Player analysis

Player insights

A.J. Brown

PositiveValue31:52

The source considers A.J. Brown a superior draft option compared to Omari Hampton in the second round, describing the decision as a tough one but ultimately leaning toward the receiver.

PositiveValue52:22

The source considers AJ Brown a superior draft option compared to Omari Hampton, describing the decision as a tough one but leaning toward the receiver.

Alec Ingold

NegativeUsage54:07

Alec Ingold is noted as part of the team's personnel usage, specifically in heavier sets like 12 and 13 personnel, which impacts the running game context for Omari Hampton.

Ashton Jeanty

PositiveBreakout47:06

The source compares Ashton Jeanty to Bijan Robinson as one of the best running back prospects in the modern fantasy era. Despite a potential slow start due to an ankle injury and competition from Mike Washington, the source views Jeanty as a high-upside target who could command a massive target share in a weak Raiders receiving corps, potentially functioning as a three-down back under OC Clint Kubiak. The source also notes confusing coachspeak from Kubiak regarding Jeanty's usage.

Breece Hall

PositiveRole52:56

The source identifies Breece Hall as a potential bellcow running back, highlighting his high-end role and value in the current fantasy landscape.

Brian Thomas Jr.

NegativeProjection75:01

The source cites Brian Thomas Jr. as an example of inflated coachspeak projections, referencing past claims of him receiving 10 targets per game.

Brock Bowers

PositiveBreakout31:56

The source is highly optimistic about Brock Bowers, projecting him as the Raiders' primary receiving threat and wide receiver one in terms of target share. The source suggests he could be the Offensive Player of the Year and break tight end receiving records in a high-performing offense.

Cam Skattebo

NegativeValue4:07

Cam Skattebo is a strong pick at his fifth-round ADP; he moves differently than other rostered backs and displays superior tackle evasion and extra-yardage ability compared to peers like Najee Harris and Devin Singletary. While he has caused friction in practice for overly aggressive play, and there is some risk regarding coaching staff preferences for Najee Harris, the source believes a 'hot hand' approach would favor Skattebo as the more talented runner. He is a three-down bellcow candidate with an underrated receiving profile, and comparisons to fullbacks like Peyton Hillis misrepresent his actual skill set.

Chase Brown

NegativeValue67:07

The source ranks Chase Brown ahead of Omari Hampton but remains willing to draft Hampton ahead of Brown, noting low exposure (4%) to both players.

Christian McCaffrey

PositiveUsage47:05

The source highlights Christian McCaffrey as the gold standard for running back usage, noting his high snap percentage and ability to produce elite fantasy numbers even on struggling teams. The source views pairing McCaffrey with Omari Hampton as an ideal roster construction strategy in the second round.

D'Andre Swift

PositiveRole25:58

Ben Johnson has praised DeAndre Swift's progress, noting that his vision and understanding of offensive concepts are the best he has seen at this time of year. Swift is now correctly bouncing runs and cutting upfield as intended, leading to expectations that he is primed for a big year if he remains healthy.

PositiveUsage35:07

The source is increasingly bullish on D'Andre Swift due to reports of improved vision and adherence to blocking schemes under Ben Johnson. Despite historical short-yardage struggles, the team trusted him in those situations last year, supported by an elite offensive line that led the league in yards before contact. With teammate Kendre Miller dealing with multiple injuries, Swift is positioned for a significant early-season workload; while the source is skeptical of his current ADP at the 3/4 turn, they find him attractive at the 4/5 turn.

Davante Adams

NegativeUsage60:28

The source uses Davante Adams as the benchmark for a dominant red-zone receiving threat that the current team lacks, which increases the likelihood of Omari Hampton receiving goal-line carries.

Dylan Laube

NegativeRole70:07

The source expresses skepticism regarding coach comments about Dylan Laube playing multiple phases, including defense at corner, noting that his role is likely limited to a pass-protection specialist.

Javonte Williams

NegativeValue58:53

The source uses Javonte Williams as a benchmark for potential underperformance, suggesting that if Omari Hampton is not a true three-down back, he could be outscored by players like Williams, who is described as being on a much worse team.

Justin Jefferson

PositiveValue30:30

The source suggests that Justin Jefferson is a more reliable draft pick than Omari Hampton in the early second round.

Keaton Mitchell

NegativeUsage27:46

The source expresses concern regarding Keaton Mitchell's fantasy outlook due to a 'mystery injury' and his potential to siphon receptions and touches from Omari Hampton. If Mitchell commands eight or more touches per game, it would significantly dampen Hampton's ability to return value on a second-round draft pick.

Kendre Miller

NegativeInjury17:28

Kendre Miller is dealing with multiple injuries this offseason, which the source notes is concerning for a late-round pick who relies on burst. His inability to practice and compete for a larger role during his second summer is viewed as a negative for his outlook and potentially bullish for D'Andre Swift's early-season usage. The source compares his running style to Cameron Skattebo, noting both are between-the-tackles pounders who rely on just enough burst to be effective; if they lose even a half-step due to injury, their effectiveness at the NFL level is likely over.

Kenneth Walker III

PositiveValue31:44

The source expresses a clear preference for Kenneth Walker over Omari Hampton at their current draft positions, noting that this stance has solidified since drafts opened. The source consistently selects Walker when available.

Kimani Vidal

PositiveDepth Chart65:20

The source does not believe Kamani Vidal will be a significant factor in the backfield rotation, dismissing concerns about him siphoning work unless an injury occurs.

Malik Nabers

NegativeValue52:29

The source identifies Malik Nabers as a player currently being weighed against Omari Hampton in draft considerations.

Mike Washington Jr.

NegativeBust68:34

The source is skeptical of Mike Washington, noting he was not a good college back and that his preseason performance is likely an outlier similar to past preseason 'hall of famers' like Ameer Abdullah. The source also highlights confusing coachspeak from Clint Kubiak regarding his usage.

Najee Harris

NegativeValue18:49

Najee Harris is a viable late-round target in managed and redraft leagues as a low-cost depth option. While the source views him as inferior to Cam Skattebo in terms of efficiency and tackle evasion, Harris remains a useful roster stash to monitor early in the season, with the potential to pay off if the team's backfield situation evolves.

Peyton Hillis

NegativeRole13:22

The source notes that Cam Skattebo has been unfairly compared to fullbacks like Peyton Hillis, which misrepresents his actual profile as a three-down back rather than just a two-down hammer.

Saquon Barkley

PositiveValue31:42

Saquon Barkley is a preferred draft target over Omari Hampton in the second round due to his proven high-level production. The source consistently selects him when available in drafts.

Travis Etienne

NegativeProjection75:11

The source cites Travis Etienne as an example of inflated coachspeak, referencing a claim of 20 targets per game.

Tyler Allgeier

NegativeRole72:23

The source uses Tyler Allgeier as a benchmark for a running back who might be asked to play unconventional roles, such as linebacker, in a 'reverse' scenario.

Woody Marks

PositiveBreakout20:09

The source reports that Woody Marks is having a strong second summer in Houston, with coaches signaling he has taken a step forward. While the source remains skeptical of his overall talent, they acknowledge he looked good in preseason action and is likely to earn a bigger role in the offense than initially expected.

0:02Welcome to the Legendary Upside podcast and YouTube channel. My name is Pat Rain. You can follow my content at legendaryupsside.com.

0:08With me today, Greg Branos of the Coach Speak Index for Legendary Coach Speak Pod. Greg, how's it going?

0:14>> Going great, man. Done with preseason and and we're a week away from regular NFL football. Can't can't wait.

0:22>> How you feeling about that? I'm Bart Scotten over here.

0:26>> I think I I've begun to think that over the last couple days that the kind of the insanity of August,

0:36the the main purpose of it is actually to invigorate us for the NFL season.

0:43Partly in, you know, a classic like let's get excited, let's start thinking about the NFL, you know, but also just in like I'm ready for this part to be

0:52over. [laughter] >> Yeah.

0:55Chaos is the spice of life, as they say.

0:58>> Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, just it it gets to a point and credit to us because this is kind of insane, but it gets to

1:06the point where the NFL season actually being live seems mellow and chill and just like, you know,

1:16tracking real results and then discussing those real results just sounds like a a step down in terms of intensity level.

1:24>> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter] >> Am I alone here? No, there there there's not as much like forecasting and and and parsing really to do um you know during

1:35during the during this off season you know it's it's like 90man rosters and there are going to be like big surprises

1:43that happen onfield offfield like no no nobody really thought that Jaden Blue would would get cut and uh yeah it's

1:55it's a it's a time of year and also an awful time of [laughter] year.

2:00>> Right. Right. Um but yeah, let's So, one reason that it can be kind of a tough time of year,

2:09summer colds, man. It's nice out. All of a sudden, you got a little scratchy throat. Uh and then you start infecting

2:16your teammates, right? And then your coach starts talking about how, you know, you're spreading a virus around the locker room. Uh it's not good. What

2:25what are your thoughts on the uh the current outbreak in the New York Giants locker room?

2:30>> Listen, RFK Jr., please resign. All right.

2:37>> Are you not You're saying it's bad if all the food is poison. Is that your position?

2:41>> The lettuce is making us [ __ ] The tofu has ink in it. And >> literally every every day >> and Cam Scataboo uh is is patient zero

2:50of a of a new pandemic we're about to enter into. Yeah, John.

2:55>> It's really wild.

2:56>> We So, we got these reports on August 26 of this Giants practice where, you know, they're not allowed to tackle. I I think there's

3:07like some contact, maybe some maybe it's like thuting, but they're not allowed to tackle and Cam Scataboo is being a little bit of a [ __ ] and kind of

3:16taking advantage of the defense not being allowed to take him to the ground.

3:20Uh but but he's just like full force bowling people over and you know reports coming out that the defense is not not

3:28too happy uh about that and then they there there's a press conference after practice.

3:33>> Well, he also apparently slid like in a in an aggressive way and almost took out someone's knee.

3:40>> Yes. So there was like I think there was kind of this pattern of you're not allowed to hit and he's and day in day

3:46out he's running into dudes giving them the shoulder and it's like dude >> there is an element of like what is your

3:53deal like this is like do you not understand rules like you realize we're like part of a team like I I understand

3:59the frustration there but then it sounds like the last straw was he almost seriously hurt someone by by sliding at their legs.

4:05>> Yeah. in in in this press conference after after practice, one of the reporters asks John Harbaugh about the different energy that Cam Scataboo

4:17brings when he touches the ball and is that energy infectious for the whole team. And this was a this the question

4:24was framed in a great way because they don't ask directly about what happened in practice, right? like they but but kind of leading uh Harbaugh to kind of

4:35go down that road if he wants to. And Harbaugh says Scat's great. He does bring a lot of energy, but he did get a

4:4115-yd penalty at the end of practice.

4:44That's not infectious. Well, it is infectious actually. Infectious in the bad way, like infectious disease type of thing. We don't want that. We want it to

4:56be directed in the positive way.

5:03>> [laughter] >> infectious disease. Oh my god.

5:08>> Yeah, that's a brilliant question because to frame it, it's almost like the reporter there is is playing dumb, right? They're kind of like

5:17>> they're sort of, you know, in a believable way, but like, oh, Scaboo, like, isn't he just delightful? And he's like, "Right."

5:24>> Yeah. You know, [laughter] kind of. But you really got him.

5:31>> Yeah. If if if the fact that that the reporter was not Jordan Renan, I think helped get a get a good answer out of

5:39out of John Harbaugh. He's he's been battling on almost a daily basis with with Renan when Renan asks questions. Um

5:49but uh yeah, this was this was quite the quote. Now, you know, it uh infectious being in the question like >> Right. Right.

6:00>> It's it almost like like he incepted John Harbaugh.

6:04>> He did. He did. He did.

6:06>> Yeah. [laughter] >> He wouldn't have used infectious if he hadn't heard it just a second before.

6:12There's no way.

6:13>> Yes.

6:13>> Yeah. Correct. Um, so very very interesting uh quote from Harbaugh, but I think it also does like there there have also

6:24been some like really really bullish quotes from Harbaugh going back to uh June 9th. Harbaugh was asked about his sense of Scataboo as a player and

6:36what did Harbaugh think of him coming out of college and Harbaugh said downhill runner, tone setter type runner. He's a tough tackle and that's

6:44what you look for. How many guys can make yards when they're not supposed to make yards on on their own? He was that

6:50kind of guy at Arizona State and last year he's a top tier back and he's planning on playing that way this year.

6:58So, so it is like a a little bit of a hard ball like protottypical running back like the kind of running

7:06back that he likes, but at the same time like let's let's tone it down uh a little bit.

7:16>> Yeah. I mean, I think with Cam Scaboo, one of my concerns actually is that he only sees him as like a tone setter.

7:23like that. I think I I am worried about Harbaugh and Naggi utilizing Scataboo in a way that aligns with the way that like

7:32you would think if you only saw Cam Scatteraboo run the ball, you'd be like, "Oh, I totally get it." And you do

7:40totally get it from the perspective of what he is as a runner. But he's also a really good receiver. And that's that's

7:47a important part of Scataboo's profile, one that I think was underrated coming out. um and one that led to a lot of his

7:56fantasy success last season before the injury. It's like no dude, this is a threeown type of player. He's not just a

8:02two down hammer. He's being compared to like fullbacks and you know, Payton Hillis and stuff like that when he was coming in the league. Like, no, no, no.

8:10Like, he is he he is that guy's a runner, but he is actually much closer to like a three down bellcow type of guy

8:17than that. And my concern is that they just kind of view him as as a two- down hammer, which would be kind of dumb, but

8:28you know, I don't I don't think a ton of of Naggie, especially here. And and I could see them pigeon holeing him, you

8:34know, again, because of the stylistic stuff that you do get with Scataboo. Um, and maybe they they want to limit how

8:42much he's on the field because he can't protect himself in the same way that Dart can't. Maybe he doesn't like want

8:48him out there on passing downs with Dark because he might like whisper some stuff like run dude. [laughter] But you know I I think I also think

9:02personally and I'm curious your take on this, but like they've just come off this 15 yard penalties. He got a 15-

9:08yard penalty today, right? That's the quote >> today. So it happened >> like right before that press conference.

9:15He's been an [ __ ] all week. He then gets a 15 yard penalty for being an extra big [ __ ] and then he's asked

9:21like, "Hey, he's pretty fun and awesome for your team, huh?" And he's like, you know, he kind of isn't all the time,

9:27actually. So, it to me feels like a frustrated coach in August. I'm not sure that it's going to as far as like

9:36opening up the door for like is is Scataboo going to be a big part of the team? Is Naji going to take his job?

9:43which Scataboo's fallen since this quote. Like you can get him in the fifth round. It's not every draft, but you can

9:49get him in the fifth round. And that's feels like a little bit of an overreaction to me. I I think there's

9:55some risk with Scataboo, but if he has the type of role he did last year, he's going to absolutely crush a fifth round

10:00ADP and he can beat a fifth round ADP even if he doesn't have as much receiving as he did last year.

10:06>> Yeah. Really good in the in the pass game. Well, I I I think it also carries a little bit of weight that this guy's

10:14like best friends with with Jackson Dart, the franchise quarterback there.

10:20Um he he's a hammer at the goal line.

10:24He just like your team has a better chance of winning when he's on the field and and and the stuff that Harbaugh had

10:31said back in June, like that is that is true. He is a tone setter and Harbaugh is a tone setter type of guy. like he

10:38ran his guys [ __ ] ragged in Baltimore in in in practices just like always pushing them past the limit. So So you

10:47could see why he would like this type of guy. And we're getting to the point now at the regular season where like you

10:55don't have to worry about this like crazy practice stuff, right? like we're playing real NFL games now and like he does move differently than the other

11:06running backs on this roster. Like pe like you mentioned people people had this like Payton Hillis kind of picture of him but man like we saw it even even

11:15in the preseason which he's he he's not 100% yet. Harbaugh has said that uh like other uh I think Naggie has said that as

11:23well that in the preseason when we saw him he wasn't 100% and he still looked really good like he's he's evading

11:29tackles like he's getting extra yards that guys like Naji Harris like probably are not getting that like Devin Singleary are not are not getting. Uh

11:40and he and he's just multiple uh in the um in as a runner in the pass game. So yeah, I I I think a fifth round price is

11:50good. I do wonder with the Naji signing like how much is Greg Roman kind of whispering in Matt Naggie's ear about

11:58this guy because we know that Roman is a big Naji Harris fan. Uh the the whole like fireworks incident last year in LA

12:07kind of like set things back. He was kind of talking about this one two punch with Omari and Hampton last year. But yeah, when when we're

12:17drafting on draft kings, like full PPR, I think I think Scataboo is a pretty pretty good pick in the fifth.

12:24>> Yeah, I do too. And I think I think Harris is in the mix late. Um especially in managed leagues and and reddraft

12:31leagues. Um because I think that probably Scataboo should just be the guy. Um, but there is a chance of us like having

12:43misread this situation a little bit and then like in retrospect, you know, like wow, they did talk a lot about wanting

12:49Naja Harris and there is this Greg Roman connection and Scataboo kind of wore out his welcome in a month with this new coaching staff kind of

12:58thing, which again I don't really think is the way it's going to play out. But rather than be overly cautious on Scataboo there, I'm

13:08willing to go, let me just take a peek at what happens with the Naji role to start the season and I'm most interested

13:15in that where I can then cut him. Um, and so in the main event, we've been taking Naji, you know, 15 16th round

13:23pretty consistently in our in our drafts. I'm gonna be interested in continuing to do that. Uh, I do think there is some upside to Naji when he's

13:31very very free, you know, in a in a in like the main event. You can start up to four running backs. Um, it can be useful

13:39to have that ability, you know, during the by-weeks and stuff. So, like Naji could pay off in a pretty big way. Uh,

13:45especially where you can go, oh, it's Naji looks like absolute ass and Scataboo's dusted him. Let's let's take another crack at this. uh you you know

13:55your use of a roster spot uh on another player. So, >> and Naji is younger than people imagine, right? Like the some people hear Naji

14:04Harris and they think >> 27 28 >> I want to say he's like 26 or 27.

14:11Let's see. Oh, you know what? Nope.

14:14>> He's 28.

14:15>> Yeah, he [laughter] turned 28 or he's like >> he's not 28.

14:19>> It's not that it's not that young.

14:26Yeah, [laughter] >> he's not 30.

14:29>> He's not 30. He's in his 20s.

14:32>> He's still in his roaring 20s. Um, >> still in his roaring 20s. And I I I do remember back to Matt Naggie with the

14:40Chiefs asking him about like running back rotation and that kind of stuff and and him talking about like, oh, you don't necessarily want one runner, you

14:50know, just kind of see who has a hot hand kind of thing going, which which I I think a hot hand would favor Scataboo

14:58in this in this back field.

15:00>> Yeah, we we've talked about this. This is This is one of my favorite things is like hot hand is good if you're the

15:04better player.

15:05>> Yeah.

15:06>> Like hot hand is kind of always saying I'm going to play like meritocracy type stuff. What you don't want is like when

15:12there's a clearly a better runner is like it's important >> not to overuse guys and different players do different things. Well, keep

15:19them fresh.

15:20>> That's bad. That's the bearish stuff when when one guy's good and one guy's bad.

15:26>> Hot hand is is generally good. which which Greg Roman last year was saying uh that that like a bellcow running back is

15:34kind of like dinosa like they're extinct like dinosaurs.

15:38>> Yeah. See, that's that's bad when you have Hampton first round rookie and and Naji Harris there. Yeah. Um, let's let's talk about uh another

15:49another lead running probably a kind of a 1A running back you'd think, but maybe moving towards more of a true kind of

15:57every down guy for the time being.

15:58DeAndre Swift, uh, you know, Manungai banged up. Ben Johnson had some comments on his year.

16:05>> Yes. August 27th, Ben Johnson was asked where he has seen DeAndre Swift's progress in understanding the concepts and tracks that Johnson is looking for.

16:17And Johnson said, "It's the best I've seen him this time of year. You look back at a year ago, he was very

16:22explosive. And yet, it takes a little while to gel between him and the offensive line. I think he's accelerating his vision at this point.

16:30He bounces it when we're supposed to bounce it. He hits it right on the spot when it's there, then he cuts it up. I

16:35think he's doing a really good job right now. We just got to get him to week one nice and healthy and ready to go. I

16:42think he's primed for a big year. And you know, last season during the off season when when uh when Ben Johnson

16:53gets there and they have DeAndre Swift and people are wondering like, well, Ben Ben Johnson didn't really like this guy when they were in Detroit together. But

17:02Johnson started kind of like talking him up uh last year and and and signaling that okay like thing things are actually

17:10kind of fine between them and he he does believe uh in DeAndre Swift and you know what the the vision was like one of the

17:17things that people were worried about with DeAndre Swift but man Ben Johnson designed such a nice run game. The offensive line is really good. uh Kyle

17:28Manun guy on August 18th was was labeled as week to week by Ben Johnson. So we're getting this nice runway like pro

17:38probably right out of the gate for DeAndre Swift to get like a pretty big workload initially and then when comes back if he's healthy then I think we we

17:50see more of a split there. like last year is I think kind of like 55 45ish um >> there but like it's it's a little

17:58worrisome that Manungai is has already been dealing with like a couple different injuries this off season and uh you know not as worrisome if he were

18:07this great athlete who was like a first or second round pick but this this was like a what sixth or seventh round pick

18:14and when you get those kinds of guys dealing with multiple injuries uh we've seen that with Isaiah Pacheco of how it

18:22really starts to sap like the necessary athleticism that these guys have.

18:30>> Yeah. Yeah, Pacheco was I think like a 437 and then you know it [clears throat] he was always I mean everyone you know

18:38we we're all very familiar with the Pacheco absurd running style and not like the most like laterally explosive but he he did get up to speed right

18:48reasonably quickly and was was pretty fast in a straight line. Um, and then when you lose that as Pacheco, it's kind

18:54of over. And Manunga is a similar thing except he's not even uh he's closer to Scataboo where it's like he's just got

19:05enough burst where it works because he's a a between the tackles pounder and was used that way at Ruckers. Very much a um

19:16you know a reliable guy who turns out yards consistently. Um, but yeah, if if he loses a a half a step

19:26that then I think that kind of ends at the NFL level. Um, but you know, I would say he is a secondyear guy. He's pro

19:33that's not a huge concern for me from a young guy. It it's more of like I think if he's playing hurt

19:40then, you know, he's not going to be very effective. So he probably more so than most backs like him playing at 95%

19:49is is probably a concern for how what his performance is. Uh but I do think with Manungai you are looking at a guy

19:57who was not very impressive as a rookie but also got playing time and then is in line to be the clear number two entering

20:09a second season.

20:11those types of backs can earn more work over that second summer, can impress, can look like, oh, this guy's taking a step forward. He's

20:21running harder, you know, he he's kind of looking more like a complete back.

20:26That's the story we're getting out of Houston with Woody Marks, you know, who I am not a big believer in the talent,

20:32but he's, you know, he looked pretty good in that preseason game. And like that fits with what the coaches have been saying like this guy has taken this

20:38summer and used it to to prove he's taken a step and probably will have a bigger role in that offense than he

20:45otherwise would have.

20:47Manungai not being able to do that because of because of having you know some injuries.

20:52That alone is pretty bullish for Swift.

20:55I think uh that threat is a little diminished because Manunga hasn't been able to take advantage of that opportunity. uh maybe over the course of

21:02the year, you know, he he starts to impact Swift a little bit more, but it certainly makes me more confident in

21:07what we're going to get uh in the early going with Swift. And you do also like Swift was a really talented running back

21:14coming out. He has had times where he's looked really good. It's that inconsistency that I worried about with him. the the stuff that Johnson's saying

21:22there about him not bouncing stuff outside he's not supposed to and you know understanding the the blocking and the vision better like that's all really

21:29bullish to me on Swift. Uh I've been a little bit skeptical of him really for several years now but this is I think

21:37been a pretty bullish uh summer for DeAndre Swift so far. I guess I mean we're we're done pretty much.

21:46>> [laughter] >> We we we have seen players already, you know, like barely over a year with Ben Johnson

21:56kind of o overcome their red flags and kind of turn them into green flag. Like we see this with with Luther Burton.

22:03We've seen it with his work ethic. like that was a big concern of of his coming out and now all of a sudden he's like

22:08one of the hardest working guys uh in the NFL and just like always at the facility and working hard at his craft

22:14and we get this stuff with with DeAndre Swift where yeah the the vision and and the the tracks that he's supposed to be

22:22on was a bit of a problem before and now apparently you know and and and this is who Ben Johnson is right like a really

22:29rigid kind of hard ass guy it's like you guys just need to trust me we're going to do it my way because my way has

22:37already been proven to work uh in at at the NFL. If >> you're as good at designing plays as he is, you want your players to execute

22:44those plays.

22:45>> Yeah. And and and I think that's the same kind of thing that we see from like Liam Cohen, right? Why like why he is so

22:51insistent on Bashel Tutin like staying on the right tracks >> when when he's running. like just trust me and like we know the talent that you

23:02have like we picked you because we had this vision in mind for you. So like just do what we want and things are are

23:09going to be great and it seems like DeAndre Swift is doing that. also kind of bullish that, you know, last year

23:14Manun guy is this kind of bigger, bruising kind of running back, but they still trusted DeAndre Swift in short yardage

23:24>> uh situations, which like I wasn't sure because given his history in the NFL, he had a really bad success rate

23:31>> on on short yardage. Um, now obviously the offensive line that they have helps out quite a bit because I I believe that

23:38offensive line provided more yards before contact than any other O line in in the NFL last year. Like definitely up at the very top. So that's that's big,

23:49too. Yeah, it's um it's it's a nice situation for him.

23:54>> Yeah, he's someone I'm going to be trying to get a little bit more of. Um >> he's going pretty early now. He's going

24:00pretty early, but yeah, the four five turn >> like I have there's times where like the cycle will have Scataboo ahead of Swift

24:07and I'm like I bet I get Scataboo if I push Swift around, you know, these two drafters or one or one drafter.

24:13>> I started seeing him at the 3 four turn in in the last >> Yeah, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing

24:18that. But it's more like it's kind of this reminds me a little bit when Parker Washington was at the 56 turn and I was

24:24like, "Okay, fine." You know, I'll do that because it's not going to last very long anyway. and uh you know now he's at

24:32the four five turn >> which I'm not doing but um >> yeah there's there's kind of that like I haven't been that in on Swift but

24:40getting >> getting kind of the last call on the on the price that actually looks pretty good now um I'm into chasing him up not

24:49not so into >> uh all right let's see the the next thing to talk about let's talk about Mike McDaniel on Omar and Hampton

25:00Uh that's a it's another you know potential bellcow running back Katon Mitchell you know kind of similar to the Manungai situation where the Katon

25:08Mitchell stuff might not be as big a concern because he's dealing with this injury but you know it's kind of unclear

25:15what the injury >> mystery injury >> mystery injury don't love that.

25:19>> No like the the little um god the little not laughy taffy but the the things >> Oh the airheads.

25:27>> The airheads. Yes. And it's a white. Why is it disgusting?

25:33>> Well, because it's clearly just the leftovers of the other Airheads that they couldn't. It's like, I got half a cherry, half a blue raspberry,

25:43and you know, who knows what. And they're like, well, they can go together and put a question mark on it [laughter]

25:48>> and you're good to go.

25:49>> People love a qu people will eat anything if you just put a question mark on it.

25:53>> But it's going to be a weird color. Oh, just bleach it. [laughter] just make it translucent.

26:01Uh yeah, Mike McDaniel on August 26 did this interview on Chris Sims Unbuttoned and very funny uh several times

26:11throughout the interview. He was just making fun of the name of of the show and of Chris Sims being like, "Your

26:18show's called Unutton, but I see you got a lot of buttons buttons buttoned up there, buddy."

26:24just stuff like that which uh Chris Sims seemed to like not really appreciate but kind of taking take stride for for the

26:31camera.

26:31>> Well, because Chris Sims kind of does he does he buttons his shirts all the way up and so then the unbuttoned I think

26:37it's supposed to be kind of like he's relaxed and it's a podcast environment but he still but if you I've I've done

26:42I've done stuff with Sims when I was at NBC. He still has the shirt. It's not like he unbuttons it.

26:47>> Yeah.

26:48>> So I think that unbuttoned is sort of the environment, you know.

26:51>> Yeah. All All he does is all he does is recline an extra like two degrees from where >> he usually sits.

26:58>> Yeah.

26:59>> Uh Mike McDaniel though was asked his impressions of Omari and Hampton so far.

27:05>> McDaniel said O was a target of mine in the draft. I loved his play speed. I actually see some similarities between

27:11Devon Achan and O.

27:13>> His nickname is O.

27:14>> Oh, just calling him O. He's a big Aello fan uh of of the >> I was thinking O face over [laughter]

27:22your O face.

27:23>> I was thinking of the A the Aellow remake with uh God who who's the one of the guys from 8 Mile and I think like

27:31Josh Hartnet. Um >> see I was watching Office Space, not the Oll remake. Sorry.

27:37>> We all have different O references. uh says, "I actually see some sim similarities between Devon Achan and O," which is funny because people say that

27:46Katon Mitchell is the Devon Achan guy.

27:48Um guys that in space don't hesitate and hit it. That's something that O does with power and speed and pad level. Same

27:56thing that Devon would do, just utilizing his quickness and vision. The way that O plays with the ball in his hands in space, the way he sets up his

28:04blockers by pressing and bringing the ball all the way to the heels of the blockers reminds me of Terrell Davis.

28:10So, there's similarities that have really struck with me. All you're trying to do in the run game is try to maximize

28:17the amount of space that a ball carrier can have to utilize his skill set. It's very easy in the run game to adjust for

28:23high producing high yards per carry players. I'm really excited about Oace because I think he's an extremely hard guy to tackle that's just starting to

28:33find his true NFL confidence. Guys with confidence with that amount of skill set, watch out. So, it'll be an exciting year for him. Yes, somebody's saying Mai

28:43Fiverr, they are correct in the chat.

28:47>> There you go. That [clears throat] sounds pretty exciting. Um, McDaniel has been a, you know, he's a little weirdo, you know, and I I say

28:56that I like McDaniel, but, you know, he's a little weirdo.

28:59>> And, uh, he says a bunch of stuff. He likes to talk. He likes to kind of I think he kind of enjoys

29:07>> he enjoys the sound of his own voice.

29:09>> He enjoys the sound of his not he enjoys the sound of his own thoughts.

29:12>> Yes.

29:12>> You [laughter] know, it's like, oh, look at that. Look at me. Look at me thinking of that. That's interesting. That's kind

29:18of a vibe I get. I was like >> very Yale coded.

29:22>> Yeah. So I I'm you know you you end up over the course of the summer accumulating a bunch of different things where he says like oh

29:31probably play all three of these guys and he's talked up Mitchell a bunch. But it is nice to see that he is talking up

29:38Hampton as well in some pretty bullish ways and all the McDaniel stuff I'm taking with, you know, a a decent amount

29:45of salt. But it's a it's still it's still bullish to hear that and uh in part because it'd be pretty worrying if we didn't hear it. So it's

29:54sort of like okay good. He he is saying nice things about the starter. Um and Hampton does seem to me like you would

30:01clearly want to build the run game around him. Um but yeah, I mean I think how like what the thing for Hampton for

30:09me is I wrote him up uh in my legendary running back article. It's on the site now. People want to check that out. Uh

30:15it's it did leave me feeling like we're probably overpricing him in that early second

30:25round range where he's just like we're asking for him to be immediately like a superstar with that kind of price you

30:32know in reddraft where you know you're potentially taking him depending on the way the draft plays out but like you could see him going ahead of you know a

30:41Justin Jefferson maybe or a falling CD Lamb or something like that, but more so ahead of these other running backs that

30:47have already kind of proven that they can really play at a very high level and are also in good situations. And I I

30:55like Hampton. I want to be more in on Hampton, but I think he's more of like a midc round play and he's at an early

31:03second round price. Um I I do think though there is a p like if McDaniel wanted to make Hampton a star,

31:12I think he could.

31:13>> Oh yeah. So that's where I just I I refuse to just fully fade him because I could see us flipping the cards over and

31:21it's like McDaniel's like, "Yeah, I mean Keaton Mitchell's cool." But obviously the plan all along was for Amar and Hampton to nuke and he nukes.

31:28>> Yeah. I've I've it is hard to take Hampton over guys like Saquon Barkley.

31:34>> Yeah.

31:34>> And Kenneth Walker.

31:36>> Even Kenneth Walker now I I really do prefer to Hampton. Yeah. Wasn't I wasn't quite there when when drafts opened. And

31:42then e even other positions like AJ Brown like that's that's a tough one.

31:46Brock Bowers is kind of a tough one.

31:49>> Neighbors now.

31:50>> Yeah. So, but but when I am like in the middle of the board or kind of later in the second round and Hampton falls back

31:59to me, I'm like, "Oh man, I I love this." Right? Getting getting like CMC and Hampton or like I think I got like a

32:05Bejon and a Hampton team. I was like, "This this feels pretty good." So for for Hampton to me, he he's he's a running back who

32:17is like not great at creating things for himself like right around the line of scrimmage like like you see a lot of

32:26those backs who are at the one-two turn that can do that kind of stuff. But Mike McDaniel is so good at the run game and

32:37putting these guys in the optimal positions and this team has two really good tackles. So like either way that they that they run the ball, they're

32:45going to be in a pretty good spot.

32:47They're going to run some heavier personnel. They he put up the one in posters for Alec Ingold and they've got Yeah. Uh you know the the we've seen a

32:55lot of like 12 and 13 personnel in the in the preseason. So on on on these if if McDaniel is able to

33:04get him going with a head of steam, which I think is when Omari Hampton really pops, right? Like that's that's the ideal situation for him is to like

33:14get just get him going kind of like we saw with the Bears last year and manuy of get this offensive line to move

33:22people like three yards downfield initially like right like when the ball is snapped just like pushing these guys down the field and let let him get like

33:31three yards of getting getting kind of the acceleration up to speed and and and get this train really moving. That's when Omari and Hampton to me is the most

33:41dangerous. Like he it takes a little while longer to get to that to that top speed, but then it's just like a a

33:48runaway train at that point. And I think McDaniel could be really good at that.

33:52>> Zeke was a close comp for him for me.

33:55And I think it's like he with with Hampton when you look at his college stuff, he was a great tackle breaker. Uh

34:04but I think you're right about kind of the way that that works at the NFL. It's like let you got to get him up to speed.

34:10Then he can you he can bounce off guys.

34:13He can, you know, he can use power. He's got some moves. He can actually break some tackles. But >> not it's not like he's amazing even when

34:23the plays a mess. Not Barry Sanders, you know, like he's making dudes miss in the back field and then ripping off long

34:29plays. Like you do want to get him up to speed like you're saying. Um, and then, you know, in addition to being a good

34:35tackle breaker, really good, he was, uh, you know, he's decent as a breakaway runner, he's a decent receiver. So, he has some, the thing that I like about

34:45Hampton is he profiles because he was a college workhorse, you know, and college workhorse, good tackle breaker or great tackle breaker and then solid in a

34:57number of other ways.

34:59that looks like the type of guy, especially one drafted in the first round, that can just be like a true three down guy at the NFL level. Um, but

35:10is he right? Is he, you know, what's the plan? Is the plan for him to be a three- down guy or is the plan for them to use

35:17Keaton Mitchell in a pretty sizable role? And I I don't know. Like I I I don't know.

35:25And I don't like that. I don't know when I'm spending, you know, the 202 on a guy like is like because if he's not, you

35:33know, he could be outscored by like Javvante Williams, you know, there's there's like you kind of you're that's a that's a much worse team. Like if you're

35:43losing a 2v2 to like Williams in the third and the and they're taking a receiver, you know, in the second, you

35:51know, like I I just it it makes me nervous is is really what I'm saying.

35:56So, it's just I want a little bit more of a discount on it even though I do see the upside. And I do I think the player

36:01from the player level, he's a second year player. He was a pretty good runner last year. Receiving stuff wasn't quite there, but that could take a leap

36:08forward to like being at least solid.

36:10Um, you've got a really high-scoring offense, good offensive coordinator.

36:14Offensive line should be a lot better.

36:16>> It's just like he checks a lot of boxes, but there is this uncertainty for the price that that's concerned.

36:22>> Yeah. And he's going to have the goal line stuff on lock. McDaniel likes to run >> near the goal line. We've talked about

36:28that. And the fact that they don't have like this dominant Devonte Adams type red zone receiving threat to just like, hey, we're at the two yard line. Let's

36:38let's run our our play that we run down here with with this guy. Um, so he he is a guy who I could see lead leading the

36:46NFL in rushing touchdowns this year. How many touches per game for Keat Mitchell would be like too much

36:55for you? Like can can Hampton pay off a kind of midsec or early second ADP with like six to nine touches per game?

37:04>> No, I don't think not nine. I think I was gonna say eight. Eight would be the line where I'd be like [ __ ]

37:11you know?

37:12>> Because if you're looking at eight touches, those some they're not all runs. He's not running the ball eight times.

37:22So, you're looking at a couple receptions there, maybe, you know, yeah, probably like two receptions, six carries, something like that.

37:30That that really thins Hampton's path.

37:34the the e, you know, one of the easiest paths to legendary upside is being able to catch a bunch of balls.

37:41And if he's he had like 36 or something like that receptions um per game last year, so he's kind of close, right? Like

37:49he gets to four plus receptions per game. You add on good touchdown scoring, good rushing efficiency, you can have a truly league winning season. And for

37:59him, like if he has 21 points per game in PPR in the back half or in the early part of the second round, that'll be

38:07awesome. Like that's not you're not like, well, he didn't quite hit the legendary mark Pat laid out at 23 points. No, it's f it'll be fine. Like

38:14he'll have like a 40% advance rate if he can get there. Like he will nuke. So, uh, but that gets a lot harder if

38:22Keaton's siphoning off a couple receptions per game. That's my worry with the Katon stuff is that it's a little bit like, yeah, fine, his snap

38:29rate won't be super high, but he's going to be out there in certain packages and certain play designs. Maybe there's some

38:36screens where Katon Mitchell comes on the field, you know, and they're kind of like specifically looking to get the ball in his hands in a way that like,

38:42damn, that's a missed opportunity for Hampton. That was a fun play. He just ran 15 yards down the sideline and they

38:49hit him, you know, for like an actual deep target. Like, that could have been Hampton. We're we're getting Davis uh quote tweeting, "Do not draft Katon

38:58Mitchell."

39:03>> Yeah.

39:04>> Of things. Yeah.

39:05>> Yes. So, it's it's uh I I think if he if he gets like four to six, then I think you're good. Seven maybe, I'd be like

39:15could go either way.

39:16>> But yeah, eight plus touches for Keaton Mitchell, I think, is going to hurt.

39:20>> Yeah. I I I don't think we have to worry about Kamani Videl siphoning much work. You know, the the the whole

39:30kind of like blowing out of proportion, contextless, use all three guys, like that's not that's not really going to be a thing. Like he

39:39>> I'm not buying that part.

39:40>> Yeah. He he was saying like it's all relative. like that that like he he followed that quote up from from a

39:48couple weeks ago by like saying like it's it's all it's all a relative ratio.

39:54Yeah.

39:55Um yeah, I uh I agree. I I don't think Vidal is he's not going to be a factor unless there's an injury, I don't think.

40:07Uh, but yeah. What are you How much Hampton do you have and how much are you looking to take for the rest of the

40:13draft?

40:14>> I don't have a lot. I think I have like four or five%.

40:19>> Yeah, I'm similar.

40:21>> It's again, it's just really really tough, man. For >> I'm at 5%.

40:27>> Yeah. [clears throat] >> Yeah. Like I I'm I'm I I have Chase Brown ranked ahead of him, but I'm fine

40:34taking him ahead of Chase Brown. Uh but Chase Brown is another guy who I have like 4% of. I'm just taking so much

40:43>> like anytime Saquon or Kenneth Walker there, like I'm just kind of always taking them. And then a lot of the times

40:49like if it's if it's between one of those other running backs or AJ Brown or Brock Bowers, I'm just like I mean this

40:56Patriots offense is going to absolutely cook this year. Brock Bowers like might be offensive player of the year and and break all kinds of tight end uh

41:06receiving records.

41:08>> Totally. [clears throat] No. Yeah, that's that's we see it very similarly.

41:14Uh um all right, let's talk about Ashen Genty and Mike Washington. Another >> uh we've got a we've got a even one more

41:24after this running back. Uh are these guys bellcow bellcow watch uh all right so August 28th Clint Kubak

41:37the Raiders head coach was asked how he envisions the backfield of Ashton Genty and Mike Washington. Kubak said, "I think that they're both going to uh that

41:48they're both going to prepare to play a lot of football. As these games unfold, you react to the game. I think we've got

41:54two guys that we're really excited about. We've got some younger guys that we're we're really excited about, too.

42:00All of our backs are going to play this year. Offense, defense, and special teams. I don't know what he's talking about with defense.

42:07Dylan defense mean >> they're going to put Dylan Lowi at corner. Like, what the [ __ ] are you talking about, bro? Uh, not making any

42:16promises on percentages of play time.

42:18When you get to a game, sometimes the guy you think is going to have five carries has 20. Sometimes the guy you

42:24think is going to be just a scat protection back is in there blocking six-man protection for 20 reps. So, we got to get ready for them to play in all

42:34phases. Some some real weird quotes in there. [laughter] >> All phases. He kind of he kind of went well there.

42:42>> Yeah. I don't know if he was like in a in a khole or what what was going on.

42:47These are these are things that you see someone in in a YouTube video who who like they just took salvia. These are

42:54the types of things that those people >> Yeah. No, it is kind of YouTube like if I just don't stop talking then you know

43:02this this can't be a disaster kind of thing.

43:06>> Yeah. is it's like he's giving uh a presentation uh at school, but he like didn't read the book. He didn't prepare.

43:14>> He is. Right. Right. He's uh the teleprompter went down [laughter] >> and he's just winging it.

43:24Yeah. We'll have we'll have our running backs play defense. We'll have our our defensive tackles play quarterback. Like

43:35>> I will say this, >> I could see now, you know, this is he's run well in the preseason. He's looked

43:41better than I thought he would for sure.

43:43He looks pretty good. But I'm just saying if anyone was going to pull a reverse Tyler Algier, it might be Mike

43:50Washington. I bet you he could play linebacker. Yeah, maybe.

43:56May [laughter] maybe we'll be coming back to this quote in like three weeks from now.

44:01>> [laughter] >> Dylan Lowby at corner. I'm I'm more skeptical of >> guys IDP leagues Mike Washington should be going at the four five turn.

44:12>> I mean clearly this is this is very bullish. you have to say >> this uh I will say the the one kind of

44:19thing that stands out from this quote is as these games unfold you react to the game which is like kind of a it it's

44:30like the cousin of hot hand >> it is a little cousin of hot hand it's it's situation >> yeah it's saying I like to play

44:40well it's it's sort of a mix because I think you can also read as we've got our Dylan Lowby kind of pass protector guy

44:47and now he's out there more than I thought because we're down by 20 points or whatever. Or Mike Washington's rolling and I thought he'd have six

44:54carries but he ends up with 13. Of course, he would probably say I thought he'd have 20 carries, he's end up with

45:0136. But you know [laughter] this is Liam Cohen last off season saying Brian Thomas Jr. 10 targets a game. Tank Bigsby 20 carries per game.

45:12Uh Travisen 20 targets per game.

45:15>> Exactly. There's there's a lot of inflation's out of control now. It's hitting touch projections from NFL coaches. Um but yeah, I think uh

45:26largely it's I mean it also has a hot hand element where it's like I'm going to kind of adjust to the situation. I

45:32expect that assuming he's you know 100% in the near future that situation is going to be Genty is a lot better than

45:40Dylan Lousy.

45:41>> Yeah. uh at everything including pass protection and also he's better than Mike Washington too. I'm still skeptical of Washington. Washington was not a good

45:49college back at all. He was really really athletic at the combine and I think in kind of preseason like you're more likely to see if a guy

45:58isn't a freak athlete you're more likely to see that in the preseason I think. I mean >> anyone remember Amamir Abdullah in the

46:05preseason you know.

46:07>> Oh yeah. like he he looked like the like I >> Johnson.

46:11>> Yeah. I don't think anyone's ever looked better in an NFL game than Amir Abdullah in the preseason. You know that first

46:16that first >> he should be in the hall for just that.

46:20But it's like >> a preseason hall of fame.

46:23>> They should have a preseason hall of fame.

46:25>> Dude, somebody somebody build one. Build it and they will come.

46:29>> You know who would make it that actually has been good is is Reandre.

46:33>> Oh, was it was he a big preseason? He had that run that that rookie year, his rookie year, he he had an awesome

46:40breakaway run and then, you know, he he's like one of the few guys who's actually flashed in preseason and it was

46:45real.

46:47>> Uh, also, I don't I don't know if you remember this quote, by the way, from Clint Kubak on May 20th. They asked him

46:54about Gent's workload and he said, quote, I've said it before, I think it's important to have a quality second back, but the best players got to play and we

47:05got to get them on the field as much as we can. I don't know the play snap percentage, but you look at Christian

47:10McCaffrey, his play snap percentage is high, so those great backs, they don't want to come off the field." End quote.

47:19>> Yeah.

47:20The talent gap between those two is massive.

47:24>> Yeah. And I think I mean it really is.

47:26The the other thing is that when I think through the Hampton stuff and the Genty stuff, obviously the situation for Hampton is better and has the potential

47:37to be a lot better if he gets the work.

47:40But when I think through the talent, I know they're both first round picks, but Genty I have up there with Bejon, you

47:47know, is one of the best running back prospects we've seen in, you know, kind of the modern fantasy era.

47:53That when you're when you're trying to think through guys who can absolutely crush, the talent at running back is is underrated. You know, when who are the

48:04guys who like and you see this, right?

48:06You know, it's like Gibbs, Bejan. Was Bejon's situation so good? No, it's Bejian is the situation. That's the situation, [laughter] right? McCaffrey

48:17McCaffrey was nuking in on bad Panthers teams. You know, these guys who are different than the other players at the position. That is really the clearest

48:28way to find the legendary type of running back campaigns. And you know, Genty might not be one of those guys, but I think there's a much stronger

48:38chance that he is than than with Hampton. So, as he's fallen now to the mid to late second round and the health

48:45doesn't look like it's going to be a huge impact this season, he's another guy where if you if you just offer me

48:50Hampton or Genty straight up, I think I'm taking Genty. Or at the very least, I'm happy that you took Hampton 202 and

48:57I got H Genty 207.

49:00>> Yes. Yeah. And and if I'm in a reddraft league and I do not have Ashton Genty, uh I'm I'm targeting him after like week

49:08one or week two because I think we see him early early in the season like very positively week one, but we get

49:16>> like not a full workload for him because they're kind of just like working him back in >> from this uh from this ankle injury. But

49:24but you know combined with this the recent quote on the backfield and Mike Washington how he looked in the preseason that the Ashton Genty owner

49:35might think like oh boy I'm in trouble for this entire season because this is how it's going to be all year

49:41>> and then just kind of scoop him up.

49:45>> I like that a lot. I I could see him being a slow starter obviously with the the ankle. Um, and then yeah, if if

49:53Washington's flashing and then it's like it is a thinner path like you need Genty to be the dude because it's the Raiders,

50:00you know, it's not going to be some awesome team like it's kind of binary with Genty where I think he needs to be

50:06awesome and then he needs to be used as a big- time receiver. Uh, and if he is like I think he has a very good chance

50:14of being really really good um and taking a step forward in a second season and then if they utilize him more like a

50:22McAffrey. I was also looking at Kubak right. Kubak was in San Francisco in 2023 uh with McCaffrey >> uh you know he's the OC there. So like

50:33he understands how to use a Christian McAffrey. He did it very successfully in 2023. 2024 he's with Chimera. You know, you're kind

50:44of getting the last gasp of the Chimera production there. Um and then, you know, last year Kenneth Walker had a career-high in yards per route run. So,

50:52while he's not a true receiving back, he was used very effectively in the receiving game. So yeah, I mean it's it's

50:59the path to Genty like to Kubiaak seeing Genty as a true threeown guy who's going to be a like a receiving weapon and then

51:08like their receivers suck, dude. Like they're so bad. So they have Bowowers.

51:13Mayor is probably the second best like well I guess Tucker, it's rude to Tucker. Tucker can do some stuff but like Mayer is probably the the wide

51:20receiver three if you consider Bowowers the wide receiver one. Um, so Genti is like, you know, he could finish, you know, third in target share like real

51:31real easily and has a potential to be second.

51:34>> Yeah.

51:34>> Depending on how much they run it through him.

51:36>> Yeah. And the and the Raiders last year kind of made it a point of like this guy's really good in in the pass game.

51:44Like let's get him involved. Let's get him out on the perimeter in in the pass game to where like we can throw him the

51:51ball and he only has to make one guy miss and then we get a really big explosive play out of it. Um by by the

51:58way, talking about the the receiver room, uh that interception that Fernando Mendoza threw in that preseason game the other night, Clint Kubak blamed that on

52:09Jaylen Naylor, like saying that Jaylen Naylor has to catch that ball. H that's interesting. Um yeah, I thought I thought Mendoza looked

52:20pretty good just as like from the macro like, "Hey, here's a guy. Is this guy a quarterback?" I was like, "He looks like

52:27a quarterback to me."

52:28>> Yeah.

52:28>> You know, um I don't give a [ __ ] if he throws some interceptions. Doesn't Doesn't bother me. Just just get the

52:34ball to Genty and Bowers, brother.

52:36>> C Kubak said that like this that throw like that's what we want to see. um saying that uh

52:47like kind of kind of like put putting it in those windows like we want him to rip >> those passes like we want him to be

52:54aggressive there.

52:56>> I love it. Uh Bree Hall another potential bellcow and we're g like we've been parsing what what does Frank Reich

53:05mean when he says Bree Hall and Garrett Wilson are bellcows? Can you give me your thoughts on that? [laughter] Well, it's it's even it's even more

53:15bullish because he was asked about Omar Cooper Jr. and Isaiah Williams. They they asked him about the the ability for those two to do a lot of things for the

53:24offense.

53:25>> Reich says, "We we've got more than 11 starters, so we're going to play them all and want to play them all and mix it

53:31up." That just brings good energy.

53:33Everybody's in it. Obviously, we've got our bellcows. Bree Hall is the bellcow.

53:38Garrett Wilson is the bellcow. So, we'll do what we got to do there. But, we've got good talent. And this comes kind of

53:46on the heels of him just a couple weeks prior. I think we might have talked about it on on this show on um this

53:54August 11th interview with Team Media where he was asked if he sees any sim similarities between Bruce Hall and Jonathan Taylor's game, being different

54:02players, but also being bellcows. And Reich said he's definitely a bellcow.

54:06It's only been a short time, but I can tell he has elite football IQ. talks about um how uh like coaches will sometimes say that

54:16oh this running back is is like a receiver, you know, that you put him in the slot, >> that kind of stuff. But like he is legit

54:24running around like he's an actual receiver, which is very unusual for a running back. And we and we've seen that on display like we we we saw that last

54:32year.

54:33>> He's an awesome receiver.

54:34>> He's a Yeah, he's he's he's great. So like >> he got there with like >> Aaron Rogers tours Achilles and Bree

54:41Hall still had an awesome season, you know, a couple years ago because he was great as a receiver. Zach Wilson was his

54:46quarterback for much of the year. Like he was still really good because he's a really good receiver.

54:52>> Yeah. So like why why would you not have this guy be on the field for you a ton?

54:58>> Good offensive line as well. I think this will be like >> Yeah, that's true.

55:01>> A pretty good >> underrated. Yeah, I I I I think this offense will be better than a lot of people expect. They've got good pieces

55:09at uh you know, obviously Garrett Wilson. Uh but I think AD Mitchell is a good wide receiver, too. Um and uh and

55:18and they're big on him. And then I mean Bree Hall just a really really good running back. And I every time I see him in the fourth

55:27round, it's it's it's an auto click for me. I I I don't really understand why he is available uh that late, you know, in

55:35the fourth round. Um it just Yeah, it's kind of confusing to me. Um but he kind of consistently is.

55:45>> Yeah.

55:45>> So like [laughter] >> I'm I'm I'm constantly having to make these decisions of like, well, it'd be nice to have a a T. Higgins share here

55:56or a Tedaro McMillan or like you know Garrett Wilson but man Bree Hall in the fourth that's >> I know

56:05>> that's just nice stuff.

56:08>> Um and then all right so let's talk the last one here and then I'll jump into drafts right now as we as we get uh the

56:16last coach speak that you'd you you did flag the KD thing for anyone who hasn't seen the KD thing. does look like

56:23total nothing. Shanahan said he took a step back, but it I think he meant back towards playing.

56:28>> Back towards playing. They had just taken him off pup. Yeah.

56:31>> Yeah. Yeah. Um but the the the last real one was uh Deco Ryan's on on Kahan Booty and Jaylen Null

56:39>> and I'm going to jump into DraftKings >> uh baseball millionaire if anyone wants to join us there. August 26th, Demo Ryan

56:47was asked why the Texans wanted to trade for Kahan Booty and what is Ryan's hoping Booty can bring. And Ryan said

56:55that adding him was a big get for us. We lost a significant player in Jaden Higgins. Hard to replace him. You try to

57:01go out and find a guy with the caliber of Kahan. We've played against Kahan multiple times over the past couple years. He's continued to make plays time

57:10and time again. He's showed up. He's a young player, still an ascending player with a lot to improve upon, a lot to

57:16grow. So, I'm excited to work with a young player who still has a very bright and promising future, and he has that

57:22big playmaking ability already. Um, and also said that he is one of the better contested catch players that I've seen.

57:30If the ball is close, he has a knack for going up, playing physical, coming down with the football. That's what intrigued

57:36me when I continue to watch his tape from last year and previous years. Um, and he was also asked what element

57:43Jaylen Null brings to the uh adds to the offense that is useful and kind of makes the offense almost look different when

57:51he's out there. Weird kind of framing for that question.

57:57>> [laughter] >> Ryan's uh said Jaylen does a great job playing the F position, moving around a lot in the slot, giving us the option to

58:06move guys around and make defenses have to communicate, and he's done a great job of punt returning. Last year was his

58:13first time doing it for us. He got better and grew as the year went along.

58:17So, I'm expecting him to pick up pick up where he left off and continue to improve as our punt returner as well.

58:24>> Oh my god.

58:26Well, it's over. It's never been more over.

58:28>> It's a wrap. [laughter] I like it says that they're moving him around in the F position.

58:35>> Yeah, it's sort of like >> just one position.

58:38>> I know, but I think I almost took that to mean like he [snorts] coming in as the slot allows someone who

58:44was playing ahead of him in the slot to move outside kind of thing. Mhm.

58:49>> Um, which I don't think that might be like him just saying a thing he would have said when Higgins was healthy cuz

58:57Higgins was playing some in the slot and I don't think we'll have booty much in the slot. So, >> but yeah, it that that sounds pretty

59:02pretty bad. [laughter] >> I do I do think they're going to be forced to play him some for as long as

59:07Tank Dell is not available, which is, you know, going to be at least four weeks and whatever they get from Dell

59:13looks like a bonus at this point. So, >> they just don't have the receiver depth.

59:17Yeah, they they do seem pretty intent on wanting want wanting to run a lot of heavy personnel >> this year. And like Marlon Klene is

59:26looking like a tight end who might be playable for them um kind of kind of earlier on in the season. Loo looked

59:33pretty good in the in the preseason as far as like um his pass catching ability obviously, but also a guy that they can

59:41just kind of trust to be out there on the field.

59:44>> Yep. Yeah. So, the bad news with this draft is we are uh in the 12 hole and Mac Nova's next to us who uh you know

59:53won a million dollars on DraftKings last year and is also a sidekick sub. So, >> [laughter] >> uh we're gonna have a tough time getting

60:01>> He's got us pinned.

60:02>> He's got us pinned, dude. We're gonna Yeah, we'll see. We'll see if we end up having to having to say uncle or if we

60:09we'll get out of the chokeold here.

60:12Well, we'll we'll we'll also be taking his top two sidekick.

60:17>> That's right. Magnova is [clears throat] gonna as long as there's more than one good pick. Ideally, there's three good picks every turn and we get two of them.

60:26And Mac Nova only gets one. [laughter] >> Hey, what about that? You're really gonna wish you were in a different spot

60:33of the draft then, buddy. [laughter] >> Good morning, GM. GM. All right, here we go.

60:47We we'll we'll see who he uh IKBS off of.

60:54Yeah. Well, it's tricky. The the this is a you almost want to like follow the sidekick more, you know, sense because

61:01you know that at the turn we're kind of looking at probably similar types of dudes. Uh now, although hopefully we have wildly different Sims, I would say

61:11Barkley, Achan, Walker, all these guys.

61:14>> Yeah, second one for me here.

61:15>> All right.

61:17>> And it's probably Walker for me.

61:19>> I'm good with Walker. Uh I've been trying to get more Walker. Oh, and the Sims prefer Walker as well.

61:26>> I'm sorry.

61:27>> Connected.

61:29>> Sims, dude.

61:30>> I'm plugged in.

61:31>> That happened to me, me and Pete today.

61:33We did um we did a three wide receiver start and it was JSN, Neighbors,

61:42and Rashi. That's that's the the three receiver start. And then Scaboo was top

61:49top guy kind of chugging along. And uh right as we're about to go on the clock, you know, two seconds left on the I was

61:59like, you know, Pete, I'm like I'm I'm going to pitch that we IB to Tedro McMillan here because 4X wide receiver

62:06starts so fun. Haven't done a ton of those this summer on stream with Pete and uh Scataboo does not get taken. McMillan

62:15does not get taken. T-Mac flips them right there. Yeah, it's it's delightful.

62:20It's delightful when you're like, >> I don't know, man. I'm kind of thinking T-Mac here. And then he then he flips

62:25up. It's really nice.

62:27>> I love it when the sidekick confirms my priors.

62:30>> It really is nice. [laughter] >> I need a sidekick for like more facets of life.

62:37>> Well, it it's like the sidekick is not uh an LLM, you know? It's uh [laughter] I think it'll it would outperform that.

62:45But uh at the same time, we are still humans and having the sidekick confirm your priors much like uh you know, you

62:52can just fire up Claude right now. It'll tell you you're awesome. Uh [laughter] it does feel good.

63:05>> Have you been watching these Dejon Love videos? Mm-m.

63:13>> So many of them.

63:15Pretty pretty wild story.

63:17>> What? What? What is >> this? This is the fake ners player.

63:22>> Oh. Oh, yeah. Okay.

63:24>> No, cuz I I was on I mostly saw like everything I've seen has been the same, you know, the same joke where it's like,

63:31you know, Keon Coleman convince the bill, you know, he's he's a fake player, you know, like that kind of thing, like

63:36let's make fun of a bust. So, I actually don't know many details of what actually happened because uh also a lot of things

63:44happened this weekend that drew my attention. [laughter] >> So, yeah, please please catch me up. There's just an unbelievable amount of videos

63:55that keep coming. Like this guy was probably recording like eight hours of videos per day and just like sending to women or like posting online or or

64:05whatever. And like obviously this guy is lying cuz he's he's he's never played in the NFL or whatever, but like the the

64:13way he has become so convinced of his of this lie and just like kind of perpetrating this stuff. He's like, "Yeah, I'm uh

64:25I'm on my uh there's one where he's talking about his jersey number and how like the the kicker has his number, but

64:34like they're working something out.

64:36>> They're going to work out a deal.

64:37>> They're working out a deal.

64:39>> Yeah, >> that's a good lie.

64:41>> Yeah. He's always talking about all the different houses that he has. This guy has houses.

64:47>> But what was the what what happened?

64:50This guy just just back up like I literally I >> somehow he was scamming money from the 49ers or something. What what was it?

64:58>> No, no, he he was uh scamming >> from the 49ers. Scamming relationship.

65:03Okay. Posing as a 49er.

65:05>> Yeah. And uh had had a lot of videos up on his Insta or whatever. Like there's >> he was like pushing the masses.

65:14>> Yes.

65:15>> Okay.

65:15>> Yeah. Okay. I get it. All right.

65:17>> Yeah. So like all these women now are releasing these videos that he sent them. A lot of them are just like him in

65:25the car like explaining these things.

65:27Like one girl is like my uncle is a coach in the NFL and he said that you you are not on any roster. Why is that?

65:36And he's trying to explain like how waiverss work and and like practice squad and all this stuff.

65:44No, pretending you're on a practice squad is actually kind of genius.

65:47>> It is. Yeah, >> because no one like I can't I don't know if you were like Pat like you have to

65:52get me the Saints practice squad today.

65:54I'd be like [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] I'd be like so can you get me underhill?

65:59I need [laughter] like how do I But this guy like always has a Niners helmet like conspicuously in in a video. like if he's just at a hotel

66:10room or something like it'll be on the desk like no one's keeping their their helmet with them and on a desk

66:19>> now I think we have multiple good picks here >> so many good picks >> this is I assumed we were getting sniped

66:24on flowers which is just our our lot in life in this in this draft but >> hall we talked about waddle here

66:32>> very happy with >> and then I mean what does the sidekick give us for Christmas here >> I think it might be priest

66:39Oh, it's Higgins.

66:40>> Oh, wow. This is >> I'm good with both guys. I mean, both.

66:43>> This is so close for me.

66:46>> What's What's your percentage? Are you pretty even on on percentage?

66:49>> I'm pretty even.

66:51Um, >> I think we go T.

66:56>> Okay, let's go T.

66:59>> Bree is Bree is gone. You know, he's got the Q tag. I think it's probably better to get the T waddle combo here. And then

67:06unfortunately we leave Breeze for Mac Nova who snaps him up immediately.

67:10>> God.

67:10>> Yeah, this is it's really bad when there's four good picks, you know.

67:16>> You want the And and >> I don't want Mac to have any good picks.

67:21>> Well, I want him to have one good pick because he got one of the three.

67:25>> No, I want >> zero good picks. If he doesn't get any good picks, that means we didn't get any good picks. [laughter]

67:30>> Yeah, right. Right. Right.

67:33I just meant I wanted IKB >> off the sidekick.

67:38>> Well, we're good picks of the turn.

67:39>> Wow.

67:40>> Yeah, Magnova's he's in a more, you know, magnanimous mood because >> he he knows he gets first pick of, >> you know, so if he leaves us Yeah.

67:50really the only situation that's bad for him is three good picks, but he still gets one good pick there. So this I

67:57guess zero good picks is is also bad for him, but >> that'd be bad.

68:00>> You're in a better situation. You got us boxed in spite draft preview. Yeah. The uh >> Oh, that's a great idea, by the way,

68:08>> people. Yeah. So, this is happening. So, just a quick plug here because, frankly, I think if you're watching this, you'll

68:14probably enjoy watching uh 2:00 p.m.

68:17Eastern on uh ship the ship chasing channel on [clears throat] Wednesday.

68:24myself, Peter Overzette, Davis Madak, Jacob Sanderson, we are all drafting a main event separately. We all we we all

68:35jumped in and we're competing against each other in a main event with the explicit reason of we're sick of the other people not letting us get the

68:46players that we want on our teams and we're going to be drafting them on that team and proving that we were right and

68:53they were wrong every time they refused to let us get the players we wanted.

68:57It's a pure spite draft. If you want to draft against us, uh there's still some spots open. Uh and if you want to watch

69:04it, it's uh 2 pm Eastern on the Ship Chasing channel. I think it's going to be I I'm looking forward to it so much.

69:10It could be the best stream of the year for us.

69:12>> What What if one of y'all wins it all?

69:15>> Uh then we then we solo ship it, you know. That's not I mean, the point is we're saying you should have been

69:22drafting these guys, you know.

69:24>> Yeah. Are you >> I guess we can work out some kind of equity split later, but but maybe not.

69:29Are you guys doing a uh another coach draft this year?

69:34>> We did, you know, we didn't do that.

69:35That is very much a >> idea. I know we need to do I did think about because there there's not quite

69:44enough coach turnover.

69:46>> Um I did think like maybe we'd want to do like a GM draft, but there's probably not enough knowledge of the GMs, you

69:53know, where we could talk >> coordinators as well.

69:56>> Coordinators would be good. Um, but I think the the thing that was beautiful about the coach draft is the people like

70:03just there's enough general knowledge of who these coaches are, what they look like, and so you had like really strong opinions. For people who don't know, we

70:12c we last like March or >> no, maybe it was maybe it was later. It might have been June. Last June, we did

70:18a draft where um we had to draft NFL coaches to play football for us and they had to play two ways. So you each got

70:2811. We we included Gadell. So you got uh with Gadell, [laughter] you have 33 players, me, Davis, and Pete drafted teams and you have to draft uh the guys

70:39to play both ways. Um this year we didn't do it, but I think we'll I'm going to push to do it next year where

70:47you have a little bit more turnover in the coaching ranks I think would help uh compared to two years ago because I

70:52didn't want it to be the exact same draft, you know.

70:56All right. So, we got Mike Evans here, Lamar Jackson here, Jadarian Price, Christian Watson, Carninal Tate, Triion Henderson, Tyler Warren.

71:05All of those look like pretty good five turn five, six turn picks to me. I think we're >> it's it's another situation where Mac

71:14Nova and us are all eating.

71:16>> We're both just we're we're just eating.

71:17We're all eating here. I I would say we've all eaten for for two turns here now.

71:24He's got he's going to take Lamar, you would assume, because he's got flowers.

71:29>> He might think that we won't take Lamar.

71:31>> Well, you know, he's he's got a little helpful screen [laughter] here going showing showing what we might be thinking about doing.

71:40>> He takes Lamar.

71:41>> I'm I'm top two guys here.

71:42>> Yeah, I I think we go Jaren Price for sure.

71:45>> Uh third running back and then Watson I'm totally good with and I assume will remain top guy. He certainly does. Boom.

71:53All right, Magna.

71:54>> Enjoy your Cardell Tate, Magnova >> or Hendo, depending.

72:04>> It might be Hendo with with only one running back.

72:07>> Yeah, it might be Hendo.

72:09>> I've been doing a lot of Marvin Harrison Jr. over Tate.

72:12>> It's Hendo.

72:14>> All right.

72:14>> Sims are my brain, bro. I don't know if he could have tak uh if that wasn't Top Guy.

72:23Gibbs Genty. Yeah, Gibbs Genty is pretty damn good.

72:28>> Mac has some good picks here. Hey, eyes on our team. Okay, [laughter] >> our team is up here.

72:38>> How we feeling about Jarian Price?

72:40>> Pretty good.

72:42>> Yeah, especially the 56 turn. We've we talked earlier in the uh in the offseason about Jadarian Price being one of the rare rookie chaperones.

72:52>> Mhm.

72:53>> I think when Zack Sharp returns, it's going to get a little messy during the during the fantasy playoffs, which is not ideal.

73:04What I'd say on the chaperone thing is I'm a little skeptical of kind of any rookie being like a true chaperone,

73:14meaning, you know, they're going to be a big-time producer early on because they are still rookies and so there might be

73:20certain things they're still kind of working out the kinks on and, you know, we could see like more Helani than we'd

73:26like to. It could be like I I would not be surprised if if we end up being disappointed in Jarian Price's early

73:33season production. Um but there will be some and you will definitely get a look at him as will the Seahawks. And that's

73:42where I think like to me the early season playing time run out for Price.

73:48It's it's bullish for the late season too >> because it means that they're going to know what they have. He's gonna have

73:55like some dumb mistakes he makes in week three. He's gonna play a bunch in week four. You know, >> it's not going to lead to if they have a

74:05Charbanet and they're like, "Hey, uh, the rook's really not ready yet. Let's uh, you know, rather than have him play through mistakes, we can we can just

74:13play Zack Charbanet a little bit more.

74:15You know, this is we we literally just won the Super Bowl. We're trying to repeat like we can we can let this guy

74:21get his uh you know get up to speed on whatever schedule he needs, right?

74:25That's that's the healthy Charbanet version, but Charban's on pups, so uh they're going to be forced to play him maybe more than they'd want to, which is

74:36good. Get this guy reps, get him, you know, like experience. Get him experience. And so I think by the time Charbanet gets back, he Price is way

74:46more likely than, you know, he he might have been without with, you know, with with Charbanet playing all the beginning of the season to to have actually gotten

74:54better to have like, you know, got he has the system down a little bit more.

74:59He's he's feel he's he's playing fast, you know, all that stuff.

75:04>> Yeah. M Mike Mike McDonald just has such a such an intense love for Zack Sharpet as a as a person and a

75:13player that I think when he returns he like pretty quickly comes back to kind of a 50-50 role.

75:23I could see that for sure. Yeah.

75:27All right. This is one of those ones that I think is going to be pretty frustrating for us, but we'll see.

75:33Uh because we got we got Barkley here.

75:38Magnova's got Jackson.

75:40>> He's got Lamar.

75:41>> He's got Lamar. So he probably doesn't need Herz and definitely won't take.

75:43>> Probably needs another running back.

75:44>> Probably needs another Ro. I hope he doesn't d a bowling ball full of butcher knives.

75:51>> Pro basically the starter. Yeah, baby.

76:00>> [laughter] >> Jay L.

76:07>> What pick was that? [laughter] 84.

76:09>> That was my That was my version of the value hound.

76:11>> Yeah.

76:12>> Uh Leaporta Fa.

76:15>> Yeah, >> let's do it.

76:19>> I'm I'm I'm surprised Leaporta is still >> dropping this far with him being >> I know it has week one. Interesting.

76:29Uh, wow.

76:34So, he's late for Brian Thomas, by the way. Brian Thomas at the 78.

76:37>> Should have taken Leaporta first and and said, uh, >> Oh, yeah.

76:41>> Yeah. Screenshot equity. Eighth round, Jaylen Herz.

76:48>> Cororum. All right. So, we've got Magnova.

76:51>> He has a lamb. Bowowers flowers. Then Hall Jackson, Henderson, Dowel, and Cororum. Uh we've got Barkley, Kenneth Walker, Wadd Higgins, Judarian Price,

77:02Christian Watson, Jaylen Herz with Barkley, which is really fun without a reach. I mean, there's not going to be a lot of those in this tournament.

77:10>> And then Sam Leaporta.

77:12>> My god, >> we we [clears throat] are both doing doing good work here.

77:16>> Yeah, >> I'm very pleased that Magnova did not I was just fully expecting her to get sniped there, even with Jackson. That's

77:21such a huge ADP fall.

77:24>> Thank you, Magnovo.

77:26>> Yep.

77:29>> I I >> I think we're going to love what happens in the next turn. Looking at the sidekick and his team.

77:34>> Oh, I beat off Leaporta. I was just imagining him being >> like such a nice >> interesting >> young gentleman

77:44being like, "These guys, they're going to their hearts are going to be full.

77:49I'll let him have Jaylen Herz just just to see the look on on their faces.

77:56>> Yeah. Well, >> what do you think is the most common one two turn pairing?

78:04>> Most common one two turn >> Barkley Walker has to be up there. I think for a while >> Walker's definitely up there. I think I

78:10think for a while probably Genty and and and Squan >> Barkley Genty would have been my pick had he not gotten hurt

78:21>> that that kind that was like both those guys were so kind of locked in there.

78:25>> Yeah.

78:26>> Um Yeah.

78:35Here we're seeing Josh Jacobs now. Uh, obviously his ADP is kind of fake, but

78:47his, uh, he would be at the the 910, 108, 108, 109, so he's starting to be in the mix. Let me see.

78:57>> Lloyd went at the 703, which I think makes sense. Uh, I took him at the 701 and a 555 yesterday.

79:06um which you know that's a little bit more kind of advanced ready you know that that tournament than this one but

79:13uh thoughts on where you would you would take Jacobs at this point?

79:16>> I just pulled up my rankings. I searched Jacobs. I was like I don't remember putting him at 1,166.

79:23That's a Michael Jacobson tight end free agent. Uh I have Jacobs at 146.

79:30>> Okay. right now. Uh the latest Drew Davenport thread from I believe last night um scared me off quite quite a bit. It's

79:42such an odd situation with like the the the video that I'm guessing like the

79:52NFL has seen like the DA saw that video as well and ended up um leveling like misdemeanor

80:03>> charges. So, he was originally charged with felonies and then they went to misdemeanor and without a qualifier that uh this is based on my recollection of

80:10what I believe Drew Davenport had, but it sounds like there's like a qualifier or a modifier maybe a DV a DV attachment

80:20attachment. Yeah, >> that was not included with this these misdemeanor charges.

80:24>> Yeah, >> that could have been.

80:26>> Right. But one of the misdemeanor charges is battery, I believe.

80:32>> Right.

80:33Right. So, it's a it's a Right. Yeah.

80:36It's it's a sort of a strange situation, but it but he was charged with felonies and now is charged with misdemeanors.

80:42>> Um, but also video is just bad. Like video video is bad and there might be audio with the video, right? So, like right

80:52this could be this could be bad. It doesn't mean it couldn't be bad, you know? Um, it could it could be really

80:59really Yeah. So, it is hard to know. Uh, and the NFL can do whatever they want ultimately.

81:07>> Oh. Oh, >> he said it in chat. Congrats on Lemon.

81:11Let's go.

81:12>> Let's go.

81:14>> Well, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You aren't you aren't worried about that

81:19that one drop in the preseason from a guy who's like >> shown that he has incredible hands?

81:27>> I'm not. Uh, Mahomes, we have Who do we have here?

81:33>> Kub.

81:33>> Oh, Kdub. Oh my god, dude.

81:36>> Are you serious right now?

81:37>> Oh, baby.

81:38>> Is this the best team in the history of >> I don't know. We do have that.

81:42>> I was so nervous about this team. I >> I was like, Magnova is going to box us out and he's

81:47>> helping us. We're drafting behind them like like in like in NASCAR.

81:52>> Yeah, dude.

81:56Wow. Uh, so Rob said, "Sorry for the poor joke. I'll see myself out. I'm sorry." And, uh, given the nature of the

82:04conversation, I was worried, but he just had, "The price is right." So, it's a perfectly fun joke.

82:14Uh but yeah, I think the I think the most likely thing at this point, right, is that NFL has the video

82:25and uh maybe didn't have the video, but now does.

82:31>> Yeah, because they probably had to get it from Jacobs. So Jacobs, you'd think at this point on the exempl list, if he

82:37hadn't sent the video, has sent the video to them or shown them the video, whatever, then and this video would be one in which

82:48charges were reduced.

82:51You know, I've seen some stuff floating around online of like I've never like my my dad saw the video and he's literally

82:58he's in a coma. He's in a coma now.

83:01>> Yeah. It's like a when a a police officer Google's Google image searched fentanyl >> and they passed out for 3 days

83:11>> just like you know the same type of [ __ ] when like Genty got hurt it's like sources confirm he's tore his MCL you

83:18know people just throw it's yeah it's gross so but anyway the um like that that type of [ __ ] is not worth looking

83:27at but basically I'm like it is it is uh It seems like most likely he'll get a six game, but there is obviously some

83:36chance that this is much worse than that.

83:42Yeah. Um like I just I just keep trying to think of like what like what could be on a video that would warrant like

83:52misdemeanor charges but then also like immediate commissioner's exempt list.

84:00>> Yeah. Also like the Packers weigh in here too. Like if they depending on the video, they could just cut him, right?

84:08Like they they don't have to, you know, he can be free to play but not have the team we thought he did. So there, you

84:16know, there's that kind of risk, too.

84:19I assume Magnova, well, he's got four running backs. He's probably grabbing one of these running backs. Um, but I like Jones and White here as our

84:30running back four. And then Kelsey looks pretty good for us, assuming he makes it. What are your uh what are your

84:38thoughts? Oh, he took Kelsey. That's it's a bit of a bummer.

84:41>> That's all right. That's all right. I haven't been like huge huge on on Kelsey. Um Yeah, we can go Aaron Jones.

84:50>> Kelsey with Mahomes though would have been fun. Yeah, Aaron Jones and then White or Shakir I think are both pretty good.

85:02>> Um, >> running back five [clears throat] or receiver five.

85:04>> Yeah, I'm pretty split on those two actually.

85:08Um, let's go Shakir.

85:11>> Okay.

85:11>> He's been dropping quite a bit.

85:14>> I I do like Shakir, man.

85:17>> Good player.

85:18>> He's a good player. Not I I would say definitely a better in baseball >> of big time >> profile, but like he does have those

85:28really really big weeks >> sometimes. Um and and in like the big PPR weeks.

85:35>> So yeah, love to get him at at 133.

85:42Coker not on the side of recommendations. Fix your sight. We we get some Coker. I don't think Coker is really in the mix with Shakir though.

85:51Like that's that's one where Bills vers Panthers, >> right? Like Shair's been a pretty big target for them over the years. You're

86:02not projecting like, oh, will he have a role this year? Like, yeah, he's gonna have a role, you know? So, I I think

86:09Shakir is a pretty clear pick over Coker.

86:12Yeah, I I think I have Coker ranked right over him. Um I mean with the with with the Bills like you've got obviously

86:22a better offensive environment, but I think like Kinc Kade and DJ Moore kind of one two in the pecking order there.

86:32And then you've got Shakir. And then with the Panthers, it's like very clearly T-Mac and and and Jaylen Coker there.

86:39And they have like nothing else. Um, >> they do have nothing else. That's true.

86:44>> Which is good and bad. Like you would >> Yeah, it's good and bad. Yeah.

86:47>> You You would actually rather that they have Chris Brazzle.

86:52>> I think so.

86:53>> Available and be out there >> because he's going to help he would have helped stretch the field.

86:56>> Yeah.

86:57>> Um, >> yeah. I think what you run into with Coker a little bit is that when Coker is the clearcut wide receiver too,

87:06uh you you don't drop back as much as you might have.

87:10Unless Coker's really good, which I do think is possible.

87:13>> Pretty good.

87:14>> Yeah, I'm a little skeptical that he's like >> I do, >> you know, he was a UDFA who's been pretty solid for two years, but nothing.

87:23It's not been amazing. I do think the the possibility which is looking looking like a strong possibility of of um Tedro

87:34McMillan, you know, increased slot work.

87:37>> Yeah, that looks cool.

87:38>> Is is is not great for Jaylen Coker because he was getting a decent amount of like big slot work which was good for

87:47him.

87:49I think that's not great for Coker and potentially awesome for T-Mac. Yeah.

87:54>> Uh who went in the fifth round of this draft? 503.

87:58>> Wow.

87:59>> Yeah, man.

88:01>> That's wild.

88:02>> Yeah. Are you ever in a draft and and then you're thinking like, "Oh my god, I wish I was in this

88:08>> one. Like, look what dropped here.

88:10Unbelievable." Like, it never happens when I'm in that spot.

88:14>> I mean, yeah, this team is is pretty cool. uh little early on the Jameson Williams.

88:22It's kind of like that. This is also hilarious because they took Jameson Williams in the fourth and then got T-Mac in the fifth. But like I'm like

88:28why did you take Jameson Williams over T-Mac? It doesn't make sense. He gets a Tate fall then with Lloyd Rodriguez Mitchell.

88:39Uh yeah, it's an interesting team. They get the Jameson Williams Jared Goff stack. I think Pertie's unstacked, but you know, whatever.

88:49Uh, let's see. So, we're about to be on the clock. We got some tight ends popping. Dantavian Wixs for the the

88:56double stack. Uh, triple stack if you count Barkley.

89:03I'm guessing we're looking at Oh, he has two tight ends actually, so he might not take Schultz. Normally, I would assume

89:11Schultz from a sidekick user, but we'll see.

89:16He's got one quarterback. He might be looking at a second quarterback here. Is this a Bryce Young pick?

89:22Official guess for Mechnova is Bryce Young, although he could probably push him around the corner. Oh, Cam Ward.

89:32>> Cam Killer Cam. Got a got a good quote on him. Uh, I think I would be Wix here.

89:43>> Uh, yeah, let's let's do Wix.

89:45>> I'm good with Wix. I think we're going to take one of these tight ends, not both with with Leaporta. So, let's just

89:51grab Wix. Do you have a preference of the tight ends?

89:55>> Uh, I think I' Oh, God.

90:00I'd probably be Hunter Henry here.

90:03>> All right, let's do it.

90:09Trey Tucker up there as well.

90:15Damn, dude. This is a fun team.

90:17>> Yeah, it is.

90:19>> Got got Kenneth Walker with Momes, Barkley, Lemon, and Wix with Herz. And then we'll have our our our Coler later.

90:28>> Oh, yeah. Well, we're thinking Coler. I mean, it was one guy psychic. [laughter] I know this psychic cup guy on Coler is gonna happen

90:38>> pretty soon [laughter] like like pretty soon.

90:43>> So we we really want Colar. I think we're looking at the next turn.

90:48So we might have to just uh well he does have Bowers and Kelsey. So it might be like a you know I think I think Cole

90:59show we'll we'll have a we'll have a hint based on where he's showing up for us.

91:04I'll take a look. I'll take a look when we get close. So, he went Ward Tucker for his fifth receiver.

91:11Interesting that Ward was over Young.

91:13Typically, I see Young over over Ward, but he didn't have a Panther or a Titan.

91:21So, Robert Salah, a couple days ago talking about Cam Ward said, "This kid's not gonna fail." Obviously, I put my job

91:32on that one.

91:34Oh god, dude. That is >> But he's not going to fail. He's >> No. Come on, man. [laughter] That is so bearish.

91:43That is so bearish, dude. [laughter] That has the energy of someone who just put everything on black, >> right? [laughter]

91:52Yes. Yeah. It's It's uh It's their final day in [laughter] Vegas.

92:00>> Yeah. Is not going to fail. This roulette wheel, it's not going to fail me, obviously.

92:04>> Yeah. Look at Look at the board. Look at the board. The last The last six have been black, >> dude.

92:11Dude, that has It's like he sees it.

92:13He's like, "Oh my god, my [ __ ] career is tied to this guy."

92:22>> Only thing more bearish would have been like, "He can't fail. He's too big to fail.

92:27>> He's [laughter] too big to fail." The >> I'm here to bail him out. Think about solitude. You You get two shots as a defensiveminded head

92:38coach.

92:40Two.

92:41And your fate is tied to Zack Wilson and Cam Ward. Brutal. That's brutal, man.

92:48That's re That's a really I mean he he should believe in improbable outcomes because his his career proves it's

92:56possible. Uh yeah, I mean Ward, you know, some potential for him to take a step forward. I I do have concerns.

93:05>> Being being with Dable will give him a better shot, but it doesn't necessarily

93:16magically fix everything.

93:21Correct. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. I think Dable My hope for for Brian Dable, frankly, is

93:30that of, you know, current OC's, he's on the higher end of willing to let a guy play through

93:39mistakes and kind of like like he's he's he's not quite Bruce Aryens's, but the, you know, like the no risk it no biscuit

93:48uh coach isn't in the league anymore.

93:50So, Dball's at least like a little bit like that.

93:54Um, and I think you you really really need uh a coach who's not like gonna, you know, throw his headset at the first

94:05interception with Cam Ward.

94:09>> You need a biscuit.

94:11>> Yeah. You need a guy who likes big plays and is willing willing to to play a guy who can get get in big plays even if it

94:19means some mistakes.

94:20>> Yeah. And that's that is the kind of quarterback that Kim Ward is is kind of like a big game hunter.

94:26>> That's right.

94:30So, I have a I have a feeling that these guys are also pretty high. Yeah. For Magnova. Um Chris Bell is the guy that

94:39I've been trying to get more of.

94:41>> Yeah, I'd be Belle here.

94:43>> Yeah, let's go. Let's go Bell.

94:45>> I think it might be Sadique.

94:48>> I'm fine with Sadique if you want to do that. As you can see, I'm pretty pretty high on Cooper. Oh, Gunner Helm

94:54actually pops up to the top, but I'm fine with Sadique if you want to do that. I think these guys are pretty

94:58close.

94:58>> Yeah, I'd be Sadique here.

95:00>> All right, we have three tight ends.

95:05>> Was probably going to get the Hunter Cooper uh sidekick brand combo.

95:11The you the the congrats, you definitely are using the sidekick combo. [laughter] >> Oops. All sidekick.

95:17>> Oops. All sidekick. Top guy. Oops. All top guy. [laughter] Oh, not Kelsey. We have a little >> Oh, he won Vle.

95:26>> Nice. Good pick.

95:30>> The That's the I'm using the sidekick, but I'm also watching Greg Branos.

95:37>> Yeah, man. He's gonna I think he's going to eat pretty pretty early and often.

95:49I think early >> when Tyson will be. Yeah. Yes. He'll eat often early.

95:54>> He'll eat often early.

95:55>> Early bird special.

95:57>> Early bird [laughter] special.

95:58>> He's he's in Boca Raton.

96:02He's at the He's at the four o'clock dinner blue plate special with all the all the blue-haired granny's, which he's pretty close to an age.

96:14>> Yeah. on on on >> he's no contract. He's he's no he's no young buck.

96:19>> He's no young 20 just turned 28, you know. [laughter] >> He's old enough to be uh Naji's older

96:30brother.

96:31>> Yeah.

96:33>> Uh what's we gota Yeah. Kell Moore August 27th. Devonvele has obviously been a phenomenal target down in the red

96:42zone for a long time. He makes big time plays.

96:46>> Was that an age burn?

96:49>> Yeah.

96:51Since the dawn of time, as the Egyptians wrote about in the hieroglyphic [laughter] is a red zone weapon

97:02>> in a world as the Greeks sang

97:14for centuries. Genesis chapter 2 verse three. [laughter] >> Abraham begott Veil.

97:29>> Oh man.

97:30>> Pretty nice that Vele or like cool that like he's alive because the Rams showed up in the in the bush and they didn't

97:39have to [laughter] sacrifice Devon.

97:45>> [laughter] >> Oh man. Yeah, he's uh you know he plays for the Saints. You know, it's all come full circle.

97:55>> Yeah. The the franchise of the burning Reggie Bush.

97:59>> The Burning Reggie Bush. Yeah.

98:03>> Yeah. He's uh I think a pretty solid pick. Pretty solid pick. Especially if you need, you know, kind of he's he's a

98:09chaper true chaperon.

98:10>> Yeah. Oh, yeah.

98:15So is Calvin Ridley here.

98:16>> There's no there's no guarantee that um that Tyson will be able to stay healthy when he when he gets back.

98:26So >> that's true. Yeah. Hamstring injury that put you on IR and you know you've been dealing with for a while could recur.

98:37They will they will be overly cautious on it though like I think I think at the time when they would be like okay he

98:47would he would be ready to play at this point I think they give him like still another extra >> I do too and I think that's good

98:56>> I think that's good >> yes >> you don't want them rushing him back in any way >> right >> uh so I think that you know Uh there's

99:07there's definitely some uh there's a bullish way to read what they did, you know, which is that they're they're being prudent. You know, they're

99:18looking out for his long-term health.

99:20And by long term, I mean like that he's ready for the end of this season in a in a like, holy [ __ ] this guy's a star

99:27kind of way. [clears throat] >> All right, so we're I think going to be in good shape at this turn, too. Uh Helm

99:35made it all the way back and then is still here. So thoughts on that? Plus Cyrus Allen way past ADP. You

99:43know, some of that's due to the the preseason usage and stuff, but I I'd be down to take him, too.

99:47>> Yeah, let's let's take him with with Momes.

99:50>> All right.

99:52Cyrus Allen early season, not going to get a lot, but but the stack is pretty fun with Mahomes. Uh, and then are you

100:00Helm or or uh you trying to get a get aboard the Colar Express here?

100:04>> Man, I I I honestly think I would be We have two quarterbacks, right?

100:11>> Yeah, we have Herz and Mahomes.

100:12>> I think I would be Mendoza here.

100:15>> Interesting.

100:17Pache or uh No, I don't say PCO. The top Penn is is actually above Mendoza, but uh I'm good with Mendoza.

100:25>> Yeah.

100:32If if branch had fallen to us, I was thinking of the like branch pen double up. Yeah.

100:37>> Yeah. Which is what Macova pulled off.

100:38>> Well, Mac Nova, >> we've got Leaporta, Henry, and Sadik at tight ends. So, tight end's not a

100:48massive priority. Um, but you get a falling helm.

100:54Colar's a bring back on the the Chiefs stuff. But yeah, Mendoza or Pennix I do think is an interesting way to play that

101:04where you're just probably like getting you're putting more points on the team probably over the course of the year. I think in the playoffs stacked Mahomes

101:11stacked stacked Herz is what we're living and dying by. But um when do you think Mendoza plays? Like what's your kind of updated timeline on

101:21that?

101:27I I still feel like it's pretty pretty early on. I think it's when we when we see Kirk Cousins having to make 40 yard

101:36throws.

101:42That's a straightup prophecy, dude.

101:45Like when Cousins throws for 40 [laughter] Like when

101:57like what the sky is red and cook throws deep.

102:06>> Yeah.

102:08What What do you mean?

102:11>> I just I don't I I don't think he is going to be able to execute what is needed from a Clint Kubak offense.

102:19Like we we we've talked about this throughout the offseason about um the like deep playaction pass being a staple of the Kubak offense. Like you need some

102:31arm strength to be able to hit that. And I'm just not sure that Cousins has that anymore. Um like look like look at the

102:39way he's throwing like 10 yard and 15 yard passes in the preeason and the amount of effort that it is taking him

102:47to drive the ball on those passes. Now triple the length of of those [laughter] passes.

103:00I see. I see. Okay. So, like when he once he has to throw deep at at all, they're going to go, "Oh, no."

103:09>> Yeah.

103:09>> Okay. I I see.

103:12>> Also, Mendoza looks >> good [snorts] right now.

103:17>> He does.

103:18>> Yeah. I I I think he looks better than we probably would have expected him to look, you know, if we go back like three

103:28or four months from now. Like, what do you expect from him in the preseason?

103:33I think Mendoza as well. Like I have concerns about Mendoza, but they're more about what's his ceiling,

103:45>> you know? Did you just spend the first overall pick to get your version of Sam Darnold, which has some utility? I mean,

103:51Sam Darnold just won a Super Bowl.

103:53>> All right. This is this is kind of the reason why I wanted to take Mendoza was hoping that Michael Mayor

103:58>> Mayor would come back. Yeah. Yeah.

104:02Um, but I don't think Mendoza is going to be like a star, you know?

104:09>> So, that makes it.

104:14>> Hang on. All right, let's prepare ourselves.

104:17>> Settle in, brother.

104:18>> There's a nice double.

104:21>> I know, but we're we're dealing with Magnova here.

104:28I would throw out uh if we want if we get sniped on on our buddy uh the Coler Express, then we we could look at a

104:37little IKB here at tight end.

104:43>> Oh god. And you made us wait full 30, dude.

104:46>> Wow. [screaming] >> Thought we were friends.

104:51>> I actually really really love Darnell Washington.

104:54>> All right. Well, so does >> and I do have him ranked above Charlie Kohler. So jokes's on you. Magnova >> mayor mayor and

105:06>> Rat jumps to the top. Singleton's interesting. Um I have 18%. I think I'm >> I think Jeremy here.

105:14>> Let's go Jeremy.

105:16>> I know you I know you cannot refuse a German.

105:22>> Let's germ it up, dude.

105:27He'd make a good uh a good or a terrible I guess mucinx spokesman.

105:38>> Oh man. So then the Baitman, you got to say, you know, it's a pretty good team by Magnova here sitting sitting next to

105:45us. But I think we did well, too.

105:46>> But I'll admit it.

105:47>> Yeah, I'll admit it. Um, but to recap our team, we end up with Herz, Mahomes, and an unstacked Mendoza at the third

105:56quarterback, but maybe a little by-week helper, a little late season juice. And we do have Herz with Barkley, with

106:04Lemon, and with Dantavian Wixs. We have we have Mahomes with Kenneth Walker, and a very late pick 204, Cyrus Allen. So,

106:15that's pretty damn fun. At running back, Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Walker, Jadarian Price, and Aaron Jones for the four running back build. And then Wadd

106:25Higgins, Christian Watson, Mai Lemon, Khalil Shakir, Dontavian Wixs, Chris Bell, Cyrus Allen, and Jeremy Bernard at receiver. And at tight end, we have Sam

106:34Leaporta, Hunter Henry, Kenyan Sadi, and Darnell Washington. I love this team, dude. This team's awesome.

106:41>> This is a nice team.

106:42>> And and like it's I love like the the mix at receiver. you have like Wix and and and Shakir and some of these like,

106:49you know, a little bit more boring. And then you you have the obviously the the top three receivers are really good. You

106:55have multiple rookies with Lemon and Bell and Allen and Bernard, but those those and then and then Sadique as well, you know, got that rookie upside at

107:04tight end and receiver and then some kind of more steady veterans, you know, chaperoning us there at both tight end and receiver with with uh you know,

107:14Darnell and and Henry. Leaporta looks like he'll he'll be producing right away now. So >> yeah, >> nice mix of like very easy to see if

107:23these running backs are the dudes you need and you know these receivers stay healthy and everything like this team's going to score a lot of points out of

107:29the gate, but there's a ton of upside as well late season.

107:33>> Yeah, this is this is your classic 11 and and and 12 advancing out of the pot here.

107:40>> Yeah. Uh getting Herz lemon after 80p is fun.

107:47>> I had fun.

107:47>> Yeah. Let's see. Oh, here he goes. Uh, it was either Color or Ingram. Sorry. I thought we were friends as he hopes for

107:53three good picks at every turn. So, I get nothing. [laughter] No, you didn't get nothing. You didn't get nothing. You got one good pick.

108:00Three good picks gives you one and us two. I just need an edge over you. I don't need nothing for you.

108:06>> Yeah. It's it's it's it's [laughter] the fantasy football like trade thing of the getting getting the best player in the trade, right? You're getting the

108:14You're getting the >> I'm trying to rip you off in a trade, but by giving you something of value, >> not you know, it's like Yeah, I was I

108:23was hoping not for zero zero good picks for you means zero good picks for us.

108:26>> That's right.

108:27>> I was I was pretty clear about >> we're all in this together.

108:29>> We're all in this together. I just don't >> I just need to be first.

108:34>> Was it petty that I didn't hope for four good picks every turn so we can both eat? Yes, >> I admit that. [laughter]

108:41>> We can't be honest. We can't speak our truths.

108:44>> You want us to lie?

108:45>> I don't want your team to be any better than it has to be.

108:48>> Come on.

108:48>> Cuz I'm [laughter] competing against it directly.

108:51>> I pay for your product, so I might as well use it sometimes. Yeah. Well, >> you know, uh, is it a first time? Is it

108:58the first time I get recommending one hot spot ahead of >> It's recommending Isaiah Pacheco at the six in the [laughter] sixth round. If

109:09you heard typing, it was definitely not me going sack, push the button, the siren button.

109:16>> Got that pedal underneath underneath your desk. [laughter] One little press.

109:24>> A nice team, fellas. It's a nice team to MacOVA. Nova ends up >> uh since I we got Herz and Lemon. I

109:31still think even getting sniped on Colar, which you're you're [snorts] happy we did because we got Washington instead. Uh, I'm still delighted that

109:38that that happened. So, I'll recap Magnova's team. Uh, in thanks Lamar Jackson, Cam Ward, and Michael Penn. The little did a fun little back stack with

109:48PennX with Branch there. Uh, and he stacked up Lamar a couple ways with Flowers and Baitman. Uh, didn't have Andrew. So, yeah, double stack there.

109:57Bree Hall, Tayvon Henderson, Rico Dattle, Blake Cororm, and Rashad White at running back. Uh, and then CD Lamb, Zay Flowers, Josh DS, Casey Conpsion,

110:07Trey Tucker, Hunter Henry, Devon Bailey, Zachariah Branch, and Rashad Baitman at receiver with Brock Bowers, Travis Kelce at tight end. Totally done. Don't need a

110:18third. Oh, Charlie Kar added in the 19th round.

110:21>> Too powerful.

110:22>> Uh, too powerful. If he's there, you got to take I mean, seriously, 1911 Kar is kind of a jam still. So, would have gone

110:29undrafted in an 18 round format.

110:32Starting tight end of the Chargers, man.

110:33What are we doing?

110:34>> Tight end ones. Come on.

110:35>> Yeah, my Quant Mack always has good teams.

110:39All right, that'll do it for for uh Are we We're We're doing next week, I suppose.

110:46>> I would I would think so. Yeah.

110:47>> Yeah. And then we >> final one. Then we'll never >> see each other again. [laughter] >> Oh, no.

110:56>> I don't know, man. These streets are pretty treacherous here.

111:00>> [laughter] >> Oh yeah, seriously, dude. It's uh >> might be back in France next year.

111:08>> I'll see you at Film Festival.

111:10>> What What time is it in France right now?
