00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:07,600
Hello everyone and welcome to a 
special 1st edition of In Season

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,520
ADP Chasing. 
We barely made it through one 

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,600
week and the Bank Examiner is 
already banging on my door for 

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,360
the Cooper Cup fade. 
The only thing I can do to keep 

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,640
him at Bay is to show him the 
Marvin Harrison Junior fade. 

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,200
Let's do it. 
ADP chasing is for when you 

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,040
watch ship chasing you go these 
guys are just football guys. 

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,240
And the targets for outrun 
leagues, that's going to be 

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,640
really nice. 
Actually back in if it's 

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,280
Austinette. 
It's stared to our crystal ball.

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,520
Close your eyes, you know all 
your entries are going to lose. 

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,840
Anyway, yeah, that's fair. 
This is a Deuce Vant show. 

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,240
It's. 
Anti cabal. 

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,080
It's anti the best ball thought 
leader. 

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,360
I'm obviously lying to some 
degree because like, I have a 

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,360
lot of both of these guys. 
It's the most disgusting thing 

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:56,920
you can make but man. 
Hey everyone, welcome. 

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,280
First episode of in season ADP 
chasing joined as always by 

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,160
Davis and Pat, who Pat is 
filming this using. 

20
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,320
Well, the bank examiner, Arthur 
Smith sent the bank examiner to 

21
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:11,840
Corrine's house. 
Cordero Patterson and Arthur 

22
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:13,800
Smith came to his house and took
his modem. 

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,160
Yeah, so, so my modem, so the 
modem thing is not a joke. 

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,560
I new new house, new new shed 
that I'm using as an office, 

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,880
same Internet. 
The Internet is going to 

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,160
probably go out. 
This thing I called yesterday 

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,520
and they're like, yeah, you're 
it's probably just like a 

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,080
totally bad modem. 
And I was like, great, I've had 

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,520
it for three days and I got to 
go. 

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,640
They were not going to send me a
new one. 

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,720
I got to go get one. 
So that's a fun, fun thing I get

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,600
to do today. 
In the meantime, I'll probably 

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,200
lose you guys at some point 
during this spot when it resets.

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,480
That's right. 
I mean, it really wouldn't be 

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,200
ADP chasing without someone 
having atrocious Wi-Fi like I 

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,360
had last week. 
Anyways, this this is going to 

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,280
be. 
Professional on this show, Sam. 

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,320
That is true. 
This show, this is going to be 

39
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,040
shocking people. 
This is actually going to be an 

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,560
attempt to keep this a clean one
hour in season show. 

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,600
We don't have time. 
It's not the offseason anymore 

42
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,400
to do the two hour rambling ADP 
chasing. 

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,800
So we're going to dive right 
into it. 

44
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:20,280
Let's go over first what the 
show format is going to be each 

45
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,240
week. 
We might iterate on this a 

46
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,120
little bit, but to start off 
we're going to have three 

47
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,440
categories of players that each 
one of us is going to come 

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,040
prepared to talk through. 
First, there's the victory 

49
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,840
lapping player. 
This is a player that basically 

50
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,720
we believe should be going way 
up in rest of season rankings 

51
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,880
after the previous week's 
performance. 

52
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,920
There's the bag defending 
player. 

53
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,320
This is probably a player that 
had a bad week and the market 

54
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,880
might be panicking on, but you 
are actually pretty confident in

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,720
them. 
You don't think the rest of 

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,080
season outlook should be two 
different after the week. 

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,480
And then finally, the panic 
button player. 

58
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,840
This is a player that you think 
should be moving down 

59
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,240
significantly and rest of season
rankings. 

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,840
That's it. 
Pretty straightforward. 

61
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,040
The last thing I'll add is that 
these takes don't have to line 

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,840
up with our offseason exposures.
It's certainly more fun if they 

63
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,960
do. 
If you want, that's how I 

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,960
approached it. 
I just want to say that like I 

65
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,720
approach this as it pertains to 
things I would have said on this

66
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,320
program for the last eight 
months and not necessarily a 

67
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,800
global, a global panic button or
global bag defend. 

68
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,920
That's fine. 
Yeah. 

69
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,880
So I think you can interpret it 
either way. 

70
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,600
I have some that are personal to
my exposures, some where I'm 

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,920
just kind of throwing out my 
exposures in the offseason and 

72
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,560
just talking through what I saw 
this past week. 

73
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,280
So we will, we will get to it. 
Let's dive in right away here, 

74
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,000
starting with the victory 
lapping player Davis. 

75
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,960
I'll give you the floor first. 
Who was the player that you 

76
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,360
think should be moving 
significantly up in rest of 

77
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,920
season rankings? 
So I'm actually not going to 

78
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,160
take the, I'm not going to take 
the easy way out here. 

79
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,800
I'm I'm not going to do worthy. 
I'm not going to do rushy Rice. 

80
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,160
I actually think it's Devin a 
chain. 

81
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,560
I I think a chain is the one 
where a chain, I mean, clearly I

82
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,320
think should have been going 
ahead of Jameer Gibbs and you 

83
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,760
know, pending the results that 
we see with breeze Ike right now

84
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,720
re draft league with your 
buddies, a chain or any of the 

85
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,520
back end of the first round wide
receivers. 

86
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,440
It's like it's like you are you 
are running to click accept 

87
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,000
before they change their mind 
about the back end of the first 

88
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,480
wide receivers. 
He ran 1515 of his routes. 

89
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,840
He ran as a wide receiver or as 
a a slot player. 

90
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Like not in the backfield. 52% 
of the Dolphin snaps had two 

91
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,720
running backs on the field. 
But I mean the the big the big 

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,160
one was there on the one yard 
line. 

93
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,960
Devin, a chain gets the one yard
touchdown. 

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,240
If a chain is getting 1 yard 
touchdowns and getting 7 

95
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,960
targets, I mean, he's going to 
he it it because he's just as 

96
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,920
efficient. 
I mean, I, I saw some of the 

97
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,960
boomers on Twitter take today. 
Oh, he's only Salfino tweeted 

98
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,840
this. 
He's only averaging 4.9 yards 

99
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:01,440
per carry over his last nine 
games. 

100
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,840
Only 4.9. 
A number that would make Joe 

101
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,960
Mixon blush. 
Joe Mixon would would sacrifice 

102
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,880
a family member to get the 4.9 
yards per carry a chain. 

103
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,480
Considering Mccaffrey's age, I 
think there there's a fairly 

104
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,080
good chance that he actually is 
just the number one player in 

105
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,920
fantasy Mostert left for. 
I keep seeing this. 

106
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,520
Mostert left for two series so I
keep seeing this. 

107
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,840
Oh Mostert was hurt, that's why.
Mostert left for two series, 2 a

108
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,600
chain. 
Yeah, I think is the biggest 

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,320
winner. 
I agree with this take and 

110
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,560
curious to get your thought on 
it. 

111
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,240
Pat as the the legendary upside 
guy, I think that there was some

112
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,320
maybe concern with a chain going
to the season where it's like, 

113
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,720
oh, he doesn't really have the 
pass catching thing. 

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,080
Does he really have the 
touchdown thinks the goal line 

115
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,000
role? 
But clearly both those 

116
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
indicators are extremely bullish
when you think through your 

117
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,600
legendary upside Screener. 
So just curious, your commentary

118
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,480
maybe specifically on the pass 
sketching stuff from a chain, 

119
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,160
how excited can we be about that
from the prior week? 

120
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,480
My main feeling is jealousy that
Davis got to make this take 

121
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,560
because I was also going to say 
a Chan, I think. 

122
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,320
So when I wrote up the legendary
scenarios, what jumped out to 

123
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,080
me? 
I always say I'm going to do it 

124
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,200
a little earlier every year, but
then the summer gets busy and I 

125
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,080
and I do it sort of towards the 
end of August. 

126
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,440
But one of the things I like 
about doing the article is that 

127
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,480
it does like make me rethink 
some things and kind of see 

128
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,480
things a little bit differently.
And one of the big things that 

129
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,080
jumped out to me this season was
that a chance path was really 

130
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,680
through the receiving game that 
he was, you know, both live. 

131
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,720
And probably the easiest way for
him to become a legendary back 

132
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,440
was for him to jump to where 
he's getting 4 plus receptions 

133
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,120
per game. 
And it seemed like they were 

134
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,080
pretty interested in him doing 
that. 

135
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320
And there there wasn't a clear 
third target there. 

136
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,280
And they've been talked up a 
lot. 

137
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:59,080
As a pass catcher, you often do 
get players getting talked up as

138
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,040
pass catchers in the offseason. 
It's kind of a trope. 

139
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,840
But second year players is where
we actually do see jumps in 

140
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,440
receiving usage. 
And given his explosiveness and 

141
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,040
Mcdaniel's creativity, it seemed
pretty, pretty plausible. 

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:17,280
So to me, him getting was it 7 
targets or seven receptions, 7 

143
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,080
receptions. 
Anyway, he, I mean, well, him 

144
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,000
getting the usage he got was 
extremely bullish in the 

145
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,360
receiving game and then like he 
was not efficient as a runner 

146
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,920
this past week, which I mean, to
me is just kind of hiding. 

147
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,600
Like I thought maybe I, you 
know, you guys wouldn't you 

148
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,040
wouldn't have this take like I 
did because he had -17 rush 

149
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,000
yards over expected he had a 33%
success rate. 

150
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,640
Those are both bad numbers, but 
we know that, you know, HN is 

151
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,080
explosive and will have better 
days as a runner. 

152
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:56,480
So to me, like the fact that he 
scored like 23 PPR points, well 

153
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,840
not playing. 
Good. 

154
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,280
Well, not even playing that 
good. 

155
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,440
Yeah, well, not playing good. 
This is what we need. 

156
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,200
Like that's the other thing from
a legendary running back. 

157
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,720
Like we're going to have the 
huge days, but like not that 

158
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,000
this was a floor because that 
many receptions is never a 

159
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,920
floor. 
But it it is nice that he didn't

160
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,360
even have to play good to have a
huge day on the touchdown thing.

161
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,080
I think he got that. 
My guess is he got that carry 

162
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,240
because so they call the play 
form at the at the. 

163
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,920
Three like that is. 
That's just as bullish. 

164
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,520
Well, that that is bullish. 
And then the fact that they were

165
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,559
like, let him punch it in like 
he got they didn't review it and

166
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,240
they could have reviewed it and 
they're like, let me let's just 

167
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,720
give him the touchdown and and 
then he got it like that all 

168
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,120
feels, I guess. 
I think he'll get sniped at the 

169
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,320
goal line pretty regularly 
still, but he's involved is is 

170
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,680
kind of my take away my play. 
Exactly. 

171
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,800
I, I think it's like, call it 
5050 at the goal line or 

172
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,760
something if you want. 
I, I don't expect HN to have 

173
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,200
like a lock on the goal line 
roll, but they're not subbing 

174
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,000
them out intentionally at the 
goal line either. 

175
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,360
So I think that's really, really
bullish. 

176
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,240
And then, yeah, just clearing up
the stat line. 

177
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,160
He had 7 targets and seven 
receptions. 

178
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,880
He caught all seven of them. 
I think like if I was pouring 

179
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,880
cold water on this take just to 
say the other side, I do think 

180
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,680
some concerns about the Miami 
offensive line came to fruition 

181
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,400
this past week. 
They struggled a little bit, but

182
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,840
if that means they're just going
to get a chain more involved. 

183
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,120
In the screen. 
Exactly. 

184
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,040
Yeah, they're going to use them 
as an extension of the running 

185
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,040
game in the screen game sort of 
more creative touches than 

186
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,200
traditional running back 
carries. 

187
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,440
That's not necessarily a bad 
thing. 

188
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,960
So yeah, this this take, I think
all three of us fully endorse 

189
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,480
Pat, I know this was yours that 
you wanted to give. 

190
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,720
Did you have another victory 
lapping take that you wanted to 

191
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,120
give a player that you think 
should be going way up the 

192
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,000
rankings after this past week? 
Yeah, so now I'm going to pivot.

193
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,400
So this isn't actually a player 
that I was that in on. 

194
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,480
So I don't know if I'm victory 
lap, I'm take take your laps if 

195
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,760
you this is like. 
What I thought of this Pat is 

196
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,600
like a victory lap for the 
listeners, right? 

197
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,200
It it doesn't have to be your 
victory lap. 

198
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,960
It's like people who have this 
guy should be victory lapping if

199
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,160
you want to think about it like 
that. 

200
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,200
OK, OK, well I was. 
Maybe I'll just switch into a So

201
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,000
the panic button has to be 
someone who's going lower? 

202
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,400
Or can it be someone I'm 
panicking on for not having 

203
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,160
enough of and someone should go 
lower? 

204
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,760
Panic button is someone that 
should be going way lower. 

205
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Way lower. 
If we drafted again today, 

206
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,880
they're going way lower. 
Yeah. 

207
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,320
I'll do, I'll do Saquon Barkley 
'cause that he was gonna be my 

208
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,600
panic button for me panicking. 
But Barkley, I think take your 

209
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,720
victory laps on him. 
When I was fading Barkley, which

210
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,320
I very much did, I was basically
like, all right, it's not that 

211
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,360
he can't have a great season. 
It's that he's expensive and he 

212
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,160
got to he's got to hit this 
parlay. 

213
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,280
He's got to in year 7 recapture 
efficiency. 

214
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,360
He hasn't really had since his 
rookie year. 

215
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,400
He's he's got to hope the tush 
push is is an absolute joke 

216
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,760
without Kelsey, which like, come
on, they're going to figure out 

217
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,360
how to do that and that won't be
a problem. 

218
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,480
You know, you know, he's like 
he's got it. 

219
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,560
He's got to get that the, you 
know, the awesome usage in an 

220
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,360
offense that hasn't really 
incorporated the running back 

221
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,040
that way. 
DeAndre Swift, you know, was not

222
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,520
used a ton as a receiver there. 
That's kind of his thing. 

223
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,240
And and yet he wasn't. 
So like it's isn't Hertz just 

224
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,080
going to push the ball down 
field and everything? 

225
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,640
Like is he really going to be 
able to be the focal point of 

226
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,960
this offense? 
That doesn't make sense. 

227
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,240
So that was kind of the parlay I
was betting against. 

228
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,040
Looks like parlay's hitting 
push, push. 

229
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,160
They can't even snap it. 
You know, there was the Kelsey 

230
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,600
thing was supposed to be that he
was going to be able to like 

231
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,960
push forward. 
They can't even snap the ball to

232
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,200
Hertz. 
So push, push dead. 

233
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:44,560
You know, Barkley looked 
awesome. 

234
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,320
He had 27 rushers over expected.
He had a 50% success rate. 

235
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,120
So the efficiency was really 
nice. 

236
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,560
I think one of the the great 
things for Berkeley is that he 

237
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:59,680
saw stacked boxes just 25% of 
the time. 

238
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,080
You know, like Gus Edwards was 
at 45. 

239
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,000
For comparison, Bijan was at 39.
So, you know, if you're if you 

240
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,440
were saying, hey, Pat, don't 
worry about the efficiency, it's

241
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,400
going to be better because he's 
going to go to the Eagles and 

242
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,960
they're not going to be able to 
account for him. 

243
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,160
That looks pretty good. 
And then they used him a bunch. 

244
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,280
You know, he was kind of like 
the the focal point in some 

245
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,000
ways. 
I mean, not totally the the 

246
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,720
receivers and A.J. 
Brown slot a great game and 

247
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,560
everything, but it it looked a 
little bit more like like a 

248
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:32,880
Saquon offense than I. 
Really thought it could. 

249
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,680
Can I be the the voice of the 
chasers? 

250
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,560
Now? 
Can I be the voice of the person

251
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,320
who who is freaking out? 
Saquon Barkley's individual 

252
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,120
brilliance has actually never 
really been the issue. 

253
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,560
Like, even when he was, you 
know, just toiling away in the 

254
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,760
minds of Moria in New York, I 
don't think anyone ever 

255
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,800
seriously thought he wasn't a 
good player. 

256
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,960
I think that one week of the 
tush push not working to the 

257
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,320
degree that they thought. 
I don't really. 

258
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,760
Think that they thought. 
Yeah, but they thought it would 

259
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,520
just be as effective that that 
they basically thought like. 

260
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,200
I was. 
I'm not, I'm not, I, I really, 

261
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,880
I'm really, I'm really not 
sweating it. 

262
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,520
And, and I think that this will 
also continue to be, I think 

263
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,880
that this will continue to be 
relatively speaking, a low 

264
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,840
volume offense. 
The way that Anthony Richardson 

265
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,840
just had 40 or the Colts just 
had 41 pass plays. 

266
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,640
I know they played quickly. 
I know Kellen Moore I like I I 

267
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,480
thought the early returns from 
Kellen Moore were pretty great, 

268
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:43,280
but I think this could end up 
being more of a even even 

269
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,880
considering the three touchdowns
he already has. 

270
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,040
If Barkley ended with 12 
touchdowns, I'm not super 

271
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,120
surprised. 
Again, I think pretty clearly we

272
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,760
were wrong. 
The the one play being evidence 

273
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,600
that we were wrong. 
DeAndre Swift never would have 

274
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,560
gotten that receiving touchdown 
with Saquon Barkley. 

275
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:02,880
They never would have called 
that for him. 

276
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,880
They never would have called it 
for gain. 

277
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,760
Well, they never would have 
called it for for whoever that 

278
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,200
that is. 
That usage right there is the 

279
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,120
number one like all right, well,
we really might be wrong. 

280
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:14,720
That's the point I wanted to to 
get to. 

281
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,440
And again, I just think I can't 
say that I was taking a ton of 

282
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,480
Barkley. 
I was really skeptical of the 

283
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,600
arguments that oh, his yards for
route run was terrible the past 

284
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,920
couple years. 
Thus he's a bad receiver. 

285
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,800
He's he's a running back that 
gets used downfield in the 

286
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,320
passing game. 
That's something that jumps out 

287
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,640
in his profile that he 
consistently has a positive A 

288
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,240
dot, whereas tons of running 
backs have negative A dot. 

289
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,320
SO I always thought he was a 
receiving weapon. 

290
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,560
Clearly Daniel Jones in New York
was not able to unlock that, 

291
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,200
even though, you know, Eli 
Manning clearly was his rookie 

292
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,680
year. 
So I I guess I did see the 

293
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,640
upside with Barclays receiving 
more. 

294
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,720
And again, he just had two 
targets in week 1. 

295
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,000
So let's not go crazy and say 
that that piece was fully 

296
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,400
unlocked. 
But he did have an A dot of 12 

297
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,720
on those two receptions, mostly 
because of that end zone target 

298
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,480
that was down the field. 
But yeah, again, I wish, I wish 

299
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,320
I'd drafted more Barkley. 
I I had a soft fate on him and 

300
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,560
he's I agree with Pat that he's 
a guy that I would be moving up 

301
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,520
my rest of season rankings 
considerably just because of the

302
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,080
tush push element. 
And the fact that I do think 

303
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,960
it's he's not just, you know, a 
DeAndre Swift, Miles Sanders 

304
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,720
level talent. 
He is a top five running back 

305
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,720
talent in the NFL still, even 
though his efficiency stuff 

306
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,000
looked bad the past couple 
years. 

307
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,240
So I think we got to pay 
attention to that on one of the 

308
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,560
best offenses in the NFL with 
the Eagles. 

309
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,600
Yeah, I mean, he, The thing is 
like in Best Ball he was a lot 

310
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,680
cheaper. 
But in FFPC we're out in Vegas 

311
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,800
and he's going at like the 1-2 
turn. 

312
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,240
You know, he he was going ahead 
of Gibbs and head of JT and 

313
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,680
stuff and that I'm still pretty 
comfortable fading. 

314
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,400
But it's the best Ball stuff 
where, you know, you could get 

315
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,600
them in the late 2nd a decent 
amount 2-3 turn. 

316
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,000
And I was kind of like, that's 
where I feel like, you know, if 

317
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,760
you're getting him there, you're
feeling really good. 

318
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,760
Got it. 
Let's move on here to my victory

319
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,560
lap player again, This is this 
is not a guy that I was fully in

320
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,920
on. 
He was someone that I really 

321
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,160
came around to late in the 
process the past couple weeks. 

322
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,680
It's JK Dobbins. 
I think we have to be moving 

323
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Dobbins way, way up the rankings
after this past week. 

324
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,400
Look, here's the here's the 
isn't real quick, isn't it? 

325
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,160
He is who we thought he was. 
Did anyone think Dobbins was 

326
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,200
going to play bad? 
I think dude, I, I dude. 

327
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,720
Well, OK. 
I'm going off the 20 kill. 

328
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,200
He's like, yeah, I wasn't sure 
how much he would play. 

329
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,480
Yeah, coming off the torn 
Achilles, I just had no idea how

330
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,160
he was going to look. 
There's so many running backs 

331
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,960
that come off that injury and do
not look like the same player at

332
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,760
all. 
We we had Cam Akers that season 

333
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,040
where he rushed back, came back 
to the playoffs. 

334
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,240
He had like 20 carries for 40 
yards in the playoff games. 

335
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,960
Like had no bursts at all. 
Like JK Dobbins still has that 

336
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,920
short area burst. 
I watched all of his rushes from

337
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,720
this past week over the last 
couple hours. 

338
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,800
Yeah, but yeah, his his short 
area burst looks really good. 

339
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,359
Obviously, like on that big run 
he had, he got caught from 

340
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,400
behind. 
Like his long speed. 

341
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,800
I think it's that same issue we 
saw a couple years ago. 

342
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,079
His long speed's not all the way
back, but his ability to read a 

343
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:32,920
hole and make a decision and and
get like those 510 yard chunk 

344
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,160
plays is there. 
And I don't know, it's just like

345
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,280
at the price that we got him at 
pick 14150 way, way later than 

346
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,560
that earlier in the offseason. 
I think he's a guy that has to 

347
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:48,760
be moving up to your rankings 
around 80, 80s and 90s, 

348
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,360
something like that. 
I, I still think there's a 

349
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:52,440
concern. 
Can he hold up over the full 

350
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,520
season? 
So I'm not going overboard with 

351
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:54,760
this. 
I. 

352
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,280
Mean I, I basically just think 
we know the answer to that and 

353
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,760
the answer is no. 
I, I think I think the answer to

354
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,960
can JK Dobbins with his mismatch
size calves hold up for the 

355
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,720
whole season? 
I, I, I think it's just no, I 

356
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,120
just think he. 
Can't but does he need to like 

357
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,440
he already like in in best ball 
stuff? 

358
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,640
I mean, I know we don't want 
zeros at the end and everything,

359
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:17,760
but like this dude, I mean, the 
look, I completely in early 

360
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,680
offseason, I completely faded 
Dobbins because I was like, he's

361
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,440
coming off the torn to kill. 
He's like, what are we doing? 

362
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,080
But then just the reports were 
like, yeah, he's like very much 

363
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,040
a part of their plans and he 
looks pretty solid. 

364
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,000
And so I finally came around and
like started taking some of 

365
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,080
them. 
But I often did pair him with 

366
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:39,320
Fidel and like to me like that 
feels really good like that. 

367
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,600
That's a victory lap. 
You know, I'd be happy to take 

368
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,080
if it no doubt. 
You know, if if Dobbins bridges 

369
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,560
me to Videl, like at this, at 
the price you got Dobbins, he's 

370
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,120
not far from already paying off 
like he might be like a game 

371
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,320
from paying off for like what 
you're really looking for for 

372
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,880
those. 
Picks that that I agree with. 

373
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:57,920
Yeah, that, that's what I'm 
saying. 

374
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,160
Yeah. 
Go ahead, Davis. 

375
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,520
We said that on this program, 
like we're doing the big board 

376
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,360
and we're like, we would rather 
die than take JK Dobbins and buy

377
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,320
August 1st. 
We were like, yeah, you just got

378
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,960
to be buying. 
You got to be buying Dobbins on 

379
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,640
the way up right now. 
Like 0 Edwards, all Dobbins, all

380
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,560
by Dell. 
Like what I think this is, I 

381
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,400
mean, I don't disagree that he 
should be moving up, but like, 

382
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,960
that was kind of what I expected
from them in week 1 was for him 

383
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,720
to only get like 13 touches but 
look really good on the ones he 

384
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,200
did. 
Yeah. 

385
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,680
I guess we just, I want to give 
him a little bit more credit, 

386
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:35,200
Like 10 carries for 135 yards is
insane according to NFL Next 

387
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:35,880
Gen. 
Stats. 

388
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,920
Plus 10 rush yards over expected
per attempt. 

389
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,520
Like obviously that's. 
You know one. 11 big run in 

390
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,160
there excuse that for sure, but 
the other side of this is Gus 

391
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,880
Edwards looked Gus Edwards 
looked really rough 11 carries 

392
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,240
for 26 yards. 
He had no burst. 

393
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,200
He had he had no touches where 
he got over 15 mph. 

394
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,480
Dobbins had two he he was 
negatives and the rush yards 

395
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,880
over expected stuff. 
So I, I think this committee is 

396
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,320
kind of going One Direction and 
that's gonna be. 

397
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,200
Phase like phasing out Edwards, 
bringing on Dobbins, hopefully 

398
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,880
Videl a little bit later in the 
season. 

399
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,440
So yeah, I I guess like maybe 
this is hot, hot Takey, but I 

400
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,680
think I would rank Dobbins in in
the 80s nineties. 

401
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,400
If I was doing rest of season 
rankings again, I'd have to go 

402
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,800
through all that stuff. 
But that's like in my head, that

403
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,200
seems right about right after 
that week 1 performance. 

404
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,800
All right, let's move on. 
Let's move on here to the bag 

405
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:37,960
defending takes. 
Again, this is a player that 

406
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,400
maybe the market is panicking 
on. 

407
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,960
They're moving down in the 
DraftKings best ball 

408
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,000
tournaments, which have launched
by the way, you can draft on 

409
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,520
DraftKings best ball Week 2 to 
the end of the season, and 

410
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,080
there's AD PS for that. 
So yeah, a player that maybe the

411
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,920
market is panicking on you're 
not worried about will do 

412
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,760
slightly different order here. 
Give it to Crane first for his 

413
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:08,520
bag defending take. 
So the what I guess I would just

414
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,360
say upfront is that I think we 
probably should be bad defending

415
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:15,960
like a fair amount of things 
this year this week or like 

416
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,280
we're it is noisy. 
So we are going to we are going 

417
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,520
to see a bunch of takes that 
looks silly in retrospect 

418
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,440
because of one game that didn't 
go perfectly. 

419
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,360
We all have very high 
expectations entering season for

420
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:32,200
all of our favorite players. 
I'll say Dowdle. 

421
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,640
I'm also going to cheat and 
throw on someone else in a 

422
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,200
second. 
But yeah, I'll see. 

423
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,280
Rico Dowdell, where you've got 
Ezekiel Elliott in this game 

424
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,320
looked absolutely putrid. 
He had -17 rush yards over 

425
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,240
expected and a 10% success rate.
So that means he had one 

426
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,440
positive attempt because he got 
10 attempts. 

427
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,560
So one of them went well and the
rest were bad. 

428
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,400
Now you are going to have issues
with Elliott stealing goal line 

429
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:08,080
work and everything. 
But the fact that the Dallas 

430
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:13,080
Cowboys offense put it on the 
Browns, who are supposed to have

431
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,960
this elite defense. 
We you know, how many times did 

432
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,080
I have to hear about the, the, 
the, the vibes. 

433
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,880
The Cowboys vibes are off. 
It's the the worst vibes in the 

434
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,480
league the the offensive line is
bad. 

435
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,200
Now, well they they did find a 
team with worse vibes. 

436
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,440
They did. 
They did happen to. 

437
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Find yeah, they found a team 
with worse wives, dude, yeah, 

438
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,160
that's it. 
It's a it's a vibe. 

439
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,520
Seance it's over. 
They they got rid of it. 

440
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,680
So the I mean, this was very 
bullish to me for the Cowboys 

441
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,080
offense for them, the ability to
put up points. 

442
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,240
It didn't go through the running
game and it often won't go 

443
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,600
through the running game. 
But like Dauda was so cheap and 

444
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,840
you're betting and part a big, 
big part of the bet was that the

445
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,880
the competition was washed. 
Dalman Cook couldn't get himself

446
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,560
off the practice squad in Week 
1, and Ezekiel Elliott looked as

447
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,320
washed as ever. 
Part of my my case for Elliot is

448
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,720
like being OK was that his 
access rate was still good last 

449
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,560
year. 
It was not good this past week. 

450
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,960
It's only week Week 1. 
But this was, I think, sneaky 

451
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,920
good for Dowdell's ability to 
mix in some spike weeks 

452
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,680
throughout the season, which is 
pretty sweet. 

453
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,960
You know when you're getting him
outside the top 100 picks. 

454
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,560
Yeah, I'll second that take. 
And I think just like adding a 

455
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,000
small part to it, the part I 
never got about the Rico Dowdle 

456
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:42,400
haters is that I got him this 
offseason from an ADP of like 

457
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,200
one Ed in the big board to like 
a peak of 120 at the very end 

458
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,320
there. 
But most of the exposure was 

459
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,880
like one 30s, one 40s. 
If he starts the season in like 

460
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,600
a 6040 committee where Zeke is 
the only impediment, like I 

461
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,560
don't get how that's a bad 
thing. 

462
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,560
Like he drafted so many running 
backs around pick 13140 that do 

463
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,080
not have week 1 roles. 
Tyler Algier, Zach Charbonnet, 

464
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,680
like that's like handcuff 
territory. 

465
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,360
So if kind of the worst case for
Dowdle is he just looks like the

466
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:15,560
handcuffed a Zeke week 1. 
Like, why is that some end of 

467
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,600
the world thing? 
I I don't get the the Rico 

468
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,200
Dowdle Fader's victory lapse. 
So yeah, I'll second Pat's take 

469
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,400
there that, you know, maybe if 
you had a move. 

470
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:30,800
Yeah, go. 
Ahead, which yes he was you know

471
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,040
for the potential like for a 
clear cut hand just for a clear 

472
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,520
cut handcuff alone. 
We thought we were getting that 

473
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,240
Blake quorum turns out Ronnie 
Rivers might be involved there. 

474
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,000
You know, but like when you get 
the clear cut handcuff, that 

475
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,960
alone is kind of like starts to 
become interesting around round 

476
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,720
10 maybe, you know, round 11. 
And so the premium you're paying

477
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,240
on just getting the handcuff in 
Dallas was basically nothing. 

478
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,760
And so I mean, he was incredibly
cheap. 

479
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,600
He was incredibly cheap. 
Yeah, Davis, anything to add on 

480
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:10,000
Rico Dattle or? 
I mean it like Zeke getting a 

481
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,920
touchdown in a victory and pass 
blocking well is definitely not 

482
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,720
what you want. 
It's not perfect. 

483
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,440
It's, it's, it's it's not, it's 
not what you want. 

484
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,680
I mean, I think that it's this 
argument is going to sound what 

485
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,600
is very similar to what I'm 
about to say for my bag 

486
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,320
defending take. 
But it's basically that you 

487
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,320
still have the player who is 
more likely to add fantasy 

488
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,400
points over expectation versus 
the player that is going to 

489
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,800
score fantasy points below 
expectation, which is what we 

490
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,560
are going to see from Zeke. 
Zeke Will like, you know, every 

491
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,040
game it'll be, oh, he gets, he 
gets 14 expected points and he 

492
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,040
will score 12.3. 
And maybe Dowdell will only be a

493
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,400
complimentary player or maybe he
won't because the offense, I 

494
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,680
mean, Jalen Tolbert was like 
nothing yesterday. 

495
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,400
Jake Ferguson is injured. 
They like, they're not going to 

496
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,240
have cakewalks like they will. 
We're basically maybe the maybe 

497
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,480
the maybe the Browns defense is 
good, but they just were having 

498
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,960
to play uphill the whole game 
because the offense kept putting

499
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,760
them in those holes. 
There will be spots that the 

500
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,880
Cowboys need a little bit more 
magic basically. 

501
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,920
And and Dowdell is much more 
likely to add that efficiency 

502
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,200
than Ezekiel Elliott is. 
Agreed and. 

503
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,400
It's a long season, That's it. 
People are, you know, Zeke 

504
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,040
equals points who never said it 
would look good. 

505
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,560
I thought it looked better than 
that, honestly. 

506
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000
So that's where you're, you 
know, the idea. 

507
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,640
I guess what I would and I would
also push back. 

508
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,560
Someone said it was the most 
expensive of the handcuffs. 

509
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,560
I think it's a pretty big 
difference between a handcuff, 

510
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,800
which I would say Tyler Algier 
is Braylon Allen is right, and a

511
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,600
guy who's in an ambiguous 
backfield. 

512
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,280
And I think maybe this is 
probably always a big part of 

513
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,200
the Dowdle disagreement that we 
had, you know, as drafters. 

514
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,520
But like, to me, this is very 
clearly much more like a Zach 

515
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,280
Moss than a Braylon Allen as far
as bets go, or like a Chase 

516
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,960
Brown. 
This is an ambiguous backfield. 

517
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:10,360
It's much similar to Gus 
Edwards, JJK, Dobbins, you know 

518
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:13,680
those types of bets. 
So it didn't hit in huge way 

519
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,760
Week 1, but Zeke did not 
solidify the role that I kind of

520
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,960
am not counting on and like very
much not counting on him holding

521
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,520
for the full season in a in a 
true lead back kind of way. 

522
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,360
Yeah, and also the the bad vibes
in Dallas stuff. 

523
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,440
Dak got paid, CD got paid. 
I think we can maybe move on 

524
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,720
from bad vibe season in Dallas I
think. 

525
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,120
The vibes are better. 
Yeah, people were far, far 

526
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:45,760
overblowing that situation. 
I'll move on here to my bag 

527
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,960
defending take. 
This was a guy, again, not a 

528
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,240
guy. 
This was this was not like a 

529
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,160
Bang Bank Examiner player for 
me. 

530
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:57,200
I didn't have 20% plus exposure,
but I had a decent bit of tight 

531
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,120
end Trey McBride. 
I checked. 

532
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:02,920
I had 11% of Trey McBride. 
He's a guy that I'm actually 

533
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,080
really excited about after week 
1. 

534
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,280
He's dropped like 6-7 spots in 
the DraftKings rest of season 

535
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,720
rankings after kind of a quiet 
week 1 performance. 

536
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,520
I think people in general may be
panicking a little bit about the

537
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,640
lead tight ends, but I thought 
his usage looked really good in 

538
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,240
week 1. 
He had really a 30% target share

539
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,960
in in that week. 
He also was used in both the 

540
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,400
short area and got chances for 
big splash plays deep. 

541
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,280
There were two plays after 
watching his targets for the 

542
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,320
past week where Kyler just 
barely missed him on deep 

543
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,200
completions that could have been
30-40 yard plays. 

544
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,840
There was a deep crosser where 
he was open and Kyler missed 

545
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,240
him. 
They tried to hit him on a deep 

546
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,600
seam and Kyler under threw him 
again. 

547
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,560
Maybe you could say that that's 
part of the problem is that 

548
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,320
Kyler has never really been a 
successful passer in getting the

549
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,080
ball down the field. 
But even that, I think is 

550
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,120
slightly bullish for McBride. 
He's going to be the guy that 

551
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,320
gets the easy button stuff 
underneath along with Greg 

552
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,000
Dorch. 
And yeah, we maybe don't have to

553
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,760
go fully into this side of 
things, but people I think were 

554
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,240
worried about Trey McBride 
because they saw Marvin Harrison

555
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,320
Junior as a guy that would 
immediately come in, get a 30% 

556
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,320
target share and kind of push 
him aside. 

557
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,520
I think there's enough concern 
about what we saw in Marvin 

558
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,080
Harrison in week one that I 
think Trey McBride, I feel 

559
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,040
better about him being the 
primary pass catcher in this 

560
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,240
offense, at least for a good 
stretch of the season. 

561
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,400
So yeah, if I'm, if I'm buying 
low on one of these elite tight 

562
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,720
ends, Trey McBride is the guy 
that I'm going after. 

563
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,600
He's young, still think he 
showed a ton of bursts in Week 

564
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,240
1. 
And I'm not overreacting too 

565
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,040
much to kind of a weak box box 
score. 

566
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,440
He was like 2 near misses away 
from just like smashing. 

567
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,760
Like he very easily could have 
been the recipient of the 

568
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,680
touchdown on the Kyler scramble 
drill. 

569
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,560
I, I, I've seen this take 
floating around this morning 

570
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,600
that people were like 
disappointed with how Kyler 

571
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,280
played like Kyler like had them 
in a position to win a road game

572
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,600
against the team that is third 
in the odds to win the Super 

573
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,400
Bowl and like scrambled pretty 
well. 

574
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,920
Like played pretty effectively. 
I, I guess you could be, you 

575
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,360
could be fairly upset that they,
they didn't get the win in the 

576
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,880
end. 
But yeah, I, I, if you could get

577
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,720
McBride in any of your home 
leagues or I mean, even die if 

578
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,840
there's a Bilo window in dynasty
right now, like like this is a, 

579
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:28,400
this is a great, this is a great
time to, to be selling picks to 

580
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,640
2025 picks because everyone's 
watching these college games and

581
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,040
Ashton Gene T is on pace for 
like 9,000,000 yards and things 

582
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,600
like that. 
I, I would be trying to acquire 

583
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,840
McBride and, and to be honest, 
the, the Marv stuff is like, 

584
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,480
that's just going to, that's 
just going to take care of 

585
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,200
itself. 
Like Greg Dorch is probably a 

586
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,040
better and more professional 
wide receiver than him at this 

587
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,040
point. 
But as Greg Dorch's biggest fan,

588
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,000
you you can't build the whole 
plane out of Greg Dorch throws. 

589
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,280
Pat Any. 
Yeah, I mean Harrison not 

590
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,080
hitting the ground running. 
I think Harrison not hitting the

591
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,640
ground running is is good for 
him. 

592
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,640
I you know, I think that for bag
defending Harrison, that would 

593
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,720
also make sense where, you know,
although he was very heralded, I

594
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,520
expected his debut to be better.
He's a rookie wide receiver and 

595
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,320
so we shouldn't judge his career
off of one game or even his 

596
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,960
rookie season off of his first 
game. 

597
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,800
So I do think that McBride 
probably does face headwinds 

598
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,720
from Harrison at some point. 
But certainly this is bullish 

599
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,800
that that Harrison wasn't 
immediately like the key to the 

600
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,760
offense that they're, you know, 
the engine of the offense. 

601
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,520
Yeah, I'd also just encourage 
Hayden Winks in his not, not his

602
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,040
main Twitter account. 
I think he has one called Winks 

603
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,200
tape. 
He did an interesting cut up of 

604
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,120
Marvin Harrison's routes from 
week one. 

605
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,880
Just just some some weird stuff 
going on there. 

606
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,040
I'm I'm definitely not 
overreacting to that too much. 

607
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,120
I still think Marvin Harrison's 
going to have a good season, but

608
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,880
it was it wasn't ugly to debut. 
It's fair to say that it was a 

609
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,680
pretty, pretty bad debut for 
Marvin Harrison. 

610
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,760
So it's just something worth 
noting, something to keep track 

611
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,520
of. 
Davis, I'll give it to you for 

612
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:14,960
your bag defending player. 
Yeah, I mean, look, I think 

613
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,840
people probably want me to be 
like, oh, Chase Brown, He's 

614
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,440
going zero. 
He he doesn't have a role. 

615
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,200
That really was not my 
perception of the game. 

616
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,920
He actually played on more of 
the passing downs than I thought

617
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,960
he would. 
Now like the obvious pass 

618
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,880
blocking spots. 
Zac Moss came in, but it seemed 

619
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,960
like they made a real seemed 
like they made a real effort to 

620
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,720
get him the ball as a receiver. 
I mean, I think you probably 

621
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,720
would have, you probably would 
have preferred for him there for

622
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,840
Zach Moss to not be efficient 
with the one goal line touch 

623
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,840
that he did. 
But it's also like, you know, I 

624
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,920
I'm familiar with Zach Moss's 
work. 

625
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,960
Like, I think Zach Moss is a 
perfectly competent NFL running 

626
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:00,120
back, but he's not very similar 
to how Pat feels about Zeke. 

627
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Like, Moss is not going to be 
the straw that stirs the drink 

628
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,920
and all. 
I mean, does Chase Brown have 

629
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,200
the greatest vision in the 
world? 

630
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,800
Obviously not. 
There was one run where he could

631
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,960
have cut it to the outside and 
he had a bunch of space and he 

632
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,080
did not do that. 
It was sort of Trent Richardsony

633
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,480
where he just went right into 
the right in the line. 

634
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,880
And I mean, also like we were 
making fun of the Browns for 

635
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,200
having bad vibes. 
The Bengals, I guess the Bengals

636
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,880
don't have they like their 
quarterback, like their 

637
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,480
quarterback is like a a person 
that people like. 

638
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,000
But I mean, the shit, I'm going 
to forget the name of the guy. 

639
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,560
Someone just posted a podcast 
this morning that Joe Goodberry 

640
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,400
was doing quotes from where it 
was someone who was in the camp 

641
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,160
with like talking to Jamar 
Chase's camp. 

642
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,800
And Jamar Chase's camp was like,
this shit sucks, dude. 

643
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,880
Like he's having a bad time. 
He would like to get paid. 

644
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,360
The Bengals basically don't have
the cash on hand to pay him. 

645
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,680
Everyone kind of knows that. 
So it just sucks. 

646
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:01,920
Like it the the the it's it's 
bad. 

647
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,360
Davis, I have I have a question 
for you. 

648
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,040
Are you doing the the the wind 
horse meme with the T Higgins 

649
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,320
hamstring injury at all? 
Like do you think? 

650
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,280
Oh. 
Do you think there's anything 

651
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,480
there? 
No, no. 

652
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,600
I'm saying that like you look at
all the wide receivers. 

653
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,199
It all fell apart without them, 
Sam. 

654
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,320
It fell apart without them. 
That's that's very curious. 

655
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,120
But the angle I was going with 
is that literally all the wide 

656
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,440
receivers in Higgins and Chase's
draft class have gotten the bag.

657
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,719
Ayuk, Amanra, Jefferson, Devonta
Smith, Nico Collin, you can name

658
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,280
any good wide receiver. 
Even even Jerry Judy got a bag 

659
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,360
from that draft class and these 
two guys are way better. 

660
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,400
He wasn't in that. 
Draft. 

661
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:45,840
He was not in Higgins draft. 
Class. 

662
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,120
He was in the draft class after 
that, no. 

663
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,239
The Chase draft class. 
He was in the draft class after.

664
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,280
OK, what? 
Sorry. 

665
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,920
Are we talking? 
But here are we talking chased. 

666
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,240
My point is both both of their 
draft classes, every good wide 

667
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:01,840
receiver in both of their draft 
classes have gotten paid. 

668
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,000
They are literally the two guys 
that have not gotten paid. 

669
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,240
So it, it must just like the 
point Davis is saying it must 

670
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:12,440
just suck for them knowing that 
they're good enough to get this 

671
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,240
$80 million guaranteed contract 
and the Bengals are too cheap to

672
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:18,640
pay it like that. 
That must just suck for them 

673
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,560
going out every game knowing if 
they tear their Achilles, tear 

674
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,960
their ACL, they're not 
financially protected, 

675
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,600
protected. 
So I am, I don't know. 

676
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,960
I'm, I'm still giving the 
Bengals the benefit of the doubt

677
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,560
a little bit, you know, compared
to some other disastrous week 1 

678
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,280
performances from like the 
Browns, for example. 

679
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,600
Like I do think the Bengals will
figure this out, but man, it, it

680
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,480
does. 
It does suck for these two top 

681
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,320
wide receivers to not have the. 
Financial security that they 

682
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,280
deserve so like Windhor, the 
windhorse meme would be like I 

683
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,720
think T Higgins hamstring 
probably was hurt, but was it 

684
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:56,160
really hurt or was it hurt? 
You know, so it's like I and, 

685
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,560
and can you blame him like to? 
Your point? 

686
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,440
No, can't blame him at all. 
If your if your hamstring is 

687
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,480
injured and you could probably 
play, but it would be pushing it

688
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,040
and you'd you'd maybe be 
suffering a compensation injury,

689
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,560
why would you play? 
Yeah, that that's, that's The 

690
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,240
thing is that I'm just worried 
that both of these guys, like 

691
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:18,880
are they going to be fighting to
get back on the field if they're

692
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,120
banged up, knowing their their 
situation? 

693
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,440
I mean, Chase chase played well.
Chase was like the only Bengal 

694
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:29,280
who like looked like, I mean all
like Yoshi boss pretty miscast 

695
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,240
as like, I mean, he he literally
had a 100% snap and route share 

696
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,840
like which is not really that 
fair to Yoshi boss. 

697
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,840
And also watching that offense. 
If I could sell my Jermaine 

698
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,280
Burton teams, if I could sell 
any Jermaine Burton share that I

699
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,640
had for $0.05 on the dollar. 
Like Jermaine Burton couldn't 

700
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,760
get on the field with Charlie 
Jones and Trent Erwin running 

701
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,920
routes and they're they're 
losing at home to the Patriots. 

702
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,120
Like my God dude, how much do 
the coaches hate him? 

703
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:02,320
Yeah, he he's not going back. 
It's over, I think I mean like 

704
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,520
the the reports are really bad 
on like his, you know, he's not 

705
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,680
doing what he's supposed to do 
off the field and stuff. 

706
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,000
He's got to just be a Dick. 
Yeah. 

707
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,640
Going back to the the Chase 
Brown side of things, Pat, any, 

708
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,240
any notes that on the on the 
Brown Moss split you're with 

709
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:22,440
Davis that we shouldn't be 
reacting too much negatively for

710
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,800
Brown here? 
I mean, I'm definitely probably 

711
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,840
a little more concerned than 
Davis just because I thought 

712
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,760
Zach Moss looked good and he 
looked like he was like cutting 

713
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,560
the ball up field quickly, you 
know, like he was doing. 

714
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,360
If I'm concerned about Chase 
Brown, it's that it's that he's 

715
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,080
kind of this like home run 
hitting back, but to a fault. 

716
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:47,720
And you have you're sharing a 
backfield. 

717
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,040
That is true. 
Yeah, I'm sharing a backfield 

718
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,120
with a guy who just like, gets 
the job done. 

719
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,560
And Moss, you know, I thought 
looked pretty good. 

720
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,440
He he had a 67% success rate per
NFL Next Gen. 

721
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:07,120
Brown was actually at 67% too. 
So maybe, maybe ultimately, you 

722
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,960
know, it's not a big deal, but 
like Moss got more work. 

723
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,240
He got 9 carries, Brown got 
three and he looked pretty 

724
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:17,440
effective and kind of did his 
job. 

725
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,880
So I think I, I'm definitely a 
little more concerned one 

726
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,080
because like Moss looked pretty 
good, not amazing, but like, 

727
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,520
like, you know, we thought he 
might and then the offense 

728
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,600
looked so discombobulated and 
like, when does this end? 

729
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,240
Like this is a, I guess we're 
just like not used to this. 

730
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,640
You know, this isn't supposed to
happen. 

731
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,040
We're this is a league with 
parody. 

732
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,680
This is a league, you know, 
where they like actually share 

733
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,240
the money and stuff and and all 
of these franchises have the 

734
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:47,200
ability to compete. 
Like the Bengals did this to 

735
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,760
themselves. 
There's such a like, this is not

736
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:50,960
a league. 
We're supposed to have stuff 

737
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,000
like this. 
I'm they need that private 

738
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,440
equity a. 
Little bit. 

739
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,600
Worried. 
Yeah, this this man. 

740
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,280
They voted against it. 
They were. 

741
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,600
They were the one. 
They were the one team that 

742
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,160
voted against the private 
equity. 

743
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,880
Yeah, I mean it. 
It's. 

744
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,400
Like they know, They know if 
private equity comes in like 

745
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,640
they're toast, they're not going
to have to. 

746
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:17,520
Yeah, they're. 
The first, they're the first 

747
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,880
target for sure. 
It's like you guys can't figure 

748
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,640
out how to play, how to pay 
Jamar Chase and D Higgins. 

749
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,160
We we could probably just do 
that. 

750
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,520
But yeah, I am giving the 
Bengals a little bit of the 

751
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,040
benefit of the doubt. 
It's been like three years in a 

752
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,720
row where the Bengals come into 
Week 1 and look like dog shit 

753
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:37,480
and figure out a way to turn it 
around. 

754
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,520
Yeah, so I I am not like full 
blown panicking on them, but 

755
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,880
it's definitely worth monitoring
how bad they looked. 

756
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,440
Also worth saying Patriots 
defense is going to be like a 

757
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,520
top five defense. 
So again, maybe, maybe it wasn't

758
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,680
the best. 
Sell for that. 

759
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,880
We'll see. 
We we, we I don't know. 

760
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,680
We'll, we'll see. 
I I, I suspect, I suspect much 

761
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,960
of that game was about the 
borough, the Bengals having a 

762
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,000
shitty game plan. 
Just like general unhappiness, 

763
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,520
general unpreparedness, general 
general Bengals bullshit. 

764
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:12,320
As opposed to the Patriots 
playing super well. 

765
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,640
Got it. 
That's the part that would 

766
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,360
probably concern me the most. 
Like from a bag defending 

767
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,320
perspective, Chase Brown's still
going to hit some big plays. 

768
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,720
So I I am I. 
Think so that so that all would.

769
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,200
Him makes sense. 
Let's. 

770
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,760
Let's do this to close out this 
conversation. 

771
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,840
Imagine ADP doesn't exist. 
You have one team. 

772
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,040
Your choice is Zach Moss or 
Chase Brown. 

773
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,880
Got to be Moss. 
It's got to it's got to be, it's

774
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,280
got to be Moss. 
It's got to be Moss. 

775
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:43,600
Right now it's Moss. 
It's Moss Head. 

776
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,600
Yeah, OK, yeah, got it. 
All right, let's move on here to

777
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,520
the panic button player. 
I'll I'll go first here again. 

778
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,920
This is a player that you think 
should be going way down the 

779
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,520
rankings after week 1. 
Again, I I didn't have exposure 

780
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:05,120
to this player, but the one guy 
I would move down the most in 

781
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,760
like a best best ball style 
format after week 1 is Kirk 

782
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,720
Cousins. 
Man it I I watched that Falcon 

783
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,720
Steelers game. 
I get the Steelers defense is 

784
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:18,480
likely to be one of the better 
units of the league. 

785
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,560
Their online was getting beat 
up, but something does not look 

786
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,200
right with Kirk Cousins leg. 
He he was just not able to plant

787
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,400
on his throws and drive the ball
down the field when he tried to 

788
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,280
do so. 
There's a couple passes where he

789
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,520
skipped the ball like 5-6 feet 
in front of the receiver a 

790
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,280
couple times where his accuracy 
was just way off. 

791
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,160
I, I kind of, you know, Kirk 
Cousins, he's never been a 

792
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,440
mobile guy, but he's always been
someone who's been able to like 

793
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,760
maneuver in the pocket, have 
confidence and sling the ball. 

794
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,600
He looked kind of timid in that 
game, did not. 

795
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,480
Luckily, he had very much 
strength. 

796
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,640
I am putting a little frankly, 
like maybe it's conspiracy 

797
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,440
theory season. 
I'm putting a little bit more 

798
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,240
weight into now the Pennex 
getting benched after like 10 

799
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:04,760
snacks. 
Oh my gosh, yeah, you you have 

800
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:05,800
to. 
Yeah. 

801
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,480
I mean, how about the Pennex 
pick in general? 

802
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,320
How about they they sign Cousins
to this contract, they get him 

803
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,920
in the building and they're 
like, oh shit, dude. 

804
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,880
Yeah, so again, I, I let's start
with the Cousins part of the 

805
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,040
conversation first. 
We can get to the pass catchers,

806
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:25,640
but I'll kick it to you first. 
Davis, do you agree that it's 

807
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,600
it's panic button time for Kirk 
Cousins? 

808
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,880
Yeah, I mean, look, if we were 
redrafting a new contest on 

809
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,360
Underdog today, I would move him
down to the Bonex. 

810
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:40,240
Drake may like not anticipating 
getting 17 games out of him, and

811
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:42,320
I would. 
I mean, I was not a London guy 

812
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,920
anyways, because much like you, 
I'm a gentleman of distinction 

813
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,480
who took Nicole Collins over 
him. 

814
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,360
But London would now be a 
Devante. 

815
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,600
You were Adams was wide receiver
16, wide receiver 17 right about

816
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,560
there. 
I I would move London all the 

817
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,080
way down there in my redrapped 
rankings, weirdly enough, I I 

818
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,480
would completely leave Pitts 
where he was. 

819
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,440
Pitts 100% of routes. 
It's all I ever it's all I ever 

820
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,160
wanted from him. 
In fact, I would maybe even move

821
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,720
Pitts. 
Yeah. 

822
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,200
I know Pitts might actually go 
up. 

823
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,080
Yeah. 
Do you agree with that Pat on 

824
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,880
the cousin side of things that 
he should be are are you because

825
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,960
I I think I agree with Davis. 
Like I think I'm moving him down

826
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:28,480
to like one 70s as opposed to 
one 20s one 30s maybe even 

827
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,120
later, to be honest, but possum 
overreacting. 

828
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,600
What do you think? 
Well, there, you know, in the 

829
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,120
back of my mind, during draft 
season, it was always like, how 

830
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,960
safe is he for Week 17? 
Like what if they missed the 

831
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,760
playoffs? 
Are we getting we're getting a 

832
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,520
Pennex audition, you know, and 
that always felt a little bit 

833
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:53,360
like cowardly because it's like,
look, man, like he's such an 

834
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,840
upgrade on Ritter. 
They're going to be such an 

835
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,560
upgrade on Arthur Smith. 
Like, you know, it's a weak 

836
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,880
division. 
Like it'll be fine. 

837
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,320
Like don't, don't get overly 
caught up in kind of these tail 

838
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,480
scenarios. 
It don't feel so tail anymore. 

839
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,840
You know, this is this is it's 
kind of easier to imagine them 

840
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,760
checking out Michael Pennix at 
the end of the season. 

841
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,360
And that is just such just an 
absolute disaster for best ball 

842
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,520
teams because, you know, we we 
might only have one other 

843
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,680
quarterback right on these 
teams. 

844
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,920
Like if you if your quarterback 
gets benched and a guy like 

845
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,080
Cousins, it's like for what, you
know, what was the upside? 

846
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:35,240
And then you're taking on this 
dude who got benched like so 

847
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:37,960
easily replaceable with guys 
going around him. 

848
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,920
You know, like, what's really 
difference between like him and 

849
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:44,480
Goff or him and you know, 
Rodgers or him and Stafford? 

850
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,880
You know, these guys are like 
definitely weren't going to get 

851
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,160
benched. 
It just, you know, that little 

852
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,600
voice maybe should have been a 
little louder after after 

853
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,120
watching this game. 
Now that I have the hindsight 

854
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,840
bias, so it it's a he's a little
easier for me to panic on for 

855
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,840
that reason. 
It's like the bottom could 

856
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,400
actually fall out from a best 
ball perspective. 

857
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,520
Yeah. 
The one other note I'll add on 

858
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,800
Cousins, this is from Mark 
Raymondi. 

859
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,680
I apologize, Mark, if I'm 
pronouncing. 

860
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,760
Your name on the. 
Yeah, he he's a Falcons beat 

861
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,040
reporter. 
That that was one thing, a lack 

862
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,360
of play action. 
The other really weird thing for

863
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,840
a supposedly, you know, Shanahan
style offense, they ran one 

864
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,520
offensive play with Kirk Cousins
under center. 

865
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,720
The rest was out of pistol and 
shotgun pistol, a pretty weird 

866
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:29,920
formation to use for your based 
offense. 

867
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,440
I think that's maybe because 
they don't have faith in Cousins

868
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,120
taking a snap under center and 
like running out to hand the 

869
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,240
ball off to the running back or 
I don't know. 

870
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:41,160
But it it was a lot of weird 
pistol stuff tosses the Bijan 

871
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,520
keeping cousins like really 
statuesque in the pocket. 

872
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,720
So that that's an alarm bell 
data point for me. 

873
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:50,080
They don't even have the faith 
to have him under center. 

874
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:54,600
Just just kind of weird stuff in
Atlanta as far as the pass 

875
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:55,680
catchers go. 
We we can have that 

876
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,280
conversation. 
I think the the presence of 

877
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:05,120
Tenex is a pretty good backstop 
for for Pitts and London. 

878
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,640
I don't want to have a ton of 
takeaways after this past week. 

879
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,480
In terms of the past catchers, 
it really wasn't. 

880
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,240
I never. 
Thought I never thought London 

881
00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:17,440
was good, so that's easy for me 
to just update my priors and be 

882
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,200
like, well I'm not a London guy 
so yeah. 

883
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,080
Yeah as far as Cousins is in 
there, I think it's gonna be 

884
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:27,440
like PPR scam season for Bijon. 
Tons of dump offs and screens. 

885
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,080
Like. 
Think think Big Ben to Naji 

886
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,640
Harris. 
Remember when Big Ben targeted 

887
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,680
Naji Harris like 16 times in the
game? 

888
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,760
I think, I think we'll. 
See, they built, they built the 

889
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,720
whole plane out of Bijon 
Robinson. 

890
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:40,360
The whole thing is it's all 
Bijon. 

891
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,560
Yeah. 
And the last thing I'll say, I 

892
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,840
know you guys I gotta, I gotta 
get a little pits butt in there 

893
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,560
100% route rate. 
That's good. 

894
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:54,360
The targets not good. 
The three targets is crazy. 

895
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,480
No 3. 
Targets is not. 

896
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,960
This is this is I. 
I'm not here and I'm not here. 

897
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,320
No, all all. 
What I'll say on Pitts is 

898
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,400
everyone's saying they're going 
to get Pitts involved in the 

899
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,160
short area of the field. 
He's going to get the easy 

900
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,800
button stuff. 
Kyle Pitts is not good at the 

901
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,960
easy button stuff. 
He's not a guy you want catching

902
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,680
a pass and running after the 
catch. 

903
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,240
He's actually not good at that. 
He's not get it running after 

904
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:19,600
the catch. 
There's. 

905
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,760
No way you could say that. 
He's like the worst yak tight 

906
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,800
end like in the data. 
All of his stats are like 

907
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,560
they're Desmond Ritter, Marcus 
Mariota. 

908
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,520
Like I think the fact that he 
ran 100% of routes as a tight 

909
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,120
end, as a tight end, like think 
of like Sam, like they're coming

910
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:41,960
in with a new system. 
They're coming in and you know, 

911
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,600
like we don't really know how 
they actually feel about Pitts. 

912
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,760
Obviously gonna they're gonna 
say nice things, but he hasn't 

913
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,160
been that great over the last 
couple years. 

914
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:50,440
Like his stats haven't been 
good. 

915
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,960
He had the really good rookie 
year and then it's it's not been

916
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:58,200
so great since The fact that 
they had him run around on 100% 

917
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,400
of drop backs is like kind of 
insanely bullish from The Who 

918
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,560
they think he could be in their 
offense perspective. 

919
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,040
Now you're right, like maybe he 
just isn't good that like we, we

920
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:15,000
don't have much more evidence of
that, but it's going to be thin 

921
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,080
because it's one week. 
So it's going to be hard for us 

922
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:21,040
to take too much away of like, 
is he actually, you know, better

923
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,400
or worse than we thought? 
But we can get a pretty good 

924
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,400
sense of what his role in the 
offense is going to be. 

925
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,000
I mean Titans just don't really 
get used like this. 

926
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:34,520
Yeah, again, I, I, I had a 
really that long DM conversation

927
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:35,800
with Leonie last night. 
He got. 

928
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:36,120
Really. 
Yeah. 

929
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,480
And Leonie is. 
And Leonie is right, dude. 

930
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,000
Let me be clear that I I don't 
think 100% route participation 

931
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,560
is bad. 
I just don't think 33 targets 

932
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:49,320
when Ray Ray McLeod had like 7 
is good. 

933
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,840
So but. 
Your bar's a little high isn't 

934
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,240
it? 
Like if he got, if he got 5 

935
00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:54,480
targets on 100% round 
participation, we'd be like, he 

936
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:55,400
should have been a second round 
pick. 

937
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,240
If he got 7 targets, he'd be 
like he should have been the 

938
00:48:57,240 --> 00:48:58,560
first round pick. 
Why were you even? 

939
00:48:58,720 --> 00:49:00,560
Why was there even a discussion 
about who the tight end 1 was 

940
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,600
like we would be? 
You're basically you're setting 

941
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,320
the bar at just below levels 
where we would go nuts. 

942
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,600
Seriously. 
With 100% round participation, 

943
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,080
if he had 7 targets we would be 
going nuts. 

944
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,120
Who? 
Who is the Falcons? 

945
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,560
Like back up tight end? 
Like who? 

946
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,520
Who is the guy they're supposed 
to be using over him? 

947
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,680
I don't. 
We learn names all the time. 

948
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,160
We learn names constantly. 
Is it still Charlie Warner? 

949
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:25,560
I actually already knew that 
name. 

950
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,640
That's a name already know. 
I don't know, man. 

951
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,240
I, I, I guess here's the thing. 
I think there was a version of 

952
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:34,880
this offense where they found a 
way. 

953
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,400
People were saying stuff like 
they're going to use Kyle Pitts 

954
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,080
in like the puka Nakua role in 
the Rams offense. 

955
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,120
Like tons of pre snap motion 
scheming up on, on tons of 

956
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,520
crossers and stuff underneath. 
I didn't see the in the ram. 

957
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,000
I mean the, the Falcons in week 
1. 

958
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,520
I didn't see them going out 
there and being like, yeah, Kyle

959
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,360
Pitts is one of the focal points
of our offense. 

960
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,200
And I thought that was part of 
the thesis of of him having good

961
00:49:57,240 --> 00:49:57,880
seasons. 
He. 

962
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:00,960
Did he was one of the focal 
points? 

963
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,400
He was out there. 
Like this is this is peak, this 

964
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,840
is peak ADP chasing right now. 
It's just like. 100% of route 

965
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,560
like you can find guys who run 
100% of route like Alec Pierce 

966
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,120
ran 100% of routes in like all 
the games last year. 

967
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,080
He's a wide receiver. 
If Alec Pierce had tight end 

968
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,320
eligibility he would be fucking 
sick. 

969
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,000
Kate Alec Pierce, Kate Aughton. 
He just caught a. 

970
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,920
Couple long touch kills. 
Kate Aughton and Colby Parkinson

971
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,280
are gonna be running 8090% of 
the routes I. 

972
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,560
Mean and Colby Parkinson is one 
of the biggest. 

973
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,360
Like he'd be like the Titan he's
in. 

974
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:37,000
A big draft, yeah, but would you
draft Colby Parkinson in the 

975
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,040
sixth round over George Kittle 
and Brock Bowers? 

976
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:40,840
Kilby Parkinson is not as good 
as Kyle is. 

977
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,400
Dude, your, your argument really
falls apart because Drake London

978
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,680
had three targets like Darnell 
Mooney had three targets. 

979
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,800
They, they gave Ray Ray McLeod 6
targets like the offense wasn't 

980
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,240
functioning like we were 
expecting it to. 

981
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,920
And as you pointed out, it's 
largely because Kirk Cousins 

982
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:03,440
looked really bad. 
So from the Cousins is, is, you 

983
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,560
know, having trouble coming back
from this Achilles tear. 

984
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,720
Uh oh perspective. 
I am not pushing back. 

985
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:11,360
That is concerning. 
But from like somehow this isn't

986
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,560
reflective of them use utilizing
pits as a big part of their 

987
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,720
offense because they only had 
three targets when he tied with 

988
00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:18,800
Drake London and Darnell Mooney,
the other two guys we would 

989
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,040
expect to be a big part of their
offense. 

990
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,760
It just, it's a stretch. 
It's like, I don't know, it 

991
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,600
almost seems like you didn't 
like Kyle Pitts in the 1st place

992
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,280
and you're interpreting through 
it that. 

993
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:30,680
You're letting you're letting in
2019. 

994
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,800
You're letting your 2019 Debbie 
takes impact your 2025. 

995
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,560
That's what people are doing 
with Kyle Pitts. 

996
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,240
Come on, man, Come on. 
Like we, we. 

997
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,880
The the ski targets is everyone 
else Like why is it bad for him 

998
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,080
because Drake? 
When is Drake London not 

999
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,000
actually a part of this offense?
Is Drake Drake actually the 

1000
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,040
third wide receiver? 
Cause 'cause he didn't get more 

1001
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,800
targets than Darnell Mooney, he 
got Drake. 

1002
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,920
Lennon had half the target of 
Ray Ray McCloud. 

1003
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,200
Is he basically a wide receiver 
4IN his own team? 

1004
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:01,200
I'm just asking questions. 
OK, but but Drake London didn't 

1005
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,880
get you know out produced by 
Jonny Smith last year. 

1006
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:06,920
Drake London was actually good 
last year. 

1007
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,320
Like don't, don't we have? 
Drake Drake London was not 

1008
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:10,960
actually good last year. 
He wasn't. 

1009
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,800
Compared to compared to Kyle 
Pitts, he was actually really 

1010
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,680
good. 
And also I don't know, man, it's

1011
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:23,840
he, he, we, we have two years, 
two years of data on Kyle Pitts 

1012
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,400
not being that good before this 
year. 

1013
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:30,240
So I don't know, let's move on 
here to panic button player for 

1014
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:34,840
Davis. 
Dantavian Wicks because just 

1015
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,720
like there's no foreseeable way 
for him to pay off now with 

1016
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:41,120
Jordan love injured like it's 
it's completely done and dusted 

1017
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:42,720
and over It's just not 
happening. 

1018
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:45,920
He's a he's a drop you you can 
just completely move on from 

1019
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,560
that guy. 
He he would go down a lot, a lot

1020
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:58,960
of spots at wide receiver and 
any any Bears wide receiver, 

1021
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,240
just like Bears wide receiver 
takes in general because Caleb 

1022
00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:06,040
did not hit the ground running. 
But like I, I truly in my heart 

1023
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:10,560
of hearts believed Caleb was 
coming out 260 passing yards, 

1024
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,920
65% completion. 
Just like kind of like really 

1025
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:17,240
competently looking not at this 
panic button is like, not like 

1026
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:19,480
I'm sending them to 0 you. 
Just took mine. 

1027
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,360
You took mine because you did 
two? 

1028
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,160
Yeah, sorry. 
I was going to do the bears. 

1029
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,360
You can do the bears, do the 
bears do the bears. 

1030
00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:31,040
All right, because I was 
actually going to take it from 

1031
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:37,400
the the wide receivers 
perspective where like I think 

1032
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,000
it was on sickos. 
We did like a aren't you worried

1033
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,240
episode and I didn't aren't you 
worried on the bears? 

1034
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:50,960
Like where we we know that these
rookie wide receiver or these 

1035
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,480
rookie quarterbacks don't really
support weapons at a high rate, 

1036
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,800
but we just saw with Stroud and 
we, you know, Caleb's going to 

1037
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,720
be this same prospect. 
He's going to be awesome right 

1038
00:53:59,720 --> 00:54:02,200
away. 
And so, in fact, what we should 

1039
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:06,800
do is take three of his wide 
receivers in the top 65 picks. 

1040
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:11,440
That's that's definitely going 
to work and didn't work this 

1041
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,400
this past week. 
DJ Moore led the group with 1.16

1042
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,520
yards per hour on Keenan Allen, 
1.12. 

1043
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,120
No one told me that the fat 
Keenan thing was about his 

1044
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,280
ability to get his hands up. 
I didn't realize that was the 

1045
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:26,600
problem. 
Roma Doonsday, 0.39 yards per 

1046
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,160
hour. 
I only had one reception on 

1047
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,960
three targets. 
Obviously they'll have better 

1048
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,320
days, but it did. 
You know, you look at the EPA 

1049
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,760
per play and Caleb Williams was 
really, really bad. 

1050
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:41,600
The only quarterbacks worse in 
EPA per plays, like tied with 

1051
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,640
Cousins. 
And then the guys worse were 

1052
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,600
Bryce Young, Will Levis Bonex, 
Daniel Jones and Deshaun Watson.

1053
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:52,120
So it was definitely like, was 
it a concerning debut from will 

1054
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,920
Caleb Williams be a good NFL 
quarterback? 

1055
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,800
Not really. 
Was it a concerning debut from a

1056
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,880
we drafted his weapons like he 
was immediately going to be 

1057
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,800
awesome. 
Yeah, it was a little 

1058
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,120
concerning. 
Yeah, I I think I would give 

1059
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,440
Caleb and the weapons a little 
bit more time. 

1060
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,800
One one note, there is. 
Of course I'm not. 

1061
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,600
I'm not. 
I didn't mean to send that to 0,

1062
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,960
but this panic meter is about 
I'm very financially and all of 

1063
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,720
these players, yeah, relative 
panic. 

1064
00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:21,400
Yeah, me too. 
Yeah, yeah, not so much more 

1065
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:22,920
'cause he was the most 
expensive, but. 

1066
00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:28,240
Yeah, I I think that, yeah, I 
don't know, I'm going to give 

1067
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:31,880
Caleb a couple weeks before I 
have any sweeping judgements on 

1068
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:33,400
him, but I definitely agree it 
was concerning. 

1069
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,840
The Shane Waldron stuff is 
starting to creep up in my mind 

1070
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,360
more and more knowing that he's 
in charge there and after we saw

1071
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:42,360
what happened in Seattle last 
year. 

1072
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,560
So that that one definitely 
makes sense to me. 

1073
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,040
Worth noting, Keenan Allen 
suffered a hamstring or foot 

1074
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,080
injury. 
I don't know if it was actually 

1075
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,480
disclosed what the injury was at
the end of the game, Was it? 

1076
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,880
OK, so that was the same injury 
he had coming into the game. 

1077
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,680
So that's something worth 
noting. 

1078
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,720
It could get really concentrated
to a Doonese and. 

1079
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,240
That would help if he's. 
Out, yeah, it would help if he's

1080
00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:05,400
out and they. 
Yeah, the other other note I 

1081
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,280
wanted to add, I think it was 
Jacob Gibbs on Twitter did he 

1082
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,160
showed the wide receivers that 
had the most pre snap motion 

1083
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,240
routes ran for them. 
It was Keenan Allen, which 

1084
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:19,600
strikes me as a little bit weird
to make him the focal point of 

1085
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,400
the motion stuff over someone 
like DJ Moore. 

1086
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,080
So I wonder if that shifts a 
little bit this next week, 

1087
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,560
especially obviously if Keenan's
out. 

1088
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,240
But yeah, Keenan. 
Keenan was not particularly 

1089
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:33,080
efficient out there even though 
he got peppered with targets. 

1090
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:39,600
OK, so that was both you and 
Pat's take Davis. 

1091
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,240
Or did someone want to give one 
more or we? 

1092
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:49,080
Well I just said I mean Wix is 
like send send every Packer but 

1093
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:53,360
Jaden Reed to like absolute not 
startable in 12 team league 0 

1094
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,120
until Jordan Love gets back. 
Yeah, this is a good point from 

1095
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:57,560
Nathan Roof. 
The the pre stop motion for 

1096
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,160
Keenan was just to to get his 
weight down. 

1097
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:07,040
They're just trying. 
To DJ they they asked DJ more 

1098
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,440
about Keenan. 
They asked DJ more about Keenan 

1099
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,880
after the game and they said. 
They said. 

1100
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,640
They said he's fine. 
He's just old, they say. 

1101
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:20,840
Just an old guy. 
Oh my God, dude, what is OK? 

1102
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:25,600
The the the last rant I have 
about Waldron using Gerald 

1103
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,640
Everett as a feature tight end 
over Cole Comet is going to be 

1104
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:32,160
one of the most donkey bro. 
I'm not saying yeah, I'm not 

1105
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,040
saying Comet's like some amazing
guy. 

1106
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,960
I'm not like a huge Cole Comet 
guy, but Cole Comet is way 

1107
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,680
better at football than Gerald 
Everett. 

1108
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,560
This. 
This is just nepotism from Shane

1109
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,280
Waldron having Everett back in 
Seattle, I think. 

1110
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,720
But that that to me is 
inexcusable. 

1111
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,000
What is Gerald Everett doing out
in the field so much? 

1112
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:53,040
Doesn't make any sense to me. 
Well, you also like with these 

1113
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:58,040
coaches you want to see, you 
know this guy failed, right? 

1114
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,160
Last year, it was bad. 
It was bad. 

1115
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,960
And what did you learn? 
You know, nothing. 

1116
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:05,880
Oh, nothing. 
You, you come in and and 

1117
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,280
immediately you're like, I'm 
going to take this guy who if I 

1118
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,280
sat down and watch the tape and 
and looked at the stats, would 

1119
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,920
realize is much better than 
Gerald Everett. 

1120
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,120
And I'm just going to do what's 
more pumpy for me and play 

1121
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,520
Gerald Everett over this guy 
'cause I like 'cause he knows my

1122
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:24,320
system or whatever. 
It's about as big a red flag on 

1123
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,760
a coach I think is is you're 
going to get is, you know, and 

1124
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,800
then in addition to the offense 
looking bad, it and we knew 

1125
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,960
Waldron, like none of us liked 
Waldron or like it doesn't 

1126
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,640
matter, hopefully because 
Caleb's going to be awesome. 

1127
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,400
But it kind of, it reminds me of
the Kirk Cousins thing a little 

1128
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,320
bit where they're like, they're 
actually were some red flags, 

1129
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:46,000
but we ignored the red flags, 
you know, understandably because

1130
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,520
there was a lot of upside and 
all of a sudden the red flags 

1131
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:53,440
look a little redder. 
Yeah, the put the whole bears 

1132
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:57,840
coaching staff on watch for 
first coach fired this season at

1133
00:58:57,840 --> 00:58:59,960
this stuff continues. 
Just not saying it's definitely 

1134
00:58:59,960 --> 00:59:02,840
gonna happen, but they're 
they're on my watch list after 

1135
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,960
that week 1 performance. 
I guess they did get a win so 

1136
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,960
that that helps. 
All right, guys. 

1137
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:15,480
That was it for this week on 
victory lapping and bag 

1138
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,440
defending in season, ADP chasing
whatever we are calling. 

1139
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:20,720
Now who's your one for the panic
button? 

1140
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:22,520
It was. 
Kirk Cousins. 

1141
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,200
Oh, Cousins. 
Cousins. 

1142
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:24,640
Yeah, right. 
OK. 

1143
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,240
OK, the other one, I would say, 
if I was giving a second, I 

1144
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,680
mean, this one is this so. 
So obviously you don't even need

1145
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:31,560
to say it. 
Deshaun Watson. 

1146
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,920
I mean, come on, man. 
Oh, yeah. 

1147
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:36,000
Like. 
Christ Young was the other. 

1148
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,040
David Kitchen is having to trim 
the Dairy Queen budget right 

1149
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,360
now. 
Yeah, now the I'm. 

1150
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,760
A little bit banking about Dante
Johnson. 

1151
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,760
Dante Dante Johnson is it's a 
tough one, like the whole like 

1152
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,640
they passed a bunch, they 
trailed the whole time and. 

1153
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:54,840
Like wait, Green, I thought you 
were. 

1154
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:55,760
Fitting. 
Still didn't happen. 

1155
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:57,200
You. 
You drafted. 

1156
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,720
No, I'm concerned. 
I drafted Deonte Johnson. 

1157
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,320
Yeah, Sanderson. 
And Gretsch they. 

1158
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,800
They got me on him. 
Every Panthers player is at 

1159
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:10,040
absolute 0. 
Jonathan Brooks 0, Leggett 0. 

1160
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:19,240
Adam Thielen 00 Like you project
for zero points that you line up

1161
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:24,600
on Yahoo 00. 
Yeah, let me ask you, is it bad?

1162
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,680
Is it bad if the guy took in the
sixth round is getting out 

1163
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,640
targeted by Jonathan Mingo? 
Is that good or bad? 

1164
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:33,680
Now we got to, you got to give 
him more than one week. 

1165
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,840
Like, you know, Kyle Pitts only 
had three targets Week 1. 

1166
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,880
You got to give him some time to
bounce back, you know? 

1167
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:44,960
I know I Bryce Young's bad guys.
Yeah, yeah, he's, he's, he's the

1168
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,040
worst quarterback in football, 
32 out of 32. 

1169
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,640
And and Andy Dalton would be 
better than him right now. 

1170
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,640
Yeah, it's his that's. 
Andy Dalton would definitely be 

1171
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:56,720
better. 
I I think with, with Young, the 

1172
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,040
thing I've been kind of digging 
around on some quarterback stats

1173
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:03,840
and stuff like his time to throw
is so long, but like he doesn't,

1174
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:05,920
it's like he it's the Zach 
Wilson. 

1175
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,760
I think he's got the Zach Wilson
disease where like he takes so 

1176
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,880
long to make a decision and then
that decision is an 

1177
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,840
interception. 
Like that's just it's the worst 

1178
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,880
possible combo. 
Like you at least if you're 

1179
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,960
going to be bad, you at least 
need to be like getting the ball

1180
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,640
out on time. 
That's where I mean, Dalton 

1181
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,280
would be much better. 
Honestly, I think Deon Deonte, 

1182
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,200
maybe we shouldn't be worried. 
Maybe it's actually good for 

1183
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,880
Deonte because Young is going to
get bench for Dalton who would 

1184
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,480
be literally like the perfect 
quarterback for Deonte. 

1185
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,600
Oh, can we just, OK, real quick,
before we get out of here, I do 

1186
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,720
need to ask Sam's thought on the
fifth round rookie from BYU 

1187
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,160
impacting the projection for the
week one NFL Target leader 

1188
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,840
Cooper Cup. 
Yeah, man, I mean, if I could 

1189
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,240
predict injuries, I obviously 
would have. 

1190
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,960
Been on five receptions before 
Puka got injured on two drives. 

1191
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,720
Yeah, now the the cup, the cup 
usage was was really, really 

1192
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:58,840
strong. 
They came out of the gate 

1193
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,840
clearly wanted to make him a 
feature point of the offense. 

1194
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,440
Yeah, the the the puka stuff, I 
guess if we have time, 

1195
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,680
everyone's saying that like, oh,
we should have known about this.

1196
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,120
Which which I think is fair to 
say there were some injury 

1197
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,680
concerns. 
I don't think he looked limited 

1198
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,240
or Hanford at all in his handful
of plays before he got injured. 

1199
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:17,400
So. 
No, he didn't. 

1200
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,000
He looked good to me so I guess 
you you can victory lap and say 

1201
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,800
you know you idiots shouldn't 
have been drafting puka. 

1202
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,840
He was already injured. 
He looks spry and fast to me. 

1203
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,600
Maybe it is a pain tolerance 
thing that we should have seen 

1204
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,680
coming. 
He got banged up on his knee and

1205
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,240
couldn't fight through the pain 
anymore. 

1206
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,840
We'll see on that one. 
Yeah, that that really sucks for

1207
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,560
Puka. 
I will just say the cup stuff. 

1208
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:42,840
Cup would have been a good pick 
even if Puka was healthy. 

1209
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,440
Now the fact that Puka looks 
injured is going to make cup 

1210
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:50,160
like the ultimate PPR scam of of
all time. 

1211
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,560
So if you draft a cup, 
obviously. 

1212
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,640
You're you're saying you. 
Should feel good about that. 

1213
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,720
You're saying the guy who does 
have the record for most PPR 

1214
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:01,680
points in a season might 
actually have been a good 

1215
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,240
fantasy draft pick? 
I just want to. 

1216
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:05,400
I just want to get this 
straight. 

1217
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,520
Yeah, no, that's it. 
When you put it like that, it 

1218
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,520
really makes me wonder. 
No, I mean, here's the thing. 

1219
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:18,440
Here's the thing with Cup Davis.
Davis trying to make this as 

1220
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,520
painful as possible. 
It's insane. 

1221
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,640
This could be the signal. 
I hate every player over the age

1222
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,800
of 24 like ever. 
I throw them away immediately 

1223
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,920
when when me of all people is 
telling you maybe draft Cooper 

1224
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:31,160
Cup? 
That should have been a pretty 

1225
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:31,640
loud. 
Sign. 

1226
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,240
I'm just saying are are that's. 
True. 

1227
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:34,960
Honestly, that's that's a really
good point. 

1228
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,200
Are you not worried about cup 
hitting hitting the target 

1229
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,560
Cliff? 
21 targets in week 1 I mean. 

1230
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,800
I mean, what, what I, what I, I,
I am worried about is, is the, 

1231
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,360
the offensive, the offensive 
line. 

1232
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,560
I mean, as as a, as a cup bag 
holder, I'm worried about the, 

1233
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:58,240
the, the Rams offensive line and
just, and just basically the, 

1234
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,560
they just kind of so the 
systemic risk it just, I mean, 

1235
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,640
Kyron did not play well 
yesterday. 

1236
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,960
Like it just it it. 
There's some real systemic risk 

1237
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,280
overall. 
Yeah, I think, yeah, I, I will 

1238
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,280
just say like the the cup stuff,
I did a thread on this. 

1239
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,960
There's there's evidence I said 
he would be a guy I would take 

1240
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:20,560
in PBRPPR redraft leagues 
because of his upside, not a guy

1241
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,200
that I'm targeting in half PPR 
best ball. 

1242
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,480
So I, I always like to be 
honest, this is this is not even

1243
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,080
a bit the the upside case with 
Cooper Cup was really obvious. 

1244
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,000
It's definitely possible. 
I was not factoring that in 

1245
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,520
enough. 
I do think you had to 

1246
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:38,200
acknowledge the volatile 
downside of of an aging player 

1247
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,040
coming off a lot of injuries, 
but clearly the the Pro Cup 

1248
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,400
people were right. 
I was wrong. 

1249
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,160
He. 
Pro Cooper Cup people did not go

1250
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,520
far enough. 
I think you I think you could 

1251
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,280
have gotten there with with cup 
I I don't think it was it was 

1252
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,200
great process, but you know, you
can get there without without 

1253
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,600
having good process, much like I
did with Justin Fields in our 

1254
01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,600
bet. 
God damn it, Justin. 

1255
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:05,360
Field Justin Fields starting and
winning that game. 

1256
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,280
Unbelievable stuff. 
This is what I was trying. 

1257
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,400
I was trying to end the show 
before we got to the the Justin.

1258
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,040
Fields I was trying, you guys 
wouldn't. 

1259
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:19,840
Let me do it. 
You know Justin Fields again, 

1260
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:24,040
honest people think I, you know,
only see things through my my 

1261
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,440
own bias. 
I watched the Fields stuff. 

1262
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:28,840
I thought he looked he looked 
pretty good in week one. 

1263
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,240
I thought the the connection 
with Pickens looked pretty 

1264
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,000
strong. 
He just was clearly executing 

1265
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,280
the offense and not trying to do
too much. 

1266
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,280
Yeah, exactly. 
Yeah. 

1267
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,520
And they use them on design runs
clearly like that. 

1268
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,320
That feature of the offense 
would not exist at all with 

1269
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,880
Russell Wilson. 
Yeah, I can see why they would 

1270
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,200
want to keep him. 
And so, yeah, I I took a decent 

1271
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,920
bit of Fields as a third 
quarterback and best ball like 

1272
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:56,000
pick 190 people who took him in 
the eighth, eighth round on the 

1273
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,720
big board. 
I still think that wasn't the 

1274
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,680
right call, but they. 
Might get there though. 

1275
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,720
They might. 
Get there, they might get there,

1276
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,400
they might get there. 
Here's here's a real question. 

1277
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,040
Let's say they they win this 
game. 

1278
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,800
Fields executes the offense. 
Arthur Smith and Tomlin, they 

1279
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,440
have their meeting and they're 
like, dude, we, we cannot go 

1280
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,320
back to Russell Wilson. 
Like it just we we can't look 

1281
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,560
our guys in the eyes. 
Everybody had that meeting. 

1282
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:20,560
That meeting happened. 
What? 

1283
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,880
What what happens with Russ? 
Did do they cut him? 

1284
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,240
I don't mean, I don't know. 
He seemed pretty happy wearing 

1285
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:28,880
his shoulder pads and walking. 
Around when he. 

1286
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,440
Was out. 
That was hilarious. 

1287
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,800
I. 
Couldn't hate that guy more. 

1288
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,120
I I don't like, what is the 
difference between what he did 

1289
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:41,600
yesterday and like a kid in a in
a Halloween costume like that he

1290
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:45,120
was dressing up as a quarterback
like he was out. 

1291
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:49,440
He was he, he dressed up. 
Yeah. 

1292
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,000
I I think, I mean, obviously 
there's lots of teams that could

1293
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,080
use the 28th best quarterback in
football. 

1294
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:59,240
So maybe, maybe, maybe he gets 
cut and maybe they trade him. 

1295
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,360
Maybe there's a trade, maybe 
they trade him to the Falcons. 

1296
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,560
Falcons. 
Falcons need a quarterback. 

1297
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:08,560
Oh God yeah, we'll see. 
Fields will be tested in a game 

1298
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:09,800
where they actually have to 
need. 

1299
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,280
A quarterback back where he went
to college. 

1300
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:18,360
Yeah, the love, the love stuff 
seems love stuff seems OK. 

1301
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,520
I think he's going to be all 
right, Jordan. 

1302
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,200
Love stuff. 
Seems like he he dodged the 

1303
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,160
bullet there. 
He he's going to miss a month. 

1304
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:27,240
Yeah, I don't know. 
I I heard some optimism it could

1305
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,080
be even shorter than that 
potentially. 

1306
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,920
Can't you cannot bring Jordan 
Love just got paid a bazillion 

1307
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,920
dollars. 
You can't I the the Chiefs did 

1308
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:38,520
the same thing with Mahomes. 
They they kept him out two games

1309
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:43,160
after he suffered the knee 
subluxation like they it it they

1310
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,520
they did not want to get him 
back in too quick. 

1311
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:46,760
Yeah, but that's what I'm 
saying. 

1312
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:48,160
Two, it was two weeks, right? 
Like it's. 

1313
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,480
Not that long and his was not an
MCL sprain. 

1314
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:54,120
His was the knee subluxation. 
People people think that he has 

1315
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,880
the MCL sprain and the knee 
subluxation both. 

1316
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,640
Yeah, yeah, we'll, we'll see. 
I mean, it, it makes Pack 

1317
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,920
Packers are like completely 
unusable. 

1318
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:04,880
In the meantime, if it's Malik 
Willis back there. 

1319
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:09,120
So I I still think like by week 
8, we're not going to be too, 

1320
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:10,560
too worried about the Jordan 
Love stuff. 

1321
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,800
But I could be could be wrong 
about that. 

1322
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:17,240
All right, guys, you're not 
making me take any more painful 

1323
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:18,680
L's. 
We're we're getting out of here.

1324
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,960
Before you bring up someone 
else, just let the record show. 

1325
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,240
I, I could have, I could have 
talked about Marvin Harrison 

1326
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,000
Junior. 
I, I could have talked about 

1327
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,240
elite tight ends. 
I didn't rub salt in the moon 

1328
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,279
there. 
But Patton Davis did not give me

1329
01:08:31,279 --> 01:08:33,960
the same courtesy. 
That, well, we would have got. 

1330
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:35,800
We would. 
Have gotten look so good either.

1331
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,640
I mean what we did all of tight 
end is a wasteland apparently. 

1332
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,359
Yeah, if we would have gone into
tight end, that would have been 

1333
01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:44,560
another hour of the show, maybe.
Joku was on track for 100 yards 

1334
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,439
and he got injured. 
Ferguson got hurt. 

1335
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,120
Bowers. 
Bowers cleared the rest of them 

1336
01:08:49,319 --> 01:08:51,640
pretty. 
Easily 88 targets I think. 

1337
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:56,279
And we got Kittle tonight, who I
somehow, sigh, opt everyone into

1338
01:08:56,279 --> 01:08:59,040
getting on the non. 
We didn't we. 

1339
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,960
No, no, he's on my side. 
He's on my side of the debate. 

1340
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:07,240
I see what you're. 
Doing all right, Pat. 

1341
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:09,760
Yeah, let's, let's get out of 
here. 

1342
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,880
I think everyone knows where to 
find us. 

1343
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:13,880
Won't do that whole thing 
because we got to go. 

1344
01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:19,960
We'll be back next week. 
Same time Monday is 1145 Eastern

1345
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,359
for some more bag defending and 
victory lapping. 

1346
01:09:22,399 --> 01:09:24,920
This is ADP chasing. 
We'll see you guys next week.
