Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. Happy Tuesday, Jason. Oh, yes, it is. Just two dudes, and we're having a good time. Just going to be a great day. What's going on, Foot Clan, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and a big cardboard bear with you this fine July 6th.

morning, afternoon, whenever you're listening. It's nice to be back with you, Jason. Yes, it's good to have you here. It's going to be, I don't know why, but today's going to be a great day. Bounceback players on today's show. That's not why. Oh, it isn't? I mean, the bounce back picks are incredible. Okay, but is it Jay Gris related? I mean, he's. Not really. Is it because Mike's not here that we're celebrating? That's closer, warmer.

But no, Mike would have a great time here in Arizona, in Phoenix, the land of the sun. The suns are in the finals. Shut your mouth! Shut! You shed your mouth! We've waited 28 years! Yeah, it's a 28-year wait. You can wait a week of us talking about the suns.

Oh, baby! How are you feeling? I'm feeling sons in four, baby. And for all my Bucks fan friends out there, I know there's a lot of you listen to your Bucks fans, you're all stupid! You're all dumb and you're going to lose. But we love you, and thank you for listening and supporting the show. We could talk about fantasy football now. Okay, you got it out. For a bit. Yeah, there's a game tonight, so we'll be there. Yes, we'll be there. Yes, we will.

With bells on. Yep, for sure. I really enjoyed Jason as the voice of public opinion and immediately yelling back at yourself. Yes. I have lots of personalities in here. Well, and people had been waiting for.

I mean, maybe not everyone, but waiting for the reaction. And we had a couple of shows that we had pre-recorded. Mike was going out of town. You didn't get to see the visceral response. And the last time on the main show that we did call our shot on a pre-recording did not work out so well. So just to be clear, we are currently hated by Lakers fans. Right. Nuggets fans.

Less so. Clippers fans. Correct, which is great because that's a two-for-one on cities. Right. Because it's just Los Angeles. Okay, we're out. And then the Bucks fans, obviously, there are a lot of them. There are a lot of them. But the nice thing about, you know, look, up there in Milwaukee. Fear the deer, they say. Fear the, yeah, right. I'm building buck on her as soon as I get home. Jason is, you know, we just need to win. Yeah, we're going to need that.

But we do have bounce back players for fantasy football on today's show. We've got NFL news to talk about a dynasty download we're going to get into.

You can check that out, join the foot.com. What a day.

What a day. I hope it's a great ending to this day. I do too. News and notes from around the league presented my sleeper. Al Borland is not, we won't force him onto the microphone this morning. I mean, he gave me the thumbs up as he is recovering from some surgery that he got done that has made his voice sound like he's a different person. However, he wanted me to.

Let the Bucks fans know that Bambi's not that scary to him. Nice. That was his one-liner. I was going to mock your voice, but that was the voice of a champion. All right. The Falcons have signed number four overall pick. Kyle Pitts to a four-year $32.9 million contract. No big deal. It's just more fully guaranteed money than any tight-in in the NFL. He doesn't even need to perform, Jason. No, no, Andy. He sure really doesn't.

He does not need to perform. It's fully guaranteed. That's what it means. So if he flames out, he'll get his money and run. He's not going to flame out. He's great. I still, obviously, we've talked at nauseam, but newer listeners are coming back as we get closer to football season. I still think Kyle Pitts is being overblown for redraft. I love him in Dynasty. But this year.

He's, I mean. We'll find out. We'll find out what the draft. Because right now, we can look at ADPs. He's fifth round pick. I'm like, whatever. You can take the shot on a top five tight in there with Kyle Pitts if you believe he could do that. But what will he be in August? If he's a fifth round pick in August, that's way too high for me. So you find that draft position. Like, I don't think he's going down. I doubt Kyle Pitts.

The athletic freak that he is. Exactly right. I doubt we get into training camp and we see video and we get into preseason and we see video of, you know. Rookies always go up the closer to the season, always. So he'll be a fourth round pick. Yeah. So at the very lowest, if you're drafting now, or maybe he doesn't rise, but the lowest he will be is a fifth round pick. And like you said, you said, well, if you want to take a shot at that. Can we get fully guaranteed production like his contract?

No, no, we can't. And that's the problem. He is still a rookie. I know that that's like I'm not allowed to say that about Kyle Pitts. How dare you? Thank you. But the reality is in order for a fifth round pick at Titan to pay off, like let's say he finishes as the Titan 5. That is a terrible pick in the fifth round. Because Titan 5, 6, 7, like I remember I had Trey Burton as a my guy several years ago. He finished the year as the Titan 7.

And he was worthless. Mark Andrews gives you Mark Andrews stuff in the fifth round. Well, when you say Mark Andrews, that was the Titan two season when he had a ton of touchdowns. That's the Mark Andrews's name you're talking about. If he has a top three season, then a fifth round pick pays off. But if he's tight in six, seven, that is, it might sound good on paper. And at the end of the year, you and Michael be like, oh, you didn't like the tight end six. But through the year, you'd be like, yes, it's mostly unusable. So are you calling for a pit stop?

Is that what you're saying? Yes, I am. And well done. I give that a seven. All right. Dallas Cowboys were selected to appear on the five episode Hard Knocks for 2021. Brooks, how are you feeling about your hometown team, your favorite team, I should say, appearing on Hard Knocks? Are you ready to see this dysfunction up close? No, I don't think they should do that. Do you want them, I mean, the storylines are great.

It is funny to think like if... The return of DAC? Oh, the return of DAC. The update on just more information on Zeke is he still got it, which of course, spoiler alert, he'll have it on Hard Knocks. Like everything will... Can they fit his head onto the screen? Is that a thing that you do? Yeah, they've got white angles now. It's great. This is the third time that the Cowboys have now been on Hard Knocks.

So they are a favorite of the program. But the hard knocks bump, players don't go down. They go up. You know, once you get a little bit extra exposure and play and the media, it'll be, quote, unquote, good for the value of Dak, Amari, Seedy, Zeke. They'll all get a hard knocks bump and rise up a little bit. Cowboys running backs coach, Josh Hicks.

Says Zeke is way quicker, way more elusive, more fluent than he was. Oh, his fluency is outstanding. I haven't heard that one. You know, his use of the English language is just amazing. So you care about that statement from the Cowboys running backs coach at all? Not really. I care.

Is it a way of conceding that last year he wasn't those things? He wasn't quick. He wasn't elusive. He wasn't fluent. Right. That is in a way saying that he looks better now than he did last year, so he didn't look as good last year, factual, logical, you know, train of math, as they say. Yeah, they weren't content with what he did last year. Right. And so the truth is what we want from Zeke this year is for him to be quicker, more elusive, more fluent. More fluent. I assume that means in the offense or something.

Yeah, I would hope so. His Spanish is off the charts. He's downloaded Babel and he is a little 15-minute blurbs. They're working wonders. But you don't take any of this because what do you think the running back coach is going to say? Oh, Zeke's a bum. Right. You know, it's like it's always. This is why we say look for the bad news, not the good news from training camps. Right. Because the good news is there's plenty of it. Yeah, everyone looks great. Speaking of which.

Daniel Popper of the athletic reporting that Chargers offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi is excited about Mike Williams' skill set and expects him to be featured as the X in the offense. Well, Mike, Joe Lombardi and Jason Moore are very similar in the sense that we're excited about his skill set and expect him to be featured as the team's X. I mean, that was, right? Isn't that what we already expected coming into the season? He's the clear outside wide receiver for the team. It's just a matter for fantasy is.

Can he actually stay healthy and not just, you know, play games, but be healthy while he's on the field? Brought him up as a potential sleeper. We talked about him in recent weeks. So, you know, he's got the pedigree, size, skill, has to stay healthy. We all love Justin Herbert. There is potential there.

And he's like a, he's one of your last picks right now. Yeah. And when I look at the last picks in drafts, there's very few people that check all of those boxes that you said. And the number one box to me is Justin Herbert. The fact that you have a guy tied to an up and coming quarterback that could come out this year and throw 38 touchdowns. And if he does, Mike Williams has a great season. Let me ask you, Mike Williams, late, late round pick or.

Another player connected to a great quarterback, MVP candidate. Derek Carr? No, I'm talking about Emmanuel Sanders in Buffalo, who replaces John Brown in that role in the offense. We haven't talked almost at all, not a whisper, about Emmanuel Sanders this offseason. Would you rather take the shot on Mike Williams with Justin Herbert or Sanders in the offense you know is going to throw the ball a ton in Buffalo?
