I spent Super Bowl 118 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.759 weekend down just outside of Louisville drafting in a bunch 119 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.639 of drafts with him, and he's here tonight not only 120 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.959 to reference some of those drafts, but we're going to 121 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.519 talk about some fresh player evaluations coming up to the 122 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.600 tail end of February drafting. We'll talk about what you 123 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.839 should be doing if you are drafting early on in 124 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.480 the FFPC season, like many of you are who are 125 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.600 watching and listening and whatever else we can cram into 126 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.680 sixteen minutes.

How you doing doing excellent? I would 129 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.839 say welcome back to the show, because the last time 130 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.680 you were on, I think was it a live on 131 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.439 HSFO or Big Gorilla that you and your grandson were 132 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:46.839 both on. 133 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.759 Yes, we were doing that, and I'm disappointed I couldn't 134 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.360 have him here tonight. But he's got a basketball game 135 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.639 in the morning, so he is already asleep. 136 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.480 Yeah, he's got to get that rest, got to get 137 00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.680 that rest to make make sure that he is firing 138 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.879 on all cylinders tomorrow. I'm pleased to have you a 139 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.439 board tonight. Thank you for pinch hitting for Pharaoh who 140 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.639 could not make it. He sends his regrets, but he 141 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:11.800 is hopefully just listening to us on his drive back 142 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.879 from New Orleans to Louisville. I hope he's not watching 143 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.839 us on YouTube, but I don't put anything past anyone, Bob. 144 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.120 Before we get into the fantasy football portion of the 145 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.240 program tonight, when you are not winning all these FFPC 146 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.800 and KFFFC leagues, tell the listeners and the viewers what 147 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:25.600 you're doing for a living. 148 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.120 Well, I'll give you a quick story. Back in the 149 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.720 late nineteen seventies and eighties, I taught high school. I 150 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.720 left teaching after three years and did forty three years 151 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.519 of computer work before retiring in early twenty twenty four. 152 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.480 Got bored to death because I don't play much golf, 153 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.319 so I got my teaching license back and now I 154 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.839 am teaching middle school science and a Catholic school K 155 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.800 through eight. So I get to see my grandkids every 156 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:51.879 day because they got there. 157 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.000 That is awesome? Is and what a career arc on that? Now, 158 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.800 what were you teaching in the three years when you 159 00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.839 started teaching? Were you also teaching science? 160 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.240 Yeah? I was teaching physics and earth science as well 161 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.920 as some algebra and calculus, pretty much all the gamut 162 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.680 of math along with science. 163 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.920 So from teaching science to working in computers for four 164 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.959 decades to being retired. So how long were you retired? 165 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:17.560 Like one year? 166 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:23.079 I was retired for nine months. I guess eight months. 167 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.199 But I went back to school almost immediately. I found 168 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.519 out to get my license, I just needed two classes, 169 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.720 So I took a couple here locally in southern Indiana 170 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.039 and got my license. 171 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.120 Good for you, man, that's awesome. What a story and 172 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.759 no end insight. Right, we all got to have a purpose. 173 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.080 Your purpose is teaching, hanging out with your grandkids, and 174 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.080 playing fantasy football, which which is great. That's not a 175 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.639 bad way to do it, Bob. I think you got 176 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.720 this life thing figured out. Let's get into speaking of 177 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.919 fantasy football. Let's get into fantasy football tonight. Farrell Elliott 178 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.480 by the way, watching pleased eyes on the road Farrel, 179 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.679 I'm telling you right now, I don't want to hear 180 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:02.639 a news report tomorrow morning about anything that might have 181 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.320 befallen you on the roadway, so be safe. I want 182 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.720 to talk about your big Gorilla championship team from last year, 183 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:10.759 one of the leagues that you won a league title in. 184 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.480 One of the big reasons for that win was Kyron Williams, 185 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.879 who you know. Once again, I was listening to Jake 186 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.480 seely talk about this the other day, and he was saying, 187 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.919 you know, he's never seen anybody be so successful, and 188 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.840 yet everybody seemingly wants to tank his draft stock. Right, 189 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:29.240 He's not a pedigreed guy. He's gonna split with Blake 190 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.159 Koram he can't. There's gonna be regression coming. And seemingly 191 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.759 every single year this guy finishes as right around the 192 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.840 top twelve running back. Same thing happened last year, And 193 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.320 I have to ask this for this upcoming season. We 194 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.840 saw Blake Korm kind of creep into that backfield, taking 195 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.320 over some of the volume that Kyraen Williams has owned 196 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.279 over the course of the last two or three years. 197 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.000 What do you think the split is gonna look like 198 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:55.240 between Williams and Korum in that Rams backfield this upcoming season, 199 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.879 Now that we know they're kind of already you know, 200 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.320 the band is back together, Stafford's coming back. We know 201 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.759 Williams and Korm are going to be leading that backfield 202 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.000 for fantasy purposes. What's the best way to handle this pot? 203 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.000 Well, I'll tell you. In those sixth drafts we did 204 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:12.639 on Super Bowl weekend a couple of weeks ago, I 205 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.919 got no Kien Williams. So maybe that tells you what 206 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.799 my thought is. Uh, he was going fourth fifth round 207 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.559 in those drafts, and I thought that was too high 208 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:27.519 with him. Maybe splitting more and more with Korm Williams 209 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.039 was good for me up through the playoffs and he 210 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.200 was really good. But toward the end of the season 211 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.600 they did give the ball more and more to Koram. 212 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:40.080 But honestly, gric O'dowdell and round Wandale were my two 213 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.759 best picks because I got them in double digit grounds 214 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:44.759 in that league. 215 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.919 Did you just speaking of Wandell Robinson, did you see anything? 216 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.360 I mean, because sometimes I asked people when they when 217 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.720 they get like Dawdle's a perfect example. I drafted a 218 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.519 good moment of Doubtell last year. But if somebody would 219 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.960 ask me, oh, what did you see in Dubell, I'd 220 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.960 be like, I don't know. I didn't see a ton. 221 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.360 I mean, I know he's talented enough to carry the load. 222 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:08.279 I knew that unless Hubbard went down, he would never 223 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.360 be the belcow there, but I knew that there was 224 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.879 a possibility where I could get this window where he 225 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.120 performed for two or three weeks, maybe even more than that. 226 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.559 Where I could utilize him, and that's exactly what happened. 227 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.080 Wandell Robinson's a little bit different because I think like 228 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.120 in order to draft him, you really have to like 229 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.440 a receiver. Right running back is such an opportunity based 230 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.440 thing and fantasy football, but wide receiver. Not to say 231 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:31.960 that you don't have to have talent to be a 232 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.600 running back, but I think wide receiver you do have 233 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:39.480 to have some modicum of talent in order to kind 234 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.720 of force your way into the lineup, because if one 235 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.879 receiver goes down in a specific team, that doesn't always 236 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.159 necessarily mean that another receiver is going to step in 237 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.360 and do everything. And I don't think anybody saw Wandale 238 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.360 Robinson coming to the degree that he had last year. 239 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.639 Obviously the Neighbors injury had something to go with it. 240 00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.720 But Wandale Robinson's an interesting guy. What did you see 241 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.279 in him that made you want to draft him late? 242 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.440 Well, you talk about opportunity, and opportunity in a PPR 243 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:11.279 league is catches and targets, and he was a target 244 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.639 hog in twenty three and twenty four. So for me, 245 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.720 it's he's never going to get well. He did one time, 246 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.759 but he's generally not going to get you a twenty 247 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.679 five or thirty point game, but if you're getting him 248 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.000 as your wide receiver three or flex or a fill in, 249 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.399 and he's going to get you twelve or thirteen points 250 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.039 a week just from catching seven balls for fifty yards. Yeah, 251 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.320 and I had I had a ton of him last 252 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:36.840 year and the year before. 253 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.639 And he had that really big Spike Week game early 254 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.559 in the season too, which which kind of set him 255 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.919 up one thousand yard seasons and congratulations in one. 256 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.559 And actually, sadly and a couple of teams I didn't 257 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:49.240 play him that week. 258 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.519 Yeah right, Yeah, well that's why it happens. Yeah, it's 259 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:57.200 just whatever the FFPC never too early, ADP. Getting it 260 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.559 back to the Rams backfield here right now, I'm looking 261 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.440 at Kyron Williams is running back seventeen. I'm looking at 262 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:07.000 Blake korm As running back thirty four, Kien Williams three twelve, 263 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.039 Blake Korum nine oh four. And I'm getting this data 264 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.519 from Fantasy Mojo at Fantasy Mojo on ex fantasymojo dot com. 265 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.840 It's run by Darren ARMANI, the godfather of the pro 266 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.639 versus Joe's Challenge. Anytime we cite ADP. It's through his website. 267 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.639 Check it out, especially if you're playing in the FFPC. 268 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.240 Get one of those very affordable memberships there at Fantasy Mojo. 269 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.799 So I'm talking about basically five and a half rounds 270 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.519 difference between Karen Williams and Blake Koram. I don't know 271 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.480 if you got any quorum out in Kentucky this a 272 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.720 couple of weeks ago, Bob, but it sounds like you 273 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.200 would much rather if you had your druthers, if you're 274 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.120 gonna pick one of these Rams running backs, it sounds 275 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:45.000 like you want to pass on Williams and you would 276 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.120 rather take Korum. 277 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:49.320 In the ninth absolutely, and I plan to if Koram 278 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.879 stays down at that spot. I don't know that he will. 279 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.600 I did not get him in Kentucky a couple of 280 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.440 weeks ago, but that's just the way the draft went. 281 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.000 Every time I either had enough running backs and I 282 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.480 was trying to make up for a lack of wide 283 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.519 receivers or looking into rookie running backs or something at 284 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.840 that point, and and so I just never did get him, 285 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:11.960 but I would. I was targeting him. I don't know 286 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.879 how many times I had him on my next pick 287 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.879 list and you or somebody else got him in front 288 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:19.080 of me. 289 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.960 I think it's funny because I wanted him in more leagues. 290 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:24.960 I think I may have only got him once, but 291 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:26.679 I didn't I did you know I would. I would 292 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.440 do that fist clench every time somebody would take him 293 00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:31.759 in front of me, because I do think that there 294 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.639 is value in him this year and be very excited 295 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.080 to see what happens, especially if Kyraen Williams were to 296 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.080 miss any significant time quar him in that offense as 297 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.279 the one a that that could be very, very lucrative 298 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.799 for anybody who invests in him this year. Let's move 299 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.080 on to the team that the Rams defeated in order 300 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:52.120 to get to the NFC Championship this past year, and 301 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.960 that's the Chicago Bears. Luther Burden was also on this 302 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.559 championship squad that you had last year in the FFPC 303 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.960 Big Gorilla. Currently his FFPCE he never to really best 304 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.200 ball ADP has moved quite a bit from where it 305 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.960 was at this point last year. Obviously, he is now 306 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.440 a mid fifth round pick. He's being drafted as wide 307 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.000 receiver twenty four. Bob, does does that strike you as 308 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.559 a price that you are in or out on Luther 309 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.919 Burden this year, considering there's a lot of hype in 310 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.039 the high stakes industry around this player for this upcoming season. 311 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:24.799 Again, I did not get any Burden, but it's not 312 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.320 because I didn't want to. I felt like he was. 313 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.039 He was going a little rich for me, but not 314 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.679 really too much. It just never he never really fell 315 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:38.159 to me when I wanted him. I am a little 316 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.519 concerned if he goes up that high, or if he 317 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.320 goes any higher, that there may not be enough balls 318 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.799 to go around in Chicago. I got a doing say 319 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.720 on some Dynasty team, so I'm a little prejudiced toward him, 320 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.000 and I keep thinking he's going to be better than 321 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:56.440 he is. But what really worries me is Loveland Love 322 00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:59.399 looks like the guy that's going to be the main 323 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:00.559 target on IT team. 324 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:05.360 Yeah, I would agree, and sky's the limit for Loveland 325 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.000 this year, I do think. And we'll see how this 326 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.559 breaks down. One of the things, because I was kind 327 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.639 of I drafted Burden a decent amount in at the 328 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.519 Super Bowl the Super Sunday for the kff C. I 329 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.519 drafted him a decent amount there. I think, what's gonna 330 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.159 be interesting. You and I are an agreement here on 331 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:27.600 Loveland being the guy on that offense. However, Odoonsay was 332 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:31.080 battling like that foot injury right towards the end of 333 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.519 the season and even the mid part of the season. 334 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.399 He because he came out, he had a really really 335 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.639 good looking early part of the season, and then he 336 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.200 gets dinged up and then I didn't know, Like it's 337 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.960 so tough to tell, like was was he hampered and 338 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.200 not getting the ball thrown to him because he was 339 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.519 playing through that foot injury because the Bears were trying 340 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.399 to get to a Super Bowl Or was Burden just 341 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.840 that much better? I don't know, And I think it's 342 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:55.840 gonna be very interesting to see. We're gonna know as 343 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.039 soon as the season starts. If Odoonsay starts off, you know, 344 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.559 similar to how he started off the twenty twenty five season. Well, no, okay, 345 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.119 it was probably the foot, and and it looks like 346 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.480 it's wheels up for Oduns could quite frankly be wheels 347 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.680 up for everybody on that offense. There's a non zero 348 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.599 chance that DJ Moore is not playing with the Bears 349 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.039 this year too, which means that and I think Caleb 350 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.319 Williams and Ben Johnson. They run a good enough offense 351 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.400 to support Lovelin, o'doonsey, and Burden to varying degrees on 352 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:24.599 that too. It would be something to watch and maybe 353 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:25.400 I agree. 354 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.920 You know, Zakias also got a little bit of play 355 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.519 in the middle of the season, and then for the end, 356 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.519 DJ Moore actually came back, so it was like they 357 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:37.680 were going to him at the end of ball games 358 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.920 when they felt they had to get a first down 359 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.160 or they had to get the ball in the end zone. 360 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:46.119 He was catching passes that to me seemingly out of 361 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:47.720 nowhere because I thought he was washed. 362 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.240 I didn't. I mean, I don't know, like he's it's 363 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:54.559 not like he's that old, but it just seemed like 364 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:58.000 he was so forgotten in that offense, just you know, 365 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.039 for whatever reason. And Bob, knowing that you have Odunzan 366 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.480 and some Dynasty teams, if this is true that the 367 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:05.640 Bears are actually gonna move to Indiana, are you going 368 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:06.640 to become a Bears fan? 369 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.160 Well, that's that would be a really long story. My 370 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.000 best friend forever it's a huge Bears fan, so I 371 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.279 can't possibly like them. 372 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.640 Well that makes perfect sense. Then that makes perfect sense, 373 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.319 let's let's talk about this is another player that was 374 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.240 on your team last year that that won that big 375 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.039 Gorilla league, and he's an interesting conundrum this year in 376 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.839 fantasy football. That's Javonte Williams. He's going at the five 377 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.200 oh five in f FPC never two early drafts right now, 378 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.039 just so everybody's aware. He's basically back to back with 379 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.759 Quinn Shawn Judkins. He's about a half round ahead of 380 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:47.279 DeAndre Swift, and he's about a half round behind Cam Skataboo. 381 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.680 He's an interesting player because we don't know exactly where 382 00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:53.960 he's gonna be playing. If you, you know, put a 383 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:55.480 gun to my head and say you need to pick one, 384 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:57.440 I would probably say he ends up in Dallas. Would 385 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.480 not surprise me if he ends up somewhere else, perhaps Houston, 386 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.240 Kansas City, you know, any of these teams of Seattle. 387 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.920 I mean, I don't know. Do you plan on Javonte 388 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.240 Williams being back in Dallas? Do you plan on him 389 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:13.759 being the Belcow Again? Is that how you're approaching Javonte 390 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.400 Williams and drafts right now? Because if that is the case, 391 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.279 running back twenty three I think is a pretty good 392 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:19.960 bargain for him. 393 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.039 Yeah, I did get even one draft down there at 394 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.039 the Casino a couple of weeks ago. But last year 395 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:29.680 when I was getting him, and I got him a 396 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.920 lot in the one of the big paybacks in Louisville, 397 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.279 the one thousand dollars injuries, I got him in the 398 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:39.680 fourteenth round, and I mean that was an unbelievable steal 399 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.079 to get him there. As far as this coming year, 400 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:45.640 I think he will end up back at Dallas, but 401 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.400
