1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: At least he's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,120

Speaker 3: I am Dale Lolly, he is the Matt Williamson and

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 3: Matt It is time to do a little mock draft

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 3: madness here as regardless we're a week away from the draft.

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: It is one week away. We should open the show

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: that right.

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: Hard to believe he's finally going to be here and

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 3: we can. I'm ready, as Bob Labriola said yesterday, we

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: can finally start talking about who's actually on the team

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: h these landing spots.

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 2: I'm ready to diagnose as opposed to the players themselves. Yes.

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: Uh so, we're working off the Pro Football Network mock

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 3: drafter today and we are on the clock here. We

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: got the New Orleans Saints calling with the trade offer

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: of picks forty and seventy one and next year's two.

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: They could pick first overall.

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: We could twenty one and pick two twenty nine.

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: I'm interested. Okay.

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: The other call is from the Seahawks, who are offering

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: fifty and fifty two and next year's two for twenty

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: one and two twenty nine.

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: I think the Saints steel sounds better. I mean their

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: future pick. I think could be really really it's a

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: higher yeah, yeah, second pick. Let's see who is available

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: here before we do anything. And Colston Loveland tight end

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: at of Michigan, Nick em Uari safety out of South Carolina,

30
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: Tyler Booker the guard from Alabama. G Hud Campbell, linebacker

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: from Alabama, Josh Simmons offensive tackle Ohio State, Walter Nolan

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: defensive tackle, Miss grays Abel offensive lineman from North Dakota State,

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: Nick Scourton, ed rusher from Texas A and m at

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Mecca BUCA wide receiver Ohio State. Jackson Dart will miss

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: the quarterback. Maybe that's a Saints target. Kenneth Grant is

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: still there. It looks like.

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: Did you go yeah, Derek Harmon went at twelve to

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: the Cowboys.

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, Nolan and Grant are appealing, but it might

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 2: be fun to build one from forty. I think.

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: From a Steeler perspective, I just have a feeling they've

42
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: got Harmon is their number one guy of.

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: The He seems to be gaining steam just amongst the

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: mockers and insiders.

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: Start looking at the again. The measurables, the motor runs hot.

46
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would say there's fewer question marks with

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: him than the other two. Yeah.

48
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: I think if he is available at twenty one, yeah.

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: They just do it. I think they just do it.

50
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: I understand it. Let's straight back, let's do something fun. Okay,

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: let's look way to forty.

52
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: Forty seventy one and next year's two for the Saints.

53
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: Next year's two is valuable to me. Yeah.

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: Now the question then becomes, if we get next year's

55
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: two from the Saints, try to move up from forty

56
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 3: to get to get back up.

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: I'd consider moving the Steelers too. I'm hold on to

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: the Saints. That's what I'm saying. Maybe trade the Steelers.

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: Two because I'm gonna guess that that my own two

60
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: is going to be later than what the Saints two

61
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: is going to be.

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll take that risk. I mean, maybe let the

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: first round go by and see it's an old onman

64
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 2: Grant still there at thirty three. That would be my Yeah,

65
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: maybe you could even move you're the Steelers third and

66
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: next year second and not move off forty you know.

67
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, something along us right, Yeah, all right, I'll accept

68
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: that one.

69
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, maybe let the draft go by ten picks

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: or whatever.

71
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: All right, we're at the end of the first round here,

72
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 3: the Eagles are up at thirty two. Grant is still there.

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, Grant is still there, Jaylen Milroe also there,

74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: Amari and Hampton also there.

75
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: Wow, do you want to let it go a few more?

76
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: I'd be happy with any of those, but I'd also

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: be pretty eager.

78
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: To Okay, we're thirty six. The Bills traded back. Hampton

79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: went to thirty at thirty two.

80
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: To the Eagles. I don't see that.

81
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: No, Jackson, Dark goes to the Browns, White Millum to

82
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: the Giants, Landon Jackson to the Titans. The Bills are up,

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: they must trade it back.

84
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: Huh.

85
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Do we want to make a offer here to

86
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: try to get back up?

87
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: Would Grant be your target?

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: Well, here's what's a villa g Ond Campbell, Igbuka, Luther Burden,

89
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: Jaln Milroe, Kenneth Grant. Those are the top five guys available.

90
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you this woe we made

91
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: the trade, would you be comfortable with Milroe at forty?

92
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: I think when the planet knows, I would.

93
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: If I get somebody else, If I'm able to get

94
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: back up here and do some.

95
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: I'd be super comfortable if I had to dtackle in

96
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: the bag, But if it was my first pick, I

97
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: still would be. But I'd feel a lot more better

98
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: if it was Grant. Then we didn't have to move

99
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: forty and got mill Row. I'm gonna get the bills

100
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: on the phone. Okay, Okay, let's offer them this year's

101
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: third and seventy one. That's that's the one we got.

102
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: That's one of the extra picks. Were governing the Saints

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: seventy one and maybe next year's three or two. I

104
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: have no problem moving the Steelers two. I'm keeping that

105
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: Saints due that might be thirty three.

106
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: Okay, they didn't accept the first offer.

107
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: Would you give them seventy one and eighty three? I

108
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 2: would think I would.

109
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:41,119
Speaker 3: Let's see here, I'm gonna go seventy one eighty three

110
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: in next year's three.

111
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: Three threes for an early early two three threes for Grant.

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah they didn't want. Now, maybe let it a couple

113
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: of picks go off. They might take Grant. I think

114
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:57,559
Speaker 2: they could.

115
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, they did not. They took a Buka.

116
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah that makes sense for them too.

117
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: Okay, So now we're up at forty. Pick thirty nine

118
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: is coming up. Kenneth Grant is still there. Do we

119
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: think the Bears might take Kenneth Grant.

120
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: Slight chance? Do you want to let it ride? Well,

121
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: we picked him one one pick.

122
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: We have one more pick before we pick. That's all right,

123
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: here's what's g odd Campbell, Luther Burd and Kenneth Grant.

124
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: Josh Connerley is there. Milroe went to the Giants. They

125
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: traded up to go get Milroe.

126
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: Let's roll the dice. Okay, he gets to forty. They

127
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: took Prince Hugh Good. Okay, so we get Grant at forty.

128
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: We're just going to read I got offers here, but

129
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: we're rejecting him because we're taking Kenneth Grant.

130
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean I consider him a twenty one. Right, Yeah,

131
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: we get that extra two for next year and basically

132
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: get our same guy.

133
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 3: The next question and becomes do we want is there

134
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: somebody that we want to trade up to go get it?

135
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: We got seventy one and eighty three coming up to

136
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: move up to this point. We're gonna give up one

137
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: of those two picks, but we're gonna and probably something

138
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: next year, maybe a third to come up.

139
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: I don't know who that guy would be. I mean, frankly,

140
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: i'd consider trading up for Shock.

141
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: Well here, so you got Trevon Henderson, Caleb Johnson, Quin

142
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: Shawn Judkins, all still available at the quarterback position. You

143
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: get Shuck and then Howard Hewers, Gabriel Leonard McCord.

144
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'd consider Henderson or Shock, but maybe let

145
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: a roll five to ten picks, see if either's still

146
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: hanging there.

147
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: We can there's three three backs still available. Shock might

148
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: make it to one of our picks because all the

149
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: teams that needed quarterbacks have taken quarterbacks and four quarterbacks gone.

150
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't I think Leila Ryde, and

151
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: see what happens with those two. We're gonna Takenneth Grant here.

152
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, I'll pause it in a minute once

153
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: we get to the fifty. Okay, we're into the fifties, and.

154
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: NURSERYE.

155
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: Higgins, Zerie Thomas, Maxwell Harriston, Jonas Savania, Trey Amos, Tate,

156
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: Ratleige mccubba, Luther Burden, Emery Jones, Mason Taylor, Benjamin Morrison

157
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: have all gone. All the running backs are there at

158
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: fifty three with Tampa Bay's pickup and.

159
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: It was Henderson, Johnson and Judkins. Yes, I think you

160
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: take Henderson right, and we trade up for him yesterday

161
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: later we roll the dice. We got to pick in

162
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: eighteen more picks that all three of.

163
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: Those guys, I guess there's a chance aren't going to

164
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: be gone? Or do I wait and see as soon

165
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: as one of them goes, then we make our move.

166
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: And you're what if we take Shuck now I assume

167
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: he's still there? Is he?

168
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: I would I'd be willing to wait on a quarterback

169
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: at this point. I mean, because again, four teams have

170
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: filled their quarterback needs in the like, are they going

171
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 3: to somebody else gonna jump in there and take him

172
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: just because yeah?

173
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. So what are you suggesting not

174
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: making this pick? Now? We're on the clock, right, we

175
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: got this? No?

176
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm saying, do we trade up to fifty three

177
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: with three of them on the board? We got another pick?

178
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 3: Our next pick is in eighteen picks.

179
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I would not trade up with three backs

180
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 2: that You're still happy out.

181
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: There now as soon as I see one go, But

182
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 3: then maybe I'm gonna pause again.

183
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: And see where.

184
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: And they're still on the board, or pick fifty nine.

185
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: We're going into round three, they're all still on the board. Great,

186
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: we're picked sixty five and we have pick seventy one,

187
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,359
Speaker 3: so three would need to go. In the next six picks.

188
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 3: We're probably gonna we're gonna get one of those guys,

189
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: more than likely. Okay, one just went, Judkins goes to

190
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 3: the Bears. Fine, we picked now Jacksonville's ahead of us,

191
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: and then we pick Henderson and Johnson are still on

192
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: the board. We're gonna get one of those two guys.

193
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: Okay, they got take Henderson.

194
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: Henderson over Johnson. That's an interesting They're very different. They're

195
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: very different. Johnson is a good zone runner.

196
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: Oh, he would fit really well.

197
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 3: Henderson gives you more in the passing game, to be sure,

198
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: more big playability, more big playability.

199
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: I do like the size different, you know.

200
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we'll take Henderson. Yeah, okay, we got

201
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: another pick coming up in eighty three and we are

202
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: on the clock.

203
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: I'd be highly interested in, Shuck. I'd be interested in

204
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: what the linemen are still out there too, Chuck.

205
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:40,559

208
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: We did take Grant though, Yeah, we took Grant, and

209
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,119
Speaker 2: I don't mind that Collins and Grant are sort of redundant.

210
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: I think they can move up and down the line

211
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Who's best available or some cornerback?

212
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: Dorian Strong is there, Zia Alexander, Kobe Bryant, Jordan Hancock,

213
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 3: Jacob Parris, Quincy Riley best available as Alfred Collins's. Harold

214
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: Fannon is still there, Tyler Shuck still there, Omar Norman Lott,

215
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: Schamar Turner to defensive tackle from Texas A and n

216
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: Latham Ransom safety from Ohio State. Cameron Williams, would.

217
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: You have any problem going like Grant and Caldwell or

218
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: Grant in Phillips if you waited around, like if we

219
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: did shock here, do a D tackle next round? They

220
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: seem like they'll be nosier, But there might be there

221
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: might be one of those guys that has some the

222
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 2: A and M Goude might be there or whatever. Yeah,

223
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: I would vote for shock here. There's still a lot

224
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: of D tackle problem taking shock here y, Yeah, eighty

225
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: three Tyler Shuck. Okay, there's still a lot of D

226
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: tackle talent on the board.

227
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we got we didn't trade our fourth pick, right,

228
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: we did the fourth round. Okay, so we're up at

229
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: one twenty three. The top player available is Josh Farmer.

230
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: Great. I wouldn't have any qualms with that at all.

231
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: Also available at the defensive tackle or Jordan Phillips, Jamury Caldwell,

232
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: JJ Pageese, Ralegh Mills from Notre Dame, Elijah Roberts from SMU.

233
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 2: I don't think Farmers only a nose either.

234
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Elijah Roberts does have I mean he is has

235
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 3: the classic size.

236
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 2: I know. I just think Farmer is a better prospect.

237
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: And n s peebles, Ty Robinson, Cam Jackson, Timsmith. I

238
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 3: mean his nose tackles.

239
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: Galore a lot. We could probably even still wait, Yeah,

240
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: who's best available regardless Farmer?

241
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: Will Howard, Logan Brown offensive tackle out of Texas or Kansas.

242
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: I should say Ronde Gadson, the tight end out of Syracuse,

243
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 3: Jaden Reid the safety out of Penn State, Damian Martinez.

244
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: Running back from Miami. We took Anderson, though.

245
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: Dante Thornton, wide receiver from Tennessee quinn Ewers. Jordan Phillips,

246
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: defensive tackle from Maryland, Jackson Slater the guard from UH State.

247
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: We've already addressed. Yeah, it's not like there's a great

248
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: corner wide out jumping out at Anthony Belton? Is there?

249
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 3: The offensive tackle from n State, Jaylen Travis, the offensive

250
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: tackle from Iowa State. I would vote for save On

251
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 3: Jones is there? Would you be willing to take a

252
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: shot at Savion Jones there?

253
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: Not over Farmer. I would vote for Farmer or Belton.

254
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: I think Belton is pretty good value to still be there.

255
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: I think he is too. Yeah, I think I don't

256
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 3: think he should still be there.

257
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: Right, I mean he might be your left guard next year. Yeah.

258
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: I think that's a good chance he might be your

259
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 2: left guard. Yeah, real, real good chance. All right, Anthony Belton?

260
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah I like that a lot actually, especially with all

261
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: the D tackles that are still out there.

262
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we are up again here.

263
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: Now did we trade the fifth rounder of the Saints no,

264
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: our last Yeah, we got two picks left this one

265
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: in Okay, so it doesn't have to be a D tackle.

266
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: But I bet there's something out there.

267
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: You're looking at JJ Bageese, Raleigh Mills from Notre Dame,

268
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: Elijah Roberts from s MU let's see you just defensive tackles, uh,

00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: Take Robinson.

272
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: Robinson versus Roberts is I think it's got to be

273
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: Roberts or Robinson.

274
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: One of the two. I'm cool with either. They're both

275
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: very different than Grant.

276
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: Roberts is long, like he's not longer, longer, he's but

277
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: he's got he's got the arm length and everybody.

278
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: Get more upside. Yeah, if we're developing and you know,

279
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: is there any corner receiver that just too good to

280
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,640

00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: One of those guys might be available, though, when we

303
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: Nobody took Grant, which was.

304

Speaker 2: Well, that worked out, but we also monitored it as

305
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: we did go into we did we didn't. We were

306
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,480

Speaker 2: of a good start. Yeah.

313
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: At eighty three we got Tyler Schuck, quarterback from Louisville.

314
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: One twenty three was Anthony Belton. Great, he can be

315
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: maybe our swing guy this year.

316
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, just maybe cross train him a little bit.

317
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: A little bit offensive tackle from NC State. One fifty

318
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: six was Elijah Roberts, defensive tackle from SMU. One eight

319
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: five was Justin Walley, cornerback from Minnesota, And we got

320
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: the Saints twenty twenty six second round.

321
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: Pick loaded with next year picks. Well, we didn't give

322
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: anything up from next year either, no loaded, So maybe

323
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: Shuck does something good, maybe he doesn't, But you have

324
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: all kinds of ammo to go get a quarterback next

325
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: year if you want. Yeah.

326
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 3: I mean, if if we hadn't made the trade and

327
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: we came out of this draft.

328
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: With that, I don't think we would have got Henderson. Well,

329
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: we went and got right and minus Henderson right the

330
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: exact same deal, but we got the Saint secon round

331
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: pick and Henderson right right, and we would have had

332
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: a seventh rounder. Yeah, I think I'd rather have Henderson

333
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: the stun pick whoever we do, whatever jag we got

334
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: in this set, I think so. Yeah, again, you never

335
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: know how a draft is going to work. Now, and

336
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 2: the only unbelievable thing to me or close to is

337
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: Henderson lasting that long. Yeah, I mean, but all the

338
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: backs did. But they all did right, Like nobody picked.

339
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: I could kind of see that happening this year.

340
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 2: How many teams truly need a back? I understand its

341
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: rich Cross.

342
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 3: Somebody asked that on the message board. Could you see

343
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: the could you see the backs kind of falling after

344
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: the first four or five go because there's everybody looks

345
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 3: at and said, there's so many.

346
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: There's so many.

347
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 3: There's like thirty draftable running backs in this in this draft,

348
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: there's thirty guys. This isn't me saying this, This is

349
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 3: all I know talking. Yeah, thirty guys with draftable grades.

350
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: Well they aren't.

351
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: There aren't going to be needs for thirty teams for.

352
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 2: Thirty you know, defensive ends and you know stuff that

353
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: are harder to find. Yeah, maybe we would go through

354
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: it sometime between now and the draft, Like, who how

355
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: many teams top two or three needs is a running back?

356
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 2: There are many?

357
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, everybody could use one. You're gonna take one

358
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: and stash one. But again there's thirty.

359
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: I mean I think most teams will probably draft one. Yeah,

360
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: but most are gonna be on day three.

361
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: But if I've only got say four picks going into

362
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: this draft, am I going to use one on a

363
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: running back?

364
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: Minnesota is probably not? Probably not right. Yeah, yeah, they

365
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: could use one, but are they going to do that?

366
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: Probably not? Probably not right. I mean, Atlanta doesn't have

367
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: a lot of picks.

368
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 3: They're not taking running back anyways, Robinson and Lgai, right, right, right.

369
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: We could go through all the teams. There's a lot

370
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: of teams that probably won't. Yeah, so interesting. Yeah, let's

371
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: get to a break. He is the Matt Williamson. I

372
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: am Dale Lallie.

373
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network,

374

Speaker 3: show there, or you can watch along on YouTube. Give

378
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 3: us a thumbs up on there, leave us your comments,

379
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: tell us how stupid we are for making this draft.

380
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: The people do that, by the way, everybody thinks and

381
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: maybe it's just they're new to the show. I can't

382
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 3: believe you guys made that pick. Why would you do that?

383
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 3: Like we explain it first of all, why were.

384
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: We do talk through? And it's not just like take them.

385
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't, just so watch the show. And also

386
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: this is probably today is probably about the hundredth mock.

387
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: Draft that they run, maybe four hundredth.

388
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 3: And the reason we do this is they run through

389
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: these different scenarios. Yeah, like this is what question.

390
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: Early on it was getting a noble I mean I

391
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: didn't know the fifth, sixth, seventh rounders. When we start

392
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: doing you know, now it's like, okay, well you can

393
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: get them in this neighborhood and it's your build, right.

394
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: It's why we do these things. We learn the players,

395
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: help you learn the players and see where these guys

396
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: are going at at least according to these mock drafts.

397
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: That's why we use different mock draft simulators every time

398
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 3: as well.

399
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: So I was listening to the Tom mcshay's most recent

400
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: podcast and they were going through just scenarios, first two

401
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: picks for every team. Would you rather go running back

402
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 2: now and tight end later or tight end now and

403
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: running back later. And when you do it for every team,

404
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: it's usually a pretty clear answer. Which direction's bet right,

405
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: you know? Yeah.

406
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: Anyways, we're gonna get to a break when we come back.

407
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 3: It is Twitter Thursday or ex Twitter Thursdays, and the

408
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 3: questions are rolling in. We'll get to those right after this.

409
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: At least.

410
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

411
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

412
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

413
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: Welcome back, guy, am Dale Lolly. He is the Matt

414
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 3: Williamson and it is a Thursday. That means it is

415
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 3: the x Twitter Thursday.

416
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.

417
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 3: I remember to send out the questions or the call

418
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 3: for questions today. First one here is from Mike Foster,

419
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 3: longtime listener. I read somewhere that on or after April

420
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: twenty eighth, free agents signed by teams are no longer

421
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: count against compensatory pick formula.

422
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: Is this true? Yes? It is after the draft the draft.

423
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, as soon as the draft is over,

424
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 3: the compensatory formula.

425
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: Is out the window. That doesn't matter one bit.

426
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 3: Yeap, guys haven't been signed at that point then they're

427
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 3: just free.

428
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: And I think this, but it doesn't go without saying,

429
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: but I like to reiterated Rogers doesn't count. Doesn't count.

430
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean because he was cut.

431
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: I don't know where that rumors started at. But somebody

432
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: doesn't know what they're talking about.

433
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: I've heard a lot of people, but I mean it's

434
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 2: a pretty deep rule. I mean, if you're a casual fan,

435
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: you wouldn't know the difference than that. I'm sure.

436
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: Is there anyone out there the Steelers should look at

437
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 3: on that date?

438
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: Question mark? Nick Chubb?

439
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 3: Question mark I'm not in on Chubb at all.

440
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: I would have interest in Dobbin's Chubb or Gus Edwards

441
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 2: if you didn't take a back until like the fifth round.

442
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 3: No, the only one of those guys I would even

443
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 3: be slightly interested in would be Dobbins.

444
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: Dobbins is my Favoriteedwards I.

445
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: Could again, I know my forty time. You don't think

446
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: I can get under six seconds? I'll bet I could

447
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: still be Sedwards in a race.

448
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: I hear you, but it's slow. The reason I brought

449
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: him up, though, is if they went with Sampson or

450
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: what you're looking for a bigger back tackle? Yeah, I

451
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 2: get goal line back might not even make the team. Yeah,

452
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 2: I mean the contractor you get those guys for especially.

453
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: Yet I understand what you're saying, and you know, I

454
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: jest about Gus Edwards. This draft is so I would

455
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 3: be shocked if they came out of this draft without

456
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: another running back.

457
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: I would too. I think they'll draft on no matter what.

458
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: But if it's maybe.

459
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: Two and they might get one as an undrafted free

460
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 3: agent that you really like.

461
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: That's the other thing I was gonna say is I

462
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: would spend a little extra for the undrafted free agent,

463
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: even if you took Hampton in the first round. You know,

464
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: just go get someone that's an NFL player an extra

465
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: draft pick and let him be your return guy and whatever.

466
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: If you'll find a way to use them war it

467
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 2: might not be on the team next year, you know,

468
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: Jedrick Wills, I guess maybe. I mean, if we went

469
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: through a deep free agent list post draft, which I

470
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 2: bet we will.

471
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: We will, you know who's still there two or three

472
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: names of it, because it'll be something. There'll be some

473
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: spots that they don't fill in the draft, and that's

474
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: when you would start looking at.

475
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, those guys they've signed, some veteran edges that would

476
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: have maybe you could do that. That's better than Moon,

477
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 2: you know, but he'd have to have some kind of

478
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 2: special teams quality. Yeah, you know.

479
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: Paul asked, we all like the idea of trading back

480
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: a few spots in the first round, but who is

481
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: your list of players you would absolutely not trade away from? Well, again,

482
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: it wouldn't think it wouldn't be a list of players

483
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 3: like single players that I wouldn't trade away from. But

484
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: if all three defense, if two of the three defensive

485
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: tackles are.

486
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 2: Gone, it'd be hard to a hard Yeah, moving back. Yeah,

487
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: that's the one scenario. I don't think there's a name

488
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 2: like Tyler Warren's there. I think I would just be like,

489
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: who wants to trade for Tyler Warreck? Right? You know

490
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 2: what I mean? Maybe you can get more out of it, right, Yeah, yep? Paul.

491
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: Also, as it sounds like Aaron Rodgers won't have a

492
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 3: decision before the draft, does that impact how aggressively the

493
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 3: Steelers pursue a quarterback in the draft this year?

494
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 2: I don't believe it does. I don't believe it does

495
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: either because I have a feeling if Rogers never becomes

496
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: a Steeler, excuse me, Kirk Cousins will or even Derek Carr,

497
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: you know, like, I bet they will have a I'm

498
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: sure they have a contingency plan.

499
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: There's a contingency plan there, and wouldn't change your draft draft. No,

500
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 3: you either like the quarterbacks in this draft or you don't.

501
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: I don't think you know, whether you have a quarterback

502
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: or not changes that process at all.

503
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 2: Right, because all those guys would be one year Reynolds

504
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: slash Old you know.

505
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, in a deeper class with a massive second tier

506
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: after the blue Chips. It seems most teams would like

507
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 3: to trade down. Could that mean a trade up is

508
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 3: discounted relative to previous years, hurting the Steelers' potential return

509
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: if they trade back from twenty one, or maybe help

510
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: them in the second or third round.

511
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's crazy.

512
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's that's a fair point. And I

513
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: think it also depends on how far up you're coming

514
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 3: up to go and what you're coming up to get. Like,

515
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: if one of those quarterbacks is still there at twenty

516
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 3: one and somebody's on the phone, there's a good chance,

517
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 3: you know, you know who the quarterback needy teams are.

518
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I did a mail bag on my DK podcast

519
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 2: yesterday and There were a lot of questions of if

520
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: the Browns or Giants want to get from what thirty

521
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: four or whatever to twenty one, what kind of hall

522
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: could you get obviously for a quarterback, And I said, well,

523
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to kind of hold their feet to the fire.

524
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: But in this the answer this question.

525
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: I want this year's too, I want next year's too.

526
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's basically what I said. You know, maybe

527
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 2: even and more or third this year too, I want Yeah,

528
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: I want some. I want a little sweetener in the

529
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: back end this year. Yeah, that's basically what I said, Like,

530
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: give me thirty four, next year's two, and hopefully your third,

531
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: and maybe I'll give you a fifth. Yeah, you know,

532
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 2: something like that is FU for this question. If it's

533
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: the Bills or the Chiefs and they're the other ones

534
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: on the phone, you might not get as much as

535
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: you think, you know, just because there's not gonna be

536
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 2: a ton of teams banging down your door to get there. Yeah,

537
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: it might be a good year to trade up if

538
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: you're the Bills are Chiefs? Right?

539
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 3: Steve Warrior fifty five asked, are you tired of this whole?

540
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers saga, what would you do for a quarterback

541
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: if if you both ran the team. I'm not tired

542
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 3: of the Aaron Rodgers saga because I haven't fretted over

543
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: it at all. There was a time when when the

544
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 3: first when this all this thing started, I'm like, yeah,

545
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 3: they need to give him a deadline, all this stuff.

546
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: But then after, you know, being at the owners meetings,

547
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: no one seems to be fre nobody seems to be

548
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 3: too frazzled about it. Yeah, you know, I mean to

549
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 3: pull back the curtain. This time of year, there's not

550
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 3: a lot of news in the league, and we've talked

551
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: to draft to death and we've mocked to death. So

552
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 3: coming up with five days two hours a day of

553
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: content isn't easy right this minute. But we're not like

554
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: talking about Aaron Rodgers every minute, you know, we're not

555
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 3: fretting about it or you know, like it's it's out there.

556
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 3: Everyone kind of knows at this point. And today there

557
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 3: was a little bit of news, but not shattering, nothing

558
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: earth shattering. And again I still think it happens, but

559
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 3: it's going to happen at some point. And again, once

560
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 3: he's in, he has to be, he has to be in,

561
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: can't be Yeah, Yeah, it can't be. Okay, I'm gonna play,

562
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna miss three quarters of O T A

563
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 3: S because I have to go to Tokyo.

564
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know there's a I mean it's different.

565
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 3: If cherry blossom this this year that's never been seen before.

566
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 2: I mean, it's different if there's a family emergency.

567
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: Right, that's different stuff and stuff happens.

568
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 2: With every one of these guys and everyone, right.

569
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: Marco A Romero Navarro says, just when they recognized the

570
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 3: great work you have done of draft preparation, well we

571
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: appreciate that. Yeah, we've been hopefully also prepared all of

572
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: our listeners for this year's draft A great.

573
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: Deal, I would say, as much as any year we've

574
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 2: hit it hard. Uh.

575
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: Steel Warrior also at he has a bunch of questions

576
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: on here. What do you think of Roger's appearance on

577
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 3: the pet Show and what it means for the Steelers?

578
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: Just winding Yeah yeah. He also asks what's favorite draft prospect?

579
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 3: Do you hope the Steelers get.

580
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: Some? We could come up with a lot, Yeah, Shuck

581
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: and Milroe or my quarterbacks. I kind of have a

582
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: little soft spot for Rourke too. I don't know how

583
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: that would work. Martinez is one of my favorite running

584
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: back fits, but I don't think he was one of

585
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: the guys in on a visit and they had a

586
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: lot there's some blocking tight ends. I mean, I'm not

587
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: trying to go like just first round picks. I'm just like, oh,

588
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: that would be fun. I get a lot of heat

589
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: for well, you take Charles Grant all the time. Yeah, yeah,

590
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: right there and he's good. He's there and he's good.

591
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: And if you would want to senior boy, I think

592
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: he might have been a first round pick. You know,

593
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: thee Liman galore. I think we've talked that to death. Yeah,

594
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: there's a handful of mid to late round corners. I'm

595
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: warming up to the Minnesota dude probably the top of

596
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: the list. Some of those type of guys. I guess

597
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: if you listened, you've heard, you know.

598
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we've talked about these guys and everybody

599
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 3: knows my Robinson.

600
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, great one that you know. There's some mid round receivers.

601
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: I have an eye on Williams from from Washington State.

602
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good one, good one that you know.

603
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 3: If you get those guys, great.

604
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: But we could put a long list together. We'll probably

605
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: do a whole show on it.

606
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, we usually end up taking those guys in our

607
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: mock drafts, you know.

608
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 2: Uh r J.

609
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: Poyer asks, pretty unlikely scenario. But how would you guys

610
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: feel about a major trade down to the forties.

611
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: Well, we just did this. That's actually what would a

612
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: trade package look like for you?

613
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 3: Also, could you guys try to do a mock draft

614
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 3: that would simulate something like this?

615
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 2: Well? Rjow luck would have it. We did it today.

616
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: Didn't read that question before we do it, but just

617
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: rewind five minutes on that. There you go.

618
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: Scott Pain asked how can the Steelers get hung up

619
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: over one player two years in a row? Why not

620
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: set a deadline? Who the player they got hung up

621
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 3: on last year?

622
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 2: I assume I might Russell Wilson. But they didn't get hung.

623
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 3: Up on them, No, not at all. They signed them

624
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: like the first day of a free agency. I'm not

625
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: I'm not understanding the who they got hung up on

626
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: last year.

627
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: Maybe Fields. I guess that lingered for a little bit.

628
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: There was rumors, but there were rumors, but that doesn't

629
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: mean that was a trade.

630
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: They actually waited it out the right way because initially

631
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: the Bears were asking for we need to get a

632
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: two and gotta be a three, and the end up

633
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: training for six.

634
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: Like, I don't understand the question. Who waited on? Yeah? Uh?

635
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 3: May Joyner asked they once moved off stars like Fanica

636
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: and Joey Porter before the decline. Now it looks like

637
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: they're holding on the cam and walk deep into their thirties.

638
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: Isn't it smarter to maximize value a year early rather

639
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: than a year late. Are they value valuing nostalgia too much?

640
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: No, he knows how well cam Hey were played last year.

641
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: Fanico was a free agent buzzy Okay, he left him

642
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: free agency to the Jets right for the Jake money

643
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 3: at the time.

644
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

645
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: Porter was kind of a cap casualty because they looked

646
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 3: at it and go, well, we have this James Harrison

647
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: guy waiting in the wings here and we need you.

648
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: We're still playing at a real high level. Yeah. Yeah.

649
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 3: He had sixteen sacks and next year I believe with

650
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: the with the Miami Dolphins. Yeah, but it came down

651
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: to a cap situation and they said, you know, the

652
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 3: cap at that point from like two thousand and five

653
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: to twelve or thirteen really didn't go up.

654
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: A whole bunch.

655
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: It was going up like two or three million dollars

656
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 3: a year.

657
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: So it was getting tight.

658
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: It was getting tight, and a couple of those years

659
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: it actually went down with the lockout year and all

660
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. So they looked at it and said, okay.

661
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin came in in seven and the first thing

662
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: he did, his first move.

663
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: Was to release Joey Porter. That was their first big

664
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: movie that year.

665
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 3: But it was it was a cost cutting move. They

666
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: needed to clear some cap space. They had James Harrison

667
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 3: waiting in Wings, and they said, well, we're going to

668
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 3: play this guy who was cheap, who was cheap and

669
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: good as it turned out, and moved on from Joey Porter.

670
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: Okay, that's like Hardgrave or you know. And that was

671
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: just go.

672
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 3: But they had straight finances. This is a different situation

673
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: because they have the cap space to sign these guys.

674
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: That's the thing. They don't have a super expensive quarterback.

675
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: I mean, their their cap situation is very, very friendly.

676
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: Omar has done a tremendous job with that. As a

677
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: rule of thumb, not even put a names to it,

678
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: though I definitely think it's good business to move off

679
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: a guy a year early than a year late, of course.

680
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: I mean, like, yeah, Belichick's really known for that. I mean,

681
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: especially if you could turn him into something. Sure, but

682
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: I'm pretty glad they didn't do that with Cam Hayward

683
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: a year ago. Yeah. Imagine if you didn't have this

684
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: past season where they had him last year, you may

685
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: be picking six in the draft or something, you.

686
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: Know, if you didn't have their record without TJ.

687
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: Watt.

688
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: And first of all, it looks like they're holding on

689
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: the Wat deep into their thirties.

690
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: He just turned three. Yeah, he's not deep.

691
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 3: In his third a right, Yeah, you know, and we

692
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: don't nobody knows a what Watt's asking for and b

693
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: how long with a term of a deal that's going

694
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: to be.

695
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: And again it's probably going to be a similar percentage

696
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: of the cap of what he's making now.

697
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I don't have a problem with that at all.

698
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 2: If there was a different instance. But I don't think

699
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: either one of those fit the bill of your hanging

700
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: on too long.

701
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 3: No or nostalgia, you know, right, I mean, they moved

702
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: on from Ben Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger still wanted to play, and

703
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 3: they said now we're.

704
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: We're good at the end of day.

705
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know they've not like they're holding on

706
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 3: to some of these guys too long.

707
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: Certainly not in those two cases.

708
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 3: Derek Manton asked, Love the Show, what is you and

709
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 3: Matt's best game you have ever worked?

710
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: I don't work games. I'm at home. I've been in

711
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: preseason games on there. But yeah, I.

712
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: Figured it out. Oh, during the season this year, we

713
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 3: were in the press box somewhere I can't remember where

714
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: this year, and the press box announcer came on and said,

715
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 3: I want to you know, we all want to recognize

716
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 3: that this is so and So's five hundredth career game

717
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: covering the team.

718
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

719
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 3: So I sat down, like, I wonder how many games?

720
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 3: I wonder where I'm at? So I started, I sat

721
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: down and started figuring it out. I was at like

722
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 3: seven hundred and something. Wow, And I'm like.

723
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: Do you ever remember missing one? Oh? I missed.

724
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: I think I missed the final game of the nineteen

725
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 3: ninety three season because the Steelers had already wrapped everything up.

726
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: They were going to Green Bay and my boss said, well,

727
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 3: you don't need to go to that one because they're

728
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: playing for anything.

729
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: If it was like personal reasons or.

730
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 3: So I didn't go to that one.

731
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: I didn't go to it was.

732
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: A game I'm trying. Oh, the hurricane game in New

733
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 3: York with travel like travel was impossible, same thing, I

734
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 3: didn't go.

735
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: It was better. I bet you watched both of those

736
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: watch and wrote something on them, so you covered them.

737
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 2: You might not have been there. Yeah, right way.

738
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 3: I didn't actually go to Ben Roethlisberger's first start in Miami.

739
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: Same reason. If you remember there was a hurricane.

740
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: Was that the ridiculous weather game?

741
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a hur There was a hurricane going

742
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: coming into Miami. And my boss said, not, I can't,

743
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 3: we can't. I'm not gonna. I'm not going to tell

744
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 3: you to fly into a hurricane. Yea, and be I

745
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 3: don't know when when would you get back? Yeah, So

746
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: I didn't go. And I argue, I'm like, look, it's

747
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: the rookie quarterbacks first career start. I should probably be there.

748
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 2: He said, no, all right, I guess you've never missed

749
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: a home game, though I have.

750
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 3: I missed one during COVID was weird. Both of my

751
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 3: kids that were at home had COVID. They probably told

752
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 3: you and I had to stay home. My wife had

753
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: to stay home from work. Neither one of we got

754
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 3: tested regularly throughout the process. Neither one of us ever

755
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 3: tested positive for COVID, but we had to stay away

756
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 3: for I had to stay away for a week. She

757
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: had to stay because she works in the medical field.

758
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 3: I had to stay away from work for two weeks.

759
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: Neither one of us ever we had dinner with our

760
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: kids everything. If I'm going to be off them as

761
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: we'll get this out of the way and get COVID. Yeah, yeah,

762
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 3: never happened. So you maybe missed a handful. I can't

763
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 3: remember who they played that game, but I watched it

764
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 3: on TV and I'm like.

765
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: All right, I should be there. I feel fine, and yeah,

766
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 2: yeah I didn't like it. I'm sure it's still pretty

767
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: strong record thirty three years. Yeah, but I guess figuring

768
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: out the math wasn't that hard to get the seven.

769
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: It was not. No.

770
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 3: Matt Sable asked, do you think Fields and Milrow are

771
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 3: similar in draft outlook Fields when eleventh was seen with

772
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 3: higher upside or more of a sure thing than mil

773
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 3: Roe at the time. Well, yeah, Fields was much better.

774
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 3: He was a much more well, I don't want to say,

775
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: refined passer. But it was much easier for Fields at

776
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 3: Ohio State because he had I mean, right Wilson.

777
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: And I know mill Rods from Bama, but they had

778
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 2: a lot of defections and a new staff too. It

779
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 2: was not the typical Bama team. Yeah, I mean I

780
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: think Field was a better passor at the same he was.

781
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 3: But Fields was also working with like five NFL wide receivers.

782
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, and a pro ready offense.

783
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 2: Well. I not that they weren't at Bama, sure, but

784
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: bam Mdama's got a young stud receiver too. I mean

785
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: it's not like it's bad. Yeah, the coupver doesn't bear.

786
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 2: But I mean there's a lot of similarities I.

787
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 3: Think, I do think there are. I think I think

788
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 3: Milroe is a better runner.

789
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 2: I do too, and that's saying a lot. Yeah. Field

790
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: didn't run as much at Ohio State as people think. No, No,

791
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 2: he was more of a pocket. He had his receiver.

792
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: Yeah he did it right, Yeah, but he was just

793
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 3: kind of a see it, throw it kind of thing.

794
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: But he threw the ball well.

795
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, his I'm sure I would say he was

796
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 2: more accurate. He had to have a probably better completion.

797
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: There are things that Milroe has to work on oh yeah,

798
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 3: his intermediate passing and his short passing or two of those.

799
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 3: He's a great deep passer, great deep passer, but he

800
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: needs to work on his touch, and some of that's

801
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 3: marrying up his footwork with his arm. It's a problem

802
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 3: for a lot of running quarterback.

803
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: The conversation the other day about it too, we were

804
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 2: just talking about Milroe and my co host said, boy

805
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: a senior bol really worried me, And I'm like, yeah,

806
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 2: it was pretty rough, you know, and at that point too,

807
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 2: you're hearing those for all of them though, it was rough,

808
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 2: all of that, and the small hand thing came out

809
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: then by the way, his hands are bigger than wards. Yeah,

810
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 2: words only nine exactly. He's a little bit over. But

811
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: I also think at that point he was working with

812
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: Jordan Palmer in the midst of changing his mechanics too,

813
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 2: you know, like step one of it. So it's not

814
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: going to look great, but the mechanics need to change. Yeah,

815
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 2: but he started it.

816
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: Then, that's not when he gets the came right, You've

817
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 3: already started that process, right.

818
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure he told teams that.

819
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 3: Nobody's asking Jylen Milroe as justin Fields was asked to

820
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: come in and start right away exactly.

821
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 2: That's the beauty of it. I mean, you might come

822
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: in and run the football for you five times a game.

823
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: Or and you're getting a much better value taking John

824
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 3: Wilrow in this second or early third round or wherever

825
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: he goes, as opposed to taking Justin Field's eleventh exactly

826
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 3: exactly any of the other quarterbacks that have gone, the

827
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 3: running quarterbacks that have gone early in drafts.

828
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: It's like, and I believe mill Rose upside today is

829
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: equal to fields is coming out of Ohio State. Yeah.

830
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 2: I mean we know a lot more about Fields too,

831
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 2: but they both have the same ceiling.

832
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 3: Mel Asks is He's three questions here? Is it comfortable

833
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: to say that it's not a question of if TJ

834
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 3: will get a contract extension, but when yes, I'm very

835
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 3: comfortable saying that, what's the most glaring hole on the

836
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 3: Steelers roster other than quarterback? I think it's easy. It's

837
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 3: defensive tackle easily. It might be the second biggest hole. Yeah,

838
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 3: I think it's running back or DT two is the

839
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 3: next biggest?

840
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah?

841
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,600

00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: a great change up and I was happy to get yesterday.

862
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of Grande Italian if you tried that,

863
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 3: And it's like a Donaldson's Crossroads. They used to have

864
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 3: an Anseler a satellite one in Washington way back when

865
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: the original one I believe was is up there and

866
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 3: then they had another one. They had a Grande's Junior

867
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: at in this and they closed out and recently, but

868
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 3: the original Grande's in the Oka is pretty good.

869
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know North Hills. I mean, I would only

870
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,040

00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: At least he's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

Speaker 3: Radio, and welcome back. I am Dale Lolly. He is

881
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 3: the Matt Williamson. We're gonna roll through these final Twitter

882
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 3: questions here before we end the show today. We're gonna

883
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 3: do a little rapid fire. We've already answered a lot

884
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 3: of the Aaron Rodgers questions, so I'm gonna skip over

885
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 3: some of those. Yeah that Cody asks, is there a

886
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: fact where there is the fact that there are only

887
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 3: four to six superhero quarterbacks in any given year, a

888
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 3: secret the NFL wants to keep hidden. I think in

889
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 3: any idea very well, well, in any other year, there

890
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 3: can't be more than twenty percent of the league with

891
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: true franchise quarterbacks.

892
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 2: This is a much longer conversation we have time for.

893
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 2: But I think like Dak Prescott is a franchise quarterback,

894
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: he's on a superhero. Yeah, but I think there's twelve

895
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: to fifteen franchise maybe ten to twelve franchise quarterbacks. I

896
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 2: think there's four superheroes and maybe Jayden Daniels is the

897
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 2: next one. Maybe.

898
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Terry Shipman says, I hope they don't. I hope

899
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 3: they don't buy what would I hope they don't, but

900
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 3: I should be. But what would you put the odds

901
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 3: on for a quarterback at twenty one and do you

902
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 3: think the odds are getting better? I would put the

903
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 3: odds at about ten to fifteen.

904
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 2: Hours twenty percent max.

905
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty low in quarterback at twenty one, right,

906
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 3: maybe at twenty eight or yeah, you know different, Yeah,

907
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 3: not that high. No, And it doesn't matter with the

908
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 3: Rogers stuff. Dave Marcass, would you consider doing a drive

909
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 3: fantasy league with listeners.

910
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I used to do. I did one

911
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 2: on my Peacock and Williamson show for two years in

912
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: a row, and there was no money involved, and I

913
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 2: really lost interest. In a hurry, I'm in too many

914
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: and the season gets too big. The problem is the

915
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: season is really busy. I forgot to put lineups in

916
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 2: and then I was just like, I give up, I'm done.

917
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 3: Weber eighty eight says was reading the chat with Jerry

918
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 3: Doulk had yesterday in to PG. He had some of

919
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 3: some different opinions on draft strategies for the Steelers than

920
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 3: you do. Do you read other writers Steeler draft chats?

921
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: I do not. I don't, But that's funny. Brought that

922
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 2: up because for our draft coverage and the owners meeting

923
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 2: fit this bill a little bit too. I am very

924
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 2: excited to talk to non Loy analysts about their thoughts

925
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 2: on the draft. You know, Jerry and Max and all

926
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: those dudes too, that are really good at what they do.

927
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: They might have some insight, I know though of some insight,

928
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 2: but they'll also have just a different viewpoint, you know. Yeah, yeah.

929
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 3: We talk to each other every day, right, right, right.

930
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 3: Here's a random one from Michael Edesso. Here's a random one.

931
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 3: Any late round fullbacks or h backs picked your interest.

932
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 3: Would love to have an actual fullback that can block,

933
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 3: maybe catch a ball or two. Uh, play special teams

934
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 3: like Derek Watt. Would love to replace Connor Heyward at

935
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: some point. Do you think they ever had interest in

936
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 3: you check when that was when they brought him in.

937
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did ring them in. I wasn't positive that happened.

938
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: You don't have to draft those guys. I don't have

939
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 2: to draft them, right, Yeah. Would you consider like Lumpkin,

940
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: the two hundred and seventy pounds center. The thing is

941
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: he ran like the moves?

942
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, he ran like a five to three not fast

943
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 3: enough to do that, if you know, if I'm going

944
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 3: to take Jackson Hawes and do that with yeah, yeah maybe.

945
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 2: I mean they had a fullback in camp last year.

946
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 2: They didn't keep them, you know, yeah, so yeah, I mean.

947
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 3: But you've been going to play great special teams.

948
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 2: Oh that's his job, number one.

949
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 3: Chris Maxwell says, greatest Steelers show, Well, thank you.

950
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 2: Tomlin.

951
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 3: Calling the defense is something he and Rooney denied, yet

952
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: some reports say that he called the defensive plays. Well,

953
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 3: that's not true. Can we finally get to the truth

954
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 3: of the story, please. The head coach has veto power.

955
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure here's here's here, and he said, no, we

956
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 3: don't want to do that.

957
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 2: Here.

958
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 3: He doesn't call every defensive play.

959
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure it goes something like, and this might be

960
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 2: a good down to heat him up. Yeah, you know, yeah,

961
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: let's heat him up here. Let's do this.

962
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 3: But he doesn't sit there and look at the play

963
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 3: sheet like Andy Reid calling the offensive play right right,

964
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 3: that doesn't happen, no.

965
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: Exactly, which is good because that's time consuming and it's hard.

966
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 3: Joe mccrusick says, what do you think that? That's a

967
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 3: Rogers question? Andrew asked, if gent falls the route to

968
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 3: the fifteen seventeen Rangers, you move up to take him

969
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 3: might only cost a fourth rounder, similar to what the

970
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 3: Steelers gave up for Roderick Jones a few years ago.

971
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 2: It's appealing and it would make you really good. I

972
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 2: don't see him falling that far. I don't either. I

973
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 2: can't imagine getting past the Bears. Yeah, probably a moot point.

974
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 2: And I think the answer is no.

975
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Rich Prun said he has two questions. Matter, is

976
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 3: there any preseason maintenance required in order to get the

977
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 3: Williamson dog roller up and run?

978
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 2: Oh the hot dog roller. No, no maintenance at all.

979
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 2: It sits in the garage with a blanket over to

980
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 2: keep the dust lock. It. Just a quick wipe down,

981
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: plug it in. Dogs are rocking in five or ten minutes.

982
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 3: So you're serving dirty dogs. Well, I think it's a

983
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 3: little clean.

984
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't need like chloroxters, you know, wipe down heavy, right.

985
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 3: And his question for me is who has been more

986
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 3: exposed over the years, your listeners or your family to

987
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 3: the exhausted, exasperated LOLLI SI.

988
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 2: There, it is.

989
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 3: Probably probably the listeners. Yeah, probably the listeners, no doubt.

990
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 3: I don't do that too much to my family. My

991
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: wife would punch me in the face.

992
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might punch in the flu.

993
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 3: That looks like all the Twitter questions that we get

994
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 3: to the end here. Yeah, I don't see any other

995
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: ones on there. We appreciate all of those for sure.

996
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 3: And uh, well, we'll be back again tomorrow Draft week.

997
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: Oh no, wait, this is Friday. I was thinking I

998
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 2: was thinking we were gone for the weekend.

999
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: No, we're back on well, technically it is kind of

1000
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 3: draft week because now we're seven days out, so we're

1001
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 3: going to be within seven days of the draft.
