1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Goal, Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation, how we do it? Well, that's

4
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: good us too. It is our number two here of

5
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: the Drive on your twenty four to seven Home of

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: the Black and Gold was Shooler, Matt Williamson and Matt I.

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: We we're gonna hit the tweets again heavy in the

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: back half of this hour because we've gotten a bazillion

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: of them again too that we're trying to keep tabs on.

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: We were also I need to uh. I'll bring you

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: up to speed more on this when we go to break.

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: But we've myself TV UH are our fearless leader Brian Lamartina.

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: We've we've got a fun idea for some of our

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: listeners that we've been kicking around that we might roll

15
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: out here at some point in the off season that

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: I think people in it.

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I figured, I know what you're talking about. Yeah,

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: so always the last a couple that's actually been true

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: since the beginning of the Drive. If I if I

20
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: need to know anything, it was told to Dale and

21
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: then eventually it would trickle.

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: Down told mees would figure out like I.

23
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: Guess I'm supposed to be a training camp today or whatever.

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: Go all right, osmosis motes that's the tongue kind of nicely.

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: Although for the first time in our nearly decade of

26
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: working together, I mean not as intently as we are

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: now the past year, but you and I have been

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: doing shows and producing for you and Dale and stuff

29
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: like that for about ten years. I think you'll be

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: holding my hand for the for the owner's meetings, because

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: I'll be the one asking you, like, what do we do?

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: Where do we go a little?

33
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: And the combine was that way a little bit the

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: first time around or whatever. But I warned you whenever

35
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: you took over. It's like, I know I'm older than you,

36
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: but I'm not going to be more mature or responsible

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: than you. That's your job or this thing's not gonna

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: work or organized.

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: Much like the Great mic PURSUITA told me many years ago,

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: and I still remember, You're only young once, but Wesley,

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: you can be immature forever.

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

43
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: He told me that one night at Sharky's after a

44
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: couple pops and a bunch of Bruce Springsteen on the

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: touch tunes. Matt, you sent me an article this morning.

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna let me know what we're doing for

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: the listeners or whatever or is that still a you

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: open this segment?

49
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: Leg I said, I let you know when we went

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: to break.

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought you're about to divulge it to the world. Okay, okay,

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: it needs a little more. Make a note that somebody

53
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 3: should tell me at some point. Please if I'm involved.

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: You sent me an article Ben Solak, who we like.

55
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he does really good work.

56
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: Ranked all thirty two teams in the NFL based on

57
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: who has had the best free agency. Yeah yeah, okay,

58
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: so just free agency, not necessarily coaching changes and.

59
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: All these other no personnel moves, trades, yes, per trade.

60
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: Free agency and roster stuff and not like who's the

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: most improved And you're talking about the Raiders like they've

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: already added Mendoza.

63
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Roger, you do what have you

64
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: changed with your roster? Right?

65
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: And number one on his list the Pittsburgh Steelers.

66
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I loved seeing this, not because of my Steeler

67
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 3: roots and whatnot, but I do respect Ben quite a bit.

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: He's one of the ESPN people that I definitely click

69
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: on his article every time it comes up. That's not

70
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: true for everyone on the web, of course, but part

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: of me selfishly made me feel a little bit justified.

72
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, somebody that has no skin in the game

73
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: is actually agreeing with me that I really can't poke

74
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: holes in their moves.

75
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: Because we've seen remember we like we went over to

76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: Fox the Fox Sports list last week that had the

77
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: Steelers as being worse than they were when the season ended.

78
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, except for quarterback, which I think we're going

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: to figure that out at some point. I think this

80
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: roster is way better than the one that got eliminated

81
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. I mean, and I really understand all

82
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: the moves, and I understand I'm closer to this team

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: than the other thirty one. But if I were giving

84
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: out grades, they would be amongst the top five or

85
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: six to me because I understand the process and I

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: don't think they broke the bank to do it. They

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: weren't irresponsible moves, you know. So seeing this list, maybe

88
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: they're not number one on my list, but it was

89
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: great to see somebody that I respect that has no

90
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: skin in the game. It's a national dude, understand that. Boy,

91
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: this all makes sense. I think there's too many people

92
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: out there, like they're just living for today and they're

93
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: just running it back with Rogers and they got no

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: vision and blah blah blah. I'm like, that's coming in

95
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: the draft. They got a ton of picks, and please

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: think about next year's first round quarterback hopefully hopefully, you know, right,

97
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 3: I mean that really isn't an option right now. But

98
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 3: all this stuff adds up to me.

99
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he says he loves getting Pittman in the late

100
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: round Pickswap says that I didn't. So basically, for every

101
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: team he has a I loved, Yeah, what they did.

102
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: I got a deep dive on every movie I love.

103
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's what I loved, what I didn't love,

104
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: and for what I didn't love, he has nothing. Yeah, right,

105
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: he says, basically like it's not like the Steelers had

106
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: a bunch of home runs, but they had a ton

107
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: of doubles.

108
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: And in this market, that's great, great work this time Yeah, yeah,

109
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: it's great this time of year.

110
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: We don't need to roll through and talk about all thirs.

111
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 3: Maybe hit the divisions or maybe.

112
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: The top four two with San Francisco, which which Evans,

113
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: I guess kind of surprising to me. But you considered

114
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: Mike Evans and only fourteen million dollars guaranteed and that

115
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: Mike Evans, Yeah, night.

116
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: Chose them and what you know, which, yep, is a

117
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: nice situation to.

118
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: Be in Lions. At three.

119
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: About that, Yeah, I don't know about that either. They

120
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: lost a lot, man, Yeah, they've lost a fair amount.

121
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: I mean they made a couple of trades and the

122
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: old line's still up in the up in the air

123
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 3: a little bit.

124
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 2: Number four the New Orleans Saints David Edwards trap.

125
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: Us a chan Jen something like that. The Edwards pickups great,

126
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: that's like a strong starting guard that you got for

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: pretty decent money. I mean it's not flashy, it's not

128
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: fantasy related, but that's a good pickup.

129
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: Broncos at five the Wattle move Jalen Wattle bringing back JK.

130
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: Dobbins totally have.

131
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: Some of their own not real flashy before the Wattle trade,

132
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: but then push the chips.

133
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: In six, Patriots Elijah Vera Tucker, Romeo Dobbs like the.

134
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: Vera Tucker move made them better at two.

135
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: Spots if he's healthy.

136
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the left guard goes to center who they

137
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 3: trade and they get a picked four and Vera Tucker

138
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: goes in a left guard at seven.

139
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: I might have thought they were a couple of spots higher,

140
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: But the Raiders check in at seven. I think that

141
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: certainly makes sense. Toder Bomb, kway Walker, Na Kobe Dean,

142
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: Jalen Nail or Quitty Pay. I mean they added some

143
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: some proven production.

144
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: Now. One note is, it's kind of like when people give.

145
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: Out draft grades.

146
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: Well, if you pick high, you should get better grades,

147
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 3: or if you have a ton of picks, you should

148
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: get better grade. If you're the Raiders and you have a.

149
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: Bazillion dollars, you know you better get an A.

150
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you got a lot of holes and you

151
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: got a lot of caps fit, you know.

152
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: So let's see who else in the division is on

153
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: this list. I am at sixteen and still have not

154
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: seen any any Bengals checking in at nineteen.

155
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: Some of their defensive moves I thought were okay.

156
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: He said he likes it better than last year. Basically

157
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: likes the defensive moves, but didn't love how they left

158
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: the linebacker position untouched.

159
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was maybe the worst linebacker group in the

160
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: league last year.

161
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: Twenty one is where the Browns check in.

162
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: They did more to their own line than I thought

163
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: they were going to be capable of.

164
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: Liked what they did to the offensive line, but also

165
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: thinks that they maybe gave a little too much Desion Johnson.

166
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: But yes, they definitely probably get the space to well.

167
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: Yes, and no, if you have an expensive quarterback, they're.

168
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: Bad about maxing out there cate credit cards and kicking

169
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: the can down the road. They should probably eat their veggies.

170
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: Eat their veggies like the Dolphins one of these years,

171
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: because now that they're getting young and drafting dudes, actually,

172
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: you know.

173
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: And then I actually low they are the lowest of

174
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: any one of the Baltimore which is why I kind

175
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: of like this because we've read a lot.

176
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: Of National said this over and it's been.

177
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: Very high on Baltimore's off season. Solac has them twenty

178
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: third out of thirty two teams.

179
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: Hendrickson's great and it's a huge need, doesn't get me wrong.

180
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: But he said that they also are paying like tippy

181
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: top of the market for the pass rusher and Trey Hendrickson,

182
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: who might not be tippy top of the edge rushers anymore.

183
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: And might not be much longer.

184
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: Yes, but said that he really liked John Simpson along

185
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: with Trey Hendrickson. But yeah that you know, they lost

186
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: more than they gained and.

187
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: Real quick on Simpson in a nutshell. Yes, their guard

188
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: play was really bad last year. They were great at center,

189
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: they were good at tackle. Their guards are bad, but

190
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 3: just on the field, if you just look at guard

191
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 3: center guard, they got worse. And their interior as a

192
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: whole was bad last year even with Linderbaum and now

193
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: it's worse with linder Bomb gone, even adding Simpson, you

194
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like they didn't make a weakness

195
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: of strength. Sure they survived a little bit.

196
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: All right. Uh. Dead Last on his list is the Chargers.

197
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: Which I get because they had a ton of CAF

198
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: space and I wonder if this has been a couple

199
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: of years in a row that they don't spend.

200
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: I also wonder, though, if they look at it like

201
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: we're getting we're getting two of the top ten offensive

202
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: tackles in the world back. Yeah, yeah, that's our that's

203
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: our off season.

204
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: That's our off season. They kept like Khalil Mack and

205
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, but interesting. But I just wonder if

206
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: since Harbaugh's been there, they've had a lot of calf

207
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: face and haven't really spent, and I wonder if that's

208
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: just not his bag.

209
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: Dolphins at thirty one, that makes a ton of sense.

210
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: Sure, but they just than obvious what they're doing. Yeah,

211
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know where i'd rank them.

212
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: I enjoyed that article though, because it's just different. Like

213
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: we've seen a lot of love for the Ravens, Yeah,

214
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: and that wasn't the case here. We've seen a lot

215
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 2: of maybe kind of questioning about the Steelers. Solac loves

216
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: what they did. And again, this is from an national guy.

217
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: This is not from someone wearing black.

218
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: Skin the game at all. And you don't just put

219
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: the guys to the top that the most money. Yes,

220
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: to me, that's kind of short, shortcut the thinking.

221
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: Correct correct Matt on Monday on the show, quickly here

222
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: before we go to break, I'd like to get your

223
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: thoughts on this. I spent a ton of time on

224
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: this last night Monday on the show, we had a fun,

225
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: little brief conversation last Monday.

226
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: I think you're about coming up here from.

227
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, last Monday, we had a fun conversation about

228
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: some things in life that used to be cheap but

229
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: are now expensive. And we were talking about, like you know,

230
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: I think vinyl records and some things like that. This

231
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: is not like gas and housing and you know, this

232
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: is like interest rates.

233
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about these things.

234
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: Right Back in my day, new suit cost a nickel.

235
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: It costs five hundred dollars. And I got a tweet

236
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: from somebody that was like, you should turn that into

237
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: a best of the West. That was pretty funny. So

238
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: real quick for you, Matt. My top five things that

239
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: I missed that used to be cheap that aren't cheap anymore.

240
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: Number five, I've Las Vegas.

241
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so I never went, but back in our

242
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: younger days, my buds would go every like October because

243
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: there was MLB playoffs. There was like every sport. They

244
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 3: went for a long weekend and they were like, you

245
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: get there for nothing. You could gamble in the cheap.

246
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: The hotels used to be cheap, the food used to

247
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: be cheap. It was all about getting you to gamble.

248
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: Right now, people don't gamble as much, and so everything else.

249
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 3: Is because they can gamble here on their phone on

250
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: their phones exactly right. Yeah, they went in their twenties

251
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: because we didn't have a lot of money back then,

252
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 3: and they'd eat at little Caesars and you know right,

253
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: you know now, like it's a cheap trip and you

254
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: can spend what you want.

255
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: Now you can't find a slice of pizza for less

256

Speaker 2: room or a flight that's anywhere close to being what

258
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,280

Speaker 2: Hand exactly right. And the number one on the list

315
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: Matt sports and concert tickets. Way before this whole Instagram

316
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: TikTok generation thought it was cool to go to events.

317
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: Used to I mean, concert tickets, sporting events, easy pas,

318
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: no problem.

319
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: None of them were one hundred bucks, none of them, right,

320
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: And I know there's inflation and stuff. Yeah, you could go.

321
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: Not even close. And you used to be able to

322
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: like go to your Giant Eagle and buy tickets. Now

323
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,800

324
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: fifty dollars ticket actually cost you eighty bucks because you

325
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: got to pay thirty dollars in service fees. Concert tickets

326
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: now are bought up by bots and ticket Master and

327
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: resold right away for three times the face value on angry.

328
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: I used to when we were seniors in high school,

329
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: we'd go down to P and C Park. We'd wait

330
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: till like the second or third ending, walk up to

331
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: the ticket gate with a dollar bill each of us.

332
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, in the second inning, third ending, they'd print

333
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: us off a ticket to go sit in the outfield

334
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: and buy the seventh inning, we'd be in the dugout

335
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: hanging out with the there's nobody there. There's my best

336
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: of the West top.

337
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: Five Ian Bourbons and the other one. Used to especially

338
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: around here, you could go Wellers or Buffalo Trace. Rob

339
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: bought me a bottle Buffalo Trace when we were down there.

340
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: I remember you to a combine Eagle. Rare used to

341
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: get those for like sixteen bucks, and now you can't

342
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: even find them. And they're like eighty or something crazy.

343
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: One that I almost had on the list but was

344
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: just left off was Guinness and PBR. Really, Guinness and

345
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: PBR used to be the beers that you could get

346
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: for like three bucks.

347
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: Was like the remember PBR.

348
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, now they're like hipster popular cool.

349
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah I heard that about PBR. Now we used todn't.

350
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: I mean like that's all there was, yes, right, most

351
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: were like that's not my choice, right right.

352
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: And now Guinness has becoming that's such a cultural thing

353
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: that it's like seven or eight bucks a pint everywhere

354
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: you get that I.

355
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: Can kind of understand more so than PBR, Like at.

356
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: Least you are like you nitrous and the whole thing.

357
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,040

362
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: we're not thinking about.

363
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: This is one of those topics. Yeah, like we talk

364
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: about for four minutes, but we'll get forty tweets. Let's

Speaker 2: concern and reactions, because they are they are a plenty.

402
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: Matthew leads us off and basically asking if you could

403
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: ever see a scenario where the Steelers would take someone

404
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: at pick twenty one, say it's Venga Yoanna, and then

405
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: use some of their draft picks to get back into

406
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 2: the end of the first round to take a wide receiver,

407
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: maybe Omar Cooper junior Casey conception on wondering what we

408
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 2: think about that idea.

409
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: I sort of floated that out there earlier, but I

410
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: caveat it with trading down in round one would make

411
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 3: that easier, just to pick up more stuff. You know.

412
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: If you can move from twenty one to twenty four

413
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: and then move from fifty three to thirty four, yeah,

414
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, then you have even more

415
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: Not that it would be incapable, but I fifty three

416
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: to the sticking points. Obviously the moving up part. Moving

417
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 3: up from fifty three to say forty, isn't just a

418
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: third round pick, you know, and you could give up

419
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: two thirds or whatever. But if I've made the rule

420
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 3: that I'm not getting rid of any future picks, because

421
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 3: everyone's gonna ask for future picks, yep. If the Steelers

422
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: trade back, they're gonna ask for a future pick. No

423
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 3: one's ask for future picks. Everyone's the same stuff. I

424
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: don't know this draft. I think it might be a

425
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 3: little more challenge thing, even with the wealth of picks

426
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: the Steelers have, But I am certainly up for it,

427
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: of especially trading up from that second rounder, you know,

428
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: with all those thirds you got floating up there to

429
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: go get CONCEPCI owner, you know whoever. Yeah, Cooper or whatever.

430
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: It's an interesting conversation piece because they they certainly do have,

431
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: as we all know, twelve picks and plenty to work

432
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: with this they do. Bridge Burner tweets us and says

433
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: what he's think about Darnell Jackson Junior. Maybe in the

434
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: third round.

435
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: Florida State noses type guy. Yeah, sort of a poor

436
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 3: man Banks in terms of he kind of looks the part.

437
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: He's a six to six nosier guy. I need to

438
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: do a little more work on him. I have taken

439
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 3: him in the third round in mocks. He's a massive player.

440
00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: His You'll see this at this position sometimes, like Daniel

441
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: mccullors is the worst example of this. Of these six

442
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: six behemoth, huge hands, long arms, not necessarily fat guys

443
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 3: that are noses. But like mccullors, I'm up picking. I

444
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 3: am picking on him the seventh round pick. He would

445
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: stand up straight nine out of ten reps and just

446
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 3: stand there like an oak tree and get blocked. But

447
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: one out of ten he comes out low and he

448
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 3: just takes center, always right, right right, But it's like

449
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 3: you can't do it too in a row, and you

450
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: get one good snap out of him, and then he

451
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 3: comes out of his stands high and you know, and

452
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 3: some of it's stamina, some of it's just not the

453
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: ability to bend, and there's some stiffness. Now Jackson's a

454
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 3: much better version of that, but he's that version, and

455
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: it interests me. Yeah, I mean of the d tackles

456
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 3: more and more. I mean, I reference this a week

457
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 3: or two ago that I forget who put it out

458
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: on Twitter did. It was right after the Steelers made

459
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 3: the free agent and signing that all their D linemen

460
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: are six' three. Plus they all have long. ARMS i

461
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: don't think they want the nose that looks Like Casey.

462
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 3: HAMPTON i, MEAN i just don't think that's what they're going.

463
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: FOR i think if they're going to add a nose

464
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: type guy on, here it'll be more of The jackson.

465
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 3: Type but you're gonna have to keep coaching him up

466
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 3: to keep his pads. Down but there's something to work with.

467
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 2: There rawl tweets us and, says what would it take

468

469
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: SECOND i wonder second and a third round pick at

470
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: least you're fifty three and probably one of your earlier

471
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: third round, picks not pick ninety.

472
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: Nine, Yeah i'm thinking and, something you, know, like would

473
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 3: two and your last two thirds get you to the

474
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: third pick in the second? Round you also have an extra,

475
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: fourth you know. WHAT i don't think your earliest three

476
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 3: and your two gets you, to say thirty. Five so

477
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 3: a little more of, that a little. More, yeah we do.

478
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,520

487
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: tyson the Next Randy? MOSS i think that would be

488
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 2: the only way that you would think about entertaining is

489
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: if it gave you a real haul for the twenty

490
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: twenty Seven.

491
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah and, FRANKLY i don't think anyone thinks it's going to.

492
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 3: HAPPEN i bet this tweeter doesn't think it's you, know,

493
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: Tomorrow we're gonna come in here and we're, like, oh

494
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 3: they TRADE t J. WATT i don't think that's gonna.

495
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: Happen would be good for the content, purposes though it,

496
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: would although we won't be here.

497
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 3: Tomorrow good. Point the only WAY i could see him

498
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 3: getting traded would be if the season doesn't go particularly

499
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: well and the trade you're like two or three wins

500
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 3: and there's desperate teams like The lions And TJ's still really, good,

501
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 3: right and the only thing they can give you is future,

502
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 3: picks which is what you want it, Anyway and maybe

503
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: you get The lions Or bears first, rounder and then

504
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: you're sitting there, going, well we have an early first

505
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: and we just got a. First get him off the.

506
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 3: Books that probably almost guarantees us a quarterback in some,

507
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 3: way shape or, form because our picks earlier than we.

508
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 3: Expected BUT i can't imagine going into this season not. Trading,

509
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: yeah and, trading you know WHAT i, mean BECAUSE i

510
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: don't know if he'd be worth more or less Than.

511
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: CROSBY i think.

512
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: LESS i mean he is what like three years?

513
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 3: OLD i, Said i'm guessing it's three years. Older, yeah And.

514
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 3: CROSBY i mean a trade did basically, happen, Right, YEAH

515
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 3: i don't think you're getting that kind of.

516
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: Haul probably not in season, either because the bigger trades

517
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: like that t to. Be, yeah but maybe you get

518
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: a first in a.

519
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 3: Second, YEAH i Mean i'm open to. That if you're

520
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: not a contender a TRADE'S i, mean things have to

521
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: go pretty bad exactly right. Now you do have her

522
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 3: big and you, KNOW i mean like you could make it. Work, yeah, Absolutely.

523
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,320

Speaker 3: Table, No, NO i think he's A i think they

525

Speaker 2: of the ongoing defensive tackle versus nosey ish, discussion wondering

535
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 2: why we don't talk more About harmon's potential to do

536
00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 2: nosy ish. Things, Yeah like it's it's basically saying, like you, Know,

00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: About, YEAH i saw this one, too AND i Think

540
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: benton's a little bit heavier and maybe a little taller as.

541
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: Well i'm they're. CLOSE i. DON'T i just don't know

542
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: why you'd mess with a good. Thing AND i think

543
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: he's pretty set where he's. AT i think why A

544
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 3: black's the one you consider bumping more. Inside he's the bigger,

545
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 3: body he's slower off the, ball he's not as, dynamic

546
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: he's not as good at what he does. YET i

547
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: understand the, idea BUT i don't need a lot of

548
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: moving parts in there. EITHER i also don't know that

549
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 3: they'll be as definitely won't be as three four. Oriented

550
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: not That i'm still there's a. Lot there's not that

551
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 3: many snaps where you have a nose flanked by two

552
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: d ns and two outside, linebackers you, Know BUT i

553
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: understand the thought. Process BUT i wonder if there's gonna

554
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: be more, movement period, alignment.

555
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,800

665
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,479
Speaker 2: i know what you. Mean Number one would be for

666
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: this draft class to be as good at quarterback as

667
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: we think it's going to be the upcoming. One because,

668

Speaker 3: Gonna be pulled out from under us this.

672
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: Year that would absolutely be.

673
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: One The Club nix of the world that everyone was

674
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: so excited about aren't exciting.

675
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: Anymore number two for, me that's a reasonable. One number

676
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: two for, Me Zack fraser turns into the best center

677
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: in the.

678
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: National, okay, SEE i was gonna say something like all

679
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: your draft picks, hit but that's like asking too, much

680
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 3: you know WHAT i. Mean like that's WHY i said

681
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 3: it's a bad, question but it's a good, idea you

682
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: know WHAT i.

683
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: Mean Like number, three The Aaron rodgers saga gets wrapped up.

684
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: SOON i think on that, one twenty twenty seven strong quarterback.

685
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: CLASS i like that. Thought Zack fraser best in the,

686
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: World Aaron.

687
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: RODGERS i think that one doesn't need our, help doesn't.

688
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: LEAD i like hearing you say That Aaron rodgers doesn't

689
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: linger into.

690
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: Summertime, YEAH i don't want to be At OTAs, again

691
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 3: not knowing that answer.

692
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: Same because that means that when it's impossible to park down,

693
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: there it's going to be even more impossible because all

694
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: the national Media jabroni's and slappies are going to be

695
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: showing up trying to figure out what's going on With Aaron.

696
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: RODGERS i just take these questions so. Literally, sometimes LIKE

697
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 3: i could be Like Ruman wilson turns Into Antonio, Brown

698
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 3: like that.

699
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 2: Would Be johnson turns into Lev.

700
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: Bell you'd be pretty happy if you know they turned

701
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: into phenomenal, players you, know like someone that's not so

702
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 3: great right, Now.

703
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,800

00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,120

711
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,160

712
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,040

00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 3: MENTIONED i talked To marcus again today about, him and

777
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: WHAT i didn't realize is he's a little er THAN i,

778
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 3: thought and he does struggle a little bit to keep weight.

779
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 3: On so he is not going to look Like Chris,

780
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 3: kimiatu you, know LIKE i, mean he's not gonna look

781
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 3: like a guard that's three hund and forty. Pounds he's

782
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: a movement based, dude but he is super rugged and

783
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 3: he's really really physical despite not being you, know three

784
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 3: or twenty. Pounds but he's done his best work at.

785
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 3: Center he's taking his most snaps at. Center BUT i

786
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 3: absolutely think your line's in really good. Shape if he's

787
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 3: the backup across the board on the interior or a

788
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,959
Speaker 3: spot starter at one of those you, KNOW i really

789
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: like the.

790
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: Addition, yeah, absolutely that's that's what you. Want you want

791
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: a guy with versatility in that type of.

792
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: Role really smart. Too Smooth, day one.

793
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: Of our regular tweeters says that if The steelers do

794
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 2: go with drafting wide, receivers say they take one On

795
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 2: day two and one on day three as, well is that?

796
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: Smart is that a smart bet to acquire high level wide.

797
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: RECEIVERS i look at the wide receivers we've drafted in

798
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,959
Speaker 2: rounds two to four over the last ten. Years Roman,

799

803
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 2: sanders AND i Know Antonio brown is an ultimate.

804

Speaker 3: Outlier I'tas bryant was really good, Too ryan And juju

805
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: was a hit most of the time too as a second.

806
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 3: ROUNDER i would counter that by, saying looking around the

807
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 3: league the last ten to twelve drafts of Just day two,

808
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,760

Speaker 3: Guy, yeah, right right.

813
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: RIGHT i, mean and that that didn't work out for other,

814
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,479
Speaker 2: reasons but not because he can't.

815
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 3: Play it wasn't like he was useless on the. Field,

816
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 3: Yes now there's also a lot of. Run there's a

817
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 3: lot Of round one misses it wide receiver more than

818
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: people think, TOO i mean Like Tybon, burks guys like That.

819
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 3: Devan there's more than you think is round one. Misses you, know,

820
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: Famously Aaron rodgers never had a first round. Receiver he

821
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 3: Has Jordy nelson And Devonte adams and did quite. Well,

822
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 3: NO i think it's a sweet, spot especially in this.

823
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: DRAFT i love.

824
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: The day answer varies from year to.

00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 3: Year, Yes i'm sure he's heard me SAY i like

826
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 3: taking two of them one day two BECAUSE i think there's.

827
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 2: A lot to pick one ends up being a second contract. Guy,

828
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 2: great AND.

829
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: I would take two that are sort of. Different maybe

830
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 3: one of Them's burks or one of those short. Guys you.

831
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 2: Know, Yes taco cat tweets us it's our first encounter two,

832
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: questions all, Right taco since it's your first. Time i'll

833
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 2: let you get a double take in. Here number, one

834
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 2: how do you see the evolution of the tight end

835
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: position in the current state OF nfl? Offenses more pass,

836
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: catching more traditional inline, blocking more positionless. Usage that's a good. Question. Uh,

837
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 2: second if you have the chance to see and then

838
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 2: the tweet cuts, Off i'll see IF i can find

839
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 2: the second. Question first, One, matt that's a good. One

840
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: how do you see the evolution of the?

841
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 3: Position more multiple tight ends on the, field particularly these

842
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 3: last two. Years The steelers were kind of ahead of

843
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: the game on, that but The rams took it to

844
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 3: a new level in terms of thirteen. Personnel but the latest,

845
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 3: trend and this is very steel, irrelevant is everyone's talking

846
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 3: about boys those the league's go into a lot of

847
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 3: six tozero. Line, yeah they. Are but what is getting

848
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 3: more and more popular are The Darnel, washington's the guys

849
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 3: that might not run a four to four but can

850
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: truly block defensive ends and edge, rushers you, know Like Jackson.

851
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 3: HAWES i, mean like these old school inline Mark brunners

852
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 3: of the, world you know that are real. Blockers but

853
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 3: against nickel and dime that you get so much that

854
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 3: they can actually block an. Edge they're becoming more and more,

855
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 3: valuable and they're not as easy to, find you know

856
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: WHAT i. Mean you watch a lot of college there

857
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 3: aren't many blocking tight end not. Anymore and that doesn't

858
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 3: mean they can't. CATCH i, mean like you got mean

859
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: something in the passing, game but they're almost always ignored

860
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 3: as route. Runners and if they can block an, edge

861
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 3: that's a huge advantage against light.

862
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: Boxes yes it. Is, yeah it's. Been it's been a

863
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: heck of an evolution for that. Position, yeah last decade or.

864
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 2: So AND i don't think it's fully. Finished all, right

865
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 2: let's see. Here last one of the day most likely.

866
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 2: Goes my, goodness there's still like a dozen of these

867
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: that we didn't get. To you people are, crazy, Uh

868
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: last one of the. Day Polly walnuts tweets us a

869

Speaker 2: nice Little sopranos reference. There we had a we had

870
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 2: Always sonny In philadelphia. Yesterday we Got sopranos. Today besides an,

871
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: experience what is Holding Will howard back from being a better?

872
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: Prospect seems like he had a lot of success in,

873
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: college has some physical. Tools just curious why he seemed

874
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: to have gone so late in the draft and THEN

875
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: i compare him to someone Like Kenny pick who was

876
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 2: drafted in the first. Round, Also steelers currently uh seven

877
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: and a half to eight and a half win total

878
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 2: on Different vegas gambling. Sites i've already locked in the.

879
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 3: Over seven a half seems.

880
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 2: Low seven and a. Half oh my, Goodness, YEAH i

881
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 2: mean eight and a.

882
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 3: Half i'm sure that's about where they usually.

883
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: Seems like that's what they've been the last few. Years,

884
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 2: yeah and they always beat it by.

885
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 3: A, game and they usually be a game.

886
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 2: Seven and a. Half definitely feels like that's so you

887
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: can put some put some some some futures on that.

888
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: One So, howard first, OFF i didn't THINK i thought

889
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 3: he was a value in the sixth. ROUND i thought he,

890
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 3: was like if we had this conversation one year, AGO

891
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 3: i thought he was a fourth round player in terms

892
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 3: of traits. Prospect to get him the six, GREAT i

893
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 3: think they did real well. There they must have agreed

894
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 3: or they wouldn't have taken.

895
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 2: Them.

896
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 3: Sure, NOW i did think it was interesting when you

897
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 3: compare him to him And pick it they're not much different,

898
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 3: PHYSICALLY i mean just in terms of, size. SPEED i

899
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 3: do Think kenny's twitchiness was a little. UNDERRATED i thought

900
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 3: he had more quickness than people. Realized you, know everyone

901
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 3: remembers like the, scramble fake slide and you get a,

902
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 3: pit you. Know but, yeah his suddenness and pocket movement

903
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 3: was better in the pros THAN i. Remembered he had

904
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 3: other issues, obviously and still. Does but as For, HOWARD

905
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 3: i just don't think HE i think most of his

906
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 3: if he's going to be, successful and most people think

907
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 3: this is his strength anyways that have been around, him

908
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 3: is above the neck and reading defenses and anticipation and

909
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 3: getting the ball out to the right place point guarding it,

910
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 3: up which is easier said than. DONE i, mean you

911
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: run the plays like their run is hard to. Do

912
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 3: and he looks like he's on path to be that

913
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 3: type of. Guy BUT i think the question said something,

914
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 3: like and it looks like he's got physical abilities or

915
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 3: some physical, abilities AND i think that's. Right he has, Some,

916
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 3: yeah but there's no physical trait that's an a like arm, size,

917
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 3: RIGHT i, mean he's got. Nothing and there's been really successful.

918
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks Kirk cousins doesn't, either or you, know Even Matt ryan.

919
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 3: Doesn't you, know guys have really good careers that don't

920
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 3: Have Josh allen's arm or, size Or lamar's legs or.

921
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 3: Whatever but he doesn't have a trait that is upper

922
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 3: tier BY nfl starter. Standards that's different than college prospect

923
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 3: coming out.

924
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 2: Of school along in the league in some, capacity.

925
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 3: Right, right you, know Like rogers is an amazing thrower

926
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 3: of the, football and even talking to Like pursuda And

927
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 3: rob and these, guys you, know they're they're around him every,
