1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,640
All right, Ship chasing is back 
at our afternoon time. 

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,360
We're going to move forward here
at this Thursday afternoon time 

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,920
slot. 
We got lots to catch up on. 

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,840
I believe last time the three of
us were on air, it was a late 

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,680
Friday night show with Dink and 
Leone getting ready for the FFPC

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,440
playoff challenge. 
So do a little recap on what's 

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,280
transpired in the playoffs, how 
our FFPC portfolio is looking, 

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,680
maybe if we got any other 
playoff best ball sweats and and

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,440
the like. 
It's good to be back, Pete, 

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,920
Gretch and Pat. 
Let's do some ship chasing here.

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,280
Pat Fryer, Helmo Anita. 
Hand Job. 

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:50,960
Fix your sight. 
Jamar Alpha play chase you. 

13
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,560
Can't handle the heat. 
It looks like we're finally at 

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:01:03,600
this point. 
All right, fellas, it does feel 

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,240
like it's been a long time here.
We've had a lot of football that

16
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,560
has transpired since we were 
last on the airwaves. 

17
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,120
How we doing? 
Gretchen Pat. 

18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,720
Doing good. 
How you guys doing? 

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,160
Good. 
Yeah, there's been a lot of 

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,240
football. 
We we're last doing the playoff 

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,520
stuff. 
I was just thinking about it 

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,800
before we went live. 
It's crazy. 

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,040
Like, there's still a lot to 
come for the sweats for like 

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,440
underdog where you're just 
trying to kind of advance each 

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,000
round. 
But at this point, we're through

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,360
two rounds. 
You think of it as like, there's

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,880
4 rounds in FFPC, 110 of the 14 
teams are finalized. 

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,200
The other four teams have, you 
know, have played and we kind of

29
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,800
have an idea of what they're 
going to be as well. 

30
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,440
Like the tournament's like 90% 
done right, right? 

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,520
Yeah. 
Well over on on underdog and 

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,600
stuff, it's it's kind of, you 
know, it's consolidated too, 

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,440
because you're there's like kind
of these chalk teams that have 

34
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,040
advanced like you're kind of 
you're, there's specific 

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,960
instructions that have advanced.
So like you're like, you're, 

36
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,000
you're happy if you have like a 
Mahomes Saquon, like I have AI 

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,520
have a gauntlet that's Mahomes, 
Saquon, Kelsey worthy Hollywood.

38
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,880
But it's like in a pod with a 
like a better version of that. 

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,600
And then I know when I get to, 
if I, if I get to the final, 

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,560
that I'm going to be like facing
off against probably better 

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,600
probably blocks. 
There's probably a version of 

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,120
that team that also has Kareem 
Hunt or Kareem Hunt and sell 

43
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,920
Hollywood, right? 
So it's like there's that team. 

44
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:40,640
There's also the, the, the 
Jayden Daniels version of, of 

45
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:44,200
stuff with maybe that has Saquon
too, but then also has chiefs. 

46
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,480
So it's going to be interesting.
I think the bills making the 

47
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,440
Super Bowl would really shake up
the playoff baseball concept 

48
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,160
because there's very few bills 
that have advanced. 

49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,000
I also happen to have a live DK 
team that has Jayden Daniels and

50
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,400
Bills. 
So this is me also selfishly 

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,880
hoping that the Bills get that 
team through, but yeah. 

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,040
Because if you, if you would 
have known the outcome and the 

53
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,240
scores of say like the Bills 
games and the fantasy points, 

54
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,240
you probably would have just 
drafted like Allen, Ty Johnson 

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,400
and like Curtis Samuel, like 
just like get through with those

56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,920
two and then just have Allen as 
like your only piece. 

57
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:23,280
I don't even know that you draft
Allen. 

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,040
I think you draft Daniels and 
Hertz and you, you know what I 

59
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,840
mean? 
And you're like, I'll like 

60
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,520
because Allen hasn't scored 
enough points. 

61
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,640
I had some sick Allen teams I 
thought heading into last week 

62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,040
and I was like, as long as Allen
does his part, I'm in and I'm 

63
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,520
not. 
I didn't get it, you know. 

64
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Yeah, I'm, I'm similar to you. 
I have one team in the Gauntlet 

65
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,080
final say it's actually pretty 
good. 

66
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,640
It has seven live players, but 
it is there's a similar 

67
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,960
construction to a lot of though,
which is Mahomes. 

68
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,200
It's Mahomes and Daniels on both
of them. 

69
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,960
And then I have Barkley. 
But the reason the team like 

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,640
worked out so well is 'cause I 
had Ladd and JK Dobbins as a 

71
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,240
round one advancement and then I
had likely last week as a one 

72
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,400
off piece. 
And those two things like helped

73
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,040
keep the other seven players 
intact. 

74
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,240
But you you really had to thread
a crazy a crazy needle there. 

75
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,360
I don't I don't draft a lot of 
those, but that's what I've seen

76
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,040
on I mean, I was a Cam. 
I don't draft any of them other 

77
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,440
than with you guys a little bit.
But that's what I'm saying on 

78
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,160
Twitter is people being like the
ways to advance this year were 

79
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,200
to just have like basically, not
necessarily good builds, builds 

80
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,600
like the what the the lineup 
center thought to be dead. 

81
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,600
We're just taking random players
from different teams that have 

82
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:38,960
a. 
Bad. 

83
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Well, you needed to have like a 
kind of a team That was not what

84
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,160
I would say was like optimal, 
but wasn't a total garbage pile 

85
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,720
either, right, Because you need 
to have a lot of teams that are 

86
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,080
so the the nuts, the nut. 
Like if you have Jay and Daniels

87
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,720
with a bunch of Eagles, that's 
pretty sweet because especially 

88
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,080
if you have like Bills or Chiefs
on the other side, now you're 

89
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,280
like, you're feeling great. 
You couldn't. 

90
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,080
Get the Eagles through because 
AJ Brown's done nothing. 

91
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Devante Smith has done nothing 
like. 

92
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,240
Well, that's why you need 
Daniels. 

93
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:14,160
You have to have Daniel to make.
You had to basically use you had

94
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,360
to build like the Eagles had a 
bye with commanders with your 

95
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,360
bye league team. 
And but like then then you'd be,

96
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,880
but you'd still like built a 
very structurally sound team 

97
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,600
with that one thing. 
Like I'm going to draft the 

98
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,400
Eagles, like they're not going 
to score any points because they

99
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,600
have a bye. 
But then I'm going to like keep 

100
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,880
it ideological after that so 
that I have like a bunch of live

101
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,400
commanders, bunch of live chiefs
or Bills. 

102
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,080
You're right. 
And you probably have lad or 

103
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,880
some other advance rate piece on
there too. 

104
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,440
That's dead. 
But it's tough because you you 

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,000
still need to have like, you 
know, 6-7, ideally more live 

106
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,760
pieces, but it's tricky. 
Yeah, and we were talking about 

107
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,960
this on Swellcast and Davis's 
line was Kitchen said did you 

108
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,600
learn anything because Davis 
didn't advance any. 

109
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,280
James and David just said what 
is there to learn? 

110
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,080
And partly it does. 
Like with the randomness of how 

111
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,400
some of this breaks, it's like, 
I don't know what the actionable

112
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:11,800
takeaways are. 
It's just a very cruel random 

113
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,400
game. 
Yeah, I, I am, I am starting to 

114
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,080
let's see, I got this, the team 
I got through in DraftKings, 

115
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,960
maybe I can pull it up is I am, 
I am excited about it. 

116
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
It requires, I mean, it has to 
be the right Super Bowl, but. 

117
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,080
Yeah, the if. 
I get the right Super Bowl. 

118
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,400
I'm I'm very live. 
So we should talk a little bit 

119
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:45,200
about our FFPC, obviously, 
because we went pretty hard at 

120
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,720
it like usual. 
Gretsch, do you want to kind of 

121
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,240
maybe set the table for people 
kind of like what our overall 

122
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,360
portfolio look like or what kind
of our big stands look like 

123
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:03,120
heading into the first round? 
Yeah, We had 80 teams in the 200

124
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,360
dollar one, so pretty, pretty 
big. 

125
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,880
Went pretty hard at it. 
Like you said, definitely tried 

126
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,720
to balance our exposures and 
stuff relative to Pat's 

127
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,120
ownership projections, which 
came in really, really great. 

128
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,000
We haven't had time to talk 
through that, but your ownership

129
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,200
projections were, I think, the 
best ever, right? 

130
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,000
I think it was my best every 
year, yeah. 

131
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,760
Hats off to you on that. 
That was awesome. 

132
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,120
We had, I'm pulling up our 
leverage right now, our biggest 

133
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:41,440
underweight position on I guess 
this is yeah, it ended up. 

134
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,200
Being an actual. 
Leverage. 

135
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,760
It ended up being Saquon Barbie.
So we were like, look, you know,

136
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,640
we went down with Saquon in the 
regular season. 

137
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,520
We might as well go. 
Down. 

138
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,320
In the post season as well our 
third biggest was Lad Mcconkey 

139
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,880
who scored the most non QB 
actually I think the most raw 

140
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,680
points. 
Remember how grossed out the 

141
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,800
chat was by the by the lad 
chalk? 

142
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,800
The lad chalk grossed the the 
the chat could was barfing in 

143
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,000
the streets. 
We had people watching while 

144
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,400
they're outside walking the dog,
just puking into the gutter and 

145
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,120
he was the absolute nuts. 
He was and then we all get to be

146
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,600
to puke. 
He had that 88 yard touchdown 

147
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,000
catch. 
I think that broke Leone because

148
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,920
the first game was going really 
well for our different positions

149
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,280
and that play because we had 
like an overweight position on 

150
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,600
the Chargers D, for example. 
Yeah, and without that play, 

151
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,200
Lad's score was fine, but not 
like you had to have it. 

152
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,919
And the Chargers D had had a 
really strong game in a loss, 

153
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,320
and they were looking really 
likely to be the optimal D. 

154
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,440
And as soon as he had that play,
it's like, well, now Houston's 

155
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,080
D, who had already had a 
defensive touchdown, might be 

156
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,360
optimal at a 2 gamer. 
And a lot of our like Chargers D

157
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,920
stuff was like predicated on 
Nico or we had our overweight 

158
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,600
position on Joe Mixon as well, 
because the market really didn't

159
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760
like the Texans to win. 
And we, it turns out, smartly 

160
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,920
played the Texans to win more 
than the market. 

161
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,800
Unfortunately, even though the 
Texans won, lad was so explosive

162
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,080
with that late 80 plus yard 
touchdown. 

163
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,240
He had to be in and and the the 
the Texans saw fades in two 

164
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,000
games were viable. 
So it was almost like you wanted

165
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,440
to be playing it the way that 
the field did as if the Chargers

166
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,720
won. 
That one didn't break our way 

167
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,520
all really because of that 
Mcconkey big play. 

168
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,160
That's why I say it kind of 
broke me in the first game. 

169
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,720
But like as we were tracking it 
through the whole weekend, 

170
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,640
everything else went really well
for our positions. 

171
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,840
We also had Maconkey. 
Maconkey wasn't like someone we 

172
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,920
we played with a lot of teams, 
so we had good Maconkey teams as

173
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,960
well. 56% field ownership, we 
were at 40%. 

174
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,880
We were 16 points underweight, 
but still had him on 40% of our 

175
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,120
teams. 
So it's not like we didn't have 

176
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,960
any Maconkey, right. 
And so we had some really good 

177
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,920
Maconkey teams. 
What is that 40% of of 80 teams 

178
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,400
is should be able to do that 
math, but it's 32, I think I. 

179
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Mean, I think that's all right. 
A decent number of teams, 

180
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,520
obviously they have Mcconkey, 
and we had some really good 

181
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,240
builds after the Saturday night 
game. 

182
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,880
The Sunday morning and the 
Sunday afternoon was the Packers

183
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,120
game, and we had a really big 
overweight position on Josh 

184
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,000
Jacobs. 
That was a very specific one 

185
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,400
that we thought #1 the Packers 
had a chance to potentially 

186
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,920
upset. 
They didn't really play well 

187
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,920
enough to do that. 
But again, that we thought that 

188
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,200
the field would play it less 
than the market was telling us. 

189
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,320
The odds were because the market
did kind of like the Packers in 

190
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,360
a way that was maybe a little 
bit overpriced, but you know, 

191
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,000
looking back on it because they 
didn't look great. 

192
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,280
But Jacob scored their only 
touchdown and was sort of the 

193
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,360
key piece in a loss there. 
And so we were pumped about 

194
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,640
that. 
Jacobs was a guy we knew we 

195
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,600
needed to get right. 
We locked him in as the as the 

196
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,320
clear Packers piece, but he 
wound up not even really 

197
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,240
mattering, in part because the 
chalk just absolutely smashed 

198
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:45,440
in. 
This. 

199
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,680
Contest you could also get that 
piece was with with Pickens and 

200
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:51,400
stuff right. 
You could go get another guy who

201
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,120
was like solid in a loss. 
Those weren't like. 

202
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,960
Even Pickens. 
Pickens, what wasn't super high 

203
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,080
own, but in terms of actual 
ownership. 

204
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,600
So Jefferson, Nakua were the top
2, but we were talking about all

205
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,600
this before Monday night and 
Jefferson obviously ended up 

206
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,920
failing and it did. 
It did help us because we had a 

207
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,560
decent Hawkinson position, but 
Nakua winds up with a pretty 

208
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:16,560
good score. 
Saquons, the next guy he hits in

209
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,120
this tournament. 
Kelsey's the next guy. 

210
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,520
Clear chalk tight end hits in, 
you know, in both games so far 

211
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,320
he's hit big. 
Mcconkey was the next chalkiest 

212
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,080
player at 56% by the field. 
He obviously was massive. 

213
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,280
Derrick Henry's next, because 
the field really played Josh 

214
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,480
Allen Henry combinations like we
talked about and Henry had 190 

215
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,560
something rushing yards and two 
touchdowns in the first round. 

216
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,200
And so he was it over Allen and 
Allen threw touchdowns to Ty 

217
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,360
Johnson and Dawson Knocks in the
first round or whatever. 

218
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,280
And then he became the logical 1
and he's in the second round. 

219
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,160
So yeah, I mean, the Allen teams
are very live, but oddly enough,

220
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,520
the Jane Daniels teams are are 
pretty live as well. 

221
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,640
Not oddly enough, but the the 
Allen or Jane Daniels 

222
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:59,960
quarterback path is is really 
going to be the answer. 

223
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:02,200
And Henry, who was really 
chalky, is going to be the 

224
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Baltimore answer. 
And so anyway, the point was 

225
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,000
like the top scoring players 
across the board, you know, 

226
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,880
including like Terry McLaren, 
including Nico Collins, all of 

227
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,280
these dudes scored. 
So the Jacobs play was like. 

228
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,120
Yeah, Daniels should be amazing 
as like a pivot, but he's not 

229
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,840
because the Bills don't score 
any points, so you still just 

230
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,760
want Allen assuming they go to 
the Super Bowl. 

231
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,680
Daniels now has to like go to 
the Super Bowl and not face 

232
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,080
Allen to be the the quarterback 
that you actually want. 

233
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,440
Because you'd probably rather 
just have Terry instead of a 

234
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,160
Bill, right? 
The Bills don't. 

235
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,000
It's all spread out so. 
Mclaurin's big first round made 

236
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,760
it tough for Daniels. 
So there was a bunch of dudes. 

237
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,960
When I say a bunch, there was 
maybe like 15, I can't remember 

238
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,560
the exact number that had 34% or
higher ownership, so 1/3 of the 

239
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,920
field or more. 
And then the rest of the field, 

240
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,840
the rest of the players in the 
in the player pool were 25% or 

241
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,440
less. 
So there's this like real 

242
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,280
delineation where you're either 
in a third of the lineups or 

243
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,320
more or a quarter or less. 
And if all the players and a 

244
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,800
third or more, basically all of 
them are going to be optimal or 

245
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,000
close to optimal for their team,
except for the players that were

246
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,280
the teams where there was 
multiple players. 

247
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,280
So like Gibbs and Amanraw, the 
one that ended up working out 

248
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,760
really poorly is the guy that I 
loved all week was Bucky Irving.

249
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,200
And he still had like 16 points,
scored a touchdown and all this 

250
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,720
stuff. 
But Evans was a little better 

251
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,800
and Chase McLaughlin wound up 
wound up being a really great 

252
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,640
kicker option. 
But the big thing that hurt us 

253
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,160
on Sunday night was that Tampa 
Washington game. 

254
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,840
We had a really big fade 
position on Mclaurin, one of the

255
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:42,880
ways, one of the. 
Ways this tournaments works is 

256
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,480
even if you have a bunch of 
teams, you end up getting 

257
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,160
funneled because there's like 
OK, you got a bunch of teams, 

258
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,200
but like you don't have like 
every single combo evenly 

259
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,440
distributed on each team. 
So what ends up happening is 

260
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,480
like where are lad teams? 
Where are the LAD teams that are

261
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,680
paired with, you know, Houston D
or Nico or, you know, like the 

262
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:05,840
right fades on the other games 
that don't? 

263
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,400
What are the lat teams that 
don't have Jefferson? 

264
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,640
So you're like you're all kind 
of funneled. 

265
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,680
I guess the Jefferson game was 
after, but you know what I mean?

266
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:15,520
You're kind of looking for the 
right combos and the combos that

267
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,200
we were looking at that were 
pretty good. 

268
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,240
In fact that we're leading the 
contest. 

269
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,720
We had the number one team in 
the contest heading into the 

270
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Tampa Bay game. 
So we were feeling good about 

271
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,560
that team. 
That was a straight up 

272
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,080
Washington fade, a hard fade, 
hard fade, which could have. 

273
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,040
We had a bunch of other stuff. 
Yeah, that was that was all kind

274
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,800
of they lose. 
And they probably should have 

275
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,240
lost. 
That was the other thing that 

276
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,720
broke all of us. 
Because Baker fumbles an end 

277
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,280
around. 
Play with Jalen. 

278
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,720
McMillan, This is what I was 
talking about this offseason 

279
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,320
about Jalen McMillan being 
unreliable. 

280
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,360
This is he had these drops in. 
That's the shit that I was 

281
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,360
trying to tell you guys. 
The biggest moments. 

282
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,160
This dude is like not getting 
his hands up for a fucking 

283
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,280
handoff. 
Like I was watching that game 

284
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,480
and I was like, this is what I 
was trying to convey to people. 

285
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,960
Like just like the lack of 
focus. 

286
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Anyway, the fucking settle was 
that they get a short field 

287
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,040
touchdown, they drive all the 
way down and they have a shot to

288
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,480
score TD to regain the lead and 
fumble another snap and then 

289
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,680
have to kick a tying field goal 
and turn the ball back over in a

290
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,160
tie game with like 2 minutes 
left. 

291
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,040
Washington goes down, kicks the 
game whenever they win the Game.

292
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,640
2 snaps hap related snafus in 
the last like 2 minutes. 

293
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,840
I mean that was a such a 
frustrating thing cuz to your 

294
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,200
point we had a lot of these 
teams where we are fading. 

295
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,560
Washington corn had a good game 
but not like a must have game 

296
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,560
necessarily. 
I have. 

297
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,720
A. 
Jacob B. 

298
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,960
Both the kickers in that game 
were doing well. 

299
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,960
If Washington loses that, we had
a huge overweight position on 

300
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,880
Zane Gonzalez. 
He becomes a really nice kicker 

301
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,960
option that trades off with the 
Mclaurin stuff. 

302
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,640
Because so many other chalk 
players hit, you didn't have to 

303
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,440
have Mclaurin. 
You might actually have wanted 

304
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,840
their kicker, even though 
Mclaurin. 

305
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,280
Kind of sucked too. 
The losing. 

306
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,080
The losing team kickers kind of 
sucked, right? 

307
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,080
All the. 
Cookers were terrible. 

308
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,920
It was it was like blowouts all 
weekend. 

309
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,240
And so we're in this position 
where like, man, if Tampa pulls 

310
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,080
this out, we have some really 
nice teams that do have Mcconkey

311
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,480
but have Washington soft fades. 
And instead, because Washington 

312
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,160
won, it basically locked in, 
you're going to wind up needing 

313
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,320
a Washington player. 
And and then it flipped the 

314
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,400
Tampa side to the clear saw fade
because McLaughlin had kicked a 

315
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,200
bunch of fuel and we were 
underweight. 

316
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,480
McLaughlin, as it as it turned 
out, because we had a lot of 

317
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,200
Evans, we had a lot of Bucky. 
Some of the Evans stuff worked. 

318
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Some of the Bucky stuff was 
certainly not as good, but was 

319
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,320
on some of our better teams. 
And we're sitting there like, 

320
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,720
man, if Tampa would have pulled 
that game out, which is a 

321
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,760
fascinating sliding doors thing,
We were talking about it with 

322
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,240
Dink the other day. 
Because Tampa would have played 

323
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,080
Philly and then the Rams would 
have went or sorry, yeah, Tampa 

324
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,680
would have played Philly. 
The Rams would have went to 

325
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,560
Detroit. 
And so where would we be at now?

326
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,200
Because Washington goes to 
Detroit and wins. 

327
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,080
Yeah, the whole postseason. 
Yeah, it's wild. 

328
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,720
And the, the other thing too, 
you mentioned, like the chalk, 

329
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,960
the one way you could tell it's 
pretty chalky is like there's a 

330
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,280
bunch of like dupes up at the 
top. 

331
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,119
You know, if if the if the 
bracket breaks in a slightly 

332
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,760
contrarian way, you're probably 
not seeing too many dupes at the

333
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,599
top. 
But there's like a train here in

334
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:16,359
fourth place. 
Our guy Toyo looks like he self 

335
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,920
duped himself here. 
The two teams in second are 

336
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,640
duped. 
Toyo and duped both of my Toyo. 

337
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,119
I love how he's duped. 
Yeah. 

338
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,960
That's so good. 
But yeah, you can see that team 

339
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:35,160
in first. 
So much chalk here, other than, 

340
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,000
you know, mixing, mixing and 
Jacobs, I guess. 

341
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,160
What? 
What did Jacobs come in? 

342
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,280
Did he come in as chalk? 
He he was not really that he was

343
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,480
34%. 
He was like that last one I was 

344
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,880
talking about that cut off of 
he's right at like 1/3 of teams.

345
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,600
So not like heavy chalk that. 
Counts as a pivot in this 

346
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,640
contest. 
It does, yeah. 

347
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,040
Yeah. 
But other than that, looking at 

348
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,720
this, I mean, it's what it's 
it's Chase McLaughlin in Jacobs 

349
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,160
like or sorry in Nixon. 
Rams defense Rams defense is a 

350
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,040
big pivot. 
Yeah, getting off of Puka, who 

351
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,800
was the second highest that's 
true roster player, which is 

352
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,640
fascinating because they played 
two games and so to have the 

353
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,080
Rams defense they have Jefferson
that teams in first. 

354
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,840
I mean, that's what, what am I 
because? 

355
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,920
What Rams defense just had so 
many sacks in both of those? 

356
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,080
They did. 
That's right. 

357
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,240
They they were like. 
One of the nuts after that. 

358
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:31,360
And Puka didn't really have a 
great game in either game. 

359
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:35,640
I guess I hadn't really thought 
through that, but he didn't have

360
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,800
a great game in the first game. 
Kyron had more points in him in 

361
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,400
the first game. 
The second game, because I 

362
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,320
played a little bit of the of 
the round two tournament with 

363
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,280
Sean and in the second game, 
which just starts in the second 

364
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,760
round, he was behind Chiron for 
most of the game. 

365
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,000
At the end, he caught a couple 
passes, went ahead of Chiron. 

366
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,600
They both finished behind 
Higbee, who some people like 

367
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,440
pivoted to and like some Higbee 
lineups have a shot to win that 

368
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,680
Round 2 contest. 
But anyway, Puka's Puka and 

369
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,400
Jefferson were the two chalkiest
players wound up both being 

370
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,200
players you didn't necessarily 
have to have, which is the one, 

371
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:07,680
you know, way that Chuck didn't 
hit. 

372
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,400
Right. 
Yes, Bruce saying was Texans D 

373
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,960
the defense he needed. 
No, so far it's looking like 

374
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,920
Rams. 
And there as I click through 

375
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,440
some of these teams at the top, 
there were a lot of different 

376
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,480
Texans. 
There's some mix in. 

377
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,160
There's a Nico, there's a fair 
Baron. 

378
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,840
But what? 
What's technically optimal for 

379
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,200
Texans Nixon? 
I don't know. 

380
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,160
I do. 
I think there's a couple 

381
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,360
different combinations. 
First of all, because 

382
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:44,400
essentially there was no clear 
one and done soft fade options 

383
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,040
that were like really perfect. 
Like even that team just clicked

384
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:49,240
on Chris Ballwell. 
What's that? 

385
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,640
McLaughlin was probably pretty 
close, but I don't think he was 

386
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,240
played heavy enough. 
Maybe as maybe he was played a 

387
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,400
decent amount, but just not like
so, so much. 

388
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,400
He couldn't have played that. 
Much because of Bucky Evans 

389
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,240
chalk. 
Right. 

390
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,720
Yeah, He was only played 4% by 
the field, but like you just 

391
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,600
clicked on Boswell. 
Boswell was the chalkiest 

392
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,400
kicker. 
He had like one point or two 

393
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,120
points, but he's actually in 
some of these very best build. 

394
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:17,520
He was one in some of our best 
lineups where we played him a 

395
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,440
little bit sort of by 
happenstance for us because we 

396
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,080
didn't have a big position on 
him. 

397
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,840
Actually, we did. 
We we played him 19%. 

398
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,000
So that was part of why we had 
him in a decent amount of teams.

399
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,760
But I think because the and one 
of the things we'll have to 

400
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,360
think about next year, and I 
think as far as lessons learned,

401
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:38,240
as we've always talked about the
soft fades, you want to play 

402
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,560
them on one and done teams. 
Last year, the Texans were 

403
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,360
optimal in two games. 
This year, the Texans were 

404
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:47,440
looking close to optimal, but 
maybe aren't because the Rams 

405
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,040
might be in two games because 
their players didn't really hit.

406
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,360
I'm starting to think that one 
of the like longer term lessons 

407
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:58,280
is we have to consider more of 
these soft fades in multiple 

408
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:03,600
game situations, which is. 
It's just annoying because 

409
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,480
that's how the field plays it, 
right? 

410
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,400
Well, it's like you're going to,
we're probably going to the 

411
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,760
field a little bit more on that.
And yeah, the hard fades on the 

412
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,160
teams that like you definitely 
like you really, really want 

413
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,200
your hard fades to lose. 
So the the teams that get over 

414
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,760
faded, you got they got to you 
want them to win like the 

415
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,440
Packers. 
And it was frustrating because 

416
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,080
the Packers, the Eagles do not 
look approved at all, right. 

417
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,880
They they, they kind of tried to
give that Rams game away. 

418
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,080
The Packers go out and lose the 
opening kickoff to the fumble 

419
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,080
and everything and then kind of 
just like just didn't have it in

420
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,040
that game. 
But the Eagles did not look that

421
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,520
great in that game. 
So in like a different universe,

422
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,480
I I could see the seven seed 
winning in round one, but 

423
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:55,920
ultimately like, yeah, Jacobs 
didn't have a big enough game. 

424
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,480
And then you then you lose the 
ability to have hard faded one 

425
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,280
of the teams that that was 
pretty likely to lose in round 

426
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,600
one. 
So yeah, but Boswell kicker is 

427
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,880
probably worse than than it. 
I mean, that was chalk too. 

428
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,360
I, I, I was wrong about that. 
I keep being wrong about the 

429
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,680
chalk kicker. 
It drives me nuts. 

430
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,280
I thought it was going to be 
Zane and then it ended up being 

431
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,240
Boswell, which kind of makes 
sense. 

432
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,760
But I actually think to your 
point, Ben is is probably not 

433
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,640
good. 
Like if you're picking them to 

434
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,000
lose you probably just hard fade
them. 

435
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,720
It it right, But it's it's the 
classic, you know, he feels 

436
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,160
comfy because he had such a good
season. 

437
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,160
You know, Pickens limps into the
playoffs doing nothing. 

438
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:45,240
And even though you should just 
fade them, it feels good to have

439
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,560
a kicker that you actually like.
It was the one name brand kind 

440
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,560
of kicker. 
Right. 

441
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,280
That was. 
So we just to finish that a 

442
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,800
couple of thoughts there. 
We we went in the division round

443
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,240
not in great position. 
The Vikings Rams game did go our

444
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,360
way. 
We did need some like crazy 

445
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:03,040
chalk to miss a little bit in 
the game. 

446
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,640
It did. 
Big time, yeah. 

447
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,160
Yeah, Hawkinson was a a big 
piece and he ended up the 

448
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,640
Vikings top scoring player. 
So our some of our Hawkinson's 

449
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,200
teams were in really good shape 
going into the division round. 

450
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,160
The biggest thing Leonie was 
talking about during the week 

451
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,600
was we needed A.J. 
Brown to come back and have a 

452
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,840
big game for the Eagles and be 
right for the Eagles. 

453
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,400
And Saquon went absolutely nuts 
against the Rams. 

454
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,120
So that was the nail in our 
coffin was that Saquon game 

455
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,040
against the Rams in the division
round. 

456
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,520
We're pretty, pretty dusty at 
that point. 

457
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,640
But to Pat's point, we had the 
team that was number one unduped

458
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,200
overall with a Washington fade. 
If Tampa would have won that 

459
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,520
game. 
In addition to that part of the 

460
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,720
IT wasn't just that team. 
We had another top 10 unduped 

461
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,720
team that had the Zen Gonzalez 
thing we were talking about and 

462
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,440
had either Evans or Bucky. 
And then we had, I want to say 

463
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,640
two more in the top 100 that 
were reliant on this Tampa over 

464
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,320
Washington path. 
They're really pretty reliant on

465
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,120
that. 
So we were going to have like 4 

466
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:04,680
really nice combinations going 
forward. 

467
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,640
If Tampa would have just closed 
out Washington in a game that 

468
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,680
they fucking should have won 
like they they absolutely should

469
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,120
have won. 
So I thought a couple people 

470
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:19,360
were asking about our Jane 
Daniels teams because we do have

471
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,400
some Jane Daniels. 
What what percentage was he 

472
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,320
rostered and what did we play 
him at? 

473
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:31,240
Daniels was, I mean we had a, we
had him in, I want to say like 

474
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,160
he had six climates, maybe 66. 
Let me find him. 

475
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,440
He was in 3% of the field. 
We played him 9%. 

476
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,240
We had seven. 
It was right between what me and

477
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,720
Pat said. 
The tricky thing on that is we 

478
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,440
all really like the Daniels 
stuff. 

479
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,120
And when we started to do our 
builds, we were like, OK, we'll 

480
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:51,480
start with some of the, you 
know, the, the non chalky 

481
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,040
quarterbacks. 
Let's knock some of those teams 

482
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,000
out. 
And we built the Daniels teams 

483
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,480
1st. 
And I remember this because on, 

484
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,360
on Saturday, we were going back 
through like a whole portfolio 

485
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:01,760
trying to like line things up 
and figure out some of the 

486
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,360
combinatorial stuff. 
And it's, it's a, it's a whole 

487
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:06,960
process when you do a lot of 
teams in, in this because 

488
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,640
they're, they're all 
uncorrelated builds, right? 

489
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,360
So you do, as Pat was saying, 
like you do wind up on these 

490
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:14,240
certain paths where you're like,
because of certain things 

491
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,560
happening, all your good lad 
teams have this and you don't 

492
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,240
you still want to have your lad 
team spread out on the Bucky 

493
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,880
versus Mike Evans point, right? 
Like you want, you don't want to

494
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,640
have everything be completely 
lined a certain way. 

495
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,440
So we're trying to do that as 
best as we could. 

496
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,560
And we we were talking about 
Daniel's and I remember him 

497
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,560
being like, I don't really want 
to touch with Daniel's teams. 

498
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,440
We spent the most time on that 
because they were the first 

499
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,720
teams we did. 
And we really did spend a ton of

500
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,440
time on it. 
And not because we always start 

501
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,000
really inefficiently when we 
start our Bills on Friday night 

502
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,760
after the show, but after the 
contest had started and we're 

503
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,320
looking at it, we're seeing 
Daniel's could be good. 

504
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,160
I kept looking at those teams 
and I'm like, man, these are 

505
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,840
like they're not our best 
builds. 

506
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,520
It's like we kind of, as we 
started building more, we kind 

507
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,560
of found the things that we 
liked and we had some really fun

508
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,440
builds. 
I think with other quarterbacks,

509
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,880
this is just my perception of 
it, but we because because we 

510
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,680
started with the Daniels builds,
I feel like they're overly like 

511
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,720
leveraged and wonky and weird, 
not like our best possible set 

512
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,560
of seven Daniels teams. 
We played all the, I think as a 

513
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,920
as a whole, the issue with our 
Daniels teams was that we played

514
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:23,400
Daniels as A2 game play. 
We never played Daniels to beat 

515
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,920
the Lions. 
What happened, right? 

516
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,920
So like it was all like, well, 
we got to make sure we got 

517
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,760
Cortland Sutton in there. 
We got to get right. 

518
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,160
We we would saw fade Buffalo. 
So the album wasn't even in the 

519
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:36,920
tournament. 
Yeah. 

520
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,960
And then? 
Maybe let's fade bucker so we 

521
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,640
don't even have a chief. 
And it's like, what if, and I 

522
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,480
know this thing's crazy, but 
what if the commanders win two 

523
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,640
games? 
Like why? 

524
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,880
We didn't really build line UPS 
like that, which is another 

525
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,040
path. 
The most the obvious path was 

526
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,320
Daniels is optimal in two 
because like Allen blows it and 

527
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,160
Lamar doesn't and it's Henry and
then like, but they lose to the 

528
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,840
chiefs or whatever. 
But we could have just done the 

529
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,480
simplest. 
The path of least resistance 

530
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,520
really is just like the 
commander's surprise. 

531
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,040
And in three games, Daniels is 
optimal. 

532
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,160
If it's not Josh Allen, if it is
Daniels, the Bills, what is it 

533
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,520
going to be? 
James Cook, Who's it going to 

534
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,920
be, do you guys think? 
Probably cook. 

535
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,840
Probably. 
So I'm looking at our teams. 

536
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,120
Of our seven teams, it looks 
like we had two cooks because to

537
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:28,920
Pat's point, we did. 
We did Bass, we did a hard 

538
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,280
Buffalo fade. 
We have two Shakur's, We have a 

539
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,720
Daniels Kincaid team it looks 
like as well. 

540
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,720
So we were we were doing these 
weird like one and done 

541
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,280
potential scenarios or fluky 
like 2 gamers for Buffalo 

542
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,400
because you're you're inherently
fading Alan. 

543
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,600
And to your point, you're like, 
we're thinking, oh, well, it's 

544
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,400
probably a 2 gamer for Daniels. 
So we need Alan to like, you 

545
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,560
know, not be right. 
And so we need some weird things

546
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,240
to happen for Buffalo And we did
other weird stuff. 

547
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:01,280
We have some KCDST on two or 
three of these Daniels teams 

548
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,800
looks like. 
So there's just like. 

549
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,480
It's too much weird. 
I'm bummed about that because we

550
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,240
we did like the Daniels 
position, but you, you build 80 

551
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,720
teams and you're three times the
field's weight and yet this is a

552
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,080
12 man lineup and you just don't
have a good combination for what

553
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,880
actually happened. 
It's it's a dynamic that you 

554
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,000
were just describing that kind 
of plays out like in basketball 

555
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,680
mania drafting right where say 
you go hard at someone like 

556
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,240
look, this is actually a really 
good example. 

557
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,600
I was drafting a shit ton of 
Marvin Mims at the beginning of 

558
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,000
the season and then I'm like, 
all right, this isn't looking 

559
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,520
good. 
Like I need to back off of this 

560
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,880
exposure. 
Sean Payton's going to Sean 

561
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,240
Payton. 
Then at the end of the year, I'm

562
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,480
building my information heavy 
teams. 

563
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,800
You know, I'm getting my Jordan 
Masons on there and building 

564
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,720
these really good teams and I'm 
done taking Marvin Mintz, who 

565
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,440
ends up being a really fucking 
nice piece and. 

566
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,480
The plus but. 
I'm already done with it from an

567
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,640
exposure standpoint. 
And it's like, how do you break 

568
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,120
out of like these takes I have, 
I want to sprinkle them out 

569
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,160
throughout your whole portfolio.
It's hard to do. 

570
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,200
Yeah, but you know The funny 
thing about what I just said of 

571
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,360
like, why didn't we build Jayden
Daniels just to beat the Lions? 

572
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,680
I bet you we don't end up with 
Gibbs on those teams, right? 

573
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,960
And we need you want Gibbs back.
So it's like Daniels. 

574
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,920
How do you get to Daniels Gibbs 
without some goofy, you know, 

575
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,960
Tyler Bass, Scotland, Sutton 
pivot? 

576
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,920
It was kind of tricky. 
You you kind of we always talk 

577
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,360
about building a bracket and 
then playing that bracket. 

578
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,960
And it was Daniels was a tough 
one to like really see like, OK,

579
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,120
the Lions are going to score 
very they're going to run the 

580
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,720
ball really effectively with 
Gibbs and he's going to go nuts.

581
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,720
But then they're going to lose 
at home. 

582
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,520
Like, OK, what are they going to
give up 45 points to the rookie 

583
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,880
quarterback? 
Give me a break. 

584
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,880
That even setting aside the 
Buffalo stuff as you were 

585
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,760
talking through, like how bad 
you want Gibbs, we have 7 

586
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,160
Daniels teams. 
Again, I just mentioned that 

587
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,600
it's 3 * a field because of the 
way that this tournament just 

588
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:08,640
works out as you build stuff. 
We have 3 Gibbs teams, 3 Almond 

589
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,600
raw teams I'm missing. 
Maybe we have a Lapora team in 

590
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,200
here. 
And then we had four Mcconkey 

591
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,720
teams with Daniels as well, 
which is like 4 out of seven. 

592
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,920
We were actually underweight the
field at 40%. 

593
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,280
So we actually got a nice little
bill or no, sorry, it's only 

594
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,720
three. 
So now I'm lying. 

595
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,120
Anyway, three out of seven 
closer to our actual percentage.

596
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,560
The 33 Mcconkey teams, 3 Gibbs 
teams, we landed with two that 

597
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,400
have both Mcconkey and Gibbs who
both wound up being like these 

598
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,760
awesome one off pieces on 
Daniels teams but like 1 is a 

599
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,080
KCDST team. 
The other one was our best 

600
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,320
Daniels team but it it ended up 
with Bucky and A.J. 

601
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,720
Brown. 
That's the one where we needed 

602
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,280
A.J. 
Brown or we needed Tampa to win 

603
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,440
and get Bucky. 
And that's the thing where a guy

604
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:58,160
like Jacobs or Pickens or Sutton
not going like nuclear in a 

605
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:03,200
loss, really, or like Hawkinson,
like someone it would have been 

606
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,680
if you're doing the Daniels 
thing, right, and you're doing 

607
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,200
like, OK, let's play it. 
We're going to be a little too 

608
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,280
cute. 
And we're going to bet we're 

609
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,280
going to take. 
Tyler Bass. 

610
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,880
We're going to take, you know, 
Justin Tucker, right, Raven's D 

611
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,960
that didn't work. 
But there's in this contest you 

612
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,880
can sometimes be saved by like 
getting Ferguson, you know, and 

613
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,400
there was no Ferguson this year.
Didn't have a Ferguson didn't 

614
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,720
really have anything close. 
So that's another thing that 

615
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,120
kind of broke against. 
So we we kind of sprinkle around

616
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,680
looking for Ferguson types. 
There wasn't one. 

617
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,000
Yeah, and I think, you know, 
it's always going to look silly 

618
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,840
when the chalk smashes, but the 
amount of line UPS you have to 

619
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,880
compete against when one of 
those underdog or contrarian 

620
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,320
plays does land in the optimal, 
it's like, holy shit, there's 

621
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,920
six other teams that are even 
live to compete against for 

622
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,720
this. 
And so I do think the lesson 

623
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,840
there is still like, I I want to
press those spots because it 

624
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,240
won't always go so chalky. 
You just, you just look like an 

625
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,560
idiot when it does go super 
chalky because you're like. 

626
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,440
Why wouldn't you have? 
Jameer Gibbs on this team. 

627
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,520
Yeah, This is why we do 80 teams
in this contest too, because 

628
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,960
like we we do want to press 
those spots and some of the like

629
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,520
the the the player that we 
played, the absolute that that 

630
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,480
we played at all that was in the
fewest number of teams, I 

631
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,600
believe was one of the Packers 
receivers because Leonie was 

632
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,960
insisting that we do a little 
bit of Jane Reed, but then also 

633
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,160
a little bit of Dobbs and Wicks.
I think Wicks was only in like 

634
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,840
40 teams. 
I think Dobbs only in like 50 or

635
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,520
maybe even less, but like one of
the things that happens is in 

636
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,080
these 12 man teams, like, OK, 
well, you're you're really we 

637
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,400
only put these guys into like 
one team, which and I think it 

638
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,960
was sharp to your point into 
what Leonie was arguing, I think

639
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,560
was was was frankly sharp. 
If those guys in a loss 

640
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,720
outscored Jacobs, which is not 
hard to see. 

641
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,400
All they had to do was be the 
guy who scored the touchdown at 

642
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,120
the end of the game. 
They scored one TD in the fourth

643
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,240
quarter. 
If instead of Jacobs, it was 

644
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,560
Wicks catching that, then he's 
like a really nice piece in this

645
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,280
contest, especially if the chalk
didn't hit as much as it did 

646
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,200
this year. 
We talked about how. 

647
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,720
Frankly been crap because 
remember we were thinking Kraft 

648
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,840
would have done this the push 
push instead of Jacobs he got he

649
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,600
got tackled right at the one and
we all thought Kraft was 

650
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,360
probably live to get that tush 
push. 

651
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,640
That's right, kind of a goofy 
way for the tight end to get in.

652
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,440
But like, easily could have been
craft. 

653
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,160
Yeah. 
And I mean, the, the, the, my 

654
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,440
whole thing though, is like when
you build any teams, you build a

655
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,080
couple of those guys in even 
when they hit in this contest, 

656
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,680
like part of the reason we're 
building a teams because even 

657
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,720
when they hit this contest, it's
like, what was that a Daniels 

658
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:31,840
team? 
Was that an Allen team wasn't a 

659
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,000
Lamar team? 
Maybe like, and then suddenly 

660
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,800
you're like, well, Lamar was not
right at all. 

661
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,960
You have to get the core pieces 
right, you know, and there's, 

662
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,840
there's just so many different 
ways that this build can go. 

663
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,640
I'm looking at our best Daniels 
team that has Gibbs and 

664
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,560
Mcconkey. 
It's a KCDST fate, which I think

665
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,160
is the biggest issue. 
And it had Sutton on it, but it 

666
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,760
has Henry as James Cook, it has 
Mike Evans, it had Hawkinson in 

667
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,640
addition to Naku. 
It has Saquon on it. 

668
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,360
Like, does it say no? 
We did play Saquon on some of 

669
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,960
these teams, I guess just 
because it has Casey's DST 

670
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,960
instead of Kelsey, Like because 
Kelsey wound up being pretty 

671
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,920
important out of, you know, he's
really hockey and he scored a 

672
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,120
ton of points. 
What? 

673
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,360
What place is that team in? 
I don't know. 

674
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,480
It's our team four. 
It's numbered. 

675
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,840
Because you also think about 
like from a, a leverage 

676
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,760
standpoint, like how do you keep
Josh Allen? 

677
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,320
You know, KC defense has a 
couple, you know, scores. 

678
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,600
Then all of a sudden it's like 
Jane's optimal KCDST can maybe 

679
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,520
approach Kelsey a little bit. 
And then you wipe out the bills,

680
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,719
too. 
Who is out there in that team? 

681
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,080
The bill on that one? 
Is well, if you wipe out the 

682
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,880
Bills, then you get KCDDST in 
the Super Bowl. 

683
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,920
You need to pick. 
You need Jane Daniels to get the

684
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,199
Super Bowl. 
They meltdown. 

685
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,719
I mean, if we're just talking 
real football, I mean, KCDST is 

686
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,280
the best player on the Chiefs 
after Kelsey, I mean, so I don't

687
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,960
mind that. 
I don't have a counter. 

688
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,280
Kelsey has just scored so many 
points. 

689
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,200
I'm trying to, yeah, I've pulled
this up. 

690
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,320
It's it's in 201st, but maybe 
it's still alive. 

691
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,280
I mean, it's got Daniel Saquon 
Cook in KCD. 

692
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,720
Yeah. 
I mean, I don't know. 

693
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,960
There we go, fire me up. 
Mike is the ultimate leverage. 2

694
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,680
pick sixes. 
Who says no? 

695
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,840
Who? 
Says no, it's only, it's in 

696
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,200
200th, but it's only 33 behind 
first. 

697
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,320
I mean, I say only, but like 
you're matching a lot of the 

698
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,280
players, so you need to gain 33 
like Casey's D has to gain 33 on

699
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,840
Kelsey. 
You know something like that has

700
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,160
to happen. 
We would be at Daniel's. 

701
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,760
What Daniel's? 
Nuke in the Super Bowl. 

702
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,480
Daniel's Cook, James Cook, is 
that her? 

703
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,240
That's what we would do. 
They probably want. 

704
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,880
There's gotta be a big case of 
DST. 

705
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,920
Kelsey. 
I'm trying to think that's 

706
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,360
Kelsey with the DST. 
I'm trying to think the story 

707
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:55,480
where James Cook goes nuts and 
the KCDST also has two defensive

708
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,080
scores. 
This is a team where we're 

709
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,160
talking about the the Chargers 
win thing. 

710
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,680
The reason we weren't talking 
about this team more and Leona 

711
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,440
Pride doesn't talk about it more
is this a team where we did 

712
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,800
Mcconkey, Kaimi, Fairbairn, we 
were doing what the field kind 

713
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,240
of did. 
We talked about even though we 

714
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:13,360
were heavier the other way in 
this game, we were playing the 

715
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,080
Chargers to win. 
We are playing the Texans to get

716
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,000
eliminated and soft fated them. 
And then when the Texans win, 

717
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,920
you actually wind up with 
Fairbairn, your kicker versus 

718
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,880
your DST in the second round. 
And you're like, well, this 

719
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,920
isn't great. 
One of these teams is going to 

720
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,920
advance. 
And yeah. 

721
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,520
That's where that's where next 
year, if we do that stuff with 

722
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:37,200
Daniels, I think we we should 
use it to play both sides of the

723
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,520
game or play a cheat. 
Let's like make sure that 

724
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,520
doesn't happen. 
I don't want to end up, I don't 

725
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:46,000
want to get Daniels right and 
then have Houston kicker versus 

726
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,160
KCDST. 
Like that's just that's why were

727
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,440
we that specific? 
It's annoying. 

728
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,040
I actually love that point. 
What what we did with a lot of 

729
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,480
these Daniels teams is we said 
because he might need a 2 gamer,

730
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,320
we need to shoot out in the 
first round. 

731
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,440
And so we do want to play both 
sides of Washington. 

732
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,840
Tampa, that's I mentioned a 
little bit ago, our other team 

733
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,800
had Bucky and I was like we 
might need Tampa to win. 

734
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,640
And then I realized, well, we 
didn't want Tampa to win because

735
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,320
it's a Daniels team. 
We were, we played one Daniels 

736
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,840
with Bucky. 
Most of our Daniels was with 

737
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:15,920
Evans, which is nice because 
Evans did outscore Bucky, but we

738
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:22,400
were saying shoot out you want. 
We should have said we want but 

739
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,000
we need, but teams are dead if 
Daniels loses round one. 

740
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,480
So that was actually we should 
have. 

741
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,040
Hindsight helps a lot here. 
But you could have, OK, it's a 

742
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,280
shoot out, but we have to have 
the Bucks lose. 

743
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,480
They have to lose. 
What's a good play there? 

744
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,080
OK, good play. 
The kicker, you know. 

745
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,200
It. 
Is. 

746
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,880
It is so much easier to do it 
when there's like, all right, 

747
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,200
we're just going to analyze this
one thing that didn't go our 

748
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,680
way. 
Now imagine doing this without 

749
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,680
the benefit of what happened and
be like we're going to go 

750
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,160
through every single situation 
with that level of specific. 

751
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,760
'Cause we did have one Daniels 
Chase McLaughlin and I and I 

752
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,360
don't think we played a Daniels 
Tampa DST, but we did a Daniels 

753
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,520
with a full Tampa fade. 
So two of our 7 Daniels teams we

754
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,840
did play that way as well. 
We were like, look, we're you 

755
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,040
know, we're not playing a bring 
back necessarily. 

756
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,720
We just liked the bring back on 
five of our seven. 

757
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,960
Our our Daniels McLaughlin 
happens to be our Buffalo full 

758
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,040
fade with Cortland Sutton on the
team, you know. 

759
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,840
And Bruce is saying maybe the 
play is whoever your quarterback

760
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,160
is, you always choose the 
opposing kicker. 

761
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,200
Dsti think generally you don't. 
You just want a hard fade. 

762
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,560
You're opposing quarterback 
because most of the time you're 

763
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,920
opposing the quarterback will be
Allen, he'll be Lamar. 

764
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,120
Those are huge chalk pieces. 
And so you're like you're dead. 

765
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,760
I mean, you're dead, dead, dead 
if they don't if they don't win 

766
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,040
round one. 
So like, pick them to win round 

767
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,920
one and you don't even need it 
to be a shootout because you're 

768
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,800
you're saying you're probably 
dead if they don't make the 

769
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,160
Super Bowl or at least, you 
know, go three games. 

770
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,040
Maybe Allen in two could be 
optimal if he goes nuclear, but 

771
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,120
that's probably more round two 
than round one. 

772
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,760
You're betting on that like in a
loss. 

773
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,680
So when I when I'm thinking 
about Daniels, it's it's not 

774
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,840
because of the quarterback 
thing. 

775
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,120
It's because he was a contrarian
quarterback that I'm saying 

776
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:16,240
could be optimal in two because 
he goes nuclear in both games. 

777
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,680
So that's a more specific bet 
where you're going. 

778
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,200
OK, then I probably we we played
it as we were all aligned on 

779
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,080
this. 
Let's get more Mike Evans in 

780
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,120
there. 
Let's get more Bucky in there. 

781
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,280
This is going to be a big good 
game environment. 

782
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,080
Those two guys are going to 
score well, they both did. 

783
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,960
But ultimately you'd just rather
have faded them and taking the 

784
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,160
kick. 
Another thing I'm realizing we 

785
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,120
did a lot of, and we did on this
one that we had McLaughlin, is 

786
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,960
we use that extra flex piece not
to play both sides of the AFC 

787
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,040
team like you were saying, but 
to play Josh Jacobs onto this 

788
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:50,000
team because if Green Bay upset 
Philly, it helped Daniels path. 

789
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,000
I still like that. 
I still like. 

790
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,920
That if Green Bay and Washington
both would have won in the first

791
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,800
round, Green Bay goes to 
Detroit. 

792
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,600
But. 
They beat Detroit. 

793
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,040
They went to Detroit. 
Detroit, you're like, this is 

794
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,760
the best. 
Way to help Daniels get him 

795
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,360
going away from Detroit and then
just goes into Detroit and 

796
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,160
fucking beats them. 
I mean, that's the other part of

797
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,240
it. 
There's the whole what if Jane 

798
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:18,240
Daniels is just him element of 
of every contest. 

799
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:20,920
You know, any best ball contest,
anything you're building, you're

800
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,040
like, well, what if this is just
the breakout moment for this 

801
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,360
player, you know? 
Yeah, Yeah, it is. 

802
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:31,000
It is hard to know, like what 
what are actual lessons like in 

803
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,240
the way we do it. 
Like we do jot down some notes 

804
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:35,480
each year of like process tweaks
we want to make. 

805
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:40,080
But you also don't want to like 
overfit it to a specific set of 

806
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,680
outcomes and then get away from 
like we were saying, like you 

807
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,840
still want to pull those levers.
You still want to press some 

808
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,960
spots that you think the field 
is overconfident in. 

809
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,840
What do you guys have any macro 
takeaways? 

810
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,520
I know obviously the slate's not
settled, but kind of just 

811
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,080
talking through some of the 
stuff that you want to do 

812
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,200
differently. 
I think Pat was just doing a 

813
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,280
really good job of talking 
through I what sort of a second 

814
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,640
order effect of what we are 
already talking through, which 

815
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,400
is not to think about your 
kicker and DST as like needing 

816
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,680
to be like soft fades, I guess 
because there's just so many 

817
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,320
combinations even in a year like
this where all the chalk hit, 

818
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,200
we're seeing Boswell up near the
top. 

819
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:19,120
You know, like you don't have to
be perfect. 

820
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:22,800
And so like Pat was saying, 
well, you, you you want your 

821
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,360
quarterback to win the first 
game for sure. 

822
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,960
You might as well just hard fade
the opponent and give yourself 

823
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,680
some other outs. 
Like we've we've always talked 

824
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,840
about picking a bracket and not 
necessarily worrying too much 

825
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,040
about optionality. 
I guess I'm going to be a lot 

826
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,800
more open to optionality, even 
with the the soft fades and and 

827
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,680
then how the bracket can play 
out and thinking more about, I 

828
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,520
guess the teams, right. 
Like, who makes sense for the 

829
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,320
Bills? 
It's mostly Alan, even in two 

830
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,560
gamers, you know, Alan can be 
the dude. 

831
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,680
Then I want to play him without 
really worrying about how far 

832
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,080
I'm picking the Bills, you know,
and that kind of a thing. 

833
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,800
It's tricky, but yeah. 
Yeah. 

834
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,560
I think one of the things for 
me, that's kind of this is the 

835
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,800
thing I kind of already thought,
but I think one of the things 

836
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,960
that this year, again, kind of 
underlines is like in the 

837
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,840
playoffs, if you're unless 
you're betting on a team to 

838
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,360
lose, it's really nice to have 
the engine of the offense. 

839
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,240
You know, And this is I think 
where you're seeing the chalk 

840
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:24,280
hit so hard this year is because
like, you know, in a way that's 

841
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,560
not going to happen quite this 
much every year. 

842
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,840
But I know in a in a way that I 
do think is part of the way the 

843
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,360
playoffs work. 
Like when the Eagles win, it's 

844
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,440
because Saquon Barkley had a 
good game because their whole 

845
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,720
offense is built around Saquon 
Barkley right now. 

846
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,240
You know, that's why I like the 
Jacobs piece so much, is that 

847
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:46,160
like, their offense was Josh 
Jacobs to close the season. 

848
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,680
And so if they win, you're going
to have to have Jacobs. 

849
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:51,320
Like Jacobs is going to be the 
guy because they beat the 

850
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,240
Eagles. 
So he had a good game and now 

851
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:55,560
you're getting them in a second 
game and they're going to build 

852
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,200
it around Jacobs again and 
you're going to feel really good

853
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,640
about having him. 
But even in a loss, he was fine.

854
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,000
But The funny thing about the 
way these things work is who's 

855
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,000
next year's Josh Jacobs? 
Like there probably isn't 1, You

856
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,800
know, it's or like you, you 
almost got to like look ahead. 

857
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,960
Like next year we should be 
looking for who's the Aaron 

858
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,000
Jones, you know, who's the 
Ferguson? 

859
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,760
Like go back a couple years 
because Jacobs was kind of Cam 

860
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,120
Akers from years ago. 
But the Cam makers wouldn't work

861
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,760
better because Cam Akers and the
Rams beat the Seahawks in that 

862
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,400
game. 
And obviously we didn't get it 

863
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,440
with the with the Packers. 
But yeah, I kind of like I'm 

864
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:37,040
filing away like types of plays 
from each year and it's sort of 

865
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,680
like you're reviewing like, do 
we have do we have an acres 

866
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,400
again? 
Do we have a a Ferguson again? 

867
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,040
You know, that kind of thing. 
One thing I think I want to do 

868
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:50,920
more of to the Ferguson point is
take two years in a row we've 

869
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,960
said, you know who we're not 
fading the Uber mega chalk 

870
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,360
receiver because he's just too 
good. 

871
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,160
He's too locked in. 
Stevie Lamb got to play him. 

872
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,600
Puka got to play him and and 
that's I think that's a leak 

873
00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:08,920
like let's let's have more 
courage and fade the biggest 

874
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,880
chalk on the board and then 
we're obviously that's going to 

875
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,600
kill us next year, but like. 
I know we did that. 

876
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,560
We did that in 2021 with Cup and
it wasn't great when they went 

877
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,040
all the way to the Super Bowl. 
You had to have cut, you had to 

878
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,920
have cut. 
But I think Jefferson was also 

879
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,520
that. 
Jefferson, we did hear. 

880
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,560
What? 
When the Giants beat the 

881
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,920
Vikings, I think it's been 3 of 
the last few years where there's

882
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,320
been a shock. 
I think he was a A. 

883
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,080
Miss, That's a shocking. 
He was a miss, yeah. 

884
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,360
He didn't want, I think he 
wanted to talk. 

885
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:42,040
So like that's I think one of 
the bigger edges is like 8085% 

886
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,480
of the field is going to play 
this guy. 

887
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:48,360
And if they lose, like that's 
probably bad because you could 

888
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,360
soft like soft fading because I 
mean, we're probably not 

889
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,640
catching Ferguson, but what if 
we had Dallas kicker last year, 

890
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,080
you know, one more instead of 
more CDs. 

891
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,760
So taking the guy who's like 85 
S locked in at receiver, which 

892
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,920
you know, you know, can fail any
week and and soft fading that 

893
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,040
team. 
Yeah. 

894
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,680
Catches in that Giants game. 
So it's your point. 

895
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,760
It's been I think three years in
a row it was that Jefferson 

896
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,680
lost, Vikings lost to the 
Giants, then Lamb last year and 

897
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,360
then both Jefferson and Puka. 
Really. 

898
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,720
Cuz the Rams D winds up. 
That's a pretty good play. 

899
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,560
And I think my take away just 
knowing how much, but we were 

900
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:37,240
relying on the Bucks to win 
because looking at that spot, I 

901
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:40,440
think it's the spot we would say
the field is being too 

902
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,560
overconfident, right? 
Like we kind of fell for that 

903
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,960
same trap of like not building 
out more soft fades of the box, 

904
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,320
knowing that that would be 
underutilized by the field. 

905
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,560
Like we basically were in line 
with the field right on our 

906
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,480
Bucky and Evans ownership. 
Yeah, yeah. 

907
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,240
And thinking through that 
overconfidence, there is 

908
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:02,360
probably like a good take away 
of like, in the same way like I 

909
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,480
was OK, like fading Jefferson. 
I'm like, you guys are all 

910
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,640
piling in on this. 
Like, I don't necessarily love 

911
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,440
that spot, but it was like, it 
is really hard to do it when 

912
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,840
it's like. 2 plays is. 
Like everything you love. 

913
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,880
But I do think maybe a humility 
in that spot would be would be 

914
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:17,840
pretty. 
Yeah, that's a good point. 

915
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,800
That's a good point. 
Bucky and Irving, we were 6% 

916
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:25,200
overweight, Bucky 4% overweight.
Evans, we underweight sort of 

917
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:32,280
the other stuff to offset that, 
but we played a lot like we 96% 

918
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:33,800
of our teams had either Bucky or
Evans. 

919
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,760
We we didn't play McLaughlin 
like at all. 

920
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,600
So. 
Yeah, that was a mistake. 

921
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,120
Yeah. 
How did Montgomery do, Pete? 

922
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,680
I don't know what this is in in 
reference to, I don't think. 

923
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,720
I mean, Montgomery, like, didn't
get played at all in this 

924
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:50,520
contest, right? 
No. 

925
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:53,320
And I don't think he was 
somebody we ever really talked 

926
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,120
about either because Gibson 
Almond raw so. 

927
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,520
And if you did play him, that 
team is dead. 

928
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,760
Toyo chiming in in the chat 
because someone mentioned he did

929
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,800
the dupe thing in the $35 
contest too. 

930
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,040
He says it was a clerical error 
export error in which I intended

931
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,720
to input a lever and he's not 
doing OK about it. 

932
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,160
Well, if if those teams finished
first and 2nd, you'll be doing 

933
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:22,000
plenty fine with it there. 
It happens, it happens. 

934
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,520
Casey says Leone dunking on us 
with the olds. 

935
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,080
We maybe shouldn't dismiss them 
as much. 

936
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,040
That's an Evergreen comment 
there. 

937
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,880
Any other like maybe zooming out
from like the contest specifics?

938
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,800
Any other like either things 
that have really surprised you 

939
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,640
in the playoffs or things that 
have delighted you? 

940
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,120
We we haven't really gotten to 
talk about these games outside 

941
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:48,000
of this fantasy lens. 
Jane Daniels is going to be a 

942
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,760
future MVP. 
Like this dude is the best 

943
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,440
player to enter the NFL in a 
long time. 

944
00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:57,040
Yeah, it's been. 
A yeah, I mean doing. 

945
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,520
I've been working on the 
rankings for the big board. 

946
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,360
Well, really, you're already at 
that lab. 

947
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,000
Oh, yeah, I'm, I'm pretty deep 
in the lab because it's like, 

948
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,520
you know, the big board will be 
out like pretty soon, I think. 

949
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:13,240
So we got to, you know, we got 
to, we got to get things sorted.

950
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,520
Daniels, we have a head of Hertz
quarterback 3. 

951
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,000
I mean, I'm just kidding. 
I'm just. 

952
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:22,760
Kidding. 
Maybe. 

953
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,960
Maybe. 
But like, yeah, I think he'll go

954
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:25,920
ahead. 
Like, I don't think that'll be a

955
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,240
stand. 
I think he'll go ahead. 

956
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,080
That's where he's gonna go. 
What do you what do you have it 

957
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,440
as, Alan? 
Lamar, Alan. 

958
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,800
Lamar Hurts or sorry, Alan? 
Lamar Daniels Hurts, Yeah. 

959
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,640
He's in that group for sure, you
know? 

960
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:43,200
Yeah, definitely. 
I think it'll be some debate we.

961
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,480
There will be people that that 
want Daniels to be the QB one I 

962
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,560
think, right? 
I I don't know if he necessarily

963
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,080
should be. 
The size stuff is still 

964
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,400
important. 
He did get banged up this year 

965
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,960
and couldn't throw down field 
for a good chunk of the season 

966
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,360
as a result of that. 
I mean, Allen and Lamar have 

967
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,880
done it for a long time and 
scored at a really high level. 

968
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,200
I think I should say could be 
Allen Lamar. 

969
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:06,520
You can debate the order of 
those. 

970
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:11,000
We have them back-to-back. 
I also like the other thing that

971
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,840
could actually boost him is if 
they invest in a wide receiver 

972
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,080
in free agency or the draft. 
Like if they get a name that 

973
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,880
gets people excited then you're 
like holy shit and he just got 

974
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,760
an extra weapon and Diami Brown 
isn't his wide receiver too. 

975
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,240
Like that could be fun. 
For sure, yeah. 

976
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,560
And I guess I didn't really 
think about this, but I thought 

977
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,240
I thought Kingsbury would be 
gone. 

978
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:32,320
But with Ben Johnson landing in 
Chicago, I haven't really heard 

979
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,240
a lot of buzz. 
Kingsbury It was a little bit of

980
00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:37,320
buzz at King. 
Jacksonville mix, I don't think.

981
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,880
Yeah. 
And we're left with just a 

982
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,080
couple spots available now. 
So I don't know. 

983
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,560
The nuts to go to the Raiders. 
Yeah, I don't think think he 

984
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,360
might be back and and that would
be I think, a pretty big 

985
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,440
positive for Daniels. 
I think the offense was cleverly

986
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,640
designed for Daniel's strength. 
But in Daniels is just I wrote a

987
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,480
whole piece over at the 
newsletter for anyone who cares 

988
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:57,640
about some longer thoughts about
it. 

989
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,720
But I got asked by my subtitle 
was a question from an IRL buddy

990
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:03,960
Sparks a random long post 
because I got asked from one of 

991
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,400
my one of my good buddies. 
We talk sports all the time, you

992
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,240
know, like, basically just how 
was he so good? 

993
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:13,840
And I went into just this long, 
like take about him, but you 

994
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:18,240
just don't have a dude this 
athletic with this much arm 

995
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:21,280
talent and accuracy and the 
throat of Diami Brown that they 

996
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,680
kept showing in that game where 
it's under pressure. 

997
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,040
I mean, when you're off 
platform, you're under pressure,

998
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,160
stepping into a hit, being able 
to hit those throws downfield, 

999
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,560
that's what the best pocket 
passers were able to do. 

1000
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,800
You know, Peyton Manning and Tom
Brady for their whole careers 

1001
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,720
deals is doing that shit as a 
rookie and he's a a hyper mobile

1002
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:40,480
quarterback. 
Once you have all of those like 

1003
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,400
things and the ways that 
defenses have to play you, they 

1004
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,600
got to put more guys in the box.
Like that's part of the reason 

1005
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,720
why like all Lamar's receivers 
have these great separation 

1006
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:51,320
stats, etcetera, etcetera. 
Once Lamar developed and 

1007
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,480
especially the Todd Monk and 
offense came around and 

1008
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,240
developed the he's always been a
good passer, better than people 

1009
00:50:56,240 --> 00:50:58,040
give him credit for. 
But the really elite passing 

1010
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,520
stuff, their offense looked 
unstoppable too, because you 

1011
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,120
have to count for him in the 
running game with extra guys in 

1012
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,880
the box. 
Allen, same thing once he 

1013
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,760
developed as a passer, took him 
a few years, but there you get 

1014
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,400
that mobility with that type of 
touchdown field and consistency.

1015
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,920
But Daniels I think is even more
of a consistent downfield pass, 

1016
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,960
consistent downfield passer than
and I think Alan and probably 

1017
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,880
Lamar, I mean, he's dude he's 
got. 

1018
00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:23,280
He's not as good as a runner. 
As those guys, he's not as good 

1019
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,160
as a. 
Runner as Lamar. 

1020
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:29,160
No, but he's so good as a passer
for a dude that's as mobile as 

1021
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:33,160
him, it's like, yeah, it's a 
really hard thing to scheme for.

1022
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,280
That's what my whole piece was 
about. 

1023
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,800
Anybody wants to read it, but 
it's like, it's as far as how 

1024
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,040
defenses are going to play him. 
That's why he's so good. 

1025
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,920
It's you can't do anything about
it. 

1026
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,000
You can't just leave. 
That's why Brian Robinson had a 

1027
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,400
great year running the ball, 
right? 

1028
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,920
Like, and their RPO offense was 
really good and we had like 

1029
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,880
Zacchaeus and and Zach Ertz 
popping up on good games. 

1030
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,800
Like you can't account for 
everything. 

1031
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,200
You where are you going to put 
your numbers on defense, right? 

1032
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:55,640
Like you can't take away 
everything. 

1033
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,960
So anyway, he's a, he's the 
biggest storyline of the of the 

1034
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,800
postseason for me and really fun
dude for the future that yeah. 

1035
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,520
Matt wants to know where you 
have Terry Mclaurin in. 

1036
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,200
Early ranked? 
Let's see. 

1037
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,400
He's what early fifth round pick
I think is where he closed this 

1038
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,680
year. 
We don't have him super high 

1039
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:24,680
because hang on, I got this sort
of like quarterbacks Mclaurin, 

1040
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:30,720
we have it 35 or 30, yeah, 
roughly in that range because I 

1041
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,000
don't know what I don't know 
what ADP will be at. 

1042
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:40,240
FPC actually has some ADP looks 
like McClure. 

1043
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:45,800
Yeah, because FFPC launched 
their never too early basketball

1044
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,560
contest. 
He's got an ADP of 34 over 

1045
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,280
there. 
So we're we're kind of in line 

1046
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,800
with that. 
But the concern with Mclaurin, I

1047
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,760
would say is that they're pretty
live to add somebody. 

1048
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,160
The other thing is like you talk
about Daniels, you know, what 

1049
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,960
are they, what are you kind of 
looking for him to improve on at

1050
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,560
this point? 
And it's like just like, do it 

1051
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,120
at higher volume like this, like
this, this is what we want. 

1052
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,120
No notes, just like more, you 
know? 

1053
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:18,200
And so, so like, that's pretty 
appealing if you're a receiver, 

1054
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,320
right? 
You're like, there's openings. 

1055
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,040
They like, I can replace Olamita
Zacchaeus or, you know, whoever 

1056
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,480
else. 
And I can or like, you know, run

1057
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,040
out of the slot. 
Zac Ertz is a free agent. 

1058
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:34,280
They'll probably come back, but 
like, there's plenty of targets 

1059
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,120
available in this offense for a 
talented receiver. 

1060
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,800
You could see a Chris Godwin 
wanting to go there. 

1061
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,040
You know, you could see T 
Higgins wanting to go there. 

1062
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,040
If he if he obviously he doesn't
return to Cincinnati. 

1063
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,280
Devante Adams is essentially a 
free agent and it looks like 

1064
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,720
Rogers is going to retire. 
So like he could end up he's got

1065
00:53:53,720 --> 00:53:56,320
a, you know, chance to like play
with a fun young quarterback 

1066
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,800
slash, maybe ring chase. 
At this point. 

1067
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,680
They like they're not not in the
ring chasing conversation. 

1068
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,520
They're about to play in the NFC
Championship game. 

1069
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:09,200
So I think with Mclaurin you 
are, if it's this setup again, 

1070
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,520
he's a steal at at like 30-4, 
but it might not be the setup 

1071
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:17,640
again. 
And he only had a basically in 

1072
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,520
line with his career numbers in 
terms of targets per outrun. 

1073
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,160
He's always been really 
efficient. 

1074
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,200
He had a high A dot, he had a 
strong like weighted targets per

1075
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,760
run, but it was about 21% 
targets per outrun. 1.98 yards 

1076
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,000
per outrun is good. 
It's really good being around 2.

1077
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,520
I mean this is what PFF numbers 
is solid. 

1078
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,480
It's one of his better seasons 
of his career. 

1079
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,080
It's not like, and this has been
the whole thing with Terry 

1080
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,680
Mcgorner's whole career. 
Some people want him to be 

1081
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,080
really, really good and he is 
really, really good. 

1082
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,200
And then now this year, I think 
a lot of talk was like, well, 

1083
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:48,840
he's just never had a 
quarterback and he finally has a

1084
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,240
quarterback. 
He's never been an elite 

1085
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:53,600
receiver. 
He's never earned targets the 

1086
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,400
way elite receivers do. 
Even with bad quarterbacks, he's

1087
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:00,200
always been a very, very good, 
but not elite, a great but not 

1088
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,520
elite receiver. 
So you start talking about third

1089
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,280
round and you're starting to 
talk about added competition. 

1090
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,880
That would be a concern for me. 
I think it'd be still very good,

1091
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,840
so at third round I want a guy 
who can finish top five, you 

1092
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,640
know, for a wide. 
Receiver yeah, I agree we're 

1093
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,720
we're probably going to be a 
little bit behind market to 

1094
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:20,120
start I and just baking in some 
of the downside. 

1095
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,720
But look, I mean, if he if they 
do bring in somebody and then he

1096
00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:27,240
ends up being like a fifth round
pick or sixth round pick, like I

1097
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:29,240
think I'm pretty into that 
because he can obviously have 

1098
00:55:29,240 --> 00:55:31,960
good spike weeks to a really 
strong quarterback. 

1099
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,400
But like, just to compare him to
Nico Collins, who would, you 

1100
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:39,080
know, be kind of the breakout 
receiver of 2020 threes, really 

1101
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,120
strong rookie quarterback 
season. 

1102
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,920
He had 3.11 yards per route run,
which is absolutely insane. 

1103
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,360
And then this year he was at 
2.86, even with the offense 

1104
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,960
taking a step back, far more 
efficient than Mclaurin. 

1105
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,400
So that's like Mclaurin just 
didn't have anywhere near that. 

1106
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,120
Like, OK, you're now an elite 
receiver. 

1107
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,440
Now, granted, if he did, he'd be
going in the second round, not 

1108
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,520
the third. 
But yeah, there's just like a 

1109
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:08,760
little, he's a little fragile 
and the ceiling, like what's 

1110
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,200
different next year? 
Why would it ceiling unlock 

1111
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:12,600
next? 
Year that wasn't available, 

1112
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,680
people are going to double count
that because they think that he 

1113
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,960
now finally has a QB and so now 
he is the Nico Collins. 

1114
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,920
But probably this was like his 
best moment. 

1115
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:23,400
He's going to be another year 
older as well. 

1116
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,760
He's not a young receiver. 
He's like 29, right? 

1117
00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:29,920
He didn't come in super young. 
He's at least 29 I think. 

1118
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,360
Yeah, he turns 30 in September, 
so yeah, he's going into his his

1119
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,720
seventh season. 
He started as a 24 year old. 

1120
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:40,120
He was an older like you would 
think at 29, this would have 

1121
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,080
been one of his best years 
without much competition. 

1122
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,640
And it was it was a really good 
year, but people talk about it 

1123
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,320
like it was a top five overall 
year. 

1124
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,280
And that was the thing to your 
point, Nico, back-to-back years 

1125
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,280
over 2.8 or higher yards per 
hour run. 

1126
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,920
I was just saying Makono's about
two O right, Like that was the 

1127
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,320
thing where I was talked about 
with A.J. 

1128
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,160
Brown starter's crew with 2.5 
plus every year. 

1129
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:00,760
He's probably, you know, 
continued. 

1130
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,400
What? 
What would Terry's be at if he 

1131
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:06,160
played alongside Stefan Diggs 
and tanked L for the year? 

1132
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,680
A.J. 
Brown has been 2.5 or higher 

1133
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,240
yards per hour run every year of
his career. 

1134
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:14,240
Jamar Chase, you know, every 
year, you know, about like the 

1135
00:57:14,240 --> 00:57:18,640
very best wide receivers, 
they're at 2.5, They're at 3 

1136
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,040
yards per out run. 
To Pat's point about Nico, like 

1137
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,840
1.98 is very good. 
He is very good, but just, you 

1138
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,320
know, pump the brakes a little 
kind of thing. 

1139
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,720
One more, one more of the where?
Where's JSN at? 

1140
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,280
JSN. 
We have early 3rd. 

1141
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,840
Yeah, 30. 
And let me see, he's got an ADP 

1142
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:43,560
of 30 on FPC. 
On FPC, we have my 33 right now 

1143
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:44,760
because more tight ends jump 
him. 

1144
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,720
So basically like kind of the 
same thing. 

1145
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,520
I think my my take on JSN is 
like you got a new offensive 

1146
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,680
coordinator, which for him isn't
great since he became the number

1147
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,240
one down the stretch. 
I kind of prefer the status quo.

1148
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:02,680
I don't like, I'm not sure 
Gino's locked in and Gina to me,

1149
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:06,240
I'm like Gino's like the best 
case scenario, but they don't 

1150
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,840
seem completely sold on Geno. 
So that worries me a little bit.

1151
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:13,320
So it's less about them adding 
somebody than about like what's 

1152
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,120
a team that could bottom out 
next year? 

1153
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:19,680
And I think Seattle's fairly 
high on that list, especially I 

1154
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:24,440
think who's their OC? 
You know, 181 yards per out run 

1155
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,720
got by a little bit on routes 
this year. 625 routes is a huge 

1156
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,280
number. 
There was, I think he was like 

1157
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:34,800
fifth in the NFL in routes, not 
so much great on a per route 

1158
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,200
basis. 
I mean, I think you can make the

1159
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:37,960
case that he's going to be 
overdrafted next year. 

1160
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,800
Yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm, I don't 
think we'll have like a big fade

1161
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:47,720
position, but like two or three 
picks behind ADP most likely to 

1162
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:48,800
start. 
Obviously I don't know what 

1163
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:53,520
underdog ADP is going to be, but
but yeah, I mean in the third 

1164
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,200
round, I think he's fine. 
Yeah, the argument for him is 

1165
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:00,160
like he was a a young rookie. 
He had a really strong second 

1166
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:04,080
season and we don't necessarily 
know what a ceiling is. 

1167
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,760
He's still in 2223. 
It looks like in a couple weeks 

1168
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,080
he could be an even bigger year 
3 breakout. 

1169
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,200
Like we just talked about Nico 
Collins. 

1170
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,080
His big breakout was year three,
similar to this, actually, in 

1171
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,880
these yards per out run ranges 
in year 1 to year 2. 

1172
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,920
And then year 3 is when he 
really took off JS NS not Nico 

1173
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,920
necessarily, but it's with 
Terry. 

1174
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,840
I'm talking about a guy we've 
seen six years on and he's never

1175
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,920
been higher than two point O 5 
yards per out run at 30. 

1176
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:28,960
What do you what's going to 
happen? 

1177
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,520
You know, like, how's he going 
to become even better? 

1178
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,600
It's funny to think that JSN and
DK Metcalf could just do like an

1179
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,040
exact flip in ADP spots from. 
I think that's kind of what's 

1180
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,560
going to happen, although 
Metcalf will be higher than JSN 

1181
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,320
was in. 
JSN will be probably right where

1182
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,720
DK was though, so they'll both 
be a little higher but. 

1183
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,240
Where do you think Metcalf's 
going to come in? 

1184
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,240
Probably in the 50s. 
So that would be slightly higher

1185
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:53,880
than JSN. 
Little higher than JSN. 

1186
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,640
Yeah, JSN was at times in like 
the eighth round last year, but 

1187
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:57,800
you're thinking like fifth 
round. 

1188
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,280
I'm thinking fifth round. 
One guy I think we'll be pretty 

1189
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,360
high on compared to the market, 
at least where FPC is right now 

1190
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:09,600
is, is Marvin Harrison. 
I think he should go on the 

1191
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,880
third round. 
People over you're saying 

1192
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:14,440
overreacting too much. 
Interesting. 

1193
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:18,360
Yeah, yeah, cuz like he, you 
know, this dude was one of the 

1194
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,040
best wide receiver prospects 
ever. 

1195
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,080
He. 
I think was at like 1.6 

1196
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,280
something yards per hour and 
ultimately, which is not great, 

1197
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,400
but it's not like a huge red 
flag. 

1198
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,720
Lots of really good receivers 
kind of start there. 

1199
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:36,240
Trey McBride is the number one 
there, but he's got solid 

1200
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:41,240
quarterback play and very little
target competition outside of 

1201
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,840
the tight end. 
And so I think you could see him

1202
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:48,880
taking more and and also just 
like being better and lifting 

1203
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,600
the ceiling of the of the 
passing game down the stretch 

1204
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:58,320
next season at the third round 
Price, you know, man, it's just 

1205
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:02,600
like from the the pedigree and 
like a pretty good situation. 

1206
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,800
And not like it's not like you 
had a disastrous rookie year 

1207
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,600
now. 
I mean, we just got JSN in the 

1208
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,120
eighth coming off a 
disappointing rookie year and 

1209
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,160
you'd probably prefer to get 
more of a discount than that. 

1210
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,680
Then you know, we're going to 
get on Harrison, but I don't 

1211
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,000
know, I think Harrison in the 
third is going to be pretty 

1212
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:19,320
good. 
It's a, he's a really good 

1213
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,000
example of betting and 
uncertainty and some of those 

1214
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,760
things, which is similar to what
we did with JSN last year. 

1215
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:30,400
Rowan a minute ago said that 
like Terry's no Nico third feels

1216
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,560
solid for that profile. 
I don't think a top five, I 

1217
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,240
don't think the top five upside 
really exists in round 3. 

1218
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,320
And I, I kind of earmarked that 
in the back of my mind because I

1219
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,640
was like, I mean, I just, I 
don't think I could disagree 

1220
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,400
with you more, buddy, because 
that's like where Cooper Cup 

1221
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,920
went and he had, you know, the 
greatest season of all time a 

1222
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:47,080
few years back. 
There's other. 

1223
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,360
Examples worth I think. 
He was like 434 turns. 

1224
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,280
Higgs was fifth in his It's 
happened a ton. 

1225
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,880
Allen, it's happened a ton. 
It just maybe hasn't happened 

1226
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:59,920
last like one or two seasons. 
But I bring that up because you 

1227
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:03,040
said Harrison in round 3 and it 
reminded me of that comment 

1228
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,400
because what you're describing 
is like this guy wasn't a 

1229
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,160
legendary receiver prospect. 
What if he does have the huge 

1230
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,920
year to take off season? 
Are we really going to say 

1231
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:13,880
Marvin Harrison can't be a top 
five wide receiver? 

1232
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,640
We're drafting him in the first 
round as a rookie. 

1233
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,680
You know what I mean? 
Like there's obviously pass and,

1234
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,640
and when you're talking about 
round three feeling high on him,

1235
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,040
you push him down to round 4 
around 5:00. 

1236
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,960
I mean, maybe feeling a little 
high, you push him down to round

1237
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,600
4 around 5. 
Like you're still talking about 

1238
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,280
Marvin Harrison definitely has 
top five ceiling like those 

1239
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,040
guys. 
It looks like this early. 

1240
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,520
Round three pick and for a while
in this year as a rookie was 

1241
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,480
looking like he was going to be 
a top five rookie, you know, 

1242
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:44,360
overall player and then, you 
know, have young players can do 

1243
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,360
it from round three, yeah. 
Absolutely, yeah. 

1244
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:51,280
Harrison's been drafted it looks
like 4 times on FFPC looking at 

1245
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:55,400
fantasy mojo stuff. 
Four times that's that's our 

1246
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,840
sample size. 
Right now there's only 6 drafts 

1247
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,800
that have been started. 
So yeah, four, maybe 6 drafts 

1248
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:06,680
he's been drafted, but he's he 
looks like he's got an AP of 39.

1249
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:10,880
So early 4th rounds, but maybe 
even a little later because I'm 

1250
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,600
not sure how far along that 
fifth draft. 

1251
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:14,240
Is where does Brian Thomas come 
in? 

1252
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,720
Oh, I think Brian Thomas is 
going to be like 1-2 turn. 1-2 

1253
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,680
yeah, yeah, I figured higher. 
Is he going ahead of neighbors? 

1254
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,600
Let's see. 
Thomas I don't want to I don't 

1255
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,080
want to be like anti Brian 
Thomas. 

1256
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,800
No, he's going, he's going. 
He's going after neighbors. 

1257
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,920
And we have it that way too. 
I've seen that position quite a 

1258
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,960
bit that people are saying Brian
Thomas has to go ahead of 

1259
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,120
neighbors. 
And I'm like, man, this has been

1260
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,560
something as far as like edges 
and things to think about as we 

1261
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,560
go into the offseason. 
That's something I've been 

1262
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,720
hammering in my content for 
years. 

1263
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,040
But people need to take a longer
view and really still consider 

1264
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:50,760
the college stuff after the 
rookie year. 

1265
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,760
You just said it with Marvin 
Harrison, Neighbors was 

1266
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,200
meaningfully better than Brian 
Thomas in the same offense for 

1267
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,320
multiple seasons. 
Meaningfully better. 

1268
01:03:58,320 --> 01:03:59,800
Go back and look at all the 
numbers. 

1269
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,680
Go back and look at the per out 
stuff, the volume, earning, all 

1270
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,160
of it. 
Neighbors had a worst 

1271
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,320
quarterback this year. 
He's got continuity at the 

1272
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,760
coaching position. 
They're going to get a 

1273
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,880
quarterback. 
Worst quarterbacks, Neighbors 

1274
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,120
would have killed for Mac Jones,
right? 

1275
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,840
It's been delighted to have Mac.
Jones Brian Thomas also late in 

1276
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,160
the year was getting a ton of 
designed looks. 

1277
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,280
I still think he's a superstar, 
but he was getting a ton of 

1278
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:22,240
design looks because every other
player in that offense was 

1279
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,320
injured. 
They lost Christian Kirk, Evan 

1280
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,840
Ingram and Gabe Davis, and they 
were just throwing him wide 

1281
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,720
receiver screens like nobody's 
business in the last month. 

1282
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,040
I still think, again, Brian 
Thomas is is a star. 

1283
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,600
It was situationally, there was 
really no comparison. 

1284
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,120
And then he doesn't have a coach
right now. 

1285
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:39,880
We don't know if Trevor Lawrence
is any good. 

1286
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:43,080
Like more importantly the 
Longview stuff on the player 

1287
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,000
talent. 
Like I feel pretty confident 

1288
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,280
that Malik Neighbors is better 
than him because they were in 

1289
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,080
the same offense and he was 
better than him. 

1290
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,200
I don't think anyone's going to.
Well, we'll see. 

1291
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,160
But I mean, right now I was 
looking at, yeah, the ADP for 

1292
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,600
neighbors is 12 and Thomas is 
14. 

1293
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,760
Yeah, I'm fine with that. 
People are going to get upset or

1294
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,920
get excited about the QB upgrade
for neighbors and I think 

1295
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,120
that'll that'll. 
Keep that, that'll help for 

1296
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:09,840
sure. 
I was also looking at Hayden's 

1297
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,560
ranks. 
Let me see where he's got it. 

1298
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:17,640
He had I think his neighbor's at
14 and Thomas at 13. 

1299
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,480
OK, so so Hayden has them, has 
them the other way. 

1300
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,080
So maybe, maybe there will be 
an. 

1301
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,800
Argument there's, I've seen that
on Twitter a few times. 

1302
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,440
So anyway, I just want to it's 
not they're going to be close. 

1303
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,240
It's not a huge deal. 
I guess my argument is long 

1304
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,280
term, looking at their prospect 
profiles, their, their draft 

1305
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,800
capital, all that stuff. 
Long term, if you told me one of

1306
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,400
these guys is one of the five 
best receivers in the NFL in two

1307
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,040
or three years, we're thinking 
about him like Jefferson and 

1308
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:42,240
Chase and A.J. 
Brown. 

1309
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,000
I would bet a lot of money it's 
neighbors over Thomas. 

1310
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,520
I still think Thomas is going to
be very, very good. 

1311
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,280
I think he's more of like the 
10th best receiver in the league

1312
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:54,240
than me. 
Too that, but I do think like if

1313
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,200
I was going to make the counter,
which again, we have neighbors 

1314
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,680
ahead and I think neighbors 
should be ahead, but which guy 

1315
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:05,040
is like when I turn up in week 
17, I'm like feeling very 

1316
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,880
confident that I'm like sick 
Ryan Thomas is on my team. 

1317
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,280
Like I'm feeling good. 
Like, you know, Lawrence is 

1318
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,240
healthy. 
Everything's like normal. 

1319
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,200
Lawrence is healthy. 
The Giants quarterback's 

1320
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,640
healthy, right? 
But like, fortunately the Giants

1321
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:22,320
quarterback is Aidan O'Connell 
or something. 

1322
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,200
It's like the corpse of Kirk 
Cousins. 

1323
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,880
Or like, what? 
What is the The upside is? 

1324
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,280
I guess it's Darnold. 
But it could get Week 17, 

1325
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,480
especially for neighbors. 
Could get bad because Darnold 

1326
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,000
could be bad. 
Dabol gets fired. 

1327
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:41,280
Like now we're back to DeVito in
Week 17. 

1328
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:45,920
I could imagine feeling pretty 
awful about neighbors in Week 17

1329
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,480
because of how uncertain that 
situation is where Thomas is so 

1330
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,560
locked in. 
To at least. 

1331
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,360
Trevor Lawrence, which isn't 
ideal, but it's, you know, it's 

1332
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,840
better than. 
I mean, Giants have the third 

1333
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:03,320
overall pick if they don't get 
anything done in the in the free

1334
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,840
agency period or anything else 
if they don't land down there or

1335
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,920
anything, even if I know it's 
not a great quarterback class. 

1336
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,440
But even if quarterbacks go 1-2,
don't you think they're just 

1337
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:12,720
going to take a quarterback at 
3:00? 

1338
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:18,880
No, there isn't a guy. 
There's no quarterback at three 

1339
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,400
if if they go 1-2, there's two 
quarterbacks in the first round.

1340
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:26,120
Like they would take Jackson 
Dart in the second round maybe 

1341
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,920
or Jaylen Millro in the second 
round or something, but you 

1342
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,520
don't. 
Ward, there's not. 

1343
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,320
You are the only ones I've been 
hearing, probably through the 

1344
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,680
process some. 
Some other guys might bubble up 

1345
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,720
like Dart. 
So like I was listening to Nate 

1346
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:42,960
Tice and he was saying he has 
Pam Ward ranked, like he had JJ 

1347
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,680
McCarthy or graded, I should 
say, like you had JJ McCarthy 

1348
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,280
where he'd like you'd be 
comfortable to take him to 25. 

1349
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,440
But then like half round 
inflation, you get to like the 

1350
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,280
early teens and then there's no 
quarterbacks in the class. 

1351
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,880
So like maybe we just take him 
one, but he isn't really there 

1352
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,440
with Shidur Even so the guy 
you're talking about like that, 

1353
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,920
you're just like, fuck it, we 
need a quarterback, let's take 

1354
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,720
him is kind of chador for. 
A lot of people. 

1355
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,160
And he might be gone at 3:00 and
then there's like not really a 

1356
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,480
guy, I don't think maybe maybe, 
you know, it's a long process. 

1357
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,720
There could be. 
I think Jackson Dart has his 

1358
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,840
fans. 
Mill Row was like looking like 

1359
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:20,040
an intriguing first round 
project type of bet at one point

1360
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:21,439
and seems like that's cooled 
off. 

1361
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,920
I think it's like. 
That is, the Titans or the 

1362
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:33,439
Browns don't take a quarterback 
because there's Abdul Carter's 

1363
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,279
like a sick edge prospect and 
obviously Travis Hunter. 

1364
01:08:36,279 --> 01:08:40,560
So those two guys maybe maybe 
like the Browns, just like we're

1365
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,439
going to take our favorite of 
those guys and then they take 

1366
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,040
Shidora 3 or something like 
that. 

1367
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:49,520
So they have a decent amount of 
cap space, right? 

1368
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:53,680
Yeah, they're like middle of the
pack. 

1369
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:55,800
I just looked it up over the 
pack, over the cap. 

1370
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,600
I guess what I, what, what I was
thinking is even, I mean, I, I 

1371
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,800
do know that the quarterback 
class is not expected to be 

1372
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,760
great and maybe they won't take 
one at three, maybe they'll have

1373
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:08,560
to trade out or something. 
I think Dabel knows that he kind

1374
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,200
of like needs to take a 
quarterback at this point or 

1375
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:12,840
else, like you just said, he's 
got fired. 

1376
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,600
I think the, the overwhelming 
wisdom or like thought process 

1377
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,560
is he's getting fired this year.
But if you take a quarterback, 

1378
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:20,120
you almost buy yourself another 
year. 

1379
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,600
Like I think they're like really
likely to be like, we actually 

1380
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,120
want to handpick our own 
quarterback. 

1381
01:09:25,359 --> 01:09:27,399
Let us do that. 
You kept us on to let us do 

1382
01:09:27,399 --> 01:09:29,080
that. 
We we got settled with Daniel 

1383
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,680
Jones. 
And so they're going to do 

1384
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,880
almost anything in their power. 
They might trade up, you know, 

1385
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:34,200
to get to. 
They could trade up. 

1386
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,359
Top one, maybe give up a future 
1st to do it because they're on 

1387
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:38,600
their last year. 
Who cares? 

1388
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:40,479
Yeah, yeah, they don't give a 
shit. 

1389
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,200
Like it's not our, it's not our 
money. 

1390
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:46,640
We're going to be gone anyway. 
But then also bring in a vet as 

1391
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,000
a bridge. 
So like it it you mentioned JJ 

1392
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:50,200
McCarthy. 
It could wind up being very 

1393
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,399
similar to what the Vikings came
into this year with where they 

1394
01:09:52,399 --> 01:09:55,840
just replace Cousins with a 
Darnold McCarthy tandem. 

1395
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,040
And if you do that, then I start
thinking, OK, well, the 

1396
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,800
quarterback play has a little 
bit of a higher floor when you 

1397
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:03,760
give me two options. 
I mean, I made that case with 

1398
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,520
the Raiders last year when you 
had both Minshew and O'Connell. 

1399
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,800
Those guys are both bad options.
But it did actually end up being

1400
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,480
a pretty decent passing 
environment. 

1401
01:10:11,480 --> 01:10:14,200
Bowers ends up having a great 
year and still doesn't. 

1402
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,520
The Raider had to play and then 
it was horrible and doesn't know

1403
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,880
how to play. 
But that's so frustrating, like,

1404
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,000
you know, I had a 555 with 
Bowers and it was like, as long 

1405
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,200
as Bowers has a good game and 
then you're like, does see 

1406
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,560
Desmond, you're like, I'm so 
fucked. 

1407
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:31,280
No for. 
Sure, but I'm hoping the Giants 

1408
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,760
love two guys where the floors 
like, you know, a little bit 

1409
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:35,440
there. 
What? 

1410
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:40,720
So dude, in ranking the 
quarterbacks, it's so ugly. 

1411
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:45,320
Like I have Chador and Cam Ward 
in there and then I'm like, I'm 

1412
01:10:45,440 --> 01:10:47,640
out of quarterbacks by 30. 
Like there's just not enough 

1413
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,320
dudes. 
Like I think is Daniel Jones 

1414
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:53,320
starting for for a team this 
year is well, that's why I 

1415
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,040
think. 
Donald's gone from the Vikings. 

1416
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:57,920
I think Daniel Jones and 
McCarthy is what the Vikings do.

1417
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:02,800
I think they just keep him. 
Minnesota, he chose to go there.

1418
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,360
Kevin O'Connell seems like a guy
who likes likes to give guys 

1419
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:07,880
other chances and like build 
them up. 

1420
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,800
And they want to probably turn 
it over to McCarthy after Donald

1421
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,800
completely collapsed late last 
year. 

1422
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,000
I don't think Donald's going to 
be back. 

1423
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,000
Like Hayden, for example, I know
has been talking about they're 

1424
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:18,440
going to use some type of tag on
him. 

1425
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,240
I guess I'd be kind of surprised
the way that O'Connell talked 

1426
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,320
about it after that loss too in 
the postseason. 

1427
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:27,040
He had some really good, like, 
I, I tweeted about it. 

1428
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,680
I, I thought he's a great coach 
and just like a good, like 

1429
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,040
thinker. 
A lot of really good stuff about

1430
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,480
like, like perspective about 
like, look, we've been through a

1431
01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:38,720
long journey this year and, and 
things that we can do better and

1432
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:40,680
things that Donald can do better
and all these things. 

1433
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:44,840
When he was asked directly about
it, he wasn't avoiding the 

1434
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,560
question, but he also was 
talking in a way that was like 

1435
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,480
certainly wasn't like that 
chapter is certainly over for 

1436
01:11:51,480 --> 01:11:55,000
us. 
But to me, it was like, I wish 

1437
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,840
him the best sort of was the 
vibe that I got, you know, in a 

1438
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:03,400
very like mentor way. 
But I don't know, I just never 

1439
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,400
really heard a coach handled 
something as well as I thought 

1440
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,320
he he handled that. 
But the the vibe that I got, I 

1441
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,440
could be wrong, was that he was 
basically like, yeah, I mean, 

1442
01:12:10,440 --> 01:12:11,880
we're we're going to move on 
from it. 

1443
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,720
So I'm assuming that McCarthy, 
I'm assuming that Darnold is 

1444
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,520
elsewhere. 
I'm assuming that Fields or 

1445
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,920
Russ, let's say, but I think 
it's probably Fields takes the 

1446
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:27,480
Steelers job. 
And I'm assuming that, you know,

1447
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:31,480
like some of the like Justin 
Fields is still, sorry, Geno 

1448
01:12:31,480 --> 01:12:36,800
Smith and Derek Carr and like 
kind of like the some of the 

1449
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,280
starters we're like less excited
about are all still in place. 

1450
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:42,880
What about and? 
You were saying, what if he's 

1451
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,080
gone? 
Well, but I what I'm saying for 

1452
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:46,920
this is that I'm assuming he's 
there. 

1453
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:50,280
I'm still I'm still and I'm 
assuming Shidor starts week 1 

1454
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,200
and Cam starts week one. 
I'm the quarterback short, 

1455
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,440
right? 
So here's the guys someone 

1456
01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:58,880
starting from this group. 
I get like or maybe, maybe 

1457
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:04,400
another name, but Kirk Cousins, 
Daniel Jones, Will Levis, But it

1458
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:07,160
won't be him. 
Gardner Minshew, Aaron Jones, 

1459
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:09,600
Deshaun Watson. 
Obviously won't be Russell 

1460
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,720
Wilson. 
You think it's? 

1461
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:13,360
You said Aaron Jones. 
Did you mean Aaron Rodgers? 

1462
01:13:13,480 --> 01:13:17,600
Aaron Rodgers. 
Yeah, so I mean between Rodgers 

1463
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:21,000
and Cousins. 
A team at the Giant retires, I 

1464
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:22,080
think. 
I think Rodgers is going to 

1465
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,280
retire. 
Maybe he retires, but I think 

1466
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,280
it's possible he continues to 
play because he wants to go out 

1467
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,200
on his own terms. 
Cousins, I think, start 

1468
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:32,280
somewhere. 
Yeah, I think that's what it is.

1469
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,560
Probably it's cousins. 
He's going to get cut or 

1470
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,520
whatever, but wherever he goes, 
he's going to go where he thinks

1471
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:37,920
he can start. 
It could be the Giants. 

1472
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:39,880
I mean, I'll take Kirk Cousins 
throwing them in league 

1473
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:40,840
neighbors. 
Fuck it. 

1474
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,320
Yeah, it won't be great, but 
it'll be. 

1475
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:51,240
Better won't be great last year.
It's something I'd like Cousins 

1476
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:57,360
to the Browns because then the 
Browns can take Abdul Carter or 

1477
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:00,880
Travis Hunter and like get a 
blue chip defensive guy, which I

1478
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,240
think I I think Hunter. 
That's another one of the big 

1479
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:05,080
questions the offseason is what 
position is Hunter play? 

1480
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:06,680
It seems like cornerback. 
What are you, what are you 

1481
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,840
putting him at? 
Because I think I heard 

1482
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,120
underdogs just going to put him 
as a wide receiver and let 

1483
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,040
people take the risk. 
Oh, he should be. 

1484
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:15,360
He should. 
If they don't list him in a wide

1485
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,200
receiver, I'll be annoyed. 
I want him in the pool. 

1486
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:22,040
Yeah, he'll be in the pool. 
I think he should be. 

1487
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,040
We, we have him at like 1:30. 
That's that's where. 

1488
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:32,120
We have him Jalen Polk range. 
Jalen Polk range where like he's

1489
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,640
he's he could literally be a 
zero all year. 

1490
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,240
So you maybe there's a chance he
plays receiver? 

1491
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,960
You could draft Travis on the 
set up, Kirk Cousins if we're 

1492
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,560
going to extend that. 
And I feel like he's going to be

1493
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:45,960
a top five pick and even if he 
is a corner, he's not going to 

1494
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:47,600
be a 0. 
They're still going to put him 

1495
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:48,680
on. 
Off won't be a zero, it'll be a 

1496
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:50,120
0. 
Yeah, you'll have some trick 

1497
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,920
plays and some shit that maybe 
it'll work out. 

1498
01:14:53,480 --> 01:14:56,200
The issue is the ceiling though.
Like you're like at what point 

1499
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,680
is it OK to not really have a 
ceiling for sure? 

1500
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:01,480
You know, like you're like in 
the best case. 

1501
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,120
Scenario is like discount 
Jameson Williams or he's just 

1502
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:07,360
like racking up explosive plays 
on pretty limited volume. 

1503
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:09,600
Right. 
It's like where does like one 

1504
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,840
spike week get me to where I'm 
like, man, OK, that's fine. 

1505
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,080
And it's it's not it's not like 
the knife. 

1506
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:18,040
You just. 
Count Marvin Mims, even. 

1507
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:19,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1508
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,960
A few manufactured touches, a 
few bombs. 

1509
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,200
Yeah, but I, I mean, I don't 
know where he goes. 

1510
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,640
It's I think we're probably 
fading him, but I would kind of 

1511
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:32,960
love if he's announced as a 
corner and but honestly, like if

1512
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:34,760
he's a receiver, then I'd be 
really in. 

1513
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:38,920
He plays both ways. 
At the NFL level for a period of

1514
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,920
time, I honestly it. 
Would be so fun young. 

1515
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,400
Players like they're going to 
draft him really high. 

1516
01:15:45,480 --> 01:15:48,560
He did it in college. 
He's not going to like when they

1517
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:50,840
start interviewing him at the 
combine and stuff. 

1518
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:52,600
He's going to be like, I'm 
playing both ways. 

1519
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:54,040
Like stop asking me that 
question. 

1520
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:55,760
You know, like when Lamar would 
people like, are you going to 

1521
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:57,320
work out a receiver? 
He's talking about quarterbacks.

1522
01:15:57,320 --> 01:15:58,440
Stop asking me this stupid 
question. 

1523
01:15:58,440 --> 01:16:00,720
Like this is just speculation 
about him because people think 

1524
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:02,800
he's a better corner. 
I think he's going to be like, 

1525
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,240
you want to draft me? 
I want to play on both sides of 

1526
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,440
the ball. 
That'd be my guess. 

1527
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:14,280
Man, I, I think I'm, I think I'd
get mostly on board if he is was

1528
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,880
adamant that he's playing both 
ways and the team and that 

1529
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,880
started to be noises that the 
team drafting him would be open 

1530
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,720
to that. 
Then I think then man, you'd 

1531
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:32,240
talk about him maybe in the 70s,
something like that, because now

1532
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:33,720
you actually do have a bit of a 
ceiling. 

1533
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:35,840
It's risky. 
It's still like riskier than 

1534
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:37,960
it's a lot riskier than Tat 
because he might not play 

1535
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,280
offense. 
But this dude went and played 

1536
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:45,760
for Dion the last, like the last
best guy that played a little 

1537
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:48,080
bit on both sides of the ball. 
Dion actually played some legit 

1538
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,720
receiver for Dallas for a 
season, followed him to 

1539
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:55,040
Colorado, desperately wanted to 
be great, desperately wanted to 

1540
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:56,600
win the Heisman. 
There was talk about that. 

1541
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:59,520
There was like a whole campaign.
Players don't want to just like 

1542
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,920
limit their ceiling and go, I'm 
going to go play defense my 

1543
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:03,400
whole career. 
This guy wants to be known as 

1544
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,480
the greatest player of all time,
like play individually. 

1545
01:17:06,480 --> 01:17:09,320
He wants to be elite at 
everything. 

1546
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,280
I think he's going to play 
receiver and. 

1547
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:15,240
We need we need FFPC to judge 
his question to weigh in and 

1548
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:18,960
what they'll do because they 
they're the the site that goes 

1549
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,560
with the official depth chart, 
even if the basketball contest 

1550
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,240
has been opened. 
So what is it 80s quarterback, 

1551
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:25,520
what happens? 
Tell us now. 

1552
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,120
That would be incredible. 
We need. 

1553
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:31,880
To know. 
All right, well, we're gonna 

1554
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:36,040
have a we're gonna have a long 
offseason to discuss all such 

1555
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,160
matters, but it was good to sync
back up. 

1556
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:39,960
Like I mentioned at the top of 
the show, we are gonna be 

1557
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,880
rolling regularly in the 
afternoons on Thursday, which is

1558
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,080
what we did last year in the 
offseason. 

1559
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,680
Works much better with all of 
our schedules. 

1560
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,400
We'll also have ADP chasing you 
guys will keep your your Monday 

1561
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:53,680
time. 
Although there was something in 

1562
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:55,480
your group chat path that you 
guys were going to maybe try to 

1563
01:17:55,480 --> 01:17:58,120
get together for an episode 
later this week, or I guess that

1564
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:02,120
would be tomorrow. 
Yeah, I need to figure that. 

1565
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,240
Out. 
So maybe that'll happen. 

1566
01:18:04,440 --> 01:18:07,640
You know, we had we had the bike
show Davis Matic bills versus 

1567
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,600
Chiefs angle in case you didn't 
get enough of the Davis Matic 

1568
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:14,480
versus Liam angle there. 
And why is Lambie on radar? 

1569
01:18:15,440 --> 01:18:17,160
The Davis Matic versus Leone 
angle? 

1570
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:18,880
I mean, there, there's Davis 
against the world. 

1571
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,880
That's true. 
Oh man, we had yeah, Mike was 

1572
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,560
busy, but it's it's he's lucky 
the bills won, you know, cuz 

1573
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:27,800
it's it's a it's a different 
vibe. 

1574
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,040
If if we cancel the show after 
bills win than after Bills loss 

1575
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:33,920
you know. 
It's true, it's true. 

1576
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:38,200
All right, appreciate you guys. 
If you want to hop in the 

1577
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,800
discord, you can become a 
YouTube member, hop in there. 

1578
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:44,360
Otherwise, you guys should see 
ADP chasing and then we will be 

1579
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:49,160
back next Thursday at this 3:00 
PM Eastern Time. 

1580
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,480
All right, for Gretch, for Pat, 
I'm Pete. 

1581
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:54,480
We'll see you guys next time on 
ship chasing.
