00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:02,919
Alright. Good morning, everybody or good evening or

00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,054
and this is always a fun 1 to

5
00:00:09,413 --> 00:00:11,583
into because I have my friend Dwayne Mc

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,891

00:00:33,616 --> 00:00:34,176
camp get here.

18
00:00:34,975 --> 00:00:36,263
Let's let things get cooking a little bit.

19
00:00:36,343 --> 00:00:38,093
But yeah, man. I'm always excited to come

00:00:39,524 --> 00:00:41,513
my favorite people on the planet. And

22
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:44,474
and it's just all, it's different. When I

23
00:00:44,474 --> 00:00:46,471
get to come on this show. I... I

24
00:00:46,471 --> 00:00:48,149
never know where you're going. Yeah. And I

25
00:00:48,149 --> 00:00:50,466
just... You know, So I enjoy that. It's

26
00:00:50,466 --> 00:00:51,825
kinda like, we just got go all over

27
00:00:51,825 --> 00:00:53,354
the say something Yeah. You know, we just

28
00:00:53,354 --> 00:00:55,744
talk football. So... Yeah. What better way to

29
00:00:55,744 --> 00:00:57,338
to start a Saturday. Right. And just to

30
00:00:57,338 --> 00:00:58,692
give you a little behind the scenes, like,

31
00:00:58,852 --> 00:00:58,931
we...

32
00:00:59,887 --> 00:01:02,132
You know, normally, people give you, like, a

33
00:01:02,132 --> 00:01:04,297
list of stuff, and, you know? And and

34
00:01:04,987 --> 00:01:08,080
and I I was, like, about 20 minutes

35
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,078
before the show's about start. I'll send a

36
00:01:10,078 --> 00:01:10,714
link on x...

37
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:12,703
And then I didn't tell him I gonna

38
00:01:12,703 --> 00:01:14,772
write up questions. I wrote up about 7

39
00:01:14,772 --> 00:01:16,284
or 8 questions. And and then I said,

40
00:01:16,363 --> 00:01:18,375
you know, we could just it too. And

41
00:01:18,375 --> 00:01:20,215
and I... And we're just gonna treat kinda

42
00:01:20,215 --> 00:01:21,734
more like 1 of our phone calls and

43
00:01:21,734 --> 00:01:23,575
some of the topics we talk about that

44
00:01:23,575 --> 00:01:25,150
don't need to be on air. But

45
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:28,170
but just be boring probably for everybody. But

46
00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:29,829
we are gonna start with 1 of them.

47
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:31,909
And I think because there was 1 that

48
00:01:31,989 --> 00:01:33,290
Duane liked this, Who

49
00:01:33,843 --> 00:01:37,661
doesn't really fit the profile. Whatever the profile

50
00:01:37,661 --> 00:01:39,673
is for you from any angle

51
00:01:40,366 --> 00:01:41,439
that you believe

52
00:01:42,138 --> 00:01:44,615
is important for to say this guy could

53
00:01:44,615 --> 00:01:46,213
have a career year.

54
00:01:47,092 --> 00:01:49,902
But you still are excited about them and

55
00:01:49,902 --> 00:01:50,460
tell us why.

56
00:01:52,215 --> 00:01:54,370
Yeah. So it this... This was a mind

57
00:01:54,370 --> 00:01:56,537
man thinking of this question this way because

58
00:01:56,537 --> 00:01:58,207
the way I create my ranks and my

59
00:01:58,207 --> 00:02:00,353
tiers is it's really based on all the

60
00:02:00,353 --> 00:02:01,704
things. Right? You've got talent,

61
00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:04,089
then you've got really the situation that they're

62
00:02:04,089 --> 00:02:05,655
in. So if you're if you're wider seat

63
00:02:05,774 --> 00:02:08,078
like your quarterback play is gonna matter. The

64
00:02:08,078 --> 00:02:10,303
other teammates you've gotta compete with for targets

65
00:02:10,303 --> 00:02:12,289
that's going to matter. The scheme that you

66
00:02:12,289 --> 00:02:14,275
get to play in, that's also gonna matter.

67
00:02:14,609 --> 00:02:16,607
So depending on the position, like, I'm trying

68
00:02:16,607 --> 00:02:18,604
to look across all of those things. So

69
00:02:18,764 --> 00:02:20,761
I always think of them, you know, some

70
00:02:20,761 --> 00:02:23,413
some prospects kinda get perfect grade. Right? They're...

71
00:02:23,652 --> 00:02:24,851
They they check all the boxes.

72
00:02:25,490 --> 00:02:26,688
And you guys know who they are and

73
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:28,206
generally, the market has those right. They go

74
00:02:28,206 --> 00:02:29,665
in rounds 1 and 2 of fantasy

75
00:02:29,978 --> 00:02:30,058
Right?

76
00:02:30,854 --> 00:02:33,026
Then there's, like, you get down to these

77
00:02:33,083 --> 00:02:35,233
combinations. Oh, has the talent not in the

78
00:02:35,233 --> 00:02:37,223
best situation though. And then you have the

79
00:02:37,223 --> 00:02:38,990
others where you're, man I don't really like

80
00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:39,468
this guy.

81
00:02:40,424 --> 00:02:42,597
But, like, it's hard to argue with his

82
00:02:42,735 --> 00:02:44,965
situation and the opportunity, And I'll start with

83
00:02:44,965 --> 00:02:47,037
that going from that angle. And I think

84
00:02:47,037 --> 00:02:48,561
anytime you're gonna thing from that angle,

85
00:02:49,275 --> 00:02:50,703
you really need to go with running back.

86
00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:53,241
Right? Because I believe with wide receiver,

87
00:02:53,797 --> 00:02:56,123
there is still a El that, like, you

88
00:02:56,123 --> 00:02:57,901
have to have a pre... A prerequisite

89
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:00,117
level that even if you get on the

90
00:03:00,117 --> 00:03:01,955
field and your coach says, we're gonna play

91
00:03:01,955 --> 00:03:04,043
you percent of the snaps tomorrow. If you're

92
00:03:04,043 --> 00:03:04,681
not good,

93
00:03:05,558 --> 00:03:07,710
there the quarterback not targeting you because you're

94
00:03:07,710 --> 00:03:08,906
not gonna be able to get open. There's

95
00:03:08,906 --> 00:03:10,500
all these other steps you have to take

96
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,589
that prerequisite to getting the football, being on

97
00:03:12,589 --> 00:03:14,104
the same page with the quarterback, all those

98
00:03:14,104 --> 00:03:15,859
things. They've got trust you but running back.

99
00:03:16,497 --> 00:03:19,049
Not saying skill doesn't matter here, but if

100
00:03:19,049 --> 00:03:20,405
you're the starter and you're gonna get the

101
00:03:20,405 --> 00:03:22,098
ball, they turn and hand the ball you

102
00:03:22,098 --> 00:03:24,415
and then 10 other players, mainly 9 other

103
00:03:24,415 --> 00:03:26,653
players, they've got a job to do to

104
00:03:26,653 --> 00:03:28,570
try to help you do your job. So

105
00:03:28,570 --> 00:03:30,579
there's still you still need a good offensive

106
00:03:30,579 --> 00:03:31,773
line in those things, but the balls in

107
00:03:31,773 --> 00:03:33,524
your hands. You don't have to earn the

108
00:03:33,524 --> 00:03:35,991
target. So the player for me that, like,

109
00:03:36,071 --> 00:03:37,758
when I look at that, like, thinking of

110
00:03:37,758 --> 00:03:39,989
it from that angle is is Joe Mix.

111
00:03:40,627 --> 00:03:43,677
Because Joe Mix Skill set has clearly deteriorated

112
00:03:43,894 --> 00:03:45,742
over the last couple of. I think you

113
00:03:45,742 --> 00:03:47,177
see it on the film. You you can

114
00:03:47,177 --> 00:03:49,011
speak to that level, but you also see

115
00:03:49,011 --> 00:03:50,765
it in the data points. I know yards

116
00:03:50,765 --> 00:03:52,758
after contact aren't in a perfect stat, and

117
00:03:52,758 --> 00:03:54,786
you've talked a lot about like, the the

118
00:03:54,922 --> 00:03:57,067
variations of what your effort context should be,

119
00:03:57,385 --> 00:03:59,371
and I totally agree with that. But at

120
00:03:59,371 --> 00:04:00,801
at the high level, it is still 1

121
00:04:00,801 --> 00:04:03,040
of the stick metrics year over or 2

122
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,626
running back. So we know they have some

123
00:04:04,626 --> 00:04:06,846
level of of really owning that stat. You

124
00:04:06,846 --> 00:04:08,353
know Ian Hard has a cool stat with

125
00:04:08,353 --> 00:04:10,256
it where he says, the number of times

126
00:04:10,256 --> 00:04:12,257
they had at least 2 yards after contact.

127
00:04:12,495 --> 00:04:14,323
Their percentage of their runs, which is more

128
00:04:14,323 --> 00:04:16,229
probably akin to, like, my guess of how

129
00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:17,993
you would probably try to. But at a

130
00:04:17,993 --> 00:04:19,824
stat like that, Matt. But and you look

131
00:04:19,824 --> 00:04:21,098
at the miss tackle force, all those things.

132
00:04:21,257 --> 00:04:23,088
They're all down for Joe Nixon. He's at

133
00:04:23,088 --> 00:04:24,600
the age where we know the cliff could

134
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,850
be there, but then I look at the

135
00:04:25,970 --> 00:04:27,990
offense. I'm like, okay. We've got Bobby slow

136
00:04:28,449 --> 00:04:31,009
from the Kyle Shana tree. We've got a

137
00:04:31,009 --> 00:04:33,330
loaded offense with all these weapons that should

138
00:04:33,330 --> 00:04:34,863
move the up and down the field with

139
00:04:35,023 --> 00:04:38,059
Nico Collins, Stefan D, Tank Del, Dalton Schultz.

140
00:04:38,298 --> 00:04:40,476
I mean, this is a who's who's list

141
00:04:40,535 --> 00:04:42,864
of of fan S stars. Like, this... If

142
00:04:42,944 --> 00:04:44,938
Cj j Str doesn't reg progress in year

143
00:04:44,938 --> 00:04:46,612
2, which is even if he reg regrets

144
00:04:46,612 --> 00:04:47,968
some because he had a really good rookie

145
00:04:47,968 --> 00:04:48,287
season,

146
00:04:48,845 --> 00:04:51,173
like, this offense just scored a ton of

147
00:04:51,173 --> 00:04:53,485
touchdown. And we know that in this play

148
00:04:53,485 --> 00:04:55,319
style of offense even though they... They may

149
00:04:55,319 --> 00:04:57,812
they may air out more than a 49

150
00:04:57,950 --> 00:04:58,109
offense,

151
00:04:58,907 --> 00:05:00,677
they could also run it. Plenty inside the

152
00:05:00,677 --> 00:05:02,353
5. Look at Mike mc and what they

153
00:05:02,353 --> 00:05:03,710
did last year with Ro he Mo,

154
00:05:04,348 --> 00:05:05,865
look what they did with h chan. Now,

155
00:05:06,104 --> 00:05:08,512
obviously, Nixon doesn't grade out as well as

156
00:05:08,512 --> 00:05:10,341
those players like in the efficiency buckets.

157
00:05:10,898 --> 00:05:12,965
But like, he's still a bigger body back

158
00:05:12,965 --> 00:05:14,317
that can punch it in once you get

159
00:05:14,317 --> 00:05:16,067
down inside the 5. So I could see

160
00:05:16,146 --> 00:05:18,110
Joe Nixon being like that Curtis mark

161
00:05:19,107 --> 00:05:21,499
late career jet season, and and nixon is

162
00:05:21,499 --> 00:05:22,855
not as old as Martin was by the

163
00:05:22,855 --> 00:05:24,849
way when that occurred for him. But I

164
00:05:24,849 --> 00:05:26,444
could see that kind of season for Joe

165
00:05:26,604 --> 00:05:28,451
Nixon. So there's part of his file this

166
00:05:28,451 --> 00:05:29,720
says, man. This is not the type of

167
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,543
back. I'm normally interested. But when I look

168
00:05:31,543 --> 00:05:32,336
at this offense.

169
00:05:32,970 --> 00:05:34,318
And the 1 other thing I'll say here

170
00:05:34,318 --> 00:05:34,476
is,

171
00:05:35,507 --> 00:05:35,800
efficiency

172
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:39,519
doesn't always lead to more opportunities and less

173
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:42,879
efficiency doesn't lead to less opportunities. Coaches, there

174
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:44,813
is something going on. That we don't have

175
00:05:44,813 --> 00:05:48,328
in our spreadsheets that determines running back peck

176
00:05:48,328 --> 00:05:50,325
orders, how often they're willing to put these

177
00:05:50,325 --> 00:05:51,937
players on them the field. Now every coach

178
00:05:51,937 --> 00:05:54,090
is different. Some may lean more to guys

179
00:05:54,090 --> 00:05:56,164
that are efficient, but there's definitely across the

180
00:05:56,164 --> 00:05:58,477
league of thing I've noticed and studying this

181
00:05:58,477 --> 00:06:01,361
data. It's like, there's just guys they trust.

182
00:06:01,757 --> 00:06:03,897
Yeah. On all the downs. And Mix is

183
00:06:03,897 --> 00:06:05,642
1 of the players that over the last

184
00:06:05,642 --> 00:06:07,624
4 to 5 years, his coaching staffs have

185
00:06:07,624 --> 00:06:10,101
trusted him and and all situations and I

186
00:06:10,101 --> 00:06:11,453
look at this step chart and while, like,

187
00:06:11,692 --> 00:06:13,999
III still have some hope for Damian Peers.

188
00:06:14,556 --> 00:06:16,004
I I don't think you can call a

189
00:06:16,004 --> 00:06:16,564
threat. Right?

190
00:06:17,365 --> 00:06:19,125
Jo Jordan, like, I think there's some things

191
00:06:19,125 --> 00:06:20,404
to like, but I wouldn't call him a

192
00:06:20,404 --> 00:06:22,964
threat to nixon. So I I... That would

193
00:06:22,964 --> 00:06:23,524
be 1 for me.

194
00:06:24,419 --> 00:06:26,337
A late career... You know, what is mix

195
00:06:26,337 --> 00:06:28,734
in this year? Mix is gonna be 28.

196
00:06:28,814 --> 00:06:30,012
Or is it gonna be 29.

197
00:06:31,690 --> 00:06:33,785
He's right. He's gonna be 28 when the

198
00:06:33,785 --> 00:06:35,464
season starts. 28.1

199
00:06:35,464 --> 00:06:36,345
when the season starts.

200
00:06:37,225 --> 00:06:38,584
So, yeah. I mean, this will be a...

201
00:06:38,665 --> 00:06:40,105
It wouldn't be as late as Curtis Martin,

202
00:06:40,345 --> 00:06:42,197
but you don't expect running back to have

203
00:06:42,197 --> 00:06:43,872
their career year at age 28. So I

204
00:06:43,872 --> 00:06:45,626
just gotta ask you when you're, like, you

205
00:06:45,626 --> 00:06:47,460
know, out of the social event with your

206
00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:49,953
friends hanging out and you say, it's Land

207
00:06:50,250 --> 00:06:53,377
birthday. Do you say, like, he's like, 20.3?

208
00:06:54,573 --> 00:06:56,887
Yeah. Okay. Yeah I don't say Land be,

209
00:06:58,178 --> 00:06:59,612
B 28.3

210
00:06:59,612 --> 00:07:01,286
at... You know, the 3 quarter mark of

211
00:07:01,286 --> 00:07:03,199
the Nfl season. No. I don't face stupid

212
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:04,713
stuff like that. I don't know why I

213
00:07:04,713 --> 00:07:06,562
set a stupid thing like just now I

214
00:07:06,562 --> 00:07:07,997
did. I just thought I was looking at

215
00:07:07,997 --> 00:07:10,948
a spreadsheet. Yeah. That works. That works. I

216
00:07:11,108 --> 00:07:13,102
I like the Joe mix call and and

217
00:07:13,102 --> 00:07:14,538
it's fun to talk about some of the

218
00:07:14,538 --> 00:07:15,550
data point because

219
00:07:16,226 --> 00:07:18,056
when you talk about yards your yards after

220
00:07:18,056 --> 00:07:19,648
contact. I think for me what it's about

221
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:21,501
is I'd like to differentiate

222
00:07:22,115 --> 00:07:22,615
elusive

223
00:07:23,309 --> 00:07:26,513
from power or contact balance. Mh. Because, like,

224
00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:29,390
S juan Barkley, I've often written about the

225
00:07:29,390 --> 00:07:31,547
difference between say S juan Barkley and Nick

226
00:07:31,707 --> 00:07:34,039
Chu and how Barclay get the slap on

227
00:07:34,039 --> 00:07:35,951
the thigh pad and go for 75, but

228
00:07:36,031 --> 00:07:36,987
Chu would have to, like,

229
00:07:38,023 --> 00:07:38,523
basically

230
00:07:39,139 --> 00:07:42,185
remove a defensive tackle from his from his

231
00:07:42,185 --> 00:07:44,745
chest, you know, at the whole and get

232
00:07:44,745 --> 00:07:46,524
5, which one's more valuable

233
00:07:46,904 --> 00:07:48,904
display of power because I'm approaching from a

234
00:07:48,904 --> 00:07:50,824
sprouts perspective of how I wanna parse it

235
00:07:50,824 --> 00:07:52,360
out. So So I agree with, you know,

236
00:07:52,439 --> 00:07:55,080
it totally makes sense that that still has

237
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,240
value the way it's measured in the mass

238
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,400
media. It's just that one's may be more

239
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,735
of an expression of elusive

240
00:08:01,490 --> 00:08:03,637
and 1 is... And and it's the outcome.

241
00:08:03,876 --> 00:08:05,466
But I guess the board is it lights...

242
00:08:06,102 --> 00:08:07,613
If it was... If if you if you

243
00:08:07,613 --> 00:08:09,203
had someone to chart all that stuff full

244
00:08:09,203 --> 00:08:10,888
time for you all the time, like like,

245
00:08:11,206 --> 00:08:13,190
you might... I think you're probably onto something

246
00:08:13,190 --> 00:08:14,381
with a lot of those things. We might

247
00:08:14,381 --> 00:08:16,604
find that they're actually more sticky year over

248
00:08:16,604 --> 00:08:17,715
year when we think about them.

249
00:08:18,604 --> 00:08:20,841
From that lens rather than the overall lens.

250
00:08:21,161 --> 00:08:22,519
Probably some of the noise we get in

251
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:24,196
those data points, like, comes to some of

252
00:08:24,196 --> 00:08:25,807
the issues you're talking about And and we're

253
00:08:25,807 --> 00:08:27,554
working that on that in the background here.

254
00:08:27,793 --> 00:08:29,857
We got a hamster going in the background

255
00:08:29,857 --> 00:08:31,684
on the wheel kind of trying to to

256
00:08:31,684 --> 00:08:33,748
work through some of that. I've got, like

257
00:08:33,748 --> 00:08:35,986
3 hamster over here. See. Stand up your

258
00:08:35,986 --> 00:08:37,970
game. I... I'm good. But I do have...

259
00:08:38,287 --> 00:08:39,874
I do have something worthwhile Chasing in the

260
00:08:39,954 --> 00:08:41,009
Hamster. So

261
00:08:41,382 --> 00:08:41,461
I...

262
00:08:42,493 --> 00:08:43,128
Yeah. You do.

263
00:08:43,779 --> 00:08:44,279
So

264
00:08:44,738 --> 00:08:47,055
actually extra should just forget it. Your hampshire

265
00:08:47,055 --> 00:08:48,194
gonna die. He

266
00:08:48,733 --> 00:08:50,410
I don't know. He he hung out with

267
00:08:50,410 --> 00:08:52,257
a baby deer this week or a couple

268
00:08:52,257 --> 00:08:54,005
weeks ago that came up to him and

269
00:08:54,005 --> 00:08:56,627
said mama, and and n up against him

270
00:08:56,627 --> 00:08:58,851
and considering had a standoff with 1, like,

271
00:08:59,010 --> 00:09:01,016
3 weeks ago. That was a mature deer.

272
00:09:02,212 --> 00:09:04,445
I was pleasantly surprised that he had a

273
00:09:04,525 --> 00:09:05,721
Disney princess moment.

274
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:06,779
So

275
00:09:07,236 --> 00:09:09,563
so you just never know. But but Yeah.

276
00:09:09,722 --> 00:09:10,995
I mean, I like the... I like the

277
00:09:10,995 --> 00:09:13,620
mix in 1. It makes sense. He's reliable

278
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:14,893
in terms of the playbook. He may no

279
00:09:14,893 --> 00:09:16,006
longer have the explosion.

280
00:09:16,499 --> 00:09:17,297
That he once had.

281
00:09:18,573 --> 00:09:20,886
And so I think that that may lead

282
00:09:20,886 --> 00:09:22,321
into some of it. I think for me,

283
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,315
I'm gonna go... I'm gonna take my chances

284
00:09:24,315 --> 00:09:25,591
and pick a wide receiver here.

285
00:09:26,482 --> 00:09:27,753
Because 1 of the things that I've been

286
00:09:27,753 --> 00:09:30,692
looking at recently dwayne at over it at

287
00:09:30,692 --> 00:09:33,075
football guys is, what are good hands and

288
00:09:33,075 --> 00:09:34,290
taking some of the Rs

289
00:09:34,918 --> 00:09:37,627
data that I have have collected from, you

290
00:09:37,627 --> 00:09:40,336
know, measuring prospects and seeing if there's a

291
00:09:40,336 --> 00:09:41,314
correlation between

292
00:09:42,502 --> 00:09:45,050
the techniques that they used to catch the

293
00:09:45,050 --> 00:09:47,677
football and fantasy tiers. You know? So I

294
00:09:47,677 --> 00:09:49,907
took, like, 6 years of data, I looked

295
00:09:49,907 --> 00:09:51,749
at about the top 75

296
00:09:51,749 --> 00:09:52,939
over the past 6 years,

297
00:09:54,208 --> 00:09:56,350
you know, the top 75 for each year

298
00:09:56,350 --> 00:09:58,175
over the past 6 years. And just looked

299
00:09:58,175 --> 00:10:00,583
at at. And what I discovered was, like,

300
00:10:00,902 --> 00:10:02,900
they're elite players, players in the top 3

301
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:04,019
and a 12 team league.

302
00:10:05,138 --> 00:10:07,775
94 percent of the time, they attacked the

303
00:10:07,775 --> 00:10:08,789
ball. They

304
00:10:09,389 --> 00:10:11,306
they're... The way you would grade them, their

305
00:10:11,306 --> 00:10:13,085
attack of the football and the Rs

306
00:10:13,544 --> 00:10:16,660
was consistently strong. Like, they used the correct

307
00:10:16,660 --> 00:10:18,674
position with it their hands, and their hands

308
00:10:18,674 --> 00:10:21,554
were tight. They approached it according to the

309
00:10:21,554 --> 00:10:22,995
type of trajectory of the target.

310
00:10:23,554 --> 00:10:26,034
And only 1 player out of the 6

311
00:10:26,034 --> 00:10:26,355
years,

312
00:10:27,009 --> 00:10:29,105
actually had showed any lapses

313
00:10:29,723 --> 00:10:32,118
with that on his record, and that was

314
00:10:32,197 --> 00:10:32,836
Cd lamb.

315
00:10:33,634 --> 00:10:35,870
No 1 had serial flaws. Like, you know,

316
00:10:36,921 --> 00:10:39,550
Quentin Johnston last year, who, like, you know,

317
00:10:39,709 --> 00:10:41,941
didn't. You know, Yeah. The clap attack, the

318
00:10:42,020 --> 00:10:43,708
Ricky Bobby, I don't know which way to

319
00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:45,853
use my hands kind of thing on on

320
00:10:45,853 --> 00:10:46,409
the target.

321
00:10:46,965 --> 00:10:49,348
So, you know, looking at that, and and

322
00:10:49,348 --> 00:10:50,619
then, you know, look... And then you could

323
00:10:50,619 --> 00:10:52,367
see what the tiers, like, the the top...

324
00:10:52,764 --> 00:10:55,503
Why receiver 1, that good hands

325
00:10:56,195 --> 00:10:59,055
value dropped from 94 to 82 percent. And

326
00:10:59,055 --> 00:11:01,215
then to wide receiver 2, it dropped to

327
00:11:01,215 --> 00:11:04,157
58 percent. And wide received 3 it held

328
00:11:04,157 --> 00:11:06,621
at 58 percent, but the number of serial

329
00:11:06,621 --> 00:11:09,897
laps doubled. So went from, like, you know,

330
00:11:10,056 --> 00:11:12,841
the Quentin Johnston like behavior at why receiver

331
00:11:12,841 --> 00:11:14,194
two's had at 8 percent of the time.

332
00:11:14,432 --> 00:11:16,899
Why receiver ones didn't have didn't have any

333
00:11:16,899 --> 00:11:17,558
of that

334
00:11:17,948 --> 00:11:19,935
nor did elite players. But why receiver your

335
00:11:19,935 --> 00:11:21,922
threes had 17 percent of the time. So

336
00:11:21,922 --> 00:11:24,226
what you're seeing is that, like, the hands

337
00:11:24,226 --> 00:11:26,292
get less reliable in terms of the very,

338
00:11:26,531 --> 00:11:29,410
you know, know, fundamental thing that you wanna

339
00:11:29,410 --> 00:11:32,116
see with attacking the football. And then this

340
00:11:32,116 --> 00:11:33,650
week, I looked at, like, tracking

341
00:11:34,264 --> 00:11:35,162
after contact,

342
00:11:35,935 --> 00:11:37,628
and and tight coverage. And I found that,

343
00:11:37,708 --> 00:11:40,505
like, after contact and tight coverage weren't as

344
00:11:40,505 --> 00:11:41,005
meaningful

345
00:11:41,863 --> 00:11:44,101
as just the pure... Are your hands in

346
00:11:44,101 --> 00:11:46,347
the the best position to catch the football.

347
00:11:46,982 --> 00:11:49,443
And then tracking was interesting because, like,

348
00:11:50,158 --> 00:11:51,587
tracking is 1 of those things where you

349
00:11:51,587 --> 00:11:53,573
look at and you realize that, like, if

350
00:11:53,573 --> 00:11:54,446
they don't have this,

351
00:11:55,417 --> 00:11:57,329
they're kind of... They're fucking in trouble. Like,

352
00:11:57,648 --> 00:11:59,321
it's just like they don't get it later

353
00:11:59,879 --> 00:12:01,791
It's it's hard to do, like, the loan

354
00:12:01,791 --> 00:12:03,419
except... 1 the loan exceptions

355
00:12:04,267 --> 00:12:06,670
who had serial flaws doing it was da

356
00:12:06,804 --> 00:12:07,121
Adams.

357
00:12:07,677 --> 00:12:09,342
And he was a little slow to start

358
00:12:09,342 --> 00:12:11,261
his career too for a number of reasons,

359
00:12:11,737 --> 00:12:13,562
mainly route running, which we'll look at down

360
00:12:13,562 --> 00:12:15,545
the line. But the player who kind of,

361
00:12:15,704 --> 00:12:18,343
like, I look and go, he's got flaws

362
00:12:18,343 --> 00:12:21,137
with tracking the football. He's got... He he's

363
00:12:21,137 --> 00:12:24,011
had flaws with using his hands right, but

364
00:12:24,091 --> 00:12:26,246
I like what he does overall and he

365
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:27,718
has big mom months

366
00:12:28,249 --> 00:12:29,120
is Garrett Wilson.

367
00:12:29,913 --> 00:12:31,523
When you watch Garrett Wilson

368
00:12:33,163 --> 00:12:33,559
play,

369
00:12:34,034 --> 00:12:35,874
I I feel like there's a part of

370
00:12:35,874 --> 00:12:36,588
me that's, like,

371
00:12:37,302 --> 00:12:39,524
I wanted to put him as like a

372
00:12:39,524 --> 00:12:42,958
top 5 receiver. If Aaron Roger can stay

373
00:12:42,958 --> 00:12:44,098
upright and

374
00:12:44,557 --> 00:12:46,155
stay out of his own way, which I

375
00:12:46,155 --> 00:12:48,153
think he's managed to do on the football

376
00:12:48,153 --> 00:12:50,391
field for the most part for his career

377
00:12:50,391 --> 00:12:52,242
regardless of what people think of off the

378
00:12:52,242 --> 00:12:52,400
field.

379
00:12:54,308 --> 00:12:56,136
And if the offensive line can hold up,

380
00:12:56,294 --> 00:12:57,407
which is a big if with a lot

381
00:12:57,407 --> 00:12:58,599
of these guys on paper.

382
00:13:00,188 --> 00:13:00,688
But

383
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,639
But looking at Wilson, he hasn't had a

384
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:06,759
re... A quarterback of Aaron Rogers skill. He

385
00:13:06,759 --> 00:13:09,080
also hasn't had a quarterback of Aaron Roger

386
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,033
Skill who would expect him

387
00:13:11,492 --> 00:13:12,791
to make the plays

388
00:13:13,170 --> 00:13:14,847
on a level of volume that he's gonna

389
00:13:14,847 --> 00:13:17,259
be expected to make, I think in terms

390
00:13:17,259 --> 00:13:17,759
of

391
00:13:18,138 --> 00:13:18,638
contact,

392
00:13:19,097 --> 00:13:22,214
tight coverage, different odd angles. Things that are

393
00:13:22,214 --> 00:13:24,931
gonna maybe test how you place your hands

394
00:13:24,931 --> 00:13:25,990
on the football

395
00:13:26,304 --> 00:13:28,295
with tight coverage around you. And it doesn't...

396
00:13:28,454 --> 00:13:30,206
And if I look at, like, his profile,

397
00:13:30,684 --> 00:13:32,436
I would say he hasn't been tested enough

398
00:13:32,436 --> 00:13:35,039
for me to feel like he's completely past

399
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:36,294
his pre draft

400
00:13:37,145 --> 00:13:39,211
evaluation. Even though he's... There's so many things

401
00:13:39,211 --> 00:13:40,801
he's done well, and I had a had

402
00:13:40,801 --> 00:13:42,072
a high rating form.

403
00:13:42,724 --> 00:13:44,477
But it's hard to grade him when you

404
00:13:44,477 --> 00:13:46,152
watch them because Zach Wilson was so terrible.

405
00:13:46,391 --> 00:13:48,065
Exactly I mean I've I've I've I've watched

406
00:13:48,065 --> 00:13:50,377
every target from Garrett Wilson, I've probably multiple

407
00:13:50,377 --> 00:13:53,092
times. Point over the last 2 years. It's

408
00:13:53,092 --> 00:13:55,076
a hard watch from a quarter standpoint.

409
00:13:55,552 --> 00:13:57,377
Exactly. So you'd... So you look and go,

410
00:13:57,615 --> 00:13:59,640
Natalie is gonna have a guy that's gonna

411
00:13:59,697 --> 00:14:01,287
at least put them to the standard of

412
00:14:01,287 --> 00:14:03,753
what a, a top my receiver should look

413
00:14:03,753 --> 00:14:06,638
like. Can he meet that, that's the big

414
00:14:06,638 --> 00:14:08,396
question. And at first, I had on I

415
00:14:08,396 --> 00:14:10,793
think number 4 number 5 on my board.

416
00:14:11,992 --> 00:14:14,644
And then after doing this, work, I looking

417
00:14:14,644 --> 00:14:16,719
at his track record. I thought, maybe that's

418
00:14:16,719 --> 00:14:19,433
a little that's a little too aggressive for

419
00:14:19,433 --> 00:14:21,029
a player that I'm looking at that, you

420
00:14:21,029 --> 00:14:22,625
know, I can get probably as a low

421
00:14:22,625 --> 00:14:24,627
end why receiver 1 high and wide receiver

422
00:14:24,627 --> 00:14:26,851
2 in terms of value, and maybe I

423
00:14:26,851 --> 00:14:28,439
should just keep it that way and not

424
00:14:28,439 --> 00:14:30,743
be as bullish on him. And let me

425
00:14:30,743 --> 00:14:33,783
ask you something did by chance Dia Johnson

426
00:14:33,783 --> 00:14:34,662
have similar issues.

427
00:14:35,461 --> 00:14:36,579
Dia Johnson.

428
00:14:37,298 --> 00:14:39,056
Of what you're talking about here Wilson He

429
00:14:39,056 --> 00:14:41,861
did and so he... Because that's that's my

430
00:14:41,861 --> 00:14:43,773
low end comp for garrett Wilson. Yeah. Like,

431
00:14:43,853 --> 00:14:46,243
if things don't go right. Maybe which... And

432
00:14:46,243 --> 00:14:47,916
which is a bad. Like, Y'all think Johnson

433
00:14:47,916 --> 00:14:49,485
still has had a y receiver 1 finish

434
00:14:49,524 --> 00:14:50,824
on his resume. But

435
00:14:51,362 --> 00:14:53,280
what's funny is the comp I gave for

436
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,358
his high end is he's this year Cd

437
00:14:55,358 --> 00:14:56,956
lamb. Yeah. He's the guy by taking at

438
00:14:56,956 --> 00:14:58,970
the end around 1 that finishes as the

439
00:14:58,970 --> 00:15:01,290
wide receiver 1 overall. The low end comp

440
00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:03,769
is Dia Johnson, This guy that's earned all

441
00:15:03,769 --> 00:15:05,610
these targets all through his career, but for

442
00:15:05,610 --> 00:15:07,530
1 reason or another, and it could be

443
00:15:07,530 --> 00:15:09,752
mostly quarterback related. But if it's not,

444
00:15:10,625 --> 00:15:12,133
then, like, he's a guy that can earn

445
00:15:12,133 --> 00:15:14,618
targets, but does it ever truly translate into

446
00:15:14,618 --> 00:15:16,856
major fantasy points. And he's some sort of

447
00:15:16,856 --> 00:15:18,934
disconnect there. He did. He had trouble with

448
00:15:18,934 --> 00:15:20,452
where he used his hands. He even had

449
00:15:20,452 --> 00:15:21,891
trouble with tracking the ball. 1 of the

450
00:15:21,891 --> 00:15:23,824
things that was much public eyes about him

451
00:15:23,824 --> 00:15:25,502
is how much he worked with tennis balls,

452
00:15:26,061 --> 00:15:27,899
catching tennis balls as a drill and he

453
00:15:27,899 --> 00:15:29,577
does it all the time, and that it

454
00:15:29,577 --> 00:15:31,495
improved. But the thing is with players who...

455
00:15:31,735 --> 00:15:34,373
What I'm looking at just overview from the

456
00:15:34,373 --> 00:15:36,144
data that I'm accumulating

457
00:15:36,995 --> 00:15:37,495
is

458
00:15:38,027 --> 00:15:40,093
I'm starting to develop a theory that... And

459
00:15:40,172 --> 00:15:41,701
I think just kinda more of a common

460
00:15:41,701 --> 00:15:44,494
sense thing is that players who have it

461
00:15:44,494 --> 00:15:47,366
have had, like, cereal flaws or lapses. And

462
00:15:47,526 --> 00:15:50,413
I'd put like, I've noted guys that I'd

463
00:15:50,413 --> 00:15:52,088
track that way in the Rs, who I've

464
00:15:52,088 --> 00:15:53,843
seen them improve enough that they're no longer.

465
00:15:54,162 --> 00:15:56,169
Maybe they have lapses set of cereal flaws

466
00:15:56,169 --> 00:15:58,080
or maybe they don't have lapses anymore. Like

467
00:15:58,159 --> 00:15:59,911
Cd lam 1 of those guys. He he

468
00:15:59,911 --> 00:16:01,821
doesn't have that many laps. He doesn't have

469
00:16:01,821 --> 00:16:04,070
enough for me to qualify a lapses laps.

470
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:04,389
But

471
00:16:05,190 --> 00:16:07,690
but they can easily reg progress

472
00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:09,830
more often than a guy who's done it

473
00:16:09,830 --> 00:16:12,205
perfectly for a long time, you know, or

474
00:16:12,325 --> 00:16:14,485
done it well enough that they don't qualify

475
00:16:14,485 --> 00:16:16,085
that regard. So I wonder if a guy

476
00:16:16,085 --> 00:16:18,245
like Johnson, I feel like I've seen enough

477
00:16:18,245 --> 00:16:19,936
with him where you had a good here

478
00:16:19,936 --> 00:16:22,162
that he had some lapses. And so I

479
00:16:22,162 --> 00:16:24,309
wonder, you know, that's kinda where I wonder

480
00:16:24,309 --> 00:16:24,548
with

481
00:16:25,343 --> 00:16:25,979
with Wilson.

482
00:16:26,775 --> 00:16:28,445
Is there a guy that maybe it's the

483
00:16:28,445 --> 00:16:31,173
opposite for you like, everything doesn't look all

484
00:16:31,173 --> 00:16:31,732
that great.

485
00:16:32,451 --> 00:16:35,488
Everything looks great, but you're like, yeah,

486
00:16:36,207 --> 00:16:37,006
not so sure.

487
00:16:38,045 --> 00:16:40,130
Yeah. I mean, not 1 where everything looks

488
00:16:40,130 --> 00:16:41,481
great because if they do, they're at the

489
00:16:41,481 --> 00:16:43,548
top of my board. Sure. But if we

490
00:16:43,548 --> 00:16:45,161
wanna kinda go down,

491
00:16:45,614 --> 00:16:47,697
you know, the the the talent profile where

492
00:16:47,856 --> 00:16:49,845
I think there's a player that I think

493
00:16:49,845 --> 00:16:52,072
is really talented, but I I worry the

494
00:16:52,072 --> 00:16:53,584
situation is gonna hold them down this year.

495
00:16:54,538 --> 00:16:56,625
I think it's Josh downs for the c.

496
00:16:56,785 --> 00:16:59,098
Like, I I really like Josh downs, especially

497
00:16:59,098 --> 00:17:01,650
early last year. So before as before his

498
00:17:01,650 --> 00:17:03,006
knee injury in week 9,

499
00:17:03,724 --> 00:17:05,654
he had a 21 percent target sure he

500
00:17:05,654 --> 00:17:07,412
was averaging 12 and a half fantasy points

501
00:17:07,412 --> 00:17:09,410
per game and a P. And this guy

502
00:17:09,410 --> 00:17:11,009
that wasn't even getting on the field for

503
00:17:11,009 --> 00:17:12,767
85 or 90 percent of the place. Right?

504
00:17:13,486 --> 00:17:15,140
Because he was playing from the slot. And

505
00:17:15,737 --> 00:17:17,013
so when I look at this offense for

506
00:17:17,013 --> 00:17:18,607
the c overall I like it. I think

507
00:17:18,607 --> 00:17:21,158
they've got AAA smart coaching staff. And I

508
00:17:21,158 --> 00:17:23,444
think that Josh Downs is probably the second

509
00:17:23,564 --> 00:17:26,267
best, maybe even the best wide receiver on

510
00:17:26,267 --> 00:17:27,856
this team. I think Michael Pitt is a

511
00:17:27,856 --> 00:17:29,844
really good possession guy, He's gonna earn a

512
00:17:29,844 --> 00:17:31,354
lot of targets. But when you start talk

513
00:17:31,354 --> 00:17:32,172
about blending

514
00:17:32,547 --> 00:17:34,400
and a bill you get open, earned targets

515
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,720
and potentially create big plays at a consistent

516
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,480
level, which I don't think at I don't

517
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,400
think 80 mitchell at the consistent level yet.

518
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,991
I think there's definitely upside and his game

519
00:17:43,205 --> 00:17:45,032
down the road, but Josh Downs when I

520
00:17:45,032 --> 00:17:46,778
look at him and the potential mismatch inside...

521
00:17:46,937 --> 00:17:47,890
Like, I get excited.

522
00:17:49,478 --> 00:17:50,749
Because he showed for for what he did

523
00:17:50,749 --> 00:17:52,431
as a rookie, it really strong. But then,

524
00:17:52,589 --> 00:17:53,859
I'm like, this is gonna be an offense

525
00:17:53,859 --> 00:17:55,366
it's gonna run a lot of multiple tied

526
00:17:55,366 --> 00:17:55,604
ins?

527
00:17:56,318 --> 00:17:58,619
Can Josh downs win the outside roll or

528
00:17:58,619 --> 00:18:00,460
is that gonna be 80 mitch or Alec

529
00:18:00,539 --> 00:18:02,286
Pierce. The way their coaches talk. It's probably

530
00:18:02,286 --> 00:18:04,272
gonna be Mitchell and Pierce, which means okay,

531
00:18:04,828 --> 00:18:06,496
there's gonna be game scripts where he completely

532
00:18:06,496 --> 00:18:08,656
gets eliminated, and he's only getting play 40

533
00:18:08,656 --> 00:18:10,405
or 50 percent of the time. Maybe they

534
00:18:10,405 --> 00:18:12,313
can keep him to 60 percent by rotating

535
00:18:12,313 --> 00:18:14,221
him to the outside sum. And then we

536
00:18:14,221 --> 00:18:16,223
still have the questions with Anthony Richardson. He

537
00:18:16,223 --> 00:18:18,289
definitely had some bright spots like in his

538
00:18:18,289 --> 00:18:20,117
film coming out. He kinda had the same

539
00:18:20,117 --> 00:18:21,707
thing last year, but he also had some

540
00:18:21,707 --> 00:18:24,012
major issues at times. So we don't know

541
00:18:24,012 --> 00:18:26,097
for sure about the accuracy and we've got

542
00:18:26,097 --> 00:18:27,853
an offense that's probably gonna run the ball

543
00:18:27,853 --> 00:18:30,087
a lot anyway, and you're gonna have many

544
00:18:30,087 --> 00:18:32,241
pass turn into scramble. So you're gonna actually

545
00:18:32,241 --> 00:18:33,931
have plays that designed to be a pass

546
00:18:33,931 --> 00:18:35,447
that are gonna then turn into a run

547
00:18:35,447 --> 00:18:36,962
play because Anthony Richardson is gonna be,

548
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,275
hold my beer, I can get 30, You

549
00:18:39,275 --> 00:18:41,030
know? Right. Right here just by taking off,

550
00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:42,146
and I don't have to risk throw in

551
00:18:42,146 --> 00:18:42,466
a pick.

552
00:18:43,117 --> 00:18:45,418
So Josh downs like, it's like, I I

553
00:18:45,418 --> 00:18:47,639
wanna take him more in fantasy drafts. He's

554
00:18:47,639 --> 00:18:49,146
not price up, So you can get him

555
00:18:49,146 --> 00:18:51,230
late. So, I mean, like, that makes this

556
00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:53,541
take kind of weak, I guess because it's,

557
00:18:53,621 --> 00:18:56,012
like, the market's really not that high on

558
00:18:56,092 --> 00:18:58,496
Josh downs anyway. But, like, I wanna be.

559
00:18:58,734 --> 00:19:00,402
I I really wanna be because, like I

560
00:19:00,402 --> 00:19:03,103
really do like the player, the challenges, just

561
00:19:03,103 --> 00:19:05,169
the environment, you know, really brings him down.

562
00:19:05,407 --> 00:19:07,313
But like, if Josh Downs plays was playing,

563
00:19:08,362 --> 00:19:11,385
slot receiver, you know, in a Rams offense

564
00:19:11,385 --> 00:19:12,897
where I knew they were gonna run 11

565
00:19:12,897 --> 00:19:15,364
personnel all the time, a pure pocket drop

566
00:19:15,364 --> 00:19:16,080
back pass,

567
00:19:16,637 --> 00:19:18,560
like a stack effort like a Kirk Cousins,

568
00:19:19,832 --> 00:19:22,057
even, you know, those Jared Go, those guys

569
00:19:22,057 --> 00:19:23,010
that are more point guards.

570
00:19:23,646 --> 00:19:26,210
I would love Josh downs. He just happens

571
00:19:26,210 --> 00:19:27,725
to sit in this offense where a lot

572
00:19:27,725 --> 00:19:29,400
of things go against him. I think he's

573
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,314
gonna tease you because I think 1 of

574
00:19:31,314 --> 00:19:34,559
the highlights about Anthony Richardson that people talked

575
00:19:34,838 --> 00:19:36,824
and I know my buddy ro He talked

576
00:19:36,824 --> 00:19:38,118
about who coaches, Anthony

577
00:19:38,651 --> 00:19:39,469
said that

578
00:19:39,922 --> 00:19:43,057
said that there's there's tape where Richardson

579
00:19:43,827 --> 00:19:44,327
showed

580
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:46,231
advanced pre snap

581
00:19:46,763 --> 00:19:47,263
reading

582
00:19:47,873 --> 00:19:50,429
and was... And made some big... Amid a

583
00:19:50,429 --> 00:19:52,586
huge play with Downs on 1 up the

584
00:19:52,586 --> 00:19:54,265
seam that I think we all remember if

585
00:19:54,265 --> 00:19:56,422
we've saw remember seeing it. That that was

586
00:19:56,422 --> 00:19:59,069
totally on Richardson. And that you know, that

587
00:19:59,069 --> 00:20:00,261
that was totally a pre snap,

588
00:20:01,134 --> 00:20:02,904
recognition of something that the play wasn't

589
00:20:03,278 --> 00:20:05,740
and converted the play into a a big

590
00:20:05,740 --> 00:20:08,059
passing play that wasn't designed to be.

591
00:20:09,259 --> 00:20:11,340
So I can see there's gonna be moments

592
00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:12,880
where I think he'll find

593
00:20:13,180 --> 00:20:13,680
downs

594
00:20:14,619 --> 00:20:16,394
for huge plays and you go, oh, well,

595
00:20:16,473 --> 00:20:19,526
maybe there's something there, and then the offense

596
00:20:19,584 --> 00:20:22,296
itself, and then Richardson with growing pains will

597
00:20:22,296 --> 00:20:24,130
probably also contribute to that too.

598
00:20:24,848 --> 00:20:26,539
So... Yeah, I think that's a good 1.

599
00:20:27,259 --> 00:20:29,259
It just makes me think I... You know,

600
00:20:29,419 --> 00:20:31,099
the of a player right now that I

601
00:20:31,099 --> 00:20:33,440
wanna get your your your thoughts on

602
00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:34,240
is

603
00:20:36,153 --> 00:20:37,928
H chan. Are you

604
00:20:38,543 --> 00:20:39,579
are you in?

605
00:20:40,297 --> 00:20:42,289
Are you or are you looking at this

606
00:20:42,289 --> 00:20:43,166
and going? Okay.

607
00:20:44,056 --> 00:20:46,999
Are we gonna find opposing defenses that that

608
00:20:46,999 --> 00:20:49,805
say, okay. We've gotta stop this, like, vertical

609
00:20:49,942 --> 00:20:52,583
element that's stretching the field horizontally Son,

610
00:20:53,621 --> 00:20:56,016
the way it is, or are we looking

611
00:20:56,016 --> 00:20:58,172
at and saying, he gets enough touches between

612
00:20:58,172 --> 00:21:01,286
the tackle that that whole gadget thing that

613
00:21:01,286 --> 00:21:03,314
the Mc you'll offense

614
00:21:03,847 --> 00:21:06,868
uses him in, isn't gonna matter that much.

615
00:21:08,060 --> 00:21:10,697
Yeah. I... I'm I'm in on... I'm in

616
00:21:10,697 --> 00:21:11,332
on chan.

617
00:21:12,205 --> 00:21:14,031
You know... It's just... You've already... The problem

618
00:21:14,031 --> 00:21:15,460
is I'm a sucker for sealing.

619
00:21:16,412 --> 00:21:18,317
And we've seen the ceiling, you know, with

620
00:21:18,317 --> 00:21:20,563
a chan. In. And here's the other challenge.

621
00:21:20,961 --> 00:21:22,954
A defense can decide to do whatever they

622
00:21:22,954 --> 00:21:23,194
want.

623
00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:25,745
The problem is you can't take away everything

624
00:21:25,824 --> 00:21:27,832
Miami does. Right. There's just too many play

625
00:21:27,832 --> 00:21:29,586
makers. So you have to literally every week,

626
00:21:29,745 --> 00:21:31,658
pick your poison. Like, what what are we

627
00:21:31,658 --> 00:21:33,810
gonna try to do? You know? I I

628
00:21:33,810 --> 00:21:35,006
think of, like, Bill Be check? And he

629
00:21:35,006 --> 00:21:36,853
would talk about though. What's the best thing

630
00:21:36,853 --> 00:21:38,526
this offense does? Let's take that away. Okay.

631
00:21:38,764 --> 00:21:40,357
Great. Now you have another great thing. You

632
00:21:40,357 --> 00:21:41,791
gotta worry about with Miami. You're gonna take

633
00:21:41,791 --> 00:21:43,384
that away. Well then there's another great thing

634
00:21:43,384 --> 00:21:45,654
that you've gotta worry about like Mike Mc

635
00:21:45,875 --> 00:21:47,634
has done a great job with Tu, you

636
00:21:47,634 --> 00:21:49,474
know, who I think is a really... I

637
00:21:49,474 --> 00:21:50,595
like him, but he's in middle of the

638
00:21:50,595 --> 00:21:52,194
road quarterback. And I mean, this is the

639
00:21:52,194 --> 00:21:54,286
best pass offense in the Nfl over the

640
00:21:54,286 --> 00:21:55,265
last 2 seasons

641
00:21:55,882 --> 00:21:58,756
from a yard perspective. So, yeah, I love

642
00:21:58,756 --> 00:22:00,033
h chan and the way I kinda look

643
00:22:00,033 --> 00:22:00,671
at him is this,

644
00:22:02,199 --> 00:22:03,787
you know, let's say he reg progresses, which

645
00:22:03,787 --> 00:22:05,375
he's probably going to. I mean, the guy

646
00:22:05,375 --> 00:22:07,598
averaged 7.9 yards per carry. Okay. But what

647
00:22:07,757 --> 00:22:09,480
I wanna say is really good

648
00:22:09,836 --> 00:22:11,500
players. When we say reg regards to the

649
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:12,927
mean, you don't... They don't reg regret all

650
00:22:12,927 --> 00:22:14,591
the way to the Nfl mean. You know?

651
00:22:14,829 --> 00:22:16,042
They they often

652
00:22:17,064 --> 00:22:19,781
gonna be a 3.8 guy. Exactly. Yeah. They

653
00:22:19,781 --> 00:22:20,899
they reg regrets a lot of times, like,

654
00:22:20,979 --> 00:22:22,178
the better thing to look at reg wrestling

655
00:22:22,178 --> 00:22:23,776
them too is a career average. Now it

656
00:22:23,776 --> 00:22:25,306
drops off quicker for backs, But we don't

657
00:22:25,306 --> 00:22:26,896
have a career average for for for And.

658
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:28,407
But I can think back to multiple guys.

659
00:22:28,645 --> 00:22:29,520
I know a guy you and I have

660
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,508
both talked about many times, Jamal Charles, you

661
00:22:31,508 --> 00:22:33,033
know, a guy that average well or 5

662
00:22:33,033 --> 00:22:35,498
yard carry for his career. There are guys

663
00:22:35,498 --> 00:22:36,849
that that can do it. And when I

664
00:22:36,849 --> 00:22:38,836
watch chan. I'm like, okay. Great. He's gonna

665
00:22:38,836 --> 00:22:40,188
arrest. But I don't think you to your

666
00:22:40,188 --> 00:22:41,619
point. He's not gonna... All of a sudden

667
00:22:41,619 --> 00:22:43,623
be 3.8 yards per carry Like, I've still

668
00:22:43,623 --> 00:22:46,249
got him projected right now for 5 yards

669
00:22:46,249 --> 00:22:48,000
per carry, which is a dress... That's... I've

670
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,785
already drastically brought him down. The 7.9 yards

671
00:22:50,785 --> 00:22:51,422
per carry. Right?

672
00:22:52,153 --> 00:22:54,300
The other thing... Yard lesson than I haven't

673
00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:57,004
projected for. I for 6. Dude... I'm sorry.

674
00:22:57,163 --> 00:22:58,594
I don't... And I... I really don't have

675
00:22:58,594 --> 00:23:00,997
a problem with you having them at 6II

676
00:23:00,997 --> 00:23:03,788
yeah. I I don't. Now our lines get

677
00:23:03,788 --> 00:23:05,463
used, you know, for people that wanna bet

678
00:23:05,463 --> 00:23:08,254
prop bet. So I'm I'm conservative. I over

679
00:23:08,254 --> 00:23:10,022
reg request the league averages is still but,

680
00:23:10,102 --> 00:23:11,689
like, with H chan, like, I made in

681
00:23:11,689 --> 00:23:13,118
and made an adjustment where I'm like, no.

682
00:23:13,277 --> 00:23:14,467
He's saying at least at 5.

683
00:23:15,261 --> 00:23:17,166
The other part that I was conservative on

684
00:23:17,166 --> 00:23:19,562
was really, you know, looking at his workload.

685
00:23:20,196 --> 00:23:22,021
You know, I only get... So last season,

686
00:23:22,259 --> 00:23:23,845
he had 40 percent of the attempts and

687
00:23:23,845 --> 00:23:26,402
53 percent of the route participation in games

688
00:23:26,402 --> 00:23:28,473
with most dirt. Yeah. I've only got and

689
00:23:28,473 --> 00:23:31,261
projected at 41 and 47 percent. And I

690
00:23:31,261 --> 00:23:33,173
think that's honestly that's being conservative.

691
00:23:33,810 --> 00:23:35,898
It's as good as most still is. He

692
00:23:35,898 --> 00:23:38,133
is 32 years old. I would still expect

693
00:23:38,213 --> 00:23:40,208
A chan roll to slightly grow this way

694
00:23:40,208 --> 00:23:41,645
this year. I can't tell you for sure

695
00:23:41,645 --> 00:23:43,321
how it's gonna be? Is it gonna be

696
00:23:43,321 --> 00:23:45,326
another 5 in the carry department is it

697
00:23:45,326 --> 00:23:47,472
gonna be another 7 percent and the route

698
00:23:47,472 --> 00:23:49,697
department. I can't tell you for sure, but

699
00:23:49,697 --> 00:23:51,660
we also have Mike mc on record multi

700
00:23:51,859 --> 00:23:53,930
times already this pre season saying that H

701
00:23:53,930 --> 00:23:55,921
chan is forcing their hand. They're gonna have

702
00:23:55,921 --> 00:23:57,753
to get him more involved because he did

703
00:23:57,753 --> 00:23:59,744
everything they wanted in the off season program,

704
00:24:00,063 --> 00:24:02,154
and he's a guy they know is just

705
00:24:02,315 --> 00:24:04,474
a weapon that defenses don't wanna have to

706
00:24:04,474 --> 00:24:07,355
deal with. I mean, defenses I have nightmares

707
00:24:07,355 --> 00:24:09,755
thinking about Miami and Chan, like, can be

708
00:24:09,755 --> 00:24:12,165
a straw helps stir that drink. And so

709
00:24:12,404 --> 00:24:14,320
I I projected, like I said only at

710
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,976
41 percent of the attempts, 47 percent

711
00:24:17,433 --> 00:24:18,790
routes, and he still comes out at running

712
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:19,244
back 13

713
00:24:19,921 --> 00:24:21,193
Yeah. So he still comes out as a

714
00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:22,625
low end running back 1. You're getting him

715
00:24:22,625 --> 00:24:24,773
at the round 2, 3 turn in most

716
00:24:24,773 --> 00:24:28,130
drafts right now. But what if, Matt? He

717
00:24:28,130 --> 00:24:30,916
just got to 50 percent of the attempts

718
00:24:30,916 --> 00:24:32,747
instead of 41 percent. So I'm still saying

719
00:24:32,747 --> 00:24:34,753
most are still very involved, but the H

720
00:24:34,753 --> 00:24:36,667
n takes that slight lead. Right? Be in

721
00:24:36,667 --> 00:24:39,379
the training room, But no. Yeah. That's what

722
00:24:39,379 --> 00:24:41,612
everyone says. That's what they said. Yeah. It...

723
00:24:41,851 --> 00:24:43,765
But we don't know that. Yeah. And. And

724
00:24:43,765 --> 00:24:45,844
people I I talked about Austin All the

725
00:24:45,844 --> 00:24:47,668
time because Austin Did not come in the

726
00:24:47,668 --> 00:24:49,651
league at 205 pounds. He came in more

727
00:24:49,651 --> 00:24:51,890
like at 1 91 95, and it's hard

728
00:24:51,890 --> 00:24:53,481
to find good weights. He didn't he didn't

729
00:24:53,481 --> 00:24:55,072
go to the combine. Yeah You know, So

730
00:24:55,072 --> 00:24:56,504
you're just looking at the pro day stuff.

731
00:24:56,982 --> 00:24:57,482
So

732
00:24:58,509 --> 00:24:59,628
I look at a guy, like, H chan,

733
00:24:59,708 --> 00:25:02,026
like, he's not at his finished state. Like,

734
00:25:02,825 --> 00:25:04,023
when I look and I look at his

735
00:25:04,023 --> 00:25:05,542
body, and that's where Be interested you. Like,

736
00:25:05,622 --> 00:25:06,900
when I just look at the lower body,

737
00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:08,835
I think there's definitely some thickness there. Like,

738
00:25:09,075 --> 00:25:10,195
I feel like there's a little bit of

739
00:25:10,195 --> 00:25:12,115
room for h and to actually carry weight

740
00:25:12,115 --> 00:25:14,035
that that works. Not just try to bulk

741
00:25:14,035 --> 00:25:15,714
up and lose at all by the time

742
00:25:15,714 --> 00:25:17,189
the season gets going but

743
00:25:17,641 --> 00:25:19,570
my thing is, if he gets to 50

744
00:25:19,626 --> 00:25:19,785
percent.

745
00:25:20,896 --> 00:25:22,881
Okay? And the league average for running back

746
00:25:22,881 --> 00:25:25,042
1 on a team, not a running back

747
00:25:25,042 --> 00:25:27,275
1 in fantasy. The average running back 1

748
00:25:27,275 --> 00:25:28,949
on an Nfl team over the last 3

749
00:25:28,949 --> 00:25:30,863
years gets 57 percent of the carry. So

750
00:25:31,022 --> 00:25:32,856
I still got him well below that. Okay?

751
00:25:33,589 --> 00:25:34,409
Say his route

752
00:25:35,268 --> 00:25:37,425
participation goes from 53 percent to just 55.

753
00:25:37,905 --> 00:25:39,903
Okay? That's why had he had 53 percent

754
00:25:39,903 --> 00:25:41,581
last year. Remember, I've got him at 47.

755
00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:43,670
But if I just make those 2 small

756
00:25:43,670 --> 00:25:45,499
adjustments, he would move all the way to

757
00:25:45,499 --> 00:25:47,567
running back 4 in my projections. And see

758
00:25:47,567 --> 00:25:48,124
there. Go.

759
00:25:48,919 --> 00:25:50,351
When people talk about it, they're like, oh,

760
00:25:50,589 --> 00:25:52,038
he'll never get all the is, I'm like,

761
00:25:52,118 --> 00:25:52,278
guys,

762
00:25:53,156 --> 00:25:54,833
not an either or. He doesn't have to

763
00:25:54,833 --> 00:25:56,749
have 65 percent that carries, what if he

764
00:25:56,749 --> 00:25:58,745
just gets to 50 percent. He gets the

765
00:25:58,745 --> 00:26:01,872
50 percent, you're probably gonna regret. Not taking

766
00:26:01,872 --> 00:26:03,465
him at the end of round 2 or

767
00:26:03,465 --> 00:26:05,138
in round 3 in your fantasy draft. You

768
00:26:05,138 --> 00:26:07,369
know, from a body standpoint, yeah. I mean,

769
00:26:07,608 --> 00:26:10,561
to Davis, was below 200 pounds when he

770
00:26:10,561 --> 00:26:12,624
entered the leak. Clinton Porter was below 200

771
00:26:12,624 --> 00:26:13,735
pounds when he entered the leak.

772
00:26:14,449 --> 00:26:16,615
And both those guys finished the their

773
00:26:16,924 --> 00:26:17,424
years

774
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,914
as 220

775
00:26:18,914 --> 00:26:22,178
pound runners who were producing as workhorse.

776
00:26:23,054 --> 00:26:25,377
So, I mean, there are examples of like

777
00:26:25,377 --> 00:26:28,314
that all the time. Yeah. I mean, III

778
00:26:28,314 --> 00:26:31,013
certainly like him myself. I don't... I'm not

779
00:26:31,013 --> 00:26:33,094
as bullish on him, but he is someone

780
00:26:33,094 --> 00:26:34,450
that I may need to be a little

781
00:26:34,450 --> 00:26:37,003
bit more bullish on as as time goes

782
00:26:37,003 --> 00:26:39,157
on, like, I have I have most at

783
00:26:39,157 --> 00:26:40,250
a hundred and 69

784
00:26:40,528 --> 00:26:41,746
attempts, and I have

785
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,732
as a runner, I have h n as

786
00:26:45,790 --> 00:26:46,986
at 124.

787
00:26:47,145 --> 00:26:48,795
So it's not that huge of a difference

788
00:26:49,795 --> 00:26:51,555
in terms of where I'm at with that.

789
00:26:51,955 --> 00:26:54,055
But I have, you know, most of it

790
00:26:54,195 --> 00:26:56,355
almost twice the number of of scores. Got

791
00:26:56,355 --> 00:26:58,526
1 88 1 67. I would say you're

792
00:26:58,526 --> 00:27:00,283
low based on the games that they played

793
00:27:00,283 --> 00:27:02,758
together last year. Yeah. I mean, Chan was

794
00:27:02,758 --> 00:27:04,993
at, you know, 40 percent and those. That's

795
00:27:04,993 --> 00:27:06,724
because I'm 1 of the... He's gonna be

796
00:27:06,923 --> 00:27:08,988
the training room, and Haven't projected a 13

797
00:27:08,988 --> 00:27:09,147
games,

798
00:27:09,862 --> 00:27:11,847
which is not usual. Most people don't project,

799
00:27:12,165 --> 00:27:13,435
you, you know, that kind of thing.

800
00:27:14,150 --> 00:27:15,262
I've got him at 15 and a half.

801
00:27:15,501 --> 00:27:17,669
I take every running back, it starts at

802
00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:18,869
15 and a half, and then I go

803
00:27:18,869 --> 00:27:19,589
down from there.

804
00:27:21,109 --> 00:27:23,849
So, like, when I say my projection, so

805
00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:26,945
alter, it starts out at 46 percent to

806
00:27:26,945 --> 00:27:29,166
most certain 41 percent to h chan. Once

807
00:27:29,166 --> 00:27:31,863
you factor in injuries is 41 percent most

808
00:27:31,863 --> 00:27:34,190
37 percent h chan, you know, on the

809
00:27:34,190 --> 00:27:35,089
season. But

810
00:27:36,509 --> 00:27:37,230
I I guess, like,

811
00:27:38,029 --> 00:27:39,869
my question is really what is the floor

812
00:27:39,869 --> 00:27:42,123
for H chan if he's not injured Yeah.

813
00:27:42,361 --> 00:27:43,790
And the other thing with injury stuff, I

814
00:27:43,790 --> 00:27:45,298
don't get it. He was hurt 2 times

815
00:27:45,298 --> 00:27:46,647
last year he was hurt once in college.

816
00:27:46,965 --> 00:27:48,790
Right. I mean, he had 1 injury in

817
00:27:48,790 --> 00:27:50,719
college that kept him out. Like, so

818
00:27:51,269 --> 00:27:52,867
He really doesn't... It's not like he was

819
00:27:52,867 --> 00:27:54,625
hurt his whole college career. I think it's

820
00:27:54,625 --> 00:27:57,022
more the perception that people have of the

821
00:27:57,022 --> 00:27:59,432
size and they're concerned that he's... Gonna be

822
00:27:59,432 --> 00:28:01,342
used in a certain role and they. But

823
00:28:01,342 --> 00:28:03,092
you're not other people, you're someone I actually

824
00:28:03,092 --> 00:28:04,604
listen to. And you're worried about it being

825
00:28:04,604 --> 00:28:06,036
in the training room. So I to know

826
00:28:06,036 --> 00:28:08,105
if I need to adjust my Jason. Not

827
00:28:08,105 --> 00:28:09,869
gonna just look at it for me. It's

828
00:28:09,869 --> 00:28:11,937
more... I don't think so. In fact, I'm

829
00:28:11,937 --> 00:28:13,845
more thinking I'm gonna adjust mine,

830
00:28:15,117 --> 00:28:15,617
because

831
00:28:15,992 --> 00:28:17,344
I've looked at him and I think he

832
00:28:17,344 --> 00:28:18,951
made a good argue in about where he

833
00:28:18,951 --> 00:28:21,260
is weight wise, how he was used, what

834
00:28:21,260 --> 00:28:23,729
his... What his profile looked like. And when

835
00:28:23,729 --> 00:28:25,163
you look at it from that standpoint,

836
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,408
I think that if the men if the

837
00:28:27,408 --> 00:28:28,445
dolphins are saying,

838
00:28:29,004 --> 00:28:31,396
we're... You're... He's forcing our hand to use

839
00:28:31,396 --> 00:28:31,875
him more,

840
00:28:32,513 --> 00:28:35,384
that's enough for me to go, okay. They

841
00:28:35,384 --> 00:28:37,473
they think that he can handle it. Or

842
00:28:37,473 --> 00:28:39,068
they're gonna give themselves a shot.

843
00:28:40,105 --> 00:28:41,621
They're gonna give him a shot to see

844
00:28:41,621 --> 00:28:42,259
if he can.

845
00:28:43,136 --> 00:28:44,811
And also, some of it is also me

846
00:28:44,811 --> 00:28:46,326
looking at other players on the depth chart

847
00:28:46,326 --> 00:28:46,646
and going.

848
00:28:47,298 --> 00:28:48,969
Okay. Let me give them a little bit

849
00:28:48,969 --> 00:28:50,878
of a taste like Ja right, just to

850
00:28:50,878 --> 00:28:52,470
get in there. Not that he's get me.

851
00:28:52,947 --> 00:28:54,777
I got Ja right at 10 percent. You

852
00:28:54,777 --> 00:28:56,224
know? I think he's he's gonna be be

853
00:28:56,224 --> 00:28:57,503
a factor, and I mean, you got a

854
00:28:57,503 --> 00:28:59,980
veteran and Jeff Wilson there. I mean, there...

855
00:29:00,299 --> 00:29:01,897
I I don't know. I will say this.

856
00:29:02,217 --> 00:29:03,176
If ra Mo,

857
00:29:04,295 --> 00:29:05,666
be love the way he puts this. We

858
00:29:05,666 --> 00:29:07,342
don't talk about injuries, Matt. We say if

859
00:29:07,342 --> 00:29:08,619
he won the lottery, you know?

860
00:29:09,896 --> 00:29:11,492
He hit the power and didn't need to

861
00:29:11,492 --> 00:29:13,497
play football anymore. Right. They should come it

862
00:29:13,497 --> 00:29:15,399
in. That's great. Yeah. Gets to walk away

863
00:29:15,399 --> 00:29:18,013
from football. III will say this. I don't

864
00:29:18,013 --> 00:29:19,757
know that the dolphins would suddenly give a...

865
00:29:20,089 --> 00:29:22,409
Chan a 65 percent workload. I think they

866
00:29:22,409 --> 00:29:24,890
would give those other guys pieces. Now, I

867
00:29:24,890 --> 00:29:26,970
will say, we're not really great at predicting

868
00:29:26,970 --> 00:29:28,409
what coach is gonna do. As soon as

869
00:29:28,409 --> 00:29:30,342
we say they won't. It's still in the

870
00:29:30,342 --> 00:29:32,332
range of outcomes somewhere out there. I just

871
00:29:32,332 --> 00:29:34,266
wouldn't say that it's like a high probability

872
00:29:34,562 --> 00:29:36,473
until that he would need to prove that

873
00:29:36,473 --> 00:29:38,200
to us. But I I think that Still

874
00:29:38,399 --> 00:29:39,998
If most went down, he would be a

875
00:29:39,998 --> 00:29:41,756
near lock to get half the carries. Yeah.

876
00:29:41,996 --> 00:29:43,834
He probably would, though, I think the best

877
00:29:43,834 --> 00:29:45,752
running back on that depth chart between the

878
00:29:45,752 --> 00:29:47,350
tackle is Chris Brooks and he probably won't

879
00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:49,200
even be on that team at the end

880
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,714
of the year. At the end of this...

881
00:29:51,352 --> 00:29:53,026
Maybe the cowboys could get him. They they

882
00:29:53,026 --> 00:29:55,178
they the cowboys they need another brooks. They

883
00:29:55,178 --> 00:29:57,183
need another running back too. They do, and

884
00:29:57,183 --> 00:29:58,615
they need a better brooks, and I think

885
00:29:58,615 --> 00:29:59,887
they create. They've got it. They've got 2

886
00:29:59,967 --> 00:30:01,796
Ja at wide receiver. 1 of them it

887
00:30:01,796 --> 00:30:03,148
is is a Brooks, but they really need

888
00:30:03,148 --> 00:30:04,753
a running back. So maybe you're on something.

889
00:30:05,072 --> 00:30:07,219
I I'm thinking maybe that's a possibility. We'll

890
00:30:07,219 --> 00:30:07,378
see.

891
00:30:08,492 --> 00:30:09,390
Alright. So,

892
00:30:10,242 --> 00:30:13,591
you know, just pick somebody that that just

893
00:30:13,591 --> 00:30:15,414
design your mind that you're just like, okay.

894
00:30:15,573 --> 00:30:17,555
Look. I wanna talk about... I've been wanting

895
00:30:17,555 --> 00:30:20,110
talk about this guy for for whatever reason.

896
00:30:21,780 --> 00:30:23,848
I'll I'll pick I'll pick something right off

897
00:30:23,848 --> 00:30:25,439
the bat if you need a minute. You

898
00:30:25,439 --> 00:30:25,518
know,

899
00:30:26,393 --> 00:30:26,870
to me,

900
00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:29,519
Arthur Smith and Pittsburgh.

901
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,160
This is where I was going. I was

902
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,000
going there. So let's see what player your

903
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,440
name. But people will have 2 different players.

904
00:30:35,854 --> 00:30:38,172
Arthur Smith and Pittsburgh is fun. I'm gonna...

905
00:30:38,411 --> 00:30:40,569
There's a lot we could talk about here

906
00:30:40,569 --> 00:30:40,968
with this.

907
00:30:42,406 --> 00:30:43,466
1 is that

908
00:30:44,099 --> 00:30:46,649
my theory about Arthur Smith has been this

909
00:30:46,649 --> 00:30:49,039
since, like, week 2 or week 3 of

910
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:50,894
last year is that

911
00:30:51,271 --> 00:30:54,238
I don't know who was responsible for picking

912
00:30:54,317 --> 00:30:56,073
Desmond Ritter in Atlanta.

913
00:30:56,871 --> 00:30:59,480
But I do know that when I watched

914
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:02,790
Arthur Smith's offense. It looked very much to

915
00:31:02,790 --> 00:31:05,263
me, like Smith said, we have to keep

916
00:31:05,263 --> 00:31:06,460
things boring as fuck.

917
00:31:07,193 --> 00:31:07,693
Because

918
00:31:08,151 --> 00:31:11,183
we cannot trust our quarterback to make a

919
00:31:11,183 --> 00:31:13,737
read beyond what the blackboard told him.

920
00:31:15,109 --> 00:31:17,746
And that if the if the receiver start

921
00:31:17,746 --> 00:31:21,022
working across the field, and there's multiple zone

922
00:31:21,022 --> 00:31:22,620
windows that they could access,

923
00:31:23,353 --> 00:31:25,903
Desmond Ritter gonna fail this test because he's

924
00:31:25,903 --> 00:31:26,403
basically...

925
00:31:27,018 --> 00:31:29,409
He's open blind when it comes to, like,

926
00:31:29,568 --> 00:31:31,740
being able to make this work. So let's

927
00:31:31,740 --> 00:31:34,140
double down this offense. I'll fall on my

928
00:31:34,140 --> 00:31:36,859
sword. It's gonna piss my ego off, and

929
00:31:36,859 --> 00:31:39,192
everyone's gonna go on me about how I'm

930
00:31:39,192 --> 00:31:41,509
not getting the most out of Drake London

931
00:31:41,509 --> 00:31:43,208
and Kyle Pitt. But,

932
00:31:43,747 --> 00:31:46,078
you know, I can't... I I can't throw...

933
00:31:46,397 --> 00:31:48,792
I can't throw Desmond ritter immediately under the

934
00:31:48,792 --> 00:31:51,506
bus. We have nobody else there who's really

935
00:31:51,506 --> 00:31:52,225
gonna help out.

936
00:31:52,863 --> 00:31:55,033
And I think that in a in in

937
00:31:55,193 --> 00:31:55,693
Pittsburgh,

938
00:31:56,070 --> 00:31:58,144
I think we're gonna have... We're gonna see

939
00:31:58,144 --> 00:31:59,601
a little bit more dynamic

940
00:32:00,617 --> 00:32:03,009
skill in terms of at least having... Now

941
00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:05,675
I have a quarterback who can work post

942
00:32:06,287 --> 00:32:06,763
pocket,

943
00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:09,645
you know, and to be able to create

944
00:32:09,860 --> 00:32:11,686
and have a little bit more success and

945
00:32:11,686 --> 00:32:13,805
that even though he's not known for most

946
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,788
and, you, you know, and often still seems

947
00:32:16,788 --> 00:32:19,413
s even if you take away the desmond

948
00:32:19,413 --> 00:32:22,055
ritter element. It still gonna he's still straightened

949
00:32:22,055 --> 00:32:24,048
up the room enough that there's at least

950
00:32:24,048 --> 00:32:26,520
some curb appeal to what's going. So real

951
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,752
quick. What's very interesting about Arthur Smith,

952
00:32:30,285 --> 00:32:31,184
he's madden

953
00:32:31,724 --> 00:32:32,224
only

954
00:32:33,404 --> 00:32:36,365
when it comes to player utilization. Meaning, Drake

955
00:32:36,525 --> 00:32:38,660
London never was treated like a wide receiver

956
00:32:38,779 --> 00:32:40,924
1 from from a playing time perspective. Yep.

957
00:32:41,321 --> 00:32:42,672
That's what I don't get about Arthur Smith.

958
00:32:42,910 --> 00:32:44,261
You've spent a top 8 pick on the

959
00:32:44,261 --> 00:32:45,930
guy When he's on the field, he seems

960
00:32:45,930 --> 00:32:48,012
to be playing well, but you gotta get

961
00:32:48,092 --> 00:32:50,721
Ka daryl h out there. Just because. Gotta

962
00:32:50,721 --> 00:32:53,453
give Van Jefferson some run. Oh, Mac Collins

963
00:32:53,670 --> 00:32:55,357
until he started open his Y then he

964
00:32:55,357 --> 00:32:57,050
got his ass but on the bench, but

965
00:32:57,504 --> 00:32:59,412
those those guys that he would just give

966
00:32:59,412 --> 00:33:01,480
snaps to for no reason I never understood.

967
00:33:01,798 --> 00:33:03,325
Drake Lu is a player that should on

968
00:33:03,325 --> 00:33:05,404
the field 92, 94 percent of your past.

969
00:33:05,644 --> 00:33:07,005
And he was down in the low eighties.

970
00:33:07,325 --> 00:33:09,325
So Kyle Pitt, same thing. Now part of

971
00:33:09,325 --> 00:33:10,924
that last year's is coming back from injury.

972
00:33:12,057 --> 00:33:13,330
Kyle Pitt was the same way. I mean,

973
00:33:13,409 --> 00:33:14,761
if you're gonna spend top 4 pick on

974
00:33:14,761 --> 00:33:16,272
a tied in. Well... Okay. Let's get him

975
00:33:16,272 --> 00:33:17,465
on the damn field and let him be

976
00:33:17,465 --> 00:33:19,533
a mismatch. Problem is you didn't have quarterback

977
00:33:19,533 --> 00:33:21,138
back to your point. They can take advantage

978
00:33:21,138 --> 00:33:23,763
of of Kyle Pitt skill set, which is

979
00:33:23,763 --> 00:33:26,627
an ability... An ability to vertically stretch the

980
00:33:26,627 --> 00:33:28,631
the football game in in a way, really

981
00:33:28,631 --> 00:33:30,302
probably no other tied in right now in

982
00:33:30,302 --> 00:33:32,132
the Nfl can do. And Kurt Cousins will

983
00:33:32,132 --> 00:33:33,804
probably be able to un that for pits.

984
00:33:33,963 --> 00:33:34,463
But

985
00:33:34,853 --> 00:33:37,717
was interesting about Arthur Smith. Those were his

986
00:33:37,717 --> 00:33:39,706
issues. Bi dijon last year not getting 50

987
00:33:39,706 --> 00:33:40,900
percent of the rushing attempts. I mean, what

988
00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:42,426
the hell are we doing? Got it. Okay.

989
00:33:42,664 --> 00:33:44,574
And I like Tyler here, but you just

990
00:33:44,574 --> 00:33:45,767
drafted a Bi on it at Pick 8.

991
00:33:46,323 --> 00:33:47,993
But from an x as an o standpoint

992
00:33:47,993 --> 00:33:50,434
for the things that I've studied that really

993
00:33:50,554 --> 00:33:51,272
add to yard,

994
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:52,070
touchdown.

995
00:33:52,708 --> 00:33:55,180
Also known as fantasy points, this little dirty

996
00:33:55,180 --> 00:33:56,935
thing we like to call Fantasy football points,

997
00:33:57,414 --> 00:33:59,009
football people. We're not that far far our

998
00:33:59,009 --> 00:34:01,412
apart. You guys want yards touchdown catches. Gets

999
00:34:01,412 --> 00:34:03,395
what guess what those things equal. Fantasy point.

1000
00:34:03,634 --> 00:34:06,332
So I did a study on this and

1001
00:34:06,332 --> 00:34:06,887
play action.

1002
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,085
A play action

1003
00:34:10,234 --> 00:34:12,479
route is worth 33

1004
00:34:12,613 --> 00:34:15,547
percent more. Or sorry. It's worth 26 percent

1005
00:34:15,547 --> 00:34:17,469
more for a wide receiver than an play

1006
00:34:17,469 --> 00:34:19,710
action route. Where did arthur Smith rank and

1007
00:34:19,710 --> 00:34:21,949
play action over his 3 years in Atlanta

1008
00:34:21,949 --> 00:34:23,070
second in the Nfl.

1009
00:34:24,030 --> 00:34:24,190
Okay?

1010
00:34:24,829 --> 00:34:25,789
Motion at the snap.

1011
00:34:27,324 --> 00:34:29,724
57 percent for Arthur Smith that was fourth

1012
00:34:29,724 --> 00:34:31,484
in the Nfl. Over his 3 years there.

1013
00:34:31,644 --> 00:34:33,005
You know what motion at the snap is

1014
00:34:33,005 --> 00:34:35,098
worth per route more than non motion at

1015
00:34:35,098 --> 00:34:37,745
the snap for a wide receiver, 55

1016
00:34:37,802 --> 00:34:40,426
percent boost in P scoring per route. Yeah.

1017
00:34:40,744 --> 00:34:42,096
Okay? And also,

1018
00:34:42,812 --> 00:34:44,505
condensed... This this isn't necessarily

1019
00:34:45,135 --> 00:34:46,734
a, a cheat coat thing, but it's good

1020
00:34:46,734 --> 00:34:48,815
for fantasy because you don't have as many

1021
00:34:48,815 --> 00:34:50,894
other targets to compete with, but 2 wide

1022
00:34:50,894 --> 00:34:53,054
receiver resets versus 3 wide receiver resets where

1023
00:34:53,054 --> 00:34:54,819
you're getting a slot wider receiver out there.

1024
00:34:55,931 --> 00:34:57,519
If you look at that, it comes down

1025
00:34:57,519 --> 00:34:59,902
to 29 percent boost per route run. Okay?

1026
00:35:00,220 --> 00:35:01,014
He ranked first.

1027
00:35:02,364 --> 00:35:05,630
And 2 wider receiver personnel uses. Essentially, if

1028
00:35:05,630 --> 00:35:07,927
you go look at a chart with all

1029
00:35:07,927 --> 00:35:10,280
the top play car callers ranked in those

1030
00:35:10,399 --> 00:35:11,988
what I call cheat code areas.

1031
00:35:12,465 --> 00:35:14,452
He's ranked right there with Kyle Shana hand

1032
00:35:14,610 --> 00:35:15,167
Mike mc daniel.

1033
00:35:15,803 --> 00:35:17,177
So he was actually trying

1034
00:35:17,710 --> 00:35:20,353
to do everything he could. For Desmond Ritter,

1035
00:35:20,513 --> 00:35:22,111
and a lot of those plays end up

1036
00:35:22,111 --> 00:35:25,228
being first reed plays. Yep. Okay? 70 percent

1037
00:35:25,228 --> 00:35:26,986
of plays in the Nfl or first read

1038
00:35:26,986 --> 00:35:28,918
anyway. So he's... That's why he was rude,

1039
00:35:29,157 --> 00:35:30,588
you know, because he had a guy who

1040
00:35:30,588 --> 00:35:32,973
couldn't read. So... He couldn't... The guy couldn't

1041
00:35:32,973 --> 00:35:35,518
make the first read. So III think the

1042
00:35:35,518 --> 00:35:37,282
quarterback play, Ul Lee,

1043
00:35:38,077 --> 00:35:40,464
screwed Arthur Smith, gave him a bad rap

1044
00:35:40,464 --> 00:35:42,612
in Atlanta. He had terrible quarterback plan. It

1045
00:35:42,612 --> 00:35:44,958
wasn't it wasn't just or it was also

1046
00:35:45,256 --> 00:35:46,054
Marcus Mario.

1047
00:35:46,612 --> 00:35:48,128
And Taylor He, he was a little bit

1048
00:35:48,128 --> 00:35:49,884
better than those 2, but still, that's that's

1049
00:35:49,884 --> 00:35:51,733
the struggle. And and Matt Ryan was the

1050
00:35:51,733 --> 00:35:53,401
end of his... He was at the end

1051
00:35:53,401 --> 00:35:55,466
of his game. Matt Ryan wasn't Matt Ryan

1052
00:35:55,466 --> 00:35:57,769
anymore when Arthur Smith got there. So but...

1053
00:35:58,007 --> 00:35:59,358
That's why I'm fascinated that you brought this

1054
00:35:59,358 --> 00:35:59,675
1 up.

1055
00:36:00,329 --> 00:36:02,410
Because I think all roads here lead back

1056
00:36:02,410 --> 00:36:04,010
to what do you really think about Russell

1057
00:36:04,090 --> 00:36:07,210
Wilson? Yeah. And I I feel good about

1058
00:36:07,210 --> 00:36:08,901
them. I mean, I know that we talk

1059
00:36:08,901 --> 00:36:10,575
about kenny throw in the middle of the

1060
00:36:10,575 --> 00:36:11,075
field

1061
00:36:11,691 --> 00:36:14,003
and the design, you know, how much time

1062
00:36:14,003 --> 00:36:15,858
he takes in an offense, but I also

1063
00:36:16,728 --> 00:36:18,242
look at just the quality of the receivers

1064
00:36:18,242 --> 00:36:19,379
he had in

1065
00:36:19,755 --> 00:36:20,074
Denver,

1066
00:36:20,871 --> 00:36:23,579
and there's a reason Denver has waited to...

1067
00:36:23,818 --> 00:36:25,332
Has tried to trade both of them for

1068
00:36:25,332 --> 00:36:27,174
2 years. Did you watch the film? Like,

1069
00:36:27,492 --> 00:36:29,079
I know you probably watched some. I I

1070
00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:30,348
know asking you if you watch the film

1071
00:36:30,348 --> 00:36:32,332
was, like, just like It's a it's a

1072
00:36:32,332 --> 00:36:33,229
rhetoric question

1073
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,727
spreadsheet? Yeah. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Well, I went

1074
00:36:36,727 --> 00:36:37,925
back and watch a ton of the Denver

1075
00:36:37,925 --> 00:36:39,684
stuff, and I was cracking up because, like,

1076
00:36:39,844 --> 00:36:42,241
literally, Russell Wilson would drop back, and he'd

1077
00:36:42,241 --> 00:36:43,613
be like, 1 pump fake and he's, like,

1078
00:36:43,852 --> 00:36:45,925
I'm running. Yeah. It's like, I'm just taking

1079
00:36:45,925 --> 00:36:47,838
off, like, no one's doing what they're supposed

1080
00:36:47,838 --> 00:36:49,513
to. And I mean, we're we're talking, like,

1081
00:36:49,911 --> 00:36:51,267
I felt like it was an immediate give

1082
00:36:51,267 --> 00:36:52,637
up. I I feel like he in his

1083
00:36:52,637 --> 00:36:54,228
head was just like, I'm just taking matters

1084
00:36:54,228 --> 00:36:55,978
in my own hand. Nobody here is gonna

1085
00:36:55,978 --> 00:36:57,650
be open. Nobody's running the right the right

1086
00:36:57,650 --> 00:36:59,480
route. I'm I'm out of here. I'm out

1087
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,811
here here. I mean, even... And even before

1088
00:37:01,891 --> 00:37:04,607
Shawn Payton offense the year before, it was

1089
00:37:04,607 --> 00:37:07,255
a disaster... There were... The first 5 games

1090
00:37:07,255 --> 00:37:09,005
where he was literally like, on, I'm gonna

1091
00:37:09,005 --> 00:37:10,915
trust these guys, and I'm gonna do the

1092
00:37:10,915 --> 00:37:13,005
things that we're supposed to do, and

1093
00:37:13,460 --> 00:37:16,099
he had... The chart was fantastic.

1094
00:37:16,576 --> 00:37:17,291
The drops,

1095
00:37:17,928 --> 00:37:20,472
the the routes, the the... And like that

1096
00:37:20,472 --> 00:37:22,062
the year, they actually got on a little

1097
00:37:22,062 --> 00:37:24,063
bit of a groove. They beat really good

1098
00:37:24,063 --> 00:37:25,967
teams. And he and even Jerry Judy, like,

1099
00:37:26,126 --> 00:37:27,634
had, like, a 4 or 5 game stretch

1100
00:37:27,634 --> 00:37:29,776
where they were cooking together, hitting those deep

1101
00:37:29,776 --> 00:37:31,442
crosses, the things we got used to seeing.

1102
00:37:31,854 --> 00:37:33,610
Know in Seattle? I don't think Russ is

1103
00:37:33,610 --> 00:37:35,606
done. He's done being the Darling of the

1104
00:37:35,606 --> 00:37:38,400
media from, like, 3 years ago, but he's

1105
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,316
not done as a football player. And I...

1106
00:37:40,795 --> 00:37:43,128
And The player that most in ent me

1107
00:37:43,128 --> 00:37:45,865
probably if if we're gonna go beyond Russ

1108
00:37:46,244 --> 00:37:47,543
is Calvin Austin

1109
00:37:48,002 --> 00:37:50,733
as like a late round guy. And the

1110
00:37:50,733 --> 00:37:53,605
reason is just from a scouting perspective,

1111
00:37:54,801 --> 00:37:56,716
I heard everybody for you. You know, everyone

1112
00:37:56,716 --> 00:37:58,190
was excited about

1113
00:37:58,489 --> 00:38:00,969
Wand Robinson is that kind of big play

1114
00:38:00,969 --> 00:38:02,969
slot receiver who could be something and I

1115
00:38:02,969 --> 00:38:05,130
thought, there are 2 other players who are

1116
00:38:05,130 --> 00:38:07,874
better than Wand Robinson who fit that same

1117
00:38:07,931 --> 00:38:08,431
physical

1118
00:38:08,807 --> 00:38:11,672
profile who have more skills as a route

1119
00:38:11,672 --> 00:38:14,471
as route runners and pass catcher. 1 of

1120
00:38:14,471 --> 00:38:16,297
them is lighting up the Canadian League in

1121
00:38:16,456 --> 00:38:17,353
Ka lil Pi.

1122
00:38:17,806 --> 00:38:20,585
And the other 1 is Calvin Austin, who

1123
00:38:20,585 --> 00:38:23,703
basically, when he... His rookie year, everyone was

1124
00:38:23,703 --> 00:38:25,621
commenting about oh my god. How fast this

1125
00:38:25,621 --> 00:38:27,458
guy is, and Supposed to then he got

1126
00:38:27,458 --> 00:38:29,716
hurt. And then he he had some moments

1127
00:38:29,855 --> 00:38:31,866
isolate in moments last year they've in intrigued,

1128
00:38:32,185 --> 00:38:34,500
but I think that they're looking at him.

1129
00:38:35,139 --> 00:38:36,576
And I think they're trying to figure out

1130
00:38:36,576 --> 00:38:38,012
a way to use them a little bit

1131
00:38:38,012 --> 00:38:39,782
more. And that that makes sense when you

1132
00:38:39,782 --> 00:38:42,331
have George Pick who I think is gonna

1133
00:38:42,331 --> 00:38:44,162
be a productive fantasy player,

1134
00:38:45,675 --> 00:38:47,826
but has some things with his profile that

1135
00:38:47,826 --> 00:38:48,739
will see

1136
00:38:49,352 --> 00:38:51,739
whether he takes that to the wide receiver

1137
00:38:51,739 --> 00:38:53,568
1 level. I don't think he's gonna quite

1138
00:38:53,568 --> 00:38:53,965
get there.

1139
00:38:55,254 --> 00:38:57,427
He have Van Jefferson who to me

1140
00:38:57,803 --> 00:39:00,034
is... I I just laugh like, father like

1141
00:39:00,034 --> 00:39:02,858
son. I mean, literally, his his dad Sean

1142
00:39:03,073 --> 00:39:04,979
was... Is a wide receiver coach, but couldn't

1143
00:39:04,979 --> 00:39:07,203
catch the ball consistently enough to stick to

1144
00:39:07,203 --> 00:39:09,109
1 team many time for any length of

1145
00:39:09,109 --> 00:39:11,110
time and be reliable.

1146
00:39:11,586 --> 00:39:14,628
And Van has has had trouble since Florida

1147
00:39:15,082 --> 00:39:18,180
addressing and catching the football in levels that

1148
00:39:18,180 --> 00:39:20,339
would ex... You would make him a a

1149
00:39:20,339 --> 00:39:22,958
legitimate wide receiver 2 or, you know, anything

1150
00:39:22,958 --> 00:39:24,943
more than maybe a a wide receiver 3

1151
00:39:24,943 --> 00:39:26,744
on a good year. And I look at

1152
00:39:27,103 --> 00:39:29,496
Austin, I go, could this guy be Russell

1153
00:39:29,655 --> 00:39:30,851
Wilson Doug Baldwin.

1154
00:39:31,250 --> 00:39:33,084
And what was funny is, Russ said, there's

1155
00:39:33,084 --> 00:39:34,519
a lot of it about him that reminds

1156
00:39:34,519 --> 00:39:35,636
me of Tyler locket.

1157
00:39:36,288 --> 00:39:39,315
So, you know, same role in a sense.

1158
00:39:39,554 --> 00:39:41,306
I just was thinking of... My question is

1159
00:39:41,306 --> 00:39:42,739
will they have the role? Because, I mean,

1160
00:39:42,978 --> 00:39:44,945
they drafted Roman Wilson to be a vertical

1161
00:39:45,063 --> 00:39:47,284
slot as well. Yeah. They have. But I

1162
00:39:47,284 --> 00:39:49,109
don't think Roman Wilson knows how to run

1163
00:39:49,109 --> 00:39:51,013
man to man routes very well or get

1164
00:39:51,013 --> 00:39:52,520
off the line of sq now from the

1165
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:53,908
slot. It may not not matter

1166
00:39:54,282 --> 00:39:55,021
if he's

1167
00:39:55,793 --> 00:39:57,623
understanding the coverage is and the work that

1168
00:39:57,623 --> 00:40:00,008
you would see here. So there is a

1169
00:40:00,008 --> 00:40:02,884
very good chance. I don't have Austin projected

1170
00:40:02,884 --> 00:40:04,789
for anything much, you know, because I'm not,

1171
00:40:04,869 --> 00:40:07,409
like telling people go out and get Calvin

1172
00:40:07,489 --> 00:40:08,759
Austin to make it a problem. No. I

1173
00:40:08,759 --> 00:40:10,426
love this kind of stuff because always trying

1174
00:40:10,426 --> 00:40:12,110
to of like someone else to take in

1175
00:40:12,110 --> 00:40:13,699
the very last round of a best bald

1176
00:40:13,699 --> 00:40:15,050
ass. And I'll be honest. I haven't clicked.

1177
00:40:15,210 --> 00:40:17,038
I have not clicked on Calvin austin, then

1178
00:40:17,038 --> 00:40:19,284
maybe I'll I'll sprinkle man. Yeah. I think

1179
00:40:19,363 --> 00:40:20,961
Roman Wilson is a guy they wanna shoe

1180
00:40:20,961 --> 00:40:22,719
horn in there. But I think Calvin Austin,

1181
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,797
the thing that separated him from say, like,

1182
00:40:25,597 --> 00:40:28,009
Wand dale Robinson in terms of how they

1183
00:40:28,009 --> 00:40:30,407
look... You know, they look like similar players

1184
00:40:30,407 --> 00:40:33,284
have, like, twins and almost everything. Except awesome

1185
00:40:33,284 --> 00:40:35,062
was a little bit quick more explosive

1186
00:40:35,441 --> 00:40:38,168
is that Austin actually can win 1 on

1187
00:40:38,168 --> 00:40:41,108
1 on the outside, even on in in

1188
00:40:41,108 --> 00:40:43,492
college that, in a way that W could

1189
00:40:43,492 --> 00:40:45,161
never do. And he could go up and

1190
00:40:45,161 --> 00:40:47,323
win the ball and of and also win

1191
00:40:47,323 --> 00:40:50,425
press coverage and look good as a vertical

1192
00:40:50,425 --> 00:40:53,184
route runner. And I think that he's a

1193
00:40:53,304 --> 00:40:54,603
type a player that if

1194
00:40:55,222 --> 00:40:57,059
we see him a little more invent use

1195
00:40:57,059 --> 00:40:57,539
from him,

1196
00:40:58,258 --> 00:41:00,015
You know, he's the guy that maybe if

1197
00:41:00,015 --> 00:41:01,865
they do add motion, but you were probably

1198
00:41:01,865 --> 00:41:03,777
not gonna see. If they did add motion,

1199
00:41:04,016 --> 00:41:05,450
he'd be the guy that I think would

1200
00:41:05,450 --> 00:41:07,203
make the most... No. He bet. Arthur Smith

1201
00:41:07,203 --> 00:41:08,637
runs a ton of motion. Well, I think

1202
00:41:08,637 --> 00:41:09,831
you can expect you're gonna see a ton

1203
00:41:09,831 --> 00:41:11,755
of it. Then he's the guy that I

1204
00:41:11,755 --> 00:41:13,266
think would make the most sense to be

1205
00:41:13,266 --> 00:41:15,253
used that way. And so you're gonna get

1206
00:41:15,253 --> 00:41:17,001
them in the short passing game. You're gonna

1207
00:41:17,001 --> 00:41:17,955
get them a little bit in the run

1208
00:41:17,955 --> 00:41:21,019
game. And you may also get him moved

1209
00:41:21,158 --> 00:41:23,156
outside at certain matchup ups where he can

1210
00:41:23,156 --> 00:41:24,914
have winning matchup ups either from the slaughter

1211
00:41:24,914 --> 00:41:26,753
outside in the vertical game. Whereas with Roman

1212
00:41:26,832 --> 00:41:28,191
Wilson, I don't trust him to get off

1213
00:41:28,191 --> 00:41:29,803
the line of Sc. I don't trust trust

1214
00:41:29,803 --> 00:41:31,813
him to to win

1215
00:41:32,188 --> 00:41:35,606
with setups with stems against man coverage. I

1216
00:41:35,606 --> 00:41:37,769
don't think he really under... He 1 of

1217
00:41:37,769 --> 00:41:39,927
those guides that as a route runner, I

1218
00:41:39,927 --> 00:41:40,726
thought he was bad,

1219
00:41:41,525 --> 00:41:43,842
and that he needed work in certain areas

1220
00:41:43,842 --> 00:41:45,121
that aren't... It's improv,

1221
00:41:45,521 --> 00:41:46,855
but I think he's more of a long

1222
00:41:47,054 --> 00:41:48,809
term bet, and I think they're gonna figure

1223
00:41:48,809 --> 00:41:51,441
that out what by week 5. By week

1224
00:41:51,441 --> 00:41:54,232
5, The news hasn't been super positive or

1225
00:41:54,232 --> 00:41:56,146
or any of the Ot stuff on Roman

1226
00:41:56,226 --> 00:41:58,260
Wilson. I mean, sounds like he's getting coached

1227
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:58,960
pretty hard.

1228
00:41:59,519 --> 00:42:01,280
He's Sounds, like they're really trying to push

1229
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,760
him. Yeah. He needs it. He's like, Scott

1230
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,002
I I wouldn't be surprised if Scotty Miller

1231
00:42:06,002 --> 00:42:09,103
gets more more love in Pittsburgh from the...

1232
00:42:09,262 --> 00:42:11,409
With the ball, than Roman Wilson does,

1233
00:42:12,219 --> 00:42:12,536
this year.

1234
00:42:13,331 --> 00:42:15,715
You know, down the line maybe more, But

1235
00:42:15,874 --> 00:42:18,257
I... I would be surprised if 1 is...

1236
00:42:19,052 --> 00:42:20,402
And not also if you're just gonna read

1237
00:42:20,402 --> 00:42:22,570
the tea leaves of the media. You know,

1238
00:42:23,288 --> 00:42:24,485
they keep talking about...

1239
00:42:25,282 --> 00:42:27,118
Are we gonna need to trade for another

1240
00:42:27,118 --> 00:42:27,836
wide receiver?

1241
00:42:28,569 --> 00:42:30,086
Means that they're hearing a lot of pe...

1242
00:42:30,245 --> 00:42:31,304
A lot of things from

1243
00:42:31,922 --> 00:42:34,317
coaches that isn't very positive about this core.

1244
00:42:35,674 --> 00:42:37,885
And I I'm not surprised why because Ban

1245
00:42:38,083 --> 00:42:40,228
Jefferson and Roman Wilson aren't the answers there,

1246
00:42:40,705 --> 00:42:42,770
and Miller really isn't the answer either. So

1247
00:42:42,770 --> 00:42:44,756
you got pick and who else. And I

1248
00:42:44,756 --> 00:42:46,861
think they a guy that the team probably

1249
00:42:47,156 --> 00:42:48,984
has been quietly liking, but he doesn't fit

1250
00:42:48,984 --> 00:42:51,050
the profile because he's short and small,

1251
00:42:51,766 --> 00:42:52,481
is austin.

1252
00:42:53,052 --> 00:42:54,563
And and they don't wanna lean on a

1253
00:42:54,563 --> 00:42:56,153
guy like that. But he's the guy that

1254
00:42:56,153 --> 00:42:57,823
they could wind up leading on and going

1255
00:42:57,823 --> 00:42:58,141
wow.

1256
00:42:58,856 --> 00:42:59,095
Okay.

1257
00:42:59,731 --> 00:43:01,321
We... We had low expectations,

1258
00:43:02,196 --> 00:43:03,797
more special teams oriented in it, but there

1259
00:43:03,797 --> 00:43:05,065
could be something there. So if, you know,

1260
00:43:05,541 --> 00:43:07,285
you've got you've got a late pick and

1261
00:43:07,285 --> 00:43:08,791
you need somebody you wanna take a chance

1262
00:43:08,791 --> 00:43:10,393
on. That's the guy I'm looking it.

1263
00:43:11,350 --> 00:43:13,344
Yeah. I was gonna mention pick,

1264
00:43:13,982 --> 00:43:15,417
but we we can we can hit him

1265
00:43:15,417 --> 00:43:16,294
real quick and move on.

1266
00:43:17,410 --> 00:43:18,766
I think it really comes back to Russ.

1267
00:43:19,005 --> 00:43:21,032
I I have concerns that Russ is,

1268
00:43:22,043 --> 00:43:24,270
you know, cooked. I I agree with you

1269
00:43:24,270 --> 00:43:26,433
on the on the challenges last year with

1270
00:43:26,433 --> 00:43:27,947
the Denver receivers, and that's the thing that,

1271
00:43:28,027 --> 00:43:29,302
like, I think leaves him with and out.

1272
00:43:29,541 --> 00:43:32,272
I think you could probably argue that no

1273
00:43:33,605 --> 00:43:36,050
player in the Nfl has been more impact

1274
00:43:36,089 --> 00:43:38,722
active by how defenses have evolved over the

1275
00:43:38,722 --> 00:43:41,535
last 3 to 4 seasons than Rust. Because

1276
00:43:42,231 --> 00:43:44,225
it's not so much about too deep looks.

1277
00:43:44,464 --> 00:43:46,554
It's about how deep the safe these are,

1278
00:43:46,873 --> 00:43:48,871
right, at the snap of the ball. The

1279
00:43:48,871 --> 00:43:50,708
deepest safety is just playing so much deeper

1280
00:43:50,708 --> 00:43:52,546
than they used to. Is like a center

1281
00:43:52,546 --> 00:43:54,557
filter. You know? I mean, are not really

1282
00:43:54,557 --> 00:43:56,550
playing the run game at all in many

1283
00:43:56,550 --> 00:43:57,688
scenarios. And

1284
00:43:58,225 --> 00:43:59,283
that takes away

1285
00:43:59,979 --> 00:44:02,451
Russ that that moon ball. Right? This just

1286
00:44:02,451 --> 00:44:04,302
so per f place. It leaves your it

1287
00:44:04,302 --> 00:44:06,300
leaves your television screen like a punt. You

1288
00:44:06,300 --> 00:44:07,578
know, I'm... You're like, oh, we're the oh

1289
00:44:07,578 --> 00:44:09,576
there. Comes down. Right in the basket. Of

1290
00:44:09,576 --> 00:44:11,584
a smaller player, you know, being covered by

1291
00:44:11,584 --> 00:44:12,380
a huge db,

1292
00:44:13,016 --> 00:44:15,006
and that's something that now those plays are

1293
00:44:15,006 --> 00:44:17,552
more often into double coverage. Right? So you're

1294
00:44:17,552 --> 00:44:20,272
not getting the single coverage outside single high

1295
00:44:20,272 --> 00:44:21,861
looks as often as you used to. And

1296
00:44:21,861 --> 00:44:23,927
when you do, that the the the safety

1297
00:44:23,927 --> 00:44:26,151
are there really being coached up to take

1298
00:44:26,151 --> 00:44:26,945
away the big play.

1299
00:44:28,152 --> 00:44:29,978
Or you're getting, you know, cover 4, all

1300
00:44:29,978 --> 00:44:32,281
these other different variations, you know, of what's

1301
00:44:32,281 --> 00:44:33,813
going on with defense. So

1302
00:44:34,186 --> 00:44:35,632
when you look at Russ, I mean, that's

1303
00:44:35,632 --> 00:44:38,262
my big concern. Like, his his his money

1304
00:44:38,262 --> 00:44:40,173
play has always been the deep cross, and

1305
00:44:40,173 --> 00:44:42,165
then the the moon ball on a vertical

1306
00:44:42,165 --> 00:44:44,237
route. And and those 2 things. Those 2

1307
00:44:44,237 --> 00:44:46,481
routes me the most 2 impacted routes and

1308
00:44:46,481 --> 00:44:48,710
all of football. So I have concerns there,

1309
00:44:48,869 --> 00:44:49,983
but, like, with pick,

1310
00:44:50,460 --> 00:44:51,575
if russ isn't cooked.

1311
00:44:52,530 --> 00:44:52,928
I mean,

1312
00:44:53,565 --> 00:44:55,891
he's... He He's got things that are similar

1313
00:44:55,891 --> 00:44:57,568
to Dk Calf. You know.

1314
00:44:58,206 --> 00:45:00,202
And some of his flaws are similar to

1315
00:45:00,361 --> 00:45:02,277
Dk dk Met calf. The things he does

1316
00:45:02,277 --> 00:45:03,889
really well. He does really well. Can he

1317
00:45:03,889 --> 00:45:05,646
be a complete route runner that does everything?

1318
00:45:06,046 --> 00:45:07,484
I don't know. Maybe not. But I I

1319
00:45:07,484 --> 00:45:09,162
will say that last year in the games

1320
00:45:09,162 --> 00:45:10,600
and in the year before when they didn't

1321
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,686
have dion to Johnson. They actually opened up

1322
00:45:12,686 --> 00:45:13,323
this m tree.

1323
00:45:14,597 --> 00:45:16,427
He was successful in a lot of those

1324
00:45:16,427 --> 00:45:18,679
ways. Was he perfect probably not

1325
00:45:19,068 --> 00:45:20,599
but he handled a much larger

1326
00:45:21,607 --> 00:45:23,907
you know, variety of routes in the games

1327
00:45:23,907 --> 00:45:26,544
without Dean Johnson. He had a 26 target

1328
00:45:26,544 --> 00:45:28,941
share and plays without D Dean Johnson on

1329
00:45:28,941 --> 00:45:31,199
the field over the last 2 seasons. So

1330
00:45:31,338 --> 00:45:33,735
Pick is that guy right now. He's going

1331
00:45:33,735 --> 00:45:34,235
in

1332
00:45:34,869 --> 00:45:36,463
rounds 4. Good depending on where you guys

1333
00:45:36,463 --> 00:45:37,818
are drafting and we've got a cool, like,

1334
00:45:37,978 --> 00:45:40,050
Adp tool over at fantasy life. You can

1335
00:45:40,050 --> 00:45:42,042
see all the different 80 p's for the

1336
00:45:42,042 --> 00:45:44,518
players across different at sites. But Means going

1337
00:45:44,518 --> 00:45:45,786
anywhere, if you're bet if you're drafting in

1338
00:45:45,786 --> 00:45:47,609
best ball is going around 4, you're drafting

1339
00:45:47,609 --> 00:45:49,036
more in a home league. You're looking at

1340
00:45:49,036 --> 00:45:49,908
around 5 and 6.

1341
00:45:50,637 --> 00:45:52,387
For a guy going in that range, if

1342
00:45:52,387 --> 00:45:52,887
russ

1343
00:45:53,420 --> 00:45:54,715
suddenly isn't

1344
00:45:55,169 --> 00:45:58,293
cooked, and he still has 4000 yard

1345
00:45:58,906 --> 00:46:01,619
passing upside to get to 4000 yards in

1346
00:46:01,619 --> 00:46:02,015
a season.

1347
00:46:03,045 --> 00:46:05,026
In that scenario, I think George Pick would

1348
00:46:05,026 --> 00:46:06,452
have a shot at being a wide receiver

1349
00:46:06,452 --> 00:46:06,690
1.

1350
00:46:07,498 --> 00:46:09,804
If he's more around 3500 yards, you're looking

1351
00:46:09,804 --> 00:46:11,633
at a good wider receiver 2. That's where

1352
00:46:11,713 --> 00:46:13,780
I have them. If if if they're stuck,

1353
00:46:13,939 --> 00:46:17,175
like, in the basement down towards 3200

1354
00:46:17,294 --> 00:46:18,570
yards where they just run the ball all

1355
00:46:18,570 --> 00:46:20,565
the time, like, arthur Smith in Atlanta, then,

1356
00:46:20,644 --> 00:46:21,681
you know, you might have more of a

1357
00:46:21,681 --> 00:46:23,515
wide receiver 3 on your hands. I think

1358
00:46:23,675 --> 00:46:25,669
Pick has a has enough skill set to

1359
00:46:25,669 --> 00:46:27,025
look at him as being a low end

1360
00:46:27,025 --> 00:46:28,792
in range wider receiver 2 right now.

1361
00:46:29,747 --> 00:46:31,419
But it will depend on Russ. Which way

1362
00:46:31,419 --> 00:46:33,091
he goes from there. Could he could climb

1363
00:46:33,091 --> 00:46:34,365
in to be a wider receiver 1 or

1364
00:46:34,365 --> 00:46:36,054
he ends up being a wider receiver 3

1365
00:46:36,054 --> 00:46:36,614
that you just...

1366
00:46:37,335 --> 00:46:38,934
You're really frustrated with when to put them

1367
00:46:38,934 --> 00:46:40,875
in your lineup up. Yeah. And I think

1368
00:46:41,255 --> 00:46:42,695
I think 1 of the things that you

1369
00:46:42,695 --> 00:46:44,190
brought up, that's a great point is about

1370
00:46:44,467 --> 00:46:46,451
obviously, about the coverage is and what what

1371
00:46:46,609 --> 00:46:48,751
Russ was good at. 1... There are 2

1372
00:46:48,751 --> 00:46:51,052
areas where Russell Wilson is underrated at what

1373
00:46:51,052 --> 00:46:53,368
he did, but Pete Carol's off offenses didn't

1374
00:46:53,368 --> 00:46:55,351
really give him enough of these looks, and

1375
00:46:55,431 --> 00:46:57,889
I thought he was really strong at. The

1376
00:46:57,889 --> 00:46:58,920
intermediate to deep scene.

1377
00:46:59,634 --> 00:47:01,792
I thought he was very good that and

1378
00:47:01,792 --> 00:47:04,333
consistently good at that. They they just didn't

1379
00:47:04,333 --> 00:47:06,159
have a tied end to attack those on

1380
00:47:06,159 --> 00:47:07,191
a regular basis.

1381
00:47:07,746 --> 00:47:10,541
You know, late career Jimmy graham doesn't qualify,

1382
00:47:11,098 --> 00:47:13,564
you know, as much. And then also the

1383
00:47:13,564 --> 00:47:16,052
sale route, You know? And I would see

1384
00:47:16,189 --> 00:47:18,275
some of the... Some the more impressive throws

1385
00:47:18,355 --> 00:47:20,827
I saw from Rust his career. Where routes

1386
00:47:20,827 --> 00:47:23,617
like that that can work out reasonably well

1387
00:47:23,617 --> 00:47:25,212
against some of these coverage, and I think

1388
00:47:25,212 --> 00:47:25,985
that he has

1389
00:47:26,661 --> 00:47:28,729
some of the players that he could access

1390
00:47:28,729 --> 00:47:31,354
this with, But we'll see if that gets

1391
00:47:31,354 --> 00:47:33,918
incorporated into his game. I haven't been 3500

1392
00:47:33,918 --> 00:47:34,976
yards right now

1393
00:47:35,514 --> 00:47:37,510
as as my projection for him,

1394
00:47:38,628 --> 00:47:40,943
and then pick I have it about... I

1395
00:47:40,943 --> 00:47:43,512
have him probably more up optimistic than I

1396
00:47:43,512 --> 00:47:46,463
should, but at about 1200 yards and and

1397
00:47:46,463 --> 00:47:48,458
getting a lot of deep. I like being

1398
00:47:48,458 --> 00:47:51,180
optimistic on Pick. He's 1 my... He's of

1399
00:47:51,180 --> 00:47:52,769
wide receivers that get taken in the first

1400
00:47:52,769 --> 00:47:54,676
4 rounds of fantasy drafts. He's my most

1401
00:47:54,676 --> 00:47:55,788
drafted. Gotcha.

1402
00:47:56,424 --> 00:47:59,543
So, you know, this another ugly team in

1403
00:47:59,543 --> 00:48:01,860
a way that that I... That I'm just

1404
00:48:01,860 --> 00:48:04,577
interested in that that that maybe I get

1405
00:48:04,577 --> 00:48:05,615
some of your commentary on.

1406
00:48:06,988 --> 00:48:09,537
Another former Arthur Smith hunt, and that's Tennessee.

1407
00:48:10,254 --> 00:48:12,644
You know? Is there anybody, you know, is

1408
00:48:12,644 --> 00:48:15,034
there anybody with Tennessee that you're like, okay.

1409
00:48:15,273 --> 00:48:17,672
I'm excited or I'm not as excited about

1410
00:48:17,672 --> 00:48:18,783
as other people are,

1411
00:48:19,418 --> 00:48:21,084
you know, like, I'm interested in your thoughts

1412
00:48:21,084 --> 00:48:23,543
on Calvin Ridley, Dean andre Hopkins,

1413
00:48:24,496 --> 00:48:26,202
or And then also this back

1414
00:48:26,577 --> 00:48:27,077
split

1415
00:48:27,451 --> 00:48:29,438
with... Because you're hearing that this is gonna

1416
00:48:29,438 --> 00:48:30,812
be a true split

1417
00:48:31,266 --> 00:48:32,061
of role.

1418
00:48:32,954 --> 00:48:33,753
Not just like,

1419
00:48:34,712 --> 00:48:37,370
okay. We're gonna have Ra most his mister

1420
00:48:37,429 --> 00:48:39,747
inside and Devon a chain as mister Big

1421
00:48:39,747 --> 00:48:42,558
play outside in space. Even though there's a

1422
00:48:42,558 --> 00:48:44,871
mixture in between with those guys. With poll

1423
00:48:44,871 --> 00:48:47,502
spears, it sounds like they're saying, really, they're...

1424
00:48:48,060 --> 00:48:50,213
We're just... We're giving them the same type

1425
00:48:50,213 --> 00:48:51,112
of responsibility

1426
00:48:51,503 --> 00:48:52,934
we're just splitting it down in the middle

1427
00:48:52,934 --> 00:48:55,638
at this point. So so what's your thoughts

1428
00:48:55,638 --> 00:48:57,308
on the on this often offense? So I

1429
00:48:57,308 --> 00:48:58,898
mean, do you think well Levi can do

1430
00:48:58,898 --> 00:49:01,148
it? Do you and if he can't or

1431
00:49:01,300 --> 00:49:03,699
get somewhere in between, is there anybody you're

1432
00:49:03,699 --> 00:49:05,380
looking at and going? Yeah. I I still

1433
00:49:05,380 --> 00:49:08,359
think that they're good options for for fantasy

1434
00:49:08,659 --> 00:49:09,460
for the value. If.

1435
00:49:10,751 --> 00:49:11,889
If Brian Call

1436
00:49:12,744 --> 00:49:14,520
just comes in and tries to run

1437
00:49:15,296 --> 00:49:16,891
an offense like Zach Taylor did,

1438
00:49:17,847 --> 00:49:19,857
I don't think they're a chance. Right?

1439
00:49:20,655 --> 00:49:22,252
Honestly, I don't think I think exact Taylor

1440
00:49:22,252 --> 00:49:24,008
is 1 of the worst head coaches in

1441
00:49:24,008 --> 00:49:26,084
the league as far as like, doing things

1442
00:49:26,084 --> 00:49:28,135
to help his players out. There's just easy

1443
00:49:28,412 --> 00:49:30,000
that the data is shown that you could

1444
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,905
be pressing as a head coach. We've already

1445
00:49:31,905 --> 00:49:34,524
talked about them, motion, play action,

1446
00:49:35,556 --> 00:49:37,484
buttons the way you align your receivers, the

1447
00:49:37,484 --> 00:49:39,717
bunch sets, giving them a the the a

1448
00:49:39,717 --> 00:49:41,951
variety to break in or out. Making defenses

1449
00:49:41,951 --> 00:49:44,046
just just have to think about everything drinks

1450
00:49:44,104 --> 00:49:47,390
place. Yeah. Yes. Odd before the snap that

1451
00:49:47,390 --> 00:49:49,465
makes a line or go. Okay. Trying to

1452
00:49:49,465 --> 00:49:50,981
get his call right, you know, and then

1453
00:49:50,981 --> 00:49:52,737
you get the ball snapped. All these little

1454
00:49:52,737 --> 00:49:55,536
bitty edges that give you a slight edge

1455
00:49:55,536 --> 00:49:58,000
as a quarterback right before or right after

1456
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,827
the snap of the football that creates space

1457
00:49:59,827 --> 00:50:00,622
for your teammates.

1458
00:50:01,193 --> 00:50:02,778
And really Zach Taylor done none of those

1459
00:50:02,778 --> 00:50:04,285
things. Now he's not had to because he

1460
00:50:04,285 --> 00:50:06,029
has Joe burrow, and he has J chase,

1461
00:50:06,187 --> 00:50:07,931
and he has t Higgins. So he's been

1462
00:50:07,931 --> 00:50:10,010
able to really rest on his laurel, if

1463
00:50:10,010 --> 00:50:11,759
you will. But what's funny? He didn't come

1464
00:50:11,759 --> 00:50:13,984
from that. He came from Sean Mc, who

1465
00:50:13,984 --> 00:50:15,811
does all of these things. For Matt Stafford.

1466
00:50:16,224 --> 00:50:17,733
I don't understand Zach Taylor.

1467
00:50:18,526 --> 00:50:20,353
So when I look at Call, I see

1468
00:50:20,353 --> 00:50:21,623
a lot of people and they're like, oh,

1469
00:50:22,655 --> 00:50:24,323
he comes from Zach Taylor offense. That's a

1470
00:50:24,323 --> 00:50:26,168
really good offense. They draw they drop back

1471
00:50:26,168 --> 00:50:28,163
to pass the ball way over expected. They're

1472
00:50:28,163 --> 00:50:29,919
gonna be a past heavy team. Well, what

1473
00:50:29,999 --> 00:50:31,515
I found in my research is the number

1474
00:50:31,515 --> 00:50:33,510
1 driver of being a past heavy team.

1475
00:50:34,005 --> 00:50:36,242
Like, in neutral situations is your quarterback is

1476
00:50:36,242 --> 00:50:38,979
good. It's not the core... The most coordinators

1477
00:50:39,598 --> 00:50:40,237
or coaches,

1478
00:50:40,876 --> 00:50:42,610
they're gonna base how much they're gonna throw

1479
00:50:42,729 --> 00:50:44,962
all in a neutral situation on how good

1480
00:50:44,962 --> 00:50:47,433
their quarterback is. And so that's still really

1481
00:50:47,433 --> 00:50:48,868
gonna be up to Will levi because if

1482
00:50:48,868 --> 00:50:50,224
you look at Will levi from last year,

1483
00:50:50,861 --> 00:50:53,343
there were definitely some flashes, but overall, he's

1484
00:50:53,343 --> 00:50:54,775
not ready to drop back and throw the

1485
00:50:54,775 --> 00:50:56,286
ball 65 percent of the time. Yeah. That...

1486
00:50:56,445 --> 00:50:58,195
That's not gonna be a winning formula unless

1487
00:50:58,195 --> 00:50:59,092
he is made

1488
00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:01,559
from me. And we've seen this before unless

1489
00:51:01,559 --> 00:51:03,559
he's made like Josh Allen strides in this

1490
00:51:03,559 --> 00:51:05,480
off season. The year that Josh Allen went

1491
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,159
from not having stuff on eggs to getting

1492
00:51:07,159 --> 00:51:10,233
him. Like this Calvin Ridley somehow help transform

1493
00:51:10,453 --> 00:51:12,930
will love us to, like, that level, which

1494
00:51:13,010 --> 00:51:14,767
I I think, you know, anytime you start

1495
00:51:14,767 --> 00:51:16,765
pointing to outliers like that, you get yourself

1496
00:51:16,765 --> 00:51:18,796
into trouble most of the time guys don't

1497
00:51:18,854 --> 00:51:20,688
improve that much based off of 1 move.

1498
00:51:20,847 --> 00:51:23,079
So what I'll say is this, I think

1499
00:51:23,079 --> 00:51:24,753
the offense is gonna throw the ball more

1500
00:51:24,753 --> 00:51:26,124
than last year, but that's not saying a

1501
00:51:26,124 --> 00:51:27,721
lot because they've had Mike Vr. 1 of

1502
00:51:27,721 --> 00:51:30,434
the most run heavy coaches period, no matter

1503
00:51:30,434 --> 00:51:32,110
who was at his quarterback for over the

1504
00:51:32,110 --> 00:51:34,266
last 5 seasons in the Nfl. So it's

1505
00:51:34,266 --> 00:51:36,593
gonna go up. My question is, what is

1506
00:51:36,752 --> 00:51:39,381
Brian Call doing in these other things that

1507
00:51:39,381 --> 00:51:41,373
will make life easy for Will levi because

1508
00:51:41,373 --> 00:51:42,887
in my opinion, if you're just gonna line

1509
00:51:42,887 --> 00:51:44,614
up and say, even though you have hop

1510
00:51:44,893 --> 00:51:46,482
who is aging and it started to show

1511
00:51:46,482 --> 00:51:48,866
signs of wear and tear. Yet Calvin Ridley,

1512
00:51:49,342 --> 00:51:51,170
nice player. You know, I mean, he can

1513
00:51:51,170 --> 00:51:52,778
do some really nice you know, so you've

1514
00:51:52,778 --> 00:51:54,377
got 2 good weapons there, and then you

1515
00:51:54,377 --> 00:51:55,815
add Tyler Boyd. You got Chi.

1516
00:51:56,614 --> 00:51:57,973
You got the 2 running backs. I I

1517
00:51:57,973 --> 00:52:00,370
think you have competent a competent receiving group

1518
00:52:00,370 --> 00:52:02,219
if they're all. I think you have enough

1519
00:52:02,219 --> 00:52:04,928
to stress an Nfl defense. My question is

1520
00:52:04,928 --> 00:52:06,283
if they just come out in all these

1521
00:52:06,283 --> 00:52:08,753
wide alignments, you know, everybody spread out just

1522
00:52:08,753 --> 00:52:10,996
3 wide receivers. I don't know with that,

1523
00:52:11,552 --> 00:52:13,059
like, gets will love us to where we

1524
00:52:13,059 --> 00:52:14,488
want him to be. I think you're gonna

1525
00:52:14,488 --> 00:52:16,313
need to do some other things to really

1526
00:52:16,313 --> 00:52:18,948
try to help him out. So kinda reserve

1527
00:52:18,948 --> 00:52:21,253
opinion. Ultimately, I'm a little under the market,

1528
00:52:21,492 --> 00:52:23,399
I think on pretty much all of these

1529
00:52:23,399 --> 00:52:23,717
players.

1530
00:52:25,148 --> 00:52:26,737
I I don't mind where they go in

1531
00:52:26,737 --> 00:52:28,736
drafts, but I'm not quick to be clicking

1532
00:52:28,736 --> 00:52:30,164
on Tennessee players. Now not in a best

1533
00:52:30,164 --> 00:52:32,623
ball draft. Like, III get, you know,

1534
00:52:34,368 --> 00:52:35,185
Calvin Ridley

1535
00:52:35,494 --> 00:52:37,735
And then I happened to draft Dean Hopkins.

1536
00:52:37,815 --> 00:52:39,094
Then, yeah. I'm gonna come back and draft

1537
00:52:39,094 --> 00:52:40,695
we'll love because I've just basically said on

1538
00:52:40,695 --> 00:52:42,695
this team. I'm bet on the ceo offense.

1539
00:52:42,934 --> 00:52:44,429
But it's not a strategy

1540
00:52:45,025 --> 00:52:47,088
Deploying all the time. I... So I'm not

1541
00:52:47,088 --> 00:52:48,515
as... I don't I don't know that anybody

1542
00:52:48,515 --> 00:52:50,340
in the industry super bullish, but I would

1543
00:52:50,340 --> 00:52:52,189
say I'm slightly pessimistic.

1544
00:52:53,054 --> 00:52:54,812
Versus the market, and most of it does

1545
00:52:54,812 --> 00:52:56,730
come back to will levi. Again. Yeah. Not

1546
00:52:56,730 --> 00:52:58,168
saying he can't do it. So I'm just

1547
00:52:58,168 --> 00:53:00,007
really interested in your thoughts on will levi.

1548
00:53:00,166 --> 00:53:01,820
And if you think that he can progress

1549
00:53:02,019 --> 00:53:03,536
and make that next step because I think

1550
00:53:03,536 --> 00:53:04,813
it really does just come down to him.

1551
00:53:05,292 --> 00:53:06,968
I think 3500

1552
00:53:06,968 --> 00:53:09,123
yards is his ceiling, and I have a

1553
00:53:09,123 --> 00:53:09,842
meta ceiling.

1554
00:53:11,052 --> 00:53:13,115
And I think... But I think the touchdown

1555
00:53:13,115 --> 00:53:14,227
is about 18.

1556
00:53:15,259 --> 00:53:17,402
I don't see him hitting 20 touchdown even

1557
00:53:17,402 --> 00:53:19,957
with Ridley and and Hopkins on name.

1558
00:53:21,227 --> 00:53:23,132
I'm not... I think the run game will

1559
00:53:23,132 --> 00:53:24,029
have to be

1560
00:53:24,482 --> 00:53:26,228
have to pace this, and I feel like

1561
00:53:26,308 --> 00:53:28,469
I'm over optimistic with the run game too.

1562
00:53:29,663 --> 00:53:31,039
I I feel like

1563
00:53:31,414 --> 00:53:33,882
they are the discount bang, and I don't

1564
00:53:33,882 --> 00:53:36,046
even didn't even mean this was Zach Taylor.

1565
00:53:36,364 --> 00:53:37,717
I meant it as, you look at all

1566
00:53:37,717 --> 00:53:38,751
these players and they go,

1567
00:53:39,547 --> 00:53:41,218
what is what does all this have in

1568
00:53:41,218 --> 00:53:42,094
common? And I go,

1569
00:53:42,984 --> 00:53:45,451
the titans are cheap as fuck. Like, they

1570
00:53:45,451 --> 00:53:47,918
just... They... They're picking players that they can

1571
00:53:47,918 --> 00:53:48,952
get discounts on.

1572
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:51,059
And

1573
00:53:51,918 --> 00:53:55,274
and not really... They're not going after guys

1574
00:53:55,274 --> 00:53:57,352
that I think are top quality. They they

1575
00:53:57,352 --> 00:53:59,110
go, the shine has come off some of

1576
00:53:59,110 --> 00:54:00,803
these guys. Let's see if we can get

1577
00:54:00,803 --> 00:54:01,922
some magic out of them.

1578
00:54:02,801 --> 00:54:04,399
It true to make calvin really quite a

1579
00:54:04,399 --> 00:54:07,616
bit. Well, that just that tells you also

1580
00:54:07,755 --> 00:54:10,565
about them. When Cincinnati probably often was in

1581
00:54:10,565 --> 00:54:12,821
the past in Mike Brown's regimes at times

1582
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,556
is that they pick the wrong player to

1583
00:54:14,556 --> 00:54:16,472
be too high on. And I and I

1584
00:54:16,472 --> 00:54:18,160
say that is had Lee is a good

1585
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,887
wide receiver, but I don't think that

1586
00:54:21,342 --> 00:54:22,876
his big year in Atlanta

1587
00:54:23,331 --> 00:54:25,497
is who he really is. I think he's

1588
00:54:25,497 --> 00:54:27,892
a... I think he has catch point issues.

1589
00:54:28,132 --> 00:54:30,048
I think he has some route issues. I

1590
00:54:30,048 --> 00:54:33,161
think he comes up short in in big

1591
00:54:33,161 --> 00:54:34,255
moments that you

1592
00:54:35,405 --> 00:54:37,469
rely on as a why receiver 1, and

1593
00:54:37,469 --> 00:54:39,453
he would be in Jacksonville, I think if

1594
00:54:39,453 --> 00:54:40,406
they saw him as such.

1595
00:54:41,517 --> 00:54:43,760
III others said, well, they could afford him,

1596
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,519
and maybe they wanted to go smarter route.

1597
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,359
Sure, you could make that argument.

1598
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,280
And I still think Ridley is gonna get,

1599
00:54:49,359 --> 00:54:51,760
like, a hundred 40 targets in the neighborhood

1600
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,317
of 80 catches and close to 1100 yards.

1601
00:54:55,030 --> 00:54:56,934
I just don't... I just think that people

1602
00:54:56,934 --> 00:54:59,710
see him as, like, a stuff digs peak

1603
00:54:59,710 --> 00:54:59,948
player.

1604
00:55:00,519 --> 00:55:02,110
And I don't think he's quite there. You

1605
00:55:02,110 --> 00:55:03,939
know? So I think that they they made

1606
00:55:03,939 --> 00:55:05,451
a good call and, like, if we can

1607
00:55:05,451 --> 00:55:07,854
get a discount stuff on digs that fine,

1608
00:55:08,173 --> 00:55:09,932
but you're not gonna get stuff on Dig.

1609
00:55:10,092 --> 00:55:12,429
You're gonna get some broken parts with that

1610
00:55:12,568 --> 00:55:14,247
that you're gonna be, like, that's a little

1611
00:55:14,247 --> 00:55:16,005
nagging. But he had a good year. You

1612
00:55:16,005 --> 00:55:18,967
know, c. And, you know, and it's... I

1613
00:55:18,967 --> 00:55:20,083
don't know. I'm just not a...

1614
00:55:21,039 --> 00:55:22,552
He's not a guy that I go. Is

1615
00:55:22,552 --> 00:55:23,747
he gonna be a surprise.

1616
00:55:24,225 --> 00:55:26,073
He gonna be a surprise wide Receiver 1,

1617
00:55:26,233 --> 00:55:27,750
and I'm gonna get a y receiver 1

1618
00:55:27,750 --> 00:55:29,825
out of this button go. I... What you

1619
00:55:29,825 --> 00:55:32,060
pay for is probably the best that you'll

1620
00:55:32,060 --> 00:55:34,535
get out of here. So... Yeah. The challenge

1621
00:55:34,535 --> 00:55:35,979
I had last year with le, You know,

1622
00:55:36,138 --> 00:55:37,408
and he's 1 of these guys every week,

1623
00:55:37,567 --> 00:55:39,076
down hopkins would pop up and a lot

1624
00:55:39,076 --> 00:55:40,743
of the metrics would care about air yards

1625
00:55:40,743 --> 00:55:42,092
and all these things, and then you'd go

1626
00:55:42,092 --> 00:55:43,621
watch game and You're like, well, hell, like,

1627
00:55:43,780 --> 00:55:45,932
that that wasn't even in the ballpark. You

1628
00:55:45,932 --> 00:55:48,085
know, of Dean Hopkins. I mean, the attempt

1629
00:55:48,085 --> 00:55:49,679
was still there. Yeah. You know, as your

1630
00:55:49,679 --> 00:55:51,605
as your other c hosts, Adam Har says,

1631
00:55:51,764 --> 00:55:53,114
like, the main thing we're looking for is

1632
00:55:53,114 --> 00:55:55,180
intent, and it was there, but but still

1633
00:55:55,180 --> 00:55:56,689
when you watch it, and it's like air

1634
00:55:56,689 --> 00:55:58,039
mail by 10 yards. You're like.

1635
00:55:58,993 --> 00:56:01,951
Okay? Like... So... And that's consistently seeing that.

1636
00:56:02,190 --> 00:56:04,023
It's like, okay. So how how much really

1637
00:56:04,023 --> 00:56:05,536
is a target from Will? That's what it

1638
00:56:05,536 --> 00:56:06,891
brings me back to? How much is a

1639
00:56:06,891 --> 00:56:08,699
target from Will levi is really worth? If

1640
00:56:08,978 --> 00:56:10,893
definitely not anywhere near obviously, like a Patrick

1641
00:56:10,973 --> 00:56:12,887
Mah holmes or Joe Burrow or these other

1642
00:56:12,887 --> 00:56:15,120
guys unless he makes drastic steps. I'm a

1643
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,795
little higher than you are on them is

1644
00:56:16,795 --> 00:56:17,911
it was funny. As I felt like I

1645
00:56:17,911 --> 00:56:18,684
talked pretty negative,

1646
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:20,872
I've got them at 3700

1647
00:56:20,872 --> 00:56:22,622
yards, but I would agree. Like, I I

1648
00:56:22,622 --> 00:56:24,691
don't I don't... It would be crazy for

1649
00:56:24,691 --> 00:56:26,361
them to really go that much higher than

1650
00:56:26,361 --> 00:56:28,849
that. Yeah. I got him at 60 percent

1651
00:56:28,849 --> 00:56:31,010
pass rate. I've seen some people like putting

1652
00:56:31,010 --> 00:56:34,309
them at 63 and 65 percent because Call

1653
00:56:34,849 --> 00:56:36,449
comes from an offense where over the last

1654
00:56:36,449 --> 00:56:38,779
3 years, he at 65 percent. I, again,

1655
00:56:38,859 --> 00:56:41,091
guys, they don't have Joe Burrow. Yeah. They're

1656
00:56:41,091 --> 00:56:43,244
they're not throwing the ball 65 percent. And

1657
00:56:43,244 --> 00:56:45,078
that's even with me accounting for the fact

1658
00:56:45,078 --> 00:56:46,528
that we only think they're winning 6 and

1659
00:56:46,528 --> 00:56:47,959
a half games. So I have them playing

1660
00:56:47,959 --> 00:56:50,105
in trailing game scripts. Yeah. And at a

1661
00:56:50,105 --> 00:56:52,012
60 percent pass rate. So that actually tells

1662
00:56:52,012 --> 00:56:53,974
you I think they're gonna be below drop

1663
00:56:54,094 --> 00:56:57,442
back rate over expectation or right around neutral

1664
00:56:57,442 --> 00:56:59,115
this year based on, like, all all of

1665
00:56:59,115 --> 00:57:00,310
the issues. I will say this.

1666
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:03,837
Call came out and said they wanna throw

1667
00:57:03,837 --> 00:57:05,355
it more, and at least all, you know,

1668
00:57:05,594 --> 00:57:07,352
to your other buddy, sigma bloom. You know

1669
00:57:07,352 --> 00:57:08,890
when he talks about the steady drum

1670
00:57:09,204 --> 00:57:10,715
drum beat. Right? The bread breadcrumbs that were

1671
00:57:10,715 --> 00:57:12,386
following throughout the off season. They said they

1672
00:57:12,386 --> 00:57:13,818
wanna throw the ball more. They said they

1673
00:57:13,818 --> 00:57:15,170
wanna let We'll levi us do his thing.

1674
00:57:15,647 --> 00:57:17,159
And then they went out and They did

1675
00:57:17,159 --> 00:57:19,250
add Calvin Ridley. To go along with Dean

1676
00:57:19,329 --> 00:57:21,489
Hopkins. They added another passing down back in

1677
00:57:21,569 --> 00:57:23,889
Tony Poll to go with Ta Spears. So

1678
00:57:23,889 --> 00:57:25,909
they they have aligned enough things

1679
00:57:26,449 --> 00:57:26,949
that

1680
00:57:27,265 --> 00:57:29,425
I I kinda split the middle with where

1681
00:57:29,425 --> 00:57:31,184
this team used to be versus what the

1682
00:57:31,184 --> 00:57:33,184
bang have done. And so that's that's why

1683
00:57:33,265 --> 00:57:34,785
I think I'm slightly higher than where you

1684
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:37,679
are. So anybody there with graphic design skills

1685
00:57:37,679 --> 00:57:39,039
that would like to make a t shirt.

1686
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,440
I have an idea for you, and that's

1687
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,059
that you take the minions

1688
00:57:43,614 --> 00:57:45,844
from the Disney film, and instead of the

1689
00:57:45,844 --> 00:57:48,097
little helmet heads, you take

1690
00:57:48,713 --> 00:57:51,921
photoshop images of sig bloom in different states

1691
00:57:52,218 --> 00:57:54,548
and have them have minions of that, and

1692
00:57:54,708 --> 00:57:56,386
I will buy a couple, and I will

1693
00:57:56,386 --> 00:57:58,224
definitely give 1 to Joe Bryant because I'm

1694
00:57:58,224 --> 00:57:59,503
sure he would rock this 1.

1695
00:58:00,621 --> 00:58:03,032
The Ci bloom the minions, and you could

1696
00:58:03,032 --> 00:58:03,589
have him...

1697
00:58:04,385 --> 00:58:05,579
1 of them, you should have him in

1698
00:58:05,579 --> 00:58:08,286
a gretel, like, wig, like with the Wendy's

1699
00:58:08,286 --> 00:58:10,769
pony tail, kind, you know, pig tails. Type

1700
00:58:10,769 --> 00:58:12,923
of thing because you you've referenced like the

1701
00:58:12,923 --> 00:58:15,477
narrative of, like, breadcrumbs, you know, you can

1702
00:58:15,477 --> 00:58:17,233
have, like, the hansel and gretel kind of

1703
00:58:17,233 --> 00:58:18,843
thing. Yeah. You can have blue in all

1704
00:58:18,843 --> 00:58:19,978
those different states

1705
00:58:20,750 --> 00:58:22,838
with that. And the minions all setting on

1706
00:58:22,974 --> 00:58:25,436
with with those backdrop, but somehow on a

1707
00:58:25,436 --> 00:58:27,422
couch. Yep. All on a couch. Yep. Like,

1708
00:58:27,661 --> 00:58:29,347
you can have balloons in the middle and

1709
00:58:29,347 --> 00:58:31,740
then surrounded by all his little minions, or

1710
00:58:31,740 --> 00:58:33,734
you can have Joe on the couch and

1711
00:58:33,734 --> 00:58:36,206
have Bloom b the minions, You know, Something

1712
00:58:36,206 --> 00:58:37,881
like that. You're welcome. Not not sure it's

1713
00:58:37,881 --> 00:58:39,647
gonna be a big maker for you, but

1714
00:58:39,647 --> 00:58:41,316
it'll be popular in our industry. It'd be

1715
00:58:41,316 --> 00:58:43,383
very neat, yeah. Be very niche, but we'd

1716
00:58:43,383 --> 00:58:44,257
have fun. You know,

1717
00:58:45,290 --> 00:58:47,119
I'll take it. But, yeah. No. I mean,

1718
00:58:47,927 --> 00:58:49,433
I'm with you. I like the... You know,

1719
00:58:49,591 --> 00:58:50,780
I like where you're heading with it. I'm

1720
00:58:50,780 --> 00:58:52,919
probably 1 of those ones that with looking

1721
00:58:52,919 --> 00:58:54,504
at Le and going. Yeah. I had them

1722
00:58:54,504 --> 00:58:55,869
at 63.6

1723
00:58:55,869 --> 00:58:57,380
percent, but I get your point, and I

1724
00:58:57,380 --> 00:58:59,528
think that makes sense that, you know, you're

1725
00:58:59,528 --> 00:59:01,517
looking at what Zach Taylor isn't?

1726
00:59:02,487 --> 00:59:05,437
And and what will Levi hasn't been. So

1727
00:59:05,437 --> 00:59:07,430
it gives me a chance to to kinda

1728
00:59:07,430 --> 00:59:08,568
lower lower

1729
00:59:09,264 --> 00:59:10,793
And again, you have to be careful these

1730
00:59:10,793 --> 00:59:12,866
things. Because Call may just have a very

1731
00:59:12,866 --> 00:59:14,779
different idea, even though he's been under Zach

1732
00:59:14,859 --> 00:59:16,533
Taylor. Yeah. You know, because he did he

1733
00:59:16,533 --> 00:59:18,787
wouldn't... He he was more of a

1734
00:59:19,257 --> 00:59:21,318
he he kept everything moving from a standpoint

1735
00:59:21,318 --> 00:59:22,902
and kept all the offensive of meetings going

1736
00:59:22,902 --> 00:59:24,804
and gets everything implemented during the week. You

1737
00:59:24,804 --> 00:59:26,284
know, he's helping come up with the game.

1738
00:59:26,564 --> 00:59:28,559
But Zach Taylor still calling the game. You

1739
00:59:28,559 --> 00:59:29,379
know? So

1740
00:59:30,316 --> 00:59:32,152
we sometimes see these guys that come out

1741
00:59:32,152 --> 00:59:34,148
from under another coach and they actually, you

1742
00:59:34,148 --> 00:59:36,078
know, are nothing like The coach they came

1743
00:59:36,078 --> 00:59:37,348
out from under. So, I mean, you have...

1744
00:59:37,825 --> 00:59:39,651
These things can be tricky. For sure. And

1745
00:59:39,810 --> 00:59:41,239
I do like though that we came out

1746
00:59:41,239 --> 00:59:43,914
of this this segment thinking that really, they

1747
00:59:44,114 --> 00:59:45,786
best way to describe Zach Taylor is that

1748
00:59:45,786 --> 00:59:48,333
he's a Sean Mc flu as opposed to

1749
00:59:48,333 --> 00:59:51,438
yes a Sean Sean Sean Mc. Yeah. Could

1750
00:59:51,438 --> 00:59:52,130
you imagine

1751
00:59:52,647 --> 00:59:55,117
Jim Chase, getting to do the things that

1752
00:59:55,276 --> 00:59:57,905
Cooper cup, Ty Hill, and these other guys

1753
00:59:57,905 --> 01:00:00,136
get to do. Motion motion getting operate from

1754
01:00:00,136 --> 01:00:01,251
the slot more often.

1755
01:00:01,983 --> 01:00:03,734
He would destroy. But, no. Let's just line

1756
01:00:03,734 --> 01:00:05,804
him up out Yeah. I'm not that. III

1757
01:00:05,804 --> 01:00:07,157
can't be... I can't be allowed to be

1758
01:00:07,157 --> 01:00:09,306
that optimistic when it comes to football anymore.

1759
01:00:09,719 --> 01:00:11,951
If I could. I would just... I would...

1760
01:00:12,110 --> 01:00:14,503
Yeah. I would be... That would that would

1761
01:00:14,503 --> 01:00:17,054
be insane. I'm totally with you. Now, guy,

1762
01:00:17,213 --> 01:00:19,139
I am very optimistic about who came from

1763
01:00:19,218 --> 01:00:22,554
Ls u is Malik Neighbors. But you... Even

1764
01:00:22,554 --> 01:00:25,277
in this giant's offense that to me, looks

1765
01:00:25,492 --> 01:00:25,810
like,

1766
01:00:26,842 --> 01:00:28,927
not not that great. And I don't think

1767
01:00:28,927 --> 01:00:30,144
anybody really looks at this

1768
01:00:30,601 --> 01:00:33,313
team is that that very good. You know,

1769
01:00:33,552 --> 01:00:35,148
Not that great. But you look at the

1770
01:00:35,228 --> 01:00:37,914
Wide receiver depth chart, and before Malik neighbor

1771
01:00:38,194 --> 01:00:39,313
I look at this and go, Jail and

1772
01:00:39,393 --> 01:00:42,030
Hyatt, deep threat probably can't... Probably not gonna

1773
01:00:42,030 --> 01:00:43,548
see him expand this game to be much

1774
01:00:43,548 --> 01:00:45,387
more than that this year. We'll see. Maybe

1775
01:00:45,387 --> 01:00:47,360
it we'll make some strides. Isaiah h

1776
01:00:47,958 --> 01:00:48,276
you know,

1777
01:00:48,994 --> 01:00:52,444
zone player who works in underneath area

1778
01:00:53,379 --> 01:00:55,452
can make some contested catches occasionally when he

1779
01:00:55,452 --> 01:00:57,536
isn't clap of the ball and attacking it

1780
01:00:57,536 --> 01:00:57,934
weirdly.

1781
01:00:58,491 --> 01:00:59,286
Darius Sla...

1782
01:01:00,003 --> 01:01:02,070
I mean, he... This is a... This was

1783
01:01:02,070 --> 01:01:04,075
your wide receiver 1. He should probably be

1784
01:01:04,075 --> 01:01:05,907
a low end wide receiver 2 at best,

1785
01:01:06,225 --> 01:01:07,658
though he's improved his game.

1786
01:01:08,295 --> 01:01:10,604
He's not, you know, he's not the guy.

1787
01:01:11,161 --> 01:01:13,967
Alan and said, I mean, where did... We

1788
01:01:13,967 --> 01:01:15,802
don't... We don't know where he's really gone

1789
01:01:15,802 --> 01:01:16,860
since Chicago

1790
01:01:17,876 --> 01:01:19,790
at at this at this stage. So I

1791
01:01:19,790 --> 01:01:21,066
don't think he's gonna get it back, and

1792
01:01:21,066 --> 01:01:22,915
then we've already met I've already mentioned Wand

1793
01:01:22,915 --> 01:01:23,734
dale Robinson

1794
01:01:24,190 --> 01:01:26,422
as a as an overrated kind of option.

1795
01:01:26,821 --> 01:01:27,937
You look at that team when you go,

1796
01:01:28,096 --> 01:01:29,770
wow, that's a disaster of a death chart.

1797
01:01:30,103 --> 01:01:31,218
For an Nfl team.

1798
01:01:31,934 --> 01:01:33,686
And then you add Malik neighbors to it,

1799
01:01:33,845 --> 01:01:35,597
and suddenly, I look at and go, okay.

1800
01:01:35,836 --> 01:01:38,796
Well, at least, there's a play where the

1801
01:01:38,796 --> 01:01:40,706
rest of these guys actually have a fit.

1802
01:01:41,263 --> 01:01:43,491
Like, they actually fit into... They could actually

1803
01:01:43,491 --> 01:01:45,893
fit into a role. Doesn't mean that that

1804
01:01:45,893 --> 01:01:47,486
they're the best options for each...

1805
01:01:48,362 --> 01:01:50,035
For that type of role that you could

1806
01:01:50,035 --> 01:01:52,742
get some... From somewhere else. But neighbors as

1807
01:01:52,742 --> 01:01:55,700
of, as a primary, I'm with that, even

1808
01:01:55,700 --> 01:01:56,176
this year.

1809
01:01:56,890 --> 01:01:58,953
And, you know, if he's gonna get the

1810
01:01:58,953 --> 01:01:59,349
volume,

1811
01:01:59,984 --> 01:02:01,492
I'm still looking at him as a thousand

1812
01:02:01,492 --> 01:02:03,414
yard receiver or off the bat. As a

1813
01:02:03,414 --> 01:02:05,651
rookie. I could see him as a 80

1814
01:02:05,651 --> 01:02:09,006
catch, thousand yard, 7 touchdown receiver. I'd take

1815
01:02:09,006 --> 01:02:10,878
him over, I probably I take them

1816
01:02:12,293 --> 01:02:14,367
where people are... I'm not I haven't looked

1817
01:02:14,367 --> 01:02:15,882
at value. I don't remember value right off

1818
01:02:15,882 --> 01:02:17,238
the bat, but I have to imagine he's

1819
01:02:17,238 --> 01:02:19,630
getting drafted after Calvin Ridley or in the

1820
01:02:19,630 --> 01:02:20,443
same area.

1821
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,355
And if he goes before, people are all.

1822
01:02:24,594 --> 01:02:27,149
Oh, they're on Neighbors right now, like,

1823
01:02:28,346 --> 01:02:30,215
in in best drafts goes

1824
01:02:30,907 --> 01:02:32,654
anywhere from the end of round 2 to

1825
01:02:32,654 --> 01:02:33,766
the middle of round 3.

1826
01:02:34,481 --> 01:02:35,989
Go to home leagues. You can start looking

1827
01:02:35,989 --> 01:02:38,213
at Espn and Yahoo, you start getting a

1828
01:02:38,213 --> 01:02:40,859
bigger out, even like, over an F p,

1829
01:02:41,019 --> 01:02:42,934
you're getting him in round 4. Yeah. So

1830
01:02:42,934 --> 01:02:44,131
it just... It really depends on the side,

1831
01:02:44,371 --> 01:02:47,339
but anywhere from late round 2 to on

1832
01:02:47,339 --> 01:02:49,735
5. Well, for the sharp out there, then

1833
01:02:49,735 --> 01:02:52,213
we know... They're on them. But for the

1834
01:02:52,213 --> 01:02:53,650
but for the home league people who are

1835
01:02:53,650 --> 01:02:56,136
listening to this who are end up, then,

1836
01:02:56,295 --> 01:02:58,047
yeah, He's a value. And I think that's

1837
01:02:58,047 --> 01:02:59,480
where I'm at. I just... I don't think

1838
01:02:59,639 --> 01:03:01,231
I don't even think Daniel Jones can fuck

1839
01:03:01,231 --> 01:03:01,550
him up.

1840
01:03:02,759 --> 01:03:03,657
And so

1841
01:03:04,671 --> 01:03:07,061
I mean, I... Well, that's good because that's

1842
01:03:07,061 --> 01:03:08,894
gonna be used throwing run took the ball

1843
01:03:08,894 --> 01:03:09,850
long things fail.

1844
01:03:10,344 --> 01:03:12,821
And I think that as long as III

1845
01:03:12,821 --> 01:03:15,057
don't have Drew lock projected for anything right

1846
01:03:15,057 --> 01:03:15,217
now.

1847
01:03:16,016 --> 01:03:16,916
But I

1848
01:03:18,263 --> 01:03:20,409
believe pissed to you. But I do believe

1849
01:03:20,409 --> 01:03:22,952
that Drew lock is going to take over

1850
01:03:22,952 --> 01:03:25,494
for that. Like, I'm a... Like, for me,

1851
01:03:25,733 --> 01:03:27,505
I I think Drew lock it, you know,

1852
01:03:27,664 --> 01:03:29,105
Drew lock said all the right things.

1853
01:03:29,824 --> 01:03:31,924
But he's the he's the bridge

1854
01:03:32,464 --> 01:03:34,224
until they find the next quarterback. And that...

1855
01:03:34,464 --> 01:03:36,877
And I think and there's a chance, an

1856
01:03:36,877 --> 01:03:38,954
outside chance that he could be that next

1857
01:03:38,954 --> 01:03:42,605
quarterback. It's it's still it's still low, but

1858
01:03:42,724 --> 01:03:45,282
it's but but I'm open to the idea,

1859
01:03:45,521 --> 01:03:47,279
because I think that Drew lock has the

1860
01:03:47,279 --> 01:03:47,679
skills,

1861
01:03:48,238 --> 01:03:50,316
he needed the right mindset. And I think

1862
01:03:50,316 --> 01:03:53,601
that there's a possibility he's acquired that. We'll

1863
01:03:53,601 --> 01:03:55,513
see. So so real quick, neighbors for you

1864
01:03:55,513 --> 01:03:58,061
guys listening. If you're drafting on Espn pick

1865
01:03:58,061 --> 01:04:01,738
64. That's good. Right? Yahoo pick 6 71.

1866
01:04:02,454 --> 01:04:04,521
You look at sleeper, pick 38,

1867
01:04:05,157 --> 01:04:07,859
underdog, pick 20 7FP,

1868
01:04:08,018 --> 01:04:08,909
pick 47.

1869
01:04:09,230 --> 01:04:10,909
So that's kinda your range on him.

1870
01:04:11,630 --> 01:04:12,829
The sharper the draft is,

1871
01:04:13,469 --> 01:04:15,630
honestly, or the more that draft have already

1872
01:04:15,630 --> 01:04:17,884
been drafting, not necessarily saying a sharper or

1873
01:04:17,884 --> 01:04:19,719
less sharp. But in the markets where the

1874
01:04:19,719 --> 01:04:21,315
drafting has happened the most, which is best

1875
01:04:21,315 --> 01:04:23,230
ball. He's going the highest. They're and. Those

1876
01:04:23,230 --> 01:04:24,985
are 3 wide receiver leaks. Yeah. But you

1877
01:04:24,985 --> 01:04:27,155
have to wide. They're like, I think these

1878
01:04:27,155 --> 01:04:29,389
leagues are kind of like dog breeder. Like,

1879
01:04:29,548 --> 01:04:31,383
if you just someone that has a dog

1880
01:04:31,383 --> 01:04:33,153
and you just appreciate the dog for what

1881
01:04:33,153 --> 01:04:33,472
he is.

1882
01:04:34,909 --> 01:04:36,904
You're probably in 1 of these Espn leagues.

1883
01:04:37,224 --> 01:04:39,139
You know? You're probably more like that. But

1884
01:04:39,139 --> 01:04:41,190
then, like these other leagues like sleeper and

1885
01:04:41,309 --> 01:04:43,003
these things that could spot and we have

1886
01:04:43,140 --> 01:04:45,448
sponsorships with, you know, we, but peep in

1887
01:04:45,448 --> 01:04:47,358
this industry, then you're starting to look at,

1888
01:04:47,518 --> 01:04:49,922
like, dog shows. And that's when things get

1889
01:04:49,922 --> 01:04:52,393
like, amped up another dressing these dogs up

1890
01:04:52,393 --> 01:04:53,451
and hyper

1891
01:04:54,146 --> 01:04:56,719
attending to these these hype high

1892
01:04:57,255 --> 01:04:59,501
anxiety ridden, you know, over bread,

1893
01:05:00,217 --> 01:05:00,536
you know,

1894
01:05:01,412 --> 01:05:03,722
animals that, like, you think just need a

1895
01:05:03,722 --> 01:05:05,633
yard and a bone and sometimes the chill

1896
01:05:05,633 --> 01:05:07,724
out a little bit And I think that

1897
01:05:07,724 --> 01:05:10,364
that's kind of a the... They'll... Those leagues

1898
01:05:10,364 --> 01:05:11,965
get a little reactive. I'll just put it

1899
01:05:11,965 --> 01:05:13,644
that way. And as you can see Not

1900
01:05:13,644 --> 01:05:16,635
sponsored by anybody. So that's I I love

1901
01:05:17,407 --> 01:05:20,030
for what is word dog breeder or dog

1902
01:05:20,030 --> 01:05:22,573
show person? I I love League neighbors either

1903
01:05:22,573 --> 01:05:24,322
way, Whether whether you're either 1 of those,

1904
01:05:24,894 --> 01:05:26,812
I haven't projected for a hundred and 31

1905
01:05:26,812 --> 01:05:27,212
targets.

1906
01:05:27,851 --> 01:05:30,568
I wanting to know this season. I've got

1907
01:05:30,568 --> 01:05:32,566
projected for a thousand and 17 yards,

1908
01:05:33,205 --> 01:05:35,000
and then I at him at 5

1909
01:05:35,779 --> 01:05:37,219
or sorry, yeah. 4.7.

1910
01:05:37,460 --> 01:05:39,639
So 5 touchdown. You know, that... That's the

1911
01:05:39,859 --> 01:05:42,114
Daniel Jones, you know, is to your point,

1912
01:05:42,275 --> 01:05:43,394
like, that's like the governor.

1913
01:05:44,355 --> 01:05:46,194
That's the governor on the offense, it's gonna

1914
01:05:46,194 --> 01:05:48,194
be tough to, like, fully cut the throttle

1915
01:05:48,194 --> 01:05:49,795
open. What I will say about Daniel Jones,

1916
01:05:50,049 --> 01:05:52,847
is like, his accuracy has been surprisingly decent.

1917
01:05:53,006 --> 01:05:55,084
Like, that hasn't been the challenge. What what

1918
01:05:55,244 --> 01:05:57,242
Daniel Jones has not really been able to

1919
01:05:57,242 --> 01:05:57,742
do

1920
01:05:58,201 --> 01:06:00,694
yet is fig out how to convert from

1921
01:06:00,694 --> 01:06:02,635
just being a guy that can avoid turnover

1922
01:06:02,694 --> 01:06:04,214
to also being able to make the big

1923
01:06:04,214 --> 01:06:07,355
plays when when things are there. For talk.

1924
01:06:07,655 --> 01:06:09,902
And that's... He takes he takes too much

1925
01:06:09,902 --> 01:06:12,374
time gets hits, and this offensive some lines

1926
01:06:12,374 --> 01:06:13,809
gonna have to lead the way. I mean,

1927
01:06:13,889 --> 01:06:17,251
that's that's pure football for anybody. But, you

1928
01:06:17,251 --> 01:06:20,041
know, can those 2 early round tackle early

1929
01:06:20,041 --> 01:06:22,591
round center and they're 2 free agent guards,

1930
01:06:23,149 --> 01:06:25,716
can they give above average play. If they

1931
01:06:25,716 --> 01:06:28,030
can give above average play, Jones can give

1932
01:06:28,030 --> 01:06:31,781
you 35, 3600 yards, maybe 20 touchdown. If

1933
01:06:31,781 --> 01:06:33,707
they they if they played lights out,

1934
01:06:34,503 --> 01:06:36,412
maybe Jones can give you a little bit

1935
01:06:36,412 --> 01:06:39,117
more, but I'm... But I don't think he

1936
01:06:39,117 --> 01:06:41,480
needs more to be d.

1937
01:06:43,035 --> 01:06:45,030
If he got... If he gets great, he'll

1938
01:06:45,030 --> 01:06:46,465
be like, above average.

1939
01:06:47,184 --> 01:06:49,749
If he... But he won't be lead. I

1940
01:06:49,749 --> 01:06:51,739
mean, so he's average 215

1941
01:06:51,739 --> 01:06:53,889
passing yards per game, which is terrible. I

1942
01:06:53,889 --> 01:06:55,641
mean, that's his career average right now.

1943
01:06:57,167 --> 01:06:58,438
But if he could get... And I've got

1944
01:06:58,438 --> 01:07:00,661
him projected for 02:15 this year. But if

1945
01:07:00,661 --> 01:07:02,431
he did somehow throw for,

1946
01:07:03,201 --> 01:07:04,965
you know, 235,

1947
01:07:05,125 --> 01:07:07,045
2 and 40 yards per game. Like if

1948
01:07:07,045 --> 01:07:08,324
you suddenly labeled able to have that kind

1949
01:07:08,324 --> 01:07:08,885
of a season.

1950
01:07:10,005 --> 01:07:12,644
Malik Nab as the primary target in this

1951
01:07:12,644 --> 01:07:14,260
offense and don't think it's gonna be close,

1952
01:07:14,659 --> 01:07:17,059
would have an opportunity to push towards a

1953
01:07:17,059 --> 01:07:19,059
wide receiver 1 finish. And could even finish

1954
01:07:19,059 --> 01:07:21,239
ahead of a guy that people are taking

1955
01:07:21,619 --> 01:07:22,074
clearly

1956
01:07:22,431 --> 01:07:24,732
which is Marvin Harrison Junior. Yeah. And I

1957
01:07:24,891 --> 01:07:26,342
I have I have

1958
01:07:26,715 --> 01:07:29,907
neighbors close to you like, hundred 27 targets,

1959
01:07:30,146 --> 01:07:32,059
82 catches, 1022

1960
01:07:32,059 --> 01:07:33,414
yards adding 7 touchdown.

1961
01:07:34,451 --> 01:07:36,842
But I'm also counting on... I haven't put

1962
01:07:36,842 --> 01:07:38,768
into my projections, I'm counting on Drew Lock

1963
01:07:38,768 --> 01:07:40,280
to be in the game at, you know,

1964
01:07:40,439 --> 01:07:42,427
at least for the the final 6 to

1965
01:07:42,427 --> 01:07:44,177
7 weeks. I think that there's a real

1966
01:07:44,177 --> 01:07:45,306
possibility can happen.

1967
01:07:46,340 --> 01:07:46,818
So, yeah,

1968
01:07:48,887 --> 01:07:51,671
I'm mining shitty teams because, like, everybody wants

1969
01:07:51,671 --> 01:07:53,364
to hear you talk about how good

1970
01:07:53,994 --> 01:07:55,591
folks are, but that's not gonna help you

1971
01:07:55,591 --> 01:07:58,385
and drafts because we know, like, who's... We

1972
01:07:58,385 --> 01:07:59,822
know who the good teams are. You know?

1973
01:07:59,982 --> 01:08:01,818
So I... And their players go early. Yeah.

1974
01:08:02,137 --> 01:08:04,225
Their players go early. So what ever. Like

1975
01:08:04,305 --> 01:08:06,767
New. The 49. New england is the dr

1976
01:08:06,767 --> 01:08:09,309
of society right now. If you, You've got

1977
01:08:09,389 --> 01:08:11,295
Rem Stevenson in a trash heap.

1978
01:08:12,344 --> 01:08:14,654
If we're talking about New England... This has

1979
01:08:14,654 --> 01:08:16,487
to be a a dual segment. We're talking

1980
01:08:16,487 --> 01:08:18,159
about... We need an N nfc team as

1981
01:08:18,159 --> 01:08:19,297
well and I nominate

1982
01:08:20,085 --> 01:08:20,640
the panthers.

1983
01:08:21,196 --> 01:08:23,260
Okay. Alright. I'm good. Let's talk of these

1984
01:08:23,260 --> 01:08:26,060
2. Okay, we'll start with Patriots. Yeah. So

1985
01:08:26,592 --> 01:08:28,753
so what are your thoughts here? Does can

1986
01:08:28,833 --> 01:08:31,231
Jacob support anybody in this passing game?

1987
01:08:32,190 --> 01:08:34,587
And if... And is he gonna give way

1988
01:08:34,587 --> 01:08:36,345
to Drake May very quickly?

1989
01:08:36,825 --> 01:08:38,515
And then we good look at that and

1990
01:08:38,515 --> 01:08:41,007
go, what are your thoughts on May? And

1991
01:08:41,145 --> 01:08:43,774
who who's who's your late bet to go

1992
01:08:44,092 --> 01:08:46,482
Alright. Sure. I'll take the shot or at

1993
01:08:46,482 --> 01:08:49,287
least comb the waiver wire and say, I'll

1994
01:08:49,287 --> 01:08:50,963
be picking up a ja coke or a

1995
01:08:51,521 --> 01:08:54,073
Baker or a K os born or maybe

1996
01:08:54,154 --> 01:08:56,706
J somehow sticks onto this team or Kendrick

1997
01:08:56,785 --> 01:08:59,589
Born comes back from his knee injury. I

1998
01:08:59,589 --> 01:09:02,059
mean, there... There's more ifs here than like

1999
01:09:02,059 --> 01:09:04,290
someone with a lottery... You know, with the

2000
01:09:04,290 --> 01:09:06,760
winning lottery number at your local convenience store.

2001
01:09:08,130 --> 01:09:10,201
Yeah. I'm a... I love Jay Polk.

2002
01:09:10,997 --> 01:09:13,148
I liked him as a prospect, but now

2003
01:09:13,148 --> 01:09:15,219
he lands on a roster where there's just

2004
01:09:15,219 --> 01:09:16,037
not much

2005
01:09:16,829 --> 01:09:18,187
competition to be honest. I mean J is

2006
01:09:18,187 --> 01:09:21,302
a shell of himself. Kindred born is recovering

2007
01:09:21,302 --> 01:09:23,460
from an Ac, and honestly has never been

2008
01:09:23,460 --> 01:09:25,543
an elite player. He's been more of a

2009
01:09:25,543 --> 01:09:28,643
great complimentary guy. So now, like, as an

2010
01:09:28,643 --> 01:09:30,710
aging veteran coming off an injury, I don't

2011
01:09:30,710 --> 01:09:31,479
really expect

2012
01:09:32,075 --> 01:09:34,220
you know, kinder born to be like this

2013
01:09:34,220 --> 01:09:34,697
obstacle.

2014
01:09:35,093 --> 01:09:36,841
Like, he might get an 18 20 percent

2015
01:09:36,841 --> 01:09:38,112
target share, but he's not gonna be a

2016
01:09:38,112 --> 01:09:40,114
target hog where like a guy like holt

2017
01:09:40,114 --> 01:09:41,710
can't, like arrive on the scene.

2018
01:09:43,067 --> 01:09:45,621
Ty 1 Thornton stinks, Ja and Rake stinks,

2019
01:09:46,578 --> 01:09:48,175
you know, they they never seem to get

2020
01:09:48,175 --> 01:09:50,261
what think they would normally, you know, get

2021
01:09:50,261 --> 01:09:51,615
out of their tie ins even though they

2022
01:09:51,615 --> 01:09:54,164
keep trying to add different guys. So I

2023
01:09:54,164 --> 01:09:55,677
think Polk when you look at him, you

2024
01:09:55,677 --> 01:09:58,081
know, he didn't gray out really rate in

2025
01:09:58,081 --> 01:10:00,568
the Fantasy Life wide receiver model, but

2026
01:10:01,180 --> 01:10:03,008
part of it is because, like, while the

2027
01:10:03,008 --> 01:10:05,644
the model does calibrate based on the teammates

2028
01:10:05,644 --> 01:10:07,152
that you had to try to earn targets

2029
01:10:07,152 --> 01:10:07,310
from.

2030
01:10:08,103 --> 01:10:10,404
There are certain situations where it probably doesn't

2031
01:10:10,404 --> 01:10:11,832
calibrate enough. And I think when you look

2032
01:10:11,832 --> 01:10:13,512
at. That's 1 of those. This is a

2033
01:10:13,512 --> 01:10:14,465
guy that played with Rom.

2034
01:10:15,099 --> 01:10:16,686
Everybody knows the number 8 pick overall in

2035
01:10:16,686 --> 01:10:18,591
the draft. And you also had another, day

2036
01:10:18,591 --> 01:10:21,076
2 pick and Mc, who was a really

2037
01:10:21,076 --> 01:10:22,773
good slot wider receiver for

2038
01:10:23,231 --> 01:10:25,226
the husky. So when I look at Ja

2039
01:10:25,386 --> 01:10:27,542
Polk, I think there's a player that, you

2040
01:10:27,542 --> 01:10:28,913
know, is he gonna stretch out field and

2041
01:10:28,913 --> 01:10:31,225
be this huge vertical threat? No, but he

2042
01:10:31,225 --> 01:10:33,537
can play all levels of the field with

2043
01:10:33,537 --> 01:10:35,849
competence, like based on, like, what the data

2044
01:10:35,849 --> 01:10:37,459
says about. He's pretty good with the ball

2045
01:10:37,459 --> 01:10:39,616
in his hands. He's not he's not elite

2046
01:10:39,616 --> 01:10:41,533
is what's interesting about poking in really any

2047
01:10:41,533 --> 01:10:43,531
of the areas. But I think he's above

2048
01:10:43,531 --> 01:10:45,784
average across all all the areas. And that

2049
01:10:45,784 --> 01:10:47,625
makes them a guy that you can, you

2050
01:10:47,625 --> 01:10:49,864
know, can have broad application within your office.

2051
01:10:50,104 --> 01:10:51,145
I mean, you can ask them to do

2052
01:10:51,145 --> 01:10:53,064
a lot of different things. So when I

2053
01:10:53,064 --> 01:10:53,784
look at the depth chart,

2054
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,269
I'm like, man, Ja Polk, like, is a

2055
01:10:56,269 --> 01:10:58,258
great bet to me. And if you're drafting,

2056
01:10:58,337 --> 01:11:00,087
like, over on Espn or some of these

2057
01:11:00,087 --> 01:11:01,997
other sites that we talk about, Like, Ja

2058
01:11:02,156 --> 01:11:03,404
Polk is a guy that you can take

2059
01:11:03,524 --> 01:11:05,756
with your last round pick. You know? If

2060
01:11:05,756 --> 01:11:07,270
you need a wide receiver and that... You

2061
01:11:07,270 --> 01:11:08,625
feel like that's what you need. Right now,

2062
01:11:08,784 --> 01:11:10,299
on slippery pick 1 61.

2063
01:11:10,777 --> 01:11:12,067
Espn 1 69.

2064
01:11:12,464 --> 01:11:14,453
Even over F fp and these high stakes

2065
01:11:14,453 --> 01:11:15,646
leagues pick 1 82.

2066
01:11:16,123 --> 01:11:17,793
Ja Polk is going too late. Now,

2067
01:11:18,685 --> 01:11:20,685
I will say the guy that gets me

2068
01:11:20,685 --> 01:11:22,784
the most excited when I just watch them

2069
01:11:23,085 --> 01:11:25,404
is Baker. Yeah. When I watch J siobhan

2070
01:11:25,484 --> 01:11:27,739
Baker play football, I... You can't help... You

2071
01:11:27,739 --> 01:11:29,020
know, you've mentioned this to me in the

2072
01:11:29,020 --> 01:11:31,020
past, like, how certain guys just have, like

2073
01:11:31,020 --> 01:11:31,260
this

2074
01:11:32,220 --> 01:11:34,733
the way they move and this added they're

2075
01:11:35,030 --> 01:11:36,864
kinetic energy. Yes. Is what you said. You

2076
01:11:36,864 --> 01:11:38,698
you you you talk about the old football

2077
01:11:38,698 --> 01:11:40,453
game where you would place all your players

2078
01:11:40,453 --> 01:11:41,649
out there and turn it on, and they

2079
01:11:41,649 --> 01:11:43,027
start vibrating on the

2080
01:11:43,419 --> 01:11:45,411
like, that, Ja polk is like the guy

2081
01:11:45,411 --> 01:11:46,526
that when I wash and I'm like,

2082
01:11:47,243 --> 01:11:49,552
okay. Like the ceiling. I feel like is

2083
01:11:49,552 --> 01:11:51,158
really there for Jay on poke. I... The

2084
01:11:51,158 --> 01:11:53,540
the floor is probably also nothing. I mean,

2085
01:11:53,619 --> 01:11:54,890
with where he got taken in the draft

2086
01:11:54,890 --> 01:11:56,556
and some of the the issues the teams

2087
01:11:56,556 --> 01:11:58,798
had with him, but I do feel like

2088
01:11:58,798 --> 01:11:59,118
for pulp,

2089
01:11:59,996 --> 01:12:01,592
I I would prefer it be Drake May

2090
01:12:01,592 --> 01:12:03,029
at some point even though he has holes

2091
01:12:03,029 --> 01:12:04,466
in his game just because I feel like

2092
01:12:04,466 --> 01:12:05,983
he's more likely to be able to un

2093
01:12:05,983 --> 01:12:07,475
encore like some of the big play stuff

2094
01:12:07,594 --> 01:12:09,900
down the field. Jacob set. Is gonna come

2095
01:12:09,900 --> 01:12:11,649
out. He's gonna listen to his coach, Jared

2096
01:12:11,729 --> 01:12:13,399
Mayo. He's gonna try not to make mistakes.

2097
01:12:13,558 --> 01:12:15,467
He's gonna keep everything between the lines.

2098
01:12:16,197 --> 01:12:18,183
We're gonna try to win close football games,

2099
01:12:18,421 --> 01:12:20,725
let our defense play, Hope the ball bounces

2100
01:12:20,725 --> 01:12:22,315
our way. We're gonna try to scratch out

2101
01:12:22,315 --> 01:12:24,793
7 wins. Unfortunately, for the patriots, if you

2102
01:12:24,793 --> 01:12:25,349
look at their

2103
01:12:25,905 --> 01:12:27,970
schedule out of the gate. Sorry Jacob cob,

2104
01:12:28,130 --> 01:12:29,242
but you're probably gonna be on the bench

2105
01:12:29,242 --> 01:12:30,512
by, like, we were week 4 or 5.

2106
01:12:30,671 --> 01:12:32,895
Like... It's it's it's a brutal start. And

2107
01:12:32,895 --> 01:12:34,460
so I think once... You you know how

2108
01:12:34,578 --> 01:12:37,283
goes. All intentions at that point are out

2109
01:12:37,283 --> 01:12:39,510
the window, because the fan base is going

2110
01:12:39,510 --> 01:12:41,577
nuts. Everybody's like, you know, the owners now

2111
01:12:41,577 --> 01:12:42,824
in your office saying we

2112
01:12:43,421 --> 01:12:45,091
keep people coming to the games for the

2113
01:12:45,091 --> 01:12:46,761
rest the year. I got freaking bills to

2114
01:12:46,761 --> 01:12:48,273
pay, man. So you're gonna have to get

2115
01:12:48,273 --> 01:12:51,707
drake May ask marketing subsidies that they Get.

2116
01:12:51,866 --> 01:12:52,366
He

2117
01:12:52,899 --> 01:12:55,225
he's fine. He just sees the cops on

2118
01:12:55,281 --> 01:12:56,234
massage rooms that we're open.

2119
01:12:57,981 --> 01:12:59,331
They're gonna want Drake May on the field.

2120
01:12:59,489 --> 01:13:01,569
Yeah. Everybody's gonna be asking for it. So...

2121
01:13:03,314 --> 01:13:04,981
And there I know you you've got, you

2122
01:13:04,981 --> 01:13:06,648
know, there's some major holes obviously in Drake

2123
01:13:06,806 --> 01:13:09,046
May's game. But what I say that he

2124
01:13:09,046 --> 01:13:09,365
has,

2125
01:13:10,161 --> 01:13:12,153
that is really good for fantasy.

2126
01:13:12,789 --> 01:13:14,643
If you're talking about late year

2127
01:13:15,019 --> 01:13:16,452
or or middle of the year, you you

2128
01:13:16,452 --> 01:13:18,215
find out that Maze is now gonna become

2129
01:13:18,215 --> 01:13:18,690
the starter.

2130
01:13:20,118 --> 01:13:21,784
This guy had 14 percent of the design

2131
01:13:21,784 --> 01:13:24,140
rushing attempts in college. Second to only Jaiden

2132
01:13:24,180 --> 01:13:26,177
daniels in this class, and an 11 percent

2133
01:13:26,177 --> 01:13:28,975
scramble scramble rate also second to only Jaiden

2134
01:13:29,135 --> 01:13:31,692
Daniels in this class. So he is going

2135
01:13:31,692 --> 01:13:33,770
to add value on the ground. I'm not

2136
01:13:33,770 --> 01:13:36,100
saying this guys an elite running process. But

2137
01:13:36,100 --> 01:13:37,935
what I'm saying is, he's gonna give you

2138
01:13:37,935 --> 01:13:39,851
value. You're... He's gonna be 1 of these

2139
01:13:39,851 --> 01:13:41,528
guys, that's more in the range of like

2140
01:13:42,326 --> 01:13:42,725
T.

2141
01:13:43,456 --> 01:13:45,600
Yeah. He's gonna give you 25 rushing yards

2142
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,665
per game. Right? And occasionally, he's gonna score

2143
01:13:47,665 --> 01:13:48,936
2 rushing touchdown for you.

2144
01:13:49,968 --> 01:13:52,368
So it's it's that those little things though

2145
01:13:52,368 --> 01:13:54,038
add up. Right? Because if you know you

2146
01:13:54,038 --> 01:13:55,708
can get that baseline Of... That's 2 and

2147
01:13:55,708 --> 01:13:57,777
a half fantasy points, you know, and a

2148
01:13:57,777 --> 01:13:59,781
and You throw in a touchdown here or

2149
01:13:59,781 --> 01:14:01,850
there. Suddenly, you're at an extra 3 fantasy

2150
01:14:01,850 --> 01:14:04,237
points per game. And then whenever you get

2151
01:14:04,237 --> 01:14:06,385
a decent passing week, you get 20 fantasy

2152
01:14:06,385 --> 01:14:08,572
points. Right? Instead again and 15. So

2153
01:14:08,949 --> 01:14:10,944
when I look at Drake May, like, I

2154
01:14:10,944 --> 01:14:13,097
don't get super excited about, you're not drafting

2155
01:14:13,097 --> 01:14:14,373
him in a home league. Right now. He's

2156
01:14:14,373 --> 01:14:16,447
a waiver wire guy. Right? Best all people

2157
01:14:16,447 --> 01:14:18,298
draft him, but but the guy I like

2158
01:14:18,298 --> 01:14:20,056
really is Ja polk, and then I think

2159
01:14:20,056 --> 01:14:22,373
the guy that Whale or off the waiver

2160
01:14:22,373 --> 01:14:25,330
wire would be Baker. Nice. Yeah. I'm I'm

2161
01:14:25,410 --> 01:14:26,024
I'm definitely

2162
01:14:26,543 --> 01:14:28,538
Baker fan. And I think a lot of

2163
01:14:28,538 --> 01:14:29,975
it we saw the issues we had to

2164
01:14:29,975 --> 01:14:30,774
do with his dad.

2165
01:14:31,652 --> 01:14:32,609
So we'll see if

2166
01:14:33,647 --> 01:14:35,654
we'll see if that actually lead turns into

2167
01:14:35,654 --> 01:14:37,722
something his dad showing up at the facility

2168
01:14:37,722 --> 01:14:39,154
or are we gonna be able to, like,

2169
01:14:39,631 --> 01:14:42,893
keep that... Keep things quell. You know. But

2170
01:14:42,893 --> 01:14:43,370
baker search,

2171
01:14:44,262 --> 01:14:45,618
Certainly is the guy that has mine. And

2172
01:14:45,698 --> 01:14:47,135
I like what you said about polk. I

2173
01:14:47,135 --> 01:14:48,731
mean, I think that that's brought... I think

2174
01:14:48,731 --> 01:14:50,566
that's accurate that he's he's good at a

2175
01:14:50,566 --> 01:14:52,012
lot of things. He's not graded at any

2176
01:14:52,012 --> 01:14:52,488
single thing.

2177
01:14:53,599 --> 01:14:56,216
I think he could... If they can find

2178
01:14:56,216 --> 01:14:57,168
a passing game here,

2179
01:14:58,041 --> 01:14:59,881
that offensive line is gonna have to be

2180
01:14:59,881 --> 01:15:01,788
able to be effective running the ball, and

2181
01:15:01,788 --> 01:15:03,218
that defense is gonna have to play lights

2182
01:15:03,218 --> 01:15:05,125
out for per set to stay. So I

2183
01:15:05,284 --> 01:15:06,873
I get that. I mean, because you saw

2184
01:15:06,873 --> 01:15:08,796
what Cleveland was about what they were able

2185
01:15:08,796 --> 01:15:10,150
to keep with him, and that's because they

2186
01:15:10,150 --> 01:15:12,618
had a fantastic crowd. Yeah. Really good. Yeah.

2187
01:15:13,015 --> 01:15:15,426
So... Alright. Let's move on to Carolina.

2188
01:15:15,802 --> 01:15:17,734
You know? If we're gonna go from 1

2189
01:15:17,734 --> 01:15:20,694
trash heap to another, you know, looking at

2190
01:15:20,694 --> 01:15:22,854
this, Adam Feeling had a great year for

2191
01:15:22,854 --> 01:15:25,585
a guy nobody expected anything from in terms

2192
01:15:25,585 --> 01:15:28,217
of just raw data. You, you know, the

2193
01:15:28,217 --> 01:15:30,051
raw stats of, like, what you look for

2194
01:15:30,051 --> 01:15:30,689
for fantasy.

2195
01:15:31,646 --> 01:15:33,822
He had some... He he played way above

2196
01:15:34,133 --> 01:15:36,433
station. Now they get the Johnson and Xavier

2197
01:15:36,592 --> 01:15:36,988
Leg legit.

2198
01:15:38,257 --> 01:15:40,161
You have Jonathan Brooks,

2199
01:15:40,875 --> 01:15:43,113
the the main Rookie ad to the equation

2200
01:15:43,113 --> 01:15:43,351
here,

2201
01:15:45,020 --> 01:15:46,769
will he even be ready to start the

2202
01:15:46,769 --> 01:15:48,676
season I don't think so. I think you

2203
01:15:48,676 --> 01:15:50,265
may see 12 games out of him at

2204
01:15:50,265 --> 01:15:50,503
best.

2205
01:15:51,791 --> 01:15:54,415
Mainly because whenever I hear... I'll be ready

2206
01:15:54,415 --> 01:15:55,131
for the season,

2207
01:15:56,006 --> 01:15:58,391
and you've suffered your Ac there November. I'm

2208
01:15:58,391 --> 01:15:59,107
like at bullshit.

2209
01:15:59,759 --> 01:16:01,515
Think you're gonna be ready. You're in your

2210
01:16:01,515 --> 01:16:03,191
early twenties and you think you're ready for

2211
01:16:03,191 --> 01:16:04,468
anything right now. By the end of the

2212
01:16:04,468 --> 01:16:05,905
year, when you're trying to win your fantasy

2213
01:16:05,905 --> 01:16:08,354
championship. That could be a different very well

2214
01:16:08,474 --> 01:16:09,743
be ready, and he might be what you

2215
01:16:09,743 --> 01:16:11,886
need, but we'll get totally. So talk on

2216
01:16:11,886 --> 01:16:13,156
that. Why do you why do you think

2217
01:16:13,156 --> 01:16:14,822
that? Well, I think that 1 other thing

2218
01:16:14,822 --> 01:16:17,457
here. So you you you mentioned at a

2219
01:16:18,015 --> 01:16:18,413
Johnson,

2220
01:16:18,891 --> 01:16:20,006
draft Xavier get.

2221
01:16:21,041 --> 01:16:22,713
So whether or not you think he is

2222
01:16:22,713 --> 01:16:24,625
a a first round pic, Like, I I

2223
01:16:24,625 --> 01:16:26,231
didn't think he should have been round pick,

2224
01:16:26,470 --> 01:16:28,220
but like he was. I I thought he's

2225
01:16:28,220 --> 01:16:29,095
probably around 2 pick.

2226
01:16:29,811 --> 01:16:31,641
They added him. So the intention is there

2227
01:16:31,641 --> 01:16:32,970
to try to make this soften offense better

2228
01:16:33,010 --> 01:16:34,284
for Bryce Young. And then the other things

2229
01:16:34,284 --> 01:16:36,276
you had Damien and Lewis, a good guard

2230
01:16:36,276 --> 01:16:38,188
and Robert Hunt from the dolls. You give

2231
01:16:38,347 --> 01:16:40,100
Robert Hunt, a big contract. And 1 of

2232
01:16:40,100 --> 01:16:42,012
the big issues last year for Bryce Young

2233
01:16:42,012 --> 01:16:43,859
was so much immediate pressure and not just

2234
01:16:43,859 --> 01:16:45,371
from the outside, right up the middle, right

2235
01:16:45,371 --> 01:16:47,202
in your lap, right away. And for a,

2236
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,828
especially for a guy the, you know, is

2237
01:16:49,828 --> 01:16:50,600
not a tall

2238
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,119
player. That that can be difficult. But what

2239
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:54,800
I'll say is, like, Bryce Young showed a

2240
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,640
lot of good things like in college and

2241
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:58,720
his ability to to handle a pocket that

2242
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,603
was reasonable. You know? Now, obviously, Alabama pockets

2243
01:17:01,603 --> 01:17:04,385
were often pristine. So it's also hard to

2244
01:17:04,385 --> 01:17:06,212
know what's gonna happen when this thing happens,

2245
01:17:06,530 --> 01:17:08,135
which is what can can be the case

2246
01:17:08,135 --> 01:17:09,670
when you get to the pros. But

2247
01:17:10,045 --> 01:17:11,556
when I look at the Carolina office offense,

2248
01:17:11,636 --> 01:17:11,954
it's like,

2249
01:17:12,909 --> 01:17:14,501
I think there's an argument we could make

2250
01:17:14,501 --> 01:17:17,010
the really is there any

2251
01:17:17,946 --> 01:17:19,962
offense that is as improved

2252
01:17:20,419 --> 01:17:22,827
as this 1, with the number of players

2253
01:17:22,827 --> 01:17:24,262
they may. We may not love all of

2254
01:17:24,262 --> 01:17:26,656
them. They they may have questions, but overall,

2255
01:17:26,815 --> 01:17:28,352
I mean, offensive of Lima

2256
01:17:28,729 --> 01:17:30,404
and you added weapons in the in the

2257
01:17:30,404 --> 01:17:33,047
rushing attack and in the receiving gain. And

2258
01:17:33,047 --> 01:17:33,547
so

2259
01:17:34,001 --> 01:17:35,510
I look... So I kinda went back. It

2260
01:17:35,510 --> 01:17:37,179
got me curious. I was like, alright Let's

2261
01:17:37,179 --> 01:17:38,052
go back and look,

2262
01:17:39,006 --> 01:17:41,009
like, at some of these rookie quarter backs

2263
01:17:41,009 --> 01:17:42,922
or just look at quarterback in general,

2264
01:17:43,878 --> 01:17:45,712
you know, that just, you know, they stun.

2265
01:17:46,510 --> 01:17:47,705
I mean, because there's really no other way

2266
01:17:47,705 --> 01:17:49,633
to put it. Like, Bryce young stun last

2267
01:17:49,633 --> 01:17:51,626
year. Sure. Like, I mean if you if

2268
01:17:51,626 --> 01:17:52,980
you wanna jump in, like, and you have

2269
01:17:52,980 --> 01:17:54,972
any thoughts there on on Bryce and maybe

2270
01:17:55,052 --> 01:17:56,907
I'm overs it. But from a fantasy

2271
01:17:57,219 --> 01:17:59,856
effective. Like... I think I think statistically he's

2272
01:17:59,856 --> 01:18:02,093
stun. But, like, on on tape, you can

2273
01:18:02,093 --> 01:18:04,730
see the mitigating factors. And And I understand

2274
01:18:04,730 --> 01:18:07,142
the pristine pockets at Alabama. But, you know,

2275
01:18:07,382 --> 01:18:09,779
let's put it this way that they were...

2276
01:18:09,939 --> 01:18:11,697
They're pristine relative to college.

2277
01:18:12,177 --> 01:18:14,823
But in college, he still saw he still

2278
01:18:14,823 --> 01:18:16,332
saw enough pressure that you could look at

2279
01:18:16,332 --> 01:18:18,318
and project and say, this guy can function

2280
01:18:18,318 --> 01:18:19,985
in a pocket just like you opened up

2281
01:18:19,985 --> 01:18:20,144
with.

2282
01:18:20,938 --> 01:18:22,622
Yeah. And and may... There were many things

2283
01:18:22,781 --> 01:18:24,375
I loved about him coming out. So I'm

2284
01:18:24,375 --> 01:18:26,206
with you. When I look at it, all

2285
01:18:26,206 --> 01:18:27,958
the stats stunt, but then I look at

2286
01:18:27,958 --> 01:18:29,391
the office offense, and I'm like, I don't

2287
01:18:29,391 --> 01:18:31,556
know how I completely hold this. It was

2288
01:18:31,556 --> 01:18:34,284
1 of the... Maybe the worst offense environment

2289
01:18:34,341 --> 01:18:36,012
environment and league. I think it might be

2290
01:18:36,012 --> 01:18:38,001
between that and what Russell Wilson faced, you

2291
01:18:38,001 --> 01:18:38,877
know, in Denver,

2292
01:18:39,512 --> 01:18:41,758
the patriots also another really bet so some

2293
01:18:41,758 --> 01:18:43,431
of the teams we've already discussed, you know?

2294
01:18:43,671 --> 01:18:44,786
And you have a go. And you have

2295
01:18:44,786 --> 01:18:47,416
an owner sending sending play calls on Napkins

2296
01:18:47,416 --> 01:18:50,220
from the box. So I mean, like, you

2297
01:18:50,220 --> 01:18:52,212
add that in and that tells you enough

2298
01:18:52,212 --> 01:18:54,045
about the environment there. And the guy stopping

2299
01:18:54,045 --> 01:18:56,610
in the local stores because he sees the

2300
01:18:56,610 --> 01:18:57,110
signs

2301
01:18:57,726 --> 01:19:00,697
outside on the on I mean, this is

2302
01:19:00,833 --> 01:19:02,985
obviously, like, you've got Michael Scott as your

2303
01:19:02,985 --> 01:19:04,432
man manager. You know?

2304
01:19:06,023 --> 01:19:06,261
Yeah.

2305
01:19:07,216 --> 01:19:09,046
It's happening. I'm sending another play down.

2306
01:19:10,573 --> 01:19:11,611
But it got me to thinking.

2307
01:19:12,329 --> 01:19:14,245
What about some of these other quarterback that

2308
01:19:14,245 --> 01:19:15,463
fell as Rookie

2309
01:19:16,001 --> 01:19:17,618
and then their teams really

2310
01:19:19,208 --> 01:19:21,516
made concerted moves in the off season to

2311
01:19:21,516 --> 01:19:22,710
upgrade. And I'm mostly...

2312
01:19:23,346 --> 01:19:24,620
I didn't go look at all the offensive

2313
01:19:24,620 --> 01:19:25,972
of lima and stuff, but, I mean, we

2314
01:19:25,972 --> 01:19:27,326
know that's here. I didn't look at running

2315
01:19:27,326 --> 01:19:29,890
backs. I just looked at wide receivers. They

2316
01:19:29,890 --> 01:19:31,964
they tried to get them more people to

2317
01:19:31,964 --> 01:19:33,559
throw the ball to because I think we

2318
01:19:33,559 --> 01:19:35,074
can agree last year, It was just Adam

2319
01:19:35,234 --> 01:19:35,473
T,

2320
01:19:36,270 --> 01:19:37,945
and he was mostly working from the slot.

2321
01:19:38,199 --> 01:19:40,033
Once other teams figured out. Okay. All they

2322
01:19:40,033 --> 01:19:41,707
have a ceiling. They just threw away. Yeah.

2323
01:19:42,026 --> 01:19:46,171
They struggled. Okay? So Carson went. Scored 14.2

2324
01:19:46,251 --> 01:19:48,502
Fantasy points per game. The team added A

2325
01:19:48,662 --> 01:19:50,260
Jeffrey. He went to 22.1.

2326
01:19:50,739 --> 01:19:52,656
I'm not saying this is remember, they're also

2327
01:19:52,656 --> 01:19:54,425
having to make steps 4 in their second

2328
01:19:54,425 --> 01:19:56,729
season. But people immediately throw bryce young out.

2329
01:19:56,967 --> 01:19:57,285
They say,

2330
01:19:58,001 --> 01:20:00,225
quarterback that have stun in year 1 just

2331
01:20:00,225 --> 01:20:02,212
typically stink forever. So I'm just giving you

2332
01:20:02,212 --> 01:20:04,539
some exam this year. Carson went, people said

2333
01:20:04,539 --> 01:20:06,295
he stock, then he was really good, And

2334
01:20:06,295 --> 01:20:07,651
then he sunk again. Let's be honest.

2335
01:20:08,289 --> 01:20:10,854
Definitely stun for a while, but Okay. Anyway,

2336
01:20:11,173 --> 01:20:13,875
Keep coming. Trevor Lawrence. 13.1 fantasy points per

2337
01:20:13,875 --> 01:20:15,305
game. What do the Jaguar wires go out

2338
01:20:15,305 --> 01:20:16,816
and do? They add Christian Kirk and Evan

2339
01:20:16,975 --> 01:20:19,534
Ingram. He goes to 18.6 fantasy points. Per

2340
01:20:19,534 --> 01:20:20,573
game. Derek Carr,

2341
01:20:21,212 --> 01:20:23,210
13.3 fantasy points per game. What do they

2342
01:20:23,210 --> 01:20:24,887
do? They draft a Mari Cooper in round

2343
01:20:24,887 --> 01:20:26,826
1 of the draft. They add Michael Crab

2344
01:20:27,126 --> 01:20:28,677
from the 49

2345
01:20:28,971 --> 01:20:31,833
goes from that 13.3 to 18 fantasy points

2346
01:20:31,833 --> 01:20:34,456
per game. Jared Go didn't even know where

2347
01:20:34,456 --> 01:20:37,055
the suns, you know, rose or set, and

2348
01:20:37,174 --> 01:20:38,606
years scored 9.3

2349
01:20:38,606 --> 01:20:39,958
fantasy points per game.

2350
01:20:40,515 --> 01:20:42,503
As a rookie. They add Brandon Cooks and

2351
01:20:42,662 --> 01:20:45,062
Robert Woods. He goes to 7.9,

2352
01:20:45,220 --> 01:20:47,444
yes, They did also add Sean Mc, so

2353
01:20:47,444 --> 01:20:49,270
there is a big change. There, Trevor Lawrence

2354
01:20:49,270 --> 01:20:52,104
also experienced a coach Change, moving over to

2355
01:20:52,224 --> 01:20:55,345
doug Peterson, and then we have Bryce Young

2356
01:20:55,481 --> 01:20:57,468
experiencing a coach change this this year with

2357
01:20:57,548 --> 01:20:59,510
Dave Gonzalez, who's already talked about being more

2358
01:21:00,106 --> 01:21:02,176
bullish around the run game, trying to help

2359
01:21:02,176 --> 01:21:04,324
balance out the offense, do things he can

2360
01:21:04,324 --> 01:21:06,098
to help Bryce young out. So

2361
01:21:06,474 --> 01:21:07,906
my big point being here is, like,

2362
01:21:09,020 --> 01:21:10,552
I I'm curious as to what you saw

2363
01:21:10,552 --> 01:21:12,308
on the film with Bryce Young. Because, like,

2364
01:21:12,387 --> 01:21:13,905
when you look at this and these other

2365
01:21:13,905 --> 01:21:16,300
teams historically. It doesn't guarantee Bryce Young is

2366
01:21:16,300 --> 01:21:18,375
gonna be great. But I think he's taken

2367
01:21:18,375 --> 01:21:20,065
a step forward this year. And people shouldn't...

2368
01:21:20,703 --> 01:21:22,537
I would rather take Bryce young than a

2369
01:21:22,537 --> 01:21:24,052
lot of other guys that are going at

2370
01:21:24,052 --> 01:21:25,408
the end of fantasy drafts. He was the

2371
01:21:25,408 --> 01:21:27,162
number 1 pick for a reason. You looked

2372
01:21:27,162 --> 01:21:28,213
at him in Emma.

2373
01:21:29,088 --> 01:21:30,997
If you look at the sky's coverage, something

2374
01:21:30,997 --> 01:21:32,510
you see more and more in the Nfl

2375
01:21:32,510 --> 01:21:34,737
is giving quarterback fits, but the elite guys

2376
01:21:34,737 --> 01:21:37,935
figure it at Alabama, Bryson was amazing. Dead

2377
01:21:37,935 --> 01:21:41,038
handling disguise coverage. He was amazing against pressure.

2378
01:21:41,277 --> 01:21:42,493
He was great about

2379
01:21:42,804 --> 01:21:43,463
grip plays

2380
01:21:43,997 --> 01:21:46,143
outside of the pocket. Yeah. He was so

2381
01:21:46,143 --> 01:21:47,813
good in so many ways. Like, I just...

2382
01:21:48,131 --> 01:21:50,357
I can't dismiss all the things that I

2383
01:21:50,357 --> 01:21:52,399
saw and all the data points that I

2384
01:21:52,759 --> 01:21:55,072
researched on him, even though you're 1 was

2385
01:21:55,072 --> 01:21:56,906
so bad. Yeah. You need to have you

2386
01:21:56,906 --> 01:21:57,544
need to have,

2387
01:21:58,581 --> 01:22:00,495
some sem of a pocket to be able

2388
01:22:00,495 --> 01:22:02,583
to be good off script. You know, you

2389
01:22:02,583 --> 01:22:04,333
gotta us at least have a starting point

2390
01:22:04,333 --> 01:22:06,720
of, like, being able to, like, stand in

2391
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:08,232
there and avoid pressure,

2392
01:22:08,789 --> 01:22:10,560
not just be avoid it right off the

2393
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:10,640
bat.

2394
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,180
R young didn't have the foot work and

2395
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:18,246
drop back issues or accurate see issues down

2396
01:22:18,246 --> 01:22:19,358
that Carson went had.

2397
01:22:20,708 --> 01:22:22,933
Carson went after the first couple of games,

2398
01:22:23,171 --> 01:22:25,237
I realized They needed to stop having them

2399
01:22:25,237 --> 01:22:27,582
drop back and have him playing a pistol

2400
01:22:27,878 --> 01:22:30,766
and and throw the ball under 30 yards

2401
01:22:31,462 --> 01:22:33,372
and have quit hitting plays and his game

2402
01:22:33,372 --> 01:22:36,098
took off in as that second year progressed.

2403
01:22:36,497 --> 01:22:38,252
And then team's kinda caught up with what

2404
01:22:38,252 --> 01:22:40,405
he can and can't do when they disguise

2405
01:22:40,485 --> 01:22:42,159
I it's kind of like they Robert Griffin

2406
01:22:42,159 --> 01:22:44,327
him a little bit in terms of what

2407
01:22:44,327 --> 01:22:45,996
they did there. And with golf off, I

2408
01:22:45,996 --> 01:22:47,426
mean, I think Mc mckay, you've heard my

2409
01:22:47,426 --> 01:22:49,094
whole story about that. It's just that Mc

2410
01:22:49,094 --> 01:22:49,594
bay

2411
01:22:49,968 --> 01:22:51,810
probably was, like, this is our number 1

2412
01:22:51,810 --> 01:22:53,717
overall pick. You've gotta work with him and

2413
01:22:53,877 --> 01:22:55,386
Mc faye was probably like, that's not the

2414
01:22:55,386 --> 01:22:57,692
guy I really want. But I'm gonna go

2415
01:22:57,692 --> 01:22:59,361
ahead and micro manage him and put a

2416
01:22:59,440 --> 01:23:01,283
Mic in the... In the helmet, and we're

2417
01:23:01,283 --> 01:23:03,270
gonna fix this offense and make it good,

2418
01:23:03,667 --> 01:23:05,097
but I'm gonna be in his ear all

2419
01:23:05,097 --> 01:23:07,322
the time. So then the limitations where when

2420
01:23:07,322 --> 01:23:08,514
you put them in a rubber floor,

2421
01:23:09,244 --> 01:23:12,356
against Robert flores blitz in defense, and you've

2422
01:23:12,356 --> 01:23:14,032
gotta a you've got a coach in your

2423
01:23:14,032 --> 01:23:17,279
ear, you know, there's gonna be a scene

2424
01:23:17,559 --> 01:23:19,399
that's limited. And I think Mc did a

2425
01:23:19,399 --> 01:23:21,579
great job, but Mc also

2426
01:23:22,039 --> 01:23:24,439
looked at as golf as kind of an

2427
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:26,688
anchor to what he really wanted to to

2428
01:23:26,688 --> 01:23:27,188
do

2429
01:23:27,564 --> 01:23:29,872
and never really gave off the credit to

2430
01:23:29,872 --> 01:23:31,464
see if he could grow and develop and

2431
01:23:31,464 --> 01:23:33,350
be more. And I think the Detroit did

2432
01:23:33,708 --> 01:23:36,099
Detroit. Said we threw everything Adam, and we

2433
01:23:36,099 --> 01:23:38,808
realized that he did more than what we

2434
01:23:38,808 --> 01:23:40,402
expected because we were like, whatever and we

2435
01:23:40,402 --> 01:23:40,935
got him

2436
01:23:41,531 --> 01:23:43,280
we gave away Stafford. We got him as

2437
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,108
a bridge. Let's fucking see if he can

2438
01:23:45,108 --> 01:23:47,334
actually be worth the shit. You know? So

2439
01:23:47,334 --> 01:23:49,416
well, let's give him everything if not. We're

2440
01:23:49,416 --> 01:23:51,484
gonna move on anyway. That's our expectation and

2441
01:23:51,484 --> 01:23:53,712
to much their surprise. They were like, he

2442
01:23:53,712 --> 01:23:55,382
did everything in more than what we expected.

2443
01:23:55,541 --> 01:23:56,912
And I that's part of it is that

2444
01:23:56,992 --> 01:23:57,731
Mc bay

2445
01:23:58,109 --> 01:23:59,466
got this guy and it was like,

2446
01:24:00,503 --> 01:24:02,658
probably holding he's no good. I don't think

2447
01:24:02,658 --> 01:24:03,989
he's ain't good. I'm gonna make... I'm gonna

2448
01:24:04,189 --> 01:24:05,938
make lemons out of lemonade, and then he

2449
01:24:05,938 --> 01:24:08,244
always saw him as lemonade and knocked over

2450
01:24:08,244 --> 01:24:09,835
a chance to grow. And when you're in

2451
01:24:09,835 --> 01:24:12,061
an industry that you're in like that, I

2452
01:24:12,061 --> 01:24:14,712
get it. So, you know, both turned out

2453
01:24:14,712 --> 01:24:16,631
okay. But I think with young,

2454
01:24:17,590 --> 01:24:19,847
you know, young moves the pocket well. He

2455
01:24:19,907 --> 01:24:21,985
anticipates well. He doesn't have a gun. These

2456
01:24:21,985 --> 01:24:24,951
more off like in that stance where he's

2457
01:24:24,951 --> 01:24:27,344
not a, you know, he doesn't have a

2458
01:24:27,344 --> 01:24:28,780
great arm, but he has a good enough

2459
01:24:28,780 --> 01:24:29,019
arm.

2460
01:24:29,976 --> 01:24:32,463
He's more like rents in the ability either

2461
01:24:32,463 --> 01:24:34,314
to maneuver in and out of a pocket

2462
01:24:34,689 --> 01:24:35,563
to an extent,

2463
01:24:36,834 --> 01:24:38,662
but maybe a little bit more dynamic than

2464
01:24:38,662 --> 01:24:40,489
lens can be and a little bit better

2465
01:24:40,489 --> 01:24:41,126
in the pocket.

2466
01:24:41,856 --> 01:24:43,925
So... And then what, like, Lawrence, he doesn't

2467
01:24:43,925 --> 01:24:45,993
have that athletic ability that Lawrence had. But

2468
01:24:46,072 --> 01:24:47,902
I think what you said in common makes

2469
01:24:47,902 --> 01:24:50,462
total sense. And when I watched that airline

2470
01:24:50,462 --> 01:24:52,212
of tape. I mean, really?

2471
01:24:52,928 --> 01:24:53,247
I mean,

2472
01:24:54,122 --> 01:24:55,951
there are a lot times people weren't open,

2473
01:24:56,667 --> 01:24:58,194
pressure with there pretty quickly.

2474
01:24:59,069 --> 01:25:00,898
It wasn't fair to look at him and

2475
01:25:00,898 --> 01:25:03,126
say he was bad as much as it

2476
01:25:03,126 --> 01:25:04,412
was fair to look at him in say,

2477
01:25:04,808 --> 01:25:07,584
he had bad surrounding talent and what you

2478
01:25:07,584 --> 01:25:09,487
would expect from a quarterback. He had no

2479
01:25:09,487 --> 01:25:10,201
chance to show.

2480
01:25:11,231 --> 01:25:13,471
So you still have to me, you still

2481
01:25:13,471 --> 01:25:15,142
have to go off the college tape and

2482
01:25:15,142 --> 01:25:15,301
say,

2483
01:25:16,017 --> 01:25:18,165
let's see and get a better infrastructure. So

2484
01:25:18,165 --> 01:25:19,849
for now, yeah. I'm I see him as

2485
01:25:19,849 --> 01:25:22,867
a 3600 yard player. Maybe knocking on 3700

2486
01:25:22,867 --> 01:25:24,535
yards. I think he can throw for more

2487
01:25:24,535 --> 01:25:26,838
than 20 touchdown with this offense around him.

2488
01:25:28,049 --> 01:25:28,549
And

2489
01:25:28,927 --> 01:25:30,845
that's... You know, maybe that doesn't put him

2490
01:25:30,845 --> 01:25:32,844
in the range of, you know,

2491
01:25:33,483 --> 01:25:34,542
start quarterback

2492
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,124
in terms of every week, but he's a

2493
01:25:38,124 --> 01:25:39,953
he's gonna be a guy that teams are

2494
01:25:39,953 --> 01:25:41,943
gonna have on their roster, and they're gonna

2495
01:25:41,943 --> 01:25:43,550
be using him on good match ups.

2496
01:25:44,509 --> 01:25:46,027
And I think that... And we're gonna see

2497
01:25:46,027 --> 01:25:47,864
the promise and go, oh, maybe we were

2498
01:25:47,864 --> 01:25:48,505
too hasty.

2499
01:25:49,543 --> 01:25:50,742
Well, yeah. And I think the big part

2500
01:25:50,742 --> 01:25:52,820
of it is, like, if you have that

2501
01:25:52,820 --> 01:25:54,742
confidence events in him, then it's really about

2502
01:25:54,742 --> 01:25:57,600
all the other pieces. Dean Johnson is my

2503
01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:59,663
most drafted wide receiver room in fantasy right

2504
01:25:59,663 --> 01:25:59,822
now.

2505
01:26:01,189 --> 01:26:03,030
Just because the guy goes... He goes too

2506
01:26:03,030 --> 01:26:05,270
late. Is he a perfect prospect? No? We

2507
01:26:05,270 --> 01:26:06,470
talked about some of the things with Garrett

2508
01:26:06,550 --> 01:26:09,270
Wilson that, like, ultimately have probably held Johnson

2509
01:26:09,270 --> 01:26:11,760
back from being a assistant. High end performer,

2510
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:13,755
but, like, he's got a wider receiver 8

2511
01:26:13,755 --> 01:26:15,031
overall finish on his resume.

2512
01:26:15,750 --> 01:26:17,505
He earns targets at a wider receiver 1.

2513
01:26:17,679 --> 01:26:20,072
Level. The guy gets open. Dave Analysis is

2514
01:26:20,072 --> 01:26:22,145
saying that, hey, basically basically their offense is,

2515
01:26:22,623 --> 01:26:24,697
where's Dia Johnson? Like, he's the guy that

2516
01:26:24,697 --> 01:26:26,690
they wanna make the focal point. So anytime

2517
01:26:26,690 --> 01:26:28,689
you a coach that wants to do that

2518
01:26:28,689 --> 01:26:30,750
on top of a player that already has

2519
01:26:30,750 --> 01:26:31,939
shown that they can just go out and

2520
01:26:31,939 --> 01:26:34,002
earn targets and every quarterback they've played with

2521
01:26:34,002 --> 01:26:35,606
ever in their life wants to throw to

2522
01:26:35,606 --> 01:26:38,155
them because usually good things happen for them

2523
01:26:38,155 --> 01:26:39,907
versus the other options they have on the

2524
01:26:39,907 --> 01:26:42,536
team. I think D Johnson is an absolute

2525
01:26:42,536 --> 01:26:44,623
deal right now in Fan drafts. Now he's

2526
01:26:44,623 --> 01:26:46,301
gotta stay healthy. He's also had an issue

2527
01:26:46,301 --> 01:26:46,621
with Health.

2528
01:26:47,580 --> 01:26:48,399
Johnson, and

2529
01:26:48,779 --> 01:26:50,557
he... You know, it's not like he's

2530
01:26:51,015 --> 01:26:52,629
had things that, like knock him for a

2531
01:26:52,629 --> 01:26:55,367
whole season, but it's always something. It's always

2532
01:26:55,426 --> 01:26:57,344
something. And and you you just know, you

2533
01:26:57,344 --> 01:26:59,103
see... You're sitting there watching Red zone, and

2534
01:26:59,103 --> 01:27:00,621
you got them in your lineup up and

2535
01:27:00,621 --> 01:27:02,152
first drive, you see him limp off the

2536
01:27:02,152 --> 01:27:03,896
field. Now he's playing through trying to play

2537
01:27:03,896 --> 01:27:05,244
through that the whole game. He's not the

2538
01:27:05,244 --> 01:27:05,720
same player,

2539
01:27:06,355 --> 01:27:07,941
that kind of stuff. So I think there's

2540
01:27:07,941 --> 01:27:10,736
definitely, like, some risk from that effective. But

2541
01:27:10,736 --> 01:27:12,171
as far as being a guy that can

2542
01:27:12,171 --> 01:27:13,845
go out there and, you know, attack the

2543
01:27:13,845 --> 01:27:15,758
different levels of the field, you know, get

2544
01:27:15,758 --> 01:27:18,125
open against the different coverage just different coverage

2545
01:27:18,244 --> 01:27:20,801
types. I really love Dean Johnson. But I

2546
01:27:20,801 --> 01:27:22,798
am curious of you know, your thoughts on

2547
01:27:22,798 --> 01:27:24,156
some of the rest of these guys. And

2548
01:27:24,237 --> 01:27:25,847
I would say, I I have I have

2549
01:27:25,847 --> 01:27:27,119
a Bryce Young similar to you,

2550
01:27:27,835 --> 01:27:29,505
but I think the ceiling is much higher

2551
01:27:29,505 --> 01:27:31,572
the 3600 yards. Yeah. Like, I I I'm

2552
01:27:31,730 --> 01:27:33,082
I'm with you with where he's at, but

2553
01:27:33,082 --> 01:27:34,139
when we talk about

2554
01:27:34,672 --> 01:27:37,787
ranking I think about okay. Does the guy

2555
01:27:37,787 --> 01:27:40,091
have a ceiling. I think Bryce Young, people

2556
01:27:40,091 --> 01:27:41,601
are everybody's talking about Levi. I think Bryce

2557
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:43,350
Young ceiling is way higher than we'll love.

2558
01:27:43,588 --> 01:27:45,280
I would I would I would rather draft

2559
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:47,039
Bryce young right now in a fancy draft

2560
01:27:47,039 --> 01:27:48,880
and will love us every day. If this

2561
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:49,380
offensive

2562
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,199
plays well, this office offensive blind plays well.

2563
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,328
I I haven't projected it close 65 percent

2564
01:27:54,328 --> 01:27:57,510
completion percentage. You you know. So I... I'm

2565
01:27:57,510 --> 01:27:59,657
with you on that on that end. I

2566
01:27:59,657 --> 01:28:01,421
just don't know about the wide receiver core

2567
01:28:01,421 --> 01:28:03,723
as a whole. And, you know, like, I

2568
01:28:03,723 --> 01:28:04,993
look at Johnson and say, yeah, I've gotten

2569
01:28:04,993 --> 01:28:06,979
it a hundred and 50 targets, knocking on

2570
01:28:06,979 --> 01:28:09,541
the door of 90 reset options a thousand

2571
01:28:09,541 --> 01:28:11,215
yard. A hundred and 50 target shouldn't be

2572
01:28:11,215 --> 01:28:12,650
going in around 7, 8 and 9 of

2573
01:28:12,810 --> 01:28:16,956
No. Exactly. Exactly. Ever. Exactly. So that that

2574
01:28:16,956 --> 01:28:19,520
gives you a perfect understanding of that. And

2575
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:21,671
then, yeah, The run game Chu Hubbard really

2576
01:28:21,671 --> 01:28:23,104
improved from week 1 on.

2577
01:28:23,900 --> 01:28:26,864
Compared... He's gradually improved each year from Mike

2578
01:28:27,024 --> 01:28:27,524
Gun

2579
01:28:28,222 --> 01:28:30,160
offense in Oklahoma state

2580
01:28:30,539 --> 01:28:33,836
to what he's done in Carolina, he's gotten

2581
01:28:34,069 --> 01:28:36,613
he's become a more mature player. So there's

2582
01:28:36,613 --> 01:28:38,703
a real upside to his game

2583
01:28:39,238 --> 01:28:41,622
right off the bat, and then as Brooks

2584
01:28:41,622 --> 01:28:44,033
comes in the same thing. Like, I have

2585
01:28:44,113 --> 01:28:45,412
I have them essentially

2586
01:28:46,750 --> 01:28:48,667
splitting the better half of 12 hun... 12,

2587
01:28:48,907 --> 01:28:50,345
1300 yards between them.

2588
01:28:51,799 --> 01:28:54,675
And Hubbard Hubbard being the guy, knocking on

2589
01:28:54,675 --> 01:28:56,752
the door 700 yards right now.

2590
01:28:57,791 --> 01:28:59,563
And then with Brooks, maybe later the year.

2591
01:28:59,801 --> 01:29:01,546
He gets most of his 640

2592
01:29:01,546 --> 01:29:02,418
yards, probably,

2593
01:29:03,212 --> 01:29:05,116
you know, later on in the year. So

2594
01:29:05,275 --> 01:29:07,417
I'm a fan of what I see out

2595
01:29:07,417 --> 01:29:09,420
of this you guys in terms of ability.

2596
01:29:09,738 --> 01:29:11,568
It's just a matter of whether that offensive

2597
01:29:11,568 --> 01:29:12,068
line

2598
01:29:12,443 --> 01:29:15,083
provides them the support that they need. And

2599
01:29:15,242 --> 01:29:17,073
I think that the line has the potential

2600
01:29:17,073 --> 01:29:17,710
to do that.

2601
01:29:18,823 --> 01:29:19,323
So

2602
01:29:19,779 --> 01:29:22,326
the... You know, there's... This is 1 of

2603
01:29:22,326 --> 01:29:23,838
those teams that you look at and say,

2604
01:29:24,649 --> 01:29:26,317
just... These are guys are gonna be buying

2605
01:29:26,317 --> 01:29:28,644
late and shopping off the waiver wire early

2606
01:29:28,938 --> 01:29:31,003
and getting production out of them. These this

2607
01:29:31,003 --> 01:29:32,752
is the team that probably will be the

2608
01:29:32,752 --> 01:29:34,989
most pick that from the waiver. What what

2609
01:29:34,989 --> 01:29:37,132
are your thoughts on Leah. Like, I'll say

2610
01:29:37,132 --> 01:29:39,300
real quickly on Jonathan Brooks, I think that

2611
01:29:39,434 --> 01:29:40,783
by the time you get in your fantasy

2612
01:29:40,783 --> 01:29:42,390
championship. There's a chance that, like,

2613
01:29:43,350 --> 01:29:45,829
he's winning be. Yeah. If if you if

2614
01:29:45,829 --> 01:29:48,229
you have him. Because Panthers probably still aren't

2615
01:29:48,229 --> 01:29:49,750
gonna be good this year. Now division is

2616
01:29:49,750 --> 01:29:52,631
not strong that leaves anything anything's possible.

2617
01:29:53,666 --> 01:29:55,177
They might be a 7 or 8 team

2618
01:29:55,177 --> 01:29:56,847
win win team. They could be it works

2619
01:29:56,847 --> 01:29:59,091
out. They should be. But overall, they still

2620
01:29:59,091 --> 01:30:01,002
got... Obviously, they've got they've got steps that

2621
01:30:01,002 --> 01:30:03,630
they've gotta take. K. But my point being,

2622
01:30:03,788 --> 01:30:05,142
there's just a lot of outs for Jonathan

2623
01:30:05,301 --> 01:30:07,393
Brooks. As much as I like what Chu

2624
01:30:07,472 --> 01:30:08,671
Hubbard done in the last few years. I

2625
01:30:08,671 --> 01:30:10,350
think Jonathan Brooks is clearly the better player.

2626
01:30:10,989 --> 01:30:12,827
And then I think the panthers are gonna

2627
01:30:12,827 --> 01:30:14,985
wanna see what they have. And Jonathan Brooks

2628
01:30:14,985 --> 01:30:16,755
at some point point the season. If if

2629
01:30:16,755 --> 01:30:18,588
you want a headline, I'll say this. I

2630
01:30:18,748 --> 01:30:20,980
I think Jonathan Brooks was a better prospect

2631
01:30:20,980 --> 01:30:21,697
than Jam Gibbs,

2632
01:30:23,132 --> 01:30:25,057
all around. Like isn't an all around. That's

2633
01:30:25,057 --> 01:30:26,330
all you need to know. By the time

2634
01:30:26,330 --> 01:30:28,079
you're in your fantasy championship, you want Jam

2635
01:30:28,079 --> 01:30:28,556
premier Gibbs,

2636
01:30:29,193 --> 01:30:31,021
whether it's the cheap version and a lesser

2637
01:30:31,021 --> 01:30:32,213
offense doesn't matter. Yeah.

2638
01:30:33,167 --> 01:30:34,860
Jonathan broke but I really wanna hear your

2639
01:30:34,860 --> 01:30:35,500
thoughts on we get.

2640
01:30:38,300 --> 01:30:40,140
I think they're gonna shoe horn him into

2641
01:30:40,140 --> 01:30:40,780
this offense,

2642
01:30:41,420 --> 01:30:42,940
and I don't think it's gonna work great.

2643
01:30:43,100 --> 01:30:44,953
I think he's like a faster A Sean

2644
01:30:45,113 --> 01:30:45,432
Jeffrey,

2645
01:30:46,711 --> 01:30:48,708
but needs some work with his routes. He...

2646
01:30:48,948 --> 01:30:51,286
If he can show potential as a guy

2647
01:30:51,586 --> 01:30:54,867
who can run timing routes. His ceiling goes

2648
01:30:54,867 --> 01:30:55,583
way up.

2649
01:30:56,299 --> 01:30:58,208
But I don't think he's a timing route

2650
01:30:58,208 --> 01:31:00,449
runner. I think he's gonna used more in

2651
01:31:00,449 --> 01:31:03,233
the screen in Rp game, and as kind

2652
01:31:03,233 --> 01:31:05,778
of a Kenny Go es type of player,

2653
01:31:05,857 --> 01:31:08,243
but without the surrounding talent to make him

2654
01:31:08,243 --> 01:31:10,725
beat Kenny go. Meaning I don't think there's

2655
01:31:10,725 --> 01:31:12,158
gonna be a lot of safety that are

2656
01:31:12,158 --> 01:31:12,476
gonna...

2657
01:31:13,273 --> 01:31:14,786
I don't think he's gonna get as many

2658
01:31:14,786 --> 01:31:17,175
matchup ups that where he's gonna beat safe

2659
01:31:17,175 --> 01:31:19,822
in line back away kenny validated in Detroit.

2660
01:31:19,981 --> 01:31:20,619
It's possible,

2661
01:31:21,258 --> 01:31:23,493
and he might get that year 2, year

2662
01:31:23,493 --> 01:31:25,807
3. But I would say Kenny Go is

2663
01:31:25,807 --> 01:31:26,739
probably like

2664
01:31:27,180 --> 01:31:29,340
the model of player you're looking at right

2665
01:31:29,340 --> 01:31:30,860
now until he shows that he can prove

2666
01:31:30,860 --> 01:31:32,860
his game. So for me this year, I

2667
01:31:32,860 --> 01:31:34,539
haven't met, like, 60 targets,

2668
01:31:34,940 --> 01:31:35,755
03:36

2669
01:31:35,755 --> 01:31:36,235
reception,

2670
01:31:36,795 --> 01:31:39,534
maybe 10 yards per catch close to 11

2671
01:31:39,835 --> 01:31:41,435
at a school. You're higher than me. I've

2672
01:31:41,435 --> 01:31:43,195
got them minute. Well, no. I'm... We're right

2673
01:31:43,195 --> 01:31:45,121
there together. Get them at 79 target, so

2674
01:31:45,201 --> 01:31:46,314
I'm a little bit higher than you... But

2675
01:31:46,314 --> 01:31:47,906
yeah. I I couldn't give him a big

2676
01:31:47,906 --> 01:31:49,417
target share based off of what I I'd

2677
01:31:49,417 --> 01:31:49,815
had seen.

2678
01:31:51,184 --> 01:31:53,257
And and and the supermodel wasn't crazy about

2679
01:31:53,257 --> 01:31:55,092
him. But they liked him to take him

2680
01:31:55,092 --> 01:31:57,804
in round 1II do get concern to your

2681
01:31:57,804 --> 01:31:59,957
point. I continue to hear. Oh, we're gonna

2682
01:31:59,957 --> 01:32:01,247
motion him around. We're gonna use them him

2683
01:32:01,247 --> 01:32:02,680
in the screen game. I'm like, you just

2684
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:03,795
took a do at the end round 1.

2685
01:32:03,953 --> 01:32:05,306
He's huge. Like, he needs to be able

2686
01:32:05,306 --> 01:32:05,944
to do more than that.

2687
01:32:06,819 --> 01:32:08,649
Listen. If I were them, I'd say,

2688
01:32:09,922 --> 01:32:12,561
leaves Xavier get alone. And if you wanna

2689
01:32:12,561 --> 01:32:15,105
do that shit, just use a amir Smarts

2690
01:32:15,264 --> 01:32:16,774
Smith who's already on your roster,

2691
01:32:17,331 --> 01:32:19,716
who is 10 times the player after the

2692
01:32:19,716 --> 01:32:21,250
cash that Xavier Leg is,

2693
01:32:22,449 --> 01:32:25,250
who... You already have a cheap discount. Just

2694
01:32:25,250 --> 01:32:27,329
go ahead and use him, and you're gonna

2695
01:32:27,329 --> 01:32:29,182
get about the same that you're gonna get

2696
01:32:29,182 --> 01:32:30,859
this year at a lot lower of a

2697
01:32:30,859 --> 01:32:32,376
cost, and then you can move forward and

2698
01:32:32,376 --> 01:32:34,372
get a real player that that's gonna help

2699
01:32:34,372 --> 01:32:36,927
you right away. And I the get could

2700
01:32:36,927 --> 01:32:38,454
become a real player. I just don't think

2701
01:32:38,454 --> 01:32:40,438
he is right now. But I'll tell you

2702
01:32:40,438 --> 01:32:42,738
this, you know, you've been gracious with your

2703
01:32:42,738 --> 01:32:44,744
time. You, you know, it's Saturday,

2704
01:32:45,593 --> 01:32:47,284
you know, It's time for us to enjoy

2705
01:32:47,284 --> 01:32:48,885
a little bit. Take a little time or

2706
01:32:48,885 --> 01:32:50,244
you got other work to do. I don't

2707
01:32:50,244 --> 01:32:52,085
know which 1. Maybe you're painting in the

2708
01:32:52,085 --> 01:32:54,645
background. You... Yeah. I I don't know who

2709
01:32:54,645 --> 01:32:56,258
that. I don't wanna insult the trainer back

2710
01:32:56,258 --> 01:32:58,412
there because it looks really good, but from

2711
01:32:58,412 --> 01:32:59,151
the blurred

2712
01:32:59,529 --> 01:33:00,029
perspective

2713
01:33:00,406 --> 01:33:02,479
salad I've seen in that 1. Yeah. From

2714
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:05,350
the reserve perspective, it it it conjure images

2715
01:33:05,350 --> 01:33:05,805
of

2716
01:33:06,164 --> 01:33:08,881
of of, like, a movie, a movie star,

2717
01:33:09,041 --> 01:33:10,879
I remember in the past, like Shelley Du

2718
01:33:10,879 --> 01:33:13,037
from, like, the shining, wearing like, a green

2719
01:33:13,037 --> 01:33:15,367
fire hat. Because I can't see it. I

2720
01:33:15,367 --> 01:33:17,442
can't see it well enough from from back

2721
01:33:17,442 --> 01:33:18,798
here. It's a a little more blurred out.

2722
01:33:18,958 --> 01:33:20,953
Yeah. There's a whole wall of them. Yeah.

2723
01:33:21,352 --> 01:33:23,042
From the kids like as you know, they're

2724
01:33:23,042 --> 01:33:24,797
all getting older now, but these are, like,

2725
01:33:24,877 --> 01:33:26,391
when they were they were in, like, a

2726
01:33:26,391 --> 01:33:27,667
middle school and elementary.

2727
01:33:28,545 --> 01:33:30,937
Yeah. That's well done. You know, That that's

2728
01:33:30,937 --> 01:33:32,469
for sure. You know, So I thought that's

2729
01:33:32,469 --> 01:33:34,147
cool. But, you know, we'll think, you know,

2730
01:33:34,467 --> 01:33:35,586

there for free for the most part.

2735
01:33:44,626 --> 01:33:46,460
The things that aren't, then, you know, obviously

2736
01:33:46,460 --> 01:33:48,613
wanna pay because, you know, we know how

2737
01:33:48,613 --> 01:33:49,890
good Dwayne work is.

2738
01:33:50,846 --> 01:33:53,093
