20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what claims it was box boxing. I

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: look a little ridiculous. I'm not gonna lie James has

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: his wrist wrapped and it's all wrapped up. It's no,

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: it's it's so. It's actually my boxing hand wraps because

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: I have an actual wrist like NBA James Harden shooting

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: gloves because he actually yeah, no, no, that's the hand

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: wraps that go on the on the hand and inside

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: the glove. But it's the only thing I have. My

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: wrist is killing me. Man. I just I hit the

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: heavy bag wrong and I was like, okay, well this

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: is why I'm old. Um. Yeah, So anyways, uh yeah,

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: so I look a little ridiculous right now. But that's okay.

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: We got a great show in front of here today.

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: Oh we got producer Christina in the building. What's up?

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: How you doing? What is what? Hat? Is that a

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Penguins Penguin's hat. She's got all sorts of sports gear

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: on today, all of it Kentucky, Kentucky shirt, Penguins hat,

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Penguin's hat, a Kentucky Wildcat. That's shirt one. Okay, all right,

38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: you didn't get the memo the not crossing the sports

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: as Like you know, I tho, the good news is

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: Kentucky and the Penguins will never run into eachime to play.

41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: That is true. I feel if this was the Dave

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: Damask podcast, he would do a what if what if

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: they played each other? And who would win in a

44
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: fight between the Penguin and a while I'm gonna go

45
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: all the way, who would ever pick Penguin? Hey, maybe

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: it's in Maybe it's in the Arctic. That's true home

47
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: field advantage, you know what I'm saying. Okay, I don't know.

48
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: All right, I got a great show after that start.

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Uh we're gonna do uh introduce this roster reset series

50
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: that they got going on in NFL DOT. I love

51
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: it because it's great. I mean, the thing is, so

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: many things have happened in the NFL um and we

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: and of course we we hit on it when it

54
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: does happen. But I I even catch myself now thinking,

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, when I run across it, it's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

56
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: that guy's on that team. Now, I'm doing that a

57
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: lot of time. I'm in the process, how it all

58
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: the time? I know, you know. Adam Rank put out

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: his top two hundred Michael Fabiano has his. I know

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: Alex is putting his together. As I'm looking going through mine,

61
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: I am, I'm like, yeah, what's the where's this guy again?

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Like having the Google and look at rosters, like, oh yeah,

63
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: this guy's here now on the roster recess. Just a

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: good thing too, because like coaching hires were so long

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: ago to now changed staff and there's new players, So

66
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: it's a great thing. Are talented around the NFL staff

67
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: puts together and we're gonna take a little fantasy spin

68
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, so I figured it's timely. It's definitely

69
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: good time to do that. There's a little bit of

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: a lull now, uh in the NFL. MG was talking

71
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: about some interesting tweets that we It's like, wow, there's

72
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: really no news. There's were just doing the NFC East today.

73
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: Are we gonna hit more of them? I thought we

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: just do the NFC East and all fifth. Today's a

75
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: short a little bit of a shorter podcast. Yeah, you

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: never know, So I shouldn't mention that Michael Campanaro just

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: signed a deal with the Titans. That's not the NFC East.

78
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: We'll put it in breaking news. You can put it in.

79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: I guess Michael Campanero. Sure, why the hell you want

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: different divisions. I think actually they have one left. I

84
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: think they have one left. A FC South may might

85
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: be the last one coming up. All right, so there

86
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,040

87

89
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: We've got some wildcat v. Penguin fights. We've got a

90
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: little canyon row. Wow. Got some great risk talk, great,

91
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: great risk talk. Yes, it's perfect. Uh speaking of the

92
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: a f C South Andrew Lock officially throwing again. Don't

93
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: we have we have drops to use? Oh yes, stops

94
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: a man. Wow, Okay, let's get to oh my god,

95
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: we really do have breaking news. Hey, did you guys

96
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: though the diegos like bad ships playing the Nipper balls

97
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: breaking news? I'm still getting used to the drops. Ye, clearly,

98
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: It's all right. So there you go. UHC South, we're

99
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: talking about the Indianapolis Colts. Andrew Luck officially throwing again,

100
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: kind of sort of how do you officially throw? Kind

101
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: of Reports are that he's throwing footballs footballs that are

102
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: not NFL sized, So this begs the question, like what

103
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: size are they? Are they like the little mini football

104
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: as you get for at the store. Is I hope

105
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: he's throwing nerf Ward Texas? Those things were great. It's

106
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: just to build confidence, you know. It's like, oh man,

107
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: look how far I'm throwing it? Right? I loved being

108
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: a kid with those nerve Foor Texas and checking it

109
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: me like I'm John Elway. Let's get one of the

110
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: ones that has the whistle sound too, because that would

111
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: be awesome. Man, That's what That's what I hope he's throwing.

112
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: It's probably it's probably something in actual football, probably small

113
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: junior size or something. This is still worrisome for from

114
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective because when Luck was healthy those last

115
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: few years, he was lights out. He was like an

116
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: easy lock for like a top four elite fantasy score.

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: But his that offense has changed a lot to like

118
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: they are not that that team is in an absolute

119
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: rebuild and they're not a lot of great weapons there

120
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: for him. So he comes back late or he's not

121
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: his old self. I feel like a lot of people

122
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: might still be wanting to chase Andrew Luck based on

123
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: the name and what he's done in the past. But

124
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot better quarterbacks to look after

125
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: in fantasy than Luck. So I mean legitimately, and I

126
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: know it was Luck himself that was saying this the

127
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: other day, but after what the Colts put us through.

128
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, remember this time last year there was talking

129
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: that Andrew Luck could possibly start Week one. Thing that

130
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: goes right, So pardon me if I am very skeptical

131
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: about this. Whole cults is the worst. I mean, this

132
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: is this is Bill Belichick in you know what I mean,

133
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: Like Belichick would have been like, we're not talking about that,

134
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: but maybe or they just put out fake reports about

135
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: him playing week wanted continually not playing. You know. It's

136
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: just it's just it's so silly, You're right. I mean,

137
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: he was supposedly, you know, close to coming back, maybe

138
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: possibly in Week one. Then it was like, you know,

139
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: I hope he'll probably miss the first month and he'll

140
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: be he'll be good to go. I mean, the guy

141
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: wasn't even throwing footballs all off at some point, crazy

142
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: or at some point Chuck Bogonald was saying, yeah, I

143
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: don't I really don't even know what he's doing. Oh

144
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: that's right. Oh. I think it was this quote. I

145
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: stay in my lane, like, Bro, your lane is to

146
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: know about the franchise quarterback. Bro, what are you doing?

147
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: What are you doing? No, but you're Alex, You're right. Uh,

148
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: this is a guy that I think a lot of

149
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: people will chase that upside. Um. I'm sure that will

150
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: be knowing the Colts. I'm sure there will be positive

151
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: glowing reports uh in the upcoming months here. But um, again,

152
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: he's not throwing in NFL football. Um. Any video we've

153
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: seen of him, it's it's all just real, real, real

154
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: light tossing. Um. And so to me, it's just, you know,

155
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: when we get to draft season, I mean, what are

156
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: we talking about here? I mean, yeah, I guess the

157
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: I guess the upside could be a top five quarterback,

158
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: I guess, But that's a long shot. There's so many

159
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: good right now. You just run him through the top

160
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: of your head. Rogers, Russell, Wilson, Brady Wentz, Breeze, Cousins, Watson, Watson,

161
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: Watson all day long. You can probably get him in

162
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: a little bit of a discount right now too. And

163
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: then you've still got guys even mentioned like Stafford matt Ryan, Like,

164
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of feasible quarterbacks to to settle

165
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: yourself with instead of taking the risk on Luck. It's

166
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: almost I don't know how gung ho you know drafters

167
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: will be about Andrew Luck, but I can almost guarantee

168
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: you he's going to be priced out for what I

169
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: want to pay for for for Andrew Luck. So so

170
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: there you go, take that as you will. Jordan Matthews

171
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: found a new home. It's in New England. It's a

172
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: one year deal. He can turn up to one point

173
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: seven million dollars, but only a hundred seventy thousand is

174
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: guaranteed of his contract is guaranteed. If he doesn't show

175
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: something in camp, he could absolutely be a cut candidate

176
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,119
Speaker 1: before the season starts. This was kind of a weird

177
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: acquisition for me. I'm assuming it's just the Patriots doing

178
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: that Patriot thing where they pick up random guys and

179
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: are like, hey, if he's better than we thought, or

180
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: we can find a great role for him, great. But

181
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: like Jordan Matthews is pretty much primarily a slot receiver,

182
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: and that's a role that's very duplicative right now, like

183
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: they don't need it. They have Edelman coming back, they

184
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: have him and Dola still. So I would venture to

185
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: guess that Matthews isn't gonna be on the team, or

186
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: if he is, it's not going to be of a

187
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: significant value fantasy purpose. It makes me wonder what the

188
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: health situation is for those two other gentlemen that you

189
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: just mentioned, because let's be honest here that those two

190
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: guys are not necessarily the model of health the NFL.

191
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: But on the flip side, Jordan Matthews has if you're

192
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: looking to replace the wrong guy to higher that's a

193
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: great point. Actually that's a great point. Uh yeah, I

194
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: mean from a fantasy perspective. I mean, you know, what

195
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: are you get from Jordan Matthews. I can't imagine he's

196
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: going to be draft worthy at all, But certainly anything

197
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: that happens up in New England is worth talking about.

198
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: And here we are doing that. The Saints they signed

199
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: to Cameron Meredith to a two year, nine point six

200
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: million dollar offer sheet, uh five point four million guaranteed.

201
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: Now the Bears can match by today as it happened.

202
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: They have us. They have said that they will not match.

203
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: They will not Cameron Meredith is a Saint. You know,

204
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: it's funny. I I didn't think that they would because, um,

205
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: the guaranteed money is not huge. Um, But how did

206
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: they view Cameron Meredith? You know what I'm saying, He's

207
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: coming off of a major injury. Do they want to

208
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: kind of lock up that kind of money into a

209
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: guy that they probably feel like they could replace relatively

210
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: easily through the draft. So I don't know, But Okay,

211
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: So Cameron Meredith now he's on the Saints team up

212
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, playing opposite of Michael Thomas supposedly, I guess. So,

213
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what's what's the value here for Cameron Mereith?

214
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: Are we excited by this move? Uh? We would have

215
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: been more excited if this was the Saints of like

216
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: three four years ago, when there was a lot more

217
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: volume in the passing game, right. But now with this team,

218
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: uh running through the engine of Camara and Ingram, there's

219
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: not as much leftover, especially after Michael Thomas is going

220
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: to get his which he will because he's fantastic. But

221
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: I think Camera Meredith will at least be worth a

222
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: later on Darthur because he was really good in that

223
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: last year but with the Bears before he got injured.

224
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: Um uh, he was like a legit number one lining

225
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: up outside, lining up in the slot, taken on top cornerbacks. Uh.

226
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: So if he can get into a more sizeable role,

227
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, like that number two role opposite Michael Thomas's

228
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: past year as a hodgepodge off ted gain, Willie Sneed

229
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: pours them out for him among other guys. So there's

230
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: certainly room for Mary to be successful. It'll be a

231
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: tough week to week gambit, but it could be one

232
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: of those things where in games where they might project

233
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: to be more high scoring. Married if somebody we want

234
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: to looks to throw in the flex or pick up

235
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: in DFS, I want to see what his reliability is underneath,

236
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: because I think they have a need. I mean obviously

237
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: they were you know, they wanted Willie Sneed to fill

238
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: that rule. Um, he did did not, He did not,

239
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: he did, he did not do that in But can

240
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: can Cameron Meredith feel that role? Right? Because we know

241
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas can do everything. He can go down the sideline,

242
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: he can go up fielding, he can go underneath if

243
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: he if he needs to do his touchdown, he's he

244
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: does it all. But they need that reliable number two

245
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: guy that Drew brees Um has consistently used to pick

246
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: apart defenses that maybe play off a little too much,

247
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, he keeps defenses honest. So um,

248
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: if he can find that, you know, a little bit

249
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: of explosiveness that he had in Chicago before the entry,

250
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm very intrigued by this signy because he's he is

251
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: one of those oversized slot guys. That's pretty good. It is,

252
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: and especially in this offense. It's and it's becoming a

253
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: thing now around the league. We're starting to see some

254
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: more of that around the league. My my concern is,

255
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: as Alex mentioned, the the target volume has gone down

256
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: in that offense now that they've got a couple of

257
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: really good running backs who can also catch the ball.

258
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't Camara had a hundred targets last

259
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: year and one right such a hundred and seventy one

260
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: targets to your running backs alone in a in a

261
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: passing attack that where the volume was down was down. Yeah,

262
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: and add to it that you know, as we know,

263
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is notorious for generally spreading the ball around like, yeah,

264
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: he'll have one or two guys that he likes. We

265
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: we see him Michael Thomas and Alvin Camara and Margaret

266
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: Marking or seem to be the guys that he likes,

267
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: which means it, you know, for all the talent and

268
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: ability Karen Meredith may have, he really is still fighting

269
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: for scraps off. It's it's more of maybe it's a

270
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: a really good real life football move fantasy maybe not

271
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: so much that huge. And for context of these numbers,

272
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: like we keep talking about Drew here, Drew Brees is um,

273
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: we'll just do it. Since two thousand ten, his past

274
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: attempt numbers sixty eight six fifty seven, six seventy six,

275
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: fifty six, fifty nine, six seven, six, seventy three six

276
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: Man's that's like, that's a drop. To contextualize that, that's like,

277
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: that's probably a roughly a drop on average of about

278
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenties some targets. That's like a number

279
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: two wide receiver. Like you remember a couple of years ago,

280
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: Harmon wrote that nice article about how for fantasy we

281
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: want to try to target receivers that are gonna get

282
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: it targets the whole wide receivers, and then Marcus mentioned

283
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy of those five thirty targets going

284
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: to the RBS. Slim slim pickings for the ancillary options

285
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: after the running backs of Michael Thomas. You're slim pickings there.

286
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: But again I think it's a good real life move,

287
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: but for fantasy and maybe not to too relevant. All right,

288
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: let's look, can we talk about Jordan I wish Adam

289
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: Rank was here. Actually, I don't think he wants to

290
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: talk about this right now. What is busters for the

291
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: next half? What is going on with Jordan Howard? The

292
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: big story, you know a few days ago is that

293
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: he deleted all of his Bears related picks off of

294
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: the i G and then sending Bears fans and Bears

295
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: blogs into a complete and absolute mad house. But then

296
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: a few days later he reloaded some of those picks,

297
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: not all of some of those picks, but again fans

298
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: and bloggers and and reporters covering the team. As Alex

299
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: mentioned in a tizzy, it's just rampant speculation that a

300
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: trade is in the work and draft. It doesn't person

301
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: plugged in people though, like all that speculation. I think

302
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: a couple of good, well sourced speed reporters in the

303
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: Chicago area, through old Water on It and rap sheet,

304
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport our own NFL Network Inside, said it's it's

305
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: not happening. But I was kind of surprised because as

306
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: I was doing my top two hundred, I feel like,

307
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: I know Jordan Howard has skillets for hands and his

308
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: like cross eyed when the ball comes near him in

309
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: the passing game, But um, the man is a is

310
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: a talented running back, and I think with that that style,

311
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: that style that Matteggi's gonna bring, and that gets a

312
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: little his running backs going downhill a little bit more.

313
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: Could really see Jordan Howard well and like he might

314
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: not catch a lot of passes, but I mean he

315
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: had over a thousand yards and like eight or nine

316
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns each of the last two years on a bad

317
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: Bears offense. What's gonna happen now with Naggie and Alan

318
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: Robinson and Trey Burton helping opening things up, I think

319
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: Howard could be an unsexy, like a thousand yards tend

320
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: touchdown pick up. So my my playing Devil's advocate to that,

321
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: and that's not allowed. I made my point. I apologized,

322
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: But I think the counterpoint is seeing what Treat Cohen

323
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: did last year and knowing what his abilities are and

324
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: and drink. I think it becomes incumbent upond Jordan Howard

325
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: to kind of assert himself more in the passing game

326
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: and not necessarily have to be like a big time

327
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: pass catcher, but be enough of a pass catcher so

328
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: that when you're out on the field, the defense has

329
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: to at least think about that as an option. Because

330
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: that was that was kind of the big knock on

331
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson in New Orleans. And he was on the field,

332
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: you knew what they were going to do. And so

333
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: if Jordan Howard isn't catching the football, then suddenly it

334
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: becomes well, then it becomes Coen who can do both.

335
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: You put him out there, you can disguise what you're

336
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: doing a little bit more offensively. Maybe he'll get better.

337
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: We haven't quite had the Adrian Peterson level. Uh, I'm

338
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: gonna get fifty catches this year, Howard. Maybe this will

339
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: be the first year. Uh, we'll wait and see it's not.

340
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: But it's unreal. Hid out you've been You've been driving

341
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: the train for a long time. But we'll say with

342
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: Cohen to this backfield should be really interesting for fantasy

343
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: purposes with Matt Neeggie there but two of Terry co

344
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: eight seven runs went for negative yardage last year and

345
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: four went for no gain, so roughly thirty of his

346
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: yards did not go past the line of scrimmage. Basically,

347
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: he's going to be the past he's going to be

348
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: or or it's like there, or they they look for

349
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: somebody else, or one of those guys is going to

350
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: be asked to improve their skill set. And I would

351
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 1: think that learning how to catch for a professional football

352
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: player might be a little easier than not gaining yet

353
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: exactly right, No, you're right there. I look, if Jordan

354
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: Howard uh is on this Bears team again, new new

355
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: head coach, new offensive coordinator. We're all really excited about

356
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: all the things that Chicago has done. Jordan Howard was

357
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: a pretty darned good football fantasy player last year as well.

358
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: Where does he go in this upcoming draft? If if

359
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: everything holds right? Now, let's let's look at some ADP

360
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: because there are monsters that are drafting already. Go to

361
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football calculator. You want to do you do Fantasy

362
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: Football Calculator, I'll go to my fantasy league. Uh, but

363
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: I think he's going in like the back in their round,

364
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: maybe even because I feel like people are chasing the

365
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: uh not even chasing is the wrong word, but they're

366
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: going after like Kareem Hunt and Alvin Kamar first and

367
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Um, all right, give me just two seconds here.

368
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: I guess that's the thing is that there weren't too

369
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: many wide receivers that I don't know. I just went

370
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: ham last year, you know what I mean. Like, obviously

371
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: the top guys are going to be gone off the

372
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: top of the draft board. David Johnson is going to

373
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: be making a comeback as well. But I still think

374
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: people are gonna get you know, I think I think

375
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: people are still gonna try to get Jordan Howard in

376
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: the late second, early third, so the third round. On

377
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Calculator, he used it two oh four. He's

378
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: he's tied with Devonte Freeman. They're both so mid four

379
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: fourth pick, second round, mid second round ish and in

380
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: uh my fantasy league, across all their drafts, he's going

381
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: with a thirty fourth pick, so that's fourth round, third

382
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: fourth round and ten team third round in uh in

383
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: twelve teams end of the third it's interesting. So and

384
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: I mean that's what I think a lot of people are.

385
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't catch passes. That might be concerned

386
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: about that, but he could. He could still plug plug away.

387
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: And if you get if you're gonna get over a

388
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: thousand rushing yards and close to ten touchdowns from running back,

389
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: that's that's very valuable. You know. The thing I liked

390
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: about Jordan Howard last year two was the fact that

391
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: he was I don't even want to say I mean

392
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: he was durable, but I mean he was always kind

393
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: of dinged up but played through it. He was a

394
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: tough s ob. Last year. There were several of those

395
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: weeks where you're like where people were like fretting it

396
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: so hard because he had the shoulder injury, like didn

397
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: practice and then he'd go out with like thirty six

398
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: carries and touchdown. You're insane, person. It's like fourth quarter

399
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: in overtime and he's running people over with his busted shoulder.

400
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: That's what I love. I love that about him. I

401
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: absolutely love that about him. And he's in a classic

402
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: old school between the tackles running back for sure. He's

403
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: somebody I'm certainly gonna have my eye on as the draft.

404
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: As draft we get closer to drafts and see where

405
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: his value is and if you think he might be

406
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 1: a steel or pro valued and that kind of say.

407
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, man, I would feel a

408
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: hell of a lot better about Jordan Howard as my

409
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: RB too. Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, he's my lead back.

410
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: That's a little yeah, you know what I mean. If

411
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: you go more of a zero RB thing and you

412
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: pick him up in the third round though, that's still

413
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: not too bad. Yeah, it's not too bad either. All right,

414
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: Let's get to the roster Reset series NFL dot com

00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: reminder of what is happening, uh in football. So can

00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: so really nicely. We have more breaking news. Well, there's

426
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: a breaking news, but a developing story, developing developing story.

427
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Since we're talking the NFC. Yes, Uh, there's reports that

428
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant and Jerry Jones are gonna sit down on

429
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: Friday and the talk that gets cut. What there's talk

430
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: that De's that's Bryant could be as soon as Friday.

431
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: Oh my, that is a big ruster reset. Oh yeah, interesting.

432
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find some reports right now. This is

433
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: uh the first report. Who's reporting that on Twitter dot com? Well,

434
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: I know Justina Anderson at ESPN had some stuff about it.

435
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of scuttle, but I'd just like

436
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: to use the word scutt uh, that that Dez Bryant

437
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: could be experiencing his last few days as a cowboy. Um,

438
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: there's basically a lot of talk right now. I guess

439
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: on the old Twitter dot com, uh that Jerry and

440
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Daz are going to meet to talk about des is

441
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: contract and that uh Jerry doesn't necessarily want to cut him,

442
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: but if Daz is not willing to work out a

443
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: more I guess market value deal because you know, again

444
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: sixteen point five million is his cap number. That's I mean,

445
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: I think the number they will ask him for a

446
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: pay cut first and and and that's what That's what

447
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And Dallas is in it's hurting as always

448
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: on the salary cap side. So um, interesting, interesting, interesting.

449
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: There's been speculation about that for a while, Dees and

450
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, as we've talked about and Harmon I know

451
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: is going through which is that, but like does could

452
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: still be a very very productive player, I think if

453
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: he changes his role a little bit. But I know

454
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: Harmon put him through put through the reception perception ringer

455
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: and results were not good, not pretty, not pretty on

456
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: the outside. But that that wide receiver room. They were

457
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: probably gonna draft somebody anyways, and if they really feel

458
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: like they might might be in their best interest to

459
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: uh get some fresh blood in there go with. But

460
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: if they cut des Bryant, they lost Bryce Butler to

461
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and that puts Terrence Williams and Terence Williams

462
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: and Alan Hearns there one there, one two combination with

463
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: Jason Wenton still cruising around out there in the middle

464
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: of the field. Okay, you have two things. What's the

465
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: other thing? That was it? Oh? That was it? That

466
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: was it? Okay, that was I thought you said two things. No, no, no, no, okay, okay,

467
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: that's good. All let's start with the Giant, shall we. Uh.

468
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: They added left tackle Nate Solder from previously from the

469
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: New England Patriot's a huge deal. They needed line so badly.

470
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, so bad. Eric Flowers expected to move

471
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: to the right side, I believe, but uh and he

472
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: was just a revolving to left tackle. It was just,

473
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: oh my god, it was so bad. Uh. So, yes,

474
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: they they may have overspent a little bit on Solder,

475
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: but that's okay. They absolutely needed the help on the

476
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: offensive line. He has being rock solid for the New

477
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: Land Patriots. So a good acquisition in my mind. Anyways,

478
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: for the New York Giants. They also added a speculative

479
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver and Cody Latimer. That's a special teamers. That's

480
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: a that's a first round draft pick. You know he

481
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: was the second round or was he a second rounder?

482
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: Believe Cody Lattimer was the last person left in the

483
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: green room that draft in the second round. That's that's

484
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: the mostly that's mostly moved for special teams. That's kind

485
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: of where he made his his bones in Denver. Well

486
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: he uh, I mean Brandon Marshall's getting up there, and

487
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: if you know, Shepard and Marshall is still on this

488
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: currently still on the team, Yes, but he's thirty four

489
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: years old and coming off of season ending injury. So

490
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: who knows. I think Lattimer, I mean, because he didn't

491
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: have much production in Denver. You know, there were always

492
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: reports couldn't get on the field. There were reports of

493
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: him not jelling well with Peyton Manning early on and

494
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: that kind of affecting his confidence and stuff. So it

495
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: could just be they're taking a shot on on a

496
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: young talented guy. I mean, he's six two to fifteen.

497
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: He was very productive in college, super productive. He could

498
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: he could be a nice fit there. I'm not saying

499
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: we need to go scoop him up in fans, but

500
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 1: just a name highlight. You know, not necessarily you're going

501
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: to draft the guy, but just be aware that this kid,

502
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: Cody Lattimer, was extremely productive in college, was, as Alex mentioned,

503
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: a second round draft pick, so I draft pick as well.

504
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: So you know, obviously Denver saw something in the tape there,

505
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: but he just couldn't get on the field. I mean,

506
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: I just felt like he didn't have a well defined

507
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: role with Denver Tomarus Thomas was there on the outside. Uh,

508
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: they hardly ever. I mean, you know obviously once you

509
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: add Emmanuel Sanders as well, where where's the target chair?

510
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So he just couldn't really

511
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: get on the field. I wonder if this is a

512
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: fresh start for him. Good athlete is Cody Latimer. So

513
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm at least intrigued danger zone intrigued, oh by Cody

514
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: lest Uh. The Giants also added running back Jonathan Stewart

515
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: for some unknown gentleman man you know the moment, the

516
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: moment he got cut in Carolina and gentleman went to

517
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: New York. I'm like, I bet you this is going

518
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: to happen. Why did they and what what are you

519
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: guys doing? Veteran presence? It's so you have a veteran

520
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: presence we have talked about. He grabbed it to and

521
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: then you can have Jonathan Stewart be the mentor to sake. Look, man,

522
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm spitballing here. I got nothing. When you

523
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: can sign a thirty one year old running back those

524
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: yards per game, and yards per attempt have decreased in

525
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: each of the last three years. You got you gotta

526
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: go do it. This move was puzzling. The Giants have

527
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: a disastrous running back room right now. I mean Wayne

528
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: Goldman showed some stuff. I mean, they could have resigned

529
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: Orleans dark Wall at a lower number, and I think

530
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: there would have been that would have been actually better, probably,

531
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a familiarity thing. Gentleman's getting a

532
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: guy he knows. Um, they'll they'll certainly draft a running back.

533
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: I think them drafting sake want it too is crazy.

534
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm not saying it's a I'm not

535
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: saying that I would do it, but yeah, that's the

536
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: thing that could happen. Why is it I'm confused by this.

537
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: Why is that not a good if he's the best talent,

538
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: uh offensive player, Do you think he's so much better

539
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: than the other running backs in this class that you

540
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: would that you feel like you have to take him

541
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: at two instead of waiting until later and maybe getting something.

542
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I guess My counter argument to

543
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: that is, I mean you can make that argument about anybody.

544
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know who's the Who's this offensive guard

545
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: at a Notre Dame. It is gonna go swittinon Nelson,

546
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson? Is he so much better? Again? I don't know.

547
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't do often if I'm the Giants and I

548
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: don't know. Taking a quarterback, yes, that's I mean absolutely, yes,

549
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: Eli is barely hanging on. Is it by a threat?

550
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: I mean just threat? Just oh my god, yeah, no, no,

551
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, look, they have a serious need

552
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: at quarterback. I'm not saying that they don't, but um uh,

553
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: there have been so many it's it's funny. I don't.

554
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't, I guess I'm What I'm confused by is

555
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: how do we always forget there have been so many

556
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: teams that have passed on great players, great players to

557
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: take a swing in a miss on a quarterback because

558
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: you have to have a quarterback. Like I think it

559
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: was Chris Westling on the Around the NFL podcast made this,

560
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: and I think it was from Thomas Dematrof, the GM

561
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: of the Falcons, who said, uh, the quest for a

562
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: quarter back consumes you until you have one, and you

563
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: have to do everything you can. You have to keep

564
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: making those chances to get one because otherwise you're stuck

565
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: in NFL purgatory and the Giants right now. We can

566
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: go back and forth and okay, but I don't agree

567
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: with that at all. But the Giants have had a

568
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: great run with Eli Manning here. You know, they've been

569
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: blessed with a fantastic starting quarterback for the last fourteen

570
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: years basically, and now they have an opportunity to secure

571
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback for the future, unless they don't think one

572
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: of those guys is that guy. I don't. I just

573
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: don't think you know what I mean. I don't think

574
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: you take Barkley here, because then if Eli is done

575
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: next year and you don't have an answer at quarterback,

576
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: but then what you're gonna have, then you're gonna have

577
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: Barkley try and win you games. No, then there's next

578
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: year's draft, as we've mentioned, But what if the next

579
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: year's draft is always better? They could easily they could easily,

580
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: like stumble into six or seven wins and they're not

581
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: as high, and then they have to mortgage more picks,

582
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: and it's like you've given the chance right now to

583
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: take your future. You go get them. That's like what

584
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: the Colts did with Andrew Luck. You know, when they

585
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: had Manning was hurt, they probably they probably could have

586
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: just stuck with Manning and brought back and not taking

587
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 1: luck and got in those last what three to three

588
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: years on a Manning Yeah, by the way, I mean

589
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: just going back and looking, I know this isn't fantasy,

590
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: but the last fifteen Super Bowls, fourteen of them have

591
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: been won by teams that arguably had a franchise quarterback.

592
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: And I know, I know that Nick Foles played in

593
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl for the Eagles, but they had Carson Wentz

594
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: who took them a long way. They got the number

595
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: one seed and home field advantage in the playoffs because

596
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: the one year is probably Joe Flacco. Okay, every year,

597
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: every other year they're the the quarterback of the winning

598
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: team was a guy easily considered to be a franchise quarterback.

599
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: That's true, But I mean, again, what round are these

600
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks even taken? Right? So, like I'm thinking about Russell

601
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: Wilson being in the third round, I mean, obviously Tom

602
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: Brady a million big ben one Banning, one Planning, one

603
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: Brady one breeze. Second, I mean backwards into a franchise

604
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: quarterback that didn't happen. But even Rogers went late in

605
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: the first just what I'm saying, you know what I mean.

606
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: It's so if the Giants want to move back into

607
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: the end of the first round and take a guy

608
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson or something, I I'd be all about it.

609
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: That being said, if they love donald and Donald's there too,

610
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: because there's all these reports now that Josh Allen might

611
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: be going one overall that makes my head hurt. If

612
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: that happens, I'm all about that too. So I don't know.

613
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. Man. Like I said, we

614
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: could go back and forth on this all day long.

615
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: But if they I think, say Kwan is just is amazing.

616
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: I think he's amazing, And if and if they take

617
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: him there, I don't think that's bad pick at all.

618
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: Um Redskins. Now, oh by the way, we didn't even

619
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that, oh by the way, Pat

620
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: Tremer head coach he was most recently see but you

621
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: know he's gonna add a little life theoretically to that

622
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: Giant's offense, which not gonna be hard after the ben

623
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: MCATs remember when their last head coach was going to

624
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: offer some off of life. You know what I mean,

625
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: He's giant Denny's menu. Nope, so bad. Uh do you

626
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: remember you remember when they and the same eleven personnel

627
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: and like nineties. I saw that tweet and I'm like,

628
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: that can't be right. I think. I'm like, that's a mistake.

629
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: I looked it up like that, like cross checked it.

630
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: I went to MS, wanted to I like texted people

631
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: at other websites. Is this right? Is this really? Is

632
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: this real? No? It's real. No, it is real, And

633
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: there's ways to run eleven personnel a lot of different ways.

634
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: They didn't, but they did not though. I mean, it

635
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: was the same frecking formation all the time. It's like

636
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: the it's like the hundred ways to cook chicken cook

637
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: books somebody gave me when I graduated from college, you

638
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, you can do all

639
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: these different things, but at the end of the day,

640
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: it's still chicken, Like you know, I don't know, it's

641
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy, it's kind of weird, but but

642
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm excited about what the Giants could potentially do if

643
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: they reload here in the draft, and and obviously Pat

644
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: Schirmer having influence on that offense as well. Okay, the Redskins.

645
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: Now they added Alex Smith, obviously, they lost Kirk Cousins.

646
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: They added Paul Richardson on the outside as a good, um,

647
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: explosive wide receiver. So what do we make of the

648
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: moves here in Washington? I mean, it kind of just

649
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: felt like a lot of I feel like they've got

650
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: a slight down grade at quarterback, but otherwise it was

651
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: just a lot of like lateral moves, sort of like

652
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: this offense has been pretty productive for fantasy. I think

653
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to see how everything. I think we

654
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: talked about this on last week's podcast too, but how

655
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: the targets shake out with a different quarterback ont of there,

656
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: It's still gonna be Jake Gruden's still gonna be high flying.

657
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: They don't have an answer at running back, right, That

658
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: was my question because they have They have Chris Thompson,

659
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: but he's coming off a bad injury and he was

660
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: so good last year. Pan isn't wasn't didn't look like

661
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: the answer. Is he gonna maybe improve a year two?

662
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: Are they gonna go look to another one in the draft.

663
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: Those will be big questions, But uh, the wide receiver

664
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: pecking order is going to be really interesting because you know, Smith,

665
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: as we talked about it frequently, kind of funneled into

666
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: some guys. There's the Vernon Davis connection still jan obviously

667
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: a question, but like it's tough to UH to try

668
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: and assess where to draft a guy like UH value

669
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: Paul Richardson, Josh Boxon and Jamison Crowder because like, on

670
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: the one hand, like joff Sson, all the physical tools

671
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: we saw him flash at times last year, can he

672
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: be a complete route to route down to down receiver

673
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: like Jamison Crowder? Is he going to get the target

674
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: volume over the middle and out of the slot necessary

675
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: to be like relevant on a fen weekly basis and

676
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: fantasy or is he gonna get four for forty five

677
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: every week? I would I'm gonna be really interested to

678
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: see how much because Alex Smith is a guy that

679
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: funneled targets really to just a few guys in that

680
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: case the offense. Now he goes into an offense that

681
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: has not been known really to funnel targets to anybody.

682
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: Um and maybe is it the offense, is it the

683
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: gruten offense or is that cousins? You know what I'm saying.

684
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: So we get some real We're gonna have some real

685
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: answers in the first couple of weeks, but right now

686
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: I think it's uh. To me, it's just a real

687
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: toss up as to what's gonna happen. Well, oh, sorry,

688
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: just the last point is, like with Smith, you look

689
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: back at his past teams, there wasn't really one that

690
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: was necessarily if everybody's healthy as deep in the class

691
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: catching corps. Yeah, exactly. I think I think he found

692
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: him with a few targets because he really only had

693
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: a few times get more guys to spread the ball around.

694
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: M Paul Richardson, though I'm excited about this move. He

695
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: goes from an offense in Seattle that was you know,

696
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: free wheeling. But you know, again, I don't necessarily know

697
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: if it was a high flying attack. I know Russell

698
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: Wilson is a great player and all that, but um,

699
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: Paul Richardson basically had to be second fiddle. Is he

700
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 1: second fiddle in Washington or is he potentially a guy

701
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: that could really break out and have a great season here? Yes? Yes, uh,

702
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: I will say this second fiddle and could break both

703
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: things can be true. Between Paul Richardson and Josh Dockson,

704
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: Washington could lead the League in like highlight reel, like

705
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, being killing you guys. Yeah, no, it's true.

706
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: The one the one thing I don't like about Dockson

707
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith is Alex Smith has shown a proclivity

708
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: to just he will not throw to covert guys, and

709
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: Dockson's a little bit of a different beast because even

710
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: though it looks like he's covered a lot of times,

711
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: he's just not because he is such a physical receiver

712
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: at the point of attack. But will Alex Smith risk it?

713
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: And to me, I think the answer is clear, that

714
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: answer would be no. If that's the case, Paul Richardson

715
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: could emerge as the number one wide receiver in Washington.

716
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: I love the route running. Obviously, he's a guy that

717
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: can go over the top as well. They paid him

718
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: decent money too, That's what I came, you know what

719
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So not necessarily the physical specimen that Dockson is,

720
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: But I just think, again, just a better complete receiver

721
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: is Paul rich And I really think he can emerge

722
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: here with Alex Smith and this Jake Gruden offense and

723
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: and really do some damage. I'm excited about what Paul Richardson.

724
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: I gotta see what the price is gonna be. Yeah,

725
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: thats gonna I gotta see what the price is gonna be.

726
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun offense to watch in training

727
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: camp in the preseason, you know, the preseasonseason. But at

728
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: times it can help be someone informative as especially with

729
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: these new offenses and new teams where quarterbacks are looking

730
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: you know what, how are they jelling? Stuff like that.

731
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: So especially that third preseason game will be a good

732
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: one to watch with this offense and see what it's

733
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: how it's starting to take shape. The Cowboys they added

734
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns on the outside American Barber also added offensive

735
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: tackle Cameron Fleming, which a lot of folks have a

736
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: lotted as being a very good move for the Dallas Cowboys. Uh,

737
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't again, I'm I'm not a huge offensive line guy.

738
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: I mean I know Cameron Fleming. I mean, is he great?

739
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure, okay, great, I'll take it. But uh but yeah,

740
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: they they added depth now to their to their offensive

741
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: line that actually last year was surprisingly below average. They

742
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: had lost you know, two fifths or three fifths so

743
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: their starting offensive line for two years ago. Um, and

744
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 1: the chemistry just wasn't there. I mean they I think

745
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: they thought they had some depth, but obviously they did not.

746
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: I see Alex Art, I was just I was all

747
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: sided up the now I was. I was saying about

748
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: my next point, and it's just probably my hat. ID

749
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: probably need a coffee later. The Cowboys receiver room, no.

750
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: As we're talking about, though, like man does, this group

751
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: needs some work. And if they do cut des Bryant,

752
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: it's going to be could be dicey for for Dak

753
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: and this fantasy outlook too, you know, because at least

754
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: with Dez, he was still a pretty good force around

755
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: the around the red zone. You know, he's got that

756
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: big body. He's always been a physical guy, like that

757
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: touchdown maker. Man. But you know what, what are what

758
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns are they getting? Are they getting the guy

759
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: that was a was a great body control receiver in

760
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns, deep threat, you know, could catch things

761
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: really well at the sideline, scoop up errant Blake Bortles throws.

762
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: Are they getting a guy that's, you know, coming off

763
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: some injuries and isn't quite the same Terence Williams not

764
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver. That's dicey. Cole Beasley is

765
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: should probably get rid of. I know Harmon's been pushing

766
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: for them to swap out for Ryan Switzer there probably

767
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: I imagine they got to. If you took Ryan Switzer

768
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: and put him in an eleven jersey and ran him

769
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: out there, would you know, how long before people would know?

770
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: It depends how long his harriss that was that you know,

771
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: there was also what's it called the helmet salad or whatever.

772
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: Just tell people like, yeah, that's beast about it. He's

773
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: got a hat um. And the trouble is to this

774
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: rookie class, I feel like it's kind of been a

775
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: consensus pick. And I've watched I think four or five,

776
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: maybe six of these wide receivers. Now is there's no

777
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: like Claire cut come in be the guy a wide

778
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: receiver in this class. There's a lot of decent role players.

779
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: But you know, all I can think is so many

780
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: more touches for Ezekiel Elliott, which so much more oppetition

781
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: should be great for his fantasy value. I mean, unless

782
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: they start loading nine guys in the box and are

783
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: like beat us with your receivers and separation. Are we

784
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: talking about Dudson year old tight end was gonna leak

785
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: out there? They're gonna get Jason Witten, who who runs

786
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: like a man who just got out of the shower

787
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: and forgot he left the pot on the stove. Description

788
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: is he wearing the towel around like full movement, just

789
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: supper like, oh crap, this that's splashing on the make

790
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: it steam and hitting the fire underneath it. No, but

791
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: this offense, Uh, Alex, You're right that this offense could

792
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: be an abject disaster. It really could be. I mean,

793
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: even Alan herns I like the signing. Um, I like

794
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: the signing a lot. As a matter of fact, if

795
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant, um, you know, changes his game just a

796
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: little bit or um whatever, he basically adds another piece

797
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: to that offense that they sorely need, which which I

798
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: really like. Um. That being said, Uh, an injury prone guy,

799
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, even even going back to his high school days. Uh,

800
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: we're talking about Alan hern suffering multiple multiple season ending

801
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: injuries Miami again, just just multiple season ending injury. He

802
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: just he's a guy that couldn't necessarily stay healthy. So uh,

803
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: he goes into Dallas. He's got a fresh you know

804
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: script here. Uh he could if he's healthy, as you mentioned,

805
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: if he's healthy could be a very nice addition to

806
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys passing attack. But if he doesn't pan out,

807
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: if des Bryant, you know, loses another step, Jason Witten

808
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: is still out there and they're trying to force feed

809
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: him ball, where does the scoring come from? And if

810
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: that's the case, I'd be I'd be much more worried

811
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: about is Zukiel Elliott. I'm definitely gonna be more worried

812
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott in terms of volatility from a week

813
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: to week basis. The trouble is to a lot of

814
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: scoring opportunities from running backs are predicated on getting the

815
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: ball close into the red zone. If you're passing offense

816
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: is suspect, it's a lot harder to move the ball

817
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: and get in there. However, like not to be completely

818
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: down in the dumps for Cowboys fans, like if Hearns

819
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: does return to that form, great, If they get Dez

820
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: to take a pay cup, maybe slide more inside a

821
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: little bit, could be really good. They've also got some

822
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: talent at tight end if they want to stop trotting

823
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: out hundred eight year old Jason Witten. They've got Rico

824
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: Gathers that who dynasty Twitter is always Dynasty Fantasy Twitter

825
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: is always arms about six six, only four years old,

826
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: phenomenal like he he could be a nightmare if they

827
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 1: start implementing him a little bit more. Probably not, but

828
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: let's just say it there there is a rosier scenario

829
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: where this could all come together. I mean, I'm sorry

830
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: if if I'm not if I'm a little skeptical about

831
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett making adjustments. It's not necessarily known to make adjustments.

832
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: I mean, it's sound like he has a lengthy track

833
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: record of doing nothing to that effect, James, that you're

834
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: basing your conclusion off of. That's the only if. If

835
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: it was a guy, if it was a guy that

836
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: was more apt to, you know, make changes and be

837
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: more dynamic with the play calling. What Okay, I'm I'm

838
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: all about that life. But Jason wa coming back. Jason

839
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: Garrett is still there. They're still gonna shot him out there. Man.

840
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: That's it's gonna be. It's gonna be unfortunate, all right.

841
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles, they added Michael Bennett, they added Heloti

842
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: Nata to that defensive line um and they added wide

843
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: receiver Mike Wallace, but lost tight end Trey Burton. Although

844
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: they lost Smith, Tost Smith as well, but they I

845
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: think they got better. They got better, Tory Smith got

846
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: Mike Walace exactly. You're right. Try Burton, even though he

847
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: will be a lot of folks are going to be

848
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: excited about him in Chicago, wasn't a big piece in

849
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: this particular offense anyway, So not not huge. But can

850
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: we talk about the Eagles defense at least from a

851
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,479
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective. Um, you know, they already had a great

852
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: defensive line. They add Michael Bennett, they add Holoti Nata,

853
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: who obviously is at the near the end of his

854
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: career but still a great depth dad for an Eagles

855
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: defensive line that was terrorizing quarterbacks last year. I mean,

856
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: their defense is gonna be good, but the problem is is, uh,

857
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: they're up at one of the highest scoring units. They

858
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: and the Rams and others will probably get way overdrafted

859
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: this year. So I think the the Sharper move is

860
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: going to be pivoting off of taking those guys in

861
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: the eighth, ninth, tenth round where you're gonna see him

862
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,959
Speaker 1: start going in more casual leagues and waiting and taking

863
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: a unit like the Saints, for instance, interesting who had

864
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty frisky defense last year, and they could

865
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: add to it in the first round of this draft.

866
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: They really don't, they really if they especially if they don't,

867
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: if they don't go and take like the air apparent

868
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: to Drew Brees in the first round, like if they

869
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: go and get another defensive and like Adam Rank was

870
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: just working on his mock draft he's writing up for

871
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: the website, I think they'll be coming soon and talking

872
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: about flipping the pick and having the Saints take like

873
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: a Marcus Davenport or Harold Landry, get another defensive end,

874
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: because you know, then if you've got Cameron Jordan, you've

875
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 1: got a young rookie like that, you've got Marshall Latimer,

876
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that defense might be cooking a

877
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: little bit. This is why I like talking to you guys.

878
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: So I think I think they are gonna be advising,

879
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 1: advising the listeners out there that hey, don't be that

880
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: guy that overpays and overdrafts. The Philadelphia Eagles defense, like

881
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: defensive scoring two, fluctuates a lot, and like so much,

882
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: the gap between that top scoring unit and like the

883
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: fifteen scoring unit usually is small on a week to

884
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: week basis, and fantasy is a weekly game. So wasting

885
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: a pick where you could get a potential breakout start

886
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: running back, a wide receiver on one of these high

887
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: end defenses like the Eagles, Rams, Jags that are gonna

888
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: be flashy in the drafts, sit and wait. Take somebody else.

889
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: The one, the one. The reason I like taking defense,

890
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: not not necessarily eighth ninth round, but I'm saying higher

891
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: than than I think most quote unquote sharps right is

892
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: the fact that, well, who are you playing with. If

893
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: you're playing with a bunch of buddies that they may

894
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: or may not make twenty moves all season, it's such

895
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: a great strategy to wait on quarterback and wait on defense.

896
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: But if you're playing in a hyper competitive league, it's

897
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: always interesting to me because it's like everyone's like, yeah,

898
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: let's wait on quarterback and I'm just gonna stream it. Bro,

899
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: if there's twelve guys to that, what I mean, what's

900
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: the you know, you're you're I guess the problem with

901
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: that strategy is, Okay, well everyone's doing that now. It's

902
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: a It's a such a smart strategy if you're one

903
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: of a few people doing that in your league. The

904
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: I think when we talk about that strategy, but any

905
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: strategy really it is all based on you know, to

906
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: sound all high falutin market inefficiencies. Right, it's great, and

907
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: everybody's rushing out to get a quarterback in the fifth round,

908
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah you sit back and you wait. Yeah, you know,

909
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: somebody else fall to you. But if everybody it's it's

910
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: the moneyball theory, right, Like the A's were putting together

911
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: a good team and they were getting you know, low price, uh,

912
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: get on base, get walks, those kind of guys, and

913
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: maybe the A's competitive, right, I mean everybody else like,

914
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 1: oh you know what we should kind of work right now?

915
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: The suck again. It's like it's like knowing what everybody

916
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: else is doing. I think that's always my biggest piece

917
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: of advice to try to give people, especially when it

918
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: comes to July. Everybody's asking for stuff is know your league.

919
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: That's why it benefits to play in a league with

920
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: people you've known for a long for a while, and

921
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 1: like stay in stay in leagues for several years because

922
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: you build up a league history and it gives you

923
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: a strategic advantage. You know. I know in my my

924
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: main league, my league of record quarterback has always come

925
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: at a premium. It's just the way the league has

926
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: always been. It's six point for passing touchdown. Like play

927
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: with a lot of old school, old school guys that

928
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: from you know, my this is my dad's league from

929
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 1: when he was doing it and filling out the taking

930
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: a box score from the newspaper and tabulating results and

931
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: mailing them out to everybody. So there's a lot of

932
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: guys from that from that era, and you know, they

933
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: like to get their quarterback early. So I know I

934
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: can always wait on a quarterback, and I do. And

935
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: it's one of our draft narratives now, like I'll be

936
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: looking at the board, like, oh, Welen's Alex gonna take

937
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback. It's round it's round nine, hasn't quarterback Round

938
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 1: twelve still hasn't. So knowing your league is ultra important because,

939
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: like you said to James, if if I'm in that

940
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: league and all of us are still waiting on a quarterback,

941
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: freaking you know, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees, I haven't

942
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: been taking this round. Don't pluck one of them. That guy.

943
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,959
Speaker 1: Don't give me that guy. You know what I'm saying.

944
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: So I just think it's it's interesting to me sometimes.

945
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about, you know, weight on defenses,

946
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 1: and again I'm not saying, you know, spend a single

947
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: digit draft pick on a defense, although I'll tell you

948
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 1: what I do. Play in the league where you only

949
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: you only get uh eighteen moves on the season, that's it,

950
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: and then you're capped. If you don't take defense early,

951
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: you're stuck. You're stuck, bro, because you can't stream. You

952
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: can't stream quarterback. That's what arter back school way. Early.

953
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: Defenses go way early. You can't stream that position. And

954
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: first of all, I love playing that way because it's

955
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: just kind of like it adds value to where value

956
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: has been lost. You know, hey, listen, in real football,

957
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: defenses are so important. Quarterbacks or we've talked about the

958
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: sad nausea so important in fantasy. For whatever reason, those

959
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: two positions just completely interchanged. So I like to think

960
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: you're you're a good scoring article last year, James. Hopefully

961
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: it catches on more well to to bring it back

962
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: again some point. This obviousson, the six four scoring, and

963
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: I thought it worked in our league. It did. It

964
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: worked out pretty well because the teams that did have

965
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: to wait and stream. Uh you know this Andy Dalton.

966
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: Week one was that it was me, thanks thanks for

967
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: bringing that back up for interception disaster, disaster disaster, that

968
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: was negative points. It was negative point. I took negative

969
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: points from my quarterback in week one. You can't win

970
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: that way, which I and I love it. I love it.

971
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. So I'll bring back that that

972
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: that quarterback. I might actually I might try and push

973
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: some of those roles in my my league of record,

974
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: because it's a league, like I said, that always wants

975
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks to be the most important. And I'd be like,

976
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: this is how we do it. This is how you

977
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: do it. Like you guys want to make the quarterbacks

978
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: the most important. Negative those interceptions. Baby, let's go all right,

979
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: so that's your roster reset NFL dot Com slash roster reset.

980
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: We just gave it a little fantasy spin, but the

981
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: A T N guys do a really good job of

982
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: basically reminding everybody all of all the crazy changes that

983
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: have happened in this off season. All right, let's get

984
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: too daily DAPs, dap steps, dog bites, and dipping step steps.

985
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: If you like creepy rabbits, this movie is for you.

986
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: Degenerate z is down there. This is why I love

987
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: this group of guys were like, alright, daily tap time,

988
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: Alex gilhar get us, kicked on, got a couple. I

989
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: went to see A Quiet Place last night. Great reviews.

990
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. It's very very fun, Okay. I

991
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: mean it's fun in like a horror movie sense, like

992
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: it's spooky, it's well acted. Uh, it got a cool

993
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: idea of the premise, and it's one I would say

994
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: go see it in the theater, especially because of the

995
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: premise and sort of gimmick which you know, the whole

996
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: thing is if they hear you, they hunt you. It's

997
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: these monsters that you can't make a sound because there's

998
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: a presensitive to it, and then they'll come kill you.

999
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: And it's directed by John Krasinski who was Jim from

1000
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: the Office, Uh, starring his real life wife Emily Blunt

1001
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: as well, yeah they're married. I didn't know that. Yeah,

1002
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: but it's it's a it's a really fantastic little movie.

1003
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: Like it's not perfect, but I I came out I

1004
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. Uh. It's there's some really great tension.

1005
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: I thought it's directed well, there's good characters, it's a

1006
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: cool idea. That they execute on. So go see it,

1007
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: and like you said, the reviews are great and everyone

1008
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: I've seen the billboards for it, which they if they

1009
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: hear you, they can hunt you, which I still believe

1010
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: is like a Krasinski blunt parenting tip. When they want

1011
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: their kids, that's what they tell their kids. And let's

1012
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: make that my buddy. As my buddy said the last

1013
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: night we came out of the movie. So I find

1014
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: it funny that John Krasinski made his career off of

1015
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: making funny faces on the office and not saying anything.

1016
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: So he's so exploding his directing career and features by

1017
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: making a movie where he doesn't say anything and makes face,

1018
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: although different faces when you're protecting your family from scary

1019
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: monsters and when you're trolling Dwight True other other quick depths.

1020
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: I uh, it was my good friends bachelor party this

1021
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: past weekend up in like Arrowheads. We just went and

1022
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: got a cabin. He wanted to have it low key,

1023
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,919
Speaker 1: get some guys together, drink some beers, play some games,

1024
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But so I made him a road

1025
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: trip playlist based on a bunch of his favorite bands,

1026
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: and I would scroll through all of his social media

1027
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: to find some other ones that might not have known of.

1028
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: One that made it out of the playlist that I'm

1029
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: now a fan of is called sixty five Days of Static. Uh.

1030
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: They are like hold on, let me get let me

1031
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: pull them up again to get their description. But they're

1032
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: an instrumental instrumental band, um and Uh an instrumental experimental

1033
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: rock band from Sheffield, England. But it's got really good

1034
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of just background music if you're working on something writing, studying.

1035
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: Really really dug their sound and I was listening to

1036
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: him all day yesterday as well. So six you have

1037
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: Days of Static as a recommendation, and uh I got

1038
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: a video game recommendation. One of his one of my

1039
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: buddies friends, brought up his PS four and had this

1040
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: game called tower Fall Ascension and it was great for

1041
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: the bachelor party because it was a four v four

1042
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: or like four person free for all game. But it's

1043
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: like an eight bit game. You've just got this one

1044
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: little square, but you're all these art your archers, and

1045
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 1: you're just jumping around shooting each other. And it's super simple.

1046
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: The controls are very simple, but it takes a lot

1047
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: of technique and finesse and it became so fun, like

1048
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: we're all we're all their slamback beers playing this game.

1049
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: We built a bracket and had like a winner's bracket,

1050
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: a loser's bracket. We're going through it like the we

1051
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: we had with poker. We had poker and other things,

1052
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: but we devolved into playing this stump game like three

1053
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: three hours one night, and I was like that that

1054
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: game was fun as hell though, And it's an indie game,

1055
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 1: so like some guy his company is called Matt Makes

1056
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: Games and sold it. It's like fifteen bucks. I think

1057
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: you can get it on PS four. Were on playing

1058
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: on the PS four here controllers. We're all sitting there

1059
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: and you know, it's so super random, he said. He

1060
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: brought up He's like, hey, this is this really fun.

1061
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: Like we're like, all right, sure, what the hell, let's

1062
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: play it. And then three hours later we're screaming at

1063
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: each other over the stupid game. And it's great. The

1064
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: last kill always does it will the game will put

1065
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 1: put a slow motion replay on it, so we're always

1066
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: watching those and you know, commentating on him. But it's

1067
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: really fun. TowerFall Ascension, given Ascension, that's great. What is

1068
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 1: it with you and your buddies. Whenever you play video games,

1069
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: it always ends up being a tournament. Well that's just me.

1070
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 1: I am hyper competitive by nature, and if we start

1071
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: playing him, the bracket becomes a great way if there's

1072
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: a big group of people, like with the Mario Kart

1073
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: tournament stuff, to get everybody to play and to have

1074
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: the competition beyond a fair and equal balanced sort of

1075
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: sheet instead of just like you know, oh, the winners

1076
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: always stay in, we'll just rotate the bottom people. That

1077
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: doesn't work out fair, like somebody's better at the game.

1078
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: So I just like having fair and balanced competition that

1079
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: also awards a clear what I need an answer that is.

1080
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: That is really why I always build brackets. I like it.

1081
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: Mike Marcus Grant, what do you get? A couple of things?

1082
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,760

1088
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: clicked so fast on a link before I saw that,

1089
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, yep, watching this video, it's great, it's like

1095
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: are going to determine the name in draft. What's the

1096
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: leader in the clubhouse right now? Right now, the chalk

1098
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: one overall seed in the tournament. Was it was an

1099
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: easy winner in the in the first round wide receiver

1100
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: from No. Notre Dame. Correct? Correct? Uh So he's the

1101
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 1: he's right now the chalk favorite. He's the heavy favorite

1102
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: in this one. Pretty good. The number one seeds all

1103

00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: Vita Vella thing. Well only because I can't put his

1107
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: whole name on the graphic because it's a large name.

1108
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: That's what I was hoping a lot of people, a

1109
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 1: lot of people commented on that, and I get it, like, yeah,

1110
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: but it's so St. Brown hercules matafa, hercules, matafa. That's

1113
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,799

1114
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: off against Baker Mayfield and round one that's that's going

1115
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: to be a slaughter house pretty much. Yeah, but round one,

1116

1151
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: Madden had Vic on the cover. We had that in

1155
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: ever played as the Falcons, I just hit Algae cross

1156
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: all day. The Victor Crumpler combo was unstoppable. I've run

1157
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: that a little short out route. Yep, He's Algae Crumpler.

1158
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: Never had so many Hunter and thirty hard games. I

1159
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: love it. Man. He was one of the first tight

1160
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: ends I ever drafted in fantasy. Yes, he was not

1161
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: a great fantasy I love looking but thinking back on

1162
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: some of the random players I drafted many many years ago,

1163
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: I just remember drafting him and again, I just love

1164
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: the name to Algae. I was like, this guy's name

1165
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: is really Algae like for reals, Yes, but not a

1166
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: great fantasy end, as I found out later. I will

1167
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: give daily DAPs to um the mark Zuckerberg gifts. I

1168
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: was so I was so distroy yesterday because I was

1169
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: watching Liverpool Manchester City was Taylor taps to Liverpool as well,

1170
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: advancing to the semifinals in the Champions But the testimony

1171
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: was going on at the same time, and there was

1172
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: so much stuff happening on tweet deck. But I was like,

1173
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:06,919
Speaker 1: I can't pay attention right now. I have to watch

1174
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 1: the soccer game. I mean, some of the questions there,

1175
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: some of the questions they asked were just unbelievable, Like, bro,

1176
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: come on, man, James, what was your favorite gift or

1177
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: meme of Zuckerberg? It was the it was for me,

1178
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: it was the when who was it? Uh? Not Mitch

1179
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: McConnell orran Hatch orran Hatche had asked Zuckerberg legitimately, how

1180
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: do you guys make money because Facebook is free? That

1181
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: one was great and there was a long pause, like,

1182
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: how do I answer this without making this guy look

1183
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: simp without making this guy look like a complete clown? Uh?

1184
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: Which was not possible because that is as Bryce Harper

1185
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: would say, that's a clown question, Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg answers by saying, um, uh,

1186
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:03,959
Speaker 1: we sell answer yes and then he smiled, and then

1187
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: he quickly lost his smile because I think he realized, like, Okay,

1188
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't smile. I am the ads are the

1189
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: reason I'm here, also exactly, you know, I mean, some

1190
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: of these senators did ask him very you know, pointed

1191
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: and point in questions, which were great, but the orange

1192
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: hatch question was just I mean, that had to have

1193
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: been the low point of that hearing, which was really

1194
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: really funny. But the Markus Zuckerberg gifts that have emerged

1195
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: out of these hearings has been awesome. Some of my

1196
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: other favorites were when awesome Lindsay Graham was grilling him

1197
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: on whether or not Facebook was a monopoly and somebody

1198
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: actually photoshopped the monopoly man hat and mustache on the

1199
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg in his testimony. And then there was the one

1200
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: that Clay bron had found I think you might have

1201
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: put it in their Marcus of data from Star Trek

1202
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: the Next Generation National National Sibling Day, and Zuckerberg looked like, yeah,

1203
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: there was a lot of a lot of Zuckerberg is

1204
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: a is an Android type of chatter? Yes, the tweets,

1205
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: which is which is really fun. Uh And yeah, man,

1206
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 1: it's just it's so funny. Man, some of these games

1207
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,439
Speaker 1: are just unbelievably funny. I just love it. I don't

1208
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: know why, I just do. I just do. Uh, Producer Christina,

1209
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: what do you got? I'm actually double dapping a quiet place.

1210
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: I also saw that this weekend. I wasn't expecting it too.

1211
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: I didn't expect to like it as much because I

1212
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: thought it was like such a different type of movie,

1213
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: like no talking the entire time. But I think they

1214
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: did a really good job. For real, there's no talking.

1215
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: The movie is probably what would you say, like like

1216
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: sign language and they make gestures to each other, and

1217
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean there's sound, but they don't speak very sound

1218
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: design is really cool in that movie too, Like one

1219
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: of the one of their kids is actually deaf as well,

1220
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: and so you get kind of like sometimes things from

1221
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: her perspective in the world as well, and they shift

1222
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: the sound design and it's really really cool. That's cool. Yeah,

1223
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really cool for me, So
