50
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 1>off tonight, I want to let everybody know that the

51
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>FFPC Big Gorilla is filling up right now. Three hundred

52
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 1>and fifty dollars entry fee, a million dollars grand prize.

53
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>The seven Bananas Promotion is going on right now. Every

54
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 1>time you get a consecutive seven pick in that FFPC

<v Speaker 1>Big Gorilla format, you are winning free FFPC teams. They

56
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.560

57
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>ball team, Bestball Tournament team, and they go all the

58
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>way up to a Jungle Safari for four fifty thousand

59
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>dollars worth if you get that seven pick five times

60
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 1>in a row. We almost had it last season. We're

61
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 1>one team away from making it happen, but maybe we

62
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>can make it happen this season. The Early Rampage Tournament

63
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>is going on right now. If you're one of the

64
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>first two hundred leagues that are signed up for the

65
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Big Gorilla, you're automatically entered into that Early Rampage tournament,

66
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 1>and that is going to feature a twenty five thousand

67
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 1>dollars grand prize. So you're basically getting two tournaments for

68
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 1>the price of one entry fee, eligible for two grand prizes.

69
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>If you always wanted to play fantasy football at the

70
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>high sakes level but the entry fees were just too

71
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>big or whatever, we have the Baby Guerrilla this year.

72
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.759

77
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.240

79
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 1>three hundred thousand last year. We added another one hundred

80
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>grand on top of the grand Prize this year, and

<v Speaker 1>of fun drafting in that right now, please welcome on

110
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 1>to the program, mister Farrell Elliott Ferrel, Good Wednesday evening

111
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to you, Falky.

112
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 3>Good evening to you, sir.

113
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 1>How are you. I'm doing well. It's a busy week,

114
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 1>but busy is always good. Excited to chop it up

115
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 1>with you tonight. Hope to fall out from the NFL

116
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 1>Draft for you. This is a you know, I know,

117
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody's kind of down on the class from a dynasty standpoint,

118
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>but once again and an exciting pre, during, and post

119
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>draft sort of like results happening not only with the

120
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>NFL but for fantasy purposes as well. Yeah, you know

121
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 1>it is what it is.

122
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 3>These players are going to show up and get a chance,

123
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.040
<v Speaker 3>and they're perhaps more diamonds in the rough. I'm beginning

124
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 3>to understand what some of the teams did from an

125
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 3>overall perspective, could really give us some clues in how

126
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 3>to draft available players in the Dynasty and what to

127
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 3>expect as we move closer into the preseason.

128
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>And I've had some rises is. I've been drafting my

129
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Dynasty teams and.

130
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Uh, you know, a couple of them I wish I

131
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 3>could start overs, Bulkie.

132
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you I've one.

133
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Of some of the things. I thought, well, we'll stand

134
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.199
<v Speaker 3>strong and I'll stand by them. But there's other players

135
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 3>that I don't quite that. I don't quite think I

136
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 3>gave the proper consideration too.

137
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to get into that. We'll get into that

138
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 1>not only tonight, but we will also got into uh

139
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the Extra Extra Reps show on Friday. We'll get into

140
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>that as well, with some rookies and so on and

141
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>so forth. I want to kick things off tonight, Pharah

142
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>with you to talk about something you brought to my attention.

143
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I have a few teams I want to discuss here,

144
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>but I think we'll lead off with Washington just because

145
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 1>the free agency portion of the season is done, and

146
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 1>and I want to say like the first like three

147
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>or four waves. There's there's several ways that are going

148
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.759
<v Speaker 1>to go on as we get closer and closer to

149
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the start of the NFL season, But the first few

150
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>waves of free agency has done. The NFL Draft is

151
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.759
<v Speaker 1>obviously done, the race to sign all these undrafted free

152
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 1>agents is done, and yet some of these teams still

153
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 1>have holes on them as far as what we care

154
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>about for fantasy football. You brought up Washington. I think

155
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>that's an excellent team because Farrell. I think that is

156
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.319
<v Speaker 1>the only team out of the thirty two teams in

157
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.279
<v Speaker 1>the league that have holes not only at wide receiver,

158
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>but running back as well. We'll talk with JL both

159
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 1>Jayden Daniels this week on the Family of Podcasts. But

160
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I have to ask you here too. Washington cannot be

161
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>done right. I mean, they're going to add another receiver, right,

162
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>are they going to add another running back? I don't

163
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>know what's your vision of what's going on with Washington

164
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 1>and how do we handle players like Terry McLaurin. Antonio Williams,

165
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Rashad White, K Tron Allen. Right now, all guys on

166
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the Commanders, but still all guys that can have their

167
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.840
<v Speaker 1>roles change fairly quickly in this offseason.

168
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 3>If you're a guy who loves to draft the guy,

169
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.120
<v Speaker 3>then Terry McLaurin is your guy this year, you know.

170
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 3>And when you look at that wide receiver room, it's

171
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 3>loaded with a lot of names that fantasy players have

172
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.120
<v Speaker 3>drafted over the years and got very very little back from.

173
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 3>And you know, it's hard to get a fantasy player

174
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.120
<v Speaker 3>excited about some of these guys. They're good football players,

175
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.120
<v Speaker 3>but as a group that they're lacking somewhat. And that

176
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 3>lets me think. And this is one of those rookies

177
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.480
<v Speaker 3>that I was talking about in one of my dynasty drafts.

178
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Antonio Williams from Clemson goes in. He was the ninth

179
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.080
<v Speaker 3>wide receiver off the board. He went behind both Cleveland

180
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Brown wide receivers in one of the dicety drafts. And

181
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 3>I assume that he's doing that through most of the drafts.

182
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 3>And I could have picked him in the second round

183
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 3>and I didn't. And when I look at it closer, man,

184
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 3>I wish I did. Here's a guy that's touchdowns in

185
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 3>the last two at twenty one touchdown in his career,

186
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 3>fifteen of them in the last two years. He ran

187
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 3>a fantastic speed at the combine. He's not necessarily a

188
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.720
<v Speaker 3>little receiver. He's got some size to it. I see

189
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 3>him as an excellent slot receiver there in Washington now.

190
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 3>And then when you go to the backfield, Bulkie our

191
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:30.759
<v Speaker 3>guests last week, Jake the Lake, Jake was wonderful in

192
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 3>his breakdown of Crossky Merritt. And I'm a big believer.

193
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 1>In cross Key Merrit. Bill Merritt is my guy.

194
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 3>But you take a look at this and it's a

195
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 3>three headed committee in that situation right now, and I

196
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 3>don't know where a running back would come that would

197
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, is going to make any difference in that mix?

198
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:51.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

199
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 3>Sure, this is the forty nine ers front office. There's

200
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 3>two x forty nine er receivers floating around and you

201
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 3>would think maybe one of them would be a landing

202
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 3>spot there. And if that's the case, I would feel

203
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 3>very very well. I feel very very positive about this

204
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.399
<v Speaker 3>receiver corps. But it still doesn't change the fact that

205
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 3>I think Williams could be one of.

206
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>The big rookie performers at wide receiver, I mean on

207
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Williams this year. My question for a lot of these receivers,

208
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 1>and we'll get into this as it goes on, not

209
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.679
<v Speaker 1>only this week, Girl, but several weeks going forward. How

210
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 1>we treat this year's rookery class a wide receiver when

211
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 1>we know next year's rookie class is really really good.

212
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.399
<v Speaker 1>Extrapolate that, I guess to talk about running backs for sure.

213
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Tight ends. I don't know the tight end class next year.

214
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I know it's good. I don't know if it's that

215
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.039
<v Speaker 1>much better than this year, but certainly, like we're very

216
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.679
<v Speaker 1>excited about these players now, how excited will we be

217
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>next year? Maybe perhaps none more personifies that than the

218
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>rookie receiver who could be the number two wide out

219
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta this year, Riah Branch State in the State

220
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 1>of Georgia. He goes to from being a bulldog to

221
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>a falcon and quite frankly opposite Drake London. There's a

222
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of opportunity there. I have been, and I think

223
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.039
<v Speaker 1>I've been pretty explicit about it on this show that

224
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a believer in Zachariah Branch. I'm still open

225
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.120
<v Speaker 1>to the idea of drafting him in dynasty rookie drafts

226
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.799
<v Speaker 1>because Fomo aspect, like, you know, if this guy does hit,

227
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I still want to have him on you know, one

228
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>or two of my teams. But I look at Atlanta Ferrell,

229
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:33.320
<v Speaker 1>are they done? I mean, are they comfortable having the

230
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.799
<v Speaker 1>John Robinson in that backfield as their leading pass catcher,

231
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Drake London on the perimeter as their top wide receiver,

232
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Pitts as their number one tight end. Is there

233
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:46.159
<v Speaker 1>room for them to add another wide out, another pass

234
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.759
<v Speaker 1>catcher that perhaps takes the pressure of off of Zachariab

235
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Branch and Branch becomes more of a gadget guy at

236
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.279
<v Speaker 1>least in twenty twenty six, and that there is another

237
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.440
<v Speaker 1>guy who could step in and play the moonie role

238
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>that was decent on this team until he got hurt.

239
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.639
<v Speaker 1>What do you make of Atlanta's wide receiver specific situation

240
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.159
<v Speaker 1>right now?

241
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't think you're wrong about Branch, but I

242
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 3>think we're going to see a new Falcon look in

243
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:16.399
<v Speaker 3>a new scheme, and I think Branch fits it. So

244
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:21.799
<v Speaker 3>I think that as we imagine the Falcons in previous years,

245
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Branch wouldn't be There's something about him you don't like

246
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:28.000
<v Speaker 3>and it's kind of led me. I've kind of followed

247
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 3>you down that road. What are some of the things

248
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 3>that you just don't really like about You think he's

249
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 3>too small?

250
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean well, I mean the size is an issue

251
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>for me, but a bigger issue for me as you

252
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>look at what he did or what he didn't do

253
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:47.320
<v Speaker 1>in college, he could not This is a guy that

254
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>when he was back in at USC was playing behind

255
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 1>these guys and he had a transfer to become meaningful

256
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.759
<v Speaker 1>on the college. On the collegiate level, and what in Georgia, well,

257
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a majority as passes were caught behind the line of scrimmage.

258
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>He had a serious a dot where he wasn't earning targets.

259
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 1>They were just scheming him up. And yeah, I know,

260
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the speed and the route running to me is a

261
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 1>problem too. I think he's got a ways to go

262
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>on that. This is all to say, I don't disbelieve.

263
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not an unbeliever in Zechariah Branch as far as

264
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>what he's going to be at the next level, but

265
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.279
<v Speaker 1>I am severely concerned that this dude is going to

266
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:27.919
<v Speaker 1>hit the ground running, that he is going to be

267
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:31.399
<v Speaker 1>impactful in twenty twenty six. So if you are investing

268
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>in a rookie draft in Zechariah Branch, maybe it turns out.

269
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think it turns out in twenty twenty

270
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>eighty six, and maybe not in twenty twenty seven as well.

271
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I just foresee a long learning curve and the profile

272
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that we have of this type of player. It's not

273
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:49.519
<v Speaker 1>exactly been ripe with hits in the NFL. Now. I

274
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:53.200
<v Speaker 1>think FFPC players are pretty shrewd and they understand this,

275
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and they have been letting him slip down rookie drafts.

276
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll bring up the mojo on him shortly, Farrell. So

277
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:01.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not all way out on Branch. I'm just finding

278
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>better ways to spend second round and third round draft

279
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 1>capital h than than than a player like this and

280
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.679
<v Speaker 1>rookie drafts. But I mean, I mean, what's your thoughts

281
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:14.279
<v Speaker 1>on Branch. I'm down on him, maybe wrongfully down on it.

282
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know they're gonna let him handle the return game.

283
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker 3>So that's a sign right there. You know that that

284
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 3>that's a sign right there that team may not be

285
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.159
<v Speaker 3>he may not play that many downs, but you know

286
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.240
<v Speaker 3>that perhaps is their new scheme to get this player

287
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.720
<v Speaker 3>the ball not far from or behind the go line,

288
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:36.919
<v Speaker 3>and see what he can the line of scrimmage and

289
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 3>see what he can get done with it. You know,

290
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 3>we're talking about a team now. I think Ola Mede

291
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:46.240
<v Speaker 3>is a Kia says he's still on this roster. I

292
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.440
<v Speaker 3>believe that would spell that would spell the situation. But

293
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm anxious for you to give Darren's mojo

294
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:02.320
<v Speaker 3>on this player because I think at some point he

295
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.039
<v Speaker 3>begins to become a value. I agree with you, he

296
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:08.639
<v Speaker 3>doesn't belong in this group of top receivers, even with

297
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 3>his sec heritage. But I think once you give into

298
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.039
<v Speaker 3>that third and fourth round, you're in good shape to

299
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.679
<v Speaker 3>take a shot at this player, especially when we consider

300
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:25.200
<v Speaker 3>that if you look at their depth chart, Johan Dotson

301
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.960
<v Speaker 3>is on the other side of London right now.

302
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And and by the way, I totally forgot about

303
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 1>this is this is me a culpa here. I totally

304
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>forgot about Johan Dotson on that team. So there is

305
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.919
<v Speaker 1>something that we said to that, Zechariah Branch. I'll bring

306
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 1>this up right now, Farrell. And if you are having

307
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>an f f PC account, you probably should have an

308
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.679
<v Speaker 1>account with Fantasymojo dot Com as well f fp U

309
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Fantasymojo dot com at Fantasy Mojo on the X, Aaron

310
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:00.679
<v Speaker 1>Armani is the godfather of the pro there's a Joe's

311
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>contest at the time. We cite ADP on this on

312
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>these broadcasts on the streams with the FFPC, it's all

313
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>due to Darren Armani. So if we look at rookie

314
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 1>drafts right now, according to Fantasy mojo Zechariah Branch currently

315
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:24.599
<v Speaker 1>sits as a mid to late third round pick. He's

316
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.200
<v Speaker 1>sitting at three to oh eight. He has gone as

317
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:31.119
<v Speaker 1>high as the one to oh seven. Got no, no, no, Branch,

318
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe in that at that point. But you're

319
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.839
<v Speaker 1>looking at him at the three eight on average, he's

320
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.279
<v Speaker 1>gone as late as the six ozho three uh. For

321
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.880
<v Speaker 1>context sake, Ferrell, he is going behind Chris Brazl and

322
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.079
<v Speaker 1>Ted Hurst. He's going right ahead of Malachi Fields and

323
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Elijah Surat. I do not have a problem with that

324
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.279
<v Speaker 1>with with Branch at that price in the mid third round.

325
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.119
<v Speaker 3>But we know we can talk about Melanchotte Fields another day,

326
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.079
<v Speaker 3>you know. As far as production, just taking a production

327
00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.319
<v Speaker 3>note for a moment, Booky, we're over here. We have

328
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.160
<v Speaker 3>FFBC used code YouTube twenty five or twenty five dollars off.

329
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.319
<v Speaker 3>That's kind of a generous thing for people that if

330
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:09.920
<v Speaker 3>we could put another box, well, Joe King's in that

331
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.000
<v Speaker 3>box too, but it says tis the scene if we

332
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 3>could just have Darren come in live on the show,

333
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:18.680
<v Speaker 3>because I've been watching a little UFL football and when

334
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.680
<v Speaker 3>there's you know, when there's a controversial flag, you know,

335
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:24.960
<v Speaker 3>they'll bring in the eye and the sky, so to speak.

336
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.160
<v Speaker 3>It'll be and we could have Darren just down there

337
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.519
<v Speaker 3>in a box, you know, when we want to have

338
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.799
<v Speaker 3>the report of what the mojo is. And because he's

339
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.960
<v Speaker 3>got it all memorized anyway, he wouldn't have to look

340
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 3>it up, and he just shouts it out to us

341
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 3>and we say thank you, Darren, And then you know

342
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.079
<v Speaker 3>he's always there in that little box.

343
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.279
<v Speaker 1>He is uh and and we will have to get

344
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:46.759
<v Speaker 1>him back. Darren has not been on this show. He

345
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:51.039
<v Speaker 1>usually moonlights during the processes Joe's challenge, Like he'll come

346
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.880
<v Speaker 1>on and we'll do like a quick ten minute interview

347
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.720
<v Speaker 1>with him, but he's he's we got to get him

348
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.640
<v Speaker 1>back on here. Come. He's a pro apologist, is what

349
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>he is. He's a proapologist. He absolutely is. That'll probably

350
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.400
<v Speaker 1>be on X tomorrow when when he sees this. Uh, Parrell,

351
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 1>We're going to get to our guest uh here tonight,

352
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 1>don O'Connell, in just less than a minute. I want

353
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 1>to bring up Miami. Uh right now. We'll talk about

354
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Malik Willis throughout this. If we don't get to tonight,

355
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to it on Friday. Miami added Caleb Joseph,

356
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>They added Kevin Coleman, They added Chris Bell. We talked

357
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:28.279
<v Speaker 1>about Chris Bell on the show last week. Actually, I

358
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.759
<v Speaker 1>want to get your thoughts. Is Miami right for adding

359
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.880
<v Speaker 1>one of these veteran wide receivers that are still floating

360
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:36.880
<v Speaker 1>around out there in free agency or do you think

361
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 1>they're going to go to battle with this this trio

362
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of rookies as well as Jalen Tolbert and Malik Washington.

363
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 3>Yes, don't don't be surprised if they add a wide receiver.

364
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:52.400
<v Speaker 3>It's going to have be a wide receiver that's going

365
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 3>to have to to be comfortable with his role of

366
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.720
<v Speaker 3>realizing he is on a on a run first team

367
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 3>and run second team. This is we're going back old

368
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:08.519
<v Speaker 3>school dolphin fans are going back to the Shula days.

369
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.039
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this is this is, this is kicking Zanka

370
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 3>and and they found a reincarnation if you're old enough

371
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.039
<v Speaker 3>to remember this one and be very few listening to

372
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.160
<v Speaker 3>the show tonight, but they found a reincarnation in the

373
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.039
<v Speaker 3>draft when they took this kid out of Ohio State

374
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.440
<v Speaker 3>at tight end. They caught fifteen balls last year at

375
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:32.880
<v Speaker 3>cos Maaric And and you know, this player is the

376
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.920
<v Speaker 3>reincarnation of Marf Leming from from the super And so

377
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:40.359
<v Speaker 3>you know this, this whole thing, and this is amazing me,

378
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:45.599
<v Speaker 3>amazing to me that last year Ali Gordon, you know,

379
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:47.920
<v Speaker 3>so this is a lot of Oli Gordon talk. Where

380
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:50.799
<v Speaker 3>do you remember you were coming in on Oli Gordon

381
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:51.359
<v Speaker 3>last year?

382
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.799
<v Speaker 1>My whole thing with Alli Gordon was I was a

383
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.880
<v Speaker 1>big I was a big jail and right fan of

384
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Mike McDaniel, where he prioritized speed over everything else. And

385
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 1>now this year Pharrell have kind of switched the flip,

386
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>aka flipped the switch because I feel like the new

387
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>regime coming in with John Eric Sullivan as the GM,

388
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:13.319
<v Speaker 1>with Jeff Haffley as as the I feel like I

389
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:16.440
<v Speaker 1>would much rather own Ollie Gordon, who is the between

390
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the tackles banger, the guy that will accentuate your defense,

391
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 1>heighten your running game. That is the player I would

392
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:25.680
<v Speaker 1>want as the backup to a Chan as opposed to

393
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Right. So and Jalen Right for me twenty twenty

394
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:31.200
<v Speaker 1>six Gordon?

395
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.359
<v Speaker 3>And would that would that Ollie Gordon look at one

396
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.039
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty carries on the season or maybe more,

397
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:39.799
<v Speaker 3>and I think he will in this offense. And and

398
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:42.839
<v Speaker 3>Ollie Gordon is you know, he's available in.

399
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 1>A number of these donasty drafts.

400
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.440
<v Speaker 3>And I apologize to everyone's drafting best ball and it

401
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:51.359
<v Speaker 3>naturally focused on the dynasty drafts here in the last

402
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:54.200
<v Speaker 3>few days. But uh, let's take a look at this

403
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:57.799
<v Speaker 3>wide receiver cor now Chris Bell. Everybody says it's Chris Bell. Well, yeah,

404
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.839
<v Speaker 3>Chris Bell is the guy who's gonna line up with

405
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Terrence Marshall. And this time last year, you know, I

406
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:08.799
<v Speaker 3>talked about how I never really bought into too two

407
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.400
<v Speaker 3>at well at the University of Louisville, and then he

408
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 3>made the rams and I was happy for it. And

409
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:15.839
<v Speaker 3>then he caught forty two balls with not a lot

410
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 3>of yardage. Maybe something like we would see if Zach

411
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Branch come a speedy guy that didn't get a lot

412
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:26.000
<v Speaker 3>of yardage and then he goes the Rams give him

413
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 3>a contract, reward him with a contract of eleven million

414
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.920
<v Speaker 3>dollars and he caught six balls last year, Balky, that's

415
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:37.960
<v Speaker 3>one point eight three million dollars a catch, and the

416
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.599
<v Speaker 3>yard is were like, you know, like fifty seven thousand.

417
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Dollars a yard. I mean, it's just just it's crazy.

418
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:48.319
<v Speaker 3>So now you know he's in He's in Miami playing

419
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:50.640
<v Speaker 3>for two million dollars or a little less this year

420
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:52.640
<v Speaker 3>back you know, kind of the league minimum. But my

421
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:59.440
<v Speaker 3>point is that this is the These are the receivers

422
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.400
<v Speaker 3>that they're going and that they're they're currently going to

423
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.759
<v Speaker 3>play with. And if this doesn't mean that you shouldn't

424
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 3>be drafting the entire backfield of the Dolphins as well

425
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:10.160
<v Speaker 3>as you know, I don't know what you're going to

426
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.359
<v Speaker 3>do with that quarterback because you know, he makes the quarterback.

427
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Ferrell I love that quarterback.

428
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:22.279
<v Speaker 3>Well, he makes defenses guests, and that creates some interesting things,

429
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:24.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, because with two we knew it too.

430
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:26.720
<v Speaker 1>It was gonna do you know, and.

431
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh, this team you take Hill and waddle out of

432
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.240
<v Speaker 3>this team. Guess what, it's a new day in Miami.

433
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.359
<v Speaker 3>And when this team goes on the road and you know,

434
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:39.559
<v Speaker 3>the AFC East and goes it goes in place some

435
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:41.480
<v Speaker 3>of these co weather teams, it's not gonna be the

436
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.079
<v Speaker 3>same uh may it may not be the same.

437
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Result as what we're having.

438
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.240
<v Speaker 3>It's going for those Dolphins fans like Tom Smith who's

439
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.079
<v Speaker 3>probably too hard at work today and might not get

440
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.519
<v Speaker 3>to watch the show until later. It's going to be

441
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.640
<v Speaker 3>a very satisfying year.

442
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.480
<v Speaker 1>If you like, if you like hard and knows offensive football,

443
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's what this team is built for. Yeah they are,

444
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:07.799
<v Speaker 1>and at least they're trying to get built for that.

445
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:10.880
<v Speaker 1>And I will say that's the last thing I want

446
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to say about Zechara Branch. You bring up tongue by lawa.

447
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.880
<v Speaker 1>That is another feather and Branch's cap with him wanting

448
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 1>uh tongue by la trying to get the ball out

449
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 1>as soon as possible in Miami. I think that continues

450
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:28.319
<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta, and I think that helped Zechariah Branch as well.

451
00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:30.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's going for you well.

452
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:32.559
<v Speaker 3>And then in a tip of the hand to the diesel,

453
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:35.119
<v Speaker 3>you know what was Dizzel's favorite thing to talk about.

454
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:38.279
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't forty yard dash and it wasn't strength. Relative

455
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:43.039
<v Speaker 3>athletic scrasps, you know, and they do have they do have.

456
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 3>You might have to pronounce it. Help me with the pronunciation.

457
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Uh se do to to Rory TI tied end out

458
00:24:53.200 --> 00:25:00.559
<v Speaker 3>of Mississippi State, relative athletics score off the charts.

459
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:04.079
<v Speaker 1>From down there in in Miami. Uh, okay, this is

460
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 1>this is wild? So this was an undrafted free agent? Yes, no,

461
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:14.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know, all right.

462
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 3>I thought he was a laid round draft pick, but

463
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:17.720
<v Speaker 3>he could have been a beauty f a.

464
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so this was this, but but he was for

465
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:24.279
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins, right, that's who I have. No, he was

466
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 1>a fifth round pick. Fall I'm seeing it right there

467
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you go. That's what I was thinking. I'm gonna say,

468
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.000
<v Speaker 1>say do tr That's how I'm gonna all right.

00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:35.680

<v Speaker 3>he would order at the bar and he told us

505
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:28.720

<v Speaker 3>an all expense paid trip there back in World War Two.

511
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:46.599
<v Speaker 3>It was it was a good thing for him.

512
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:48.440
<v Speaker 4>That was even harder work.

513
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was really hard work. My my, uh uh.

514
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Both my grandfathers had the same thing. There you go

515
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 1>as well. Yeah, Paul Bretton is who you're referring to,

516
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Pharaoh a guy that loves his side or love his fantasy.

517
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.200
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know he may or may not know,

518
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.799
<v Speaker 1>you don but I saw that he liked and reposted

519
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>on x that you were going to be on the

520
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:13.160
<v Speaker 1>show tonight. So that was very cool of Paul. Okay,

521
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:16.720
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get into a lot here. A couple

522
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:18.680
<v Speaker 1>of questions to kick things off the time before we

523
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.720
<v Speaker 1>get into fantasy football. Number one, how did you hit

524
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:24.720
<v Speaker 1>him today on the golf course? Did you hit him straight?

525
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:26.759
<v Speaker 1>How was How was the golfing today?

526
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:30.519
<v Speaker 4>I was fine. I missed four easy birdie putts, so

527
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:34.519
<v Speaker 4>it could have been way better. So I had about

528
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:35.200
<v Speaker 4>my average.

529
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 1>I went disc golfing Frisbee disc golfing for the first

530
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:41.559
<v Speaker 1>time in thirty years. This a couple of days ago

531
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:43.799
<v Speaker 1>because my son's starting to get into it. He's twelve

532
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:45.680
<v Speaker 1>years old, and he really wanted to go with me,

533
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.000
<v Speaker 1>first time in thirty years. And I got to tell you, like,

534
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:50.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a golfer like a traditional golfer, and I'm

535
00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:52.920
<v Speaker 1>not really a disc golfer. But let me tell you

536
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the frustration of missing putts whether you're traditional golfing or

537
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.640
<v Speaker 1>disc golfing, it is still the same in both.

538
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:02.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And how's your arm? Your arm must be?

539
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 1>It was not good. It was like so this would

540
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>have been on Monday. I went with him, and then

541
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday it was kind of sore. But my shoulder today

542
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:16.920
<v Speaker 1>uber sore, like I've been hitting it up with the

543
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Ben Gay and getting all that because it was not

544
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:23.759
<v Speaker 1>in a good way. But listen, nobody's tuning in to

545
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:26.839
<v Speaker 1>hear me talk about my sore shoulder. They want to

546
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.960
<v Speaker 1>know what you're doing, Don, when you were not winning

547
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.759
<v Speaker 1>all these FFPC leagues. Are you just golfing? Are you

548
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:35.799
<v Speaker 1>spending your time doing something else? What are you doing

549
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>when you're not winning FFPC leagues?

550
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 4>Both my wife and I are retired for quite a while.

551
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:43.599
<v Speaker 4>For ten years right now, I was an engineer and

552
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:45.400
<v Speaker 4>a rocket scientist and that kind of thing, you know,

553
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:49.519
<v Speaker 4>working on all kinds of spaceships and airplanes and all

554
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:54.519
<v Speaker 4>kinds of things for my whole career. So now all

555
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:58.079
<v Speaker 4>I do is golf and bowl and play fantasy football

556
00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:01.880
<v Speaker 4>and remodel houses. Also. I spend my time doing it,

557
00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:04.519
<v Speaker 4>and every once in a while I fool with new inventions.

558
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:07.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm kind of an inventor. I have a few inventions,

559
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:10.039
<v Speaker 4>so I fool with those things, although they don't really

560
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:13.279
<v Speaker 4>amount to much except for keeping me entertained, which is

561
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:13.839
<v Speaker 4>good enough.

562
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:18.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, what was What's what's your proudest invention that

563
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:23.119
<v Speaker 1>you've had over the years, Don, Oh, that's so too

564
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:23.839
<v Speaker 1>many to count.

565
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:28.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, I can't really tell you about my proudest,

566
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 4>but the latest one is a way to go clean

567
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 4>out my gutters while standing on the ground because she

568
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:38.319
<v Speaker 4>won't let me climb ladders anymore. So I clean out

569
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:41.559
<v Speaker 4>the gutters while standing on the ground. It works pretty good.

570
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Forty five minutes I do the whole house.

571
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:47.599
<v Speaker 1>So good for you. That's fantastic, good stuff. Well, congratulations

572
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:50.359
<v Speaker 1>on the retirement. Although it's not new. You've been retired

573
00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:52.680
<v Speaker 1>for a while, but it sounds like you are busier

574
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.400
<v Speaker 1>in retirement than I have ever been in my working life.

575
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:57.559
<v Speaker 1>That's really important.

576
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:00.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, gotta you gotta get to every day and plan thing,

577
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 4>which is one thing Fatty. Football is so fun for

578
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:05.480
<v Speaker 4>me because I turn it all into a giant math problem.

579
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:09.039
<v Speaker 4>So I'm doing the math all through the season, doing

580
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:13.079
<v Speaker 4>the math, trying to figure out how to maximize my teams.

581
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Good for you, Good for you, Ferrell.

582
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's get into it with Don Well and so I

583
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:25.319
<v Speaker 3>feel very very impressed with myself that I identified your lounger

584
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:26.359
<v Speaker 3>as a spaceship.

585
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I rocket scientists that you are.

586
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:34.359
<v Speaker 3>And you know, my goal, in my entirety of my

587
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.279
<v Speaker 3>life is to hang out with people as smarter than me,

588
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:39.400
<v Speaker 3>it's not very difficult to fulfill.

589
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:41.960
<v Speaker 1>But tonight with you and Balke, I'm certainly there.

<v Speaker 3>A player that played in the University of Louisville is

596
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Tyler Shuck and I am just thrilled with the assets

597
00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:06.240
<v Speaker 3>that are being put behind him and in front of

598
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 3>him there through the draft in New Orleans. I love

599
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:12.839
<v Speaker 3>the makeup of the team last year. I love what's

600
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.759
<v Speaker 3>going on with the team this year. You got a

601
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:18.400
<v Speaker 3>veteran running back that wants to stay there, that appears

602
00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:21.759
<v Speaker 3>like everybody has given up on your thoughts about this

603
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:25.079
<v Speaker 3>player and can't where can you see? Do you see

604
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:29.440
<v Speaker 3>him as a as a real bargain player right now?

605
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.759
<v Speaker 3>And do you think that he might be an everyday

606
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:36.240
<v Speaker 3>starter and every week starter in fantasy football this year?

607
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:42.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a that's a good question. I I don't

608
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:48.240
<v Speaker 4>see it myself. I think that he's he's doing better

609
00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 4>than expected last year and he's going to improve a

610
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:52.720
<v Speaker 4>little bit this year. I still don't see him crack

611
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:54.720
<v Speaker 4>in the top fifteen, so he doesn't make him a starter.

612
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:58.359
<v Speaker 4>He may be a super flex guy that you would

613
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:03.160
<v Speaker 4>be good with. He could crawl into like the not

614
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:06.000
<v Speaker 4>thirteen or something like that, given that they're given more

615
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:08.319
<v Speaker 4>of a supporting cast and they don't have such a

616
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:10.000
<v Speaker 4>strong defense, so they got to pass it a lot,

617
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 4>right they gotta They land a lean on him a lot,

618
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:14.480
<v Speaker 4>so he could get to there. But I don't see him.

619
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:18.119
<v Speaker 4>I don't see myself drafting him because I don't take

620
00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:23.599
<v Speaker 4>guys in that range. That's kind where I see that.

621
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:27.079
<v Speaker 1>And don that makes by the way, like I I

622
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.920
<v Speaker 1>totally understand your viewpoint on that, But my follow up

623
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:31.799
<v Speaker 1>to that would be is, if you're down on shuck,

624
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:34.519
<v Speaker 1>does that mean you're also down on guys like Chris o'lave,

625
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Juwan Johnson, Jordan Tyson? Does that If you're down on shuck,

626
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:42.440
<v Speaker 1>are you also kind of out on the Saints offense

627
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:42.960
<v Speaker 1>in general?

628
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.079
<v Speaker 4>No? No, not really, because a Lave is such a

629
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.759
<v Speaker 4>target hog. If I get him at the right price.

630
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 4>I would always take him. Juwan Johnson is he's hot

631
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:54.200
<v Speaker 4>and cold, but when he was hot, he was he

632
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 4>was spectacular.

633
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:59.960
<v Speaker 3>He's a he's a fantastic to get in the red zone.

634
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.400
<v Speaker 3>What about the rookie receiver from out your.

635
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Way, Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about him.

636
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:12.039
<v Speaker 4>I usually don't go with rookies so much because a

637
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.280
<v Speaker 4>lot of people like to really price them up because

638
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:16.880
<v Speaker 4>they think they're going to get the next Puka, and

639
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.000
<v Speaker 4>so they cost too much. So I typically don't end

640
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:24.719
<v Speaker 4>up with with rookies with any sort of hype about

641
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:27.679
<v Speaker 4>them because people hype them up way higher than they

642
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:32.800
<v Speaker 4>should be. So I usually don't take those risks. But

643
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:36.440
<v Speaker 4>o'lave I take a love at the right price. He

644
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:38.679
<v Speaker 4>kind of went off last year. I think he might

645
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.719
<v Speaker 4>be too pricey this year too.

646
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:45.679
<v Speaker 3>But you always on this show, you know, Bonky throw

647
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:49.440
<v Speaker 3>it up there. Derrek Geers checking in another Californian, and

648
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.920
<v Speaker 3>he says, keep the scientists don out of Kentucky. So

649
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:56.079
<v Speaker 3>you're already gonna have to make a commitment during the

650
00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:59.840
<v Speaker 3>other Californians are trying to attempt to bar you from

651
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.119
<v Speaker 3>I mean to Kentucky and we just we just.

652
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:05.360
<v Speaker 4>You know what, We're going there next spring on the

653
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.039
<v Speaker 4>Giant Motor Home trip. So I guess I'll change the

654
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:09.880
<v Speaker 4>license plate and there you go.

655
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:12.480
<v Speaker 3>There you go, the Giant Motorome trip.

656
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.159
<v Speaker 1>You're always well, don don let me ask you this.

657
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.920
<v Speaker 1>We talked about shock. What about Jackson Dart. I mean,

658
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:19.800
<v Speaker 1>we saw a little bit of him last year. You

659
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.199
<v Speaker 1>saw a little bit of him last year. This year,

660
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:24.800
<v Speaker 1>he has a new head coach in John Harbaugh. Matt

661
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Nagy is the new offensive coordinator. I you know, just

662
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:35.920
<v Speaker 1>as a normal reaction, I'm usually skeptical on players like

663
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.880
<v Speaker 1>this who have so much change going for him. And

664
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:40.679
<v Speaker 1>the other thing too is, you know, we don't know

665
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.599
<v Speaker 1>the health exactly of Malik Neighbors. Isaiah Likely is coming

666
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.280
<v Speaker 1>to town No Wandale Robinson. So there is a lot

667
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:49.360
<v Speaker 1>of change going on with the Giants. Jackson Dart is

668
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.480
<v Speaker 1>being drafted on average as the eighth quarterback in Big

669
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Gorilla drafts so far this season. Do you feel with

670
00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 1>all this change in New York that he's still worth

671
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a price tag in drafts?

672
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:05.280
<v Speaker 4>I do? I do. I like the running style that

673
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:07.960
<v Speaker 4>he has now, of course it's risk because he runs

674
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 4>so much he gets hurt. Right if you ever saw

675
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:13.920
<v Speaker 4>the interview with him and Gruden, Gruden kept telling him

676
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.840
<v Speaker 4>to stop doing this, you know, because you're just going

677
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:17.840
<v Speaker 4>to get hurt. You're not good to me if you're

678
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:22.239
<v Speaker 4>in the medical tent, which is true. But I still

679
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:26.400
<v Speaker 4>think that I believe Malik Neighbors will be back, and

680
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:28.519
<v Speaker 4>Jackson Dart's kind of a ball hog kind of a

681
00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:31.280
<v Speaker 4>guy where we're he'll just taking himself a lot, which

682
00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:33.599
<v Speaker 4>is good for fantasy, but not so much good for

683
00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:37.000
<v Speaker 4>his health. And the good thing is with fantasy is

684
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.360
<v Speaker 4>that you can start him when he's healthy, and when

685
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:43.280
<v Speaker 4>he's out, he starts your other guy. So that makes

686
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:45.840
<v Speaker 4>him really valuable when he's there, and then when he's not,

687
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:49.519
<v Speaker 4>you're going to start your other guy instead. So I

688
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:52.599
<v Speaker 4>will probably have some of him this year if he

689
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:54.440
<v Speaker 4>falls to the right spot. I'm going to have some

690
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:58.079
<v Speaker 4>of him, just because I really like the running aspect

691
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.159
<v Speaker 4>of it and the way it adds to the the

692
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:05.719
<v Speaker 4>bottom line for the player. Now, sure there's a downside

693
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:09.159
<v Speaker 4>with Harbaugh moving there they didn't live at him some

694
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:12.400
<v Speaker 4>but that could go the other way too.

695
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.960
<v Speaker 1>It certainly could. And to your point on I will

696
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:20.159
<v Speaker 1>say this, for if you want to draft Jackson Dart,

697
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.199
<v Speaker 1>you're nervous about the injury, you're nervous about what could happen.

698
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Because of the depth of quarterback this year, it is

699
00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:30.320
<v Speaker 1>fairly easy for you to draft Dart and then grab Prescott,

700
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Grab brock Perty who was the best fantasy quarterback down

701
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:39.199
<v Speaker 1>the stretch last season. Grab Patrick Mahomes, who is one

702
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe, eighteen MVPs so far in his career, so

703
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:46.679
<v Speaker 1>you could get him, Stafford, Kyler Murray who's on the upswing.

704
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:48.920
<v Speaker 1>We already talked about Tyler Shock. I know you're down

705
00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:51.960
<v Speaker 1>on him, but you could still get Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield,

706
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.039
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Love who should be passing it more this year.

707
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I listed like seven quarterbacks there, so even if Dart

708
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:01.199
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work out, you could still miss on that ceiling,

709
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:03.519
<v Speaker 1>but still get a floor with some of these other

710
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:04.119
<v Speaker 1>guys here.

711
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:08.920
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely everything you just said. That's my That's always how

712
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:11.559
<v Speaker 4>I do this game. As I draft a guy somewhere

713
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:14.199
<v Speaker 4>between eight and twelve, I get two of them. Yeah, right,

714
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.239
<v Speaker 4>and then I can flip flop between them. It's been

715
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:20.360
<v Speaker 4>depending on what they're facing, you know, because sometimes when

716
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.119
<v Speaker 4>they're facing a really tough team. You don't want to

717
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:25.159
<v Speaker 4>start them. So yeah, and those guys you just mentioned,

718
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:25.760
<v Speaker 4>I'll have all.

719
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:27.239
<v Speaker 1>I'll have a lot of them.

720
00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:31.119
<v Speaker 3>Don We're making a five dollars wager right now. We've

721
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:33.599
<v Speaker 3>got five on it. Bulky can't find the music, but

722
00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:36.639
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna have five on it. I'm gonna take Shuck

723
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:42.400
<v Speaker 3>and you're going to take the Giants corbat and we

724
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:47.280
<v Speaker 3>are going to an FFPC scoring the player that gets

725
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.280
<v Speaker 3>the most Fantasy points for the season.

726
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:52.039
<v Speaker 1>We got five on.

727
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:54.480
<v Speaker 3>It because if I lose five, I've lost five dollars.

728
00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:56.679
<v Speaker 3>And if I win, I can say, you know, I

729
00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:58.239
<v Speaker 3>beat the Rocket Scientists.

730
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.360
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, So there is there any way I can

731
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:01.400
<v Speaker 4>enter in on this thing?

732
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No, you're you're in it. I've already you're in.

733
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm already hoped.

734
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:06.800
<v Speaker 4>That sounds good to me.

735
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Shock versus Dart the first one of its kind

736
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.360
<v Speaker 1>all season long. Certainly a fun quarterback conversation. We can

737
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.719
<v Speaker 1>talk about tight ends here now too, Farrell.

738
00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:21.599
<v Speaker 3>I love tight ends and I love Tyler Warren. Last year,

739
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:26.920
<v Speaker 3>last year, it was better to start than it was

740
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.719
<v Speaker 3>to finish. Seventy six catches only four touchdowns put him

741
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.280
<v Speaker 3>in the range of Dalton Schultz, you know, and then

742
00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:38.199
<v Speaker 3>and Dalton Schultz has had a good year last year,

743
00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:43.440
<v Speaker 3>but he's largely left behind in drafts. Ten targets once,

744
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:47.719
<v Speaker 3>that was the overtime game against Atlanta, and that was

745
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:50.119
<v Speaker 3>the last game that Colts won. Last year, he had

746
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:52.920
<v Speaker 3>nine targets about four or five times, one hundred and

747
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:56.280
<v Speaker 3>twelve targets for the season, seventy six catches. I think

748
00:39:56.320 --> 00:40:00.760
<v Speaker 3>a better year is forthcoming. I think down the stretch

749
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:04.800
<v Speaker 3>he faded a bit, but the whole team faded. They

750
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:08.880
<v Speaker 3>they lost everything down the stretch. Loss Rivers was the

751
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:13.119
<v Speaker 3>quarterback down the stretch. Yeah, and you know, God bless you, Philip,

752
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.840
<v Speaker 3>So you know we gave it his fighting chance. So

753
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:19.599
<v Speaker 3>I expect a big year for Tyler Warren.

754
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:27.440
<v Speaker 4>Your thoughts, Oh absolutely, I expect him to keep the

755
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:29.199
<v Speaker 4>magic of the front of the year going. They were

756
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:31.800
<v Speaker 4>hurt at the end, and Daniel Jones was hurt. Daniel

757
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:35.199
<v Speaker 4>Jones loves to throw to his tight ends and he

758
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:38.199
<v Speaker 4>showed that. I really like tight ends that are in

759
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:40.159
<v Speaker 4>a place where the quarterback likes to dump it to

760
00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:41.079
<v Speaker 4>them a lot.

761
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:43.960
<v Speaker 3>You think we can get over ninety catches for Tyler

762
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Warren this year and push double.

763
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Digit touchdowns wouldn't surprise me at all, and that'd be great. Yeah,

764
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:52.880
<v Speaker 4>it wouldn't surprise me at all. He could easily need

765
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:56.280
<v Speaker 4>the number three guy for tight ends and I don't

766
00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:58.440
<v Speaker 4>expect him to be lower than number six, So he's

767
00:40:58.440 --> 00:40:59.119
<v Speaker 4>somewhere in there.

768
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's going off in the FFPC big gorilla right now.

769
00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Donnie's going off as quarter begging pardon tight end four.

770
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.199
<v Speaker 1>So are still believing in him? And and like I

771
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:12.280
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Rivers as well, he got off to such a

772
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.960
<v Speaker 1>great start and then obviously in the money weeks when

773
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:17.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people were hoping he'd come through, he

774
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:21.199
<v Speaker 1>really didn't. So we forget about how good he was

775
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:25.360
<v Speaker 1>last year. If we look back again his rookie season

776
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.679
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, seventy six catches, over eight hundred yards

777
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:34.679
<v Speaker 1>and just four touchdowns. I think those touchdowns positively regress

778
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:37.880
<v Speaker 1>this year, where he gets in the six seven range

779
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:41.239
<v Speaker 1>and then he probably flirts with nine hundred yards. He

780
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:44.320
<v Speaker 1>probably I don't know if he hits ninety catches Farrell,

781
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:47.920
<v Speaker 1>but but to Don's point, it would not surprise me

782
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:50.920
<v Speaker 1>if he hit ninety catches this year, No Michael Pittman

783
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:55.079
<v Speaker 1>in that offense, and Michael Pittman Michael Pittman, So certainly

784
00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:58.519
<v Speaker 1>this could be a big time Pierce Warrant thing. And

785
00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:02.599
<v Speaker 1>as much as you know, we compared Loveland and Warren

786
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:05.639
<v Speaker 1>last year so much because they were both rookies who

787
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.960
<v Speaker 1>got that top you know, first half of the first

788
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:12.119
<v Speaker 1>round draft capital and then Warren looked like he was

789
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:14.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the guy, and then Loveland came out at

790
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the end. And because we are prisoners of the moment,

791
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:20.800
<v Speaker 1>we understand recency bias. Loveland is in the forefront of

792
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:23.800
<v Speaker 1>our minds. And I say our minds because I'm including

793
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:26.320
<v Speaker 1>myself and that I've drafted Colts and Loveland a lot

794
00:42:26.360 --> 00:42:30.199
<v Speaker 1>this year. But we cannot forget about one Tyler Warren,

795
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:33.320
<v Speaker 1>who in his rookie year flirted with eighty catches, got

796
00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:36.119
<v Speaker 1>over eight hundred yards and four touchdowns as well. Pretty

797
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:40.440
<v Speaker 1>impressive stuff from Tyler Warren. Okay, let's move on and

798
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:42.800
<v Speaker 1>talk about another tight end. This guy is near and

799
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:46.320
<v Speaker 1>dear to my heart. Don I'm the northeast Wisconsin, I'm

800
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:49.239
<v Speaker 1>a Packers fan, I'm a season ticket holder. I love

801
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:52.519
<v Speaker 1>my Green Bay Packers. I love Tucker Craft. He is

802
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:55.679
<v Speaker 1>coming off the ACL, so we don't know exactly how

803
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:58.440
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna fare if we look back, and I think

804
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:01.320
<v Speaker 1>this is you know, as much is people seem to

805
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:04.760
<v Speaker 1>be positive about Tucker Craft as much as people seem

806
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.599
<v Speaker 1>to be on board with Christian Watson this year. Both

807
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:10.280
<v Speaker 1>of those guys did their damage last year for the

808
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Packers when the other one was hurt. Craft was crushing

809
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:17.239
<v Speaker 1>it when Watson was still recovering from the ACL. Watson

810
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:19.280
<v Speaker 1>came on at the end of the season when Craft

811
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:22.119
<v Speaker 1>was suffered the ACL and he wasn't out there. These

812
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:24.519
<v Speaker 1>guys are going to have to coexist this year. However,

813
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:27.840
<v Speaker 1>they do have the added benefit fantasy wise of not

814
00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:31.639
<v Speaker 1>competing for targets with Romeo Dobbs and Dantavian Wicks, who

815
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:34.639
<v Speaker 1>are both on the East Coast now in Philadelphia and

816
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:38.400
<v Speaker 1>New England. This is a more concentrated pass offense. But

817
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:42.920
<v Speaker 1>specifically speaking to you about Tucker Craft, how do you

818
00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:46.400
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna fare this year in a different Packers

819
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:50.920
<v Speaker 1>passing offense than what was existing in twenty twenty five.

820
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:54.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he makes me nervous. I know that he's super

821
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:57.519
<v Speaker 4>talented and I watched him do spectacular things that for

822
00:43:57.559 --> 00:43:59.960
<v Speaker 4>a tight end, Yeah, right, then a super deep tar

823
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:04.239
<v Speaker 4>gets and super athletic for those, So the athleticism typically

824
00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:06.480
<v Speaker 4>goes down after an acl you know, and a bigger

825
00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:09.039
<v Speaker 4>guy is even harder for him to heal from such

826
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:11.800
<v Speaker 4>a thing. And then with the changing of offense, so

827
00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:16.360
<v Speaker 4>he might be a superstar, he might be a disappointment.

828
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:19.400
<v Speaker 4>I think he's kind of risky. I would always wait

829
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:22.360
<v Speaker 4>a long time before I would pick him. Somebody else

830
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:25.679
<v Speaker 4>had probably taken him before me, and they've got risk

831
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:29.719
<v Speaker 4>in that where he's way more risky than Tyler Warren,

832
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:33.639
<v Speaker 4>although Tyler Warren is much earlier draft pick where Craft

833
00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:36.400
<v Speaker 4>is like eight or something like that. There's guys around

834
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:41.199
<v Speaker 4>around eight that I would rather take versus Craft.

835
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Let me do this, Let me do this, don I

836
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:46.239
<v Speaker 1>want to do a would you rather? You tell me

837
00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:49.000
<v Speaker 1>which of these tight ends you'd rather draft this year

838
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:52.400
<v Speaker 1>at this moment, Tucker Craft or Sam Laporta.

839
00:44:54.639 --> 00:45:02.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh oh, I probably, yeah, good question. I probably I

840
00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:05.039
<v Speaker 4>probably go Craft. I'm kind of down on the Porta

841
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:07.480
<v Speaker 4>because he doesn't seem to get the ball and.

842
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:10.079
<v Speaker 1>He's got the back thing to the back thing concerns me. Yeah,

843
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Tucker Craft or Kyle Pitts oh Pits, Tucker Craft or

844
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Ronde Gadsden.

845
00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:19.199
<v Speaker 4>I probably go to Ronde.

846
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. That's the upside there. This is a fun one.

847
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Tucker Craft or George Kittle, who was recovering from that

848
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:29.559
<v Speaker 1>torn Achilles.

849
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:36.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's that's a good, good question. I probably would

850
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:40.400
<v Speaker 4>Craft because I just think the Achilles is so hard.

851
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:42.400
<v Speaker 4>There are people that have came back from it, but

852
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:46.079
<v Speaker 4>they are rare. And and and he's old thirty five

853
00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:46.559
<v Speaker 4>or something.

854
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's not young anymore.

855
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Tucker Craft, Kittle and Tonga Spalky. Okay, I have them both.

856
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:58.440
<v Speaker 1>And well you're talking about soaking two draft picks now

857
00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:02.320
<v Speaker 1>now versus yea. Let me ask you this, that Tucker

858
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Craft or the healthy Isaiah Likely now a New York Giant,

859
00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:07.440
<v Speaker 1>which one would you rather have?

860
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:10.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

861
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

862
00:46:11.039 --> 00:46:13.400
<v Speaker 4>I would probably go with Craft. See, I don't know

863
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:16.920
<v Speaker 4>how well Jackson Dart's gonna throw it to a tight end. Yeah,

864
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:18.719
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if he loves doing that or not.

865
00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:20.920
<v Speaker 4>If I knew he loved doing it, then Isaiah likely

866
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:24.800
<v Speaker 4>is a spectacular pick. But I don't know. See, Jackson

867
00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:26.880
<v Speaker 4>Dart just hogs the ball. He just wants to run

868
00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:30.000
<v Speaker 4>it half the time whenever there's nothing to throw to.

869
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:36.000
<v Speaker 4>So he doesn't support wide receivers or even tight ends

870
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:37.480
<v Speaker 4>so well by throwing it.

871
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:41.880
<v Speaker 3>John imagine, imagine likely as a slot receiver. Does that

872
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:42.679
<v Speaker 3>change your.

873
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.280
<v Speaker 4>That doesn't change my thought. But yeah, that's what he is.

874
00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:49.119
<v Speaker 1>I love this.

875
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.280
<v Speaker 4>Maybe he goes and does like what Wandale did, but

876
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:55.159
<v Speaker 4>he's just bigger now that if he does that, then

877
00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:58.320
<v Speaker 4>likely he'll be the top three guy. Yeah, but I

878
00:46:58.360 --> 00:46:59.800
<v Speaker 4>don't think he'll do what Wandale.

879
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:03.639
<v Speaker 3>You know, I got a question coming up for you,

880
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:05.920
<v Speaker 3>and I think only you can answer it. I think

881
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.840
<v Speaker 3>we I think some of our guests, including the co

882
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:12.360
<v Speaker 3>host would It would leave us baffled, you know, but

883
00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I think you can handle it.

884
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:16.480
<v Speaker 1>You have a you have a way about you.

885
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:19.239
<v Speaker 3>You know, you have a going back to my Gilligan

886
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Island days of my youth. You have a skipper like

887
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:27.199
<v Speaker 3>appearance and good nature with the professorial intellect and you know,

888
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.440
<v Speaker 3>and do you know what that would have resulted in

889
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:31.639
<v Speaker 3>for that show?

890
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

891
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.480
<v Speaker 4>So both, But like Ginger probably would have came back

892
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:35.960
<v Speaker 4>home with me.

893
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:38.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking that you would have captured the affection of

894
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:41.159
<v Speaker 3>both Ginger and Marianne, and you would not have to

895
00:47:41.159 --> 00:47:43.840
<v Speaker 3>play this either or game with Balkey. I think you

896
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.280
<v Speaker 3>would have captured both of them. But here's the kind

897
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:49.639
<v Speaker 3>of either or going around the block. AJ Brown moves

898
00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:53.400
<v Speaker 3>on from Philadelphia. We're assuming. You know what happens when

899
00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:56.199
<v Speaker 3>you assume, but we're gonna do it anyway. So how

900
00:47:56.239 --> 00:48:01.000
<v Speaker 3>close will Devonte Smith come become to be the receiver

901
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:03.239
<v Speaker 3>that we all have hoped he can be?

902
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

903
00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:08.400
<v Speaker 3>And if he, if he does become that receiver, are

904
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:11.360
<v Speaker 3>we looking at a Jackson Smith and Jigma kind of

905
00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:15.360
<v Speaker 3>repeat of twenty twenty five? There's the ceiling that high

906
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:19.079
<v Speaker 3>for the Philadelphia receiver Smith.

907
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:20.719
<v Speaker 4>And my opinion they.

908
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:25.039
<v Speaker 1>Sorry to interrupt on The reason we bring that up

909
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:27.400
<v Speaker 1>is because we saw reports a month or two ago

910
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:31.679
<v Speaker 1>that the Eagles, apparently the Eagles coaching staff believed that

911
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:35.039
<v Speaker 1>the JSN twenty twenty five season, that is in the

912
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:37.760
<v Speaker 1>cards for Devonte Smith this year if they moved on

913
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:39.760
<v Speaker 1>from AJ Brown, which it seems like they're going to.

914
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:43.320
<v Speaker 3>You think those coaches are smoking something over in Philly.

915
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:45.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

916
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:47.840
<v Speaker 4>I lived in Philly for four years and they have

917
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:49.320
<v Speaker 4>their own opinions.

918
00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Do you ever meet chirp up there. He has his

919
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:52.559
<v Speaker 1>own opinions to.

920
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:57.400
<v Speaker 4>You in any way that the Eagles. The Eagles are

921
00:48:57.199 --> 00:48:59.400
<v Speaker 4>they might get back to be more of a running

922
00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:01.639
<v Speaker 4>team and then may be more of a Saquon team,

923
00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:04.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, and and so they can't center around like

924
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:08.920
<v Speaker 4>what they did with JSN. With Seattle, he's like the

925
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:10.880
<v Speaker 4>guy they threw it to him like sixty percent of

926
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:15.039
<v Speaker 4>the time or some ridiculous amount of times. Davante Smith

927
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.880
<v Speaker 4>will never have that kind of target share, I don't

928
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:20.679
<v Speaker 4>think right. And the Eagles don't throw it that much.

929
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:22.960
<v Speaker 4>They don't need to. When they were playing good, they

930
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:25.599
<v Speaker 4>didn't need to, so they can't They can't approach that.

931
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:28.000
<v Speaker 4>Davante Smith is probably a guy I won't get because

932
00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:30.400
<v Speaker 4>the other people will hype him way up to weigh

933
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:33.199
<v Speaker 4>up like a number fifteen or ten or something like that,

934
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:36.599
<v Speaker 4>and I'll never pay that much for him, So I

935
00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:40.599
<v Speaker 4>don't think he's gonna he's going a good receiver, but

936
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:43.400
<v Speaker 4>he'll be number fifteen or twenty and people will be

937
00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:45.039
<v Speaker 4>paying like a ten for him.

938
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:48.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and people like Steve g just posted from the

939
00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Fantasy Sopranos. He's a big believer and Steve J's a

940
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:55.719
<v Speaker 3>hell of a fantasy player, So you know that's what

941
00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:59.239
<v Speaker 3>would you call him? Balk With this, Davante Smith be

942
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:02.519
<v Speaker 3>a polarize.

943
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:06.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's polarizing yet because his ADP is

944
00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:10.199
<v Speaker 1>still down. But I will say this, if aj Brown

945
00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:12.480
<v Speaker 1>gets moved and all of a sudden, DeVonta Smith's ADP

946
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:15.480
<v Speaker 1>moves up a round and a half, we will find

947
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:18.639
<v Speaker 1>out who the DeVonta Smith truthers are out there. Yeah,

948
00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:21.039
<v Speaker 1>he will be picking him much higher than some of

949
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:25.239
<v Speaker 1>the people who who are not necessarily DeVonta Smith doubters.

950
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:27.559
<v Speaker 1>But bringing up some of the stuff that Don brought up,

951
00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, the fact that they could be getting back

952
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:33.960
<v Speaker 1>to more of a stronger running game, a stronger running

953
00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:36.639
<v Speaker 1>team this season. I brought this up on the road

954
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:38.920
<v Speaker 1>of his high Stakes lowdown last night with Wilson moy

955
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:43.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, they did pay Hollywood Brown, They they did

956
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:46.880
<v Speaker 1>trade for and extend on Tavian Wicks. Well, I do

957
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:51.119
<v Speaker 1>think those are more reflections of the wide receiver market

958
00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:53.599
<v Speaker 1>as a whole in the NFL. I do think we

959
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:56.880
<v Speaker 1>have to recognize that they went out and they drafted

960
00:50:57.000 --> 00:50:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the Bolitnikoff winner in the first round of the nf

961
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Draft this year, and they followed that up in the

962
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:05.719
<v Speaker 1>second round by drafting the John Mackia winner John McKie

963
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Award winner with Eli Stowers. So there are going that

964
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:12.280
<v Speaker 1>this could be more of a diverse not necessarily a

965
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:14.719
<v Speaker 1>concentrated past. And I think that's what it comes back

966
00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:17.880
<v Speaker 1>to with DeVante Smith and why I don't believe he

967
00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:20.840
<v Speaker 1>will ever hit that JSN level. There's just too many

968
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:23.440
<v Speaker 1>pass catchers on this team, which is what Don alluded to.

969
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:27.480
<v Speaker 1>There's just you're never going to get enough concentration even

970
00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:30.199
<v Speaker 1>on a team that if they somehow open up the

971
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:33.199
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver, if they somehow open up the passing game,

972
00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:36.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't see that happening. I don't think the JSN

973
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:41.280
<v Speaker 1>season is in the cards for Demonta Smith. Let's move on, guys.

974
00:51:41.320 --> 00:51:43.599
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about a free agent right now,

975
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:47.719
<v Speaker 1>a guy who is hashtag not guilty, Stefan Dicks. He

976
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:51.800
<v Speaker 1>is out there right now and the strangulation thing is

977
00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:55.119
<v Speaker 1>now behind him, at least legally speaking. Don what do

978
00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:57.519
<v Speaker 1>you do with a guy like Diggs if you were

979
00:51:57.639 --> 00:52:00.920
<v Speaker 1>drafting now knowing that this guy I didn't have the

980
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:03.360
<v Speaker 1>worst season in the world for the AFC champion New

981
00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:06.760
<v Speaker 1>England Patriots last year. But we can, I think pretty

982
00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:09.559
<v Speaker 1>confidently say his best football is behind him. But we

983
00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:11.719
<v Speaker 1>said that about Keenan Allen for years, and how many

984
00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:15.239
<v Speaker 1>post prime great seasons did Keenan Allen have. What do

985
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:17.159
<v Speaker 1>you do with Diggs? He's not on a team right now,

986
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:19.159
<v Speaker 1>how do we handle him in drafts?

987
00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:22.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a tough question. I love Diggs. I drafted

988
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:24.679
<v Speaker 4>him in just about every league I had. Last year,

989
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:27.280
<v Speaker 4>I got him in the seventh round and it was

990
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:31.000
<v Speaker 4>a great value. Everybody hated him for some reason, and

991
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:33.079
<v Speaker 4>I just scooped him up again and again and again

992
00:52:33.559 --> 00:52:36.840
<v Speaker 4>and played him a bunch as my worst guy on

993
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:37.800
<v Speaker 4>my team.

994
00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:39.639
<v Speaker 1>So he was great.

995
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:46.039
<v Speaker 4>Now he's healthier, but I'm afraid that he's going to

996
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:48.840
<v Speaker 4>get suspended for a bunch of games by the league,

997
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:53.599
<v Speaker 4>because so I would stay away from him myself. And

998
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:55.719
<v Speaker 4>he's not on a team. I think there's going to

999
00:52:55.760 --> 00:52:59.760
<v Speaker 4>be suspended some of the time, So I would stay

1000
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:02.119
<v Speaker 4>away from unless he and then if he lands in

1001
00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:04.639
<v Speaker 4>a good spot, I would consider him. But right now

1002
00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:06.480
<v Speaker 4>he hasn't led it anywhere, and I think people are

1003
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:08.119
<v Speaker 4>going to kind of heat their hands off of him.

1004
00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:12.519
<v Speaker 4>So I would only get him right now if I would.

1005
00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:15.519
<v Speaker 4>I don't draft right now, it's too early, but I

1006
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:17.719
<v Speaker 4>would only pick him up in the nineteenth round or

1007
00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:23.280
<v Speaker 4>something like that right now because he's just he doesn't

1008
00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:24.480
<v Speaker 4>play football right now.

1009
00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:29.599
<v Speaker 1>He is going at wide receiver fifty nine in the

1010
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:33.199
<v Speaker 1>Big Gorilla at the moment. That is right after Brandon Au,

1011
00:53:33.400 --> 00:53:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Jalen McMillan, Omar Cooper. It is right before Juwan Jennings,

1012
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Denzel Boston, and Rashid Shaheed. So I think you can

1013
00:53:41.159 --> 00:53:44.280
<v Speaker 1>make the case that among those six guys that I

1014
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:47.280
<v Speaker 1>just named there, he has the most accomplished resume.

1015
00:53:47.800 --> 00:53:51.159
<v Speaker 4>I would agree with that because he looked good last

1016
00:53:51.239 --> 00:53:53.599
<v Speaker 4>year and then there was sometimes See, Drake May doesn't

1017
00:53:53.599 --> 00:53:55.559
<v Speaker 4>spread the ball or out. He spreads it her out

1018
00:53:55.639 --> 00:53:58.480
<v Speaker 4>a lot. He doesn't focus on a guy. So it's

1019
00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:02.000
<v Speaker 4>tough to pick Diggs on a week that he was

1020
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:04.960
<v Speaker 4>gonna have a good week. Well, he would have random

1021
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:07.760
<v Speaker 4>good weeks because Drake May spreads it out a lot

1022
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:10.719
<v Speaker 4>and runs it a lot, you know. But Digson still,

1023
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:12.960
<v Speaker 4>he looked good when they gave him the ball.

1024
00:54:13.599 --> 00:54:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, when he got the ball.

1025
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:17.159
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

1026
00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:22.159
<v Speaker 1>The new England Patriots. Farrell ended up as we watched

1027
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:25.519
<v Speaker 1>this game together in Kentucky, they ended up falling to

1028
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:29.679
<v Speaker 1>the Seattle Seahawks. And a big part of that was

1029
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:33.639
<v Speaker 1>one Kenneth Walker who has moved on to Kansas City.

1030
00:54:33.880 --> 00:54:36.960
<v Speaker 1>And you want to talk about polarizing players, I don't know, Farrell,

1031
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that this could be a polarizing player right now.

1032
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:43.000
<v Speaker 3>How sweet it is that Kenneth Walker is getting his

1033
00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:47.239
<v Speaker 3>due Super Bowl MVP, Fellaws, Kenneth Walker. We may not

1034
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:49.679
<v Speaker 3>know where Diggs is going, but can you think of

1035
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:53.719
<v Speaker 3>a sweeter landing spot for the Super Bowl MVP than

1036
00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:56.239
<v Speaker 3>the Kansas City Chiefs. I like what it does for

1037
00:54:56.360 --> 00:54:59.320
<v Speaker 3>the players around him. I like what it does for Mahomes.

1038
00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Home hasn't had a goal to running back for quite

1039
00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:05.159
<v Speaker 3>a while. You know, they keep unearthing the back up

1040
00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:08.960
<v Speaker 3>the retired veterans backs to come in and Kareem Hunt

1041
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:11.840
<v Speaker 3>did work. I like the check o who has moved on.

1042
00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:14.519
<v Speaker 3>But I really like what this player can do for

1043
00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:17.719
<v Speaker 3>the team. We always saw this team in this past

1044
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:20.320
<v Speaker 3>season not a good year for the Chiefs. We saw

1045
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:23.599
<v Speaker 3>him in down in distance situations. Mahomes is a big

1046
00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:26.719
<v Speaker 3>value in the drafts Balky was Darren got to say

1047
00:55:26.719 --> 00:55:27.880
<v Speaker 3>about where he's being.

1048
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Drafted in the Big Gorilla.

1049
00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:32.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's double digits for one of the greatest

1050
00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:35.360
<v Speaker 3>quarterbacks in the league right now, and you take, you know,

1051
00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:38.480
<v Speaker 3>general manager Brett beachs that gives a little bit of

1052
00:55:38.519 --> 00:55:40.320
<v Speaker 3>a tip of the hat and he says, this guy's

1053
00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:43.719
<v Speaker 3>underrated receiver skills. And by damn it, Dawn, I was

1054
00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:46.519
<v Speaker 3>the first one on this show and everybody gave me

1055
00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:51.639
<v Speaker 3>that raised eyebarrow. You know, I said that this Walker

1056
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:55.800
<v Speaker 3>has the same talent of the New York Jets running

1057
00:55:55.840 --> 00:55:59.840
<v Speaker 3>back when they were drafted Breese Hall, and people just

1058
00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:03.199
<v Speaker 3>just laughed at me. Now they're close, But which one's

1059
00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:05.519
<v Speaker 3>getting drafted before?

1060
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:07.480
<v Speaker 1>All? Is still going.

1061
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Before Walker or we're getting close were they were.

1062
00:56:11.639 --> 00:56:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Bridging that gap? Right? Walker is ahead of Breess Hall.

1063
00:56:15.239 --> 00:56:17.679
<v Speaker 3>What do you think about that? Don Walker is ahead

1064
00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:18.280
<v Speaker 3>of Breshall.

1065
00:56:18.599 --> 00:56:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Walker is running back twelve, Briess Hall running back fifteen.

1066
00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Walker going on average at the two to nine, and

1067
00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:27.480
<v Speaker 1>then Breese Hall at the three oh seven. So about

1068
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:29.559
<v Speaker 1>a round of difference between those two running backs.

1069
00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:32.599
<v Speaker 3>Don see I go down, I go down memory lane

1070
00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:35.000
<v Speaker 3>when I get something right. So you know, I just

1071
00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:37.320
<v Speaker 3>just want to relive that a little bit. What do

1072
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:40.639
<v Speaker 3>you think is it is? Is all of this stuff?

1073
00:56:41.320 --> 00:56:44.159
<v Speaker 3>Is two o nine not warranted for this player? Or

1074
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:46.519
<v Speaker 3>do you believe like me that you can't draft this

1075
00:56:46.599 --> 00:56:47.599
<v Speaker 3>player high enough?

1076
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:52.320
<v Speaker 4>I think two nine is about right for him. He's

1077
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:57.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm a huge Seahawks fan, so I watched him, and

1078
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:02.119
<v Speaker 4>I watched him every single time he played. He's good.

1079
00:57:02.159 --> 00:57:04.159
<v Speaker 4>He always seemed to be kind of hurt, you know,

1080
00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:06.760
<v Speaker 4>and and it just kept happening again and again. Last

1081
00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:10.480
<v Speaker 4>year he had this big run because Charbonnay was out

1082
00:57:11.079 --> 00:57:13.199
<v Speaker 4>and they fed him the ball and he didn't get hurt.

1083
00:57:13.519 --> 00:57:18.480
<v Speaker 4>He's a spectacular athlete. I saw him break a tackle

1084
00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:22.239
<v Speaker 4>using his head and jump up onto his feet using

1085
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:27.760
<v Speaker 4>only his head. He's spectacular. But when they go take

1086
00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:30.760
<v Speaker 4>and pound the ball with him, he'll just get dinged

1087
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:33.960
<v Speaker 4>up again. So he's worth it because when he's playing,

1088
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:35.440
<v Speaker 4>he's going to be great, and then he's gonna be

1089
00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:37.800
<v Speaker 4>on the bench and then you got to have somebody

1090
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:41.519
<v Speaker 4>else to replace him for a few weeks. Breece Hall

1091
00:57:41.519 --> 00:57:44.320
<v Speaker 4>doesn't seem to have that kind of injury stuff going on,

1092
00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:48.400
<v Speaker 4>so I would probably tend towards Breece a little more

1093
00:57:48.440 --> 00:57:54.079
<v Speaker 4>than Canine, But I still think Canine is a good pick.

1094
00:57:54.679 --> 00:57:57.800
<v Speaker 4>I just wouldn't count on him for sixteen games. Now.

1095
00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:00.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, you'd be surprised to know here in Kentucky

1096
00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:04.880
<v Speaker 3>we actually draft for the upcoming year on Super Bowl weekend.

1097
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:08.639
<v Speaker 3>And while here Steve G of the Fantasy Sopranos says

1098
00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:12.280
<v Speaker 3>he got Walker in the fourth round, meaning that you

1099
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:14.599
<v Speaker 3>can go pan him for gold here in Kentucky on

1100
00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:17.880
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowl weekend and get guys like Walker in the

1101
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:22.159
<v Speaker 3>fourth round, just saying, just saying.

1102
00:58:21.960 --> 00:58:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Don listen, don if you come to Kentucky in January

1103
00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:32.320
<v Speaker 1>or February, I guess it would be rule next year,

1104
00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:37.079
<v Speaker 1>you and I will have a long conversation about drafting

1105
00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:41.239
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football leagues and drafting fantasy football teams at early

1106
00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and how much fun it is, and watch the Super

1107
00:58:43.480 --> 00:58:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Bowl together. It'll be a blast. Before we get to that,

1108
00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:50.199
<v Speaker 1>we have to have you answer some of these viewer

1109
00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:53.800
<v Speaker 1>emails that we've gotten in specifically for you tonight, and

1110
00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:58.199
<v Speaker 1>I want to kick things off here with Ron and Plantation,

1111
00:58:58.320 --> 00:59:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Florida's email and he rights, do you believe this is

1112
00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:05.079
<v Speaker 1>a Kien Williams year or a Blake Quorum this year,

1113
00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Blake Korum year this campaign in twenty twenty six. That

1114
00:59:09.639 --> 00:59:13.039
<v Speaker 1>is Ron in Plantation, Florida. Don How do you feel

1115
00:59:13.079 --> 00:59:17.239
<v Speaker 1>about Kien Williams and Blake Korum right now in how

1116
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:19.599
<v Speaker 1>we have to handle them in fantasy leagues?

1117
00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:24.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? I think Kiren still has the sixty and the

1118
00:59:24.239 --> 00:59:27.239
<v Speaker 4>sixty forty split. It was a little more than that

1119
00:59:27.320 --> 00:59:29.679
<v Speaker 4>last year, but they'll give Korum the ball a little more.

1120
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:33.880
<v Speaker 4>McVeigh tends to stick with this guy, right, so he's

1121
00:59:33.880 --> 00:59:37.599
<v Speaker 4>gonna keep sticking with him, So I would go still

1122
00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:43.960
<v Speaker 4>with I wouldn't go with Korum. A lot of people

1123
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:45.960
<v Speaker 4>last year thought Korum was gonna take over the job.

1124
00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:47.920
<v Speaker 4>I still don't think he's gonna take over the job.

1125
00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:54.599
<v Speaker 1>As Pharaoh would say, the gorilla adp on these guys

1126
00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:57.880
<v Speaker 1>right now in that Los Angeles Rams backfield. If I

1127
00:59:57.920 --> 00:59:59.960
<v Speaker 1>bring it up right now, I can tell you that

1128
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:03.559
<v Speaker 1>Kyron Williams obviously still going ahead of Blake Korum, but

1129
01:00:03.599 --> 01:00:07.079
<v Speaker 1>it is tighter. Still not that tight, but it's tighter.

1130
01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Kyron Williams running back sixteen at the three ten on average,

1131
01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Blake Korum running back thirty seven at the nine oh

1132
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:17.679
<v Speaker 1>two on average, So you're looking at about five rounds

1133
01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>just over maybe five and a half rounds of difference

1134
01:00:20.159 --> 01:00:23.119
<v Speaker 1>between those two. Don knowing that does does.

1135
01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:25.960
<v Speaker 4>That makes Korum a really good handcuff? Yeah, That's what

1136
01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I was just gonna because he could jump to being

1137
01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:37.480
<v Speaker 4>just as productive if the guy goes down. So there's that.

1138
01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that you know a lot of times people

1139
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>are just going to be like, well, I'll take the

1140
01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:47.079
<v Speaker 1>cheaper guy. And it's not really a case of that

1141
01:00:47.119 --> 01:00:49.639
<v Speaker 1>with Los Angeles yet. I mean, Kyron Williams is still

1142
01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:53.079
<v Speaker 1>the man, but that obviously that could change as we

1143
01:00:53.119 --> 01:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>get closer to draft season. We might get some some little,

1144
01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, nuggets on that. And you know, I can't

1145
01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:02.079
<v Speaker 1>remember who I think it was. It might have been

1146
01:01:02.119 --> 01:01:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Pat Krand from Legendary Upside, I can't remember, but you

1147
01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:08.199
<v Speaker 1>know he brought up like these the Shanahan, these McVeigh,

1148
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, those those those guys they talk about getting

1149
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, wanting to balance and not putting too much

1150
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>on one player in this backfield, and it seemingly every

1151
01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>single year they just all they do is just pile

1152
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>on with that right that's up running back. So that

1153
01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>could happen again with Kien Williams this year as well.

1154
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>One more email here for you, Don, and it is

1155
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:35.599
<v Speaker 1>from Larry and Naperville, Illinois. Love Naperville. Yes, Yes, fantastic,

1156
01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:39.599
<v Speaker 1>Larry writes, Don. Are you a believer or are you

1157
01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:44.679
<v Speaker 1>out on Marvin Harrison Junior? Marvin Harrison Junior in Big

1158
01:01:44.719 --> 01:01:47.519
<v Speaker 1>Gorilla Drafts? Right now at the moment, he has plummeted

1159
01:01:47.719 --> 01:01:52.199
<v Speaker 1>all the way down to wide receiver thirty one at

1160
01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the six eleven. It was not that long ago that

1161
01:01:55.039 --> 01:01:56.639
<v Speaker 1>this dude was the one oh one, the one o

1162
01:01:56.760 --> 01:02:01.199
<v Speaker 1>two in FFPC rookie drafts, and now two years later

1163
01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:04.199
<v Speaker 1>you can get him outside the top thirty receivers in

1164
01:02:04.239 --> 01:02:06.719
<v Speaker 1>the Big Gorilla Draft. Is that something that you want

1165
01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:09.039
<v Speaker 1>to be in business with this year? Don? Or? Are

1166
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you passing on Marvin Harrison?

1167
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:13.559
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm I'm passing on even at thirty one, I'm

1168
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:16.639
<v Speaker 4>passing on him. The quarterback wasn't throwing it to him

1169
01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:22.280
<v Speaker 4>last year even Yeah, so that it just I'm out

1170
01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:25.079
<v Speaker 4>on him. I think he'd be better off on another team.

1171
01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:29.199
<v Speaker 4>I think he's super talented, but it just Brissett doesn't

1172
01:02:29.239 --> 01:02:31.960
<v Speaker 4>throw it to himse throws to the other two guys, Wilson.

1173
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:34.559
<v Speaker 4>I'm in on Wilson because I can get him cheaper

1174
01:02:34.599 --> 01:02:38.000
<v Speaker 4>than that and he did better. And then I'm big

1175
01:02:38.039 --> 01:02:40.719
<v Speaker 4>on McBride. You know, of course, everybody is McBride's the

1176
01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:43.920
<v Speaker 4>first round guy, so if you get him, you can

1177
01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:46.400
<v Speaker 4>get him. Take him, but not Marvin Harrison.

1178
01:02:48.199 --> 01:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I will say this, and I brought this up in

1179
01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>my high Stake slowdown last night, and don I want

1180
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to get your thoughts on this. Brissette was unbelievable last year,

1181
01:02:57.039 --> 01:03:01.159
<v Speaker 1>uh with with the the amount of Fantasy points that

1182
01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>he was able to pile up with guys like McBride,

1183
01:03:04.440 --> 01:03:07.199
<v Speaker 1>Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison to an extent, I guess, but

1184
01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the first two McBride and Wilson were the big cogs.

1185
01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Let me throw this at you. This could be a

1186
01:03:13.400 --> 01:03:17.519
<v Speaker 1>season where the Cardinals are punting on the year right

1187
01:03:17.559 --> 01:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>where they. I know they drafted Carson back in the

1188
01:03:20.039 --> 01:03:21.679
<v Speaker 1>third round. They probably want to see what they have

1189
01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>on him in him. But next year the quarterback first

1190
01:03:25.840 --> 01:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>round should be fairly rich. And I know we've said

1191
01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:29.719
<v Speaker 1>this the last couple of years and it hasn't really

1192
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>panned out, But next year could be the year. I'm

1193
01:03:33.400 --> 01:03:36.559
<v Speaker 1>getting away from the point the problem I have with

1194
01:03:36.639 --> 01:03:41.119
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals Harrison included here. I worry about what would

1195
01:03:41.239 --> 01:03:45.159
<v Speaker 1>happen to this team if they're two and four heading

1196
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>into Alloween and they know that they're out of it,

1197
01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>given how tough the division they're in, with the Rams

1198
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Seahawks, with the two teams in the NFC

1199
01:03:56.440 --> 01:03:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Championship last year, the San Francisco forty nine ers who

1200
01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>had double digit and then I mean, what's what's the

1201
01:04:03.360 --> 01:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>reason why they would not give Carson Beck the opportunity

1202
01:04:07.159 --> 01:04:09.679
<v Speaker 1>to see what he can do? Uh? And that could

1203
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:13.159
<v Speaker 1>be disastrous for McBride, for Wilson, for Harrison and and

1204
01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>all these other Jeremi love what have you that. That's

1205
01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:20.039
<v Speaker 1>my hang up with the Cardinals right now in drafting them.

1206
01:04:20.519 --> 01:04:24.559
<v Speaker 1>I want to get your input on how you look

1207
01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>at it as it stands right now, knowing that, yeah,

1208
01:04:27.039 --> 01:04:30.159
<v Speaker 1>it's awesome with Brissette starting, but that might not be

1209
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:34.199
<v Speaker 1>a thing that we see all season long. You mentioned

1210
01:04:34.199 --> 01:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>you're out on Harrison, are you and and and you're

1211
01:04:37.400 --> 01:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>you're you're very positive about Wilson and McBride when you

1212
01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:43.599
<v Speaker 1>consider that aspect as well. Are you still, are those

1213
01:04:43.599 --> 01:04:45.599
<v Speaker 1>still players that you want to be drafting this year?

1214
01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:50.840
<v Speaker 4>No, you just now, you just now shook my world.

1215
01:04:51.079 --> 01:04:55.119
<v Speaker 4>I've never really considered that, but your you may well

1216
01:04:55.159 --> 01:04:57.920
<v Speaker 4>be right because they're in their division. Is is is

1217
01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:02.280
<v Speaker 4>a is a minefield, so they will be two and four,

1218
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:05.599
<v Speaker 4>two and seven, right, they will be that. And yeah,

1219
01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:07.559
<v Speaker 4>if they go put in Beck to see what he does,

1220
01:05:07.920 --> 01:05:10.519
<v Speaker 4>it ruins all of them. It could, it could, It

1221
01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:11.760
<v Speaker 4>could ruin all of them.

1222
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:18.280
<v Speaker 1>That's that's that's I think quarterback proof, guys. I think

1223
01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:21.159
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks could be the The issue with that, Pharah though,

1224
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>is when you think about mcbrideby and quarterback proof, think

1225
01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>about how And I know touchdowns are not sticky, so

1226
01:05:27.039 --> 01:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>maybe this isn't a very strong argument, but I'm gonna

1227
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:32.199
<v Speaker 1>say it anyway. This dude did not catch touchdowns at

1228
01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>all through college, through the pros, and then last year

1229
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:40.639
<v Speaker 1>when Brissette was throwing and until his shoulder felt like

1230
01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>my shoulder after disc golfing like parall That's that's how

1231
01:05:43.800 --> 01:05:46.039
<v Speaker 1>his shoulder felt at the at the end of every

1232
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals game because he was thrown at fifty sixty times

1233
01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:52.119
<v Speaker 1>a game. I wonder if we get to more of

1234
01:05:52.159 --> 01:05:56.039
<v Speaker 1>a normal offense in Arizona this year. If we see

1235
01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>McBride's touchdown total come down, he was unbelievable. F f

1236
01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>PC players still believe in him. Obviously at the slam

1237
01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:06.199
<v Speaker 1>dunk first round pick. You know my thoughts on McBride,

1238
01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and certainly he could have a big season this year.

1239
01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>But I'm telling you, I don't know if I'm right

1240
01:06:11.800 --> 01:06:15.239
<v Speaker 1>about this or not. But I will say, as far

1241
01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:19.519
<v Speaker 1>as the Mount rushmore of offenses to watch in twenty

1242
01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty six go, the Cardinals are right up there. Because

1243
01:06:21.840 --> 01:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how it's gonna go fair enough. I'll

1244
01:06:25.400 --> 01:06:28.199
<v Speaker 1>take that, Farrell, you will take that, and you will

1245
01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:32.239
<v Speaker 1>give the final question to one donald'connell tonight right.

1246
01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Now, we don I'll tell you what. They're gonna love

1247
01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:37.679
<v Speaker 3>you in Kentucky when you're gonna get here, we're gonna

1248
01:06:37.719 --> 01:06:40.880
<v Speaker 3>expect you to take a stand. And you haven't drafted

1249
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:43.639
<v Speaker 3>much there. You haven't drafted any this year, which makes

1250
01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:46.559
<v Speaker 3>it fantastic. We wanted to have somebody that came on

1251
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:50.800
<v Speaker 3>that that wasn't biased about all the drafts he's been doing.

1252
01:06:50.840 --> 01:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think you've done.

1253
01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:54.960
<v Speaker 3>A great job tonight, So tell us tell everyone that's

1254
01:06:55.039 --> 01:06:58.199
<v Speaker 3>drafted this player, the player they shouldn't have drafted, tell

1255
01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:01.159
<v Speaker 3>the mood is and then tell the player is you're

1256
01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:03.719
<v Speaker 3>going to target In every single.

1257
01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:10.079
<v Speaker 4>I'm I added I I did extra credit on this one.

1258
01:07:10.199 --> 01:07:16.159
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you a few. So I'm drafting Allan quarterback

1259
01:07:16.199 --> 01:07:21.119
<v Speaker 4>Alan or Lamar. I'm not drafting Love or Henry. I'm

1260
01:07:21.119 --> 01:07:22.639
<v Speaker 4>not drafting Jefferson.

1261
01:07:25.679 --> 01:07:27.960
<v Speaker 3>That's the Henry of the Baltimore.

1262
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Ravens for the Cardinals, Jeremiah Love for the Cardinals. I'm

1263
01:07:32.840 --> 01:07:37.320
<v Speaker 4>not drafting Travon he doesn't even have the job. I'm

1264
01:07:37.320 --> 01:07:39.639
<v Speaker 4>not drafting Kelsey or Andrews. Those are the guys I'm

1265
01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:42.079
<v Speaker 4>not drafting. And it's not because they're not any good.

1266
01:07:42.280 --> 01:07:44.079
<v Speaker 4>It's just that they're too expensive and I don't think

1267
01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:47.119
<v Speaker 4>they're going to be worth where they go. And then

1268
01:07:47.159 --> 01:07:51.760
<v Speaker 4>with quarterbacks, it's different though with me, Allan is worth it.

1269
01:07:52.079 --> 01:07:55.480
<v Speaker 4>But I don't like single quarterback teams because then I

1270
01:07:55.559 --> 01:08:00.159
<v Speaker 4>have to start that guy. I can never not start him.

1271
01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:03.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you can never make a decision. You can

1272
01:08:03.440 --> 01:08:06.000
<v Speaker 3>never play either or with Bonkie you want to play

1273
01:08:06.000 --> 01:08:06.400
<v Speaker 3>that either?

1274
01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Well no, but I mean there is something to be

1275
01:08:08.239 --> 01:08:11.079
<v Speaker 1>said for that because not only if you are drafting

1276
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:14.239
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen that high, you really don't have the opportunity

1277
01:08:14.320 --> 01:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to manipulate that position every week, but you're also soaking

1278
01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:21.880
<v Speaker 1>some serious draft capital. And whereas don like I think

1279
01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:23.319
<v Speaker 1>you and I are of one mind on how we

1280
01:08:23.359 --> 01:08:27.319
<v Speaker 1>treat quarterbacks and single quarterback leagues, I'm much more likely

1281
01:08:27.399 --> 01:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>after the top eleven or twelve guys are off the board,

1282
01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:32.239
<v Speaker 1>I'll go bang bang yeh quarterback and then try to

1283
01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>play matchups. Yeah, sometimes I'll get it wrong, but I

1284
01:08:34.880 --> 01:08:36.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like most of the time I'll get it right.

1285
01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:40.760
<v Speaker 1>And I think that is a better spenditure on draft

1286
01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:44.479
<v Speaker 1>capital at that position than drafting Allen early on.

1287
01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:47.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're right, we think about that the same. And

1288
01:08:47.319 --> 01:08:50.159
<v Speaker 4>then there's a time about six or seven years ago

1289
01:08:50.199 --> 01:08:53.479
<v Speaker 4>where I had Josh Allen and it was like the

1290
01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:56.359
<v Speaker 4>first week of the playoffs or the last week of

1291
01:08:56.399 --> 01:08:58.920
<v Speaker 4>the season, and they're playing like New England and it

1292
01:08:58.960 --> 01:09:00.319
<v Speaker 4>was a blizzard, and all he had had to do

1293
01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:02.760
<v Speaker 4>is get seven Fantasy points and he couldn't do it

1294
01:09:03.119 --> 01:09:06.600
<v Speaker 4>because the weather was so bad. They couldn't do it

1295
01:09:07.640 --> 01:09:10.760
<v Speaker 4>seven points. So I just said, you know, I put

1296
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:14.439
<v Speaker 4>myself in that position the best quarterback in the league,

1297
01:09:14.520 --> 01:09:18.279
<v Speaker 4>and he couldn't do seven because of weather, So don't

1298
01:09:18.279 --> 01:09:24.920
<v Speaker 4>put yourself in that position. Well, yeah, so then the

1299
01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:27.880
<v Speaker 4>guys I will draft, yeah, all over the place.

1300
01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>We already.

1301
01:09:28.800 --> 01:09:31.960
<v Speaker 4>You named them already. That's funny, Eric, you did that.

1302
01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:36.640
<v Speaker 4>Dak and Purdy and Kyler. I'll have them everywhere, and

1303
01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:38.960
<v Speaker 4>and Dart and an occasion, right, and I'll be flipped

1304
01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:41.680
<v Speaker 4>off between those guys everywhere. I'll have the I'll have

1305
01:09:41.720 --> 01:09:44.760
<v Speaker 4>two of them, Chase Brown, Breese Hall, I'm gonna have

1306
01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:49.960
<v Speaker 4>both those guys and a Dunsa and Abuca. Oh, those

1307
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:52.119
<v Speaker 4>are guys I'm gonna have everywhere.

1308
01:09:54.039 --> 01:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you just real quick on the on the O Dunes?

1309
01:09:56.800 --> 01:09:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I think because it seemed like it seems like a

1310
01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are Luther Burden and Colson Lovelins here,

1311
01:10:02.119 --> 01:10:05.479
<v Speaker 1>myself included. But oh, June's a I think a lot

1312
01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:07.479
<v Speaker 1>of people are down on him based on how he

1313
01:10:07.600 --> 01:10:10.039
<v Speaker 1>ended last season, but we forget he had the foot injury.

1314
01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that was a big contribution into why

1315
01:10:13.319 --> 01:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>he did not live up to expectations last year?

1316
01:10:16.680 --> 01:10:18.760
<v Speaker 4>I do, because I think foot injuries are super hard

1317
01:10:18.760 --> 01:10:21.359
<v Speaker 4>to heal from, and you just can't cut, you can't run.

1318
01:10:21.840 --> 01:10:25.119
<v Speaker 4>I've had foot injuries before, but now I'm old and

1319
01:10:25.159 --> 01:10:28.640
<v Speaker 4>I can't run anyway. But but.

1320
01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:32.720
<v Speaker 3>What keeps you off the ladder? The misses keeping you back?

1321
01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:37.920
<v Speaker 3>And you have something for you to work on on

1322
01:10:37.920 --> 01:10:41.840
<v Speaker 3>your way to Kentucky. This is Ounker Senior. We have

1323
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:45.439
<v Speaker 3>to squeeze the anchor to get into respond. This comes

1324
01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:49.800
<v Speaker 3>from the team that Hicks and Christian Great Fantasy Players

1325
01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:50.960
<v Speaker 3>here in Kentucky and.

1326
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:53.880
<v Speaker 1>The FFPC, and I would like you to.

1327
01:10:53.880 --> 01:11:00.159
<v Speaker 5>Get a a voice activated oinncher designed where when I

1328
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:04.399
<v Speaker 5>can just look at him and say squeal, he'll squeal.

1329
01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:06.239
<v Speaker 1>And are no longer squeezing.

1330
01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:10.880
<v Speaker 3>And that that that will sell. That invention will sell

1331
01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:15.239
<v Speaker 3>here in Kentucky, and you'll pay for the trip the.

1332
01:11:14.800 --> 01:11:18.520

01:12:28.800 --> 01:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>with him tonight, so we could have gone another hour

1360
01:12:31.920 --> 01:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>for sure with the rocket scientists. Not the first rocket

1361
01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:39.800

1362
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:45.399
<v Speaker 1>from him. Farrel. I will tell everybody this a cautionary tale.

1363
01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I was. I'm in the kf f SC Jack Tatum

1364

1367
01:13:03.239 --> 01:13:08.079
<v Speaker 1>best ball. Oh so I am scrambling right now. We're

1368
01:13:08.079 --> 01:13:12.399
<v Speaker 1>in round twenty two, I think, and I'm collecting kickers,

1369
01:13:12.479 --> 01:13:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm collecting defenses. I'm doing I love the team and

1370
01:13:16.520 --> 01:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I can still make this work even though

1371
01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I forgot about it. But but it let me tell

1372
01:13:21.760 --> 01:13:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you what a rush it is trying to figure this

1373
01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:27.039
<v Speaker 1>out at because I'm an idiot and I didn't check

1374
01:13:27.079 --> 01:13:31.039
<v Speaker 1>it out harder. But you know what's smart is I

1375

<v Speaker 1>I just want to let you know to real quick

1457
01:17:56.760 --> 01:18:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that the drafts, especially the slow drafts, but some of

1458
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the live ones as well. I don't you know. I

1459
01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>think like it's May six and then a lot of

1460
01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:11.279
<v Speaker 1>stuff is filling and that's true for the most part.

1461
01:18:11.319 --> 01:18:14.399
<v Speaker 1>But I will say the uptick in player support and

1462
01:18:14.439 --> 01:18:18.359
<v Speaker 1>thank you FFPC players. We have seen more live drafts

1463
01:18:18.359 --> 01:18:21.039
<v Speaker 1>and more slow drafts filling faster this year. The Big

1464
01:18:21.079 --> 01:18:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Gorilla has seen a huge search. I don't know if

1465
01:18:23.119 --> 01:18:26.359
<v Speaker 1>that's the early rampage, a rampage, excuse me, or whatever,

1466
01:18:26.920 --> 01:18:28.880
<v Speaker 1>but trust me, if you want to get in some

1467
01:18:29.039 --> 01:18:33.239
