As always, 26 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: I certainly missed it from last year. There's some themes 27 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: from the combine. I'm sure we'll talk about speed and 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: is one thing I saw a lot of people as 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: you as you mentioned, But yeah, I'm happy to be home. 30 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: And I gotta be honest, like the the twenty four 31 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: hours since I walked in my front door have kind 32 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: of been a whirlwind. Two. Like there's of course, there's 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: all the daddy things that needed done here that didn't 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: get touched while I was gone, But I also wanted to, 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: you know, go back and try to watch as much 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: of the coverage as I could and putting some rankings 37 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: together and just combining a whole bunch of thoughts. Yeah. Absolutely, 38 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: And it gives you a chance to kind of take 39 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: a step back from everything and Okay, I'm gonna take 40 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: an overview now look of of everything that was happening 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: out there, because when you're immersed in it out there, 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, you missed too much stuff. There's just so 43 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: much stuff going on. It's like century overload to a 44 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: certain degree. Um. And then you get a chance to 45 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: step step back, take a breath, uh, and and figure out, 46 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, okay, what's gonna happen now, and we'll do 47 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: a we'll do our first post combine mock draft later 48 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: in the show, just a little teacher on that line. 49 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: We have maybe some better ideas of someone who are 50 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: who some of these guys are. You're starting to learn 51 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: more than names the you know, matching names to faces 52 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: or or okay, oh yeah, that guy I saw him, 53 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: you know combine. I like the way he moved, that 54 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and then you you learn a little 55 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: bit more about them. But Tuesday is the deadline for 56 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: franchise tags and all those kind of things around the league, 57 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: and uh, we're starting to see a few of those 58 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: come in, including the Brown putting the tag on David 59 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: and joeku Um a little bit of a surprising move 60 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: considering the the number of potential free agents at the 61 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: tight end position. There's like ten starting caliber free a 62 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: free agent tight ends available this year, and now you're 63 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: gonna pay David and Joku. Eleven million dollars just leads 64 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: me to believe that they're going to release Austin Hooper. Yeah. 65 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: I wanted to get to that in a second because 66 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: you kind of talked about how it's good to get 67 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: home regroup, and that's what teams are doing right now too. 68 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: You know, they're all going back to their quarters and 69 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: you know, scouts are gonna double check some tape and 70 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: this isn't the final piece of the puzzle and Indy, 71 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: but it's a final athletic piece, you know for sure, 72 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: and one of the major pieces that've been waiting for. 73 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: And I'm sure teams are going. Boy, I thought this, 74 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't safety class was gonna be a little better 75 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: than it was. We might need to prioritize free agent 76 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: safety more than we thought and getting their game plans together. 77 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: But there's no rest for the wicked. I mean, as 78 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: you said, these franchise tag teams, they got about another 79 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: twenty four hours to figure it out if they're who 80 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna keep keeping house. And before free agency opens, 81 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: there's already some trade talks bubbling and things like that, rumors, 82 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, and a lot of these gms have all 83 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: chatted it up in indeed, and then next time we 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: blinked the I mean free agency is gonna be opening. 85 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: So there's this next couple of weeks are gonna be 86 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: a whirlwind. Absolutely, and we would be remiss if we 87 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: did not at least mention the whole. Aaron Rodgers report 88 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. I've been told that that's ridiculous, um by 89 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: people in the know, UM people that I trust. I said, 90 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: there there's there are no there's no trade offer on 91 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: the table. It's just what people need to understand about 92 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: something like that is that is either the agent or 93 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: the team trying to drum up interest on in a 94 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: situation from right, that's where it comes from. You know, 95 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: somebody says, we can we can create some interest here 96 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: if we put and the more teams the better question. 97 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: You know you're trying. You know, when we have Max 98 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: Stark's m who was on with us all last week, 99 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: he talked about it, you know when he went into 100 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: free agency. You know he says, you get you get 101 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: two teams interested in you, and you know that kind 102 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: of drives the price up. And then if you get 103 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: that third team in there, now it really starts to 104 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: drive the price up. So you know when you hear 105 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: the Steelers mentioned uh in something like that, is in 106 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: a potential trade for Aaron Rodgers. And then you see 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: there was a report out of Denver what the Broncos 108 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: would would likely be offering, and it was this year's 109 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: first and second and next year's first like the Steelers. 110 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: The Broncos pick nine, the Steelers are a twenty. The 111 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: Broncos pick again eleven spots ahead of the Steelers in 112 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: the second round this year as well, and then you're 113 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: throwing in next year's first round draft picks. So to 114 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: beat the Broncos offer, they would have to then offer 115 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: more than what the Broncos are offering. I have something 116 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: good at to throw in there, but I forgot to 117 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: mention the Joku um. I just wanted to throw two 118 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: little nuggets. Okay. I think people realize, or maybe they don't. 119 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean, the Browns run more personnel by far, by, far, by, 120 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: far by far than any team in the league's. The 121 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: tight end position is very valuable to them. I was 122 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: very impressed with the Joku season, and unlike earlier in 123 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: his career, I thought his quarterback held him back as 124 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,559 Speaker 1: opposed to the other way. Around, and I do agree 125 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: with you this probably means Cooper's gone, but I'm not 126 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: excusing what it looks like an overpay on the franchise 127 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: tag from the Joku. But he is hitting around that 128 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: twenty seven age, you know where he's probably hitting his prime. 129 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: We know, tight ends take a while. I would hate 130 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: to see him go if I were in the Brown's organization, 131 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: and if it's the expensive Hooper, so be it. But 132 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a special player. I agree, yeah, okay. 133 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: Um As for Rogers, I think Steeler fancyed to look 134 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: at it this way. If you recall the Steelers traded 135 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: from twenty to ten to get Bush correct correct, that 136 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: costs them twenty next year's first and a third. Right, No, 137 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: it was it was twenty uh that year's second and 138 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: in the third and the next season. You're thinking, you're 139 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: you're computer making Fitzpatrick was the future first. But my 140 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: point is that's denver ninth pick. Overall, it's probably worth 141 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: twenty and next year's first, you know, just to match 142 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: the number nine, just to get to nine. Would you 143 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: rather have nine? World? You rather have twenty and next 144 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: year's first, with next year's first being an Aaron Rodgers 145 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: lead team, you know, which probably is not going to 146 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: be a top fifteen pick. You know, so if any 147 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: of those rumors are half you know correct, out of Denver, 148 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: you basically have to give up this year's first and 149 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: next year's first just to match their number one, let 150 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: alone their second, which is better than yours. And you're 151 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: the first next year, which is also an Aaron Rodgers 152 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: led team. But you're out of stuff to give all 153 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Yeah, right now, now you're adding in 154 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: uh you know, maybe a player, maybe maybe two players 155 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: or you know, a potential Well you have to throw 156 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: in next year's second as well, right, I mean, you're 157 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: out of draft picks basically, Yeah, you're you're getting You're 158 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: going completely going the Rams route and just saying, oh, 159 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: by the way, then you gotta pay, and you gotta 160 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: pay them. Then you gotta pay them, which is one 161 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: I mean again, you get Aaron Rodgers. And I think 162 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: as the team is constructed, even without a first and 163 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: second this year and you have some cap space, you 164 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: could probably be very much in not only the divisional hunt, 165 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: which is a really difficult division, but I think you 166 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: could compete, you know, if everything goes well to win 167 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: the whole thing. I mean, I don't think that's crazy. 168 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: If Rodgers plays like an m VB, and maybe that'll 169 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: be true for two or three years, and I would 170 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: understand it. But it's gonna cost more than people think, 171 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: is my point. Here's my problem with it. Okay, so 172 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: Rogers is gonna be they have thirty million dollars in 173 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: cap face. Obviously they can create some more cap space, 174 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: but they also have holes, Like just just getting Aaron 175 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers doesn't fix your cornerback situation, doesn't get you wide 176 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: receivers to fill out the rest of your roster. No, 177 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: by the way, you traded the way your first and 178 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: second round pick, so you're not you're not feeling that 179 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: that way. You're not going that route to do it. 180 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: So you have to go the free agent route to 181 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: do it, and you wouldn't have the money to do so. No. Right, 182 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it makes no sense at all, 183 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: because is that from a football standpoint, acquiring Aaron Rodgers 184 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: makes sense. Everybody would say, oh, I'm into that. From 185 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: a logistical standpoint, it does not, especially if you're competing 186 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: with denver Um Real Quick. Tennessee has been linked to 187 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: him as well. I guess I kind of get that. 188 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: But I mean I look at the Titans and say, 189 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm the favorite to win this division with Tannehill, but 190 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: if it costs me probably more than two first again, 191 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: if Denver's in this, well, they would probably then include 192 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: tanney Hill in that package. As I said, I wonder 193 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: where Tannehill goes. That's the one piece of Steelers don't 194 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: have quarterback. Yeah. Yeah, he could go to Washington or 195 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: t Bay or here. Whatever they could work they could 196 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: work at well, they could work out even something with 197 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: with Green Bay where he would be package, or they 198 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: could they could work at a three way deal where 199 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: Tannehill goes somewhere and somebody else gives up there second 200 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: round pick to go to Green Bay, you know, or 201 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: something like that. That's that's where I was going with that, 202 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: is the Titans have one more ship that the Steelers 203 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: don't in the equation. Yeah, a starting quarterback, A starting 204 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: quarterback that'll be coveted by five or six teams at least. 205 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah to me, you know, And that's why, you know, 206 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: we talked about this a lot last week, and you know, 207 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: the the whole free agent thing. You know, quarterback situation 208 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: makes so much more sense. You're not giving up draft 209 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: picks to get that guy. You're not. It's not going 210 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: to cost you an arm and a leg to acquire 211 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: any of these free agent quarterbacks this year, and you 212 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: get it. You get the position taken care of before 213 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: you go to the draft. The kicker on in this 214 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: to me is that I don't think Jimmy Garoppolo is 215 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: going to be tradeable before the draft. He's his surgery. 216 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 1: It's it's on a capsule in his shoulder, in his 217 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: throwing his throwing shoulder. So he is then not going 218 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: to be able to He's gonna have surgery. He's not 219 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: gonna be tradeable after immediately after the surgery. I believe 220 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: the surgery will take place. If it hasn't already taken place, 221 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: you should take place this week, Yeah, right around this neighborhood. 222 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, So he's not tradeable until probably after the draft. 223 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: So if you don't sign somebody, you get shut out 224 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: in the quarterback market in the draft. That's your fallback 225 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: option is to trade three draft pick for Jimmy Garoppolo, 226 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: who we know I don't love, sure, but but he 227 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: has value. He's that's value. Yeah, he's he's he's an 228 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: NFL starter. Yeah, I mean I think the Steelers have 229 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: been better last year with Jimmy than Ben, you know, 230 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 1: so it's an upgrade of what you've been playing with Um. 231 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: And I think I think they're I think they would 232 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: have been a better overall offense with him. Yeah. Would 233 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: they have one? Would they have one more than nine 234 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: and a half games? I don't know. I mean I'm 235 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: kind of shocked they one not a half games, because 236 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: that was the that was the value of Roethlisberger, was 237 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: the seven seven comebacks that he lad. You know they were. 238 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: He used to say it all the time himself. You know, 239 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: I was you know, those fourth quarter comebacks means meant 240 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: that I was bad the first three quarters of the game, 241 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: but you could, you could, you could somewhat count on 242 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: him when the chips were down to you know, bring 243 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: it back and keep you know, give you a chance 244 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: to win the game at the end. And he did 245 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: that seven times last year. Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's undisputable. 246 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: And to your point with Jimmy, with that timeline, which 247 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: makes an awful lot of sense, is when you added 248 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: Jimmy to the team, it would also be on a 249 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: much better roster. I mean you'd have signed a guard 250 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: and yeah, you have a much better idea of other things. Yeah. Absolutely, 251 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: And I'm sure the Niners will word out of San 252 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: Francisco will be like, we love Jimmy. We won a 253 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: lot of games with him. We might not, we may 254 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: not trade him. We're gonna hold onto him. Don't believe 255 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. That's that's code for what Dale said. 256 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: He's got a bad shoulder. Nobody's gonna give us anything 257 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: until he can actually, you know, show that he is 258 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: working out at a minimum, or has he old, or 259 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: even gets into the preseason and throws a couple of 260 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: life and adventure and it's waiting.

You can 272 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: do that again. He's a veteran quarterback. He'll be available 273 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: at whatever point, as will probably maybe somebody else. You know, 274 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: a team that got a quarterback in the draft and says, okay, 275 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: we we're now on the market to trade this guy 276 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: because we we just drafted, you know, with Atlanta with 277 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. They go on one, you know, they draft 278 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: whoever and and you know, of these quarterbacks and say, okay, 279 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna go with this guy, and Matt Ryan's available. Yeah, 280 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: and I know, Sam Bradford's on an appealing name. But 281 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: the same thing happened to the Eagles this time that year. 282 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: No one knew they were trading up the number two 283 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: to get Wentz. They had just given Bradford a decent buck. 284 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: It looked like he was gonna be their starter. They 285 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: fell in love with Wentz, they went and got him, 286 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: and then Bridgewater gets hurt. They trade Bradford in Minnesota. 287 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: You know, like it's not over. When the draft's over here, folks, 288 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean, and maybe it is only Rudolph after the 289 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: draft ends. I don't think that will be the case, 290 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: but there are more options and it's a long time 291 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: until opening day. Yeah, absolutely. Um, you know I think, uh, 292 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: if you start looking at the combine itself, UM, I 293 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: think there were some affirmations there about some of the 294 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: positions that we had talked about going into this that 295 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: we're you know, we're, well, we think this position is 296 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: pretty deep. We think that position is pretty deep, and 297 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: I think that will affect free agency as well. We 298 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: saw it with the wide receivers last year, uh, you 299 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: know with Juju Smith Schuster, you know, coming back to 300 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: the Steelers, because I think a lot of teams looked 301 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: at it and the top name guys got money, and 302 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: then you looked at it and some of the mid 303 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: level guys didn't get as much as they probably would 304 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: have in previous years at the wide receiver position because 305 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: it was just so deep. Yeah. I think you're going 306 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: to see that this year. Um at linebacker, no doubt. 307 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: Um you could see that. Yeah, ed rushers aren't going 308 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: to be quite as valued as uh, you know, the 309 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: top like von Miller is gonna get paid. Von Miller 310 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: still von Miller, but some of the other guys aren't 311 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: going to get the money that they may may think 312 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: that they were going to get because teams are gonna 313 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: look at this draft, this draft to go. I could 314 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: just go draft one, and you know there's there's fifteen 315 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: of them that I would take, uh, you know, right now, 316 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: and over a lot of them over the free agency 317 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: and they're cheaper, younger and all that stuff too. Yeah, 318 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: So I think that's going to affect free agency when 319 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: it starts next year as well, or next week as well. Yeah. 320 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: I mean again, I think all these teams now are 321 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: going back to the war room in a way and 322 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: reevaluating things. And we thought we knew the strength of 323 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: the draft and we were nine right, but now we 324 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: have a few more questions in this area. And we 325 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: thought we could get away with this on our team. 326 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: But boy, this expositions really deep. Maybe we should pay 327 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: a mid round pick to address that, because boy, there's 328 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: so many guys we like. Um you mentioned linebackers. I 329 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: just can't stop talking about how many good off the 330 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: ball linebackers are are. And you know, you and I 331 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: a might pursuit of do these triple takes I'm gonna 332 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: dig into that probably tomorrow. I have no idea how 333 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: to sort those guys out. There's ten of them, kind 334 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: of like the edge rushers, which I'm in the midst 335 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: of now. I at least pegged that down to five. 336 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: That's top Those are those were the you know, the 337 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: most ridiculous positions to rank, because we're only doing the 338 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: top five for the for the ale take right right, 339 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: It's like I'm gonna do I'm gonna do the top 340 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: five at the at that edge rusher position, and there'll 341 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: be four or five more guys that are gonna be 342 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: first round guys. That's no. Yeah, that's not been the 343 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: case in a lot of these positions. Like George Carl Loft, 344 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: this didn't make my top five edge rushers. Yeah, he's 345 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: really good. It's really good. Like if the chief said, 346 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: I'll take George Carter Loft this at twenty eight or 347 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: or eighty nine or whatever, you'd say, that makes perfect 348 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: sense if somebody took him, if somebody took him at eighteen, 349 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: it would make sense exactly. Yeah, maybe Eagles picks, you know. 350 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: But one thing I think is certain is those guys 351 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: are even though there's a lot of them. The first 352 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: round is gonna be littered with that drushers. I think 353 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: the tackles are gonna go quick as well. You know. 354 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: And our our boy Trevor Penning ran extremely well. I 355 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: think he's a pipe dream at twenty now. I mean, 356 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: so things are shaping up. Yeah, And that's you know, 357 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: the thing that that I explained to people. Um. You know, 358 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: for example, I did a thing on on d K 359 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Sports today about these four players are are in 360 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: play for the Steelers at at twenty and I had George, 361 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: I had Jordan Davis on there, I had Garrett Watson, 362 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: I had it was Jordan Davis, Garrett Wilson. Um any 363 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: of the tackles, Raymond or Penning. I did not go 364 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: tackle because I think I think you feel that those needs. 365 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: You're not gonna pass on Penning if he falls to him. 366 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: But I don't think he falls in. That's the problem, um, Devin. 367 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: And then Derek Stingley's one that's kind of interesting because 368 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: he's not working out. He didn't work out. He's gonna 369 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: Liz Frank injury, and you're starting to see, oh well, 370 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: maybe Derek Stingley starts to drop, you know, he hasn't 371 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: really played a ton of football, uh you know since that, 372 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: since that freshman year, and you start thinking, okay, maybe 373 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: this guy starts he slips to twenty, So maybe some 374 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: of these other corners passed him because of the on 375 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: field workouts and stuff in the interviews. Wow, I hadn't 376 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: thought to him ever. And Steelers, the Steelers met with him. Yeah, wow, 377 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: I mean wow, could that pay off? I mean, I 378 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: don't know how you can pass on him if he 379 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: was there twenty. But as you were saying that, you know, 380 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: I'm sitting there going, well, only nineteen people are gonna 381 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: get picked before the Steelers. So let's say five offensive linemen. Yeah, 382 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: I think got reasonably safe. Let's say I think four 383 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: is a done deal. Yeah, four's a done deal. You 384 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: put the over under it four and a half. Let's 385 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: say let's say five edge rushers. It might be six, 386 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be easily five. I mean that over under 387 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: five and a half's ten right there. Now you're a 388 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: ten players. Let's say let's say at least two of 389 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, at least two receivers, at least two receives. 390 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: Now your four team players without with barely touching any 391 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: of the other you know positions here. Well, that's fourteen 392 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: plus the five you mentioned, and we didn't mention Sauce 393 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: Gardner or Kyle Hamilton's you know, they're gonna be gone. 394 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: So if we're close to being right on what we 395 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: just said, three of the five that you mentioned will 396 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: be on the board, right, which is not a bad 397 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: guys to be picking. Yeah, including linder Bomb and Zion 398 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: Johnson and Green and Wyatt and other people. We didn't 399 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: even mention, you know that, So that does make some sense. 400 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: And as you were talking about Singletary, I originally thought 401 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: he's just out of sight, out of mind. When it's 402 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: all said and done, he'll go top five. Maybe that's true, 403 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: but it's a little different, but it's sort of similar. 404 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: He could kind of be this year's Caleb Farwood, right 405 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: I I compared to the Heath Miller situation. Yeah, okay. 406 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: You know Heath Miller was not able to work out 407 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: before the before the draft. He was heard at the 408 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: combine had the sports herney a surgery, and so you 409 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: were kind of guessing, is he fast enough? You know, 410 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: what's the weather's athletic traits? You know, he's a good 411 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: football player, but there are other guys who are There 412 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: are other guys who are safer picks, and he ends 413 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: up falling and all of a sudden you're sitting there 414 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: at twenty and there there's Derek Staney like you you 415 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: just okay, you walked that right up to the combine 416 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: or the podium right away. Yeah, even if you've locked 417 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: up Peyton and Witherspoon or whatever, you mean, you'd love 418 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: to have a talent like that and which we're just 419 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: really complete. The past defense, um, you know, isn't really 420 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: that much different than when the Titans took Simmons. You 421 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: knew he was damaged good when he take. I mean 422 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: every year there's examples of medicals get in the way. 423 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: And yeah, I think the names you mentioned are good ones. 424 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: I knew we were gonna bring up Jordan Davis. I mean, 425 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: I think we have to talk about him as a 426 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: potential guy in twenty. I still think he could get 427 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: to twenty though. I mean everyone saw I did to 428 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: everybody saying well, he's automatic, he's not gonna last still twenty. 429 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: He's not gonna be saying that about a job ooh 430 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: and everybody else too, you know, like he's not gonna 431 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: be for everybody. You know, there's like three land mines 432 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: which between here and twenty right, So know that that's 433 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: the potential. And does everybody look at him or view 434 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: him as well? They don't. They're not gonna value him 435 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: the same. Uh. You know, do we really need a 436 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: nose tackle because that's what he is. He's not an 437 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: end um. Yeah he could. He could play defensive tackle 438 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: for you. But we talk about this all the time. 439 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: The league is now loaded with talented defensive tackles. M Um, 440 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: they're teams that there there are you know, offensive line 441 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: is a much bigger need there. The teams again looking 442 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: for quarterbacks things of that nature that are gonna have 443 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: bigger needs. Cornerback. Every every team in the league could 444 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: use a cornerback. Yeah. Again, I think if I'm trying 445 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: to improve my defensive front, then we can start thinking 446 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: about teams. I think most people will take the top 447 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: five ish edge rushers over Jordan Davis. Yeah, you know, 448 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: they might take the top eight maybe right right right again, 449 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: great players, right, So I don't know. I mean, somebody, 450 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: if Jordan Davis went ninth and somebody fell in love 451 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,239 Speaker 1: with him, I'd say I understand, right, yeah, I get it. 452 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: Don't don't wash him away like there's no chance he's there. Yeah, 453 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: just because he ran you know, a great a Greade 454 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: forty and look and look, you know, fantastic doing it, 455 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: doesn't you know? Still is what he is, right? He 456 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: just again you affirm at the scouting combine, what people 457 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: know and what we know about Jordan Davis is that 458 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: he averaged twenty four plays a game last year Georgia. Yeah, 459 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: that's what we know. Now you now you have to 460 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: make that jump that leap. Okay, he was a twenty 461 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: four snap per game player at Georgia last year. Not 462 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: because he stinks, but because they had other guys. They 463 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: had whyte Davis they had that was a carter. The 464 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: kid is going to be a junior this year, I 465 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: don't know his name. Is probably gonna be the top 466 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: defensive tackle in next year's draft, right, I mean he's 467 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: a go earlier than Davis or Wyatt the year from now. 468 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: You know, by all accounts, I don't anything about him 469 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: stuff he stud Yeah right, I mean again, I just 470 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: use this analogy. If David's word. Pitt could play more 471 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: snaps game obviously, but stamina an ability to play a 472 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: lot of snaps for any nose tackle is the negative column. Yeah, 473 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: but I do, I do believe that he You know, 474 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: if you if you wanted to get five pass rush 475 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: snaps out of him a game, oh yeah, in your 476 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: in your nickel, you could certainly know it's third and 477 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: four and you say, okay, they may run the ball here, right, 478 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: you can have him on the field in that situation. 479 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: And he's not the Colors, you know, I mean, no, 480 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: he's obviously, of course. I mean they if they did 481 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: one of those one of those uh the the where 482 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: they overlay the guys running the forties with him and 483 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: the Colors, he would be. He would be ten yards 484 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: ahead of mc colors running his For even better, do 485 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: an overlay of Davis mccullors and Williamson and me and 486 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: me and the cap would about me the same for 487 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: all three, you know what I mean? That's how bad 488 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: is right? But I I bring up my color because 489 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: people are like, don't just put a big nose tackle 490 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: in there. It's gonna maybe swater ball down.
