he can still play a little bit. The upside is 0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:57.320 higher for Lashawn McCoy than it was for Darwin Thompson 0:45:57.400 --> 0:46:00.000 in my opinion. So I wouldn't drop Darwin Thompson if 0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:01.960 I drafted him, because you still want exposure to the 0:46:02.040 --> 0:46:05.920 Chief's offense. But there is a sneaky suspicion that Lashaw 0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:08.719 McCoy can actually overtake Damie Williams. I don't think that's 0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:10.759 crazy for anyone who you know just took a shot 0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:13.200 on Leshaw McCoy late in your drafts. That's like a 0:46:13.280 --> 0:46:15.279 running back of the Buffalo Bills, like your RB five 0:46:15.360 --> 0:46:17.520 RB six, which is what we got him at at 0:46:17.600 --> 0:46:20.560 in the g SC draft. Craig, you are in love 0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:23.520 with the landing spot obviously now with Lesha McCoy going 0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:26.040 to the Chiefs very much so I'm beyond thrill that 0:46:26.320 --> 0:46:28.160 we have Lashaw McCoy now on the Chiefs. That costs 0:46:28.200 --> 0:46:31.560 us ultimately nothing. I've moved Damie Williams down farther in 0:46:31.640 --> 0:46:33.120 my rankings. I've got him all the way now is 0:46:33.200 --> 0:46:36.160 RB twenty seven, Like I I have dropped him precipitously. 0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:38.600 Lashaw McCoy is up to RB thirty four, not just 0:46:38.680 --> 0:46:43.000 similar to where you have him. Um, Like we said, 0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:44.480 if he felt was in the fifth round, we would 0:46:44.480 --> 0:46:47.080 have taken him, and we took Duke Johnson in that spot. 0:46:47.280 --> 0:46:49.839 So if we were on the board Duke Johnson versus 0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:53.040 Damian Williams, who we would But like I think there's 0:46:53.040 --> 0:46:54.919 a fair argument to be made the lesha mcoy should 0:46:54.920 --> 0:46:56.880 go ahead of Damian Williams. I think the argument is 0:46:57.480 --> 0:47:01.440 very reasonable. Like it's just like, look, we saw Damie 0:47:01.440 --> 0:47:03.960 Williams perform in this offense last year. It's not I 0:47:04.040 --> 0:47:06.760 understand we have concerns, and everyone has said this whole offseason. 0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:09.080 I understand that people who were anti Damie Williams are 0:47:09.120 --> 0:47:11.400 doing their victory laps right now. I get it. Whatever, 0:47:11.440 --> 0:47:13.560 that's perfectly fine. You want to do your victory laps 0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:16.880 on September three, that's perfectly fine. To be honest, we 0:47:16.920 --> 0:47:18.719 don't know what's gonna happen, you know, with a lot 0:47:18.800 --> 0:47:22.080 of situations. Yes, we're we're we're making educated guesses. But 0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:24.399 based on the money here again, I'll go back to that. 0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:27.440 They they're not just like paying Leshawn McCoy like a backup. 0:47:27.680 --> 0:47:30.560 They're paying him even more guaranteed money than they are 0:47:30.640 --> 0:47:32.319 Damie Williams. So you know he's gonna have a role. 0:47:32.320 --> 0:47:34.320 How it's going to break down, I guess we'll see. 0:47:34.440 --> 0:47:37.640 You know, last year, the Chief's running backs average twenty 0:47:37.680 --> 0:47:40.400 five touches per game on a weekly basis, So I 0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:41.759 mean you could do the math in your head. I 0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:44.320 think Darwyn Thompson probably still gets, you know, four to 0:47:44.400 --> 0:47:47.240 five touches a week and then that there's like twenty 0:47:47.320 --> 0:47:50.680 touches combined for Damian Williams and Leshawn McCoy. It could 0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:53.880 just end up being a really frustrating situation. But obviously 0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:56.080 the fact that Leshaw McCoy knows Andy Reid's offense and 0:47:56.120 --> 0:47:58.720 that familiarity and you know, they've worked so well together, 0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:02.399 there's big upside grabbing Leshaw mcoyin round seven or later 0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:04.279 right now, or you know, even if you're playing a 0:48:04.280 --> 0:48:06.440 ten team league, Losa mccoin might have not been drafted 0:48:07.000 --> 0:48:10.600 totally sure. You just check your waiver wire, Yeah, and 0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:13.800 I go, I follow the money. Ultimately that I follow 0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:16.480 the money, and I followed the logic here. Leshaw McCoy 0:48:16.560 --> 0:48:19.960 had options, an offer from the Chargers Los Angeles Charges 0:48:20.000 --> 0:48:23.239 being the obvious other option, given what Melvin Gordon um, 0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:26.919 given what Melvin Gordon status is. And I truly don't 0:48:26.920 --> 0:48:30.320 believe Melan Lashaw McCoy is going somewhere to be the backup. 0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:34.279 He's not going somewhere, despite the familiarity with any Reid. 0:48:34.480 --> 0:48:36.840 He's not going somewhere where he knows at least he 0:48:36.880 --> 0:48:39.440 doesn't believe he's gonna get the majority of touches. And 0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:41.200 when it comes to the Chargers, like, there's two other 0:48:41.239 --> 0:48:44.040 guys that they really liked. I'm sure when he met 0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:45.879 with Andy Reid or his agent, but with Andy Reid 0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:49.040 and he's like, listen, you come back to me. It's 0:48:49.040 --> 0:48:51.320 gonna work out, and we're gonna give you four million 0:48:51.400 --> 0:48:54.680 reasons why we think it's gonna work out. And Damian 0:48:54.719 --> 0:48:57.120 Williams a career backup, and all the naysayers, like you said, 0:48:57.120 --> 0:48:59.440 who are doing their victory laps, that's fine, good for you. 0:49:00.800 --> 0:49:02.360 I think it would be very hard for Seoan McCoy 0:49:02.360 --> 0:49:05.279 to stay on this bench for the Chiefs. When I'm 0:49:05.360 --> 0:49:08.759 on the clock tonight, it's going to be very hard 0:49:08.800 --> 0:49:10.600 for me to see Jamie Williams is the top name 0:49:10.640 --> 0:49:14.000 on my board and ultimately pull the trigger. Like I 0:49:14.040 --> 0:49:15.560 could tell you I had him, what would I just 0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:17.879 tell you a nineteen or whatever? Seven? I don't remember 0:49:17.880 --> 0:49:21.440 the number I had him at right, So when I 0:49:21.440 --> 0:49:25.120 get there and he's the next running back up, here's 0:49:25.120 --> 0:49:26.279 why I have back to back way. Do you tell 0:49:26.280 --> 0:49:28.760 me who you'd rather have Jamie Williams or Miles Sanders, 0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:32.000 I'd still seek Jamie Williams STI would think Daid Williams. 0:49:32.080 --> 0:49:35.040 I think especially in any type of PPR format, I 0:49:35.080 --> 0:49:37.440 feel like I just go wide receiver. And Saw McCoy 0:49:37.520 --> 0:49:39.600 went in this draft that I did last night, NFFC 0:49:39.719 --> 0:49:41.880 Draft five. So it's not it's not cheap, it's a 0:49:41.920 --> 0:49:48.279 high stakes draft. McCoy went eleven and that was the 0:49:48.360 --> 0:49:50.759 round that I took Tony Pollard. But as a Zeken Right, 0:49:50.840 --> 0:49:51.000 you know
