1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: At least.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,800

Speaker 3: the drive for the Fantasy Football Focus and it being Wednesday,

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 3: will take a look around the league here, who's in,

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 3: who's out. Trey McBride, all right, there's nothing wrong with them.

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: Knee injury limited at practice on Wednesday.

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: M Okay, that's a big deal. Yeah, needs getting the

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: end zone. But I mean he is one of the

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: top guys. I did a Dynasty podcast today and we

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: were talking about Rock Bowers is considered easily the number

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: one Dynasty tight end. But yeah, became the conclusion McBride

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: to be our number two and he's got a bright future.

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Tyler Boyd with a foot non participant on Wednesday

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: for the Titans. Will levis officially a full participant on Wednesday.

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: He's dealing with a shoulder issue.

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: They want to play him as much as possible just

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: to evaluate him for of.

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: Course, Nick Folk, Tennessee's kicker, absent from practice on Wednesday,

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: with a groin injury, something injury.

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Good, good groin injury.

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: Also know Tony Pollard he's got an ankle.

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: I've been seeing all these waiver wire things. Pick up

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: Spears if you can, And I didn't realize there's something

28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: on with Pollard because I was just reading about it

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: before we hit record. Pollard has really been the early

30
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: down back. Spears has been getting all the routes. So

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: if you can marry the two into Spears, even for

32
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: one week, that could be massive.

33
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know Spears is quite the runner though

34
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: that Pollard.

35
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think he is. I don't think he is.

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: I just think his opportunity could really spike, you know,

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: on early downs.

38
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert not practicing on Wednesday, he's dealing with that.

39
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: It's it's a lot of stuff going. And he's also

40
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: has an ankle too. He came out of that game

41
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: with last week getting a little beat up, and.

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: He's getting a little beat up. Maybe him and Burrow

43
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: both of both taking a lot of hits.

44
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Josh downs with the shoulder injury officially limited on Wednesday.

45
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: I thought he'd be back after the bye, but maybe

46
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: he will be still.

47
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, Michael Pittman with that back issue, was a full

48
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: participant today. So good good, that's trending in the right direction,

49
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: but it's still.

50
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna linger all year.

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 3: New England released kJ Osborne earlier this week. He was

52
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: claimed by the Commanders.

53
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense. I mean they could use a third,

54
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: fourth type receiver. Yeah, I assume made his onet of

55
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: youth movement in New England. Polk and Baker and those guys.

56
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: They weren't using kJ No so zach Ertz with the

57
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: hamstring mispractice on Wednesday, they also listed as rest. Yes,

58
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: at his age, I wouldn't too much into that. They're

59
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: old hamstrings. Zing Gonzalez, listed with a foot injury, is

60
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: limited on Wednesday. For Washington. That's significant because Washington kicks.

61
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: A lot of right. They get into red zone a lot,

62
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: they move the football a lot. He's still learning as

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: a red zone passer. Doesn't really matter who their kicker is, but.

64
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: They've been Yeah, they get three or four or five

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: chances every game, and they're usually makeable field goals.

66
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah maybeah, maybe.

67
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 3: Not the long ones. Cybert for a long time this

68
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 3: season was the leading score. He was tied at one

69
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: point him and bow neck and neck. Yeah for field goals.

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 3: He didn't have the long ones a Boswell.

71
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: Now, but he was often and short yea, right.

72
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: So Zan Gonzalez is kind of a sneaky Yeah, if

73
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: you got to keep an eye on Drew Locke with

74
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: heel and elbow issues, those are not connected. Missed practice

75
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: on Wednesday for the New York Giants.

76
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, they came out that the veto is starting.

77
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so great.

78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: That doesn't help anybody, No, no, and they're playing the Ravens.

79
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: It certainly doesn't help you with neighbors.

80
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: No, not at all, or even Tracy or the only

81
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: guys that were at all relevant, Wandel Robinson's an afterthought

82
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: cutable at this point. Playing the Ravens and you're a

83
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half point dog.

84
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: I mean, Ravens might win that by thirty. I think

85
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: they're they are very good at running up the score

86
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: on bad team.

87
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: Coming off of bye. You know, get things right.

88
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: Oh look, Lamar's back. He's there again.

89
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: Henry as these eighty yard runs of shrugging people off.

90
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: I think that game goes that way. I mean someone

91
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: said that to you. The biggest spread or the second

92
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: biggest spread of the season.

93
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: It's the biggest number one.

94
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I know Jacks week was Detroit Detroit, Jacksonville or

95
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: something like that.

96
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: Detroit against Detroit played last week.

97
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: They played somebody good. They beat the Pack. No.

98
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: Oh, so I'm sorry. It is Philadelphia Carolina last week?

99
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: Oh really, okay. I think Jacksonville went Detroit. They went up.

100
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 3: They went off at like thirteen point okay.

101
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: And my thoughts on it were, I don't know how

102
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: many you'd have to give me to take.

103
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 3: The Giants more than fourteen fourteen and a half. Yeah,

104
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: I don't know how they score.

105
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be bad.

106
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: This is Giants with de Vito or one of the

107
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: teams that the Eagles held to like one hundred and

108
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: ten one hundred and nineteen total yards.

109
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right right, I mean, and the Ravens might two.

110
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Malik Neighbors with the hip issue also limited practice

111
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: on Wednesday, so they only may not even have him.

112
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: He was a game time last week and then they

113
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: said he was going to be limited participant in the

114
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: game and he ran like every route.

115
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs, with a concussion, a full participant in practice

116
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: on Wednesday.

117
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: That's good for him, but bad for the other dudes.

118
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: They also gets crowded.

119
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: Open the practice window for Luke Musgrave.

120
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: I heard that too, which like it's good for like

121
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs and all that, but it's bad for fantasy

122
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: Craft owners, just Watson owners.

123
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: And there's so many, so many miles like guessing which

124
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: week who's going to be what in that offense.

125
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it helps the Packers win playoff games,

126
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: but you know, which is their goal, of course, but

127
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: it is so crowded.

128
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: The Chiefs have designated Harrison Butker to return from my.

129
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: R Oh good.

130
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Matthew Wright was just named AFC Teams Player of

131
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: the Week and now Harrison Butker maybe back as quick

132
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 3: as quickly as this week.

133
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I would he knew he was going

134
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: to lose.

135
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: His job, but yeah, I would think if you're you know,

136
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 3: elevating this or designated him to return. He's a kicker.

137
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: It's not like it's to say, it's not like he's

138
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: he doesn't need a couple of weeks to ramp up.

139
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's fine and he's ready to roll. Yeah,

140
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: swinging like a few times in practice and pre game

141
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: and get out there.

142
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, butker now is the most accurate kicker of all time.

143
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: M your kick wealth of kicker knowledge, didn't.

144
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: I just looked these things up.

145
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: Matthew Wright. I bet ends up landing somewhere though, somewhere. Yeah. Good.

146
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: But he's already been on like team this year. He's

147
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: like everybody's designated picking that guy. Yeah, yeah, because he's

148
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: been fine.

149
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, no's he'll be in It. Wouldn't be shocked if

150
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: he's a starter next year.

151
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 2: Uh.

152
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: Looks like DJ Reader could practice on Thursday for the Lions,

153
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 3: So that's gonna some good news. That's good news for them. Absolutely,

154
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: they definitely need him on and uh Alee McNeil with

155
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: the concussion also expected to practice today.

156
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's one though of they're coming off a

157
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: long week, right, Yeah, so he has a little more

158
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: time than Joe average cushion one week.

159
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: So I would expect both those guys to potentially play.

160
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: That's a big game.

161
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: And that's a really good pair of defensive tackles too.

162
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're very good. Jalen Coker with a quad injury,

163
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: expected to practice on Wednesday for the Carolina Panthers.

164
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: I like him, I mean I don't know if I'm

165
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: running out picking him up right now, but I have

166
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: him in a bunch of dynasty leagues, and I think

167
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: they want to see what he can do. Him and

168
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Laguette and those guys. You know, obviously Thelands are number

169
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: one right now.

170
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 3: But Joe Burrow, dealing with a sore knee, still expected

171
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: to practice today.

172
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: He didn't look great when it happened. No, I mean,

173
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: but tough guy. That's he's had so many things. I

174
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: really wonder if he plays week A team.

175
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do too.

176
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the hands still bugs him and he's got

177
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 1: a locko. He's taking so many hits.

178
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: I just wonder, you know, if he has a chance

179
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: to lead the league in touchdown passes or something.

180
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 1: Maybe they maybe or he just wants to be the leader,

181
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: which I totally would understand. You know.

182
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: Uh, DJ humphreyes with a hamstring not practicing on Wednesday

183
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: for the Kansas City Chiefs.

184
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not saying he was like the answer, but

185
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: he's a He's had a decent career and you were

186
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: proven than what they're throwing out the exactly it's their

187
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: weakest position.

188
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, left tackle not a good spot for the You know,

189
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: I can't say it all. No, when their right tackle

190
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: is their better tackle and he's not good either, that's

191
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: not good. Marshaun Lattimore, right, finally practiced today for the

192
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: Washington Commanders.

193
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: They were right.

194
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they acquired him at the trade deadline a

195
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: month ago. He still hasn't.

196
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Played a snap for him, right, that's a nice addition

197
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: to get though. Yeah, you know for the stretch run.

198
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: I think they'll probably be in the playoffs.

199
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: Oh maybe this is why the Commanders went out and claimed.

200
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: We just the receiver. Yeah.

201
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: Osborne Osborne Noah Brown suffered serious internal injuries and could

202
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 3: miss the rest of twenty twenty four. Was originally thought

203
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: to be a rib injury, now seem to be more

204
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: serious and that he's been starting.

205
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: From them, he's kind of should be a three, but

206
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: he's a two for them. Yeah, you know with the

207
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: caff that makes sense in ad and Osbourne. So that's unfortunate.

208
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: He was a nice little pick up for the Commanders.

209
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so now maybe he can bump all their other

210
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: guys up a spot.

211
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's of the world. Yeah, I don't if he'll be

212
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: a two, but I don't know how they'll do that. Yeah,

213
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: maybe it's Jommy Brown.

214
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's definitely keep an eye on that this week

215
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: and see how that breaks down for them. David and

216
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: Joku has a hamstring not practicing today. Doesn't look good.

217
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: They're saying he may not play this week.

218
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: He's super important to those guys. I mean, he's an

219
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: inconsistent player, but he consistently gets a lot of targets.

220
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about Matt Prater before. Forty year

221
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: old Matt Prater. He's still hopeful to return this season

222
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: as their kicker.

223
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: So a good career.

224
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so keep an eye on that. Brice Hall with

225
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: that knee injury, still struggling a bit with that knee injury.

226
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: Keep an eye on that.

227
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: That was pretty much fifth fifty split undfortunately would be

228
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: I would think Allan, it's a good matchup. They got

229
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: the Jags this week and they favored, actually, well they're

230
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: always favored for whatever some reason. Fire up Allan, Yeah

231
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: you don't fire? Do you fire up the other? Dude?

232
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: Davis? I know it's fifty to fifty ish, but he

233
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: looked okay, But yeah, I don't know if that's the

234
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: way moving forward. Yeah, that would be like, I.

235
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: Don't think I'm running out to pick up pick Up Davis.

236
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 3: That would be more of a DFS start throw than anything.

237
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: And he scored a touchdown last week, which means he's

238
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: not scoring a touchdown two weeks.

239
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: Probably not right.

240
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: Ryan Kelly, it's gonna have his practice window open for

241
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: the Coults.

242
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: Okay, so one of the I won't say one of

243
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: the better centers, but solid veteran center. It goes along.

244
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, Coming off of buye mentioned yesterday, Kadarius Tony

245
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: waved by the Browns. Saw somebody in Jerry dule next week? Hey,

246
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: should the Steelers sun Kadarius Tony? Are you out of

247
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: your mind? Did you watch what he did Sunday? That's

248
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: what he's done in his entire career. That's why he's

249
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: been on three teams.

250
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: And he doesn't run routes. He just kind of runs

251
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: around out there.

252
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Browns did place Greg Newsom on IR for

253
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 3: the rest of the year.

254
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: Wow, it's a big deal and he's one of their

255
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: better players. They use a free agent after the year too, Yeah,

256
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: he might be. He's done, played his last game in Cleveland.

257
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: The Browns also signed place kicker Riley Patterson to their

258
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: practice squad kind of they have a kicker injury or no.

259
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: Dustin Hopkins has just been bad. They gave him money

260
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: and he's been bad.

261
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about a lot AFC North kicking is

262
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: really a problem right now.

263
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: Uh, Zamir White lands on injured reserve. Yeah, this season

264
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: is done. So again, you know, Cormick is sincere McCormick is.

265
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: I think he's closer to like an RB two now

266
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: than a dart throw type dude.

267
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just gonna see what he is. Run it

268
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: out there with him. Why not?

269
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he'd love not to have If you could

270
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: not have a running back need this offseason, that'd be great.

271
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: They have so many others. Yeah, I mean you can

272
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: find running gigs.

273
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, they don't have to waste a third

274
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: round pick on a running although this is a great

275
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: running back.

276
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: It's a really really good running back draft.

277
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Saint signed Ben Denucci to their So that

278
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: looks like.

279
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: Carr has two things. He's a concussion and he has.

280
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: He's not playing and they split practice time today. They're

281
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: not They're not going to make an announcement.

282
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: Until between Rattler and an neither one or great. No,

283
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean I think that hurts Camara, that hurts it

284
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: hurts everybody. I mean they're not gonna score many points. No,

285
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: they are definitely not.

286
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: Yeah. So that's where we're at with all the injuries

287
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: and stuff at this point. And again, this is this

288
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: is the time of year when you, even if you've

289
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: got to buy this week, pay attention to these injuries

290
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: and what's going on. Because if you can block somebody, yeah,

291
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: from making a movie trouble, Yeah, you just make the

292
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: block moves. It's not being a jerk, it's not being

293
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 3: you know, no.

294
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: That's just part of fantasy football.

295
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: It's all part of the strategy of this game.

296
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the bottom of your roster this time of year

297
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: is important, but it's fine if it's fluid too. Yeah,

298
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, just keep churning guys out and dart throws

299
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: and okay, I picked up Grendo and now he's out.

300
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: Move on, give me somebody else, you know me see

301
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, even if you're playing defense.

302
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, but let's get to a break, all right,

303
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: that's going to do it for the Fantasy football focus.

304
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: Matt and I will be back with more right after this.

305
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: At least.

306
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,079

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, and I thought we take you don't

314
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: have to be a pretty good rookie class. I mean

315
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are really good. The offensive side of the

316
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: ball is a really good rookie class. Yeah, really down

317
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: for defense.

318
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: A couple of guys who were on the guys who

319
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 3: just missed. There some guys who received top fifteen votes

320
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: from the panelist, Drake May, Braden Fisk, Dominic Pooney, Drew Phillips,

321
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: the cornerback.

322
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: From the Gas Giant, good player.

323
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: The guys who just missed were Bucky Irving.

324
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: He's had a really good year. It's a nice pick

325
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: up in the mid rounds.

326
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Caleb Williams and Lad Mconkie those are the just missed. Yeah.

327
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: I mean it kind of gives you an idea of

328
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: what the what this rookie class is right.

329
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: Right, like he like, you might want to put May

330
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: ahead of Williams, but Williams started every game. I mean

331
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: that's yeah, there's a lot to be said for that.

332
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: You know.

333
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: So they took their panelists and they came up.

334
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: With some Eagles and Steelers on here at least once year.

335
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh so there's a time for tenth place, and

336
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: it went to Cooper dejen.

337
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm not actually surprised he's on higher, but it's a

338
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: really good class. Yeah, he's a nickel back, but he

339
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: does a lot more than that.

340
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 3: This goes to our our point when we're talking about

341
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 3: getting the Eagles into a heavier package here, keep Cooper

342
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: Dejene off the field.

343
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a real playmaker. It's exactly what we thought

344
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: he was in the draft. Yeah, you and I can

345
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: considered him in the mid first round for the Steelers,

346
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, yeah, he can also play outside,

347
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: but he's best near the line of scrimmage.

348
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: It's a good player. Yeah, he is tied for tenth

349
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: with Brian Thomas Junior the Jaguars.

350
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Wow, this is.

351
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: Another guy we talked about. Yeah, possibly for the Steelers.

352
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if you wanted a size speed down the field.

353
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: Imagine him off as the pickens.

354
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: You know, right, imagine if you still if you had

355
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: him right now, and I still like.

356
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean if Photon is gonna be bad or anything. Yeah,

357
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean he would be a really good Steeler.

358
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Number nine Marvin Harrison Junior.

359
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's had a good years with

360
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: other dudes.

361
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if you just look at the numbers,

362
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: it really hasn't been overall.

363
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you'd have been a fifth round pick

364
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: named Williamson, he wouldn't be on this list. I mean,

365
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: not that he's been bad, but yeah, he has a

366
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: separator as explosive as like Maconkey.

367
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:12,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. At number eight, Joe Alt, Yeah.

368
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: He missed a little time, got hurt in the Steeler game,

369
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: but he's been really, really good and he's going to

370
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: be ten year, you know, pro Bowl type guy.

371
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: At number eight, I'm sorry, tied for six. There's a

372
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: tie for six, and that is Zach Frazier. Okay, he's

373
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: the highest ranked the lineman, highest ranked offensive lineman on

374
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: this list.

375
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't hold a couple you know weeks he

376
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: missed away from too hard on him either, like Latham

377
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been great, if Waga hasn't been great, Jets dudes

378
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: just starting to play more Steelers, dude good and you

379
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: know he is out, you know, so as good as

380
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: his tackle class looked, it might be hasn't lived up

381
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: to in year one.

382
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah at number X tire time for six, I should

383
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: say with Zach Frazer Malik Neighbors.

384
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: Wow. I mean he's had a phenomenal year and the

385
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: fact that he's cooled down isn't his fault at all.

386
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he would be my receiver if I

387
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: could repick this thing.

388
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: Number five, QUINNYA.

389
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: Mitchell. I don't think he'll win Defensive Rookie of the Year.

390
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's another name coming up, but I think

391
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: he's a clear number two.

392
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: The one thing that the.

393
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: He plays a lot of.

394
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: The one thing that the Egles cornerbacks don't do is

395
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: they haven't taken the ball away. No, they don't have

396
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 3: an interception by a cornerback this season.

397
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: No, you had some interesting there's a lot of interesting

398
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: stuff about their takeaway stuff too, Like I forget what

399
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: the stat you.

400
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: Mentioned, twenty two forced fumbles this year. They've only recovered seven.

401
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, terrible fumble luck. Yeah, but they don't hardly ever

402
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: turn the ball over either. You know, Hurts has not

403
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: thrown a lot of picks, but you're right, their secondary

404
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have many picks collecting.

405
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 3: He has ten. He has ten pass breakups and no

406
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: interception interceptions. He's taking the reservation. He's not keeping the reservation.

407
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: Maybe that's comes year two or whatever. You know.

408
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

409
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 3: Number four bo.

410
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Nicks sure had a really good year. Keeps getting better.

411
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: Number three Jared Verse, Yeah, I think he's gonna be

412
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: defensive Rookie of the Year.

413
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: Mitchell's good, but versus stats and impacts the game more.

414
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that he got He's that

415
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: much higher than Fisk has been pretty good.

416
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: You're all quality.

417
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 3: I get it really good.

418
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. I almost said that when you said he's a

419
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: just miss, Like, wow, he couldn't crack the top ten.

420
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: But top ten are really good. Yeah, top ten's really good.

421
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 3: Number two Jade and Daniels, Okay. Number one brock Bauers, Yeah,

422
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: I mean he probably for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

423
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: I don't think I'll win it. I mean it's gonna

424
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 3: be a quarterback probably, but he's been unbelievable. And Daniels,

425
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Daniels has twenty eight hundred passing yards, fifteen

426
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: touchdown passes, five hundred and ninety rushing yards, and six touchdowns.

427
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so I mean he's been you know, he's been great.

428
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're eight and five and you know all

429
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 3: that good stuff.

430
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: He's un loaded with guys around him.

431
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 3: Either Knicks has twenty eight hundred passing yards, seventeen touchdown passes,

432
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 3: three hundred and four yards rushing, four touchdowns.

433
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: He hasn't missed any time Daniels did. But Daniels was

434
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: way ahead of him two months in. Yeah, basically before

435
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: the Steeler gets.

436
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: Daniels is the way tougher guy to play against.

437
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean if we were repicking now,

438
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: Daniels might be the first pick of the draft. Yeah,

439
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: you know there's an argument for that. No, it's a

440
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: really good rookie class.

441
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I is Bowers. Bowers is good, Hen'll get me wrong.

442
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: But is he is he a generation old talent at

443
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: the position or is he just the only game in

444
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: town for the Raiders kind of like Neighbors. Neighbors is

445
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: the only game like he gets thirteen targets a game,

446
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: You're gonna catch a bunch of passes.

447
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: I think Neighbors is more generational than Bowers, just more gifted.

448
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: I know Bowers, and I mean that for a tight

449
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: end and for a receiver, not against each other. Of course,

450
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: the receiver is more explosive than the tight end. And

451
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: I get the Bowers love, and I think he's exceptional,

452
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: but I don't know that he's special. I mean, I

453
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: think he's really really good. He's super competitive, he's great

454
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: after the catch, even going back to Georgia. He gets

455
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: hand offs, you know, the weird stuff like that. But

456
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: like again, I mean just happened at this conversation this morning.

457
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: We were talking about dynasty tight end ranks, and he's

458
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 1: clearly the first one. I mean, it's not even close.

459
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: But I said, I trade him right now, like while

460
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: his stock's super high, because they're probably going to add

461
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback and a receiver and a new coach staff,

462
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: and like, is he going to keep growing in terms

463
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: of production? Where he's at now, there's almost nowhere to

464
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: go but down. Yeah, you know, I love them. I

465
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: mean I wish he was a Steeler. He's a really

466
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: good player, but I don't think he's the next Kelsey

467
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: or Kittle. Yeah, you know what I mean, good player,

468
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: great player. Yeah, so much is so much of great

469
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: production as a rookie though.

470
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: Everything on here, so much of it is about opportunity.

471
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely Again, like him and neighbors walk into a

472
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: situation where you're the only show in town. Yeah, and

473
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: Harrison hasn't been as impressive as them on tape, but

474
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: McBride deserves more targets than Harrison, right, you know, it's

475
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: where they're at right now in their career.

476
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like like.

477
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: Mconkey has a little of that, or he's starting to

478
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: and then he's kind of getting injured, you know.

479
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, where you know, some of the defensive players on

480
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 3: here are producing because they're they their teams need them

481
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 3: to produce. Or the offensive lineman, like if you're starting

482
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: is not like to your point, there's some offensive linemen

483
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: who are out there starting a rookies, but they're struggling.

484
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: They're struggling, right, and which isn't uncommon corners. I know

485
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: lineman his rookie struggle a lot. I think there was

486
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: some I did look at that article. There was some

487
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: stuff like most disappointing, and there was some other categories

488
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: at the bottom. Yeah, and I hadn't realized how much

489
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: the Bama vikings the end.

490
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: Dallas Herner is one saying yeah, and it came in

491
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: game one.

492
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So I didn't love him coming out. I

493
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: thought Will Anderson was a much better prospect. And I

494
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: don't think Anderson's special special, but they're getting nothing out

495
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: of that guy.

496
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's, you know, some of the stuff with

497
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 3: the Bama guys and some of these bigger.

498
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: Programs, Georgia has some of it.

499
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like you wonder if it's the player, is he

500
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: that good or is he good? Is he that good

501
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 3: because everybody around him is also good and therefore it

502
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 3: elevates his play because you can't just focus.

503
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: It's it's a different kind of evaw. I mean, the

504
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: fact that they can get on the field of those

505
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: programs speaks of all beat out the other d tackles.

506
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: But a lot of these Georgia guys. This isn't the

507
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: best week to talk about it because Jaalen Carter is

508
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: the exception, but these defensive players for Georgia haven't quite

509
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: lived up to the billing.

510
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: Jordan Davis is nothing.

511
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: He's not special, not specially. I kind of wonted the

512
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: Steelers had taken him. I'm glad he didn't.

513
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 3: You know that in that class the Kobe Dean struggled

514
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: his rookie he's been better, finally, he's been better this year,

515
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: but he's still his year three for him. Yeah, he's

516
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 3: still not un.

517
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: Walker with the Jags. And once again there's going to

518
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: be several Georgia defensive players drafted high in this upcoming draft.

519
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: They've been fine, but they haven't lived up the super

520
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: high draft status.

521
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: Like Dean would be a guy I would attack with

522
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: the Steelers tight ends. In this game, he's given up

523
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 3: thirty six catches on forty seven targets. He's undersized too,

524
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: for four hundred and sixty four yards. Wow, I didn't know,

525
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 3: so it's more than ten yards a catch. Yeah, yeah,

526
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 3: Like you can go after this guy a little bit.

527
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean, his his claim to fame as he was

528
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: like the leader of those Georgia teams. He's the green

529
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: docs guy. He gets them all lined up, he's the captain.

530
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 3: But has been the better player this far.

531
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Bon's been one of the best off

532
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: the ball linebackers in the entire league. Yeah, that's a

533
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: real fine.

534
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: So I think you can. I think you can kind

535
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 3: of target Dean and and you know, go after again.

536
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: We want to we want to go big and keep

537
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: you know, keep not Carter on the field, but Davis

538
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 3: on the field where these guys out.

539
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: He's not used to playing a bunch of snaps, No,

540
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: and his pads can get high. I mean, he's really

541
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: physically imposing, but he's a work in progress and he's

542
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: never played snaps going back to Georgia.

543
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the other the other defensive tackle for

544
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: the for the Eagles is Milton Williams. I like Milton

545
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 3: Williams as an athlete, great athlete, but he's undersized, so

546
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 3: he's a little smaller.

547
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: He's kind of the anti Davis. He's the energizer bunny.

548
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: But you can double them and move them. Carter's the

549
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: blend of all the above, the good stuff.

550
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 3: And if there's one area that you can, you can't.

551
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 3: The Eagles don't give up a lot. No, they've been

552
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 3: very good against the pass, but they do allow I

553
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 3: think it's four point three yards of carry against the

554
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 3: against the run that nobody sticks with it though, because

555
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: they're behind.

556
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of the problems, is the hope that

557
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: you can keep feeding your backs over and over in

558
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: this game. Another Georgia guy they have who I like,

559
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: Nolan Smith was a late first round pick two, but

560
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: he's light too. I mean, he was a great athlete

561
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: that you can run at. I mean if you get

562
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: Moore or Jones blocking him, or Washington his old teammate,

563
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: if Pickens would have played in this game, they've been

564
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: a lot of Georgia Georgia stuff when the Steelers had that.

565
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: As it is, there's gonna be a lot of Wisconsin.

566
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: I guess, so I didn't thought of that that, but

567
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: they're definitely is bond as a I'm sure he's buddies

568
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: with the Watson whatnot.

569
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I guess some of that going on both sides.

570
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: But let's get to a break. He is the Matt

571
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 3: Williamson I am Dale, Lolly. You're listening to the drive

572
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: here on the Steelers Audio network, And uh, Fraser isn't

573
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 3: the only Steelers rookie offensive lineman starting right now for

574
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 3: this team. There's a guy right next to him is also.

575
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: Should be too far off that rookie list either.

576
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 3: He should he should be he should be mentioned on

577
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: there because he's played really well. Yeah, and he's played

578
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 3: a lot and uh well, he corrected me on this

579
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 3: during the conversation we had earlier today. I thought it

580
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: was eight. I thought it was like nine starts, ten starts.

581
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: He said, it's been eleven.

582
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: Has it? Okay?

583
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 3: This one goes to eleven eleven? Huh So these uh,

584
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: these Steeler rookie offensive linemen are they should be well

585
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 3: adjusted to the NFL schedule right now.

586
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: So long season.

587
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: We'll hear from We'll hear from Mason McCormick when we

588
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 3: return right after this on the Drive.

589
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: At least he's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

590
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 2: Williamson on your twenty four to seven Home of the

591
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 2: Black and Gold in Steelers Nation Radio.

592
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 3: Welcome back. I am Dale Lolly. He is the Matt

593
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: Williamson and Matt kind of one of the We've talked

594
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 3: about it lot of this show, but the two rookie

595
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 3: offensive linemen starting for the Steelers. I think one of

596
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 3: the big reasons people ask about why, you know, why

597
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 3: the improvement from the first time around against the Browns

598
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 3: to the second time around, And I think part of

599
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 3: it was largely because you know, the Steelers lost the

600
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage in that game against Cleveland the first

601
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: time around. Yeah, in a big way, because you had

602
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: two rookie linemen who we're going through playing a game

603
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 3: on four days rest for the first time in their career.

604
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and didn't do it in high school, didn't

605
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: do college.

606
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: You just never do that, and so there was a

607
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: learning process there. They've now dealt with that once. And

608
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 3: I bring us up because they've got three games in

609
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 3: the next eleven days Sunday, But those guys have played,

610
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 3: you know, reasonably well. And one of those guys this

611
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: week might have the best. The biggest matchup in this game.

612
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: It's miss McCormick against Jalen Carter.

613
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: There's so many to look at, Lane Johnson again, TJ. Watt,

614
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: AJ Brown versus Porter, and there's there's a lot of

615
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: heavyweight matchups. And McCormick isn't in the same level as

616
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: those names I've mentioned, but he's having a heck of

617
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: a rookie year and I think he's a long term

618
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: fixture at the right guard spot for you. But the

619
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: guy he's gonna block off and is Jalen Carter, who

620
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: is a nightmare. I mean, he's really really coming into

621
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: his own. I thought he was the most talented player

622
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: in that draft. We know why he fell, and he's

623
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: becoming an elite defensive tackle. So he's gonna have a

624
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: difficult test.

625
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 3: And he rarely comes off the field, right, right, he's

626
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 3: playing more and more. Yeah, there are other guys are

627
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: all below fifty percent. He's out there eighty plus percent

628
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: in every game. So McCormick's gonna see him and see

629
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 3: him a lot.

630
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna see him a lot. I mean sometimes,

631
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean everyone moves defensive lineman around, but kind of

632
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: like the Steelers where Cam goes against the left guard

633
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: a lot, Carter goes against the right guard a very

634
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: high percentage of the time, usually to his outside shoulder,

635
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: so you know where he's at. But that doesn't mean stuff.

636
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, So I took a minute or two to

637
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: talk to u accormick about that today.

638
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: Buddy Roger Jones, who didn't think of this till now,

639
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: but they were teammates at Georgia, right, and so maybe

640
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: he has a little insight, then smiled a little there. Yeah,

641
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: double team too.

642
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: A little bit there. So, uh, as I said, I

643
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: talked to Mason about that matchup and a little bit

644
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 3: more this morning. So let's hear what McCormick had to say.

645
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 3: You got the h the five star matchup this week.

646
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: Mike started talking to you about that one.

647
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we we uh we obviously know Jalen

648
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 4: Carter and them. They have a really good defense line.

649
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 4: They're really really good across the board, and it's it's

650
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 4: an exciting challenge and we got a lot of work

651
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 4: to put in this week to prepare for.

652
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 3: Is just a one man job or just a multi

653
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: man job?

654
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: Stop the Jalen Carter, I don't know.

655
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 4: We kind of defends, you know, certain place it's called

656
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 4: for certain certain things, and so we'll see as the

657
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 4: game play develops how how.

658
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: We want to attack it.

659
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: He's the one guy at the censer front that played

660
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 3: high percentage.

661
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: I think he's at like eighty two percent. The other

662
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: guys are all under fifty.

663
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: So he's pretty much out there pretty consistently. Is that

664
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 3: because he is so disruptive or you just think he's.

665
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 4: That that kind of Yeah, I would say it's it's

666
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 4: a little both. I mean, he he plays super hard,

667
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 4: and plays extremely well, who makes a lot of plays.

668
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 4: He's a really really good player. So I mean, if

669
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: I was a defensive coach, I probably wouldn't want to

670
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 4: take him off field.

671
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 3: You like that, that kind of challenge of when you

672
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 3: have to when you're facing a guy again.

673
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's exciting. You know, you want to

674
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 4: put your talents on display, and to put go against

675
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 4: guy like that who's really really good, is exciting?

676
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: Is it?

677
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: Are you at the point of the season now where

678
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 3: you're kind of getting getting into the swing of this

679
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 3: pretty well? I mean, well, you got eight starts now

680
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: at some point at nine, ten ten. See, I'm even

681
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: less than that, so ten starts into this yet, I mean,

682
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 3: do you feel like, Okay, I got a pretty good

683
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: grasp on.

684
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: What got what I need to do every week?

685
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 4: Yeah? For sure, I've definitely got link to more of

686
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: a routine. It's it's been evolving week to week, you know,

687
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 4: just learning and picking up different things. But I'm definitely

688
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: getting more more and more comfortable with.

689
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 3: And with these i mean three games in eleven days.

690
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: It's something I'm sure you've never done before with most people.

691
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 3: Just having that kind of comfort level at least knowing

692
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 3: what you need to do personally on a personal level.

693
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: Does that help in that kind of situation?

694
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean I try not to look too

695
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 4: far forward with that stuff because you just never know

696
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 4: how a game is going to go. Some weeks you

697
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: might be super sore. The next week you might not

698
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 4: be sore at all, you know, and so it's just

699
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 4: kind of depends how the games go. Obviously we're gonna

700
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 4: look to take care of our bodies and you know,

701
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 4: just just keep growing as the season goes.

702
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 3: Is it cool kind of going through this with Zach

703
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: at the same time, you guys are both kind of

704
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: and save and really broader on the other side, has

705
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: just basically gotten just over seventeen starts in his career

706
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 3: as well.

707
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: He's kind of all new for all of you guys.

708
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 4: It's it's really cool, you know, playing with Zach and

709
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 4: Broad and both young guys like myself.

710
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: It's been really cool to grow and evolve in this

711
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 1: game together.

712
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 4: I think we can just just keep stacking, keep getting better.

713
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: Good things will happen.

714
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 3: Thanks an appreciate you, Thranks. That was Steelers guard Mason

715
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: McCormick with me earlier today talking about the matchup against

716
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: Jalen Carter and well, just where he's at in this

717
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 3: rookie season.

718
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as great as Carter is, McCormick's gonna have

719
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: to get used to these type of dudes.

720
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

721
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like the college he came from isn't the

722
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: SEC and this is the NFL. Now, there's a lot

723
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: of freaky defensive linemen in this league that he's gonna

724
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: have to deal with. And I like his chances. I mean,

725
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking big picture. I mean I think and I

726
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: love his playing him.

727
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure you're gonna double team. You're probably

728
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: gonna help out.

729
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: Him there as much as you possibly can.

730
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that'll be interesting for that matchup. We'll see

731
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 3: how that one goes. But Matt, that's going to do
