1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey there everybody. It is Wednesday, March nine, two two.

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we've just

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: been traded for a player to be named later. I'm

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: your man named g Marcus Grant alongside Michael f Florio.

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: We've got producer Randy at the controls. He is our

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: new resident packer plan. We haven't had a chance to

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: actually fully introduce Randy yet. Today is going to be

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: the day because I don't know if you heard, but

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: there are some packer news that we're going to get

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: into in this show. Um on the Florida. I will

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: say this, in the past, everything that happened on like

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday would have happened right after we finished taping.

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: So I'm starting to feel good that maybe our luck

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: is turning around right now. Yeah, there would have been

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: no coming back from from yesterday. Like if we recorded

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: and then after Rogers and all that and Wilson and

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: all the other news happened, it would have it would

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: have been awful. So I'm very happy the NFL did

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: all of this, gave us all this news before we

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: recorded this time. Absolutely. You know it's funny too, because

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: I you know, as I was starting to think about

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: this week's show, like on Sunday and Monday. Uh, you know,

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: I had it in my head. I'm like, hey, we'll

24
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: do you know, we'll do a little combine wrap up.

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: We'll do We'll finish our free agency uh talk with

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: the with the running backs at the last you know,

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: major position that we haven't done. Yeah. I'm like, okay, that, Yeah,

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: that's that'll be a pretty good show. I was even

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna mention the fact that that we just passed the

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: three year anniversary of Antonio Brown being a Buffalo bill.

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: For about fifteen minutes, I had a little fun thing

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: all cued up, and then like everything happened in the

33
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: space of like forty eight hours, and so, uh, full disclosure,

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 1: we have We've moved. The A B conversation was fun.

35
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, you and I swarted. We laughed about

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: it on Twitter. Um, I know you're happy with Stefon Diggs.

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: That's worked out pretty well for you. Um. But yeah,

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff happenings. So in fact, let's

39
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: just let's just dive into it, shall We will start

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: with maybe the biggest news of the last couple of days,

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: That is the Denver Broncos swinging a trade with the

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. The obviously the principal names in it. Russell

43
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Wilson is going from Seattle to Denver. Drew Lock is

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: going from Denver to Seattle. There are draft picks going

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: both ways. The Seahawks send a fourth round pick to

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: the Broncos. The Broncos in return sind two first rounders,

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: two second rounders, a fifth rounders. I mentioned Drew Lock,

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Shelby Harris and tightened Noah fans. They are

49
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: all going back to the Pacific Northwest to become Seahawks.

50
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: It was, uh, the thing that sort of burned down

51
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy Twitter and football Twitter in general for most of Tuesday.

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: So I mean, let's let's just kind of dive into this, right. Obviously,

53
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: Russ and and the Seahawks were struggling to come to

54
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: some sort of long term agreement. There was talked for

55
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: a while that maybe Russ wasn't going to be there.

56
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: Then it sort of died down. Then obviously it happens. Uh.

57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: My first question though, is now that he is in

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Denver and we talked about the wide receivers in Denver

59
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: and then just sort of needing a quarterback. So now,

60
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy to the moon, can we can we say this?

61
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: I think so. I yesterday was was a whirlwind. I

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: looked at my phone and I was like, WHOA, I

63
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: have way too many texts right now. And then I

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: saw the Wilson News and my first thought was like,

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: it's finally gonna happen for Jerry Judy. Uh. You knew

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: how bullish I was on him last season. I got

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: to tell Jerry Judy personally when we spoke with him

68
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: at Radio Row that I think he is one of,

69
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: if not the best route runners in the NFL. UM

70
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I just thought like he needed a quarterback upgrade. Two

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: years ago as a rookie, I know he struggled a

72
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: little bit with the drops, but he showed us that

73
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: he had the ability to be a downfield receiver. Then

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: last year that was completely taken away from him. They

75
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: stopped taking as many downfield shots with him. They were

76
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: using him closer to the line of grimmage. And what

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: I hated was he was an afterthought for this offense

78
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: last year in the red zone. I believe he didn't

79
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: finish the season with a single end zone target. He's

80
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: just too good for that to be the case. And

81
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: now though he's gonna go from an offense that was

82
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: built around, you know, the running backs and controlling the clock,

83
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 1: and even the past game had so many dump offs

84
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: to the running backs. Now he's gonna have one of

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: the I think arguably the best deep ball thrower in

86
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: the NFL and easily one of the most efficient touchdown throwers.

87
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is every year Russell

88
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: Wilson is towards the top of the league in touchdown percentage.

89
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: So I think this means good things for his catch totals,

90
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: for his yards total, and his touchdown totals. I think

91
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: he's a wide receiver to for fantasy with wide receiver

92
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: one upside. So I I did a TikTok about the

93
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: winners and losers from this trade, and in the winners,

94
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: I had Jerry Judy, I had a couple other guys

95
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: there we can talk about just a little bit. I

96
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: had a couple people kind of jump in and you know,

97
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: not in a combative way, but just sort of saying, well,

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: what does this mean for Courtland's Some people suggesting that

99
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: maybe Courtland Sutton is more of a winner, thinking that

100
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: the Russ is going to be the guy that's to

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: push the ball downfield, and maybe Judy doesn't see quite

102
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: as many underneath targets. I look at this as one

103
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: I think both of them are very good receivers. I

104
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: think Judy is a slightly better receiver, and Russ is

105
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: very good at getting his primary pass catchers involved. There's

106
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: a reason that both dk Metcalf and Tyler Lockett had

107
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: at times wide receiver one upside because Russ would give

108
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: them both very much involved, even though they were very

109
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: different receivers who did very different things. I also think,

110
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, I mean, if the the Seahawk or

111
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: the Broncos rather feel comfortable now with what they have

112
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: at quarterback, and they should, maybe we see Judy as

113
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: more of a down field threat. Maybe it's not just

114
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: a lot of short stuff dumping it off and letting

115
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: him use as his athletic ability to get down field.

116
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: So I think both of these guys can prosper. But

117
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: because I think Judy is a better receiver, and obviously

118
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: he's a couple of years younger, I think that gives

119
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: him more of the upside. But you know, if if

120
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: you're out there and you're of a mind and draft

121
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton do it. I I know, I think this

122
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: helps him. I think this helps you know, if kJ

123
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: Hamdler can get back on the field, Tim Patrick when

124
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: he's out there. I think this sort of helps all

125
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: those guys uh in there also the other guy that

126
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: that I thought really helps. And I want to get

127
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this. No offense gone Albert Okoya Bunham.

128
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Everybody learned how to say that name, or just call

129
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: him Albert Oh. Fine if you don't want to learn

130
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: the whole name, but but learned that name because I

131
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: feel like with what we saw in Seattle and the

132
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: way Russ used his tight ends there. Um, look, there's

133
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: a reason we kept we kept trying to make will

134
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: dis lee a thing because they kept using their tight ends.

135
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: Albert Oh now with no offense in Seattle, seems like

136
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: he's got some sleeper potential this year. Completely agree. I

137
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people yesterday, uh declaring him

138
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: like a tight end one. I'm not ready to do

139
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: that because it's a little rich. These are these are

140
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: these are bad words to say. Marcus tight end is

141
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper than it has been in recent years.

142
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's super deep and all of a

143
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: sudden you you you could wait on the position or

144
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: anything like that. But it's not like there's only like

145
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: six good options like it was a couple of years ago.

146
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: You know, in the back end of the tight en

147
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: once you've got guys like Dalston Knox and I still

148
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: have Rob Gronkowski in the top twelve in case he

149
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: decides to return. Uh, Dalton Schultz, Dallas got it all

150
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: would still be ahead of him for me. So I

151
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: think he's more of like a high end tight end two,

152
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: but I think he has the upside in the capability

153
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: of finishing as a tight end one in this offense.

154
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't want to pay that price on draft day,

155
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: but I like the idea of pairing him up, like say,

156
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: if you do wait on tight end, Like, I think

157
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: he's a type of guy that you could take as

158
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: your second tight end late in the later rounds because

159
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: of the upside that he brings. We know, maybe it

160
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: was a Seattle thing, but we know Russell Wilson has

161
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: always heavily involved his tight end in the red zone.

162
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: And and as for the receiver's markets, like I think

163
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: both of them could be top twenty uh in this offense,

164
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: kind of like how DK and Lock it has been.

165
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty bullish for this uh Denver offense all around. Yeah.

166
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I mean you know that was the one thing that

167
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: that we all kept saying. I mean not just you

168
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: and I, but I think people across the fantasy landscape

169
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: is that this offense was a quarterback away from really

170
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 1: taking off. So now they've got their guy. And be honest,

171
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson now is not the same quarterback he was

172
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, three or four or five years ago. Um,

173
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: but he's still very good. Uh. And and that can

174
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: be enough to I think, kick start this offense and

175
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: get all those wide receivers that we've been fawning over

176
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: the last few years, get them going and make them

177
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: super fantasy relevant and and make them super productive. Um.

178
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Another guy that potentially benefits. And I saw you tweet

179
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: about this with Russ now in Denver, um and and

180
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,239
Speaker 1: you were sort of looking at their their salary cap situation.

181
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: You mentioned that there may not be enough to keep

182
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: Russ around and also to bring back Melvin Gordon. I

183
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: know we already love Javonte Williams. Are we going to

184
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: Are we going to be talking about having to reach

185
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: into the late first round now to get Javonta Williams

186
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: after this? Yeah, I think if Melvin Gordon signs somewhere else, uh,

187
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: I think Javontay Williams might go in the middle of

188
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: the first round, Like I I I tweeted this and

189
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: I firmly believe it. If there's no Melvin Gordon there,

190
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: I think Javontay Williams is in play where he could

191
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: finish as the overall RB one. I'm not gonna rank

192
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: him as that. I'm not gonna put him ahead of

193
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, Austin Ekeler, or Derrick Henry, but it is

194
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: in the realm of possibilities. In my opinion. The only

195
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: thing I I feel like we're all kind of hoping

196
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: that this happens, myself included, and like Melvin Gordon could

197
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: still return. Uh that. I I keep going back and

198
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: forth on this. Markets I think if he was to

199
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: leave and go elsewhere, because he's a running back who

200
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: I think it would be smart for him to try

201
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: to make as much money as he can while he can.

202
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: But let's say he decides to take a team deal.

203
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Melvin Gordon Russell Wilson did play one year

204
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: in college together. Uh. He apparently loves it in Denver.

205
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: If that happens, I still think Javons Williams is the

206
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: lead back next year, but he is far from a

207
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: first rounder. But I think people will still hype him

208
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: up as one because that's how much hype he's got.

209
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: So for me, a lot is hinging on the decision

210
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: of whatever decision Melvin Gordon makes. So Melvin Gordon will

211
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: be twenty nine uh in about a month um, so

212
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: he hasn't quite hit the dreaded age of thirty uh.

213
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: And you figure, all things considered, he doesn't have that

214
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: much wear and tear on him because you look at

215
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: his career, he has never been a true workhorse back.

216
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: He's always been somewhere where there's another guy, right, I

217
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: mean there was there was Danny Woodhead at first when

218
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: he got to San Diego. Then they moved to l

219
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: A and there was Austin Ekeler, and then he you know,

220
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: he gets to Denver and there's Philip Lindsay and and

221
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: now there's Javonte Williams. He's never been that guy that

222
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: that a team has leaned on his his career high

223
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: in carries four uh with the with the charge, which

224
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: actually coincidentally is his only thousand yard rushing season, which

225
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: also sort of blows my mind. I would have figured

226
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: he had at least another one in there somewhere, but no, Um,

227
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: I think he's going to try and see how much

228
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: money he can get. Unfortunately, we know the the landscape

229
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: for running backs is not great. Um, I wouldn't be

230
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: totally surprised if maybe he does take a team friendly

231
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: deal and comes back to Denver, which you know, we've

232
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: seen how this thing can work, so I don't think

233
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: it's a total, uh, you know, totally a bad thing.

234
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: But it does sort of depress the draft stock for

235
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams. But you know, there's already so much hype

236
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: around Williams. I'm curious to see where he lands, and

237
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: I guess we're not going to totally know that until

238
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: we kind of get through free agency and see what

239
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: happens with Melvin Gordon. But I think this is a

240
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: situation where Russ being here sort of lifts everybody up. Um.

241
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: I think everybody is more excited about this offense because

242
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: they've got, like I said like they got they've got

243
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback, But that means that Seattle doesn't have its

244
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: quarterback at the moment, it is Drew Lock. So I

245
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: guess the first question is do you believe Drew Lock

246
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 1: is going to be the starter? In week? Want to

247
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: do the Seahawks go a different direction? As of right now,

248
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: I feel like we could be looking at a camp

249
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: battle between like Geno Smith and Drew Lock or something

250
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: like that, because every report seems to indicate that Seattle

251
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: is not high enough on any of these quarterbacks to

252
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: use now pick number nine that they just got for

253
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: us on a quarterback. If that's the case, I mean,

254
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: free agency isn't that appealing either, Like if they don't

255
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: get Jamis Winston or Mitchell Chubisky or Marcus Mariota, is

256
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: someone like that, maybe a Teddy like, but even that, Like,

257
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: I think all of those guys outside of Winston would

258
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: likely compete with Drew Lock. I don't think any of

259
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: them would just be handed the job. So, as of

260
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: right now, if you asked me Drew Lock first the

261
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: field on who's the starter, I'm kind of leaning towards

262
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: Drew Lock. Yeah, you might be right. Um, you know,

263
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: I know there was a lot. I know Seahawks Twitter

264
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: was sort of trying to make itself feel better by

265
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: by pivoting to Malik Willis, hoping that, you know, with

266
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: that number nine pick, maybe they go after Willis and

267
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: and pair him up with those those wide receivers there

268
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: and see what happens. Um. I will say this Withdrew

269
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: lock at quarterback. Um, the Seahawks, I don't think they

270
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: compete in the NFC West. Um. You know we we

271
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: we know how good the Rams are. Obviously they're they're

272
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champs. Uh. The Cardinals are still

273
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: a good team regardless of you know, whatever social media

274
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: things going on with Kyler. Although I guess he put

275
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: the cards back on his Instagram now, so it's all

276
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: good now. Um, Kyler and the Cardinals are are Instagram

277
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: pals again. Uh, you know the forty nine is obviously

278
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: we're in the NFC Championship game. Uh. The Seahawks with

279
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: Drew lock are a distant fourth I think in that division. Um,

280
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: so then what does this mean for d k and

281
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett? I mean, right now, I don't think

282
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: their wide receiver ones with with Drew lock are they

283
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: top fifteen, Top twenty wide receivers with Drew Lock, what

284
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: what do you feel about him? So when I I

285
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: did my early top twelve, I had DK just outside

286
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: of it UM, and now he's gonna fall a significant

287
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: more than that Top twelve. I think he'll be like

288
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: borderline top twenty. UM. I'd rather have Jerry Judy. I'll

289
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: tell you that right now. I feel pretty confident in that.

290
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: The thing with DK, though, is I think at the

291
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: end of the year he will be a wide receiver

292
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: to somewhere in that like wide receiver thirteen through twenty

293
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: four range. UM. I I think it's gonna be a

294
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: roller coaster ride to get there because he is so

295
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: talented and Drew Lock, if he's the starter, whoever is

296
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: the starter, they're gonna take shots down field. And the

297
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: thing about Drew Lock is he does have a very

298
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: strong arm, So I would expect a lot of overthrows,

299
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: but a lot of shots downfield to d K, and

300
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: DK is good enough where he'll win some of those battles.

301
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: He'll have the long touchdowns, so I think it'll be

302
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: one of those things. At the end of the year.

303
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: He's a wide receiver too. But if you have him,

304
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a very up and down ride

305
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: all year long. And then with Tyler Lockett, I'm more

306
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: worried about Lockett than d K because d K is

307
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: just like a physical freak, right like Tyler Lockett relied

308
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: on route running and precision and timing. And I for

309
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: years have said, I don't think there's a more efficient

310
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: combination in the NFL than than Russell Wilson to Tyler Lockett.

311
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean one year he they had a perfect passer

312
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: rating when targeting Tyler Lockett like that, you just don't

313
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: see that happening. So I think he takes the uh,

314
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: the biggest value hit, and I would value him more

315
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver three that I think will be

316
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: boom or bust than anything else. And Marcus him selfishly

317
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: kind of hoping that Seattle just completely blows it up

318
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: and trades these two. I mean, well that's the talk

319
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: at least with Locket, is that you know, maybe the

320
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: Seahawks aren't done dealing UH and they they figure out,

321
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, some partner that they can trade Tyler Lockett to,

322
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: which I know for for Seahawks fans, maybe it's sort

323
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: of a I don't know. I you know, I've seen

324
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: some Seahawks fan who were like you, just like, let's

325
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: just blow it up. Let's just tear this thing down

326
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: to the studs and let's just rebuild it, because the

327
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: worst thing to do is end up in NFL purgatory

328
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: where you you know, you missed the playoffs, but you

329
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: also you don't have a high draft pick, or worse,

330
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: you somehow squeak into the playoffs losing the first round

331
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: and still don't have a high draft pick. So maybe

332
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: it is in in the team's best interest, and I

333
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: think for fantasy maybe it is uh in Lockett's best

334
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: interest to to not be there anymore. But I'm sort

335
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: of with you the d K. I think I can

336
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: find a way to at least be semi productive. I'm

337
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: not sure what happens, uh with with Drew lock and

338
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett if that thing is gonna work out so well,

339
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: so maybe it is for for everybody's best interest to

340
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: to sort of move on here. Um, yeah, this was

341
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: a lot. Still I'm still sort of processing what all

342
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: this means, uh from a football standpoint, And I'm not

343
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: the first person to say this. The Broncos kind of

344
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: went all in on this, right Like if this doesn't work, Um,

345
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: people are gonna get fired. Like I said, say, if

346
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: this doesn't work, the amount of assets that Denver has

347
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: given up. Uh, if this doesn't work, people get fired.

348
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know as you look at this, this

349
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: is this super Bowl or bus? Is this a f

350
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: C championship? What constitutes success do you think with with

351
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: this Russell Wilson deal? Uh? See? For me, I view

352
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: it a little different. Like I I don't like to

353
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: and in a conference has stacked as the a f C.

354
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: I think it's impossible to say super bowler bus because

355
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: there's like six teams that are probably saying that coming

356
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: into to this season. I think if if Denver over

357
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: the next you know four or five years are in

358
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: it every single year and they're competitive, and Russell Wilson,

359
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't like fall off a cliff and they're

360
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl pay sure every year, I think

361
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: you could say it was a success. I know a

362
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: lot of people say a ring or bus or it

363
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: doesn't work out. For me, I think it's harder to

364
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: have sustained success in sports, and that is ultimately what

365
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 1: you you strive for because once you get there, anything

366
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: could happen. So I think they obviously the hope is

367
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: that this leads to a Super Bowl for everyone involved.

368
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: But I like, I would much rather be the Denver

369
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 1: Broncos in the Seattle Seahawks right now. Like I think this.

370
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: I might be in the minority here, but I feel

371
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 1: like the Broncos kind of won this trade because for

372
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: we were gonna just continue to say they're wasting their

373
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: window if they don't upgrade the quarterback position. We've seen

374
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: teams do this recently and it's worked out. Maybe it does,

375
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't with them, but I I think we

376
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: I'd always rather my team go for it than just

377
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: kind of sit there in football purgatory. Like you said, No,

378
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I mean, I definitely think the Broncos,

379
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: at least as we sit here, you know, on this Wednesday, Um,

380
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: they got the better into this because they are in

381
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: position right now to go chase some success on the field. Um.

382
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I look, I'll say this, uh anecdotally, right

383
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: the last two Super Bowl champions went out, it made

384
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: a big move for a quarterback before the season started.

385
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: Two years ago, it was the Bucks bringing in Tom

386
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: Brady um. Last year it was the Rams making a

387
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: deal from Matthew Stafford. Both those teams go on to

388
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. I'm not saying that the Broncos

389
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: are going to go and win the Super Bowl, but

390
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: they are trying to follow that blueprint of of going

391
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: all in and and you know, sacrificing draft picks and

392
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: getting their quarterback um and seeing if they can use

393
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: that to kind of get themselves over the humph. I

394
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: will say tho, as you mentioned the a f C

395
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: loaded loaded at quarterback, loaded with good teams. I mean

396
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: they still got to figure out how to get over

397
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, maybe the Chargers, certainly, the Bills, certainly the Bengals,

398
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: all sitting right there, you know, waiting for another Super

399
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: Bowl opportunity. So the Broncos will have their work cut

400
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: out for him, no doubt. UM. So with Russ out

401
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: of the NFC, uh, you know, that does sort of

402
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: thin the herd a little bit. But one guy is

403
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: coming back, and it's Aaron Rodgers. I guess first, first thing,

404
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he signs a four year, two hundred million

405
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: dollar contract extension, which is a hell of a way

406
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: to get canceled. I need to be canceled like that. Um,

407
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: I'll get canceled for that much. Seriously, absolutely, Uh, were

408
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: you surprised? I guess first question, were you surprised? Does

409
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers come back to Green Bay? Um? I

410
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: think if you asked me, like right, and we can

411
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: go back on this podcast. Right after they got eliminated

412
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: against the Niners and the playoffs, I was like, yeah,

413
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: this might be the end. But the more that time

414
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: kind of went on, it felt more and more like

415
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: he was gonna end up back in Green Bay, especially

416
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: since the other team that we were hearing was the

417
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos as good as the Rosters. I think Denver

418
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: has I think you look at the paths to a

419
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, it's clearly much easier for the Packers in

420
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: the NFC. Yeah. UM, I don't know. Maybe basically because

421
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers seems to love courting drama nowadays and letting

422
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: us think that he's going to do other things that

423
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: he's not. Um, it did seem like after a while

424
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: this was the only logical conclusion that somehow he was

425
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: going to come back to Green Bay. I know he was.

426
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: He was angry that his thunder got stolen from him.

427
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: He was angry that because because after the look, the

428
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: announcement happened about his deal, then the Russell Wilson trade happened,

429
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: and then you see Aaron Rodgers tweeting about how, hey,

430
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, by the way, this isn't completely accurate and

431
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: I haven't really signed. Like, okay, bro, sit down, dude,

432
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: you you've had enough attention the last two years. Your

433
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: moment has passed. Uh, this is somebody else. We're talking

434
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: about somebody else right now. Okay. But now that he's back,

435
00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: Uh QB what five? Six? Higher? Lower? Where where do

436
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: you have him? So? When I did my early quarterback

437
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: rankings about two weeks ago, I landed with him at

438
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: QB seven, but I might move him up a bit

439
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen justin, Herbert Patrick Mahomes. Uh those are

440
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: locked in? Is my top three? I I still have

441
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray ahead of him at four, but then I

442
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: had Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow just ahead of him.

443
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think I might already put Rogers ahead

444
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: of Burrow because that was my biggest concern with Rogers,

445
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: was like if he changes teams or something like that.

446
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: But also the thing about Aaron Rodgers is he doesn't

447
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: run it all anymore. In the last two years, he's

448
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: been uber efficient when it comes to throwing touchdowns. So

449
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: even if his touchdown percent was to regress closer to

450
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: his career norm, he can't really make up for in

451
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: other aspects like the other quarterbacks. Ken that's the only

452
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: reason I have him behind them. But I think anywhere

453
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: for me from five to seven is the right spot

454
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. I think that's about right. Um. You know,

455
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, he always has the potential to end as

456
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: the QB one, but I don't think I don't think

457
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: he has the overall uh upside to draft him as

458
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: the QB one. I mean, I still think that's gonna

459
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: be Josh Allen when it's all said and done. But

460
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: I think if you are able to get him as

461
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: as the fifth or sixth quarterback off the board, somewhere

462
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: in the what fifth round, sixth round probably is where

463
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. Um, I think that's a safe spot

464
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: to get him, knowing that you're gonna, you know, unless

465
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: something drastic happens, you're gonna get some good production out

466
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: of him year after year. Uh So, then this means

467
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: not not long after rogers uh announcement was made, the

468
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: announcement came that the Packers were franchise tagging Davante Adams,

469
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: which is maybe the least surprising thing that's going to

470
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: happen in this entire free agent period. Uh So, now

471
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: that he's back, now that Rogers is back, and they're

472
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: gonna have the last last dance again, the last time

473
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: for one more go around. Um, we're gonna get a

474
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: twenty part documentary, is what it's gonna be. Yeah, it's

475
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be insufferable. Um is the to

476
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: say still the wide receiver one in drafts? Now? I

477
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: have him as the wide receiver too, behind just Cooper Cup.

478
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: But really I think it's a one A, one B situation.

479
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: Like if anyone was like, hey, Devontae Adams is my

480
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver one, I wouldn't blink an eye. If anyone

481
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: said Cooper Cup is there's I I wouldn't blink and eye. Like,

482
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: the only reason I'm giving this light edge to Cooper

483
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: Cup is he finished nearly a hundred points higher uh

484
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: than Devontay Adams did this past year. But Davontae Adams

485
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: has lapped the field, uh in previous years. So for me,

486
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: I think those two are are the clear top two

487
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: receivers who I think you could consider taking as as

488
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: early as the first overall pick. Not saying I would,

489
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: but I think they're in play there this year. Um

490
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, so I expect both cup And and Adams

491
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: to go in like the first half of first round drafts.

492
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: I think these guys are gonna go really early. And

493
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: you're right, whichever one you take, you're gonna be fine.

494
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: There's there's a it's a no lose situation for you there,

495
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: regardless of which of these wide receivers you take. I

496
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: do want to get the thoughts of our resident Packer

497
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: fan though Randy are by the way, shout out to Justin,

498
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: who did a great job on this show. They have

499
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: moved them on to other things we we don't rate

500
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: quietly as quite as highly I think as Rachel Bonetta

501
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: who no shade love Rachel. She's great. Uh So Justin's

502
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: over there doing big things. We have Randy. We're excited

503
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: about Randy. Welcome to the show man you are you

504
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: are are resident Packer fans, So I want to get

505
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts. I mean, when you heard, How did you feel?

506
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: How are you feeling now about twenty four hours later?

507
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: What what are the thoughts you have to speak now

508
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: for all of Packer nation about how they feel about

509
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers coming back? Right? Yeah, I mean, like to

510
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: be a Packer fan, you have to be optimistic and

511
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: so I mean that's just kind of a part of

512
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: being a fan, you know. So when he got that extension,

513
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, the the general consensus, we're happy, We're we're

514
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: good for him. He deserves it, you know, right, I mean,

515
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: like he's been playing lights out, he deserves the extension.

516
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: But then once you know, all the dust sort of

517
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: settles you, you kind of think about it, and it's like, okay, well,

518
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: this also means that we might be losing some other assets.

519
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: You know. It's like the defense is losing a couple

520
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: of people, and then also we're losing some receivers. But

521
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: like you know, so you even mentioned yourself about some

522
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: of these other qbs that are going to these good

523
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: teams in these past few Super Bowl champions, like Wilson's

524
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: going to a team that's already pretty well established, whereas

525
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: the Packers seem to be losing more people like We're

526
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: probably gonna lose Lazard, We're probably gonna lose vout of Scantling.

527
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: And it's just and and so like when it comes

528
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: to the Packers, it's like it's not even about adding

529
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: someone adding some better players, it's it's adding people who

530
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: are going to mesh with Rogers. Like the reason why

531
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: Adams is so great on our team is because him

532
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: and Rodgers have a chemistry and you can see throughout

533
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: the season that some of these receivers sort of built

534
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: this relationship with him and he feels like he almost

535
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: trusts them. But then it's like, okay, well we're losing

536
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: half of the guys that he has a relationship with.

537
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: That means we're bringing you guys in and we're then

538
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: they have to create a relationship, and then we have

539
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: to like you know, start Alost from the ground up.

540
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: So on one account, I'm happy because he's he's an

541
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: awesome quarterback and even though he does have some drama

542
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: with it, But I'm also being a little bit more

543
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: realistic here because it's like, well, by resigning him, we

544
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: might also be taking a step back because, like you mentioned,

545
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: the NFC is not that stack, it's him. And then

546
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray for the first half of the season, maybe

547
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: Stafford and then Prescott if the Cowboys don't employe on themselves,

548
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: but then the you know, so it's who knows. I'm excited,

549
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm happy, but at the same time, it's like I'm

550
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: trying to be really realistic with myself because every year

551
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: is the same thing where it's like, this is the

552
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: year we're gonna get it this year, We're gonna figure

553
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: it out this year, and then every year it ends

554
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: up with us doing some catastrophic meltdown. So but I mean,

555
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: so that was the thing I thought about too. Right,

556
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: Obviously I understand the excitement, right, you have Yuhy, who

557
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: is who is arguably the best quarterback in the league.

558
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: He's coming back to your team for four more years,

559
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: you know. But also ostensibly, as you mentioned, like nothing

560
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: has nothing else around it has improved. This is the

561
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: same team essentially that you know that that basically lost

562
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: in the first rounds, a one seed that seems to

563
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: get to the NFC Championship game and stu of its toe.

564
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: But as you mentioned, they may not be able to

565
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: keep all the same pieces around. So for all the

566
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: excitement of having Aaron Rodgers. I do wonder when, you know,

567
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: when when the hangover hits? Right? When when when the

568
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: fun of being drunk of this this contract wears off? Uh?

569
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: Do Packer fans look around and be like, maybe maybe

570
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: we sacrifice too much? I'm just wondering, yeah, because you

571
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: know we're losing Douglas. We're soill, Douglass more most likely gone.

572
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm being realistic here. I don't think we're bringing back

573
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: any of the Smiths on the defense. See, Lowry may

574
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: be on his way out, you know, Uh, andrean Amos

575
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: might you might have to make a decision there. And

576
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: then on the the offensive side with running, you know,

577
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: running might be gone too. And he's fresh off in

578
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: a c L injury anyways, So regardless of whether he

579
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: comes back or not, his season, his first season back

580
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: might be a little you know, might be a little

581
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: choppy because he's coming back from such a big injury.

582
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: So you can't help a good question, and what are yourselves?

583
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: Are we actually going to be good or are we

584
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: just going to be like NFC good because it seems

585
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: like is way more stacked, way more competitive, way harder

586
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: to win in I just don't want to have this

587
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: thing all year where we've convinced ourselves that we're super good,

588
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: we're the best, and all it ends up being is

589
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: that we're just we're just NFC good. We're not a

590
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: f C good from what it seems like. So, um,

591
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: if you guys don't make it to the Super Bowl

592
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: this year, I mean, it's all on Aaron Rodgers at

593
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: this Yeah, I agree a thousand percent. And I feel

594
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: so bad for Jordan's love because it seemed like a

595
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 1: lot of fans for a second have kind of like

596
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: shifted their focus. They're like, Okay, it's JL season, We're ready,

597
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: let's do it, you know, And then Aaron Rodgers resigns,

598
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: and so we're we're you know, we're excited, but at

599
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: the same time, we're still a little confused because we're

600
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: losing so many other key parts of our offense, and

601
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: now with Russell Wilson leaving and going to the Broncos,

602
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: it's like this is this seems like literally it seems

603
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: like the same recipe of the last two Super Bowl champions,

604
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: in which a quarterback who a lot of people thought

605
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: was washed up and then have you know, there is

606
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: no potential for them to ever win go was to

607
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: a team that literally all they needed was that last

608
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: key piece being a quarterback, and then takes into the

609
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: Promised Land. And that's what it honestly feels like, if

610
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm being completely rare with you, it feels like Russell

611
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: Wilson is that final piece for the Broncos because the

612
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: Broncos were already a well established team. And as we mentioned,

613
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: like with the Packers, it's like, yeah, Rogers is great,

614
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, resigning Adams is fantastic, but we're also gonna

615
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: be losing so many different parts and it seems like

616
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to rely on bargain bin free agents

617
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: and fingers crossed we draft some pretty decent players, you know.

618
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: So again I'm excited, but I'm trying my best to

619
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: be realistic and not get my hopes up too much. Well,

620
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me of when in the NBA

621
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: when like the East was Lebron and no one else

622
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: and it was like, all right, well, he's gonna be

623
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: in there, like like this is it if the Packers

624
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: aren't in the Super Bowl this year, and it's and

625
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: it's a perfect example of Lebron because Lebron not to

626
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: talk too much about basketball, but Lebron would essentially control

627
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: the team and the moves they would make, and whenever

628
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: Lebron would leave, he would essentially leave that team in shambles.

629
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: And so now you of the Packers who are losing

630
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: these guys, and it's like, okay, well, once Rogers leaves,

631
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: what shape are we going to be in? Because we've

632
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: already paid a lot to uh to you know, um,

633
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, davantadem is getting a big pay day, and

634
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: then you know, on the defensive side, you've got Gavery Alexander,

635
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: and you've got a couple other guys who are probably

636
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna make some good money. And you know, we're gonna

637
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: probably try to resign Campbell because Campbell was a great signing.

638
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, he's just it's okay, I'm

639
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: gonna let you go back because it seems like you

640
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: have talked yourself into a mild depression at this point.

641
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: That's the part of being a Packers fan, though. It's

642
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: like it's like you get really excited and then like

643
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: halfway through what like so you know, as a Packer fan,

644
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: you start talking about all the good things and then

645
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: halfway through talking all the good things you realize wait

646
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: a second, there actually are some bad things in this.

647
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: In the middle of it, you kind of had like

648
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: almost like an existential crisis of like, Okay, well, yeah,

649
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: we just got the best quarterback back, but at what costs?

650
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: And are we ever gonna win a Super Bowl? I

651
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: don't know, so exact realistic. I'm sorry to have hastened

652
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: your your Rogers hangover. I apologize y for that, but

653
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate your insight though. Thanks Guy oh Man. All right,

654
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: so there you know, that's the that's the whole Aaron

655
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: Rodgers thing in a very large nutshell. Um, there are

656
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: other news headlines that actually having the last couple of days,

657
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: Chargers signed Mike Williams three years, sixty million dollars, so

658
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: he is not going to hit free agency. Um. I mean,

659
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: not much to say about that, though I know you

660
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: like Mike Williams. I know he's been sort of up

661
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: and down, but he stays in in Los Angeles with

662
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and that seems like a pretty good thing

663
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, wide receiver too. And I think what

664
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: the Charges that here is genius because they had a

665
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: bunch of cap and and Justin Herbert's on his rookie contract.

666
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: They frontloaded that deal so much that he's making like

667
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: half his money in year one, which I just think

668
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: it's genius. Yeah, no, absolutely there. Look, I admit to

669
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 1: not being a salary cap genius. There are people out

670
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: there who are good at it, and that's that's why

671
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: they work in NFL front offices, and that's why we

672
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: sit here and do a podcast about fake football. Um uh,

673
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: since we're talking about signing some about some franchise tag

674
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: news they hit Chris Godwin got hit with the franchise

675
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: tag and Tampa Dalton Schultz in Dallas. Mike GASICKI uh

676
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: is not going to be leaving Miami. David and Joku

677
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: is staying in Cleveland, which sort of leads me to

678
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: believe that maybe Austin Hooper. I don't know what's gonna

679
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: happen with him because they don't have a really easy

680
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: out unless they're gonna try to trade him or something.

681
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure. Um, any of these guys get

682
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: you really excited for next year? I mean, like, is

683
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: David and Joku finally the post type breakout guy that

684
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: we've been waiting on? Anything here that really stands out

685
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: to you, uh. What what stands out to me the

686
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: most is Dalton Schultz. I have him as my tight

687
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: end six in my early rankings after the elite like

688
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: Big five. UM. I think with the reports that they're

689
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: gonna move on from Amari Cooper, with the fact that

690
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: we're hearing that they're gonna bring back Michael Gallup, but

691
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: who knows if he's gonna be ready to start the year,

692
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: and and if and when he returns, who knows how

693
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: long it's going to take him to get to a

694
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I think Dalton Schultz will be the number

695
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: two target for the Cowboys. I also really like, uh

696
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: the Mike Gasecki signing. He's been a big supporter of

697
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: to UH. I'm excited to see what Mike McDaniels uses

698
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: with his talent. I like in Joeku, But like you said,

699
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: Hooper's there, and sadly Godwin seems like someone I'm going

700
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: to be out on next year. QB downgrade towards a

701
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: CIL late in the year. A lot of concern there,

702
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: But I feel like because he's Chris Godwin, people are

703
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: still gonna take him pretty early. So much of Godwin

704
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: to me really depends on who the quarterback is going

705
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: to be. And I mean to this point, I don't

706
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: think we've had any real glimpses into what the Bucks

707
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: are going to do. Um. You know you mentioned free

708
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: agency is you know has sort of already dried up

709
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. Um. I mean unless they make

710
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: a run at Trubisky, but I haven't heard their name attached.

711
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: Which side note, Mike Mitchell Trubisky is gonna get the

712
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: bag from somebody. I heard nothing but but hype about

713
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky for the last two weeks. He is going

714
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: to get the bag from somebody, and he's going to

715
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: be a starter. Um, and I still think he's just

716
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: gonna be kind of mid. I don't know. Last year

717
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: he got two and a half million. Last year, no

718
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: one wanted him, and now people are are going to

719
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: be fighting over this guy. And he did nothing to change,

720
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: Like he didn't at all. Nothing happened, But for whatever reason,

721
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: people are big, they're back on the Trabisky bandwagon. So

722
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: uh go figure, I do like the sicky. I'm just

723
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna be very interested in this Dolphins

724
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: offense this year. With Michael Daniel there Um, you know

725
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: they've he's already hyped up Jalen Waddle. He seems to

726
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: be a great interviewer. I mean, he's just he seems

727
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: to be funny in press conferences. So, um you know that.

728
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: I know that doesn't even translate the fantasy points, but

729
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: at least keeps me interested. Uh, it makes me want

730
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: to learn more about what this Dolphins team is gonna be.

731
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: So I think the sicky has some potential in Schultz,

732
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: I think he has. If he's not quite in the

733
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: upper tier of tight ends, he's pretty close to it.

734
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I'm curiously how that the Cowboys

735
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: offense works. Um. Last piece of news, and this is

736
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: the one that happened early in the week that has

737
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: since been kind of overshadowed because of everything that happened

738
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Calvin Ridley sus ended through at least the

739
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 1: two season for betting on NFL games. Now, according to reports,

740
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: the bets were placed he was not with the team,

741
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: he was not active. This is after he had taken

742
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: his leave uh two to work on his mental health issues.

743
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: But uh, he did put he did put down some

744
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: bets on NFL games, which is completely verboten. Uh. And look,

745
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: this is the guy who had missed pretty much all

746
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: of last year and now I was going to miss

747
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: all of next year. Um. I guess that's the simple question,

748
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: is what is his future? Like, I don't think he's

749
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: done in the NFL, but right now, Uh, it just

750
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: seems very cloudy about what could be for Calvin Ridley. Yeah,

751
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's very murky at best. If you asked

752
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: me like a year or two ago, I was like,

753
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: this guy is on the trajectory too. I don't know

754
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: if Hall of Fame receiver, but like one of the

755
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: better receivers in the NFL. I would view him as.

756
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: And last year was was just the last year for him,

757
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: and now he's gonna lose this year his age twenty

758
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: eight years season. He came into the league a little

759
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: bit older as well, which means that even when he returns,

760
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: his window to to get paid and to you know,

761
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: really be a high end receiver is gonna be much shorter.

762
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: So I do think we see him back in the NFL.

763
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: I don't think we ever see him play a game

764
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: with the Falcons again. I already thought he was going

765
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: to be moving like literally an hour before he got suspended,

766
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: I tweeted that outside of Davantae Adams, I would put

767
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley there with any of the receivers that could

768
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: be on the move this offseason, and I was going

769
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: to draft him a bunch of fantasy so I was

770
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: very excited for him. Uh. And now for the Falcons markets,

771
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they have to get another receiver, whether it

772
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: being free agency or the draft. Like you, you need

773
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: to get Kyle Pitts some help. But I think how

774
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: Pitts is their wide receiver one? He kind of is um.

775
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: But I do think they go out and get somebody else.

776
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they've got some nice, complimentary pieces,

777
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: but nobody that I think can really step up and

778
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: fill that void. Uh. For Ridley, I think they need

779
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: to do it. They need to do it for Kyle

780
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: Pitts in order to help him. They need to do

781
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: it for Matt Ryan or whoever their quarterback is going

782
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: to be. I mean, you know, Ryan has been a

783
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: good quarterback for a long time, but obviously he's gonna

784
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: be thirty seven next year. He is nearing nearing the

785
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: end of his career. He's going to need help. So

786
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: I think whoever. You know, whatever they do, they've got

787
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: to find somebody who can sort of fill in the

788
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: gap there, uh for for Calvin Ridley now that he's

789
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: gone the other part of the story. And I know that,

790
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: you know, when it hit there's obviously a lot of

791
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: chatter on Twitter about it, on social media in general,

792
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people were saying one like,

793
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: what's the big deal? He wasn't he wasn't with the team. Uh,

794
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, I think, I think, Um, you cannot

795
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: cannot have players gambling on their own sport. There's just

796
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: no way, even if even if he was betting on

797
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: other teams, Uh, even if he wasn't doing anything with

798
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: the Falcons. The the urrants that you have players who

799
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: do have some knowledge of the game, of game plans,

800
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: who have connections with other players within the league. That

801
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: is something that cannot happen. Um. I know it's easy

802
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: to sort of pick on the NFL for its stance

803
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: on gambling, the fact that the league was very hands

804
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: off about it a couple of years ago, and I mean, Mike,

805
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: let's be honest, when the NFL decided they could make

806
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: uh pretty penny off of it and you know, has

807
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: been a lot cozier to gambling. I know, people who

808
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: watch our shows, who watch the network, who watch football

809
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: in general, you know, you can't watch sports without seeing

810
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: a gambling adh. We do. We do segments that are

811
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: sponsored by Draft Kings. Um, we are very much tied

812
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: into it. Uh. There is room to criticize the NFL

813
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 1: for that. This is not that, This is very very different.

814
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: I will say, if there's a parallel, it's you know,

815
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: the the allegations that you have owners who are maybe

816
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: paying coaches to lose games. That I think is on

817
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: par and I think that is very much up for criticism. Um.

818
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: And we'll see whether or not. You know, I know

819
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: there's a lawsuit with Brian Flores against the Dolphins. We'll

820
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: see what becomes that. I think that's closer to the

821
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: whole Calvin Ridley thing. But um, in terms of players

822
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: gambling on their own sport, that to me is just

823
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: that seems like an easy red line, like you know,

824
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: you cannot cannot, cannot do that. And I don't know

825
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: about you. I'm actually okay where they won year suspension

826
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: for Calvin Ridley at this point, I'm I'm okay with it.

827
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm also okay with it if they dialed it back

828
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: a little bit, like half a year or something like that,

829
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: but I I like they had to. It's one of

830
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: those things where like you have to come down hard

831
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: the first time it happens, I think, to prevent it

832
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: from happening again and again and again. Um. The only

833
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: good thing I thought that came because this was awful

834
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: all around, was we did get some entertainment by watching

835
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley legitimately try to tweet through tweet through it. Man. Yeah,

836
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: somebody's gotta somebody should have taken his phone away from it.

837
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: But it was I will say that too. For the

838
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: I know, people feel like you're not the only one

839
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: who says maybe a year was a lot. I immediately

840
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: thought in my head and I went to google this

841
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: just to make sure I was right. Uh. Paul Horning

842
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: back in the mid sixties, Uh, lion or running back

843
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers um one of the biggest

844
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: stars in the NFL at the time. He and Alex Harris,

845
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: who was alignment for the Detroit Lions, who, by the way,

846
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: people of my generation probably know Alex Carris Moore is

847
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: either Mongo from Blazing Saddles or George Papadopoulos from the

848
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: sitcom Webster. But they both got suspended for I think

849
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,959
Speaker 1: eleven months because they were found guilty of betting on games.

850
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: So there is precedent for something like this. Um, and

851
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: like I said, if it, if it can happen to

852
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: a guy who was as big as Paul Horning was

853
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: at the time, Um, Calvin Ridley probably isn't gonna escape

854
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: anything like that. So UM, all right, that was a

855
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: hefty block. Uh. I need to take a break because

856
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: I need to just like breathe for a second, and

857
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 1: then uh, you can listen to you know, some ads.

858
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: Probably there may even be one for draft kings in here.

859
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Uh, we'll take a break of

860
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: back with more on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Okay,

861
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: So I had planned to do a quick combine wrap

862
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: up and talk about some running back free agency fits.

863
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: Let's do that. We're you know, about forty minutes or

864
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: so into this podcast, if we haven't even gotten to

865
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: the thing that I had planned to talk about. So

866
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: appreciate you all hanging in here. This was always going

867
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: to be a beast of a show with all the

868
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: news that happened on Monday and Tuesday, So now here

869
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: we go combine. Uh my take away from this that

870
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: everybody is really fast. Um, Like, there were a ton

871
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: of forties that were incredibly fast. I think as a group,

872
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: I think the wide receivers, I think the running backs. Uh,

873
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: let me look at the running backs, wide receivers, offensive line,

874
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:51,479
Speaker 1: defensive line, linebackers, and defensive backs were the fastest groups ever, which,

875
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: as I'm looking at this, pretty much encombs to everybody

876
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: except like the quarterbacks. Apparently quarterbacks didn't get faster, but

877
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: literally every other position on the field did, which good

878
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: luck quarter backs. And then I guess if everybody's trying

879
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: to chase you down, Um, everybody was really fast. You

880
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: had groups position groups that didn't do certain drills. I

881
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 1: think the wide receivers mostly didn't do the three cone.

882
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: I think the running backs in total didn't do the

883
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: three cone. Did we learn anything from this combine? This

884
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: year's combine? Do you think? I don't think we learned

885
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: a whole lot. I think we we had some priors.

886
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: I think maybe confirmed like we learned that Briest Hall,

887
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: I would say, is the number one running back in

888
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: this class, and I don't really think it's that close.

889
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: I think we learned that like Traylon Burke's Garrett Wilson, Uh,

890
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: I know London Drake didn't participate in all, leave it,

891
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: but we learned that, like those high end receivers that

892
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: we've been talking up for a couple of months now,

893
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: they're all going to be the first receivers off the board.

894
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: I think one of the bigger winners too, of the

895
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: combine was someone who really didn't fully participate, and it

896
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: was Malik Willis. Like he looked good throwing the ball.

897
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: I know he didn't run at all. I mean, I'm

898
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: waiting for his pro day to see if he participates there. Um.

899
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: But like every report from since the Senior Bowl, every

900
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: report that has come out about Malik Willis is how

901
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: impressive he is as a young man and and how

902
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: well he knows the offense and how strong of a

903
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: grasp teams feel like he would have on a new offense.

904
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: So and then we see him doing off the field

905
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: like good, like just humanitari acts like so to me,

906
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: it was already the big name players. I think a

907
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 1: lot of them just kind of cemented themselves as like, hey,

908
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: we are going to be the first ones that our

909
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: position taking. Yeah, that's kind of how I felt. Um,

910
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think the biggest video to

911
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: come out of the combine was when you mentioned Mileek

912
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: willis outside of Lucas Oil Stadium just helping someone out

913
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: on a street corner. Um, you know, and and somebody

914
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, willis not knowing it, you know, he was

915
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: being recorded watching you people watching him help somebody out. Um.

916
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: That was that kind of the most striking video about

917
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: the combine. I I I I just wonder, and I

918
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: don't have an answer to this, but I do wonder

919
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: if the league putting it in prime time and knowing that,

920
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: you know, for a lot of the athletes, it makes

921
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: your day longer. So you have, you know, you show, um,

922
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: maybe you bench press, and maybe you do interviews, and

923
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: then you have a weight and then you run and

924
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: then you wait and then you do drills. I wonder

925
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,919
Speaker 1: whether or not that has you know, had a lot

926
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: of the athletes that kind of pass on doing some

927
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: of the drills. Whether it is just that guys feel

928
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: more comfortable doing stuff at their own pro days. Um,

929
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: the combine has always been sort of I think an

930
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: abstract thing, and I think it is something that that

931
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: either confirms a lot of priors or uh, you know,

932
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: really enforces a lot of biases. But I do feel

933
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: like this year, um, maybe it just wasn't as uh

934
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: cut and dry as it has been in past years. Um,

935
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, we'll we'll have to talks more

936
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: dynasty stuff. Uh, you know, still want to get our

937
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: palmat okata on and some other folks out there that

938
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: are in the dynasty space kind of get their thoughts

939
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: on it and what they thought about some of these guys.

940
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: And we'll definitely do that as we go along. We

941
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: still got what six eight weeks until the draft, so

942
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: we'll we'll certainly dive into that before too long. Have

943
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: you started putting together rookie rankings at all yet? I

944
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: I admit that I have not yet. I'm going to

945
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: do that very soon. Have you Have you done that? No?

946
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm still in the process of of you know, because

947
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: all year long we're so involved in the the NFL world,

948
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: it's hard to to learn all about the college players.

949
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: So it's really after the Super Bowl that I start

950
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: to really dive in. So I've I kind of know

951
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: how I'm going to rank the high end guys, it's

952
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: now the lower people in the class that I have

953
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: to start diving deeper into. And also I think with

954
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: a lot of those players, landing spot greatly matters, because

955
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: I love the Monross st Brown last year solely because

956
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: he landed. I liked his talent, but then I liked

957
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: his landing spot a lot to like. Tyler Johnson is

958
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: always the example we used. We all liked the talent, right,

959
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: but then he landed in a spot where he wasn't

960
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: gonna get playing time for two years. Yeah, exactly. So

961
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm curious, especially the running backs to because uh, there's

962
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: a lot of serious talk that we may not see

963
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: a running back drafted um in round one. Even when

964
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: you go through mock drafts, not a lot of fantasy

965
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: relevant players coming off the board in mock drafts. In

966
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: the first round. You get a handful of wide receivers,

967
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: you get a couple of quarterbacks. But this may not

968
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: be a fantasy heavy NFL draft this year, So be

969
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: curious to see where these rookies go. It makes me

970
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: think that we could see rookies over value this year

971
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: because of how good like last year's class was way

972
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: better than this year's at every fantasy position. I would argue,

973
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: so like we might see rookies over value this year

974
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: just because people want this year's Jamaar Chase or Kyle

975
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: Pitts or something like that, and it's like those guys

976
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: don't exist. No, I'm you know, Kayle Pitts. There's a

977
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: reason we kept calling him the unicorn, right, These dudes

978
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: don't come around very often. If we saw unicorns all

979
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: the time, they wouldn't be special. So, um, all right,

980
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: we were talking fantasy free agency fits because that starts

981
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: actually a week from today is the official beginning of

982
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: the new league year. Now. I think the llegal tampering

983
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: period begins on Monday, so that's when we'll start to

984
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 1: know about a lot of these deals. But things can't

985
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 1: officially be signed until Wednesday, which, by the way, also

986
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: applies to the Russell Wilson trade. It cannot be official

987
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: until Wednesday. Plus Wilson has to actually officially lift his

988
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: no trade clause. These all seen like formalities. It's probably

989
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: going to happen. Um. But when we talked about that

990
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 1: trade with the Broncos, we did talk about Melvin Gordon

991
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: and what's going to happen with him. He is technically

992
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: headed toward free agency. We speculated maybe he takes a

993
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: better deal to maybe come back, or better deal for

994
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: the team to come back to Denver maybe, Or do

995
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: you think he chases a bag and tries to go

996
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 1: somewhere where he can finally be a true number one

997
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: running back. I can't. I still think Denver is in

998
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: play for him, but I don't think they'll offer him

999
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: as much money as maybe some other teams will. I

1000
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: keep thinking Seattle for some reason, like I want to

1001
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: see Rashot Penny get an opportunity, but they already have

1002
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,959
Speaker 1: Carson on contract, they have Penny who they could bring back.

1003
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: Both of those guys have missed so much time due

1004
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: to injury. I think you pair one of them with

1005
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: like a Melvin Gordon, you get like I think like

1006
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: Penny and Melvin Gordon would be a really nice duo because, uh,

1007
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: Penny looked great at the end of last year. He's

1008
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: clearly got a lot of burst and and explosiveness. And

1009
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: then you bring in like a durable, reliable option in

1010
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, like those two on a team that I

1011
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: think is gonna try to run the ball a bunch

1012
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: now without Russell Wilson. I just keep thinking that that

1013
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: is a team that has cap space, likes to establish

1014
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: the run, and could make a nice duo. Like if

1015
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: they decide to move on from Chris Carson because he

1016
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: just hasn't been able to stay on the field, I

1017
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: think Penny and Gordon would make a nice duo. I mean,

1018
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, the the idea of him going to Seattle

1019
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 1: is not ridiculous. Uh. You know, I did see a

1020
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: lot of jokes about how Pete Carroll will establish the

1021
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: run like he never has before because because they don't

1022
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson anymore. Um, maybe throw Miami into the

1023
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: mix to Um, you know, they've got a lot of

1024
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: cap space. And look, Myles Gaskin is kind of a

1025
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: nice piece, but you talk about a guy who hasn't

1026
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: really been able to stay healthy. They have cycled through

1027
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: a lot of running backs down there. Um, you know,

1028
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: Gordon not a terrible pass catcher. Uh, maybe he's somebody

1029
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: that sort of works into what McDaniels wants to do. Uh.

1030
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: You know, obviously we know how effective the forty Niners

1031
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: have been at running the football over the last few years.

1032
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe Miami could be a nice landing spot

1033
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 1: for Melvin Gordon if he decides not to come back

1034
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: to Denver. Uh next season. Um, I paired Leonard Fournette

1035
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: and Ronald Jones together just because they're obviously coming from

1036
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: the same backfield. I did see an Instagram post from

1037
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: four net where it sounded like he's all but gone.

1038
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he basically was thanking his teammates for, you know,

1039
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: all of their support in his time there and how

1040
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: he really gave it his all every time he stepped

1041
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: on the field in Tampa. Just just to read it,

1042
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: it sounded like a farewell post from from Leonard four nett?

1043
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: So is he gone? Does Rojo come back? Are the

1044
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: Bucks without either of these guys heading into next season?

1045
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: I I thought four net would be the more likely

1046
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 1: one of the two to return. He's kind of become

1047
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: like a fan favorite there, and Ronald Jones was never

1048
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: in Bruce arians good graces since Sarian's got the job there. Uh.

1049
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 1: But if if he does move on from the Bucks,

1050
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: he like like the Cardinals make sense, but they don't

1051
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: have a bunch of cap I know people have mentioned

1052
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: the Bills, but they don't have a bunch of cap space.

1053
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:45,240
Speaker 1: The one I'm thinking Eagles because the Eagles haven't really

1054
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: seemed to committed to Miles Sanders. Sanders could kind of

1055
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: become the second back you. I think more and more

1056
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 1: teams are gonna want to have two reliable backs, uh there,

1057
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: especially with the extra game now and and all of that.

1058
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: So the Eagles are one that that I think kind

1059
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: of makes sense. Running Backs for me, are harder to

1060
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: kind of peg in free agency than receivers because all

1061
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: of the teams, a lot of teams have a a

1062
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: at least a solid running back on their roster, so

1063
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: it's a little bit harder to find some fits there.

1064
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: But those are all teams that I think could use

1065
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: a running back upgrade. Yeah. It's funny too because a

1066
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: lot of the teams that have significant cap space, they

1067
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: do have a good running back, so that's not really

1068
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. I guess. The other part

1069
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: of it, though, is because of the way teams have

1070
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: viewed running backs, you don't necessarily have to have a

1071
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: lot of cap space, um, because you're not breaking the

1072
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: bank to bring in a running back. I am sort

1073
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: of curious what happens in Carolina because in the last

1074
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: day or so. There have been rumors that the Panthers

1075
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: are interested in dealing Christian McCaffrey. That opens up a

1076
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: lot of of salary potentially if they're able to move

1077
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: on from him. Um, but it also leaves them very

1078
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 1: much in need of a running back. Do they maybe

1079
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: try to trade Christian McCaffrey, get some draft picks, uh,

1080
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: and then go for a lower priced option on the

1081
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: free agency market, or maybe draft a rookie. I don't know,

1082
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: but um, I very much think Carolina could be in

1083
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: play for some teams. I have a feeling one of

1084
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: these guys that's coming back. Maybe it's not Lenny, or

1085
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: maybe it maybe it is Lane. Maybe maybe this is

1086
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: just all premature. Maybe they finally move on from Rojoe

1087
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: Um because Bruce arians as you mentioned, never seemed to

1088
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: really be a fan. Uh. Maybe they bring back Lombardi

1089
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: Lenny and try to try to load him up with

1090
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: opportunities one more time. But I don't I don't think

1091
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: both of these guys are gonna be back. It's a

1092
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 1: it's a one or the other situation there. Um. Similarly,

1093
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: Whee Mostarred and Jeff Wilson Jr. Both free agents in

1094
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Uh, it seems like the forty nine have

1095
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: kind of figured out their backfield situation. I mean, I

1096
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: know it's a big loss when most went down early

1097
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: in the season and then they lose Jeff Wilson, but

1098
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell was very good. Obviously, Deebo Samuel did an

1099
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: amazing job kind of as a hybrid player there. I

1100
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if both of these guys are somewhere else.

1101
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: Maybe one of them mens up in Miami back with

1102
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: with Mike McDaniel. But I don't think either of these

1103
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: guys come back to San Francisco next year. Me neither.

1104
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if both of these

1105
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: two ended up in Miami with Mike McDaniel. They know

1106
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: his system, they fit that running system. And the other

1107
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: thing is they they both might sign for like the

1108
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: Vet minimum were close to it, Like Jeff Wilson Jr.

1109
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: He's a good player, but he's not one that is

1110
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: gonna demand a whole bunch of money, and most are

1111
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: would get more money. But he's been so hurt and

1112
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: and so just limited these last couple of years that

1113
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: I don't think any team is gonna really heavily invest

1114
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,240
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking the least one, maybe both of them

1115
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: ends up in Miami just because, or maybe one ends

1116
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: up like backing up Elijah Mitchell, like Jeff Wilson, maybe

1117
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: stays in San Franz and then most are goes to Miami.

1118
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: But I think these two are gonna stay in the

1119
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 1: Shanahan coaching tree. I think so, um, I mean, just

1120
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: Miami just seems like an easy transition for one or

1121
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: both of these guys. Um. I'm also curious, but maybe

1122
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: they do sign one of these guys in San Francisco

1123
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: just because for all the things that Deebo did that

1124
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: were amazing, do they want to keep using him that

1125
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: way and submitting him to punishment? Maybe they do. I mean,

1126
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: he's just a different kind of dude, right, He's built different. Um.

1127
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: But I also think they want to have more depth

1128
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: at running back than they did last year. Um, Sony

1129
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: Michelle who came over to the Rams in a trade,

1130
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: and look, Sony Michelle is not spectacular, right, Like, he

1131
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: doesn't blow anybody away, and in fantasy, he's not a

1132
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: guy that we're really just clamoring for that we have

1133
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: to have. But he is productive, and he's steady and

1134
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 1: he's consistent. Um. I mean, I think if I'm the Rams,

1135
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to keep Sony Michelle in Los Angeles because

1136
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: you just never know what's gonna happen with injuries. Last year,

1137
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: I think it was a good point. But if you're

1138
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, do you want to maybe get out of

1139
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: the shadow of Cam Akers and Darryl Henderson and see

1140
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: if you can find a spot where you can get

1141
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: more opportunities. I think he will. I think the Rams

1142
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: will definitely want to bring him back. He's the type

1143
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: of running back that that I could see ending up

1144
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I'm not sure they're really going to break

1145
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: the bank for a starter, but I think like we

1146
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: could see like a Sony Michelle and uh Devin Singletary

1147
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: split backfield where Michelle would probably be the one getting

1148
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: the goal one carries in those shortyard runs, but it

1149
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,439
Speaker 1: prevents Singletary from taking all of those hits because they've

1150
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: been reluctant to give him a full workload unless it's

1151
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, late in the season last season. So I

1152
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: could see something like that. I could also see him

1153
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: being like, uh, the new mark Ingram with the Saints

1154
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: something like that. Like, I think that is his role,

1155
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: Like he's gonna go to a team that has a

1156
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: starting running back, but not one that is gonna command

1157
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: three hundred touches, and then he'll be like that hammer

1158
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: to someone else's lightning. Do you think the Bills are

1159
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 1: are over Zack Moss? I think so. I think it's

1160
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: just gone so poorly since they take Like, I think

1161
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: he's a talented player, but it I thought so at least,

1162
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: it just never translated to on the field production. Yeah,

1163
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: I mean it hasn't. I look selfishly because I like

1164
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. I was glad to see him get more

1165
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: work late in the season. Um, I don't think the

1166
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: Bills are just gonna turn the backfield over to him completely.

1167
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: So maybe there is somebody like a Sony Michelle that

1168
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: that kind of slides in there um. Or maybe it's

1169
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: James Conner, who had a huge season with Arizona was

1170
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown machine for the Cardinals this past year. Guardage

1171
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: was about to get excited about but man, the touchdowns

1172
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: were fantastic for James Connor. Uh do the Cardinals keep him?

1173
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean that I think that would make Kyler Murray

1174
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: happy and make him and his agent happy because they

1175
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: keep pieces around him. Or do they move on? Do

1176
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: they try to go Chase Edmonds? Um? What what is

1177
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: the future for James Connor? What should the future be

1178
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: for James Conner? I think he should just stay in Arizona.

1179
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,439
Speaker 1: That they also have Edmunds a free agent, so they're

1180
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to who's one or someone new? I mean

1181
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: to me, Connor not only did he score all those touchdowns,

1182
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 1: and he was a great goal on runner late in

1183
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: the second half of the season when when Chase Edmonds

1184
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 1: was hurt, Connor was doing it all for them. I

1185
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: mean he was making spectacular one handed catches. He was

1186
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: being a legit receiving option out of the backfield. Like

1187
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: we know, Connor is talented, uh and we've known that

1188
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: for years now. The only issue is when he hasn't

1189
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: been able to stay healthy. I think right now the

1190
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: perfect fit for him is in Arizona. Kingsbury has had

1191
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: success with veterans, he hasn't had success developing young players

1192
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: so far, so I think they bring in another veteran.

1193
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: Although I find this hilarious. Every team is either in

1194
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: the negative when it comes to cap space, or they

1195
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: have three million or more, except for the Arizona Cardinals,

1196
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: who have two thousand dollars in caps. They basically have like,

1197
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, a few few months of a car payment.

1198
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: Basically cap space. H is what they've got there. Um. Honestly,

1199
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: I think a few of the Cardinals you gotta go

1200
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 1: out of your way to try to just resign a

1201
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: lot of your free agents. You know, James Conners one,

1202
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds is one. We talked about zach Ertz uh

1203
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: and whether or not they bring him back. I mean,

1204
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: I know they sort of faded down the stretch, but

1205
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: they've got pieces in place, and I think some of

1206
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: that had to do with DeAndre Hopkins being hurt. Um.

1207
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: You know, I I don't think they keep both Christian

1208
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: Kirk and aj Green, and maybe they don't keep either.

1209
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of these pieces, I think

1210
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: you just try to bring them back because you weren't

1211
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: that far away, um from from maybe making some noise. Uh.

1212
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: It's just it's just they gotta figure figure out how

1213
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: to finish strong in the back half of the season,

1214
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: and they have to like each other enough so that

1215
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: their quarterback uh stays Instagram friends with them or something

1216
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: like that too. Um, so it's gonna be interesting. Now

1217
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: free agency starts in a week. I'm sure you and

1218
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,600

1227
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,040

01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I need to jump on TikTok. Yeah. Man, this is

1229

1231
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: is a hefty show. Yeah. We we've been doing like

1232
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: half this time. But and we we said it when

1233
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: we were talking before the show yesterday, we were like, oh, man,

1234
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: like we have to include this and we have to

1235
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: include this. And it was just the biggest newsday I

1236
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: would say, at least since I started working at the NFL. Now, yeah,

1237
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: it's been there hasn't been anything like this for a while,

1238
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: without a doubt, And I'm, uh, you know, I'm trying

1239
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: to scroll Twitter to make sure nothing else breaks as

1240
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: we're doing this, But I'm sure as we sign off,

1241
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: who knows, something else may happen too, But let's keep

1242
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: our fingers us that it waits at least until tomorrow. Hey, so, uh,

1243
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, I joked about things happening as soon as

1244
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: we're done recording a podcast, so full disclosure, we had

1245
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: wrapped up our regular edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show,

1246
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: and about ten minutes later, the news comes down that

1247
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts are trading Carson Wentz to the Washington

1248
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Commanders for a package of picks that is thought to

1249
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 1: include a pair of third rounders. So Carson Wentz after

1250
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: what was not a great year in Indianapolis. In fact,

1251
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: the Colts ended up missing out on the playoffs because

1252
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz had an awful day against the lowli Jacksonville Jaguars.

1253
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 1: He is now a commander, which means our old pal

1254
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: and radio row interviewee Taylor Heinek is probably out of

1255
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: a gig somewhere, um instant reaction. What does this mean

1256
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: for say, like Terry McLaurin now in Washington. I think

1257
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: it's an upgrade for mclauren, but not a not by

1258
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot. Like Carson Wentz is an adequate quarterback.

1259
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: I don't believe he's ever shown us that he can

1260
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: lift someone to new fantasy heights. I mean, Michael Pittman Jr.

1261
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Did uh kind of break out last year, but we

1262
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: were all kind of expecting that a little bit. We

1263
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: love the talent there. I guess it's it's an upgrade

1264
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: for McLaurin, but not enough of one where I'm suddenly

1265
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: thinking this is the year he he breaks out and

1266
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: is the wide receiver one that we had been hoping

1267
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: for probably uh more. How he has been the last

1268
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: couple of years a wide receiver too that will have

1269
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: some really nice games and then some really down weeks.

1270
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think the consensus right now

1271
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: is that, yeah, this is an upgrade from Taylor Heinecki,

1272
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: but not significantly. Um. You know, it just seems like

1273
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: the farther we get into Carson Wentz's career, Uh, it

1274
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: was at the seventeen year when he was an MVP

1275
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: candidate before he got hurt. Um, it just feels more

1276
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: and more like the Emily Um and so you know,

1277
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: I guess this helps. I guess this helps get Washington

1278
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: a little bit closer to where they want to be. Um.

1279
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: It's a pretty big downgrade though, right for a team

1280
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: that seemed to be in on Russell Wilson. Um that

1281
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: that seemed to be close is making an offer for

1282
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and now uh they get they get Carson Wentz. Uh,

1283
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: it definitely seems like a big fall off. So I

1284
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: guess now the question is, I mean, there's obviously an

1285
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: opening in Indianapolis. We we talked about Mitch Robinski and

1286
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: and where does he maybe land with the Colts? Is

1287
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: that a fit for him there in Indianapolis? I think so? Like,

1288
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: like that's one that I could definitely see happening. Because

1289
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: the Colts, let's not forget, they don't have their first

1290
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: round pick this year because they gave it up to

1291
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: get Carson Wentz, who they just traded for two thirds.

1292
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Like that that was a a big swing and a miss,

1293
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: And I'm left wondering who's gonna be Like Indie is

1294
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: one of those teams that I think you can look

1295
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: at the rest of their roster and be like, this

1296
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: is a team that is a quarterback away from being

1297
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,479
Speaker 1: in contention, and now they're even further away from having

1298
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: that quarterback. Like it's clearly their quarterback of the future

1299
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: is not on the roster. They don't have the capital

1300
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: to get one in the draft. You have to think

1301
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna go with the bridge quarterback here. Rubisky is

1302
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,959
Speaker 1: one that makes sense. Maybe they try to go after

1303
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: like Deshaun Watson, but he's not gonna stay in division.

1304
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't think so like that. That's another big name

1305
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: that's gone, so Jimmy g maybe they're in play for him.

1306
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure which direction exactly they're gonna go in.

1307
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: And the culture team markets that I always get excited

1308
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: for in fantasy, Like I think Frank Reik is a

1309
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: good play caller. They obviously Jonathan Taylor is super talented.

1310
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman is someone we like. This probably just means

1311
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: even more Jonathan Taylor next year. I mean, like the

1312
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: cap the Colts have a ton of cap space, so

1313
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: they can chase Yeah, I guess if they wanted to

1314
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 1: chase Deshaun Watson depending on what his legal situation is,

1315
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: which side notes sounds like maybe there's there's some resolution

1316
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: potentially on the horizon in there. I think we still

1317
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: have to worry about whatever league discipline happens. But they

1318
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: do have the money if they want to try to

1319
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: go UH in that direction. I don't know that that

1320
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: they can maybe swing a deal for Garoppolo just because

1321
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that they have the draft picks available

1322
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: that the forty Niners would want UH in return from Indianapolis. So, um,

1323
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: it very much leaves a hole there in Indy and

1324
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: and until we know what that's going to who that

1325
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: player is going to be. I think it impacts Michael Pittman.

1326
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: Um does it impact Jonathan Taylor. I feel like, whoever

1327
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback is, Jonathan Taylor is still going to get here,

1328
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe he doesn't really get touched as much

1329
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: in this. I think we could see even more Jonathan

1330
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Taylor running now and hopefully maybe even some more dump

1331
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: off passes his way. But yeah, this I don't know.

1332
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if it necessarily helps John like he

1333
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: was already the first player off the board in a

1334
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: lot of drafts. I I don't know if that changes,

1335
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: but I don't think this is a boost to his

1336
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: value in any way, unless, of course, they go out

1337
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: and maybe they get a Jimmy g or someone like that,

1338
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: and then it's like a lateral move kind of so

1339
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: U and that was the thing. Ian Rappaport literally just

1340
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: tweeted as you were talking, the Colts have entered the

1341
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: quarterback race again. Expect them to be in the mix

1342
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Garoppolo. Um. Again, I know the Niners originally

1343
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: had kind of a high asking price. I guess it's

1344
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: probably come down since Garoppolo is recovering from surgery. So

1345
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: we'll see if if something like that happens. Um. But yeah,

1346
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: definitely a shake up. And uh it happened literally just

1347
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: after we finished recording. How long before we hear rumors

1348
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: of the ghosts of Colts quarterback pass and we hear

1349
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: Andrew Lucky Rivers? Maybe we can cut maybe and coax

1350
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck out of retirement. Hey Philip Rivers, was he

1351
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 1: still coaching like high school football somewhere? Maybe he can

1352
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: come on back. Uh? Um, Yeah, So there you go.

1353
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz now a Washington commander. Colts, it's your move

1354
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: that'll do it for us. This special kind of rehashed

1355
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: jump back in edition of the Fantasy Football Podcast I

1356
