WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.439 We're gonna turn our attention to the world of the National Football League. We 2 00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:07.160 have not spoken with our good friend from Fantasypoints dot Com in a while, 3 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:09.640 and it's great to get him on the air on short notice. It's our 4 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:14.000 good buddy, the owner and managing editor of that great outlet, Travelers Rest 5 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:18.760 Own, Joe Dolan. What's up, man, Hey guys, nothing much, 6 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.120 It's it's good to talk to you. Finally, I gotta be honest. 7 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.320 I am I. I am not in Travelers Rest. I'm just south 8 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:30.480 of Travelers Rest, but closer to Travelers Rest than I am to downtown Greenville. 9 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.159 But just let's just sue a little choir Chorekaton Mayor Slater Marriott. We're 10 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.840 gonna track you down here. We're not gonna doct you, don't worry, 11 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.039 but we are going to get you in studio and football seat. We've talked 12 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.679 about that. I'm gonna follow make that happen because Joe is one of the 13 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.320 best in the business. You can follow him at Fantasypoints dot Com, where 14 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.920 he operates one of the great UH sports sites on the planet. Got a 15 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:53.799 great team out there, and Joe, it's great to hear from you. 16 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.159 Man, let's talk first of all, just about the story that is getting 17 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.799 probably too much traction this week, but the larger picture with the New York 18 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.959 Jets. Obviously, Aaron Rodgers is not participating, as roberts Heller said, 19 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.760 not unexcused. It's an excuse, inexcuse, subject to fines. Who knows 20 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.680 where Aaron is on that? Do you have anything on that? Do you 21 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.359 want to share? But the bigger picture being your Jets outlook for this season, 22 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.040 Joe go, it gives me a little bit more pause about and I'll 23 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.079 filter this through the lens of fantasy. It gives me a tiny bit more 24 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.719 pause about investing in the team. There are a lot of players that I 25 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.359 really really like and want to and want to invest in for fantasy, most 26 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.400 of which are Brief Hall and Garrett Wilson, both of whom are going in 27 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.519 the first kind of fantasy draft. Now brief Hall is dealing with a minor 28 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.680 injury. Not exactly sure what the deal is there, But look at the 29 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.519 way those guys produce without Aaron Rodgers last year. But I mean look, 30 00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:00.400 Aaron Rodgers' entire persona right now is raising the middle finger at people. That's 31 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:06.000 literally what he wants to do usually usually in the darkness. I feel like 32 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.960 he wants to do that in every walk of life, you know, like, 33 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.639 oh, you don't like me for this opinion, Well there's your middle 34 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.759 finger. And but I also think that football is part of that too, 35 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.280 right. He didn't get the he didn't get the opportunity to flip the middle 36 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.080 finger at people on the football field last year, So I have to think 37 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:30.159 he's still motivated in that regard. But but they said they they said that 38 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.680 he had planned this trip. I don't know where he is. Chase Daniel, 39 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.280 the former NFL quarterback, was on Twitter today saying, Man, if 40 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.360 you knew where Aaron was, like your mind would be blown. Did he 41 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.560 say that Joe did? Did Chase Daniel tweet that, Oh my god, 42 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.199 yeah, like something just something like that. Just I don't know, man, 43 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:53.960 I'm kind of tired. I'm kind of tired of it. Aaron Rodgers 44 00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.080 is cheap for fantasy. Uh, he I'm sure, I do. I 45 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.439 think this is much ado about nothing. But I think Aaron Rodgers is at 46 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.599 this point, like when he's not on the football field, he's just a 47 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.520 professional troll. He just wants to control people. He just wants to make 48 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.360 people mad. He wants to be the center of attention, and that's what 49 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.199 he's doing right now. And the Jets, also, by the way, 50 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.400 have the Hassan Reddick situation, so nothing is ever boring when it comes to 51 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.439 the New York Jets. I was going to say, Robert Sala's bald head 52 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:24.840 is going to start turning gray. He doesn't have any hair, but I 53 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.400 think the baldness is just that the scalp is going to turn gray. There's 54 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.840 times for Bob and I like Sala a lot, but his messaging it was 55 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.800 weird how they messaged this whole thing organizationally, the fact that, oh, 56 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.280 by the way, Hassan Reddick, as you know, is an excuse today 57 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:44.080 and Aaron's not going to be here this week. He had an event that 58 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.919 was very important to him. You would think there was a way to be 59 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.400 able to get that out to idiots like me and Trey and all of us 60 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.159 who want to speculate in a more reasonable manner. But it's fine, do 61 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.280 what you want. The Jets are a very talented group, Joe, as 62 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.360 you know, And I don't know what to make of Aaron Rodgers other than 63 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.840 he's probably doing a podcast with Rogan or he's probably doing vice presidential prep with 64 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:09.360 RFK. Who the hell knows, man, it's crazy. And look, 65 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.080 the thing is with the Justin we saw that team win games last year with 66 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.279 Zach Wilson at quarterback. You know, we saw them win games. Trevor 67 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.560 Stitty, you know, just guys who just who aren't competitive NFL players, 68 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.519 And we saw them win games because of their defense and because of their talent. 69 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.680 If you get seventy percent of Aaron Rodgers, that team's going to win 70 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:32.160 football games. It's because the talent is there. It's just that it feels 71 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.560 like they're one of those teams where if like the dominoes are just waiting to 72 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.560 fall with them. It is such a fragile organization right now. I'll tell 73 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.240 you another operation that feels a little bit like that for different reasons. Joe 74 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.800 Dolan is our guest here from Fantasy Points dot Com that of the Cowboys, 75 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.199 and I don't want to fall into this trap of thinking this is going to 76 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.279 be a bad year for them just because they did not invest in free agency. 77 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.040 I think they had a pretty good draft, at least by what their 78 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.839 measures were there. You can't a draft right after it happens. I've always 79 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.000 said that, but look, they've got some decisions to make McCarthy contract year. 80 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.720 You know what that usually means with a Jerry Jones operation. DAK is 81 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:14.120 going to cost about fifty billion dollars against their cap next year. They've got 82 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.879 a lot of things to do, they got people to pay. And this 83 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.519 feels like, and we talked with our good friends from PFF last week about 84 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.759 this, it feels like the type of situation this year were not do or 85 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.879 die, but man, if they can't start breaking through and get into a 86 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.959 championship game at least, which they haven't done since ninety four ninety five, 87 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.759 what the hell? Man? What do you make of Dallas from the fantasy 88 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:39.759 implications this year and the long term implications of what you think they might do 89 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.120 with the mess they're in right now. Well, there's a couple of things. 90 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.480 Number One, I talked to my good friend Marcus Boscher. I've been 91 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.879 doing a podcast There is John by the way, I'll be inviting you on 92 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.160 when we talk pay but I've been doing a podcast that he's breaking down every 93 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:59.040 team, and I talked to him about Seedee Lamb first and foremost, the 94 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.360 level of concern Ceedee Lamb getting a contract done virtually zero for me that they're 95 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.439 going to sign Ceedee Lamb. It's going to come in underneath Justin Jefferson, 96 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.759 but probably not by a ton. Justin Jefferson's a one of one, and 97 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.439 I don't think Ceedee Lamb is illusional enough to think that he should get paid 98 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.959 as much as Justin Jefferson. But it'll be close. It'll be close, 99 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.000 and Dallas is not going to let Seedee Lamb go. But Marcus was with 100 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.920 the opinion, and I'm starting to feel this way too, that the most 101 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.480 likely scenario is this is Dak Prescott's last year in Dallas, and or at 102 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.560 the very least, Dak Prescott is going to hit free agency now if the 103 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.879 Cowboys advanced to the Championship game for the first time since Tupac Shakor was on 104 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.040 the cover of the New York Times magazine, which by the way, is 105 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:50.079 one hundred percent true. Yes, it is the very day the Cowboys were 106 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.720 last played in the NFC Championship Game. The New York Times magazine to cover 107 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.720 was Tupac Shakor, Snoop Dogg and Sugar Night. Yes, that was eleven 108 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.000 years prior to us holding an iPhone in our hand too just to use yes 109 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:08.759 the season. So but if that's the first time that that happens, then 110 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.639 maybe the Cowboys start to talk themselves into it. But I almost wonder if 111 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.639 Jerry is starting to wonder himself if Dak prepped up the right kind to take 112 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.879 this over the finish line. Yeah, if he, If he is, 113 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.240 well, you sure can't help him this offseason. You're one hundred percent right 114 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.839 now. Like the way you put this, don't talk yourself into this being 115 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:33.040 a bad Cowboys season simply because they didn't invest in free agency, because they 116 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:38.120 have talent. The thing is, though, that the mist is undeniable, 117 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.680 and even though the most ardent Cowboys fans would agree with this, they would 118 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.120 have to This is one of the least improved contenders in the NFL, if 119 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:51.920 not thely improved contender, because you can't you can't argue with that. Where 120 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:56.360 are the improvements? You lost good offensive line in tyrants and time. I 121 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.240 know he's been injured, but you lost them. You're you're a number two 122 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:05.040 receiver behind Cdee Lamb a year older Brandon Cooks. They don't they're running back 123 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.959 is the guy they cast off last year, the Elliott. So like this 124 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.240 is they don't have to step on Gilmore currently on the roster. So really 125 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.600 like, I'm not really sure what their plan is, but I do know 126 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.480 this from a fantasy perspective. First and foremost, Rico Daddle interesting pick, 127 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.199 but I still think the Conboys are going to pick up a running back number 128 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.959 two. I can tell you one of my most drafted players is they're tight 129 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.320 end Jake Ferguson. The question that the easy question asked myself is besides Ceede 130 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.000 Lamb, who's catching passes on this team? Dat Prescott wants the tight end 131 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.039 Jake Ferguson's back time. But also I asked Marcus most of this question, 132 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.159 what are the chances of Ceedee Lamb breaks the NFL recepting record? It's well 133 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.200 within the range of outcomes. The Cowboys led the NFL and passed at test 134 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.519 last year. Again, they made no significant improvements to the receiving core. 135 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.120 Ceedee Lamb is in his prime. I mean, this is a guy who 136 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.679 bought over a hundred pack last year. Look, you don't bet on people 137 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:07.240 to break records unless you're getting the long odds, because well, that's why 138 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.919 they're records, right, you remember them forever, but you have an extra 139 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.759 game now compared to the one hundred and forty nine catch record. Like I 140 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.159 feel like, if the time is right, the time is now right. 141 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.320 I mean Michael Thomas, by the way, set the record a couple of 142 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.279 years ago in the sixteen game season. So at the same pace, Ceedee 143 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.559 Lamb breaks the record by like nine catches. So look, I'm not gonna 144 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:37.320 make that wager, but this is the first time I can ever remember coming 145 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.360 into a season and thinking, man, this player could break the single season 146 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.200 record of this like that. That's how that's how ripe this opportunity is. 147 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.279 Yeah, thanks for throwing that terrible talent me, and we're gonna pivot over. 148 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.600 Joe. We've got a terrible tale draped over one of our Panthers portraits 149 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.159 in the studio. Frey Falco, here is a Steelers fan, and I've 150 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.159 thrown the terrible towel at him, and I'm gonna let him take over here 151 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.840 with some Pittsburgh Steelers question. Take it away. I've got some fantasy questions 152 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.799 because we don't talk a whole lot of fantasy football on here. It is 153 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.320 not your Daddy's Pittsburgh anymore, things are changing, things are removing. We 154 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.799 got can't you pick it out of there? There's a more Matt Candell ride 155 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.519 all right, barring any weird crazy off the wall trades like a Brandon Ayuk 156 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.879 or something. How do you feel about George picking this year? Is he 157 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:26.679 gonna eat George George Pickens? I have is like wide receiver twenty five, 158 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.480 twenty six, like in that range as a high end wide receiver three for 159 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.480 Fantasy's low wide wide receiver two. And the question I have is is twofold 160 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.080 number one. It's Arthur Smith in general, and I think he's probably gotten 161 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.039 a little bit of humble pie after last year. People just consistently ragging on 162 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.480 him for not utilizing but the absolute wealth of talent that he has to start 163 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.720 playing. In fact, he tried to fight Dennis Allin at the end of 164 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:58.120 the year. Wasn't But there's no But also when it comes to to Arthur 165 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.159 Smith, first foremost we in the fantasy community think he should have run the 166 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.600 ball a little bit more with Jonn Robinson than he did. He gave Tyler 167 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.039 Algier a bunch of carried but you know you said it's not your daddy Steelers. 168 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.399 I might push back again a little bit because I think the Steelers are 169 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.000 going to run the hell out of the football this year. Look, that's 170 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.879 right, Who's their quarterback going to be? Either Russell Wilson, who hasn't 171 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.120 had a good season with his arm in over two years, or Justin Fields, 172 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:31.320 who's never had a good season with his arm. So that's that's why 173 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.240 he's a kickoff returner number one. Now it's the fields plan. They have 174 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.559 two really good running backs. I love the way Naji Harris finished last year. 175 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.960 I thought he ran angry, especially after they got rid of Matt Canada. 176 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.240 Jalen Warren is that is has great burst. I let both of those 177 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.080 guys for Fantasy now pickings you like because Pittsburgh like their number two receiver right 178 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.840 now might be Roman Wilson in the rookie of Michigan. So but I just 179 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.600 think this is going to be a runhead eighteen, whether it's Russell Wilson or 180 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.759 Justin Fields a quarterback and Arthur Smith, my problem with him is his player 181 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.320 utilization. I don't have a problem with his play design, and I think 182 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.440 his play design is going to be a breath of fresh air for Steelers fans. 183 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.000 Now do you think this could be, like I guess in Naji Harris 184 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:22.120 terms a record season for him. You see nause you really cooking, see 185 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.240 a lot more of those angry runs, and of course we're going to see 186 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.240 a lot. I think they're still going to do that duo with Jaylen Warren 187 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.200 Naji Harrison kind of flipping back between the both of them. But what do 188 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.080 you how do you feel about Naji Harris going on CRA's asking you can we 189 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.720 pass it as least amount of times as possible, Russ or justin? Please? 190 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.960 So here's the deal for Dodgy seventy four receptions of the rookie forty one 191 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:46.919 in his second year, all the way down to twenty nine last year, 192 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.960 and the reason for that that trend is obviously the involvement of Jalen Warren, 193 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:58.200 who right, it's just the more explosive receiver Naji. If I had to 194 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.480 say, I would say, I think I would think his opportunities to two 195 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.519 hundred and fifty carries in the thirty eight targets, it's going to remain consistent, 196 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.840 And I just think that's only because there's one ball to go around. 197 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.799 But I think both both Naji Harris and Jalen Warren are being drafted inside the 198 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.679 top thirty running backs right now. They're being drafted very close to each other, 199 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.240 as a matter of fact, with Naji Harris going ever so slightly ahead 200 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:28.279 of Dalen Warren. I'm looking at underdog fantasy right now. Naji Harris's average 201 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.399 draft position is RB twenty two. Jalen Warren's average draft position. Oh and 202 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.159 oh god, let me tell you fantasy players love Jalen Warren. He'd RB 203 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.120 twenty five right now. I actually kind of like them both at eighty P. 204 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:45.000 I think they both can can pay off at that just based on how 205 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.000 I expect Arthur's fifth playoffs, I think it could be a redo of the 206 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.960 O nine Panthers, where you have two backs with a thousand yards. That's 207 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.159 how desperately Arthur wants to run the ball and might have to run the ball. 208 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.200 But we'll see Mike Tomlin gets the extension. There's your Steelers talk for 209 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.919 the day as we pivot to the homeown Panthers, Joe Dolan joining us here. 210 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.080 Yeah, look, we've cartoon in lampoon this team enough. Let's just 211 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.120 get to the bear facts. It has not been pretty. They have turned 212 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.879 over coach after coach. A lot of that starts at the top, as 213 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:15.799 we know. But in this position now, for Dave Canalis, his number 214 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.519 one job is to get the most out of this quarterback. But I scoff 215 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.200 at that too, because I hear people telling me that's the most important thing 216 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.480 is make sure Bryce hung is a legitimate first overall pick. It's the chicken 217 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.720 or the egg. It really is about the surroundings environment. And when I 218 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.279 covered this team last year, the separation wasn't there. They had Deontay Johnson. 219 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.559 They obviously go out and they map up the backfield with Jonathan Brooks, 220 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.519 Jatavian Sanders in the draft, leget in the draft. Is there any hope 221 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.000 for this team to show a little progress on offense this year with their coach 222 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.399 combo with the quarterback and more broadly here what defines success for this team this 223 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:58.519 year? Oh? Look, I know, I know. Mayfield not a 224 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.759 taller quarterback. Okay, Bryce Young make Baker Mayfield look like a professional wrestler. 225 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:09.879 But Mayfield is not a taller quarterback. And Dave Canal has just coached 226 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.759 a career reviving here Baker Mayfield about one hundred million dollars contract, and he 227 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.679 has Dave Canalis really to thank for that. Here is one of the things 228 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:24.320 that I like that the Panthers did this offseason because when I view Bryce Young, 229 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:31.360 I view the biggest concern for Bryce Young being the inability to really see 230 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.639 and process things when he's in the pocket, especially a collapse in pocket. 231 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.840 So I really like that the Panthers invested in the interior of the offensive line. 232 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:45.399 I think that's where they really can get the games. Obviously, they 233 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.720 went out and they get Robert Hunt on the big contract. They go out 234 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.919 and they signed Damian Lewis. I thought that was really important for the Panthers. 235 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:58.320 But I think the analog that Panther fans probably want to look at is 236 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.200 not that Frank Grekson but obviously a good and decent man. But on the 237 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:10.360 field, the comparison you're probably looking for is year two for Trevor Lawrence. 238 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.879 Right, Yeah, that comes to mind. Absolute disaster that was the Urban 239 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:19.039 Meyer tenure in Jacksonville. And I know Bryce wasn't probably as regarded as well 240 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:26.080 regarded as Trevor Lawrence, But that's the analog that you're looking for Deontay Johnson. 241 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.200 I think is a good player. He has some injury hit issues. 242 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.360 Adam Feelin's still there. Now here's the thing, and you guys well know 243 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.360 this Adam Feeling. I can't imagine what poor Bryight Young's confidence would have been 244 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.639 like. If Adam Feeln wasn't with the Panthers, life have been a nightmare. 245 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.519 I was there, I saw twenty three. Adam Feeling cannot be your 246 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:51.080 best player, John, And he taught. He taught every bit of those 247 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:55.360 thousand yards last year, like every inch he had heard, because as you 248 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.639 well know, you don't separate that well on the flip side of thirty three 249 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.639 thirty four, And you're exactly right, Joe, before we run out of 250 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.359 time here, Joe Dolan is our guests here from Fantasy Points, and I 251 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.559 don't want to lose you again on the phone because the connection is kind of 252 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.519 walking us up in Pinehurst. You've played this track, who's gonna win it? 253 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:12.799 Who's gonna win it? This week? And what what are they facing? 254 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.720 What are they facing on this course? Uh the like? For instance, 255 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.200 I'm not a good golfer. I consider breaking one hundred of good play 256 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:26.279 for me it's fine. I played well, like for my standard that Hurst 257 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.079 two and I shot one fourteen fine, and I walked off thinking, man, 258 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.799 I played pretty good, and it's the green complexes that are better challenging, 259 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.960 brutal. Yeah, but look, I'm not betting agains. Scotty Scheffer. 260 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.440 I think the course sets up for him perfectly. Scotty Scheffer, it 261 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.240 is well. Last time I picked scottiy Scheffer when a major, he was 262 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.799 in handcuffs the morning of, so I've out of respect to his family, 263 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.839 I'm going uh with another pick this week. I'm picking Tiger because I'm insane 264 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.200 and I don't gamble, so what the hell. Hey, it's a flat 265 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.240 track, Hey Joe, screw you, Joe, It's a flat course. 266 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.720 If he's gonna come out of hibernation, no better time than this week. 267 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:06.599 I know it's a terrible pet. I would love if Tiger won, love 268 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.759 like his twenty nineteen Masters is like my favorite sporting event a time. Well. 269 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.039 I would love if he trade pick more Kawa. I like that pick. 270 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.599 I like more Kala in this one.
