1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome

3
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: back to our number three of the Drive here on

4
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio and ESPN nine seventy. I am Dale Lolly,

5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: he is Matt Williamson, and we are the Drive here

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: on the Steelers Nation Radio. Coming to you live from

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: Steelers training camp here at St. Vincent College. And Matt,

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: the lock through is coming to an end here in

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: this in case people are interested, well, they usually like

10
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: the walk The way they do walk through is is

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: like a lot of them describe it walk A lot

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: of the starters are down there. Everybody's down there to

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: start these things, and then they kind of break things

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: off once they go through. The offensive lineman in the

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: defensive linement assume that special teams. Yeah, then they have

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: as little special teams walk through so that then so

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: the lineman can leave. Yeah, that's how, and I'm sure

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks left too. And you know, just a super

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: quick rundown of the walkthrough situations. There's two fields. One

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: of them's got all orange gold jerseys. One of them

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: is all white offense. Defense. They don't walk through against

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: each other. You don't want the defense to give you

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: a look. You have an offensive scout team do it

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: for you. The opponent isn't real you know important. You're

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: just walking through place. Yeah, you're walking through places. It's

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: halfway through. What they do in the classroom on the

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: board first, what you do on the field at full speed.

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: If you could combine those two, that's a walkthrough. That

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: is a walk through. Uh, matt uh. William mc guinnis

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com has ranked his top ten edge

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: rushers in the league. He's a former edge rusher. He

32
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: knows a little bit about it. Yeah, he's done quite well.

33
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Uh so you have to say, yeah, Mr t J.

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: Watt should behind this list. He has had four seasons

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: in a row of at least thirteen sacks and that's

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Reggie White type stuff. That's the only other guy who's

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: done that. As Reggie White's pretty amazing. And we were

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: talking bets and props and things like that before. You've

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: brought up a couple of times his over under thirteen

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: and a half thirteen point seven ft seven five. She

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: has to get the four teens, get the fourteen for

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: you to win your bet, which he's done four out

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: of five years, and the other one was one sack

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: Ballette below that. Yeah, I like that one too. I'm

45
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: going over. Uh so his number ten is Shack Barrett

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: with the Buccaneers. I mean, I guess we'll hear the

47
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: other names or is there a just miss list or

48
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. I don't know. I haven't gotten

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the story here. I'm going to

50
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: tend to he went to ten, would do this one?

51
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: He went tend to one, So we'll find out. But

52
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: I think he's in that neighborhood. He's been really productive

53
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: for the Bucks. Really blew up. It was a great

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: signing for that. I mean he was behind von Miller

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: and Chub and was good. And there's a third guy. Yeah,

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I really liked him a couple of years ago. Undrafted

57
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: guy in right at number nine is Max Crosby. It's

58
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: a little low for him. Well, I mean, you know,

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: if you're looking at sacks um, that's the one thing

60
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: that was missing there. He didn't get guys. He had

61
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: a lot of pressures, which usually translates to sax. Yeah.

62
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: If I were campaigning for Mr Crosby, I would say

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders lipzed way less than any team in the league.

64
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: So he's getting doubled, probably as much as anyone, as

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: much as Watt or Way on the other side of him.

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: They only had thirty five sacks as a team and

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: he had eight. I mean he was definitely their best

68
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: player on defense. I mean they gave him and they

69
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: give him money, four year extension worth almost a hundred

70
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: million dollars. So much better athlete than people realized too.

71
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Like go google Max Crosby's combine numbers will be shocked.

72
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Number eight Trey Hendrickson. I think that's proper for him.

73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: I've seen him like five six, and I respect the production.

74
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't know the people fear him though. Seven and

75
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: a half sacks o the last two two years. Yeah,

76
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: it's great. I mean that's undeniable. It's fantastic home run

77
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: for since he I just don't watch his tape and think, well,

78
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, not a lot of wow moments. Number seven

79
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: Von Miller. Is he still that guy? Yes? I don't

80
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: know if the Bills will regret giving him the contract

81
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: they did dollar deal, but they must not have been

82
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: the only ones offering him big money. So I think

83
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: the league tells us he is still a stud he

84
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: was great down the stretch for the Rams. All time

85
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: great might be a stretch when describing von Miller, but

86
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: if it is, it's not too far off. Yeah, he's

87
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean another special, another good season here, and he's

88
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean he potentially could be a three time super

89
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Bowl winner, had a couple of super Bowls already. He's

90
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: an easy Hall of Famer that's far from done. That

91
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: just got huge money number six. This would I kind

92
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: of have a little bit of an issue with Khalil Mack.

93
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: The numbers aren't great. Like the last three seasons he's

94
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: been under ten sacks. It's interesting. I don't know if

95
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: he's still that. I don't think he is either. The

96
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: Bears had an abnormal a number of sacks last year

97
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: and it wasn't because of him. This, It wasn't I

98
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: mean he didn't help. He helped. Yeah, yeah, of course,

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean they don't get him there without him. But

100
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he was a boaster or you know,

101
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: Watts or one of these guys just racking him up.

102
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: You know, he was part of many contributing and unlike

103
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: von Miller, it wasn't crazy expensive to get him. Yeah,

104
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, if the Bears could trade him for more

105
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 1: to another team, they would have number five Nick Bosa.

106
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: That's too low. I'm infatuated with this guy. I think

107
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: he's unbelievably special. If you told me one guy in

108
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: the league was going to be right there with Garrett

109
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: or Watt or better, I would pick him. Yeah, I

110
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: mean he's he's pretty good. Now, you know that the

111
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: question for them becomes, you know, can he get like

112
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: the way that they play run the ball so much?

113
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: They're also a low percentage blitz team, like you know,

114
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: that kind of hurts him a little a little bit.

115
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 1: So how about this? It was I was just digging

116
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: up goofy stats about different teams actually did for Steelers

117
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: dot com. You can find it on the NFC West

118
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: preview I did a while back. Besides the trade lance pick,

119
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: I think eight years in a row, their first selection

120
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: was a defensive linement. Yeah, I mean they really stress it.

121
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: I forget the name of their D line coach, but

122
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: he is revered that he gets the most out of

123
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: those guys. He hasn't I would hope so. And this

124
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: year what they did have a first round pick, but

125
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: it was Drake Jackson. Their first pick but I mean

126
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: we're talking about Armstead and Buckner, kin Law both, you know,

127
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: But a lot of those guys are top five picks, right.

128
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't have to be a genius to make those

129
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: guys look good. No, No, I'm whatever whatever his name is.

130
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: People love him, that he's a great up and coming

131
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: position coach. That's all well and good. But if you

132
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: give me, you know, if I'm gonna make a pretty

133
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: good meal, give me chop chop liver, it's not gonna

134
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: be a very good meal, especially that position. Talent so

135
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: important there. But it's interesting to me at the Niners

136
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: stress their D line as much as they do. Number

137
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: four Chandler Jones, I don't know to rank ahead of Bosa.

138
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not the same conversation. That can't

139
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: put him with Bosa, but this is not the same conversation.

140
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: But of edge guys of this generation, I think he's

141
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: the most underrated. I think he's had a borderline Hall

142
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: of Fame career already. He's got a hundred and seven

143
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: and a half sacks in ten years. Yeah, I mean

144
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: that's pretty good, and that's after missing a lot last year.

145
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: It's consistent. He's long, he's strong. I think if you

146
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: asked Belichick he'd be like, I screwed up trading that one. Yeah, yeah,

147
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: but he had he had some off the field stuff

148
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: that was just there was some and they didn't want

149
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: to pay him. Then he's like showed up uside of

150
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: police department and up there and he was naked in

151
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: the parking lot or something. Didn't he had some kind

152
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: of like synthetic marijuana. There was something that was went

153
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: hand in hand with the nakedness or whatever. I think

154
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: that's what went on. Yeah, but you get after the

155
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: quarterback number three, another guy that's on a Hall of

156
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Fame type career, Cam Jordan's, So that means Joe he's

157
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: not in the top means Joe he's not in the

158
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: top ten. Yeah, and we're not talking about friends, right.

159
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan to me kind of reminds me of Cam Heyward,

160
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: like and that they if he was here, everyone out

161
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: here would love him and adore him. And he's had

162
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: a somewhat quiet career by you know, all the hoop

163
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: law that surrounds him, but he's been awesome every year.

164
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a Saints legend. He's easily going to

165
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: be a Ring of Honor type guy or whatever they

166
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: do for that their version of the Hall of Honor.

167
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: If he doesn't make the Hall of All of Fame,

168
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: which he probably won't because his resume at the end

169
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: won't be as good as he is as a player,

170
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: but he's still really good. Yeah, yeah, I mean I

171
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: put Joey bos over a lot of these names, but okay,

172
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: number two, Miles Garrett. Then we know who one is.

173
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: I assume. Yeah, he don't leave t J Off did he?

174
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: He didn't know, he did not. I think you have

175
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: to have wat to over Garrett right now. The production

176
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: is just they're not well. We did this a couple

177
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: of weeks, by a month, a month and a half

178
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: ago or whatever the Hall of Fame monitor, um T J.

179
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: Watts Hall of Fame monitor. And remember they came into

180
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: the league the same year in the same draft, both

181
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: first round picks, one much earlier than the other. What

182
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: has I think it's twenty five or thirty more sacks

183
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: and Garrett. Yeah, I'm trying to do a quick search

184
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: of sacks per game, but they're not even close. I

185
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: mean in terms of what is way higher than Garrett.

186
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: What is it like at an all time pace exactly

187
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: up there with Reggie White in terms of stuff. Yeah,

188
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look here. I don't know, I'm not

189
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: really finding it very easily. But he average Miles Garrett

190
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: averages point eight three sacks per game, which is great.

191
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's very good. That is also a Hall

192
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: of Fame pace. Um, give me two seconds and I'll

193
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: find out t J wats all right. Well, while you

194
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: do that, I'm gonna say that he has the third

195
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: most sacks in his first five seasons in NFL history,

196
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: with seventy two, trailing only his brother j J. Had

197
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: seventy four and a half and Reggie whitehood eighty one.

198
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: It's remarkable, I mean, and and remind people should also

199
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: remember Reggie White had a couple of years in the

200
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: in the USFL before he came to the U came

201
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: to the NFL, so he was more of a finished

202
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: product when he came to the NFL, like he was

203
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: already like, Okay, you got that rookie season out of

204
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: the way, like you take watch rookie year out of

205
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: the equation. I'm not finding it anyway. Since he's rookie year.

206
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's far and away the best pass rusher

207
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: far and away head. He said, at least thirteen sacks

208
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: and each in the last four years, and he has

209
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: missed time. If you want to hold that against him, fine,

210
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: that's why I was looking up sacks was Garrett. So

211
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: it was Garrett. Yea, he got spended, you know. But um,

212
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: I think that is to stand alone. I think Nick

213
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: is very close and hasn't had the body of work

214
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: quite yet, and he missed a whole season, which hurts

215
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: his cause big picture. But no one's better than t J. No.

216
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: There were people before the Steelers signed him to his

217
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: contract last year. I wouldn't pay him. I wouldn't pay

218
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Yeah? I mean really maybe the

219
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: best defensive player in the league. That's you pay, right,

220
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: And I mean he and Aaron Donald are the two

221
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: most disruptive defensive players in the league right now. The

222
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: other thing about Wat too, He's gotten really good at

223
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: taking the ball away, swatting down passes, he can cover.

224
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: He affects games in so many ways, so many ways,

225
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: a high quality run defender. Not to think some of

226
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: these guys can't do those things. But it's not just

227
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: sacks with him either, No, it's it's he's a he's

228
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: a complete player. He's a complete player and the leader.

229
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: He's tough, you know, he's kind of guy you want

230
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: the locker room, you know, positive impact. And I don't

231
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: know him. I don't know that t J. Watt at

232
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: this point has reached his peak as a player. Well,

233
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: last year was his best year. We agree on that.

234
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Every year has been his best ever. Each year before that,

235
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: we haven't seen any kind of decline. No, No, we've

236
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: seen ascension. Yeah, I mean year after year. Now at

237
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: some point that's going to happen. That's just that's only natural.

238
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: But he did what he did last year in fifteen games. Yeah,

239
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna predict that he did that. He's

240
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: gonna keep that pace up. I mean, but I bet

241
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: it's not far off and it could be better, right,

242
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: Like Chandler Jones has hit his peak, Blond Miller says peak,

243
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: clear Max's peak. Those names we listed, Cam Jordan's probably

244
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: Cam Heyward, you know, like they probably won't be ascending.

245
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: Garrett could be, you know, he could be. But again

246
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: there you're talking about the same age as you know.

247
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: They came again that two thousand seventeen draft. Um you

248
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: know right now has produced the two best pass rushers

249
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: in the league easily. I mean Donald is a better

250
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: player than them, and he's a great tier pass rusher,

251
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's a better pass rusher than

252
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: Garrett or Watt. Yeah, he doesn't list who just missed

253
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: his just missed, but Joey Bosa had. He's the name

254
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: that I don't quite understand for not being on there.

255
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't stand that phrase at all. Yeah, I don't

256
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: get that one at all. Trying to scan the league

257
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: of who else I'd even consider in that neighbor. I'm

258
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: going always good division by division in my head, and

259
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: there's nobody in the North. There's nobody in the East

260
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: that's jumping out at me. Is you know the next one? Um?

261
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: Rashawn Gary could be on that. It could be in

262
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: that conversation. You know, another big year Chase Young would

263
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: have been there, But um, did you Hunter? Or is

264
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: his best days behind? The people in Dallas might have

265
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: an argument if you're gonna call Parsons, I mean you

266
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: have to call Hi an edge, right, And that's something

267
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: he asked. I mean I think he said, who are

268
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: the best pass rushers? Yeah? And Parsons. He said that

269
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: he's the best edge. Okay, okay, so I guess if

270
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: he didn't count him, I would understand it. Yeah. Yeah,

271
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's a good group. I mean there's I mean,

272
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: who are the top young guys that are coming and

273
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: breaking in on that. I don't know if like a

274
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: Quidty Pay, I don't think the rookies are gonna be

275
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: Walker any of those year the top of those list

276
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: next year that would surprise. That would surprise me. And

277
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: even last year's crop of like Pay and those guys

278
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: are fine, but they're not. I don't think you're ready

279
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: to light the world on fire. It's very you know,

280
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: when you're Cleveland and you've got Myles Garrett and you

281
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: still don't have the best pass rusher in your division. Yeah,

282
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. That's pretty good company. Yeah, no doubt

283
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: about that. Uh So I'm looking here at another thing

284
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: here and they get their news and notes on NFL

285
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: dot Com training camp buzz, Mitch Trobisky pulling ahead and

286
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: Steeler's quarterback competition. You're late to the party, folks. Yeah,

287
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, people, it wasn't a race for

288
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: one thing, so you have nothing to pull ahead. He

289
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: started ahead, and he stayed He stayed ahead, and he's

290
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna be the top guy. I mean, these are done deals,

291
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: you know. Like it does surprise me a little bit.

292
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: In today's NFL. This feels like a story from five

293
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: and we have the internet. Then you'd have to like

294
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: read the papers and you know, read a quote here,

295
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: and they're like, why doesn't the world know that Mr

296
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: biscuity is the starting quarterback? Now? I don't know. It's

297
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: not even yeah, not even a question here, right, Um,

298
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: and keep getting asked that when I go in different

299
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: formats like this is right, Marcus Mariota, According to the

300
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, growing comfortable behind the Falcon's offensive line.

301
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: You can not get too comfortable. No, you better. I

302
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: hope you have some wheels and get ready to run.

303
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: Unlike the Steelers, like they're a line is littered with

304
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: early picks. You know, they're bad, just as bad, it's

305
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: not worse. And um, I think an athlete in that

306
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: position is going to be really important and both of

307
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: those guys can move him. And Ritter, yeah, I agree,

308
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: Ritters a lot like Mariota physically. Yeah, just looking hear

309
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: anything else that sticks out? Nothing really, that's your keening.

310
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: Grant is back then looks like he's out for the year.

311
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: Broke his kneecap, which can't be good when you're three sixty. Yeah,

312
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: that's gotta hurt. There's been no good news on back

313
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: then now for like a year or two with injuries,

314
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: moved from left to right tackle, some overweight stuff. I'm

315
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: not indicating that because he was overweight a month ago

316
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: or early in camp that led to injury, but sometimes

317
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: that stuff happens. And that they were actually interviewing Salat today,

318
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: the Jets coach, or maybe it was yesterday, and he

319
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: kind of unprovoked said that doesn't mean that's the end

320
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: of Beckton's career or his story's over. Like it's funny

321
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: you bring that up for a third year guy that

322
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: was a super super PROSPECTU right, it was great in

323
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: his rookie year and was looked like your future left tackle.

324
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: And now you're answering, you know, it's his time here done?

325
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: Is his career over? That's what happens in New York. Yeah,

326
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: it's over. In a New York minute, New York minute, right,

327
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, Eric Mangini goes from man genius to get

328
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: him the hell out. Hate this guy. He's showing up

329
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: on the Sopranos and stuff. And then next thing he

330
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: knows he's fired. It could be Zack Wilson, next, could

331
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: be him next. I mean, same thing with with with um,

332
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, Danny Dames and all that stuff. They can't

333
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: wait to get rid of him. And and I've heard

334
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: more and more buzz but fumble guy Jimmy Sancho Sanchez franchise.

335
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: Now he's gone. I keep hearing more and more rumblings

336
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: that Jimmy to the Giants is a possibility. What makes

337
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: you guess it makes some sense? I mean, if you're

338
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: not gonna bring Jones back, you can sign Jimmy to

339
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: a t year deal still draft one. They have Taylor,

340
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: I think. But so what, Yeah, you know it's not

341
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: an obstacle. Yeah, well, the it looks like the walk

342
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: through is over here at something like that something. Yeah,

343
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: going out there and walking through stuff. We're walking you

344
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: through the three hours here in the afternoon. We'll be

345
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: walking you through all the way until five o'clock. But

346
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take another break. He is Matt Williamson. I

347
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: am Dale Lully. You're listening to the Drive here on

348
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Will be back with more right after this.

349
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

350
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: your home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

351
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back to St. Pens of College here in beautiful

352
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: Eltro of Pennsylvania. I'm Dale Walla who with Matt Williamson.

353
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio and

354
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: ESPN nine seventy and Matt. I was digging into some

355
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: numbers here on the Steelers new editions in the secondary

356
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: and I came across it seems to me that they

357
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: went looking for guys who are shure tacklers. Yes, uh uh.

358
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: When when you look at Levi Wallace and demonte Kazu.

359
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: Wallace had a mis tackle rate of ten percent last year,

360
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: which a lot of fans show, that's that's pretty that's

361
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: a lot, it's really not. That was actually up from

362
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: five point three percent in so he's been pretty good

363
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: at getting guys on the ground in his career. Casey

364
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: was at Temper. You know, the Bills live in Nickel

365
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna do that your secondary, yeah, I

366
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: mean there's gonna be if you're gonna be a nickel basically,

367
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: no matter what, and the team's gonna come out in

368
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: twelve heavier personnel. Your your defensive backs have to tackle

369
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: bigger people and you can't pull that off without it.

370
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: And I know this seems kind of crazy because of

371
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: his build, he's very lean, but there were a lot

372
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: of people thought he might be a safety coming out

373
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: of Bama because he wasn't a great tester. But he's

374
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: a good football player. I mean, he's not bashful, he's

375
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: great above the neck. I bring it up because you

376
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: know those two guys at ten point eight and ten

377
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: point three percent um A. Kello Weatherspoon's mis tackle rate

378
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: last year was twenty point six percent. He's lacking in

379
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: that department. Joe Hayden was at seventeen point four percent

380
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: and Cam Something was at sixteen point one percent. Not

381
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: good enough from the group last year. If you look

382
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: at the explosive runs that the Steelers UH gave up

383
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: last year, there were seventy five of them. Now, the

384
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: NFL considers an explosive run anything of ten or more

385
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: yards led the league. And that's why that's how you

386
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: finished dead last in rush defense. And you give up

387
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: that many explosive runs when you're your second guys in

388
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: the secondary are missing tackles. And the Steelers are also

389
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: very high in their percentage of dime usage. So there

390
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: was six defensive backs on the field a lot. Um,

391
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: you need to be great tacklers if that's the case,

392
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: even if you're facing three or four wide receiver sets,

393
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: because those guys are good after the catch too. It's

394
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: not just running backs in terms of tackling. But I

395
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: know your explosive run thing is handoffs, you know, um,

396
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: and I can't blame while the back the front seven

397
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: was getting blown off the ball and the holes are

398
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: so huge and just that's not just that. There's more, Yeah,

399
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: there's more to run defense so than what happens up front.

400
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: Like if you get a guy breaks, he gets uh,

401
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, six or seven yard run, but your cornerback

402
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: comes up and takes him out, gets him on the ground. Okay, okay, Okay,

403
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: that happens, fight and live another day. At second and four,

404
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: he misses that tackle. Though. Now it's now that that

405
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: seven yard game turns into a fifteen explosive all of

406
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: a sudden. And I'm not sure we could say this enough,

407
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: but the league is all about explosive plays. Yeah, preventing

408
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: explosive plays, creating explosive plays. Steelers offense didn't have nearly

409
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: enough of them. Steelers defense against the run allowed far

410
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: too many. Because past the past defense wasn't bad. Yards

411
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: of game last year that's one of the better efforts

412
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: in the league, you know. I mean that you'll take

413
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: that and that could even improve. But I do think

414
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: that tackling was one of the components that just allowed

415
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: too many explosives. And I don't know the Witherspoon will

416
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: ever get better at it. Hayden has been a good tackler.

417
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: I haven't done, you know, study the numbers, but I

418
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: think age probably factored into that, and inability to get

419
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: yourself in the position because he was always a guy

420
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: stuck his nose in there and guy guys in the ground.

421
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: And Cam Sutton probably missed a couple more tackles last

422
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: year than he typically had because he'd usually been pretty

423
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: good at that as well. And I'm curious, you know,

424
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be operating out the slot a higher

425
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: percentage of the time, how much are they going to

426
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: stress that because it's gonna be more important there You're

427
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: close with the while you're close to the line of scrimmage.

428
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: Um side note. I heard this on the way here

429
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: that of all the safeties in the league, Edmonds lined

430
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: up in the slot more than any other. I didn't

431
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: know that. I consider him a good tackler, you know,

432
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if that'll keep up, though. His his

433
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: miss tackle percentage was ten point one percent last year

434
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: around tens good. Yeah, I make of Fitzpatrick was nine

435
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: point five percent, Arthur Milette two point one percent, and

436
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: you missed one. He missed one tackle last year. Makes

437
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: you wonder. I mean, I'm not projecting Millette to play

438
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps, but he's really reliable. If you're

439
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: in first and ten in the in the in the nickel, yeah,

440
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Milette out there because he's a he's

441
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: a good run defender. Now, maybe Weatherspoon or Wallace is

442
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: on the bench. Yeah, I mean it probably is. So

443
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: maybe Millet's a bigger factor than we realize. I mean,

444
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: he's only a slot. But now if it's third and eight,

445
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: that's different. That's different, right. I think Sutton's then in

446
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: the slot. Another defensive back trend is they have a

447
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: lot of versatility. I mean, if Edmonds is the closest

448
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: thing to a linebacker going all the way down to milette,

449
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: who's the little nickel And they have everything in between,

450
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: including two outside corners, some safety corner versatility and KZ

451
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: and Norwood true free and Minca like not. A lot

452
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: of those skill sets are repetitive amongst their defensive back.

453
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: So maybe you know, projecting who the slot is, who

454
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: the nickelback is might be a little more different week

455
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: to week or to your point down in distance situation.

456
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: You know, we need the tackler this time, we need

457
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: the cover guy this this one, we need the size

458
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: versus you know, the Browns are Ravens, you know Bengals.

459
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: We need speed or versatility or you know. So they

460
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: do have a lot of options with their secondary absolutely,

461
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: so I think that's interesting and it is certainly something

462
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: I think that they looked at in free agency this year. No,

463
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: I I don't think it is either that they wanted

464
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: to get better on the back end, getting guys on

465
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: the ground. These are the kind of things I love

466
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: about what we do for a living is little nuggets

467
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: like boy, I didn't think Juju was a great signing

468
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. But then you put two and two

469
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: together that they faced more zone than any in the

470
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: league and he's best first zone or you know, it's

471
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: not an accident to Steelers signed or went out and

472
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: got got Trabinsky and pick it. Well, they have a

473
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: couple of things that are really in common. They're both

474
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: great after play action before they ever got here. They're

475
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: both very good throwing on the run. This is what

476
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: front officers do, folks. You know, they look at their

477
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: how they play, how they have to play, what sort

478
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: of players fit the mold. Absolutely. As you often say,

479
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: teams tell you what they think by the moves they

480
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: make or what their plans are by the moves that

481
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: they make. Sometimes it takes a lot of digging to

482
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: figure it out, you know, but there's a logic behind it. Yeah,

483
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: definitely makes some sense. I think they feel like a

484
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: Kellow Weatherspoon is their best cover corner they must and

485
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: he's a playmaker. Yeah, because even like today during practice

486
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: when they were doing one on one passing drills, uh,

487
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, with the receivers against the against the cornerback

488
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: single you know, singled up. They made sure that Witherspoon

489
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: was matched up against Pickens, and Tomline kept calling for

490
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: that matchup. You know, they're more that I mean if

491
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: people know this, but they're they're much more a left

492
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: right corner situation as opposed to you follow the guy around.

493
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: But I think weather Weatherspoon is their best take the

494
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: ball away corner. If you had to say one guy

495
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: on the team has to follow Jamaar Chase or Bateman

496
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: or Cooper, he might be that guy. I think he

497
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: would be the one you pick because he's got the side,

498
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: he's six to, he's got speed and get the lengthen

499
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: and ability to play the ball. And he showed a

500
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: pension for getting his hands on the football, whether breakups

501
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: or you know, uh pick which is great. So okay,

502
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: he's you know, there's a spectrum with all these eventsive backs.

503
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: We just talked about their diversatility on the field. Well,

504
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: he's our worst tackler, but he's our best playmakers, so

505
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: we'll use him in this manner. And I mentioned Chase.

506
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: Maybe Chase is a bad example for him because he's

507
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: so good after the catch. If if Spoon misses a

508
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: tackle on Chase, we can't have that. Maybe we want

509
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: Sutton or Wallace you know, give him a big cushion,

510
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: come up and tackle Chase time and time again. No

511
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: explosives from Jamar. You know, Okay, we can live with that.

512
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna get his no matter what. Yeah, So maybe

513
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 1: that's the logic week to week, But I think it like,

514
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: for example, Dick Lebo would have love Levi Wallace. Oh yeah,

515
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit off coverage, come up, smack people around,

516
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: physical smart, you know, aided by a good pass rush.

517
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: Don't get beat over the top. Don't get beat over

518
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: the top. No explosives, Yep. I think he'd be a

519
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: big lebo guy, whereas I don't think Witherspoon would have

520
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: no probably not probably, But it just shows you what

521
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: the balance that they're trying to find there in that

522
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: secondary Where did I read today? Someone from the Steelers

523
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: organization said Sutton was like the smartest offensive back that

524
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: they've ever been around. Mike Tomlin talked about Yeah, like

525
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: when they took when he and Kevin Covert went and

526
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: had dinner with Sutton. With Sutton, you know, the night

527
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: before the Tennessee Pro day and they put him on

528
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: the white board and he's drawing up the all twenty

529
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: two and can and could tell you what everybody on

530
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: on the fields job was as a college player, and

531
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: he's not and he's not a quarterback. He's not a quarterback.

532
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: I remember reading draft reports of Sutton saying a lot

533
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: of the same stuff. Team captain aligns everybody up. He

534
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: could play on all phases special teams, including punt returns.

535
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: He could play some corner, he could play some safety.

536
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: Senior boy, he played some free you know, that's not

537
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: what he does best, but hey, I can do it,

538
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, And so that kind of stuff is is

539
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: really valuable too. It's very very much like William Gay

540
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: or someone like that. Like you look at them, Okay,

541
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: they're not the best athlete maybe yeah, is the same

542
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: same mold, but they're smart above the neck players that uh,

543
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, you can you can play a long time

544
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: doing that. Joe Hayden had the best of both of that,

545
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: where he had the athletic traits, but he's also good

546
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: above the neck. Yeah, I mean, Sutton's not six one

547
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: and run, doesn't run a fourth three, doesn't look like

548
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, you know, But you're gonna play in a

549
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: long time in the league not making mistakes, knowing where

550
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: people are at. No false steps, you know, understanding route,

551
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: don't blow your coverages, don't allow explosive you know absolutely. Matt,

552
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna take another break because I went. I went

Speaker 1: always do like to like to give you the names

588
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,840

592
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: like that. Our team, Jurassic Chark is the picking seven.

593
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: Can't use char twice in the same Wattle Wattle uh

594
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: is the has the eighth pick living Laviska Loca is

597
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: to Carolina quarterbacks in this one. So our pick is

598
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: up here. I think we're in a tough spot, to

599
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Yeah, um, Dalvin Cook is the

600
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: is the what they're suggesting here is the top suggested player.

601
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: I like that Derrick Henry Nagie Harris still available, as

602
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: is Justin Jefferson. I mean, I don't, I don't. I

603
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: don't think we take Derrick Hendry here. I think we

604
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: can Henry and the low on my list. I don't

605
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: have my list in front of me, but I have

606
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: been updating it almost daily. Henry is like my ninth

607
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: or tenth act, and I think Cook and Nausey are

608
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: my four and five off the top of my head,

609
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: and the three gone or the top three. Jefferson stands

610
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: out though, because a lot of people have either Jefferson

611
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: or Cup. Jefferson and uh Chase is a clear three.

612
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: I just have a problem taking a receiver at six. Yeah.

613
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: I think over over two backs that are going to

614
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: catch the football and and a high quality players good offense,

615
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: the reasonably good offenses, um high touch dudes. I prefer Cook,

616
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: but either one is absolutely fine with me. I don't

617
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: have the problem there. I think he's gonna. I think

618
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna like Nanjie Harris, Sarah, you know what you're getting.

619
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: Cook has the higher upside though, I think more pedigree

620
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: and you know, right right now, right, So we're taking

621
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and Najia Harris went with the next pick,

622
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: so not surprising. We're rolling around here too. Our pick

623
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: in round two, Oh, the top player of suggested for

624
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: us here Aaron Jones. I have him head of Henry

625
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: to be honest with picture. Right after us our pick,

626
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: we're Harris, DeAndre Swift, Jamar Jefferson or Justin Jefferson, Derrick Henry,

627
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs. How about that? Hey, hey,

628
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: Donald goes that Adams and digs Travis Kelsey to pick

629
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: two two uh shaking Baker's take, Nick Chubb, se Kwon Barkley,

630
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, Mark Andrews. And then our pick is up.

631
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: So Jones ceedee Lamb is there? Tyreek Hill is there.

632
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm taking Aaron Jones all day long. He's a touchdown producer.

633
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna year Mike, He's gonna catch a hunter passes

634
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: this year. I think he'll be in that neighborhood. Yeah, Okay,

635
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: we're up again here now in round three. Picked in

636
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: the first round, so we've got two running backs, so

637
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: we gotta start thinking quarterbacks or tight ends here heavily

638
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen available, Kyle Pitts available. Pitts is my one

639
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: tight ends. A j. Brown. That's there some good options there.

640
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: You got Pitts is your number one tight end every

641
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: in the world. Is Kelsey number one and usually Andrews too,

642
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: And I respect those guys. I just think Pitts is

643
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: a total ultra freak that his situation doesn't bother me.

644
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: I think they'll throw a lot, and I think there's

645
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: a really good chance he's gonna be the first tight

646
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: end drafted next year. And everyone just realized how good

647
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: he is. I mean the big knock on him is

648
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: he only scored one touchdown last night. That's not gonna

649
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: keep up. I mean, that's just a flukey thing. That

650
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: is a flukey thing. All right, we'll take off pictsure.

651
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: I get no problem with that, I don't think. But

652
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: we still don't have a wide receiver. But I don't

653
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: think you get Kittle or Waller in the turn. Yeah,

654
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: Waller didn't last us. He went just ahead of our picks.

655
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's five tight ends. Are you get in advantage?

656
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: We get some decent picks here for for wide receivers.

657
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: I thought there's a lot of receivers from Terry McLaurin,

658
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, Brandon Cooks, Um Courtland Sutton is still available.

659
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: I think McLaurin is became never wide receiver, Allen Robinson,

660
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown, Marii Cooper. Do you like a lot of

661
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: those names? I would love to go McLaurin here and

662
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: then hope DK Metcalfs on the turn, or you know

663
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: there's enough receivers there. I think you could probably end

664
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: up with two of them. McLaren's my favor. We have two,

665
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: and then the way we've drafted this, that has to

666
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: be so McLaren's a pick. Yeah, that's an easy one

667
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: for me. And there's another yet another run on receivers. Okay,

668
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: so now we're looking at uh in round five. Allen Robinson.

669
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: I think he bounces back big this Smari Cooper, no

670
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney, no Jerry Judy, who was the first name again,

671
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson. I think he's way better than this group.

672
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: Rashod Bateman. I'm a Bateman fan, and more so than

673
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: Judy or some of those other names you listed, but

674
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: I wish I knew that he was playing some good news.

675
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: It has been very promising about Michael Thomas. Same with

676
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: him right now. I think is the cheapest Godwin or

677
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 1: Thomas will ever be unless we get some catastrophic news.

678
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: But it sounds like they started really low on these

679
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,240
Speaker 1: lists and everyone just keeps bumping on and bumping them.

680
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: I like Allen Robinson the best, but if you want

681
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: Godwin or Thomas, I would take Robinson to see if

682
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 1: we can squeeze one of those guys into that next round.

683
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: If that happens, big, If that happens, we're in great shape.

684
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: Uh So I'd also consider a third back. Yeah, I'd

685
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: look at a third back here. Let's see what they

686
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: suggest for the all um. Yeah, our third backs are

687
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: it gets nasty this year, it gets Yeah. So right now,

688
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: it's sure like A J. Dillon is gone. No, he's

689
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: still there because Jones. Yeah, you can play both of

690
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, it's not gonna hurt you. If you

691
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: play both of those guys, and if you want to

692
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: get hurt, then you're actually great shape. Josh Jacobs available,

693
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell, A J. Dillon, Chase Edmonds at the back.

694
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: Uh Clyde Edwards Hilaire, I don't especially with what we have.

695
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: I think we do that now pull the trigger on

696
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: that and see what we get here at the wide

697
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: receiver position in the next I'm fine with that. I've

698
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: chatted with some Packers guys and they think there's gonna

699
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: be a high percentage of Dilon and Jones absolutely, which

700
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: doesn't happen as much as people think. Okay, so here

701
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 1: we were back at the wide receiver position. Here take

702
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: a look at that. At getting around, he noticed we

703
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: still haven't drafted quarterback folks, Elijah Moore, Drake London, Davante Smith,

704
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett. Do we want to double down on that?

705
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayouk, Tyler Lockett, Christian Kirk, he's there number one.

706
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: I like Christian Kirk. I think that's I think that's

707
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: to pick. You want to see if there's a quarterback

708
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: worth jumping out a right, Let's let's take a wait

709
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: for quarterback, Guy Russell Wilson, Trey Lance, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford.

710
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: We'll fight on this one, but Lance is my favorite

711
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: of the quarterback I understand, but I think you know

712
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: it was your third receivers. I mean, they get my

713
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: twenty four million a year, and he's good that To

714
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: not play him and I get into football, we're not

715
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: talking about it. If the contract is a good one

716
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: or not, it doesn't really matter. Yeah, let's let's take

717
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk there. Now. I'm absolutely fine without all right,

718
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: we're cruising along here. Now the question becomes, do we

719
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: want to take another receiver there? Where? Do we want

720
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: to wait and take a quarterback here? I'm more best available? Yeah,

721
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: as I Am. I wouldn't pigeonhole it that, I would

722
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: look here to it. What's available at running back? You

723
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: can you never have enough tight ends you anything. I

724
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: think it's off the board for yeah, Kareem Hunt. The

725
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: top guys available, they're but top suggestions Kareem Hunt, Trey Lance, Ayouk,

726
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: could Darius Tony, Uh, Aaron Rodgers you mean Tony Pollard?

727
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: I really like Tony and aou Chase Claypool. I think

728
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: Tony might be the Giants one. He's risky, but I'm

729
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: an Ayouk believer. I'm a Lance believer. Those would be

730
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: my three suggestions, Lance, Darius, Tony. Don't trust Darius Tony

731
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: to stay home the trust at all. Right, he's the

732
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: least trustworthy guy in the legal Amost'll take Tray, We'll

733
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: take a shot in Trey Lance, you're that your guy?

734
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 1: Eighth round. That's farting quarterback. Alright, we're back up again.

735
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: The top suggestion is Tony Pollard, Garrett Wilson, Jacobe Myers.

736
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: Pollard's interesting because I think him and Dillon are both

737
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: very flex worthy. Even if nothing bad happens around him.

738
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: The wide receiver position guy is still available. Wilson a

739
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: lave Myers, Tyler Boyd. I have a hard time starting

740
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: any of them. Sky More, he at least says more

741
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 1: upside than those guys. DeVante Parker, no, thank you, Jarvis

742
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: Landry ordinary his grits, but now he doesn't go out

743
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: and catch a bunch of passes. Marquez Valdez, Scantling. I

744
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: would go More or Paular Ron Delmore. I mean, if

745
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: we needed a starting Week one receiver, I'd consider Rondel

746
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: Moore with Hopkins out, but we don't Michael Gallop he's

747
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: out a long time. Yeah, I don't think he's draftable.

748
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: This kind of like sky More there, I'm fine, Yeah,

749
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: I think here's a chance he is very good. Let's

750
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: go ahead and do that. He's a name that didn't

751
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: pop up in the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Yeah

752
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: he was in there. He was like he was ahead

753
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 1: of he was head of picking. He was like six

754
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: or something like that. He could do well there. Yeah,

755
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a look at the all uh

756
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: nahem heines available. They keep saying he's gonna catch a

757
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: million passes. I don't think he scores once this year. Though.

758
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: We did take uh Cooked with our first pick. Alexander

759
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: Madison available. We hadn't come that because we've already got

760
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: We've already got both Packers backs. It's a thought just

761
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: to throw that out. I don't hate it. Let's look

762
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: at second quarterback. Since we Aaron Rodgers still available, that's

763
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: a nice one, super upside the other guy. You know what,

764
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,959
Speaker 1: you know what, you're gonna get. Cousins still available. Derek

765
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: car Toa isn't next. It would have to be Rogers

766
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: if if you make the I think it's just great

767
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 1: value there. Yeah, and we're around ten and no quarterbacks

768
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: are hard to trade, but you could probably trade Aaron

769
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers at the point if Justin Fields falls on his

770
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: face or not Justin Fields Trailers is really struggling. All right,

771
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: I can start Aaron Rodgers. I'm pretty certain that we'll

772
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: have quality quarterback production between those two. Yes, and you'll

773
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: take that for too late picks. Let's go ahead and Rodgers.

774
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: They were set there in the quarterback. We don't even

775
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: have to look at quarterback anymore. I don't know that

776
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm doing the same with tight end though, you know,

777
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: like I don't want or Smith here or Gasecki right

778
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: just to take one, uh, the top players available for

779
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: US right now. J D. McKissick, M hmm, okay. Kenneth Gamewell,

780
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 1: he's sneaky to me. I think he's a better player

781
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: than a mckissic or a Hines. I think he'll get

782
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: carries there, and he's he's had some time with the ones.

783
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: From what I've read, Jarvis Landry, it's not bad. Davante Parker, Yeah, Fiarmuth,

784
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: he's better than what I just threw out. There is

785
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: the second tight end. I don't know we need to

786
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: be doubling up on tight ends and quarterbacks. Jamal Williams,

787
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: Marquees Valdez, Scantling, Raheem Mostered. I don't think he plays

788
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: much for them. It's a lean area of the draft. Yeah,

789
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: this is where it kind of starts to fall off.

790
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: Let's take Game Well. I like Game Well. I would

791
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: have been my vote too. Yeah, and if he misses,

792
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 1: I mean we're not invested heavily. And that's a good

793
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: offensive runs the ball a lot. We're done in the

794
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: round twelve here. Now the top suggestion for US is

795
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: Ron del Moore. That's not awful at this stage. Jamal Williams.

796
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: Coaches love them. They do. They've they've signed backs, and

797
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: they got a bunch of them. They do. I mean,

798
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: Swift is a first round type guy, Davante Parker. I'm sorry,

799
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 1: John Dotson, I should say I don't hate that. Then

800
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: we got two rookie wide receivers. That's not good. Who

801
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: was the first receiver you mentioned, Ron del Moore. I

802
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: think I'd take more over Dotson. Let's see who else

803
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: is there. Julio Jones, no, thank you, Robbie Anderson, no

804
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: thank you. Uh, Corey Davis. People kind of forget about him.

805
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: He's not terrible. They gave him money. Right start on Collins.

806
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't and that. I mean he's a true number two.

807
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: Let's take Nico Collins and they were going to be

808
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: behind a lot. He's very talent. You're gonna throwing the ball.

809
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: That's a that's kind of a high upside. I think

810
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,959
Speaker 1: I'm a month from now, he'll go two rounds higher

811
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: than this, without a doubt. Yeah. Now we might be

812
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: pretty set now at the wide receiver position. Um running back,

813
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: we're pretty we're pretty solid. I mean i'd take a

814
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: shot on a tight end, especially Fryar moves there. Let's

815
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: see what's available. No, a fan not bad Albert. Oh,

816
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: I'd probably go Alberto over Fan Gerald, Everett Tyler Higbee Uh,

817
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: Robert Tonyan No, thank you Evan Ingram for good things.

818
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust him. Austin Hooper. I

819
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: think Alberto is my favorite of that group. Yeah, I

820
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: mean again, take the upside guy and good quarterback. Yeah

821
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: you know that. Uh, they'll throw to the tight end

822
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: a little bit there. Russell Wilson does do that. The

823
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: what's Tim Patrick injury? Helps him? That helps him a lot? Yeah,

824
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: a lot, big body, didn't you know? Maybe two more touchdowns?

825
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: Or you know we're in a round fourteen here, Matt,

826
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,959
Speaker 1: how many we do? I believe we go uh, fifteen rounds?

827
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: So we gotta take a defensive kicker to finish off

828
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: our mock draft here. I have not given the defense

829
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: as much thought at all, So don't take a defense

830
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: first or a kicker first. Let's look at see it's

831
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: availbed Don Patriots defense, the Saints defense. He's good. Chargers Packers, Packers,

832
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: Packers think the Packers will be my number one? Yeah,

833
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: Packers defense onwhere that's that's that's a slam dunk. Yeah,

834
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: that's an easy one. Um, and then what the consensus

835
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: number one defenses? Yeah, haunt the Packers, not that I

836
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: don't know. Um. That leads us with just a kicker

837
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: to take Ryan suck Up, Nick Folk, Matt Prator, Rodrigo,

838
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: but lankin Ship Brandon McManus. Let me let me see

839
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: here if Boswell is available, where are you good? Omen

840
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: for the rest of our fantasy Absolutely, we did that

841
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: last year. Every time you just take possible. Yeah. Uh,

842
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: Young Hoku is available. They want that's actually pretty good.

843
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: Don't score any points, don't score any points? But he does?

844
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: Yeah he does. Um, Jason sand he's Robbie Gold. If

845
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: it's not bos I'm I'm ducking out the firm to you,

846
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: and I don't see any Uh. I don't see Boswell here.

847
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: So I'm imagine one of the first guys taking Jake Elliott. Uh. Yeah,

848
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't see him available here. I want somebody if

849
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: i'm I'm taking a kicker who has a late by

850
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: So Young Hoku's buys in Week fourteen. Yeah, that's like

851
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: right before the play. He's one of the better kickers

852
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: in the league. He's he's one of the guys. There

853
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 1: are three, there are three guys ahead of uh Boswell

854
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: on the all time make list, and Young Hoku is

855
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: one of them. He's a great player, yea, and he

856
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: kicks indoors for half of his games, actually more than half,

857
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: because he plays. So they gave us a grade of

858
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: eight out of a hundred on that, a B minus

859
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: according to the experts. Trey Lancer quarterback, Dalvin Cook and

860
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones at running back, Terry McLaurin, Allen Robinson a

861
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Kyle Pitts it tight end. Our flex right

862
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: now would be a J. Dillon Uh. If we get

863
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: the Packers defense, We've got Young Hoku. We're very invested

864
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: in the Packers. That's not a bad. That's not a bad.

865
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: And then on the bench we got Christian Kirk's guy more,

866
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Kenneth game Well, Nico Collins, and alberts Oh

867
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: from the Denver Broncos. I know we're up against A

868
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: quick question for you. A week one, we're setting our roster.

869
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: Who's reflects Dylan or Kirk. Let's go with Kirk. I

870
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: might go with Kirk, but Dylan's right right, Yeah, I

871
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: might want to see a game or two of how

872
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: the Packers played, but I think it's fifteen carries. He's

873
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: worthy of the flex. I bet he scores eight to

874
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns this year. Absolutely, yeah, yeah, I don't just

875
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: like that. Pick it up. That was our first mock

876
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: draft of the year. We hadn't really done that. I

877
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: take that team. Oh, I take that team absolutely. But

878
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: you know what, Matt, that is going to do it
