1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: At least.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: Gold cast in Steelers Nation Radio.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: And welcome to the Drive.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 3: I'm Dale LOLLI he is the Matt Williamson And well

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: it's right around four o'clock here, Matt sure, and a

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 3: lot of unhappy campers around the NFL right now, is well,

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: this was the deadline for teams to cut down to

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: fifty three players.

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it also becomes a whirlwind too, because you

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: know your agents are getting called like crazy, and once

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: it comes knowledge of who's who's in and who's out, Well,

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: I can't believe that guy got cut. Let's try to

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: get him on the practice squad. Signing. I mean, practice

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: squads are bigger than ever. The signing guys is a

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: pretty big project. It's almost like when the draft ends,

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, when you try to get as many free

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents as you possibly can. So it sounds

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: like we're still waiting on final rosters.

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: Officials, official official, the official announcement yet from the Steelers.

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: Some things that we do know make a Fitzpatrick will

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: be on the fifty three man roster.

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, t J.

25
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 3: One will be on the three man roster. We're gonna

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: see Justin Fields and Russell Wilson on the fifty three

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: men roster.

28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: I think that's safe to say. Yeah, yep. There are

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: a couple of names around the league that are apparently

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: been cut, like a Deante or Dante Foreman, Cadarius Tony,

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Noah Brown. I wonder if there'll be more, you know,

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think, you know, back to your

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: point with the Steelers, I don't think they'll be big

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: name Steelers and those guys aren't huge names. But we

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: are getting a little bit of word here at exactly

36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: four o'clock. Here's what this is.

37
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: This is the time of year when agents start to

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: reach out to the national reporters and right, so and

39
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: so then reports.

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: You imagine like Adam Schefter right now, Yeah, everyone's my

41
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: ninetieth guy on a roster or got cut? Dude. Ten

42
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: people are interested in know they're not no.

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, the reporters then put it out

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: there that so and so got cut. No kidding, Yeah, yeah,

45
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: everybody knew this guy was going to get not a surprise.

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: Now bring up Foreman though, I mean the Browns kept

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: you said four quarterbacks, two running backs, and two tight ends. Yeah,

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: with Chubb not being one of the running backs. That's

49
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: odd behavior.

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, which tells me they probably have something else moving.

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: That's the other part of this whole equation, as you

52
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 3: just alluded to, is that the roster now at fifty

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: three men might not be the roster next week. Oh

54
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: and here's the other thing that happens with this. So

55
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: the guys who are vested veterans four more years of experience,

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: they immediately become become free agents.

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: They don't have to clear wave waivers, right.

58
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: But if they're on your opening roster, their contract then

59
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: for the year is fully guaranteed.

60
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Which is a pretty nice deal for you those guys.

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: Right if you're a borderline guy that just got cut.

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: So what's your going to see happen is a lot

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: after Week one games, a lot of those guys then

64
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: get signed.

65
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: Yes, well, well just wait a week. I will play

66
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: a game of chicken with the rest of the league

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: that wants to sign him because they don't want to

68
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: have that guarantee situation, or we're really bad and he

69
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: might have to play for us. Yeah, and we'll throw

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: him in there and we don't mind the guarantee. But

71
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: it's a league minimum deal, you know, But that is

72
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: a big deal for the older guys or the veteran dudes.

73
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you don't you know, you're essentially, you know,

74
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: signing a guy who hasn't played.

75
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: For you, right, and you know he's not a superstar.

76
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, if he's getting cut at this point, he's not

77
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: a star. And is he going to be on your

78
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: roster all year? That's what you have to weigh if

79
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: you're the general manager in that position.

80
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: Like I get a kick out of some of these

81
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: quarterback contracts. You know, how much is guaranteed? If you

82
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: sign Lamar Jackson to a huge deal, he's making the team.

83
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: You know, like his salary that year might not be

84
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: gall guaranteed, but it really is because he's not getting cut.

85
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: But these guys, it's a different deal. I mean, this

86
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: is probably not your fifty third guy. He I mean,

87
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: if let's let's say a pretty attractive nickel corner that's

88
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: in his fifth year is available right now, the Steelers

89
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,839
Speaker 1: thinks is better than anyone that they have available, offer

90
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: them a league minimum and say if he gets hurt,

91
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: we live with it, or let's see these two week

92
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: one and hope no one else snags them. So it's

93
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: a conversation a little bit.

94
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it is, as you just said, a game

95
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: of chicken for.

96
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: The obvious guys. Yeah. I mean there's yeah, like Foreman

97
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: out there. Maybe there's three teams to think he's a

98
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: better back than theirs. We're gonna go down that road

99
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: or not, you know, for.

100
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: Running backs it's a little different too.

101
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: There's also the thing with his injury history too. Yeah.

102
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: I mean you like, okay, is you know signing Deontay

103
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: Foreman in week one? Is that going to be what

104
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: puts us over the top? Probably not.

105
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: And I bet the Browns are thinking the same things.

106
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: We can live with him for without him for a week,

107
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: we're probably work back tomorrow. You can go back tomorrow too,

108
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: and we're probably working the phones for a quarterback deal.

109
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: We don't keep four. We think we're close with a

110
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: couple of teams. We'll take our chances.

111
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: Are surprised that when they started talking about and there's

112
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: been reports out of Cleveland that they're willing to move

113
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: Jameis Winston.

114
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: I didn't hear that. I heard dtr is the one

115
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: that they were trying to.

116
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: Oh no, the other guys they said basically any of

117
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: them except for Watson, but is unmovable.

118
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, that does surprise me. I mean, I think Winston's

119
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: a clear two. But what what was their plan when

120
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: they signed to anyway? Yeah, you know what I mean, they.

121
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: May be looking at this like, hey, we've trade him

122
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: to Minnesota and maybe get I don't know, a fifth

123
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: round draft pick out.

124
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: Of it, or maybe for instant I would think a

125
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: little less for hunt Ley. Dtr is the only cheap

126
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: one I would when they said his name. They're all cheap. Yeah,

127
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: but the one's on a rookie deal.

128
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 3: And yeah, but the other guys aren't signed long term. No,

129
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: they're not. They're not expensive by quarterback terms.

130
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: No. I bet Winston's making four or five. That's still

131
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: not expensive. Expensive though, But their room is so expensive

132
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: the brown I.

133
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: Mean there their room as a whole right now with

134
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 3: four guys, and it's over seventy million.

135
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: Dollar Number one the league. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

136
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Winston there's a chance he's our

137
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: best guy. I mean Flacco, but the aggressively here's the problem.

138
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: That they have. Oh, they got a big problem to that.

139
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: One of the reasons Flaco isn't there is because they

140
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 3: didn't want to damage the relationship with Watson, because there

141
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: were people in that locker room we thought they were

142
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: a better team with Flacco.

143
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: Right, and that was when their offense was at its best. Yeah,

144
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: short your point.

145
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 3: If there are people in that locker room who now

146
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: think Winston is better than Watson, right, they got issues.

147
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: It's a problem. Yeah, because you're you're flat out married

148
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: to Watson.

149
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: You're splitting your locker room down the middle. Yeah, and

150
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: I think that's one of the problem.

151
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Is exactly down the middle. But you're splitting it. You're

152
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: splitting it right, and well you put you're creating doubt. Yeah,

153
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: you know. And that was my big problem with Atlanta

154
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: Draft in Panix was Okay, I get that you want

155
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: to plan for the future, and I think their owner

156
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: came out and said, we never want to be in

157
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: the situation again after my Matt Ryan was no longer

158
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: in his prime and we didn't have any kind of

159
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: other options. I get that, But if Pennix is the

160
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: better player and Cousins hasn't practiced at all, the locker

161
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: room's gonna be like, why aren't we playing him? Yeah,

162
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, I think that happened

163
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: in my homes rookie year, that Alex Smith was a

164
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: really good player. But you're practice every day and you

165
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: see this guy in week twelve just slinging the ball around,

166
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: and you know he's not gonna start for you thinking

167
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Alex is great, We like him, but I want to

168
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: play with Pat Mahomes, right, and that just causes problems.

169
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you know, we'll see what happens, you know,

170
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: in those situations. Still waiting word on who exactly the

171
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: Steelers last cuts, are seeing some names bandied about. In

172
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: fairness of those guys, I'm not gonna.

173
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's worth it yet. Yeah, I'm sure

174
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: they'll they'll release it when it's official, you know.

175
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I won't be surprised by any of them necessarily.

176
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: I know, I'm surprised this guy got cut, surprised that guy.

177
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I've been paying attention. It probably

178
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: is a big surprise. Yeah, And I do think this team,

179
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: whenever it does come out that fifty three could still

180
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: be in the market for adding somebody else. Yeah, I mean,

181
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that this for this specific team is

182
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: close to being a set roster. Between the next couple

183
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: of minutes when we find out and opening day in Atlanta,

184
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: I bet there's something that happens.

185
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: They'll be moved. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. You know.

186
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: It's just I mean, I would be shocked if of

187
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 3: the thirty two teams in a league, twenty five of

188
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: them don't make.

189
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: Some kind of roster adjustment. Yeah, that's just what happens. Yeah,

190
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: and even when somebody goes this usually happens later in

191
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: the year. But people build their practice squads, which again

192
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: is a big project right now. You can even pluck

193
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: them off practice squads early, you know, but you got

194
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: to keep them on your roster all year. But I mean,

195
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: you were pretty high on that guy. You have to

196
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: keep three games if you sign them up for practice squad, gotcha.

197
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: So it's true, which it might not be bad if

198
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: you got a nickel corner injury. Yeah, or well, and

199
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: that's way.

200
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: Now, that's the next shoe to drop here because those guys,

201
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: all the young guys have to clear waivers. So after

202
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: twenty four hours and then the next step is building

203
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: your practice squad by four o'clock to starting at four

204
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: o'clock tomorrow.

205
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we won't. When we're on the air at

206
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: four tomorrow, there's a slight chance to see what's practice

207
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: squad will be built from. Probably know some of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

208
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: but it usually takes a day or two before all

209
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: those guys signed because they're waging options.

210
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: And I'll be honest, I know, you know, over the years,

211
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: I've had a lot of people, you know, guess who's

212
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: gonna be on a practice squad. I don't care, very

213
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: literally don't care.

214
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: There's a couple guys like I'll throw out, like a

215
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: WindMan who I don't think will probably make the team,

216
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: but he did stuff in camp. I would love to

217
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: bring him back. And I look at it two ways,

218
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: like in case of injury, he knows things and we

219
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: have some familiarity with him, and he is familiarity with

220
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: us all that, but I also would like to see

221
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: him in camp now next year, you know, right, So

222
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: I think there's some value in that, like maybe he

223
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: gets a little better and you're a little little weaker

224
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: at that spot. And I can probably come with five

225
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: or six names, but not a whole practice squad of

226
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: those well, and the practice squad is just that.

227
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: I think sometimes people misconstrue what the practice squad is about.

228
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: It's a practice squad. That's why it's called the practice squad.

229
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: It's so you have enough players to practice because you

230
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 3: don't want, for example, Nausea Harris and Jalen Warren aren't

231
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: going to go out there and run scout team running

232
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 3: back stuff.

233
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: No, no, right exactly. That's what's nice about the bigger

234
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: squads now too, is you're not that it's embarrassing, but

235
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean you had to ask some pretty high quality

236
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: players in the past to be the other eleven. Yeah.

237
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to feel the whole other team,

238
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: especially if you're number one these especially once you get.

239
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: In the reason somewhere else seven and you've got some injuries.

240
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: Aren't practicing that day, and it's not like, hey, Cam

241
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: Hayward can give us a look jersey.

242
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 3: On and uh yeah, you know, go be DeForest Buckner

243
00:10:59,080 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: this week and.

244
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: Hopefully it helps you develop players a little bit too,

245
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, a project offensive lineman. I always think about

246
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: lineman and quarterbacks that plumblely. You know, if you get

247
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: to keep him around for a year. You hope he's

248
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: a better player.

249
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: And the Steelers have had some success doin Yeah, yes, I.

250
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: Mean I'd love for him to be on the practice

251
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: squad for a couple of reasons, because he can do.

252
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: He could be a pseudo running back. He could be

253
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: a return guy for the other team. I mean, like

254
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: for the practice squad. Certainly an athletic quarterback. But he

255
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: might also get better between now and next to your

256
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: training camp, and maybe he's your three.

257
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: Well, I have the roster cuts out. Okay, good, but

258
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: let's take a break before we we think get to them.

259
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: Then we'll dig into that once we do that. He

260
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lollie. You're listening to

261
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: the Drive on the Steelers Audio Network. We're going to

262
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: take a break. We'll be back with more right after this.

263
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 2: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

264
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven Home of the Black and

265
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

266
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: And we are back. I am Dale lay. He is

267
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: the Matt Williamson And as promised, I have the Steelers

268
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 3: hot off the press. As they trimmed down to fifty

269
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: three players. The moves that included or were made include

270
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: placing rookies Ryan Watts and Julius Welshoff on the reserve

271
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: injured list.

272
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I was worried about that.

273
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: With Watts, well his it looks like he's done because

274
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: they put two other guys on the reserve injured list

275
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: but designated them for return. Okay, that's Dylan Cook Okay,

276
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 3: the offensive tackle and linebacker Jeremiah Moon.

277
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: Interesting, he hasn't played much lately, and I assume it's

278
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: because of injury related Yeah, okay, I think those guys

279
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: are valuable. Yeah, nice, they're still around, all right?

280
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: Waived where linebackers Kyen Johnson, Luquaid Washington, Jacobe WindMan, Marcus Haynes.

281
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: Defensive guys that I wouldn't mind bringing back, though, defensive

282
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: back Zion Gilbert and Thomas.

283
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: I thought he had a chance, but yeah, that wasn't

284
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: super impressed.

285
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: On the defensive line, it was Wellington, Prevalon and Jacob Slade. Okay,

286
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: Offensive lineman Tykem Dass, Joey Fisher, quarterback John Rice Plumbley,

287
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: running back Aaron Shamkin, and Jack Kalletto the fullback.

288
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you didn't think had a good shot and

289
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: you nawled.

290
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: It tight end Matt Sokel and Rodney Williams.

291
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully Williams gets Williams press back in the practice squad

292
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: unless somebody else because there's a special teams ability.

293
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: At wide receiver Jerray Jenkins, Deuce Watts, des Fitzpatrick.

294
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Quas Watkins was earlier today, right, Uh, well these

295
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: are different he's a vested veterans. Oh right, right, Oh,

296
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: these are rookies only. Yeah, those are rookies or younger

297
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: guys who weren't vested. Uh.

298
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: They terminated the vest of veterans were Quas Watkins and

299
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: then running backs Michael Peter Hine and Jonathan Ward.

300
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I wouldn't mind grabbing one of those backs back

301
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: or two.

302
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And as I mentioned, they placed two guys and

303
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: then also or placed four guys on the engine reserved list.

304
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 3: Two of those, Cook and Moon have the designation of

305
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 3: return and then placed on the PUP list Cole.

306
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: Hlcomb Okay, so that's promising that he might yeah be

307
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: coming back then. Okay, I think that's the news you

308
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: want to hear on HULKMB. So there you go. So

309
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: what's that leave us? Well, now you're asking me, I

310
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: don't have all that updated yet. Come on, man, that

311
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: just happened, So I think we could figure it out.

312
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: Lee was a guy I thought was on the bubble,

313
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: but so they must have kept louder Milk and Lee. Yeah.

314
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: So I'm just thinking my fifty three had Watts on it,

315
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: had Coletto on it, and had Gram on it, but

316
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: it didn't have Lee or Mark Robinson. Right, there's somebody

317
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: else that I'm missing that wasn't on mine. That must

318
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: have made it. Trying to think who that might be.

319
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: I'd Cook on mine too, Yeah, you had Dylan Cook

320
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: and so it looks.

321
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: Like it should be more spots available than there should be.

322
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: Two spots I'm not accounting for. From the sounds of it,

323
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: you put me on the spot here, I know, I know.

324
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: I thought they just have the roster with with the announcements.

325
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: They all just happened, I mean literally just happen. Happen,

326
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: all right. So you're at receiver.

327
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: You got Pickens, Van Jefferson, Calvin, Austin, Roman Wilson, Scottie.

328
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: Miller, Okay, got five five receivers.

329
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, your offensive line?

330
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: How many offensive linemen?

331
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: Damn Moore, Broder, Jones, Sam Olows, Zach Frazier, James Daniels, Fatanu, McCollum, mccollumn, Okay,

332
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: that was one I didn't account for. McCormick, Spencer Anderson.

333
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I cook on there, not McCollum. Yeah, right, all right,

334
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: so they both have the boat still Steelers.

335
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the four tight ends, yeah, the three quarterbacks, three

336
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: running backs, three running backs. Yeah, so that's the offense

337
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: save three specialists, right, an extra defensive lineman that I

338
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 3: didn't account for. Yeah, the defensive line is ok and Joeby, Benton, Hayward, Lowry, Adams, Lee,

339
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,119
Speaker 3: Al Lee, and Loudermilk.

340
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't think Lee and louder Milk would make it.

341
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: So is that eight if you count Lee Al's a

342
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: d lineman, it's pretty heavy.

343
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but right now you're counting them. I think more

344
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: as an outside.

345
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Line because I think there's only three other outside linebackers. Okay,

346
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: that's a lot of big people. On what Hi Smith

347
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: herbig at outside linebacker. With Leel being capable it.

348
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: Inside linebacker, you have five, right, Queen Roberts, Wilson, Matti, Kavis, Robinson. Yes,

349
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: I had only kept four and then they kept one

350
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: fewer cornerback than what you thought, right.

351
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: I also had Watts. I had Watts and Graham making

352
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: the team, but I didn't have an extra D lineman. Yeah,

353
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: so that adds up. So we got Fitzpatrick, Elliott, Killer

354
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: brew Kz or probably the only safeties you think.

355
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: You get, Killer brew Kz, Elliott, Fitzpatrick, Jalen Elliott did

356
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: not get cut.

357
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: Ah, okay, that's it was one short somewhere. Yeah, but

358
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: he played a ton lately. They must have been happy

359
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: with what he did, some plays on special teams. Yeah, exactly.

360
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: He's a veteran, he's been around.

361
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, and if Watts is out for the year,

362
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 3: then yeah, that adds up.

363
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: Okay. I would think if I'm him, I wouldn't be

364
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: celebrating too much yet, though, I mean, if if somebody's

365
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: to go, like you said, I mean, the fifty three

366
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: doesn't usually stay the fifty three for long.

367
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: It just makes me wonder about the Wats injury, because

368
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: that's unfortunate.

369
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: I had hopes for him.

370
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was one that they Mike Tollman said it

371
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: was a stinger after the game. If it were just

372
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 3: a stinger, he probably doesn't I are.

373
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think so either. I mean, maybe that ended

374
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: up being worse, and now they don't have to tell

375
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: you exactly right the whole details of it. It's just

376
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: on IR five corners. Then is the last position, right

377
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: Porter Jackson, Trice Rush.

378
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bishop, Yeah, okay, that adds up.

379
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: In that case, you probably add somebody there possibly. That's

380
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: why I'd be a little worried if I was the

381
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: other Elliott in safety, because I don't know if he

382
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: has any slot capabilities.

383
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: He's more of a free time.

384
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: I thought, here's more of an off the ball gay. Yeah, okay,

385
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: but if he's a really good on the touch of teams,

386
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: that's your saving grace.

387
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're but you've already got killer Brew.

388
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: I also think they might have an extra D lineman.

389
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I think that's that could be something that

390
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: happens there.

391
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: You're not going to go with eight, I would think.

392
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think even though Leo has versatility, at least

393
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: two of those big guys are inactive on game day. Yeah.

394
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: This this fifty three kind of screams to me that

395
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: there's going to be some.

396
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: There's probably move or too. Yeah. The more we break

397
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: it down. There's room for another receiver if you wanted

398
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: to keeping six isn't crazy. There's definitely room to lose

399
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: a D lineman. Yeah, you have Moon loom backed. I

400
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: would for a couple of weeks.

401
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 3: I would guess that if they did at another receiver,

402
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: it might be a D lineman that.

403
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: Gets Yeah, and say, there's a lot of big bodies

404
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: that you don't they can't play teams barely, you know,

405
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: and you could live without Louder Milker Lee. To me,

406
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: Or's probably a fringe guy at the moment. Probably Lee.

407
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: I would think I would six round draft pick that. Yeah,

408
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: and you probably get him to your practice squad. Whereas

409
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: if you know, if you release Dean Dean Lowry, you

410
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: probably you're not.

411
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: Going to get him back. I wouldn't think so, I'm

412
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: not going to put him on a practice squad. Is

413
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: there a team out there saying, hey, we'll give you

414
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: a six for Lowry that they're working on or I

415
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: doubt doubt it. I mean he'd even play enough. Yeah,

416
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's doing that for Louder Milker Lee. Yeah. Yeah,

417
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean I think those are released get him to practice.

418
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: Well, And I think with in Lowery's case, he's your

419
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 3: he's your number three nose tackle.

420
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: M you can do it if he has to. Yeah. Yeah,

421
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: so no, not a lot of surprises. I'd be shocked

422
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: if there aren't more moves to come, though. Yeah. I mean,

423
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: I definitely think there will be.

424
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: You know, uh, some veterans there that didn't make the cut,

425
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 3: Quays Watkins being one of those.

426
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: Anywhere you're awfully small at wide receiver, small and fast,

427
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: but you're small. Yeah, if some physicality wouldn't hurt Noah Brown.

428
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: You know somebody like that that's been around, that's thicker

429
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: and stronger, has a little bit more toughness to him.

430
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if he plays teams, but somebody like

431
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: that that isn't gonna be as good as Boyking, but

432
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: a physical receiver that might be able to run down

433
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: on kickoffs or pints would be interesting.

434
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: I can tell you if he's played any teams, Matt

435
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: all right, cold figures need to ask these things and

436
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 3: then I know he has the mentality.

437
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: I want to say.

438
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 3: He did so early in his career, yes, okay, In fact,

439
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: is recently as two thousands or twenty twenty twenty and

440
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, two hundred and seventeen special team snaps

441
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one hundred and seventy nine and twenty

442
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: twenty one.

443
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: That's fair amount.

444
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, last two years, it's not as much. Okay, he's

445
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 3: playing more offense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, he's the guy

446
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: i'd be interested in. Yeah, maybe at the expense of

447
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: a D lineman or even Scottie Miller straight up possibly.

448
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 3: You know, he's not great, but he's would be a contributor. Yeah,

449
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: you know, I think he would. He would help. I

450
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 3: think he's probably so you.

451
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Got in a crowded room, yeah, Houston, Yeah, I would

452
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: think several teams are interested in him.

453
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: I would think so. But that wide receiver position. We've

454
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: seen so many young guys come into the league in

455
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: recent years. I mean, there are some bad rooms. When

456
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: people talk about the Steelers room being like Chargers are ridiculous,

457
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: Chargers is really bad. I've seen people rank the Bills

458
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 3: receiving room ahead of the Steelers. They don't have a

459
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 3: George Pickens.

460
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: No, they may have a I'm not sure they even

461
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: have two's. I think they have a bunch of threes. Yeah,

462
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: at the moment, at least I definitely think so there's

463
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: a couple of rooms that are really rough. But you're right.

464
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: I mean, most teams draft a receiver most years, sometimes two,

465
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: and almost every team's probably drafted one over the last

466
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: two or three years.

467
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 3: And I just wonder if we would feel different about

468
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: the Steelers wide receiver room if Roman Wilson had missed

469
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: so much time.

470
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I better, it'd be better. Yeah, I mean at

471
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: least and that's still looming too. So there's a couple

472
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: of things out there that it'll hopefully pay off in

473
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: the future. Is maybe Hulcom comes back at some point,

474
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, Sutton is coming back halfway through the year.

475
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: Wilson could be in the mix at some point. Guys,

476
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: we haven't really seen if you need them. Maybe Moon

477
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: is your fourth outside linebacker if there's an injury or

478
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: something like that, you know, And and he's also a

479
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: special team and he's played in the league. And I

480
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: would think Cook comes back and goes on the active roster,

481
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: you know. So there are some additions coming that are

482
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: alway on the team. Yeah.

483
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 3: So again, you know, you just have to basically get

484
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 3: through the first month not have any other injuries on

485
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: top of what you're you've dealt with already hopefully, and

486
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: he'll be. The injuries that they've had though aren't to

487
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 3: frontline guys other than the.

488
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: Herbig Injurytano to some point, but he's gonna be back.

489
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm talking about long term guys are going to

490
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 3: miss actual time in regular season, like.

491
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: You're truly going to be missing them for extended stretches

492
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: of regular season play. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, it

493
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 1: would be great to have the two rookies that you've

494
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: drafted in the first and third round to be out

495
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: there all this practice time, get a lot more reps

496
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 1: under their belt, be ready to go Week one, and

497
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: know what you have by rookie standards. But other than that,

498
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: the Forojokos and her BIG's you can live with.

499
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean, they're they would have been

500
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 3: helpful to have them on your roster, But at the

501
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: end of the day, Fjoko was on the practice squad

502
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 3: last year and her Big barely played.

503
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: And I like her Big, but I looked at him

504
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: as if he were healthy right now, he would be

505
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: a trade candidate for me. Yeah, I mean, because backup

506
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: center slash guard that could start its handful of teams,

507
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: maybe he turns into a pick anyways. Yeah, yeah, okay,

508
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: so not a lot of huge surprises.

509
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: I texted you this during the game. I wanted to

510
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: ask you about this. We didn't get a chance to

511
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: talk about it directly, but I texted you this during

512
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 3: the game the other night. How many teams around the

513
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: league do you think Nick Herberg would start.

514
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: For a lot? And he would definitely be the Bryce

515
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: Huff Hassan Reddick old guy, you know, like I don't

516
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: know if every defensive coordinator'd be thrilled with him out

517
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: there first and ten against Derrick Henry, you know what

518
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, but he would play forty plus snaps

519
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: for half the league, Yeah, you know, so situational plus

520
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, like some first and tens or whatever too.

521
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: He's a good pass rusher, is a good pass rusher,

522
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: and it's amazing if you look at every one of

523
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: his games preseason or not in a Steeler uniform, the

524
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: amount of pl he makes per snap is bonkers. I mean,

525
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: it's higher than what I mean, It's higher than like anyone.

526
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying a.

527
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 3: Lot of times he's out there against the backups he

528
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: dominates them.

529
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: But he dominates them. You if you know very little

530
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: about the game, who's that guy? You know, like he

531
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: makes a play every time, and then you look at

532
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: the end of the game, like he played eight snaps.

533
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy to disappear if you played eight snaps.

534
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: He had a hurry, a sack and a tip ball,

535
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: and he played a dozen snaps that game, you know,

536
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: like it's every time, even in the regular season.

537
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 3: No, I mean, that's that's one thing to me that

538
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: stood out about him on his tape from Wisconsin. Yes,

539
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 3: and there was a lot of well, he's his arms

540
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 3: are too short to do this, he's too small to

541
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: do that.

542
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: Like how funny is that. There's a lot of draft

543
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: experts that we really respect thought he might be an

544
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: off the ball guy or like even when the Steelers

545
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: took him, like is he Timmins. No, I'm not saying

546
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: he couldn't even do it. You know, maybe he could

547
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: operate from an off the ball position with high Smith

548
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: and Watt with they're hand on the ground, who knows.

549
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: But I mean he's pretty une good doing he did it.

550
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: I rushes the passer really well, really really well. And

551
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: again I wouldn't what I'm holding up on rundowns a ton.

552
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean he is thinner and he's not James Harrison thickness, strength,

553
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. But man, every team in the

554
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: league would use him a lot, a lot, yeah. Yeah,

555
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: and some teams in particular which would scream for him. Yeah,

556
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: he would. He would fit in with the Eagles. Oh

557
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: right now again, like like those Eagles. Jets go eight

558
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: deep with your D line and all shapes and sizes,

559
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: situational type dudes that invest a lot in their D lines,

560
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: and he'd be rice off. Yeah. I mean, I don't

561
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: know if it end up with fifteen sacks or fifteen

562
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: sacks like Reddick and Huff, but I bet he'd have

563
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: eight to ten. Yeah, given a chance to run, Yeah,

564
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: that's all he does. And fresh, constantly fresh, something like that. Yeah.

565
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: So they are young at cornerback. M hmm.

566
00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 3: I would expect on the corner. Yeah, smalllett receiver and

567
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 3: young at corner A little abundant.

568
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: That's the line too. There are something there's some areas

569
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: I think they pay attention to. Any chance you go

570
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: get a different fullback, yeah, I don't. I think the

571
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: ship probably sailed on that.

572
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: You're carrying four tight ends and those guys.

573
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: Can do that stuff. They can do that stuff. I mean,

574
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: it would have to be an accomplished You know, he's

575
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: a great special team guy. What from a couple of years,

576
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: there's like five of those in the league. Most teams

577
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: don't even carry one. Yeah, you know, there's not many

578
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: of them getting cut right now either.

579
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: And this doesn't this doesn't mean you can't put Koletto

580
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 3: on your practice.

581
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: I would bring him on, yeah, yeah, boy, Ravens are

582
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: going to be a big fullback game. Yeah boy, you

583
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: bring him up for the first game and he's crushing people, like,

584
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: maybe we'll leave him up here.

585
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, that's what happened with with Coto. Yeah, that's

586
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: what happened with Rodney Williams last year. Exactly when friar

587
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: Mouth got hurt, they brought him up on the active roster.

588
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: He's making special teams plays, and they're like, we got

589
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 3: to keep this guy in the active roster.

590
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: And you probably remember camp last year. He was one

591
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: of those names like I didn't know who he was

592
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: when I got to camp, but pretty shortly after you did. Yeah,

593
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: and then every day he's making a play or two

594
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: like he works hard, Like I hope he's still with

595
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: the organization.

596
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 3: No, you would hope that would be the case unless

597
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 3: somebody could offer him a job.

598
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: There's enough preseason tape out there that.

599
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 3: There's enough good tape of him on making special teams

600
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 3: plays last year.

601
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: That exactly exactly. I mean, there's plenty to go off

602
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: of on him. I don't know it's a guarantee that

603
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: he slips through waivers. Yeah, may'd be cheap. I'm sure

604
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: there's some team out there that lost their third tight

605
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: end that we're not paying attention to. Why we just

606
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: mentioned Cleveland's only caring too caring too right, I mean,

607
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure that there's guys that are older or didn't

608
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: work out or whatever. You know.

609
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Steelers roster for now has been set, so

610
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 3: we know a little bit more about you know, what

611
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: we're looking at here is they head into uh they

612
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: got to practice day tomorrow, Yeah, and then they'll be

613
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: off Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday before they come back on

614
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: Monday and start prep.

615
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: For the opener. Start digging into the Falcons on the Falcons, Yeah,

616
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: against the Falcons. We had to go. Maybe we are

Speaker 1: here's who they cut to and what their roster's looking like.

619
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Probably a lot of names we don't know, of course. Yeah,

620
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, taking the opponent.

621

Speaker 3: dot Com cuts tracker here. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go

633
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: down through some of these guys who have been released

634
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: in I.

635
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: Mean there's probably twelve names that are interesting.

636
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Frank Gord Junior got cut in a good preseason.

637
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a good preseason, and I bet he's

638
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: we even heard the last of him.

639
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he probably ends up with somebody's Yeah.

640
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

641
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: The Bills also cut kJ Hamler.

642
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: I saw that too. I wonder if that ship's about sailed. Yeah,

643
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: he's smaller, smaller, and never really fit in from the beginning.

644
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be an answer here for me. I don't

645
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: think he's an upgrade or the big enough to ride

646
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: to ride for what I'm looking for either. Yeah.

647
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: The Dolphins surprisingly cut quarterback Mike White.

648
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: I think that happened a couple of days. Happened a

649
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. Yeah, they gave him money not

650
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: long ago. Yeah, the young kid. I know. They like

651
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: Tom Thompson. Yeah. O'Dell's also starting on pop Yeah, no

652
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: shock there. You know. Bailey Zappy got cut. I thought

653
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: they might get a pick for him, not from any

654
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: team I'd be in charge of, but I thought someone

655
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: might give him a six or seventh round pick for him.

656
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: Bailey Zappy, man, I mean he's a little dainty type.

657
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, keep Joe Milton.

658
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 3: The Patriots also cut defensive lineman Mike Purcell. He's been around.

659
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. I wonder if he's like has Na for the

660
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: chronic stuff, because he's one of those grinder yeah, you know,

661
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: inning eaters.

662
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 3: They also cut linebacker Steel Chambers.

663
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 1: He had some I think we drafted him once in

664
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: our mock draft way Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ohio State kid.

665
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: Looking at some Ravens stuff here. They cut Russell Gage.

666
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: I bet he sticks around, but didn't they just sign

667
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: him recently? Yeah? Maybe, and so I think he might

668
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: have been out there for he hasn't.

669
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 3: Played in a couple of years, but did have a

670
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: really good season a couple of years ago in twenty

671
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: twenty one. I think for Arthur Smith.

672
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, pure slot. I don't think he's dynamic

673
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: enough anymore to be a punt returner, but he does

674
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: a punt return history, and he's not gonna be a

675
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: gunner for you. Yeah, not enough skill set there.

676
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: Looking here at the Bengals cuts. They cut quarterback Logan Woodside.

677
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: He's been around for a while. Yeah.

678
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: Offensive tackle Jack Harmon.

679
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was when we weren't sure about that. Shocked

680
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: him and mentioned that name a couple of days ago. Yeah,

681
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: see you here, anybody else? I think he was a

682
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: second round pick, Yeah, Jackson Carmen. Yeah, tackle a college

683
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: moved the guard was never really good at it.

684
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 3: Defensive tackle Carlos Davis got cut by them. Defensive end

685
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: Andre Carter. Is that the kid from Army?

686
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: That's the Army dude?

687
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Shaka Hayward, who is Cam Hayward's and Connor Hayward's

688
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 3: first cousin outside linebacker. That's really the only guys that mentioned.

689
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: The Browns cut Deonta Foreman.

690
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: Also really would be more happened with them. Four quarter

691
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: or four quarterbacks, two running backs, two tight ends.

692
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 3: Wide receiver James proche Mm hmm.

693
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: I forgot he was in the league, but it kind

694
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: of liked him early in his career. Is yeah, shifty

695
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: slot machine type.

696
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: Cut the Jalen Darden, the wide receivers, a rookie.

697
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: Ar yeah, yeah sers a second year guy, he might

698
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: be a second name Marshall Leaner fast.

699
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 3: They cut offensive tackle Jermaine Iffetti.

700
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: A lot of time to wonder if there's some sort

701
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: of injury stuff with him.

702
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: He signed him late when they were having all those injuries.

703
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: That sounds right to me. Yeah, and now they just

704
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: enter space for Yeah, I could see him. Those guys.

705
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Jason Peters is like the best example ever.

706
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: But the fans and some of these tackles.

707
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: If somebody will sign him and you know they'll have

708
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 3: a rash of injuries. He's the guy that's played in

709
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 3: the league and.

710
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: Give him two weeks, two or three weeks after a

711
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: couple of tackle injuries, and he'll be on someone's team

712
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: and then you won't be back the next year. You know,

713
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: he'll finally draft them.

714
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 3: They cut defensive tackle Siakika. That didn't last very long.

715
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: No, just can't play the past. Yeah, he was the

716
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: second round pick. He was a high one. Yeah, let's

717
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: see anybody else of note. I don't see. That's a Brownie.

00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 3: Time long snapper rex Sonny Hera. He's been around a

719
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 3: little bit, moving on to the AFC South. You mentioned,

720
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 3: uh Noah Brown.

721
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big one.

00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: They also cut defensive tackle McTelvin.

723
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: A game okay, Yeah, he's had a decent career.

724
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: Uh the Colts they have released nobody of him. Safety

725
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 3: Ronnie Harrison.

726
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: Okay, confused with Rodney Harrison right right.

727
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 3: Jacksonville quarterback C. J. Bethard, quarterback E. J.

728
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: Perry. So they trimmed down there.

729
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, wide receiver Josh Cephas, wide receiver Denzel Mims who, yeah,

730
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 3: it might.

731
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: Be done for him.

732
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 3: Maybe a defensive tackle Jonathan Marshall, another former steel former

733
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: Steeler there and Fringy for a while.

734
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: Linebacker Tanner Muse another Yeah, right, former Steelers. Looks like

735
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: their game plan.

736
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 3: Cornerback Trey Flowers mm hmm. Not super fast, super fast,

737
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 3: but he's a slot guy. Yeah, he's got some toughness

738
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: to him. Might be worth investigating kicking the tires on.

739
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: They also cut safeties Terrell Edmonds and Adrian Amos. I

740
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: got asked about Edmonds. He's been with a lot of

741
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: teams in a short amount of time. All of a sudden, Yeah, this.

742
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 3: Was his third team in the last two years.

743
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: Got traded and some weird stuff has happened.

744
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 3: To Josh Proctor to the safety so.

745
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: Okay, No, it was Edmund's better than Elliott, the second

746
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Elliott if he can play teams. You know, I remember

747
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: him being much of a team er, but he played

748
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: every single because he played. He started immediately as a rookie. Yeah,

749
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: he was like a top of the league in terms

750
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: of snapcounts too. Yeah. I don't know, and I don't

751
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: think has he lost something that we don't know about.

752
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 1: He was never great, but he was never terrible either.

753
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's solid. That was Tennessee that cut him, No,

754
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: that was Jacksonville Edmunds. Yeah, Okay, Tennessee moved on from

755
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: cornerback Caleb Farley.

756
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: I know, boy, they had some really first round picks

757
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: that they got nothing out of twelve games, and he

758
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: was damaged goods when he came out, but like he

759
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's easy to say it now, but like

760
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: if he didn't get hurt, people talked about him as

761
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: a surefire top ten pick, and I wonder if that's

762
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: all medical. Yeah, he's like six three, four to two.

763
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, five star recruit body, beautiful corner you.

764
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 3: Know, Kansas City Chiefs Kadarius Tony. I'm not interested, no

765
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 3: interested in him whatsoever. He's not got a wide receiver

766
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 3: or w R next to his name.

767
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: He's not. He's like an athlete, you know, a recruit guy.

768
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: Which is great for college, not so great for the NFL.

769
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: Uh.

770
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 3: They also cut cornerback Calvin Joseph.

771
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: Guys, he's been around. Chance he might not be done yet,

772
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: see the we don't have everything yet. But no, but.

773
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 3: Just looking here, Alex Leatherwood got cut by the Chargers.

774
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll even get picked up again? I

775
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: don't think so. I bet not. That's a first round pick,

776
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: not that long ago. Yeah, he's just not good. It

777
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: is not good. They also cut Uh. Realized he ended

778
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: up with the Chargers.

779
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know that was Yeah, he was there either. Yeah,

780
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 3: not seeing anybody else with the uh with them moving

781
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 3: on to the Cowboys here looks like uh. They ended

782
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 3: up cutting wide receiver Cam Johnson. There was some buzz

783
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 3: around him, wasn't there.

784
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't know much about him. The receiver room's pretty lean.

785
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 3: They cut the defensive end Volami Fojoco Junior. He was

786
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: a draft pick by them a couple of years ago.

787
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: Is he related? I think he is. I think he is.

788
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: I think he is. I wasn't sure.

789
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 3: Defensive back Sheldic red Wine.

790
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,959
Speaker 1: He's been around. Yeah, he's been on you know, draft

791
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 1: lists and stuff. The Giants cut running back Josh Kelly.

792
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow, former charger. Doesn't offer a lot in the

793
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: passing game and isn't super dynamic, but he's produced it. Yeah,

794
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: he played made you think it was a fourth round pick.

795
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: They released wide receiver Alan Robinson. I don't see that

796
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 3: coming happening again.

797
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: No, And he played a role here and I'm sure

798
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: that they'd love the blocking and he was well liked

799
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: from what I understand, But I can't see that movie

800
00:37:59,280 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles.

801
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 3: Really Tirian Davis Price the running back. Okay, Paris Campbell released.

802
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big name. He's another one that's kind

803
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: of Cadarius Tony ish where not real sharp route runner

804
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: type and what's what's he do? Well?

805
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 3: You know the released wide receiver John Ross.

806
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: Top ten draft picks. Yeah, yeah, had the record at

807
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: the combine. Yeah, up until it's here. H let's see here. CJ. A.

808
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: Zuma got released by them.

809
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: I wonder if he gets picked up probably yeah, right right,

810
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: unless he's dropped off more than I know.

811
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 3: Offensive lineman Matt Hennessy.

812
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: That's another center. I think he might be a center only,

813
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: which always hurts those guys. Defensive tackles Gabe Hall and PJ.

814
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: Mustafer Okay, it doesn't been a chance. Yeah.

815
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 3: Linebacker Julian Okuara, this is all Eagles. Yeah, Linebacker Warren Burks.

816
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 3: He's got some guys, had some tough decisions. Yeah, these

817
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 3: are some guys that have been around the league. Cornerback

818
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 3: Josh Job Okay, I think he's a slot.

819
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that might be interesting one mm hmm.

820
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: Zach McPherson slot.

821
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: No, I thought there was a McPherson kicker.

822
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 3: A little playmaker out of Texas Tech.

823
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, I know you're talking about now. Yeah, he's

824
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: a fight see little guy.

825
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there's some guys there. The Commanders released Martavis Bryant.

826
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that worth the experiment, but I guess

827
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: it didn't Worar J. C. Hassen Hour Huh. I think

828
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: I'd rather roll mccollumn. Yeah, I think so too. At

829
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: this stage of their careers, I can hear. I'm not

830
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: sure McCollum's long theirs.

831
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 3: I don't see anybody that jumps out at me on

832
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 3: their list. The The Lions cut quarterback Nate Sudfeld, So.

833
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: I guess Hooker is going to be the two. I

834
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: thought Sudfeld was going to be the two. Running Back

835
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: Zonovan Bam Knight who oh yeah yeah college career.

836
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude looked decent last week against the Steelers. For

837
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 3: the Packers, they released former Penn State quarterb atu On Clifford.

838
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: They just made the trade yesterday. He was in trouble

839
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: after the Willows trade. That was shocked. They drafted him

840
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: as highs they did. Yeah. Yeah.

841
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 3: Uh. The Vikings released running back Can Nuanu or whatever.

842
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, kick returner really fast and straight line.

843
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 3: He's some place for him last year.

844
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he gets free. Look out the cut.

845
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 3: Quarterback Matt Corral.

846
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's done. He might be that might

847
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: be his last, his last stop. He's in the picket class, right, Yeah,

848
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: it's amazing. What's happened, like his fifth team already. Yeah yeah,

849
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: I mean that's amazing that rider got cut. I mean

850
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: you'll get to him, but I mean that that class

851
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: is like shot already. Yeah. Yeah.

852
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 3: NFC South, the Atlanta Falcons, Let's see anybody on their

853
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 3: list that jumps out.

854
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: Not really wondering if anyone that Arthur Smith might have known,

855
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: or you.

856
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 3: Know, line offensive lineman John mcglue, he was here.

857
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: For a while. Yeah yeah, I thought he was.

858
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 3: Okay, Uh, defensive called Tommy togy I.

859
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: Big nose type guy. Yeah yeah.

860
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 3: Cornerback Kevin King got cut.

861
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: Penn State kid.

862
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, dang crookshank the defensive back cut.

863
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: Okay, he's done some stuff.

864
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 3: Looking here at the Panthers. Uh, Terrace Marshall cut. That's

865
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 3: a name, former second round pick.

866
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: But they've invested in receivers lately, tight ends slot cap building.

867
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: He was on like the Jamar chase teams in l

868
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: s U Borrow.

869
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 3: Tight ends, Felipe Franks who used to be a quarterback

870
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 3: project guy, and Jacob Hollister.

871
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: Okay, he's been around leg a little bit. I bet

872
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: he plays some teams too. Yeah. Uh let's see here. Yeah,

873
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: not a lot here.

874
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 3: Cornerback Lamar Jackson, who they just traded with Seattle to get.

875
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: Wow, it'd be tough being that guy like you coming

876
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: trade Yeah, late, and you think somebody's excited to get you,

877
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: and they probably are, But how much of a chance

878
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: you really get the uh?

879
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints released running back James Robinson.

880
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: Uh formerly Jaggs and drafted. Yeah. I think he had

881
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: a bad injury and isn't the same anymore. He was

882
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: never great to begin with.

883
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 3: But they released uh Sampson Nakua, who is Puka's brother. Yeah,

884
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 3: say they're brothers, right, Yeah, Equanamias Saint Brown who's also.

885
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: Brothers.

886
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they get they get the wrong ones. Jesse Davis,

887
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 3: who was with the Steelers for a while.

888
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: Released.

889
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, offensive Lemon Joe Wan Williams is the cornerback. He's

890
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 3: been around a little bit of a deep corner room.

891
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: How about Saints yeah, I thought Latimore might get traded

892
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: or you know, they drafted kool aid and they got

893
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: like one too many corners. Safety Jonathan Abram Hmmm, I

894
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: have a thumper. I bet he has special teams values. Yeah,

895
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: pretty high picked back in his day.

896
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, mentioned Desmond Ritter getting released by the Cardinals.

897
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: What was he bad for Atlanta last year? Yeah, I

898
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: wonder Arthur Smith did have any interest in them at all.

899
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: I don't see the I don't see it. No, Yeah,

900
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: I just don't worked with them very heavily for you know,

901
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: his whole career. But I mean, yeah, not accurate.

902
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 3: The forty nine Ers released Matt Brida, Keishaan Vaughan, so

903
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 3: a couple of running backs who have been around the league.

904
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: Uh.

905
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: And Presley Harvin.

906
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that too. I didn't know he was

907
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: with it.

908
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 3: Was hurt and so I brought him in a couple

909
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 3: of weeks ago.

910
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: I need to double check this, but I saw one

911
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: little thing on my phone. I think Elijah Mitchell was

912
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: starting on one of the pup lists. Okay, So I

913
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: mean their running back situation is a little weird. McCaffrey's

914
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent. I think Mason's their back up

915
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, so it's a fantasy note.

916
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some guys out there though that you look

917
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: at and say, oh yeah, maybe the guys have played

918
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 3: in the league and might have some interest.

919
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd be Noah Brown's in the

920
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: name that you brought up that I might consider claiming. Yeah,

921
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm the other ones that might kick the tires on

922
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: if from claiming. I don't let no Brown's contract statuses

923
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: though that I think they signed him to a decent

924
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: deal this offseason.

925
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 3: Well, he's a veteran, so he's now a free agent.

926
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah oh yeah, yeah, yeah, so you wouldn't have to

927
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: claim him, right. But I'm pretty sure that they signed

928
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: him this offseason, which is maybe part of it. I

929
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: think they saved a little bit of caproim on it

930
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: before the Digs trade. They might have made a deal

931
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: with them.

932
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they did re up him and then

933
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 3: made the trade for Digs and.

934
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: He remember, like I remember we were having the conversations

935
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: way back when about like maybe the Steeler should sign

936
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: a kJ Osborne or a Westbrook, a Keene. I think

937
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: like Noah Brown was on that list.

938
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 3: He was, Yeah, he was one of those guys. His

939
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 3: base salary was supposed to be two million dollars. With

940
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 3: his cap it was three point five. But then he

941
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: was hurt for a lot of training camp, and you'd.

942
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: Probably get him chaper than that if you wanted to grab.

943
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 3: Him, I would think you probably get him at the

944
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 3: veteran right. You might have to throw just to prime

945
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 3: away from somebody else.

946
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: But how many do you have any of his stats? Yeah,

947
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean he's done some stuff. He's never been a

948
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: true start, but I think he was well, he might

949
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: have been a starter.

950
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 3: He was a starter in Dallas his last season there.

951
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm even thinking, like before Tank Dell showed up

952
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: and became something. Well.

953
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 3: He played in ten games last year, started seven with

954
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 3: Houston the year got hurt. The year before that was

955
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 3: sixteen games, thirteen starts for Dallas. He had forty three

956
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 3: catches for five hundred and fifty five yards and three touchdowns.

957
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: He had a real reputation coming out Ohio State. Is

958
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: kind of a tough guy. Yeah, I think you know,

959
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: special teams mentioned that, so yeah, maybe maybe consider it. Yeah,

960
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: it wouldn't break my heart if it comes across the

961
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: wire that he signed with the Bears or anything. I'd

962
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: sleep find it. Not the end of the world or

963
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 1: anything like that.

964
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean he's a bigger guy, you know,

965
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 3: six two twenty five, So give you another bigger bodied

966
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: wide receiver.

967
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: Again, as we may mention, Steelers are pretty small, pretty small. Yeah,

968
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 1: Miller's ther last guy, and even Wilson isn't big.

969
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it gives you somebody else. He's played in the slot,

970
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: but he can also play outside.

971
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: And again, a special team's background and some size interest me.

972
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I would be interested in.

973
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's at least yea.

974
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, let's get their break. He is the Matt Williamson.

975
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 3: I am Dale Lolly.

976
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: You're listening to the.

977
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 3: Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network. We'll be back

978
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 3: with more right after this
