1
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: What is up? Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live podcast. It's me your man named g Marcus

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Ground alongside the fantasy viper Graham Barfield. Michael Fabiano is

4
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: Uh he's in New York doing it big time. Uh,

5
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: there's a I think what it is is the the NFL,

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: the big head office there on Park Avenue. Their sales

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: team does a big client draft. Um united that we

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: were here for the small one in l A. Well,

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: we weren't involved in it. We were not cool enough

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: to be a part of the league. We know, we're

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: only there to give advice. We were, yeah, we were.

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: You know, we were offering free fantasy advice in exchange

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: for food and beer. It wasn't a bad trade off.

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: Not a bad trade off. No, open bar was not

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: not bad. No. Uh. And uh so FABS is out

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 1: in New York. I know that's a huge one. Uh.

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: They get andrews Ceciliano to go out and be the MC.

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: I think in in the past they've gotten like former

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: players to come in and too. So um yeah, I

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: mean it's like two or three days. Uh. And I

21
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: hear that the you know, in the evening stuff can

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: go kind of sideways. It's like their clients and salespeople,

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: and there's alcohol and and you know, by the end

24
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: of the night it gets it's a little wild. I

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: bet it's I bet it's rowdy, and I bet it's

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: a good time. Is So that's that's where Fabs is.

27
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: He'll be back with us. Uh next week, we got

28
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: play to talk about the preseason Week three. This is

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: the big one, the one that everybody waits for. I

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: know that for a lot of people, this is when

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: you do your drafts after this weekend is over, because

32
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: at that point all the starters are in bubble wrap

33
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: and there's very little chance of them getting hurt. So

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. We will talk about Hard Knocks

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: episode three. We are more than halfway through this season

36
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: of Hard Knocks, um, you know, so, so we'll kind

37
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: of get our thoughts on that. It's funny because you know,

38
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Eddie had some thoughts that he put in the in

39
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: the dock and and they were pretty much identical to

40
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: everything that I was thinking when I when I watched

41
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: the episode. Uh, and then we I mentioned this. A

42
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, we were doing a thing called

43
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: League one. We had a draft for it yesterday, which

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: I guess would have been Tuesday in case you're this

45
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: need to this not on Wednesday. Um, but we had

46
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: the draft for with a bunch of celebrities. So we'll

47
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: have one of the celebs come in and sit down,

48
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: uh and do an interview and talk about his team

49
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: and what he thinks for League one and so you

50
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: know that'll be fun. But before we do all that,

51
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: we go behind the glass and talk to our favorite producers,

52
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: Senior Edward L. Murphy Esquart, who's back from vacation. Murph,

53
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: what's up? Yeah, I'm back. It seems like I left

54
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: New York and fabs that went over there New York,

55
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: but I was just in the back yard and he's

56
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: doing big time drafts. Um. I did have a question

57
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: for you guys. You just kind of brought it up

58
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: like week three, a lot of people doing drafts now,

59
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: and it's like the time where I was just telling

60
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: markets like I'm super nervous from my draft this upcoming

61
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: week and I'm doing a million mock drafts. When did

62
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: you you guys are pros. When did you guys lose

63
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: the nervousness of like owner, I don't know, want to like,

64
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: what what what point you like? I got this no

65
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: matter what pick I have, what players are left? Like,

66
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: when did you like figure it out and become like

67
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: the superstar level? Because I'm decent advantasy of paying it

68
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: for a while, but I'm not in your level. When

69
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: did you lose like my stupid nerves? I would say

70
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: for me, it was you know what? It was after

71
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: my first year here. So I think the first year

72
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: I started working here and I, you know, told all

73
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: my friends. I got a million invites from like people

74
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard from since high school wanted to be

75
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: in a fantasy league with me. And it's you know,

76
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: so fun fact. And I probably shouldn't say this on

77
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: the podcast because I'm gonna get roasted for it. Uh

78
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: do I was in I was in a league here

79
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: that we had here, just kind of a fun league

80
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: with a bunch of you know, some of the editors

81
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: and uh and some of the other writers and stuff

82
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: like that. I went over in the league that year.

83
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: I've done that before too. Yeah, I went I went

84
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: over and it was funny. The worst part was that

85
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: the last week one of the other guys who he

86
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: was already solidly in the playoffs, and he's like, you know,

87
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: I can just bench my line up. I'm like, book,

88
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to win that way, man, Like if

89
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: I want to go over, like, I want to just

90
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: earn the over this year, and I did. I had

91
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: a team like that too. I can't remember specifically, but

92
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: I think my four of my first six picks got

93
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: injured like pretty much within the beginning of this season.

94
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: You know, if I honestly can't remember the last time

95
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: I've been nervous for a draft. I mean that, like,

96
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: I've been playing UM for so long now. I mean,

97
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: it's just been a big part of my life for

98
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: pretty much the entirety of my life. UM. For big

99
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: leagues like that, I have quite a few jelly beans

100
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: invested in. I might get a few nerves before, especially

101
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: if it's like a really sharp league, but in general,

102
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I feel like, once once

103
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: you pull an over, uh, there's no point to being nervous.

104
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: But that's that's a good point though. Marcus and I've

105
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: been playing for so long, we've gotten our butts kicked,

106
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: probably in so many made so many bad calls, and

107
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: at some point, once you make so many bad calls

108
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: and you get so many things wrong, just like, yeah,

109
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: I definitely think that. The part of it too is

110
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: like besides the fact that's with all my best friends

111
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: who it's like, oh, like you work for then this way,

112
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: like that is the worst thing to ever happened, and

113
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: I want to see I want to seem like I

114
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing here. So it's just one of

115
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: those things where and yeah, things can go sideways to

116
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: get players get injured if you go for a certain

117
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: type of strategy doesn't work out whatever, But it's like

118
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: if you like don't even make the playoffs and a

119
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: league against I saw him my head, I'm like, I

120
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: gotta just do like safe pick or anythink got with

121
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: the big boom or buzz Like I'm just like at

122
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: that really weird point right now, Eddie, we're all just

123
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: faking it in. I'll just taking it. I will say this.

124
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: The one thing about working for the NFL, especially when

125
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: you play in the league with folks who don't you know,

126
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: who don't follow this closely, it's like that late round

127
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: when you make that pick that nobody's ever heard of,

128
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: and everybody in rooms like, wait a minute, what does

129
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: he know? Which you know, a lot of times we're

130
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: just we're just sort of guessing. So all right, we

131
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: gotta plan to talk about. So let's get onto it

132
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: and do some news. Back to last week, actually, I

133
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: guess Monday it was the Broncos and the forty Niners

134
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: hooked up and a couple of things, A couple of

135
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: takeaways from that game. Emmanuel Sanders afterwards that he felt

136
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: quote amazing in his return and Graham to watch him.

137
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: He looked amazing, I mean, not that far removed from

138
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: an achilles injury, went out, ran rounds effectively, cut, you know,

139
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: caught the ball, was great after the catch. So maybe

140
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: it's time to start moving him up draft boards. I

141
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: was definitely wrong. Um, Players coming off in achilles tear,

142
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: especially a two years old just typically are not on

143
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: my rage are for good reason. But Sanders is basically

144
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: bucked every trend we see from from players coming off

145
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: an achilles tear. It's fantastic to see, right, I mean,

146
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: he had that thirty plus yard reception is called back

147
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: to the holding, but he looked explosive. I mean, if

148
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: if you put a percentage on it, like probably he's

149
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: maybe back to full health. It's it's pretty incredible, man. Yeah,

150
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: the true outlier. He really is an outlier, And I

151
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: think that's encouraging one. It's it's just great to see

152
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: a guy like that be able to bounce back and

153
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: play and play well. But it's encouraging for what that

154
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: means for him this season. But it also I think

155
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: has a ripple effect. What does this mean now for

156
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton, for Dave Shawn Hamilton's. I mean, if if

157
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: it is that Emanuel Sanders is back and he's the guy, uh,

158
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: then that that starts to take a little bit off

159
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: those guys plates as well. I do wonder though, you know,

160
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Sutton is so explosive downfield and such a great athlete

161
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: day Shawn Hamilton's is also a great athlete probably if

162
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: you want to flaccose favorite targets out of the slot.

163
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if there's gonna be just one main

164
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: Broncos receiver this year, but if it definitely helps the

165
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: the offense is a whole and Flacco as a whole

166
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: getting Sanders on the field because he's just another way

167
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: to kind of stretch the field. At this point in

168
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: his career, Flacca is just so limited any more. Talent

169
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: than they get on the field in the way of

170
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: a great veteran like Sanders just just helps overall. Yeah, absolutely,

171
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: so that that'll be want to keep keep an eye on.

172
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: On the flip side, it's been rough for Jimmy Garoppolo.

173
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: He had the bad practice that got a whole lot

174
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: of pub on Twitter about him throwing five straight interceptions.

175
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Then he comes out against the Broncos. I believe the

176
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: line was one for six for zero yards and an interception,

177
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: a zero point zero passer rating. He says afterwards that

178
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: he was quote a little frustrated. That's understandable. Um, I mean,

179
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: I know it's it's easy to overreact after preseason games,

180
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: but at some point, I mean, I think we do

181
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: want to see him put together a nice performance before

182
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: the regular season. Sure. This this goes back to kind

183
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: of just a philosophy for me though. In the preseason

184
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: is like, especially with quarterbacks, frankly, it just doesn't matter

185
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: how they look. These are toned down offenses, vanilla offenses

186
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: going against vanilla defenses, where teams basically have five or

187
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: six plays and they might only have two or three

188
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: plays for specific veterans just because they're trying to put

189
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: him in bubble wrap. But they're just trying to get

190
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: different looks, whatever it may be. I mean, we've how

191
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: many times do we have to learn this lesson? Marcus

192
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson looked clueless in his first preseason, like Bortles

193
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: looked great in his first preseason. Layne Gabbert looked great

194
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: in his first preseason. Kylin Murray's looked like crap. Jimmy Garoppolo,

195
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: who is you know, for all intensive purposes, is basically

196
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: his first full year with the Niners, right, Who cares

197
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: he looks like crap. We've got eight games of a

198
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: sample size that shows that he's been pretty pretty freaking

199
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: good right in those starts. For me, it's just I'm

200
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: just not one to overreact based on how guys look

201
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: in the preseason because you're only getting a few snaps

202
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: and it's just subjective, man, Yeah, it is. It's very subjective.

203
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: It's funny though, because and I think that things are

204
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: all pal James co that sort of tweeted about he

205
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: did not responded to him. You know, like Kyler Murray

206
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: has like a bad game and everybody's like, don't worry

207
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: about it. The preseason they'll worries Jimmy g has a

208
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: bad game. Everybody's like, we don't know who he is?

209
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: A bust, you know, so I get it. We we

210
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: we over analyze everything, and neither part of it is. Look, man,

211
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: you're not spending a whole lot in draft capital to

212
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: get Garoppolo if at all. I mean, he's gonna be

213
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire in a lot of leagues. So

214
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: leagues he's not gonna be its not gonna be drafted. Right,

215
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: So if you have him on your roster and he

216
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: bombs early, you haven't lost much, you know, just something

217
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. Uh. In Seattle, Dk Metcalf is

218
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: expected to have knee surgery. The Hawks are hoping that

219
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: he will be back pretty soon. Um, you know, this

220
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: is a guy that it's funny. We we talked about

221
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: him a lot after the combine and it's sort of

222
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: calmed down. We haven't heard much about dk Metcalf since

223
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: he blew up in Indianapolis. I mean, are we drafting.

224
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: I feel like he's not even coming off the board

225
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: at this point. I've pretty much stayed away from that

226
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: Calf just because the Seahawks are gonna obviously be one

227
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: of the most run heavy teams in the NFL. Metcalf

228
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: has a long way to go in his development. I mean,

229
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to cover him on those

230
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: deep play action shots that Russell Wilson is gonna throw.

231
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: But now this, you know, this knee injury, even though

232
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: it seems sort of minor, um, it just made me

233
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: stay stay away even more. I think Tyler Lockett is

234
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: just a lock for like a hundred and ten targets

235
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: this year. He is gonna smash. Yeah, I think he's

236
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: definitely gonna smash this year. You know. It makes me

237
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: sort of wonder a little bit. We haven't talked about

238
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: David Moore, who had a couple of flash games last

239
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: year in that offense, but I have barely heard his

240
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: name at all of this offseason, and I feel like

241
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: we're we're maybe overlooking him a little. Last dude, I've

242
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: been taking him in like the sixteen seventeenth round all

243
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: summer and best Balls for this reason, because I kind

244
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: of figured Metcalf might develop slowly and more. I mean

245
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: it was on a small sample, but he looked very

246
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: explosive on some of his targets last year. Right um

247
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: in Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquis Hollywood Brown, according

248
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: to John Harball, has quote a ways to go before

249
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: he's kind of up to speed there. He is dealing

250
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: with a you know the effects of foot surgery, which

251
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: look between him and Antonio Brown, what's what's up with

252
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: feet issues in the Brown family? I don't really I

253
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: don't really get it. Um. You know, this is a

254
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: guy that I was kind of taking some late round

255
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: shots at just because you know, and maybe this is

256
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: a little bit faulty, but it sort of falls under

257
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: the principle of like, look, they're not gonna throw it

258
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: a lot, but they're gonna throw it to somebody occasionally.

259
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, maybe this year is

260
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: not the year in redraft leagues for Marquis Brown. I

261
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: think he still has some some dynasty upside, but but

262
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: maybe this year we kind of slow down on him.

263
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, go by Low and Marks Brown and all

264
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: your dynasty leagues right now. If he's gonna he's going

265
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: to start this season slow, It's no surprise coming off

266
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: the list Frank injury, Like you mentioned, no surprise that

267
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: he was going to start the year slow. I don't

268
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: think anybody was expecting Marky's Brown to come out and

269
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: light the world on fire. But he is such a

270
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: great Dynasty Bilow for for all of the kind of

271
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: negative buzz. I mean John Harbor earlier, you know, like

272
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: you mentioned, said he has a ways to go. We

273
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: might see him tomorrow night. Um, I'm not sure if

274
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna suit up. He just got reactivated off the

275
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Populist last month, hasn't played any preseason games, and there's

276
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: been a few beat reports that have said he doesn't

277
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: appear to be near his full strength yet. But yeah,

278
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: I love I love Brown as a as a Bylow

279
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: and Dynasty. Yeah, I think I tried to get him

280
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: in a couple of Dynasty leagues. So I'm curious to

281
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: see how this goes, how this works out. Last bit

282
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: of news, Julian Edelman has passed his physical after dealing

283
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: with some thumb issues. He is now off the n

284
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: f I list, which means he's back out and working

285
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: at practice. So any minor concerns that anybody had, I mean,

286
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: I feel like any concerns were very minor, but now

287
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: those are those are all gone away now right not? Yeah,

288
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: not for me. I wasn't too concerned about the thumb,

289
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: especially since it happened so early in camp. I will

290
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: say I've kind of wavered just a little bit on

291
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: my Edelman love, Like I had him at receiver nine

292
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: and Josh Gordon got reinstated, and I've kind of tapered

293
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: him down like the eleven and twelve ranges, and I

294
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: don't think he has like target ceiling like he used to.

295
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: But still he's gonna hoover hoover targets and this receiver corps.

296
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: You know, New Coherry has been banged up, Marie Harris

297
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: has been banged up. It's still pretty thin after those guys. Yeah,

298
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's part of it is that,

299
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, I know everybody's excited about Josh Gordon. I

300
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: get that, but you just like to be negative. I'm

301
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: just just I'm so, I know you've been burned too

302
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: many times I have. I think that's what it is,

303
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: Like I gotten my heart broken a couple of times.

304
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: But I mean, in the end, regardless, Julian Edelman is

305
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: still going to be that security blanket for Tom Brady.

306
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: When everything breaks down and things go wrong, He's going

307
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: to look for Julian Edelman. This is like the third

308
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: straight year Oltleman has been undervalued in PPR leagues. I'll

309
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: take it again. Well, you know what, I think it's

310
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: funny too because they almost go hand in hand, right

311
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: because every year is the is this the beginning of

312
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: the end for Tom Brady? And I think right along

313
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: with it was like if Brady goes down, Edelman's coming

314
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: with him, and you know, then we get to you know,

315
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: October November, and both those guys are still kind of

316
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: just trucking along doing their thing and everything that goes. So,

317
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: uh So, there we go. That's pretty much everything you

318
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: need to know. So you might remember me talking about

319
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,480

341
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Falcons you got. Um, you went and you know, kind

342
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: of shocked the world at bit shocked the world. Look, man,

343
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: we're just gonna talk about it. Albert Wilson in the

344
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: fourth round. But you you have a reason that you

345
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: drafted Albert Watson in the fourth round, right. I played

346
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,119
Speaker 1: with him at Georgia State University. Okay, when I transferred

347
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: there my junior year, I was able to play with him,

348
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: but this ship, like, you know, I think he had

349
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: okay last year, but he's a sleeper and I think

350
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: this is the year he's going to make that boom. Hey,

351
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: look he's started. He's he's an impact. I cannot fully

352
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: hate on it. So, you know, I'm I'm friends with

353
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: a group of guys who we we created a term.

354
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: We call it the bird alert. Right, every time he

355
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: catches the past, we yelled burd alert. We tweet burd aler.

356
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: So when you when you drafting him, my natural reaction

357
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: was to yell burdler right. So I can't completely hate

358
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: on it. And caught me by surprise, but I'm not

359
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: hating totally. Yeah, you gotta make those decisions sometimes. So

360
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: type who was better in college? You were or Wilson? Um,

361
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: I would say, Um, Albert was fast. It was really fast.

362
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: But I learned from Albert. You know he was he

363
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: was a singer when I was a shirt when I

364
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: transferred that okay, have a red shirt. Okay, um, but

365
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: just to be able to watch him, you know, do

366
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: his work and he took the game very seriously, you know.

367
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: So that inspired me in ways of you know, coming

368
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: to uh college athlete. I can't say, but yeah it

369
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: was great, you know I was. He's good and he

370
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: deserved whatever, you know, everything that's coming his weddy man. Yeah,

371
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: so you are. You're not new to fancy football, right,

372
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: this is this is about your first go around, all right?

373
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: So how how do you feel about your team? Over?

374
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: I feel like they are solid? Okay, yeah, solid team.

375
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: They're sleepers man, right, they like like sleepers. Everybody was

376
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: when I was making picks, you know, they quieted down

377
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: towards the end again and they was like really, okay, really,

378
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: you don't do it. Okay, yeah, you threw us for

379
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: a curveball with the Wilson thing. But I will say this,

380
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: like I'm looking at the back part of your draft, right,

381
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, so you get Aaron Rodgers and what is

382
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: that the filth round? Not a bad pick um like

383
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins in the seventh. Um got Rogers and Breeze.

384
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: So you got two solid quarterbacks and got something something

385
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: was wrong definitely. But the back half, I mean with

386
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: the Dante Pettis, the David and Joeku, the Dante mont Creef,

387
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers defense, Michael Gallup, like the back half of

388
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: your draft, man, Like sleepers, which I think now I

389
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like I got hustled a little

390
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: bit right that, Like you you're making one pick and

391
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: everybody's like what and then you know, we all kind

392
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: of like just you just like you kept telling us

393
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: that you can put people to sleep. Yeah, they were

394
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: just going to sleep. Every time I picked up it

395
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: was like, oh right, exactly, we we just we. I

396
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: mean I almost started to said the people brain pillars.

397
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: They was ready to go to bat. I should know

398
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: when I see one, but I slept. I missed that.

399
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: I'm allowed. They come from that. A lot of finesse

400
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: going on. You gotta be you don't know the game

401
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: that's going on there get you, so so that what

402
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: somewhere you know. Obviously Albert Wilson went onto the NFL.

403
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: How did you end up in a career in comedy? Um,

404
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: well I started and I'm doing comedy and on social

405
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: media in two thousands twelve. Okay, so you know, playing

406
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: college ball and doing social media. But I wasn't like

407
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: taking my social media serious because I was too busy,

408
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: you know, playing football. I didn't really start taking it

409
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: serious until I didn't get my chances. I would say

410
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: going to the NFL, you know, getting that opportunity. Um

411
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: But you know, in two thousand and fifteen, that's when

412
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: I kind of like took everything seriously because that's when

413
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I graduated from college. And once I did that, you know,

414
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: I had to find something that I was you know

415
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: that I was gonna do. But you know, I had

416
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: to go back into my history, man, and until you

417
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: know the person that I was, you know, like for example,

418
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: you know when people used to tell me I was funny,

419
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, playing and you know, creating content and stuff

420
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: like that, being inspired by people like Eddie Murphy growing up,

421
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: you know, watching another professor like Martin. Then like I

422
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: used to watch these things like I can call my

423
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: mom right now and she would tell you what used

424
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: to put me to sleep? You know when I didn't,

425
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, stop crying to something. You know what I'm saying.

426
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: But it just reminded me of who I was, and

427
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: I just you know, I'm a very spiritual person and

428
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: I just asked God to just guid me to where

429
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: he feels like, you know, I needed to go. And

430
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, I started doing everything on social media, like

431
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: the a person who introduced me to um vine, you know,

432
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: he told me, you know, because I came to a

433
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: breakdown because I didn't know what I was gonna do.

434
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: And he was like, man, you should start, you know,

435
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: getting on Instagram and start taking it, coming in acting seriously,

436
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: you know. So I started taking acting classes. Um. We

437
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: got into acting class with Dwayne Boyd um in Atlanta, Georgia.

438
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: Started I've been with him about three years now. Um.

439
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: Start just creating more content on social media and I

440
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: found my purpose in it. And once I found my

441
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: purpose in it, and I just found everything. You know.

442
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: I started it inspired millions of people. I touched millions

443
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: of people now, you know, more than I would have

444
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: touched playing football. So you know, wouldn't God do something.

445
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: It's always bigger than what you you know, what you think,

446
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: so you know, and I just kept going, kept going,

447
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: being consistent. Then I got it to stand up. And

448
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: you know, I've been doing stand up now for a

449

Speaker 1: like very humbling, you know, so just doing that and

459
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: just being inspired by that, man, And it was so

460
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: crazy because you know that Love by Chance movie, like

461
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: it literally like changed my life because you know, I

462
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: was working at Smoothie King at the time, right, and

463
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, my um my managers like, oh, you even

464
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,200

465
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: all right, I see you when you get back. I said, okay,

466
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: So I get over to Africa and I'm like, I'm

467
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: over here for a movie. Do I really want to

468
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: go back to Smoothie King? It made smoothies. And that's

469
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,159

507
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,600

537
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: But it should be fun. Uh. The draft was a

538
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I mean, you know, you and I

539
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: talked about this after afterwards. I mean, um, there are

540
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: some There are a lot of really competitive teams in

541
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: this league. There are. I was forced into a kind

542
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: of a weird build where I started with four receivers

543
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: and took to Shawn Watson or no, sorry, three receivers

544
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: in the tight end, and then I took to Shawn Watson.

545
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: The sixth round kind of went straight zero. RB. You

546
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: have a great team, dude. I think I think you Actually,

547
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: I was looking at all the rosters last night. I

548
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: think you have the strongest team because you started Juju

549
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: or you had Hopkins Juju, and you've got three great

550
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: running backs. Yeah, you know, I wish I wish you

551
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: would tell Evan Ingram, But I wish you would tell

552
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: that to the the algorithm that grades and sends out emails.

553
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: What great did you get? So I got? I think

554
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: I got a B or B plus. Interesting. But it

555
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: also said I was going to go seven and seven

556
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: this year, so I'm not quite sure that works. Well.

557
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: I got an A uh, and I don't feel great

558
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: about my running backs. Um, I would definitely rank your

559
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: team higher than mine. Yeah, I mean I like my team.

560
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I should actually put it on

561
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: the interweb so some people can look at it. But yeah,

562
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: I think I like my start of New Copkins Juju

563
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: and then carry on Johnson and the third. Uh yeah,

564
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know, but gotta be but I'm seven

565
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: and seven that that seems like a c or something

566
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: to me. But whatever, who knows. Uh, preseason week three

567
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: is upon us and this is this is it. This

568
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: is the one everybody's waiting for. The so called dress rehearsal,

569
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: when the starters get out there and they spend a

570
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: lot of time playing. Presumably for a lot of teams,

571
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: they will play a half, although I did see Frank

572
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: Reich saying that they're not going to play any of

573
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: their starters, and uh, I think it's maybe a ploy

574
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: so that nobody asks him about Andrew Luck. I've seen

575
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: a few people, you know, like interesting, you know, hey,

576
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: if we don't play any of the starters, then nobody

577
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: can really ask me what Luck's doing either. So I

578
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe this is a little bit of a

579
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: trickeration by Frank Reich, But anyway, I think some of

580
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: the big storylines from preseason week three first off, and

581
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Raiders a little bit in Hard

582
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: Knocks Are Hard Knocks Recap later in the show. But

583
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: so Antonio Brown is back, it appears that for the moment,

584
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: the helmet issue is solved. I know he's filed the

585
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: grievance against the league, but for the time being, he

586
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: has found a helmet that he can live with well enough,

587
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: and he's back at practice, back on the field. Does

588
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: this mean we finally see him on the field, cause

589
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: I think I think at this point people just want

590
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: to see him out there working with Derek Carr. I

591
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: think that's kind of the biggest thing with him right now. Yeah,

592
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: I I'm not sure what they're going to do with

593
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: ab and maybe they'll give him a few snaps with

594
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: his feet back healthy and he's back on the practice field.

595
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm just right now, Marcus. I mean, like, if you're

596
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: on the board right now, right let's say it's like

597
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: the third pick, the third round, Adam Feeling first, Antonio Brown.

598
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean I would probably go feeling just because I

599
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: think the offense, it's not a skill thing. I think

600
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: it's just about an offensive situation. For me, it's just

601
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: exactly and I mean, I think that's my point overall,

602
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: it's like, I love A. B. The player. I still

603
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: think he's an elite separator in such a great receiver,

604
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: all time grade receiver. But yeah, I'm just I just

605
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: don't have much confidence in this offense as a whole.

606
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: And it's just it pains me to say that, Like

607
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: A B was just PPR platinum every single year, and

608
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: it's and weird to fade him in most of my drafts. Yeah,

609
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's funny though, because I think

610
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: people are fading him even more. But it has nothing

611
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: to do with football. It's everything to do with you know,

612
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: this weird off the field situation. Yeah, that was never

613
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: that was my That was never even one of my

614
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: top three concerns, right because I think now it's become

615
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: one of the time, it's become a concern for a

616
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: lot of people. But I've always felt like the the

617
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: worries about the offense and the fit and his regression,

618
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: I thought they were already sort of baked into his

619
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: draft price in the first place, which is why he

620
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: slipped into the second round, you know, and even slipping

621
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 1: into the third round a little bit. You know, I

622
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: don't know why people were fading him because of the

623
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: helmet thing, because I always figured that was gonna get

624
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: worked out some kind of way. Uh. Cam Newton finally

625
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: making his preseason debut, and you know, I think obviously,

626
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: the as I've started to call it the Great Panther

627
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver War of twenty nineteen, rages on as people

628
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: try to figure out Curtis Samuel versus d J. Moore.

629
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: But I think what we've overlooked is the fact that

630
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: that means Cam Newton has two really good targets to

631
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: work with this year. Yes, the play here is just

632
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: draft Cam. Like if you miss out on d J.

633
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: Moore and the fifth miss out on Curtis Samuel in

634
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: the seventh and eighth round, the consolation prizes, just get

635
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: Cam Newton in the ninth or tenth because he he

636
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: has two receivers that can create on their own, both

637
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 1: as separators and with the ball in their hands. And

638
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to obviously have one of the

639
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: highest upside you know, rushing roles in the red zone

640
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: near the goal line. It's just it's a perfect fantasy blend.

641
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: He's finally healthy, Cam Newton has just so I mean,

642
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: he's obvious top five upside this year top three upside

643
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: even yeah, I think so. Um and look as long

644
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: as he again, he still is the the best goal

645
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: lineback on the roster. He's a cheat code. Cam Newton

646
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: is a short yardist cheek. You know, all that talk

647
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: about the Panthers wanting to find a backup to take

648
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: goal line carries and like, come on, nobody buys that.

649
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: Nobody buys that. It's Cam and Christian mca. It's Cam

650
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: and Christian mccaffy in that backfield, and that's all we care.

651
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: That is all. It's beautiful for fantasy though, because Cam,

652
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Cam's gonna get you know, his normal six

653
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: seven carries per games, be involved in the red zone.

654
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Mccaffy gets everything else, right, I mean, it's it's funny

655
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: because you know, I've heard people talk about concentrated offenses

656
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: in the sense of passing games where you only have

657
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: two or three guys that are catching the football. I

658
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: don't think we talked about it enough in terms of

659
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: running games, because that's kind of it. Like you you

660
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: don't really have to worry about anybody else in Carolina.

661
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: You know who's going to run the football, and you

662
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: can feel confident in that great point. Yeah. Uh, Aaron

663
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers hopefully is going to play. Uh, they were hoping

664
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: that he would play last week. He was a late

665
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: scratch because of a back issue, and now I think

666
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: the latest reports are he's going to be a game

667
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: time decision for this week. Um. I mean, I'm not

668
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: really worried overall about Aaron Rodgers because he's gonna be fine.

669
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: I just want to see what it looks like with

670
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: this new offense. You know, I keep joking that Mike

671
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: McCarthy's offense was blamed for everything short of climate change.

672
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: I just want to see what it's like now that

673
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: he has Matt Lafleur and how all the pieces sort

674
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: of fit together and work right now. Yeah, that's fair.

675
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean even if we even if Rogers does get

676
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: a handful of series, I don't think they're gonna be

677
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: blowing out any of their play package Probably not play

678
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: packages or anything like that. Packers get a brutal Week

679
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: one draw. It's the Bears they do. Um. Although I

680
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: remember last year, you know, Aaron Rodgers went out there

681
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: on a busted leg and let it come back and

682
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: on a but well sort of bus to play that

683
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: seventy yard cop Yeah, the Randall Coplay. Uh. You know,

684
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: I know that Adam ranks still a little bit better

685
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: about that, but you know, but I just want to

686
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: see him. I want to see you know, I've been

687
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: I've been on Team MVS all preseason and he hasn't

688
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: really done anything. And he's had he's played some snaps,

689
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: but doesn't have any targets, no catches. I just want

690
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: to see him kind of out there and doing some

691
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: things too. You don't you know why, because you not

692
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: want that adp to rise anymore. You are right, that

693
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: is correct. We need we need nothing from from Allison.

694
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: Let's keep those guys in like the seventh, eighth, ninth round. Please. Okay,

695
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: that's fair, that's absolutely um. Look the I know that

696
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: neither of the Bucks running backs are going to draw

697
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: a whole lot of water, right, I mean, it is

698
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: is fairly gross. But there comes a point in time

699
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: in the draft where they're they're there and you're staring

700
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: at them. And you know, yesterday in the League one draft,

701
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: I took Ronald Jones I think the twelfth round, and

702
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: I felt queeze the about it the whole time, and

703
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: I was mocked, understandably for it, but I do want

704
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: to see this Barber versus Jones battle a little bit

705
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: to kind of see which guy is going to get

706
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: the bulk of the carries or the snaps, especially as

707
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: the starter. I know that doesn't mean Graham that it's

708
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: going to be that way all year long, but it's

709
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: just gonna it would be nice to kind of get

710
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: a better feel for how Bruce arians wants to use

711
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: these guys. Definitely so far, I mean we've only seen

712
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston out there this preseason. Through through two games,

713
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: he's played twenty one snaps. The snaps split between Barber

714
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: and Jones has been thirteen to nine in favor of Barber. Uh.

715
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: This just kind of slightly continues what we saw last

716
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: year Peyton Barber lad this backfield and snaps in the preseason,

717
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: but Jones is definitely closed of the gaps some um.

718
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: I was actually one of the few that didn't mock

719
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: your twelfth round Pones, just because I mean, in the

720
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: twelfth round it's worth that risk. I mean, there's a

721
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: lot of red flags that are obvious around Jones, but

722
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: in the twelfth round it's worth the shot. Well, I

723
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: will admit to that. The people mocking me mostly were

724
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: Adam Rank, who just mocks that one. Uh, and then

725
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: the fantasy footballers, who were admittedly a little bit salty

726
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: because I stole Carrie on Johnson from them. I think

727
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: there's one other player that I got just ahead of

728
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: them too. Mike and Jason killed me on that draft.

729
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: They picked the leventh. I picked tenth. You were no.

730
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: I was eighth, Yeah you were a. Rank was nine.

731
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: I got sniped three times by them on running backs

732
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: that I wanted, So h they can they can eat it.

733
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you got carry on it from Yeah.

734
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: So I mean I think they they were mostly salty

735
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: because they were like at least two guys that I

736
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: took from them that they had in their queue. So

737
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: I think that was part of the reason they sort

738
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: of roasted my Ronald Jones pick. Uh. The last thing

739
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking at, or at least want to keep an

740
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: eye on here, just that number two wide receiver battle

741
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: there in Pittsburgh. You know, Dante Moncreef was the guy

742
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: that was getting the headlines early into training camp, and

743
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, the talk is that he's explosive and he

744
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: looks like the guy James Washington has looked really good

745
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: on the field through the first two preseason games. I

746
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: still am sort of leaning towards moncreiff in this one,

747
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: but I think it's hard to completely overlook James Washington

748
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: especi Actually, when you consider Moncreeve's injury history, you should.

749
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: I was definitely wrong about this situation this summer. I

750
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: was kind of pumping up James Washington. We have not

751
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: seen Big Ben yet this year, and I think that

752
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 1: does matter some. But the Steelers first team offense, they

753
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: ran four team plays in their second preseason game. Dante

754
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: Moncrief played nine snaps. James Washington played one. He was

755
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: actually outsnapped by Deonte Johnson, Ryan Switzer and Eli Rodgers.

756
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: With the first team. Again, big Ben's priority here and

757
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: hit the way he built chemistry with whose receivers does matter?

758
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: We have not you know, he hasn't played this preseason yet,

759
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: but um Moncrief is definitely the number two there. But

760
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: Marcus Vance McDonald vance McDonald, oh my god, like he is.

761
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: He is such a great seventh round pick right now,

762
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 1: I know. And it's it's funny because he's moved up

763
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: like I think people have sort of caught on. So

764
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: it's a Vance McDonald because I mean he was not

765
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick a month ago. Now it confirms

766
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: a full time role. I mean he played all fourteen

767
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: snaps with the first team offense in their second game.

768
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna play every single snap. And last

769
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: year he was a part time player because Jesse James

770
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: was partial blocker and ran a few routes. Um. Now

771
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: Vance is he's got that full time role in a

772
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: ton of opportunity. Yeah, it's it's funny too because that

773
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: was I don't think people saw or at least immediately

774
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: thought about that when Antonio Brown left. I think, are

775
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: we immediately went to the wide receivers and who's gonna

776
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: pick up some of the slack. But I know I've

777
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: been on the show so many times saying how how

778
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: much I love like the mid round guys of Howard

779
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: Ingram and Henry. But if I miss Vance McDonald is

780
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: an amazing consolation prize in the seventh round, No, I

781
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: absolutely agree. Uh, you know, I want to swing for

782
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: the fences. His his injury history is what it is.

783
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: But in the seventh round, like he has clear top five,

784
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: top six upside, No I think you're right, especially in

785
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: that offense. Uh you know that there's going to be

786
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: plenty of targets to be had. Uh yeah, I do.

787
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: I I like him. I also think it's it's sort

788
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: of funny. He's potentially another former forty Niner tight end

789
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: who goes on to fame and fortune else where like

790
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: de Laney Walker couldn't de Laney Walker couldn't touch a

791
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: cold with the forty Niners, and now he's like great

792
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Uh Vans McDonald was okay in San Francisco

793
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: and and now he's doing big things potentially in Pittsburgh.

794
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: So I know there's pre season week three. Will of

795
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: course talk about it on Monday, which gives me a

796
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: chance to remind you all. We are doing our live

797

Speaker 1: show on Monday, August eight pm in the evening. If

802
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: try to I don't know, figure out how to shoot

803
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: hoorn some of you into our listener league. FABS is

804
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: working on some diabolical trivia questions or something like that

805
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: to to you know, test your brains and see if

806
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: you can get on in there. So come on out.

807
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: We would love to see you, love to meet a

808
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: lot of you out there in person. All right, So

809
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: wrap up the show Hard Knocks episode three. Last night,

810
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: I I went through this thing and I always leave

811
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: it blank here at the night of and in the

812
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: morning I come in and fill it in. And I saw,

813
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: Eddie that you had you had put some things in there, uh,

814
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: that that you noticed when you were watching the show.

815
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: And I went through them and like they almost almost

816
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: identical to everything, uh that I was thinking. And the

817
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: first one you had. You know, there's always somebody, Eddie

818
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: that gets kind of an irrational bump from hard knots

819
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: in fantasy. Uh, and you you nailed it. I think

820
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: Darren Waller is one. I think. I think hunter renfro

821
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: might be another one that I think people suddenly are like, hey,

822
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: maybe this guy's worth picking up now. I think because

823
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: especially with tight end, like if there are some fancy

824
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: full players out there who don't want to spend a

825
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: high pick on one of the top tight ends, like

826
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: who can I get in the later rounds and they

827
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: see this guy, like what, he's a great like easy

828
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: story to root for. You want to see him do

829
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: well now because he's had a rough road. And then

830
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: uh like you know Gruten just talking up constantly, and

831
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: then now you're like, Okay, this is my sleeper a

832
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 1: hundred percent because I saw him on an HBO show.

833
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I will admit that. I mean I was

834
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: kind of big on David and Joku last year, but

835
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: then watching him on Hard Knocks and like maybe I'm

836
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: even more in on David and Joku, so I sort

837
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: of I sort of get that. Um, I mean Granama,

838
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: we I feel like we haven't you know, Uh, Hunter

839
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: Renfro isn't one that's getting a whole lot of love,

840
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: but he seems to be a mild breakout star in

841
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: this this season of Hard Knocks. Yeah, he's kind of

842
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: an interesting little I think dynasty play if anything. Like

843
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: he's not obviously a season long play, but um yeah,

844
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: I kind of do like taking a stab on on

845
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: on Renfrow and PPR Dynasty leagues because you mentioned I

846
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: mean right now, I mean the Raiders have like nearly

847
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: three d targets available. Um, A B is hopefully going

848
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: to play and remain at his elite level. But I

849
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: mean it's wide open after a b I I like

850
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: Tyroll Williams late in like the nineteenth round of re draft,

851
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 1: but there definitely is a lot of open opportunity for sure.

852
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: Here speaking of a b uh and you pointed this

853
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: out to that, you know, he's he's a special dude,

854
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: like he's kind of an individual onto himself, and the

855
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: fact that he has somehow connected with Richie Incognito, who's

856
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 1: like everybody's favorite NFL villain, I thought was kind of funny.

857
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: Lost he grown't even mentioned that. He's like, yeah, you know,

858
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: he's he's a different dude, but like he's good to

859
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: be around, and it seemed like he was pretty like

860
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: nice to everyone in the team, like going around like

861
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, high five people and talking everyone. But like

862
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: when he saw Richie Cognito, he was like jumped all

863
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: over and was like, oh, like they were all like

864
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: old friends, Like, oh, what's going on to you? Like

865
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: how's the team? Like everything here, like in the offense,

866
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: like this whole big conversation. I mean, again, the cameras

867
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: only show us certain things, so we don't know if

868
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: it does with everyone else. But I thought it's pretty

869
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: odd how like into Richie and community was, especially with

870
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: his track record. It feels like to me, the Raiders

871
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: have had a little bit of say over there. Think

872
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of say in this world. Yeah,

873
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: I tried to play tried to play it off, but

874
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: you're you're not missing words. They've they've they've definitely had

875
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: some some creative ability in the show, which has kind

876
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: of harmed it this right about that too. If you

877
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: notice there was a scene where they had a be

878
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: talking with Vonta's Perfect as well, So like trying to show,

879
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: like O like all these old beefs that they're all

880
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: squashed there. Everyone's fine, Dunc, don't worry. It's just if

881
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: I were a b that I couldn't squash. I mean,

882
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: I get there, I get their teammates, and maybe Abe

883
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: is a bigger person than I am. But after the

884
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: way Perfect is treated a be in the past and

885
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: the Steelers in the past, there's gotta be a little

886
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: bit about I mean, look, it doesn't it doesn't have

887
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: to be. You know, they don't have to be beef

888
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: between them, but it doesn't mean it's gonna have to

889
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: be all love like there's there's an in between there.

890
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Um, I keep coming back to this,

891
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: is Josh Jacob's an actual person? Does he? Where is he?

892
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: He's not? I have only seen him in what the

893
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: four carries he got in the preseason. That's it. That's it.

894
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: Like he I don't believe Josh Jacobs is a real person.

895
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: I think they just put a Jacob's jersey on somebody else,

896
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: maybe Jalen Richard or Jacob's jersey or something. I don't know.

897
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: Teams spend first round picks on running backs, and I

898
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: mean usually they get hyped up like crazy so much

899
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: it seems like a great storyline that they're just like

900
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: not really playing up. And Josh Jacobs has an incredible story. Dude.

901
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: He was homeless, straight up homeless, Like why why isn't

902
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: he getting propped up here? I don't know. I mean

903
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: my only thought is that maybe he just doesn't come

904
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: off well on camera or something like that. I don't,

905
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't think of why, because it's just

906
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: he's not He's not at all been a thing this

907
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: season of Hard Knocks, And if he doesn't come off

908
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: on even if he doesn't come off well on camera.

909
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: It's not like the Raiders have had a lot of

910
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: great personalities at least like the Browns and even the Bucks.

911
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: Like the Bucks had a few. Karl Nassa was hilarious

912
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: with his like his his financial planning advice. Yeah, and

913
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: then you this as well as I did. I don't

914
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: think John Gruden knows the Happy Birthday song. At first

915
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: sounding he just wanted to say the words happy. Then

916
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: the whole team like trited to try men and sing

917
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: along with him, and he just does not know the tune,

918
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: has never done it. That would be so funny if

919
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: Green just spent so much time and like team buildings

920
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: and watching football that he just like doesn't know something.

921
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Middles just like like a little thing. I mean because

922
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: like he's like singing and I'm like that that's not

923
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: at all how that song goes. Like I just thought

924
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: this was so awkward. I thought maybe just me, But

925
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: when you put that in there, I'm like, all right, cool,

926
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't just me. It's just is weird um. And

927
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: I think it reinforces that idea like football coaches who

928
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: want to be all in, who don't like like I

929
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: want you know Eddie, You'll remember this um when the

930
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: Giants introduced Ben McAdoo as the head coach and he

931
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,479
Speaker 1: came out in that suit that was like its way

932
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: too large for him. And I'm like, look, man, you're

933
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: a grown man. You were the head coach of a

934
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: professional football team, Like you can get a suit that fits.

935
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: And I got a lot of Twitter responses like so

936
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: worried about this team. I'm like, no, that's so funny.

937
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: You can spend like an hour to go take your

938
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: suit to a tailor and get it fixed and get

939
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: it like you're a grown up, Like stop wearing your

940
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: dad's closed. His his response is like something like that

941
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 1: he lost weight and like a couple of years ago

942
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: and hadn't you know the time since then? You're just

943
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: making too many plays to go to the store. And

944
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: I had the same take. I used to work at

945
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy grew dot com and it was talking with John

946
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Hanson about the same thing when this when it happened

947
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: when he was announced, and I made the point. I

948
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: was like, if you're a grown man and you can't

949
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: pick out a suit on your own, or you can't

950
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: dress yourself, like you cannot run a football, but you

951
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 1: can't be a leader of men if you can't get close,

952
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: if you can't dress yourself. Now, like you know, that's

953
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: a deal, Like it's fun, you know, just go just

954
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: take it into a tailor, Like, look, man, I've been

955
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: broke for a long time. Man. I found a tailor

956
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: around the corner from my apartment that like did stuff

957
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: for cheap and I ended up looking halfway decent, Like

958
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: you can figure this out. Um, So I don't know,

959
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think you know, there's that whole idea

960
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: that coaches just because they spend so much time and

961
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: they're always in the building and you know, like I

962
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: think it was like Jeff Tad for a while would

963
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: brag about having a cot in his office, and I'm like,

964
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like have a life. Don't you want

965
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: to go see your family? Like, have a life. It's fine,

966
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't have to do this. All that's I love

967
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: Bruce arians is take. I don't know if you guys

968
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: saw this, but um, maybe a couple of weeks ago

969
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: did an interview where he's like, I will fire anybody

970
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: that like misses some of their kids practices because I've

971
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: missed so many of my kids practices, and I don't

972
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: want any of the guys that work for me or

973
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: women that work for me um to miss time because

974
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: of you know, football constraints. Uh, there's no reason for that. No,

975
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: come back in and work late, Go have a life. Man,

976
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: It's fine. You're You're a human being like the rest

977
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: of us. So so we get one more or two

978
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: more episodes of hardness. It's five episodes. We get two more.

979
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: We are more than halfway done with this one. And

980
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: I still think that the consensus is that it just

981
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: has been a great season. It's just mad. It's not

982
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: been bad. I won't say it's been bad. I'm not

983
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: gonna bash. It's just been mad. I think because we

984
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: had expect we had the Browns, we had high expectations,

985
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 1: were like, hey, the Raiders, they have all these characters,

986
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great, and it just it just hasn't

987
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: quite lived up to that that hope. So I don't know.

988
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: So there we oh again. Reminder Monday, August eight pm

995
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,359

996
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: You can go check those out. I think there are

997
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: archived as well, so if you want to go back there,

998
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: they're all draft related show so there's nothing in there

999
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 1: that's really dated. So if you want to go back

1000
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: and watch the old ones, they are there for you

1001
