Frank rips Gase hire, Inside Injuries with Dr. A, and more...

listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Fantasy best Friends Forever, m to to to to to to to to to to to Yeah, is as the Fantasy best Friends Forever here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside of Frankie Standfell. I am Greg Sussman. That's going on, mud? Are you doing? Greg? All right? All right? And a nice little spry smile on your face. I do. I'm all right, been better, you know. I feel today kind of the opposite of when we were together, when Eli Manning got benched, and

then now I would love for Elie Manny avench. But I made us come on here on the air for a special Redux episode of the BFFs. Just like a stare at a camera, invent my frustration, and it wasn't the fact that Eli was going to be benched, but the invention of for Gina Smith, who clearly never had a you know, I never had a future of the Giants wasn't a long term answer. And today, with the New York Jets naming Adam Gaze the head coach, I feel like you. I feel kind of similar to me.

So what I want to do is exactly what you did to me. I'm gonna turn my Micael off. I'm gonna shut up and listen, and then I'll chime in when you're done. So please go to camera three here, take it away, Frank example. All right, if you're watching the morning after, you got a little preview of what's about to happen. I'm gonna give you my thoughts on Adam Gates going to the New York Jets. You saw me on Twitter last night. I'm very happy. Uh. It was one of the worst nights I would say as

a sports fan legitimately. And look, the guy hasn't done anything yet with the Jets, but what we've seen that of him from Miami is you replaced one coach in the a f C East who had a below five record over the past four or five years. You replace him with another coach from the a f C East who was twenty three and twenty five. Five of those wins came against the New York Jets. That must be the reason why they signed him. Yeah, he could beat the Jets. Everyone beats the New York Jets. You take

those five wins away. He's eighteen and twenty five. The Miami Dolphins needed Adam Gates most this year. The team was seven and six. Prime to go on a run, try and make the playoffs. Surprise the world right us in Minnesota seventeen US at Jacksonville Jaguars that had given up on the season, seventeen seven at home. You loose to the Buffalo Bills within the division, who he's also going to be playing with, the New York Jets. Josh

Allen and the Buffalo Bills forty two to seventeen. I just don't understand why this guy is continues to get jobs based on Peyton Manning throwing for fifty five touchdowns with him as his offensive coordinator. He's Peyton Manning. He doesn't need an offensive coordinator. Peyton Manning would get a play call to him. You know what he would do. Omaha, Omaha, check out the line. Call whatever he wants. Anyway, he threw fifty five touch on he threw were five thousand yards.

That that's not thanks to add him Gaze. We have clowns on Twitter, the Jets beat. This is a great higher. This is a quarterback whisperer. There's a guy who can develop quarterbacks. Somebody showed me. Somebody showed me when he developed a quarterback. I asked, you know, Corey on on the morning after he said, Jay Color, Jay Cutler played pretty well. Jake Color through for thirty yards and twenty

two touchdowns. Give me, give me his passerrating well, he had a ninety three point five passerrating the best of his career. What does that mean Adam Gates can develop a quarterback because Jay Cutler through twenty two touchdowns and eleven interceptions. You got Jake Color to throw more touchdowns than interceptions. And this is what makes Adam Gaze a quarterback whisper He helped helped Hayton Manning throw fifty five touchdowns and five thousand yards. This was the biggest higher

in Jets history. They haven't had a franchise quarterback since Joe Namath. If you want to call him a franchise quarter yea helped a team win a Super Bowl in nine. Look at his numbers. He wasn't very good. He helped the team win. Sure, he wasn't good. This team has had a franchise quarterback in forty fifty years. They finally have one, Sam Donald, biggest higher in Jets history. You hire a coach from Miami. We just went twenty three and twenty five over three years. You're gonna sit here

and tell me you never had a quarterback. He's supposed to develop the quarterback. That's that's supposed to be his thing. Even if you want to throw records out the window, right, you want to look at what he does as an offensive mind niche meta, you got the creative offensive mind that you need, Jets fans, Let you gonna put this guy's name in the same sentence, the same paragraph, the

same essay as Sean McVeigh. This is from a rich sumini cumulative stats while with his time in Miami in scoring thirty one, in yards per game, in yards per play, in total QBR, in red zone efficiency, in point differential, with the biggest higher and Jets franchise history. This is who you go out to get and developed, Sam Donald. This is the guy that's going to take you to the next level, the guy that pushed Jarvis Landry out of town, great offensive weapon. What did they do after that?

And he stills, Yeah, he had a great year and Drake the most dynamic offensive playmaker for the Dolphins? What did he do? This here got out touched by Frank Gore thirty five years old. Not to mention, I didn't even got to the media yet. How is this guy going to react to the media? Von if you if you can queue that up, this is how he responded when they were asking him questions about Ryan Tannehill's injury.

How is he going to respond when you know people are questioning him when he gets off to an oh and sixth start, wont to hit me some kind of like hippo r or something or something like that, and can talk about I don't know, I don't know. I don't sit there and ask him all these questions and I just know what the guy whouldn't go today, all right, go ask him. I'm sorry of answering this question about this guy. I got it, but you know, what I'm over it. Me and him. We know that he's not

right right now. Okay, the details of it, we'll keep that to us. You guys don't need to know that. It's great. It's a great relationship with Ryan Tannehill. He's gonna work. Wonders with Sam Donald last night coming out, Sam Donald FaceTime with Adam Gates, had a great conversation. Hayton Manning called. Hayton Manning called Chris Johnson, Mike mcadnon vouched for Adam Gates. He also did the same thing when Adam Gates was about to sign with the Miami Dolphins.

Didn't work, didn't help. You know, Peyton Manning could have called last night or the other day, whenever he called. He could have called in and told Chris Johnson and Michaelagnan, No, Ron, Jeremy's good at his job, why don't you bring him in. They would have done it because Peyton Manning told him to do it. You have Matt Rule, who at Baylor and Temple turned turned around programs. You want to look at his his record overall, it wasn't great thirty six

and forty. Look at what he did when he inherited the Temple program to and ten in his first season. By the time he leaves there two thousand sixteen, their ten and three. He inherits the Bailor program first season one and eleven, very next year seven and six. All Right, the guy hasn't coached up a quarterback. He actually has coached both sides of the football. He's coach defense, he's coached offensive lines, the leader of men. You've that guy is shot. You don't hire him because he wants to

bring in his own staff. That's what head coaches do. He wanted to bring in a staff from the college ranks like mcagney didn't like that. Chris Johnson didn't like that. They wanted him to sign who they wanted to sign. Said, we get Adam Gaze and wait for it, dwell La gains the past two guys that these coaches worked under, where John Fox? It was John Fox in Chicago. Why is he out of the league. Why are we talking

about him as a dinosaur. He's gone Now everyone's trying to find Sean McVeigh and we're hiring fourty year old John Fox and his whatever jockey. Dwell La gains everyone on Twitter last night, anyone who knows anything about football, right, those smart dudes Evan Silva laughing at the Jets, all these guys that world to world laughing at the Jets. Everyone's laughing at the Jets. You take a failure in Miami and you put him in New York. What do

you think Bill Belichick thinks? Right now? Everything like it's a it's a carousel in the a f C. It's a it's a carnival. Rex Ryan leaves the Jets, goes to the Bills, Adam Gates leaves a Dolphins, goes to the Jets. It's just it's ridiculous. And you know what, more than anything, Greg, there's politics behind this. Like everything in the world, anywhere that you go, there's politics. Right.

Mike mccagnet doesn't sign McCarthy. This is me, This is me speculating, Right, He doesn't sign McCarthy because McCarthy has more clout than mccagnet. Right, So if McCarthy comes in and they fail, mccagnet's gone because they trust McCarthy more because he's done it before. You don't trust the GM who's twenty four and forty in his career with the Jets, who drafted Christian Hackenburg in the second round. You don't

trust him. You trust the guy Mike McCarthy who won a Super Bowl with the Packers, who developed Aaron Rodgers. And I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I love Matt McCarthy because if you Mike McCarthy, because if you listen all week, I didn't love him like more than that m caze if he comes in and doesn't perform, Mike mccownen. Mc mccagnan's out after year one, and then McCarthy and Chris Shohn's together they try and finding the

GM together whatever. Chris Johnson doesn't know what he's doing either. I mean, he's he's filling in as part of the ownership, because whatdy Johnson is out there doing whatever Donald Trump wants him to do, which I'm I don't even know anything about that. Maybe you that's great about that. I don't know anything about that. But it's clear they don't know how to hire a head coach because you get Todd Bowls and now you get Adam Gaze, and you have all these guys in the media humping it up

to Adam Gates. Is another Hugh Jackson that's exactly what he is. Hugh Jackson. Nobody in the media media will say a bad word about Hugh Jackson. Like, yes, friends, all in the media, everyone wants to Like all these people in the Old Guard want to talk up Hugh Jackson. They do the same thing with Adam Gys go on Twitter. The only people who are saying bad things about Adam Gaze other people who don't have to deal with him.

I's like Evan Silva and guys who are are forward thinking NFL analysts right now, fantasy football analysts who know where the game is going. Right now, they're laughing at the Jets. Everyone else. There's a good hire for the for the Jets, Adam Gage the quarterback. He's gonna do a great job with Sam Brow When when did he do it? When did he do it? Greg? I'll open

it up to you right now. The last thing I'll ask you if you needed to have surgery and and the doctor you were going to had failed to surgeries in a row. But everyone else you talk to tells you how great this guy is. You're gonna go g to surgery from that guy? And what does it mean for their fantasy value? I wish I could tell you. Look at the Dolphins, what they've done. I read you the stats. What does it mean for their fantasy value? I'll tell you what it means for their fantasy value.

Seven in scoring over the past three years, thirty one in yards per game over the past three years. This past season, they ran the fewest offensive plays in the NFL. They were the slowest team in terms of pace. So what does it mean for fantasy value? You could kiss Chris turning goodbye. He's probably gonna be dealing with a suspension because he guilty to a d W I. We'll probably bringing in I don't know, they're bringing like Dallas Clark out of retirement, make him the starting tight end

over Chris Herndon, promising young tight end Robbie Anderson. He's gone to be fair. Chris Herndon was arrested. Her do you suspending this? Okay? I just said that. Well, I understand that. But that's why they're gonna send Alas Clark. Yeah, for two games, but then he's gonna start the rest of the season. They're not gonna get Levion Bell. Now, why does Levian Bell want to play it? Under Adam Gaze? They could bring in Frank Gore and give him more

work too. Just embarrassing. It's embarrassing on so many levels. They did this because you know, McCarthy probably wants some power over personnel decisions. They came out the day after the season ended and said, we're still gonna have this power structure where everything reports to Mike mccagnet and Chris Johnson. Yeah, let's not do anything different because that's gotten the Jets so far over the past couple of seasons. Not to

do anything different. Everything reports to Mike mccagney and Chris Johnson quarterback whisper. Thank you for whispering that to me, It's a joke, Rack. I couldn't sleep last night. I don't know what time I fell asleep. I don't know how much sleep I got. Is that crazy? I don't think so. The only way I could describe this to you was imagine the Giants right now fired Pat s Shermer and resigned Ben McAdoo. That's the only way that I can put this into words to try and make

you understand how I feel. This is the worst possible end, the worst. I want someone to call in and tell me how this is good. Anybody if you're a Jet fan of football fan, which quarterback did he develop? There's no evidence, and you have guys like Miniche Meadow pumping this stuff out. Great higher rejoice, Jet fans. You finally got it right. What did they get right? Who did he develop? If he didn't develop anybody? That can the media stop calling this guy QB whisper or he has

the ability to develop a quarterback. He hasn't done that. That's because he gets twenty two touchdowns out of j color. Doesn't mean you developed a quarterback you didn't like Ryan Tannhill, didn't draft the quarterback and develop him in Miami. Oh you Greg? Sorry, Frankie, I'm sorry you're upset. Let's go Chargers. Really. He once told me that if Adam Gaze the head coach of the New York Jets, you would no longer be a Jet fan, just saying I want to burn

my same donald. How does this work? How does it work? The well Gainst whatever his name is, care's what his name is? He actually interviewed with the Giant's head coach at and as corner. Here's how you feel about Adam Gaze. Here's my issue. Besides literally everything you mentioned when Reed shreads are hired as head coaches. There's a reason theoretically, right, like they learned something the last time they were a head coach. They've grown up. From the looks of things,

I don't. I don't know that Adam Gaye has learned anything. When you hire a head coach immediately after they get fired, it doesn't usually work out. Yeah, you can absolutely point to Andy Reid, and I understand that Andy Reid is the rare exception to the rule. But when you point out a guy like a Bill Belichick, you want to point out a guy like Pete Carroll, you wanna point out plenty of other pat Shermer talking about the Giants, right, there's a lot of space in between when they were

head coaches. Rex Ryan was hired by the Bills days after the Jets fired him work at miserably. Why he didn't learn anything. He's stubborn, And all I have seen from Adam Gaye is that he is stubborn. He's going to do what he wants. He's bringing in the same offensive coordinator, potentially the same defensive coordinator. What's changing? What is going to be different between the state in Miami and he's in New York. I want to see the quarterback.

That's fine, maybe he will develop. Seve Donald's the only reason he's year And if he doesn't, it's a massive, massive failure in the part of the New York Jets. Here some more reasons why I don't like it on the other side. But first, before we do that, dr a of the Inside Injuries will join us. Stick around more for the fantasy best Friends forever.

I am here without a video, so we see you talk to raise black and white. I like it, vintage field, I don't know everything like it. Every time we get dog it's something new. But you know what, I'll say this, it's better than it looks kind of. He looks good. To be honest with you, I'm all right,

uh doc. As we turned back the clock to nineteen sixty, UM, I gotta I have to ask you know a lot of these players that are on UM on today's sheet we've talked about before, but now it's all real, right right now they're playing and Jim SNAs over at number fire dot com our buddy. He said, Hey, kind of like, Sammy Watkins does the value play this week? And I'm like, you are a massa kiss you want to burn money? What is wrong with you? Sammy Watkins? Practice this week?

The chance he plays this weekend, how effective will we be? Yeah. So from all of his original injuries that he's had, especially with his foot, you know, he injured on week nine, he missed ten to return week eleven and he got hurt again and then the good news is that there's no stress fracture or any full thickness ligament or tendant tear. So that's good. So he finally recovered from from this particular injurjury. He's back up to peak HPF, so he's

at which is peak in our book. Unfortunately, he's at twenty three percent chance injury risk, so it's almost one in a quarter of sustaining another injury in the next game. But he if you're just talking about recovery from the current injury that he has, he has recovered. So you know, if you want to flip the you know, roll the dice with him. Um, the only thing you have to worry about is his his him picking up another injury, uh, the same one or you know, another injury in the

next game. It's one in a four, one one in a quarter chance. I'll tell you right now, we're gonna have the BFF contest. Sammy Wins will not be in my line up. Really, I feel like you could put you know, they're expecting snow in Kansas City and none of that could affect the passing game. Obviously could affect the kicking game as well. So Damie Williams being lineup, Um, maybe we'll see, we'll see what happens. I haven't looked that far into it yet, but Sammy Watkins probably not

gonna be one of them. Even when he was in the lineup this year, you know, he was pretty inconsistent, a little bit touchdown dependent. It was hard to predict when he was going to go off and when he wasn't pretty much standard Sammy Watkins. But dr let's let's move on to another player that will likely be in a lot of lineups this week. That's Todd Gurley, who has been limited this week in practice due to this knee injury. Now he sat out the final two weeks

of the regular season. He had the week the bye week to get healthy as well, so we're now looking at three weeks where he got to rest. But Sean McVeigh has already come out and said, you know, you're probably see some of Todd Gurley and C. J. Anderson. Do we expect Todd Gurley to get the full workload? And how healthy is he at this point? Yes? And yes he's healthy. So the good everything is pointing very good for Todd Gurley. I feel like the you know,

the RAMS have listened to us over the last several weeks. Um. You know, we we recommended him sitting out and resting, uh, and that's resulted in great numbers for him. He's at low injury risk at eleven and he's at peak held above eight UM. So he's fully recovered in our opinion, and all of this sort of limited practice, etcetera. It's just precautionary. They need this guy to be at his peak performance, you know, when he takes and when he

steps onto the field. So Todd Gurley has recovered, according to our according to our algorithm, from this great two knee injury because they've they've done everything that literally we have said to you guys on the air, uh, in order to get him back, you know, to these types of metrics. So he should be really good to go. That's obviously fantastic. You tell Gurley himself has said he's not dr Ray, You've obviously said he should be ready to go. I've told you this, Frankie's gonna get the

full Worker's just do his thing. I'm not worried about Todd Gurley, so you're not. You're also not worried about C. J. Anderson getting worked in a little bit more than usual because normal procedure for the Rams running backs would be Todd Gas five times per game. Malcolm Brown, he would have got it like five times a game. And I think that's what you'll say. Nine dollar price tag on fandals,

so obviously the highest price running back. You have Zeke right behind him, and you have Alvin Kamar right behind him as well. It's just a big price tag, price tag to pay in this matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. It's interesting both Gurley and Mahomes I believe priced at nine thousand dollars this week, the two most expensive players on the board, or Patrick Mahomes and Todd Gurley. Talking to dr a from inside injuries back in the nineteen

sixties here. And the other big name player that is banged up this week, he's Melvin Gordon, who's battled some knee issues towards the end of the season. Missed a couple of games, came back, hurt his other knee. Uh, played in the wild card game, hurt the knee again, missed a couple of plays, came back, has not practiced yet this week. What's going all Melvin got right? Yeah, this is stay away from Melvin Gordon. Uh, you know message. Um, you know he's at thirty four percent chance of sustaining

another injury. He's at forty three percent HPF and so you know he's just Melvin Gordon has in our opinion, you know, sort of been mismanaged in that sense. And you know there's with this mc l s brain and then the ankle injury, and then the exacerbation and worsening of and reactivation of all these injuries throughout this whole season. Um. You know it really right now, even from this injury,

we he shouldn't be playing in this game. Um, And he's going to play, and he's trying to get he's going to get on the field, but thirty four percent chance of injury risk is just way too high for me to take him. I don't know about you, guys, but it's that's pretty high. The chances that he gets banked on one of three chances every time he touches the ball that you know he could get dinged up and you know have to leave the game well, be permanent.

It is definitely risky. I will say, you know, if you're playing like GPT, GPPs or tournaments se so on a per game basis, when he plays, he's pretty much right on par or maybe a little bit behind in terms of production with Todd, Gurley and Zeke. He's a little bit behind, but the salary is way way down and I have to do you're saving like d dollars. It just depends how risk averse you are when it comes to setting your deal correct. And this is a guy that may win you a million dollars this weekend

by playing him and having him go off right. And these are the type of guys that you put in there that definitely has risky, Bob, but he could pay off in huge dividends. You asked me about C. J. Anderson's a second ago playing with Todd Gurley, a much more concerned with Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson's role. Given how banged up Melvin clearly is and playing the Patriots, you know the Chargers are gonna be secretive. I'm staying

away from Melvin Gordon this week. I guess I am more risk averse than than some other people would be. And it's gonna be super cold in that game. I think the weather they've kind of backed off the snow. It it's not it's not gonna snow in that game, but it is expected to be sub thirty degrees out there in Foxboro, so probably a lot of I think you could expect a fair amount of run game on both sides of the ball. Here, Uh, Doc, let's go

back to uh, to that Cowboys Rams game. I want to ask you about Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley remains sideline at practice through Wednesday yesterday. I haven't seen a practice report from yet today. He's dealing with an ankle injury which limited him in the previous game against the Seattle Seahawks. But I want to bring up Cole Beasley.

While he's not a flashy name from a personnel perspective, he might have been a guy that you wanted to target for DFS Greig because on the outside you have those strong cornerbacks with Rams and Marcus Peterson a keep to lead. Maybe the place that you want to target is the middle of the field with the Dallas Cowboys offense, which is where cold Beasley usually roam. So what's the latest on Cole Beasley Duck, Yeah, so Cole Beasley grade

one ankle sprain requires two weeks about themal recovery time. Obviously, that puts him into the conference championship round, not here in the divisional playoffs. And so you know, we're recommending that he does not play in this game from a medical standpoint. Uh, you know right now his numbers aren't

that great. It's and uh you know, I'm start injury risk and his HPF so he's nowhere near you knowent and uh, you know this is a this is an injury that can easily be you know, go up to catch a ball, land on the ankle, a little tweak that ankle again, it's a lot easier to tweak when it's already injured, and then boom, you know, he's not playing the rest of the game. So this is a this is a sit situation from medically speaking standpoint, uh, and he should be ready to go in the conference

championship round if they make it. Interestingly enough, the guy that potentially would benefit the most thought Cole Beasley in there, and I think he will be. I think he's going to play because it's the playoffs and they'll push through it, especially a guy like Beasley. But if he has limited and he does sit this one out, the guy that normally but most benefit is probably Blake Darwin. But he's battling his own injuries right now, Doc, what's with the

Cowboys tight end? Yeah, so Blake Darwin is almost identical that you just hit a record button. I'll say the same thing. You know, so grade one ankle injury, same thing, although you know, tight ends don't necessarily you know, ankle injuries to them are not as common as um uh, you know, wide receiver, So that's something going for him. Also, he's nowhere near the injury risk of uh, you know Cole Beasley. Uh, he's at twelve to thirteen percent, So eleven percent or less is is low injury risk as

opposed to Beasley. Who's twenty plus, and so you know Blake Jarwin is gonna play, even though this requires another week of healing, He's still gonna play, and he's his numbers do look a little bit better than Beasley's. So maybe we see an uptick in targets for a guy like Marii Cooper. While they might not be efficient targets, it sounds like everyone else in the passing game is banged up. I mean, we saw what happened Alan Hearns

last week. Gruesome, gruesome injury, so he's not gonna play, and then Cole Beasley seems like he's gonna be limited uh something to to a similar stent when it comes to Blake Darwin. So maybe Marie Cooper does see one of these big target chairs again, like ten to twelve targets, but albeit if he's covered by a keep to leave, they won't be very efficient targets with that doc. There's only so many players we could talk about. There's only

four games left in the NFL playoffs. Just outside of these injuries, there's really not much else to talk about. The next player gonna ask about it is not playing this week. I mean, even if Keith Butler the Steelers defensive coordinator thought he was playing a couple of weeks ago. He wasn't. He've been out for quite a while. It's Tyler Eiffort. I just want to get an update of Tyler Eiffort because you know, people kind of laughed at him at the start of the season, Like during draft season,

they scoffed at the idea of taking Tyler Eiffert. He was still pretty useful for fantasy when he was on the field. But I totally understand if you just want to like laugh at me and not give an answer, that's well no, I mean he suffered a great four ankle injury, which is a fracture dislocation. I mean, uh, these can these can take twenty weeks to come back

from or forty five weeks to come back from. You know, that's how you know, it depends how many how many things for fracture and how the healing processes, what's the you know, how well did surgery go, how you know, is there any postoperative infection or anything like that. I mean, there's so many things that go into this. Um. You know, he's had you guys know the lengthy injury history it had.

But I will tell you three back surgeries, knee surgery, left ankle surgery, concussions, and in elbow surgery all in the last three and a half years. And so he'll be a free agent entering into the nineteen season and he wants to play, but you know, right now he's nowhere near fully recovered, probably looking at at least mid March uh and possibly mid April to where we can really truly see his numbers get back up to shape. But you know, thirty eight percent injury risk, he'll he'll

be in the thirties when he's a free agent. So it'll be very, very difficult for me to see him pick up a lot of money on the free agency market. It would a team would really really have to be rolling the dice with him. He really need Tyler Iver, do you have a year healthy before anyone really trusts him? And we just haven't seen that, even though he was

putting signs this offseason to join someone's team. No, No, he's crazy, and I know that he's going to before you say a contract, and he's probably gonna think he's worth He's had a one year dear last year to one year proven to deal again, which is what he did when he read signed with Cincinnati this past year. You know, ultimately I feel bad because he was productive in September, and he usually is productive when he's on the field. It's just very rare he is on the field.

You heard all the injuries from Doc. I mean, this guy is a bionic man. It sounds like he's held together by uh some you know, like some Scotch tate you look at you look at a guy like Gronk. I mean, the guy's running around. He's got a brace on every single I don't even know how he's running like arm brais. He looks like the terminator. It's crazy. I mean, Tyler if it's pretty much on the same

level talking to Dr a of inside injuries. You want to return our attention now to the NBA and UM for us, Frank you we played DFS the last couple of nights, uh and in both nights, Franky, you have stacked all of the Sun's players because without Devin Booker, that means Danthony Milton, T J. Warren, Josh Jackson, DeAndre Eton. Last night, riek On Holmes, my manor shot Holmes right, like, all of their numbers just go up but how long

dot can we expect Devin Booker out for Phoenix. Yeah, we're looking at January nineteenth is his recovery, So we're we're about nine days away right now. His injury risk is way high, so that needs to go down to the teens before we feel comfortable that he should be back in the game. But really it's at least January nineteenth.

He has a Grade one back and you know, these back injuries on these tall players, you really have to be very careful with them to make sure it doesn't result in anything worse like a discarmination or has something like that. And so even though it's good that he missed the last two games, he's likely going to miss games all the way through January nineteenth and maybe maybe a few days after that. But what we're looking at it is probably last week of January. Mac Usually Greg

likes to ask himself as questions for himself. I'm gonna do that right now because I have DeMarcus Cousins stash on the i R and one of my season long fantasy leagues. You know, the awaited return of DeMarcus Cousin now playing out there in the Bay Area with the Golden State Warriors move that a lot of people did not like trying to think of another basketball player outside of Kobe Bryant who has suffered a torn achilles and returned from it. No one's really you know, ringing in

my head right now. And Kobe was a lot older when it actually happened to him. Uh, DeMarcus Cousins only twenty eight years old. Targeting a return date of January eight or one this month? Is that a smart decision? Doc? Do the algorithms say that he's had enough time to recover and from this injury specifically, it has completely healed. It's HPF right now. Um, And and that's fine, Like you said, a big man with an achilles full thickness, complete achilles tear on that side, you know that the

other side is probably waiting in the wind. You know that typically with basketball players, you know, where they have an achilles tear on one side, then don't be surprised that that achilles tear on the other side happens. Um. It's very It's not I wouldn't say it's very common, but it's one of the things that's up there that you have to look for, you know, surgically, repaired achilles will be a little stronger and it won't really retear.

It won't be that, you know, but typically these guys have a significant increase in risk of tearing the other achilles when they come back onto the on the field. And that's why even though he's at HPF with us right now, his i r C injury risk his twenty three percent. So you know he may it's the durability um.

But you know, he could practice all he wants, as you know, the movement and the intensity within the game will really really be much higher than practice, and there's a one quarter chance that he's gonna tear that other achilles. Come on, Doc, don't kill my lib. That's that's really one a quarter heard it here. Let's let's hope talk, let's hope not all right, John, We appreciate the time.

We opened up the show talking about Adam Gaze Baby being anounced as the head coach over New York Jets, and my buddy Russ pointed this out in regards to Adam Gaze and the Jets in general, that they go through these cycles where you basically you hire a GM but you leave the coach and then you have eventually mechanical get fired and it'll we won't be time to fire

Gaze yet. And it's this annoying cycle of the Jets go through that we have seen before, where it's not concurrent, just like hire a GM Olympic as coach, Like I under stand that mcagnet is gonna do his thing, and you had said that, hey, we're gonna be doing this all over again in a couple of years, and maybe we will, but maybe the fire both of them at the same time. I just find an interesting. I just find it interesting that they can't just wipe the floor clean.

I was talking to Martino earlier, his Jets fan, and I was giving a macagnet a lot of crap, and he was defending him, not like wholeheartedly, not like balls to the wall. Defending him was like, listen, he made some shrewd trades, which is true. Some of his first round graft picks have been good, which is true. But I just pointed out, and I stand by this, at the entire roster for the New York Jets, he's just barren with talent. There's nothing here. And he's been the

GM now for a few seasons. Where like there should be more there and there's not and that scares me, and like we use the excuse for gays or we don't we the Jets fans that that support the Adam gaze higher used the excuse that, hey, he didn't have out of talent Miami, he didn't have a quarterback. Well, he hopefully has a quarterback now, but they still want talent. What else the Jets to go back to the quote from Jamal Adams after the final game of the season,

he said, we just don't have enough. We don't have enough dogs was the exact quote from Jamal Adams. We don't have enough talent now the Jets. You are like a hundred million dollars in cap space is coming off season. But Cagnet has missed more than he's hit in the draft. And mind you, the draft is hard. After the second round. It's like everything's a toss up total, Like Leonard Williams has been overrated, what do he? What do you have? Four saxes here, Martino was saying as well, Jamal Adams

has been great. Darren Lee showed signs this year and then he got suspended. Sam Donald looks like a promising young quarterback, and he made the trade up. Everything else was Hackenburg in the second round. Look at all the middle round stuff that he's done. When you start last year, he drafted Nathan Shepard, who was like a twenty five year old Division two player. When you started the show, you were talking about this is the important, most important

um head coaching higher in Jets history. And they haven't had a franchise quarterback um since Joe Namett. And I find an interesting you say that because we've done this before with the Jets. We have this exact conversation when Mark Sanchez was drafted, when Chad Pennington was drafted, when Christian Hackenburger was drafted, over and over and over again. This is the most important higher and Jets history. They haven't had a quarterback since Joe named. They're trying over

and over and over again. And like Donald certainly showed signs in year one. You know, hopefully you can improve upon that in year too. I don't know. I hope. So for you, you dog cats to you and a chat says, draft a defensive tackle and trade Leonard Williams. The thing is, what do you get for Leonard Williams? And you're gonna have to make that decision at some point because you're coming up to that point where you either either franchise tag the guy give him a long

term deal where you try and trade him away. And that's what they did with Sheldon Richardson. They traded him away for a second round pick. You're not gonna get a second round pick for Leonard Williams now the way that he's played in the past two Lucky if you get a third and you know there is defensive lineman in the traffic. If you know if Quentnin Williams is there at three and you know they want to take him.

It was like, how many outside of Donald, how many years in a row have they taken a defensive player in the first round. I know it wasn't him, but like d Milliner, it's been like, I don't know the last Jets player taking the in the first round that was on offense. Dude. They're just a joke of a franchise. They're the laughing stock in the NFL. Man, Like the Cleveland Browns are on the up and up. They were

the laughing stock. It's now the Jets. What did you think of the Bengals up with them in the same category when Hugh Jackson is there. According to Martino, the last offensive line, the offensive offensive live, the last offensive players, and the jest picked in the first round Nick Mangold and Prickshaw Ferguson, who are both. That's when they built what the Dallas Cowboys are doing. Now, what did the Dallas Cowboys do for years draft offensive lineman? They get

an adequate, adequate quarterback in Dak Prescott. Say whatever you want to, he's very polarizing. I would say he's at least average. But you have a great running back in Zeke. You have a great offensive line. You have to build it from the inside out. You got to build the trenches, the offensive line. I read you Football outsiders yesterday offensive line reading. Jets thirty second in run blocking. But they were pretty average pastball. That's what we're holding onto right

Just embarrassing game. Only two teams do not have an NFL head coach right now, since Nati Bengals and Fangio. Give me a defensive give me Chris foh Shard. Another defensive guy, Adam Gatee was last on the list. If you hire a Vig Fangio or honestly, you're putting Adam Gaze and Hugh Jackson in the same category. I think that's fair. I would have felt the same exact way if they hired Hugh Jackson. I don't think that. I feel about Adam Gate. How is it not doing that?

I don't think it's fair. It's done nothing. Hugh Jackson won like one game in two years, and what did he do before that? That's basically what Adam Gas is about to do. Didn't you Could you say that Hugh Jackson developed Andy Dalton? Would that get your excited? Does that get you excited? Yeah? Not terrible? September Dalton, It's not terrible, not terrible. Did you say that's more than Adam Gaze never won a big game in prime? Is

that more than Adam and Gaze is done? Probably? So you're sitting here laughing at me saying that the same guy you Jackson might have done more. He helped develop Andy Dalton, For whatever that's worth. I just for the people who are calling him like the for the writers who were saying that he can develop a quarterback, I just want evidence. What did he develop? Will you beat f F New York Sports Talk radio. I don't know

who he developed give the answer. He developed Paton Manning, right, No, no, no, you need develop Paton Manning. You develop j Cutlers in the middle of the school rock Rock. That's a great reason to sign God Adam Adams Rock Billions of dim beautiful. You know what, that could be your backup quarterback next year probably will be. I can't root for the scene, so I can't so be your charges fin officially now lighting Let's go Chargers at bolt up Tom actual official hashtag.

Just fight for each other. It's weird hashtag, fight for each other. That's the Chargers. Let's go Chargers. That's my team. Told Thorial that last night because it was kind of a bad time to jump on the bandwagon because Philip River is probably gonna retire in a couple of years. Yeah yeah, I mean then you know, we'll go through a little one and thirty one in the next two seasons.

It's not willing because you know, I play you're third string wide receiver the New York Jets, and then they'll draft Trevor Lawrence greg Over'll cove up on Sam Donald. That's gonna the Giants anything. Everyone wants to do that. It's a legit spot for Miami to end up though, for him to end up in Miamia, what are they gonna do over the next two years. He's trit the quarterback this year. No, but they're gonna rebuild. They dropt

the quarterback this year. Even if they draft quarterback this year, like this isn't a great quarterback class. They're not in a position to get like Kyler Murray or Dwayne Haskins. So they're gonna end up with one of these Kyler Murray. That's not true. There's no lack of Kyler Murray the first round pick number one overall to the Cardinal that that was a quote from three months ago. What was like real? Adam Schefter said, It's not implausible, it's pretty impossible.

It's pretty Rosen's gonna get traded to the Patriots for like third and fourth round pick he's getting and he's going to be the successor down with the Giants acquire Josh Risen. Why is that? Greg? And then you get like a quarterback and they're running backrom last year's draft like Josh Rosen, Like, babe, you know you don't have got dream staff. Are there any other reasons? Craig No, all right, absolutely, not. Giants were high on him last

year and then they'll be cool. Pat Sherman, who'd yourather have? Pat Sherman, Adam Gaze? Honestly, Okay, Adam Gaze lowest of the low? Do you want to talk about this mockdraft for doing Greig Man? Like eight minutes left from the show. I don't want to talk about Adam Gaze anymore than whatever? Right not? New York Radio can talk about some other coaching stuff that you mind? Sure? I mean, is anything

else happening? You know? Cliff Kingsbury's an interview senior offensive uh personnel to be on the offensive staff, Like you know who that is? Ben McAdoo. Oh yeah, what is he? What's his role? Uh? Interview for something on the staff hasn't come out of what the role would be yet. He's definitely gonna get something. He's just gonna interview him. Monkin, by the way, for people who are wondering, was a

finalist for the Jets position. That's cool. It sounded like it seemed like there was like four guys who were tending like they wanted McCarthy. It's sounded like they wanted Matt Rule to be the head coach. With Monkey as the offensive coordinator, and Monkey didn't want you wanted to bring guys from college. Rule didn't want to do that, wanted to do so at that point, why didn't you just make monk in the head coach? Do you really

want a monk in that badly? It's a million dollar question, Greg, because because they got a call from Peyton Manning, Gregg eight Manning, Papa Jones. So I have to I actually want to read you something. This is not football related, but if I had an interesting only like five minutes left. So the big story this uh this morning, we're just

talking about random signings and whatnot. It was Monty grandal right signed for eighteen and a half million dollars or so eighteen boys my final sweet before I signed off of the night eighteen mill the Brewers. So I have a source or a friend that of a source of a source basically that said that the offer that Mets made that everyone's reporting for four for sixty wasn't that. That's not true. They offered him three for thirty five, which they turned down. And then this is obviously the

next best offer that grand Now received. Um and what do you get? It was like one for or close to twenty millions. I believe it was like eighteen point two fives. I tweeted this out last night. Small sample size, but his his triple slash in sixty played appearances in mid Miller Park to three sixty seven five fifty six, four home runs and fifteen RBI. I've done no other rankings for baseball catchers. He's my sixth rand catcher. That sounds accurate. You like to know who I have at

of him? You don't know I catch your rankings. No, what are you telling anyway? Harry Sanchez is number one, dat Real Muto is number two. I wish I could know the rest if my if my computer would love You don't remember them, I don't. I don't remember my catcher rankings by heart. I know he's just ahead of Wilson, Kin Treris, and Buster Posey. Would rather have either one of those guys. Salvador Perez number three, Wilson Romo's number four,

Yadier Molina. Number five is montaguard All number six. Right behind him is Wilson Contredis and Buster Posy. I'd rather have the odds money I think he has. Mindy Grandall might be my third rank catcher, be honest, it seems a little aggressive, maybe not really warranted. Well, yeah, he's he's consistently like a two twenty, like two thirty hitter, but he's twenty one runs needs the last three seasons. So I Salvador Perez with a much better batting average?

Who was the average last year? It was very bad? But three year sample? Is his three year samples better than Granda's three years? Saying fine, okay, I he's more of like a two fifty hitter, which that's if I were projecting Salvador Perez, I would project him for like two fifty, and projecting you has Monty Grandell, I probably put him in like a two thirty ring. Um, it's twenty points of batting average seven. The Perez's batting average drops you two thirty five last year? Did hit match

his career high twenty seven home runs any year? I actually a very existing yea, all right, fine, so you got me. I had a grand now fourth ahead of Wilson Romp like this almost over three hundred last year. I understand that very big from a catcher. From the catcher, I'd rather have the power than the average personally, But he does a little bit of everything, Like Wilson Ramos is gonna hit seventeen eighteen home runs? Yeah, but um a city Field, I don't. I don't really know what happened.

I don't think city Fields is as bad as it because I think it's closer to neutral now than anything isn't. They've they've pulled the fences in a little bit there last day. They did there, right. I like Wilson Ramos. I don't know. I've always kind of been a Wilson Ramos guy. I just think who's been a twenty home run guy's the last three years? Not going to Miller Park like I'm really interesting. But a guy like yadda here, Molina,

he's de valued every single year because you're so boring. Right, But I think with the ground now is you're just winning for them to fall off the cliff. That's what it is. You're winning ground now, Molina, You're winning for him to fall off the cliff. We've been waiting, right. But would you rather be the year early than year late? Yes? I mean no, I think I think you can make

a solid argument for grandall over over. You just want to take the power over, you know, sacrificing the batting average because Malina said at least to sixties since like I don't know the past twelve years in his career. I looked it up, so actually have that here. That was something six one average every season since two thousand and six. For it's great, very safe. Batting power has gone up the past year. He's kind of one of these guys who was brought into the Launch Angle that

everyone's buying in the Launch Angle Revolution. It's like your next we should make a baseball He's just not on YouTube first. Whatever wrestling called for you, like n W O d X really called a stable, we should we should make like a baseball stable Revolution. Enough, what's not now? Greg doesn't like that? Come up next? Vanageable Frenzy. Chris Venture is out once again. Jim Day, Corey Parson will have you covered. Corys back. So that's the good news. Um,

and he'll be on the Frenzy coming up next. Uh like, like, subscribe, rate us five stars, leave a comment, do everything that you can support us because we really appreciate it. If we listen to Live with the Radio, we go another minute in our two minutes at this point, Uh, Frank, do you want kind of I'm excited that we sparked a random catcher conversation. That's cool. That's pretty much where we're at. We should probably talking about like the divisional games. Well,

we'll do that tomorrow. We'll break them down from a betting perspective. We'll give you last week makes your people sign up for a game. Well, here's the way it works, Fandel is. If you've been in the contest the fand will be a f contest, you're already in it. You just have to set your lineup. So you go down to like if you're on the phone, you go to like on the bottom there's a friend's tab where you click on that and then you'll you'll be able to see it if you go on the website, it's actually

on the top, So look at the friends tab. If you've been signed up for the BFF contest, you're already in it. You just have to set your line up again. Five dollars twenty person contest, Top three pay out. I finished the second last week. Our guy Andre called in on Monday. Can you catch up? We'll see if I can catch up. Actually challenge me to a head to head contest as well, so I'll have a little side action with him this week. Figure that out. But yeah,

we got props coming tomorrow. Best Bets spreads d f's information and you announced the Frenzy will be the friend kind of like we did yesterday. We'll be on the Friends, will be basically two hours to be Jim Dale will join us for our numbers very much. Um. I want to leave you with this, Frankie, I'll leave you with this. Has got a text message from Doc Jock who says that Trevor Lawrence maybe a more athletic version of Peyton Manning and says Dwayne Haskins for you Giants fans out there,

maybe Byron Leftwitch. All right, that's the way the show is gonna end. That's friends. Could not think of a better way to end the show tonight. I really couldn't do. Dons Craig Nurse, Craig Adam Gage the new head coach to New York Jets. That's what we're looking for Tomorrow, we'll review all four games that divid in a weekend.
