Speaker 1: of applause. Josh, Susie, Hi, Jack is back, like everybody's back.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: It's great. Training camp is here and we had to

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: go to training camp Florida. It's great.

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun.

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. It's a thing we

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: have been trying to do for a few years on

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: this show. Finally happened. Big shout out to Susie and

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: to Thomas Warren for helping to make that happen. Yeah,

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: we're giving you guys a round of applause because you know,

15
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: we've been trying to get to training camp for a while.

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: There are three of them within relatively easy driving distance,

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: but finally we're able to make it happen, and so

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: because of that, we are bringing you a trio of interviews.

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: We sat down with Chargers running back Josh Kelly with

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: tight end Gerald Everett, and with Austin Eckler, so what

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: we will sprinkle those in here in the midst of

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: the podcast. Also, since we are pretty much into the

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: preseason now, we are putting a bow on Florio's film

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: festival with one that what's heat? I mean it brings heat,

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: it is heat. I felt like it was a great

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: way to wrap up what's been a good summer of movies.

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: But I can't wait to hear your thoughts and also

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: to get your final rankings with the fifteen with an asterisk,

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: fifteen nineties action movies and then Snakes on a.

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: P I left Snakes on a Plane yeah out of

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: it because I was like, it's kind of in a

32
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: different genre.

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: It's its own thing. But I can't wait to get

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: your final rankings on that. But let's get started with

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: some news headlines, because there has been a decent amount

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: of news since we last spoke with you. The biggest news,

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: whatever the hell is happening in Indianapolis right now. Jonathan

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: Taylor has requested a trade. It was like things between

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: he and the front office seemed to sort of be souring.

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: Then Taylor spends what an hour or two on owner

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: Jim Ursay's bus, and then pretty much immediately after that

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: he requested a trade. So whenever went down on that bus,

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: it went bad, so he doesn't want to be there.

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: On top of it, there were reports that maybe he

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: was gonna go on the non football injury list because

46
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: he had a back issue. Taylor then tweeted immediately that

47
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: I never complained about a back issue. I never reported

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: a back issue, So like things are going great. To

49
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: top things off, Zach.

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: They had a tweet in there.

51
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Jim Mercy had a tweet about, like, you know, if

52
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: I die tonight and Jonathan Taylor's gone, nobody's going to

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: miss us. I mean it literally is. It's the dog

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: in the fiery room right now. Like this is fine.

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Apparently Zach Moss breaks his arm, He's out four to

56
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: six weeks. Short answer a short question, rather, wtf are

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: we doing with the Colts backfield?

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 2: I have lowered Jonathan Taylor, so I keep saying there's

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: like nine RB ones that I think are like rock

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: solid RB ones, and I now have Jonathan Taylor eighth

62
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: of those nine. Him and Josh Jacobs are now the

63
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: final two for me. But as this continues to go

64
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: further and further into preseason. I will lower it if

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: you know, like a week from now, Jonathan Taylor is

66
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: still in whatever limbo we're in right now, and we

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: don't know if he's gonna play, I have no choice

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: but to lower him even further. I will say I've

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: taken a couple in like my best ball drafts, I've

70
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: taken a couple of like seventeenth eighteenth round flyers on

71
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: Evan Hall. I think Dion Jackson is someone you could

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: also throw a dart on right now. But the real

73
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: answer is you want to draft Anthony Richardson as your quarterback?

74
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: I think because not only is he gonna get all

75
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: the passing yards, he's gonna get all the rushing yards

76
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: now as well.

77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean that was sort of my next question is

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: what does this mean for him? Obviously, if there's no

79
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, they're going to put a lot more pressure

80
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: on him to sort of be everything and to get

81
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: up to speed as quickly as possible. Right, And we

82
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: sort of liked him because of that rushing ability that

83
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: we don't we are still waiting to see what he's

84
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: going to be as a passer, but we know that

85
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: he will give you a very safe rushing floor. I mean,

86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: we're we're projecting seven eight hundred yards maybe even more

87
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: for Richardson this year. But no, Jonathan Taylor means that

88
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: might be how he gets it done, right. I mean,

89
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, unless he somehow jumps in and is immediately

90
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: like a thirty five hundred yard passer, that seems really unlikely. Yeah,

91
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: you know it, Just that means he's gonna have to

92
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: run a lot, a lot, a lot this year.

93
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: I keep saying, I think he could be like what

94
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: Justin Fields was last year, where Fields gave you just

95
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: over twenty two hundred passing yards like that is bad.

96
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: But and he's averaging like one touchdown per game passing wise,

97
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: but because of his legs, he was a must art

98
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: fantasy guy. I could easily see Richardson having that same path.

99
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's that's going to be. Yet

100
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I'm still willing to draft John Nathan Taylor,

101
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: and I think what sort of works and talking to

102
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: people who have been doing a lot more dressed than

103
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: I have, running backs are falling now, yeah, and so

104
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: that sort of gives you an opportunity that you can

105
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: get in on a wide receiver or too early come

106
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: back around, and you know Jonathan Taylor right now with

107
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: the panic might still be sitting there early third round

108
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are concerned. If that's the case,

109
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I would take a wide receiver in

110
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: one come back, get a solid running back that I

111
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: know is going to start the season, get him in

112
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: the second round, and maybe take Jonathan Taylor in the

113
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: third round. That feels doable. That's the thing you couldn't

114
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: have said in March or April, but it's doable now.

115
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. And my approach and it's why like

116
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: I'm in on still like at costs on like Jamison

117
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: Williams and Kadarius Toni and guys who aren't potentially going

118
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: to be ready to start the season. Jonathan Taylor kind

119
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: of slides right in there like it is a dice roll.

120
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: The video of him walking around practice the other day,

121
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: I will say, like I've raised an eyebrow, and I

122
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: was like, for a guy who's saying you have no

123
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: back issues, you're walking like a guy who has some

124
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: back issues right now. But if Jonathan Taylor even let's

125
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: say he's not himself for not even playing to start

126
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: the year. But if you could have Jonathan Taylor plus

127
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: another RB one for the fantasy playoffs, that's all I

128
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: care about, Like, I want my team to be at

129
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: its best come the end of the season.

130
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I think, especially if you're talking about drafting

131
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: best ball teams, why wouldn't you take that shot on

132
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor Because then you don't even have to worry

133
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: about putting him in the lineup. You just sit and

134
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: you wait for those spike weeks to roll in and

135
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: you're sitting really really pretty. But here we go, yet

136
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: another running back that is in flux right now. Is

137
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, we still wait to see what happens with

138
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. Dalvin Cook is still hanging out there. Ezekiel

139
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: Elliott went to New England and left without a deal.

140
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette still doesn't have a deal. Yeah, you know,

141
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is the only like veteran free agent running

142
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: back that's signed anywhere.

143
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: I would have bet money that he would have been

144
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: the Well, obviously I wouldn't do that because but I

145
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: would have bet something else theoretically that he would have

146
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: been the last running back of that group to sign.

147
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: Jelly Beans, you would have met jelly Beans. Yes, that

148
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: he would have signed. Uh yeah, so Melvin Gordon's in Baltimore.

149
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't even think we've talked about that. Does that?

150
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: Does that do anything for you?

151
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: No? To me, all it did was make me a

152
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: little bit more concerned about JK. Dobbins.

153
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's it, but I'm not drafted Melvin Gordon

154
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: anywhere closer to us here in Los Angeles, Cooper cup

155
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: leaves practice recently with a hamstring injury. Reports are that

156
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 1: he is going to be out for a number of weeks,

157
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: but there is still an expectation that he should be

158
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: ready to play for the Rams in Week one. I mean,

159
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: this is the guy that's being drafted among the top

160
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: two or three wide receivers. He is a early first

161
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: round pick in most drafts. Does this concern you? And

162
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: if so, how much.

163
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: It as of today? August second, I am not that

164
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: concerned because they the quote that came out was we

165
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: expect him to be ready for scrimmages in a couple

166
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: of weeks. So some some times I think we forget that. Yes,

167
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: we're very close to the season starting, but we're still

168
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: six weeks out, so there's still time for Cooper Cup,

169
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: and I keep saying it like, if you're a big

170
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: name player and you suffer any sort of injury right now,

171
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: they're going to shut you down, Like that's just what

172
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: they're going to do. So my thinking when I saw

173
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: this was I wonder if I get Cooper Cup even

174
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: cheaper now, like if he starts falling behind Tyreek Hill,

175
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: maybe a couple of other wide receivers. I already think

176
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: he's one of the best values because when he has

177
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: been healthy, no one, not even Justin Jefferson, has been

178
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: anywhere close to Cooper Cup's level the last two seasons.

179
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: So I think he's a good value in the middle

180
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: of the first round. And now if that falls even

181
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: a little bit further, it's just going to make me

182
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: want to draft him even more.

183
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: I still think he's going to stay in the first round.

184
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he drops out of the

185
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: first round. But maybe he does drop down a couple

186
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: of spots. Maybe there's something that worries people. I mean,

187
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: I'm sure you are like me where you are getting

188
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: notifications from various platforms in New scott Let's about guys

189
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: whose injury status is changing, and I think there's something

190
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: to say when you were on the clock and you're

191
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: drafting and you see like a Q or an O

192
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: next to somebody's name about their injury designation, that maybe

193
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: gives you a reason to pause a little bit. But

194
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: I still think Cooper cup is going to you know,

195
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy and plays most of the year,

196
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: will finish the year as a top three fantasy wide receiver,

197
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: and I feel like he should still be drafted as such.

198
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: The wide receiver situation in Denver quite a bit different.

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick, another really awful injury last year, missed all

200
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: of the season with a knee injury, now comes back

201
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: this year hoping to make a return to the field,

202
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: and he suffers a torn achilles and so for the

203
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: second straight season, Tim Patrick has done for the year

204
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: before training camp is over. That's not all, though, The

205
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: Broncos did wave kJ Hamler with a non football injury

206
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: designation after he was diagnosed with a mild heart issue.

207
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 4: Now.

208
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: The upside for that, though, is that the Broncos do

209
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: believe this is a thing where it'll keep him out

210
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: weeks and not months, so there is an anticipation that

211
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: they'll be able to bring him back after a while.

212
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: But that leaves us essentially with Courtland Sutton and Jerry Judy.

213
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: Everybody seems to be big on Jerry Judy, but Cortland

214
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Sutton's been a different situation. People seem a little bit

215
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: more hesitant there with this news. Are you back in

216
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: on him or is there another Broncos wide receiver you might.

217
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: Like My approach with Sutton, I have bumped him up

218
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: a bit in the rankings, but I continue to see

219
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: him go as like wide receiver forty or later, and

220
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, that is around where I have him ranks,

221
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: but I could easily see him be outperforming this. So

222
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: it's one of those situations where I'm like, I can't

223
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: say I don't understand why he's going where he's going,

224
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: but I can. I'm like, at the end of the year,

225
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: I would not surprise me at all if we look

226
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: back on that and where like we over corrected far

227
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: too much from last season. As for other receivers there,

228
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: Marvin Mims I think is worthy of a late round flyer,

229
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: especially in best Ball, because I could see being very

230
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: inconsistent week to week, but with his speed and downfield ability,

231
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: he could have those big weeks. So I do think

232
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: he is a better and best ball kind of player.

233
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 2: But if you're in a deeper league and you get

234
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: into the later rounds of your draft and he's a

235
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: name that's there, I think it's fine to take a

236
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: shot on him.

237
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: Mims. I definitely am in on, especially in the late rounds,

238
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: because where the ADP is, it's it's almost free in drafts,

239
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: So that one I'm totally fine with. I have been

240
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: kind of a Courtland Sutton stand and I'm sort of

241
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: where you are where wide receiver forty is about where

242
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable. Although I'll say this, I'm starting to get

243
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: I don't know if excited is the word optimistic about

244
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: the Broncos offense. And maybe maybe this is just you know,

245
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: the residual of Sean Payton popping off in that Sports

246
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: Illustrated interview and like, you know, taking shots at Nathaniel

247
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: Hackett and everything else. Maybe that just has me a

248
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: little fired up. But something tells me that that Peyton's

249
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: gonna get this thing turned around, that Russell Wilson is

250
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: going to be better than he was last year. I

251
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: think he sort of picks up from where he left

252
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: off at the end of the season, so I'm starting

253
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: to get a little more optimistic, a little more positive

254
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: about the Broncos offense. So we'll see there. So not

255
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: really news necessarily, but the Hall of Fame inductions are

256
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: this weekend in Canton, Ohio. Rende Barber, Don Coriel, Chuck Howley,

257
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: Joe Cleco, Darrell Reeves, kN Riley, Joe Thomas, Zach Thomas,

258
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Ware. These are your Hall of Fame inductees for

259
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: this season. We always sort of talk about the Fantasy

260
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, and I'm talking with hythen Colonie. One

261
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: day We're actually gonna, you know, get our stuff together

262
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: and be organized and like do our own like Fantasy

263
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame inductions, like maybe make a video out

264
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: of it and have some fun. We always never think

265
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: about it until like this week comes up, and it's

266
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: always too late. But it did make me think if

267
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: we were starting a Fantasy Hall of Fame, who would

268
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: be your inaugural class, like anywhere from three to five people,

269
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: but who would be the first guys you would vote

270
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: into your fantasy Hall.

271
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: So I went with the with players that I liked

272
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: to have on my fantasy team and my favorite all

273
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: time Fantasy player is Todd Gurley. I drafted him as

274
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 2: a rookie in two keeper leagues and I had him

275
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: for his entire career because it was a short lived career,

276
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: but it was a maz like. Todd Gurley is the

277
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: Drake Line like in personified, Like he wasn't here for

278
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: a long time, but he was here for a good

279
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: time because he won people championships year and year out,

280
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: like especially I think it was twenty seventeen that playoff

281
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: run that he went on. It was like if you

282
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: didn't have Todd Gurley that year, you could not win

283
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: a fantasy championship. Michael Vick I think deserves to be

284
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 2: in there. Like Michael Vick's rushing numbers now aren't as

285
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: impressive when you compare him maybe to like Jalen Hurts

286
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: and Lamar Jackson and everything, but think about when Michael

287
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: Vick was doing it, when the other quarterbacks were like

288
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and statues. I always say,

289
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 2: like for basketball, like if you put Kyrie Irving in

290
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: the sixties, like people would think he's a wizard. That

291
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: was Michael Vick. In full Fantasy Football, Arion Foster undrafted

292
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: player who went on to immediately have great fantasy success.

293
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: Was amazing until injuries kind of took its toll. I

294
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: had him in a bunch of leagues, won me titles.

295
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: Calvin Johnson was the most fun wide receiver. When I

296
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: was a child, the Lions games were routinely like, we're

297
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: gonna fall behind multiple scores and just have Stafford chuck

298
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: it up to Calvin Johnson, let him do his thing.

299
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: And I wanted to go with the coworker of ours,

300
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: but I also wanted to give a tight end some love,

301
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: So I'm split. MJD was my first ever fantasy pick.

302
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: I would easily put him in the Hall of Fame,

303
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: but for years my tight end approach was just draft

304
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: Antonio Gates. So I think he deserves to be in

305
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: as well.

306
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: So a few things about that one. Todd Gurley was

307
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: I think one of those first guys where as a rookie,

308
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: people were talking about, hey, we should draft this guy

309
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: in the first round, and the consensus goes, what are

310
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: you doing? He's a rookie, And like you know, in

311
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: the years since, we obviously swung our opinion on that,

312
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: but he was at that first guy we're like, yeah,

313
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: you should draft this rookie in the first round. He's

314
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: gonna be worth it. And he ran for eleven hundred

315
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: yards that year, and after he missed the first with

316
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: three or four games if they.

317
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: Like the first month or something like that.

318
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it came out and still crushed it. Michael

319
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: Vick was absolutely right. I think when you talk about

320
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: video games, there are generations, right. I am actually of

321
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: the generation because I'm a little bit you know of

322
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: an old where the greatest video game football player I

323
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: ever saw was Bo Jackson and Techmobile. But for a

324
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: lot of people, Michael Vick, mad Michael Vick and Matt

325
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: he really was. It was that guy where it's like, no,

326
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: you can't use that team because that's just not fair,

327
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: Like you can't have Michael Vick, It's just not right.

328
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson I verily nearly put on my list. I

329
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: went with another big time wide receiver that I'll tell

330
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: you about in just a second, and then Antonio Gates.

331
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: I had a really good friend whose motto when it

332
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: came to drafting tight ends was if you don't get Gates,

333
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: then wait, because that was you know, kind of how

334
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: it went there. My five I am going with a

335
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: co worker La Danian Tomlinson, who I mean the best ever?

336
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: Why not? Right, just just the incredible seasons he had

337
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: and he was always liable to throw a touchdown pass

338
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: or two, you know, during the season for you. Marshall

339
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: Falk who was incredible with the Colton then got to

340
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: the Rams and was a big part of the Greatest

341
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: Show on Turf, did a lot of amazing things there.

342
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, I know, the end of his career was

343
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: not great when he could barely throw the ball down field,

344
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: but man, in his prime, Peyton Manning was a fantasy

345
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: monster each year, year in and year out. Yeah, Tom

346
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: Brady had great seasons, but remember Tom Brady's first few seasons,

347
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: he was kind of a game manager.

348
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: Was always way better in fantasy.

349
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: Peyton was always like he was always a fantasy stud.

350
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was a game manager for the beginning of

351
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: his career and then turned into a fantasy stud. Antonio

352
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: Gates you had if you didn't get him. The other

353
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: tight end that you wanted was Tony Gonzalez, Oh yeah,

354
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: for years, who was actually also the first guy to

355
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: be like that. Hey, you know he played basketball and

356
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, every time you have a

357
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: tight end who plays basketball, he's Tony Gonzales at least

358
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: we hope so so Tony Gonzalez my tight end was

359
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. And then you went Calvin Johnson, I went

360
00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: Randy Moss.

361
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah you have the two. I would say, goats on

362
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: like Randy Moss. I think for in my fantasy I

363
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: was not a lot like playing fantasy for Jerry Rice.

364
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: For Randy Moss unquestionably the best. And then elt was

365
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: so good that leagues made the third round reversal because

366
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: they were like, we can't let the first team get

367
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: LT and then have two other top twenty five picks.

368
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: So after round two, the twelve team would then get

369
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: the third first pick in the third round because it

370
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: was just too big of an advantage if.

371
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: You had Eltie Lavinian. Thomlinson was such a monster in

372
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: fantasy football. He absolutely completely changed the game. So anyway,

373
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: those are our Hall of Fame guys. Congratulations though to

374
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: this year's inductees, and you can check out these ceremonies

375
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I'm sure we'll be on NFL Network

376
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: among other places coming up this weekend. As I mentioned,

377
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: top of the show, we went to Charger camp. We

378
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: drove down the road about forty five minutes to coach

379
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: to Mason watch the Chargers practice. Had a chance to

380
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: sit down with a handful of guys. First Arrivy with

381
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: Josh Kelly, the backup running back entering his fourth season,

382
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: and we want to sit down and talk to him

383
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: about what do you thinks this offense is going to

384
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: be like this year? Here with Chargers running back Josh

385
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: Kelly and entering your fourth season in the year. Man,

386
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: you've been through this a few times. How has your

387
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: preparation changed now here.

388
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 3: In year four? Yeah, it's been different. I think y're

389
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: one to two. It was very like kind of so

390
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 3: like inexperienced. It was more so like hey, you know,

391
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna study, go out and play, do my thing.

392
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: And you know, there was kind of like ups and

393
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: downs with that year three. In year four, now it's

394
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 3: been a lot of like routine, like I know I'm

395
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 3: looking for when watching tape, you know, I know how

396
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: to like bounce back while I'm not having the days

397
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: that I would like. So it's been more of a

398
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 3: mental thing that I'm learning. I'm like, okay, like I'll

399
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: be all right, I'll be fine, and let's just keep attacking.

400
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: You know how football is.

401
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have so much talent offensively on this team here,

402
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 2: and especially in the running back room, playing with Austin Eckler.

403
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: How much does playing with Eckler and all these other

404
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: vets like, how do you learn so much from them?

405
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I really study, Like you know, I've been

406
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 3: here for four years, so seeing these guys play, it's

407
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: like I study the routines. You know, what Keenan likes

408
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: to do, what Mike likes to do, what Austin likes

409
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 3: to do. It's all different, you know. So I think

410
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 3: for me, just learning from k because he's directly in

411
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: my room is pretty cool. Like seeing what he sees

412
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: out there, like going through the reads, you know, seeing

413
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: where his mentality is as a runner. It's really cool.

414
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 4: Bro.

415
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: So you can pick up things for each guy well.

416
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: And you guys are in a new offense this year.

417
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: I know you're still kind of learning things with Kellen

418
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: Moore and everything. Do the running back do your responsibilities

419
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: change a lot more in this new offense? What does

420
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: it look like?

421
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I think so far we have

422
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: been used a lot better, like in terms of just

423
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 3: like use more in the passing game, use more in

424
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: like better run situations. It's been pretty cool, man Like.

425
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: His offense is really dope. I can see why he's

426
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 3: been part of one of the most explosive offenses in

427
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: the history. Like just scoring, it's pretty cool, man. So

428
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 3: we're learning it, we're attacking it, we're getting better at it.

429
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: Cool and the explosiveness in his offense is something that

430
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: you hear about with this charge offense this year, is

431
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: that there's gonna be more deep throws and more big plays.

432
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: How does that help open up running lanes for you

433
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: as it running?

434
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 3: Oh? It does.

435
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 4: Man.

436
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: A lot of teams are gonna be playing too high,

437
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 3: they're gonna be deep, they're gonna be trying to back up.

438
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 3: So that's a light box. Yeah, man, like light up

439
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: the box. Let's go downhill for sure. When it's too high.

440
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, man, like, let's let's get it run going.

441
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: So I got to ask you a college question. You're

442
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: a UCLA guy, I'm a USC guy. How do you

443
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: feel about our schools not being in the Pac twelve?

444
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, go to work, you know, you know it's crazy

445
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: about that is. I think I think it's gonna pay off.

446
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 3: I think it is crazy to not think, like, oh,

447
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 3: they're not in the Paclow, but they're gonna be playing

448
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 3: against really good schools and that competition means better recruits

449
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: and also means a better chance of going to like

450
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: the bigger playoff games, you know, the bigger bowl games.

451
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 3: So I think it will pay off. And I think

452
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 3: it was a smart move. You know, like things are changing,

453
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: the college game is obviously recruiting, everything is changing. So

454
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: I think that was a good business move for them.

455
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: Who's gonna win when you guys match up.

456
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: Day, who knows?

457
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's always fun. It's always a good time

458
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: when they play. But uh yeah, man, looking forward to it.

459
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: But but Josh Man, we appreciate the time.

460
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: There you're going.

461
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: But my best left.

462
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate you guys. Take care.

463
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: So Josh Kelly, one of the things he talked about

464
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: was how he thinks this offense is going to use

465
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: their running backs. You and I sort of laughed. He said,

466
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna integrate them more to the passing game. You

467
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: said after the interview was how do they get more

468
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game? But that seems like a

469
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: good thing for us.

470
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems great. And my takeaway from talking to

471
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: Josh Kelly is like, I still think the running backs

472
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: are going to be heavily involved in this offense, in

473
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: the pass attack. It also seems like he has accepted

474
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: like Austin Eckler is one of the best running backs

475
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: in the world. I just want to do whatever I

476
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: can to kind of shadow this guy, which tells me

477
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 2: that yeah, Alsineckler's gonna have another big year.

478
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a big, big year. I know. Kellen

479
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: Moore has said, look, we want to rotate other guys

480
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: through there, but he also is like, yeah, Austin's still

481
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: going to get most of the work. Ye, so that's

482
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: not going to be a surprise. So thanks to Josh

483
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: Kelly for his time. Also, we're able to sit down

484
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: with Chargers tight end Gerald Everett, entering his second season

485
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: with the Lightning Bolts. We got his thoughts on how

486
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: things are going here with Chargers siding Gerald Everett at

487
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: camp and Gerald for sext of the time, Man, how

488
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: you feeling today?

489
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: Feeling pretty good?

490
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: You know they want to pass glad Us over, but

491
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 5: feel pretty good, you know, just to get the rest off.

492
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: A little bit.

493
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: So for you, this is year two here with the Chargers.

494
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: A lot has changed new offensive coordinator from year one

495
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: to year two. How has this offense changed? What's different

496
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: now than was last year?

497
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: Well?

498
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 5: Last year, you know, obviously, as everyone saw, we kind

499
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 5: of stalled late in the season and that turned to

500
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 5: be our ending point. But we had a good offense

501
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 5: last year. The ends and owls are pretty complex for

502
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 5: opposing defenses. But this year, you know, we added a

503
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 5: few more kinks and as you see, we we've been

504
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 5: scoring a lot today and uh, I'm having a blast.

505
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 5: You know, Kellen has done a great job coming and

506
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 5: implementing a little bit of what they were doing last

507
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 5: year and kind of morphing it into what we were doing.

508
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: So it feels pretty good.

509
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: And what's it like playing? I mean, you're extremely talented

510
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: keenan aw and Mike Williams. Now you got Johnson in here,

511
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 2: justin Herbert a star with the new old c Like,

512
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: how do you get the most out of every person

513
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 2: in this offense?

514
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 5: Just holding each other accountable, treating every day is its

515
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 5: own entity. And you know, today I made sure I

516
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 5: wanted to tell my group for one, that I want

517
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 5: to treat every day in past like game day and

518
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 5: just kind of make that a routine. But you know,

519
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: like we have a bunch of stars, like you mentioned

520
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 5: before with the receivers and the running backs and obviously

521
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 5: with justin. You know, we just want to be as

522
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 5: best we can be for each other and you know

523
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 5: for the organization.

524
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, you guys, or you've been you know,

525
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: you were here before this, You've been a couple other places.

526
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: How does this offense that you're in now compared to

527
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: some of the other places, like you were you know,

528
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: the Rams and whatever. How does this compare to some

529
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: of the other the offenses you've been in?

530
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 5: Well, football is football, obviously, you know, having a spread offense.

531
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 5: I was blessed to go into Sean mcvay's offense my

532
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 5: rookie year in twenty seventeen, and you know, he taught

533
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 5: me the game really well, the ins and outs, and

534
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 5: he kind of simplified it for me for lack of

535
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 5: better words. But offenses offense around the league, we all

536
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 5: run similar concepts and it's just the terminology that really

537
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 5: differentiates each other. So but here, I mean it's pretty

538
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 5: it's pretty cut and dry. Everybody can play any spot,

539
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 5: so you really just have to know the concept rather

540
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 5: than your own position.

541
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: And you came here last year and you put up

542
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: a career year numbersise, You helped we play fantasy, You

543
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 2: helped a lot of people win in fantasy football. But

544
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: how do you continue then, coming off of your best

545
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: year as pro? How do you continue to better your game?

546
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 5: Really just trying to reach for the stars, man, Really

547
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 5: just not being content and just trying to be my

548
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 5: best self each year and trying to eclipse my previous production.

549
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 5: It's really helped me obviously coming from Seattle year ago,

550
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 5: you know, playing with DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Russell Wilson,

551
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 5: those all the great stars in the league, and you

552
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 5: know they'll continue to have success. But coming over here

553
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 5: with Justin and Keenan and Mike and now Quinton, we

554
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 5: just want to really reach for the stars and just

555
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 5: see how good we can really be.

556
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: You are playing the tight end position. I know all

557
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: people to always talk about it takes a little bit

558
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: longer to develop as somebody who's doing this. What is

559
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: it about being a tight end that takes maybe guys

560
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: a couple extra years to sort of get ingratiated and

561
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: integrated into the NFL.

562
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 5: Just finding your role within an organization that you play for.

563
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: Really also finding yourself in the league. I mean, everybody

564
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 5: has college success if you are fortunate enough to go

565
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: to the NFL. But really just trying to grow into

566
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: a young star and you know, do as best you

567
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 5: can for yourself and for your organization and just see

568
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: where that takes you.

569
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: And again playing fantasy and stuff, a lot of people

570
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: are going to be thinking about drafting you and your teammates.

571
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: Why should they be so excited about this Chargers offense

572
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: this year?

573
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 4: It's a freak show I have.

574
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 3: We have a bunch of stars, you know.

575
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 5: I really like to say that we have a super

576
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 5: team this year on both sides of the ball, not

577
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 5: just offense, but obviously we have Dervin James and Khalil

578
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 5: mac Joey Bosa, et cetera. And you know, we just

579
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 5: really want to just be as best we can be,

580
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 5: and we didn't. We didn't really end the year last

581
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 5: year on the best of terms and it left a

582
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 5: bat tation I'm out. So really, we just want to

583
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 5: see how far we can go. Because, as you guys know,

584
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 5: the NFL changes every year and roster changes every year,

585
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 5: so we can't tell the future. So we really just

586
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 5: want to be living the moment and just be in

587
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 5: the now.

588
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: You got a lot of height on this team. Oh yeah,

589
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean you guys gonna be some red zone monsters, right, Yeah.

590
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're definitely gonna throw a lot of jump balls.

591
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 5: But we have a lot of speed too. You know,

592
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 5: we're blessed to have height and ability and speed, so

593
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 5: it'll be it'll be interesting to see those three components

594
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 5: aligned when the season comes a.

595
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: Lot of former basketball players, it seems who who's got

596
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: the best game on and the past catchers.

597
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 5: I'd have to I'd be lying if I didn't say myself.

598
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 5: But obviously Keenan, he's a big hooper. Donald's a big hooper,

599
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 5: and uh, that's really all I've seen up to this point.

600
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 5: But you know, I went and doubt it, and we're

601
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 5: all athletes and we're all talented, so you know I

602
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 5: wouldn't I'd be lying for yourself.

603
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, for sure.

604
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: Hey, well, geral Man, we appreciate the time and that

605
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: best of luck to season.

606
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, man, Thank you having me on.

607
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: So we've talked about tight ends. We always need to

608
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: talk about the guys at the top. Everett sort of

609
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: falls into that category, kind of in the mid range

610
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: where you know he could finish in the top ten.

611
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: He could finish like you know, seventeen. Who knows what happens.

612
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: But how do you like him? Are you drafting him?

613
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: How are you how are you handling Gerald Evertt.

614
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 2: I don't want to draft Gerald Everett to be my

615
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: starting tight end just because there's a very crowded passing

616
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: attack there, but he's one of my favorite second day, Like,

617
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: if I miss out on the rookies as my tight

618
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: end too, I'll pivot to someone like Gerald Everett who's

619
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: in a high powered offense with a good quarterback coming

620
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: off of a career year. And you talk about liking

621
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 2: tight ends who've played basketball. Gerald Everett said he is

622
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 2: the best hooper on the Chargers, So I think he

623
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 2: got gets some credit for that.

624
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: I think he should get some credit for that. He

625
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: feels like another sort of really good best ball target

626
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: because he will have those spike weeks. But you don't

627
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: really want to have to try to figure out on

628
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: a weekly basis when you can put Gerald Everett in

629
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: your lineup because you know, more often than that, as

630
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned, with so many guys there, you could be

631
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: looking at a you know, three catch for you know,

632
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: thirty three yards and maybe a touchdown if you're lucky. Yeah,

633
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: but but it could be a frustrating ride week to

634
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: week With Gerald Everett, besketball seems like a much better

635
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: situation there. We are not done with our Charger interviews.

636
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break, we'll come back. We're gonna

637
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: talk to Austin Eckler, and we're gonna finish out Florio's

638
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: film festival as well. That's coming up here on the

639
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. So as our part of our

640
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: trip to Chargers camp, we had the chance to sit

641
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: down with Austin Eckler, who not only is one of

642
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: the top running backs in the game, he's also a

643
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: huge fantasy football fan. Yeah, and so we asked him

644
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: about that, about running backs and a whole lot of

645
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: other things. Take a listen here, Chargers training camp, a

646
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: chance to sit down with Chargers running back Austin Eckler.

647
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 6: Austin mant, how you doing, I'm doing great, man, Just

648
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 6: join this California weather Man plays of football.

649
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: It's hard to hard to beat this absolutely. So you

650
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: are entering year seven right now. Every year it seems

651
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: that there's more and more and bigger, better. How do

652
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: you keep finding new heights? And then what's the goal

653
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: individually heading into this next year.

654
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, for me, it's always been continue to stay consistent.

655
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 6: You know, whatever role you get, I don't know what's

656
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 6: going to be. It'll play out as the season continues

657
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 6: to go on. But as I continue to go through practice,

658
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 6: start to continue to build my role and I'll solidify

659
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 6: that and then it's be consistent within that. And how

660
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 6: I've been able to progress, you know, going back from

661
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 6: my special teams days to now, was hey, whatever it

662
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 6: is right, be the best in that. And then when

663
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 6: you prove that you can do that, guess what, they're

664
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 6: gonna put more on your plate and they're gonna be hey,

665
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 6: can you do this too? And that's how you continue

666
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 6: to develop as a player, it as just a human

667
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 6: being in general. So it's the same goals for me

668
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 6: this year, continue to be consistent and continue to put

669
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 6: some progress in our to our offense.

670
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 4: So I'm looking forward to doing that.

671
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: And you're one of the vets here now, so new

672
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: oc here justin Herbert, a lot of new talent brought

673
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: in the last couple of years. How can this offense

674
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: look different this year from what it's been in the past.

675
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: Couple of years. Uh, it comes down to a lot

676
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 4: of things.

677
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

678
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 4: There's so many different factors that make this game so

679
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 4: so great. Uh.

680
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 6: But when comes to just overall, I would say for

681
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 6: our offense, it's to continue to be consistent.

682
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 4: Right.

683
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 6: Consistency is key, right. We need to keep people healthy,

684
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 6: but regardless of who's on the field, it comes down

685
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 6: to us making plays when they come to us and

686
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 6: being consistent within that. You know, even with last year

687
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 6: with people banged up, we were still able to you know,

688
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 6: scratch our way into the into the playoffs. Obviously didn't

689
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 6: end the way we wanted it to. But for us,

690
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 6: how can we be consistent? How can we make plays?

691
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 6: We know we're bringing in more playmakers with the you know,

692
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 6: our first round pick Q. Looking forward to seeing him

693
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 6: out there in action and seeing some of these other

694
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 6: young guys step up as well. And so it's the

695
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 6: development of your team. All right, Yeah, this is what

696
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 6: you did last year. You're bringing some pieces back. Has

697
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 6: anyone grown right, is anyone playing above below where there's

698
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 6: their standard is and there's this big shuffle and you

699
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 6: try to find your rhythm. You try to find a cadence,

700
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 6: You try to find some type of chemistry that you

701
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 6: can move forward with.

702
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 4: And once you start finding that, you can hopefully get

703
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 4: into a rhythm.

704
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 6: But before you do that, right, you got to go

705
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 6: out here, go through the growing pains, and so it's

706
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 6: gonna be fun to find our consistency in our rhythm.

707
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: So they won in pads. You mentioned Quentin Johnson, some

708
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: of the young guys out here. Anybody who's immediately caught

709
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: your eye in practice immediately caught my eye.

710
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 6: I mean, Jay Herb's been looking looking great. But out

711
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 6: of the young guys, not necessarily. I think it's a

712
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 6: little earlier for that. Today was the first day in pads,

713
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 6: and you know, time will tell as that as that

714
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 6: plays out. I want to see some of these guys

715
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 6: on special teams. That's got a special place in my

716
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 6: heart because that's where I started. Yeah, that's where I started.

717
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 6: And uh so I want to see some some live

718
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 6: reps or some you know, more realistic reps the special

719
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 6: team before I start to make that assumption that people

720
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 6: are popping out and.

721
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: We're we're fantasy football guys. We know you are one

722
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: as well. So after you go first pick overall off

723
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: the board, who would you take second?

724
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 4: Overall? Second overall? Man, that's a good one.

725
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 6: There's there's a couple of good picks out there, you know,

726
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 6: Justin Jefferson is a good one. I like Saquon I like.

727
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 4: Like Jonathan Taylor. Shoot, there's I mean, I don't even know.

728
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know.

729
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 6: You go a receiver, You're going a running back first overall?

730
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 6: Is no question, right. I've always taken myself first. I

731
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 6: mean that's the only that's the only thing I can

732
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 6: ever control in fantasy football is the way I play.

733
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 6: And so it's a rare opportunity. And so yeah, if

734
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 6: I'm ever playing, yeah, I'll take myself first.

735
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

736
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: So Kellen Moore comes in, new offensive coordinator. You know

737
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: what what's different in this offense this year?

738
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: Hmmm?

739
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 4: Different?

740
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 6: You know, after this is my third offense I've been

741
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 6: a part of, and you know, all the players are

742
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 6: exactly the same. Alliver were saying, we were speaking different languages,

743
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 6: and so it comes down to how do you utilize guys,

744
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 6: how do you put them in the right space to

745
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 6: make you know their skill set the the most optimized

746
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 6: right for that play.

747
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: And so time will tell.

748
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 6: It's hard to tell this early because you know, coaches,

749
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 6: they don't necessarily get judged in preseason like we do.

750
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 6: They get judged during the season. You know, if you're

751
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 6: you're a good coach, you're just gonna play on the season.

752
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 6: You're not gonna be able to tellent pre season. What

753
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 6: are we talking about? You know, So it's gonna be

754
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 6: it's gonna be fun to see a play out. But

755
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 6: I do know I've been liking what I've been seeing

756
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 6: here in practice so far. Just been slinging that thing

757
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 6: around run game. You know, it kind of fits in

758
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 6: where it fits in. It's the same type of runs,

759
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 6: And now is just how do you utilize it? How

760
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 6: do you create a chemistry? What your identity as a team,

761
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 6: what's working? You know, where you strong, where you weak?

762
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 6: And how do you play around both?

763
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: And right now it's a little secret what's going on

764
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: around the NFL with the running back position.

765
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 6: What do you think the future looks like for the position? Yeah,

766
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 6: I mean the future for the position is the same as.

767
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,719
Speaker 4: It is right now. You know, we've been making an

768
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 4: impact on.

769
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 6: All teams across every single or every single team man,

770
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 6: so that's not going to change. You know, there's different

771
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 6: types of players more that some that make more impacts

772
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 6: than others. Absolutely, just like any other position. You know,

773
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 6: For us, you know, we're going to continue to work

774
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 6: as hard as we possibly can, and we're a pivotal

775
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 6: part in the offense to be able to run the ball,

776
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 6: be able to catch, be able to block for a quarterback.

777
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 6: And for us, I just want to see, you know,

778
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 6: an opportunity for those guys to actually go out there

779
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 6: and when they're on their contract here, get an opportunity

780
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 6: to find find a contract you know, for a that

781
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 6: that wants to have them and have them put their

782
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 6: their resources into their team instead of being you know

783
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 6: captured as a as a one year in this franchise

784
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 6: tag and then put all the pressure back on you

785
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 6: for all the risk. And now the organization limits their

786
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 6: risk and can potentially get you at a discount. And

787
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 6: so that that's why we're we're upset with that. But

788
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 6: for the future of the position, nothing's gonna change. We're

789
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 6: gonna keep making plays, keep scoring all the touchdowns, right,

790
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 6: I've scored thirty eight touchdowns here. I know all the

791
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 6: running back across the league were the ones who scored

792
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 6: the touchdowns, you know. And so you know, what's this point?

793
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 6: What's this game about? It's about points? Uh, it's about points.

794
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 6: So let's score, boys, score, keep making. If we're gonna

795
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 6: keep scoring points, man, we're gonna keep doing that, So

796
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 6: nothing's gonna change.

797
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't we ask you who the

798
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: number two pick was? The two of the three people

799
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: you name were running back? You through Stick calling out there,

800
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: you through Jonathan Taylor out there. I mean, I know

801
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: it's just the CBA is still a little ways away,

802
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: but is this Do you feel like this is gonna

803
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: be a point of contention when you guys to go

804
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: shaate that next?

805
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

806
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 6: You know, it's really tough because it's it's a whole

807
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 6: group collaboration when it comes to us in the CBA.

808
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 6: It's not just one person that takes individuals to put

809
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 6: things on the table to be discussed, but it's a

810
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 6: deeper discussion. And you know, I couldn't put myself in

811
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 6: a position right now to say, yeah, that's where we're

812
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 6: going to be talking about, because that's not for that's

813
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 6: not for me to say, but for me, I know,

814
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 6: we're always looking for ways to continue to protect ourselves

815
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 6: as players. That's why the CBA is where it's at today,

816
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 6: is because we have the scratch and claw to try

817
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 6: to get protection for ourselves as players. And now a

818
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 6: lot of that comes from players ourselves and being like, hey,

819
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 6: we went through this situation, this group went through this situation.

820
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 6: We want to change this and it's it's a it's

821
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 6: a back and forth, right, we got to collab with

822
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 6: the owners, and so for us moving forward, there's things

823
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 6: like this that happened between these ten years that we'll

824
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 6: remember and we'll write these down. We'll document all these

825
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 6: moments and see what what's worth fighting for, because that's

826
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 6: what it is.

827
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 4: When it comes to CBA negotiations.

828
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 6: It's it's a straight up, you know, negotiation and both

829
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 6: sides don't want to budge, and it's brutal, you know,

830
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 6: it's not it's not what you see in the media.

831
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 6: Meeta doesn't capture all this stuff, all this stuff that

832
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 6: happens behind the scenes for for good, you know, let's

833
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 6: let's keep it on football, but when it comes to

834
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 6: protecting our guys, we're definitely gonna stand up for what

835
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 6: we believe in.

836
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: And you mentioned that No scored more touchdowns in these

837
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: last couple of seasons. We've got a lot of air guitars. Yeah,

838
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 2: classic celebration. Are you already thinking ahead like you got

839
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: anything new in store for us this year?

840
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 6: When you're finding the more air guitar man a philadelpham consistent, Man,

841
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 6: you're gonna see me.

842
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: I would be gmming out on the end zone. You know.

843
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 4: I want that energy. That's the energy you feel.

844
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 6: I feel like when you're at a concert or anything

845
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 6: and they're playing like the best song or the best

846
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 6: part of the song.

847
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 4: It's like the energy that's in the stadium. Amount of

848
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 4: touch you ever for teammates to start playing, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

849
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 4: we've been We've been trying. We've been trying.

850
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, well we'll see if we can coordinate some

851
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: this year. All right, we were talking about this side.

852
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: So super Bowl is in Las Vegas this year. Let's say,

853

00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: bringing home when they hold the trophy.

855
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 4: First thing you do to celebrate after the Super Bowl.

856
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 4: So I actually live.

857
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 6: Off in the Las Vegas and so I can see

862
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 6: the plan.

863
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: Awesome.

00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,240

Speaker 6: I have Eckler's Edge as well. So if you want

873
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 6: some fantasy knowledge, come to it in check out.

874
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: Cool.

875
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 4: Appreciate it man, Yeah, yeah, thanks guys.

876
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: So, yeah, we talked about Eckler and you asked him,

877
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, after you take yourself first, who goes number two?

878
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you, would you spend the number one

879
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: overall pick on Austin Eckler this year?

880
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: I want to say yes, he is my RB one.

881
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: It is no secret. I have loved Austin Eckler for years.

882
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: The only reason I am going to say no is

883
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: because of the running back talent that is available in

884
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 2: round two. I just like, like, if I take Eckler

885
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 2: and then I'm looking for a receiver in round two,

886
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: versus if I take Jefferson and I'm looking for a

887
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: running back in round two, I feel much better about

888
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 2: the round two running back value. So it's the only

889
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: reason I would pass on him. But he is my

890
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 2: RB one, and that doesn't mean he's a lock to

891
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: finish as the RB one, But to me, he is

892
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: the safest running back to be like a top five

893
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 2: pick him or Christian McCaffrey, take your pick, but I

894
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: think those two are head and shoulders safer than every

895
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: running back in the league.

896
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: I have Austin Eckler as my RB one this year

897
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: just because what I saw for McCaffrey last year, the

898
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: Niners were using other running backs. He wasn't getting necessarily

899
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: the majority of snaps or the number of snaps that

900
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: he was getting when he was in Carolina. Whereas for Eckler,

901
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: I think his role stays pretty much the same as

902
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: it has been. You know, look, Josh Kelly, Isaiah Spiller,

903
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: these guys aren't going to significantly eat into his opportunities,

904
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: So that makes Eckler a little bit of a safer

905
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: option as my RB one. More often than that, I

906
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't take him as the number one pick. Overall,

907
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: it feels like a thing I would do if I'm

908
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: sort of playing around with lineups and roster builds. Right,

909
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: you do enough drafts, either enough mock drafts or the

910
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: best ball drafts, you want to sort of change it up.

911
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: So maybe I could see myself taking Eckler then, But

912
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if I'm doing a league where

913
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm really seriously trying to build a roster, I'm probably

914
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: not taking him number one. It's wild. It's wild. They

915
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: never are. Is there a running back you would take

916
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: number one? No?

917
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: Wow, No, I'm which is insane because like two years ago,

918
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 2: I was saying that, like your first two picks should

919
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: be running. But it's just the way to me. I

920
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: think there's like seven elite wide receivers and they're all

921
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 2: gone by the end of the first round. Whereas we

922
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: were saying, maybe get Jonathan Taylor in round three, you

923
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: could get Pollard Sakuon Chubb, Henry names like that. In

924
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: round two, it's just the running The receivers getting pulled

925
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: up have pushed the running backs down, which to me

926
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 2: makes me want to not pay up for a first

927
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: round running back.

928
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: No, that makes that makes absolute sense, And I think

929
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: everything you said is right. It's just wild about not

930
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: drafting a running back with the number one overall pick.

931
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean that was I mean, that was automatic for

932
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: so many years, absolutely automatic. But thank you to all

933
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: the folks who sat down with us there in coas

934
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: Ta MESA shout out to Austin Eckler, Josh Kelly, Gerald Everett.

935
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: Looking forward to watching the Chargers get into action. I know,

936
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: it's just kind of fun to watch. I mean, it's

937
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: kind of be up close and personal kind of watch

938
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: these guys practice earlier this week.

939
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, my biggest takeaway was they have a lot of size,

940
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: a lot of size. It looks like a basketball and

941
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: like Quentin Johnston stands out as like the big guy

942
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 2: amongst the big group of receivers.

943
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: Right that in the fact that we were sitting down

944
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: doing our interviews and there was another outlet doing interviews

945
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: just kind of next to us and Khalil Mack came

946
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: by with no shirt on. My goodness, his mean's.

947
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 4: Just a.

948
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: Head, just a physical specimen. It was. I mean, you

949
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: you you know that these guys are you know, abnormally

950
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: large and in incredible shape, but it's like when you

951
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 1: see it in person, it just sort of reinforces that hole.

952
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 2: I'm always reminded that, like, yeah, if some of these

953
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: d tackles wanted to, they can rip me in to pieces,

954
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 2: and like there's nothing I can do to stop them.

955
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, just a reminder too that like

956
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: the guys that are quote unquote slow are still faster

957
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: than the average human being. You know, some of these

958
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: linemen who are running you know, a a five four

959
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: forty five five forty, like that's still that's still fast,

960
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: pushing three bills, you know, like that's still really really fast.

961
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: So just it's just a reminder of what kind of

962
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: freak athletes some of these guys are out there all right.

963
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: Time to close the curtain on the Florio's Film Festival.

964
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: It felt like, with training camps starting and this being

965
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: movie number fifteen, this felt like a good way to

966
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: sort of wrap it up it so I wanted to

967
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: pick something that I thought would make an impact to

968
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: end the series, so I picked the movie Heat. These

969
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: synopsis A group of high end professional thieves start to

970
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: feel the heat from the LAPD when they unknowingly leave

971
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: a clue at their latest heist. Least December fifteenth, nineteen

972
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: ninety five. This was not a summer movie. This was

973
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: a late end of the year movie. A budget of

974
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars, grossed one hundred and eighty seven million worldwide.

975
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: When you start started to watch it, you sent us

976
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: the screenshot of the total running time. The TRT is

977
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: like two hours and fifty minutes, which puts it among

978
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 1: maybe the longest movies that I think we've watched this summer.

979
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: But your first thoughts on on watching Heat.

980
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: I really liked it. Well, one, I should have known

981
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 2: it was gonna be a long movie, because whenever you

982
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: get al Pacino and Robert de Niro together, you're in

983
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 2: for a long movie. It gave me, like, I'm a

984
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 2: big mob movie fan and stuff like it gave me

985
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 2: some Casino vibes a little bit little this movie, but

986
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it. I'm a big Robert De Niro fan.

987
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 2: Al Pacino is also great to two new fathers.

988
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: Congratulations, congregate each other them.

989
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was one of those movies where like

990
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 2: it's easy to follow, like you could miss a couple

991
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 2: of lines or something like that and you're like, Okay,

992
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: I know exactly what's going on still, but the dialogue

993
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 2: was great, Like in this scene where Pacino and De

994
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 2: Niro meet for the first time, they go get coffee

995
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 2: and they're talking and then Robert de Niro's like, listen,

996
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: we're having coffee. I know what you look like. I

997
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: will it will not stop me if you get in

998
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 2: my way. I'm like, ah, Like this is why I

999
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: love these movies for like those kind of dialogue.

1000
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: And I remember when this movie was first released, like

1001
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: that wasn't the scene that everybody was talking about. It's

1002
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: like we get de Niro and Pacino like on screen together,

1003
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: face to face, like just you know, two masters of

1004
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: their craft going at it. It was like going back

1005
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: and watching that scene again, like it's still hits.

1006
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: That was my favorite scene of the entire Like, I

1007
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: know there's much more exciting parts, but I like, to me,

1008
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 2: those are always the best part of movies like this,

1009
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 2: Like yeah, like I love in like goodfellows, like the dialogue,

1010
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 2: like when they're when they're worrying and stuff like that. So, yeah,

1011
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: finally I was waiting and when that happened, that that happens, right,

1012
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: and then there's a big shootout right after, I was like,

1013
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: how is there an hour left in there?

1014
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: Right? There's still a lot of time left in the movie.

1015
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: It's funny too, because that scene is it's the scene

1016
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: you get in a lot of movies, like a lot

1017
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: of superhero movies or good versus evil movies where it's like,

1018
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, the super villain and the superhero meet up,

1019
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: and there's always that like, you know, we're not so different,

1020
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: you and I, and that's kind of what that was.

1021
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: But it was so well done with two amazing actors

1022
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: that you don't you know, like in a lesser movie,

1023
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: it's just corny and terrible, but here it works really,

1024
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: really well. One thing about that al Pacino revealed that

1025
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: for that scene, Robert de Niro felt it shouldn't be

1026
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: rehearsed so that the unfamiliarity between the two characters would

1027
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: seem more genuine. The director Michael Man agreed, so they

1028
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: did that scene with no practice rehearsals.

1029
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 3: Really.

1030
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, was that like the first take? I think that

1031
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: might have been the first take.

1032
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 2: That is amazing. That makes that scene ten times even better.

1033
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they just sat down and again like

1034
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: two veterans who had been doing this for decades, and

1035
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: they just they just kind of got after it a

1036
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: little bit. The other big Appucine line was I mean,

1037
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: if I can quote it, she's got a good Apparently

1038
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: that was improvised and and Hank Kazaria said it scared

1039
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: the hell out of me because he didn't know what

1040
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 1: was coming. So the look of shock on his face

1041
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: was actually genuine because he said al Pacino terrified him

1042
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: in that scene.

1043
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: I love stuff like that. When there's like genuine, like

1044
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 2: not rehearsed or first take or anything like that, it

1045
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 2: always makes me appreciate a scene even more.

1046
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's funny because I guess the characters reading this.

1047
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: Pacino's character actually was supposed to have kind of a

1048
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: cocaine addiction, and I don't think they really showed that

1049
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: in the movie, but that was supposed to explain his

1050
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: weird outbursts and his weird emotional you know.

1051
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 2: Charges So I will I was like, this guy is

1052
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 2: very invested in his job. Yeah, like he he that's

1053
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: what he lived. Also, the one question I had, okay

1054
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 2: it won. It was very cool being in LA and

1055
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: like hearing the streets and everything like that. But the

1056
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 2: largest shootout in LA history occurs, right. They run like

1057
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 2: one block to a grocery store and everyone there is

1058
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: completely oblivious as to what is going on.

1059
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: I was like, you would think that you would hear

1060
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: all the gun shots.

1061
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 2: It was a war scene half a block down, like,

1062
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: But besides that, I thought the movie was extremely well done.

1063
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean there was like I mean, they

1064
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: literally was. It was a war zone in downtown Los Angeles.

1065
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 2: And Robert de Niro will not be stopped in them,

1066
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: Like he grabs his boy and is running through shooting. Yeah.

1067
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: I was like, this is well.

1068
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: So in that scene you have Val Kilmer, who you know,

1069
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: he's pinned down. It looks like he immediately, you know,

1070
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: changes changes the clip in his gun and keeps firing.

1071
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: He was apparently thrilled to learn that that moment in

1072
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: the movie where he runs out of bullets rapidly changes

1073
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: his magazine. It's regularly shown to marine recruits as an

1074
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: example of how to perform the action properly that.

1075
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I might be bragging about that too.

1076
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: I do this better than people do it for a list,

1077
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 1: So like the you know, the Marines use that scene

1078
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: as a little bit of a training example for that.

1079
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,959
Speaker 1: It's interest because Val Kilmer's character is the only one

1080
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: of the of the thieves that survives. Everyone else dies,

1081
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: except he ends up leaving with the money and leaving

1082
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: without the thing he wanted most, which is his wife

1083
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: and kid. He had to abandon them.

1084
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 2: Basically, I do like that, like you have to make

1085
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: sacrifices to you know. I never like when stuff is easy.

1086
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 2: But and the same point of time, I said that

1087
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 2: expression wrong. But I don't know. Maybe it's me. When

1088
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: I watch movies like this, I am not rooting for

1089
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 2: the good guys. Like I'm not rooting for al Pacino

1090
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 2: to catch Robert de Niro. I'm rooting for Robert de

1091
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 2: Niro to get away.

1092
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 4: I see.

1093
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: I watched it, and I don't think I had a

1094
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: rooting interest at all. I was just more interested in

1095
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: sort of the cat and mouse aspect of it, you know,

1096
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: because in essence, the two main characters are very similar.

1097
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: They're just there opposite sides of the same coin. There

1098
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: are two guys who are just obsessive with what they do,

1099
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: who struggle with interpersonal relationships, but who are very, very

1100
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: good at their respective jobs. And so for me, it

1101
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: was just interesting to kind of watch those two guys,

1102
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, kind of go up against each other there.

1103
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 2: I don't I could be wrong, but I my like

1104
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 2: in movies like this, like crime mob movies, I think

1105
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 2: Robert de Niro is the perfect actor every time. Like,

1106
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 2: I think he crushes every role because his characters are

1107
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 2: always different, like intimidation in different ways, and Casino he's

1108
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 2: more like buttoned up and trying to be level headed.

1109
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 2: But he always, in my opinion, just like steals the show.

1110
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, absolutely, I mean he and Pacino were amazing

1111
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: in this one.

1112
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1113
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: In order to prepare the actors for the roles of

1114
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: Neil McCauley's crew, Michael Manson, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, and

1115
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: Robert Dener at a folesome state prison to interview actual

1116
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: career criminals, Okay, kind of wild. It seems kind of intense.

1117
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 2: Again, whenever actors go to this level to get into

1118
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 2: their character, I think it's amazing.

1119
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is pretty amazing. So I mean, I mean,

1120
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: I ask you. I think I know what the answer is.

1121
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: Would you willingly watch this movie again?

1122
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:08,959
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1123
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 2: I probably would soon, just because I'm one of the

1124
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 2: like I always pick up on stuff better a second viewing.

1125
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 2: So this is one that I will definitely be watching again.

1126
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1127
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: No, it's a I hadn't watched it start to finish

1128
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: in a long time and was reminded how amazing this

1129
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: movie actually was. So all right, So here we go.

1130
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: Fifteen movies in the books. You have been ranking them.

1131
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: It's time to unveil your final rankings.

1132
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 2: Here and usual Fantasy. I'll give them in tears too.

1133
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 2: So there's a top three for me, and pulp fiction

1134
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: is one. Crimson Todds two. Heat was three. I went

1135
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 2: back and forth on two and three. I would watch

1136
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 2: all of these movies over again. They were clearly in

1137
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 2: my opinion, the top three a big second tier. I

1138
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 2: have Speed at four point, Break at five, Conair at six,

1139
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 2: Terminator two at seven, Mission and Possible at eight, The

1140
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: Rocket nine, and Independence Day at ten sorry Patrick Claybond,

1141
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: and then the final tier from Dusk Till Dawn at eleven,

1142
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 2: Desperado at twelve. But then the bottom three are really

1143
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: in their own face Off at thirteen, the Last Action

1144
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 2: Hero at fourteen, and my least favorite movie by far

1145
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 2: that we watched this summer was Armageddon.

1146
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I really thought Face Off was gonna was gonna

1147
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,479
Speaker 1: land in the bottom, But there were others that were

1148
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: there worse.

1149
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 2: Huh. The memes won it for me and face Like

1150
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 2: every once in a while, I still see a meme

1151
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 2: that's like, here's Nick Cageen and then it's just a

1152
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 2: picture of like John Travolta up laughing at that. There's

1153
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 2: no redeeming qualities for Armageddon, and the Last Action Hero

1154
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: was just one that was hard for me to get to.

1155
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I said at the time, like fourteen

1156
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: year old and me would have loved The Last Action Hero.

1157
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: But we live in a world where Fast X exists,

1158
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: and so like what what what the Last Action Hero

1159
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: was sort of doing like as a joke, like the

1160
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: Fast series is like doing for real Now.

1161
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 2: It would have impossible for us to get through the

1162
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 2: Film Festival final time without mentioning Fast. That was like

1163
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 2: the movie of our summer. Yeah, it was the movie.

1164
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it's sort of what kind of launched this

1165
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: whole thing, right. I mean my thing was if you

1166
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: like Fast and the Furious, you should watch Point Break

1167
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: and that kind of helped us get into this whole thing.

1168
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 2: And you, I know you've seen all of these movies,

1169
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: but you binged while I was watching these. You binged all.

1170
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: Of the fact that I binged all of the Fast.

1171
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 1: I will say, there's a point when they all kind

1172
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: of run together.

1173
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like five through five on they all kind of.

1174
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: Seen the same sort of run together after a little bit.

1175
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: But you know, like at some point you're also like,

1176
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: these are ridiculous. I'm just gonna lean into it. We're

1177
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 1: gonna enjoy like you just turned the brain off.

1178
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 2: We were talking about it before. But for some reason,

1179
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 2: producer hype them. Kalani loves to watch Tokyo Drift and

1180
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 2: to me, it is.

1181
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: The one of the series. It's the worst one in

1182
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: this series, and he loves it. He actually, like genuinely

1183
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: loves it. I don't know. I don't know why we're friends.

1184
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't understand it anyway.

1185
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 3: Should we call it?

1186
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: Should we call the Seattle Receiver drift King Metcalf?

1187
00:51:58,680 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 2: Why have we never thought of that?

1188
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: Which call them drift King? Metcalf.

1189
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 2: Now that's solely what I'm I'm just gonna be like

1190
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 2: drift King.

1191
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett and drift King Metcalf, you know, Jackson Smith

1192
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: and Jig but the whole the whole crew there Metcalf there,

1193
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: it is all right. That's a way to sort of

1194
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: end this one. We appreciate you hanging out with us.
