The gumption. He's a pistol. I think I would take juju. Yeah, I would take juju too. And for your Green Bay discussion, Robert Tunyon is a restricted free agent. So Green Bay has got to figure out some stuff. That means he can sign with another team, but he can't leave his room. Right. There's a couple restrictions on what he can do. He's got an ankle monitor. It's not nice. All right.

This question cracks me up, just reading it, because I feel like I can step into your shoes, Mr. Ryan Stern, with this question, and know how you're feeling? Not because I'm experiencing it, but because I've experienced it with other players. Is there a landing spot for Lev Bell that would give his dynasty value a boost? Oh, you're waiting for us to save your bacon right now. You want us to give you the magic, a magic word of how Lev Bell...

That bell is done, guys. Yeah, there is, so he, the answer to your question is absolutely not when it comes to fantasy production, but maybe when it comes to being able to unload him for something. And that means if he signs anywhere, if he gets any contract, if he gets a contract with any team at any point in time, he is on the block and you move him for. And we want to be clear.

Maybe you ask for that second. Oh, you ask and you're not going to get it. But then you accept the third. And I want to be clear, when he signs with the Argonauts, you need to just say, Lev Bell signed and then go try to trade him. Yeah, I'll accept a four. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, that's coming from somebody who knows that they have an asset that is expiring. D. Expiring D.

Instagram question from Sawyer Van Swirp. What do you think Austin Echler's ceiling is? Very, very short, I imagine. Oh, it's a short guy joke. Oh, great friend of the show, Austin Echler. You're going to do him dirty like that? We love you, Austin. We do. But you're not super tall.

That is also true. However, he can jump. He could fight the three of us. Oh, yeah. If I could choose him as a weapon for the Battle Royale, I would choose Austin Xx. The three of us? Yes. If we brought in both producers, both programmers, you got our customer service guy, and we flew in Kyle Borgo Gnogony to do. I mean, we could have the whole team here, and I would not choose the field.

I would choose. I'd put the helmet on. That's for sure. And you would still lose. I'll take the table. How are we feeling about Austin Echler right now? We didn't get to see a lot of them last year. And, you know, this is Justin Herbert's team now. I'd still feel great about Echler. He's, he's a great player. He is in an excellent opportunity where he's got the money. And they know what his skill set is. He has already been unlocked. So the ceiling for Echler is a top five running back.

I don't think he's top five. You don't think he can hit top five? You don't think that's in his ceiling? I don't think that that is in his ceiling. What was he two years ago? Well, I'm saying for this version of the team for 2021 with Justin Herbert's world with a better improved defense that's not super injured, I think he is a solid, safe.

high floor running back, especially with the passing volume that he gets. I'm looking at his game logs and his fantasy finishes when he had Justin Herbert, and he was very consistent. He never had terrible games, never busted, but listen to the fantasy finishes. Running back eight, running back 27, running back nine, running back 29, running back 17, running back 18. Every week he's good. Yeah, that's great. Exactly. But that's not a top five type of back.

That's not a back. If you do that every single week. Jason's right about that. When you're talking about the top five and you're talking about the guys who are. He's not an RB1 for your team with those numbers. I think a low in RB1 is okay there. But when you look at the top five guys who finish at running backs, they're constantly almost every week top 10 finishers. Phil is gone, Mike. Phil is. Oh, I know. P. River is dried up. Drained. Yeah.

I understand. Justin likes to throw it down field. Yeah, but I mean, you. That's no disrespect to Austin Echler. He's going to be a good player. But I think we really did see the fantasy maximization of Austin Echler with Philip Rivers. I mean, here as a comparison, the running neck five from this last season was Aaron Jones. And his fantasy finishes are 12, 1, 13, 8, 15. You know, they're all.

you know, a heavier green on our website than the back and forth teams finish. But you do have consistency. You do have a floor. You're never going to have a bad game from someone who can catch the ball if you're down and be a part of the reason why you're up. I'm going to give you a chance. Anything else to add or are you good? No. All right. What's your least? We're going to end it with this one. Twitter question from nobody. That's their name.

Oh. What's your least favorite of the nicknames that you three have ever developed for players on the show? Oh, that's easy. Is it Turok? No. You're going to go with the best name ever. Tarek the Darnel Anderson. Oh, you've always hated that. Because it is an embarrassment to the man. He's better than that. To the man Darnel or the...

If you don't know, Darnel Anderson is the nickname for Daryl Henderson. It is just another man's name, which I see your point. It's embarrassing. It is confusing, and then we start using it. And I don't know what his name is anymore. I just want him drafted. That's Mike, Mike, Jason, I just want Darnel Anderson drafted. Anderson is better than this. I can tell you that, that mine has become, like I actually loved the nickname when we made it. I'm talking about smooches.

Jady McKissick. You've just brought it on. I know, but what I don't like about Jady McKissick's new nickname is, and we're all waiting for it here. We're just, we're... I think that's why we're not getting it. Yeah, I know, because... Oh, there it is. There it was. That drop has made me not want to bring up his name. It's a little scary. His new name is he who shall not be named. I thought you used to really hate Tarek the dinosaur hunter. Oh, Turok, it was bad. Turok the dinosaur hunter, but...

I think the listeners were okay with it. Some of them were. Which is really the peak of any nickname. Be okay with it. Just keep listening. All right.
