WEBVTT - Eagles preview!

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 1>We gotta stay in the NFC East. As Chris Pavona

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>just played, We're gonna do a little motown Philly. I'm

0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:08.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you right now, guys, I'm high on this team.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.319
<v Speaker 1>This is my surprise pick in the entire NFC. I

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>think the Philadelphia Eagles are going to take a step forward.

0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing. Carson Wentz as their quarterback is fine.

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I expect him to take a step in year two.

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's gonna be great, but if you

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.759
<v Speaker 1>tell me he could be a reasonable proximity of a

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>guy like Andy Dalton, I would definitely agree with you.

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy who looked good at the beginning

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>of last year, then had his All Pro right tackle

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>gets suspended for ten games. That can do something to

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>your confidence and to the time that you have under center.

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>I think then the Eagles went out and got him

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 1>a ton of weapons. You get Lane Johnson coming back

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>at right tackle. That's in essence like signing one of

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the best offensive linemen on the free agent market. Okay,

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>so I think they're good on offensive line. This is

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>this is a team that I think made big time

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>splashes in free agency as well, and we start in

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>their running back room. I don't know if you know this,

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>but they signed la Garrett Blunt in the off season.

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>La Garrett Blunt was the ninth highest rated running back

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>in all of Fantasy last year. He's coming off a

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 1>season where he had eighteen touchdowns. There is no There's

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>only one other back that finished in the top twenty

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>five last year that switched teams. That's Latavius Murray going

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.679
<v Speaker 1>from Oakland to Minnesota. This is a big move for

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the Philadelphia Eagles, and what a perfect back to pair

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in the backfield with a guy like Darren Sprawls. Okay,

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>you got your thunder, you got your lightning. Listen, Darren Sprowls.

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>It's his last year. He's announced his retirement, but he's

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>still had fifty two catches, four seven yards and two

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in the air last year. Both of these guys

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>are gonna be able to do it now. I don't know,

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can understand how Legarrett Blunt might be

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>frustrating on a week to week basis. And even if

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>he I mean, he's not gonna score eighteen touch downs again,

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>even if he regresses, I still think he is an

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>RB two. I have him listed as my twenty second

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>running back overall. My man Corey Parson, the Fantasy Executive,

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 1>does not disagree, has him right on the fringe of

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>a low RB two or a high flex play as

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>his rated running back. I also listen if you're in

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>deep leagues, or in a dynasty league, or in a statue.

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I told you it's Darren Sprowls his last year. They

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>drafted his air apparent this year and it is Donnelle

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Pumphrey out of San Diego State. This is one of

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 1>those freakish pass patching backs. Okay. I love Dannelle Pumfrey

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>in PPR dynasty kind of leagues. He is going to

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>take the Darren Sprowls roll over. And I like Legarrett

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Blunt not only for what it does for the touchdown

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>ability of fantasy owners, but what it does for the

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia Eagles. The best help to a young rising quarterback

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>is not only their offensive line, but the ability to

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>turn around and hand the ball to a thud, you know,

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.640
<v Speaker 1>chain moving back like Legarrett Blunt. I think that's amazing.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.639
<v Speaker 1>But they weren't done. They went out and made a

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>splash at the wide receiver position as well. They signed

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Tory Smith and all Sean Jeffrey in the off season

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to pair with a guy like Jordan Matthews, who they

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>still see as a good slot wide receiver. Okay, I

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you the truth. Though I'm very very high

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>on the Eagles this year, but I have historically been

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>fading all Sean Jeffrey. All Sean Jeffrey is the kind

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>of injury prone that I do not like. It's always

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>these soft tissue injuries. Okay, ligaments, tendons. It's not like

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the freak accident of a broken you know, a broken

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>hand or a broken leg like we saw with some

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>other players. Okay, these soft tissue injuries are the ones

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>that are hard to come back from, the ones that linger.

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I think when he's out there, al Shan is very,

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 1>very impressive. The only problem is I don't want my

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>wide receive either one or even my wide receiver two

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>on my fantasy team to be frustrating week to week.

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>He played in only twelve games last year, still put

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>up eight hundred and twenty one yards. You past that out,

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you get an hundred yard receiver. Okay, I understand. Okay,

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a guy who has talent, but I drop

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>him down every year, because I do not believe in

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the injury and the health in the in that kind

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>of reliability with a guy like al Sean Jeffrey. I'm

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you also, if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>and you're trying to get into fantasy, if you're not

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>an expert, let me tell you about a guy Tory

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Smith on the Philadelphia Eagles and why he is a

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>decent guy in a format called best ball. He's the

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy the quote is like, the term is

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>that he takes the top off the defense. He's like

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>a deep threat. And if you're in a best ball format,

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>this is These are formats where you're not making moves

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>every week, you're not making trade. You just draft and

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>then they get your best players at each position. And

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Tori Smith is good for that because he's gonna have

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>one or two games where he pops off and gets

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, three catches, four hundred thirty yards and two touchdowns.

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna happen at some point. And he's good for

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the actual Philadelphia Eagles because he can stretch the defense

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 1>then have Al Shan underneath, guys like Darren Sprawls the

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>tight end who will get to in a second underneath. Okay,

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>but I think that he's gonna be good for this

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>actual team, not so much your fantasy team unless you're

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 1>playing in the best ball format. I also wonder could

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 1>this be Jordan Matthews here. Jordan Matthews was a highly

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>touted kind of rookie. But let me tell you something.

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Mike clay Well, I respect, has interesting projections for a

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>guy like Jordan Matthews. Thinks Jordan Matthews is possible to

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>get seventy five catches eight hundred fifty yards. I'm gonna

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>tell you something. I don't think he's gonna do that.

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 1>But like I said, Alshon, Jeffrey is injury prone, and

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 1>if al Shan misses any time, which he does usually,

0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.039
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Matthews will go right into that role. As you

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 1>can see. I like the fact that the offensive line

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>has been you know, maintained for Carson Wentz. I like

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the solid running back he can hand too. I like

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the wide receiver, the dynamic weapons that Carson Wentz now has.

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I also like, you know, the Philadelphia Eagles last year

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>were top five defense in d v O A. They

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>were a top five defense. They used their first round

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>pick on Barnett at A Tennessee to increase that their

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>pass rushing, Brandon Graham out there, Fletcher Cox on the

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>interior as well. This is a defense. This is a

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>defense that is one of the best in the league.

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>This is an offensive line that is one of the

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>best in the league. They have a bruising running back

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>combo with Legarrett Blunt, an incredible pass catcher, and Darren Sprawls.

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.280
<v Speaker 1>This is a team that signed al Sean Jeffrey and

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Tory Smith still has Matthews. It really all comes down

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 1>to Carson Wentz.
