Welcome , ladies and gentlemen , to Slinging Sammy's Fantasy

0:03

Football Podcast . I'm Chris and I'm

0:05

here with . Well , you introduced yourself a

0:07

friend , I am apparently Scott the functional

0:09

alcoholic .

0:10

Let's look at these roster .

0:12

Okay , who do you see as the best one

0:14

? That's a great question .

0:16

We have to look at the rosters , right , so let's just

0:19

do a brief run down .

0:20

We got Nap of Prime , who obviously is the top dog

0:22

right here except you two . We've got

0:24

Prescott McCaffrey , gibbs

0:26

, murray Thomas , eulain

0:29

Tucker

0:32

, kelsey Tua

0:34

and the

0:36

rest are , you know , whatever .

0:38

So he's got , and he doesn't have much on

0:40

his bench right so . But you got Christian

0:43

McCaffrey , you

0:45

got a chance To Mark Gibbs . I think it's going to be at least

0:47

50-50 going forward . I mean even at least

0:50

the beast you know there in

0:52

Detroit . I think Montgomery's still going to be

0:54

fine , I think it's still going to be , you know , 50-50 , maybe

0:56

60-40, . Maybe it's swinging the other way . Well

0:58

, who do you see ?

1:00

carrying the ball more when Montgomery gets that . Montgomery

1:02

or Gibbs , I still see Montgomery .

1:04

I still see Montgomery too , because I don't think they

1:06

want to overuse Gibbs . You know , I don't . I think that's , I

1:08

think that's for sure . But I think Gibbs

1:11

is still going to be fine , so it's

1:13

a good offense . It's going to score points

1:15

, so it's a above

1:17

average offense . Would you agree ?

1:19

Yeah , I agree , yeah , so I think

1:21

they're going to be fine .

1:22

You got Kelsey . Kelsey is going to have his great games Okay

1:24

games . Now it's kind of all of a sudden

1:27

that church kill

1:29

mode . You never know what you're going to get . He

1:32

doesn't have much on the bench , you know , as far

1:34

as players , so hopefully the starters will do well

1:36

. He's got a chest and tucker . You got a chest and tucker . You

1:38

got a chance .

1:39

No .

1:40

But he's a guy , he's a thing .

1:42

He's got some of the top players , but I think it really runs

1:44

down to Stephen and Christian McCaffrey and

1:46

, just and sorry , Josh Kelsey . Healthy , They'll

1:50

both go into the playoffs . Healthy , he's

1:52

got a strong chance to ring all .

1:54

And remember with Brett he went heavy on , he

1:56

was by far the most money going into the draft . I spent

1:58

the most money already before the draft . So

2:01

he he saved , montgomery , saved sorry Montgomery

2:03

, mccaffrey , kelsey and Chubb . So he had invested a lot of money in you

2:06

know , early season . It paid off . So kudos to

2:09

him . You know several seconds . He's got

2:11

like Herbert Kamara .

2:13

Barclay , Ayut , St

2:15

Brown , Flowers , Schultz

2:17

. It's a great roster

2:20

he's got a great roster .

2:23

I love his roster . Sorry , I don't mean to

2:25

defer to you guys , but I mean Herbert's , unfortunately

2:27

under under

2:29

achieved . Kamara was a great , great pick

2:31

. Barclay is still going to love the load

2:33

. Love Raheem , mostert , Mostart

2:37

. I like Zay Flowers a lot . That's

2:40

second half of the season . I'm going to say

2:42

right now is really good . Jake B Myers is

2:44

still , I think , going to be sold as a wide receiver three

2:46

. So I think he's got decent players

2:49

. He's got a lot

2:51

of injuries too and

2:53

he's running . He's got , so he's got this phenomenon we

2:56

were talking a little about there . Like I don't , I don't

2:58

understand why people are dropping people before

3:00

before they pick up other players of the

3:02

thing . So , travis , if you want to tell

3:04

us why , send us a , send us a note

3:07

.

3:08

So you know , you look at it . I agree His

3:10

roster's looking pretty good . You

3:12

know you got some questionable things here . I would

3:14

say , like having John Palmer and Mike Williams on

3:16

the IR , but you kept those guys

3:18

both Obviously one

3:21

IR spot . You know I've asked

3:23

one or the other , but he has two little empty

3:25

bench spots right now . We're

3:27

no reason there . He's got a kicker which I would

3:29

imagine his kicker is on the bi-league . That's

3:32

why he dropped him , but he's got empty spots which don't

3:34

make sense to me . And

3:36

then even on his bench he's got like

3:38

Michael Wilson , which is the beginning of the

3:40

podcast we talked about as

3:43

well . And you look at this , it's

3:46

a great roster , but why ? Why do

3:49

you have empty spots ? I don't know

3:51

.

3:52

But I guess at the top three there , and

3:55

it's no different . I'm not trying

3:57

to slam you or Napa . I think I liked that starting roster the best

3:59

, but we'll see what happens . I

4:02

don't disagree though .

4:04

Alba with Sam Burns , we've got Sam Howell , stevenson

4:06

, nixon

4:09

, kirk Allen . By the way , allen's catch for us

4:11

was like his thousandth career

4:14

catch or whatever it was . It

4:16

was amazing Ten thousandth

4:19

career catch . It's like an amazing Lockett

4:22

Andrews Elliott as

4:24

a kicker he's got on his bench , cooper

4:26

Watson and I also

4:28

got a spot on that . But what

4:31

do you think of that roster ?

4:32

I think he's actually got a solid roster all around . I

4:34

actually like the bench players a lot . I

4:37

like Cooper and my receiver

4:39

, two other ones . He's the number three at this point

4:41

, the back quarterback , so that's

4:43

probably going to run

4:45

its course . But I like Algear and like Elliott

4:47

as a back up , like Ford cream hunt , he's

4:50

got solid options there running back . I mean

4:52

, when you got Nixon and Stevenson starting , you're

4:54

probably okay . He's

4:56

got solid . By receivers . I mean they're not flashy , none of

4:59

them , right as you said , christian Kirk , you know , and kind of lock it

5:01

, but they still

5:03

just get the job done . Mike Andrews is the second best you

5:05

know , tied

5:07

in in football . I think Algear , you know he's

5:10

got a lot of knowledge out of his quarterback . I imagine he might

5:13

have been starting probably

5:15

Wessel Wilson before Sam Howell , but I think he's actually got

5:17

a pretty solid roster

5:19

up and down .

5:20

I think so too . He's got very much the

5:22

blue collar roster . Oh

5:25

yeah , nothing flashy , nothing with super ultra

5:27

high ceilings , but I think he's got a pretty solid roster up there .

5:30

Yeah , and I just hope . You know he

5:32

started out hot , you know he started out 3-0 and

5:35

he's faulted a little bit , but but

5:38

you know he's , hey , he's on a winning streak now . He beat

5:40

the methodic ranchers , so only good things are happening

5:42

from here . So well , that's not hard to do .

5:45

Really fast .

5:47

That was hard to do . Can you just explain that ? It's like five

5:49

minutes ago .

5:52

I was hoping you just let that . Oh

5:54

man

5:56

, we

6:01

got Jacob make a Metcalf brown

6:03

digs over . You

6:06

know I'm more like this team . Like wow was pretty

6:08

good . He's got James Cook on his bed where she'd

6:10

white . I'll see

6:12

much else on there that would really brag about , but nothing

6:14

terrible and I keen

6:16

on the IR . What do you think of this

6:18

?

6:19

Yeah , rashad wise really come on the last

6:21

week or two , I think . Actually he's , he's

6:24

, he's solid , I think . But the

6:26

thought hardly a buffalo is that , my

6:28

god . I mean seem like James Cook was gonna

6:30

be a stud beginning year . I look like he was , and

6:32

then they just don't want to run anymore . It's really kind

6:34

of weird what's going on in Buffalo . Let's

6:37

even do that every , every single year . He's

6:40

got a solid enough running back or I like where she

6:42

rise . I think Russia rice is gonna be a thing

6:44

, potentially the second of the season . But you can never trust anything

6:46

that goes on in Kansas City . It's kind of like the , the

6:49

new dingy in the Patriots . As far as you

6:51

know players , you still especially why we're sitting

6:53

. I got a browns , a stud

6:55

, except and digs a stud . He's got

6:57

a lot of . He's got a lot of pension . He does miss

6:59

freaky . He lost the first games

7:02

that he won the next three games . They

7:04

lost the next two games and he won the last

7:06

week's game . So Doug's

7:08

streaky , but I mean he's got

7:10

good enough players to take them all the way .

7:13

You know I would say he's got the best roster

7:15

working at this . You got , you

7:17

know , maybe a number three quarterback Running

7:20

backs are like streaky but good

7:22

, like you're kind of commenting that calf

7:24

can be streaky but he's good . Aj Browns a stud

7:26

digs , a stud Goldert

7:28

although he's might not play

7:30

in the next couple weeks , one

7:33

of the best tight ends , not a solid tie in

7:35

, and he's got a solid bench .

7:37

I mean it's pretty good roster right there

7:39

, the big ones at the bottom , I mean the bit of the IR

7:42

and so a chains that's supposed to come back

7:44

and that's beyond us . That guy

7:46

looked like the best running back in football . He's

7:49

running those those few weeks , so he's

7:51

supposed to be come back , I think , in another few weeks or so

7:53

. So that's gonna be , I think , huge for him .

7:56

Yeah , that makes me bitter and

7:58

angry . Norcal , it

8:00

makes you angry . No , that a king

8:02

is on his roster . You know why ? Why

8:05

I drafted them .

8:07

Oh , the first week he did

8:10

nothing .

8:10

He wasn't even playing and I picked

8:12

him up for read on Green Bay Drop

8:16

down , I should say , and picked up read . Literally

8:20

you know , I picked him up and he went

8:22

off for 200 yards .

8:23

I feel you guess you drop , you drop

8:25

CJ Strad .

8:28

Yeah , yeah , I

8:32

mean of like bad mistakes and

8:34

it doesn't just last for

8:36

a couple days , it lasts for years . Sometimes

8:38

it's like I'm gonna keep it .

8:44

Okay , no count . Norcal wineslingers so

8:49

he's got . He's got Derek Carr is supposed to your best

8:51

. Got Derek Carr . Oh , that's horrible . He's got

8:53

somebody else , right , oh God

8:55

, okay , so he's got . He's got

8:58

Derek Henry . John Taylor hey

9:00

, john Taylor , think bet is paying off , so that's good

9:02

. Travis Etienne oh

9:04

God , that's a guy drop , he's

9:07

got . So he's got something . Got Reese Hall

9:10

and Gus Edwards and shovel over it . So

9:12

he's really strong at running bags . He's got scary . Terry

9:14

. Mike Evans two solo options

9:16

there . Please got Marquis Brown . Tyree

9:19

kill was obviously something by this week . John Dotson

9:21

NorCal wineslingers

9:24

we're talking about impressive rosters . It's

9:26

really the only he's weak at Hide

9:29

in . He's questionable . The Joku

9:31

and the King K and , of course , quarterback

9:33

. But why receiver running back ? That

9:36

might be some of the best stuff we have in early yeah

9:38

, and you know the gambles .

9:40

You paid off it with Jonathan Taylor picking them up or

9:42

you know bidding for him the highest it's

9:44

paid off . Etn paid off

9:46

, I would believe in some weeks he's been bad

9:49

. I think that's why his record hasn't been so good . Etn

9:52

has been streaky and and

9:54

McLaren is always so solid , evans

9:57

streaky , tyree

9:59

kill is amazing , so you can't even

10:01

comment on that . But you look

10:03

at his roster and everything is

10:05

really really good .

10:08

Actually just challenging , for this ETN

10:10

is actually that was three . He's been . He scored

10:12

at least 22 points the last four weeks .

10:15

Well , yeah , he's really come on , but these is also

10:17

had weeks before that .

10:19

That weren't so good , so we should talk about the

10:21

fact that I could have kept ETN

10:23

either , which I think it's like about ten dollars

10:26

, which , at this where he's at

10:28

it , could have been still . You can that say

10:30

, scott ? Why did you actually throw him back in the

10:32

pool ? Because it

10:34

didn't seem clear how Peterson

10:36

was using them . It just it just seemed very odd

10:38

like he wasn't using them in the passing

10:40

game at all and they hot

10:43

they . They drafted a guy in the third round , tank

10:45

Dell , nothing

10:47

, dell , tank something big B and

10:49

it's like all signs pointed like this

10:51

doesn't seem like it's going the right direction , but

10:53

apparently he

10:56

was great .

10:57

Well , the comparison is like for me

10:59

. I picked up Jaden Reed to drop a key . Hmm

11:02

, who did you keep

11:05

in order to not retain ETN ?

11:08

Oh geez , it was just . It

11:10

probably was Christian Watson , you know , you

11:14

know . Or Joe Burrow was the other one that I kept . So

11:18

I wouldn't much rather bet at

11:20

the end . I mean , obviously that was

11:23

a mistake , but it seemed calculated at the time and

11:25

so great for the slingers for picking them up

11:27

. And again , I mean , why

11:29

receiver running back strong

11:32

the rest ? I mean , if

11:34

I was , a slinger , I would be looking for a quarterback and

11:36

maybe a tied in and taking

11:38

some of that back capital and wheeling a deal

11:40

with somebody we only got about a week before

11:42

the trade line lines up .

11:43

Yeah , that's true . And

11:45

so what would you do at the situation for Northfell-Wight

11:48

slingers ? Would you trade ETN ?

11:51

I might trade Jonathan Taylor . I

11:53

might trade Jonathan Henry , I mean Derek Henry . I

11:55

might trade Beast Hall . I mean you got a lot of options

11:57

there to get a better quarterback and

12:00

there's definitely some other teams that have

12:02

maybe better quarterbacks

12:04

than Derek Carr .

12:07

So I guess let me rephrase the question Northfell

12:09

is at four and five . Should he

12:11

go all in and go for the playoffs this

12:13

year and do a trade ?

12:14

like that . You know everything I just said . I'm looking

12:17

at the cars . You know he

12:19

scored at least 19 points , 18 points the last

12:21

five weeks . If you were a first starting quarterback , would

12:24

you call that good I ?

12:26

won't call it bad Enough . It's

12:28

good enough . I wouldn't say it's good .

12:31

I mean I mean he just sucked the first four weeks of the

12:33

season . He's actually been solid . The last

12:35

he does have a buy coming up . He

12:38

gets Minnesota , then he gets Atlanta , gets Detroit

12:40

, carolina , mary Giants

12:42

we hear you talking about that . He's

12:44

got nothing scary on his ride on the so

12:47

maybe he's okay with car . But I mean I would consider

12:49

trying to maybe trade for somebody better . You've got a lot

12:51

of capital .

12:54

So you flip the players to get good this

12:56

year , no matter what . Yeah

12:58

, absolutely , that's not

13:00

a wrong strategy . All

13:03

right , santa Boilermakers , we have four

13:05

and five . They have Josh Allen , eckler

13:07

Spears playing right now . Garrett

13:10

Wilson , jamar Chase , cooper Cup

13:12

. Trent McBride

13:14

Vikings , zula Bench

13:16

. I look at James Conner , who's on the IR

13:18

, and David Montgomery Charmene

13:21

. We talk about the Colons . Anything

13:25

in there that would you like and not like about this ?

13:26

roster . This is the hardest team right , because

13:29

everything that the

13:31

San Bernard did last year they spun gold , everything

13:34

they did turned to gold . Yet they can

13:36

only keep three players right . And

13:40

now this year they kind of in a way

13:42

, kind of spun gold in a way . But

13:45

it hasn't kind of worked out the same way that it did last

13:47

year Because San

13:49

Bernard did a great job , picking up a good balance of rookies

13:51

and early , you know , young

13:53

players , and it's

13:56

just been hard to gel right . I mean , Eckler

13:58

was hurts , wilson's got

14:00

it . Unfortunately in the quarterback

14:02

situation , jamar Chase suffered

14:04

the three weeks because Borough was

14:06

hurt . Cooper Cup obviously was out the

14:08

first four weeks Because

14:11

he's got a solid roster all the way . There's

14:13

a lot . I mean I'd ask you a

14:15

lot of players on his team . Would you like them on your roster

14:17

? I would .

14:20

There's a lot of guys on that team that I would like on my

14:22

roster and unfortunately , like you said

14:24

, there's been some unfortunate . Like he

14:26

did spin gold last year . I

14:28

feel like it's coming out of costs this year where things

14:30

just haven't worked out . And

14:33

not to say that he didn't make the right

14:35

choices because he did . But

14:37

you look at Garrett Wilson , that

14:39

guy was like freaking stud last year . You

14:42

bring in Aaron Rodgers . It

14:44

looked like the sky was the limit and

14:47

you know now that we have Zach

14:49

Wilson playing quarterback again , it doesn't look

14:51

good . Yeah , jamar

14:53

Chase , like you said , borough was out for whatever

14:56

reason . Jamar Chase has not exceeded

14:58

, not that he's been bad , because he hasn't

15:00

been , but he hasn't been great

15:03

. Cooper Cup

15:05

same thing like Cooper Cup . I

15:07

said . I think maybe one game this year has been great

15:09

. That's about it .

15:11

I mean for .

15:12

Cooper Cup it's been because he's been hurt . So

15:14

understandably , that's a different scenario . Did

15:17

Montgomery was a great pick until

15:21

it wasn't when he got hurt , you know , and so you

15:23

can see , like Zach Charbonnet was like

15:25

a trendy pick and he got him as a

15:27

rookie and that was kind of his strategy last year . But

15:30

it hasn't had out for this year Doesn't mean

15:32

it won't for next . I will say Austin Eckler

15:34

, though , looks good going

15:37

forward . Josh

15:39

Allen hasn't looked bad

15:41

, but I don't think he's been as good

15:43

as last year , right , and

15:46

so everything just hasn't looked as good as

15:48

last year . And unfortunately for

15:50

San Harbor they're four and five at this point

15:52

, but they got a great roster . It's not like any

15:54

of those guys Garrett , wilson , chase , cup

15:57

you're talking about literally could be one , two , three

15:59

and receivers at the beginning of the

16:01

year . If I said the top three

16:03

receivers are Wilson , chase and Cup , would

16:05

you be like laughing me

16:07

off ? Seems reasonable . Yeah , I mean

16:10

, it's possible . It didn't happen that way , unfortunately

16:12

for him , but it would be possible .

16:15

Yeah , and then I mean I don't

16:17

know that James Conner status , but I mean I think you get

16:19

him back , and especially

16:21

when you factor that Conner's

16:25

actually back in practice already . So you get

16:27

Conner's back , that's actually nice , because now they're going to have Murray

16:29

, that could actually I mean , arizona

16:32

could be I'm not going to say their team on the rise , but

16:34

they're going to be a team that's not going to be a little , they're definitely going

16:36

to be better , I think the second half of season

16:39

with Murray and Conner back . So that could be a guy

16:41

that actually finds his way into it . That is starting to line

16:43

up that . Go help them .

16:45

So I will say one thing we'll probably do the next

16:47

team , but James

16:50

Conner I've had for the last three years on my team . He

16:53

is a good player when he's healthy Yep

16:55

, probably James Conner is . He's not always

16:57

healthy , but you can count him

16:59

in . His floor is

17:01

really high as a running back , yeah , but

17:03

his ceiling is not very high . Like , the difference between

17:06

his floor and ceiling is not much , right

17:08

. But the thing is he's kind of got you on

17:10

your team because you know what you're going to get yeah , and

17:13

you're going to get . You're not going to have a dead game for

17:15

him , no , but you

17:18

are going to have a game that's going to get you some points and

17:20

you're going to be happy with . The

17:24

only weakness of James Conner is his

17:26

tall funnies . Injured , yeah

17:28

, but absolutely All right

17:30

. So move on . I don't think you will

17:32

really want to comment on the scene , but you can . We

17:35

got the Mustang ranchers , yeah

17:37

. Joe Burrow , aaron Jones , kenneth Walker

17:39

, the third , jalen Warner . We

17:41

got Ridley CD lamb , CJ

17:44

Hawkinson . We

17:46

got Christian Watson , adams , jackson

17:50

Smith , nijima on

17:54

the on the bench and

17:56

Trevor Lawrence and the

17:58

Mario Douglas .

18:01

So what do you ? always go off on it

18:03

. What's the worst thing ? I have three right three

18:05

tight ends of three quarterbacks . That's

18:08

not . It's not a that's not a thing for success

18:10

. But I was . I

18:12

was stashy Calabar , so I moved I him up for my

18:14

IR today . That was , that was the first move I

18:16

made today . I , michael

18:19

Myers probably not along from the

18:21

roster Ever again . I

18:23

should probably should have worked harder to train him because

18:25

he's actually Almost the top five

18:27

tight ends . I should be working harder to train

18:30

him . You

18:32

know the running backs been okay . Kenneth Walker's

18:34

gonna perform lately . Aaron

18:36

Jones obviously been banged up that . Those are like

18:39

the things , the guys that I thought were my key pieces

18:41

and I thought really is gonna

18:43

be a stud . He's been hot and cold . Unfortunately

18:45

. Cdl is actually been a stud the last two weeks . They

18:47

finally figured out oh , we should probably throw it a CDL

18:50

because he's the best player in the team and that's

18:52

helped me a lot . Tejas been solid

18:54

for obviously got out to slow start . So

18:57

I feel like I got a lot of pieces . Maybe

19:00

speak volume that I'm actually get your

19:02

opinion and I'm

19:04

thinking about sitting Devonte Adams Over

19:07

Ridley and CDL and not even put him

19:09

on my flex over Jeremy Warren

19:11

this week .

19:13

I Would disagree with that

19:15

Okay .

19:16

That's fair .

19:17

I really feel like Devonte Adams is gonna have turned

19:19

the corner . Come to Jesus kind of moment without

19:21

With a new coach in there . I

19:24

think they're gonna figure some things out . And

19:27

Mark my words . If I had to put another beer

19:29

on the line , I will say Devonte

19:32

Adams is gonna have a Maybe

19:34

not a massive year

19:37

, a best massive game . Sorry . Next week he's

19:39

gonna have a really solid game , better

19:42

than Warren , for sure his

19:44

best scoring performance in the last six weeks is

19:46

15 points . I know and

19:49

I Trust me . I

19:51

know this . I just see things turning

19:53

around for Adams . He's too talented . They

19:57

know this .

19:58

They're gonna find a way to get in the ball , but

20:00

I'll be able to actually have a warren , never

20:03

talking about roster decisions , right ? My decision for

20:05

warren is that I think they're

20:07

going against Green Bay . Green Bay is

20:10

pretty mid , they're just okay

20:12

. I think they're gonna run the ball a lot potentially

20:15

, and so that was my motivation for going

20:17

warren . I don't like it , and

20:19

you're right , it's a , it's a . It's a . It's a Floor

20:23

player versus a ceiling player , sort of thing

20:25

. So but I just don't know , I mean

20:27

how long . The question is how long you wait on a

20:29

player and how long you wait on Devonte Adams , okay

20:32

. I'm telling this Going against the

20:34

, we'll go against one of the best defenses of football

20:36

, by the way , too .

20:36

Okay , so we're just each other next week , right

20:39

?

20:39

Yes .

20:40

I will go another drink , a third drink , that

20:43

Devonte Adams will have more fantasy points

20:45

in Jalen Warren .

20:49

Um , I'll

20:52

make that bet All right . So

20:55

we're up to three drinks , right ? I think actually

20:57

Jalen Warren's back before them , like four

20:59

out of the last six weeks , but that's okay , yeah .

21:03

You know , I like the odds . I

21:05

Can see we're going with and the numbers do

21:07

support that Jalen Warren is going to be a better player

21:09

next week . I Just feel

21:11

like Devonte Adams is gonna finally pull it together .

21:14

By the way .

21:15

I think the offense is gonna finally realize hey

21:17

, we have one of the best receivers on the team .

21:19

Let's sort of that's

21:21

really been doing all season and it hasn't worked . So

21:27

who is the I guess who's side question ? They were way

21:29

over . What is the

21:31

best division in football ?

21:32

Oh Damn to

21:35

me it's not even close . You and the

21:37

C was the

21:39

AFC North .

21:42

It's good , yeah , I mean . I mean

21:44

I just I was thinking about that because I was

21:46

thinking about Janet Warren . I

21:48

mean there's not many better

21:51

teams than Cleveland , which is weird . Cleveland , baltimore

21:53

, nobody's hotter than

21:56

Cincinnati right now , and you have

21:58

arguably one of the best

22:00

quarterbacks of the league and Pittsburgh . I

22:02

don't know how they do it . I literally

22:04

have no idea how Pittsburgh does it .

22:07

But they're like five and two .

22:08

They're five and three , whatever they are .

22:10

It's crazy . It's cause it's called

22:12

good coaching . Yeah , if

22:14

you have an amazing coaching stuff like they do , that's

22:17

how you do it .

22:18

All four they have to have . There's all four good coaches in

22:20

that division . So I mean that's , that's . I

22:22

mean to me they are like head and shoulder

22:25

and like it's not even close to any other division . They're like just

22:27

, they're way better .

22:29

All right , let's not undersell like our last two teams

22:31

. Let's do our best we can to get this done . We

22:33

have Tricown Brawlers Justin

22:35

Fields , naji Harris , isaiah

22:38

Pacheco . We got Moore Higgins

22:40

, pittman , laporta , buckler

22:42

Smith , jalen

22:45

Hurst , judy Higgins

22:48

, swift . It's got a pretty solid

22:50

Logan Thomas on the bench

22:52

. Yeah , solid over up

22:54

and down lineup . Yeah

22:57

.

22:57

Like everybody in that lineup and stuff for Jerry Judy , cause he's he's

23:00

just a jag , he's just a

23:02

guy . But no , he's got guys , he's

23:04

got a . He's that tough roster decision to make every

23:06

week , I mean with the , you know , higgins

23:08

and Moore and Pittman , and he gave it to him , pickins

23:10

and that mix . You

23:13

know , that's a tough thing to do . I like

23:15

I think it was like I could have kept it a pretty cheap

23:17

price whatever . So

23:20

he's got decent running backs . Naji Harris

23:22

well , it's kind of a the running backs

23:24

are done is great , sorry , but

23:26

stronger wide receiver , stronger quarterback

23:29

. You know , with with Fields and Hurts , laporta

23:32

has been a revelation . I

23:34

think we might have made fun of a certain

23:36

player for picking up three

23:38

tight ends during the draft , and LaPorta was one

23:40

of them . Do you feel any regret dropping that guy ?

23:44

Do I feel regret dropping Kain and

23:46

LaPorta and caving

23:48

into the peer pressure of having three tight ends and

23:51

dropping the two rookie ones ? Yes , I do .

23:54

I mean , you know , he's only the fourth ring

23:56

that I did in football .

23:58

He has a record and what's Kain this week like top three

24:00

?

24:01

No , I'm not looking at overall . He's these fourth

24:04

overall .

24:05

I know I'm not talking about overall , but who's Ken

24:08

. Kates , who are the top five tight ends this week .

24:11

Oh , good question . I

24:13

don't know . I don't know . I'm not

24:15

looking at that part of the roster , but he's been good . He's

24:18

gonna wear 15 points the last three weeks . Ken Kates .

24:20

I'll tell you that the top five roster tight

24:23

ends . I probably had three of them .

24:27

Did you have Muscrate ?

24:28

I'm not bragging the fact , the fact that I had three tight

24:30

ends on my opening roster . Did

24:33

you get Muscrate too , or no ? I had Ken Kates

24:35

, I had Ken Kates , I

24:39

had Ken Kates at La Porta and

24:41

I had Ferguson .

24:45

You were the tight end Saban in the draft and

24:47

it just didn't work out . But , joey , tell us about

24:49

.

24:50

I had Ken Kates Saban . There's only one spot . It's

24:52

stupid to even carry more than one tight end .

24:54

Let's look at the picture . So seven and two , seven and two

24:56

of the two top teams you're gonna have for prime Shankers

24:59

and Slammers are five and four , and there are

25:01

five teams at

25:04

four and five . I mean talk

25:06

about parity . I mean , when we're talking

25:08

about who's gonna , I mean it didn't matter , it

25:10

was because there's a lot of guys that

25:12

are teams that are close . They were very , totally packed

25:14

.

25:15

But I will say this there are two that kept me up at night

25:18

for dropping . It's the Ken and La

25:20

Porta . If

25:22

I had those two staying in my roster right now , versus

25:24

the two that I picked up for them , oh

25:27

my goodness , I would have a great roster .

25:29

Yeah , mine is not keeping it to you and

25:32

dropping CJ Strat , which leads us to the

25:35

surprising last

25:37

place team , which is the Anink and the Suck-It

25:39

Self Nation . I'd

25:41

say it's surprising that I dropped CJ Strat and he went off for

25:43

, like the greatest fancy football , I

25:46

think , quarterback week of all time

25:48

. I believe I'm not really sure 51.8

25:51

fantasy points . I

25:54

know it because I was going against him in another league

25:56

. But

26:01

what's going on with that team ? I mean , he's always been a

26:03

pretty good contender .

26:05

He does not have a bad team . You look at CJ Strat . I

26:07

mean , obviously that's something of

26:09

a new revelation and so if

26:12

you're starting to see this Strat let's just put it this way that

26:14

means your quarterback situation probably wasn't very good . Yeah

26:18

, and not that CJ Strat going forward

26:20

isn't a good choice . But if you're going with

26:22

that choice , it was like roll a dice of

26:24

like one intense shot

26:27

that you might win , and he did . But

26:30

that's not something you go with normally . Madison

26:32

is not something like at the beginning

26:34

of the year . You're like okay , there's a solid guy that

26:36

might give me solid numbers , no big

26:39

deal . But he hasn't , unfortunately

26:41

. Actually , I'm kind of surprised by that . I

26:43

thought Madison was going to be better than he is . I think he's going to be

26:45

great , but I thought he'd be better . I

26:48

thought Tony Pollard had star power . He

26:51

has a team . Chris Goodwin was going to be solid

26:53

, but he's not . Alave , I thought could

26:55

be a stud . It's

26:58

not that he'd been bad , but he hasn't been great either

27:00

. Deontay

27:02

Johnson just started playing again and that's good

27:04

. He's been good . You know , george Kittle

27:06

, again a great tight end , has

27:09

a couple of games that have been good , but nothing like

27:12

overall , of course , this year .

27:14

If you look at this roster , they're going to see it and you probably go

27:16

, man . That's at least

27:18

a B plus .

27:20

Yeah , and there's nothing wrong with this

27:22

roster . There's a bunch of good players on it . This

27:24

is , unfortunately , a lot of those like

27:26

I would trade for some of those players , but

27:29

the problem is they just haven't been good this year , like

27:32

I shouldn't say the good , they haven't been great this year , if

27:36

that's some good games it's the bad games .

27:38

There's good news for Angus and himself . So he literally

27:41

lost his first eight

27:44

games . He

27:47

won his last game , beat the Narcissus Wine

27:49

Slingers . We have five

27:51

weeks left in the season . In a

27:54

weird way , he's not out of it

27:56

, nah he's got a

27:58

long run ahead of him but

28:01

he potentially could somehow sneak in

28:03

. Don't think it'll happen , but it could happen . So

28:05

, brian , he placed that roster

28:07

. He couldn't have a roster . You know it said you got a

28:09

chance still .

28:11

Okay , so let's finish this up . Who is

28:13

the one with the best roster that you think is

28:15

gonna win us all ?

28:19

That's a great question . I

28:24

really really like . I like Philly fast attacks

28:26

quite a bit . You know Lamar Jackson if he can at

28:28

the right time . I

28:31

really like the San Jose shankers . I think

28:33

there's this balance all around . So if

28:35

you're going to force me into one team just

28:37

looking at the rosters , they are now not to say it's going to

28:39

affect the outcome at all . I think I

28:41

like the shankers quite a bit .

28:44

Okay , I wouldn't disagree with that . I would put Napa

28:46

Prime in that whole category , those top three

28:48

. But I would

28:50

actually go with Philly fast attack . I think he's

28:52

going to make the playoffs and

28:55

I think he's going to excel because he's got a

28:57

top five tied in , he's got two

28:59

of the best receivers and

29:02

ironically , I think that's what's

29:04

going to take him to the top . Having

29:06

the two top receivers are going to be and

29:09

Sam on deck hasn't had a great year for

29:11

him . I can

29:13

see him going off and I just see his team being

29:16

the best . What

29:18

I look at Josh Jacobs , you know , rashon

29:20

White , I feel like are on the upswing

29:22

. Lamar Jackson top

29:24

three could be could be the top three quarterback

29:26

of the league . You have two of the

29:28

top receivers in the league . Josh

29:31

Jacobs and White are on the upside . I

29:33

just see Philly fast attack being the best .

29:36

But . But I'm about to put two more in there , just because

29:38

Alessandrovers , I

29:40

think , have also had a chance . I really do , really

29:42

do . And then Erkan Weinslinger . If

29:45

Derek Carter's 20 points a game , that's

29:48

going to be great for that roster , so it's

29:50

going to be , the point being that it ain't

29:52

over . There's a lot of football left

29:54

to play . This is week nine . We

29:57

have 14 weeks in the regular season . There's

30:00

plenty of time to come back and get cast

30:02

Okay .

30:03

So who's going to be last in the league ? Okay

30:06

.

30:07

That's a great question . It's either going

30:09

to be the Mustang ranchers or the inanked

30:11

second self nation .

30:13

Well , if you go by record , I think it's going to be in

30:16

not going to second safe nation . If

30:18

you go by playoffs , at the end I think it's going

30:20

to be the chai town Brawlers .

30:23

Okay .

30:24

I feel chai town . It kind

30:27

of falters in the playoffs .

30:30

I think he's bad because he took your tight end .

30:33

Oh , he liked my tight ends

30:35

, not just saying that the mess with

30:37

my game , but in part . But

30:40

like , uh , I do think it's up to self-dates going to

30:42

be last place by record Just

30:44

because there's not much chance there . We

30:46

only have like what's four weeks

30:48

left , something like that . Bring it

30:50

up , and that's pretty hard you can

30:52

get to . You just have to win like three of the next

30:54

four weeks to even not

30:57

be in last place .

30:59

Yeah . So last question ever you , how

31:01

are you going to uh , purchase ? So it's a couple

31:03

of weeks we're going to get together , but how are you going to watch

31:05

a fancy football this next coming

31:07

weekend ?

31:09

I don't know . I have no plans . I

31:12

don't know .

31:13

What about you ? I will be watching , because

31:15

I bought the package , because I'm a sucker and

31:17

so I was just be watching the package , probably on Sunday

31:19

. Don't even it's veterans a week in this weekend

31:22

, so thank you for our veterans , but uh

31:24

yeah , probably just watching

31:26

. And then , two weeks from now

31:28

or a week after that , we get together and I'm very

31:31

excited about that and I can't wait for . So

31:33

we had two bets . The two bets were DAK

31:36

versus JAWK

31:38

off . So that's , that was actually a true drink one

31:40

.

31:40

The drink one yes .

31:42

And the other one was Jaylin Warren versus

31:44

uh Devonte .

31:45

Adams .

31:46

So that's what we . We that's probably what you're when you're

31:48

beer back , but I'll have a beer balance probably

31:51

you still have a one-meals beer . Hey

31:55

, you know , my favorite beer is right .

31:58

Uh , anything in your hand .

31:59

Yes . You got it , you

32:02

got it . I said it enough times .

32:04

All right , my friend , I

32:07

love you . It's been . This is the single-sale

32:09

Spanish football . Can't probably get on going on for

32:11

is 11th hour . Um

32:14

and I'm three

32:16

, four whiskeys deep now . Well

32:21

, that's it Anyway . Uh , any last

32:23

words . Love you long time , Peace

32:25

.
