1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: At least. He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: Williamson on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt

4
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: Williamson and well, once again the busy newsday for the Steelers.

5
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: UH restructuring the contract of Eric Ebron, have some cap

6
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: space that puts some about fourteen million over the under

7
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: the cap. I should say there's stuff coming. Something is

8
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: because the Steelers never make a move until they have

9
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: to make a move. So one day they released Steven

10
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Nelson that saves eight point to five million against their cap,

11
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: and they didn't have to do it on that particular day.

12
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Either there's something coming, and then they restructure Eric Key Brown.

13
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: There's there's some move. I'm saying moves plural because they're

14
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: not going to spend fourteen million dollars one player. They're

15
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: not going to spend half of that on one player.

16
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: There's not a guy out there that would be that

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: obvious target, right, But they've now got some cap space

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: that they're you know, now that the first wave of

19
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: free agency is over, they're like, okay, now we can

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: settle in and get some bargains. Yeah, and more people

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: will get cut around the league too. And um, there's

22
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: a lot of guys out there that would gladly take

23
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: a one year deal or a reduced rate, or maybe

24
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: even a two year deal. Who knows. We're talking off

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: the air. I think there's several positions that certainly jumped

26
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: to the top of the forefront. Yeah. I think you

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: could look at center as being one of those spots.

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: I think you can look at defensive tackle being one

29
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: of those spots, either a nose or or someone to

30
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: put into the rotation. That again, they're not looking for

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: a true nose. Nose and value replacements right right right,

32
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: And then I think you look at uh, tight end.

33
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: I would think corner as well, perhaps if something presents itself.

34
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: But I think they're okay, I mean they're they're paying

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: Cameron Sutton. Um, I think they want to see him

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: on the field. That's why the move with Steven Nelson.

37
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: He's gonna so you know, are you looking for a

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: veteran slot cornerback so Sutton doesn't have to do that?

39
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: I wonder where he's more comfortable. I think he's a

40
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: little better inside, but take more of a beating inside too.

41
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: You get more beat up. He's good at both. It's

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting for him. I think the big thing

43
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: is he's never really had an opportunity to just to

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: play one spot. Yeah, you know, it's always been okay,

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: take some snaps at Nickel, takes some snaps on the outside.

46
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: How about some snaps the safety and right, And that's great.

47
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: Versatility is wonderful. And you know, Minca is a great example.

48
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: We got used in a variety of ways and that

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: was the reason he was picked so high by Miami,

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: and deservedly so. But when you stick those guys in

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: one spot and they don't have to do a lot

52
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: of things, sometimes their game exceled. Now they now they

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: can get better at that part of it and just

54
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: concentrate on that. Um. Where's the Chase Claypool stuff from

55
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: from over the weekend? U UM video of him surfacing

56
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: in a bar fight. UM, not the best look. I

57
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: didn't see the video yet, but I've heard it's but great.

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: It's not great, but it's not something that's oh my god,

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna get suspended for the year or somebow. I mean,

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: first of all, it's a misdemeanor. Maybe he gets sued

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: by the guy because of who he is, because of

62
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: who he is. But outside of that, I don't see

63
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: that being I don't think that's the suspension looming or

64
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: I don't think so from what I heard, it didn't.

65
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it. So it's a really second. But

66
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: you have to be smarter than that. And it's not

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: the smart it's not a good look. It's not a

68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, a great move, not the smartest thing to do.

69
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: You gotta realize who you are. You are always have

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: a target. You gotta walk away, right, you guys got to, Um,

71
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean unless your family is at stake or something,

72
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: or you're defending saying you know someone that's really in trouble.

73
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: But hopefully that's a lesson and a wake up called

74
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: the quip being dumb, you know that kind of that's

75
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: just the thing. Um. They also, uh, we saw Fritz

76
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Blaine signed his exclusive rights free agent deal today. That's

77
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: that's a that's that's an accounting move that that was

78
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: going to happen. He can't go anywhere else. Um, so

79
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: that's taken care of now. So you see those headlines

80
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: and overreact and it really isn't anything. Uh, you start

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: looking here I'm looking at NFL dot COM's top remaining

82
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: free agents. These are guys still available. Before you do,

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: I don't throw one crazy thing at you. Okay, I

84
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: don't think this is gonna happen, trust me. But you

85
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: could trade for Sam Donald now you could you know

86
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: what I mean, You could do something like that. I mean,

87
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen, but you could do

88
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: that now. Yeah, if you wanted to the top free

89
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: agents available. Uh, this guy was seven on the original list.

90
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: He's still available. Jadeveon Clowney. He's not coming to the Steelers.

91
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: I've seen that the speculum. Well, he could go to

92
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers because they need an outside pet edge rusher.

93
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: That's not him. Him and Bud have some similarities, but

94
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that's They didn't use Bud like Houston

95
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: used the pre or used clown which I thought would

96
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: fit him a little bit better. But you don't want

97
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: to line him up on the edge and drop him

98
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: into coverage, and you know, and he's not gonna play

99
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: for three million a year. Uh. Number twenty six is

100
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: still available. That's Mitchell Schwartz. M that's all health. It's

101
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: how I think that that's gonna be one that maybe

102
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: somebody signs him going in the training camp. I think

103
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he'll go to the back of the Chiefs potentially,

104
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Although Kyle Long could play

105
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: right back, he's also thirty two years old, you know,

106
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: coming off of a back injury. You know, there there's

107
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: some interest, there's some retirement rumors out there. He's not

108
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna justin Houston, still available. He was number twenty eight

109
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: on the original list. See, some of these older edge

110
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: guys are interesting to me, and he wouldn't even be

111
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: a starter over Highsmith. Just we want to use you. Yeah,

112
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna play twenty snaps a game. We want twenty

113
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: quality edge rushes off of you. Other guys fresh, keep

114
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: you fresh. We're gonna you know, you're not gonna And

115
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: if he came in in that kind of role, he'd

116
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: get five or six sex yeah, right, right right, because

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: he's good. He's still able to do that. He just

118
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: can't do it for sixty snaps a game. I'd be

119
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: very interested in somebody like that. I mean, it might

120
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: even be lesser versions in him that are a little

121
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: too yeah, you know, right, But somebody that can do

122
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: that for you as a veteran. Yeah, that's interest to me.

123
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: I thought t Y Hilton signed, but apparently he hasn't yet.

124
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: Uh so he's number thirty three. Unless he's still there,

125
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: he's not gonna he's not gonna be here. Carlos Dunlap

126
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: is number thirty four. He's still available. He really doesn't

127
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: fit here. He doesn't fit. I kind of like the player,

128
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: but he's a four man front guy all day long.

129
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna be if you were to

130
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: use him on the edge when you go to two

131
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: sub packages, that would work. Yeah, but that's tough. Yeah,

132
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't like the fit. Uh. Number fourtis Melvin Ingram.

133
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: He's a perfect example. Yeah, I mean I'll take him

134
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: over Clowney or but he can't stay healthy. He can't

135
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: stay healthy. But he'd be my third guy. I don't

136
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: think he would sign for I don't think he's gonna wait.

137
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna wait and see what he can get.

138
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Forty two still available as Eric Fisher. That one's gonna be.

139
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he plays in a batical obviously

140
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: to that Achilles tending lateness in the playoffs. I mean,

141
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: I just think he takes the year if he's still

142
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: only thirty. But that's a serious, serious injury. I mean,

143
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: what if you were the Colts that have a lot

144
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: of free agent money and a left tackle, need sign

145
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: him now and assume he's not gonna play for the year, Like,

146
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: but then you're gonna draft somebody because you're gonna have

147
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: somebody to play that spot this year. It's it's Harry. Yeah.

148
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: I think he ends up just sitting out the season

149
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: and coming back next year and saying I'm still Eric Fisher.

150
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure he's I don't think his career

151
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: is over like Schwartz, Uh forty four is kJ Wright.

152
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: He's thirty two. Um, it's had a really good career. Yeah,

153
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's what they need though. No, I

154
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: don't think so either. But I'm kind of surprised he

155
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten signed by anyone yet. I need to leader

156
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: have been on a lot of good defenses, every down

157
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: player in his Tampa Bay brought Lavante David back like immediately,

158
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Um they're the same age. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think

159
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: rights with the Steelers need I mean we've been back

160
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: and forth so many times Via text and stuff. There's

161
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: there's a million athletic linebackers in this class, this class

162
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: because the PRODS numbers are coming out. I'm just like,

163
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: holy macrow, I didn't know that that guy was that fast.

164
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's with low four six and they're all too twenty plus,

165
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: you know. I mean there's a lot of them six two,

166
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: six three, and they're multiple clay right right, right, So

167
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: I think that's the role. You go a linebacker, Give

168
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: me speed and youth and cheap. Yeah, um is Malcolm Butler.

169
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: He's thirty one, didn't have a great year at the

170
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: right price maybe, but I don't love it. The same

171
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: thing with this guy fifty ones Richard Sherman. Right, it

172
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: has to be the right fit. I mean, him and

173
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: Tomlin might be great for one another. And he's really smart,

174
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: been around the block. He's a but the Steelers will

175
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: say more man defensive. You're not really a man cover guy,

176
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, an off man cover guy. And he's always

177
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: lined up in Hayden spot at that left corner, like

178
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: I bet he would not want to be the right corner. Yeah.

179
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: Fifty two is Sammy Watkins and the Ravens were kicking

180
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: the tires on him. If that's the Ravens upgrade this

181
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: year at wide receiver like they're they're in trouble. They're

182
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: in trouble to receive position. They almost have to or

183
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: somebody like that. But I don't trust rookies. They've been

184
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: doing down that well many times. I mean, they're their

185
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: average age of their receivers on their roster right now.

186
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: I believe it's like twenty two and a half. That

187
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: doesn't change that by adding another rookie to the equation. No,

188
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: they drafted someone with a great forty time every year,

189
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: and none of them have really hit. I mean, Brown's

190
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: are two. I bet Watkins about the best they can do. Yeah,

191
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is still available, he's number fifty six. I

192
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: still think he goes back to Tampa. Yeah, I've heard

193
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: some Russell Wilson's interested in the rumors too, and I

194
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: think they're trying to make Russ happy. But I bet

195
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: he's a bucker a seahawk. This one's interesting. De Kwon

196
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: Jones we were talking about off the air nose tackle,

197
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: um space eater runs stuff. He's not a guy, you know,

198
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: he would be interesting. I mean you said, I'm seeing

199
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: your words. He would be an upgrade over a lu Lulu. Yeah.

200
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: I think he's not a great pass rusher, but a

201
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: better player younger, Like he's the one I signed a

202
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: two year deal. Yeah, I think again, twenty nine years old.

203
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 1: I think he would get You know, he's at the

204
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: stage of his career now, we're where Aloala was when

205
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: the Steeler signed him. Yeah, four years ago, twenty nine

206
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: year old. Guys's been a starter for a long time.

207
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: Pick has some pedigree right now. I like that one

208
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: maybe the best for what he would cost. I don't

209
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: think it'd be super expensive. I wouldn't think so, because

210
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of million over two years. There's a

211
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: lot of defensive tackles available there, So if you're gonna

212
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: spend that, you know, if you were going to spend that,

213
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: let's say it's six million over two years, that's what

214
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: al lat Yeah, that's why it's you're out of Deke

215
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: one Jones. Yeah, I would. Yeah. I wonder if he's

216
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: overpriced himself a little, or there's something there we don't know,

217
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: but um on the surface, that seems like yeah, uh,

218
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: sixty six is Safety's Avian Woods. I don't see the

219
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: need there. Sixty seven though, his center, Austin Rider, twenty

220
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: nine year old center. He's got plenty of playoff experience.

221
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: He's a chief for people who don't know, not not

222
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: a real household name, because you can get you can

223
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: get lost in that offense. Yeah, he was the only

224
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: player on their line to play well in the Super Bowl,

225
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: by the way, and everyone just slumps them all together

226
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: as poor guy, Like, hey, I held up the other

227
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: four days they were storming the castle. This wall didn't

228
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: go down here. They just the side gate was opened

229
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: and the back gate was open. But he's not the front. Yeah,

230
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the best thirty two as

231
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: you would think in Kansas City's offense, better in protection.

232
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: He's not a massive Malia type guy, but he's pretty

233
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: good on his feet. That would make sense. Yeah, I mean, so,

234
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean you could sign those two guys you signed

235
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: A Kwon Jones and Austin Writer. Yeah, you just helped

236
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: yourself up the middle of the field on both right.

237
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: And then maybe I'm not drafting center and where you

238
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: take one late and you know, maybe try to develop them,

239
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: but you certainly don't have to um. And then lastly two,

240
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean we were talking about this off the year.

241
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: I'd love to not draft a d tackle this year

242
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: just because the class thinks it's not very good. Do

243
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: it next year. It would be nice to push that

244
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: down the road. Sixty eight is Cordarrel Patterson and I

245
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: don't know what you do with him. No, I bet

246
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: mc Canada would like him. He's thirty, though I know

247
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: he's no longer a spring chicken here and he's not

248
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: going to stay fast forever. He's a great returner. It's

249
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: a great return guy, but there's he doesn't know how

250
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: to run route and he's he's been in the league

251
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: for eight years and still doesn't know a round. Yes,

252
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: thanks way you putting it. He's been with a lot

253
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: of different teams. Uh. Seventy three is Duke Johnson. M hmm,

254
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: if used properly, you're sing back, would you rather have

255
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson as you're receiving Becker Jylen Samuel slam Dunk.

256
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean Duke Johnson has the most rushing yards in

257
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: the US history too. I mean no one ever looks

258
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: at him asn't every down back, but for a game

259
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: or two, yeah, I mean I can get you much

260
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: handaball Duke than Samuel. Yeah, I mean he knows what

261
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, solid NFL player still still Yeah, they're

262
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: running back you know, have not been certainly not been

263
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: paid in this offseason. You know you mentioned you probably

264
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: want to keep an extra back this year or the

265
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: seventeen game schedule him McFarlan snell early pick. Okay, yeah,

266
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: you know right, there's a variety there. Seventy four is

267
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: a villain a waiver still available. Steeler fans want him

268
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: to sign for big money somewhere else. Yeah, that's what

269
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: you that's what you really want. And we haven't mentioned

270
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: a lot of tackles on this list. Well, they get

271
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: picked up quick. Yeah, I keep going back to Indie.

272
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: I mean, they have money and they need a left

273
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: tackle bad. I mean unless they think they have a

274
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: EEO for Orlando Brown or something like that. I mean,

275
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: if al wants to play, I think somebody will use

276
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: them absolutely. But I was you know, Steeler fans probably

277
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: would have been better if you'd have been signed already

278
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: to a bigger deal. I mean the fact that he's

279
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: still out there is not great for your compic situation. Uh.

280
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: Seventy six is Alton Smith still available? They're not gonna

281
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: take over. Seventy eight is Brushot Breland. He's okay, Yeah,

282
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: he's twenty nine. Yea Quentin Dumbar the same thing at

283
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: three year old cornerback. Four. This is the this is

284
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: all the defensive back guy area. Here is Casey Hayward,

285
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: thirty two. Didn't have a good year last year. They

286
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: didn't have a great year. He's had a good career.

287
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: He's thirty two years old. It makes me feel eighty

288
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: seven is MALIEK. Cooker. And I had some people saying, well,

289
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: the Steeler should sign MALIEK. Cooker and and uh, you

290
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: know they could use him and then not, uh you know,

291
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: pick up the option Edmonds next year. Malie Cooker can't

292
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: stay healthy. They can't stay healthy, right, he's coming off

293
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: a torn achilles. Yeah, it's a bad one. You know.

294
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: That's just youngstown guy. And people are rooting for him

295
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: around here and his former first round pick and that

296
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: part's great, but you gotta be on the field, and

297
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: he hasn't been great on the field period. Yeah. The

298
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: best ability is availability. He didn't have a lot of

299
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: that uh nineties Lawrence guy. He would fit the bill. Yeah,

300
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: not sexy, but he eats up space tough, you know,

301
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: veteran James Conner. The more you wait, the more the longer.

302
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: It looks like I would not be opposed to bringing

303
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: James Conner back on a you know, like you did

304
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: with ju Ju. But she basically make it very known

305
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the two. But you say, James, you're

306
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: the you're the starter going in the training camp, but

307
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: we're drafting somebody. Oh yeah, and you don't know you're

308
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: gonna get the guy again. Seventeen game schedule. You average

309
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: twenty touches per game over seventeen game schedule. That's touches

310
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna be tough for any running back. So you

311
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: better have two starter capable running backs. Oh yeah, but

312
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: you consider for net you even mentioned his name. I

313
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: don't know if he's on that list. I didn't think

314
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: he was very good before he was a boss, and

315
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: I think he's been overrated. And I still think he's

316
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: a locker room pro. There's a reason. That's that's the

317
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: reason why he got benched. It was inactive for a

318
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: game in Tampa late in the year because he was

319
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: he was you know, I should be getting the ball,

320
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: I should be doing this. I should be doing that,

321
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, and I bet he's asking for money or

322
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: he would have been signed by now. He doesn't. I

323
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: wanted Mike Davis to be honest with you, Yeah he was.

324
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: He would have been a guy short. That one's interesting

325
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: to me too. I mean, he's probably getting to a

326
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: stage of his career like Gerald McCoy and some of

327
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: these guys that we don't I'm not gonna play a

328
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: ton of snaps. We know, you know how to get

329
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: it done. Your body can't handle the wear and tear anymore.

330
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: But for twenty five snaps line up at d tackle

331
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: or three technique, rushed the pass or you know. Okay,

332
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up a way. Those guys are

333
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: available every year. There's there's a bunch of them this year.

334
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: Like you can get Tyson and Louilu play the snaps

335
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: last year. I mean, no one just signed today. Yeah yeah,

336
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think the Steelers were interested in him,

337
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: but I mean I pedigreed. Dudes that would have had

338
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: a lot of successfull leagu they're just getting up in age. Yeah. Short.

339
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: That guy now uh is al Quitine Mohammed, defensive tackle

340
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 1: out of from the Colts. I don't know much about him.

341
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: Played multiple positions, he's played across their line um again,

342
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: twenty six years old and age part interesting, I don't

343
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: know much about him. Uh. Number one Hunters Everson Griffin, Pooh,

344
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: he doesn't drop, he doesn't fight. He's kind of like

345
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: dun lapping that way. But if it was pure edge

346
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: rush situation, bring him in for twenty snaps a game.

347
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: But the problem is then Highsmith gets hurt for a

348
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: game and you don't have a start starter and you

349
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: can't drop the coverage and doesn't really play the position

350
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: the way you want. Now I'm looking at uh that

351
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: was from NFL dot com and looking here at Pro

352
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: Football Network. Yeah, that was off of their original list

353
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: the guys still remaining. Top remaining guys according to Pro

354
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: Football Network. I'm gonna skip the quarterbacks because, yeah, but

355
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: here's the here's the kind of guys that are available

356
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: quarterback you're talking about Nick Mullins, Brian Hoyer, Alex Smith,

357
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: Chase Daniel, Robert Griffin, c J. Bether like an hour ago. Yeah,

358
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: this is this is the kind of pool you're dipping

359
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: your toe into. I think over all those guys, folks Meanwhile, Oh,

360
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: by the way, Josh Dobbs not on here anywhere. Not

361
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: that Haskins is good, but I'll think Haskins over all

362
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: those guys, any of those just or at least he

363
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: might hit, you know, um free the free agent wide

364
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: receiver market again, this is where Baltimore is going to

365
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: be dipping. It's too into it. They almost have to

366
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: if the Steelers would happen to go this route, he

367
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: has to play special teams. Yeah, you know, it has

368
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: to be the Hayward Bay type, t Y Hilton, Antonio Brown,

369
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Adam Humphries, markets injury to Marcus Robinson, Marquis Goodwin,

370
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: Golden Tate, cor Darrell Patterson, All Sewan, Jeffrey, Willie Snead,

371
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: a lot of guys with issues and then some of

372
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: the some of them are pure slots, which doesn't help

373
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: them the everything. If you're a raven, you get a block,

374
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: you get a block. I mean like t By Hill

375
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: name block. Damn. Yeah. I think when when it's all

376
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: said and done, the Niver resigning Willie Snead, maybe I

377
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: could see Watkins there, but potentially trust him at all. Yeah,

378
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean, because I look at the rest of it.

379
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: Maybe a Golden Tate. Maybe he's more slott, he's tough

380
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: at least though, Yeah, at least he's a proven, you

381
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: know guy that they would use them. Yeah. Uh, top

382
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: remaining running backs on the market. This is what it's

383
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 1: down to her now. James Conner's number one on their

384
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: list over Leonard four, Nette Levy on Bell three, Todd

385
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: Gurley four. I'm not interested in Bell or Gurly at all.

386
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: I know people probably there was a big guys, Duke Johnson,

387
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman, Brian Hill A couple of times. That's not

388
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: so bad, No, I mean he could be. He's cheap,

389
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: he's doesn't have a lot of wear and teary. Good

390
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: at Clemson. He's done fine when given the opportunities. He

391
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: was good last year. Um Tevin Coleman met Brita Klein Balage.

392
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to do with Coleman. I mean he's

393
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: just a straight line Shanahan type bat. Yeah. So, I

394
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: mean that's what you're looking at their um tight ends. Now,

395
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: this is a spot where there's guys Trey Burton, no,

396
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: not a blocker, Tyler Eiffort, maybe Jordan Reid, no looker,

397
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: Jesse James Strong, possibility. Richard Rodgers, this guy we brought

398
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: up a couple of times. How old is he? Though

399
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: he's thirty, I was thinking he was like thirty three

400
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: years now, he's not that old. Mercedes Lewis, on the

401
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: other hands, old, but he'll be the league this year.

402
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: This is a guy here that's interesting. He's this guy.

403
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: He's a he's almost a pure blocker. But MIKEL. Prewett, Yeah,

404
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: he's not b old either. Can run a little bit.

405
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean he even can do some fullback for you

406
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: and some stuff like that. Can use them in some

407
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: different spots. Not bad. And then Darren Fells just got

408
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: cut loose last week by the kind of light fell. Yeah,

409
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: he's older than people think too. I think he's like

410
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: thirty two or thirties. But he's athletic. And yeah, Houston

411
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: tight end situation has always been odd. They never use

412
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: They collect a bunch of them and they don't use them.

413
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: They all kind of cancel each other out. I mean

414
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: league minimum or you know, one point five or something

415
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, yeah, Okay, the top remaining offensive

416
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: lineman available, Russell Ocum. He wasn't on the NFL dot

417
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: com list. That's odd. Um, I bet he'll be a

418
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: starting left tackle somewhere somewhere. He's kind of like al

419
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: not that they're similar. I mean he's a unique personality

420
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: from what I understand, you know what I mean, Like,

421
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: I think he represents himself and maybe he's exploring other

422
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: options in life too. Villain the Wave is number two

423
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: on that list. Collecchio Semile number three on that list.

424
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: He played well for a two games or something, and

425
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: then you get hurt, right, but he's had a lot

426
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: of injuries. Then you have Eric Fisher. One thing you're

427
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna know, there's four Kansas City Chiefs offensive alignment on

428
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: this list because you have Fisher. Then you get Austin

429
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: Blythe at five. He's a center from the Rams. Yeah,

430
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: he's been a starting center, but he's small. Mitchell Sworts

431
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 1: at six, Austin Writer at seven, I'm interested, Yeah, Dennis

432
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: Kelly at eight, pure swing tackle. I'd rather have Haig

433
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: Trade Turner at nine. One shocks me. He's still out there.

434
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: And then d J. Fluker at ten too big and slow. Yeah. Uh,

435
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: they're top remaining defensive players. They don't rank they just

436
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: they just rank all the defensive guys and they have

437
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: Darius Williams, he's restricted. Yeah, j C. Jackson restricted. So

438
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: they have Geno Atkins who's cut by the Bengals, is

439
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: their number one defensive guy, who's a free free agent.

440
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: He's now than that McCoy more career and he doesn't

441
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: fit necessarily. Uh, Genevian Clowney, Richard Sherman, Brian Poole, he's

442
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: slock corner. Yeah, I've I've been asked about him a lot. Well,

443
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers. How about the Steelers signed Brian Poole. I

444
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't hate it. He's more like

445
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: the draft goes through and didn't really get anybody, And yeah,

446
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: we know he can kind of hold down the fort.

447
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: Guy like he's not he's not selling tickets right. Number

448
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: seven's Olivier Vernon. He's coming off a torn achilles. He's

449
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: not going to play this year. One of his careers.

450
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: He won't play it all this year. Eight Melvin Ingram.

451
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: We talked about him. I loved at him in some capacity.

452
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: Then you have nine in Dunbar and Brelan. We talked

453
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: about them. Yeah, they're the same. Eleven Mackenzie Alexander m hmm.

454
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: Just a guy more of a slot wasn't right last year?

455
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: Twelve is Kuan Short thirteen a J Booyer. I don't

456
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: know what the problem was with him. Part of me

457
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: thinks he know he made a name for himself off

458
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: his opposite Ramsey for a year or two. Kind of

459
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. I wonder if he's not got

460
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: lucky but kind of caught lightning in a bottle for

461
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: a year or two. Um, because Denver was very quick

462
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: to cut him. But he was also a big contract.

463
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: It's a big contract. He's heard a lot last year

464
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: one year deal. I mean I wouldn't sign him by

465
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: a lot. Then after him you have Hooker and Alton Smith. Yeah,

466
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: and they just it's a clip just came across TV

467
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: that Alton Smith is not going to return to Dallas.

468
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean he flashed a little bit last year, but

469
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: that's not the fit either. No, I don't see that

470
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: being as much here. But their guys still available, especially

471
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: I think that defensive tackle market is a little bit

472
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: deeper than what those aren't gonna be the top ten

473
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: type of lists, you know, but there's names that nobody

474
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: was nobody getting real excited when Villain or when Alola

475
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: was signed. No, no, oh got they got tyson a

476
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: Lulu he was you know since picking the draft in

477
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: and there's there's like Peters who played in with Cardinals,

478
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: and the guys are better around the league that they're

479
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: like the fourth starter on your rotation that eats a

480
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: lot of innings and has a kind of higher But

481
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: you know that's fine standing in the middle of a

482
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: couple of blockers, look Cam and to it, go get go,

483
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: get the quarterback and embarrass themselves. You know, there's a

484
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: lot of those types out there. Yeah, so that's what's uh.

485
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: You know, the Steelers now have the cash available to

486
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: make a move like that. We'll see if that happens,

487
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: but that's gonna do it for this segment. Make a

488
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: trade if they couldn't happy out there. Yeah maybe yeah,

489
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,760
