1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to our number two of the drive here

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: on Steelers Nation Radio, And as we often do here

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: this time of year, we're gonna do a little fantasy

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: football focus. Matt, you said you came out with your

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: rankings this week. Yeah, for us, we're gonna do a

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: little mock draft.

7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: Oh wow, how about that.

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna we're using the draft Wizard on fantasypros dot Com.

9
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna randomize this thing.

10
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

11
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: We have twelve teams, so our first year PPR basic,

12
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: so we randomized it. We came up with the number seven. WHOA, Okay,

13
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: how about that?

14
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: That's actually kind of funny because if the one thing

15
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 3: I was gonna say before we started is I want

16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 3: to pick in the top seven. I think there's seven

17
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: top dudes, and then I don't know who eight is.

18
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: So the fact that we get seven, we'll get to

19
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: it when it comes around, but I think that that's

20
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: where I want to pick right now.

21
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: The teams this year, the names, the names we're looking at,

22
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: Bryce Young at Heart, Acre's gonna Fake Baker's Dozen, Jamaican Me,

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: Jamark and Me Crazy, Jurassic Chark, Wattleberger. We're on the Clock,

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: the Krispy Kareems, Riddle, Riddley, me This, fant Man to

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: two Train and Bijeon Mustard are the team names.

26
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: Okay, more creative ones than that.

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: So Christian McCaffrey, Breese, Hall, two, Ceedee Lamb, Tyreek, Hill,

28
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Aman Ross, Saint Brown, Jamar Chase. Where the picks we're.

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: Sitting name Brown was not in my top seven?

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Okay?

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 3: So my seven elite players, in no particular order are McCaffrey, Bijeon,

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: and Hall at receiver or at running back. And then

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: the four receivers I think are Tier one are Tyreek, Chase, Jefferson, Lamb.

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Right now, the seventh pick, we got Jefferson or Bjeon Robinson.

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: I think you take Robinson.

36
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: I think too. Yeah.

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just because there's so many receivers you

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: can't ignore it. They go quick. But I have no

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: problem with Saint Brown going to top seven. He might

40
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: be my number eight. But the fact that you have

41
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: the two of those to pick from is pretty nice.

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: Sitting here at seven.

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, let's go be.

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Jong and I think apples to apples here are apples

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: the orangers.

46
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: I think you take the running the little homework we've

47
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: done on these, Like the second round running backs are a

48
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: little I don't like that.

49
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we may not take another running back for four

50
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: or five hours.

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, get loaded everywhere else and.

52
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah right, okay, so we are back up now.

53
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Round two in general is a little here.

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: The picks just ahead of us were Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley,

55
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Devonte Adams. The top picture suggested for us are Josh Allen,

56
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: Chris ol Lave, Michael Pittman, Sam Laporta.

57
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: If I can't go quarterback or tight end yet.

58
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: The top wide receivers available Christal Lave, Michael Pittman, Brandon Ayuk,

59
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. Lave is my favorite that you mentioned, Jaylen Waddle.

60
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: They got picked through pretty hard, DJ Moore, Nico Collins.

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: Those are all around three guys. Yeah, I would go

62
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: a Lave, but it seems a little early. Again, I

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: don't love round two so far.

64
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: It's get picked over pretty I mean, do you consider

65
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: Allen there.

66
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: More than I wort? The thing is, though, like.

67
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: I know you give me a hard time and rightfully

68
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: so that Richardson's my quarterback too, And the reason is

69
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: there's just so many like if I bust on him.

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: I can go get Aaron Rodgers and live with it,

71
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: you know. I mean that's the thing.

72
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: You're not going to bust on Alan.

73
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: He's way better than everybody else.

74
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, in this instance, I can understand it.

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, just based on what's available. I mean, Chris o

76
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: lave okay, but there are.

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: One of these guys will be there next round.

78
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are fifteen of those guys that like are

79
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: just right there with him. I don't love his quarterback situation.

80
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: No, I do like the offensive coordinator change. But I

81
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: mean how much faith are you put in that?

82
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. Let's try it.

83
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: I mean back to your point, if we take Allen here,

84
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: I think you're really wait on running back too.

85
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if the idiot, if you start your

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: draft off with Josh Allen and b Robinson, nobody's gonna

87
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: want to play.

88
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: That's like your opponent's like a crap, you know.

89
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's say we never do that.

90
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: We'll never do that.

91
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh Allen is to pick at wide receiver. Now

92
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: we now we have to go watch.

93
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: I think I'm not taking Kell Okay, so.

94
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: The guy's still available. DJ Moore DK Metcalf Cooper, Cup, Deebo,

95
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: Samuel DeVante, Smith, uh Stefan Diggs, and Amari Cooper Molik neighbors.

96
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: I like pretty much all there's not one that just

97
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: stands out or JO think you just take DJ Moore.

98
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: They're yeah, happy about it. Yeah, I mean there's a

99
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: third round guy.

100
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: If we could end up with two or three in

101
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: that neighborhood or another their name you mentioned there, I

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: think you got pretty solid receiver corps.

103
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're back up again. It's Cup is still available.

104
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: Stuff on Digs, DeVante, Smith, Milik, neighbors, Amari Cooper.

105
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: I shy away from Digson, Cup.

106
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. We can't take him away from Flowers, T Higgins,

107
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. I might take he hasn't come up yet.

108
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Terry mclaurin's there.

109
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: I don't a problem McLaurin either. George Pickens, I bet

110
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: you could get him around if you want to play chicken. Yeah.

111
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: I assume we're starting three receivers.

112
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: Three receivers you have flex uh, I just want to

113
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: take a look real quick at.

114
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: I think I have Pickens is like my receiver eighteen

115
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: or so, which is probably about this neighbor.

116
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: In this neighborhood tight end, you got Trey McBride, Dalton Kincaid,

117
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: having Ingram, Kyle Pitts. It's not bad. I mean a

118
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid Alan.

119
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: Is a fun combo.

120
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if there was nothing worse in fantasy history,

121
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: and playing against Kelsey and Mahomes, I.

122
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: Mean, I think Kincaid's going to be their number one receiver.

123
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: I think he's my tight end. Three off the top

124
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: of my head, maybe four Andrews Kelsey Laporta, but he's

125
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 3: right there.

126
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: And then I tryd of drew a line. I mean,

127
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: was kind of fun. McBride was pretty good last year too,

128
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: though he is.

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: One thing I noticed about tight end is I think

130
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: there's only like seven I want and then it's like

131
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: punt and wait and like take a Friar Mooth or somebody.

132
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: Like that and just take a quick look at running

133
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: back here, Kamara Mixon, Kenneth Walker, Kenneth.

134
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: Walker's and Walker. I've way higher than those two.

135
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, those two, Aaron Jones, it's not bad. We should

136
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: at least pay attention to them. Yeah, they are strong arguments.

137
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: So who are the third tight end? Like McBride and

138
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: Kincaid are almost the same to me, but the hookup's

139
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: kind of fun.

140
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: McBride, Kincaid, Evan Ingram, cow Pitts.

141
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: Those two I like better than the other two. But

142
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: I bet the other two will be there in a round.

143
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: And Kittle was there. Yeah, David Njoku.

144
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: Okay, anyone's stand out. The receivers are good, not great.

145
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: Our top suggestion is Cooper Cup, followed by de Vonte Smith,

146
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, Joe Mixon. I don't really like any of them.

147
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: Now those would be my pick. I don't think he

148
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: would go receiver. I think you go Kenneth Walker. Yeah,

149
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean you got Kenneth Walker and John Robinson. Look out.

150
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: I mean new coaching staff might not see that as

151
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: a timeshare, right, They might just say Walker's a lot

152
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: better because he's really really good. Because he is I

153
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: have him might ranked way higher than consent.

154
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: Walker's the pick.

155
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Now I think you think about a Pickens or

156
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: one of those tight ends.

157
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're hoping that Pickens makes it there, and

158
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: he did so. Right now, the choices are Te Higgins,

159
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, George Pickens, Terry McLaurin.

160
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: I actually I think.

161
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: I have Pickens over all those. Yeah, just based on

162
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: volume and who's the tight ends.

163
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna catch touchdowns? The tight end you're looking at,

164
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: Kincaid is still there. Evan Ingram, George Kittle, Kyle Pitts.

165
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: I think I Cato were Pickens, just the Allen factors

166
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: kind of we're gonna.

167
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: Before taking a chance of being really bad at wide.

168
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: Receiver now, which is exact opposite of what we planned on.

169
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is around five, So Pitts is

170
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: still there, Ingram, still we would have in kit Okay one,

171
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: I can live with any of those guys. This is

172
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: a beauty of picking in the mid round, middle of

173
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: the round. All right, let's take Pickens.

174
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: I think you take Pickens. Now you get two.

175
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: Now we're balanced. Gives you more options in like round

176
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: eight nine. One thing I notice about receivers too, is

177
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: of course it's deep, but there aren't many like round

178
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: eight ones that I want this year where there's a

179
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 3: lot of running backs.

180
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so the top receiver is still available. McLaurin, Chris Godwin,

181
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, Jayden Reed.

182
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: All would be fine.

183
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, tight end. Evan Ingram, George Kittle, Cal Pitts, David

184
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: and Joku.

185
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: I think Pitts is my favorite.

186
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: I think Pitts is mine too.

187
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't healthy last year. Any awful quarterback players,

188
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 2: I think that's a pick. Yep, Cale Pitts is a pick.

189
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: We're done a quarterback, We're done tight end more. Yeah,

190
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: that's always kind of a good feeling.

191
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

192
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: Used for a lot of running backs and receiver at

193
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: the fan and some will definitely.

194
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: Stick wide receiver. Calvin Ridley, Rashid Rice, Jaden Reed, Jordan

195
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Addison are the top guys available. Jackson Smith and Jigba.

196
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: He's a big fan. I'm a big fan of when

197
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: Sutton at running back, who was the number one receiver there?

198
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 2: There was somebody that was.

199
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: Like Calvin Ridley. Yeah, but Jayden Reid. I kind of

200
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: like Jayden Reid there too. Running back. You're looking at

201
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard where he mostert, Zach Moss, Brian Robinson.

202
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a hard time going running back here.

203
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: I almost feel like this has to be a receiver.

204
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: Tude. You mention, would you like the lot in the group?

205
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: Looking at the guys available? I like Jayden Reid and

206
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba me too.

207
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 2: Both are The only reason are there is because of

208
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: the target competition for both. I think that Smith and

209
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: Jigba is a gem that was good last year and

210
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: people didn't realize he was good last year. Yeah. I

211
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 2: prefer them, but you could convince me a Reid.

212
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: I think Reid is the receiver to own in Green Bay.

213
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: I think he is too, which is pretty good.

214
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: Actually did a podcast about that this morning on Who's

215
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: the Dynasty Receiver?

216
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: To my only question with Smith and Jigba, is Metcalf

217
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: going to get most of the end zone targets?

218
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a legit concern. But I think

219
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: Smith and the Jigba might be in two receiver sets

220
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: this year. Yeah, which is a huge jump for him

221
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: because Lockett's good but declining and.

222
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: Let's do read Okay, we might be all to Yeah, it.

223
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: Might be a get both might get both. Yeah. Figure

224
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: out as the season goes along who the starter is

225
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: for us, and.

226
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: Then we have all kinds of yeah, of well, there

227
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: he is, Jackson Smith and Jacobs vailable.

228
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 2: I could just do it again. I love picking the

229
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: middle rounds.

230
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I think we're we got four good

231
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Now, now we start looking more running back, yeah,

232
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: and start trying to.

233
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 3: Maybe like high high variance handcuffs injury away from being

234
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: a league winners type guys.

235
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so here are the guys available. Gus Edwards, yeah,

236
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: h Eas Brown, Jerome Ford, Zach Charbonay. Well we have Walker,

237
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: We do have Walker, we could have all also, three Seahawks. Yeah,

238
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: Chewbahabbard is there. This is gotten pretty well picked over

239
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Kendrey Miller. Miller's a big target of mine. Chandler, it's

240
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: early for him, but I like Chandler. Rico Daldell.

241
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: I think Miller is a guy to own in New Orleans.

242
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: But charbon A is interesting. I wish we didn't just

243
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: take Smith. And I mean, I don't care if we

244
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: have three Seahawks.

245
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't You mean do we think Jerome Ford

246
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: gets half a season of starter?

247
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: Is there anyone else there? I think that. Did they

248
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: sign Dante Foreman?

249
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

250
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: I don't know that Ford can ever be the man?

251
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: M m hm.

252
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: Who the receivers, Christian Watson, Jacobe Meers, Mike Williams, Jamison Williams.

253
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: Watch him be a nice flyer. But we all read.

254
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, then you got Mike Williams, you got Brian Thomas Junior,

255
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: you're kind of throwing rookie, and dra Miller.

256
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: Might be my pick. Quarterbacks are a tight ended quarterback

257
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 2: that shouldn't know how.

258
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: About this rock perty Jayden Daniels is there? Yeah, Jared

259
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: Goff toua tago vloa Jane Danielson might be worth a

260
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: flyer there because all of a sudden, now you if

261
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: he starts playing well.

262
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: I have him way ahead of all those guys.

263
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: I can you can trade him potentially and get yourself

264
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: a true number one wide receiver.

265
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: It's also a bit of a trap because I know

266
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: you know this as well as anyone. I mean, if

267
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 3: you're in a twelve team league one quarterback, there's only

268
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: one team that's quarterback needy, you know, I mean it's.

269
00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: Both of those guys are top six seven starters.

270
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: Like, somebody's gonna come out of this with Jared Goff

271
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: is their starter. Yeah, may not be happy for a week, Yeah.

272
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: Rogers or somebody like that doesn't run.

273
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: I fall for that trick a lot, and then you

274
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: end up taking eighty cents on the dollar to trade him,

275
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 3: which isn't always bad.

276
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: If I can if I can package, I don't care

277
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: if I give up too much, right, like if I

278
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: package one of the packaged.

279
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: And read for starting seconds.

280
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I was just gonna say. Yeah, and

281
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: I can. I can really upgrade at the receiver position

282
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: for an every starter. I don't care if I make

283
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: somebody else better. I'm worried about making my team better

284
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: real quick.

285
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: Just check the tight ends, like if there's an Anger

286
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: and Mercer. Because there's more of a shortage of tight ends,

287
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: it's easier to trade.

288
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: And Joku Ferguson, Rock Bowers, Dallas Goddard.

289
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: I think the joke who stands out but not enough

290
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 3: to take him as a backup tight end.

291
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can take the annuals.

292
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: I mean I just like that better than any of

293
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: the running backs.

294
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: I don't like what's sitting there for period.

295
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean we're in around nine.

296
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right, let's take we can sell. And

297
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: the other way is you trade Josh Allen. Yeah you

298
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: could go. You could get real exciting and say you

299
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: can trade Josh Allen the day of the draft to

300
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 3: the team that takes a receiver. Whoever's the last team

301
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: to take a quarterback. I know I took Josh Allen

302
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: ahead of your third round pick, but what about we swap.

303
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 2: Him straight up for your receiver two?

304
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and most people might be like, yeah, okay, yeah, right,

305
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: I would have taken him at that spot.

306
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: Okay, Top running backs available now you but Hubbard, Kendrey Miller,

307
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: ty Chandler, Jamison. These are top picks for US Jamison Williams.

308
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: Top running backs you're looking at Hubbard, Miller, ty Chandler,

309
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:39,119
Speaker 1: Rico Daldell Tyler is a fan of Kyler Algierre solid.

310
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: We have Bijean. I think he might still have some

311
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: standalone value.

312
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Arthur Smith will use two backs more

313
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: than this staff, but that doesn't necessarily matter.

314
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: Julil McLaughlin Khalil Herbert. I mean I don't, I don't.

315
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lloyd better take a back soon, Marshaw Lloyd.

316
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: Marshall Lloyd about today, like, I don't know if aj

317
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: dillons even in his way. And Josh Jacobs looked like

318
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: a shell of himself to me last year. Yeah, we

319
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: only have two backs on the roster, right, we only

320
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: have two backs on the roster.

321
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna start every week.

322
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: They're gonna drive fast though.

323
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, for the back of Jak Dobbins is there if

324
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: you think he's healthy.

325
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: I don't, but I think you will be someday at.

326
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: Some point, hopefully Elijah Mitchell.

327
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: That's one injury away from me in a league winner.

328
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: Ray Davis is available, we take a chance on that.

329
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: Kendry Miller's my favorite. I think he could be the

330
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: opening day starter.

331
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: I think Ray Davis could be the opening Well maybe

332
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: not the opening day starter, but I a.

333
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: True thunder lightning. Yeah, Bill's thing. I have him ranked

334
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: pretty high too.

335
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: I think he gets twelve carries a game out of

336
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: the gate, and what he does with it then depends.

337
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: You know.

338
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: The make or break thing with Davis is if they're like,

339
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: I'm tired of Josh Allen taking punishment.

340
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: The gold line, you'd be the goal line back. Well,

341
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: he's gonna score a.

342
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: Lot of We We got Allen, so we can afford

343
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: to I'm fine with it. We're gonna get Buffalo's rushing

344
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns one way or the other.

345
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I was gonna make a case for Miller

346
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 3: and Lloyd. Some of these young, super young rookie running

347
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: backs so we don't quite know. They usually pay off

348
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: in fantasy. I mean, if you invest in a lot

349
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: of them, you're usually happy about it at the end

350
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: of the year.

351
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: I'm cool with it.

352
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: Which one do you like better?

353
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: Miller's my favorite, but Davis is fine. I just think

354
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: Kamara is not an obstacle and Jamal Williams is.

355
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: Let's let's take Miller. I think we might be able

356
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: to get Davis in the next.

357
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: I think there's a good chance. This is usually about

358
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: this time. I just running back, running back, running back. Yeah,

359
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: I have to like him.

360
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: McLaughlin Dobbins, Herbert Johnson, Elijah Mitchell, Ray Davis is still there.

361
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: I'm cool with Davis.

362
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's jump on the.

363
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: Young running backs or good investments in the mid rounds.

364
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they might not help you early in the season,

365
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: but we don't need anybody to help early seas injuries happen.

366
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: We've got two studs.

367
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have some foresight, you know.

368
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Now you're looking at Roshawn Johnson, Jalen Right, Damian Pierce,

369
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell.

370
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: It might be receiver time now.

371
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, now we get a we have four receivers, right

372
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: because get with Okay, so there's some some decent you

373
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: got Josh Downs.

374
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: Ohm a Downs believer, especially in PPR. Johan Dotson okay,

375
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: vastly under.

376
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: It, Adam Thiel, and Jerry Judy. The Khalil Shakir is there.

377
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: Eh, he's got a good role.

378
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: I kind of like a lot of those guys too.

379
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: I don't have a favorite. It would be Dotson, Shakir

380
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: or Downs. I think he goes Shakir and it's a

381
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: good offense.

382
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: It's good offense. What if he's the one? What if

383
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: he is the one and the Allen hook? He could

384
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: be a worse number two.

385
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 3: You start him and Allen throws him a touchdown, you

386
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 3: win your game. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine with it.

387
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: All right, all right, that's round twelve.

388
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean he might be their best receiver for fantasy.

389
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 2: That's year.

390
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

391
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: How many rounds is this? I believe fifteen or kickers

392
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 3: and defenses.

393
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: Or maybe sixteen round We get fifteen, so we've got

394
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: one more position player to take here.

395
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: We don't have a backup, a backup tight end. You're

396
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: looking who's best available?

397
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: Uh, best available is Hunter? Henry is our top.

398
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: The problem with drafting him is you never just start him.

399
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 3: If you need him, you can just pick someone up

400
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 3: exactly like him, you know what I mean, Like he's

401
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: just a roster clogger.

402
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: If he goes, he probably goes undrafted at this point.

403
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 2: If not, you find someone just like him.

404
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Damian Pierce, Miles Sanders, the.

405
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: Jet Jamian Peerson's get traded to the Cowboys.

406
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: The Jets defense, Josh Downs is still there.

407
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: That might take downs. I'd rather take an extra running

408
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: back in the spot.

409
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison, Jerry Judy, Bucky Irving is there, Kenneth Gainwell Mitchell.

410
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's the start season healthy.

411
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about that one. Yeah, aj Dillon

412
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: is there. I think Down Down Dows are both there.

413
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: Oh, I would take one of those two. Yeah. We

414
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: could have made an argy for him last time. Maybe

415
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 2: a trader receiver.

416
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: I think you take thoughts. I think he has more yeah,

417
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: more defined role.

418
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: People think he took a big step back last year,

419
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: and I don't. I just think he had quarterbacks quarterback

420
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: and no protection, right, all right, Dowson. Yeah, kicker defense,

421
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 3: kicker defense actually ranked defenses.

422
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: I don't feel strong about it, but I just grabbed

423
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: my twelve favorite.

424
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: Defense are still availed. The Steelers, the Bills, the Dolphins,

425
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: the Texans.

426
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 3: Steelers and Texans again I ranked twelve and not putting

427
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: my stamp approval on it. Steelers and Texans were both

428
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 3: my top twelve, the others weren't. Yeah, and then the Bills,

429
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: and let's say Steelers, Steelers, Nation Radio Steelers, why not sacked.

430
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a good defense this year.

431
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 2: I think it'd be really good defense.

432
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got them ranked sixth on here.

433
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: Bills in Miami are high on these lists, and I

434
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: don't quite get it.

435
00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then kicker, you got Kay fair Brown, Jake Moody,

436
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: Evan McPherson, Young.

437
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: Hoku, whatever makes you happy.

438
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean fair Burn is the highest rated guy. That's

439
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: a good offense.

440
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, good weather.

441
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: You have to you know, half your games or indoors,

442
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: actually nine more than half. We got an A plus

443
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: I believe. Well, let's see here. Uh so we get

444
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: end up with Josh Allen, Bejon Robinson, Kenneth Walker. This

445
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: is our starting line, DJ Moore, George Pickens, Kyle Pitts,

446
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: Jayden Reed is our FLEXA Steelers defense, and Kyle fair

447
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: Brown on the bench. We have Jackson Smith and Jig

448
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: but Jayden Daniels, Kendre Miller, Ray Davis, Khalisha, Kiir, Johan Dottson.

449
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: We probably could have taken another running back at something.

450
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're a little light on depth of running.

451
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: We could have played them at flex right, right, But

452
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 3: it's there was It wasn't name, Yeah, this.

453
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: Was anybody there that the running backs were. I bet

454
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: you we had the two best starting running backs.

455
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: We have the best quarterback. Yeah.

456
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: The one thing I'd bet I to do early in

457
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: the season is try to get a stud receiver. Yeah,

458
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: you know, if you get Pat like you mentioned, if

459
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 3: you could get two or three for I don't know,

460
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson or I mean, somebody that's better than DJ Moore,

461
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: then your starters are strong.

462
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: Let's get our free analysis here.

463
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: What do they say, this is fantasy pros doing.

464
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: This is fantasy Prosa.

465
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: Pretty good work. It's pretty cool.

466
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and our analysis of our roster is it's asking

467
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: me to do a whole bunch of stuff here.

468
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 2: They don't know what to remind me later.

469
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: Okay, well I don't want to do that. Well, anyways,

470
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: we had a good draft, I thought, Yeah, it was

471
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: our first one, first one out.

472
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, not mad.

473
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: We don't have our routine down yet, Like, wait around

474
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 3: on him. I love the receivers in round eight, you know,

475
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 3: I mean you start to get that feel of where

476
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: that's why we do.

477
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

478
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: So just to get an idea and hopefully give you

479
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: an idea of.

480
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: What my question or what I'd be curious of is,

481
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 3: what if we didn't take Allen in round two and

482
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: did take a lave. Yeah, we still may end up

483
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: with Jaydon Daniels as our starter, right, you know what

484
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: I mean? And just wonder how the build would have been.

485
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: It just it's weird to take a quarterback super high

486
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: for our first one.

487
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: But he's a stud.

488
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: He is a stud.

489
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: Yeh mean, I have no problem with the player.

490
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah we got Probably if he's not the number one,

491
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: he won't be any worse than third, probably because you

492
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: know he'll run.

493
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 3: He's like, he's like Cam Newton, He's a top three

494
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 3: guy every year he plays. Yes, of course so many touchdowns.

495
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely so.

496
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: But if you told me Jayden Daniels was my starter,

497
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: Like in our league, when we draft and I'm like

498
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: the eleventh guy to take a quarterback, I'm like, I'm

499
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: gonna be stacked somewhere else.

500
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can live with that.

501
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, which we kind of are running back. Yeah yeah. Anyway,

502
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: so let's get to a break. He is the Matt Williamson.

503
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm Dale, allie. You're listening to the Drive here on

504
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. We'll be back with more right after this.

505
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Drive, Dale Lotley. He is the

506
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. And Matt. There's a little, uh little thing

507
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: making each way around Twitter now, little video, and it

508
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson working out with DK Metcalf.

509
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: Oh really, I'm sure they're friends.

510
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're friends. He's throwing him just like thirty

511
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: seconds here, Russell Wilson hitting DK Metcalf down the sideline

512
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: and you know, things of that nature.

513
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: It was a pretty lethal combination. I mean, like, there's

514
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: not many down the sideline, certainly size wise, but deep threats.

515
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 3: And there's not many better guys to throw that ball,

516
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, does that mean they're gonna be

517
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 3: teammates in Pittsburgh. I'm sure everyone's gonna I'm sure that's

518
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: the first next jump, right.

519
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

520
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 2: I don't think so either. I don't think that means that.

521
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: Watching him throw these passes the DK Metcalf, I can't

522
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: help think that would look really good with him throwing

523
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: those to George Pickens.

524
00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely stir the pot. Would you put it off?

525
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: Would you?

526
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 3: I mean, of course, calling Seattle, they're not going to

527
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 3: give you Smith and Jigba lock it. I think you

528
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 3: could get on the cheap, you know, considering his contract

529
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: in his age, what would you give up for Metcalf?

530
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 3: Is he too redundant with pickings? Or do you just

531
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 3: make a strength of strength and have big.

532
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: Bad dudes are really tough to play against.

533
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: Oh man, and they'll block and knock you into next week.

534
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: I mean just size and physicality.

535
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: And my only.

536
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: Video with Metcalf is some of the some of the

537
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: on fields sotricks right right right, Like you, you have

538
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: to keep your temper in check.

539
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: He hurts the team a lot on the field with

540
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: those things. Yeah, now it's not more than he helps

541
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 3: the team. Oh no, you still want him, right of course?

542
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 3: I mean he's still a top twenty player at his position,

543
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: no matter, and there's nobody else quite like him.

544
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: And Tomlins dealt.

545
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 3: With some volatile receivers, Yeah, better than most coaches and

546
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 3: we went back to egos and all these type of

547
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: things with receivers. I don't think he's a bad guy,

548
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: you No, I don't think he's competitive, and let's temper

549
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 3: get him a little bit.

550
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 2: But boy, what he does, he does well.

551
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 3: And I have a hunch hypothetical the Steelers traded for

552
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 3: him and we're at La Trobe and we walked past

553
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 3: him at the cafeteria, be like that's good trade.

554
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: I haven't even seen him play yet. Like he's one

555
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: of those dudes, Like I'll thank him.

556
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, like first guy off the bus.

557
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, like my wife and doesn't know any of these guys

558
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: is picking teams out back, Like I'll take him.

559
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: You know, if I were him, I would never wear

560
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: a shirt.

561
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: Right.

562
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: He is a rare specimen, and that is I can't

563
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: give a first No, that's the problem.

564
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 2: But their cap situation's awful, awful, awful.

565
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: For that's why you might be able to get it.

566
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: Might be again this you know, this staff might not

567
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: see him the same way as Pete Carroll did. He's

568
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 3: making good money and we'll again make good money when

569
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: his contract's up.

570
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: I'll give you two for him.

571
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't even know what his contract is

572
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: right now, but it's undervalued based.

573
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: On it wasn't when he signed it, but now it is.

574
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: I mean, if he was a free agent, he'd make

575
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: more than T Higgins is going to make on the

576
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: open market. Yeah, I mean, these receiver contracts are crazy like.

577
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: So his his base salary this year is thirteen million,

578
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: but he counts twenty four point five against their salary cap. Okay,

579
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: so in terms of real money that he's going to

580
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: get this year, it's thirteen million. That would be the

581
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: Steelers cap hit. Yeah, he is now. He's also signed

582
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: through twenty twenty five. Next year, his base salary is

583
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: eighteen million, his cap hit is twenty nine.

584
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: This is a jump off the bridge when you come

585
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: to it, and a good problem to have. But I

586
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 3: don't want to come to the conclusion where I gotta

587
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: pay him and Pickings.

588
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: The same problem man, the same Probably gonna have not.

589
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: Good choose between the two, or you know, extend him

590
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 3: now or whatever. But if you're extending him now, he's

591
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: not going to do it for thirteen million a year, right,

592
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 3: or it's gonna be thirty. Yeah, I'm about thirty more

593
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: than more than Pittman. Yeah, yeah, which if you're in

594
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: for back. We had this conversation an hour ago, like,

595
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 3: if you're a believer that I'm gonna pay receivers as

596
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: most of the league seems to be, but maybe the

597
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: Steelers aren't. Maybe the Steelers are the Packers say words,

598
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: draft them, draft them, draft them, and let them walk.

599
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 3: I think that's what it comes down to, Like, what's

600
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: your philosophy. I'm paying B plus receivers, not Justin Jefferson,

601
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 3: Like I'm paying Justin Jefferson, but stars. But I could

602
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 3: replace them too.

603
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

604
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 3: If I'm the Seahawks, I might be like I might

605
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: draft a receiver in the second round.

606
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: That's Metcalf of the second round pack.

607
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: Right, you know it went just right before Deontay Johnson.

608
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

609
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 1: Now you brought up Tyler Lockett in the past.

610
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 2: He's cheaper.

611
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: He's cheaper because he restructured his contract this offseason, so

612
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: his base salary is only four point six six million.

613
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 2: He's very attractive to me.

614
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: His base salary next year, when he'll be thirty three,

615
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: is ten million. You're almost like an Alan Robinson.

616
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll get him for a sixth.

617
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: No, you it might be a four, might get it done. Yeah,

618
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: because again he's he's thirty three, he's thirty two years old.

619
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: Now he's declining, but he's declining from a B plus

620
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 3: player to a B minus play. Yeah, he's also not

621
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: huge and physical like he is a route runner. He's

622
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 3: a rout runner.

623
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: He's a movie He's what you don't have.

624
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: He'd be the Deonta.

625
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, at a much cheaper price, I might add, right,

626
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: and you've got Dante Jackson in the deal, right, oh.

627
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and I think he'd be a good influence

628
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 3: on the Roman Wilson's of the world.

629
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: Well, I think he'd be excellent. Yeah, and he's worked

630
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson in the past.

631
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: The reason they keep bring up Seattle, though, is can

632
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: you do me a favorite? Just over the cap there

633
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 3: cap space. It's really bad and their quarterback situation is

634
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 3: not yet set. It's a totally new staff if it's

635
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: not a new GM.

636
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: But they're gonna want to do some things to reshape

637
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: that ross.

638
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's transition year for them.

639
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: Right now. They have eight point four million right now. Yeah,

640
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: under the cap.

641
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: I think next year they're like the worst in the league, though,

642
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five.

643
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: They are right now, they're twenty point four million dollars

644
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: over the cap. Okay, is that near the bottom, Yeah,

645
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: that's four from the bottom. It's the Saints, the Browns

646
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: of forty nine, Ers, the Seahawks, the Dolphins. Then you're

647
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: looking at detections, the Bills and the Ravens. So good

648
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: news Steelers.

649
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, by the way, right, But if you're at

650
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 3: Seattle and you're like, I don't their quarterback situation is

651
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 3: not all that different than the Steelers.

652
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: No, by the way, the Steelers have the third.

653
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 3: Most people don't realize how set the Steelers are going forward.

654
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 3: Even if they were to make a receiver deal, a

655
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: metcalf dealer, that still wouldn't be a drop in the

656
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 3: bucket for next year. But if you're Seattle, Howe's kind

657
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 3: of your fields Gino's a little like your russ Like

658
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: they're older. We know what they are, But am I

659
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: going to extend them or my first round pick next year?

660
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: Quarterback?

661
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: Like fact might need the fact that they redid Lockett's

662
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: contract this offseason.

663
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they have an.

664
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: Out after this year, Like, I think they've made it.

665
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: They restructured it to drop his cap hit for this year.

666
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 3: That's why they have eight million to spat. Right, you

667
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: know it's deals like that. I think that's a team

668
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: you could really talk to.

669
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: But if you could do that, if you're them and

670
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: you can do that and get a pick back, right,

671
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: I think you do it.

672
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: I think that's attractive because if you're the head coach,

673
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: you could have a losing season and you're not going

674
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: to get and Smith the jigma might lead your team

675
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: in receiving if you move on or you know, I

676
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: think they're a team you could easily talk to.

677
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: To me, Lockett would be the more attractive guy right

678
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: now for the price, for the price and for what

679
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: he would help Roman Wilson do as well. And it's

680
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: not you're not and you're not locked into that. And

681
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: to your point with if you make the trad for

682
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: metcalf A, it's probably gonna cost you either a one

683
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: or two, probably.

684
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: The ones off the table for me.

685
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: And you also then have a guy that you're going

686
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: to pay the same year as Pickens.

687
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: I know that's and you can't hard you can't pay

688
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: them both.

689
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: And do you want to trade a high draft pick

690
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: for a guy that you're not going to resign.

691
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, if you were trade.

692
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: For Metcalf, let's say it's a two and a five,

693
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 3: because to me, a one, I can't I can't.

694
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: I can't trade anybody for one. That's the back DAYUK.

695
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: Do you extend Metcalf the day you trade.

696
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: For you almost have to be almost not going to

697
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: be happy, right, yeah?

698
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: Because and that's a lot invested in a guy. I

699
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 3: mean that's almost like the who you've signed and trade.

700
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: You've not been around, You've not you had in your

701
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: room now you.

702
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll hurt you.

703
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: I think you would be counting on Russell Wilson. That's

704
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: a lot. Hey what do you think of this guy?

705
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: And same with Lockett? Yeah, I mean apparently him in

706
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: Metcalf must get along. You saw them thrown together and

707
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: him been Lockett on the field, have had.

708
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: Ben ab like yeah, you know break down.

709
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean you're right right right to a high degree, like.

710
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: A high degree.

711
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I'm sure Russ is going to vouch for

712
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 3: those two guys.

713
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

714
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 3: My one concern with Lockett for the Steelers is I

715
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't love assuming Wilson and Austin would be my three

716
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: and four two, three four all little right.

717
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't love that part.

718
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: But maybe your second round pick next year is a

719
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 3: six four guy, right, you know, but for this year,

720
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: your two, three four would be small.

721
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: You also staw Van Jefferson there, who is a bigger

722
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: guy who?

723
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe he's your two I mean or you're three.

724
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're talking about so Locker. I mean

725
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: my three, three, four five Lockett last year seventy nine

726
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: catchers for eight hundred and ninety four yards, five touchdowns.

727
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

728
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: The year before that was eighty four for one thousand

729
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: and thirty three and nine touchdowns.

730
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: I mean he's been highly productive.

731
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's there. It's there, you know, and

732
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: they just played against them late last season, so going

733
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: to know more about what they thought of those guys.

734
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 3: You give him for a five. I mean that's why

735
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: I come to the table with if I was no

736
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 3: more Cohn. Yeah, we'll give you five. Yeah, you can

737
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 3: get the cap relief. He's not gonna be in your plans.

738
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: You're probably to win the Super Bowls here. He's well

739
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: worth a five to meet for the Steelers.

740
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: Without a doubt. Again, I would go I would go

741
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: up to a four.

742
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: I would say a four, we have a conversation, you know,

743
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: next year four.

744
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, even if it's a Renalds. Maybe maybe it's a

745
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: we'll give you the four, but you gotta give us

746
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: a six, which okay, that's the.

747
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 2: Kind of the going four and a seven for you know,

748
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: yeah for a six.

749
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, just looking at their watchers.

750
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: Those type of deals would all be feasible.

751
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: That would allow them. I know that a lot of

752
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: people out there are big Jake Bobo fans. Yeah, get

753
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: him on, you give them a chance to play him

754
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: a little bit.

755
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

756
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: They got Lavishka Chanalt there as well.

757
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 2: That wild card.

758
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is kind of a wild card. So maybe

759
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: that's something that they get into camp and they say, well,

760
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, we got to get Chanel Bobo more playing time.

761
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: Maybe Lockett's not in our long term plans. Let's move them.

762
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 3: That's the thing is, it's similar to we threw Robinson

763
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 3: out there. Made me think yeah, because I mean, the

764
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: perception of Alan Robinson when the Steelers made the deal

765
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: wasn't that far off Lockett. I think Lockers Lockett's a

766
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 3: better player than the version of Robinson they traded for.

767
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: That's why we're talking about four and a five, not

768
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 3: a late pick swap. I don't think you're gonna get

769
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 3: locke it for I give you a six and you give.

770
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: Me a seven.

771
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 3: I don't think that'll happen, you know, like because you're

772
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: in such cap you know stress, But we can do

773
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: a five in a future fifth or.

774
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: You know, based on production slash playing time.

775
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean there's other options. I'd rather go

776
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 3: down the McLaurin route if he was available.

777
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: Or that's going to cost you more money.

778
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 3: That's gonna cost you more. But yeah, there's there's receiver

779
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 3: options out there still.

780
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: And if and if your receiver room suddenly becomes Pickens, Lockett,

781
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: Wilson's pretty nice. It's not bad.

782
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: Austin Jefferson.

783
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, right, those are five that really that's

784
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: that is probably I mean, it's not quite what they

785
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: have in Seattle right now, but I don't know that

786
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: it's super far off based on.

787
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 3: Now there's not a smith n to jig, but right,

788
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, but I honestly think people I

789
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: think I'm being a homer. I don't think Pickens and

790
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 3: Metcalf are much different. I don't think who I'd rather

791
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 3: have to play on this Sunday. Yeah, you know, and

792
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 3: I think Pickens' best days are still ahead of them.

793
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 3: I don't know the Metcalf has much more of a

794
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: steiling than he's hit. Yeah, I mean he's twenty ceiling.

795
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's twenty six going on twenty seven.

796
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 3: He's a really really good player. I just don't know

797
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 3: there'll be drastically better in a new situation.

798
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to pay him for what

799
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: he's done in Seattle, right.

800
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 3: I mean, if it's a two of five and thirty

801
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 3: million a year, twenty eight a year, you could fee.

802
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 3: I mean the Steelers could handle it. Yeah, I mean

803
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: they can handle that type of cap charge. But the

804
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 3: two is what you don't love about them.

805
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: They also have d escorage out there too, Yeah, who

806
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: they drafted pretty highly?

807
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: And did they draft in one this year too? Uh?

808
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm just laying they have Cody White.

809
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: Maybe not.

810
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: I don't think that they Okay, I thought they might

811
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 3: add a fifth round pick or something of the mix.

812
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: But they've got some guys they've spent some picks on that.

813
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: You know, they need them to play and they need

814
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: to find out what they are.

815
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Lockett you could get for a price

816
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 2: that I would be willing to pay.

817
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I'm with you. I think that is attractive

818
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: to me.

819
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 3: That is attractive, and it fitted well the Wilson things.

820
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 3: An obvious correlation. Yeah, yeah, because I'm saying.

821
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that would be one I would be interested

822
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: in doing. You know again, is he a little undersized? Yeah,

823
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: oh yeah, but he's the same size as Deontay Johnson.

824
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would use them like Deontay.

825
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little more deep threats to him still, yeah,

826
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 3: maybe even a little better with the ball in his hands.

827
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: He was, but I'm not gonna say that because when you.

828
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: Talk about a guy who's almost eight thousand receiving yards

829
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: and over six hundred catches.

830
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a great punt returner. He came in

831
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: the league.

832
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: He scored fifty nine touchdowns in his career like football players. Yeah,

833
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: he is, he is, And I think that's a really

834
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: good I think again, the connection between he Wilson would

835
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: really interesting.

836
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Supposedly.

837
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 3: The high character good addition to the locker room. And

838
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 3: if you go it might be a one year Rentald,

839
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 3: but that's fine. Yeah, and the Capp it's not bad

840
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: at all, No, not at all. For something like that,

841
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 3: but then I could see Seattle one the pick instead. Yeah,

842
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 3: we're gonna line up with the Metal, but they're probably

843
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 3: not going to get that.

844
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: Let's say they do take well, if they take the

845
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: out after this season, you're not going to get anything

846
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: for him.

847
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: Right, And I think that's what they're Yeah. I think

848
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 3: the contract tells you that's their plan. Yeah, and we'll

849
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: use them up for this year, maybe trade them with

850
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 3: trede Y line whatever, you know, because I don't think

851
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 3: they're winning much this year.

852
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,360

873
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 3: this year. You should have done it the last ten years.

874
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: So that first practice, first official practice, Thursday, July twenty fifth,

875
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: that is fine.

876
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 2: That's like one month from now. Yeah. Wow.

877
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: That is from ten thirty am to noon.

878
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 2: So because that's a Thursday, right, that's a Thursday practice.

879
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: That is the same schedule on Friday, and then you

880
00:38:55,040 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: got the Saturday Sunday schedule that weekend is eleven forty

881
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: five sorry, is one fifty five to four pm on.

882
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: The field for both those days.

883
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: So those are the regular schedules that we've got four

884
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: good days right off the bat.

885
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe and that'll be the acclamation period, I believe.

886
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, then they have they're off on that Monday, July

887
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, when they come back. Now you're looking at

888
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: the first damn pads.

889
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 3: So you've explained this to me before, but this is

890
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 3: a team coach Tomlin decision.

891
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: Right.

892
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 3: Can't you like manipulate those practices? Do you want to

893
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 3: get all your acclamation right out of way? Or I

894
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: think the first four practices are acclamation, yeah, and I

895
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 3: think you can do three and then an off one

896
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 3: and then an acclamation like I think he likes to

897
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: come back and hit it hard.

898
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, backs on, backers, everybody's yeah, everybody's nice and rested.

899
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 1: Let's go out and start hitting.

900
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

901
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: So that Tuesday practice then once again is ten thirty

902
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: to twelve fifteen on July.

903
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 2: Thirtieth, that's when you guys should target.

904
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 3: That's that's yeah, there will be a physical, fun attacking practice.

905
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 2: I can guarantee.

906
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, July thirty. First, it's ten thirty to twelve thirty. Okay, again,

907
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: another practice in pads Thursday, August first, ten thirty to

908
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: twelve thirty. That's three in a row, three in a row,

909
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: and then Friday, August second is the night practice. That's

910
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: at seven pm at Latrobe Memorial Stadium.

911
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 3: Again, that one will be in pads. Yeah, so Thursday

912
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: might not be a killer.

913
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: Well, they get the day off on you're off all day.

914
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 3: Long Saturday and Friday. Oh well day yeah, I guess

915
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 3: because the night practice it's a longer break. Interesting, The

916
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 3: night practice is a blast. You guys should consider that.

917
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 3: They'll be packed.

918
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: Then we come back on Saturday, August third. That's a

919
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: one fifty five to four morning one four right, okay. Uh,

920
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: Sunday is a one fifty five to four August fourth.

921
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: Monday's another day off.

922
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 2: August Monday in a row off. Yeah.

923
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: Then they come back on Tuesday and Wednesday, August sixth

924
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: and August seventh, ten thirty to twelve thirty pm.

925
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: It's gotta be preseason time. Thursday.

926
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Thursday August eighth is ten thirty to noon. Friday,

927
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: August ninth, first preseason game.

928
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 2: Okay, So which is a little different.

929
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: Typically you don't have an open practice like that the

930
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: day before a game.

931
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 3: I was about to ask, it seems like it seems

932
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: like usually the day before the game is just no

933
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 3: practice at all right, a walk through, but it's a

934
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 3: home game.

935
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: Rights that's against the Houston Texans, seven o'clock Friday, August

936
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: ninth at seven pm.

937
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 3: Talk about this a ton, but like, is that a

938
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 3: heavy Justin Fields game? Does Wilson play in that game?

939
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 3: I wonder how they handle I.

940
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: Think you play Wilson like maybe a series or two.

941
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious.

942
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: And then it's just ill Yeah a lot.

943
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 2: I don't think Allen gets a ton of snaps in

944
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: the preseason.

945
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: Saturday, August tenth is a player's day off day after

946
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 1: the game, makes sense. Sunday they're back at a August eleventh.

947
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: That is a two fifty five to four through thirty

948
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: PM practice.

949
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: I'd recommend hitting that one, So.

950
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 1: Three pm to four to thirty practice.

951
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 3: If by chance their effort isn't great during the game,

952
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 3: that could be a real physical Yeah. Bang, you practice

953
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 3: after a day off, you know.

954
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: Monday, August twelfth is ten thirty to twelve thirty.

955
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's the first. If you only have Mondays available,

956
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 3: that's maybe you're only one.

957
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: That's the only one. Tuesday is a player's day off, Okay.

958
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: Wednesday ten thirty to twelve thirty and then Thursday, August fifteenth,

959
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: camp breaks.

960
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 3: That's it sounds short, but when you're there every day,

961
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: it's not short for us. No, Like I'm sitting there thinking,

962
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 3: like when why sneak comb? Like there's like two nights

963
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 3: or three nights there, I'll sneak combe. But it's just

964
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 3: for twenty four hours at most, you know, mogelon or

965
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 3: whatever and see the fam and go through that routine.

966
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 3: But okay, I mean, you know if there's only one

967
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 3: preseason game during camp.

968
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that second preseason game comes after they break

969
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: camp on Monday, August twelfth.

970
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: That's a road game.

971
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: No, actually that's too, that's a home against the bill game.

972
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: Then they go to Detroit for their front It's kind

973
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: of a weird schedule this year, as you have your

974
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: first two preseason games are at home and then you

975
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: go on the road.

976
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is public knowledge or if

977
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 3: you know this yet, but aren't they Did they schedule

978
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 3: with another team too?

979
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: No, that has not happened.

980
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: Okay, because I was actually listening to a podcast with

981
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 3: the Colts GM. He's like, we're gonna scrimmage with the

982
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 3: Bengals and they're not we're gonna do we're gonna do

983
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 3: practice practices yet with the Cardinals and Bengals. The Colts

984
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 3: have already announced, So there are some of those around

985
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 3: the league mixed in there too.

986
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

987
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, which if you get wind of that, that's fun

988
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 3: to watch too, for sure. That that's very situational and

989
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 3: they're you know, heavy around the league right now too.

990
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of that stuff happening and being announced.

991
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: But so really when you look at it, you know,

992
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: in terms of practices, like if you can only get

993
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: there on the weekends.

994
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 3: Right, if you have a strange schedule or only Mondays

995
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 3: or only whatever, you better get it set up.

996
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you better make those plans now because around the

997
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:00,399

Speaker 4: I have everyone in the same city and the same

1030
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 4: everybody's there, you know all you know, when you're when

1031
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 4: you're watching ot as in mini camp, you can't You

1032
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 4: can kind of get a little feel for things, but

1033
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 4: you don't get the entire field because they're not hitting

1034
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 4: and they're not tackling them.

1035
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,959
Speaker 3: Not pads or as competitive. You've said this a million

1036
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 3: times judging lineman from OTA can't do man, you can't

1037
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 3: do it.

1038
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: You know, but I could start. I can start to

1039
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: get a better feel for things. I talk to all

1040
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: the coaches.

1041
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 2: I make you hear stuff too.

1042
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: I make a plan every day to talk to an

1043
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: assistant coach about his position or a certain player or

1044
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: things that, just to get a feel for what they're feeling.

1045
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 3: And you're so good at that you can read between

1046
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 3: the lines when they don't tell you things, but they

1047
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 3: tell you things. You know, like not all these rookies

1048
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 3: are gonna get right away. Yeah, you know, boy, this

1049
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 3: guy's ahead a schedule. Or man, we're really impressed with Wilsoner.

1050
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 2: You know.

1051
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is really where you're where you learn

1052
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: a lot about the team, more so than any other

1053
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: time during the season. You're on campus with them. You

1054
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: can pool guys aside and have a one on one

1055
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: conversation with them just about you might even talk football,

1056
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: you might just talk whatever.

1057
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 3: You know, you get the vibes. Yeah, well, I think

1058
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna be a little betteran I thought this year.

1059
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: Or man, this this rookie's really getting it there, this

1060
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: new guy. I really like this guy. I mean, that's

1061
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: how you know. Mike Hilton, Mike Hilton's great El Warren Yeah,

1062
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: these are these are the guys that you know, Mike

1063
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: Hilton got on the radar in the offseason stuff because

1064
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: he was getting his hands on the ball a lot.

1065
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: And then when you got down on the field and

1066
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: watched him continue that and you start to hear if

1067
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: you pay attention to Mike Tomlin, yeah, and what he's watching.

1068
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 2: And unsolicited brings up.

1069
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: You can do that. You have more access to walk

1070
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: around and watch the positions, real things of that nature.

1071
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: And a lot of times what I will do, uh

1072
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: is just follow Tomler around from position group to positions

1073
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: and here, see what he's looking at, See what he's watching.

1074
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 3: Here who he's talking to. So we weren't there, of course,

1075
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 3: But about ten or twelve years ago, the Seattle Seahawks

1076
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: gave this Matt Flynn guy a lot of money and

1077
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 3: drafted this undersized dude at NC State in Wisconsin named

1078
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson. And every report that I read, you read

1079
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 3: from across as the country was hmm. Everything they give

1080
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 3: Wilson he soaks up. And then they put a little

1081
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 3: more in his plate. A little more in his plate.

1082
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 2: That's how it works.

1083
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like trust him just a little bit

1084
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,360

Speaker 1: Through the OTA sessions, You're like, I don't know if

1091

1093
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: OTAs nobody's tackling anybody that's you know. But once they

1094
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: put the pads on.

1095
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 3: Oh, we were doing the drive watching him live, going

1096
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 3: he's better than the other one. Yeah, he's gonna make

1097
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 3: the team. Third practice, we were saying he wasna make

1098
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 3: the game. Yeah, it was obvious.

1099
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 1: It was obvious that he had a little something extra.

1100
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 3: And then oh, by the way, to your point, coaches

1101
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 3: will mention something to you or you know, oh he's

1102
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 3: now he's number two on the depth chart. He's getting

1103
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 3: reps with the ones like, okay, they don't waste reps, folks.

1104
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: No, they only had again, we just went through the schedule.

1105
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: There are only so many before you like there.

1106
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 3: Used to be, and let's get him out there and

1107
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 3: wear them out like they are. They really script the

1108
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 3: reps of every one of these players, especially the quarterbacks,

1109
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 3: but everyone. Yeah, like Spencer Anderson last year was getting

1110
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 3: more and more.

1111
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, perfect here right, they must like they're throwing

1112
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff at this young guy and he

1113
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: is swimming and you and I.

1114
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 2: Could be good evaluators or like, oh he looks good

1115
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 2: in practice, but we don't break down every tape and

1116
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: we're not in the position rooms of what they learn

1117
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 2: and when they ask him questions if they give them

1118
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 2: more reps, they're passing this.

1119
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah that they don't give him more reps because well, man,

1120
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: he's he sucked at left tackle. Let's move in the

1121
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: right tackle. Let's try my guard because he.

1122
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 3: Was bad there right right right, I mean a Dylan

1123
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 3: Cook or a guy like that. If he didn't earn

1124
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 3: more reps, he wouldn't got him.

1125
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, so looking forward to that. Can't wait. Always
