Speaker 1: up the bottom of this hour, and Elliott I will

26
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: say this, Does this mean that since Belichick and Brady

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: and company have been struck down, they will return more

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: powerful than you can imagine next season? No, no, not

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: in no, man, Paul Tagleyboo. So you don't understand. I

30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: just asked you a question. Remember how when Obi Wan died,

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: he came back as like one died, you ruined if not,

32
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: and he came back as like the hologram of himself.

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: Paul Tagley Boo was like the evil Emperor. And he's

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: coming back as a hologram of himself. And this is

35
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: basically he is looking over the NFL universe saying, parody ball.

36
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: This is what I envisioned exactly, parody football. That laugh.

37
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: Oh no, I I didn't. I didn't. I couldn't remember

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: how Paul taglably laughed. I kept racking my brain and

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever heard the man laugh. Uh

40
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: my apologies. In seventeen years as commissioner, I don't think

41
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: you ever laughed. However, that's what you get when you're

42
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: on pro Zel's legal team. That said, uh, I just

43
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: don't see the Patriots coming back any stronger. This is

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: where the NFL is set up. Look, it's mediocre football.

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: That's the great thing about our game is that Week one,

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: every team has a shot, legitimate shot. I'm gonn look

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: at the Colts this year, right one, eleven and five.

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: Nobody saw that coming. Unfortunately, it also means that the

49
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: good teams just can't stay on top. The Patriots have

50
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: kind of stayed on top. But you can't have dynasties

51
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: with all the player movement now, salary cap, free agency,

52
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: West Welker dropping passes, dropping passes. But even then, you know,

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: take last year's Super Bowl. Did you really feel like

54
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: we were watching the two best teams in the NFL

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: When we watched the Super Bowl last year, one of

56
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: the two best teams, and then the Patriots were the

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: at very worst, the second best team. But no, the

58
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: nine and seven team that does that and gets woken

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: up because Rex Bryan opens his mouth week seventeen, weeks sixteen. No,

60
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: the Giants weren't the best team. They got hot at

61
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: the right time. Okay, let me ask you this. Did

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: you think that that Patriot team last year was as

63
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: strong as say, the team that lost to the Jets

64
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: and went fourteen in two, or the seven team that

65
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: went undefeated, or the two thousand three two thousand four

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: back to back champions. The seven team I think was

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: the strongest one because they you know, you go by,

68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: that's team that had the best defensive players. You know,

69
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: they still had a really good guy. You know, every

70
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: talks about Belichick being a genius and the whole thing

71
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: with the with the Patriots and why, but you know, yeah,

72
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: anybody can look like a genius when you have Ted Johnson,

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Teddy Bruski, Richard Seymour, Sante Samuel, Rodney Harrison, you have

74
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: close to Hall of Fame caliber guys playing for you

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: on defense, Yeah, you look like a defensive gene is.

76
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: You can get by with playing Troy Brown as a

77
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: slot corner when you have those kinds of guys on

78
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: the field. I could play slot corner, But now that

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: the years have gone by, that's a stretch. Well, I

80
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: mean I could. I could. I could guard like ten

81
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: yards and in I would need deep help I would

82
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: need Once he got by me, I would have to

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: let him go. But you know that that's the case now,

84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: Is that with this Patriots team, the defense not get

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: any better. You can argue it's getting worse and it's

86
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: not good enough to win games, especially when the offense

87
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: has a subpart day like they had on Sunday. It's

88
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: it's you know, that's the that's the air of the

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: Patriots right now. They're more nineteen eighties Chargers than they

90
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: are modern day dynasty. A team that looks great on offense,

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: and we'll put up a whole bunch of points, but

92
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: eventually they're gonna fall short because they're gonna play against

93
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: a team that's more well rounded than they are. I

94
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: completely agree with you, and you're just basically backing up

95
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: my point that that am I then I totally disagree

96
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: with what you said. Well, you can't keep all those

97
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: great defensive players. I mean, that's the bottom line. And

98
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: some of the guys that you named were aging players.

99
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: That's the only reason they were able to hang onto them.

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: The way the league works now, Oh, you're just not

101
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna I mean, I'd be surprised that the Patriots make

102
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl next year. It's just not set up

103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: that way. And I know we think of New England

104
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: as a dynasty, but let's get real here, guys in

105
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: New England has won the Super Bowl and eight years,

106
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, eight years since they stopped having the other

107
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: teams plays. That's when they that's when they stopped winning

108
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: cookies and cream. You know what. Honestly, tell me, tell

109
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: me that's not going to be how people look back

110
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: at the entire era of the Patriots. The last fifteen years.

111
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: People are gonna say they were great and then when

112
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: they didn't have the plays. It's very rudimentary and it's

113
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: very it's very basic to say it, but that's how

114
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: people are looking. So, yeah, they're great when the knew

115
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: the place could be. I mean, defensively, they're definitely not

116
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: the team that they that they used to be. They

117
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: were never a great defensive team. They were always a

118
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: good defensive team. Uh you know, they give up way

119
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: too many big plays on the back end. In fact,

120
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: this year they gave up the most big plays. I'm

121
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: talking about plays with twenty plush yards in the NFL. Uh.

122
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: But again, I you know, and I hate. I know,

123
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: we always throw around the salary cap when we throw

124
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: around free agency, and I know it's been around for

125
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: almost twenty years, but Jason free agency came in the

126
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: ninety three. Salary cap came in the very next year,

127
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: and ninety four. You know, Reggie White was the first

128
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: big and when he went to like seventeen different cities

129
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: on his free agency tour, Yeah, and God told him

130
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: to go to Green Bay exactly. Everybody remembers that story.

131
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, it took several years for guys in

132
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: the front office to figure out what's the best way

133
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: to attack free agency in the salary cap. You don't

134
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: just start playing risk or access and allies and start

135
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: dominating people. You get your butt kicked the first time

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: you play a board game like the same deal here, Okay,

137
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: same deal. Guys knew how to find loophole's. Jerry Jones

138
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: and forty Nars Carmen policy. Remember, gotten a lot of

139
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: trouble for circumventing the salary cap with those Niners teams.

140
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: No one had a capologist in the front office. Now

141
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: all these teams have somebody who knows how to work

142
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: the salary cap. The Patriots were one of the first

143
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: teams to figure out, forget trying to sign the big

144
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: name free agent. We're just gonna go after the mid

145
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: level guys, the Mike Rabels, the guys that can help

146
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: us out in this specific area. We need you to

147
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: be a personal protector on the punt team. We need

148
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: you to play a little outside linebacker for us. You know,

149
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: That's that's what teams figured out once teams started figuring

150
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: out free agency salary caps circuit two thousand. Then you've

151
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: noticed it's all been parody since what dynasties have there been? No,

152
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: all the teams end up eroding. And so to say, well,

153
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: New England come back bigger and batter. Maybe maybe if

154
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: they if they draft really really well, Uh, they have

155
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: some good young players. I will say that they have

156
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: some really good young players. But uh, you know, by

157
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 1: the way, Tom Brady isn't getting younger. Was fourteen season

158
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: next year? Elliott, you you gotta remember this, No think

159
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: about this for me. Whatever. Every everybody says, all Jason

160
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: is a Jet fan. You'll look I'm loud. Yeah, I'm

161
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: Bruce Harper I'm a Bruce Harper birthday. You're a You're

162
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna be forty this year right now? Yeah? Lie

163
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: about your age. I know you lie about your not

164
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: You graduated college in four and yet somehow you still

165
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: say you're thirty eight years old. That the first thing

166
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: I did when I celebrate graduate college that random to

167
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: the theater to see Dune. Really seeking Susan. I like

168
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: how you brought up risk? Risk is Madagascar? Right? You

169
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 1: gotta get Madagascar? Okay? Risk? All right? So Jason Smith,

170
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison from NFL Fantasy Live, NFL Network here, Uh,

171
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiando stopping by in a few minutes. Let let's

172
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: push things forward. Here's talking if you're as we look

173
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: forward to the super Bowl here and talk what we're

174
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: gonna see in a couple of weeks and what we've

175
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: seen fantasy wise. If you're in a playoff pool, some

176
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: kind of playoff pool, you're you're going forward here, and

177
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: who's your quarterback for the Super Bowl? Who's gonna have

178
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: the bigger day? Is it gonna be Colin Kaepernick, It's

179
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: gonna be Joe Flacco. Who's the guy you pick for

180
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: the bigger week overall in two weeks. I don't see

181
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: either one having a monster game. I really don't. Or

182
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: is it Alex Smith off the bench? No, I would.

183
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: I would take Kaepernick. I would because I don't think

184
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens have the speed on the outside. All it

185
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: takes is one, you know, It's kind of like the

186
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson rules, and suddenly we're having a big day.

187
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Kaepernick busts out a fifty yard run. That's let's say

188
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't even score, okay, five points. It's gonna be

189
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: hard for Joe Flacco to get five points on this team.

190
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: It could be because he could easily throw an interception

191
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: and be at minus two in the first quarter. So

192
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Flacco is gonna end up with five points.

193
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I see Flacco on a good day,

194
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: having a fifteen to twenty point fantasy game. Kaepernick is

195
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: capable of much more, and I dis like the potential.

196
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what's more likely Kaepernick breaking off a run

197
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: or and maybe scoring on a touchdown or Flacco completing

198
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: two bombs because that's what it would take because you

199
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: get one point every twenty five yards. Well, we saw, yeah,

200
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't. Did you think that was gonna

201
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: happen to the Niners defense in the first half of

202
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: the first quarter and a half when Julio Jones was

203
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: getting behind the defense like he did. I didn't think

204
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: that was gonna happen. No, but it happened. But I

205
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: I felt like there was a little bit of hangover

206
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: from the Packer game. They've got two weeks to prepare

207
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: for this game. The look at the forty Niners. Okay,

208
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: I guess here's what I'm saying. Take the last two years.

209
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: Do you trust Joe Flacco's body of work or do

210
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: you trust the forty Niners defense body work. I'll take

211
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: the forty Niners defense. They're gonna beat Flacco eight times

212
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: out of ten. But but and I agree with you,

213
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: I'll go Kaepernick slightly over Flacco. But I'm not gonna

214
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: totally discount Flacc's gonna a Kerry Collins type of going

215
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: to throw four picks, and I'll do it because I

216
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: could see him. Hey, I could see him throwing a

217
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown to Tori Smith. I can see that happening,

218
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: you bet, I just don't see happening twice. Yeah, you

219
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: know that's that's the problem. Look, Flacco could throw for

220
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: three twenty and a couple of touchdowns. Let's just use that.

221
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: In fact, let's use that exactly. That's a big day.

222
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: Threw a couple of touchdowns. That's thirteen almost thirteen. It's like,

223
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: what eighteen point eight points or something like that. Wait,

224
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: let me thank you. No, no, no, that's twenty one.

225
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, fire up the fantasy computer, and fantasy

226
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: computer can tell us. Yeah, actually it's a good idea.

227
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Think about that, fantasy computer. What do we say, three

228
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: twenty and three touchdowns? Right? Three twenty and two touchdowns?

229
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, well, eight to one eight? Elliot,

230
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: it's an idiot. Wow, whoa, whoa, easy there. I think

231
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: the fantasy computer has been upset. We didn't have the

232
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: fantasy computer with last week. He's a little upset. He

233
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: is upset with me. I mean, when I'm not feeling well. Yeah,

234
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: I generally shut him down. He doesn't feel like that's fair. No,

235
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: and he didn't. He didn't talk at all last Yeah.

236
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: And I always remind him, Hey, if I wasn't a

237
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: part of this deal, you probably wouldn't be either, you know.

238
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: And that's tough. His ego has got a little bigger.

239
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: He's still cute as could be. Don't get me wrong,

240
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah he is. But we had to hear more

241
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: from Fantasy Baine last week. Who did pain from Dark

242
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: Night Stop. Fantasy Predator has been coming by a lot

243
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: of guests. You know, we never know because I can't

244
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: see Fantasy Predator until I actually hear him say something. Okay, now,

245
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: now let's let's let's throw in a turnover somewhere fumble, loss, interception.

246
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: Now you're looking at nineteen point eight. That's a good game.

247
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: That's a good game. Do you think Colin Kaepernick can

248
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: put that up? I do. Yeah, I'm gonna go Kaepernick

249
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: slightly over over Flak. I'm with you on that. How

250
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: about running back Frank Gore? Ray Rice better matchup for

251
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, But ray Rice is the better player. Yeah,

252
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: I take ray Rice and now one's a little easier

253
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: for me. It's a good question. But they used the

254
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: Michael James a lot last week. Dixon even got in there.

255
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: I mean they they used a running back by committee.

256
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Gordon have a good game, but ray

257
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: Rice is gets so involved in the passing game as well. Remember,

258
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: we thought Marshawn Lynch would have a hard time against

259
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: the forty Niners defense, and he did. Find I would

260
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: take Ray Rice in this game because he's so involved

261
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: in the passing game. All right, wide receivers. If you

262
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: can pick two wide outs, you gotta play two wide

263
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: outs for your for next week. Who are the top

264
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: two guys you're picking? Mm hmm, it's it's tough because

265
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: an Juan Bolden is really coming on strong. Dwight Clark

266
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: and Andre Rice. Oh that's pretty good, and then rise

267
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: and throws a Super Bowl ring into the river. I'm

268
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: gonna go ant Kwan Bolden and Michael Crabtree. Really yeah, see,

269
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Tori Smith and Crabtree just because I think,

270
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: just because I think of the big play uh production there.

271
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't see Bolden having a big day. But look,

272
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: I Bolden is one of those Fantasy wise, how incredibly

273
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: difficult was he to gauge this year? He was an

274
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Kon Bolden. You didn't want to play him, He didn't

275
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: want to play him. Three weeks with a touchdown, you

276
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: didn't want to play him. You didn't want to play him.

277
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: Then he disappeared again. Now he's showed up and he's

278
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: been red hot in the playoffs. He looks he looks

279
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: like he's five years younger than he is, the way

280
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: he's making plays over the defense yesterday. Yeah, he got

281
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: a good point. I mean, not only was he difficult

282
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: to gauge, but it's difficult to spell gauge. Do you

283
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: do G A G E or g aug? I have

284
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: there's an at the end of the yug you spelled dog, yeah,

285
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: which I think is a unit. I think is is

286
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: is something that that warcraft I think, right, that's what's

287
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: the goolag. No. Goulag is like where they keep prisoners

288
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: in the war, Right, isn't that in a world warcraft case?

289
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: You have a hang on, let me look up goolag

290
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: right here. Uh. It was a Soviet Union government agency

291
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: that administered the main Soviet forced labor campsus times during

292
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: the Stalin era. Thank you, thank you. See this is

293
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: how fast computers are now with I knew its g

294
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: A U G E. I'm just saying it's the U.

295
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: Let me see when you when you say I'm gonna

296
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: gauge the difference between this and this, Do you just

Speaker 1: if you type in gog, it says, did you mean engage?

304
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: So just so you know, all right, So that's Ramons

305
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: had otto wanna be buried in a pet cemetery already

306
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: cemetery An Kwan Bolden. The problem with him is that

307
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: when he's covered, he's open. He and Flacco have the

308
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: back shoulder thing down so well, and I could not

309
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: understand it. Yesterday The Patriots dbs played so well the

310
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: whole game, right up until you tweeted that they played

311
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: well yes and then and then they weren't turning around

312
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: and Bolden, he has no ups okay, but the guy

313
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: attacks the football. For a guy that has no ups,

314
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: he will elevate himself enough and he meets the ball

315
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: without sitting there and pulling the old Miles Austin. I'm

316
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: just gonna let it flutter into my hands, you know,

317
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: And it's it's tough to defend. And I think that

318
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: the the Niners secondary, particularly Goldson, who took some risks

319
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, got burned. I think those guys are

320
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: really gonna be worried about Tory Smith. And I think

321
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna take what they can get, which

322
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: is Ray Rice and Bolden maybe do a lesser extent

323
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: Dennis Pitta. Who do you take it? Tied in Vernon

324
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Davis or I'm gonna I'm gonna you know, Vernon Davis

325
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: is getting hot, So I'm gonna stick with Vernon Davis.

326
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: Hit it is somewhere now where he's not gonna suddenly

327
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: be a totally huge weapon, where Davis looks like he

328
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: can be if teams are gonna overplay Crabtree now because

329
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: Crabtree has become such a good option for Kaepernick. So

330
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna lean towards Vernon. Never thought I'd

331
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: say this a week ago, but I'm leaning towards Vernon Davis. Well,

332
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens certainly had their handsful with Aaron Hernandez last week.

333
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. How much of that was

334
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: a product of the Patriots offense. So I mean, the

335
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Patriots offensive, a guy like Hernandez catches eight balls for

336
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: seventy yards, it seems so unspectacular because they're running seventy

337
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: five plays from scrimmage. You know, when you catch eight

338
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: balls is a tight end in a typical offense that

339
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: runs fifty five plays. That's something when you do it

340
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: in the Patriots offense. You know. I don't want to

341
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: disparage him. I'm just saying that it doesn't seem like

342
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: as much. Do you know the Patriots ran I believe

343
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: it was forty two offensive plays in the first half.

344
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: That's insane. That's insane for the Jets. That's a whole game.

345
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: That's three games. The number is eight eight to six

346
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: A two eight XM Fantasy Jason Smith, Ellian Harrison. We

347
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: are efforting Michael Fabiano from the Fantasy Sports Writer Association

348
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame festivity is going on right now in

349
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Will continue to look back at yesterday's action

350
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: and what that means spinning forward fantasy wise, and also

351
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: talk to FATS about is pretty interesting in you with

352
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: Steven Jackson wondering where he's gonna wind up playing next season.

353
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: That more coming up next on series two ten. If

354
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: you like the NFL, you're going to like NFL Fantasy

355
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: Live on Sirius Sex on Fantasy Sports Radio, NFL Fantasy Live,

356
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: Jason's Elliott, that's because I turned the temperature all the

357
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: way down. It was hot because I walked up all

358
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: the stairs to get here. So that's the first thing

359
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: David Ross says in this you we thought you were

360
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: pointing at the thermostat it looked like you didn't say

361
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: I can't do better fantasy math. That was terrible on flak.

362
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: I was just having a brain. I don't know what

363
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: happened in that first segment. Oh that's right. Look, it

364
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: was a bad It was a bad first few minutes

365
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: for any Patriots fans listening. But I can make Patriots

366
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: fans happy. The Jets were in town today to to

367
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 1: play and they lost. Jets came into Boston and they

368
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: lost today. Of course it was the Winnipeg Jets who

369
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: lost to the Boston Bruins too one. But still, when

370
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: the Jets are in town and they lose, it's gotta

371
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: make Patriots fans. Peter Brock, the quarterback, I think he

372
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: was Vince Fargamo came in played a little bit in

373
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: the second half, and Pat Hayden actually came in as well.

374
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: I think he took a couple of snaps right before halftime. Well,

375
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, we have a guy joining us who has

376
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: all events fa Agamo's football cards. Does he have all

377
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: of that at home in Connecticut? Yes? I didn't have,

378
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano, you have all events for Agamos football cards

379
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: at home? No, that's out of break. Oh I thought

380
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: that elliost said that was you. He's gay rams guy.

381
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 1: I have got all Danny White cards. By the way,

382
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: Harry Harrison, there's a there's a rumor going around here

383
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: in Vegas that you're dating man Tito's ex girlfriend. Is

384
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: that true? Wow? Wow, been waiting for five days to

385
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: run that. It's the talk of the strip out here, Harrison,

386
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: And no it's not true. Well, no, I gotta be honest.

387
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: You know, I've had a reputation for a long time

388
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: as a player, and I do have a bad habit

389
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: of dating five imaginary girlfriends at once. Got to work

390
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: on it. Um Uh, you know, I'm trying to Commitment

391
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: is something I'm working on. I'll say this though about him,

392
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 1: who who amongst us hasn't lied about a girl they

393
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: were dating, or a girl they you know, got together with. No. No,

394
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't mean that. No, not not not to keep

395
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: the not to keep it when it became national news. No,

396
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever lied about dating a girl,

397
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: because then if the truth comes up, boy, you look bad.

398
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: I mean, Harrison doesn't have that problem. Any girl that

399
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: Harrison wants he gets. That's why he's dating man Tite.

400
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: I was like, you try driving a seventy eight blue

401
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: Toyota Celica with a manual sun roof, but all you

406
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: of blue green I think Elliott changes the color to.

407
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: You should have come out here. You could have been

408

440
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: On that note, regarding your your playoff Challenge League team,

441
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: and you and I had a lot of the same guys,

442
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: so both of our teams went kaboom. But Jason I

443
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: were just discussing if you're playing right now, the decision

444
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: you have to make it wide receivers really tough. Jason

445
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: has crab Tree and Tory. I've got crab Tree and

446
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: a Quan. Who would you say? Man? And Quan has

447
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: been good in these playoffs, hasn't he? And us he

448
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: was the guy last week? Uh the week before obviously,

449
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: it was to who who really made mids me of

450
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: Champ Bailey. To me, I'm probably going with An Koon Bolden,

451
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: a guy who's been in this game before and it's close.

452
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: If you even look at their fantasy points during the

453
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: regular season, they're pretty close or just about the same player.

454
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: Smith had more yards. I believe an Kuan had more touchdowns,

455
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: But um, it's really a coin toss the question, guys,

456
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: And I'm I started Kaepernick last week, so I'm going

457
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: with Kaepernick again. And obviously, you guys know I love Kaepernick.

458
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: But Joe Flacco has been this year's Eli Manning in

459
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: the playoff challenge. The guy has been phenomenal in the

460
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: regular season. He can't win a game on the road,

461
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: he can't play he doesn't play well on the road,

462
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: no stats, and now he's the second coming of Joe Montana.

463
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: So is Flacco the better fantasy option than Colin Kaepernick

464
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: for people who need to pick one of those two quarterbacks?

465
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: That's a good question. You know. Late in the year,

466
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: uh I sat with Marcus Grant, who's gonna be joining

467
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: us later, our fantasy editor, and we went over home

468
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: and road with all the top quarterbacks in fantasy in

469
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: The disparity on Joe Flacco's home road breakdown was insane.

470
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: It was over ten points the disparity. This was late

471
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: the year. He may have brought it back closer at

472
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: the end of the season. But I agree with you, Fabs.

473
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: It's it's unreal what he's been doing. And I think

474
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: making the comparison to ELI last year's playoffs is keen

475
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: because not only are they both producing, but Jason, they're

476
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: both throwing the deep ball. That's what Eli did so

477
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: well in the playoffs last year, and that's what Flacco

478
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: has done well this year. Alright, Fabs, let's let's take

479
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: a look here for a second. I talked about this

480
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: right right before uh we went we went to break here.

481
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: You had a pretty interesting interview with Steven Jackson a

482
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: couple of days ago here at NFL Networking, and I

483
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: know everybody wants to know where he's gonna play next season.

484
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: And he had a couple of bombshells for you in

485
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: the interview, didn't he Yes. Number one, Steven's a great

486
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: guy man. You guys know we've all interviewed players before.

487
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: He is one of the He is one of the

488
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: five or time best guys have interviewed. Very very nice person, uh,

489
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: really outgoing and he was very forthcoming as well, so

490
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: and I talked to him about his future because that's

491
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: kind of the elephant in the room with Stephen Jackson,

492
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: where is he gonna play next season? Well, he really

493
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: didn't say, uh. He said that there's been talks back

494
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: and forth between his people and the Rams, that the

495
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: Rams or class organization, they've treated him well, but if

496
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't get back in St. Louis well, retirement becomes

497
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: an option. And what he really was stressing to me

498
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: was that, you know what, Physically he feels good, you know,

499
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: he and he doesn't want to go out too late.

500
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: He'd rather go out too soon. So if they can't

501
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: get something going on between the Rams uh and his people,

502
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: it could be a case where Stephen Jackson pulls a

503
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders and he decides to retire before his thirtieth birthday.

504
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: I also asked him, well, in that scenario and you're

505
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: not back again, how does dear Richardson look to be

506
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: in that featured back roll that he was so successful in.

507
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: And he told me that much like when Marshall Falk

508
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: was on the Rams when he came into the league

509
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: in two thousand four, he has really sort of taken

510
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: Richardson under his wing, and Richardson has been there to

511
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: learn for Steven Jackson, just like Steven learned from Marshall.

512
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, guys, this is a situation

513
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: that we really need to watch because if Steven Jackson

514
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: does decide to retire, well, Darryl Richardson is gonna be

515
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: on the top of just about every fantasy sleeper list

516
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: for a guy to definitely watch out for if he's

517
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: if he's the number one running back in St. Louis

518
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: going to the next season, whether Steven Jackson is gone

519
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: or retired, where do you have where do you draft him?

520
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: Right now? I think he's a two or a flex

521
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: somewhere in that area. That the running back position has

522
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: gotten deeper, guys, and we all know that it's gotten

523
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: deeper because of several reasons. We had three superstar rookies

524
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: come into the league in Trent Richardson, Doug Martin, and

525
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris. We're going to have uh, no questions about

526
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson coming off of an A c L. The

527
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: same thing with Jamal Charles. We're not gonna have to

528
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: worry about that. Maurice Jones Drew will be back next

529
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: season healthy and ready to roll. At least we assume

530
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: he will be. Lashawn McCoy is going to be back

531
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: in I love him now in that Chip Kelly offense.

532
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: I've moved him back to top five among running backs,

533
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: so there's more depth there than there was coming into

534
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: last season because we had so many committee messes and

535
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But I still think Richardson's got

536
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: to be up there in the top twenty, which is

537
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: gonna make him a running back cool you'll draft in.

538
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: I would probably guess round five, round six, as a

539
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: two or a flex starter, but again, it all depends

540
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: on what happens with Steven Jackson and um. I did

541
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: get the sense that if he's not a RAM, I

542
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: don't know that he'd come back, but that remains to

543
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: be seen. I know a lot of teams would like him.

544
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: Elliott I actually brought him up. Uh. I brought it

545
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: up that his dad as a Cowboys fan. And this

546
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: is just me lamenting on the Cowboys. Remember that they

547
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: could have drafted him, you know, four, and they passed

548
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: him up. They passed him up, And I said, I'm

549
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: telling you, Stephen, I was so mad when the Cowboys

550
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: didn't draft you. And this was off this was off camera,

551
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, he's like they made a big mistake.

552
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: It's like, how many running backs that they had since

553
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: I've been in the league. I'm not one that's been

554
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: as good as you, my friend. Well, what they did

555
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: is they passed up Stephen Jackson. They traded down so

556
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: they could get Julius Jones. But one thing about what

557
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: you were saying with Daryl Richardson, you know, they invested

558
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: the fiftie overall pick, second round pick, and Isaiah Pete.

559
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: Richardson they got way later in the draft. I believe

560
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: Richardson went in the seventh round and Pete was given

561
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: every opportunity. And it wasn't that Pete played so bad.

562
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: It was that Richardson was so good. And I watched

563
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: two Rams preseason games, which are those are two or

564
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: three hours of my life I will never get back. However,

565
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: was outstanding. Every time I watched him play, he was outstanding.

566
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: The only caveat I would say is Jeff Fisher has

567
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: this reputation for running the football and playing defense. There's

568
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: a little more of the meat. C I there the

569
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: Rams ranks in the league and rush percentage this year.

570
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: That means that they passed the ball a lot more

571
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: than they run the football. As compared to other teams

572
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: in the league, so it's tough to say where Richardson

573
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: should play in your lineup if he ends up being

574
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: the man. All right, it's NFL Fantasy Live. Jason Smith,
