1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: At least.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: Gold r Steelers Nation Radio.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 3: And we are back. I am Dale Lolli and he

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 3: is the Matt Williamson and it is now time for

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 3: the Fantasy Football Focus, And as we always do here

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 3: on Thursdays, we'll take a quick run through the injury reports,

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: see who's practicing who is not. Today. Zan Gonzalez with

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 3: the Commanders, he actually did practice today. He's dealing with

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: a foot injury, so he'll be good to go against

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 3: the Eagles. I don't know if you want to start

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 3: him this week against the Eagles, though, even though Washington

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: does kick a lot of field goals. Luke McCaffrey also

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 3: with the Commanders his shoulder. He was limited again Thursday.

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 3: Zach Ertz with a concussion upgraded to limited on Thursday.

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: That is good news for him. You need to get

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: that limited practice in so they can see how well

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: you handle any kind of physical exertion before you get

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: cleared from the concussion, so he may be good to

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: go this week. The Carolina Panthers added Jalen Cocher with

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 3: a quad injury. To their injury report, he was limited

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: on Thursday. That's significant because he's been a major part

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 3: of the passing game. They're also missing Xavier Laget as well,

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: so maybe it's time to fire up Adam Thelen again.

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: He seems like the only guy down there that can

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: now stay healthy because David Moore has a concussion. He

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: was a limited participant on Thursday, so at least he's

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: trending in the right direction. But yeah, Adam Theln might

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: be a guy you want to toss into the line

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: up there, or if you're looking for a DFS, a

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: cheap DFS. Start Tommy DeVito with the Giants. The Giants

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: had a massive, massive injury report today. He's got a concussion.

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: He was limited Thursday. They've already said Drew Locke is

35
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: gonna start one. Del Robinson with a shoulder, was a

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: full participant today. Drew Phillips, who's their talented young slot cornerback, well,

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: he was limited today, as was Tyrone and Tracy with

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: the ankle. We'll see where that goes to Tracy and

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: if he's out then Devin Singletary could be the main

40
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: ball carrier for the Giants for whatever that means they

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: did it upgrade Drew Locke. He was limited yesterday. He

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: has a heel and elbow issues, but he will be

43
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: the starter on Sunday for the Giants against the Atlanta Falcons.

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: Deontay Banks, one of their well starting cornerbacks, also limited.

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: Malik Neighbors practiced practiced in full on Thursday, so that's

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: good news for him. He's dealing with some knee and

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: foot issues. He wants to set the rookie receiving record.

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: That's basically all they're playing for at this point. I

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 3: think he needs like eighteen catches over the final three games,

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 3: so expect them to pepper him with targets to try

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 3: to salvage that, because that's what losers do. You try

52
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: to go set records instead of actually winning games. And

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: that's what the New York teams are kind of stuck

54
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: with at this point, just trying to go out there

55
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: and do something, do those kind of things. Michael Pittman

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: with the Colts with that back issue, was back today.

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: He logged a full practice so he can go ahead

58
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: and well he's not been great with Anthony Richardson, but

59
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: that's better than well. Alec Pierce is dealing with a concussion,

60
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: so that doesn't sound good for him. So Pittman might

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: be very usable if Pierce is out, we'll see about that.

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 3: Matt Gay with a neck, he was a non participant

63
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: on Thursday. That's significant. He's their feel, he's their placekicker,

64
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: and you don't typically have another one of those hanging around,

65
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: so they may have to do something to to go

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: have a placekicker available for them on Sunday. As I mentioned,

67
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: Alec Pierce remained a sideline Thursday with that concussion, so

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: that doesn't sound good for him. Tony Pollard officially did

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: not practice again on Thursday. He's dealing with an ankle issue.

70
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: You know, we'll see how that goes, but certainly if

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: he doesn't play, that is significant. And ty J Spears

72
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: gets a big bump if that happens against the Colts

73
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: defense is not great against the run. And if Spears

74
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: is also catching passes Mason Rudolph, we'll throw them the ball.

75
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: So that's interesting there. Nick Folk missed practiced today. Yet

76
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: another kicker who is dealing with an injury. That's an

77
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: abdomen issue issue, So make sure you check your kicker

78
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: situation going this week. Joe Mixon going into that game

79
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: against the Houston Texans. He is off the injury report

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: for Week six team with that ankle injury, so he'll

81
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: be uh, he'll be an RB one territory as he's

82
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: been all season long, although he has a score a

83
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 3: touchdown in three weeks. So it will be tough running

84
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: against the Kansas City Chiefs.

85
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: Oh, no question. I mean that's a that's still a

86
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: really good defense. I'm not sure exactly what we were

87
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: talking about the moment, sorry.

88
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon. Yeah, and the Chiefs their.

89
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Run game is really bad though. Yeah, I mean that's

90
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: something I hope that for their sake, they really tried

91
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: to address it the at the bye week. It's been

92
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot better when he's in there, and it's a

93
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: lot of volume and but their blocking is bad. The

94
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: running game at top to fit, top to bottom for

95
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: the whole seasons been really bad.

96
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 3: But he's still been able to put numbers. Yeah, you know,

97
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: how about this news. Chrys Olav has had his practice

98
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: window open today.

99
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: I picked him up in our league when I was

100
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: in the parking lot.

101
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: He's been cleared. He's not going to play this week. No,

102
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: I don't can play at all. I doubt if he

103
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: plays next week. Maybe they try to, you know, get

104
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: him a might be the last week of the season,

105
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: who knows.

106
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if Calrr comes back at any point

107
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: this season. Like, I think there's still a chance for that.

108
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: They're going to run Spencer Rattler out there this week.

109
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: This awful. Yeah, I'm not sure what their intentions are. Like,

110
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure the head coach is doing everything possible to

111
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, put in his effort for the job. And

112
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: they did change things around with the change. But Kamara

113
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: a car a lave. You shut him all.

114
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: Down or they are shutting Kamara down.

115
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: For the whole season. Yeah, that's a done deal. Yeah,

116
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: which it should. But Kendray Miller could still be okay there,

117
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah not this week.

118
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: I just don't know that i'd rush a Love back

119
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: at all.

120
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: I was shocked that they even announced it.

121
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he really really wants to play one more game

122
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 3: this year, just to show that he's back.

123
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: In our league. I only picked him up because my

124
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: last roster spot was basically useless at the time. Yeah,

125
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: like I had the rookie running back from the Dolphins, right, Yeah,

126
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: he was a third string guy. I'm like, I'm don

127
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: want to cut him anyways, I'll pick him up.

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: I did the same thing with Hollywood Brown a couple

129
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, just like, Okay, maybe he makes it back,

130
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 3: who knows when, but I.

131
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: Might cut him in an hour. Yeah, yeah, right. So

132
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: he's a really good player and certainly noteworthy, But I'm

133
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: not optimistic about anything with that organization, let alone their

134
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: offense in quarterback situation, like why would you bring car back?

135
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean, and Kamara makes all the sense in the world.

136
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 3: Not too Gino Smith said he expects to play in

137
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: week sixteen. I think that's massive, just because they couldn't operate.

138
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: They couldn't operate.

139
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he might be my last choice of quarterbacks

140
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: how I mean, operating behind that offensive line. Yeah, you know,

141
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 1: like he can do good things in the fantasy world.

142
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: He could get the ball to Smith and Jigba and

143
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: Metcalf and all those type of dudes. But not they said,

144
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: they kill an operator, not when he's under siege, not

145
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: when he's because he holds the ball forever. I mean,

146
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: and he's a shorter guy again, Yeah, he hasn't learned

147
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: how to ball in Hard's way too. Hasn't learned how

148
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: to find the windows and that kind of stuff. Yeah.

149
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes you realize a player's value George Pickens,

150
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: you know when they're not there. Ye, and Gino is

151
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: a great example of that of he's able to able

152
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: to keep that ship at least on the tracks that

153
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: train on the tracks despite the problems with the line where.

154
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: How can't mentioned that Mahome was removed from the injury

155
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: report for week sixteen. DJ Humphries ruled out for week sixteen,

156
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: So I would guess they bump their offensive line around again,

157
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: moved Thooni out to uh.

158
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine. I guess I think that's the best approach.

159
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: There's no good approach. No, I think that's their their thoughts.

160
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: Is the best approach?

161
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we'll see. I don't know about that one.

162
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: Roshawn Johnson with the concussion practiced in full on Thursday.

163
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: Their running back situation is a little messy right now.

164
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: And mm hmm they could use him.

165
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a stabilizing force. Even like going back to Texas,

166
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: everybody loved them. He played special teams. He had no

167
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: problem being behind Bijon like real team guy. High character

168
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: picks up the blitz, you know, like does all the

169
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: little things the coaches love. Barring injury. He's gonna last

170
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: in the league a long time. He's never gonna be

171
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: a featured type of player, but he'll be a favorite

172
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: in chicag or whatever coaching staffs he's with for the

173
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: next you know, eight years or whatever. Swift is okay,

174
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: but he's volatile, you know, and their blocking is not

175
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: great either.

176
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: Jyalen Waddle not seeing it practice on Thursday. I mean

177
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 3: he was ruled out pretty quick in that game, dealing

178
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: with the knee issue.

179
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, got a zero right off the bat, you know,

180
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: Like anyway I started him in one league. I mean,

181
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Washington might be the guy and we're digging really deep,

182
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: but Malik Washington is the one that they really like.

183
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean he might be the two

184
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: like for DFS reasons said is he's still up in

185
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: the air too, still up in the air.

186
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was not practicing today, so they I I

187
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: just don't know about that team.

188
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they're soft, oh, I very much believe that.

189
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: But they can be very fantasy friendly. They can be

190
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, early in the city or even that stretch

191
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: when Tua came back and it looks like they're hitting

192
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: the wall now they're but they played Hue last week. Yeah,

193
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: Houston put him in a blender. I mean like that

194
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: that That Texans defense is really good. Yeah, I think

195
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: it's definitely the top five unit. But they really neutralized

196
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, especially once Wada went out. And yeah, I

197
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: love a Chan but he can't be that kind of

198
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: workhorse player either.

199
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: I mean he's just on an every down guy.

200
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: How do you go into season saying that's my goal

201
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: line back. I mean, that's the last thing he should

202
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: be doing.

203
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: With a bad offensive line, right over and over again.

204
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: If you're the Eagles and you have one hundred and

205
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: eighty pound running back and you know or you know

206
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: you're running you know the Lions offensive line out there?

207
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: You know there, Oh they'll do it with Gibbs. Yeah right,

208
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: right right.

209
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: But I mean, this isn't this isn't that.

210
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: No, it's not that at all. And I thought Tua

211
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: played really well coming back from injury. He's not the problem.

212
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: It's just they need to re examine. I got a

213
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: running joke on one of my podcasts about them. It's

214
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: like too many ferraris not a thumb trucks. You know,

215
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean I need a guard. I need a guy

216
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: that can move people. Give me Mike Alstock, you know that,

217
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: throw him in the mix.

218
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: You know, let's look at putting together a DFS lineup

219
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: for tonight with the captain's chair. So in the captain's

220
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: chair you got bow Nicks at fifteen thousand, Justin Herbert

221
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: is fourteen to seven, Cortland Sutton fourteen to four, Lad

222
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: mconkie fourteen to one.

223
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: No worries about mcconkeye, right, No.

224
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: Quentin Johnston is twelve six, Javonte Williams is eleven to four,

225
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: Gus Edwards ten to five, Kamani Via Dallas ten two. Jeez,

226
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 3: kind of the starter, Josh Palmer's nine to six. And

227
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: you're looking at all the backup quarterbacks. Arodric estimate is

228
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: eighty four Dicker the kickers eighty one hundred.

229
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: I think I went both defenses in the lineup.

230
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: By the way, will Wats's seventy eight hundred Chargers defense

231
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: is seventy five hundred to Broncos defense is seventy two hundred.

232
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: Marvin Mims sixty six hundred, Stone Smart sixty three hundred,

233
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Veley six thousand.

234
00:11:59,160 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: He's not terrible.

235
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: No, no, then you're getting into some little Georgians.

236
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: Don't know. Who do you want to spend big money?

237
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: Who do you want? Who do you want? The cat?

238
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: You put one of the quarterback. The quarterbacks aren't overly

239
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 3: expensive to put in the captains. I mean, looking at it,

240
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: got so many injuries, I want to look at it. Whatever.

241
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 3: So there's nobody in the game valued at more than

242
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars. And that's nick surprise me. I was

243
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: kind of in towards Sutton in the captain's chair. Sutton

244
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 3: or McConkie.

245
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the two I like too.

246
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: McConkie's a little bit cheaper, and he'll like to work

247
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: out of the slot.

248
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: Oh he's really good.

249
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So that gives us some flexibility there.

250
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 3: Uh so bo Nix's ten thousand, justin Herbert's ninety eight hundred,

251
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: Sutton is ninety six hundred. I think you have to

252
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: have Sutton in the lineup.

253
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: I agree, okay, And you gotta spend money somewhere in

254
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: this group. I mean, let's put a couple of guys

255
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: we like, we're gonna need somebody cheap. There's not many guys.

256
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: I'm like gonna stand on the table.

257
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: For Josh Palmer sixty four hundred. I'm gonna go to

258
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: the cheap cheap eyes here. Smart estimate is say fifty

259
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 3: six hundred. I guess he's the true handcuff. Now the

260
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: backup he's going to mighty play. The defenses are both

261
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: like really appealing. The Broncos defense is forty eight hundred,

262
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: the Chargers defense is five thousand.

263
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: I think I would get him both in, but I

264
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: just don't know where you spend up.

265
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: Then if you get all these cheap guys, well, that

266
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: allows us send to spend. We got two spots left,

267
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: eighty two fifty to spend on that.

268
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Do you want to get a quarterback involved?

269
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: Do you want to get bo Nicks ten grand?

270
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: Do we want him over Herbert? I think so he'll

271
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: run the running, Yeah, Herbert's and it's not going to run.

272
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna run much. Yeah.

273
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: So that then leads us sixty five hundred, which would

274
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 3: get us Josh Palmer. Uh, that would get us Dicker

275
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: the kicker Will Lutz.

276
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: I was leaning towards kickers and defense.

277
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 3: Stone smart Vley. We'd have a bunch of money left.

278
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: Over, though, if we do that on all those dudes,

279
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: you man, Yeah, they're all the only one that if

280
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: we if we butt just like I had a Palmer

281
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: on the list.

282
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: Uh Vadal at sixty eight hundred, Gus Edwards at seven thousand, yuck. Yeah,

283
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: Javonte Williams at seventy six.

284
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: I don't trust him at all. We don't need any

285
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: of those guys. It's a brutal game, but it's kind

286
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: of fun to still build the puzzle.

287
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: What's Josh Palmer done the last ye as Johnson two

288
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: catches for ten yards last game, nine for seventy eight

289
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: against Kansas City, one for eleven, eight for thirty eight,

290
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: four for twenty three. It's not been great, hmm. I

291
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: mean Vdal had three carries for nine yards and three

292
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: catches for thirteen yards the last time out. It's not

293
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: like he's the starter.

294
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: Starter, no, I know, nor has he done anything?

295
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we could pay up and put trying.

296
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: To think down the line cheap.

297
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: We could pay up and put put bo Nicks in

298
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 3: the captain's chair.

299
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: I spend our money somewhere. I guess that makes more sense.

300
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: Let's see, because he's gonna score points. I'm sure he will.

301
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: But I don't love. I mean, there's there's no good

302
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: options for this game. But I don't love putting a

303
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: ton of stock in bow nixt to save our soul.

304
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: But it's the best option.

305
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: It's the best option. Then you put McConkie in at

306
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: least a sixty two hundred, So then we can't get

307
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: Then we lose out on Palmer.

308
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but a lot those guys similar to him aren't

309
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: much different. Now do we get a kicker? Then we

310
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: have all kinds of money left over? Yeah? I thought

311
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: we were, So what if we.

312
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: Have So if we had, if we had Dicker, we'd

313
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: have eight hundred dollars left over.

314
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: Okay, where can we move? Where can we finagle some

315
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: stuff around? I mean it sounds like we're gonna eat

316
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: money now. Both defenses are cheap, cheap, cheap. We have

317
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: them both in, We have them both. What if he

318
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: pulled the Broncos out?

319
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: What if I like the Broncos defense better.

320
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: Though I meant the chargers.

321
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: I did chargers. Yeah, so if you pull if you

322
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: pull the Chargers, that leaves us eleven to two. Now

323
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: you can get Herbert, You can get Quentin Johnson, you

324
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: get Javonte Williams, Gus Edwards, Comani Vidal, Josh Palmer.

325
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean that sounds better to me. I mean, I

326
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: don't love Herbert to go crazy tonight, but you're starting quarterback,

327
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: then who do you put in? What would we have left?

328
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: We have eleven to two to fill two spots, so.

329
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: It'd have to be like Herbert and someone super cheap.

330
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: Or Quentin Johnston is somebody super cheap? Something along those.

331
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: About like Vley and someone kind of expensive.

332
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: What has Veley done? Bley's four thousand? He had one target,

333
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: no cat, which his last game he had four for

334
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: sixty one catch for sixteen yards, six for eighty, four

335
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: for sixty six, four for thirty nine.

336
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: What about estimate that's the true too?

337
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 3: Five carries for thirteen yards, one catch for five yards

338
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 3: last time out.

339
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: Over the last played some of that game over the last.

340
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 3: Two point eight FN two point eight, one point two,

341
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 3: one point five, five point five to five point three.

342
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: That's his point totals.

343
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: Can we get Herbert the Chargers the Chargers defense over

344
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: the last one point four points nineteen points, no points,

345
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: three points.

346
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hasn't been great. I mean Denver's is much better.

347
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: Stone Smart at least is coming off a game he had.

348
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 3: He had three catches for fifty four yards and five

349
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: catches for fifty in his last two games.

350
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: I had no qualms with that.

351
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 3: That would then leave us seven thousand. That would get

352
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 3: us Gus Edwards. That would spend all of our money.

353
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 3: Has Edward's done anything lately? Their running game's been so bad.

354
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 3: He doesn't catch anything seven point one, four point three,

355
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: nine point six, two point three. He needs to fall

356
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: into the end zone to.

357
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: Be I would rather have Herbert than both those guys combined.

358
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Herbert, and I don't know that's an actor.

359
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: So let's do this. Then, let's let's bump stone Smart out.

360
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 3: If we go Herbert, Now we have one four left

361
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 3: that would get us Hassan Haskins.

362
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: I think he's their goal mile. He was their goal

363
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: on back when Gus was out.

364
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's is.

365
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: He might not even be active zero zero.

366
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 3: Minus one point three point one minus one.

367
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: He fumbled.

368
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: I'd rather like little Jordan Humphrey.

369
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: Is there a blocking tight end that might catch a touchdown?

370
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: Little Jordan Humphrey and Week eleven against Atlanta had fifteen

371
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 3: point two points. He must have got a touchdown. Yes,

372
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: he had four for fifty two in a touchdown, And

373
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 3: next week he had two catches for four yards and

374
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 3: he's got one target in the last two weeks.

375
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: Yuck. Oh, this is a tough building. It's a tough one.

376
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, there's no, there's not many options. Leviscus Chnault.

377
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if he even plays.

378
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: He had minus one to two weeks ago. Yeah, that's

379
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 3: what you don't want to put somebody in there's going

380
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 3: to give you a zero.

381
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: What if we had both defenses, both kickers, We're gonna

382
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: have a bunch of money left over if we have

383
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: all that. Well, I'd rather have both quarterbacks than one

384
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: of these guys. He's gonna take a zero. Lucas Krawl.

385
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 1: How about Lucas Krawl. He had two catches for eight

386
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: yards the last game time out. All right, so the

387
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: last two games, Lucas Crawl has three catches for twenty

388
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: four yards.

389
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: Good, two catches for eight yards.

390
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: Because he plays, I mean, he'll be on the field.

391
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: At least, you're not going to maybe take a zero there.

392
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: They might catch a two yard touchdown, probably not, probably not,

393
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: of course, that gets you down both quarterbacks, like crawl

394
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: gets us two points, we win, right, I mean, like, yeah,

395
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: that's what I means a win. That's for what you're

396
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: paying for him. Right.

397
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 3: So you got bow Knicks in the captain's chair, Courtland Sutton,

398
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, the Broncos defense, Lad McConkie, and Lucas Crawl.

399
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean we're playing with one guy short, but

400
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: we got all the good dudes, like could mean crawls not.

401
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 3: And if Krawl does anything, it's gravy. Yeah, yeah, all right,

402
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 3: it's two passes. It's locked in. All right, there we go. Okay,

403
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 3: sounds like a winner. I could see Sutton and mconkee

404
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: having good games. I mean, you got both quarterbacks, you

405
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 3: should be okay. So yeah, that's our fantasy lineup again,

406
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: bow Knicks and the captain's chair, Broncos defense, Justin Herbert,

407
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 3: Lucas Krawl, Lab mconkie, and Courtland Sutton.

408
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: Good enough.

409
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, all you gotta do is finish again fifty to fifty.

410
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: For the top half. So none easy game to do it.

411
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 3: No, No, as easy as some of the more recent ones.

412
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: But that's what makes these ones interesting.

413
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's quite the puzzle to build.

414
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyways, let's get to a break. He is the

415

Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, we will still have our show or record early.

431
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: So if there's any like late news, our apologies. But

432
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: that's all right. But we gotta have we got to call.

433
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: We got to we have to have the show for

434
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: y'all to listen to. We record on Christmas Eve, right, absolutely,

435
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: why wouldn't we you know, of course, big game the

436
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: next day.

437
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: You know, we'll do it the you know, all those days.

438
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 3: But anyways, so Bill Barmwell has put together a list

439
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 3: here on ESPN ranking the worst mistakes for all thirty

440
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 3: two teams since twenty twenty.

441
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, I didn't realize it was that recent.

442
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: I saw the headline and actually scroll down to the

443
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: Steelers super quick and went, oh, yeah, that's probably a

444
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: good pick.

445
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 3: He's ranked them in order, kind of mag biggest mistakes. Yeah,

446
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 3: and you didn't have to scroll very far to get

447
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 3: to the Steelers one, because their mistake wasn't as bad

448
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 3: as some of the other teams.

449
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I think it puts in perspective problem. I'm

450
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: excited to go through these because I'm sure I knew

451
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: where the Steelers were. And I have to admit, most

452
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: teams over the course of what four to five years,

453
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: have made bigger, big mistakes, big mistakes. It's not uncommon.

454
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: So at thirty two of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, their

455
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: biggest mistake was signing Russell Gage to a three year,

456
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: thirty million dollar contract in twenty twenty two.

457
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: Like that's terrible, but so what you just move on? Yeah,

458
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: you're right, no big deal.

459
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 3: Green Bay's biggest mistake in twenty twenty two using first

460
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 3: round picks on kway Walker and Devonte Wyatt.

461
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure that story is written, you know,

462
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: like they haven't been great.

463
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 3: Why it's been really bad?

464
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: They both have been bad. Yeah, I mean again, if

465
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: that's your worst mistake still, I mean, imagine what you

466
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: could have done a two first round pick?

467
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, did two first round picks?

468
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they weren't even and they weren't super early,

469
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: but they weren't thirty two.

470
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: At thirty Are the Steelers using a first round pick

471
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: on Kenny Pickett in twenty twenty two? And I can't

472
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: even kill I know people, hindsight is twenty twenty Yeah, yeah,

473
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 3: you got used the twentieth pick in the draft to

474
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: maybe get a franchise, not the second pick, right exactly,

475
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: Not a top five pick, not a top ten pick,

476
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: the twentieth pick on a quarterback when your quarterback had retired.

477
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: Yep. And I remember, of course, we did so much

478
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: draft coverage that year, and I remember being when the

479
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: Steelers were on the clock. Who my number one guy

480
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: was still on the board was Dax Hill. But they've

481
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: been a lot better treat with Dax Hill. Yeah.

482
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 3: No, it might have just been a bad draft. I mean,

483
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 3: the first three guys on here. Well, I mean, look

484
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: at the last guy, the last team using first round

485
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: picks on Kaway Walker and Devonte Wyatt in twenty twenty two.

486
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: Maybe the twenty twenty two draft wasn't very good overall.

487
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: It was a terrible quarterback. Yes, I mean the Ritters

488
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: are on new teams.

489
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: Those guys are both considered first round pick though, and

490
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 3: they haven't worked out yet, right right.

491
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I mean that should be the bottom of

492
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: the list. And again it wasn't a hard thing to

493
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: move on from.

494
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: And the book to me on pick it still isn't

495
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 3: written yet.

496
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 1: No, I still think he has a chance to be

497
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: a contributor.

498
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: Of the guys in that quarterback class, not including Brock Purdy.

499
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: And I still have questions about Brock Perdy, but he's

500
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: certainly been the most effective one.

501
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, in terms of noise of philosophs and

502
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: late career Geno Smith resurgence or not potentially, but I

503
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: thought he did some good things here too, you know,

504
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: at twenty nine.

505
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: See, this would rank much higher for me drafting Jeff

506
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: Akuda with a third overall pick by the Detroit line.

507
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 3: You miss on the top five twenty twenty Yeah, top,

508
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 3: that's almost unforgivable. You spent a third overall pick in

509
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 3: a draft on a guy that couldn't play.

510
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: Right, because that's different than LA. I don't know when

511
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: we get to the Jags, but maybe hypothetically the Jags

512
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: will be took Trevan Walker instead of Aiden Hutchinson. Yeah,

513
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: that's a mistake. But Taron Walker is a good store.

514
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: He's a good player.

515
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not a Kuda.

516
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: That's a third overall pick in the draft, right, right, right,

517
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: come on, you got to hit that.

518
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: They got to at least be a starter.

519
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills at twenty eight, signing von Miller to

520
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 3: a six year, one hundred and twenty million dollar contract

521
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. A lot of teams made mistakes

522
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two.

523
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, coming off COVID and yeah, things are a

524
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: little weird, but they're their logic. It hurt him and

525
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: it's still hurting them a little bit. Was we're von

526
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: Miller away from being the best team in the league. Yeah,

527
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, we can close teams out. Miller had just

528
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl with the Rams. From what I remember,

529
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: he wasn't he got injured since then, so it's it's explainable. Yeah.

530
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 3: Twenty seven, Washington drafting Emmanuel Forbes within sixteenth overall pick

531
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three.

532
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: They took him ahead of Christian Gonzalez from what I remember.

533
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a questionable when it happened. Mean, he's

534
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty pound cornerback.

535
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: And he's benched already. Yeah, that should be lower. So

536
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: on another team, is he already Yeah, they caught him. Yeah,

537
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: I think he's with the Rams now are one of

538
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: those teams. Yeah, and Christian Goanzalez is really really good,

539
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: and I kind of felt like anyone could see the

540
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: Gonzalez is better than Forbes. Yeah prospect, you know what

541
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean. Like on Steelers trad up for Roger Jones,

542
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: I thought it might be Forkingzales. Yeah, that should be

543
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: lower because I mean that's already got zero out of

544
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: a pick from a year ago. Yeah, I mean, that's

545
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: that's pretty bad.

546
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: At twenty six, the Philadelphia Eagles signing James Bradbury to

547
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 3: a three year, thirty eight million dollar contract in twenty

548
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: twenty three.

549
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: He was declining at that point, so there is, but

550
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: that's not that doesn't destroy organization by any means. You know,

551
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: you draft two corners the next year, and now you're

552
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: the best defensive league.

553
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: At twenty five, the Cowboys choosing Michael Gallup over Amari

554
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: Cooper in twenty twenty two.

555
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: What they're saying is they traded Cooper, Yeah, because they

556
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: were a young guy. Yeah, and now they've been looking

557
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: for number two ever since. Yeah, okay, but Cooper also

558
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: was money. I mean, you've got a draft pick in return.

559
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what exactly was, but they didn't get

560
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: jump change for him, and you got them off your books. Yeah,

561
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: that you used elsewhere.

562
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 3: That happens at twenty I think their biggest mistake was

563
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 3: continuing to think that Ezekie Ellie could play.

564
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have some extensions that aren't great of their own.

565
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 3: Twenty four is the Bengals signing Trey.

566
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: Wayne Smith too, who hasn't worked out at all. But

567
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: what was this one?

568
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 3: Signing Trey Waynes to a three year, forty two million

569
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 3: dollar deal in twenty twenty.

570
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: Signing corners isn't usually a good business, No, not the

571
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: long terms, the right right there. They're very volatile.

572
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 3: It's up and down, and you might get a good

573
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 3: year out of them.

574
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: The bad one three years, forty two million dollars. You

575
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: could certainly point to a lot of defense I could draft.

576
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 3: I could point to a Miles Murphy and signing Orlando

577
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 3: Brown to a big deal.

578
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: Too, deal too. I don't mind over spending to protective

579
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. But that's not a good deal.

580
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 3: We're allowing Dj Reeder to leave.

581
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: Right, spend money on him as opposed to Brown, and yeah,

582
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: draft someone or whatever. The Saints, well they make that

583
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: actually something they would have, they would have.

584
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 3: A bunch on here. But handing Cam Jordan a two year,

585
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: twenty seven point nine million dollar extension in twenty two

586
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: twenty three.

587
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's worse ones than that, to be honest

588
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: with you, in terms of money spent. Yeah, because the

589
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: thing about Jordan is he's kind of their Cam Hayward, right,

590
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, he's there, he's their Brandon Graham. You know,

591
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: like there's value, he's in charge of the locker room.

592
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: That stuff matters.

593
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 3: I mean I might look at that and say, I mean,

594
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 3: they've they've done some extended Kamara this year.

595
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and where are you going with that? They gave.

596
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill a bunch of money, like to be a

597
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: part time player. Be a part time player. Oh yeah,

598
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: more than ten million a year, Like.

599
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: They've made a lot. I mean, just kicking the can

600
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: down the road over and over and over is really

601
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: their mistake.

602
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if i'd consider this one the worst

603
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: one for this team either. Kansas City Chiefs biggest mistake

604
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: using a first round pick on Clyde Edwards a layer

605
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty. Well, first of all, it was a

606
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: thirty second pick really late.

607
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: To me.

608
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 3: The bigger mistake for them might be this year going

609
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 3: into the season with those two tackles or with those

610
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 3: multiple tackles. None of them can play, and they're paying

611
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: Juwan Taylor money.

612
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe his signing in general. You know, like he's

613
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: not the worst right tackle in the league, but he's expensive.

614
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: And he's getting paid like the best.

615
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: He's really Yeah, Now, they at least drafted Sue Amataia

616
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: to say, we know we got a problem at left tackle.

617
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: He's just not ready. Yeah, who knows he ever will be,

618
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: but he's not ready.

619
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. The next pick after Clyde Edwards Hilaire

620
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 3: was t Higgins.

621

Speaker 1: Andy Reid would always go out to practice every day.

623
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: Look at Clyde Edwards Hilaire and say, I wish you

625
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: if Jonathan I mean that was most people thought Jonathan

626
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: Taylor was the best back in that draft. We liked

627
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: Dobbins a lot, he got injured, but if it was

628
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the other backs weren't bad. That was a

629
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift draft. You know, you just wanted to say that.

630
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: And there one last time on more time. Yeah, and

631
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: then there was Acres was last. I mean even Swift

632
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: in that offense would be better. Yeah right, I mean

633
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: if it was any of those other ones except for

634
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: probably Acres, you wouldn't that wouldn't have made the list. Yeah.

635
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: Twenty one The New York Giants.

636
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: Oh, they got a lot. It has to be Brandon

637
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: or Jones extension.

638
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,000

641
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: had like twelve catches for I say, how many catches

642
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: in the Giants uniform did he have Yeah, wow, yeah,

643
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: not good. That's terrible. That's worse than extending Jones.

644
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: Number tending Barkley walk Yeah, number twenty. The Ravens signing

645
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,640

648
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: they thinking? Oh, that is a terrible contract in it

649
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: one hundred percent was people people.

650
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 3: I still get the question, should the Steeler sign Odell Beckham? No? No, no,

651
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: he might be the most overrated player of this generation.

652
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 3: The last six years are he had like two good

653
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: years with the Giants and everything else is he's been hurt.

654
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 3: I know, he made all the highlight he made the

655
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: one handed catch once in a game, and he do

656
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: but he goes through that warm up. He is an

657
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: average wide receiver and has been for the last decade.

658
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: It's been a long time. Yeah, he's been a lot

659
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: of teams. They probably gonna sign with somebody else at

660
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: some point. He's free agents. We speak, Yeah, I mean

661
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins cut him, cut him, cut him right right

662
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: number nineteen and didn't save a lot of cap space

663
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: by nod or anything like they know they just got

664
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: rid of him and we went to this guy out

00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:45,120

669
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: get another of here, Matt Ryan. That would be really bad.

670
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 3: That would be high up there too. Yeah, drafting Anthony

671
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: Richardson with that at.

672
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: Least that's incomplete. But those two quarterbacks couldn't do They

Speaker 3: missing at the quarterback.

677
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean the Rivers and Ryan thing. I mean, they

678
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: were great players at one point, but at that point

679
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: they were the worst quarterbacks in the league. I've been

680
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: like signing Ben after his elbow or Breeze at the

681
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,400

00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

779
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: Five the Carolina Panthers trading DJ more More and multiple

780
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 3: first round draft picks to the Bears. To move up

781
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 3: the draft Bryce Young number one overall.

782
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean, that's a low hanging fruit. And

783
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: you could even say instead of Stroud, but they might

784
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: have a quarterback out of it. They might.

785
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: They gave up a lot to get it. It's too

786
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: much a mediocre quarterback. Yeah, the middle of the road quarterback.

787
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 3: San Francisco forty nine ers at number four, trading three

788
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 3: first round draft picks to move up for Trey Lance

789
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one.

790
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: Catastrophic trade. Yeah, and they got away with it because

791
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: because they great players and they found Pery.

792
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: They found Party who you know, now you get to

793
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: decide whether they're going to pay party.

794
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: And but just hypothetical, say they still found hurt Party

795
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: and had three more first round pick right.

796
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 3: First round picks instead of Trey Lance, right, who hasn't

797
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 3: played yet, No, and he never will and never will.

798
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: No.

799
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: Number three the New York Jets trading for Aaron Rodgers

800
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three.

801
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: Horrible they've made. But they didn't give up all that much.

802
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 3: They've made bigger mistakes than that.

803
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

804
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't go fourteen years Yeah, out of the playoffs.

805
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: At least understood it.

806
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 3: At the time, I think what the the mistake was

807
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: then signing off then you don't bring Nathaniel Hackett, bring

808
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 3: in Randall Karloff.

809
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: And it's just come onm he can't give him the

810
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: keys of the car.

811
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 3: No, No, that's that. That was where the mistake was made.

812
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 3: The Denver Broncos are at number two trading for and

813
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 3: extending Russell Wilson in twenty twenty two, That to me

814
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 3: wasn't I think the two biggest mistakes are two of

815
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 3: the three biggest mistakes both involved Nathaniel Hackett. Yeah, Like

816
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 3: I understand hiring Nathaniel Hackett for the Broncos. Think he

817
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 3: wanted to get Aaron Rodgers. Hackett was kind of Urban Meyer. Yeah,

818
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 3: I mean in terms, I mean he got he to

819
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 3: make it. He made it like eight games into the season.

820
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: Early in his ten year, Yeah, earlier when I can remember. Now,

821
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: they gave up a lot for Wilson. Didn't get much

822
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: out of it, There's no question about that. But that

823
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: was an awful coaching.

824
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 3: Awful awful number one division only one up. Yeah, right,

825
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 3: the Highlanders of the worst moves, I think NFL time

826
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 3: right right. The Cleveland Browns trading for Deshaun Watson and

827
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 3: signing him to a five year, two hundred and thirty

828
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 3: million dollar contract that doesn't even include all the draft

829
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 3: picks they gave up, very very manch fully guaranteed contract

830
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 3: or the.

831
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: Off the field stuff. Yeah, that you knew you were inherited.

832
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 3: Next year will be the first year since they've made

833
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 3: that trade that they'll have a first round draft pick

834
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 3: m h of their.

835
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: Own, and they're probably gonna well, they don't have a

836
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: quarterback and they don't have a quarterbaback, right, Yeah, so

837
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: pretty terrible. There you go, Yeah, there you go.

838
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 3: Uh, steel That was fond memories on the Oh, some

839
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: big ones that we laughed at and chuckled at when they.

840
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a lot of them we didn't see coming either.

841
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean this is a fall little league obviously, but wow, Yeah,

842
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: there's some mistakes on there.

843
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 3: That was Bill Barnwall's biggest mistakes of the decade by

844
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: NFL teams. We're gonna get to a break. He is

845
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 3: Matt Williamson. I am Dale, Lolly. You're listening to the

846
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: drive here on the Steelers Audio Network. We'll be back

847
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 3: to finish up the show right after this.

848
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: At least He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

849
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

850
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 2: Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

851
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: Welcome back. I am Dale Lolly, he is Matt Williams,

852
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 3: and this is the Drive on the Steelers Audio Network.

853
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 3: And we finally have the Raven's final injury report for

854
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 3: the week. And as we guessed, well, they list for

855
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 3: shot Bateman is questionable.

856
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: That sounds like a long shot to me. But he's

857
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: in a walking boot today. He's not playing on the

858
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: injured yesterday. Right, Yeah, Okay, that sounds like a real

859
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: long shot.

860
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 3: They list Agalar is questionable.

861
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Do they have a history of doing funny business with

862
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: injury reports or are they pretty on the up?

863
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 3: And I I don't, I don't recall, but this one

864
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 3: seems a little highly questionable. Agilar didn't practice all week

865
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 3: long with a concussion. Part of the concussion protocol for

866
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 3: the NFL is that you have to you have to

867
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 3: have some activity and see how you feel the next day.

868
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 3: They play in two days, They play in two days,

869
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 3: and he didn't do anything all week long. They listened

870
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: as questionable. He's not playing. There's like no chance. I

871
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 3: wonder if they're they're holding out. Hope they're because they

872
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 3: know Bateman's not They're hoping one of those two guys

873
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 3: can come through. They don't want to declare them out yet,

874
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: but I'm.

875
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: Not sure how Agalar even could.

876
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's my kind of my point.

877
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,959
Speaker 1: He's not I'm not going to have co active.

878
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 3: He's not going to get clear Saturday morning and playing

879
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 3: the game.

880
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're down two receivers.

881
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Deontay Johnson, of course, he's not part of the max,

882
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 3: not part of the team right now. They just told

883
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 3: him to stay away. So again, down three receivers. Uh,

884
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 3: Jalen Armore, Davis a cornerback. He didn't practice all week long.

885
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: He is out.

886
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 3: Daniel Falle, who is their starting right guard, questionable. He

887
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 3: was limited all week long with a knee issue.

888
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: You mentioned. He's like led the team in sounds.

889
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 3: He's the only only offensive player on the team that

890
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: has played one hundred percent of the offensive snaps this year.

891
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: Not particularly well.

892
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 3: But he's not good right right, But he's probably better.

893
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 3: He's better whoever's behind him.

894
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out what they how they

895
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: would do that. I should know this better, but Varhes

896
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: used to be the left guard.

897
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it would put voehe's or move McCarry

898
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 3: over to.

899
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: McCarry is there. He's their swing guy. But I don't

900
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: know that. I love putting Voar. He's in front of

901
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: camp Hayward. Well, that's what I'm saying, right, Like, that's

902
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: not ideal. I think McCarry's been playing over fore. He's

903
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: at left guard. Yes, and now I imagine you take

904
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: McCary employment right guard. That's a beauty having a guy

905
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: like that, right, everyone liked to have him. He's really

906
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: not good enough to be a starter anywhere. Yeah, he's

907
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: a six man eh or he's been problematic. That's an issue.

908
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: It is, that's an issue in this game. You probably

909
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: got worse at two spots.

910
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Justice Hill was finally back today. He didn't practice

911
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 3: on the Tuesday or Wednesday because of personal issue. He

912
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 3: was back today. Adisa Isaac one of their outside linebackers.

913
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 3: Full participants the last two days, so he's not on

914
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 3: the injury report. But o'dafe Owa has an ankle. He

915
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: was limited yesterday and today after practicing on Tuesday. He's

916
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 3: questionable for this game.

917
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 1: I like Van Noy a lot, but I think Oway

918
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: is probably their best pure pass rusher at this point.

919
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: He's not phenomenal, but one remembers him coming out of

920
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: Penn State. He was an amazing athlete. That zero sacks

921
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: is zero five year at Penn State and he's turned

922
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: into something. I mean, he's been worth the pick. You know,

923
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit of a slow time. Yeah,

924
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: been a little bit slow burned. I think I have

925
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: to double check, but I think his sacks of coming

926
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: bunches against bad teams. But you know that's what decent

927
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: players do.

928
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 3: You know, Darius Washington. They're starting stronger free safety however

929
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 3: you want to call him, because they rotate those guys

930
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 3: back and forth. He was limited on Tuesday and Wednesday

931
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 3: with an ankle. He was a full participant today and

932
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 3: it does not have an injury designation.

933
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, I don't think he changes a balance

934
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: of power at all. No, I don't think you're going

935
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: after him.

936
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 3: I think you go after him and if he's dealing

937
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: with an ankle.

938
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: Issue, a step slow to begin with whatever, So not

939
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: great for them.

940
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 3: No, there was someone out of there buy and then

941
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 3: a game where they beat up on the Giants last.

942
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: Week, right, and then you get a guy. It's hurting

943
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: practice two guys really because Owa got hurt on uh

944
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: oh that Wednesday as well. Oh wow, I mean you

945
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: lose Oway and Bateman not in a game. That's how

946
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: it's meaningful. It absolutely is. The receiver situation is tenuous.

947
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: You know, we've had that conversation. Both these teams are

948
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: pretty depleted there right now.

949
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely, so we'll see how that goes. But h Matt,
