I want to bring up your appearance 109 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.600 in pros Versus Joe's, Craig, and we have to go 110 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.639 back to the year, and I'm looking it up right now. 111 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.680 We have to go back of the year. You've been 112 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:08.279 in it once and this was twenty oh boy, twenty fifteen, 113 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.800 so eleven years ago you were in it. Correct me 114 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.639 if I'm wrong. Maybe you don't remember. Now, did you 115 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.399 not start off with the infamous Purple Sasquatch. 116 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:21.199 The three tight Ends? 117 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:21.519 Yes? 118 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.319 Yeah, yeah, Now I don't go ahead. I don't recall 119 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.439 how that team ended up. 120 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.959 I don't think I won that league, but you know, 121 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.639 I had a lot of fun doing it, so it was. 122 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.560 A good, good experiment. Now it had to be like 123 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.879 what Grock, Jimmy Graham. I can't even remember who the 124 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:39.920 third one would have been. 125 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:45.360 But yeah, I am I'm trying. I'm desperately efforting, and 126 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:46.639 I don't know. I think this is one of the 127 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.160 rare times Mojo does not have this on his website, 128 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.560 which is weird because he has everything else on his website. 129 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.240 We can yeah, it's it's he has everything going on 130 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.759 with FFPC prosers is Joe starting in twenty sixteen and forward, 131 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.079 so I can't look up. The only thing I could 132 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.600 tell you about that year, Craig, you finished twentieth overall, 133 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.439 So I don't know if you won the league, but 134 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.759 you finished twentieth overall that year with the purpose respectable 135 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.240 for that very respectable, one hundred percent respectable. Have you 136 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.360 done the purple Sasquatch in the FFPC since then? 137 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:23.399 I don't think so. 138 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:25.959 I think I've done maybe the double tight end, but 139 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.800 the triple is just that's a bit reckless. 140 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.560 I have to say it's reckless, but it's like you said, 141 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:33.560 it's so much fun. By the way, I shouldn't mentioned 142 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.240 this up at the top. You can connect with Craig 143 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.279 on x at c Campbell FF as well. Let's get 144 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:44.959 into it, guys. There was a groundswell of support for 145 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.879 AJ Brown after he got traded to New England. And 146 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.439 I know Andrew Erickson from Fantasy Pros is the guy 147 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.639 that always is is ringing first in my head when 148 00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.319 I think about AJ Brown, as a Patriot and how 149 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.079 high he thinks the ceiling is. But there's other people 150 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.759 that are big believers in Brown as a New England patriot. 151 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:06.000 Well. 152 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.879 Earlier this week, Andrew Callahan, who covers the Patriots for 153 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.480 The Boston Herald, reported that the struggles that Brown had 154 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.160 been having downfield were noteworthy this going on in the 155 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:21.680 first week of training camp for New England. Callahan went 156 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.480 on to say, it has not been a smooth transition 157 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.399 for AJ Brown going from Philadelphia to this New England offense. 158 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.879 And Drake May has had no problems connecting on big 159 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.919 play after big play with one. Kayshawn Boody, who was 160 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.759 expected to be traded to somebody else after the acquisition 161 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.840 of AJ Brown hasn't happened yet. The piece in the 162 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.240 Boston Herald by Callahan, the quote here May's primary deep 163 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.759 all option in twenty twenty five is referring to Booty 164 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:58.120 has unquestionably, unquestionably, excuse me, been the most dangerous receiver 165 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.960 in camp up until till Wednesday. Out of the ten 166 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.639 targets that Brown and May have had, Brown's only caught 167 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.080 three of them. So there's been miscommunications. There's just been 168 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.799 like timing issues. I don't know, Ferrel, I'll let you 169 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.440 lead this off before we get into Craig and his 170 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:18.399 thoughts on this. But the ADP for Brown is climbing up, 171 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.200 and now we get this report. Is this just normal 172 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.879 camp stuff when a guy's trying to get developed chemistry 173 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.960 with this new quarterback? Or do you think this is 174 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.799 something that's going to linger and maybe should be something 175 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.600 we prepare for at least early in the season if 176 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.399 we sink a high ADP or excuse me, a high 177 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.759 draft pick in aj Brown in the Big Gorilla, the 178 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:38.759 main event or what have you. 179 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.080 Oh, fellas, I think that the beat writers should not 180 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.919 be allowed to attend practice until the right before the preceding. 181 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.879 It's just pure nonsense. The same guy that road about 182 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.399 Jamar Jay is dropping the ball years ago. Remember the 183 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.600 great jamar ch the draft ball. Let's get real, they've 184 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.720 been there what three days or good? 185 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:01.559 You know? Yeah? 186 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.799 This is nice? This is uh? I would is it is? 187 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.360 It affects fantasy football. Let's file that one in the 188 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.919 nonsense category. 189 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.720 Okay, nonsensical, says Sparrel. Elliott Craig. It is a two 190 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.519 oh eight uh. As far as the ff PC Big Gorilla. 191 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.279 By the way, Fantasy Mojo is where I got that 192 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.039 data from at Fantasy Mojo on theex fantasymojo dot com. 193 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.039 Darren armani the godfather of the process Joe's also runs 194 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:28.720 Fantasy Mojo. If you're playing in the f f PC, 195 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.159 make sure you're getting a subscription to Fantasy Mojo. It's invaluable. 196 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.279 I'm looking at it right now, Craig. Over the last 197 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.399 three days, AJ Brown is wide receiver seven at the 198 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.440 two to oh eight. Does that seem like a spot 199 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.159 you want to be in business with him? Despite this report? 200 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.200 Yeah, I'm not really considering that that report at all. 201 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.759 I mean, I agree with Ferrell that it's you know 202 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.120 what two three days into camp and you know, you 203 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.000 got to give them time to have, you know, get 204 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.759 some chemistry and with uh, you know wide receivers, you know, 205 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.519 switching teams. I mean, I guess there is you know, 206 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.519 you do have some risk there with you know, an 207 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:09.440 older wide receiver going to another team, so maybe you 208 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.600 got to monitor that a little bit. But yeah, three 209 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.840 days into camp, like, what what are we really doing here? 210 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:16.919 You know, you gotta give them, let's let's give them 211 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.159 at least a week or two and then uh then 212 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:19.799 check back in. 213 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.759 I think that's it's important. I just drafted. 214 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:25.360 Uh A J. 215 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.639 Brown at the two oh three in a kf FSC 216 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.200 main event UH slow draft that I'm in, and I 217 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.759 was pretty happy about it. This is like my Craig. 218 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.200 I don't know if you do this or not. I 219 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.000 know you draft, you draft way more than I do. 220 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.480 But I will say this, this was like my collection 221 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:41.840 draft where it's like I'm drafting all these players I 222 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.440 wish I had more of and and they're just all 223 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:47.279 finding their way into my rock like gent A J. 224 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.200 Brown ed Buka. Believe it or not, it's this is 225 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.440 my literally like including dynasties. This is the only team 226 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.759 I have eg Bukan, which I'm very excited about at 227 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.519 Gien is another one h that that I didn't have 228 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.080 anywhere and now I have him here. Do you find 229 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:06.039 yourself doing that in FFPC, KFFSC, Craig, where it's like, God, 230 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.440 I wish I had more of this guy and just 231 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:10.279 go out, not that you overdraft him, but you break 232 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.639 ties maybe in favor of the player that you wish 233 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:13.360 you had more of. 234 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.440 Yeah, I'm definitely looking at like who's fall. I guess 235 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.679 looking at the ADPs, who's falling and kind of yeah, 236 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:23.399 if I if I don't have a guy, want to 237 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.720 just stick him on there just to say, like, you know, 238 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.440 have some some exposure. Agbuko who you mentioned there is 239 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.120 a guy that I don't have, like any of I think, yeah, 240 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.639 just because he's going like what third round now, which 241 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.679 I feel is a little bit high, but you know, 242 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.720 you get him slipping into the fourth round and it's 243 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.320 just like okay, you know that's that's a that's fun 244 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:43.240 to do sometimes. 245 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.559 So I just I'm of the opinion and like we 246 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.320 have to talk about Mayfield because we do it on 247 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.759 very gd podcast that we do. I just think this 248 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.039 Tampa Bay offense is going to rebound this year and 249 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.159 the price is now great. Point about Egbuka, He's the 250 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.480 most expensive buccaneer for sure, But I mean Godwin's value 251 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.120 is depressed, Bucky Irvings values depressed, Baker Mayfields is depressed. 252 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.039 Like I just think people are remembering the disaster of 253 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.759 a season that was last year. The offensive line was decimated, 254 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.679 Craig Mayfield was hurt, and Guka was hurt. Bucky Irvings 255 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.720 like all these guys were hurt, Godwin Evans, everybody missed 256 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.759 significant time last year, and I just think even like 257 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:26.519 a marginal return to health this year could mean huge 258 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.240 things for that Tampa offense, and especially in that division 259 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:29.919 they play in too. 260 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.840 Yeah, I was just gonna say the division also, just 261 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.519 those games, like there's no tough opponents that they're going 262 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.720 to have within the division at least, and you're gonna 263 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:40.759 see a lot of shootouts, and yeah, I just think 264 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.200 it's probably a lot of recency bias on just last year, 265 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.600 not looking at the longer, the longer picture of what 266 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:48.240 that team is. 267 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:54.200 The first email, Farrell that we have tonight, I'm gonna 268 00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:00.480 pitch to you. It comes from Trent in Sepulpa, Oklahoma, 269 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.840 which I think you had a former girlfriend from Sepulpa, 270 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.440 Oklahoma back in the I remember correctly. He writes, seems 271 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.960 like Mackay Lemon is moving up draft boards right now. 272 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.759 Is this the time to grab him? Do you see 273 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:20.000 him ascending once people see him practicing more? Thank you 274 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:25.320 Trent in Sepulpa, Oklahoma. The the the Lemon thing is 275 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:31.759 interesting because we had seen him like, Okay, so he 276 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.720 was the third out of the big three receivers that 277 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.279 got drafted right as far as rookies go this year, 278 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.600 and then we knew he was missing time because the hamstring. 279 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.440 There's also was concerns about what he does really well 280 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.080 is not necessarily where Jalen Hurts likes to throw the 281 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.279 football on the you know, at that spot on the 282 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.240 field over the middle and let Lemon collect that that 283 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:55.720 yak yardage. But I'm of the opinion that anytime you 284 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:59.960 have a rookie who stands a decent shot of having 285 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.639 playing a big role, or not even a big role, 286 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:06.879 but a significant role in his team's offense his rookie year, 287 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:10.120 that player has the opportunity to move up quite a 288 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.279 bit in high stakes drafts, dependent upon like the littlest 289 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.120 tiniest information, right because we don't have we don't have 290 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.679 a dossier on him. We just know what he did 291 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.120 in college. We don't know what kind of pro he's 292 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.679 gonna be. Parrell, right now, in the Big Gorilla Tournament, 293 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.679 we are looking at an adp of Makay Lemon sitting 294 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:32.000 at wide receiver forty one at the eighth eight. Still 295 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:34.320 buying at that price or is it steaming up a 296 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.159 little bit for you? Where you're a little uncomfortable at 297 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:37.840 that range. 298 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.039 Oh no, I'm very comfortable with that range, and I 299 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.399 would buy higher on it. You know, Scott Connor came 300 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.879 in the other night, and Scott Connor is a great 301 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.120 quant guy. He talks but he knows football, but he 302 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.240 also knows numbers. He likes to talk about numbers. He 303 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.399 said sixty five was the number of the wide receivers 304 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.519 that would make contributions in the PROS Versus shows, and 305 00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:59.639 then he said some other things about numbers and then 306 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.559 start paying attention to something else until he quit talking. 307 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:09.200 But then we got back to talking about what kind 308 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.360 of players fit in that and when you okay, when 309 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.080 you look at Lemon of forty one, we sure we 310 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.679 have a scene play. We don't know how he's going 311 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.559 to be in a pro game, or do we? This 312 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.039 guy is a pros pro. He comes in with the 313 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.080 work ethic beause you know, the the other players, they'll 314 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.799 all to a man say that's my dog, you know, 315 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:31.080 and this is unusual for a young player. It's it's 316 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.639 the X factor. It's why when we go to the 317 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.960 Combine that they have hours and hours of interviews with players, 318 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.200 and this team got it right. They picked a player 319 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.559 that will bring maturity to the field, skill set to 320 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:44.120 the field. 321 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:45.279 There will be a. 322 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.000 Defined row and a role that will grow and he 323 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.600 will expand his influence as we go through the season. 324 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.080 I see a very very rosy situation for makay Lemon. 325 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.799 Those people that drafted in Dynasty, you know, they're in 326 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:03.279 for a decade of happiness with mckaylin. 327 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.319 I'm adding that to my team name list. A decade 328 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.440 of happiness. Yeah, that's fantastic, Craig. We for redraft purposes, 329 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.119 we don't necessarily need a decade of happiness. We just 330 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:18.519 need a few months of happiness. Do you foresee happiness 331 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.640 for those people investing mid eighth round picks in McKayle 332 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.359 Lemon right now? 333 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:24.960 Yeah? 334 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.559 I hope so, because I'm very well invested as well. 335 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:31.160 So yeah, I mean I just think that you know, 336 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.160 in these tournaments that we play in where you know, 337 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:36.039 all the money is kind of at the end of 338 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.640 the season, that's really when you want to have those 339 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.319 guys taken off. And you know, I remember my I 340 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:46.880 don't want recalling my twenty twenty four KFFC made an 341 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.119 event championship. I think I had Brian Thomas on there, 342 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.200 who is you know a rookie who was going a 343 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.039 little bit earlier but not much late, much earlier and 344 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:57.960 kind of in the sixth or seventh round. I really 345 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:02.319 think using those picks on you know, a rookie or 346 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.680 two that you think are is going to break out 347 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:07.559 at the end of the season can really put your 348 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.279 team over the top. And I think Lemon could be 349 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:13.079 that guy and that you know the Eagles you know, 350 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:15.119 draft him in the first round. They obviously have a 351 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.880 plan for him. And I also want to just mention 352 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.559 the offensive coordinators change there. We have a you know, 353 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.240 new oc there. I think every people are similar to 354 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.960 the Bucks as your measured earlier peeple are just kind 355 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.599 of a little bit down on the Eagles right now, 356 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.680 but I think that could could flip going into next season. 357 00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:37.880 I want to get into the Eagles stuff in a 358 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.200 little bit here. I should mention too. At the main 359 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.920 event Craig's referring to is the KFFSC Main Event where 360 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.319 he won it in twenty twenty four. You can win 361 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:47.920 the f FPC Main Event in twenty twenty six a 362 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.640 million dollar grand prize. Remember, after you get that first 363 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.359 team under your belt. You saved six hundred bucks off 364 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.200 of your traditional team. Craig Campbell has won four f 365 00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.119 FPC Main Event leagues in his career, maybe tallying more 366 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:01.480 this year's well as a million dollar grand prize. It's 367 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:03.880 a possibility for him, it's a possibility for you. My 368 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.079 FFPC dot com is where to go for the FFPC 369 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.920 main event. The Eagles thing is interesting, Craig, because I 370 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.079 have been getting Jalen Hurts pretty much whenever I want 371 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:17.240 in drafts DeVonta Smith before the AJ Brown trade, I 372 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.400 was drafting him, you know, based on it was going 373 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.400 to be the number one receiver on that team. Saquon Barkley. 374 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.160 Farrell and I have had several conversations on this show 375 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:28.319 over the course of the last month or so that 376 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:32.039 if you're getting Barkley in the late second, the mid second, 377 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.240 even to the point where he's creeping up to that 378 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:38.160 early second, you're doing things right. Buying the dip on 379 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.960 the Eagles I think is smart. Right now. Yeah, we 380 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.079 don't know what Sean Manion is going to be as 381 00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:45.559 the new OC. He was a quarterbacks coach for the 382 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.759 Packers in twenty twenty five. He was a special assistant 383 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:51.119 to the Packers in twenty twenty four, and he was 384 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.480 a player on the Seahawks in twenty twenty three. Like, 385 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.000 there's not a big track record for this guy and 386 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.079 what we think he's going to do in the pros. However, 387 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.200 the bar that Kevin Pittu has set up in Philadelphia 388 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:04.039 that he left on his way out, it is an 389 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.359 extraordinarily low bar to jump over. So even a marginal 390 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.759 return to greatness that we saw in twenty twenty four 391 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.240 from Philly is going to go a long way. I'm 392 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:16.119 buying the dip on a lot of Eagles. You said, 393 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.839 Makayle Lemon, any other Eagles that you've been drafting this year. 394 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:23.200 You mentioned Hurts there. 395 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:25.599 I mean, I think he's a great value in the 396 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.519 seventh round. I mean again, I think people are just 397 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:35.200 having recency bias from from last year. And you think 398 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.319 about the Eagles, they've kind of swung up and down 399 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.039 every other year. They you know, before they won the 400 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:43.359 Super Bowl obviously in what twenty four the year before that, 401 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.519
