1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: What's going on Steelers Nation Radio?

4
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, and welcome to the Drive here on the

5
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: Steelers Audio Network. We Shouler and Matt Williamson with you

6
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: on this Tuesday. As Matt, I think we finally have

7
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: our fifty three man roster.

8
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we're coming at you live here and at

9
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 4: four o'clock is the deadline. It looks like they are

10
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 4: officially making all the moves here. We can react to

11
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 4: all of them, you know, right.

12
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: Exactly right, and uh, here we go, just kind of

13
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: coming across the timeline here. The Steelers have waived Echo

14
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: Leota being Bishop Sebastian Castro, the Marvin Leal, Dylan Cook,

15
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: Kasehawn Williams, Dominique Davis, Brandon Johnson, Chuck Clark, James Pierre,

16
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 3: Max Sharping, Tray Sermon, Robert Woods and placed on the

17
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: injured list designated for return Corey Trice Junior.

18
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: Couple surprises up there, okay, I think.

19
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: It's the first. I'm digesting all these, mainly.

20
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: With the defensive backs. There a couple of names.

21
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: Three corners that we're all let go.

22
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: Between yes, Trice going on and then not only Beanie Bishop,

23
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: but Pierre is well too.

24
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: With Chuck Clark, I know he's a safety.

25
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: But right there must be they must have their eyes

26
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 4: on other defens Did you say Castro was also.

27
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: On Castro was also on that list?

28
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, because if Clark wasn't gonna make it, I

29
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: figured Castro was the only one that had a chance. Okay,

30
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 4: So boy, there's a lot to unpack here. So now

31
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: there could be funny business. So we talked about this yesterday,

32
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: like there could be funny business for twenty four hours

33
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 4: where you're gonna keep a ton of d linemen and

34
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 4: then no, you're gonna cut one because you're gonna grab

35
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: a corner off the bears or there's a trade or whatever.

36
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 4: Who the heck knows. But that's a little surprising. I mean,

37
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 4: so if I got this right, there's only seven defensive

38
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 4: backs on the team. We'll see I mean at the

39
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 4: second at four to one or whatever.

40
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: You know, this is one of those weird kind of days.

41
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 4: It's a really weird day where none of this is

42
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 4: the final answer, none of that.

43
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: That's a perfect way. And like I always there is

44
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: so much of and this is the age that we

45
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: live in twenty twenty five, and it can kind of,

46
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: you know, drive you crazy at times and things like that.

47
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: But like there is so much of.

48
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: People who try to make it seem like they know

49
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: a bunch, but they're real cryptic about it on social media.

50
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, does that make sense? It does.

51
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: Like, so there's been a lot of people that you know,

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: I've just as you can imagine. I'm sure you did too,

53
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 3: and kind of everybody in Steeler Nation has.

54
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: You know, done this kind of like Omar CON's not done.

55
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: Omar Kan's not done, of course, but at.

56
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: The same time, nobody's saying anything. So like I think

57
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: one of those things that you can immediately start to

58
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: look at is we know that there's a ton of

59
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: you know, wide receiver names that are now available across

60
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: the NFL.

61
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I mean, I won't have a Jacoby Meyer segment today,

62
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: right Yeah.

63
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: And you know, like we heard earlier today the Steeler

64
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 3: are releasing Robert Woods, you know, like that's I don't

65
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: think that's a shocker to anybody at this point. But

66
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: we also heard earlier today the Browns are releasing veteran

67
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: wide receiver Deontae Johnson, formerly of his parish Jacoby Meyers,

68
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: you know, becoming available. Like, there is a lot of different.

69
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: There's tons of balls in the air.

70
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: You keep you keep having these great ways to describe it.

71
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: Yes, and so that's why that's why it's hard to

72
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: kind of balance the numbers in all of the information

73
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: at this time.

74
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I bet if we were to pull up

75
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 4: the official roster, which probably isn't even on Steelers, it's

76
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 4: not yah, but probably that's just happened, that would be like, Wow,

77
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: there's okay, go ahead.

78
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 3: No, I was just gonna say, breaking news, Najie Harris

79
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: is gonna go on the non football injury list. So

80
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: that just coming across the timeline. That doesn't sound good

81
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: about the stuff with his eye.

82
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: You know, he hasn't done anything in the Charger uniform.

83
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: Either, exactly right. That's a bum Sorry to distract you there,

84
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: but that just popped across the timeline there.

85
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 4: I know we're gonna talk fantasy running backs later, but

86
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: that makes I love for Mary at Hampton even higher.

87
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: But that's not great news for the Chargers. Bummer for

88
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 4: him too. I mean, I hope he's physically okay, like correct,

89
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: see okay, and all that stuff too.

90
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, let alone football, let alone football stuff. But there

91
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: are there are a lot of uh non.

92
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: Final answers today, even when kind of we see the

93
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: fifty three man in the initial depth chart and all

94
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: those different things.

95
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: Absolutely so. And there's a lot of things that even

96
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: happened punnter stuff since we got together last too. I mean,

97
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 4: like that that what you just read off there was

98
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: like the final wave of a.

99
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: That's a great point too. Maybe we should start with Yesterdayah.

100
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: Say, there's there's just so many moves totally, maybe it

101
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 4: goes to all of them.

102
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: And this kind of sounds like I'm laughing as I

103
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 3: say this out loud, because I guess only in a

104
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: place like Pittsburgh where your football obsessed, would I ever

105
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: say something like this.

106
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: But like, let's start with talking about the punter.

107
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: The surprise, the biggest surprising news at punter here, Matt

108
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: uh Cam Johnston released by the Steelers yesterday, like shortly

109
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: after you and I went off air.

110
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and I'm a little shocked you couldn't turn

111
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 4: him into a pick, not really, I mean again, he

112
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 4: won't he won't stay on the open market long. I

113
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 4: didn't study every one of their punts since he's been

114
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 4: back from injury, but they seemed pretty equal. I thought

115
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: Johnston would have got the call. But I think it's

116
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: key to understand that you do save two million cap space,

117
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 4: which could be going to Jacoby Myers or Boswell or

118
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: you know, Cam or whatever. You know, Like the stuff matters.

119
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: It's not just nickels and the cushions, you know.

120
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not you saved two hundred k, right.

121
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly. I mean, if one's a nine out of ten,

122
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: the other one's an eight point eight out of ten,

123
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: give me the money, you know.

124
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 3: And along the lines of everything that we discussed too,

125
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: if the Steelers are still going to do some wheeling

126
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: and dealing here in the next twelve days until they

127
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: play a game now.

128
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 4: You definitely might need the money.

129
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, And.

130
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 4: Like I'm not implying there to make a deal for Myers.

131
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: But on McAfee's show today, Schefter was on there and

132
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: said only one team has called about Myers in the

133
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 4: last twenty four hours.

134
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about that for a minute.

135
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: And he said that team wanted the Raiders to pick

136
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: up a portion of his contract, well if you have two,

137
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 4: because a lot of teams own the money right now.

138
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: It's hard to make a trade for a lot of

139
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: teams right now because they don't have a ton of

140
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: available cap space, and a lot of them have tapped

141
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: out the Bank of Mahomes or Josh Allen where they

142
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 4: can just make free stuff up. They already did that.

143
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: But if the Steelers are one of the few and

144
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: I think they are, that have cap space and they

145
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: just created two million more and they tell the Raiders,

146
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: and I have no clue if the Steelers were the

147
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: call or not. I'm hoping they are. And we can

148
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 4: talk about Myers later because I really hope he's a target.

149
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: But hey, we don't need you to pick up any

150
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 4: of the money. You know, if two or three teams

151
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: call him and say, hey, why don't you pick up

152
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: half his deal for this year, we'll pick up the

153
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: other half. But the Steelers, and I think part of

154
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 4: this was like what happened with Ramsey and John, who

155
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: too was we can we can flip the bill, but

156
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: we'll write the checks so you get more in return

157
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: if you can do that, and it's a great Omar trade.

158
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: So far over his GM hood.

159
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: And a lot of times, Matt, I think that is

160
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: I think it's important to remember that that's kind of

161
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: where Omar started.

162
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: No doubt, you know, and never forget his roots, right.

163
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: That if you're if you're, if you're listing his strengths

164
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: like that is one of the things that that certainly

165
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: should be pretty high on the list.

166
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, the especially in today's modern NFL that's such big

167
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 4: business and all the maneuvering and right.

168
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: And I know you did a you did a great

169
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: job of I mean, I forget exactly how you said it,

170
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: but you kind of linked the two whenever the Jalen Ramsey,

171
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: John hu Smith make a Fitzpatrick trade happen, just in

172
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 3: the sense of it's like the same conversation that we

173
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: had back what a little over a year ago when

174
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: we were talking so much about centers, right, and like,

175
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: would you really take one in the first round? Though,

176
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: because of what that fifth round option or that fifth

177
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: year option. Part of me looks like we see that

178
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 3: now with Tyler Linderbaum, he's making more money than a

179
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: lot of the tackles, you know, because oh.

180
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got the Ravens.

181
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 5: By the short he's kind of got the Ravens right

182
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 5: where he wants them in terms of his negotiations, all

183
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 5: the capology behind building your NFL roster, and like how

184
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 5: you laid out, it's.

185
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: Just kind of smarter and makes more sense to be

186
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: spending your secondary money at corner as opposed to safety.

187
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 2: Like, these are all things.

188
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 4: You can find a thornhill for a couple of million.

189
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: These are all things that Omar knows very well. Yeah,

190
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: and you know, maybe then in that kind of scope

191
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: of things, the Cam Johnston decision decision shouldn't have been

192
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 3: as surprising to.

193
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 4: H Yeah, and we always have hindsight in these things.

194
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 4: But I kind of thought when as soon as I

195
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: heard the news, I'm like, both guys are good. Two

196
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: millions worth a lot. You really need to spend a

197
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 4: ton on Boswell and Johnston combined and have like the

198
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 4: most expensive specialist room in the league. You know, it's

199
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: probably not where this GM wants to spend his money either.

200
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: You know, I can find punters, you.

201
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: Know, Matt, real quick, I made a mistake, and this

202
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: is going to happen because I'm reading there's so much

203
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: going trying to keep today and a big thanks to

204
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: Raoul for pointing this out to me on Twitter. Najier

205
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: Scott moved to the active roster.

206
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: Oh good part of him.

207
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I was wheeling and dealing and reading this quick

208
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 3: and breaking nausey stuff across the time.

209
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: Line, and good for him.

210
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: I was hoping that.

211
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: So sorry, so nausey actually just got activated by the Chargers.

212
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 4: Okay, Now that doesn't mean he's playing week one, but stepping.

213
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: Right, stepping the right direction for Naji. So I apologize

214
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: to everybody out there for reading that. See, that's the

215
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: whole I was reading too hastily. My reading contrehension has

216
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: never been my strength.

217
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 4: And it's four o'clock in the whole league is just

218
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 4: a bazillion things going on, and you're on Twitter, as

219
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,239
Speaker 4: we can see, and there's just a thousand things happened.

220
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: A thousand different things happening, uh, including you know, Mark

221
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 3: Marquez Voutez Scantling being released by the Seahawks, a former

222
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers guy. There's a few of those. Sure, yeah,

223
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: let me ask you. And again we'll get later on.

224
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: It's kind of all this news and everything and yeah,

225
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: and we've got, you know, still another hour and forty

226
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: five minutes here, just on the surface, would you be

227
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: I'm I think I know your.

228
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: Answer, and I think it's gonna be Jacobe Myers, but.

229
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 3: More interested in pursuing him than an ex Aaron Rodgers mvs.

230
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 4: Allensky mvs. To me, is big and fast and drops

231
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: a lot of passes and runs well on a straight line,

232
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: and that's it.

233
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: I mean you can find that.

234
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 4: Yeah. I like his size speed combination. I mean that

235
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 4: would be a nice compliment to Metcalf, but I need

236
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: a better player than that. To be honest with you,

237
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 4: I don't think he. I'd rather run Scotti, Miller out there,

238
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 4: let alone Wilson or Austin, So he doesn't. His isn't

239
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 4: the answer to me. Dobbs is intriguing because it would

240
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 4: be what does Dobbs cost me? I there was rumors

241
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 4: there's a chance he's gonna get cut today. I don't

242
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 4: think he did. I wouldn't believe it if it did.

243
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: Myers I think would be a little more expensive. But

244
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 4: I'll be honest. I mean, really, since the pickings trade,

245
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: I haven't felt as passionate about going after a receiver

246
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 4: I think as much as Myers. Okay, in terms of

247
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: what the Steelers need what he would cost. He's a

248
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 4: clear too. He's not a threat to not that it'd

249
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 4: be bad to have McLaurin, but I mean, like sure

250
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 4: Medcastle one, he's the two. He's better than the other

251
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: two threes. You don't have to spend an early early

252
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 4: pick on him, you don't have to pay him, but

253
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 4: not metcalf money. You know, he's good. He's good on

254
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 4: the outside. He's not just a slot. He played a

255
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 4: lot of slot with the Patriots, but he's played a

256
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 4: lot outside with the Raiders. He's six one, two hundred pounds.

257
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 4: He's not a little fella. He's a route runner. I

258
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 4: think he'd be a really good match with Rogers in

259
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: terms of being where he's supposed to be a professional

260
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 4: route runner. You know, Rogers.

261
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: Loves that makes a ton of sense.

262
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: And they also signed to Mary Cooper yesterday by they.

263
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: Also did sign a Marii Cooper and he to me

264
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 3: feels like a very realistic number two fifty DK metcalt.

265
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: As opposed to Auker McLaurin or like, that's fun to

266
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: talk about.

267
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: It, that's fun to talk about.

268
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: But you get trade for two of them in the

269
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 4: same year, right, I don't know.

270
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: Karin was making what thirty two million a year. You're

271
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: gonna pay DK thirty five and pay him thirty.

272
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 4: Two seventy between the two of them or whatever, as.

273
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: Opposed to Jacobi Meyer, whose cap hit comes in just

274
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: a little shy of fifteen million dollars.

275
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: That's fair number two wide receiver.

276
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 4: And I think you'd have to bump them to twenty.

277
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: I mean that's I mean, he wants money. He's gonna

278
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: be a free agent after the.

279
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: Year, right, you'd want to sign him to a new contract.

280
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: He's probably gonna ask for twenty five. You're gonna come

281
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: in at twenty. It'll end up being twenty one or

282
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 4: something like that, or you know, and and he's only

283
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 4: twenty eight or twenty nine years old. I think you

284
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 4: get three good years out of him as your number two,

285
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: and I think it'd be a really friendly pairing. Let

286
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: let alone the three behind him for next year's quarterback.

287
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: You have two veteran you know, I always am thinking

288
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 4: about building that nest. Yeah, I mean, if the Steiards

289
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 4: are ten and Ozero and his favorite to win Super Bowl,

290
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 4: I'm still gonna think about nex years quarterback.

291
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: And I think we joked about not I mean kind

292
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 3: of joke, but being serious as well too. That is

293
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: something that we will keep an eye on throughout the

294
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: regular season.

295
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: The quarterback conversation in college football.

296
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: Oh, how the draft, how the draft order is looking

297
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: in teams that will be looking for a quarterback as

298
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: well too.

299
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 4: But just preparing this roster for that guy too. Yeah,

300
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 4: you know, like I don't necessarily one a first round

301
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 4: quarterback and a third round receiver learning together. I'd rather

302
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: have two quality guys, veterans in place.

303
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: You guys have the money, You'd have two guys in

304
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: their late twenties kind of of their of their powers.

305
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: And two years from now you draft won the first

306
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: round and one of them moves on or whatever.

307
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: Right you and you you've invested in that nest for

308
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: the offensive line, you know, I mean, you can really

309
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: start to see the.

310
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 4: The Myers is very attractive to me as it stands

311
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 4: end of August here if by chance you can if

312
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 4: he is going to get traded. But you know, they

313
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: signed Marty Cooper the day or second after, which is.

314
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: Weird because when the Jacobe Meyers stuff originally broke, Matt right,

315
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: my first thought, like I think a lot of people,

316
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: and I.

317
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: Can tend to be cynical with this stuff. Is okay, Well,

318
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: he's just angling for a new contract.

319
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 4: And that's ninety with all these guys, the Miles Garrett

320
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: saying all yeah, yeah, I mean, Hendrickson even got.

321
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: Terry mccluur. Michael Parsons might be the outlier, sure, but

322
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: for the most part.

323
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 4: But when they say only card they have.

324
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: When they sign a Marii Cooper though, that makes it interesting.

325
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's a whole new staff that didn't bring

326
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 4: him in to begin with. It's a new quarterback. Clearly,

327
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 4: since Myers arrived, brock Bauers is now the alpha dog

328
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 4: in the passing games that didn't exist before. They're gonna

329
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 4: play a ton of twelve personnel with Bowers and Myers

330
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: the two tight ends. So and frankly, if they're smart,

331
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 4: they're gonna look at it like, Okay, we're an improved team,

332
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 4: but we're probably not gon wing to the Super Bowl this year.

333
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: And if we're not gonna give money after the year,

334
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 4: why not get a third or fourth round pick or whatever,

335
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Yeah. No, by the way,

336
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 4: they traded for Kenny Pickett, and since we got together

337
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: they did. That's so much going on in the league.

338
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: How about how about a Gino and Kenny a little

339
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: backyard brawl? Oh, I think we're always gonna think quarterback

340
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: room there for a lost b.

341
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that that's certainly the McAfee schefter on there today.

342
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: I think was it Kirk herb Street that was hosting

343
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: the show today?

344
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: I think I don't know. I just saw quotes and

345
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 4: retweeted him.

346
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: I would I would be very hopeful if the Steelers

347
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: were that one team that they were discussing, uh, and

348
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: I take.

349
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: On the phone them right now, I mean, if they

350
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 4: didn't talk last night.

351
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: And I take it to this is another one of

352
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: those I think I know the answer. But of all

353
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: the different wide receiver scenarios that we've floated since late July.

354
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 6: Since Ayuk, this is the one you wrote the most

355
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 6: for what it would cost and yeah, like for the time,

356
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 6: like him more than Terry mcclaury, exactly what it would

357
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 6: cost and what you would have to pay him, all

358
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 6: those things.

359
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 4: I think. So, I mean, of all the moves that

360
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 4: I think are feasible, and most of them came kind

361
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: of came to fruition and what I think Myers would cost.

362
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 4: Maybe the Raiders be like, he's any second round pick

363
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 4: for him, Well, then I'm then then that's not the answer.

364
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 4: I think he's a fourth and a sixth, you know,

365
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 4: maybe a third at most, And I think that's rich

366
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: and you can get a fifth back or something or.

367
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, pick swap something.

368
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but considering the money, the age, the dudes you have,

369
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: he's like the NFL definition of a wide receiver two,

370
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 4: you know, and then that's that's I think that's exactly

371
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 4: what they want, you know, And he can play outside,

372
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 4: you know. So he's not the only one that I

373
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 4: think would fit the bill, but I would be very intrigued.

374
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 4: And I even threw his name out there when I

375
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 4: threw his name out six months you did, Yeah, I

376
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 4: mean he's been on the tip of our tongue a

377
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 4: couple of times.

378
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no doubt about that. And so again, like

379
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 3: plenty of moving and shaking, there's there's a lot to get. Oh,

380
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 3: I did want to, uh, just the kind of the

381
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: cuts from last night as well.

382
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 4: Too, the break and then do that or up to you.

383
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: You're in charge, man.

384
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: It's a good question. I mean, we could take there's

385
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: a lot of we could certainly take a break here. Yeah,

386
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: let's take a break here. There's place that's what I

387
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: want to do. I'll talk all day. Hey, that's fine

388

401
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: the National Football League, Matt, before we kind of get

402
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 3: back into the news and some of the names of

403
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 3: today for the Steelers final cut down, a couple more

404
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 3: that I wanted to discuss with you from yesterday. Yeah, yeah,

405
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 3: including a boy Nichols. Yeah, I'm un expected. Hopefully so many.

406
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 4: Of these names that we're talking about today doesn't mean

407
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 4: they're gone forever. Guys. You know, I mean, in the

408
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: next two days, I would be shocked if Max Hurlman,

409
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 4: Lou Nichols, a couple of those guys aren't right back

410
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 4: with the team. They put in a lot of good work.

411
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: Julius welsh Off.

412
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 4: By him for sure. Yeah, you know, I mean, I

413
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: guess he doesn't have to. But I mean again, these

414
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: guys have a choice.

415
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: That is also, yes, always important to note that as

416
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: well too.

417
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they've got an offer from somewhere where they think, hey,

418
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to be the number four in Pittsburgh, but

419
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 3: I'll be the number three there.

420
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can always go somewhere else.

421
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, my time in camp was great with the Steelers.

422
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 4: I learned a lot, but I also learned that I'm

423
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 4: fifth on the depth chart.

424
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: If I go back, like the Steelers might look at

425
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: it and say, hey, this guy over here on you

426
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 3: know such and such as practice squad is a guard

427
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: that we think is better than our you know, eighth

428
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: or ninth offensive lineman.

429
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: Whatever.

430
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: Let's go try and try and get that guy here

431
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: so this can obviously.

432
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 4: We could throw him on the practice squad and teach

433
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 4: him our system slowly, and you know that kind of stuff.

434
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: Right, right, right, exactly right, work both ways.

435
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: Again, a lot of balls in the air, but we

436
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 4: do know, you know, starting with the punter news, which

437
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 4: I guess was the biggest, there are a handful of

438
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: dudes we know are gone from yes since we got

439
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 4: there yesterday.

440
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 2: Steve Jones another one of those offensive.

441
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 4: Linemen, get a hold of him.

442
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: Yeah that, you know, like again, a lot of these guys,

443
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: Darryl Porter that I think they'd good things. I think

444
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: we'd like to see in training camp out in the

445
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 3: trap again next year. Certainly Max Harlament and that conversation

446
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: as well too.

447
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Nichols, as you mentioned, I thought Nichols did

448
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 4: really good stuff in game environment, you know, just hard

449
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 4: to tackle and hard to tackle translates, you know, maybe

450
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 4: not the biggest, the fastest, the prettiest, but guys are

451
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 4: hard to get on the ground usually stick around at

452
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 4: that position, you know.

453
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Uh, Matt, let's take a look here.

454
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: It looks like we have uh more moving and shaking

455
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 3: breaking across the timeline here, and let's get back into

456
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: some of the now big names, some of the final

457
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: fifty three that we kind of laid out at the

458
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: start of the show. I I there has to be

459
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: a supplemental move coming at cornerback, like I mean there

460
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 3: there just.

461
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 4: Has to be defensive back in general.

462
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: At dB in general.

463
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Chuck Clark involved in that as well, too, right,

464
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: I Like, I don't I don't think you and I

465
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 3: would have been heartbroken either way with him. No, but

466
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: that now leaves you like there's an extra chair, you know,

467
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: in the in the same channels.

468
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 4: Right right, Yeah, So correct me if I'm wrong, But

469
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 4: I think the only defensive backs on team at four

470
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 4: point thirty on Tuesday are Ramsey, Eccles, Porter, Sleigh, yes,

471
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: Elliott yes, uh, Thornhill kill a Brew.

472
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: That's it.

473
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: Seven is not close to enough.

474
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: I mean you're looking at ten.

475
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 4: I would say nine minimum. I would say, especially with

476
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 4: special teams value, and ten's not crazy, you know, So

477
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 4: there's definitely defensive back moves to be had. There's Trice

478
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 4: is on IR.

479
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: Because Trice is on IR.

480
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's roll through this again here as we

481
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 3: kind of reset, and I'll stick just with the defensive

482
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 3: backs Beanie Bishop, Sebastian Castro, Shut Clark, James Pierre All.

483
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: Waived, Wow, I thought two of those are you on the.

484
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 3: Team terminated always sounds I know, like we didn't incinerate them,

485
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 3: you know, we didn't.

486
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: Like this isn't Star Wars. You put them in the

487
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: blast furnace.

488
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 4: Schwarzenegger didn't come back from the future.

489
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: Hey, I got the bad with Chuck Clark. You've been terminating.

490
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 4: And I find that funny that the old guys get

491
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 4: to terminated. Yeah, Johnston got terminated, you know, like, oh man.

492
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, man, James Pierre, I thought had

493
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: a really good month. Even need to be.

494
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 3: Terminated, right, It's a little harsh, but yes, So Beanie Bishop,

495
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 3: Sebastian Castro, Chuck Clark, James Pierre all from the team

496
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: on the team, and then Corey trist Junior was placed

497
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: on the reserved injured list, eventually designated for return.

498
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, leaves that leaves a lots he could come back.

499
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 4: But still there's that you have to have more defensive

500
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 4: backs for week one than seven.

501
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: No.

502
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 4: I mean, you could play a game with seven, but

503
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 4: you can't have a roster with only seven.

504
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: No.

505
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 4: But there's another shoot, there's to another way to look

506
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 4: at this, and I guess we'd have to figure it

507
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 4: out now. So where are they too heavy? They obviously

508
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 4: didn't cut louder Milk. Like, do they have like eight

509
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 4: the lineman or do they have eight receivers that we

510
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 4: don't know about?

511
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: Like the defensive line. Leal Leo got cut. I thought late,

512
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: I've got cut yesterday this morning. But that's that looks

513
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 2: like it from that group.

514
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: I mean, just a true d lineman. I look at

515
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 4: Leal like an outside linebacker.

516
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 2: Yes, so they kept five off ball linebackers. It appears

517
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: Brunner over Robinson, other way around, right, Robinson over Bruner. Okay, sorry, no,

518
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: Robinson was one of the cutlast.

519
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 4: Ye ye, yeah, right, so I think Bruner's on the team.

520
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 3: Bruner's on the team. Yes, you are correct, So they

521
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: kept five. But it looks like Bruner on the team.

522
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 4: So that's not an excess. That's not a crazy position

523
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 4: right now.

524
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: No, that's man.

525
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: That is did they make the Howard move yet? Or

526
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 4: do they four quarterbacks on the team right this minute?

527
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: That might be. That's a good point by you.

528
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 3: I think it'll have to be four because I just

529
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: saw and we talked about his report yesterday, Jerry Doulac

530
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 3: talking about, uh here we go, we got we got.

531
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: The we got the full full uh roster right here.

532
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, as no, this is just the cutdowns again,

533
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 3: so this is not just a list of the full

534
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: roster such.

535
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 4: I know there's some weird stuff with the timing, like

536
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 4: if you keep and I should know this better. And

537
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 4: I wish Labs was sitting here because he lays it out.

538
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 4: He laid out well the other day. I think there's

539
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 4: there's some advantage to keep.

540
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: Four quarterbacks are on the fifty.

541
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, that makes sense, yes, and they won't be

542
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: for long now. I think there's something to be said

543
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 4: for Howard made the final roster. Then he goes to

544
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 4: IR and maybe it's told Pierre, hang out for twenty

545
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: four hours and we're going to sign you back. But

546
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean that he says, yes, so, but there

547
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 4: is some funny business going on. Not funny business, but

548
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 4: there's the system gets a little confusing, and it's confusing

549
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: me at the moment it is.

550
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: So let's run through it this way right now, Matt. Okay,

551
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 3: here is the Steeler's initial fifty three man roster.

552
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 4: That's what I want to know. Four quarterbacks, okay, which

553
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 4: won't keep up in some way shape or form that

554
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: won't hold for another two days or whatever.

555
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, Mason, Rudolph Skyler, Thompson will hired.

556
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, three running which means they like all those guys.

557
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 4: By the way, I mean that they don't want to

558
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 4: lose them. They're protecting them.

559
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 2: They are protecting them.

560
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 3: That's a good way to put It's almost like a

561
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: like an expansion draft in that ru protect your guys.

562
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: The three running backs that we have all assumed throughout

563
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: this process, Kenneth Gainwell, Caleb Johnson, Jalen Warren.

564
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 4: Okay, that's the least surprising wall.

565
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: Right, five wide receivers that we have kind of all

566
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 3: speculated to this point. You have dk Metcalf of course,

567
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 3: Calvin Austin Roman Wilson, Scotty Miller, and Ben S.

568
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: Kronick.

569
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 4: And we can talk about possibilities to adding that room.

570
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 4: We have to no end and we will continue to

571
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 4: no end.

572
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 3: Then they have three tight ends, but they also have

573
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 3: Connor Hayward listed as tight end fullback.

574
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: So it's the four.

575
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: It's the four that we again move John U, Darnell Washington,

576
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 3: Connor Hayward.

577
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: Just only note theirs.

578
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 3: They have Hayward listed as a tight end and a

579
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 3: full back, not just a peer time like.

580
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 4: He's the only one that goes to the tight end

581
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: full back position room. He goes in with the tight.

582
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 3: End exactly right. And then they kept nine offensive linemen.

583
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 4: The Okay, that might have been one more than we thought.

584
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: The five presumed starters plus Calvin and Spencer Anderson.

585
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 4: Okay, Calvin, I knew it was gonna happen.

586
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 2: Ye it is.

587
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 4: I'm not sure everybody did.

588
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 2: Ryan McCollum and Andris Pete.

589
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: Okay, Now, so nine was where we were originally on

590
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 4: that too.

591
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: So that's the offense. The defense along the defensive line

592
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: kept Cam Hayward, Keanu Benton, Derek Harmon, y A Black,

593
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 2: Daniel a Qualley, Logan Lee, Isaiah Loudermilk, and Azzy Autumn Wayo.

594
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 4: That's heavier than we thought. That's eight, that's more than okay,

595
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 4: that's where some funny business is coming in. That's not

596
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 4: funny business, but that's unexpected.

597
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: So there's an extra body at d line. There's an

598
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: extra body at quarterback, which I think explains, at least

599
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: for now, this is all written in pencil.

600
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: But the thinner defensive back room.

601
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 4: Now the D line. I didn't think. I always killed

602
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 4: his name, the last on the list. I didn't think

603
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 4: he was going to make the team. I didn't either, Okay,

604
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 4: so that one is a shocker to me. Akley is not.

605
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 4: I thought he would be the backup nose and did enough.

606
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 4: And you know, Max was real, you know, adamant, and

607
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 4: he's probably gonna make the team, which I believed. Now,

608
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 4: we didn't talk about this yesterday, and I might have

609
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 4: found out after, but my buddy Chris Hallick had reported

610
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 4: that Benton has some sort of upper body injury. Yes,

611
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 4: and we know Harmon has a lower body injury. Are

612
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 4: you keeping eight because maybe neither one plays week one

613
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 4: or at least it's up in the air.

614
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 3: If you're starting to try and read the tea leaves

615
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 3: and put the puzzle together, I think that's a fair

616
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: thing to hypothesize it.

617
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good word because I think we know.

618
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 3: I don't want to say assume, because there's some real

619
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: like that's a fair, that's a that's act goes, that's

620
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 3: a good educated guess at this point, right, it is like, hey,

621
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: let's see what practice goes for both of these guys,

622
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: because if we're down one, okay, we're maybe a little

623
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: heavy in the play in, but then all of a sudden,

624
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 3: it becomes if Harmon we know he's not playing Week

625
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 3: one in New York, what if Benton doesn't play either,

626
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: then we're feeling light in the defense and we're asking

627
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 3: Cam to play a ton of snaps week one.

628
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 4: He hasn't played at all. I mean, he can't be

629
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: in football shape. I mean, that's how I knock on him.

630
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 4: He just hasn't played football exactly a long time, exactly right.

631
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 4: I mean, you can't ask him to play a lot

632
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: of snaps in week one. That definitely was not the plan.

633
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 4: Hold in, hold out the side. I mean, he just hasn't.

634
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 4: He hasn't take him any snaps since we saw him

635
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 4: in Baltimore.

636
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: And correct the playoffs, correct.

637
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: You can't ask him to play eighty percent of the

638
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 4: snaps right off the bat. If anyone could pull it off,

639
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 4: he could. But that screams to me that my hunch,

640
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 4: just an educated hunch, is Benton's not gonna play Week one.

641
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 4: I think we probably knew that ninety percent.

642
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: Barring a barring a Harmon, I'm sorry, Harmon, barring a miracle,

643
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: this isn't confusing enough.

644
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 4: I know we are all over the place, and then

645
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 4: Benton will probably be on the injured list, like he'll

646
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 4: be questionable for that Wednesday practice, and we'll see how

647
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 4: it goes exactly.

648
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 3: I again, if we are doing educated guess this here,

649
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: I think that that is a fair place to be

650
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: right now.

651
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: Now. I would hate to be without those two. I'm

652
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 4: really getting ahead of ourselves. And Cam Hayward, that has

653
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: not played at all against a team that's gonna run, run, run.

654
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: Round, are getting ahead of ourselves though.

655
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 4: Right Like, I don't like the I mean, the Jets

656
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 4: aren't the scariest opponent, but they're going to run a

657
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 4: thousand times, and.

658
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: They've got can run and two backs that can run.

659
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: And they invested a lot in their own lines, and

660
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 4: they don't have receivers right right right, So I don't

661
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 4: love the sound of that.

662
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: I don't either.

663
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 4: I do not Either's in week two again two.

664
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: Is Seattle at home.

665
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 4: They're also run heavy team. Okay, well that's a bit

666
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 4: concerning linebackers.

667
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: Nine in total, five off ball, the four edge guys,

668
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: Carson Bruner, Malik Harrison, h Nick Herbig Alex Highsmith, Cole Holcom,

669
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 3: Patrick Queen, Jack Sawyer, T. J.

670
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: Watt, and Peyton Wilson. Maybe the only real surprise there

671
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: is Bruner over Robinson, but again we got the Robinson

672
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: news that he was cut last night, so that that

673
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: was coming.

674
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 4: Those are my There's two takeaways from the linebacker group

675
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 4: as a whole. Is I bet Robinson versus Brunner. Came

676
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: down to, Hey, Danny, who.

677
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: Do you like better? And when we talked about that, yes, yes.

678
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 4: And I could easily see why he'd pick brun or

679
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 4: Brunner is going to be a very good special team

680
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 4: or if he isn't already. And unlike the d line conversation,

681
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 4: I'm going to take the outside linebacker news as good

682
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 4: news that they do think her Big and high Smith

683
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 4: will play Week one. You know that injuries are leaning

684
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 4: favorably for them, where they might not be for the

685
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 4: big guys.

686
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: A good good reading of the tea leaves by you

687
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: there as well.

688
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: And after Monday's practice Alex high Smith said, yeah, he

689
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: expects to go. Mike Tomlin kind of gave a you know,

690
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: a down the middle, doult need to disclose anything type

691
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: answer you would expect when asked about those guys.

692
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but pticularly Herb he is yes.

693
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: But but high Smith in the locker room when he

694
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: was talking to media said he expects to be good

695
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 3: to go.

696
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: Okay, alright, defensive backs here for now, A little a

697
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: little light in the wallet. Uh, Brandon Eckles, Deshaun Elliott, Dante.

698
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 4: Kent, Dante Kentante Kent's.

699
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 3: On the team, Miles Killerbrew, Joey Porter, Jalen Ramsey, Thornhill.

700
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: So that's eight, right, that is eight.

701
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 4: We did not count.

702
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: We did not count Dante Kent.

703
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 4: What's funny is maybe I'm just dumb, and.

704
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: I know I definitely am.

705
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 4: I've never included him in the conversation from the start.

706
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 2: Well we also haven't seen how could we.

707
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 4: I assumed he was going to I R see him

708
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 4: in camp next year. Great. That must mean they really

709
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 4: like him though. I mean, if you're going to move

710
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 4: on from I know he is returner skills, maybe he

711
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 4: can be your backup punt returner. He's very athletic. They

712
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 4: didn't see much of them though, but they must have

713
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 4: really liked it for Trice, Beanie and Pierre all to

714
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 4: be gone and Kent to be in I just didn't

715
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 4: see that coming. I thought for sure he was gonna

716
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 4: end up on a.

717
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: List that might be the most surprising of the initial

718
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: fifty three.

719
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 4: Guys that actually him and the Dee Lineman's name I

720
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 4: never mentioned, Yes, Autumn Whale, Yes, I never mentioned either

721
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 4: one of them on a fifty three. Every step of

722
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: the way, I didn't either. But I actually would take

723
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 4: that as good news.

724
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: On Kent, I would take that as very good news.

725
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, we like this guy.

726
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: He's gonna be ready to produce right away.

727
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm sure he'll be an active week one. Yeah,

728
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 4: of course, because you have four corners ahead of them

729
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 4: that are all really good. But they must think he's

730
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 4: a good gunner too. I mean, if you can move

731
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 4: on from Pierre.

732
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: Certainly that that's where I thought Pierre was.

733
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: I thought he had a lot, I mean, almost as

734
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: close as you can be to a lock for a

735
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 3: guy who's the you know, fourth or fifth guy at

736
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: his position.

737
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: Right right, special team or only.

738
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: But if Kent and Brunner can alleviate some of those concerns, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.

739
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: How you get. That's how you get, you know, that's

740
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: how this all shakes out.

741
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 4: See that must again reading tea leaves and digging deep.

742
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: Just from being around it so long, they must think

743
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 4: Kent can be a contributor on defense. Someday maybe I

744
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 4: would make it now, maybe week ten, probably next year,

745
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, and be a special team

746
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 4: or in the meantime, no doubt, or a comparable one

747
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 4: to Pierre would.

748
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 2: Make a ton of sense, A ton of sense. Matt

749
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 2: is still they're light on safeties. Absolutely absolutely.

750
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: I don't kill a Brew on the field, and he's

751
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 4: your third safety. Now Ramsey can do some But I know.

752
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 3: We got to get to a break here, but let's

753
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: pick that. Let's pick that up when we I do

754
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 3: want to talk about that safety room with you when

755
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 3: we return, and hey, if, if, and when it's being

756
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 3: reported that Will Howard will go to IR.

757
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 4: And say, there's gonna be a quarterback move.

758
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 3: Who's who's the defensive back that gets thrown back into

759
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 3: Is it Chuck Clark? Is it Pierre? Is it somebody

760
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: that is currently not in the conversation. Let's let's talk

761
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: a little bit about that safety room and how that

762
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 3: could all shake out when we return. West Shuler, Matt Williamson,

763
00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 3: you know where to get at us if you want

764
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: to get him as well too. It is the Drive

765
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,880

770
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 3: Initial fifty three day. Matt, I think we finally got

771
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 3: our bearings a little bit here.

772
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little bit of madness those first two segments,

773
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 4: but it always is.

774
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to Najie Harris forgetting his news wrong as

775
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 2: well too. How we corrected it. Thank you to all

776
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 2: of me.

777
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 4: I'm glad it's not the other way around of boy,

778
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 4: he's fine and then we're like, oh, he's not. At

779
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 4: least we get correct it for good reason.

780
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 3: That's a very good point, very good point. So, Matt,

781
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 3: all of the you and I say this a lot.

782
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 3: The real journalists of the world, you know, yeah, yeah,

783
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: the Jerry Doulac types, the Chris Hallick type, Yeah yeah,

784
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: you know, are kind of colleagues in the industry, but

785
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: at the same time who have a much different job

786
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 3: than we do, are reporting.

787
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 4: That at the facility very often, right, and.

788
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: We're not trying to you, And I aren't like greasing

789
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: sources to find out about Will Howard. You know, you

790
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: might be greasing sources just to get some thoughts on

791
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: certain players and things like that. But there is a

792
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: fine line between that in the reporting realm of what

793
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: we do. I say this to my friends all the time.

794
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: I'm not a reporter like we are all in the

795
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,439
Speaker 2: media umbrella. But if you use a school example, which

796
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: everybody understands, the principle is much different from the superintendent,

797
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: is much different from the teachers than the.

798
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 4: Tea, the math teachers, all the teachers aren't.

799
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 2: Kind of what it's like under the media as well too.

800
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 4: And hey, the world these janitors, dude, you know what

801
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 4: I mean, like in lunch ladies, and you know right,

802
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 4: I mean, it takes everything.

803
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: That's a quote from a Mafia movie, isn't it? Isn't

804
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: that from The Departed with the bartenders.

805
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 3: The world needs bartenders to Alec Baldwin says that in

806
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,959
Speaker 3: The Departed, And so with that, a lot of you know, again,

807
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 3: the reporter reporters that that are on the beat of

808
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers, reporting that Will Howard.

809
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: Will go to ir Okay, that totally adds up.

810
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: Totally adds up. They're not going to keep four quarterbacks

811
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 3: and it just doesn't make much sense. Roster Clogger's right,

812
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: So when that happens, is it?

813
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 4: I think it might even be twenty four hours.

814
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: It could be maybe by the time we go on

815
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: air tomorrow.

816
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 4: I bet tomorrow will have news on that. So we

817
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 4: think that's a safety.

818
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: I was just going to say, I feel like there's

819
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 2: three potential outcomes. Yeah, yeah, one Chuck Clark back on

820
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 2: the roster.

821
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you said Chuck hold tight for a minute.

822
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 3: Actually, maybe I should lay this out differently, Chuck or

823
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 3: another safety on the roster.

824
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: To be named later. I don't know that it even

825
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 4: be a Steeler, right, I guess it could be castros Still.

826
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 3: Tould be Castro still, it could be Pierre Still. But

827
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: the Dante Kent being on there makes me think that

828
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: that's much less of a possibility.

829
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 4: Right now, we have to recognize Ramsey is very safety capable,

830
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 4: but if you get in a bind where he's one

831
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 4: of your top two safeties, it eliminates so much.

832
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 2: Then do.

833
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: You start to get into some of the issues of

834
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 3: last year where you can only deploy a certain way.

835
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 4: That's different than getting out of a game. You know,

836
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 4: like Okay, Jalen play free safety for the third and

837
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, but you don't want that for the season.

838
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 3: I feel like it comes down to most likely one

839
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 3: of two things, either Chuck Clark or safety from outside

840
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 3: of the organization who we have now not yet seen.

841
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 4: Man, they may have someone identified the gut cut that

842
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 4: was shocked or even at that position. Again, this goes

843
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 4: back to conversation we had a half hour ago about

844
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 4: spend allocating resources. There's probably three or four or unemployed

845
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 4: safeties that will play in the league still this year.

846
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 4: And there's always a safety for.

847
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely right right, and there's why we know the whole

848
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 3: but they the guys off the street. That happens to

849
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: every team.

850
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, But linebacker and safety, there's always a

851
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 4: veteran that will probab that you could live with. And

852
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 4: that's what Chuck Clark was a couple of weeks ago.

853
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 3: And that is exactly what Chuck Clark was a couple

854
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 3: of weeks ago. But that's I am.

855
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 2: What you kind of mentioned to say, what you mentioned

856
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 2: before we went to break is all that matters to me.

857
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 2: Deshaun Elliott won Thornhill player to be named later. I'm

858
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 2: forgetting something Kilber. Yeah, that's all.

859
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all I got.

860
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: I need a gap there between Thornhill and Elliott and

861
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 3: and and Killer Brew.

862
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: From a safety perspective.

863
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 4: They definitely, no matter what if they trade for Jacobi

864
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 4: Meyers Tomorrow or Romeo Dobbs or whatever, they are definitely

865
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 4: adding a safety. In my opinion, that's a number three totally.

866
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 4: And maybe it's Clark, I mean, maybe it's Castro, but

867
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 4: it's there's no way you go into the season with

868
00:39:55,239 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 4: three safeties, and frankly, Killerbrew isn't capable. I mean, like

869
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 4: he can get you out of a game, but you

870
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 4: can't count on him to be your three. He is

871
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 4: a four and an eight special team.

872
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: I'm fine with him being the four in the A

873
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 2: special teams guy.

874
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's worth every penny they give him for that.

875
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 3: You need a true safety unit in that third spot. Yes, yes, yeah,

876
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 3: one hundred pH real quick, because we didn't. I mean

877
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 3: we kind of mentioned this when we talked about Cam Johnston,

878
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: but I don't think I mentioned the three specialists. It

879
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 3: is Chris Boswell Christian Koontz, which is great to see

880
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 3: him on there and not on a list. Uh.

881
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: And then Corliss weightman.

882
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: Those are the three three specialists to round out the

883
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 3: put out the group there.

884
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 4: And I bet that came down to money at punter,

885
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: which is a wonderful tiebreaker.

886
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 3: But again a long way they go out and get

887
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 3: a Jacoby Myers type or another receiver there, even if it.

888
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 4: Just goes in Cam's pocket whatever, you know, it's.

889
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 2: A good point too. Yeah, wherever Chris Boswell is going

890
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 2: to go somewhere, maybe.

891
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 3: Some some potential some potential news there. But yeah, I

892
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 3: think right now my prediction would be, well, Howard goes

893
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: to I R and Chuck Clark comes back.

894
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think that's probably still the most logical path.

895
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 2: I would say it's certainly still worth watching that space.

896
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 4: And that would be And I don't think there's five

897
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 4: teams out there going oooh they cut Chuck Clutch Truck

898
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 4: cut Chuck Clark. I'm going to fire him up right

899
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: now because he was on the street up until a

900
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago, or they were to signed him otherwise.

901
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 4: I mean maybe he had multiple offers at the time,

902
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 4: but probably not.

903
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 3: Exactly right, exactly right, who is the so of all

904
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 3: the names, they're not on the roster if you're the

905
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints or the Carolina Panthers.

906
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 4: Or some bad bad team Browns or is.

907
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 3: There anybody that you're looking at right now and saying, hey,

908
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 3: get on the phone with his agent.

909
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 4: Not I'm going to position by position in my noggin. Yeah,

910
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 4: not on offense, Okay.

911
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 3: Clark Clark, someone like the Marvin lel maybe beating I

912
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 3: guess if you had to need it, Slot, I mean,

913
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 3: that's the thing we're gonna It's.

914
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 4: Is probably the most likely because I saw a lot

915
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four real tape of him.

916
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 3: That's what I think helps him. What hurts him is

917
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 3: that he can play one role for you, and that's it.

918
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,479
Speaker 3: What helps him is he does have some good tape

919
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 3: from last year, not necessarily down the stretch, but it better.

920
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 4: But even if it's not great tape, it's great tape

921
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 4: to evaluate because they're picking on him and he's playing

922
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:27,280
Speaker 4: against my homes in Lamar and not the Jake Plumber's

923
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 4: kid or whatever, you know what I mean, you know,

924
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 4: and they're game planning against them, Like I have a

925
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 4: lot to as a scout. I have a lot to

926
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 4: evaluate on Beanie, and maybe he's not the best slot

927
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 4: corner in the league. He definitely isn't, but he might

928
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 4: be better than my slot corner. And that's all he

929
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 4: needs to be of the other thirty one team slot

930
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 4: corner if he could be at least in the hunt

931
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 4: for to compete with that guy. Some teams just don't

932
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 4: even keep two periods, you know what I mean, Or

933
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 4: a big safety plays slot or whatever. There's a lot

934
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 4: of ways he can play slot, but he might get picked,

935
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 4: he might get grabbed.

936
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, four interceptions last year doesn't hurt his cause somebody

937
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 3: might see that and go, hey, you know, and you

938
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 3: can watch each four of those interceptions to determine how

939
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 3: much were really his individual play versus circumstance.

940
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 4: But that's I bet he plays meaningful snaps in the

941
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 4: league this year, not just on a pride. I mean,

942
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 4: I bet he like.

943
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 2: Of all.

944
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 4: Okay, I guess here's a better conversation. And actually, the

945
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 4: low hanging fruit is Johnston is really the answer because

946
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 4: he's gonna be one.

947
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 2: Of the thirty question. That's a very good point.

948
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 4: But we've talked too much about punters. I'm puntered out,

949
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 4: you know, like it's always the.

950
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 2: Preseason that we have the last five years combined.

951
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 4: But I guess if you phrased the question of everyone

952
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 4: that was released by.

953
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 2: The Steelers today, the answer.

954
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 4: Who will play the most snaps in the NFL this year?

955
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 4: I would bet on Beanie, Yes, And it might only

956
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 4: be two hundred or one hundred.

957
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 2: Sure, but that would be more than Cam Johnston would

958
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 2: have as a punter.

959
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 4: Well that too. I again, like maybe Leo he's getting.

960
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 2: Five or six snaps again Cam Johnston type.

961
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 4: I was just excluding him because he's basically he's especial. Yeah, absolutely,

962
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 4: But I would say Beanie will be somebody's slot is

963
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 4: most likely of the guys they cut.

964
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

965
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 4: I don't think Mark Robinson gets scooped up and people think, oh,

966
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 4: we've got our linebacker problem solved, or you.

967
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 3: Know, one more kind of thing of note that I

968
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 3: think we need to discuss with this fifty three man.

969
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 3: We also have a bunch of tweets rolling in that

970
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 3: we need to get to.

971
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are some good stuff, plenty.
