Dave, first thing that stands out to you about the NFL schedule is what?

0:35.0

Well, I think that we did a lot of talking about the tough early schedules for running backs

0:39.9

like Cam Acres, DeAndre Swift, Mike Davis, better schedules, early schedules that are easy

1:44.9

You could sell high on him.

1:46.8

There are three teams that had pretty bad defenses last year that, you know, I expect,
