Speaker 3: on the Steelers Audio Network and it is time to

00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: start kickoff our number twere. It's Friday. It's mock Draft Friday.

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: Matt Fantasy for rustrators are coming up. And just for you,

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: just for me, a tip of the captain, my partner here,

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 3: we're in a league together. I brought Matt into a

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 3: league that I've been a part of now thirty two years.

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable, right, this is a long running fantasy football league.

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: And you you drew the second overall pick, yes I did.

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: And you have seven.

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: I have seven. You're in a bit of a conundrum here.

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: But what you want to do because you don't want

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: to be a two now? You want to swap I

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 3: don't on the air trade.

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: I really like, uh, I would rather be two that

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 4: I mean two leagues And I found out I'm two

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 4: and I'm an eleven. I'd rather be two than eleven.

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 4: I'd rather be seven six.

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: I think I think five, six, seven is the ideal

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 3: spot right now, that's kind of the sweet spot.

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 4: I think it's better for the second and third rounds too.

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you're getting two premium players and you're getting

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: in to your point, which what we talked about.

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: Those first seven or eight players pretty solid.

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: They're all pretty solid, and there's not a lot of

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 3: difference between the right but then that second tier guys

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: is a lot different and it's not it's not all

32
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: that deep.

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 4: So I think I said this yesterday that the difference

34
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 4: from the second pick to your seventh pick isn't as

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: great as from the seventh pick to the eleventh pick.

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: I think there's just a much bigger.

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: And I think that's a very valid point.

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're we're drafting here as we do on

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: Draft Wizard on fantasypros dot com.

40
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: A warning red flag devaon a chan in the second

41
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: third turn is going to be a conversation.

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: You can have them. I have have had it. I

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: don't I don't want to deal with it.

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: So Christian m Well, let's go through the as we

45
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: always do this.

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: The fun names the number one pick.

47
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 3: The team that has the number one slot is the

48
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: man in Za mirror.

49
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: Like that not bad? Yeah, Jamar Wars is number three?

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: Uh said Nadjoku to the Thief is that's well done.

51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: That's one of my favorites all time. I traded.

52
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: They changed the names out here now mcaffee if you

53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: can five, c D had a little Lamb is six.

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: The Bauer Puff Girls is seven.

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: Definitely got new names, no repeats, right, they hired somebody

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 4: new to do team names, and.

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to be the guy that just sits

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: around and thinks of these. Yeah, Lamar you serious? Is eight?

59
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: The fighting, the fighting, Puka Chu's fighting, Puka Chew's is nine?

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 4: Is that?

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yes, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a whatever thing.

62
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: War onner mentality. So Jayleen Warren getting up, uh smoke

63
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: in the mirrors quick, Jalen Warren might be a steel

64
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 3: right now in drafts.

65
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: Yeah if he gets don't fight on that.

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: And I'm on the edge of glorious twelve okay, well done? Yeah,

67
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: I like those.

68
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: Then the Joku one was that's going strong. Yeah, taking

69
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: Burmanism to do a new level.

70
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: So Christian McCaffrey went number one overall. Who you taking

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: it to?

72
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 4: It's a two horse race. It's Tyreek and its Lamb.

73
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 4: I lean towards Tyreek.

74
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: I'm injury scare you at all?

75
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: No, because thumbs don't Thumbs can be tricky though, I know,

76
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: I know you know if is it a spring thumb?

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: Did he tear that liqument in this thumb that I have.

78
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: That so yeah, kind of wiggles around all.

79
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have no real stability there.

80
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: That makes it hard to catch things.

81
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: I hear you. But I'm a little worried about Chase

82
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: Ayuk and Lamb not playing football lately.

83
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: I'm not. And here's why they're all under contract.

84
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: Chase is the one that's crazy, like he's got two years.

85
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: He's got two years often, so you're under contract. This isn't.

86
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: This is not a levey On Bell situation.

87
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: Lev On Bell was was a franchise tag player who

88
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: didn't sign the franchise tag, so technically he wasn't.

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: He wasn't under contract.

90
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, he wasn't football.

91
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: Player, but the Steelers held his rights. Correct. That's the difference.

92
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: These guys are under contract, so if they start skipping games,

93
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: even if they skip one, it's they get fined.

94
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 4: They get fined, and they don't get that page and

95
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 4: they don't get that paycheck. But I also worry about

96
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: the T Higgins disgruntled mid season.

97
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 2: That's the thing that you worry about.

98
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: If they have anything, they sit out, they just start

99
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 4: getting a little yeah player before team. I'm using a

100
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 4: second overall pick on this dude, like you better be solid,

101
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: and they both have a little bit of a ward.

102
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: I'm going Tyreek. Okay, I can't argue it. Yeah, Lamb

103
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: goes next, Jefferson, Hall, Rob and all the regular Yeah.

104
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: I mean together, there's fifteen names or we have no

105
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: shot at it. The second pick anyway.

106
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: So your pick is up here in the second round. Okay,

107
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: picks right ahead of you, Derrick Henry, Interested, Frake London,

108
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: Isaiah Pacheco.

109
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: So I've been given two thought, and I don't think

110
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get McCaffrey and the league we're in together,

111
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: I may be shocked, but if I do, I'm running

112
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 4: the podium. I probably am only going to do one

113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: running back in the top three rounds, and it won't

114
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: be round one because it's McCaffrey's gone part of me.

115
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: And I probably shouldn't even tell you this, but I

116
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: also have considered Bijon or haul two just because I'd

117
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: love to go receiver receiver here.

118
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: See, I don't care who I get. Yeah yet seven,

119
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be happy with you.

120
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 4: That's the beauty where you're picking who's who's. I'm not

121
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: interested in tight ends or receiver quarterbacks here, Okay, I

122
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: don't want to be the first.

123
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: So your top running backs available, a chan, here's my

124
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: here's my thing though.

125
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want two dolphins either, though.

126
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: That's the problem. You got two dolphins if you do that.

127
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 4: And you would trade them all by Halloween if you do, yeah,

128
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: because they're going to start.

129
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: The other thing is is he going to get enough

130
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: touches per game to be this is your number one back?

131
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: I know, I know that's kind of scary to me.

132
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: I might have an interest in somebody.

133
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: Like I was hoping Henry will be there.

134
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: To me, I would look at more of a Josh Jacobs. Yeah,

135
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna go there, because I know he's going

136
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: to be on the field.

137
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: I hear you.

138
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: I mean just as a more of a layup.

139
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: He's gonna get, he's gonna get. He never misses games

140
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: so real quick.

141
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 4: The one thing I do love about owning the second

142
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: and eleventh pick is I know I can control what

143
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 4: number one does. Number one is only going to take

144
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: one back, yeah, you know, at most, right, so one

145
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: of those two will be there, so I might go

146
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: receiver now and just get the back in the third round.

147
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: So who are the receivers that are who are the

148
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: best receivers and running backs?

149
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: Receivers are looking at Lave Wattle. You can't take Wattle.

150
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: I know, Pittman, Mike Evans, h Cooper, Cupp is there,

151
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: Brandon Ayuk, Deebo, Samuel DJ Moore.

152
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 4: See, that's one of the problems with I gave this

153
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: a little bit of thought, and I didn't think about

154
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: it today when we did it. Some of my favorite

155
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: targets at two and three are dolphins. Yeah, and two

156
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 4: of them's fine, But I play first two picks Campy Dolphins,

157
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 4: the first three picks Campy Dolphins.

158
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: You to take two of them, is right, right right?

159
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: Johnny Smith's my favorite tight end. And you know, like

160
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: there's only so many Dolphins you can have, and then

161
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: they all stink by.

162
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: All canceled out, and yeah, let's do a Lave. Okay,

163
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: that's a solid pick.

164
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: It's solid pick. Yeah, I don't love that neighborhood. I

165
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 4: know I'm not gonna be thrilled with my second round

166
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: pick no matter what.

167
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: Right now you're up again. Okay, you've taken two receivers.

168
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: We only start two receivers. Who's the number one guy?

169
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: Take back to back?

170
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: H Jalen Hurts and Jalen Wattle.

171
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: Okay, that doesn't really hurt you. No, not really, because

172
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: you were going to take Wattle and Hurts.

173
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: I want Wattle, but I can't take him in Hill.

174
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. So now you're looking at running back again. I'm

175
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: gonna take a chance. I know that hurts you.

176
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: So I would have taken Jacobs Jacob, I get.

177
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: It, I get it.

178
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: I just have a Chan, three or four running back spots.

179
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: Ahead of them.

180
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: I just want my touch monsters at that point though,

181
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: I understand. And now because you've taken a Chan, you

182
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: almost need that. You almost have to have that guy.

183
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: The solid Ramandre Stevenson.

184
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody who you know is going to get the

185
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: football consistently, possibly or just totally punt there, which is

186
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: also could be in the cards.

187
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: Uh, you're up now at eleven.

188
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 3: DJ Moore, C. J. Stroud and Kenneth Walker went right

189
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: ahead of you.

190
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: Walker would have been interesting.

191
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

192
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: Uh so the top backs available James Connor, Aaron Jones,

193
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: Ramondre Stevenson, David Montgomery, DeAndre Swift, Naujee Harris.

194
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: I think I have to take any of those guys now.

195
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: Top receivers available, DeVante Smith, Malik Neighbors, A Mauri Cooper

196
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: is A Flowers. I know we're ke Higgins. You're taking

197
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 3: You're taking Neighbors. Yeah.

198
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 4: So I think people know I do a lot of dynasty,

199
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 4: and people in my redraft league, like your league, we've

200
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 4: been together thirty some years or whatever or two. They've

201
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 4: realized one of my weaknesses is take the guys the

202
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: year after Williamson takes them, you know, because I reject

203
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 4: I get him a little or a year or two early. Yeah,

204
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 4: like my team last year, if you could give it

205
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 4: running back, I would blow my league away. Like they're

206
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: all the prospects that you know are a year.

207
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 2: Off, but you loved them in the draft.

208
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you buy into the preseason buzz and you know,

209
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: but I'm taking Neighbors in the third round all day long.

210
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're up here in the fifth round. Do

211
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: you think quarterback at all here. Do you think tight

212
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: end is the fifth round? Yeah?

213
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 2: Who was my fourth pick? Then? You just took the

214
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: leak neighbors.

215
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: I went hill, Oh yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, so I

216
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 4: have a chan hill a lave a neighbors.

217
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So I'm done at receiver. Well, you still

218
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: have your flex. Three receivers in a flex.

219
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: No, it's two receivers in a flex. So I'm starting

220
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: it could be running bad or a tight end for

221
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: that matter. Yeah, but I'm not gonna put neighbors on

222
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 3: the bench. Top players available to you here, any backs,

223
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: tight ends and Anthony Richardson, Frey McBride, Aaron Jones, James Connor.

224
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 4: Kind of like all those. So I'm gonna get two

225
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 4: of them probably.

226
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

227
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 3: The other quarterbacks available at this point Richardson, Kyler Murray,

228
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott.

229
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: I'm not taking a quarterback then, because Murray or Richardson

230
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 4: are fine with me, and I might not even take

231
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: him around the corner.

232
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 3: Top tight ends available McBride, Dalton Kincaid, Evan Ingram, Kyle Pitts.

233
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 4: Okay, I can live with any of those, not Ingram,

234
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 4: but I can live with the tight end or receiver.

235
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: Or running backs are still James Connor, Aaron Jones, Ormandre Stevenson,

236
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 3: David Montgomery, Nowge Harris.

237
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 4: Lean towards Aaron Jones. He's not the volume monster. I

238
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: don't love any of those names. Connor would be, but

239
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: he's a little too fragile. Yeah, I mean your point

240
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: about a chance valid in terms of can he stand

241
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: the fuel for seventeen games?

242
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: And I don't think he averaged twelve touches a game

243
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: even if he stays healthy.

244
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: Who's your favorite back there?

245
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 4: Like Stevenson's the on the awful offense, but I think

246
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 4: he'll get the most touches of those guys.

247
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: I'm a big Montgomery guy. Yeah, he's safe, he's gonna

248
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 3: have double digit touchdowns.

249
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 4: You take him over Aaron Jones.

250
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: I think he that's close.

251
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 4: That's close.

252
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: That's close.

253
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: Jones is the one I'm leaning towards, but I do

254
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: like Montgomery a lot. I'm definitely going with the back here, though.

255
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see Jones there. Let's do it.

256
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 4: Let's do Jones. I'm gonna try to get Ty Chandler

257
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: at some point though. Yeah, so now I'm probably going

258
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 4: to maybe I'll take another back. All those tight ends

259
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 4: and quarterbacks are there's a chance one of them falls.

260
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: Top backs available Najee Harris is a mere White, Raheem Moster,

261
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: Javonte Williams, a.

262
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: Lot about Oh, this was a long and I was

263
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: in the short way long ago. Okay.

264
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: Top receivers available Rashid Rice, Chris Godwin, Calvin Ridley, Jayden Reid.

265
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: That is drying up quickly.

266
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 4: I would have taken if I knew Rice was there.

267
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jaba is there.

268
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have three receivers though, DeAndre Hopkins, who the

269
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: tight ends in quarterbacks tight ends?

270
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: This is the short trip, right yeah.

271
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram, Jake Ferguson, David and Joku brock Bowers.

272
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 4: Ingram kind of stands out. How about the quarterbacks?

273
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: Now you're looking at Dak Prescott, Jordan Loved, Jaden Daniels,

274
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: Rock Party.

275
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: I think I'll take Ingram Okay.

276
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 4: I don't love that spot, and I'm not gonna love

277
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: this next pick either. Who's best available, best available?

278
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,840

Speaker 4: I'll take Naugy Okay. I have three backs. I can play.

Speaker 3: Yeah.

282
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 4: Either, I'm not gonna put so one of those backs

283
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 4: is gonna be on the bench, though I have a

284
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 4: tight end. Maybe to take two quarterbacks here.

285
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: Okay, so is your top quarterbacks available? Jayden Daniels, Brock Party,

286
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams.

287
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: To Attago Vailoa.

288
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,320

289
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, Jared Goff, Trevor, Lawrence, Kirk Cousins. Let's take

290
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: You could take the TUIs stack there.

291
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about Daniels and then around the corner taking

292
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: another one, either Tua or Lawrence.

293
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 3: I've done that a lot.

294
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 4: Daniels is high upside. Yeah, he's a million hits. So

295
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 4: let's take Daniels and start as long as you last.

296
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: He's gonna run.

297
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 4: I'm gonna back him up with somebody decent, either here

298
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: or the next round. Okay, so the best available. I

299
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: know there's quarterbacks there.

300
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,439

302
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,080

303
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 3: and now I also have Ingram you do, but but

304
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: two in Hill, I get it.

305
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: They can be explosive. I get it. Yeah, I just

306
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: have Lawrence really high on my list.

307

00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: round ten. Even need to look at the receivers. So

316
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: now you get Minnesota's backfield.

317
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Naugy is a three, which I'm pretty happy about.

318
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, running backs available here McLachlan, JK. Dobbins, Tyler, Alger Khaley,

319
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: O Herbert At receiver, you're looking at Josh Palmer, Romeo Dobbs,

320
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: Rashid Chah, Brandon Cooks. I think Josh Palmer stands.

321
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, in a big way. He's gonna get targets.

322
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: He might be their number one.

323
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: I think he is their number one.

324
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take.

325
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: Him with a good quarterback.

326
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 4: Mm hm, no, I think that's a good one. We

327
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: got four receivers, four backs, two quarterbacks. I don't even

328
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 4: care about backing.

329
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: That might turn round twelve now, okay, fifteen total sixteen.

330
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 4: Okay, so I get two more position players. Yeah.

331
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: Uh, top receivers available, Josh Downs, Dontavian Wicks, Gabe Davis

332
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: to Mario Douglas, maybe Wicks. Running backs you're looking at

333
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 3: Khalil Herbert, Marshawn Lloyd, Roshawn Johnson, Bucky.

334
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 4: Irving, Wicks.

335
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been a guy that I've taken some late

336
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: round flyer.

337
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I'm not gonna start him for a month,

338
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: but he starts to emerge. Be happy.

339
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: He might be running one Christian Watkins injury away from

340
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: being a stud.

341
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that happens regularly a lot.

342
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. All right, Round thirteen, here is up the top

343
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: suggested picks for you. Pat Fryermuth, I was guy should

344
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: ask about him, Marshawn.

345
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: Lloyd, Khalil Herbert, and the Jets defense.

346
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: Mouth.

347
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 3: There you go, Round thirteen, Pat Fryman, it's a good back.

348
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 4: I might be starting him over Ingram at one point.

349
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

350
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 4: I mean like they're at least comparable.

351
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah they're close.

352
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

353
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 3: Defense and kickers, Yeah you're up here now in round fourteen. Uh,

354
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: defense the top defense available. You get the Browns, you

355
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: got the Steelers, the Chiefs, the Bills, Browns Houston, Philadelphia.

356
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: Just to make our listeners, mad let's take the Browns.

357
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: Taking the Browns defense can't plan m when they're on

358
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: the road.

359
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 4: We're working on that. We'll get that fixed. Okay. Uh

360
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: And whatever kicker they recommend is fine.

361
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: This is around fifteen, se might get so justin Tucker's available,

362
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: Brandon Aubrey, you want Tucker?

363
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, keep it in the division.

364
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: He did not make her fifty yard field goal last year.

365
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: I know that's bonkers.

366
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: Aubrey might be the guy. Actually he made a sixty

367
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: six yard or the last Yeah, and your last pick

368
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: I got screwed up.

369
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: I would have taken kicker in the last year.

370
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever, all right, so you can just take the

371
00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: best available Alexander Madison, Rodrikstime, Kenneth Gainwell to Mario Douglas.

372
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: Give me a couple of names, Edwards, al aj Dillon.

373
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 4: It was all just running backs, Aalen Polk.

374
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: I want to see if there was one guy available here?

375
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 4: Is he?

376
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 3: Let me see here?

377
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 4: How don't I kind of forgot about my boy Johnny Smith.

378
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 4: But I was invested pretty heavy in Dolphins anyway. Yeah,

379
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 4: and I like I want to see if Ray Davis

380
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 4: is available, Dante Dante Foreman is available, he might be

381
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 4: a starter. He might be the starter in Cleveland. Miles Sanders,

382
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 4: Jamal Williams, will Shipley, Jordan Mason, Dylan Lobb, Dylan I

383
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: might be a starter too, Yeah, J P.

384
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: Ryan, Eric Gray, I.

385
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 4: Sleep taking Miles Sanders up in Dallas.

386
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: Deuce Vaughn, Corderyll Patterson, Michael Carter doesn't look like it

387
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 3: doesn't look like he's available.

388
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 4: You take it away.

389
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: Who you like out of those running backs.

390
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: Dylan Lobb came to mind, Miles Sanders came to mind,

391
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 4: and probably cutting them e the way in two weeks,

392
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: whoever this player is.

393
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: But if if that's going to be the case, I

394
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: would take Dante Foreman. Maybe hope he starts for Cleveland

395
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 3: in week one, maybe you can trade him mm hmm.

396
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,479
Speaker 4: Or hopefully Ford gets hurt in week one. Yeah, then

397
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 4: he's Forman's a good pick.

398
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, first month of the season, he'll at least get

399
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: the ball.

400
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: He's going to get the football, and maybe maybe you

401
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: can trade him after a couple of weeks and.

402
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, bad Chubb news comes out or something. Yeah,

403
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: you know, uh what We're set.

404
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: We got Jayden Daniels at quarterback, Devin a Chan Aaron

405
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: Jones at running back, Tyreek Hill, Chris Olave at wide receiver,

406
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,200

00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 3: and Deontay Foreman. That got you an eighty five out

410
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 3: of one hundred according to the Fantasy pros experts just

411
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: looking at.

412
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: Their grades overall. I like it, I don't love it.

413
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 3: Pat Fitmore, Pat fitz Morris gave us a a plus

414
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: ninety seven out of one hundred for that draft, Derek

415
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,160

Speaker 3: Pisapia a seventy nine out of one hundred. Projected standings.

418
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: We ended up being drafting.

419
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: The I forgot they do. That's Fantasy Pro.

420
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

421
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: The fifth best overall team in the league, our overall,

422
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 3: our starters, our third best in our bench, they said,

423
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: was fifth eleventh of quarterback ninth at running back, number

424
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 3: one at wide receivers.

425
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: Say receivers are stacked, sixth at.

426
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: Tight end, fourth at the flex position.

427
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, fifty the defense and special teams. Number one

428
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: at kicker. Okay, Justin Tucker. There you go. It's okay.

429
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: I don't love it.

430
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what I'd have done different looking back

431
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 4: on it. Would you rather have Lamb or Hill with

432
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 4: the rest of the roster you have? Because if I

433
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 4: would have taken Lamb, I might have taken Waddle. I

434
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 4: don't know if I'd taken Waddle over a lave though,

435
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: but I might have taken Lamb a lave waddle instead

436
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 4: of a Chan. But then they're really la run back

437
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 4: and I would not have neighbors. So no, I'm happy

438
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 4: though I did. Then I think it's a solid Yeah.

439
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it doesn't really have any true holes.

440
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 4: No quarterback and tight end. You're sort of at a

441
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 4: disadvantage against most opponents. Yeah, you can turn through those guys. Yeah, quarterback,

442
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: let's get to a break.

443

00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: immediately the speculation again, well it's Washington now back in

00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 3: right back in.

455
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,200

Speaker 2: In the sweepstakes here.

457
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: And you know, part of the reason for that is

458
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 3: that Jade and Daniels actually, even though Jaden and Daniels.

459
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: Is a rookie, used to throw balls to Ayuk.

460
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk is in his fourth year in the league.

461
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: They played together at Arizona State, their.

462
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 4: Buddy on several teams since then. Yeah, their buddies.

463
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: In fact, a lot of the stuff that you saw

464
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: this offseason on social media coming out of Ayuk's camp,

465
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 3: his camp included Jaden Daniels.

466
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 4: I know, yeah, I think they worked out together and

467
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: their titans and all that good stuff. And I'm not

468
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: exactly sure why, but he has some say where he goes,

469
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: and he's pretty publicly said if he's not in San Francisco,

470
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 4: he wants to be in Pittsburgh or Washington. Cleveland and

471
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 4: New England aren't for him. Not sure why, I don't

472
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 4: know whatever, that's up to him.

473
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: It's up you know. So and Mount Washington's got some

474
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: extra picks.

475
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: Washington has some extra picks right now. Washington's starting receivers.

476
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, you're looking at McLaurin. Yep, Diami Brown All

477
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 3: Almighty is the keys. Uh.

478
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 2: Luke McCaffrey's in that mix.

479
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

480
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: Uh, he's a third round picks. He's making the team.

481
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: Uh, Marcus Rosemary Rose, Jack Saint, he got Bryson's Tremaine

482
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: Jamison Crowder, Uh, Martavis Bryant.

483
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 2: Right now, he's Byron Pringle.

484
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 4: I heard some speculation that Bryan spent so good day

485
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 4: have their receivers figured out. I'm like, that's a long job.

486
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: Maybe he's flash.

487
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: I hope for his sake that he's figured it out

488
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: and and got got his life back on the straight

489
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: and era. Yeah, his issue was was I believe was

490
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: was marijuana.

491
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: I was about to say, like, my kids are gonna

492
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 4: laugh that his career got derailed the way it did,

493
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 4: you know, And he's not the only one you know,

494
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: like that ruined someone's career. Like, come on, man, but

495
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 4: that's the rules, played by the rules. Yeah, the roles

496
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 4: in the fifties and sixties and whatever too. Anyways, I

497
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 4: do hope he is a star then Abbie Brown's got

498
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 4: some good buzz, But I think he is what he is.

499
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 4: He's a downfield guy. McCaffrey's a pure slot. But I'm

500
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 4: sure they have some hope for him, like the Steelers

501
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 4: do with Roman Wilson. I don't think he's beound the

502
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 4: field much. He's got some sort of injury. It's obvious

503
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 4: that Washington knows they're bad, like real bad, and are rebuilding.

504
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 4: And they also have gone out of their way to

505
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 4: get high character, tough guys to change an awful building.

506
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 4: To be frank, you know, the the Bobby Wagners and

507
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 4: ERTs and Echolars and those type of dudes. That being said,

508
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 4: even as light as they are at receiver, by the

509
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 4: time they're good, Terry mclaurin's not gonna be good. Yeah,

510
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't understand why he would be super

511
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 4: invested in him, and why I brought up a high

512
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 4: character guys is because he's a tough guy and he's

513
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 4: a good guy to build around, and he'd be an

514
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 4: asset to any team. Steelers, But would you trade Dotson

515
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 4: and McLaurin, even if you were.

516
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: To add Ayuk?

517
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe if you get younger, you're getting younger. You're

518
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 3: giving your quarterback who you just spent the second overall

519
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: pick on.

520
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 4: It's all about making him, make him comfortable, right, yeah, right?

521
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 4: You know, if I'm the Niners, I'm not looking at

522
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: him like Washington's nipping on our heels for the super Bowl.

523
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 4: They're not a competitor to me, even though they're in

524
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 4: the NFC. You got the extra picks, I mean, could

525
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: you get him for a second?

526
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: And third?

527
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 3: My question would be, does Washington do a straight up

528
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 3: trade of McLaurin. McLaurin, and because I could see the

529
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: I could see San Francisco being interested in that.

530
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 4: No question, no question. It sure seems like they want

531
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 4: a player. Pierce All's not been active at all for them.

532
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 4: I don't like yet. So that's the first round pick

533
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 4: you can't count on, and they're in to win it,

534
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, like apparently they were highly interested

535
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 4: in the Mari Cooper. I'm sure they asked about Pickens,

536
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 4: which isn't going to happen, you know. I mean, at

537
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 4: least you have to ask. If you're John Lynch.

538
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: I would I'd like.

539
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 4: To see McLaurin end up here to be that would

540
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 4: be That would be what I would try to, Yeah,

541
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 4: an angle out of this. But I don't know why

542
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 4: you traded Dotson then, unless you needed the picks to

543
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 4: go get Ayuk, you know, like he just.

544
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: Wasn't going to be in your plans one way or

545
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 3: the other like Dotson.

546
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably not.

547
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 3: Diamie Brown has had I think he fits with with

548
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: what Jaden Daniels does.

549
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's fine because he's.

550
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 3: Going to get one on one coverage because Daniels is

551
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: going to free from downfield guy. He's a down the

552
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 3: field guy. Mclaurin's going to be your Jane Mover. Dotson

553
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 3: hasn't proven to be that no downfield guy, you know,

554
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: Is there a way you can prior Terry McLaurin off

555
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: of Washington if they land aug If they would land

556
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: Ayuk for the Steelers and not include McLaurin in that deal.

557
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 4: I think the answer is yes. And I'm sure I've

558
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 4: said this in some media outlet. But like before all

559
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 4: this nonsense, the drama, the of all the AYUK stuff

560
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 4: which I'm not even gonna bite and say, oh he's

561
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 4: going to Washington, I thought the best deal for the

562
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 4: buck would be McLaurin. You know, like I'm interested in Ayuk.

563
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 4: We talked about Adams with the Raiders. There's a lot

564
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 4: of other names have been thrown out there, but for

565
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: what he would cost and how he would fit in here,

566
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 4: McLaurin is probably my favorite target. Yeah, you know, he's

567
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 4: not super pricey in terms of the contract.

568
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 2: The contract's fifteen point one to five million.

569
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: I know you could get it. I don't know, but

570
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 4: I would bet everything I owned that you could get

571
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: him for a second. I wonder if you could get

572
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: him for a third plus third and fifth, third and

573
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 4: fifth next year. I don't know.

574
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: The other thing is he's also signed for next year.

575
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: I'd say his contract's nice at fifteen point two five million.

576
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 3: Maybe one of he might say I want to throw

577
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 3: my little extra money in there for case.

578
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 4: But how old is he he he's twenty nine, twenty nine, Okay,

579
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 4: I think he did not come out as a junior.

580
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 4: They had so many receivers. He took him while to

581
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 4: even like, yeah, be the man at the Ohio State

582
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 4: and he's playing a special team. Yeah, he was a

583
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 4: really good, tough guy. I'd be highly interested. But if

584
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 4: I'm the Niners, that's who I want that, I want McLaurin. Yeah,

585
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: give me McLaurin in a three.

586
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that doesn't even hurt them camp wise, because

587
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: McLaurin only makes a little bit more than Now. Again,

588
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: maybe get trade for McLaurin. And he says I want

589
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: a new deal.

590
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 4: I think he I would do that ifire him, it

591
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 4: might be your last crack. Yeah, Okay, we can give

592
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 4: you a bump. I mean, I'm not going to give

593
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 4: you thirty.

594
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get you. We're not gonna give you

595
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 2: what we're gonna give Ayuk.

596
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 4: No, Ayuk's worth more. Yeah, there's no question. But what

597
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 4: about Adams. I mean, if you think, as the Niners think,

598
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 4: give me a two and a three for Ayuk, send

599
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 4: a three to the Raiders for Adams in Super Bowl,

600
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: Tim McLaurin to the Steelers, Washington be light at receiver.

601
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but well they're a lad at receiver now though,

602
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: and they did it to themselves.

603
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: They did, but that was my design for them. I

604
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: yuk as an upgrade over McLaurin.

605
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 4: Yes, Andy's younger, and he fits their timeline and he

606
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 4: helps their quarterback, which has to be the huge goal here. Yeah,

607
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 4: what what makes Jade and Daniels gives him the bettest

608
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 4: best chance to turn into the best quarterback on.

609
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: The Planet's trading for his best bud.

610
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 4: Trade for the best bud who's hitting his prime. It's

611
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 4: a pristine route runner that fits every scheme.

612
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 3: And we just picked up an extra three so we

613
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 3: can we can make a three part of that package and.

614
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 4: Nothing and lose nothing. And if I'm the Niners, I

615
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 4: want Washington's picks, especially their second rounder, because it could

616
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 4: be thirty three. They're really bad.

617
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: Give me thirty three. I don't know, he could be

618
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: thirty three.

619
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 4: You're pretty low in the Patriots.

620
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: Pretty Patriots.

621
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 4: The lie is pretty terrible. Yeah, yeah, but it's going

622
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 4: to be an early.

623
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: It'll be somewhere in the thirties.

624
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 4: You might get a Yuke just for that too, maybe,

625
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 4: I mean maybe or in a four, yeah, or you know,

626
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: future four or something like that. Now I didn't really

627
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 4: lose anything at least I still have a second a third.

628
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 4: Are you anim get something for McLaurin. Yeah, if I'm Washington,

629
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 4: I mean Washington's just clean house, and not that McLaurin

630
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: has to go, but they just want fifty three new guys,

631
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, yeah, I mean, and that makes sense.

632
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: And again he's he's twenty nine. You know, in three years,

633
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: is he going to still be in the league.

634
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 4: If so, he's hanging on. Yeah, he'd be really useful here. Yeah,

635
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 4: I talk about claurin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, agree. I think

636
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 4: Adams is another one that's either one shown any drop off, right,

637
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 4: I mean they will one day, but there I would

638
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 4: think you get two or three good years out of both.

639
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 4: I know Adams is older.

640
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 3: Of the two, and Adams is making a lot more money.

641
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 4: He's a lot more money, and I think he'd probably

642
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 4: cost a little more in draft picks.

643
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: See, I would think because of the money might be

644
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: a little less. The age too, Yeah, the age and

645
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: the money is.

646
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 4: Production is better.

647
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: But the problem with with the Raiders trading him is

648
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 3: his camp hit actually goes it.

649
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: Hurts Hire Yeah yeah, yeah, And just in terms of

650
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: their timeline, though McLaurin and Adams don't do much for

651
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 4: the Raiders and Commanders. Yeah, I mean they're not close

652
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: to contending and the Raiders don't even have their quarterback

653
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 4: to get them as Woobie. Yeah, at least Washington does.

654
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 4: Just it's interesting.

655
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Laren would be really interesting.

656
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: I would feel differently maybe if there were more time.

657
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: But I understand that week in between the start of

658
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 3: you know, the extra week between the start of the

659
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: regular season in the last preseason game does give teams

660
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: a little bit of time to work something up. But

661
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 3: this we're talking about very complicated deals here we are.

662
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 4: I thought you meant more time to get them to

663
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: learn the offense.

664
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about that.

665
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 4: And I say, Russell Wilson will say run to go, Yeah,

666
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 4: running out. You know, I don't need to know all

667
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: the concepts. I'll just tell you what route to run.

668
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right.

669
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: You will get to know each other as the season seven,

670
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: slot six, you know, three whatever, and Terry you run this.

671
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Terry's like, what the heck does that mean? Like

672
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: just running out? Yeah, you give me an eight yard

673
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: give me an eight yard out.

674
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 4: I think Russell Wilson and DeVante Adams could figure things

675
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 4: out together or McLaurin. Yeah, that doesn't worry me. The

676
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 4: talks have to be going crazy though, they have to be. Yeah,

677
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 4: I mean much of these have de vauready been going

678
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 4: on for a month. You know, you're talking about the

679
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 4: time needed to get a deal done. Aren't the talks

680
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 4: in the barn by now? I mean? Does the dots

681
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 4: in trade change the plate tectonics of the wide receiver market? That?

682
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: The thing that makes it tough.

683
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 3: Is that the players involved are gonna want mon other deals, right,

684
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 3: and so you have to have that. You have to

685
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: have that worked out with the agent before you make

686
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: a deal like that, and you'd have to get permission

687
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: from the team to.

688
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: Talk to the agent.

689
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 4: I never know what to believe, but it sure seems

690
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 4: like the Steelers in IU kevia contract worked out, or

691
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: Washington and iuke a contract worked out, which isn't the

692
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 4: same as the Niner one because they don't they're not

693
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 4: giving them a contract he's as happy with. Now, I'm

694
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 4: sure no one's probably talk to McLaurin or Adams, right.

695
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: You'd have to get permission for the team to do that.

696
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now that's the flying the ointment for anything else

697
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: to happen with these things, So that would have to

698
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 3: happen really quickly.

699
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 4: No, that would have to happen really quickly. So correct

700
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 4: me if I'm wrong. But McLaurin is twenty eight years old,

701
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 4: twenty nine, twenty nine, and he's making eighteen ish.

702
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: He's making fifteen one and next year's eighteen.

703
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: Next year is fifteen two. Now his cap hit is

704
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: twenty four and twenty three six. But that's just money.

705
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: Out the door with the that's Washington problem.

706
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. Now if i'm his camp, his agent, this is

707
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 4: my opportunity to strike. Yeah, if someone's going to trade

708
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 4: for me, I'm not going to be the easiest guy

709
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 4: to deal. I'm not just gonna be like, Okay, I'm

710
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 4: just happy you got a Washington. Although that was I

711
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 4: want twenty five, I would win twenty five. That was

712
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 4: the exact same thing. I want a two year, fifty

713
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: million dollar deal. Basically, tear up my deal.

714
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: You can make you could do it.

715
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: Play on this year.

716
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: Hey, I want to I want three years.

717
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: I want sixty million dollars, sixty I want seventy million dollars.

718
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 4: Something croptured. However you want, Yeah, most of it's guaranteed.

719
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 4: I said something, I kind of regret he's played for

720
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 4: the worst organization in the league his whole life. Yeah,

721
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 4: you know how attractive the Niners or Steelers would be

722
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 4: just culturally, you know, like just get me out of here.

723
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I know they have new ownership, and I'm

724
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 4: sure that there's more optimism and going to works better

725
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 4: now than it used to be. But he's had a

726
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 4: brutal situation.

727
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that deal he signed.

728
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: You know, he signed that deal with Washington in June

729
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty two. It was a three year, sixty

730
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 3: eight point three million dollar contract, which at the time

731
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 3: was a big deal.

732
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

733
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I remember it was like was he worth that?

734
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: Now it looks like a bargain.

735
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

736
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 4: But if you're him, if he plays out his contract

737
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 4: in Washington, chances are he's not going to make another

738
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 4: big payday. Yeah, he's probably if he's still playing well,

739
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 4: he's in the fifteen neighborhood. I know there's add inflation

740
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 4: to that. Yeah, you know, but this would be his

741
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 4: last time to strike while the iron's hot.

742
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 3: Might take twenty two. Yeah, you know, like I said,

743
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 3: three year sixty five and the thing is, and nobody

744
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 3: ever factors this into things. The cost of living in

745
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 3: San Francisco is awful, is the highest in the country. Yeah,

746
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 3: so getting twenty eight million from the Steelers is not

747
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 3: getting twenty eight million from the forty nine ers. Much different, easy,

748
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 3: even more than And I understand cost of living is

749
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 3: when if you're making twenty eight million dollars, you're not

750
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 3: necessarily worried about what a gallon of milk costs, but

751
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: real estate you are.

752
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I've told the story in

753
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 4: the air all the time, Like I worked for Walt Harris,

754
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 4: a pit he got hired by Stanford pricey spot, Yeah,

755
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 4: a little more in that area, in that area wanted

756
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 4: to take our take the whole staff with them, And

757
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 4: guys like our running back coach are like, yeah, I'm

758
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 4: getting raised to go to Stanford, but it's a pay cut.

759
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 4: I can't go. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like

760
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 4: the cost of living, that's that that can't happen. And

761
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 4: I tell this story too. When we were at Akron,

762
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 4: the offense and defensive coordinator from Duke in North Carolina

763
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 4: had just been let go and we hired them as

764
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 4: our coordinators. They sold these little houses in North Carolina

765
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 4: and bought mansions and acron You know, that's what it matters, right,

766
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 4: you know. And you know an other thing people want

767
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 4: to talk about enough in this league is no state

768
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 4: income taxes in some places.

769
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: It is such an advantage Florida. Yeah, such an advantage.

770
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 4: How many millions of dollars that costs over a one

771
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 4: hundred million dollar contract.

772
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: It's a big difference, it really is. And so you know,

773
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 3: those are things. Maybe that's the hold up. Maybe the

774
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 3: Steelers in the forty nine ers are both offering AYUK

775
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 3: the same exact contract.

776
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 2: But it's better deal here.

777
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: But the Steelers contract is basically worth two million dollars

778
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: more per year because because it is, because it is,

779
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 3: because it is the cost of living and all that stuff.

780
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 4: Yeah right right, I mean yeah, everything about it. Cheezburger's more,

781
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 4: I mean everything's.

782
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: You can't get around out there.

783
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 4: It's a mess. Yeah yeah.

784
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, So now that stuff matters absolutely.

785
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: But we'll see if something happens with some of these,

786
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 3: if there's another shoe to drop after the Johan Dotson deal.

787
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 4: That one raised an eyebrow though, like maybe there's something

788
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 4: more going on here. Yeah, I didn't think he'd get

789
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 4: shipped off, but you know they just need picks too. Yeah.

790
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, let's get through another break. He is the Matt Williamson.

791
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: I am Dale Lolly. You're listening to the Drive on

792
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: the Steelers Audio Network. We'll be back to finish up

793
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 3: the show right after this.

794
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: At least is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

795
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven Home of the

796
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

797
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 2: And we're back. I am Dale Lolly.

798
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: He is the Matt Williamson and Matt of course, the

799
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 3: Steelers play their preseason finale on Saturday at one o'clock

800
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: in Detroit. When we come back on Monday, what are

801
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: we talking about?

802
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 4: Boy?

803
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson looked a lot better. I'm not super worried

804
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: about him. He's not totally shot.

805
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 4: He doesn't stink.

806
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 2: He talks about the last week.

807
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 4: He's completing passes and they're protecting him and they're moving

808
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 4: the ball. I think that's to be expected, and I'll

809
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: be disappointed if it doesn't happen. Maybe three or four

810
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 4: young guys that make a case in the second half

811
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: of I wasn't sure if he was gonna make the team,

812
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: But now he just made a stronger case for himself,

813
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 4: and I hope we could keep that guy around in

814
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 4: some way, shape or form. What else?

815
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 3: What I hope we're not talking about is, boy, what

816
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 3: are they gonna do without this guy?

817
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 4: Right? Yes, that's a big concern. Another O line injury

818
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 4: would really worry me. A corner injury would really worry me.

819
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 4: What else.

820
00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 3: I think we could be saying, Boy, Keonu Benton, he

821
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 3: looks like he might be on the edge of stardom here.

822
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 4: I think he is no matter what. Yeah, I really

823
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 4: do believe that. And I need to go look at

824
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 4: his snap counts for the first two preseason games. But

825
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 4: I think they're kind of just saying I don't need

826
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 4: to see anything the kind of him. Yeah, yeah, a

827
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 4: little bit like of course he's gonna dress. He's not

828
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 4: getting Cam's treatment, nor should he. But I don't need

829
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 4: to see anymore. You know, it will unleash you in

830
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks.

831
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: I want to see ogun Joby play like he did

832
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: last week.

833
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 3: That was very If Ogu Joby can play like that, yeah,

834
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 3: this this defense could be scary.

835
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 4: It could be nasty. That front would be really something

836
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 4: I've always this isn't a knock on. Every player is different.

837
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 4: I think less of Ogan Joby is more, you know,

838
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 4: Like I think if he's playing sixty snaps a game,

839
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 4: he's not as effective per snap than when he plays forty.

840
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 4: But he doesn't have to play sixty, right, you know

841
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 4: what I mean? I mean, even if one of them's hurt,

842
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 4: he's still you can mix in Leal on throwing downs,

843
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,959
Speaker 4: you can. Benton's going to get a bump. Benton hardly

844
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 4: played on third downs last year. Yeah, I'm fine with

845
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 4: Benton being out there on third and eight, him, him

846
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 4: and Cam or him and Ogen Joby. I mean, that's fine.

847
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 3: I want it to be an it like, I want

848
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 3: them to be looking at this and going, well, okay,

849
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: who's who do we put out there?

850
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

851
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 2: Because we got too many guys.

852
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 4: I mean, between Cam, Ogan Joby and Benton, if they

853
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 4: could all play close to equal snaps and keep them

854
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 4: as fresh as possible.

855
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: I'm not I don't mind putting montrevious sALS out there.

856
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 4: I don't either.

857
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 3: He showed me a lot.

858
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 4: Oh he's a good football player. Yeah, yeah, I think

859
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 4: he's a useful any down a distant situation. He's not

860
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 4: ideal on third and eight, don't get me wrong, but

861
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 4: he is not just a plugger. He can run, he

862
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 4: can get upfield. He's useful. Yeah, there's no doubt about it.

863
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 3: And I'm interested to see again we all. You know,

864
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna get an opportunity is standing up

865
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 3: this week? Can he then also kick inside in the

866
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 3: same game and yeah, yeah, get some pass rush up

867
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: the field.

868
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 4: He gives you a little bit of a Nascar feel

869
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 4: to it if you can be a true d tackle

870
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 4: on nickel dime that kind of thing, stunts and loops

871
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 4: and things like that.

872
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 3: And that's not as easy as I think a lot

873
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 3: of people might think. No, No, it's a much different

874
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 3: pass rush skill set off the edge than it is inside.

875
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 4: Very much so. Like I remember when the Giants with

876
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 4: like straight hand and tuck and those guys start inventing

877
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 4: that stuff, and it's like, oh, everybody should do it,

878
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 4: Like not necessarily. You got to really fight in tight quarters.

879
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 4: If you're going to line up over a guard or

880
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 4: in the a gap and you know.

881
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 2: You can get double teams, you're gonna get all that.

882
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 4: You're gonna bang a lot there's a couple. I mean,

883
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 4: think about what Garrett et cetera. There's several steps you

884
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 4: often don't get touched, you know, several steps before the

885
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 4: first contact. Not what every team's trying to change that

886
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 4: with a tight end or a running back or whatever.

887
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 4: But that's a different world. Then I'm making contact with

888
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 4: you now, and that first step, I'm getting my hands

889
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 4: on you. You know. But that being said, Leol has

890
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 4: done a lot of it. Yeah, I mean, I don't

891
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: question that.

892
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 3: He can get in college. He's done it right, done

893
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 3: in the pros. That's the thing with him is that

894
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 3: he's actually done it.

895
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 4: He's done it. Yeah, he may be more detackled than end.

896
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 4: You know, we're kind of figuring that out. Another odd one,

897
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 4: since we're talking D line, Lowry might be one of

898
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 4: the best players on the field in the second half,

899
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Like he's been around the block,

900
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 4: he's he knows how to play in this league. I

901
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 4: don't know how much he'll play, but like if he's

902
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 4: playing against third string guards, he should be making plays

903
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 4: in the back.

904
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: He should be tossing guys out of the bar.

905
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Like, Okay, you're gone, I'm a I'm an

906
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 3: NFL player, you're not. Yeah, yeah, and that's what you

907
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 3: want to see with those guys who are. That's that

908
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 3: to me was you know, the big thing with Watts

909
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: last week. He's out there in the fourth quarter and

910
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 3: he was clearly the best guy in the field.

911
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 4: On the best on the field. And I'm not picking

912
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 4: on Fields, but he hads that look about him late

913
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 4: in the game too.

914
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but gets excited.

915
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 3: Everybody got all excited like, look, yeah, he should be

916
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 3: dominating these guys.

917
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 4: And I was a little critical of Fields and that. Okay,

918
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 4: he had some nice runs in the second half, but

919
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 4: he's running when he wasn't pressured sit in the pocket

920
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 4: and do quarterback stuff.

921
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. I know you can run.

922
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 2: We all know you can run.

923
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 3: And you're out there playing with a bunch of future

924
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: Amazon doc workers. It's not get too carried away here.

925
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 4: Right, And it's different if it's Week ten against Baltimore

926
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 4: and you're ripping off twenty five yard runs because we

927
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 4: know he can do that, we know you can do it.

928
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 4: You know, that's great that you always have that ace

929
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 4: up your sleeve. But if you're not getting pressured in

930
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 4: the pocket, stand in there and wait for routes to develop.

931
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 4: You know you could do more of that. Yeah.

932
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

933
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 3: Are we talking about only.

934
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 2: Two quarterbacks playing this game? We need to see Allen.

935
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 3: I don't think you do. Yeah, I don't think you do.

936
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 3: I think you played well Fields like crazy.

937
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Because and.

938
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 3: Again, the national narrative and the narrative with some Steeler

939
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 3: fans is going to be what it is.

940
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's their starting quarterback.

941
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Fields has the better game. It's not

942
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 4: apples to apples. It's not going to change who starts

943
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 4: in Atlanta.

944
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 2: I don't.

945
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 3: I don't think one iota. No.

946
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 4: I mean, frankly, if it was Kenny Pickett, if it

947
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 4: was Rudolph for whoever, I would play them a ton

948
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 4: in this game. Yeah, get Wilson some snaps, have some success,

949
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 4: get them out and then.

950
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: Develop the other talented player.

951
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

952
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 3: I don't need to see Allen, No, I don't. I

953
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 3: don't either. I want to see Peyton Wilson. Yeah, have

954
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 3: a good game. I want to see him out there

955
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 3: directing traffic and the nickel and dime when Patrick Queen

956
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 3: is no longer out there.

957
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great one.

958
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 3: And I want to see him doing that stuff when

959
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,959
Speaker 3: they're in their base, when it's him and Robinson out there.

960
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would assume that's a lot of second half

961
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 4: snaps will be him and Robinson. Yeah, how about one

962
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 4: of those Moon or Wegman or one of those type

963
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 4: of dudes.

964
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: Can they make enough of an impact?

965
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to do something on special teams because

966
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 3: this team seems really intent on Leal being that with outsideline.

967
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 2: Backer's say, can one of them get two second half sacks?

968
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if I don't know if that does it.

969
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 3: I think I think it has to be special teams plays. Yeah,

970
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 3: I think you've got to go out there and do

971
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 3: something on teams as it makes them go wow, maybe

972
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 3: we got to take a look at this.

973
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 4: Or he hasn't been great with his special teams assignments.

974
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 4: And he was totally sound and made nice play and

975
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 4: was good under you Like, that's that's a tough guy

976
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 4: to keep. Yeah, that's that fourth out side line.

977
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 2: You're probably looking at practice squad. That just gets you

978
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: onto the practice room.

979
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 4: You have a conversation with him like, hey, we're gonna

980
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 4: release you, but we're gonna skoop you right back up

981
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 4: if you if you pass waivers.

982
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I want to see the young cornerbacks.

983
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, this would be about I mean, can we be

984
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 3: talking about, Wow, that was a heck of a pick

985
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 3: Darius Rushhead or DeMont you know, or Corey trace was

986
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 3: you know that was that was a really nice pass

987
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 3: break up you had.

988
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,479
Speaker 4: Or even just lines receivers did nothing this day? Yeah,

989
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 4: you know again, you're not You're gonna get Hendon Hooker

990
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 4: throwing to not Saint Brown and they're not a deep receiver.

991
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: Room is he one of the other brothers not Saint Brown.

992
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 4: They've all got some weird Yeah, but you would just

993
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 4: look and just think about the depth chart. Their receivers

994
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 4: shouldn't be that daunting in the second half, particular, like

995
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 4: when Trice and Rush are out there a lot, I

996
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 4: want them to shut these dudes.

997
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 2: You know, I think trust Trush and Rice might be

998
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 2: out there rushing Trice. You might see them early in

999
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 2: a second in the first first half, Like, I don't.

1000
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 3: Know that I need to see a lot of Joey

1001
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 3: Quarter and Dante Jackson out there in this game.

1002
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 4: True, I might play those guys seventy SAPs.

1003
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 3: They need as much playing time tomorrow to our point

1004
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 3: when we talked about earlier in the show, because they're

1005
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 3: all so young, this is their first this is really

1006
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 3: the first preseason for the Steelers for both of them.

1007
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. More I think about it,

1008
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 4: they might be almost full time players.

1009
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 2: For me, I mean they I want those guys playing

1010
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 2: fifty snaps each.

1011
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't need to see the depth dudes that

1012
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 4: aren't making the team. Yeah, I understand it. In the league,

1013
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 4: does it just to get out of games. But I

1014
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 4: kind of hate the fourth quarters of the final games

1015
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 4: that they're.

1016
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 3: Just running guys run, And yeah, they're.

1017
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 4: Letting guys get some tape. And you know a lot

1018
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 4: of non football players out there, a lot of non

1019
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 4: professionals out there. I get it, though, I mean they're

1020
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 4: kind of throwing you had a nice camp, you worked hard,

1021
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 4: put something on tape for us.

1022
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 2: I don't know how much of.

1023
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 4: That we'll see from the Steelers. Yeah, I think they're

1024
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 4: playing on more of a goal to get the traces

1025
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 4: of the world as many snaps as possible.

1026
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 3: I know Mike Toalman's not going to do it, because

1027
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 3: he said he's probably not going to do it, But

1028
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 3: Cordell Patterson returning a kick.

1029
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna be John Reice Plumbley again. I guess

1030
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,919
Speaker 2: what about like all the other backs too.

1031
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind, you know, seeing some of those guys

1032
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 3: do it and just see maybe he got something.

1033
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 2: With one of these guys.

1034
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah where I mean that group of other running backs

1035
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 4: I think have done reasonably well for themselves. Yeah, you know,

1036
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 4: I mean Ward and he didn't play last game, but

1037
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 4: I mean maybe he is. He backed for this one.

1038
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't even know, but I think he should be.

1039
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 4: Somebody that would be interesting to put on the practice squad,

1040
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 4: and they've experimented with those guys returning kicks. I don't

1041
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 4: know Plumbley needs to be on the field at all.

1042
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 3: It's nice that he's able to do all these other things,

1043
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 3: but right I need to see other guys doing these things.

1044
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 4: I'm not sure he's great at them. Yeah, I mean,

1045
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna make people forget about Coldoral Patterson,

1046
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 4: you know, Y Turner. I mean, he's interesting player and

1047
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 4: tough and I'm glad he's involved, but I don't think

1048
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 4: he's going to take many of the house.

1049
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 3: Might know he's got some got some moves there, but yeah,

1050
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's going to be I think

1051
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 3: the main thing that we'll be talking about, though, is

1052
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 3: the offense. And Okay, this is what this is what

1053
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 3: has looked like in the training camp practice, is in

1054
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 3: the joint practice with the Bills.

1055
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 2: This is what we've been seeing.

1056
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And then again, I don't think you're going

1057
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 4: to see a lot of scheme stuff. I don't think

1058
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 4: you're Maybe you'll see some motion and play action, but

1059
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 4: I don't think you're gonna see deep into the bag

1060
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,280
Speaker 4: of Arthur Smith tricks.

1061
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 3: No, but maybe a little more twelve and thirteen personnel

1062
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 3: in this game just because you want to.

1063
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 2: You know, again, you're not showing exactly.

1064
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 3: And the great thing about Arthur Smith's offense, and I've

1065
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 3: heard this from multiple people, is that you get the

1066
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 3: same a lot a lot, but you do different things off.

1067
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 2: Different things out of it. Yeah, that's definitely a.

1068
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 3: Big It doesn't matter that you're in thirteen personnel. You

1069
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 3: got forty seven different plays you can run.

1070
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 4: Off of that, and this motion doesn't trigger that you're

1071
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 4: going to this play.

1072
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 3: Which was part of the problem with the Canada offense.

1073
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 3: If you line up like this, you were gonna run

1074
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 3: one to two plays.

1075
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 4: It became a real trend. And even things like early

1076
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 4: in the season when they were in shotgun they threw

1077
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 4: a really high percentage of time. When they were in

1078
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,959
Speaker 4: behind center, they ran a high percentage of the time,

1079
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 4: like things that were too easy to figure out. That

1080
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 4: stuff won't be trends here. Yeah, so we'll see. I

1081
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 4: think it should be a uh. I expect a better

1082
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 4: game this week. I just do because they've game planned

1083
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 4: for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it sounds like an excuse,

1084
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 4: but I don't think the Bills or Steelers played their

1085
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 4: best game two days after a very physical joint practice. Yeah.

1086
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I've said this a bunch. You know,

1087
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,960
