1 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson 2 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. 4 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: And we are back. I'm Dale Lolli. He is the 5 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and Matt it is time for the Fantasy 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: football focus. 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 3: On fantasy in a while, It is time. It is time. Yeah, 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 3: it is digging into fantasy season as we speak. 9 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking here, sticking with the Pro Football Focus 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: stuff here, and they have their fantasy football quarterback tiers. 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 2: Oh okay, cool, let's roll through these here. Yeah, yeah, 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: kick off the hour number two. Okay, So they have 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: their Tier one guys. Are their quarterback cheat codes? 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 3: Good way of putting it, because I think there's a 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: few of these guys, and then I'm not sure I'm 16 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 3: taking the Tier two three guys. It almost feels like 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 3: you go big for one of these monsters that runs 18 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 3: throws star you know, great team, blah blah blah, or 19 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 3: I might just be like the last one to pick 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 3: a quarterback in my league. 21 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: They've got four guys in the Tier one Lamar Jackson, 22 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: Jade and Daniels, Josh Allen, Jalen j. 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 3: Yeah and everybody has that as tier one, as they 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 3: should do. You have a preference of who should be one, 25 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 3: who should be four. Allen to me is the most 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: consistent every year. I mean yeah, because he scores so 27 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 3: many touchdowns and he doesn't miss games. He doesn't miss games. 28 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: He's the biggest, strongest of them all. Daniels worries me 29 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 3: a little just because it's tier two, you know, like 30 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: that's the only knock I have on the guys, Like 31 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: Stroud wasn't as good into the second year. Just show 32 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: me it again. 33 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: Doesn't have that cheat coche. 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: That's why they're not close for fantasy. But I mean, 35 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 3: just in the real world, could he take a step 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: back as a football player, It's possible. I think Lamar 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: would be my two. Yeah, Hurts is probably my four. 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: Hurts is four, but the NFL not getting ready of 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: the tousch Bush. 40 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: He may not be in that tier without it, right, 41 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 3: but he doesn't throw enough, not enough passing volume. 42 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. 43 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: Burrows almost like the consensus five. 44 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: Tier two. Okay, they call this one. Variety is the 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: spice of life. You get a bunch of guys here, 46 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, Kyler, Murray, Rock Purdy, 47 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: Bo Nicks and Justin Fields. 48 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: They're not all the same. They wouldn't be in the 49 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 3: same tier. 50 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: Is variety, Well, there's variety. 51 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: They would be different tiers for me. For me, Burrow 52 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: stands alone at five. But if you're gonna take him 53 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: as a fifth quarterback off the board, if he doesn't 54 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 3: throw forty touchdowns for you, dude, he probably doesn't pay 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 3: off on the investment. 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: He barely runs at all. 57 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: Barely runs it all, right, I mean, so could he 58 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: throw forty? He might be my vote of who throws 59 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: the most touchdown passes in the whole league, but he 60 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: has to throw forty just to break even on the 61 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: guy right right. Mahomes has not been a very good 62 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: fantasy quarterback lately, but part of me thinks he will 63 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 3: be this year. 64 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 65 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: Plus if he also has had not had Worthy, Rice, 66 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 3: Marquise Brown, Kelsey all on the field together. Now he 67 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: does at the moment. That doesn't mean he will for 68 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: seventeen games. But part of me thinks, boy, everyone's talking 69 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: about Alan and Lamar gaining on me, and Nick Shuk 70 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: has me as my seventh ranked quarterback. Like Mahomes might 71 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: have a monster MVP y. Yeah, Yeah, Mayfield is he's 72 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: now consistent. Yeah, throws a ton of touchdowns, get great receivers. 73 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,559 Speaker 3: But are you paying quarterbacks six or seven price for him? 74 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: Well round, are we talking? 75 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know how long. I don't know the 76 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: gaps between these guys, but I trust him now. 77 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: I'd rather have him than Kyler Murray brought all that 78 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 2: extra justin fields. 79 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, they would be that whole group would be a 80 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: different tier to me. Yeah, Murray's two inconsistent and he 81 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 3: doesn't run as much as you think. Nicks runs more 82 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 3: than you think, but they would run the ball fields. 83 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: You're just banking on rushing and that's fine. 84 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if he can stay healthy doing that. 85 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's got one receiver he hasn't he hasn't. 86 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: I know he's a hot name, and I get it 87 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 3: for fantasy, but I don't know if that canna be 88 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: my quarterback one. Yeah, and who's the other name there. 89 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 3: He'll throw a lot of touchdowns, but that's still awfully 90 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: pricey for rock party that that neighborhood doesn't excite me. 91 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: Tier three the best of the non obvious quarterback ones. 92 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: This group is Jared Goff, Caleb Williams, Drake May, c J. Stroud, 93 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, Dak Prescott, Jordan Love. 94 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's probably the worst player of the group, 95 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 3: but May is the one that stands out to me 96 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: because he's the only one there's any chance to rush 97 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 3: for five hundred yards and that's enough, and he was 98 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 3: very productive. 99 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 2: He might not want him rushing for five hundred yards. 100 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: It might not. I doubt that they'll probably design fewer 101 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: quarterback runs. 102 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 103 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: Those other guys are all really good players, they just 104 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 3: don't run. 105 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: Love runs a little bit. 106 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 3: Love does, Okay, I'm trying. I'm trying to think every 107 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 3: name off the top of my head. Love also played 108 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: injured a lot less last year. He might be at 109 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: the top of my list. Can run, Yeah, I don't 110 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 3: think they want him to, but they actually do design 111 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 3: some runs for him. But at the end of the day, 112 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 3: it doesn't end up with a lot of rushing yards 113 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: of course of the year, any of those guys you 114 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 3: want or is it a lot different than the others. 115 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: I won our championship last year with Jordan Love. 116 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 3: I would say Love might be the one I would 117 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: take first of that group. Yeah, I mean I still 118 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 3: think he's best years or to calm my trust the 119 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: floor first round rod receiver go running off like I 120 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 3: might take him over party. 121 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: I think I would. 122 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, The. 123 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: Tier four guys super flex starters Trevor Lawrence, J. J. McCarthy, two, Attago, 124 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: I Loa, Michael Pennix, Matthew Stafford, Bryce Young, Sam Darnold, 125 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: cam Ward, Gino Smith. 126 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: I can't say any of them excite me. 127 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: None, not a one. 128 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: Who is the highest ceiling fantasy points. 129 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: Ward might be Tua. He hasn't run at all though, Yeah, 130 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: but he also might throw. He might throw forty he 131 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: might throw forty touchdowns because they're d is gonna stink. 132 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: I also am kind of buying Miami offense for fantasy, 133 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 3: like it's not as bad as it was last year. 134 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Tyreek's I'm gonna Who is that list again? 135 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, J. J. McCarthy, to Attago, Vilaa, Michael Pennix, 136 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford, Bryce Young, Sam Donald, cam wore Gino Smith. 137 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: I think you'll see this. I'm talking ab our listeners. 138 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 3: The more of these fantasy lists you see, there are 139 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 3: some people ranking McCarthy really high. Too high, too high, 140 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: I think, too right. I mean, it's all based on 141 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 3: who he has. Well, Donald was the like I think 142 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 3: Donald end up like this a seventh overall fantasy quarterback, and. 143 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: But Donald had so much more experience. 144 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: That's my point. You're right, right, I mean, and the 145 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 3: pundits for McCarthy are like, well, he's gonna run more 146 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: than Donald, not a ton, but a couple hundred yards more. 147 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: And I'm just betting on O'Connell with Hawkinson and Addison 148 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 3: and Jeff. 149 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: They didn't trade for running back for no reason, right, 150 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: I do. 151 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: Think they'll run the ball, right. I've seen people write 152 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: McCarthy in the top ten, and I think that. I 153 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: don't know if that's for clickbaits or what, but that's 154 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: not uncommon. 155 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: I'm not there no Tier five starters with question marks. 156 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, okay, touchdowns, but Anthony Richardson, Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, 157 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 2: Tyler Shock, Daniel Jones. For fantasy purposes. 158 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: Nah, Joe, Well, not as my starter. If Jones is 159 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: the clear starter, I have some interest because he will 160 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 3: run and I like his weapons. 161 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: Here's the problem, though, I mean, I'm taking a twelfth round. 162 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 2: He may be the clear starter by default, yeah, coming 163 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 2: out of training camp because Richardson's hurt, right, right, But 164 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: they're going to want to go back to Richardson at 165 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: some point. 166 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 3: They almost have to. They almost have to, right, I mean, 167 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 3: if they're three and five and Richardson's healthy, they got 168 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 3: probably gonna play. 169 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: They gotta play him. 170 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: But my point is, if I'm using a twelve round 171 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 3: pick on Daniel Jones and he gets benched and we gates, 172 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 3: I'll just cut him pick up Richardson. Yeah, I don't 173 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: think I want any of these quarterbacks this year. Usually, 174 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: especially at this position, there's three guys you can get 175 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 3: in the mid to late rounds that I'm like, oh, 176 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: I'm running the podium value. I'm not seeing that guy 177 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: this year. 178 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 179 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 3: Maybe I will take Josh Allen or one of these 180 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: guys and just be done to me. 181 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 2: Rogers is the one who has a little more upside 182 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 2: potential because you throw a touchdown. 183 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 3: Throw touchdowns. Yeah. 184 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: I mean he threw for thirty nine hundred yards last year. 185 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was twenty eight touchdowns something like that. 186 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 3: He could get there, and. 187 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: He rushed for he rushed for a hundred. It's like 188 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: he didn't do anything. 189 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: Right, right, Maybe, I mean none of those guys you 190 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: wanted to be a fantasy starter want, right, I'm talking 191 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: we're talking back up there. Of course, of course at 192 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 3: this price, that's these are bad groups tier six. So 193 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: you're saying there's a chance Joe Milton, h Jylen Milroe, 194 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 3: Jameis Winston, Jackson, Dart, Shador, Sanders, Kirk Cousins. 195 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: Can he Pickett? 196 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: Dart's the one I trust the most to get on 197 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 3: the field of that group. Yeah, and he runs a 198 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: lot and he throws the neighbors. I mean, I might 199 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 3: pick him up when when that day comes. If Milroe 200 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: would ever see the field, I'm spending heavy to get him. 201 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: I'm not He'll run like crazy. 202 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm not a Millrow fan. 203 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 3: I am, especially for fantas. 204 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: Tom never mind, Yeah, I am a Millroe fan. I'm 205 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: not a Joe Milton fan. 206 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 3: No. No, he would treating be in that tier to me. No, right, 207 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 3: all right? He said one good game? No, and plus 208 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: what's it? I mean, an injury could happen to any 209 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 3: of the starters, but I could at least write a 210 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: scenario where Darnold gets benched or Wilson gets benched and 211 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 3: let's put the kid in for the last six weeks 212 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: of the season, right, you know, in Seattle or New York. Yeah, 213 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 3: I don't like this quarterback crop at all. 214 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: It's rough. 215 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 3: It's rough. I might go for one of the top four, 216 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 3: but they're going to be pricey, and I bet the 217 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 3: ADP keeps. 218 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: Going up extremely pricey. Yeah, and everybody else in your 219 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: draft they might have the same idea. 220 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: Right right, right, And then what are you paying for? 221 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: Like the Mayfield tier? I mean, if you could shut 222 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 3: out on the top four, boy, they're too expensive. I'm 223 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 3: not using a second round pick on those guys or 224 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: a top twenty five pick on those guys. I mean, 225 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 3: Mayfield is a lot more comforting than a lot of 226 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 3: those names. But man, I don't want to be the 227 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 3: guy drafting quarterback. 228 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: Six seven, eight, no, none of all. Yeah, it's it's uh. 229 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: Ye, yeah, I need to do more research on what 230 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 3: receivers and running backs do I like in that Mayfield range? 231 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 3: Can I afford to go do Alan Hurtz whatever? 232 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 2: And then just well, I mean I think one of 233 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: the decisions you have to make is can I live 234 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: with a Jared Goff or Drake May or Jordan Love. 235 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 3: If I'm loaded everywhere else, the answer might be yes, 236 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: especially for like a Love or a Goth that I 237 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: just know what I'm gonna get. Yeah, you know, like 238 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 3: May to me is the one name on there that 239 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: could really explode. But there's a lot of variants. Yeah, 240 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 3: you know, the weapons store aren't great. They're still not 241 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,599 Speaker 3: great at all. But golf gonna throw touchdowns. He's not 242 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 3: gonna run, you know. I mean, like I know what 243 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: he's getting, he's not gonna get. 244 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: The defense might not be quite as good this year. 245 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: They have a tough schedule, might have to throw more 246 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: like if when we get the running backs. There's a 247 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 3: lot of people bumping gibbs up just on the thought 248 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 3: of the Lions have one of the hardest schedules in 249 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: the league. They're not gonna be blowing people latent games. 250 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 3: Given it to Montgomery, they may actually playing from behind 251 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 3: in the second half, and that'd be good for golf too. Yeah, 252 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: you know, raise your passing percentage by three or four 253 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 3: percent and just don't swallow teams up in the fourth quarter. 254 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we'll see, we'll see. 255 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 3: I don't think he'd kill you and it'd be cheap 256 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: and be cheap and be cheap. 257 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: I can get him in the tenth round. 258 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 3: I five the best running backs in my league. Maybe 259 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: that adds up to more points. Yeah, Or you spend 260 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 3: heavy on one of. 261 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: The tight end where you take two of these guys and. 262 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, if I take two, one of them would be 263 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 3: like a May Yeah you know, or one of the 264 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: young guys you know. 265 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 2: Used to stick a shot and get a Jared Golf 266 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: as your fallback option. 267 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. I have doubts about Caleb Williams, but he'd be 268 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 3: a good wild card too. Yeah. He's throwing the big 269 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 3: time weapons right now. 270 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, so interesting. It's just, uh, it goes against what 271 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: I think both of us believe. But those top four guys. 272 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 3: They give you an advantage like every week. 273 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a nice feeling unless you're playing 274 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 2: against for sure. 275 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 3: But I talk about this all the time, Like the 276 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 3: worst feeling ever is I've got I'm playing Dale and 277 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 3: my guys are all done and I've got a thirty 278 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 3: point lead and he only has Josh Allen going Monday night, Like, 279 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 3: h yeah, I feel so comfortable. I had a great 280 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: week and then by the fourth quarter I'm losing by ten. Yeah, 281 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 3: I mean that's what those four do every week. Yeah. 282 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: It's rough, Yeah it's rough, but that's going to do 283 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 2: it for the fantasy football focus. Let's get to another break. 284 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lollie. You're listening 285 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: to the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network, and 286 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 2: I'll be back with more right after this. 287 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson 288 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven Home of the Black 289 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: and Gold cast in Steelers Nation Radio. 290 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: And we are back. I'm Dale, Allie. He is the 291 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and sticking with the list time of year. 292 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's keep it rolling. 293 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 2: Again. Pro Football Focuses put together their list of the 294 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: top thirty two, ranking the thirty two defensive fronts in 295 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: the league. 296 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, I think that Super Bowl is a great example. 297 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 3: But I don't want to have too much recency bias. 298 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 3: But if I could be at the top of any list, 299 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 3: secondary O line, pass catchers, quarterback would be one, and 300 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 3: either O line or D line would be two, and 301 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: I probably would take D line just because there's so 302 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: much different. The great ones are so much different than 303 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: the great o lineman nowadays. Yeah, you know, and I 304 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: assume this list is gonna include like Watton Highsmith. They're 305 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: not calling them linebackers. I think defensive front, yeah, as 306 00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 3: they should. 307 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: At thirty two are the New Orleans. 308 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 3: Saints, Cam Jordan and a bunch of hoping Carl Granderson, Yeah, Jersey, 309 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: And I think Chase Young's back, I think, but he 310 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 3: ain't what he used to be. 311 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: Thirty one the Washington Commanders. 312 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: I mean this, I meant to mention this in fantasy 313 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 3: the Bengals and Commanders to me scream, I went their 314 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 3: fantasy players because I think both defenses are going to 315 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 3: be terrible, and they both have big time quarterbacks and 316 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 3: their offenses look loaded. And this used to be a 317 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 3: huge strength of this team. Remember they sweat and Young 318 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: right all right now, it's like, man, their front's bad. 319 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 2: Thirty No surprise year the Atlanta Falcons. 320 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the two first round picks in the mix, 321 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 3: but what are you gonna get of them? 322 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 2: Twenty nine the Jacksonville Jaguars. 323 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 3: I like the edge guys up the middles. Not great 324 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 3: some of this list. Those shows, like the twenty ninth 325 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 3: d line is a thousand times better than the twenty 326 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 3: ninth O line. Yeah, I mean that all these teams, 327 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 3: I mean, even like the Saints have they still Cameron Jordan. 328 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 3: He's not the pro bowler used to be. But if 329 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 3: that's the worst line in the league, that's still a 330 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: lot better than the worst O line in the league. 331 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 2: Twenty eight. 332 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 3: The Carolina Panthers getting Derek Brown back is going to 333 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 3: go a long way, But it was the worst unit 334 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 3: in the league last year year without him, you know, Yeah, 335 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 3: they just there's not much there. 336 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 2: Twenty seven. This is surprising Tampa Bay. 337 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 3: Hmm. I would be higher on them than that. I 338 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 3: don't know what they'll get out of Reddick. I think 339 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 3: yah Ya Dabis an up and coming player. Kansey is 340 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 3: a specialty guy, but Vey as a stude. Yeah, I 341 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 3: mean D line would be hard to rank because everybody 342 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: has D line, there's so many. But I think i'd 343 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 3: have them a little higher than that. 344 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: Twenty six The New York Jets. 345 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 3: Okay, Quinn Williams is a big time player. He's probably 346 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 3: better than any player mentioned so far. They get Jermaine 347 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 3: Johnson back for my first round pick that I'm high on. 348 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 3: McDonald had a good year but then it starts to 349 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 3: get a little lean. 350 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. Twenty five the Cincinnati Bengals. 351 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 3: Might have them lower their detackles are bad. Hendrickson carries weight, 352 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, but everything else is a question. 353 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not good. 354 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 3: No. 355 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: Twenty four. 356 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 3: If Hendrickson plays for if Yeah, if he does. 357 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: Twenty four of the Green Bay Packers. 358 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 3: No stars. Gary took a step back. Van Ness has 359 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 3: done nothing. Clark's a good player, but not getting better. 360 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: Right. 361 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: They've invested a lot, though they need to get better, a. 362 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: Lot of first round picks it yeah. 363 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 364 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: Twenty three the Seattle Seahawks. 365 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 3: Williams had a monster season. I'm really fond of Murphy 366 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 3: the edge. You guys are okay? 367 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and those guys there's no star. 368 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: There's no star there, right. 369 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 2: Twenty two the Raiders who Crosby's awesome. Yeah. 370 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 3: I'm a Wilkins believer. Out of sight, out of mind though, 371 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 3: the first round pick from Texas text thinks. 372 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 2: I did see a thing about Wilkins that he's still 373 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 2: in a walking boot? 374 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 3: Is he really? Yeah? That's bad. Yeah, but like Malcolm 375 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: Coots is okay, but that's probably where they belonged. I 376 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 3: mean it's there's still in a lot of depth there. 377 00:19:53,600 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: And okay, twenty one this was gonna surprise you. 378 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 3: The forty nine ers doesn't surprise me. No, And they 379 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 3: invested heavily on it because it was bad. It was 380 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 3: Bosa and the Pips, and so they used like three 381 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: high picks on D linemen, none of whom I think 382 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 3: are just like plug and play stars. 383 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: You know they have. But three years ago they were 384 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 2: oh they got two years ago, they were in consideration 385 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: for number one. 386 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 3: Right, That's why they did. That's their identity, you I mean, 387 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 3: they want to be great there and they're not, or 388 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 3: they weren't. Twenty the Arizona Cardinals, that's an interesting one 389 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 3: because a year ago they'd be last. Back to your 390 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 3: gaining conversation, they inherited nothing on the D line. Yeah, 391 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: now they got like ten of them, from Kalayis Campbell 392 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 3: to first round picks. I mean, Walter Nolan grab sweat 393 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 3: off the Eagles. I think I'd be higher on them 394 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 3: if you look at depth. They're loaded all. 395 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 2: Of a sudden, nineteen is the Chargers. 396 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: I think I'd be lower on them. Yeah, Max's still 397 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 3: really good, but he's old. The rest of the group's 398 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 3: fine and they got more out of them than that. 399 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 3: But like Puna, Ford is good for them last year 400 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 3: and he moved on. Yeah, that unnoticeably lower. 401 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: Eighteen the Chicago Bears. 402 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of an overrated group too. 403 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 3: They've spent some money there, but I would have attacked 404 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 3: that d line more with all the money they had, 405 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 3: and I might have drafted. 406 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: Some older dudes up there. Yeah, you're trying on Grady 407 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 2: Jared the Yeah, you know, be Grady Jared again, and 408 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: I don't know that he can. 409 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 3: No, that one doesn't excite me. Dexter Gervin excites me. 410 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 3: I think Sweat's a good player, but they're not rare. 411 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. 412 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 3: Seventeen the Colts, Okay, I think a lot too will 413 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 3: be better in his second year. They've invested a lot. 414 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 3: Buckner is a really good player. I still would take 415 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 3: a couple ones. 416 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 2: Over the movie. Stewards solid. 417 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a good player too. 418 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: Sixteen they spend a lot of money on this offseason Minnesota. 419 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 3: That still seems high. They bought two older guys, Alan 420 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: and Hargrave. I know Van Ginkel had a good year, 421 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 3: but I don't consider him like a top edge player. 422 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: No mi Ani stretch like I'm taking Arizona over those guys. 423 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 2: Fifteen the Chiefs. 424 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 3: That's fair. I mean they got an elite player, a 425 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 3: lot of role players. I mean they went the big 426 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 3: beat your face, two hundred and seventy pound car loftis 427 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: ends they don't really want the two hundred and forty 428 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 3: edge bender guy. Yeah, yeah, but one more pass rusher 429 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: would be nice. 430 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: Fourteen the Titans. 431 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 3: I was wondering when the Titans are gonna pop up, 432 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 3: what's their logic behind having them so higher than Simmons. 433 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 2: Well, you got Jeffrey Simmons, dev Andre Sweat. 434 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Sweat played really well as a rookie. I should 435 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 3: have thought of that raft off my head. Yeah, their 436 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 3: edge guys aren't dynamic though. 437 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 2: No, but they got two good they got. 438 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 3: They're hard to move in the middle, that's sure. 439 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: Thirteen the Patriots. 440 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 3: Might be a little rich, but they've added to it. 441 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 3: I assume bar More is in the mix. Yeah. I 442 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 3: always felt bad for him with the blood clot situation, 443 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 3: but he was turning into a star. Okay, you put 444 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 3: him next to Williams. That should be a really formidable group. 445 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 2: Twelve Dallas. 446 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 3: They need Mazie Smith to be a lot better. That 447 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: defense is like all former first round picks that were 448 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 3: bus Yeah, but Parsons is obviously a big dog there. 449 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 3: But they don't have Lawrence anymore. 450 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, they like to collect the former first round. 451 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 3: They really did, and this year they went out of 452 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 3: their way to do it. 453 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 2: Eleven Miami. 454 00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 3: Their edge guys are pretty good, Chop Chubb, Phillips, else 455 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 3: is never on the field. Though. The middle was weak, 456 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 3: but you throw Kennis Grant in the mix, it's the 457 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 3: back seven, it's terrible. 458 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: Ten Baltimore. 459 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 3: They don't really have weaknesses. I don't see a lot 460 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 3: of studs. Matta Bouquet didn't take a step forward. He 461 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 3: was a really good player. Jones is a nice space eating, 462 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: power nose tackle type. And then they always have a 463 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 3: van Ney, always have somebody like him. Yeah, always getting better, 464 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: but not at a rapid rate. 465 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 2: Then Noise thirty four. 466 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 3: They always have that veteran tough guy, you know. 467 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 2: Nine the Rams they're. 468 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 3: The best one yet, in my opinion, you added Punifford, 469 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 3: you have all the young guys. I think Turners are 470 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 3: a really good player. I think Versus a really good player. 471 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 3: Fisk is a pain in the butt. Yeah, it's a 472 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: good gawd. Eight the Broncos. Yeah, depth isn't wonderful. Zach 473 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 3: Allen and Benito are a lot better than people might know. 474 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 3: There's no von Miller there. That's like going to the 475 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. But there they get a lot. 476 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: Out of that. And John Frankly Myers is solid. 477 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 3: It's real solid. Yeah, and led league in sacks last 478 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: year too. 479 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 2: I would have them ahead of this next group. Seven 480 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 2: is Cleveland. 481 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. I can't put a ton of faith in Graham yet. 482 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: No. 483 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 3: Garrett carries a monster amount of weight, of course, but 484 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 3: are they really any different than like Dallas. No, you 485 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 3: know this as a superstar and then questions you. 486 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 2: Knows it all at different from the n even the Niners. 487 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, but like Bosa and early picks, right, you know. 488 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 3: Six is Detroit, healthy, hut and really helps. But I'd 489 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 3: like to see a compliment to him. 490 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 2: McNeil is good. 491 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah Williams out of Ohio state. They got 492 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 3: a lot of beef in the middle right now. Yeah, 493 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 3: so I'm fine with that. 494 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 2: Five is Buffalo. 495 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 3: Hmmm. They drafted three of them because they obviously felt 496 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 3: it was a weakness. I like Rousseau, Aton all Over 497 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 3: is a certain type of player. But because of the 498 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 3: depth now they'll rotate them in. They're gonna go eight deep, 499 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 3: which I'm sure they're factoring in here. There's no studs. 500 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 3: The SOO is their best guy for sure. 501 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: Four is the Texans. 502 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, that edge pairing is maybe the best in the league. 503 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 3: Hunter and Anderson, the interior guys are harder to play against, 504 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 3: and you think it's a good group. 505 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 2: Three is the Giants. 506 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 3: I might even have them higher. 507 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 2: Higher than three two spots. 508 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 3: I know two, I know who it would be my one. 509 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 3: I might have them ahead of the number who I 510 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 3: would have put it too. I think Lawrence is the 511 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 3: best defensive tackle in the league, and now they got 512 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 3: three scary ed rushers. 513 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: Two is Philadelphia. 514 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 3: I think I'd have the Giants ahead of them. M 515 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 3: Eagles have more. Eagles just to have more, they just 516 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 3: but they lost two or three. Carterner could be the 517 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: defensive player of the year. I think Jordan Davis a 518 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 3: little overrated. The Red guys are good, but not special 519 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 3: to me. Yeah, I think, I mean, obviously they know 520 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 3: who's number one. I mean we're listening to Steelers Radio 521 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 3: and they haven't been mentioned. I think they're a distant first. Yeah. 522 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: Number one are the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, TJ. Watt and 523 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 2: Cam Hayward are still elite. Yeah, Alice Heismith isn't far off, no, right, 524 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 2: I mean I mentioned the Texans might be the best 525 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 2: edge rushers in the league. I think it's between them 526 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh. I mean pairing, and that doesn't even account 527 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 2: for her big right, who's the best third edge rusher 528 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: in the league by far? And a first round pick 529 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 2: in a first round pick. 530 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 3: And ben and they added depth, Like, I don't think 531 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 3: they're weighing a whole lot on who's your eighth best 532 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 3: D lineman? But their eighth best D lineman's better than 533 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 3: it was last year. Yeah, it will be, you know, 534 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 3: the Logan Lee's and those type of dudes and the 535 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 3: guys they've signed. I think it's clearly number one. It's deep, 536 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 3: it's strong, Yeah, star power, experienced, youth and what more 537 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 3: do you want? 538 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 2: Again, these aren't our rankings, no, right, right, These are 539 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: the rankings of pro football folks. 540 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to fight about who's better 541 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 3: Wat Garrett Parsons, whatever, Okay, if you're gonna fight about 542 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 3: who's better Lawrence Hayward, Chris Jones. Okay, but you're comparing 543 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 3: those guys to the best players at their position, right, 544 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 3: and then the next group is really good, yeah, you 545 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 3: know on the Steelers, right, Yeah, and that's not even 546 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 3: know what Harmon brings. 547 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, the next group of guys would start on a 548 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 2: lot of those teams that are twenty and lower. 549 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Herbie's a starter for twenty teams. Yeah, and 550 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 3: that's not even mentioned what Sawyer would give you as 551 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 3: a rookie, right and black and yeah, they drafted three 552 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 3: of these dudes this year. 553 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: Two. 554 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,479 Speaker 3: It's gonna be good. 555 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, sure, But that was Pro Football focuses rankings 556 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 2: of the top defensive fronts in the NFL heading into 557 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five season, Steelers coming in at number one. 558 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 2: We're going to get to another break.

I'm Dale Lolli. He is the 567 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and Matt. The Houston Texans announced their twenty 568 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 2: twenty five training camp schedule. They're going to spend time 569 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: at the Greenbrier in West Virginia this year, and by 570 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 2: my count, that will mean the Saints have been there. 571 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: The Browns practice down there. I can't think that there's 572 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 2: another team that did or not. 573 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 3: I wonder, I bet there is. 574 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 2: I want to say maybe Jacksonville at one point rings 575 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 2: about Greenbrier. 576 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 3: Have you ever been there? Yeah? I have not. I've 577 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 3: heard a lot about it. I should go. What would 578 00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 3: be so attractive to go there as a team. 579 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 2: Getting away to the middle of nowhere and having no distractions? 580 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 3: Okay, it's also like beautiful and high end and risk 581 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 3: and yeah yeah, yeah, so you're much more of a 582 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,239 Speaker 3: history political person than I am. That was also like 583 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: a presidential retreat or a bunker or something, right. 584 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, the government built basically a fallout shelter there, okay, 585 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 2: for the government, for for the president, members and everything. 586 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 3: If during like a nuclear scape there's a nuclear war, Okay. 587 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna ship everybody. I guess it was probably 588 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: ten or twelve years ago wordlyked out that that was 589 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 2: the case. I don't know if that was, you know, 590 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 2: still the plan. Yeah, but they have since then opened 591 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: that up. 592 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 3: That was my next question. You can go tour the 593 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 3: like you think the Texans tore that, you know, like 594 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 3: I would, Yeah, and why wouldn't you? Right, all right? 595 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 3: I would think the team goes through it learns a 596 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 3: little bit of American history. This is you know, that 597 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 3: makes sense and it's beautiful and they probably the government 598 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: probably picked it because it is a middle of nowhere. Yeah, 599 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 3: I mean nobody knows their type of thing. Yeah, get 600 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 3: the most important people hidden and safe. Okay. I assume 601 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 3: there's decent football fields. Yeah, okay, I mean like there 602 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 3: aren't it nemicole and like I keep thinking of. 603 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: It as like a resort set up to do these things. 604 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 3: Okay. 605 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 2: It just makes me wonder in this age of teams 606 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 2: staying on at their own facilities because they build these 607 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: palacial right right, right right, This is this is what 608 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: you want to do when I go to a college 609 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 2: campus somewhere, do the whole Steelers? 610 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 3: Do the Steelers move? Maybe it will come full circle 611 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 3: where man, everyone's going home at night sleeping in their 612 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 3: own beds. We feel like we're a disadvantage. So this 613 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 3: year we'll do a Green Briar trip. Okay, right, well, 614 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 3: why don't we just make it a Saint Vincent trip, 615 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 3: you know, and just move in and which is happening 616 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 3: less and less, but maybe people will realize we're losing 617 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 3: out on this. Yeah. 618 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: Now, it is costly for teams to go away to camp. 619 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 3: Especially for I mean these teams. They're not driving to 620 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 3: La Trobe right either. But I mean not that it's 621 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 3: cheap for the Steelers. They're gonna move a weight room 622 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 3: and they got to do a lot of there's a 623 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 3: lot of more that goes into it. 624 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 2: They pay, They pay Saint Vincent a handsome sum of money, 625 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 2: right right right too camp. 626 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 3: I mean even you and I have a dorm room 627 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 3: and I mean like things got this money and there's 628 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 3: food and all that stuff. But that can't be the 629 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 3: same as Houston going to Greenbrier No for a week. 630 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 3: Or's going to be way more expensive because I assume 631 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 3: they still work out and have a training staff and 632 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 3: all those things. So they will go douring camp. Yeah, okay, 633 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 3: like just for three days, five days whatever. 634 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 2: They do they go to take a look here exactly. 635 00:33:54,920 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 2: I mean that's there, but go from West Virginia to Minie. 636 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 2: So the reports, Ah, they're only going to be their 637 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 2: August fourth through the. 638 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 3: Seventh, okay, but they're gonna fly everybody there. 639 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,720 Speaker 2: So why not do your entire camp? 640 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know if you want to have 641 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 3: it all with Greenbrier, but why not do your whole 642 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,240 Speaker 3: camp away? 643 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 2: All right? 644 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 3: Especially with these teams now, there's more and more joint practices. 645 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 3: It seems like there's a lot more travel in training 646 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 3: camp now than ever anyway, Yeah, you know, and why 647 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 3: not just make it one big deal. I don't know. 648 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 3: I wonder if teams are all reconsidering that. 649 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 2: I mean I get it, you know, if you're the 650 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 2: owner and you've written a bunch of big checks to 651 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 2: build this palatial yeah. 652 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 3: We're not going anywhere. 653 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 2: Yeah right, you got everything we need right here. 654 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. 655 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 2: But even at that, you're still putting guys up at 656 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 2: hotels and stuff. 657 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I mean you don't have I mean, still 658 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 3: have a huge roster that if the feed and howls 659 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff, and all that equipment 660 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff too. And even from 661 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 3: the coaching scouting perspective, the players leave when their last 662 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 3: meeting is over, right, Coaches stay as long as they 663 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 3: want more or less. I mean, like it's up to 664 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 3: you when you finally walk out of the building. But 665 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 3: if you're on campus, you're bumping into your buddy, you 666 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 3: know what I mean. 667 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 2: Steelers love and Mike tom loves about Saint Vincent College. 668 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 2: Once practice is over, Yeah, you're on leisure time, but 669 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 2: you're not going anywhere.
