And one of the conundrums 13 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: in this particular draft guys is Shamar Turner. 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: Oh look, you talk about look like Tarzan. I'm not 16 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: saying he plays like Jane, but where's the production. 17 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: But but you know, I think the biggest thing it's 18 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: the scheme that they makes me wonder about that because 19 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: we like, yeah, no, not like because I know, like 20 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: Stewart's up as well, he's one of the other guys 21 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: another Chamar and and uh. 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: And then the skeleton yeah exactly. 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: And it's like but Texas A and And this has 24 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: been my problem with Texas A and M the last 25 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: three years because I've had that, I've had their their annual, 26 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: their annual tryst as I would like to call it 27 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: in at at and t at Jerry's world, right, because 28 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: Jerry's Arkansas alum, and he loves having the Texas A 29 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: and M Arkansas game the old the old what was it, 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: the old Big eight uh conference, you know, reunion type 31 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: of game of those schools. And I watched him because 32 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: you have to remember they had the number one recruiting 33 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: class two years in a row, right, and and these 34 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: were Jimbo guys, and the production never matched the skill set, 35 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: Like you look at the measures, like these guys are 36 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: all like monstars when they walk out, and then you 37 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: watch them play and it's disjointed, like the scheme never 38 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 2: quite fit their capabilities. And I felt like the guys 39 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: were playing out of position when you'd watch them play. 40 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: And even when years they lost to kJ Jefferson in 41 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: Arkansas there and you're like, how that shouldn't happen. That 42 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 2: should not have happened, not with the skill set that 43 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: they have. And listen, kJ Jefferson's was a decent quarterback. 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: He's not great, but he wasn't lightening you up like that. 45 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 2: And all of you are bigger than kJ Jefferson, you 46 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So Texas A and M defensive 47 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: linemen have always been in conundrum. 48 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: And I hate to say that because we have. 49 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: One on our team, but they they don't play up 50 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: to their capabilities. And I think that's what kind of 51 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 2: that's what kind of ruins it for me. And I'm 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: just I'm at odds. I don't like Turner, I don't 53 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: like Stewart and and you know and Scourton, you know, 54 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: to even fit in schemes because I'm like, you have 55 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 2: to teach them so they're automatically projects. And do I 56 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: want a project in the first or second round? No, 57 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: I need a ready made guy, ready. 58 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: To rock and roll. 59 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 2: And so so it just they looked the part. They're 60 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 2: gonna test great because they have all those measures. But 61 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: when it comes to scheming, you watch what looks on 62 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: the field with these times and measurables versus what they 63 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: actually do it. 64 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: They don't give me the warm and fuzzy feelings. 65 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: For a lot of years we've seen that as some 66 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: of the Michigan guys. Yeah, they test really well. And 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: there Sean Gary, Yeah thought of it. When you look 68 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: at the production, he had four career saction college, Like, yeah, 69 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: how's that happen? Yeah. 70 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: I was like like, say, who are you playing? I 71 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: was like, you know, you had Indiana on the roster. 72 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: I know you had like Rutgers. I'm like, you didn't 73 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: get anything. They get their Yeah, yeah, you know what 74 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it's what you weren't playing. And then 75 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: the SEC, Like there are good teams in the SEC, 76 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: but this year everybody was kind of apt. Like everybody 77 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: was in the good category. There was a lot of 78 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: guys in the good There was none of the elites. 79 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: There wasn't the Georgia's of old, There wasn't the Alabamas 80 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: of old that you would see like, oh my god, 81 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: these guys are by far and away the best team 82 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: and they're just gonna win the net. Pencil them in 83 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: as the national champs. Everybody was kind of good, so 84 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: there was room for Texas A and M to grow, 85 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: and Texas A and M happened fell short with Mike 86 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: Elko and them down there. They didn't quite get into 87 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: a rhythm at all. So that's the thing. But I've 88 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: also seen these guys in previous years, right, I saw 89 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: them when they were still with Jimbo, and they were 90 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: all freshmen starting on the You started as a freshman, yeah, 91 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: you should have some numbers. Oh and no numbers to 92 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: even speak of. And Leal's guilty of that as well. 93 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 4: I mean, he was a highly recruited guy, and he's 94 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 4: a little bit of a tween or two, and a 95 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 4: lot of these guys are kind of tweener types. And 96 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 4: like I like Scourton's game. He's a big, physical, probably 97 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: base end, but a Purdue, he was better, He was 98 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 4: more productive, and he was lighter. He I mean, he 99 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 4: added like twenty pounds at A and M. And this 100 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 4: doesn't explode off the ball like he did two years ago. 101 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 4: And I'm fine drafting traits on the D line. It's 102 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: a very Eagles thing to do. Bring him along slow. 103 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: You know, these guys are super explosive, long whatever, but 104 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 4: not in the first round. 105 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: Not in the first round of thing. Milton Williams was 106 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: not a first round four round pick, but he had 107 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: the trades, he had the traits that you want, and 108 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: so fine to go get traits later. 109 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: But like I said, the. 110 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: Top two got the starters already said, and he was 111 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: coming in and he was gonna be a fill in 112 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: guy like you already had Jordan Davis, who was a 113 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 2: mountain of a human being, right, you know what I'm saying. 114 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: Like you went and you drafted the size, and then 115 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: you said, Milton, hey, you're the change up guy. It's 116 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: fine and form just because we're on Shamar Turner. I 117 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: went and pulled up his stats. The only thing that 118 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: I saw that was, like you know, in in that realm, is. 119 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 3: You look at this year thirty six tackles. This is 120 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: the only highlight and Stuart's the. 121 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: One that has nose, no nothing else. I don't even 122 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: want to pull his stuff out. 123 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 4: I get mixed up once in a while, but yeah, exactly, 124 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 4: it's the one that's highly or outed better athlete, less. 125 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: Production, and they have him. 126 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: They have him slay to go in the first round, right, 127 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: going to a couple of teams, you know, but they. 128 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: Have him high especially if he really blows up this week, 129 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: which he probably will. 130 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: He probably will, he'll test great. 131 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 2: But like you said, there's no tangible production, right, And 132 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: so I get that because even when the Saints took 133 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: Marcus Davenport from UTSA, Right, he had stats. Yeah, he 134 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: had like fourteen sacks. Yeah yeah, so it's like, okay, 135 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: but he came from UTSA. It's Conference USA, a smaller school, 136 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: but he had numbers that you could justify it. Stewart 137 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: doesn't have any numbers to justify. And so that's where 138 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: you know, that's where we say this is an inexact science, right, 139 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: and you could find stats to fall in love with anybody. 140 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: That's what the combine's for, is to justify for or 141 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 2: against a guy. And there I'm not even sure where 142 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 2: you line Stewart up every down. I mean, like maybe 143 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: he can do several or none. 144 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 4: I mean he's not really a four to three Nick 145 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: Bosa explode off the ball, you know, beat you on 146 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 4: the edge type guy. And so I trust him to 147 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 4: hold up interior at all. I don't think he doesn't 148 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 4: project like a three four. 149 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 3: And no he does not. He's not a two gapper. 150 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: No, he's a he's a blow up the field and 151 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: he's a space eater. And and the length is great 152 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: if you're trying to tip a pass. Yeah, I'm like, 153 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: because he's not getting close enough the quarterback to sack 154 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: him and even. 155 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 4: Like it's great for tackle radius and all those things too, 156 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: But he doesn't recognize that stuff particularly well. You know, 157 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 4: he doesn't read plays particularly, and he's not a he's 158 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 4: not a hand striker. 159 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: He's a movement guy in space, like he wants to 160 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: do the razzle dazzle on the edge. He's not trying 161 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: to like just blow your face off. He's not coming 162 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: with a power bull rush, yeah, which is what, like 163 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: you said, like a Bosa, Like they're going to hit 164 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: you with a long arm stab and they have that capability. 165 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: I don't think he knows that he has that capability. 166 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: I don't think he knows how long his arms are 167 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: willly ever, who knows. 168 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're taking that in the first round, yeah, 169 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: you know it's it's bud Dupree. 170 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 171 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember watching bud dupre tape and I'm like, 172 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm trying to like this guy, and I see there's 173 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: talent there and obviously tested really well. But then every 174 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: time I turn the tape on, he's he's engaged in 175 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: the ball, the ball's going by him, and then all 176 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden he reacts. All the balls back there 177 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: Jarvis Jones. Yeah, another one. 178 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: Now, he had he had the impassion in college, but 179 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: it didn't translate to the pro level and he just 180 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: flamed out. 181 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: Because athletically he wasn't there. And I think the Steelers 182 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: over compensated with Bud, Like, Okay, this didn't work. We 183 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: took the guy who wasn't the athlete but had the 184 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: production at Sack. Now, let's take the guy who's the athlete, 185 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: and we're going to try to make him. And by 186 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: the end of his career with the Steelers, he finally 187 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: turned into batter, but took it took him three years 188 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: to get there. 189 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you don't have that time. 190 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: You don't have that time. 191 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: You have that luxuries last enough. 192 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: Who's ready and and we're also you know now that 193 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 2: we're shifting focus interior, I don't want a project interior 194 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: guy because a the leader or teacher that I'm going 195 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: to have in cam Heyward ain't gonna be around long 196 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: enough to see you actually meet fruition if I got 197 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: to teach him, and he doesn't have time because he's 198 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: worried about himself, trying to keep himself healthy. He's not 199 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: you know, he'll bring a guy along and push, but 200 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: he's not gonna teach. And that's where I think with 201 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: either one of these guys from tex say, you're gonna 202 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: have to teach them and it's gonna take time, and 203 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: they need to sit behind starters, you know what I'm saying, Like, 204 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: if they go to Philly and you have a chance 205 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: to learn, great, because it's like we got starters, we 206 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: can put it in front of you. But if you're drafting, 207 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: pick your first round, second round, I plan on inserting 208 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: you immediately. Like you're either a third down type of 209 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: guy and you work your way up into a starting rotational. 210 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna in some packages. 211 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: And Carl Dunbar loves to rotate six to seven guys 212 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: in a game. So if you can't make that top 213 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: six to seven rotation early, why do we have you 214 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: Lecause I felt like le Al was going to make 215 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: the jump this year and then he got injured because 216 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: he came in he looked good as far as physically like, 217 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: and I sat there and I talked to him into 218 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: the lunch room and you could see, like, you know, 219 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 2: Demarvin was very careful about how he ate what he's like, Man, 220 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 2: this is what I need to do, you know, trying 221 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 2: to keep myself healthy, you know, you know, worrying about weight, 222 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: and you know, whether they're trying to make me fluctuate 223 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: or not if I stay at this consistent weight. 224 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: I know that had my explosives. 225 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 2: Like we had a long, in depth conversation while we're 226 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 2: waiting for a pasta at the bar at Saint Vincent's. 227 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: But it was like you could see the light clicked 228 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: on for him and then unfortunately it just takes the 229 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: injury and then can't get back on the field. So 230 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: it's like it's like, man, this is one of those 231 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 2: where like you get it, you get it there, and 232 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: you know it's just like like like drag racing, right, 233 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: you know, you get the cars were performing greatest, flaring 234 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: out the engines, got everything going, and then as soon 235 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: as the light turns green, boom, the engine blows up 236 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: on you. 237 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 4: You know, I didn't step on the gas. 238 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 2: It's like, what did I do? But sometimes they're just 239 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 2: misfires and and that's the that's the and that's the 240 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 2: problem we have with lel and Leal should have been 241 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: that guy. He has all those traits you want, but 242 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: it just can't quite get to the finish line. And 243 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 2: so that's the tough thing. So we can't take that 244 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: chance again we've already taken. 245 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: He was also a third round pick. He wasn't a 246 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: first or second, so you had that opportunity. Okay, we 247 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: got you've got our first two round first our guys 248 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: in the first two rounds. Take a chance on a 249 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: guy in the third round who has some traits yeah 250 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: that maybe you can develop. 251 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and helmet scout. 252 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 4: Helmet scouting is dangerous, I mean, and it's usually a mistake, 253 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 4: but also ignoring it can be a mistake too, if 254 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 4: there's enough of a trend while these guys being you. 255 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: Know, Texas offensive tackles. Yeah, right, that was the one 256 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,239 Speaker 2: thing from like two thousand and like seven to like fourteen, 257 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 2: Like you said, you're not helmet scouting, but it's like. 258 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 4: But don't ignore it, don't sit there and draft, don't 259 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: don't you draft that tackle in the first round from 260 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 4: Texas because you are going to be disappointed. 261 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: And they and they followed that, and then of course 262 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: they've now changed that trend. But it was a real thing. 263 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: It was like, don't ignore, don't ignore every other sign 264 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: that every thirty one other teams are doing. 265 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 3: Don't think that you're the exception to the rule. There's 266 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: a reason. 267 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: Why Bills took really early yeah, right, right, and Alabama 268 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 2: offensive lineman right, I mean, if you're looking at you know, 269 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 2: tackles in that like you can go get a guard 270 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: or a center, but if you went to tackle, I 271 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 2: mean Alex Leatherwood, Right, there's a bunch you can name, 272 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 2: and just like yeah, and then running backs, it was 273 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 2: it was a crap shoot. Even even as good as 274 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: the running backs were, like Derek Henry really revived that 275 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: you know, trend for them and mark Ingram. But after that, 276 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: I mean, let's think about the multitude of backs that 277 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 2: came from bat from Bama that were drafted high and 278 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: never did anything, and you wonder they just getting beat 279 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: up more in practice? 280 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: Is it harder for them to get on the field 281 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 4: because it's such a level that I mean, I gotta 282 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 4: work so hard and take such punishment just to get 283 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 4: on the field. 284 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 2: Just to get on the field. And it's log jam there. 285 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: So it's like I have by one year to make 286 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: it happen. But it's like, what did you do and 287 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: how much tread did you tear off in the process. 288 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: Nause obviously was one that was one of those guys 289 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: that was a little bit exceptional because he had a 290 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: split backfield, so he was able to kind of be 291 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: a more premier guy and save himself a little bit. 292 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: But I mean, yeah, it's one of those things you 293 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: look at schools and you have to say, Okay, well, 294 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 2: what's what's the trend here? Why isn't anybody taking these 295 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: guys when they come out. 296 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: Of higher state wide receivers trends? 297 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 3: Y way? 298 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, just give me one quarterbacks for decades. 299 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and even still we're still waiting for it to 300 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: r cume over. You know, we'll see if Justin Fields 301 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: can break that curse. Really, but yeah, that's another one 302 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: Ohio state quarterbacks you know, for how many I mean 303 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: whole light years, Yeah, exactly. I haven't seen one. Kirk 304 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: Herb Street, Hey didn't make it. 305 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: For the longest time. It was just big ten quarterbacks 306 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: in general. Yeah, they just turn they didn't crack out 307 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: a ton of Yeah. 308 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: Kerry Collins, Kerry. 309 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: Collins was like the best one for over like a 310 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: twenty five year period, Like just they just didn't translate. 311 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: You know. Brady obviously changed all of that and he was. 312 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: A sixth rounder though yeah, it wasn't a first round 313 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: he was not a first round guy. But Henson didn't hit. 314 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: He was the star. 315 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, right exactly.

Well, 336 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: and that's why you say there's no jailing carters in 337 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: here exactly. There definitely is not. But but you know, 338 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: can you find the Kobe Turners. Can you find the 339 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: youngs of the world, you know that are like, okay, 340 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: they're developmental. I could talk them into it, because there's 341 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: traits that we need specifically that fit our scheme right. 342 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: And it's like, listen, I'm not going to ask you 343 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: to do everything that. Oh miss you. You were asked 344 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: to do everything right because you were that interior guy 345 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: that we need to display, right, Yeah, exactly, we needed 346 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: you to make the splash every time to get everybody 347 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: else going here. 348 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: You just need to fit in and do your role 349 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: and do your role consistently. Why to me, I look 350 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: at the trait that I want from those defensive linemen 351 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: is a motor. Yes, that's what I saw with like 352 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: Braiden Fish last year. 353 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: Yep. 354 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: Just give me the motor and I'll teach him. Teach 355 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: him the technique. But he better have the motor because 356 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: if you don't have the motor that raised all the 357 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: technique in the world doesn't it doesn't help you. I 358 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: do think the motor raises the floor. 359 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. It raises the floor, gives you more 360 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 2: of an opportunity to kind of work with that, because 361 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: I would rather, you know, I go back to this. 362 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 3: I'd rather have the Tasmanian devil. 363 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: Right. 364 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, I I just need you 365 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 2: to go mess things up because at. 366 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: Exactly Ty Robinson from Nebraska, Yeah, yes, just go break 367 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: some stuff. 368 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Army, yeah exactly. It's like listen, you know 369 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: he's a Marine Corps. It's like listen, j head. We 370 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: need you to go in and just just mess it 371 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: up for everybody, break. 372 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: Things and and then get back to the that's it, 373 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: break it, don't buy it. 374 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: So but I mean, but that, but that's like you 375 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: said that that raises the floor and gives you a 376 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 2: leg up. And I think there's plenty of guys that 377 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 2: do that. But like you said, when you look at 378 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: certain school and you look at the trades, and you 379 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: have three guys in this draft, I need want of 380 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: you to be a production guy because one of the 381 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 2: what are we doing? And you don't have that. 382 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: And so it's not even like you could say, well, 383 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: like in years past with some of the Georgia guys, 384 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: well he didn't have a lot of sacks because other 385 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: guys were getting there, yes, or they're sitting the whole four. 386 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: Nobody had any nobody. It was like the three of 387 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: you came in and none of y'all did anything because, 388 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: like you said, you could. 389 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: You can look at a Nolan Smith like, okay, well 390 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 2: you know, Jalen Carter didn't get numbers because Noel Smith 391 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 2: beat him there, you know what I'm saying. And Jordan 392 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: Davis was in front of Jalen Carter the year before, 393 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 2: so that's why he didn't get any status. 394 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: You know. 395 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: You can look at Trayvon Walker right everywhere. That's where 396 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: you're like, well it doesn't hurt playing that like Ohio 397 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: state wide receivers. I got to pick one of these 398 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: guys because they all got the trade. They just one 399 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: got there quicker than the other. Yeah. So you can 400 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: look at a culmination and they're the number one defense 401 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: you know in the league text A and M wasn't. 402 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: That wasn't. 403 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: He was middle of the league at best. And these 404 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: are three guys that did not get at those stats. 405 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: So where do those stats go on? Underclasses? They are 406 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 2: still there. I'll wait till next year. Then I gotta have. 407 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 4: A pretty good firm confidence in my D line coach 408 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 4: if I'm taking those guys too. 409 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's hard to develop players and that's what 410 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: it comes down to. And then you say, do I 411 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: have the capability to give this guy the attention he's 412 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 2: going to need. You know what type of coach am I? 413 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: And I look at that and it takes a special team. 414 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: I mean, like Philly is one of those exceptions. Because 415 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: they've stockpiled so many guys. I can spend more time 416 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 2: with him because I don't have to tell Jalen Carter, 417 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: Jordan Davis what to do. They got a lot of 418 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 2: money in the bank. Yeah, yeah, they've got I don't 419 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: have to tell Josh what what to do, right, So 420 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 2: I can now focus on you guys and build you 421 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: guys because they're gonna self regulate themselves, just like our 422 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: Steelers teams in the past when I played on him, Like, 423 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 2: you didn't have to tell Aaron Smith you know what 424 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 2: to do? You have to tell Casey Hampton what to do. 425 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 2: So I can now focus on building Brett Keesel up right, 426 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 2: you know. And I got a Chemo von Ohoffen in 427 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 2: front of him anyways, So and Keimo has been there forever. 428 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 2: He's he's older, than time. At this time, what am 429 00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: I going to tell Chimo that he hasn't already seen? 430 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 2: Right as John Mitchell. So now I can really hammer 431 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 2: in the technique. And that's what made Mitch so great 432 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 2: was that he took these young guys, he broke them down, 433 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: He broke them down, and he built them back up 434 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: completely breaked out. He broke me down and I wasn't 435 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 2: even in his group, you know what I'm saying? And 436 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 2: uh so funny sidebar real fast. I remember the one 437 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,239 Speaker 2: year they asked me to go play D line when 438 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: I was with the Steelers and that was like my 439 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 2: fourth year in the league and they're like, hey, you're 440 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: gonna play goal line in short yardis defense. I was like, really, okay, 441 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 2: all right, sure, I mean I'm not. I'm not. 442 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 3: I lost my starting job, so okay, I guess. 443 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: You know, the more you can do what you can do, right, 444 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 2: Remember that phrase, malle oh God, So I go into 445 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: the d big Hey, John Henderson, Marcus Stroud, Albert Max Starting. 446 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 3: Same thing came from SCR. 447 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 2: You're good and so I remember that first meeting and 448 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: it's just like, what are you doing in here? I 449 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 2: bet they told me to be in here. I can't 450 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 2: I can't deal with this coach. I'm just here for 451 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 2: sure yards and uh and defense. And then I was 452 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 2: on field goal block that makes sense. So he was like, 453 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: all right, well, sit you as back you know what 454 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: I'm saying.

You're gonna swing 486 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 2: your butt around into into the outside guy, and then 487 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: you're gonna step your foot through. I was like, what 488 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 2: this is not? Do you see how tall I am. 489 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take out the whole right side of the 490 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: line with my butt cheecken and a thigh. I'm like, 491 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: you know, I'm like you have to be a little 492 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: more technical. And I just remember going through that. But 493 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 2: and then Mitch came over. He's like, hey, different when 494 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: he does when it exactly I was, I was like, 495 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 2: you can do that. 496 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 3: I was like, this is not for me. And so 497 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 3: Mitch watched it for like a. 498 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 2: Couple of He's like, all right, Stark starts listen, you're 499 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: messing it up. Of course he used a word yes, 500 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: another four words colorful. 501 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. 502 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 2: Flowers is the is the lead letter on that one. 503 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: So we get into the drill and he's like, all right, 504 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: the first thing he needs to do is just drop 505 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 2: the knee and then reverse shoulder into the guy, because 506 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: you're not gonna be able to swing your hip around right. 507 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: It's like once again the truck making the wide right turn. 508 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: Like the time you do it, they've already collapsed your hip. 509 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: So for you, you're gonna have to drop the knee 510 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: and then throw the shoulder into it while extending your 511 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 2: arms because you have longer arms. So he just he 512 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 2: taught me that, and it was just like you're gonna 513 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: do I'm gonna do it different than Hoky, so you know, 514 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: why did you send me with Hoki in the first place. 515 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: But he was dealing with other guys at that time, 516 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 2: so I realize that now. But he but I mean, 517 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 2: but he made it so simple. But when you have 518 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 2: a coach that has the time to be able to 519 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 2: I mean he came over. It's like a mechanic that's 520 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: been working for thirty years and you got the first 521 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 2: year mechanics straight out straight out of school. It's like, oh, 522 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: well I have to do this, I have to take this, 523 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 2: and he's like, ah, don't worry about this, like boom, boom, boom, 524 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: you're still there. Look at that all right, now, keep 525 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: doing that thing and then walks off right, you know. 526 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 2: So it was just it was but you know, you 527 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: don't have that time now in this league. 528 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, the way. 529 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 2: The PA has structured, you know, with ellective bargaining, there's 530 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: not a lot of practice time on the field with 531 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: the coaches like, well you do the OTAs you know, 532 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: it's two hours and they're they're with the timer looking 533 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 2: at you. So if you want to do anything extra afterwards, 534 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 2: like after practice, I could pull Russ aside, you know 535 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 2: and say hey, Russ, you know I want to work 536 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 2: on this, let me see you do it. They'd spend 537 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: time with you. You know, players stayed on the field 538 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: a long amount of time, like we see a training 539 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: camp like some guys do it. Yeah, but this was 540 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: regular season. We were able to still do these type 541 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 2: of things. You don't see that in the regular season. 542 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 2: Guys are just getting off the field and there's not 543 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 2: that intent to learn the extra and then the veterans 544 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 2: aren't necessarily there. Like I mean, I had Marvel Smith, 545 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 2: and you know, I tried to learn Marvel's stance, which 546 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 2: was the biggest mistake of my life because the amount 547 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 2: of low body, lower back and lower body strength you 548 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 2: have to have to hold that stance was ridiculous. But 549 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 2: he had a band around his waist, he had a 550 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 2: band on his elbow, he had a band on his knee, 551 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 2: and he was doing all of these like isometric holes. 552 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: And I was like, no, it's not gonna work for me. 553 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 2: It's not gonna work for me. It's great for you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 554 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 2: but that's not gonna work. But I had the chance 555 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 2: to talk to him, and then, you know, and then 556 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 2: I talked to Alan after practice because Alan's doing extra 557 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 2: work and guys are just intent. Jeff, Jeff was taking 558 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of snaps. And Jeff wasn't wasn't a powerlift. 559 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: He was a powerlifter at Penn State in early years 560 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: when he was in Detroit. By the time he got 561 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 2: to the Steelers, he was a yoga master. You know 562 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like he worked on. All he worked 563 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 2: on was flexibility. He wanted to have a lower hogor Yeah, 564 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: he knew he had the power, so it was like 565 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 2: developing that power from a more tight state. And so 566 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 2: he would do fifty to you know, fifty to seventy 567 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 2: five snaps after practice so that I don't see that here, 568 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying now, because there's not a 569 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: time to teach. It's like we got we gotta get 570 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: the means. I gotta go watch film. I gotta break 571 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: down film. Then we have only forty five minute film session. Okay, 572 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: we get to that. Then the team has to have 573 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 2: to me boom boom boom days over and I can't 574 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: touch you a second time on the field, right, you know, 575 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: And that's why you had you know, we saw during camp, 576 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: right Russes on the field with a running back group 577 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 2: trying to go through stuff with them and they're by 578 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 2: themselves on the field, or he's with the wide receivers 579 00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 2: that he's talking about, Like you have to do it 580 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 2: on your own and there's not enough older leaders to 581 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 2: do that. That's tough. Yeah, and even back there, I 582 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 2: know we need a roll. 583 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 4: But like after like Shamar Stewart, don't count ask. 584 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: Him to go with Chris Hoak. 585 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, like if someone like him draft him and maybe 586 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 4: he can learn from that guy, that's similar. 587 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 1: But you know, square peg round ole.

Some news and notes today. John Lynch, 601 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: a Steeler or the forty nine Ers general manager saying 602 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: that Trent Williams expecting to come back and play next 603 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: year about what thirty eight. 604 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 2: I would say, real close to that were in that neighborhood, right. 605 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: So I guess, you know, the forty nine Ers would 606 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: take left tackle out of the equation. 607 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 4: Perhaps, I guess the future left tackle they still take one. Yeah, yeah, 608 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 4: guard turned left tackle in a year. 609 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, let him train for a year under Trent Williams. 610 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: And he said they're they're going to honor Deebo Samuel's 611 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: request for a trade. That's two big ones that that 612 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,479 Speaker 1: are going to take place here, as Max starks as 613 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: Beck with his forty nine Ers saying today Trent Williams 614 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: expected back next year and they're going to honor Deebo 615 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: Samuel's trade request. 616 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 4: Okay, I didn't see that coming with Williams. I mean, 617 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 4: he had some off the field personal tragedy. I thought 618 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 4: that might be perfect time to kind of walk away 619 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 4: from the game. He's an all time great. I mean, 620 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 4: he's a phenomenal football player. But I thought this past 621 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 4: year was it's probably you know, the first signs of 622 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 4: decline and pretty heavy at this point too. And but 623 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 4: they're still looking at this like its super winter. 624 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 2: You know, skips. 625 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: He doesn't do anything in training campaign. 626 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 3: He just he just shows up in season ready to go. Yeah. 627 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 2: And I mean and like you said, I mean he's 628 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 2: an all time great. I mean when you put him 629 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: on that list, I mean, he's another guy, first ballot 630 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 2: Hall of Famer when he becomes available, easy decision. But 631 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 2: like you said, when is time time and the amount 632 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 2: of money it's starting to starting to show. And and 633 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 2: like you said, you have so many other needs at 634 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 2: San Francisco. You know, after the year that you had that, 635 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 2: It's like if you do free up money, you know 636 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 2: that can go towards allocating somebody else. Now, granted, I 637 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 2: know there's no Trent Williams in this draft that's gonna 638 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: be a transcendent. 639 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 3: Tackle, But you can still find a good tackle in. 640 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: This wouldn't be a bad idea to take one and 641 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: have him learned for a year under Trent was the 642 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: right side or guard or whatever. 643 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, because you got you got what 644 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 2: Colt mckivitz is the other guy on the right and. 645 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 4: And pooney they like the rookie guard. But yeah, there's 646 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 4: room for a guard to spend there spend a year 647 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 4: and then kick. 648 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: Back out the left and there's room, there's room for improvement. 649 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: Like you like this is the moments where you don't 650 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 2: want to sit there and say, Okay, just because I 651 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 2: have this guy means I can't I avoid the position, 652 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 2: set it and forget it right, like the crock pot, 653 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 2: You've got to have the next guy there. 654 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 3: I mean. 655 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: And one of the things that a good team like 656 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: San Francisco, I'm sure John Lynch is looking at this 657 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 2: is you know you want to stockpile talent. You don't 658 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: because I mean, the cupboard gets bare. It's what the 659 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: Steelers are trying to do. Yeah, omark On talked about 660 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 2: it yesterday. 661 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: You want to just continue to try to add to 662 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: your team. 663 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we and we did that even back when 664 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 2: I played right. I mean, you know, you took me 665 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 2: in the third round and oh four. Then you came 666 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 2: to tree Essex the follow year, the third round, you 667 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 2: took Willie in the fourth round, you took Tony Hills. 668 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: Right. 669 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 2: You added tackles every single year like one of them 670 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 2: was gonna hit. And then you remember it was Marcus Gilbert, 671 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: it was Mike Adams. Like we kept taking tackles in 672 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 2: the first two days too. We're like, okay, we got 673 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: some guys that we feel comfortable with. And then, of course, 674 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 2: you know, Kelvin Beacham was another guy you took when 675 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 2: you win the Dave the Castro year. You went and said, hey, 676 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: well we went and got to guard high, but let's 677 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 2: go at least get a developmental guy that could probably 678 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: swing on the inside, play four different positions potentially. 679 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: Actually, you know, fourteen years later, he's still playing. He's 680 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: still playing. I mean, gosh, I mean, you know, and. 681 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 2: We talked about beaching and I love Kelvin, but it's like, 682 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 2: you have to continually do that, and I think and. 683 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 4: The Sailors didn't for a long time before taking Roderick Jones. 684 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, they paid for it for a while. 685 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you saw that, and then of course, you know, 686 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 2: letting guys go like Finny left right, you know, and 687 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: you had I'm trying like yeah, Herbert, Yeah, And so 688 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 2: you let those guys go, and those guys are still 689 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 2: in the league, you know what I'm saying. But you know, 690 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 2: you have to be able to address offensive defensive line 691 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 2: kind of consistently. 692 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 3: You got to take them every. 693 00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: Year and say, well, one of them are going to 694 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: stick over these and at least if we finally get 695 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: that guy, we know that we can plug and play. 696 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: When you do have a Trent Williams type retire, we 697 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: have somebody slid in there. But they focused on every 698 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 2: other position over the last couple years, and now now 699 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 2: you're in a position where he's like, we're kind of stuck. 700 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk Deebo Samuel real quick. He's going to 701 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: be available. 702 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 4: From what I understand, trading him is really rough on 703 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 4: their cap and I done have the contract stuff in 704 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 4: front of me, But I think he's gonna get cut, 705 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 4: is how I implied that. And I'm sure if they 706 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 4: could get a pick out of him, they'd love it. 707 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 4: But I don't know that the cap ramifications are. 708 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: It was a three year, seventy one and a half 709 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: million dollars deal that he's signed just a couple of 710 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: years ago. His cap hit this year is fifteen to eight. 711 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: If they get rid of him, his base seller is 712 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: only one point. 713 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: So I think. 714 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: Very attractive the new team. I'm not seeing dead money here. 715 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: If they, I guess, look at a different. 716 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 4: Uh Max, would you be interested in him putting Opsta Pickens, 717 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 4: depending you know, depending on costs and all that. I mean, 718 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 4: just on the field what you've seen from him. I 719 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 4: had mixed feelings about him. 720 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: I do too, because I mean because Deebo's a guy 721 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: like he's not caught away and he's and he's taking 722 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 2: a lot of snaps. Yeah, and so where I think 723 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 2: about it, I look at Deebo almost in the Corderio. 724 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 3: Patterson range, right, Yeah, I mean you have it's a 725 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 3: much better version. 726 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 2: He's a better version, but he's taking the similar type 727 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: of pet where he's in the backfield, he's also in 728 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 2: the slot. He's he's your jet motion guy. He's also 729 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: a lineup receiver. Like there, he has a lot of capabilities, 730 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 2: and it's more like a jack of all trades, master 731 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: of none type of situation. 732 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: And do we really want that. 733 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if that necessarily pairs well opposite George Pickens. 734 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 2: I don't think he gets the same type of respect 735 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: that a Brandon Ayuk would have gotten on the edge 736 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 2: if you line him up and you still he's the 737 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 2: pure ute runner. 738 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 3: Deebos not a trick guy, but he's gimmicky. 739 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: It's one and a half million dollar cap hit if 740 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: they trade or release him before June first. 741 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 2: That's my thought. I thought it almost doesn't make any sense. 742 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: Post June first, the would be able to split that 743 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: up over over a couple of years, and so they 744 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: get a little bit of a cap savings this year. Yeah, 745 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: they may, you may up being a post June first 746 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: designation and just I think that's what happened. I think 747 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: they would love to trade him. 748 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, they would love to trade, but like you said 749 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,479 Speaker 2: that that number, they're not They're not trading him before that. 750 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 3: It's not cost effective. 751 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 2: So getting a Deebo Samuel in June and you're pretty 752 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: much got training camp to work with him. 753 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: Well, they could release him today and designate him they could, 754 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: which I think Yeah. 755 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: Hargrave, Yeah, okay, Hardgrave has the same situation. 756 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 2: I think that's what will happen. He'll be on the 757 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 2: open market. 758 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: But then that means next year they're eating more, oh right, 759 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and they're in they're in a bind 760 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: right now because of the whole party situation. Yeah, what 761 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: do they pay Rock Party? And that's that's gonna be 762 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: a question, right. Mister irrelevant becomes very relevant after a 763 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: couple of years. 764 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 4: Ago, cheap anymore.

They're not deep. 805 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean, and you think about that showed to be 806 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: the case this year right at the are some of 807 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: those guys You get to lose your top heavy dudes, 808 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: and then it gets ugly and you're picking. 809 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 2: Up Drey Greenlaw never really kind of fully recover from 810 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 2: the injury he had, you know, in Super Bowl, and 811 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: so you're like, well, we got to go get the 812 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 2: linebacker two just in case because Fred Warner has been great. 813 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: But you know, Fred has taken a lot of brunt 814 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 2: because of the lack of green law. So now you know, 815 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 2: and green laws up this year. Hofana's up this year. 816 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 2: Ward's up this year. So they're losing three starters in 817 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 2: the back seven too, you know. Yeah, so their needs 818 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: are plentiful. They're plentiful, So you got to try and 819 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 2: cut where you can. And you don't want to say 820 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 2: it's it's throw it out and start over again. But 821 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 2: but Debo's gonna go, Yeah, Deebo's Deebo's gone, yeah, because 822 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 2: he doesn't he doesn't bring enough to the table. They 823 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 2: drafted Pier in the first round and right, and this 824 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 2: dude came back after being shot and was productive. 825 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: He need to get shot in Denver? 826 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he was in San Francisco outright. 827 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: They shot me in Denver, Yeah, they shot. Oh god, 828 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,959 Speaker 1: let's get to another break because I want to talk 829 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,760 Speaker 1: about and when we come back, some of these wide 830 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: receivers in this draft and where you know the Steelers 831 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: might go with that when we come back. He is 832 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: Max uh Starts, I'm Dale Lollie and he is Matt Williamson. 833 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: And you're listening to the Drive here on Steelers Nation 834 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: Radio and Fox Sports Pittsburgh. We'll be back with more 835 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: live from the NFL Scouting Combine right after. 836 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 2: This, and we are back. 837 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: I am Dale Lolly here with Max Starks and Matt 838 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: Williamson at the NFL Scouting Combine here in Indianapolis on 839 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio and the Fox Sports Pittsburgh. And guys 840 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: were talking a little wide receiver there with with Deebo Samuel. 841 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: And my thing is, Max, if you needed a Deebo 842 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: Samuel type player, you can just draft Luthor Burden. 843 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and. 844 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 2: Then nowhere and tear and you know he's fresher in 845 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 2: it and you can mold him into what you want 846 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 2: as opposed to trying to get rid of some of 847 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 2: the bad hands. 848 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: You got a lot of the same run after the catchability. Yeah, 849 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: you know if you turn But that's the problem that 850 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 1: I have with Luthor Burden is like when I turn 851 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: on Missouri tape, like seventy five percent of his stuff 852 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: is he's catching something in the flat and just there 853 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: it's a screen. It's a bubble screen. It's five yards 854 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: and turn around and catch the ball and try to 855 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 1: get something after the catch. You just don't see enough 856 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,359 Speaker 1: down the field stuff to even like can he run routes? 857 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 3: I don't know. 858 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and also the other problem is Missouri's offensive line. 859 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 2: Yeah well, and their quarterback he got injured. Remember after 860 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,479 Speaker 2: like the third week of the season, and they brought 861 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 2: the backup in and he didn't know which way was up. 862 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 2: And then you had the quarterback come back early from 863 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 2: injury and he was I mean, he had a lot 864 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 2: of dead army. It was a terrible year from a 865 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 2: zoo from that perpeci. So it was like, we just 866 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 2: got to get the ball in Luther Burton's hand. I 867 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 2: think that's something that you kind of still stick to 868 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 2: because if you go back two years ago, that's where 869 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 2: you get the vertical stuff. Yeah, you know, the offensive 870 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 2: line was a little bit better, that better protects and 871 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 2: that was a year that Eli Drinkwitz and that crew 872 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 2: was actually vying for for a for a conference title position, 873 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 2: you know, back when we still had conference when we 874 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 2: had divisions. Now it's just top two, you know, in 875 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 2: the big sit in the Big twenty Conference, which is 876 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 2: used to be the Big ten, and the SEC is 877 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 2: just the s C, the Southern car because we got 878 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 2: everybody in the South. It seems like so you know, 879 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 2: so I think that was where you you kind of 880 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 2: have to go deeper dive and look at two years 881 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 2: ago film and you thought he was coming out then, 882 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 2: and he stays for the additional year because he wants 883 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 2: to try and play. It did not help him. And 884 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 2: that's also where staying extra year might not help you. 885 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 2: Sure you know what I'm saying, where it's really his fault. Yeah, yeah, 886 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 2: he thought and he thought he was getting his quarterback back. 887 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 2: It's like, hey, we're gonna build off what we had, 888 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 2: let's run it back one more time, right the boys 889 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 2: in the band. And it didn't work out. So that's 890 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 2: what's going to cause him. I think a little bit 891 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 2: of a dip and slide. But this is where the 892 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 2: combine is gonna really help for him, to help him 893 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 2: quite a bit. I just wish there were more quarterbacks throwing. 894 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,760 Speaker 2: We have so many quarterbacks to say they are throwing. 895 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 2: You know, how tired are the arms of the quarterbacks 896 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 2: by the time they get to these guys. Again. Now 897 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 2: he is in group one of the QB wide receiver 898 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 2: combos that will be doing on the field workouts together. 899 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 4: So his how many quarterbacks of I know Sanders opted out, 900 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 4: but who who else? 901 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 2: Cam opted out as well? And I'm trying to think 902 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 2: I'm looking. 903 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 1: At I didn't see the news other than Sanders. 904 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, but here's his quarterbacks that are 905 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 2: in Luther Burdens group, Will Howard, Seth Henigan, Dylan Gabriel Quinn, Yours, 906 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,720 Speaker 2: Jackson Dart, Brady Cook, and Max Brosmer. Okay, that should 907 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 2: be plenty. There should be plenty of arms. But I 908 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 2: think I'm hoping that Dart throws. I mean I heard 909 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 2: some rumors that he might not throw either. So now 910 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 2: you know Brady Cook was his quarterback at MISSOO, but 911 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 2: Brady was injured, so there is familiarity there. Yeah, yeah, 912 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 2: or you wonder if you know they're they're the type 913 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 2: that's going to be like, well, you know, we'll let 914 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 2: our school workouts be the time when we really showcase ourselves. 915 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 2: Because I think Brady I don't think. I don't think 916 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 2: he might be healthy enough to throw here. And if 917 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 2: I'm Burden's camp. I want him running a variety of routes. 918 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 2: You know, he's got to run the entire route tree. 919 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 920 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 2: No, I need to see go I need to see 921 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 2: double moves. I need to see comebacks and stick right 922 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 2: square outs. I mean I need to see everything in 923 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 2: the book. And especially with his size, You're like, you 924 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 2: have to be able to go across the middle. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 925 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 2: I need to see across the middle stuff so you know, 926 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 2: shallow dragon goes right. I need to see these type 927 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 2: of different move sets so I can get so I 928 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 2: can feel better about. 929 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 4: It because he has the even the the gauntlet stuff, 930 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 4: and I mean I think it's a little more important 931 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 4: for him than most receivers just because us his past year. 932 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, because it was not a representation of him. 933 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 2: So he has to get back to two years ago 934 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 2: status to really make that He's still a guy that's intriguing, right. 935 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 2: I mean, like you said, if I'm thinking about Deebo Samuel, 936 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 2: I need to take a second look at Luther. 937 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 4: Burton if you have a role for that guy. And 938 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,919 Speaker 4: Arthur Spencer has shown he could use that guy. 939 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 2: He even uses a Matterson And I mean I was like, 940 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 2: he's stuck with the Corderio Patterson, even though we didn't 941 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 2: really see him line up at receiver at all eighty 942 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 2: four in the backfield again, yeah, exactly so. But you know, 943 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 2: but I mean thinking about the other guys in this class, 944 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 2: and I have my but they are going to add 945 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 2: a veteran I mean it is, I mean, but they're 946 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,760 Speaker 2: going to add a better somebody. Yeah, and like you said, 947 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 2: soon if it's for one point was at one point 948 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 2: five or one point one one point? Yeah, I'm like 949 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 2: that's a no brainer.

So it's like I could see 982 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 2: that guy, you know what I'm saying, fitting into this. 983 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: These are these are first round guys. Yeah much, I 984 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: mean we're talking about taking the defensive lineman in the 985 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: first round. 986 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 2: No, and I think I would say if But see 987 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 2: my thing is, I think a Mecca may Or may 988 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 2: not be in the first round. 989 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 3: I mean I think he might I don't think he 990 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 3: gets a Steeler second. 991 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: He won't get the second. 992 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 2: But I think that's where we have to try and 993 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 2: move up in the second day. If he's there, you 994 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 2: got to get up into that. That would be one 995 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 2: where I'd be if I had a lineman locked up. 996 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 2: And yeah, I already took my twenty one. We're good. 997 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 2: I got the D line I said I was gonna get, 998 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 2: and then I can go back in the third round 999 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 2: and go get one as well. Second round. If I'm 1000 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 2: looking at a receiver, I think you have him. You 1001 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 2: have like a Jack Besh, you know you have Chimiriri 1002 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,919 Speaker 2: DK you like you have some guys that are gonna 1003 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 2: be in that second day or kind of fall through 1004 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 2: the cracks into day two. And those are guys I'm 1005 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 2: kind of looking at like that because I think a 1006 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 2: book like you said, I like him, but I'm not 1007 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 2: sold on it. Is he a number one? 1008 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 1: I think he's a high quality too. 1009 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 2: Yes, isn't a knock. 1010 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,320 Speaker 1: There's a lot of those guys. 1011 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 2: And yeah, and that's why I think this draft is heavy. 1012 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 2: So I don't think there's gonna be a run on 1013 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 2: wide receivers this year. 1014 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: No, I think it should be the lightest receiver year 1015 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: in h. 1016 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 2: So that's why I think second round like you're gonna 1017 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 2: get one or two that will jump out there. 1018 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: But I also think that's why some of these other guys, 1019 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: you know Golden and Matthew Golden's another on my list, 1020 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,839 Speaker 1: end up getting pushed into that first round because there's 1021 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: teams that need wide receivers and. 1022 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,479 Speaker 2: Actually a lot of the playoff teams. 1023 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know you're just gonna you're just gonna 1024 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,280 Speaker 1: take them. The Kansas City Chiefs are thirty one, need one. 1025 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 4: The Ravens, well, yeah, absolute, the Chargers and so. 1026 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 2: And when I look at this, I'm thinking, like an 1027 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 2: Elijah Basher is gonna be a guy that's gonna be 1028 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,839 Speaker 2: popular amongst it because he has the production, he has 1029 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,760 Speaker 2: the skill set. You know, I'm gonna I'm just gonna 1030 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 2: run through some of the stats here as soon as 1031 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 2: I get down there we go. So, you know, Elijah 1032 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 2: Basher right second in fbs and yards after the catch 1033 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 2: twenty point seven, right, I think that's gonna be attractive, 1034 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 2: especially when you're thinking about Kansas City. 1035 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 3: You're thinking about the. 1036 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 2: Like I need somebody that can do something after the 1037 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 2: yack ability you know, Ted McMillan is already I feel 1038 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 2: like gonna be one of the top receivers taking Yeah, 1039 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 2: he's not gonna be there. I mean all the mocks 1040 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 2: that have him in the twenties. I'm like, you're smoking cracker. 1041 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 2: I tell you that. I hate to say, God blessed 1042 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 2: whoever wrote that mock, but I don't think you are 1043 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 2: necessarily writing that after a cup of. 1044 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,840 Speaker 3: Coffee, you know. 1045 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 2: And so I look at those guys, and those are 1046 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 2: the guys that are gonna be the first and like 1047 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 2: you said, it may push Luther Burden at the end 1048 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 2: of the first round, possibly, but you also have to 1049 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 2: have a scheme fit for those guys. So if there's 1050 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 2: a scheme fit guy, they're gonna go get them regardless. 1051 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 2: But I think like a Meccha booka because you're like, 1052 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 2: you don't know, it's an enigma, Like I need a 1053 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,840 Speaker 2: number one receiver, but you're projecting to me as a 1054 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 2: number two, So I might overlook you in that type 1055 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 2: of situe. And then that's where it becomes like, Okay, 1056 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 2: day two, you gotta be active. You gotta be active 1057 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 2: in pushing. 1058 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 4: So I kind of foresee the stealer receiver room as 1059 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 4: Pickens Austin Wilson. I think you bring back a Scournick 1060 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 4: as your gunner slash fifth receiver on game day. That's 1061 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 4: not expensive. Some veteran that we know. I mean, somebody 1062 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 4: that's like in fantasy I mean like a well known bet. 1063 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 4: Not Van Jefferson, you know, I mean you know what 1064 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,360 Speaker 4: I mean, Like I'm not destroying Van Jefferson, but Cop 1065 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 4: or Debo or Adams or I mean somebody that's a 1066 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 4: legit dude and a day two pick. Yeah, you know, 1067 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 4: because that Day two dude needs to play a lot 1068 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 4: and we're maybe there and push Roman as well. Yeah, 1069 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 4: somebody to come in and push Roman because I think Calvin, 1070 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 4: like you said, is our slot and we're not drafting 1071 00:44:59,239 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 4: another slot. 1072 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 3: I don't any more little guys. 1073 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't eve anymore Loo, because they got Roman 1074 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: and I got. 1075 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 2: Calvin, and they're gonna be on the team.
