00:00You've talked about kind of what tier, you want to have a discussion,
00:03I know what tier of running back that David Montgomery is in it,
00:07and hopefully we at some point are able to get to that.
00:09But I was trying to build a tier of backs and kind of see where he fits.
00:17And Maurice Jones-Drew, a former running back, former Jacksonville Jaguar,
00:21he had a list, and this is right after the season ended.
00:24I think right before the Super Bowl, the way the date is.
00:28And late, late January.
00:30And he ranked his top 64 running backs.
00:33And so I kind of gauged that by using the tier.
00:37My top tier is B. John Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, James Cook,
00:42and Jameer Gibbs.
00:43That was my top tier going into next year.
00:46You say Saquon?
00:47I got him in tier two.
00:49You do what?
00:50I got Saquon right now.
00:51I'm going to let you finish setting it up before we address that.
00:53I got Saquon, Derek Henry, Kenneth Walker, A. Chan, and Williams
00:59in tier two.
01:00Just right now, age and everything.
01:02We'll see.
01:02Okay.
01:03Yeah.
01:04But I got in there and I said, I just want to see where he has him,
01:11what area he has of running backs he's around.
01:16Tyler, I went through that list.
01:18I have gone through that list 13 times.
01:21And during the break, me and Clint together went through the list.
01:25Get another pair of eyes on it.
01:27I just wanted to make sure.
01:28Oh, four eyes.
01:29I put my glasses on.
01:30We had eight eyes on that joker.
01:32Because I look, I look, we saw, we saw Woody Marks made it.
01:37Woody was in the 20s.
01:3829.
01:39Solid.
01:40You just made the list.
01:42He had to have forgotten about David.
01:44He forgot about David.
01:45David didn't make the list.
01:45He didn't make the, he didn't make the 64.
01:47Wow.
01:4964 deep.
01:50If you do the math, that's two on every team that are better than David.
01:52He didn't make, no, he had to forget.
01:55He had, I think, I think so, right?
01:57I hope so.
01:58Cause that's not ideal.
01:59Absolutely.
02:00Cause he's got, he's got Devin Singletary checking in at 46.
02:03Oh my.
02:03He had to have forgotten.
02:05Samajay Piran, who is, I believe a third back checking in at 49.
02:11You got Bam Knight Cardinals.
02:13I ain't got him.
02:1452.
02:16Yeah.
02:16He had to forget about David Montgomery.
02:19I mean, I'm not saying that cause he's a Texan.
02:20I'm just like, you don't, you don't get too deep.
02:22You don't get too deep with 32 NFL teams.
02:25And David Montgomery's not in there.
02:27You couldn't run the ball.
02:28Right.
02:28He just had, he had to have just completely forgotten about it.
02:32Absolutely.
02:33Or I would like to get him on the horn.
02:36Like I, like he has to say, baby.
02:38I, I, I, Oh yeah.
02:39I completely forgot about it.
02:41Cause I was like, damn, he really likes Woody Marks.
02:43Like I was thinking he thinks Woody Marks is going to be the, I mean,
02:46David Montgomery had over 700 yards rushing last year with his, with his,
02:50with his, uh, touches cut.
02:53I mean, he averaged over five yards of touch and over four and a half yards of
02:56carry.
02:56My man, PJ, RJ Harvey at 37.
02:59Harvey's a little scat bag.
03:00Make it.
03:01Yeah.
03:01No.
03:01And they're started.
03:02Right.
03:03He had to, uh, he forgot about it.
03:05He had to have forgotten.
03:05You can hit him up and see, see, see, see what kind of response.
03:08I would love, I would love that got away from him.
03:10They got away from him, but I don't know.
03:13I, I, I damn sure know he's in the top 64.
03:16That one, that, that one is, is, is, is nuts to me, but you made this dispute.
03:22Maybe you have Saquon Barkley still in the top, in the top tier, but I just went
03:26through the top three tiers of backs and that is 15 backs.
03:30And my tier two, as I said, Saquon, Derrick Henry, Williams with the Rams, uh, HN and,
03:37uh, and Kenneth Walker tier three for me, ETN, Josh Jacobs, Javante Williams, Brees
03:42Hall, Deandre Swift.
03:44Where do you, where, in what area would you put him?
03:48Obviously, Maurice Jones drew does not believe he's in any of these tiers, but where
03:51would you, where would you put David Montgomery in this?
03:55If I'm using your tiers, it would, he would be a fourth tier back.
03:58So he would, if I, if I, if I, yeah, if I tiered him, I would, I would like Derrick
04:02Henry and Saquon Barkley would be in the ones.
04:04And then the, all the guys that you mentioned below that, the Williams and the
04:08walkers, and those would be my tier twos.
04:10The sample size just ain't big enough yet.
04:12Um, and then I, I would have, I would have David Montgomery in that tier three.
04:16We know who he, we know exactly who he is there.
04:18I would say with David Montgomery, there's no, from an NFL perspective, there's no like
04:22elite trait.
04:23But when you talk about downhill, lean forward between the tackles, get that hard yard, a
04:29grinder, a physical back, I would put that, that back in, in my third tier.
04:34But if I'm, if I'm using your tier, your tiers there, it would be the fourth tier in that
04:38group right there.
04:39Yeah.
04:42If you're doing five backs at a time and, and, and Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry are
04:47in tier two, yeah, David Montgomery would be tier four.
04:50Is that tier good enough for what the Texans need?
04:54I think it's good enough.
04:56Yeah.
04:56Yeah.
04:56I think it's good enough.
04:57Um, I, I think, I think he, um, you know, he, he's better than what they've had in the
05:03past.
05:03Um, you know, I think he's better than, than, um, Woody marks as an every down back.
05:11I think he's better than Woody marks as a, as a short yardage, you know, red zone goal
05:16line back.
05:17Um, I think obviously Woody's better outside the tackles, got more speed, got more explosive
05:22in this kind of deal, catching ball in the backfield, a little, a little more creativity
05:24there.
05:25But, uh, I think from a specialty perspective, he's really good inside the tackles downhill.
05:31And I think that's what they wanted when they got, when they got David Montgomery.
05:34See, I think, I think he's good.
05:35I think Texans are fine in throwing back position.
05:37Check your text guys.
05:38I think Sean Bender, Pendergast gives his reasoning why, uh, he didn't make the top 64.
05:43Uh, for, uh, for, for Maurice Jones Drew.
05:51Does Maurice Jones Drew have a hot sister?
05:53I don't know.
05:54I don't think, I don't think it matters if she's hot or not.
05:56But if he, I don't know if she's, I'm going to guess she's thick.
06:00I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if she's hot, but I guarantee you she's thick
06:04now.
06:06I mean, Maurice Jones Drew got to look, I mean, he's vertically challenged, but boom.
