00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: the past. Also, we'll talk to Danny Carter, one of

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: my favorite people on Twitter, the co host of the

38
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Living the Stream podcast, also a contributor at four for four.

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: We'll get his thoughts on a lot of things, including kickers.

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: Is kind of Twitter's resident kicker expert when it comes

41
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: to fantasy photo he really is a listeners of our

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: podcast Around the NFL Podcast know that I'm obsessed with kickers.

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, all in on kicker. Oh, you'll have to

44
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: You'll have to check this out because Denny Denny Is

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: is very good at that. So we'll get his thoughts

46
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: on that as we're gonna talk Aguayo. Well, we'll definitely

47
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: talk about to talk to some Smerga in that way,

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: but first let's do some news. Let's do all right,

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: we will start in Seattle. Rashot Penny has had surgery

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: on his finger and that was a fetching robot. By

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: the way, thank you. I appreciate that. Um I say this,

52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: this thing, that thing has been polarizing. Some people love it,

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: some people hate it. But I was. I appreciate the reviews.

54
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Um Now, Carol said that the surgery went beautifully, which

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm waiting for the day that a coach or

56
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: player says that the surgery was a disaster and everything

57
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: went horribly, but this one on shot Penny went beautifully.

58
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Expected to keep him out a few weeks, although there's

59
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: talking he could be back for Week one right now.

60
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: Penny in a battle with Chris Carson for that starting

61
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: running back jobs. Dan, I look at this, this running

62
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: back room in Seattle, and it has been a mess

63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: ever since Marshawn Lynch left. And you know, as much

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: as I want to believe in Chris Carson, I feel

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: like it's still going to be a mess when we

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: get to week one. This. Yeah, it almost feels like

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: a curse or or something. Ever since beast Mode left there,

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: there's been this evolving door and there's always and especially

69
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: obviously this time of year because that's how Hope season works,

70
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: but there's always somebody that looks like the next thing

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: and then something happens. It's it's it's like that, uh,

72
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: the Brady Bunch where they go to Hawaii and the

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: good updated pop culture. But like, um, the only guy

74
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: that really that I could ever remember actually getting excited

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: about and you will probably have a better man, Marid

76
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: than me, but is when Thomas rawls, uh, and I

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: remember he was on my fantasy team that year when

78
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: he was going nuts. Then he breaks his leg and

79
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: it's just been a revolving door. And maybe Penny's the guy,

80
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: but now he gets sidelined with the finger issue, and

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: maybe Carson's guy, but yeah, you're right, that just seems

82
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: like something is off there in Seattle, in that backfield. Yeah,

83
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna be right now. People are really

84
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: still holding on from a fantasy perspective of Penny being

85
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: the guy, and he's being drafted two or three rounds

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: ahead of Chris Carson, but everything keeps saying Carson is

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna be that guy, and so I don't know it.

88
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: It's sort of breaking my brain that the people people

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: keep like drafting Penny first, but all the news points

90
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: to Carson. I don't know, doesn't from a fantasy standpoint.

91
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Doesn't it make sense to kind of just stay away

92
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: from the Seahawks or it kind of does? Um, But

93
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: if you're gonna pick a guy, I don't know. I

94
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: think I picked the guy that seems to be getting

95
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 1: more touches at a lower draft price. Yeah, that's just me. Whatever.

96
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Uh more finger news uh. Dolphin's wide receiver Davante Parker

97
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: suffers a broken finger. He's described as weak too week,

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: and he, like rashand Penny, is hoping to be ready

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: for the season opener. There's not a lot of clarity

100
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: in the wide receivers down there in Miami and Albert

101
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: Wilson's getting some love, Danny Amon Doola's down there. Kenney

102
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: still is a guy that people seem to like. As

103
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: for DeVante Parker, I know, for for us fantasy folks,

104
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: this is the umpteenth year in a row that the

105
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker breakout is supposed to happen. Um, I'm sort

106
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: of over it. And as a guy, as you would

107
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: being a guy who cheers for a team in the

108
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: a f C East, I just there's not much to

109
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: get excited about this Dolphins offense. No, and you know,

110
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: you can point to how Tannehill, uh and Gaze worked

111
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: together a couple of years ago before the a c L.

112
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: But the weapons, you know, you can get excited about

113
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Drake in the backfield. But Parker, I mean, that's a

114
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: first round pick that I don't know if he's even

115
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: on the team anymore. If he without that draft standing,

116
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: he probably not. Actually last year, I don't even think

117
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: he had a hundred yard game. Uh, he doesn't find

118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: the end zone. And apparently I don't think he was

119
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: up a good camp before this injury happened. He could

120
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: be in trouble. Yeah, absolutely know. There's a weird thing

121
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: that I think we've all started to notice first round

122
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers the last few years have not been great

123
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: guys getting drafted in the first round. You know, we

124
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: go back to team we have the the O B

125
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: J class, and those guys were great. Since then, the

126
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: last few first round wide receivers have not really panned out.

127
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: Those the Treadwell Draft, there was three in a row,

128
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: right and uh, and that didn't work. And like, I

129
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: think the best guy from that draft was what Michael Thomas.

130
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: I think it was like a second round guy. Um,

131
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: It's just it's been strange. It's Corey Coltman went before

132
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: any of those. Now he's he's not even on the

133
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: team that drafted him anymore. So I wonder what it is.

134
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: You would think that with certain positions it's harder to

135
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: judge whether they'll translate at the next level than others.

136
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: I would think wide receiver would be less of a game.

137
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: It seems a little easier, right, I mean, you know,

138
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: running backs, quarterbacks, that seems hard. Wide receivers doesn't seem

139
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: quite so hard. Ben Roethlisberger is in concussion protocol after

140
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: taking a hit in practice. Uh, he's out, by the way,

141
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: was now out of concussion. That's good, I guess. I

142
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: still don't think we're not gonna see much of him before.

143
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: Maybe we see a little bit in week three of

144
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: the preseason, but I can't imagine Mike Tomlins gonna run

145
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: him out there too much. What's the point, I mean,

146
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: what is the point when you are you've been in

147
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: the league since two thousand four. I thought, speaking of

148
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: the Jet Josh McCown, last year, they were trying to

149
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: see if Christian Hackenburg could actually make a difference, so

150
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: they played him a ton in the second and third

151
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: preseason games. I think McCown played maybe played a snap

152
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: or a series in the preseason. Uh, and they threw

153
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: him out there week one and he had a really

154
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: good season. Roethlisberger, I would think, is at this stage,

155
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: why even put him out there? He's gonna be fine,

156
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: just keep his body straight right, and and you know

157
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: we see that, I think with a lot of the Steelers,

158
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we know Leve bell Is is still you know,

159
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: staying away. Roethlisberger is probably not gonna play, Antonio Brown

160
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: probably won't play. If he does, it's very very sparingly.

161
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: Um So get ready for the Mason Rudolph show. It's

162
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: not gonna be and exciting. This is I on on

163
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: the A T N pot I I had a commentary

164
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: about my continued annual issue with the NFL, and the

165
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: team's charging the same amount of price when you buy

166
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: season tickets, You're paying full price for the preseason tickets.

167
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: I think most, if not all teams do that. Don't

168
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: tell me Steelers fans should be paying a full price

169
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: ticket in the preseason to see nobody, to see either practice, practice,

170
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: squad guys, a lot of backups, occasionally a starter. U. Yeah, no,

171
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I just you know, some discount them,

172
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: make them have price something I know. And we live

173
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles where not only our rams tickets

174
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: full price, but they charged full price for parking at

175
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: the Colisseum, which is like something I'm just gonna get

176
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: every every once in a while. Markets. I'm gonna just

177
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: because my drafts coming up in a couple of weeks,

178
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw a couple of things out there.

179
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: So the Steelers with Big Ben Leve Bell, Antonio Brown,

180
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: own juju. These guys are all type of dudes you

181
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: want to gravitate towards. Absolutely, and they're pretty locked in

182
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: you Leve bell is probably gonna be, you know, the

183
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: number one or two overall pick and a lot of leagues.

184
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: Antonio brown Is is a first round guy in a

185
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: lot of leagues. Uh. Juju's right now, probably a fourth

186
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: round guy with a lot of upside there. Ben. I

187
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: think the last couple of years we've been down on Ben,

188
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: but overall, he's a guy, you know, maybe you're not

189
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: starting him every week, but you're starting him often enough

190
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: that he's warranted, you know, being a top ten or

191
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: twelve quarterback off the board. How much do you think

192
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: people should put in offensive coordinator changes into their draft strategies,

193
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: like for instance, I'm still annoyed by Matt Ryan's fantasy

194
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: season last year. Uh, and a lot of people, including

195
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, will point to the departure of Kyle Shanahan

196
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: as the reason why Matt Ryan was no longer an

197
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: m VP level player or a producer last year. I

198
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: guess that's something to think about with the Steelers with

199
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: uh uh Todd Haley now in Cleveland a little bit.

200
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: Although I think that with the group that they have,

201
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: those guys you mentioned, they're they're so veteran and they've

202
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: been working together for so long. Those guys don't concern

203
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: me with the Falcons. Maybe this is my USC bitterness

204
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: coming out, But having watched Steve Sarkisian run that offense

205
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: for the Trojans, the Colisseum, a lot of us that

206
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: that bleed Cardinal and Gold weren't surprised to see that

207
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: the Falcons take a step back last year. So uh,

208
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, so we'll see. But you know, I think

209
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: it means more for younger players than it does for

210
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: veteran guys. I wouldn't. I would not. He's having a

211
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: nice hard knocks, having a nice hard knocks absolutely. Uh.

212
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: Last bit of news. Uh, Carson Wentz says it's going

213
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: to be close whether or not he's ready for week one.

214
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: He says his need feels good. We'll see what happens there. Uh.

215
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I think for the Eagles they would like to avoid

216
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: putting him on the publist if they can't. Of course,

217
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: if you can't start, Nick Foles is waiting in the wings.

218
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: I mean you have the Eagles like that. Um, how

219
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: much I mean, are you worried about Carson Wentz? And

220
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: if not, I mean, I guess we can have faith

221
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: in Nick Foles. Right, of course, we get this is starting.

222
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: This is officially on my radar. Now that uh, there's

223
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: there's handwringing about uh Carson Wentz in week one. We

224
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: don't need Carson Wentz back week one. We have proof,

225
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: indisputable proof that the backup quarterback Nick Foles, who you

226
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: probably could have traded, let's face it, for a second

227
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: or third round pick, maybe a sucker, takes a first

228
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: round pick coming off Super Bowl m v P. This

229
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: is why you didn't trade him, because you had somebody

230
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: that can give you cover. Do not put the franchise

231
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: out there, even if it's like it's gonna be close. Dude,

232
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: put him in week three, give falls two starts, you're

233
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: probably gonna split at the worst, maybe even go to

234
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: and oh if he keeps playing well. I don't understand

235
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: why people, and I get it, this is part of

236
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: the football coagna Centi has to talk about these things.

237
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: But like, just come on, Eagles, I think they'll make

238
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: the right move. I don't think it went's to start

239
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: in week one. I also think if you're the Eagles,

240
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: the pressure is off to win a super Bowl, like

241
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: you got your you finally got your title and I

242
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: know that they're impatient and the fans there want more,

243
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: but the pressure is kind of off, right. I guess

244
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't know the feeling. I've never my team has

245
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: ever even been to the suit so it's like, I

246
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: don't know, but I feel like if you try to

247
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: put yourself in their shoes, they might have a different outlook.

248
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: But you're right, they are playing with house money to

249
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: a certain extent, absolutely, so we'll see what happens. If

250
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: you are looking to draft Carson Wentz, just know make

251
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: sure you get yourself another option that could potentially get

252
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: you through the first couple of weeks of the season,

253
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: just in case he's not there. So there it is.

254
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: That's pretty much everything you need to know. Look, there

255
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: is nothing better than having a tailored suit. I say

256
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: every grown man should get at least one tailored suit.

257

Speaker 1: we continue our ambitious uh a t n NFL Fantasy

278
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: Live podcast crossing. I mean, this is sort of like

279
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: the NFL media's version of like Infinity Wars. You know,

280
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: like this is this is it. We're bringing everybody together

281
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: and hopefully you know, right, let's get Damna check. We

282
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: can get DJ and Bucky in here for move the sticks.

283
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: We'll just do a whole all right, maybe not them,

284
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: so hopefully we don't get fanos. Then somebody snapped their

285
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: fingers in half of us go away. But yeah, so

286
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you. So last year, several

287
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: of us in the building, most of us in the

288
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: fantasy community, kind of was on this whole, you know,

289
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: never Jets thing, right that everything looks bad this time

290
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: last year there was talked that the Jets could be

291
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: owing sixteen, that they'd be awful, and and so we

292
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: were on this whole like never Jets, we're not drafting

293
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: any guys, and you know, some of us had to

294
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: sort of eat crow. I remember miniche Meda calling me

295
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: out specifically on Twitter about my never Jet stance, and uh,

296
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: I had to sort of own up to that because

297
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think Josh McCown played well. We saw

298
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson play well. It just it wasn't that bad

299
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: a advice to people to play fantasy. McCown was a

300
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: decent fantasy option. Robby Anderson in the especially the first

301
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: three quarters of the season, was a legitimately solid option, right,

302
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: But it's not like you like lead people astray so uh,

303
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, he and I've patched it up. We're all

304
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: good now. So but this year, now, because of last year,

305
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: there's there's hope, there's excitement, and and so it all

306
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: starts at the quarterback position, where I just have to

307
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: ask Sam Donald great quarterback or greatest quarterback? Well, it's good,

308
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking to a usc guy. You have a better

309
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: idea of it than me. You saw more. But I

310
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: can tell you that, Um, it was so exciting. The

311
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: one thing last summer with uh never Jets and the

312
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: O N sixteen talk. And I remember speaking and moved

313
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: the sticks a tweet that really uh would stick to

314
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: your ribs as a Jets fan that he looked at

315
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: that roster. Uh, either he said it or UH somebody

316
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: that he n in the industry said it was one

317
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: of the poorest from a talent standpoint he's seen in

318
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: the last ten years. I mean, there was the one

319
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: thing a team and an organization cannot do to a

320
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: fan base is takeaway hope. And last year as a

321
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: Jet fan, there was no hope. There was nothing to

322
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: look excited look forward to. And I, um, that's why

323
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: I I on Twitter and on the podcast, I was

324
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: talking about the scam for Sam and that's nothing new.

325
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: People do that. There was the suck for Luck campaign

326
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: and insert so many more. But when that's the only

327
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: thing you have to really look forward to, it's such

328
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: an annoying bad feeling because why do we watch sports

329
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: that fun? So now you fast forward to the presence somehow,

330
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: even though we went five and eleven, we got Donald,

331
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: who I still think could be the best guy of

332
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: this group. And there's excitement. I mean, I don't know

333
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: if he's the great I don't know if he's the greatest.

334
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: He might end up being. Uh Mark Sanchez, I mean,

335
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: there's no way, but there's excitement and hope. And that

336
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: first game, uh the first preseason game, I thought he

337
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: looked really sharp and look completely under control. This is

338
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: the youngest quarterback in the league. Uh So there's a

339
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: lot to be excited about, I think. And I think

340
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: we're taping this obviously on Thursday morning. By tonight, I

341
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: think we're gonna know whether he's starting Week one based

342
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: on his performance. The one thing you know, having watched

343
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: Donald during his time at USC, the the thing that

344
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: I think most fans will tell you is there are

345
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: times when he will make plays and and this happens

346
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: with a lot of young quarterbacks. He will make plays

347
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: that leave you scratching your head, wondering what he's looking at.

348
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: You know, the the turnovers, the fumbles especially, we're frustrating.

349
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: But then when all seems lost and the chips are

350
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: down and you need a play, he will make a

351
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: throw that will just blow your mind and you know,

352
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: and it's just and you wonder, why can't you bottle

353
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: that and spread it across four quarters? Like why do

354
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: we have to wait till the end? But the the

355
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: the talent is there, the ability is there, and you

356
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: know what, what we saw from him last week, I

357
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: think was was just a glimpse of what potentially is

358
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: to come. But what do you think, do you think

359
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: you think he could be a star? I do? I do,

360
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: And I think I think if he can learn to

361
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: just protect the football better. I think that was his

362
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,239
Speaker 1: biggest issue was ball security, and so if he can

363
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: learn to protect the football better, cut out some of

364
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: those fumbles. Um, yeah, I think I think he could

365
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: be outstanding. And speaking of would you say the Crimson

366
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: and Gold, the cardinal and goals? Yes? Uh? Did you

367
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: think Matt Liner would be a star. I just need

368
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: to check in on this to make um. I didn't

369
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: think he I thought he would be better than he

370
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: turned out to be. I didn't think he'd be like

371
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: a superstar in the NFL. No. I thought Sanchez needed

372
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: to stay another year. Carson Palmer. I thought Palmer would

373
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: be a huge star. Yeah I did. I thought part

374
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: were you just curious? Um? But I do want so.

375
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater though, the other guy that people are talking about,

376
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: and I think one just as a fan of football,

377
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us just want to see

378
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Teddy come back and be successful. And so far he's

379
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: looked pretty good. And so when you look at him,

380
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: do you see maybe not with the Jets, but has

381
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: he done enough to earn a job somewhere in this league.

382
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: I think he definitely has. And I think the for

383
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: the Jets, the balancing act they have to pull off.

384
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: And that's why I think Josh McCown could go belly

385
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: up at some bar in Floren Park until Week one, because, uh,

386
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: we know who he is. Josh McCown is going to

387
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: be the guy that you could trust to come into

388
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: a pinch and be a mentor not cause any issues

389
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. Um, But what you really want to

390
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: do is give Bridgewater enough of a stage and a

391
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: platform where you can make him a really attractive trade option.

392
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: I already think his value is much higher than it

393
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: was before free agency started. I think he's proven now

394
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, that is that knee is healthy. Uh,

395
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: and he looked really good last week against the Falcons.

396
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: So I think, um, what we're gonna see for the

397
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: rest of the preseason, or at least the next two weeks,

398
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: and maybe week four becomes just an audition for him. Uh,

399
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a lot of work, and I think

400
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: there absolutely will be a team out there. Um. I

401
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: keep on thinking about the Jaguars, and I know, um,

402
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: I know that who do they have? That they have

403
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: a Kessler behind bordles Um and Kessler played well last week.

404
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: But I keep thinking that the Jaguar is a team

405
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: that that they're that close if they could just have

406
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: a guy that didn't turn the ball over, that made

407
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: smart decisions, and and he makes so much sense for them.

408
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: I think that Jets can get good value for Bridgewater,

409
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: but he's got to have the platform to prove to

410
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: everyone that he's healthy and can make plays like he

411
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: did in Week one, right. And the reason I'm talking

412
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: about Teddy Bridgewater Obviously he's not a guy that that

413
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: fantasy people are drafting, but knowing that quarterbacks go down

414
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: at a pretty high rate across the NFL, if you're

415
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: number two somewhere in this league, there's a good chance

416
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: you're going to play, and you're going to maybe start

417
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: in a game, just because that's just kind of the

418
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: way quarterbacks work. So it'll be interesting to see if

419
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: Teddy gets a shot somewhere again. Just as a fan,

420
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: it would be great to see him back on the

421
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: field and being successful. But you know, he could be

422
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: a name to keep in your back pocket if things.

423
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: You know, he would make a lot of sense for

424
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots to who have a forty one year old quarterback.

425
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: But that tride will never happen. It will never ever happen.

426
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: Ever made pastrami at home? What about smokes salmon, maybe

427
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: some slab bacon or dut com feet. Look, it's all

428
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: easy to make all that and more right at home

429
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,680

447
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: the guys throwing the football, that the question becomes who

448
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: are they throwing the ball too? Because you look at

449
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: the wide receivers and the past catchers in general, I mean,

450
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: are Darius Stewart already has a two game suspension, Chris

451
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: Herndon the tight end possibly going to be suspended, Robby

452
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: Anderson could possibly be suspended. I guess Quincy and Noon

453
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: was back, But I mean Sam Donald can be the

454
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback ever. But if there's nobody catching the ball,

455
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: what's gonna matter there. I don't want to say never

456
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: Jets again this year, but I I do think I

457
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: actually think their wide receiver group is better than they're

458
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: getting credit for. I don't think they're necessarily dynamic group,

459
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: but or some you know, a fantasy gold mine. But

460
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: I think Jermaine Curse is a very steady guy. Um

461
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: I think a Noon what and we have to see

462
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: if he's healthy. It was a neck injury that caused

463
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: him miss last year. He has a thumb issue that

464
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: he's dealing with this year, so that's kept him off

465
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: the field, but he was legitimately really strong, kind of

466
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: h back, A guy that a big target that makes

467
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: plays over the middle. He's a guy to keep an

468
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: eye on. I think at the back end of drafts,

469
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 1: I would think Um and then Tarrell Pryor is kind

470
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 1: of like the complete mystery. I don't know if the

471
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: fantasy community has given up on Tarrell Prior, but I

472
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: feel like I wouldn't just yet. I know the Washington

473
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: season was a mess, and apparently all the Redskins players,

474
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: I know, everybody seems to hate the question what what

475
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: what is it about t roll Prior that we don't

476
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: know that people just seem to hate him so much.

477
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, and it's like the great mystery. I

478
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: talked to a a very high up NFL insider a

479
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when he was still at the

480
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: Browns and there was you know, he was having a

481
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: one thousand yards season and uh, and everyone's like, the

482
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: Browns are I was gonna resign him? And then the

483
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: Browns dinner, It's like, why wouldn't the Browns resigned Tarl Prior?

484
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: And it was just like they just don't like him,

485
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: don't like him, and that just that continues to carry over.

486
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: But the point I was getting to, the wide receiver

487
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: group not so bad. The quarterback group, for once with

488
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: the Jets can actually do some things. But watch after

489
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: the offensive line, which right now is trending towards a

490
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: potential disaster scenario. They're dealing with injuries. They don't have

491
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: a lot of talent there to start with, and you

492
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: do not want to have any wide receiver when there's

493
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback learning on the job at twenty one

494
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: and a free pass for defensive lineman all season. Uh,

495
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: that's that's a ticket for an injury and turnovers and

496
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: all the bad stuff. But the good news is that

497
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: Donald is at least mobile. I mean, no one's going

498
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: to confuse him with Lamar Jackson, but he can at

499
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: least extend plays and get out of trumble. Um, are

500
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: they just still punting on tight ends like it's been

501
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: a long time since they have had a tight end

502
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: of note there? Yeah, they they like Um Herndon a lot.

503
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: They seem to think that he is a guy that

504
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: could develop for him at least in camp, and who

505
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: knows if that's just camp talk, but he's been making

506
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: plays for them. But I know it really the last time, Uh,

507
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: the buzz that Herndon has been getting is the last

508
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: time I heard any tight end on the Jets get

509
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: this type of buzz. You have to go back to

510
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: Dustin Keller, who was actually a very good tight end. Uh.

511
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: Once the Dolphins and shredded his knee and never played

512
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: to get unfortunately, but uh yeah, we'll say we'll say

513
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: uh And anybody that thought Austin Safarian Jenkins was a

514
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: bad guy to lose, look at his like yards per catch, right,

515
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: he was a nice story. But I didn't have an

516
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: issue with them moving on from him. But I felt

517
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: like he had He had a couple of nice games

518
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: early and everybody got kind of hyped and then it

519
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: just sort of went away. Uh, and then he went

520
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: away down to Jackson. I feel like he set the

521
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: record for one yard catches last year. It's hard to

522
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: have one yard catches, and I feel like he had

523
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: at least twenty seven, especially in the league with Jervis

524
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Landry hard uh and then running back so Isaiah crow

525
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: L right now looks sort of like he's in the

526
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: league there, But Blaw Powell is kind of Blow has

527
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: just been hanging around there for the last couple of years,

528
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: and I feel like he's doing good work, but he

529
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: never seems to get that that primary role there. I

530
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: know Elijah McGuire is potentially a threat win healthy. Try

531
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: to help me make some sense of this backfield right now,

532
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: I think Billy Powell is a really nice running back

533
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: to have on your roster. I don't know if he's

534
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: a good fantasy running back to Avenue roster, but he's

535
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: a good change of pace guy. He's getting up there

536
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: in age. I think he's thirty now. But um, other

537
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: than that, the way most people feel about the Jets

538
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers in terms of like the general blah uh

539
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: uh viewpoint on that is kind of how I feel

540
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: about their running back group. Uh co L. I don't know,

541
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: it's like whatever. Uh, Pale is a nice change of pace.

542
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls, as we brought up earlier, he's he's never

543
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: been the same after that broken legs, So we'll see. Um.

544
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know if there's much there that

545
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: you want to surface from a fantasy standpoint. Yeah, I mean,

546
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: Powell is a guy who I think gets more love

547
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: in PPR leagues because he can catch the ball out

548
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: of the backfield. And yeah, he will turn thirty just

549
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: a few days before Halloween. So yeah, he's he's getting

550
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: up there a little bit, uh, moving outside the Jets

551
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: and looking at the rest of the a f C. East. Um,

552
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: you have been the I won't say proponent, but you

553
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: have been, you know, proposing the idea that you know,

554
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: Tom Brady like most quarterbacks gradual decline. I had a

555
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: at a at a parachute out one, I pulled the shoot.

556
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: I This was two years ago. So since then, he's

557
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: thrown roughly eight touchdowns six interceptions, been to two Super Bowls,

558
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: won one, and won a league MVP awards. So I

559
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of bailed on the hashtag gradual decline, but eventually

560
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: I'll be right, right, So I'm gonnacuse like, I feel

561
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: like maybe this year, right, he he You're not gonna

562
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: have Julian Edelman for the first four games after missing

563
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: all of last season. He's breaking in a whole bunch

564
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: of of new wide receivers. He's got Gronk, who you

565
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: know has been making noises about potentially retiring because of

566
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: most piling mostly grunts, because of the injuries piling up.

567
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe maybe this is the year. Could I

568
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: honestly don't think so, And maybe my instincts have been

569
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: so wrong on this this will be the time it

570
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: does happen. But the last game he played, he threw

571
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: for five yards and absolutely shredded a good Eagles defense.

572
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: They also dropped a wide open pass, so he did

573
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: not a great wife, And I don't think in your

574
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: fantasy drafts you want to target him from that standpoint.

575
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: But like, yeah, like I all serious, is I'm just

576
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: now assuming and I think every fan in the a

577
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: f c s that doesn't root for the Patriots should

578
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: be the same way. Just assume he's going to continue

579
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: to be great. The thing is, he's probably and you

580
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: hate to say this, even someone that despises the throne

581
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 1: of sleeves, Um, he's eventually probably gonna get hurt because

582
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: he is moving really well. Um in terms of his ability,

583
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: he has unrivaled feel in the pocket and things like that,

584
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: but he's still never been fleet of foot. And you

585
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: know the once you get older, it's just a matter

586
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: of time before you take a bad hit. Brett Farve

587
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: even got Brett Farve. I mean, how is he eventually

588
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: is going to be a situation when he gets an

589
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: injury that messes up a season Because I I've gotten

590
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: to the point where just expecting, um biologically him to

591
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: go and to decline them out on that, I just

592
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: assume it's not gonna happen. I mean, So my other

593
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: argument is you know, everybody's talking about the TV twelve

594
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: in his training regiment, except like the photos we saw

595
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: this summer, he had dad, but he had like legit

596
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: dad bod, right, it wasn't like the tightest bod. I

597
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: have to agree with you on that one. But I

598
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: think that goes back to, uh, what's the trainer's Alex Guerrero. Um,

599
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: Their whole thing is all about like pliability and not

600
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: it's not about muscle mass. So I have a feeling

601
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: that that probably might explain why it's not in the

602
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: most impressive body. But maybe increte being increasingly limber is

603
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: what he's going for. I mean, I guess if I

604
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: have to give up all these different kind of foods

605
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: and eat like avocado ice cream, like I want at

606
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: least look ripped by like I don't want to have

607
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: to look like you know, I don't want, I would

608
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: take Tom Brady's dad bough. That's true. I would sign

609
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: up for it in a minute, very true. We talked

610
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier about Davante Parker and sort of

611
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but you know, there's been all this talk

612
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: for years about Adam Gaze being this offensive genius. I

613
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: have yet to see it, so tell me why I

614
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: should believe in the Dolphins offense at all. That's hard.

615
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 1: It's hard to really get excited about Dolphins. I did

616
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: a mail bag a couple of weeks ago where Dolphins

617
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: fan is like, give me any reason for hope. And

618
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: the only reason I could give any hope was there's

619
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: not a lot of good teams in the a f C.

620
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: So it's like, if you could just be a team

621
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: that wins nine games, you're gonna be in the mix.

622
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: And I think the Dolphins have a chance to be

623
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: in the mix. But the the problem with them with

624
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: them is that there again, you can get excited about

625
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: Kenny and Drake, but like what is like, what is

626
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: their strength? What are they great at? And and when

627
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: you remove impact players like and Dominan Sue and Jarvis Landry, uh,

628
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't fill me with hope that they're gonna be

629
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: a dynamic team on either side of the ball. So

630
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: I think they're just gonna be just another team. But

631
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: that might be enough to hang around and be playing

632
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: meaningful football in mid December probably, you know, I kind

633
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: of bought in a little bit on Kenyan Drake. People

634
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: keep trying to sell me on Kenny Stills, and I

635
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: just I can't get in into that one. I still think,

636
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, I say it all the time, I say

637
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: it on Twitter, especially the year. You know, we are

638
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who our next president is going

639
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: to be, and still Frank Gore will be. It's amazing,

640
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: is on the doubt. It's just it seems like a

641
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: strange fit to me, Like, how how much are you

642
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: in as the fantasy expert, the last man standing in

643
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: the building, the kaiser So that people are saying now

644
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: that Marcus Grant has uh just in a calculated way

645
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: just picked off all of his best friends for career reasons, right,

646
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: very grim stuff but also kind of oppressive. Um, but

647
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: now that you are the last fantasy man standing, are

648
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: you all the way in on Kenyan Drake Because a

649
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of people seem to be and Dolphins fans are

650
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: I am mostly in on Kenyan Drake. I won't say

651
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: all the way I guess I I gauge it at

652
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: about eight five in on Kenyan Drake. And I just

653
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: know that because there's a long list of running backs

654
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: whose careers are littered behind Frank Gore. You know there

655
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: there's so many years I think gorekn end up being

656
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: the lead I don't think he will be the lead dog,

657
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: but I think he will do just enough to kind

658
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: of eat away at Kenyan Drake's fantasy value. You know,

659
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: like he will do just enough so that Drake is

660
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: just sort of men instead of being you know this,

661
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, big time breakout running back. All right, let's

662
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: do the over under that um touches to ten. I

663
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: will go over slightly. I'll give him to twenty total

664
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: yards under touchdowns seven and a half under, putting him

665
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: at six. So you think he could be a nice

666
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: a nice acquisition for your team, But then, like like gout,

667
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: that brings you home a trophy, right, I mean, also,

668
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: let's let's be real. I mean, what has Ryan Tannehill

669
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: done at quarterback to make anybody excited. It went to

670
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: the point that last year they added Jake Cutler out

671
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: of retirement, and the talk was, that's kind of a

672
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: lateral move. It's fair, it's fair, it's even the even

673
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: the Dolphins truth. There's that point to how great Tanable

674
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: was playing before he heard his knee. You cannot dismiss

675
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: that that was almost two years ago, right exactly. Uh,

676
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: And then this one. Um, why are the Buffalo Bills

677
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: just like, I mean, I don't know how else to

678
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: phrase it other than that, like, I feel like the

679
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: Bills are like and Jets fans. We kind of have

680
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: a understanding of each other a little bit, and we're

681
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: both kind of sad and sometimes forgotten. So I don't

682
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: want to pile on the Bills. And and and also

683
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: they played, they were in the playoffs last year. But

684
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: has ever team has any team ever uh ended a

685
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: playoff route or had just a playoff season and then

686
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: entered the following season with lower expectations. It's been a while,

687
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: but I mean, I'm sure if we dig through history

688
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: we could probably find one. But this is I mean,

689
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: there's Lashawn McCoy, who is kind of getting up there

690
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: in age, um, and you know, has some some off

691
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: field concerns that he's got a deal with you could

692
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: say that. Uh, and then there's you know, there's their

693
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: question marks everywhere. I mean, you know, Kelvin Benjamin doesn't

694
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,239
Speaker 1: excite people. They traded for Corey Coleman, who who you know,

695
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: flamed out sort of publicly on hard knocks. Um, you

696
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: know they're trying right now as we sit here and talk.

697
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: The lead in the quarterback room is Nathan Peterman, who

698
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: last time we saw him through five interceptions in one

699
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: half of football. I mean, there's there's just not And look,

700
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: I know, our our pal Patrick Crawley, who sits downstairs

701
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: and and does programming, does a great job. I know

702
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: he's a big Bills fan. So I'm sorry, Patrick, but

703
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: it's just it's bleak right now. Yeah. Well, if you

704
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: want to get excited about the Bills, you can point

705
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: to Alan's upside, which if you watched the preseason opener,

706
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: it's undeniable that the dude has a canon. Uh, just

707
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: a matter of whether he that can be harnessed and

708
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: and he can be a guy that can put it

709
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: all together. Jalen Ramsey, who again shredded three quarters of

710
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: the league q uh this week, UH completely dismissed Allen

711
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: as being any type of talent. Uh you could, you know,

712
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: everyone can make their decisions and whether Jalen Ramsey should

713
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: be taken seriously, but it feels is like not maybe

714
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: the riskiest pick in that first round and uh, and

715
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: the Bills just need that to go the right way

716
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: because if it doesn't, they could be the dregs of

717
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: the NFL for several years. Yeah, I think it's Uh,

718
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's questionable. I want to find

719
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: some hope their fantasy wise, I'm just I'm struggling to

720
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: find it. But uh, never builds? Is that what's happening here? Ah? Yeah?

721
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: For me, actually might be never built because I'm I'm

722
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: sort of off the Lashawn McCoy trains might be west

723
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: on our part. One of our Home and Home was

724
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: making the point draft guys that you want to root

725
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: for and and you know it's supposed to be fun.

726
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't want the show McCoy on my team, on

727
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: the Shan mcoy on my team. I just don't. So

728
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: I I think else can root for that guy. I

729
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: literally might be might be never Bill, So yeah, it

730
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: will be interesting. The weight is almost over. It's almost

00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: that's our look at the a alright, that is, I know,

751
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: take a supplex to a table. What do they have

752
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: against folding tables there in Buffalo, Like, I have no

753
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: idea what they have against blastic I think it is

754
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: absolutely But anyway, that's a look at the amc East

755
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: want to go to the phones now talking to Danny

756
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 1: Carter runs Drafted consultants, also the co host of Living

757
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: the Stream. Okay, you are maybe the biggest resident kicker

758
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: fantasy expert on Twitter. Um. Yeah, so it's funny. So

759
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago I had Jake Sealey, who

760
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: is anti kickers in every way, shape or form. You

761
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: are maybe the most pro kicker person on Twitter. And

762
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 1: I know one of the arguments against kickers is that

763
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: they are unpredictable, that they're hard to figure out. You

764
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: say the opposite, that there are the most predictable of

765
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: all the fantasy position. To explain why you say that, Yeah,

766
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: besides quarterback. You know, there there have been a lot

767
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: of a lot of great research by uh Chris Raban

768
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: and TJ. Hernandez from four for four Uh that they

769
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: show that the kicker position is um is way more

770
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: predictable than uh, it'say tight end. I mean, for instance,

771
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: tight end is the least predictable position. If it would

772
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: if we're getting rid of physicians in fantasy, we need

773
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: to start with tight end, you know, abolished tight end.

774
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: That that that that's that's my my call. Um. Okay.

775
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: So then as I was reading the kind of going

776
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: through does that mean I'm a little bit crazy if

777
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: I decide I want to fade say Stephen Guskowski earlier

778
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: in the year. I mean, they start with Houston, they

779
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: start with Jacksonville. I have questions about the Patriots offense.

780
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm overstating it, but I feel like, all right,

781
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: early on, maybe maybe I fade the ghost a little bit. Yeah, well,

782
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: Gotowski and Matt Brian's and even Harrison Butker because he

783
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 1: was so good last year. Uh, those guys are You're

784
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: probably gonna go several rounds earlier than you know. Then

785
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: then the final round kickers, and I think that there

786
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: are plenty of final round kickers to be had who

787
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: who have just the same the same sort of potential

788
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: as um as guys who will go earlier. So you know, Uh,

789
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: whoever wins the Vikings job, I think it will be

790
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: a target of mine. Along with Adam ven Terry and

791
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: Jake Elliott from uh from Philadelphia. Uh, Roberto Aguayo and

792
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: Caleb Sturgis are in a kicker competition, which is a

793
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: phrase I don't get to say very often. Uh In

794
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna say San Diego for the Chargers, um,

795
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, for other than the fact that Oguyo was

796
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: kind of became a punchline that year with Tampa Bay

797
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: because he was so awful. I just feel like, can

798
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: we make a rule to avoid all Chargers kickers now

799
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: just because they've had such misfortune in the last couple

800
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: of years. It's it's really incredible, isn't it. I Mean,

801
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: the thing is that, the unfortunate thing is is that

802
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: you know, when we when we talk about kicker in Tennessee,

803
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: we talk about opportunity, you know, field goal attempts is

804
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: what we're looking for. And the Chargers having a good

805
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: offense the last couple of years, they actually have provided

806
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: kicker opportunity. Uh So if if there's a stable, decent

807
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: kicker in that in that spot for the charge, uh,

808
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: he could be valuable for fantasy purposes. It's just that

809
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: we can't catch a break, No, absolutely, So we'll keep

810
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: an eye on that. But uh, before I let you go,

811
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: as always always like to ask my guests about their

812
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: their pickup poppy thing in pop culture currently that has

813
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: caught their attention that they feel like they need to

814
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: share with everybody else. So curious, what what his? What

815
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: are you digging on right now? Danny? I am uh

816
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: I love the movie, Uh, Sorry to Bother You by

817
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: Boots Riley. I recommend that everybody goes see that immediately

818
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: or possibly wait until it's available on your various streaming devices.

819
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: But I think it's a movie that everybody who works

820
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: for a living can relate to. And it's a dark

821
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: comedy that's kind of absurd in parts, but I think

822
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: it works. It's it's extremely entertaining. It has a great

823
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: message that I think is very relatable to everyday people.

824
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it was on my list of things.

825
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's still in theaters where I am,

826
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: but I was certainly interested and knowing I knew Boots

827
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: Riley from, you know, when he was starting out with

828
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: the Coup, you know, doing rap out of Oakland, So

829
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: it was a movie that definitely caught my attention. I'm

830
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm sad I didn't get to see it earlier, but

831
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate the the endorsement because that that reinforces my

832
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: idea to go to one of the cool man. Well, Danny,

833
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: as always, I'm I'm glad to have you on. I

834
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on. I I love your work and

Speaker 1: It was yeah, absolutely, it does a little bit of everything.

841
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, uh so Hard Knocks. We've had two episodes

842
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: of Hard Knocks so far this season, still have a

843
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: couple more left to go. And one of the things

844
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: that you and I talked about on on your podcast

845
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: was that you know, every year we get these as

846
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: you call them, the hype bunnies, the guys who we

847
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: see on Hard Knocks, and we kind of get excited

848
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: about him and especially fantasy wise, we kind of get

849
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: we get fired up. Um, So I I put down

850
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: three guys on this list. I want to get your

851
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: thoughts on how much of a a Hard Knocks bump

852
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: some of these guys can get. The first one is

853
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: is Jarvis Landry, who you know inspired me to kind

854
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: of do my own hype video about fantasy drafting and

855
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: stuff like he Whitney the Wide Receiver Room and he

856
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: read them the Riot Act basically about being able to

857
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: go out there and practice. We know Jarvis Landry is

858
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: a good player. Uh does Jarvis Landry? Did he? Did

859
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: he get a bumped? Is he the next level? Now?

860
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: After his rant? After the rant, I definitely don't think

861
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: the rent plays into it. He to me watching the

862
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: first two episodes of Hard Knocks, I feel about the

863
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: same about Jarvis Landry. And you know, four seasons, four

864
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: hundred career catches. He's not gonna give you like a

865
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred yards season. And did he even have a

866
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: thousand last year? Don't think he did. I think it

867
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: was like a thousand for nine eighties, Yeah, which is crazy,

868
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: but uh, I would sign up for that. I think

869
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: Browns fans would sign up for a hundred and a

870
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: thousand with uh, you know, seven seven or eight touchdowns.

871
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep him flat right now with Hard Knocks,

872
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: I don't give him a bump, especially off the speech. Uh,

873
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: David and Joku, who I've kind of wavered on him

874
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 1: back in you know April, I was big, I thought

875
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: this is the breakout season. Then like may or June,

876
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: I was sort of like, maybe it's not gonna happen. Uh,

877
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: And now I'm going to admit that like watching him

878
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: do meditation and work on the jump machine kind of

879
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: has me sort of excited about David. I feel like,

880
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: even more than the two touchdowns against the Giants in

881
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: the preseason opener, uh, the catching the extra thirty balls

882
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: on the jugs machine with John Dorsey stone face and

883
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: folded chair staring at him. I believe that is what

884
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: it will take to and it's gonna send him to

885
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: the next level. No, I guess I would say he's up.

886
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: Hard knocks is giving him the bump, especially when after

887
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: you get through a certain number of tight ends in

888
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues, you're at that second tier, which I guess

889
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: he is. He's kind of a second series, Like I

890
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: think a continued hard Knocks um bump could take him

891
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: to the top of that second here. So I feel

892
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: like he's gonna end up going higher because of Hard Knocks.

893
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: I do know, and I don't remember where I saw this,

894
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: but I think somebody was kind of tracking and saying,

895
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, he's bumped up about fourteen spots draft position

896
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: wise based I'm sure a lot of it based on

897
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: what we've seen on Hard Knocks and games like some

898
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: people like as some people say, oh, because he just

899
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns in a preseason game with two different quarterbacks.

900
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: I say it's because of the premium cable show that

901
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: a small, tiny slipper of society watched, a very niche

902
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: audience actually watches on a regular basis. The last one

903
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, and we haven't seen a ton of him

904
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: on Hard Knocks just yet. I would imagine we'll see more. Um,

905
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: But you know, he's getting the pep talk from Hugh

906
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: Jackson about coming in early and working out with Tyrod.

907
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: Plus you know he got the escort from the airport

908
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: while poor Nick Chubb was just standing at baggage claim

909
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: like waiting for his stuff. Uh. I mean he's already

910
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: overall pick. Is it even possible for him to get

911
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: a Hard Knocks bump at this point? I don't think so,

912
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,959
Speaker 1: And I think it actually he might even be going

913
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: down because of Hard Knocks, not because of anything he's done.

914
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: But Tyrod Taylor just seems like a guy that is

915
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: the perfect quarterback for Hugh Jackson right now, because all

916
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: he needs is some wins. Hugh needs. If you can

917
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: win like six or seven games, he somehow is going

918
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: to come out of this and have a long run

919
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. I think, uh, And by long, I mean

920
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 1: any head coach that makes it at least four seasons

921
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: is a long like he uh. And I think if

922
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: Taylor continues to be Tyrod Taylor and it is Tyrod,

923
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: there was some controversy that it's not Tarrod. His own

924
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: mother calls him tie. That right, that settles it. Mom

925
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: settles the tie there. I like that confusing, But um,

926
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 1: I think Tyrod Taylor is gonna be hard to take

927
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: out of this lineup because I think the Browns are

928
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: gonna be better this year. And as long as they're winning,

929
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: like if they're four and four Halloween or whatever, like,

930
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: aren't the brown is gonna like keep riding with it

931
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: If they're in the wild card. I mean, I know

932
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: it's tempting and it's the number one pick, but if

933
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is playing well and there are five hundred

934
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: team and wait through the season, I think they're gonna

935
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: it might take longer for Baker Mayfield to get into action.

936
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: Then we initially thought, well, I came into the season

937
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,959
Speaker 1: kind of predicting the Browns being six and ten, which

938
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: I know doesn't sound exciting, but when you when you're

939
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: one in thirty one, your last two seasons six and

940
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: tens kind of kind of a big deal there. So

941
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: uh and I think, as you said, Hugh Jackson just

942
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: needs some wins, and and Tyrod's the guy who needs

943
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: you can get you some wins, you know. So Tyrod

944
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: is not gonna take you to the super Bowl, but

945
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 1: Tyrode is gonna make you relevant as the Bills showed

946
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: the Bills that show, Oh that was the Lashawn McCoy show.

947
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is a guy that you know will keep

948
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: the ships steady and the prowns need that right absolutely.

949
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: Plus the one thing I got from Hard Knocks is

950
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: that he just seems to be a really likable dude,

951
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: likable guy. So uh so, okay, so now you are,

952
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, the the resident Hard Knocks guy here,

953
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: and you can read Dan Hansis's ride ups every single

954
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: week after an episode of Hard Knocks airs. So give

955
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: me that drum loop. Lee. Alright, I would put you

956
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: on the spot. You've been doing this for a while.

957
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean, your top five seasons of Hard Knocks, all right,

958
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: bias aside the Jets and Rex Ryan will always be

959
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 1: number one. Let's have a snack, yeah, let's have a snack.

960
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: Number two, I kind of I have to say I

961
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: really liked the second Bengal season. A little upset there

962
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: for the James Harrison season with all the acupuncture in

963
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,479
Speaker 1: his bag. Um. The last season with the Bucks, I found,

964
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: I found entertaining. I liked. Uh. No, I was gonna

965
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: say that Joe Fieldman Dolphins season because I just like

966
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: Joe Fieldman picking up gums and then firing Chad Johnson.

967
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: But no, I won't say that. I'll say the first

968
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: Raven season has to be in there because it was

969
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: the first, and I will throw out, excuse me, you

970
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: fill out the last thing for me, because I'm I'm thinking,

971
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: let's go, I'm Mike Smith's Teva's that was good. Or

972
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: you could go to Texans and J. J. Watt making

973
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: a spectacles that's a good one. To Ryan Cushing is

974
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: a bully, I will put that there in the back end.

975
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: Ran Cushing just literally leaving it ball on the field,

976
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: Brian Mallett over oversleeping. Yeah, the Texans gotta be in

977
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 1: the top. There we go. So those are your top

978
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: five seasons of hard knocks per hard Knocks, I was stressful.

979
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: I never want to do that. You know what, I

980
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: think you might probably the drums that probably make it

981
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: a you know, ramp up the It was almost like

982
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: they were approaching attention a little bit. So it has

983
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: been fun, you know, I have enjoyed it. This little crossovers.

984
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: It was a good deal, good time man. So uh,

985
