1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome

3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson

4
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: and Matt. It's a Wednesday here in Pittsburgh and uh, well,

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: the Steelers making a little bit of news on Tuesday

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: by hiring uh Frisman Jackson as their wide receivers coach

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: without every announcing that I kill you, it wouldn't be back. Yeah,

8
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: it's a little show. I was gonna try to run

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: that by. He was like, what's going on with Mike?

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know any news? There is that a mutual thing?

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: I I don't know. Um. I talked about this all

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: the time the media, I mean, commenting on coordinators the

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: head coaches is hard enough, let alone a new wide

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: receiver coach hiring. However, in Cleveland with him exactly. You

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: know what I know about Frisbane was he I spent

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: a are with them, with the Browns. It's not like

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna remember me or I would recognize him at

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: this point, but the coaches raved about him. I mean,

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: he got everything out of the talent that he was

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: given and was a really hard work or a very

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: cerebral player. He was a favorite among players and coaches

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: when I was there, back when he was a player

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: many years ago. Yeah, and also say this for people

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: wondering about his background. Um. He coached with Matt Candidate

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: in northern Illinois. In North Carolina State. He also worked

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: with running backs coach atdie Falker in North Carolina State.

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: His coaches in Cleveland. He was there when Bruce Arians

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator. He was there when Terry or

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: Robinsky was the wide receivers coach. Um, you know so,

30
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: and he was there several years with Terry Robiski interim

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: head coach when Butch got fired. When I was there, right, Um,

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: so Robinski is a very respected wide receivers coach. UM,

33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: highly regarded. And so you know you're thinking, you know,

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: spending a few seasons with Terry Robiski, you might learn

35
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: a little something. That's a good point because I was

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: there with Terry. Again, they thought highly enough of Terry

37
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: to make him the interim head coach when I was

38
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: there when you fired. Um. Kind of a tough Southerner approach,

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: but really grabbed your attention, I'm sure. Frisman learned a

40
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: lot from him, and people wanted to remember. I mean

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: Robiski's son was a prospect as well. He's an Ohio

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: State guy that you know, did a little bit in

43
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: the league as well. So yeah, um, you know, so

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: you know it comes over from Matt Rules. Staff was

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: also with Rule at Baylor, Um coached in the NFL

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: previously with the Titans as well, and Mike Malarkey staff.

47
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: So there were a lot of ties there obviously with

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: that that Carolina Panthers organization right now with the Steelers

49
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: and the coaching with Mike Malarkey as well. Um, you

50
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: know the Bruce Arians connection. Uh, you know the connection

51
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: as other guys on the who are currently on the staff.

52
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: So for him running the rooneys and you know, right

53
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: right right, it makes sense. And I'll say this is

54
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: is an end of the roster guy who was making it.

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean he was never a star in the NFL.

56
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: Um you know, never uh, he was ever given anything.

57
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: He was never one of the top forty five players

58
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: on any roster that he was ever on. Right, got

59
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: safe to say I think he understood, he would probably

60
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: has a pretty good understanding of what it takes to

61
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: make it in the league. Um, you know, the special

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: team's aspect of things, how to how to put the

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: work in, as you said, you know, a hard worker. Um,

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: those are the things. It's almost like they hired Darius

65
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Heyward Bay without that, without Haywood Bay's high pro, high profile.

66
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: I should say, Um, you know he Hayward Bay was

67
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: a was a former first round draft pick. Well this

68
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: guy wasn't. This guy was a former college quarterback turned

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver turned you know, NFL wide receiver. I'm trying

70
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: to remember. I assume he did if when when I

71
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: was with Frisbane, if he played high percentage of special

72
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: teams or not. Was he a gunner or was he

73
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: a return er. He doesn't come across as the return

74
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: or jitterbuton type. But I'm sure he did some you know,

75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: logged some special team snaps. I would imagine, Again, those

76
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: guys don't make the roster without it. That's a good point.

77
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's been a very young room, and as

78
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: an outsider, I kind of think that they've missed the

79
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Hayward Bay presents a little bit, you know, just to

80
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: be in the adult in the room, plape feel. And

81
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure Hilliard provided some of that as well. But

82
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Frisbane makes some sense here. Yeah. Um,

83
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: so that hires now in place, the Steelers have a

84
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: few more to make here. We're still waiting on the

85
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: announcement of Arrell Austin as as we taped the show

86
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: here on the Wednesday afternoon as the defensive coordinator. UM.

87
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: That would then leave an outside linebackers coach that would

88
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: then leave uh you know, the two line U spots

89
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: as well on Mike Tomlin staff. Assuming, assuming other guys

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: haven't been replaced or or not brought back and we

91
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: weren't told that to me is the most I'm that

92
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: doesn't happen that way. I'm kind of shocked by that, actually.

93
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: I you know, when when the news came out yesterday,

94
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: when the when the Steeler said on the press release,

95
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: I immediately started texting people. I'm like, did I miss

96
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: something here? Did I miss an announcement that I wasn't

97
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: gonna be back? I got I got a little paranoid there. Um.

98
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, so I was told that this came about

99
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: um rather quickly. Uh so you know obviously, uh, there

100
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: was talks, you know, there were you know, conversations were

101
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: had or you know, there was there was some kind

102
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: of meeting in the minds it was best to part ways.

103
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: But anyways, UM, it's Super Bowl weak and that GM

104
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: opening to well, there there is that and there the

105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: Steelers are continuing to uh to talk to people about

106
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: that and that that is constantly changing here. But I

107
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: did want to talk about what's going to take place

108
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Thursday night in Los Angeles, Matt and that's the NFL Honors, uh,

109
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: where they announced all the winners of the major awards

110
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: in the league's here and I thought we'd look at

111
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: at the NFL dot COM's list. They had their thirty

112
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: seven people who worked there for NFL dot Com and

113
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: in some form or fashion, UM do their votes on

114
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: who they think will win m v P, Defensive Player

115
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: of your Offensive Player there, all those all those different awards.

116
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: So I thought we'd go over their votes see if

117
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: we agree with those or if we disagree with with

118
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: where they're going with that. Again, these announcements will be

119
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: made at the at the Honors event at nine o'clock

120
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, so we're kind of getting a jump

121
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: on this here. But looking at the m v P

122
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: real quick before you do as usual, you and I

123
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: didn't rehearse us or plan this out. You know, it's

124
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: not our style, but it just so happens. Earliest morning,

125
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: I was on Ross Tucker's podcast and we did the

126
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: same thing, and we didn't we didn't look at other thoughts.

127
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: It was like, Matt, who do you think? And then

128
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: he gave me his guy and we kind of battled

129
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: it out. So that was a fun exercise. So I'm

130
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: on top of this right now. I like this conversation. Okay,

131
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: all right, So the winner with eight team votes on

132
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com Aaron Rodgers to vote, Yeah, that would

133
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: be my vote as well. Tom Brady got eight votes,

134
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup got too, and Matthew Stafford got one. Well,

135
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: first of all, we should preface this, and I assume

136
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: this is still the case, but this is a regular

137
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: season award, you know, so Stafford and Burrow and these

138
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: guys that have done well in the postseason should not

139
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: influence them. And I think the votes were in after

140
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: the final week of the regular season. Um Ross was

141
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: leaning more towards Brady, which I got. I thought Rogers

142
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: was a little more of a slam dunk. I just

143
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: thought there was less around him and everyone's harping on boy,

144
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: but he stinks in the playoffs. That doesn't matter, right,

145
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: This is the regular season award. He was the best

146
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: player in the league, right, pulling the curtain back. The

147
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: people who vote on this, the fifty voters for the

148
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: Associated pressness is an Associated Press award. They put their

149
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: vote in that week after the regular season has ended. Yeah, right,

150
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: so nothing that happens in the playoff matters. So I agree.

151
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: I think we both agree Aaron Rodgers is the is

152
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: the guy and should be the guy. There. Yeah, Offensive

153
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, this was a little more interesting

154
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: it is. I vote is Cooper Cup. I mean, you

155
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: have a historic wide receiver year, and as your frefaces,

156
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm hesitant to give Offensive Player of the Year

157
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: or a quarterback. I just think that they dominate envy.

158
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: They get to win the MVP award, right right, right?

159
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: So I think Cupp was the best offensive player that

160
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a quarterback. He won the award. The votes here,

161
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: he gets votes. My vote would go to Jonathan Taylor,

162
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: and he was He finished second with two votes. Deebo

163
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: Samuel and Tom Brady tied for third. Okay, the Brady thing,

164
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean again, I'm a voting for a quarterback. You

165
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: missed your shot at the m d P. Yeah. I

166
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: just thought that that the if you took Jonathan Taylor

167
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: off of the out of that Colts offense, they had nothing.

168
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean he was and he was dominant

169
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: over the last I don't know twelve games of the season. Uh,

170
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Cup had a great year. I get it, Um, but

171
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: he also played that seventeenth game and that factors into

172
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: me as well. Um, he was great this year. I'm

173
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to take anything away from him, but

174
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: I thought Taylor was as well. Um. I think there's

175
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: more focus from the Colt's opponents to take Taylor away

176
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: than there is Cup. You know, you remember Woods was

177
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: there for much of the year of than Beckham. They

178
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: have a formidable run game. I mean, it's harder to

179
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: focus on Cup. I'm glad Deebo Samuel at least got mentioned.

180
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be my pick, but it just a tremendous year.

181
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: And along the Taylor lines, Derrick Henry was kind of

182
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: on that pace before injury, you know, so I just

183
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: want to throw him out there too. Yeah. I just

184
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: think you know, Taylor's if you're comparing Henry to Taylor.

185
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: Taylor gives you more in the passing game too. Uh yeah,

186
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean he he's just he's just a nice, well

187
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: rounded player. Um. Moving on to Defensive Player of the Year,

188
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: This one, of course, has a lot of attention here

189
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, and um, I think, uh, I think we're

190
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: both on the same page on this one. I'm sure.

191
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean t J would get my vote. However, I

192
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: do think there is an argument to say, in a

193
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's like fashion, it should just be Aaron Donald,

194
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he was no worse than he's

195
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: been any other year. He's maybe the best football player

196
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: on the planet. He's in his prime as an all

197
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: time great. But the numbers and the case for what

198
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: to me are stronger, They really are. Um, I will say,

199
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: and you know fans won't like hearing this, and they

200
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: didn't like when I said in a while back, but

201
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: Week twelve thirteen, Neighborhood, I would have given it the

202
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: Garrett over what but Garrett really floundered down the stretch.

203
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: I would I would. I just I mean, I thought,

204
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: what was just having a better year than Garrett? Period. Yeah,

205
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: I didn't because of the time missed, you know, but

206
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: it was closed at one point, and then you know,

207
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: Garrett Garrett essentially ended up missing the last four weeks

208
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: of the season even though he played. Yeah, he's not

209
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: even a conversation now, you know, right, that was a

210
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: difference to me. Their numbers were virtually the same, even

211
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: though what had missed some time. He was the more

212
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: disruptive player or the more productive player, I should say,

213
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: um per snap even when they were even when they

214
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: were twelve games into the season and what was what

215
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: was it ten games and Garrett was at twelve um

216
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: he was still beating he was still leading him in

217
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: total sacks. I know, I know, really since Jump Street,

218
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: what per snap was the most productive pass rusher in

219
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: the league? Oh yeah, I mean yeah yeah, uh he went.

220
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: He won the vote of the NFL dot Com media members.

221
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: Uh he got twenty votes. Aaron Donald got seven, Okay.

222
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa and Micah Parsons tied for third with one each. Okay.

223
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: Ross throughout Michael Parsons and said he would have voted

224
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: for what as well, And he made a good point

225
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: on Parsons, who I have a feeling we're gonna be

226
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: talking about here. In a minute, is they really stopped

227
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: rushing the passer with him the final month of the season.

228
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: You know, once they were healthy up front, he was

229
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: dropping into coverage an awful lot. Yeah, he would have

230
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: made a better case with more sacks and more pass

231
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: rush opportunities. I agree, I agree. But you know what

232
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: broke the sack record, which is kind of like leading

233
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: the leading Major League Baseball and home runs, you know,

234
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: and that's the that's the number that you know, you

235
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: can talk about it like nobody knows who the all

236
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: time intercept or who the single season interception leader is

237
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I covered a league and I couldn't

238
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: tell you who it is. I'm not positive. Um, you know,

239
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, every you know you can yeah, okay, people

240
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: know that. Um, sacks, Yeah, sack leaders. People know that.

241
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's a it's a high profile, uh statistic,

242
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: and you know what set the record, and you know

243
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: it was a phenomenal season. Twenty two and a half

244
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: sacks in fifteen games. Is is ridiculous. Offensive Rookie of

245
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: the year, Go ahead, last thing, I apologize that you

246
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: mentioned interceptions. The last thing I want to throw out.

247
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: There's some blad Digs didn't get any votes. Yeah, to me,

248
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: that means the panels pretty well informed, right, Yeah, I

249
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: mean you can't. You can't give up a thousand receiving yards,

250
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: right and win that award. I'm sorry, he just certainly

251
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: scanned offensive Rookie of the Year. Uh. Two guys got votes,

252
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase got twenty eight and Jalen Waddle

253
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: got one. I thought Matt Jones would have been the

254
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: one that got votes just because he's a quarterback's patriot. Um,

255
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: I too, I think we'd all vote for Chase. Waddle

256
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: was tremendous. Not as much of an impact though, I

257
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: mean many of his catches were I don't want to

258
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: say empty calories, but at the line of scrimmage, you know,

259
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's gonna be a tremendous player.

260
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: It's a good rookie class, including Nausea and Davante Smith,

261
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: and I think Javante Williams is gonna be a great player.

262
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: And I really think this quarterback class hasn't yet shown

263
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: its stripes. You know that Fields and Lands and Lawrence

264
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: are all have really bright futures. Still, UM, I am

265
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: a little surprised. Mac Jones didn't get a little love.

266
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: But Chase to me us the slam dunk. Well again,

267
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: this is this is the same thing that happens with

268
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: the m v P vote. You get one vote. Yeah,

269
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, so it's if it's a if it's a

270
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: situation like this. I mean, Chase finished to see the

271
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: regular season, his last couple of games from he had

272
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: monster games, and so that was fresh in everybody's mind.

273
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: And Jones started and it's badly and he ended badly.

274
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: That's what I was say. He just did, Yeah, struggled

275
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: down the stretch and and uh um, you know, really

276
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: pulled away that last month or yeah, I thought, I

277
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: thought Chase and Waddle He's to be played well down

278
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: the stretch as well, but not to the level of Chase. No, no,

279
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean he really separated himself. He looks like a

280
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: special player. Yeah, Defensive Rookie of the Year. This was

281
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: a unanimous selection. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I I don't

282
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know who else you you would even consider. Again,

283
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't do much worked before I do any of

284
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: these podcasts, whether it's with you or whatever, because I'm

285
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: always say by football day every day, and I remember

286
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: and when I was this morning when I went on

287
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: with Ross. I'm thinking, I hope he doesn't ask me

288
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: whose second, Like I don't even know. I mean, of

289
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: course it's Michael Parsons. I'm like, Holland was a nice

290
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: player for Miami. Phillips was okay for them, Like, yeah,

291
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know. There were some some okay, some

292
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: guys had some decent games, you know, um, you know,

293
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: but it just wasn't to the level. I'm just looking

294
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: here at that at that draft. Um, you know, Je

295
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: got hurt um. You know, they were the other top

296
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: defensive players to In fact, they were the top two

297
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: defensive players taken everybody else ahead of them in the

298
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: first aid picture offensive players right right, So it wasn't

299
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: a great defensive draft at the top. Was even considered

300
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: the slam dut Number one. Yeah, Zaven Collins didn't play

301
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: a lot uh game and had forty eight tackles. You

302
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: know that's that's okay, Eric Stokes, I guess you could

303
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: say what was was pretty good. Um. The two Dolphins,

304
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: to me, I thought were in the conversation for number two. Yeah, Holland,

305
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, was would be there. Uhlari at eight

306
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: sacks this year. I didn't realize he ended up with

307
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: that man. He's a keeper. Yeah, I mean, so maybe

308
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: give him a little bit. But it's still not close. Yeah, yeah,

309
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm close. I mean what I think is interesting and well,

310
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, we'll do a lot of mock drafts and stuff,

311
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: as we already have. I've seen some people mocking linebackers

312
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: to Dallas, you know, a guy like well, they seem

313
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: to like to collect them. They do seem to try

314
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: to collect them. But you know, at to Ross's point,

315
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: would they be better served just saying, hey, Micah, you're

316
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: an edge rusher, now forget about everything else, or drafting

317
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: an edge rusher and letting Parsons be what they drafted

318
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: and to be right, right, I mean he's capable of

319
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: all the above, which is any of them? Yeah, I

320
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: think it might be. In fact, we did our our

321
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: mock draft for Steelers dot Com that will release next week. Yeah,

322
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: and that was my thinking with that position. I had

323
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: them taking an edge dresser, I'm not gonna say who yet,

324
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: just to allow them to kind of use Parsons as

325
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: a as a queen on the chessboard. Um, then you

326
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: still have the opportunity to rush him off the edge

327
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: if you want, or you can, you know, bring him

328
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: up the middle, let him, let him drop into coverage,

329
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: do the things that you drafted him to do. People

330
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: forget they put him at edge dresher because everybody else

331
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: got hurt. Yeah right, all right, he began his football

332
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: life as an edge rusher. But he's under developed there.

333
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: You know. Ross's point was, well, what if we can

334
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: just let him do that and develop past fresh moves

335
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: and counters with the sky's the limit and versatility is great.

336
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: But I think both of you, gut have a very

337
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: strong point of maybe do one or the other instead

338
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: of both, right right, Yeah, just again just having the

339
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: ability to to do different things with him as opposed

340
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: to uh Man. I just think he's a football player.

341
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: What I find interesting is I've already heard of this

342
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: draft cycle. A lot of analysts are like, well, who's

343
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: the next Michael Parsons. You know, I don't know that

344
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna be something you can just find left and right.

345
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: I think he's pretty unique. Yeah, he might be a unicorn.

346
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Um that that's there's always that possibility. Comeback player of

347
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: the Year. This one to me, um, I I don't

348
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: know who they voted for, who do who would you

349
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: have voted for? Well, again, I had this conversation earlier

350
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: today and the two names I came up with, we're

351
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: Burrow and Dak. And I preface it by saying, I

352
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: kind of don't like this award because what are you

353
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: coming back from? Is it always have to be an injury?

354
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes guys come back from a down year, which basically

355
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: is kind of a backhanded compliment, like you kind of

356
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: stunk last year and now you got back to being okay.

357
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: I gave it the borough and I didn't factor in

358
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: the postseason, and you know, I just thought that it

359
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: wasn't all wasn't himself post injury. You end up having

360
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: a calf and you know, he fought through them some things.

361
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: I expect Dak to look like that next year when

362
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: he's a little further removed from the injury. And Burrow's

363
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: injury was pretty substantial and it was late in the year. See,

364
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: I would have voted for Dak Prescott. And here's why.

365
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: What was Burrow coming back from? How can you become

366
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: back Player of the Year when you've only played ten

367
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: games in the NFL? Yeah right, all right? You know, yeah,

368
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: what is what's the baseline. I don't know we ever

369
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: saw it. Um, you know, people talking about, well he

370
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: came back so much stronger. In fact, you don't know

371
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: that for sure. Oh I don't know about that. Yeah, yeah,

372
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean he he could have been this He could

373
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: have been this guy all along. He just didn't have

374
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: the same talent around him last year. Um. You know,

375
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is is he played ten

376
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: games last year as a rookie, whereas Dak Prescott was

377
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: was an established NFL player, got hurt and came back

378
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: from that, hence being Comeback Player of the Year. And

379
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is supposed to factor in. Again,

380
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: I'm not big on this award in general. But DA's

381
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: injury was gruesome, you know, Yeah, I mean it was

382
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: a scary one that you don't want your kids to

383
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: watch the injury like, so it carries a lot of weight.

384
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's many others, you know, like right right,

385
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: there's probably some offense offensive offensive lineman who never win

386
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: this kind of award because well they're not high profile players.

387
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: Right Again, I'm not big on this award. I mean,

388
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: I guess it's a good way to recognize someone that

389
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: overcame a hardship, but I don't know, I'm not big

390
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, uh, Coach of the Year. There were

391
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: three or three guys that got votes. Okay, it was

392
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: kind of this was actually the this was the closest vote.

393
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: I went a little outside the box here, Like Ross

394
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: was shocked when I said Sean payton Um. And my

395
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: thought was kind of on a Tomlin vane was you

396
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: almost got the Saints to the postseason without a passing game,

397
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, you know, like that they could have easily

398
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: bottomed out with a low level coach, much like the Steelers,

399
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: you know a couple of times in the last couple

400
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: of years, you know, the non Roethlisberger year or either

401
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: Tomlin's in the hunt for this one even this year too.

402
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: To get that he would he wouldn't get any votes,

403
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: but he finished nine seven and one with this team

404
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: that was dead last. Stopping the run. Yeah, that was

405
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: what's fat offense running the football. I mean most of

406
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: the time when that when those kind of numbers happened

407
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: to a team, you go, you you're lucky to win

408
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: six games, right right right? I don't think people look

409
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: at coaching the year that way. Like who maximized what

410
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: they had and in a way, I even think Baltimore

411
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: is in that conversation, like if you're gonna overcome all

412
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: those things and at least be in the hunt late

413
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: in the year like the Saints. That's why I always

414
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: talk about that Tomlin Harror Bob pay level coach, Like

415
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: you can throw a lot of bad stuff at them

416
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: and they still can hover around five. They find a way. Um.

417
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: That being said, my vote would have gone to who

418
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: won the award according to the NFL dot Com voters,

419
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel, Yeah, he did a lot of the same stuff.

420
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: I mean, he overcame the loss of of every you know,

421
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: when we went into the season, when the season started,

422
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, look at this. Look at this Titans offense.

423
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's Derrick Henry, it's Julio Jones. Just

424
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: it's it's Brown. Um, he didn't have those guys for

425
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: most of the year and fifty snaps together, and yet

426
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: they still had the number. They still the top record

427
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: in the a f C. Um Again, this is a

428
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: regular season award. I just I think he did an

429
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: outstanding job this year. Yeah, it was a strong case

430
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: for him, and I think he will win it. Um.

431
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: I also think that team has really taken on his

432
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: tough guy persona both sides of the ball. They're very,

433
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: very physical, both lines of scrimmage. Defense improved. UM. I

434
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: also think too, like Steelers played the Titans at one

435
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: point this year, and are the folks are listening? That

436
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: Titans team that the Steelers saw was really decimated and

437
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: the fact that that franchise got the first overall seat

438
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: in the a f C after watching that game is

439
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. Yeah. I mean they kept their head above water. Um,

440
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: winning just enough. I mean they beat the Rams, Uh,

441
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: they beat Kansas City, they beat Buffalo. I mean they

442
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: did some things this year. They had some great wins

443
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: and some terrible losses. They lost the Jets and I

444
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: think Houston. But yeah, absolutely, Zack helps a little bit too. Yeah,

445
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: Zack Taylor got thirteen votes to finish second and Matt

446
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: Lafleur got two votes to finish third. Okay, I'll take

447
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: Peyton over my two guys. Those two guys. Yeah, No,

448
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: I agree as Um. I agree as well. But that's

449
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna do it for this segment. Um, We're gonna take

450
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: a break when Matt and I come back Uh. Lance

451
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: hear Line did a unlock draft. Like to talk about that.

452
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: Lansa works for the NFL dot com as well. We

453
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: will do that right after this. You're listening to the

454
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio.
