00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: my man. I'm excited to be here. You know, I

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: don't know that I can replace Elliot Harrison. I just

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: want to be like him. When I grow up, you do. Yeah,

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: we all want to be like Elliot Harrison when we

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: grow up, and you know, date six ft women. If

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: you saw the last last week, I could. Last week

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: he had the question of whether or not you would

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: date someone who was significantly taller than than you were,

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: And um, my response is, if Brooklyn Decker wants to

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: date me and she's way taller than me, I have

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: no problem with that whatsoever. Well, I mean not to

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: rag on you, but you're not the tallest guy around. Listen,

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm all the Italian people are vertically challenged for the

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: most part, unless you're remember Dante Carolina. Uh, not a

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: lot of tall Italian people. I'm like trying to scour

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: my NBA rolodex for for Italian guys and it's uh,

33
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm Kevin so Muster another because i I've following

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: North Carolina basketball and he was another Italian guy who

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: was tall. But there's not a lot of us We've got.

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: You've got Nilo Gallinari and uh is another one. I'm

37
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: pretty much that Yeah. So anyways, listen, this is our

38
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: last show, uh for the foreseeable future. On on Sirius XM.

39
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: So we want to go out with a bang, you

40
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: can call us eight eight nine six three two six

41
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: eight two. Will be taking your fantasy questions throughout the day.

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna have our final Fantasy Cantina at least of

43
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: this NFL Fantasy season, and we'll also have our Fantasy

44
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Jeopardy segment again, which we had last week, which a

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: lot of people enjoyed, so we're gonna bring that back.

46
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: Marcus this week will play the role of Elliott Harrison

47
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: playing the role of Alex Trebek, So we'll have some

48
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: great topics there. And I think what we want to

49
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: start off with today, of course, is the big game

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, super Bowl forty six, the New York Giants

51
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: and the New England Patriots. And the big topic of versation,

52
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: and it definitely spins fantasy, is the subject of Rob

53
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: Gronkowski's health. Has that high ankle spraining. He came out

54
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: yesterday Media Day did not have a boot on that

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: on that ankle, And for all intends of purposes, I

56
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: think he's going to play. How effective he's going to

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: be is going to be the real key, and it

58
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: actually could, Marcus end up being the story of why

59
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: the Patriots couldn't beat the Giants in this game. If

60
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: that's the direction it goes, well, there's no doubt that

61
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: that Gronk is going to play. Short of him having

62
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: that foot amputation, He's going to be on the field

63
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and it is a question of what he

64
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: can bring to the table for that Patriots offense. Here's

65
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: the thing, he very well could end up as a decoy,

66
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: which we saw a couple of times later in the season,

67
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: and you know, Bill Belichick certainly loves to tinker with things.

68
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: For all the attention paid to Gronkowski, not only this

69
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: week but all season long, that leaves ample opportunity for

70
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Gronk to end up as a decoy and Aaron Hernandez

71
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: to somehow be the full the center of attention and

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: come Sunday afternoon. Yeah, and Gronkowski is listen, He's coming

73
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: off the best season ever for a tight end ever

74
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: and we actually had a lot of that where this

75
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: this league has just gone so far into the direction

76
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: of passing the football that you saw three guys go

77
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: over five thousand yards this year, and prior to that

78
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: it had only been to ever you saw Rob Gronkowski

79
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: score seventeen touchdowns eighteen If you count that rushing touchdown

80
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: he had well over yards. He actually outscored every single

81
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: wide receiver and fantasy points not named Calvin Johnson. So

82
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: if Gronkowski is out there as a decoy, listen, Aaron

83
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: Hernandez could actually end up being a better fantasy option

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: for the NFL Fantasy Playoff Challenge this week. I'm starting Gronkowski,

85
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: started him last week. And of course everybody knows my

86
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: team went the way of Alduran a few weeks back

87
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: when the Saints lost, because I had every Saint basically

88
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: in my roster. And I still argue and contend that

89
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 1: if the Saints didn't turn the ball over what five

90
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: times against the four tires, whatever it was. And I

91
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: know you're a forty Niners fan, so you're gonna say, tiss,

92
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: tiss this, But if they hadn't turned the ball over

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: that many times, they win that game. They host the

94
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: Giants in the NFC Championship and beat them handily. I

95
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: really think they beat that team handily. Giants would have

96
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: just match up issues all over the place against the Saints. Unfortunately,

97
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: it didn't happen that way, and the Patriots and the

98
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: g Men are are our super Bowl matchup? Yeah, I

99
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: can't argue with you if if the Saints don't give

100
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: the ball away so many times, there's no doubt that

101
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: they win that football game. They almost won as it

102
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: is with all those turnovers. I want to go back

103
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: to something you were talking about with Gronkowski though, and

104
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: the playoff challenge, because it brings up a little bit

105
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: of a quandary I think for a lot of players

106
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: this week because I'm one of those guys who jumped.

107
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: I jumped on the Jimmy Graham train, kind of like

108
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: you with the Saints. But after that, I've been all

109
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: about Gronkowski. So you look at this week and it's

110
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: hard to go away from him because you want those multipliers,

111
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: the double or trip or even quadruple point if you

112
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: started from the beginning. But there's also the issue of

113
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: how healthy will he be? Can he play? Is Aaron

114
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Hernandez or maybe even you know who knows, Jake Ballard

115
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: or Bear Pasco a better option? This is something to okay,

116
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: maybe not but Andree a little crazy, but it does

117
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: leave you something to think about this week with with

118
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Gronkowski's ankle, yeah, no doubt about that, and I think

119
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: for me, I've got him getting double points this week,

120
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: but I'm probably going down to game time. I want

121
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: to see what happens. Is he out there in pregame

122
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: warm up, so listen. I think he's gonna play, and

123
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: if he's active, I don't know how I don't play

124
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski based on the fact that I'll be getting

125
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: double points. I'm out of it. Anyways, once the Saints

126
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: got beat, that was the end of my run. I

127
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: was looking good. Uh when Graham scored that touchdown against

128
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: your Niners, only to have Alex Smith become reborn as

129
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: Joe Montana for that final series where he sling the

130
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: ball into Vernon Davison between about three defenders. I was

131
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: gonna give him Jeff Garcia at best. Now he that

132
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: that was an unbelievable, unbelievable drive by Alex Smith. So,

133
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: but let's keep the talk about Rob Gronkowski going and

134
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: even further than just this Sunday at the Super Bowl

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: and what his fantasy value is going to be for

136
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: I get a lot of people on Twitter asking me

137
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: if Gronkowski deserves to be the first tight end taken

138
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: in the first round. I think ever in a fantasy draft.

139
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I can't listen. I mean, and I've been doing this

140
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: for a long time. I can't remember a tight end

141
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: ever being considered for a first round selection, if not

142
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: a second round selection. Maybe Antonio Gates in his salad days,

143
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: people were talking about him maybe being worth a third

144
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: round pick, a fourth round pick, clearly, but a first

145
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: round pick for a tight end. Man, I'll tell you,

146
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: maybe it's just me be an old fashioned or maybe

147
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm from a fantasy perspective, a glass half empty guy

148
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to somebody who goes off and has

149
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: a gigantic season. But I can't take Gronkowski in the

150
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: first round. I can't take him in the first round.

151
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm more of a skeptic. I'm that I want

152
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: to see you do it again sort of guy. That's

153
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: how I am too. And what he did this year

154
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: was phenomenal, there's no arguing that. But one he plays

155
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: in a system with another very good, dynamic tight end.

156
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: He plays for a head coach that certainly doesn't believe

157
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: in keeping things status quo and likes to change things up.

158
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we've said before it's kind of a staple

159
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: of fantasy football. Now, Bill Belichick hates your fantasy TM,

160
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: So just when you think you know what he's going

161
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: to do, he's gonna do something different. Plus, now after

162
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: a full year of watching Gronk on tape, other defensive

163
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: coordinators have something to game plan for, have something to

164
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: scheme for, and you better believe the teams are gonna

165
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: try to take him out of the game plan next year.

166
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: So I can't see him as a first round pick.

167
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. I would almost advocate him being

168
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: the first tight end off the board. But I don't

169
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: know that he he duplicates what he did this year.

170
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: And people have to remember out there, we are in

171
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: a society that we we we have that sort of

172
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: instant gratification what have you done for me lately? Mentality,

173
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: And in fantasy football, you can't have that with every player. Okay,

174
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: you can have it with Aaron Rodgers. You can clearly

175
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: have it with Arian Foster and Calvin Johnson. Can you

176
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: have it with Michael Vick? Going into this season, I

177
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: argued no, because everyone was all over Michael Vicky had

178
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: this incredible, magical season. He had that gigantic game against

179
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins on Monday Night where he scored like

180
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: forty nine Fantasy points, and I saw him go off

181
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: the board in the top five in a lot of

182
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: twenty eleven drafts, and the people who did that were

183
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: shaking their head all year long. Yes he had some

184
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: good stat lines, and yes, his point per game average

185
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: and fantasy was terrible by any stretch of the imagination.

186
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: But Vick didn't live up to that. And the same

187
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: thing is going to happen. I think with Rob Gronkowski.

188
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: If Gronkowski comes out next season and has seventy eight

189
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: catches for a thousand yards and say nine or ten touchdowns,

190
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: that's a great season from a tight end. Was he

191
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: worth a first round pick? No, away, I just don't

192
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: see that. And I have been the running back guy

193
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,359
Speaker 1: for years and years, back to my days at CBS.

194
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Ever since I joined the NFL, which has been five

195
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: years ago now, I have always advocated go running backs early.

196
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: You can get a good quarterback in the middle rounds.

197
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: And you know what, Marcus, that is still the truth.

198
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is there's so many

199
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: question marks are running back right now. After Foster McCoy,

200
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: Rice and maybe Maurice Jones, Drew. Is there a running

201
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: back out there that you're willing to take a chance

202
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: on ahead of Aaron Rodgers, Drew Breezer, Tom Brady in

203
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: an NFL that is completely favoring success statistically at the

204
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: quarterback position. I say, I can't. I can't do It's

205
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: hard to and on the surface, it's a counterproductive argument.

206
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: You look and and everything points to quarterbacks, receivers, and

207
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: in some cases tight ends being those money guys in leagues.

208
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: And so it would seem that you rush and you

209
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: grab those and you wait on running backs. But you

210
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: have a great point and that because there are so

211
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: few uppers along guys, and they're becoming fewer and fewer

212
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: feature backs that it's hard to wait on them and

213
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: not know who's gonna be there later. And tight ends

214
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: kind of fall into that quarterback category in a lot

215
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: of ways. It used to be my draft strategy was

216
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: if you don't get Gates, then just wait. Now, you know,

217
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: if you don't get Gronkowski, if you don't get Graham, Okay, yeah,

218
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: that that hurts a little bit. But there's still guys

219
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: like Vernon Davis, Jason Witten, Aaron Hernandez Tony Gonzalez has

220
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: had a resurge into the last couple of years. So

221
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: even if you don't get one of those top two

222
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: tight ends, you can get a guy who's still very,

223
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: very productive. You can't say that about running backs. I mean,

224
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: once guys like Rice and McCoy and m j d

225
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: are off the board, it gets to be slim pickens

226
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: after that. You want to know, the guy that I

227
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: love in a tight end is Fred Davis. If the

228
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Redskins part ways with Chris Cooley, especially if they part

229
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: ways with Chris Cooley, I am going to have a

230
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: big fantasy man crush on Fred Davis next season. It does,

231
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: but I am listen as a fantasy analyst. I'm unbiased

232
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: as a football fan. I hate the Redskins and I

233
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: hate the Giants, and I'm rooting for the Patriots this weekend.

234
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: But that's a whole another story. But fred Davis, to

235
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: me is a guy who can put up not Gronk numbers,

236
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: not Graham numbers. But can he have seventy five catches,

237
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: a thousand yards and six to eight touchdowns? Absolutely absolutely

238
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: he can. Of Course, a lot of things have to

239
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: sort of even themselves out in Red in redskin Land.

240
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: Are they gonna get a quarterback in the draft? Are

241
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: they gonna go after Peyton Manning? Uh? And Manning is

242
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: another topic that we're gonna talk about today, Marcus. What

243
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: happens in in redskin Land with that quarterback position is

244
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: going to be part of Fred Davis's determining fantasy value.

245
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: But I love him. I love him next season. And

246
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: if I don't get Gronkowski or Graham in the second round,

247
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: which I'm probably not going to do because I'm gonna

248
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: go after that elite running back in round one, of

249
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: which there's three maybe four. And if I can't get

250
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: one of those guys that, I'm going after the quarterback

251
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: and for for uh in all likelihood, but at tight end,

252
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: if I get a Fred Davis in round boys, six, seven,

253
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: I'll take that all day long. People forget that he

254
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: was on pace to have over a thousand yards receiving

255
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: this year. He had seven nineties six and he played

256
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: in twelve games. Then he got suspended and didn't play

257
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: the final four. He is a name to watch out for,

258
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. But I don't take Gronkowski

259
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: in the first round. I think he's gonna be a

260
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: second round pick. The same with Jimmy Graham's second round

261
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: picks for both of those guys. But again, fantasy owners,

262
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: it's all about the future. It's not about what happened

263
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: in the previous year. And that's why I don't love

264
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch next season. You've been all about this Marshawn

265
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: Lynch because he sucked for how many years between Buffalo Seattle?

266
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: Warning people about Marshawn Lynch. But this is what I

267
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: did last year with Michael Vick. Marshawn Lynch is my

268
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. Let's put it that way. I told people

269
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, Vick was fantastic. Is he the first

270
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: round pick? I thought Aaron Rodgers was the only quarterback

271
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: with the first round pick, which I was wrong because

272
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Drew Brees was clearly too. But I just didn't like

273
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: Michael Vick's prospects of duplicating what he had done in

274
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and ten. It's the same thing with Marshawn Lynch.

275
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: What did he do eleven touchdowns in twelve games or

276
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: eleven games in a row, whatever the case was. The

277
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: guy was an end zone machine. That's not happening again

278
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: in look at Dwayne Bow last year. He had a

279
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: stretch of games where he was scoring touchdowns like they

280
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: were going out of style, and Bow ended up the

281
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: second highest scoring fantasy receiver on NFL dot Com, behind

282
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Lloyd, who was another guy that I was warning

283
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: people about. You don't get that happening two years in

284
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: a row. You don't get that happening maybe more than

285
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: once in your career. Marshawn Lynch is coming off the

286
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: season of all seasons. He will never duplicate that touchdown

287
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: total again. And I'm telling you if you take him

288
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: in the first round, you're going to regret it. I

289
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: feel a column coming on. You can have a year

290
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: there will be more than I have always warned people

291
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: about the magical season always and it doesn't always come

292
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: to fruition. God knows, I'm not always right, but that

293
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: trend is interesting to me. It's just very interesting to me.

294
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: And and Vic comes up, and Brandon Lloyd comes up,

295
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: and Dwayne Bow comes up. Um, I mean, honestly, Marcus,

296
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson comes up. Chris Johnson, after he rushed for

297
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: two thousand yards and had that monstrosity of his season,

298
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: he was fantastic the next year, he rushed for yards,

299
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: had double dugit touchdowns. I think he had ten or

300
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: eleven good year, but people were disappointed in it because

301
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: they were so used to him putting up gigantic numbers

302
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: weekend and week out. The same thing is going to

303
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: happen with Lynch. The same thing is gonna happen with Gronkowski.

304
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: I like Gronkowski hell of more than I like Marshawn Lynch,

305
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: but Lynch scares me well. The difference between say Lynch

306
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: and a guy like Chris Johnson. Johnson is a guy

307
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: whose game is predicated mostly on speed. He's a guy

308
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: who can get to the edges, who can beat you

309
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: down the field, who can rip off long runs at

310
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: a time. Didn't do a lot of that this year,

311
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: but he's that guy who can do that. Marshawn Lynch

312
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: isn't that guy. And I think Marshawn Lynch made a

313
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: lot of hey, certainly fantasy wise, thanks to that run

314
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: against the Saints in the playoffs a couple of years ago.

315
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it got a lot of attention, so much

316
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: was written about how it caused an earthquake in the

317
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Seattle area. From Kant's cheering I mean, hey, he even

318
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: got a special tech Mobowl YouTube video based on it.

319
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: But I think people kind of look that and overrated

320
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: what that meant for Marshawn Lynch. Heck, it worked out

321
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: for folks because he had a very good year. You

322
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: mentioned the eleven games in a row, he scored a touchdown.

323
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I was skeptical of Marshawn Lynch

324
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: last year. I'm skeptical of Marshawn Lynch coming up this year.

325
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: And you know, he's another guy who you look at

326
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: that Seattle offense and you just don't re the You're

327
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: not overwhelmed by anything there. And they weren't particularly great

328
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: this past year, and so far, they've done nothing that

329
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: leads you to believe they're gonna significantly upgrade what they have.

330
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: And if Marshawn Lynch is the only real weapon, there's

331
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: no way he comes close to duplicating what he did

332
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: this year. We're gonna talk about Marshawn Lynch, Peyton Manning,

333
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: the whole heck of a lot more. We're gonna have

334
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: Matt money Smith on us with us in the next hour.

335
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get Elliot Harrison to call in too,

336
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: but he is probably chasing around supermodels in Indianapolis. Call

337
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: him and and and bust up whatever he's doing. I

338
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: could potentially do that, but hey, guys eight nine six

339
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: three two six eight too. We'll be taking your calls

340
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: and more after this breakne Lo Boak school that fire

367
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: today's birthday. It's Jennie Lane's birthday. Unfortunately, he passed away

368
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: last year from some sort of alcohol issues. Actually passed

369
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: away and I think it was Woodland Hills, I know somewhere,

370
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: or Sherman Oaks or somewhere like that. Yeah, so, uh,

371
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: happy birthday to Jennie Lane, who is now ironically in heaven.

372
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's a warrant reference. You're talking to the

373
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: wrong guy, Marcus. That was their hit, Okay, that was

374
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: their hit. You guys got to find that. You gotta

375
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: find that for Marcus, because you're gonna know what the

376
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: song is when you hear it. Probably I know I'm

377
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: going to get an education in eighties hair metal or

378
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: hair rock. Let me ruin myself from my disappointment from

379
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Gus hair bands and go to Nori in New York,

380
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: who has a question about Rob Gronkowski. Nori, Welcome to

381
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. They're doing get a big fan. What's

382
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: up Pal? Not much? Uh? Talking about Rob Gronkowski next

383
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: year and the uh drafted him? Uh? I drafted him

384
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: last year in the fifth round and end up winning

385
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: my league. And the guy who I went went against

386
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: in the in the finals had a Drew brees In

387
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: Jeremy Graham. I end up beating them. But next year,

388
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: you really think they're gonna go up that early as

389
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: opposed to, like I mean, Lasho McCoy and guys, a

390
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: great race obvious first round there's and some guys are

391
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: falling off, but these young tight ends are now gonna

392
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: be moving up. You really think they're worth the second

393
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: round pick, early second round, uh, early third round pick.

394
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: I think Gronkowski and Grammar both coming off the board

395
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: in the second or third round. I think the reason

396
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: is Number one. We've talked about it so much all

397
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: the year. The NFL has become a passing league, and

398
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: passing records are being broken left and right, and receiving

399
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: records are going to start getting broken left and right.

400
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: And you're seeing huge wide receiver type production from a

401
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: couple of tight ends, at least Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham.

402
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean after that there's a huge fall in terms

403
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: of fantasy value. But we mentioned that Gronkowski actually outscored

404
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: every wide receiver in fantasy this year outside of Calvin

405
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: Johnson and Jimmy Graham would have been in the top

406
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: five among wide receivers and fantasy points had he been

407
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: ranked among that position. Now, if I'm in a ten

408
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: team league, there's no way a tight ends coming off

409
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: the board in the first round. I say, late second round,

410
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: it'll be Gronkowski, middle, late third round. Uh, we're talking

411
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: about Graham somewhere in that area. But you always have

412
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: to remember there's always gonna be somebody in your draft

413
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: who is going to buy into the Gronkowski effect and

414
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: that he scored eighteen touchdowns, He had overassing receiving yards.

415
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: He was a monster, and the running back position is

416
00:21:54,520 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: so questionable for that. And I'll ask you this question

417
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: right now, Nora, is if you're in the second round

418
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: and you've got one of the first four or five

419
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: picks in the second round, you've taken a quarterback in

420
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: the first round, and you're running back options are let's say,

421
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch and Frank Gore and Steven Jackson and Ryan Matthews,

422
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: guys with question marks? Are you gonna take one of

423
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: those running backs instead of going after what a lot

424
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: of people consider a sure thing in Gronkowski. And I'm

425
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: guessing Nori is no longer on the line with us.

426
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: I will say that when when it comes to tight

427
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: ends for next year, oh there he is, I would

428
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: just say, cheap their emotions in check, because this seems

429
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: like prime real estate for a very early tight end

430
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: run in in next year's drafts, that Gronkowski comes off

431
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: the board, followed closely by Jimmy Graham. And that's when

432
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: you get owners who who tend to start panicking. And

433
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: then you know, you go from Gronkowski to Graham and

434
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: suddenly you've got her Nandez as an early third round guy,

435
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: followed by Gonzalez or Witton or Vernon Davis. When Gronk

436
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: comes off the board, and he will come off the

437
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: board early in some drafts, this is when you kind

438
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: of take a deep breath and you hold on and

439
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: you realize, don't start over reaching for something that may

440
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: not be there. So, Nori, you're are you still with

441
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: us there? What round will you take Gronkowski next season

442
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: if he's available? Hey, next year if I have a

443
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: tenth round taking a snake draft, my first two picks

444
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: if I can get and would be Brady Gronkowski. So first.

445
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: So you're saying second round Gronkowski? Yeah, definitely. I mean,

446
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: the guy's numbers are out there. And I just had

447
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: a question for you guys. Do you think Calvin Johnson

448
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: puts up his numbers again that he did this year? Again?

449
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: I always temper my expectations, even with the elite superstars,

450
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: he can't do that. Everything went right for that team.

451
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: Stafford stayed healthy, and there was what correct me if

452
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but there was about a four or five

453
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: week week stretch We're Omega trying was struggling. Teams were

454
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: double and triple teaming him, and I was getting people

455
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: asking me whether or not they should bench Megatron. I

456
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: remember that distinctly, and I have to go back and

457
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: look at the numbers. But there was a four or

458
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: five weeks stretch where he struggled, but then he came

459
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: out gangbusters. At the end of the year. He was

460
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: actually the most owned fantasy player on championship teams on

461
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, which is not a shock because the

462
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks of the year he was an

463
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: absolute beast. Can Calvin Johnson go for well over yards

464
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: again and double digit touchdowns? I think he can. I

465
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: think Calvin is the only wide receiver that's worth a

466
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 1: first round pick and fantasy drafts. Nori, thanks for the call.

467
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna go to Corey in Toronto. Corey, you're

468
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Lab. What's going on? Man? I wrote

469
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: a quick question today about on the topic your tweet,

470
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: and I was looking at it, and I do think

471
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: he is a first round pick for many reasons, and

472
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: we're looking at statistics touched I was in Receiving yards

473
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: are two major contributors to a fantasy point. So that's

474
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: one thing I do definitely agree with you one. And

475
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: the second question I have today is what do you

476
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: think Chris Johnson's biggest issue was this year? I picked

477
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: them second overall and it was just a complete buzz

478
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, listen, I think I think it was

479
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: sort of the domino effect. You had the lockout, you

480
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: had a holdout. On top of the lockout, he comes

481
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: in and again you've got You've got Mike Munchak in there. Uh.

482
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: And there was there was some issues I think with

483
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: the offensive line. They need to improve, upgrade. They got

484
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more cohesive as the season went on,

485
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: and we saw that with CJ's numbers. But his numbers

486
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: when they were good, were almost always against bad teams.

487
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is Chris Johnson is

488
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: what twenty six, He's a young running back. This is

489
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: a guy who's had one bad year in his career

490
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Is there a chance that he's one

491
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: of these guys who got paid and got lazy? Potentially,

492
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: But I can't see Chris Johnson being this bad again.

493
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: And when you see the question marks at the running

494
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: back position, and there are a line of them, I

495
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: think Chris Johnson is gonna be worth of the second

496
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: round pick in twelve. I don't think he's worth the

497
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: first round pick. But I think you're going to see

498
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: him at ot as. He's going to have a full

499
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: training camp, he's going to have preseason, although he probably

500
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: won't play a much in preseason. It's going to be

501
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: back to normal football players are creatures of habit and

502
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: back to the norm. For c J two K in

503
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: terms of his preparation, I think that's not gonna do

504
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: anything but help him. He has a really tough schedule.

505
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: I've been breaking down the fantasy points a lot of

506
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: ratings on NFL dot com h and those will be

507
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: posted over the next couple of weeks. And he's got

508
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: the worst schedule among running backs. He's got a real

509
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: brutal schedule. But I still think because he's a featured back,

510
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: because he's done it before are and because of all

511
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: of those exterior sort of intangibles with the hold out,

512
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: with the lockout, with everything else, that it was kind

513
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: of the domino effect. I think he improves in twelve Marcus,

514
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: and I do think he's gonna be worth a second

515
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: round pick. I think he is too I think. I

516
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: think the first thing to remember is that that two

517
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: thousand yards season, when his career is said and done,

518
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: that may be the outlier in all of of his

519
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: career numbers. But he's a guy who I think is

520
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: still at his core, still good for you know, somewhere

521
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: around twelve to thirteen hundred yards of season. Can somehow

522
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: can they can still put up you know, eight to

523
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns a season. I mean, he is that kind

524
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: of guy. He has that kind of ability, and I

525
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: do think having a full off season's worth of workouts

526
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: there is going to do him some good. It would

527
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: also help having Kenny Britt back next year when the

528
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: Titans figure out what their quarterback situation is going to be,

529
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: whether it's it's going to be hassleback for another year

530
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: or if they're gonna hand the reins to Jake Locker.

531
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: That settles some things down in that offense. But for

532
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: every body who was disappointed by Chris Johnson this past year,

533
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: I would just say to take a deep breath and

534
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: give him another shot next year, because I don't know

535
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: that it's going to be as frustrating as it was

536
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: this past season. Corey, where are you taking Chris Johnson

537
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: next season were I would honestly still pick him in

538
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: the first round. No other running back has the velocity

539
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: of Chris Johnson, the quickness of Chris Johnson story. So honestly,

540
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: I believe he is a first round pick to date,

541
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: and uh, a lot of running backs bat years, but

542
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, Chris Johnson is a great enthusiastic nature about

543
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: himself and I do think he did come back stronger

544
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: than ever this year. All right, my man, thanks for

545
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: the call. And another stat that you want to look

546
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: at with Chris Johnson, the four touchdowns is what killed you.

547
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: He had over a thousand rushing yards, but he also

548
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: had only two sixty two rushing attempts. That is the

549
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: lowest number of rushing attempts that he's had since his

550
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: rookie season. And something that might surprise people out there,

551
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: he actually had a career high in both were set

552
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: options and receiving yards last season, so he was more

553
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game than ever. Uh. He only

554
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: averaged seven point three yards per catch and his yards

555
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: per carry was down to four point zero, which was

556
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: a career low. But again at twenty six and with

557
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: so many and he is going to be part of

558
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: the question mark at the running back position. He is

559
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: going to be part of it. And again, guys outside

560
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: of the top four and can Marie Jones Drew rush

561
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: for another six yards with Blaine Gabbert slinging the ball,

562
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean we have to see about that too. He

563
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: is I think Chris Johnson, uh and Jamal Charles and

564
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: Matt Forte and Ryan Matthews and those kind of guys

565
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: are gonna be the ones that will be the most

566
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,719
Speaker 1: worth the risk when it comes to the running back position.

567
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: I think one of the key numbers you've talked about

568
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: in there with Chris Johnson is that receiving number, the

569
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: fifty seven receptions he had this past year. And when

570
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: you look next year at the running back position, I mean,

571
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: look at the guys you mentioned in the top handful

572
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: of the top tier of running backs, Guys like like

573
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones Drew, guys like Ray Rice especially in Arian Foster.

574
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: Not only is their value great because they run the

575
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: ball so effectively, but because they catch the ball out

576
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: of the backfield. I mean, Lashawn McCoy is a PPR guy,

577
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: was a monster this past year. And so when you

578
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: have a guy like Chris Johnson, who may leave you

579
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: scratching your head a little bit. Take a look at

580
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: those receiving numbers, take a look at how that guy

581
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: is used in the passing game, because those guys who

582
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: can catch the ball become a lot more valuable. Whereas

583
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: a guy, say like Michael Turner, who is not known

584
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: as a receiving type running back, maybe you drop him

585
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: down your draft board a little bit because one he

586
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: may lose some of those catches to a guy like

587
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: Jack was Rogers next year. And then on top of it,

588
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean Turner certainly getting older three as a fact

589
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: that he's hitting that that man, it's it's a different

590
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: world when you hit thirty. Yeah, well I'm gonna be

591
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: forty in a couple of years. Man. So but I'm

592
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: not a running back. But here's here right now at

593
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: running back is my top ten. I'm leading off with

594
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, and unfortunately Ari and I are friend. We

595
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: we we chatted, Uh we chatted last year and uh

596
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: also we talk on Twitter back and forth a little bit.

597
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: When he's when he's around, he is the number one guy.

598
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: I've got McCoy to Rice three, Jones, Drew four, and

599
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: the question marks start after four Ryan Matthews, great upside,

600
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: Canny stay healthy Matt fourte Mike Marx is no longer

601
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: in the mix. Is he gonna hold out over the contract?

602
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, great talent, had a bad year. Marshawn Lynch,

603
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: can you do it again? Nine? Jamal Charles coming off

604
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: in a c L and number ten to Marco Murray,

605
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: who I think could have a breakout season. But again,

606
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: this is a guy collegiately who had injury problems in

607
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: last year. What happened to him? He ended up on

608
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: injured reserve because of an injured ankle. And guys, we're

609
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna pick up the running back talk after this break again.

610
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,640

00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: to NFL Fantasy Live. I'm here with Marcus Grant. I'm

615
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano, NFL dot Com Fantasy Editor, and we are

616
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: in the middle of our first hour of the last

617
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: show of for NFL Fantasy Live, and we were talking

618
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: about running backs before the break, and I had just

619
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: given you guys my top ten running backs. I'll go

620
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: through it again. Arian Foster one, Lashawn McCoy to Ray

621
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: Rice three, Maurice Jones Drew four, Matt Ryan Matthews five,

622
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: and this is where you get into question marks. Matt

623
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: Fote six, Chris Johnson seven, Marshawn Lynch eight, Jamal Charles nine,

624
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: and to Marco Murray ten. Now, a guy that I

625
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: want to talk about off that list is Jamal Charles.

626
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: And Jamal sent me a tweet a couple of weeks

627
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: ago when I asked him if his recovery is going well,

628
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: and he said he thinks he's gonna be stronger and

629
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: faster than ever before war. And the good thing with

630
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: Jamal is and there's a couple of good things to like. Yes,

631
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: coming off of an a c L injury is typically

632
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: a statistical death sentence for running backs. Typically it is uh,

633
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: for the most part, you have some trouble there. But

634
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: Jamal hurt himself in the second week of the year.

635
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: He's had the entire season to start that rehab. He'll

636
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: have the entire off season to strengthen both mentally and physically, Uh,

637
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: to get back onto the playing field. He's got a

638
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: great schedule if you look at the f p A

639
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: rating where he is facing not only the A f

640
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: C West, but he he has got some real, real

641
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: good matchups in and I think, yes, there is that

642
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: looming a c L injury and the surgery hanging over

643
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: his head. But I think Jamal Jamala is after everything

644
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: is said and done. If we're talking about Richard men

645
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: in Hall, we're talking about Adrian Peterson also guys who

646
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: are coming off a c L s, I think he

647
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: has the best chance to actually be somewhere close to

648
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: what he was before the injury. Now, Phil, we're gonna

649
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: go to the phones and take a call, Phil from Michigan.

650
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: You're in NFL Fantasy Live. Are you doing Phil? What's up? Man?

651
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: How I'm doing well? My friend? What's up? Uh? One

652
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: of the running band, like the most going into two

653
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve I have to say, is Ryan Matthews.

654
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: I feel like if you're in the mid mid to

655
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: late you get a first round pick, he a lot

656
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: of people might be down on him because you know

657
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 1: the guys he has a tag for be an injury

658
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: prone and I know he's missed, yeah, six games and

659
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: two years and everything like that. But with the strength

660
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: of schedule and and nor of returning. That was a

661
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: big thing with him for me is if if norv

662
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: is going to be back and him in the third

663
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: year playing and everything, I feel like he would really

664
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: be able to thrive. Now, listen, I am right there

665
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: with your phil And if you remember, and I was

666
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: completely wrong last season, I loved Ryan Matthews. I was saying,

667
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: this guy is worth the first or second round pick

668
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: North turn. Yeah, and you probably so. If I burned you,

669
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: I apologize. But see, I phel I was one year.

670
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: I was one year off. I was too optimistic and

671
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: list past year and I wouldn't call it a breakout year,

672
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: but he certainly had a very good year. But I

673
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: think a breakout year could be in Ryan matthews future. Again.

674
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: The one the one issue with him is the injuries.

675
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: He's always nicked up. You know, Mike Tilbert is also

676
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: in the mix. But let's take a look at the opponents, uh,

677
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers. Right First of all, of course,

678
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: you've got the Raiders, they couldn't stop the run. You

679
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: got the Chiefs, they couldn't stop the run. Uh, You've

680
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: got the Broncos, who improved, not terrible against the run,

681
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: but certainly not elite. Now they do have to face

682
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Bengals and the Steelers tough matchups.

683
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: But you've also got to play the Cleveland Browns out

684
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: of the a f C North. You also get to

685
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: play the Buccaneers, who were just awful. They gave up

686
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: more fantasy points to running backs than anybody. They play

687
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: the Titans, which is another defense that really struggled. They

688
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: gave up a lot of fantasy points to running backs

689
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: as well. The Saints were not good against the run

690
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective either. So I think Matthews while

691
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: I'm not taking him ahead of Rogers, Brees Brady, Uh,

692
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, I'm right there with you, man, if you're

693
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: in a ten or twelve team league, I think he's

694
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: worth a late first round pick in a twelve team

695
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: league and an early second run pick in a ten

696
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: team league. Um, what's running? What would you take over Matthews?

697
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: You know you've got the big four and it's Foster, McCoy,

698
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: Rice and Jones, Drew and right now, my friend that's it.

699
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: I listen, Matt. I want to see what happens with

700
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: the situation in Chicago with Matt Forte. Mike Tyson is

701
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator and he loves to run the football.

702
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: This is not going to be Mike Marx's offense where

703
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be thrown passes out to Forte constantly, because

704
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: if you remember last season, a lot of Fote's value

705
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: was yarded. She didn't score a lot of touchdowns before

706
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: he injured that knee. Tyson is gonna run the ball,

707
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But if the Bears franchise

708
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: Forte or they don't come to some sort of contractual agreement,

709
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: there's a holdout. Well, I'm scared to heck that it's

710
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: gonna end up being Chris Johnson all over again, or

711
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson all over again, or Larry Johnson all over again.

712
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: But right now, Ryan Matthews is my guy at number

713
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: five at running back and him not swinging onto the

714
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: flat catching all he's catching all these passes. That wears

715
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: him down too, and not having a verse tile back

716
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: is obviously obviously a great thing, especially with Foxing McCoy

717
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: those guys, but wearing the wear and tear. That's something. Uh,

718
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: that's something that's appealable to if he's just running the

719
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: running the ball out more And listen, Matthews, he had

720
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: fifty catches last year, he had four yards receiving, he

721
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 1: had over scramming yards. His touchdowns were mediocre with six.

722
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: But and you bring up another good point filled with

723
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: the with the north Turner aspect of it. Now, Listen,

724
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: if you talk to Adam Rank around here in my

725
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: pal from NFL Fantasy Live, he'll rip north Turner all

726
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: the way home. But north Turner has had a lot

727
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: of success with running backs in his career. Okay, let's

728
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: go back to EMT. Smith. Okay, but yeah, I had

729
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: to mention that because I need something to smile about

730
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 1: as a Cowboys fan at this at this point in

731
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: the season, because they are out of it. Lamont Jordan

732
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: had his best fantasy season under north Turner, Frank Gore

733
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: had his best fantasy season under north Turner, Ricky Williams

734
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: had his best fantasy season under north Turner. And Ryan

735
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: Matthews is a guy again if he can stay healthy,

736
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: I think he could have a breakout year. So uh,

737
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: I am right there. With you, Phil, With Ryan Matthews,

738
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: I think this is a guy who's gonna be a

739
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: late first round or early second run pick and a

740
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 1: guy who has a lot of breakout potential. Phil, thanks

741
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: for the call. I would say a lot of of

742
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: what Matthew's value is next year also is tied to

743
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: what happens with Mike Tilbert and whether or not he

744
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: sticks around San Diego a long term, because that was

745
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: the guy that made a lot of people nervous about

746
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews that you know, you didn't know if Tilbert

747
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: was gonna get those goal line carries, if he was

748
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: going to be the short yardage back, that sort of thing.

749
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: If the Chargers believe that Ryan Matthews can withstand the

750
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: riggers of a sixteen game schedule and decide the part

751
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,959
Speaker 1: company with Mike Tilbert, then that value does go up, because,

752
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, he can catch passes. He is a

753
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: good quality running back. If he's on the field, you

754
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: like him. Maybe to get that fumble number down a

755
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: little bit. He's he's lost five fumbles each of the

756
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: past couple of seasons. But if he can get that

757
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: down and he can stay healthy for for sixteen games,

758
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: then I think he becomes a solid number five behind

759
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: the rest of those guys. All right, guy, so we're

760
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: gonna take a break here, but again the number is

761
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: six eight two. Will continue to talk running backs. At

762
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, we have the Fantasy Cantina.

763
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: Will have Matt Money Smith from NFL Fantasy Live and

764
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: Petro send Money on. Later on in the show stick around,

765
00:39:44,920 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 1: This is NFL Fantasy Live. Play this is NFL Fantasy

766
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: Live on Serial Sex Album Fantasy Sports Radio. We're back

767
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Live Serious two ten XM eight seven markets.

768
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: I do recognize this tune. Yes, listen now, how you're

769
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: what thirty two? So you're not that much younger than me?

770
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm not, okay, So you know I can see you know,

771
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: maybe back in the day you were rocking out to

772
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of Heaven you you know, maybe you

773
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: got an old girlfriend that you played the song to.

774
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: Remember when we were younger and we would make mix tapes, yes,

775
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: of course, for girls, and we thought that was the

776
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: most romantic thing in the world. Hendel, you probably still

777
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: do this right with the mixed tapes, but now they're

778
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: mixed c d s. Is that how you pick up women?

779
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: Is that what you do? Card right? So I listen,

780
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm made mix tape. I made mixed tapes and I

781
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: guarantee heaven and I remember you, and did you tape

782
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: the songs off the radio and have to like stop

783
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: it before the DJ came on about it? You know,

784
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: it's funny. I used to have all the cassette tapes. Okay,

785
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't know where the heck they are now. My

786
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: mother probably hasn't an attic or they've thrown away. But

787
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: I had the cassette tapes. And I'm just such a

788
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: perfectionist when it comes to just everything that I do,

789
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: and it drives me nuts. When I messed things up,

790
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: I would have to like have one finger on the

791
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: play button, one on the record button on the blank tape,

792
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: and it would have to be the exactly the right time,

793
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: so there was no click or no sound in between

794
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: the songs. And I I went to I own a college,

795
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: a newer show in New York for a couple of years,

796
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: and I was I had a radio show. It was

797
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: called the Symphony of Destruction with Michael Fabriano. After the

798
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: Megadeth song I had the I had the long hair

799
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: like like bon Jovi and to keep the faith thing.

800
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: I had the whole Joey Lawrence think from Blossom going on. Okay,

801
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: that's what my friends would not say, Hey Mike, what's up?

802
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: They would go, whoa, because I had I had the

803
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: flannel wrapped around my jeans with all the holes in them,

804
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: and I had the the you know, the flannel on

805
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: top and the hair going. I had ears in both ears.

806
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: I mean I listen, I was. I was a sight

807
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: to be behold. I'll tell you right now. And I

808
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: almost guarantee that you made a mixtape for some little

809
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: ladies someplace in northern California didn't have any While you

810
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: were listening to Warrant, I was probably more listening to

811
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: like Joe to see your boys two men, six degrees

812
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: of Joey Lawrence, by the way, as you were dressing

813
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: like him and looking like him. Actually had a class

814
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: with him my freshman year of college where at USC

815
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: we It was a a cinema class, and it was

816
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: just kind of a blow off cinema class, and you

817
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: know that's why he took it. So he took it.

818
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: And funny story, he was on Jay Leno one night

819
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: and talking about how he's a freshman in college and

820
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: he's taking this really hard cinema class and it's so difficult.

821
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 1: And so the next week the teacher comes into class

822
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: and he he starts the class by saying, and I quote,

823
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: during your career here at USC you will take a

824
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: lot of difficult classes. I never again want to see

825
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: one of my students go on national television and say

826
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: that this is the most difficult class. So that's my

827
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: Joey Lawn, Right, I have a Joey Lawrence story to actually,

828
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: how the hell did we get to Joey Lawrence. You

829
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: guys can blame me, but we're gonna talk about it,

830
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: all right. I was at a Mercedes dealership in Van Eys, California,

831
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: which is where I bought my car, and I was

832
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: just going for a routine oil change and I'm waiting

833
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: in the in the in the waiting room, and I

834
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: see this guy walk in. Who the heck is that?

835
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: You know? I couldn't I couldn't put my put my

836
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: finger on who it was because he was completely bald,

837
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: like Jason Smith Balls, like Sebastian Janikowski Ball, she was bald.

838
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: He was bald. Okay, as this as the day is long,

839
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: and I kept looking at his face. I'm like, that's

840
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: Joey freaking Lawrence. I don't I think he may be

841
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: shaved his head. I I think he was losing it,

842
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: and so he just you know, he prevented and I God,

843
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,479
Speaker 1: I wanted to go up to women be like whoa,

844
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: I wanted to do it when I just couldn't do it.

845
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the fantasy world and stop talking

846
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: about Joey Lawrence. This is what happens when Harrison is

847
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: not here. Okay, this is what happens we actually get

848
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: into Joey Lawrence conversations instead of talking about his girl problems. Okay,

849
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: and Harrison shouldn't have a lot of girl problems, being

850
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: as being as pretty enhancement as something zachy he is.

851
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, him and Pat McAfee, there

852
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: was something going on there that maybe it was just

853
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: because they both have good hair, but that listen, that's

854
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: that's either here nor there. Let's get back to the

855
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: running back position here and talk more about guys that.

856
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: Do we want to take our chance on him in

857
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: the first round or in the second round? Do we

858
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: want to pass on them all together in twelve, and

859
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: again the number to call in is eight eight nine

860
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: six three two six eight to Marcus Grant and I

861
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: are here to talk running backs. Take your fantasy calls.

862
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: If you've seen Joey Lawrence someplace in southern California, calling

863
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: and let us know about it. After the top ten guys.

864
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: And I think DeMarco Murray is a breakout candidate and

865
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,280
Speaker 1: Dallas and I'm not saying that because I'm a Cowboys omer.

866
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: He just showed me something. He really showed me something.

867
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: It's the injuries that I worry about. He hurt the ankle.

868
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: He was injury prone in college. I did meet De

869
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: Marco here at NFL Network and he's got that Adrian

870
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: Peterson handshake. He will break the heck out of your

871
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: hand when he shakes your hand. And I'm not worried

872
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: about Felix Jones being being in the mix there, But um,

873
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: De Marco to me is somebody who has the upside

874
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: to be a top ten or a top five fantasy

875
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: back in twelve. I think he absolutely does. I worry

876
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: more about Jerry Jones than I do about anybody else

877
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: because he seems to have so much influence over the

878
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: rotation that he could decide that somehow he doesn't like

879
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: the Marco Murray anymore and it becomes about Felix Jones again.

880
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: But if he gets the opportunity that Marco Murray showed

881
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, he has the ability

882
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: to be a consistent fantasy back. I mean, he was

883
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: putting up major, major numbers. Uh. And we've got to

884
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: take another break. On the other side of the break,

885
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: it's time for the Fantasy Cantina. Marcus Grant, you never

886
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: find a more rich and hive of scumming villainy. It

887
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: is your first time in the Cantina. Call us eight

888
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: at eight nine two six eight two. We'll be right

889
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: back
