00:00Let's pivot to Cooper Cup here and I think instead of giving the number straight away,
00:09I think I'll ask a question is Joe does Cooper Cup have a thousand-yard receiving season
00:14in him this year, yes or no?
00:19I'm going to say no, because of what I've seen from Cooper Cup the last few years, which
00:25is Cooper Cup's inability to stay on the field.
00:28Now, I know he's working hard, I know that's not how he wants to end his career in this
00:31sort of situation, but I think we have to be honest, he's 31 years old and if you look
00:37at the body of work here, I don't think he's ever recovered right now, I think it's safe
00:42to say 191 targets in 2021, let that sink in, 191 targets, 145 receptions and that's
00:50not counting the postseason that year, postseason even more on him and you look at what he's
00:55done since, right, he played nine games in 2022, 12 games last year, now there were times
01:00where he was really productive and looked good, I think this is a number that is close,
01:05I think this is a number that 925 and a half at minus 112, it's giving respect to Cooper
01:11Cup and saying, yeah, he's still a great wide receiver you have to account for, but the
01:16fact that it's not over a thousand yards tells you that there's fear in the marketplace in
01:20the Vegas lines, that Cooper Cup can't regain that status that he had and now that Cooper
01:26Cup has to deal with Puka Nakua and fight for targets there a little bit, there's still
01:30plenty to go around, but I don't know if there's enough the way they were back in the day for
01:34him, so a healthy season of 17 games for Cooper Cup, sure, sign me up, I think that'd be great,
01:39that sounds like a 1200 yard receiving kind of guy, but I just don't think that's possible,
01:44so if we're looking at a 10 game situation out of him, oh, they got a lot closer to this
01:49925 number, I think this number is a good one, if anything, I would go over because
01:53I do think can get closer to a thousand, but man, oh man, maybe that's just wishful thinking,
01:58maybe we need to look at what's gone on here with him the last few years and the trend
02:01going negative and the age at 31 also being a negative, maybe the smart money actually
02:07is the other way and the smart money is not to think of what the best case scenario is,
02:11but instead what reality is, reality is Cooper Cup has not been effective the last two years
02:16and not been on the field enough, unfortunately, to be healthy and effective and that my friends
02:21is why maybe the under is the better way to go.
