1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Please. He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: We are back. I am Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson.

4
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: This is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio. And uh, Matt, um,

5
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk a little bit about what's happening

6
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 1: here over the next well over the next few months. Here,

7
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna see the compensatory picks come come being ounce

8
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: sooner than later that that's we don't need the cap

9
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: number for that kind of stuff, right, We're going to

10
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: see the cap number said, We're going to have free

11
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: agency starting here and in a couple of weeks, franchise

12
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: tags you before that. And we're gonna have a schedule

13
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: announced at some point. And that schedule is going to

14
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: include seventeen games. That's going to happen, and much that

15
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: we've we talked about this and I think we touched

16
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: on this a couple of months ago, how that's gonna

17
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: break down. That seventeen game is, for example, the Steelers

18
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: having played against the NFC West in nineteen or two

19
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, two thousand nineteen. See, you'd then be two

20
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: years or moved from playing against the NFC West teams

21
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: going into that would be your crossover game. Oh, I

22
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: hadn't heard that against the team. I think we talked

23
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: about that. I don't think I thought we did. You

24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: would do it over every two years, because you play

25
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: you play every other you play conferences. Right now, are

26
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: the divisions in the NFC once every four every four

27
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: years constant rotation. So you move that two years out

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: then that way you're not playing a team back in

29
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: back to back years from the crossover. So you go

30
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: to you go to years back. So the Steelers then

31
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: one would play the Seattle Seahawks because they finished the

32
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: same spot. Right, that's that same deal. That's it's yeah,

33
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: so it's still three vary you know, three variable games. Yeah. Now,

34
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: the thing that that Peter King hadn't his column today,

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: which I wasn't aware of yet, was that the way

36
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: that they're going to do who's home and who's away

37
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: for those games is theyre going to do it by conference,

38
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: which makes a lot of sense. So in one the

39
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: a f C will host those games, in the NFC

40
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: will host those games, and that will go back and

41
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: forth ever year. That way, nobody gets an advantage. Well,

42
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 1: you had an extra home game, and we didn't this year,

43
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: but so did everyone in division and were fighting for

44
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: a playoff spot. Next year we only had eight, but

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: so with everyone that we're fighting from the division and

46
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: what that's smart. So that's a little more easy thing

47
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: we should have thought of a million years ago. Yeah,

48
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: I can't believe, but anything like sense. Right. But the

49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: other part of it, that was something that we've been

50
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: talking I talked about a couple of months ago. Uh,

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: that made the most sense. Um, and and so it

52
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: does work out and it's not you know again those

53
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: teams that then, So that means that the a f

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: C teams, since they'll host nine regular season games this

55
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: year getting year, they would then cut the preseason down,

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: which means the Steelers would have one home preseason game

57
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: and play two on the road. That gives the NFC

58
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: teams that extra home venue. That makes sense because everybody

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: wants you're selling beers and and all that stuff too.

60
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: So seventeen games, isn't that tough? That tough? That was

61
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: a pretty solution. Wow, that's that's good. I mean a

62
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: couple of little quick thoughts are now you're a first

63
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: place schedule verse or fourth place. Schedule means one game more,

64
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: but it's at home. You know, you'd much rather you know,

65
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Well, I mean, but if it's either

66
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: home or away. But it's a difference like this year, Okay,

67
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers gotta play the Seahawks. What's a big difference

68
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: playing the Seahawks in Pittsburgh as opposed as playing the

69
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Seahawks in Seattle? Oh, without question, without question. I mean

70
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: it's a big difference. You know if, for example, at

71
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: the same time, well, Cleveland hosts Arizona, but Pittsburgh has

72
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: to go to see how that's why they're you're you're

73
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: keeping everything, You're keeping everything and has to deal with

74
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: the home Yeah, that parts cool. Yes, it's not that

75
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: big a deal. It's one seventeenth that your schedule. Okay,

76
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: I got a little bit harder team, and that stuff

77
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: doesn't always hold up anyway, Like Elson gets traded, Yeah,

78
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: and think it's gonna happen. But yeah, like that that,

79
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're so happy you've got the

80
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: Niners when when that game is actually played, they may

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: be one of the best teams where they're the fourth

82
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: place team, the fourth place So the bank was gonna

83
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: play the Niners that didn't do them any good. Thanks, Yeah,

84
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: that's not that we just got him a down year.

85
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: The Browns gonna play the Cardinals. Oh well, hey, yeah,

86
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: but you're thinking three preseason three preseason games because only

87
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: one by though only one by Yeah, I kind of

88
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: wish there was two, but I understand it not happen anybody.

89
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: The other interesting thing that will come out here soon,

90
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: and usually we get this news around the Combine time,

91
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: are they're gonna be a the International Games this year? Now?

92
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell said at the Super Bowl that he would

93
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: like this. They're still planning on having games in London

94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: and Mexico City. Uh, whether that's yeah, whether they're whether

95
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: they're able to do that or not. Like I've been planning,

96
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,119
Speaker 1: I've been planning this for two years and I actually

97
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: we're supposed to go last year and COVID hit we're

98
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: planning it. I had I had everything reserved again for

99
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: this year in July and had to cancel it again

100
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure everything. Like they're talking about England London,

101
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: England being opened by the end of June fully open. Well,

102
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: my trip was scheduled in July and I'm like, yeah,

103
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about when there, and I'm like, I'm not

104
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: going to chance it that, you know, something happens here

105
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: and I lose my deposit and all that stuff. I'm

106
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: just gonna cancel it now and be done with it.

107
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Year from now. You're safe. So the question is, well,

108
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: the NFL scheduled those games not knowing now if they

109
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: if they announced the schedule, then you've got a pretty

110
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: good idea that everything's gonna be opened up, right. I

111
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: mean things are starting. I mean it's a small thing,

112
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: but like the next Penguin game has over two and

113
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: the state has announced that they'll have they'll have fans

114
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: of pirates and Penguins are gonna have fans of river Hounds,

115
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: all the you know Philadelphia teams. So we're we're heading

116
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: in the right direction this preseason. We'll have fans unless

117
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: something bad. The next question then for the Steelers, what

118
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: about training camp? Are they gonna be able to have

119
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: training camp at St. Vincent College? You would lean towards yes,

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: don't you think? I know? But when you know, when

121
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: we talked to Bob about that, Bob Labriola about two

122
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago, were three weeks ago, now that we had Bob,

123
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: he wasn't quite so optimistic about that. It's a different situation.

124
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: Optimistic guy too, But I'm just, you know, brimming with optimism.

125
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the Steelers would love to go back. There's

126
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: no there's no fans or butts about it. They're not

127
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: they you know, they didn't they they didn't like having

128
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: training camp at their facility. Last We're gonna be safer

129
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: there than here, you know, So you know, the only

130
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: question then becomes does it work for the college m

131
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, see my hunches, because that was NFL mandated. Right,

132
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: nobody's doing anything. I think the Steelers would have gone

133
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: last year if they they were gone. I mean they

134
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: tried to, didn't they, you know, protest that decision and say, hey,

135
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: we want to go and work, keep everybody in the dorms.

136
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: And so I bet this year the NFL says, you guys,

137
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: do what you want as opposed dude, nobody's allowed. Well,

138
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why the the NFL did that

139
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: last year was because they wanted to keep it again.

140
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: It was like when the different states were open, some

141
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: were some states were open to some weren't. So some

142
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: teams could have gone and had O T A S

143
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: and all that in mini camps and others could not have.

144
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: So the question then becomes does everybody is everybody opened

145
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: up by June or something? You know something is it?

146
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: What's the time frame? Pretty much level playing? Yeah, you weren't.

147
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: They want they want the off season playing field much

148
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: like this the schedule that we just talked about. Everything's

149
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: gotta be level and yeah, because you can't have you know, well,

150
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: the the the the the Oakland Raiders or the Las

151
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders can practice, but the you know, the Niners can't,

152
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: right or the corner and we saw, I mean California

153
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: shut things down to the point where we're you know,

154
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: San Francis had to go to Arizona to play their

155
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: games season on the road, right, And there's teams like

156
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Dallas that go to California. I think it is for camp,

157
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: but they go far. Um, I don't know, I mean,

158
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm totally I just wonder what the time frame is

159
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: like when do you have to know that? Because there's

160
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: they don't just show up and say, hey, here we are.

161
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot of planning that

162
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: goes into that we'll be there tomorrow, sat Vinny, be

163
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: get ready. You know you gotta start. You gotta start

164
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: planning all that stuff, and and and for I guess

165
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. I mean, when you've gone there for

166
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: so long. Okay, we know the time frame of when

167
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: we gotta start doing the operation. Everything's set up for

168
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, the dorms that were built there, eight wheel

169
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: are out with your weights and all that kind of stuff.

170
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: But but you do have to know ahead of time.

171
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: You can't just say, you know, two weeks you know, hey,

172
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: two weeks from now, you guys can go to camp.

173
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: Well no, right, right right, I don't know. Do you

174
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: think mini camp will be normal? That's you know, the

175
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: first step. It's impossible. Let's put this way. I'm I'm

176
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: I've been on the COVID. Pennsylvania is screwed up. They're

177
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: different than a lot of states. I signed up for

178
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine a month ago because I have diabetes,

179
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: so I can I can I'm eligible to to get

180
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: the to get the shots. I can't get anywhere. I

181
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: can't get an appointment like they're they're all these and

182
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: and they're talking about what we have all these shots.

183
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: We can't get them all out and you know, what

184
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: are you doing? I'm looking West Virginia is now wide

185
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: open because they've got because they're using their shots, because

186
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: they're using there, they're getting the shots distributed people. I'm

187
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: just amazed. But but so that's the I think that's

188
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: part of of the thing here is how many of

189
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: the players is. First of all, does the NFL mandate

190
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: that the players have to I was thinking that too

191
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: have to take the vaccination. I know everyone's supposed to

192
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: be equal, Like I don't have diabetes, right, I mean

193
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: like I'm just like anybody else. But does Ben deserve

194
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: a shot more than me? I think yes, So we

195
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: can all watch football and well some would say I

196
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: fits in his you know in one of the one

197
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: of the things is are you overweight? Yeah, well well

198
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Ben's yeah. Well maybe maybe is if you're if you're

199
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: using body mass index, yeah, so alignment and butt yeah.

200
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: But I mean would it be that hard could we

201
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: make or is that just too much? And I don't know,

202
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, some of them, not all these

203
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: guys live obviously a small percentage of them actually live

204
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: here year around. You know, are they getting vaccinated in

205
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: their in their home States because they're doing a better

206
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: job than Pennsylvania. Is well, I'm sure some of them

207
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: already have that, you know. And I'm sure they have

208
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: ins as well, you know. I mean, don't get me wrong,

209
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: but couldn't the Steelers vaccinate everyone on day one of

210
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: the minicamp? You know? Well, but again in that if

211
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: you do that and there's still a waiting list, you know,

212
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: if if we're sitting here in July and I still

213
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: haven't gotten my vaccination, what I was saying is like,

214
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: I know, we're all supposed to be created equal, but

215
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: for the greater good of give it all the Steelers

216
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: and Penguins first and then give it to us, Like

217
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: I know Mark Madden got his vaccination already, you know,

218
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: but you know, I mean, I know people would have.

219
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: My wife works in the medical field. She's gotten hurt,

220
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: but I haven't. I still haven't be known to get it.

221
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not obviously not alone in that. I mean,

222
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: there's the waiting list is long? Your hunch, do you think?

223
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I bet they have a mini camp, Yeah,

224
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: I think so. I don't know if we'll be there.

225
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: We might be we might be limited to the same

226
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: rules and restrictions that we had during a regular season

227
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: this year in which we could watch practice, but we

228
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: had to be in a designated area. Um, maybe we'll

229
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: have a radio boot set up at a corner somewhere

230
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, it was work. I mean, but

231
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: by the time camp rolls aren't, I would hope you

232
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: would hope that we're Yeah, I mean, if we're, if

233
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: we're now looking at at states reopening and at least

234
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: allowing fans and stadiums and getting and things of that nature,

235
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: I would think that, you know, masks aren't going away anytime,

236
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: so right, probably not. I mean, I'm sure we'll all

237
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: be massed up and whatever. But which is that's a different,

238
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: different conversation altogether. But No, there's a lot of big

239
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: stuff about to happen, and you didn't even touch on

240
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: ten quarterbacks might get traded and cut, and you know

241
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: the franchise tags are gonna be slapped on people. Yeah,

242
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean that period has been open now for six

243
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: days and nobody's franchised anybody, right, because again you don't

244
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: know what the cap is to that point, I'm looking

245
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: here at the NFL dot com Top one free why

246
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,360

248
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: list here room. I mean, I wouldn't get too attached

249
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: to any of these dealers. Uh. Deak Prescott number one,

250
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: he's kind of in that cousin situation with why would

251
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: he sign a long term deal? Just franchise me again

252
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: unless you're gonna start with that number. Yeah, he has

253
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: all the power. Yeah. Trent Williams number two, Wow, wow,

254
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: thirty three years old, he could get franchise. It'd be

255
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: a great franchise candidate Allen Robinson three year old receiver.

256
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams four, he's really been done well. May seven

257
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: numbs Surprised he's that old, is he? I mean he

258
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: came in, he came in the same years like Winstead

259
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: and those guys. Yeah, I guess I think he was

260
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: pretty young when he came in. Justin Simmons safety out

261
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: of Denver. Chris Godwin still just twenty four. Yeah, he

264
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: a row. Yeah, I mean it's not flukey, and he

265
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: was pretty productive with Denver, but he was just the

266
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: third guy. Yeah, he was at the number three. He

267
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: wonder if they wonder if they feel like, man, we

268
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: could have not used that draft pick and just camp No,

269
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Denver oh and just locked him up

270
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: and instead of taking Chub, took Quentin Nelson or something. Yeah,

271
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: right right, right back or whatever, if you know whatever

272
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: it will be. Uh. Aaron Jones number nine. He's not

273
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: coming to Pittsburgh, folks. We haven't talked about that because

274
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: there's no reason to know there really is. But here's

275
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: one that I'll bet a lot of people don't know.

276
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: But this guy's gonna get paid. Taylor Moten, Yeah he's not.

277
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: They say how old he is? Yeah, yeah, tackles are

278
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: going to be expensive. Brandon Shuff number eleven, he's only

279
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: coming a franchise tag high end guard. Yeah. Bud Dupre twelve,

280
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: he is not getting it. Not gonna happen here, folks.

281
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: I give NFL dot Com credit for respecting where Bud

282
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: really because if you look at Pro Football Focus, Oh

283
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: he's terrible. Yeah. Trey Hendrickson six year old. He won't

284
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: be back in New Orleans. Carl Lawson fourteen. I think

285
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: Lawson is a great player. Yeah. I loved him coming

286
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: out and he's yeah Kenny Golladay fifteen, Yeah, he's star.

287
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: He's a little old. Actually came out of your older

288
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: than usual. Uh, Jadeveon Clowney sixteen, So they're still binding

289
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: in on that. No, I'm sorry. I'll bet you I

290
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: can find in the next fifteen players. I'll bet you

291
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: all fifteen of them i'd rather have. He's disruptive. I

292
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: mean we give him a hard time. He's not productive,

293
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: he's not reliable. He can be disruptive, but when he

294
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: wants the way overrated and so many bad snaps, like

295
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how you invest in that guy. Uh,

296
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: seventeen Joe Thuney, Yeah right, he's also come off the

297
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: tag eighteen Matt Judeon. It's a little rich for me

298
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: on Judean, but okay, I mean we could have that

299
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: conversation about Clowney or jude On. I'd rather jude I'd

300
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: rather have jude On, but over both, as they would

301
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: h nineteen Corey Linsley. I would have him higher. But

302
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: he is thirty. I wonder if they franchise him, does

303
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: the tag still just offensive line? I think it interior.

304
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: I thought that's that's awful for centers. Yeah, twenty would whichever, Yeah,

305
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: it's bad for the team trying to keep a center

306
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: twenty Johnick and gok Way. I think he'll be the

307
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: one that comes back. I don't think. I don't think

308
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens can afford to sign either one of them.

309
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: Not if they want to go get a receiver, I

310
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I mean, if they you'll find

311
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: out a lot about Like if they spend big money

312
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: on a receiver, they can't afford them to do much

313
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: with the with the edge rushers. I was thinking about

314
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: their receivers, Like it's easy for us to say this,

315
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: they need to find a solid number one receiver, get

316
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: him his Hopkins or get him. You know, Alan got digs.

317
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: But what if Robinson, Godwin and all of day all

318
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: get franchised, you know, like then you're down to Juju

319
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: or Corey Davis. I mean, those guys help. There's a

320
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: lot better than what they got. I mean, I wonder

321
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: if Juju ends up there, I don't think so. I

322
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: think somebody else will offer him. He's physical block. I mean,

323
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: like Sammy Watkins doesn't do it for him, or you know,

324
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: Fuller isn't gonna, isn't what they need. Funny you mentioned

325
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: for Er, he's the next guy on the list. He

326
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of got him. That's that's what. Yeah, he's not

327
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: a he's not a good. Fuller's better. But the thing

328
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: about Fuller is he starts next year suspended. Still. I

329
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: think it's only two or three games one week one.

330
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying I'm just saying the guy could

331
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: never stay healthy, and then the year he does, he

332
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: gets busted for p DS. Those are just facts. I'm

333
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: just saying that, you know that that needs to be considered, right. Uh.

334
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: Twenty two Matt Milano, good player, I mean, yeah, right,

335
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: right right. Twenty three Jamis Winston, he's a quarterback. Yeah.

336
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: I still like Winston, Winston and Mariota. I'm not I'm

337
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: not buried yet. Twenty four is Curtis Samuel, Jack of

338
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: all trades. Keep hearing him in Washington with Rivera. It

339
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: would be, you know, a compliment to see him in

340
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: Miammy too, Like yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean he

341
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: fits that. He's in right era with jet motions and

342
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: you'll get two or three carries a game. Twenty five

343
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: is juju. I got rather Juju than Samuel, though it

344
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: depends on what you're trying to do. They're a little different.

345
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: Like I could see like the Steelers getting a Samuel

346
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: type guy this year to maybe in the draft to

347
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: play in the you know, you want to do a

348
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: lot of jet motion and stuff. Here's your guy candidate

349
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: would like? Yeah, twenty six Cam Newton. I don't know

350
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: where i'd even rank him. I don't know either, but

351
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that I want him. Would you rather

352
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: have just money aside, age aside? Week one? Would you

353
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: rather try to win a game with Cam or Jamis?

354
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. That's a really that's a really tough question.

355
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: What kind of team do I have? Right? A great

356
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: because you're better? Yeah? Right? Protect them? Yeah, I hear you. Yeah.

357
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: Twenty seven Johnny Smith. I bet he gets paid pretty well. Yeah,

358
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: I bet he get paid Hunter Henry Johnny Smith a

359
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: head up. Hunter. Smith's a more healthy guy though, like

360
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: he's he's been the more Yeah, he just hasn't stayed

361
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: healthy over the course of his career. You know how

362
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: many times we talked about, you know, age twenty seven

363
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: tight ends that's kind of Smith's about to hit that. Yeah,

364
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: they're both of them are both, Yeah, but Smith was

365
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: more of a developmental guy coming out twenty nine. Shaquille Griffin,

366
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: M that's pretty high for him the edge rushing the

367
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: corner from so I was thinking Shack Barrett. I'm sorry,

368
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: did we not talk about Shack? Ok? Yeah, he was

369
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: like the last I say, much higher. I got my

370
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: shacks mixed up. Yeah, Shack Griffin's Okay? Are thirty? Is

371
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick? And I'd rather win a game with Fitzpatrick? Yeah?

372
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: I think so. Here's the thing, though, give me thirty

373
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: eight years old. This is the thing when when people

374
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: talk about just because Steelers, the Steelers need to go

375
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: get Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's the same freaking ages bends teams

376
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: or something, right, I mean, he's still a quality player.

377
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: All right, here's a question. Do you think Fitzpatrick is

378
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: an opening day starter? Yeah? I could see like Chicago, Washington,

379
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah Bots, In fact, Washing, that would make a lot

380
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: of sense for Washington. You've got to you've gotta, you know,

381
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: draft a guy and have Ryan Fitzpatrick. You've got a

382
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: good defense. Maybe that makes you the best team in

383
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: that division, depending on what happens with Dallas or you

384
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: do something like this, like signed Fitzpatrick and Trabiski. Yeah,

385
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: I know if you can't draft one, if there do

386
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: you think they're all gonna be gone? Or try to

387
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: trade for Jordan's love, But bring in Fitzpatrick, you know,

388
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: like one of those type of moves. I think he'll

389
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: be an opening day starter. Yeah, that's Chicago Washington makes sense.

390
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: Thirty one Romeo Acara. He had a really good year.

391
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean edge guy twenty six years old.

392
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 1: He's a perfect example that here's a prediction free agency

393
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: open that guy will sign. Three hours after it opens.

394
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: You'll get a blurb and everyone be like, you signed

395
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: for so much money because he's a young edge rusher.

396
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: He's ascending, He's gonna make a lot of money. Uh.

397
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: Thirty two is Corey Davis. I like Corey Davis, but

398
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: if he's treated as a one, that's a little to

399
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: be on my fantasy. Yeah you know what I mean,

400
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: Like he's not gonna beat a lot of press band

401
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: coverage and coverages roll in his direction. Like he benefited

402
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: from being opposite Brown and having right and having a

403
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: great running back and back back. He was actually a

404
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: really good blocker to downfield for Henry. That's why I

405
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: keep thinking about him with the Ravens. You know, whoever,

406
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: that guy is gonna custom some money though he's Yeah,

407
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking fans might want him to be

408
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: the guy that the Ravens and you're talking fifteen million, like,

409
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. He gets away from Hayden consistently. Thirty

410
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: three is Marcus May Wow, I don't know if I

411
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: agree with that. He's he's an Okay, he's he's a

412
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: decent starting safety. But he's twenty eight and say, is

413
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: that old? This is his first contract? Yeah, I don't

414
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: know that I want to pay that guy to I

415
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: heard rumors are considering franchise in him. That would make

416
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: more sense for that. They got the cap space. He'll

417
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: be twenty nine, and you know that twenty nine next year,

418
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: you've getting everything you can get out of him. At

419
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: that point, I didn't know if he was a old

420
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: I was coming off his first deal. I expect to

421
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: be younger than that. Thirty four or his Davi Dalvin Tomlinson.

422
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: He's another good blogger. I mean, he's more than just

423
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: a plogger. Yeah, you get the Giants a hard time,

424
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: But Williams and Tomlinson and they got some beef in

425
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: the middle that can move. They got some they're hard

426
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: to play against up the middle. Uh. Thirty five John Johnson,

427
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna leave. They're not gonna's twenty five year old safety.

428
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: You haven't mentioned Marcus Williams. Yeah, but those are cap

429
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: strap strap teams. That's another one. People will be like, wow,

430
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: John Johnson and Marcus Williams signed for this. Yeah, they're

431
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna be well paid. Thirty six is Lavonte David. That's

432
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: a tough one because he's thirty one. Now, Like I

433
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: saw that something over the weekend. Browns will be very

434
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: interested in Lavonte David. First of all, you're gonna pay

435
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: him big money coming off a Super Bowl one, coming

436
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: off a Super Bowl, but he's thirty one. You're gonna

437
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: be paying for what he was, not what he's going

438
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, that might not be the smartest move.

439
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: You may get a really good year out of him

440
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: and then his cap casualty a year from now. He

441
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: said he's he's logged over nine thousand plus snaps in

442
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: his cre in his career. That's a lot. Yeah. The

443
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: box are interesting cause obviously there's Super Bowl champs and

444
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: I do think people will take less to play with them,

445
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: not last, but they'll take a little bit of a

446
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: deal and they have some cap space. But it sounds

447
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: like Gronk will come back on a friendly deal. I

448
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: bet a b does. Once all said and want, David

449
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: wants to get paid. David probably wants to get paid.

450
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: Godwin probably wants to get paid. Shack Barrow wants that's

451
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: the problem with winning. Okay, well, I've won my super

452
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: Bowl right now, I'm gonna I'm gonna go get paid

453
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: and be down for my life. And NOMA cong sus

454
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: up too. Who's a mercenary? Yeah, I mean he's been

455
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: paid everywhere he goes. It doesn't sound like much. But

456
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: they also for net I mean they're all starters, they're

457
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: all prominent places you'll be able to and you pick

458
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: thirty second, thirty seven is Darrell Williams, thirty eight Marcus Williams. Yeah,

459
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned it before. They can't say you'll make a

460
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: lot of money. Thirty nine Leonard Floyd. I would not

461
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: pay him either. I wouldn't, but somebody probably will. Yeah,

462
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: he's a perfect example. We've seen two years in a

463
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: row where the Rams go get a former first round pick.

464
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: That was a quote bust Fowler with Jacksonville Floyd with

465
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: the benefit from playing with Aaron Donald and then they

466
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: lighted up with their one year Aaron Donald leads the

467
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: league in double and triple teams. Okay, well that means

468
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 1: somebody else isn't getting blocked or they're getting blocked one

469
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: on one by a tight end. And their offense, their

470
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: defense coordinators are really smart. Dude who's now a head coach?

471
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: And Floyd Skinny, I mean, I don't think he's like

472
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden come into his own He's twenty nine,

473
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: uh forties. William Jackson, I would pay for him. That's

474
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting one for the for the Bengals,

475
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: they don't have very many good defensive players him and

476
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: Lawson can't let him walk. Would you would you franchise

477
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: Lawson or would your franchise Jackson Jackson? I think so

478
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: because corners are are a little harder to find, and

479
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: you know what he is. I mean, but if and

480
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: Loss has been a part time player for them, which

481
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: its crazy? Um, what was I gonna say with that? Like,

482
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: if if you're them though, I mean, if I'm lost

483
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: in I'm I'm not sure I wanted to go shape

484
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: with the Bengals. I don't want to go somewhere. I

485
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: would like to open market and see where I can play.

486
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna get he's gonna pay big money, right. Uh.

487
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: Forty one is Shelby Harris. He's a good football player

488
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: to disruptive in the middle. One uh forty two justin Houston.

489
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what he has less. I think he's

490
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a part time not get picked up as

491
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: quick as people think. He's not bad, but he's a

492
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: rotational Yeah, We've mentioned that with like J. J. Watt,

493
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: they're at that same age, you know. Forty three Hassan Reddick.

494
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what you pay him. That's a tough

495
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: one coming off a monster year. But he had like

496
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: five like a monster eight games is when it was.

497
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean I liked it. There was like he was

498
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: rumored a lot with the Steelers, which probably never was true.

499
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: He had that huge Senior Bowl super versatile, but some

500
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: of those versatile guys, Yeah, what's what's your what's your man?

501
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: What do you master? Yeah? What do you what are

502
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: you mastering in? And finally they just lined him up

503
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: and he rushed off the Edgy in a good year,

504
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: but four years to figure that out. Yeah, well might've

505
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: been there coaching problem. Forty four j On Aroun he's

506
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: a good player too. Yeah. Forty five Jason Varette. I

507
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: hadn't really problem was up and years could be in trouble. Yeah,

508
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: this could be a rough off season for Tennessee. Forty

509
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: five Jason Vty six, Ronald Darby seven, t Y Hilton,

510
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Will Dalton be an opening day starter? No,

511
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: I mun say No. Forty nine is David Andrews. Yeah,

512
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: to to Patriots offensive lineman on that. Keep an eye

513
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: on free agent centers. Yeah. Fifties Anthony Harris, Okay, another

514
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: good player, and I'll just roll through the rest of

515
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: this with just the Steeler guys. I don't have to

516
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: go far because Mike Hilton's fifty one. Nice. I'm glad

517
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: he's getting that kind of recognition. I mean, that's what

518
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: he's worth. Um looking here, let's see if we get

519
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: Big atl on there soon. I'm sure he's on here somewhere.

520
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Yeah, I think he has a lot laught.

521
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: I think he's I think somebody signs him. Um, seventy

522
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: Larry Oak and job. Uh, if the Browns keep him,

523
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: gonna cost a lot of money. Him and Vernon are

524
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 1: both you know, he's twenty seven years old. Austin Writers.

525
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: A guy that we talked about at the center position.

526
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: Cour Darrell Patterson at seventy four. That's kind of a

527
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: he's a one trick pony. It's a good trick. I

528
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: mean he's a great returner. But how much you're paying him? Right? Um?

529
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson just got added to that list over the weekend.

530
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: He's seventy eight on there. Uh. Tyrod Taylor at eight two.

531
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor an open, but he's a good bridge. Yeah,

532
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean he can. Um. We've talked about the Chiefs previously.

533
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: Brasha Breland is eight three. Uh, this is the guy

534
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: kind of Tyrelle Williams at eight five, got cut loose,

535
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: long and he can run. He got paid too much

536
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: whenever he left the Chargers, but he's had some injuries,

537
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: but he's long and he can run, and yeah, he

538
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: probably something left. Guy we talked about previously. Kelvin Beachum

539
00:27:54,200 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: is eighty sixty two. Yeah, that's not in. I mean

540
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: he was never the most overwhelming physically physical specimen to

541
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: begin with. I mean, he'll probably last and get by

542
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: with smarts and that type of thing, but he is

543
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: what he is. He's probably a starter though next year.

544
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: Somewhere eight is Tyson and Lulu M thirty four, Uh,

545
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: technically tech McKinley at one is just nuts to me.

546
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: What has he done nothing just because he's a former

547
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: first round pick. If he's a former fifth round pick,

548
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: this is another guy I've seen people somebody, some website

549
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: out somewhere must have must have said the Steelers need

550
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: to sign this guy. But this isn't happening. Malle Hooker.

551
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: Oh really, why would they sign Mallie Cooker to do? What?

552
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Sit on the bench? Does he have some interest in

553
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: coming here? Is? Or something's coming off a torn achilles?

554
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: He's from Newcastle, but that doesn't I don't care where

555
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: he's from, right, that doesn't mean he go sign a safety. Yeah.

556
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't dislike the player pre injury, but but he

557
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: can't stay healthy. It's not the preference. Here ninety seven

558
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: is James conn Yeah, I don't where I put him. Yeah,

559
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: James White about that one. I think he's gonna be

560
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: a buck Alvihl and the Wave and not mentioned on here,

561
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: Mr Robisk he comes in at number one on one,

562
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: it's a good spot for him. Yeah. I know you

563
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: and I bashed him, but once in a while we

564
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: I think we both said the price was right. I

565
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: mean this year and off of the Steelers, that's the

566
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: next year type of thing. But it wouldn't shock me

567
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: if his second stint in the league is better than

568
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: the firs. I mean, you know, I mean, I do

569
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: think he's an opening day starter. I don't. I don't,

570
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: But if he lands in the right spot and his groomed,

571
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: maybe he's like he would make sense in Denver somewhere

572
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: like that. They don't get a quarterback like okay, here's

573
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: if you get you don't have to change the offense,

574
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, frankly, he would make sense in

575
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh if you didn't have Rudolph and Haskins sign him

576
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: to a two year deal, not ensuring that he's but

577
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna get him. What's he gonna cost ten million

578
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: a year? Probably? Yeah, I mean, that's that's the that's

579
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: the process. You're Yeah, it's a business you're in. It's rough. Yeah,

580
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: So I just don't see somewhere right. Absolutely, but that's

581
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: the top one hundred on the NFL dot Com. Several

582
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: Steelers on that list. That was not right. That was

583
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: not Maybe they think I was gonna retire to hang

584
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, someone's gonna pay someone. If he wants

585
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: to play, somebody will pay him. He's better than Kelvin Beachum.

586
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: Better in Kelvin Beachum. I mean, he had a tough time.

587
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: Run blocking wasn't so great for him this year, but

588
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: I think he can still protect. And if you can

589
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: do that left tackle, you're worth a one year deal

590
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: with the Colts. With the Colts like to sign a

591
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 1: guy like Alvill and wav and draft one. Yeah right,

592
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: all right, that's a move. Anyways, he is Matt Williamson.
