0:00.0	Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.
0:25.6	Welcome back to your Friday book. I talk to Doug Lentner, he's here to see the means and the influential
0:30.0	luck guys for the 2022 football season. This is the list we put together our votes, texture votes,
0:37.2	how valuable are you? How special are you? How beloved are you? We've been running through the top
0:42.8	25 book guys. We've done two episodes so far and we are now into the top 10. So guys, this is the
0:48.7	threshold. We're going to do numbers 10 through 5 today. This was an overall 50 point rating. If you
0:57.0	got the max points you could get from everybody, you would get 50. These players are between 40 points,
1:04.6	40 exactly is 10th and 43.33 is 5th. So those are the six guys we're going to talk about. And then
1:13.8	the number four guy is 45.8. So that's a little bit of a jump. It just sort of as with it worked
1:20.6	out by luck that we sort of have very clear lines. Numbers 25 through 17. That was nine players

1:43.1	has been a valuable guide for us. Generally speaking, when you did this rating, you thought these guys
1:50.2	were like pretty solid all American candidates. That's their potential. That's their upside. That's
1:58.3	the discussion point around these six guys, correct? Exactly. Yeah. And there was a difference. Again,
2:06.0	that's on the the special side that you would be these guys are if you use their name and all
2:11.6	American in the same sentence, nobody thinks you're you're wildly off. And on the other side,
2:16.4	the importance value. It's somebody who if they're missing this season, you think, oh, well,
2:22.1	maybe it isn't as easy for a house day to win a big game championship because this guy is just
2:25.7	sort of absent completely. And either because he is that good or because of the what what else they
2:33.1	have at that position, it leaves a huge hole. So it's an interesting group. And let me run through
2:40.2	very quickly. The players we have already covered so that anyone catching up for, you know,
