What's up, you guys? It's Matt. We got another piece of big breaking news after we taped a show yet again.

0:06.8

Yet again. James Robinson traded to the New York Jets for a mere sixth round pick. That six-round pick can become a fifth round pick if James Robinson rushes for 600 yards this season. He's already well on his way with his work with the Jaguars, which does count.

0:24.1

So pretty interesting that the Jets who know they are winning right now,

0:29.7

you know, they really believe they're in a moment where they can compete.

0:34.6

They're not looking at like, oh, let's evaluate for the future.

0:37.1

They're like, no, we're five and two. We lost Breeze Hall. We got to make a move.

0:41.7

They go add James Robinson, who's a good player. James Robinson, you know, he obviously was losing

0:49.2

his job to Travis Eton, who I'll hit on just a second. But James Robinson's a good player. He's a pretty good back.

0:55.7

He obviously had some explosive runs at different times this year. A little interesting that

year. The Jets are one of the few teams that had really actually mastered that pony personnel look

1:21.3

with the two running backs on the field, Brees Hall and Michael Carter. I think we can continue to see

1:25.6

James Robinson kind of take on some of those roles

1:27.7

that Breece Hall and Michael Carter, you know, when they were sharing the backfield together.

1:33.1

So that's pretty interesting. I think we will see James Robinson on the field pretty soon for

1:36.9

this team. And I think it's a good, I mean, look, it's a good trade because James Robinson is just

1:41.3

a good player. They didn't have any depth beyond Michael Carter.

1:44.6

Now, for Michael Carter, I still think from a fantasy angle, he's probably the best bet in this

1:49.1

backfield. I think he will be like a 65% player, maybe, you know, 70% if he really takes off.
