It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, socially distancing and masking when and where necessary.

0:27.2

And we are just rolling along, getting a little bit closer to the start of the season.

0:32.3

And weeks away from the NFL season getting kicked off for 2020s. Of course, we got plenty of good stuff to talk about a couple of guests that I'm really excited about. I know I'm all I say that all the time, but it's true. I get excited because I feel like we have a lot of good guests, a lot of smart people who come on this show. Gonna dive into some new statistics. A lot of you folks out there are looking for the advanced analytics trying to get an edge. And so we're going to introduce you to a new thing. Rushing Yards Overexpected. Nick Shook will jump in to talk about that a little bit later on in the show. Also going to have Cynthia Freeland stop by because why not? It's always wonderful to have her stop by the show as well. But before we get too deep into that,

1:12.3

as always want to talk to my faithful producer, senior Edward L. Murphy Esquire. Murph, what's going on

1:16.6

where you are? Well, I finally watched Hard Knocks, so I know we will talk about it a little bit later

1:22.7

on in the show today, but for more of a fantasy perspective there. But it's so funny because

1:27.3

people were kind of guessing what's going to go on in this episode, but from more of a fantasy perspective there. But it's so funny because people were kind of

1:28.8

guessing what's going to go on in this episode, but they shoot a lot of interesting stuff behind

1:32.5

the scenes. And I was watching with my girlfriend and the part where Joey Bost signs his contract,

1:38.2

which is an awesome moment. And then she goes to me, she's like, why don't you play in the NFL?

1:43.2

And I was like, that's a really good question. Like, why am I not? 6'5, 275 pounds. Like Joey Bosa, sacking quarterbacks, like it's nobody's business. So that was a really good question brought up by her last night. Yeah, that's where you messed up was being built like a regular human being instead of some, you know, past question. That guy is the biggest legs I've ever seen

2:02.9

in a human being. I'll tell you that. Yeah. You know, so if you had a chance to do it all over,

2:10.1

you know, you solved. So, all right, let's get into this. Bring in our good friend Cynthia Freeland.

2:20.2

She was here on the show just a few weeks ago, helping us out during fantasy camp.

2:24.2

She jumped in to talk about the AFC South, but always enjoy having her on the program.

2:29.4

Cynthia, appreciate you waking up with us and hanging out with us today.

2:33.0

Good morning.

2:34.1

You know, it's a good morning here. We got to have happiness where we can. And this made me so happy to come on here. So thank you for having me. It's a good reason to get up. I appreciate it. So let's dive in. There's some news headlines we've had over the last couple of weeks or the last couple of days, I should say, which is sort of nice, because we went weeks without any real headlines, but now the guys are sort of getting back to me. We actually have some things to talk about. Will Fuller says that if the sky or that if he can stay healthy, the sky is the limit.
