| 0:00.0 | Welcome back. I'm Dan Schneier. That's Jacob Gibbs. This is Beyond the Box Score brought to you by fantasy football today. But we will be taking a look at Jacob's, and we are going to dismantle and depict. |
| 0:24.2 | It depicts not the right word. |
| 0:25.4 | Dismantle and derail the rankings that I feel are just not right. |
| 0:30.3 | And I just, there's still some players that feel like he's not given the respect that they deserve. |
| 0:34.1 | And we'll find out today if he agrees or disagrees. |
| 0:36.5 | But we're going to be talking |

| 1:30.7 | more playing time. |
| 1:31.6 | Like he's winning all the time. |
| 1:33.7 | To me, he looks like a rookie tied in. |
| 1:35.2 | He moves well. |
| 1:36.5 | But I think he's learning a complicated offense. |
| 1:41.3 | And part of the Loveland thesis was that there was target ambiguity at the top, |
| 1:47.8 | that we didn't know if there was going to be a clear cut wide receiver one. And so based |
