Mostly defense work. Yeah, 156 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.680 mostly defense work. But people hire me when they've been sued. 157 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.000 They hire me when they're in their darkest hour, and 158 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.680 I help them navigate those challenges. 159 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.480 Much like picking up an orphan dynasty team, right, that 160 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.199 would be it could be in its darkest hour and 161 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.680 then you basically rescue it from the recesses of ambiguity, 162 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.759 of of of of of you know, like the worst 163 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.040 possible spot that these orphan teams could be in, you 164 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.839 are rescuing them. So it makes it makes a lot 165 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.920 of sense. How many years have you been doing this now, Adam? 166 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:22.000 An attorney? 167 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:22.639 Yeah? 168 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.240 I think I will be twenty years in the fall. 169 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.839 Good for you?

Tonight, Big 173 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:34.480 Lions fan. 174 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.840 Huge Lions fan, lifelong Lions fan. 175 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.200 What do you make of just, well, well, we'll break 176 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.519 it in right now. I don't know if we have 177 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:42.279 any Lions stuff. Well we do with some Lion stuff 178 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.159 on the rundown, but we'll get to the specifics on that. 179 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.679 What do you make of the Lions schedule this year? 180 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.919 Knowing that I have a I have a terrestrial radio show, 181 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.720 a local radio show here in northeast Wisconsin, and one 182 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.360 of my listeners to that is a diehard Lions fan 183 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.559 and he's been telling me, and I can't really disagree 184 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.200 with him, the Lions probably have the toughest schedule, not 185 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.399 only in the NFC North but in the entire NFL. 186 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.759 They had that first place schedule and obviously going up 187 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.360 against the Bears, Vikings, and Packers twice a year, that's 188 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.480 no easy task. What do you make of the Lines 189 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.799 not only having the toughest schedule in the NFL but 190 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.879 breaking in not one but two new coordinators this year 191 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.960 under Dan Campbell? Is this like kind of like, hey, listen, 192 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.279 they're good enough to navigate this or do you have 193 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.480 a little bit of pause when you think about how 194 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:26.960 good Detroit could be this year? 195 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.480 Because this matters for fantasy too. 196 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.440 Yeah, I wouldn't say that I have any pause. I mean, 197 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.440 I'm actually really excited about the new coordinators. You know, 198 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.759 they've been grooming Shepherd for a long time. I've read 199 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.440 a lot of interviews that Campbell's given, and they were 200 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:44.720 really intentional about selecting him and keeping him involved last season. 201 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.240 And John Morton's been around. I mean, he was here. 202 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.399 You know, there's that vignette from Hard Knocks a couple 203 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.440 of years back where they were talking about what do 204 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.120 we do with Craig Reynolds and Morton said, you don't 205 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.600 cut him. He's everything we stand for, right. I mean, 206 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.440 so these are familiar faces, and I assume it's going 207 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:06.639 to be a little bit different, but I'm bullish. 208 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.240 Do you Well, Okay, let's let's let's let's get into 209 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:12.159 the actual fantasy aspect here. So Number one, I want 210 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.200 to I want to kick things off with Derrick Henry King. 211 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.399 Henry will Will open things up tonight, a guy that 212 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.559 we talked about I think we talked about with him 213 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:24.360 with Farrell last week because he signed that two year extension. Uh, 214 00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:27.200 in anytime you have a thirty plus year old running 215 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.360 back sign anything extension. My Spidey sense perks up because 216 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.440 I'm like, really, we're doing this okay. And then the 217 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.240 other thing we have to look at here too, Adam 218 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.240 is Derick Henry. If we look at the FFPC Big 219 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.639 Gorilla ADP right now, which is courtesy Fantasymojo dot Com 220 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.559 Darren Armani, who is my guest on the FFPC Insider 221 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.879 Access on the Better Sports Network last night. Anytime we 222 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.000 cite ADP on this show, it's courtesy of him. We 223 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.919 can answer this question from a dynasty standpoint. We can 224 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.279 also answer this question from a redraft standpoint. Dereck Henry 225 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.200 is running back six dude two oh three right now 226 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.840 in the FFPC Big Gorilla Tournament over the last seven days. 227 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.200 I know you have some shares in dynasty of him. 228 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.840 Can you tell me what type of season you think 229 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.720 he's going to have this year and also what you're 230 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.000 doing with those shares that you have him in FFPC 231 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.879 dynasty leagues. 232 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.639 I'm holding every share I've got of Derrick Henry and 233 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.320 I will ride him until the wheels fall off. I 234 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.159 think he's going to be just as good this year 235 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.279 as he was last year. His role in the offense 236 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.879 isn't going to change. I understand he's a year older, 237 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.759 but he's a guy who hasn't shown any signs of 238 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.919 dropping off. I mean, he had a run that was 239 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.120 twenty one miles an hour last season, So I mean 240 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.360 he is who he's always been and he's a great player. 241 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.080 And the way I look at him, Eric is he 242 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.799 is one of the proven three hundred point players in 243 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.120 my lineup. To me, three hundred point players are the 244 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:51.799 gold standard, whether they be receivers, running backs, tight ends. 245 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.039 And so I'm holding and I'm just as bullish on 246 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.879 him this year as I was last year in the 247 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.399 year before. 248 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.360 Talk about those three hundred point players, like when you 249 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:06.039 are managing your dynasty rosters in the FFPC, it is 250 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.480 every move you make, your your sort of your goal 251 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:09.120 the end goal. 252 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.240 I think about. Here's the way I'll explain this, Sam Presty, 253 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:13.600 this is. 254 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.039 I know this is NBA and a lot of people 255 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.360 are tuning out right now when I start talking basketball, 256 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.399 but say, I think it was Sam Presty for the 257 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.679 Oklahoma City Thunder several years ago when he was the 258 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:22.000 GM there. 259 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.399 I don't think he's the GM there anymore, but he. 260 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.480 Made all these trades. It might have been Darryl Mory 261 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.879 actually in Houston. That's that's what I want to talk about. 262 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.320 He made all these incremental trades where he got basically 263 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.519 five percent better with every single trade. So it took 264 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.600 a long while to get there, right, But if you 265 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:43.000 do enough of these in FFPC dynasty, you can actually 266 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.919 achieve What's what's the I think it's the red paper 267 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:47.720 clip that was a big thing in the United Kingdom 268 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.960 where this dude had a red paper clip and he 269 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:51.759 ended up making like a series of like eight or 270 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.919 nine trades and he turned it into like a house 271 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.480 in London or something like that because he got incrementally 272 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.840 a little bit better every single time. And I I 273 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.240 think that's the question I'm kind of posing you to here. 274 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.080 Is this the way you're handling your dynasty rosters. Are 275 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:07.000 you just trying to like. 276 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.279 Not win every deal, but just get a little bit 277 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.399 better every single time so you know that whatever deal 278 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.440 you're making is maybe not going to put you over 279 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:17.679 the edge. But if you make a series of these 280 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.080 and continually getting better, then all of a sudden you 281 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.399 fall into these three hundred point scores. 282 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:25.600 Like you said, yeah for sure, I mean There's two 283 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.240 things I think about whenever I'm thinking about a dynasty trade. 284 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.960 One is am I consolidating value? What's the value proposition 285 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.200 of the deal. But I think, first and foremost, I 286 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.759 look at my starting lineup the front line, and I think, 287 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.039 am I any better? Does this trade make me better? 288 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.679 You know? I mean depth is important. You always want 289 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.120 to have depth on your roster. But as many three 290 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.679 hundred point players as I can get I'm looking for. 291 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.000 And when I enter a rookie draft and I look 292 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.480 at folks, I mean, my number one consideration is I 293 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.519 don't follow a lot of college football. I don't really 294 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.960 have time. I never miss an NFL game, but I've 295 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.240 got three kids, I've got a busy law practice, so 296 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.600 I don't really tune into college football. But when I 297 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.480 do my scouting after the season, I number one try 298 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.559 to decide who are these players? What's their bundle of skills? 299 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.919 And then I wait for landing spot and I say, 300 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:14.320 is that spot going to unlock those skills? But I 301 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.559 always sort them mentally into buckets. Are they a three 302 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.120 hundred point player at their highest peak? Are they a 303 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.200 two hundred and fifty point player? Are they a two 304 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.000 hundred point player, you know, and I want as many 305 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.440 three hundred point players as I can, and landing spot's 306 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:28.000 a big part of. 307 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:31.440 That, do you I mean, listen, you can never have 308 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.000 enough three hundred point scores obviously in Dynasty. Do you 309 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.759 feel like there's a sweet spot, like once I hit okay, 310 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.440 once I have four, and now I'm happy and like, 311 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.200 and now this team can compete. Now that I have two, 312 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.519 I feel like I'm in competition. Do you ever think 313 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:48.399 about it in those terms? 314 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:49.039 Excuse me? 315 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.759 In those terms are Dynasty, where like, once you achieve 316 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.519 a certain level as far as how many of them 317 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.480 you have, you feel like, Okay, now I'm in competition 318 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.559 mode rather than reload mode. 319 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.200 Yeah, I think so. I mean, to me, the magic 320 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.360 numbers probably three. If I've got three people who are 321 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.919 conceivably three hundred point players on my team, I feel comfortable. 322 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.000 I want, you know, in a perfect world, your starting 323 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.399 wide receivers and running backs or three hundred point players 324 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.519 or two hundred and fifty plus. I mean, there's like 325 00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:23.840 the gray area. But yeah, I think that's right. I 326 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.519 think you're muted. 327 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.000 Yeah, you're right, I'm sorry, right, thank you so much. 328 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:32.840 Let's talk about the Steelers. This is not the last 329 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.960 time we'll talk about the Steelers tonight. Yeah, George Pickens 330 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.159 is now a Dallas cowboy, my friend. 331 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:39.879 When when you look at. 332 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:44.440 The the the opening for the second wide receiver, and 333 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:46.200 I want to say second pass catcher because I think 334 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.159 that's Pat Fyromo, but the second wide receiver in Pittsburgh 335 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.960 right now. We can talk dynasteirre redraft here and answer 336 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:55.960 these questions however you see fit. But Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin, 337 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.480 those are the best possible options here for you in 338 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.559 Pittsburgh right now for fantasy. I know there was talk 339 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.360 about potentially the Steelers talking to the Saints about acquiring 340 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:10.080 Chris Olave. I don't think those conversations went very far. 341 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.759 But knowing that how it stands right now, and also 342 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.919 knowing that they could bring in somebody, they still could 343 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:18.639 trade for somebody. 344 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.799 I don't know if that's going to happen. 345 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.440 They could sign a guy like Keenan Allen that that's 346 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.399 a possibility as well. But knowing for anybody who's drafting 347 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:31.159 right now today, May twenty third, Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin, 348 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.039 do you have a strong feeling here, of which is 349 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.600 the correct Pittsburgh Steeler wide receiver to draft opposite DK Metcalf. 350 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.480 I mean, it's a tough question because Austin's a veteran 351 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.919 and I remember listening to a Steelers beat writer a 352 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:44.879 couple of weeks ago while they still had pickens, and 353 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.240 he said, Austin is unquestionably the number three pass catcher. 354 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.200 The coaching staff trusts him, and he's a veteran. And 355 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.240 Wilson missed just about every single minute of last season 356 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.200 due to injury. That being said, I love Roman Wilson. 357 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:00.639 I think he's an explosive player. I think he ran 358 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.679 like a four to three nine. I think he plays 359 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.279 faster than that. He's a slot receiver, but he can 360 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.640 win vertically. He's a guy who I mean, And I'm 361 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.119 not a Michigan guy. I'm a State grad. But I've 362 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.680 watched some Roman Wilson in his college years and I 363 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.240 think he's tough. And I would bet on Wilson if 364 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:16.960 I had to. I've got shares. 365 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.440 You've got shares exactly now. Since you're a State guy, 366 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:22.359 I'll bring this up. I don't think it's on the rundown. 367 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.359 What are your thoughts on Jaden Reid knowing that he 368 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.039 kind of was the Packers the facto number one wide 369 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.160 receiver after they drafted Sabian Williams and Matthew Golden this year, 370 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.480 Jayden Reid had to sit down with the Packers GM 371 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.680 Brian Gudukunz and Ghuda Kunz assured him that what they 372 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:40.599 did in the draft does not affect his standing as 373 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.880 the number one wide receiver on the team, which I 374 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.799 think is interesting because the number one wide receiver on 375 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:47.960 the Packers is a lot different than the number one 376 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.160 wide receiver and a lot of other teams. What are 377 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:53.839 your feelings about Jaden Reid in Dynasty and re draft 378 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.359 right now? Knowing what the Packers did what they did 379 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.519 in the NFL Draft. 380 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.960 I like Jayden Reid a lot. I think he'll have 381 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:02.920 a good year. I'm hoping he has a good year. 382 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.039 You know, they ran a lot of pressman coverage the 383 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:08.680 second half of last season against the Packers, and he's 384 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.039 I don't want to call him a gadget guy, but 385 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.480 he's at his best when you scheme him. Touches find 386 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.079 ways to scheme him open, and so I think adding 387 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:18.400 Golden's actually going to help him. I think Golden adds 388 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.599 this vertical threat. I think Golden way of thinking about 389 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.480 it to me, Eric is he should end up being 390 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.640 what they wanted Christian Watson to be in their offense Watson. 391 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.200 I love Watson too, but he just he can't stay healthy. 392 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.440 So you know, Golden adds that vertical element. And I 393 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.319 think hopefully they can scheme Jane Reid open a bunch 394 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:38.799 and design stuff for him. 395 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.279 And that's sort of what they did when he was 396 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.880 crushing it, right, That's what they were doing, and then 397 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.039 for whatever reason, they just went away from it the 398 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:49.519 second half of twenty twenty four, which I still don't understand. 399 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:53.839 And obviously with the Williams and Golden thing, maybe, from 400 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.400 what you're telling me here tonight, Adam, maybe the Williams 401 00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.920
