Bold Predictions for 2021 + Cam Cut, The Pirate Life - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/31

I'm like 33 years old now. That's what I was going to say. He is older now, but Antonio Brown's true success in the NFL has been as a tactician, has been as an elite separator, a guy that has several release moves off the line. He is a better athlete than his measurable. Like if you go back and look at his 40 and stuff, he's actually faster than that on the field. But.

He is a top tier wide receiver because he learned the craft. It's not because he's just bigger, strong. He's not D.K. Metcalf, I'm faster and bigger than you. That's how I beat you. Antonio Brown's a small guy. The Jerry Rice's and Larry Fitzgeralds, they're just great at football. They know what the D.Bs are doing. They know what the defense is doing. They know how to set up their routes. And they are great. I personally...

Love the value of Antonio Brown in drafts. He's definitely one of my usual mid-late round targets. So I'm fine with this. And also, I mean, he's over a decade younger than his quarterback. So he, I mean, in the eyes of Brady, he's a spring chicken. It's funny because Godwin is almost a decade younger than Brown. So I'd be. Goodness. If Antonio Brown is a better wide receiver than 25-year-old Chris Godwin, Mike will be the bold king of the year. All right. I like it.

You have been in the Antonio Brown camp all off season. And I've definitely, it's definitely giving me pause when we're doing these drafts and you think about him late. Like what if that's true and what you're getting? Because this is a bold prediction show. Let me put it this way. Tom Brady, if he had, if Antonio Brown is anything close to what you're saying, this is, this is one of the best offenses in history. Yeah. Like legitimately, he has a great offensive line, three elite.

Wide receivers. Like, legitimately, think about it. All three of these guys have finished in the top three in fantasy. Am I right? Yes. Brown's been one many times. Godwin was two. I'm pretty sure Evans has been in that range before. I'm not sure as high as finished, but yes, Mike, no one's going to argue that Mike Evans, who's had a thousand yards every year of his career. Yeah, I think they're looking. Mike Evans has been the number two overall. There you go. So you've had, you've had three players that might still all be in their prime.

Close to it. Gronk has been pretty valuable in his own right time to time. And also, if you've watched preseason first team snap counts, because I had some questions with OJ. Howard coming back. Gronk is interesting. We have not brought his name up almost at all through this off-season process. But, oh, we could add that to the conk. We shouldn't.

Yeah, but he is interesting. I mean, you want a guy who could catch a touchdown. Obviously, a lot of mouths defeating this offense. And this is why we like Brady because we might not know who's going to get at this game, but Brady gets it all. Absolutely. So I like it. It's going to be a very interesting year. Bold predictions. Finished. All right. We want to thank Trigger Grills. Yeah, we do. Oh, man, I do. We just had a, the greatest draft we've ever had.

Trigger Grills came out. Trigger Grills cooked up. Chadward cooked up. Ribs. Burnins. Burnins. Some peach cobbler. Some beans, some potatoes. I hate to say beans I've ever had in my life. I didn't know. Big beans could be something special. Two-day recovery, right? I am not recovered, Andy. Well, I'll let you know how long it takes, but it was every single thing was smoked on a Trigger. Your taste buds will be winning every week with that delicious Trager wood-fired grill.

On game day, unlike reaching for a quarterback in the second round, there's no risk when you cook on a Traeger. Set it, forget it. Maintain constant temperatures. Perfect results for every cook. And they got Wi-fire, Mike. Wi-fire. You see the play on words with Wi-Fi and fire how it combines for Wi-fire? You know I love technology. You know I love a good pun. And we have a perfect fusion right here. You get to step away from the grill and then monitor everything, the grill temperatures. You can browse hundreds of recipes that they have.

Right on your phone, and you can grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise, barbecue, cook all day, every game day. Burgers, wings, brisket, brownies? Okay, I'm in. Trigger grills are fueled by all natural hardwood pellets that give you real wood-fired flavor in every bite. Go ahead and lock in a Trigger grill in your lineup by heading to Trager.com slash footballers today. Look, we know you're thinking about it. Should I get the Trigger? Yeah.
