1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:02,519
Speaker 1: This is the Mark Madden Show.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: Peng was with a monstrous win yesterday at home against Boston,

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: rallying from three yeeld down to win in overtime. I

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: hate to jump the Steelers to the front of the

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: line with the Pittman news and the Gainwell news and

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: the Samuel news and the James Pierre news and the

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: Hulcombe news, because it's all leading to ten and seven

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: and a first round exit again. And anybody who'd like

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: to bet a noisy couple grand on that, come a colin.

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: You can follow me on Twitter at Mark Madex. Let's

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: join now by Tommy Football. Tom what's your take on

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 2: getting Pittman again. He's not a number one receiver, he's

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: twenty eight years old. It's another move for right now

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: and we're not even true who the quarterback is.

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, it's a good move. He's a good player.

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: He's twenty eight years old, going to be twenty nine,

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: so there's still some runway there. You could think that

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: he still has some prime years left. As you said,

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: his prime years are as a number two wide receiver.

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 3: So now they have two number two wide receivers. But

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: I think most people don't view it like you and

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: I do with DK Metcalf, and I certainly don't think

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 3: the Steers.

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: They think he's the number one. He's just not a

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: number one.

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: I agree.

27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: The reason Seattle got rid of him is because they

28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: know what a number one looks like.

29
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: It's Smith and the Jig both right. And they knew

30
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: they didn't need.

31
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 2: Metcalf given his baggage, which certainly reared its ugly head,

32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: you know when he smacked the guy in Detroit. But

33
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: but you know, you know, stuff like that aside the dumbness,

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: neither one's the number one receiver, and I think you

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: need one for that McCarthy offense.

36
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: I think you need one period.

37
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: I think if you're bringing back Grandpa game manager, he

38
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: needs all the help he can get.

39
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: And just like how Seattle told you about DK Metcalf,

40
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: how he's not a true number one, Indy kind of

41
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: telling you the same thing with how they handled free agency. Right,

42
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: they go out and they re up with Alec Pierce

43
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixteen million dollars I believe was the

44
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: deal for him. They bring him back, he's clearly their

45
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: target for a number one wide receiver, and then they

46
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: move on for Michael Pittman. So these former team are

47
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: letting us know what they think we're getting their rejects.

48
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean they may be rejects on a very

49
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: subtle we got a better guy level, but they're rejects.

50
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: Nonetheless, they're making too much money right now for a

51
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: number two wide receiver Dk Metcalf. Certainly is you overpay

52
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: a little bit for a guy like Pittman? Whatever twenty

53
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: million per year and I don't know about that, but

54
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 3: it's not DK money. DK's egregious.

55
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Oh, DK's getting quarterback money. Egregious.

56
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: Yes, at that price, he should throw to himself. Now,

57
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: who's the quarterback? I mean Pittman got traded for he's

58
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: not a free agent. But did he come here not

59
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: knowing who the quarterback is? And it won't be Malik

60
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: Willis because he signed with Miami.

61
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 4: Right.

62
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: Every time an option disappears with Rogers having not decided it, it, well,

63
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: it pisses me off and it makes the Steelers again

64
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: look so weak.

65
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: And so often don't you see these options go by

66
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: and you see, like I think, Millik Willis got forty

67
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: five million guaranteed, and look, he's only had like one

68
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: good game in the NFL to get that. That's nuts,

69
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: But that's still not insane to me. I mean it's

70
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: not you know, it's more than justin Field's money, but

71
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: it's still not you know, crazy amounts. So and with

72
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: the wide receiver market for the past couple years, I

73
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: feel like we kept seeing these trades go by and

74
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: it'd be like, oh, that guy went for a fourth

75
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: round pick, that guy went for a fifth round pick,

76
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: and it's just like, there are gettable players that can

77
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: help move this franchise forward that they just decide that

78
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: they don't want to go out and get. And you know,

79
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 3: who knows if Milie Willison is going to be great

80
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 3: or not. But I would rather take the swing at

81
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: someone like that than running it back with forty three

82
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: year old That.

83
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: Would rather Rogers telling me what he's going to do

84
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: right now. They didn't have to, you know, just let Willis.

85
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: I mean not that they would have gone, they wouldn't have.

86
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: Paid will I don't think they wanted that, No, yeah.

87
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: But but it's just And somebody said, Flacco is another

88
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: option of quarterbacks if Rogers retires.

89
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they can't be serious, can they.

90
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: Well, that's the option where you wait for Rogers until

91
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: end of May early June, and he decides to burn

92
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: you and say I'm going to retire, and then that's

93
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: all you have left, right is a Joe Flacco the

94
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: only one that would possibly be left on the scrap

95
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: heap to go get. So I could absolutely see them

96
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: pivoting there if Rogers does burn them eventually after a

97
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: couple of months of waiting.

98
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: Would you have rather had James Pierre re up than

99
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: a Sante Samuel Junior? That trump is a bit weird

100
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: given Samuel's short tenure. Then again, we got a new coach.

101
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sante Samuel was better than James Pierre before he got.

102
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: That injury, new defensive coordinator too, new defense.

103
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: He just was a better player, like a Santa Samuel

104
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: is a legit number two corner in this fair enough,

105
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: but he got hurt, and who knows that he's ever

106
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: going to be that way again, and he, you know,

107
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 3: test run last year, passed it. So he gets the

108
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: one year, four million dollar deal, but I think there's

109
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: still a ceiling higher on him. They got to draft

110
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: that position, though, and I would have loved to see

111
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: them attack that position more aggressively in free agency with

112
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: a more top end player to be the number two.

113
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: Do you agree with my assessment that the inside backers

114
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: are overrated and maybe Cole Holcomb should play ahead of

115
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: Payton Wilson.

116
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: I think they're overrated, and I guess co Hulton can

117
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: play ahead of Payton Wilson, but I think they're both

118
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 3: kind of disappointing. Cole Holcomb is just I don't think

119
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: any good and Wilson's been a disappointment.

120
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: Was to be he got hurt, had that one real

121
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: good season.

122
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: And then he got hurt in the middle of the year. Yeah,

123
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: but he just hasn't been the same. And I don't

124
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: know Manyton.

125
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: Wilson just runs his big fat Yeah, Roe's the best,

126
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: the best cover inside backer. And I saw a Scott

127
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: and report like they on lot and I know who

128
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: knows who's who's making those the criteria, but but but

129
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: said he's just.

130
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Terrible at coverage.

131
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: Well, the only person who believes he's good as him, well,

132
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: the only person who talks about it anyway.

133
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: Well, I remember too, he said that in training camp,

134
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: and then in the preseason game to follow he gets

135
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: like burned on a route for a touchdown and it's like, oh,

136
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: it's preseason, but that ended up being an omen for

137
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: what was to come. He he's been very disappointing. They

138
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: tucked him up so much. He was a player, talked

139
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: himself up so much, and the Steelers did too. Like

140
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: coming out of college, you know, this guy one defensive

141
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: Player of the year, the college version of it at

142
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: NC State had the injury history. But if he gets

143
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: over that, he could be a diamond in the rough.

144
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: And he's just in the rough.

145
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Pittman thing, getting back to that,

146
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: I mean it's a good get. I just it's another

147
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: right now, you know, get over the top. Ex They

148
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: can't even see the top from where they're at. I mean,

149
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: they're gonna finish third in the division. I think if

150
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: Jackson and Burrough both stay healthy. I mean, you want

151
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: to make a splash move, get Max Crossby like the

152
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ons didn't.

153
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 3: You can't evaluate the Pittman move either. Because of what

154
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 3: we just discussed. There's no quarterback yet. We have no

155
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: idea who the quarterback is. It's the same thing that's

156
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: last year that we were stuck in. It's just like,

157
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: oh we got DK Metcalf, that's great. Who throws him

158
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: the ball. Now, probably Rogers sat answer keeps.

159
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: Saying over and over again, they told Benny couldn't play

160
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: no more. They told Troy couldn't play no more. They

161
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: told heins he couldn't play no more. They cut friggin'

162
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: Frank O'harris, one of the top three players in franchise

163
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: history in terms of impact, and they just wait and

164
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: wait and wait for a guy who's barely been here.

165
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: Rogers is like a cult leader. He has some kind

166
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: of magnetic poll he does, no he does. I'm not

167
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: kidding that interview we do with McAfee. I mean it

168
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: was like an alien, like somebody from another planet wanting

169
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: to come.

170
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: Here and start a kingdom.

171
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: The Ben part is so bizarre to me too, because

172
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: that was this ownership, Like, this was this group that

173
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: you know, was like, hey, it's time fest to move

174
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: on Ben Roethlisberger. So like the other ones that you cited,

175
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: there was other ownership influence there with the de Troy

176
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, but this was this owner like

177
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: he did that to Ben? Why why wait for Rogers?

178
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: They just believe he's the best option, and this year

179
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 3: that's just simply not the case.

180
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 5: Well, well, Willis? I mean, who else now that Willis

181
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 5: is Murray? Murray's better option, but he's going to Minnesota.

182
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: That seems like dundee. I think so too.

183
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: You know, whenever I look at a big offseason move

184
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: for football team, tom, here's how I judge it. Do

185
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: I think this team will do better this year than

186
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: the last because of who they got. I look at

187
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: Max Crosby going to Baltimore. I think, yeah, that's an

188
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: impact kind of move. I look at Michael Pittman going

189
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: to the Steelers, I say, well, you know, okay, maybe,

190
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: but maybe not who's throwing him.

191
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: The ball exactly.

192
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: That's the That's the big part right there, is we

193
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: don't know who the quarterback is right now to evaluate.

194
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Even if I knew it.

195
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: Was Rogers, I'm not sure that this makes the team

196
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: appreciably better.

197
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: Let's assume it is, right.

198
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: I think Alec Pierce, who Indy retained, would have made

199
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: the team significantly better.

200
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: I think he's trending up to becoming potentially a number

201
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: one wide receiver. I don't know if he's there yet,

202
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: but I think Indy c is that and they would

203
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: rather have.

204
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: Him legit deep threat though and combat catches and they're

205
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: lacking that big time. Yeah, and well Pittman's good at

206
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: that physical Yeah, Tom, only in Pittsburgh. I heard somebody

207
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: a caller on another show talking about how great Pittman

208
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: wasn't blocking only in f ing Pittsburgh. When we come back,

209
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: we got more important things to talk about, namely, there's

210
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: a new sandwich at McDonald's and Joe Burrows banging Jessica

211
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: Alba a Bengal banging to Cougar nice one oh five

225
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: Mark Manx. Here's an.

226
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: Pittman's numbers last year with Daniel Jones, Philip Rivers, and

227
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard a quarterback, were better than all of the

228
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: receivers behind Metcalf combined.

229
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: Tom, who would you rather have a quarterback Daniel Jones

230
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: or Aaron Rodgers? Daniel Jones And it's not even cool

231
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: even after hurting.

232
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 3: His acl like, coming off of that injury, I'd still

233
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: rather choose Daniel Jones.

234
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: Gamble on that.

235
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

236
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: Kabali says Rogers is going to decide this week. He

237
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: said that last week he said that the year before, Mom,

238
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 2: how long do we get there? Twenty more minutes?

239
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: Uh?

240
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: Yoey likes the Pittman trade, but he kind of echoed

241
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: with kabali tweet it had been the victim of some

242
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: bad QB playing, which is why his numbers aren't eye popping. Well,

243
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman, if you think your numbers are gonna be

244
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: eye popping, here, I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

245
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: Tom.

246
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: I was at Bob's Diner Carnegie today and there are

247
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: a bunch of old guys in there, and I'm old,

248
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: but older than me, And one guy asked, we will

249
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: have the Pirates were gonna be this year? And another

250
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 2: old guy at different table said I'm afraid I've got

251
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: some bad news. It was like with with the with

252
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: the with the emphasis, with the Wade Barret thing. It

253
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: was just delightful. Gotta talk Penguins. Penguins are one oh

254
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: and one with both Sid and Gino out and three

255
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: two and two would sit out that since the Olympic break,

256
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: and that's acceptable, and the Penguins got guts for days.

257
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: We saw that yesterday and the comeback win over Boston.

258
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: But now you're on the road at Carolina, at Vegas,

259
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: at Utah, at Colorado, at Carolina again, and that ain't

260
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: gonna be easy. Maybe Sid goes on the trip, maybe

261
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: he plays. Maybe they're working the boys. Look he's on

262
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: the play and he might play. Just hold on, he'll

263
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 2: be back. And maybe it goes bad.

264
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: But maybe the.

265
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: Penguins can tiptoe through this because they just won't go away.

266
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: That win yesterday might have been a season saver. It

267
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: sure felt like it. Five for and overtime over Boston.

268
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 2: Kind of a bogie team, and after trailing three nil,

269
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: Mantha got a couple, Chinakov got it started with a

270
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: five on three power play goal helped to finish it,

271
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: driving into the net Novak put in the loose pucket overtime.

272
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: Carlson set a pick on the overtime goal. Should have

273
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: been called for interference, but it's good to see the

274
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: Penguins get a call or in this case, a non call.

275
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: Carlson had another great game. He has turned into vintage

276
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: Eric Carlson in the absence of Mike Sullivan. And that's

277
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: the reason why for sure, because carl I mean, I

278
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: don't think Sully can him from playing the way he wanted,

279
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: but Carlson just didn't like him. And I look at

280
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 2: the New York Rangers and they're placed in the standings.

281
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: I'd rather have Carlson at least right now do We'?

282
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: Had this insane spinner Rooney backhand goal and the Penguins

283
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: defended by the skin of their teeth and the seat

284
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: of their pants, dives and pokes and blocks and body

285
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: it all added up.

286
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: It was a great game.

287
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: The Penguins are in second in the Metro and five

288
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: points safe in a playoff berth and it looks pretty.

289
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: Good, my boy.

290
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: They could win a shootout, but they lost one to

291
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: Philly at home on Saturday.

292
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: They're one to nine shootouts.

293
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: Can't win draws, have a losing record at home, and

294
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: all that adds up to a recipe for no playoffs.

295
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: The power play has been in massive decline without SID,

296
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: but nonetheless they just won't go away. It's one heck

297
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 2: of a story, and SID will be back at some point.

298
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: I think in twenty more minutes. Shut up, we'll get there.

299
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk to Tommy Hockey. Tom was that game a

300
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: season saver or does it get flushed on this extremely

301
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: difficult road trip.

302
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess there's the potential for it to

303
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: get flushed, but it really felt like a season saver

304
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: in the moment. It was feeling so grim halfway through

305
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: that second period and Bruins going up three to nothing,

306
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: but the Penguins throwing that heart and showing that fight.

307
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 3: It gives you optimism for this road trip that they

308
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: won't just let it get completely flushed, because, as you

309
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: just laid out, there's a ton of reasons why they

310
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: should have let this slip away already and they just

311
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 3: refuse to do.

312
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: So.

313
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: You know what, it'd be great if they could pull

314
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: out a win tomorrow night at Carolina to lead it off. Yeah,

315
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 2: and then you're within six points of them, and that

316
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: would be added adrenaline, however, probably false. And then you're

317
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 2: playing with house money. If you can just win two

318
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: games or get four points on this trip, that would

319
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: be enough I think to hang in there. What turned

320
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: that game around, Tom, I felt like it was that

321
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: do Or goal when a fourth lineter, it's a spin

322
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: a roony goal like that to make it three to two,

323
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: to pull within one after being down by three. I

324
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: think it gets your bench going and kind of makes

325
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: the other teams say, hey, what just happened.

326
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: And then Amantha scores like thirty seconds later and then

327
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: the game's tied, so their heads spinning even more. Yeah,

328
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 3: they needed to make it three to two. When the

329
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 3: third period started, it was desperation time to get that

330
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: next goal. You go down four to one. It was

331
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: pretty much lights out and I don't want to minimize

332
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: what Chinakov did towards the end of the second period though,

333
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: and they were on a five on three. If you

334
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: don't score their mark, then it was definitely gonna go

335
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: over that. Yeah, so big for getting that goal on

336
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 3: that five on three.

337
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: And he drove the net with the puck on the

338
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: game winner.

339
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: He's just I was gonna say everything we expect him

340
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,479
Speaker 2: to be, but he's about ten times what we expected

341
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: Igor Chinnakov to be. Amantha with a couple of goals,

342
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: he now has twenty three on a one year deal.

343
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: He's gone, so they're not going to pay him. They

344
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: probably shouldn't. I think this year's probably not liar, more

345
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: of a last gas. Well he's not that old, but

346
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: but yeah, I don't. I would let him go with

347
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: the clar conscious and good luck to him. But still,

348
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: that's a lot of goals and they're all in tight,

349
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: all trafficky, and that's weird because Mantha is six to

350
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: five tom but he doesn't play big.

351
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: He plays it. He's a lot more finessey than big.

352
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: Plays a skill game. Yeah, and two game tying goals

353
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: yesterday against Boston, just kept tying ties it at three,

354
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: ties it at four. Like he has been such a

355
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: revelation and he's what has been going right for the

356
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: Penguins in a lot of areas. It's just guys are

357
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: I don't want to say, having career years like Mantha

358
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 3: might be having, but pretty damn close to it, or

359
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: playing really to the closest to their potential that they

360
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: possibly can at this point, if not for some of

361
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 3: these guys exceeding it somewhat. I mean, even a guy

362
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: like Carlson returning back to Norris forim is insane.

363
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mantha looks like a no check Men's League version

364
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: of Kevin Stevens. I could see him in Kessel on

365
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: the same line someday at ice Castle out in Castle Shannon.

366
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: Even the overtime goal was weird, A loose puck goal.

367
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: You don't see many of those in three on three

368
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: and Carlson said.

369
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: An obvious pick. Yeah it was. It was like, I

370
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: think that might have even got called the NBA.

371
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: But if you're going to overtime now as the Penguins,

372
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. As far as

373
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: I'm concerned, it's everything possible to get this five now

374
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: and three on three over, to get the goal in

375
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: the five minutes, that's everything I have to There's no

376
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: question about it. There was even a party that was like,

377
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: when the game was tied against Philly, do you pull

378
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: the goalie in the offensive zone and go four four

379
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: on three just because.

380
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: Well, you lose the loser points, I know, but.

381
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: If you got up an empty net or in overtime,

382
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: you lose the loser point. That's why in Russia feder

383
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: Off coaches the Red Army team in the KHL, and

384
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: he does that when they get possession and three three,

385
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: he pulls the goalie and it works more often than not.

386
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: How about the six eight guy, Solderblum. I wish the

387
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Penguins were playing the Nuggets on this road trip and

388
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: not the Avalanche.

389
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: He could post up against Jok.

390
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see him, though, I mean a week

391
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: to a wing with that size, see how he does

392
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: get once he gets settled in with Pittsburgh. I mean,

393
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: if anything, and Kyle shone things, but if anything, he's

394
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: shown an eye for kind of these you know, forgotten

395
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: players and other franchises that still might have some potential.

396
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's no doubt that the Penguin cy Sawder

397
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: blew him differently than the Wings gad and uh and

398
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 2: or maybe the Red.

399
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: Wings liked him.

400
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: It just felt it wasn't working, and he gave him

401
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 2: a change of scenery and got a draft pick in return.

402
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: It's the same principle as trading for Chinnikov, although not

403
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: every deal is going to hit like that. In fact,

404
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: very few will who's the number one goalie right now

405
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: tom And if they started the playoffs tomorrow, would you

406
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 2: stick with the rotation which nobody does in the playoffs,

407
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 2: or would you pick somebody.

408
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 3: I might be tempted to stick with the rotation even

409
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: though nobody does it. But they've just been so staunch

410
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 3: on sticking Effe. Except for a couple of stretches this year,

411
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 3: I don't think either of them are playing particularly better

412
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: goalie right now.

413
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: Shifs.

414
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Skinner had that hot run right after he came

415
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: over to Edmonton, and he's played okay since, but only

416
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: okay shilloffs. If we could just eliminate our memory of

417
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: how bad he is in shootouts, I think we'd think

418
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 2: he's having a great year.

419
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 3: And he bounced back Yesterday's big time after being down

420
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: three to zero. I mean, he made some huge saves

421
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: late in that game. Columbus worries me. Columbus is on

422
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: a ten to one and two run. I was talking

423
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 3: to a local hockey insider, see I can use that

424
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 3: term two insider, and he said he doesn't expect it

425
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 3: to continue. But that's a that's thirteen games where they've

426
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: just been the best team in the league, and their

427
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: top scores were Renski, a defenseman twenty goals in sixty

428
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: five points in fifty five games. And them doing so

429
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: well with the defenseman being a top scorer, and we're

430
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: Rensky's really good.

431
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm not minimizing that. Yeah, but that means it's tough

432
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: to know who's gonna do it. They're tough to get

433
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: a beat on in terms of who you have to stop,

434
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: you know.

435
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: I bet people were saying about a month ago the

436
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 3: same thing about the Savers, right like, oh, this will

437
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 3: slow down, right, they won't be this red hot for

438
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: the remainder of the season. And I don't think that

439
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 3: the Jackets are the Savers. I think the Savers are

440
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 3: a much better team than Columbus. But it's not a

441
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: guarantee that a team that's just you know, red hot

442
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: on a crazy run will just all of a sudden

443
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: cool down, because that's just the natural ebb and flow

444
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: of things. Usually it could just ride this all the

445
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: way into the playoffs. Columbus is a serious worry.

446
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question, Although it's worth noting that the Islanders

447
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: could fade. I'm not sure they're that good. Then again,

448
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure Schaeffer, the rookie on defense will permit that.

449
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 3: And they gave up way too much for Shan. I mean,

450
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 3: that was a ridiculous movie. I don't think it helps

451
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: Crazy move that much. New Jersey's won a bunch in

452
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: a row, but I think it's too late for them. Yeah,

453
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: I have sixty six points.

454
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: Well, staying with Buffalo, they're in first place now, two

455
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 2: points out of Tampa in the Atlantic and they beat

456
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: Tampa eight seven yesterday and what is probably the game

457
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: of the year. And like you said, Tom, I get

458
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: why the Sabers are where they are. They got Tompson

459
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: up front and just a great defensive court. I think

460
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: they will come to be glad Pareco turned them down.

461
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: I just don't think they needed him.

462
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: I think they're good enough on defense, and they have,

463
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: like Sockers scored big goals for them.

464
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: Opportunistic.

465
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: You know, when Thompson's one of the top I don't know,

466
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: top ten forwards anyway in hockey.

467
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: Always loves a When he was here for the Penguins,

468
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 3: I just thought, you know, the team wasn't good.

469
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: To Mason Zucker's right.

470
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 3: Team was wasn't good enough for a player like him.

471
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: I love him on the Penguins. Now, he'd be perfect

472
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: on the Penguins this year, but he's great for the Sabers.

473
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 3: And you're right about the defense they're built through that.

474
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: Do you think if Parreco said yes, there's a chance,

475
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: they would have moved like a power to I.

476
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: Think it would have been power. I think that was

477
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: the peace going going back.

478
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: And I mean, I can see why they'd want Paraco

479
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: because he's big and as good as their defense is,

480
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: he would have provided an element at six to six

481
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 2: that they don't have. But I'm a big Owen Power fan,

482
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 2: and I know he's the least of their young defenseman

483
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: in terms of how he's developed, but he's still very

484
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: good and I think it'll eventually come better.

485
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 3: And that's what you built your team around. Let the

486
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: young guys that gays that you built up yourself kind

487
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: of get it, get their first chance at least in

488
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs before you decide that it's not right.

489
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: Let's see the Devils. Well, the Devils lost yesterday.

490
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: I think it was the Detroit got shut out.

491
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: They had won four in a row. And how far

492
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: are they out of a playoff spot?

493
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: They are? Oh, they're way back there poicts behind the

494
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 2: Islanders in third place. My only fear with the Devil's

495
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: is if they get close, they'll get every call because

496
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: the NHL would love to get Jack Ughes in the playoffs.

497
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it. He had a hat trick.

498
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: I think over the weekend, Jack Hughes like his first

499
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 3: big game since coming back to NHL action.

500
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: He's a player, no question about that. He's a kid.

501
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm rooting for him. I think he can

502
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: do hockey so much good. Although they've already kind of

503
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: dropped the ball on that. He should be everywhere and

504
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll do more ads and stuff like that.

505
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: But after SNL and Tonight Show, him and Quinn have

506
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: just gone back to being hockey players, and that's opportunity

507
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: lost by the league and by hockey. Up next, I

508
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: teased it in the first segment, we'll talk about the

509
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: new sandwich at McDonald's, the Big arch. I think that's

510
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: named after Archie from Archie's on the sauce side. I

511
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: think he invented it and they stole it.

512
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 6: One oh five to nine, it's The Woody Show weekday

513
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 6: mornings at six.

514
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: Of course, X Music on one oh five nine the X.

515
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Mark Madden. Forget this almost fifty pounds talk.

516
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: I cruised it's the Mark Man. Okay.

517
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 2: The Steelers with another get and why don't they just

518
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: let them sign today? And as opposed to legal tampering,

519
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: it's just an insult and waste time when you announced

520
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: it today and you just got to put pen to

521
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: paper on Wednesday. But they signed Jamel Dean quarterback from

522
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 2: Tampa three years U thirty six point seven five mil.

523
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: Tom he is maybe the best cornerback on the market. Correct,

524
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: You could definitely make the argument for that he was.

525
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: And that's not an onerous price. That's reasonable, No, it's

526
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: very reasonable. And again he's not like a number one

527
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: nailed on corner because those don't really get to the market.

528
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: But Joey Porter Junior is supposed to exactly exactly.

529
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: I think now with Dean and Porter and Samuel, that's

530
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: a pretty good group of corners there.

531
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: Does Ramsey state at safety too permanently? Do you think

532
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 3: or do you still toy with getting an improvement in

533
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 3: that room and moving him back to the slot. I

534
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: think he's better in the slot if he just plays

535
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: that nickel position.

536
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you'd have Porter and Dean on the outside.

537
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 3: Ramseyot say, as kind of your extra guy.

538
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that'd be good. What they got in

539
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: safety though, they.

540
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 3: Got they got Elliett coming back, Allian it'll be back.

541
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 3: You'd have to address that room though, and add to

542
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: that a little bit. But you know what, I find

543
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: more value with Ramsey in the slot and having good

544
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 3: corners than having great safeties.

545
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: I find more value in Jammel Dean than I do

546
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Jr.

547
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: I do too, very honest. I think I think Dean.

548
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: I think with Dean and Porter on the outside, that's

549
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: going to be an impactful position, first time in a

550
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: long time for the Steelers.

551
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: No question about it. So I think that that's a

552
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 3: huge move for them. I was hoping that they would

553
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: take a big swing in free agency when it came

554
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: to that cornerback position, and I'm glad that they did

555
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: when after a whale, a Day one type of guy

556
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 3: and not waiting to see who you know, slipped through

557
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: the cracks into Day four and five.

558
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 2: Now, PZ Junior is due for a new contract after

559
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 2: this coming season, correct which means he'd be negotiating now

560
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: now that crazy McDuffie deal. He went from the Chiefs

561
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 2: to the Rams. How does that reset the market? And

562
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: this Porter a guy who can take advantage of that

563
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 2: or will the Steelers feel he's not at that level.

564
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if he can take the full advantage

565
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 3: of it to outdo Trent McDuffie. But he signed a

566
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: four year, one hundred and twenty four million dollar extension,

567
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: So he's making thirty one million dollars per year from

568
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: the La Rams. He's now the highest paid cornerback in football.

569
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: But even if you're not gonna, you know, reset the

570
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: market as a Joey Porter Jr. And get thirty two

571
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 3: million dollars per year, that's gonna help you out a lot.

572
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: That's gonna get you towards the upper ends of the

573
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: twenties as far as the deal is concerned. And that's

574
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 3: I think really got to be one of the more

575
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: top of the line priorities for the Steelers this offseason.

576
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: Would you not agree is to get that extension done

577
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: with Joey Porter Junior? Have that locked up?

578
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

579
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: I think the more you let him think after deals

580
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 2: like McDuffie's, you know what I mean, The more his

581
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: agent or whoever other players. His dad, Oh my god,

582
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: his dad gets in his ziar about you deserve blah

583
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: blah blah.

584
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 3: And you know, remember when JJ Watt made that argument

585
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: about TJ Watt for his you want to get it

586
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: on early because that price just keeps going up. It's like, okay, whatever,

587
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 3: But TJ. Wat's closer to the end than he is

588
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 3: at the beginning. With Joey Porter Jr. That applies that logic,

589
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 3: like he is on the rise right now, and I

590
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: bet he'll have an even better season next year than

591
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 3: this year and his price will go off even.

592
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: I think if you have Dean at the opposite corner

593
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: and Ramsey on the slot, I think that bodes well

594
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: for him.

595
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: I do too.

596
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: If they got to get a safety, though in fact

597
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: they don't get a better safety of what they got,

598
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: I'd be tempted to go with Elliott. Elliott's still under contract, right,

599
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: Elliot's still under contract. I'd be tend to go with

600
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: Elliott and Ramsey.

601
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 3: It's safe because he still haves too, so you can

602
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: still play with Eckles in that nickel position and he's fine.

603
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: But I just think Ramsey is so valuable with the

604
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. If it's possible, I do too. I

605
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 3: do too for sure.

606
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: Uh, Tom, we got to talk about the new sandwich

607
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: and McDonald's, the Big Arch and McDonald's And I don't

608
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: know if this is temporary, you know, like you know,

609
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: like they do the McRib every once in a while,

610
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: or if it's permanent. I suspect it's temporary, like just

611
00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: the promotional item.

612
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: But it's very ray. McDonald's ivelt was something new, except

613
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: this really ain't that new. Okay.

614
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: Listen the ingredients two quarter pond beef patties, three slices

615
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 2: of white cheddar, crispy onions, uh, lettuce, pickles, you know,

616
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: the usual, and a special Big Art sauce whatever that is,

617
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: and a toasted sesame and poppy seed bun. The poppy

618
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 2: seed so the people who take drug tests will pop

619
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: positive for heroin, I would think, But that strikes me

620
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: as basically the Big Mac with different cheese and crispy onions.

621
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 3: It's like a bizarro world Big Mac, right, like if

622
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: you slipped into another reality, this would be their version

623
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: of the Big Mac.

624
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

625
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of this, and I

626
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: guess the difference too, will be the sauce. Right, the

627
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 3: sauce will be the big differentiating point. It'll be a

628
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 3: different tasting sauce than the classic Big Mac sauce. It's

629
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: tough to beat the Big Mac though, And if you're

630
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: gonna be as close to Big Mac sauce and you

631
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: ever figured that out?

632
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 5: I think that is a recipe that is available. It's

633
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 5: a can the Thousand Island dressing it exactly.

634
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, you blend, you can make it how you blend,

635
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 3: like some mustards and some stuff together. I think there's

636
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: some homemade recipes out there. It's been solved.

637
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: Would you eat a big arch? Yeah? I eat a

638
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: big arch. I would McDonald's guy, I would too, you

639
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: know what.

640
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 2: I like McDonald's, but it's so bad, like the fries,

641
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: especially so bad for you. I've eat a McDonald's maybe

642
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: once in the last five or six years.

643
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: That makes sense. I mean, I think you gotta walk

644
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 3: away from that at some point in your life.

645
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 2: Right.

646
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: It's not on the recommended list for Awake.

647
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 5: It didn't make the cut. There's not anything on that menu.

648
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 5: Did they have a salad there of some kind?

649
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 3: I think they did that for a while, right, like

650
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 3: a small little like cup of salad or something.

651
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: Awake in one A.

652
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: They gotta get the vegetable chips like the potato chip imitation.

653
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 2: Back back on the menu. They're out, Tom and that's

654
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: my crew ton for the salad like veggie chips kind

655
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: of things, like veggie straw stuff.

656
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: They're very chippy. I mean they're there, they.

657
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: Are for sure. Veg veggies are good. Veggie straws, veggie chips,

658
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 3: they're pretty good. I'm a fan of those, even not

659
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 3: on a Tom.

660
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: What do you make in Jessica Alba, who's forty four,

661
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: dating Joe Burrow, who's twenty nine.

662
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 3: I feel like it's Joe Burrow just living a childhood

663
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 3: fantasy out right.

664
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: I do too, Like I said on Tim Bens's podcast,

665
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 2: I bet both of them feel like they're climbing mont

666
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: kiliman Jarro because I you know, Joe Burrow chanced or

667
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: head like a Jessica album poster without questioning on his wall.

668
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: What movies did she do? What was she famous for?

669
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 3: Probably like when he was growing up, Superhero Guy, Fantastic four,

670
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: when she was the invisible woman like that was probably yeah,

671
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: it was right in her nee.

672
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: She should have been like Rosy Embark there's.

673
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: A great scene there where she goes invisible to take

674
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 3: off all her clothes to become fully invisible, and she

675
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 3: comes back visible in a bron panties. It's fantastic cinema.

676
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: Did she ever do topless? Probably right, that seems like

677
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 3: something she should do.

678
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: When halle Berry did topless that opened up. Yes, it

679
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: really was.

680
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: They classed it up a bit, didn't it. Although Beverie

681
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 3: and D'Angelo did topless before anybody else in the Vacation movies,

682
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 3: she did it with class.

683
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: She wasn't topless in the Vacation she was.

684
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 3: Oh yes she was. When they were in the first

685
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 3: one in the hotel room. Remember in the Toldless she

686
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: was tough. They were out mark. Wasn't it silhouetted again?

687
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: I think we saw him?

688
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: Well, everybody please look that up on Google right now

689
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: and fill us in. We we can't use the computers here,

690
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: you know, people would, would you know? Just I don't know,

691
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: but yeah, But but so she is probably one of

692
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: his boyhood fantasies. And she's thirty four and she's still

693
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: really good looking, and she probably figures Nah, never thought

694
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: i'd get a young NFL quarterback again.

695
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: This is pretty good for me too.

696
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: And it's top of the food chain, right Like it's

697
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, I mean, one of the coolest looking quarterbacks.

698
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 3: She's driving around in the Batmobile with him, remember when

699
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: he bought the Batmobile? Like this is awesome for her.

700
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: You're right, it's a dream come true in both directions.

701
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: Now, getting back to the NFL, and some of the

702
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: movement for second Minca went to the Jets. Who would

703
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: have thought when the Steelers sabotaged their team grievously by

704
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: giving up a number one pick they could have used

705
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: to get Justin Herbert, to get Minka and go eight

706
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: and eight that year? Who would have thought that Minca,

707
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: after an initial very good run in Pittsburgh, made a

708
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: couple first team All Pro. But now he's a journeyman.

709
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: He's a journeyman. Wasn't that great in Miami last year?

710
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, just gonna get washed away

711
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: in New York on the Jets. Now, in my favorite

712
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: stat mark, the Jets win an entire season last year

713
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: without an interception. That's like impossible to believe. Still, after

714
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: a couple of months removed from the season, Minka had

715
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 3: more than their entire team with a whopping one interception.

716
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 3: Mica has had two picks total in two years. Yeah,

717
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 3: he just he used to be the takeaway now that

718
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 3: was his bread and butter, and.

719
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: People made excuses when he was here that, well, the

720
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: other team's just staying away from him, or he's playing,

721
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: you know, deep as the center fielder. But that's not

722
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: the case now because ain't nobody afraid of him at

723
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: this point. I was surprised Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl

724
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: MVP for Seattle, went to Kansas City. Now I'm not

725
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: surprised Seattle with him go. I mean, he had a

726
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: great Super Bowl, but I don't think he was indigenous

727
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: to their success like some.

728
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: Other guys were.

729
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: That said, Kansas City always seems to get that guy,

730
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: don't they.

731
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: They really do. And I was really thinking they might

732
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: take I love the running back out of Notre Dame

733
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 3: number nine overall if he gets there in the draft,

734
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 3: because he's probably gonna be a top ten pick. So

735
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: maybe he doesn't make it that far. But I'm just

736
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 3: I'm really worried about what they do with number nine.

737
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: Now they got Kenneth Walker in the fold, there's a

738
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 3: total retooling happening.

739
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: There.

740
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: Big mistake they're making though, is bringing back Kelsey. They

741
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: should have told him to just go away.

742
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: I'm actually very happy the Steelers got Pittman and especially

743
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 2: Dean Jamal Dean right the cornerback, but I'm still not

744
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 2: sure where it leaves them because I'm still not sure

745
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: who the cornerback is it.

746
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: You need that last piece of the puzzle before you

747
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: can really evaluate the team, and I guess we just

748
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: assume it's Aaron Rodgers, but he could burn you that

749
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 3: that is still a possibility.

750
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: See.

751
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: I think the reason they traded for Pittman was because

752
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: until Rogers announces publicly, it was going to be tough

753
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: to sign a good free agent receiver, whether it's Well

754
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: Pierce stayed in Indy or ha Dobbs signed with anybody

755
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 2: the Green Bay.

756
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 3: I'm seeing Dobbs go. Mike Evans went to the Niners.

757
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: Why would anybody sign here if they don't know who

758
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: the quarterback is? But they traded for Pittman.

759
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: That's right, he had no choice, and then they signed

760
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: offered them the extension after the trade.

761
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: And at that point money talks. We got out of

762
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: hockey talk.

763
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: The rest of the show we got Matt Barkowski joining me,

764
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: got up, We got Ryan Malone, Bugsy. So it's gonna

765
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: be a big hockey day because the Penguins, I mean,

766
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: they're the story. They're the story. I mean, I hate

767
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: to burst your bubble, but like I love getting Dean,

768
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: I like getting Pittman, it all leads to ten and

769
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: seven again, it all leads the same thing. This team

770
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: will never truly step way forward until it's willing to

771
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: take a few steps backward.

772
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And they will never do that. And we

773
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: just brought up the Chiefs six and eleven. Last year

774
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: they took a step backwards and it was kind of

775
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 3: forced on them. They didn't want to do it on purpose,

776
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 3: but once the season went that way, they just fell

777
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 3: back into it. They just embraced it. Top ten pick.

778
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 3: Now they're going out and making moves.

779
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: I think Patrick Mahomes is more likely to win another

780
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowl than Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson.

781
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good take.

782
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 3: I mean, how could you not say that he's the

783
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 3: one that always stops them in their tracks. Last year

784
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 3: was the year they could get away without having to

785
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: face him, and they both failed.

786
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: You know who is gonna win a Super Bowl.

787
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, Jessica Alba, no Joe Burrow with

788
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 5: Alba on the stage.

789
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: She'll She'll be the cougar version of Taylor Swift. One

790
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: oh five to nine. Tomorrow nights, it's the Pens against

791
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: the Hurricanes.

811
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 3: things is never fun.

812
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: So listen up. Pregay Show one D.

813
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: First hot of the program, brought to us by good

814
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: friends at Shander Rovich, Sendrorovic and Fishman. They only charge

815
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: twenty five percent. Everybody else charges forty. We've been talking

816
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 2: about Jamel Dean the I think the bigger of the

817
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: two signings today. Although Michael Pittman Junior is are good

818
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: get it wide out, both physical players at their respect

819
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: to positions. But according to our football guru Matt Williamson,

820
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 2: Jamel Dean was ranked fourth overall at cornerback by Pro

821
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 2: Football Focus and the passer rating against throws into Jamel

822
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 2: Zeene's area of coverage was forty six point nine, the

823
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 2: best in the National Football League.

824
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: Now, I don't like that.

825
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 2: Pittman's twenty eight, and somebody pointed out on Twitter, well,

826
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 2: Jamel Dean is thirty and you know what that is

827
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 2: when cornerbacks can take a turn for the worst.

828
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: Uh.

829
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 2: But you know, in a vacuum, these are both good gets.

830
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 2: These are both good players. But my problem is that

831
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 2: there are signings for right now, right this second. Let's

832
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 2: win as much as we can this year and that'll

833
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: end in the first round. Like it, like it, always does. Uh, Tom,

834
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 2: what do we got for the trifectam?

835
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 3: For the day's trifecta, Mark, I was gonna look at

836
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: some of the three bigger deals outside of the Steelers

837
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: that have been made so far in free agency. We

838
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 3: already talked about the Kenneth Walker one, so let's get

839
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 3: that out of here. Actually, in suben number three, Mike

840
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 3: Evans going to the San Francisco forty nine Ers, which

841
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 3: just recently.

842
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: Broke, how much he still got left.

843
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: I'm very curious to find that out, especially in an

844
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: offense like Shanahan's offense.

845
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 2: If Campa Bay, well, no, that might be a good

846
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: fit for him in San Francisco.

847
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: But if I'm Tampa Bay, I'm not sure. I'm that

848
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: bothered about him leaving.

849
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: I'm not, But it is a It is an example

850
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: of a franchise moving on from an all time greade. So, hey,

851
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 3: Penguins fans, you're looking for that in a couple of months,

852
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 3: there's another shining one for you.

853
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 2: In the Powers with Cuts. You don't want your dressing

854
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: room to become a museum.

855
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 3: I love when you put that. That's a great way

856
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: to put it, and I'm that up. I didn't see

857
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 3: a question. Number two, Malik Willis to the Miami Dolphins,

858
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 3: the first quarterback to go off the board forty five

859
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 3: million dollars guaranteed for him. It's a lot more than

860
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: what Justin Field's got from the Jets. And it's a

861
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 3: little bit of a head scratch that the Dolphins went

862
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 3: after him, to be honest with you, because it seems

863
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: like they're making a bunch of other moves to be

864
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 3: really really bad this year, and then they go.

865
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: Out and they sign. Maybe what people think this.

866
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: Is they maybe they figure if they're really bad, he's

867
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: still there when they start to get really good again,

868
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: and he could be part of that because you can

869
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: turn it around quickly.

870
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: In football, especially if you haven't.

871
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: The Steelers, well, I don't have that position, especially if

872
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: you try to turn it around. If the Steelers are

873
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: just trying to maintain, every move they make is trying

874
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: to maintain.

875
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 3: You get the quarterback, and everything else just jump starts.

876
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 3: Everything else just starts to fall into place for you.

877
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: I thought two was going to get ninety nine million

878
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: over the next two years from Miami to not play for.

879
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 3: This crazy number one though not a move that was

880
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: made today. We're forgetting about it because of the free

881
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 3: agency Frenchie. But the Crosby to the Ravens, I mean

882
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 3: that might be the move that defines the entire offseason

883
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 3: and the future NFL landscape for twenty twenty s. I

884
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 3: mean that has changed the game for the AFC.

885
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: I like the moves the Steelers have made today. Right now,

886
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: they're the third place team in the division. If Lamar

887
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 2: and Burrow both stay healthy, the Steelers are for sure

888
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 2: the third place team in the division.

889
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 3: The Ravens probably last year you said you thought they

890
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 3: had the best roster in football. Without the Crosby move,

891
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 3: you could probably make the case of healthy Ravens this

892
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: year would have been the best AFC roster. Now you

893
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 3: ad Max Crosby on top of.

894
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: That, and don't sleep when the Bengals in Burrow presumably

895
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 2: being healthy, if the little worn out from Jessica Alba,

896
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: like people just don't. I mean, Burrow has been in

897
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl and in an AFC Championship game.

898
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: He's the real thing. When he's healthy, that's it.

899
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: When he's healthy, Tom, I honestly think he is the

900
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: best pure quarterback the classic drop back throwing and has

901
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: mobility to type a quarterback.

902
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 3: God, it's easy for me to agree with you. I

903
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 3: love Joe Burrow. I've loved him ever since he came

904
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 3: out of LSU, And it is ridiculous that people kind

905
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 3: of like don't take what he's done in the NFL

906
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: as seriously as they should because of that injury curbulence

907
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 3: that he's gone through. When he's on the Bengals, who

908
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 3: were seeing franchise that he got to a super Bowl

909
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 3: and was in that Super Bowl. You know, it was

910
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: an Aaron Donald sack or forced interception away from maybe

911
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: winning that game.

912
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: He just didn't get to a super Bowl. He got

913
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: to a Super Bowl with the Bengals one oh five

914
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: nine The X
