1 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. 3 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: I am Dale Alli, he is Matt Williams and this 4 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: is our three of our final training camp show here 5 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: from St. Vincent College and the Steelers just wrapped up 6 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: practice here at St. Vincent College. The final play of 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: training camp. Let it be known that it was a 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: Chris allonicon class over the middle to j sternberger on 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: like a little skinny post kind of thing there. Completion 10 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: the whistle, the horns sounded, and that was it. The 11 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: team gathered at midfield or close to me about thirty 12 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: and uh now they're all kind of walking off. Some 13 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: guys still getting some work in here. Twist kept working 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: on his long snapping here. Let's see if he's any 15 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: better today, and give him credit for trying to do 16 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: anything he can. That's better. That's better. Yeah, he struggled 17 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: with the punter snapping, but he's Chase Claypool given a shot. 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: He's got the body type that he could do that. Yeah, 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: I guess you could. Withstanding He certainly could run down 20 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: a little false start there on that one. Here we go. 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: He's got a bad stance. Yeah, that wasn't great. Long legs, yeah, 22 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: long legs. No burgundy lips, but not it doesn't really 23 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: bund his knees. Looks like you trying to learn a 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, that's kind of funny. Yeah, absolutely, Mike 25 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: Tomlin addressed, No, he did not. Mike Tomlin addressed the 26 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: media earlier today met giving the rundown of what's going 27 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: to happen this week in Jacksonville. I thought we'd play 28 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: that back here and let everybody here that in case 29 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: they hadn't heard it earlier. Here's what Mike Tomlin had 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: to say, Good afternoon. Um, we're excited about our next 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: opportunity for for a lot of reasons. Um, you know, 32 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: it's reasonable to expect a significant jump between game one 33 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: and Game two. Last week's experience hopefully as a catalyst 34 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: or springboard to better performances individually and collectively this week. 35 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: It's also exciting because we're going in in a road 36 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: game environment and and and some of the lessons learned 37 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: and some of the nuances of the game under those 38 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: variables is good for development. Uh, we're working silent count today, 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: regardless of the climate. We're just paying respect to the 40 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: road game venue and in that process traveling, taking this 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: group on the road, UH, some of the things that 42 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: you kind of take for granted when you're in it. 43 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: But we've got a ninety man group or man group 44 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: right now, and and many of these guys are new 45 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: to us, and so it's an opportunity to teach and 46 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: and to learn. As far as play, UM, we're excited 47 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: about playing these guys because they've been in one more 48 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: stadium than us. UM, they're about roughly a week ahead 49 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: of us in terms of development based on how they 50 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: started the process. And so that's a good challenge for 51 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: a group. UM. I expect our guys to smile in 52 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: the face of that, and and and and rely on 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: fundamentals and and and collective play and communication that kind 54 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: of level that component UM of the game. UM excited 55 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: about getting uh continued exposure to some of our guys. UM. 56 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: We're doing a little bit more game planning, not necessarily 57 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: UM significant game planning, but there are going to be 58 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: more things that are guys are asked to do relative 59 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: to dis opponent and their ability to to take those 60 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: lessons and apply it to play. We're excited about seeing 61 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: some of that UM. In regards to the quarterbacks, we 62 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: we intend to play all three in this game. Mitchell 63 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: start um, Kenny will be next, and then Mason will 64 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: finish it off. All three guys have performed well. I 65 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: really think the main emphasis and the mentality regarding how 66 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: we structured it this week is we simply want to 67 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: see Kenny and more varsity action. We know more about 68 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: Mason UH. Mitch has been around the professional game obviously, 69 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: and so this is a big week for them in 70 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: terms of maybe getting in in the first half of 71 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: this game, and and I would imagine getting an opportunity 72 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: to see UH frontline defenders for Jacksonville. And so I'm 73 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: excited about those guys continuing to work and lead and 74 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: and make plays and take care of football all the 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: things that we value UM, whether it's the formal components 76 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: of the job or the informal components to the job. 77 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: I've really been impressed by the group, and we'll just 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: continue to sort through it day by day. And obviously, 79 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: in stadium performance is a significant component of it, like 80 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: I've mentioned repeatedly, because of the live pocket and Jacksonville 81 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: has a high quality rush UM with top tier rushman 82 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: UH you know, Walker and Allen and others. Uh So 83 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: we're excited about that. UM. In terms of play, we're 84 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: casting a big net UM. All that are healthy to 85 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: this point are scheduled to play UM. That's the mentality 86 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: that you want the group to have, and that's the 87 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: approach we're taken. How much they play UM still to 88 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: be determined. We still got to work. They ahead of 89 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: us in front of us here today and and so 90 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: you're always somewhat cautious in this environment to make hardcore 91 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: plans because things happen a week ago. You know, we 92 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: had some plans for Calvin Austin and Anthony Miller, for example, 93 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: UM in a setting like this when we're leading up 94 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: to a game, and by the time we got to 95 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: the game, they were unavailable. And so we have a 96 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: hardcore plan. Excuse me, but we will remain light on 97 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: our feet. Our mentality is inclusive. We want to see 98 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: work from all parties involved. And obviously, once we get 99 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: in game, based on how things are going, we'll make 100 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: appropriate adjustments and when we roll people in and things 101 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: of that nature. But just excited about it, UM, about 102 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: where we are in the process and and the information 103 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: that we're gonna be able to gather going into a 104 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: new stadium. Paused and open it up for questions. Mitch 105 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: Traviski said that he'd like to play more than two series. Obviously, 106 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: to you, how much do you anticipate him being out there? 107 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: I'll play it value year, just like I did last week. 108 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: If I when I see enough and when I know 109 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: I'm there, I'll know it. And you know, that's just 110 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: the mentality that I and we have, Like what are 111 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: the expectations for the team this season? Man, I'm just 112 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: living for the day. I want to have a good 113 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: practice today. That's where I'm at. Has nae he done 114 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: enough in has comeback and the foot injury that he 115 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: might players again. Right now, I have an inclusive mentality. Um, 116 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: we'll see how the work, the rest of his work 117 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: progresses throughout the week. There's been guys like him that 118 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: are getting on this moving train, um, Chase Claypool and others, 119 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: And right now I have the mentality that I'm gonna 120 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: be inclusive regarding their performance. But we'll see what the 121 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: rest of the week holds. From a preparation standpoint, Mike 122 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: he said yesterday Harris he wanted to get a few 123 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: carries sometimes before the Bengals game. How do you gauge 124 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: what a guy walts versus is I want him to 125 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: get a couple of carries and so I'm in agreement 126 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: with him. So it's nothing to gauge star players exposure 127 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: and each thing. Young players. Yeah, young guys play, young 128 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: guys play. Coach on the Nagy note, Um, you know 129 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: he was doing. He told us yesterday he's doing all 130 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: those laps that he's going after practice and all the 131 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: extra cardio he's getting in. He said that You told 132 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: him that he reminds you of another maybe running back 133 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: or another player from the past. You could not remember 134 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: that player. Do you know what the players referring to? 135 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: Would you mind sharing? Or I would Um, I wouldn't 136 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: mind sharing. I'd like to keep our conversations between us. Really, 137 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: you mentioned you want to see Kenny props against some 138 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: of their varsity players on defense. Does that extend to 139 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: him perhaps playing behind some of your starting offensive lineman 140 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: as well? Yes? Yes, Um, again, you know, we give 141 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: the guys in individually what it is that they need. Um, 142 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: you know we got some young starters in the offensive line. 143 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: Is reasonable to expect those guys that still be in 144 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: the game when he gets in the game. Certainly, do 145 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: you feel about the death behind Nagy? With with the 146 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: way guys like Jalen and Anthony have performed throughout camp 147 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: from the start of camp until now, and what more 148 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: do you hope to you know, I think they're carving 149 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: out nice and niches for themselves and showing capabilities and 150 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: really kind of answering some of those questions. But um, 151 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: I would probably characterize it as incomplete at this juncture. 152 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: Your ability to to put performance on top of performance 153 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: is a big component of ball at this level. And 154 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: whether it's on the practice field and we've seen some 155 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: of that um or in stadium, I just think that 156 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: that's a big component of it. Both guys performed well 157 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: that you mentioned a week ago, and I'm excited about 158 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: seeing them, uh step into a stadium again and and 159 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: and you know, show those talents again. Gunner every wastny. 160 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: But is he carving out a role now in the 161 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: wide receiving he is? And um, I can't say enough 162 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: about the toughness that he displays. I just think that 163 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: that's a distinguishing trait. It doesn't matter what we asked 164 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: him to do. He brings the type of spirit that's 165 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: attractive from a toughness standpoint, and you can't have enough 166 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: tough guys in this game. Mike, how is Kendrick Kareene 167 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: done guard? And how much is ankle injury impacted that competition? 168 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: It has impacted it. Um, both guys are performing well, 169 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: but obviously KG has had more exposure and more work, 170 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: and so it has been a factor. You know, availability 171 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: is a big component um of sorting out some of 172 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: these battles. And that's just the reality um of it. 173 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: In this game. Do you call justipate Kelvin Austin being 174 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: able to get any preseason action, whether the stammer or 175 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: next week. I'm really just a couple of days at 176 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: a time. I know he's not scheduled to play this week. 177 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: We'll see what next week holds. Next week? How do 178 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: you plan to handle the left guard situation in this game? Okage, 179 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: You'll start, like Mason said, he hasn't received as many 180 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: first team reps as he wouldn't like. How do you 181 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: bounces a pastor you go through this front? There are 182 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: no egos, Um, those guys have done a heck of 183 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: a job. Um, I don't have any any negative experience 184 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: from from that perspective, They've been encouraging of one another. 185 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: They've been highly competitive. It's been awesome and obviously you 186 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: want guys that want significant reps. Mike with you guys 187 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: wrapping things up here at St. Fencent, do you feel 188 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: that there were things specifically you guys got from this 189 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: camp setting this year that maybe you didn't get the 190 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: last employ of years. There's no question, Um, how do 191 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: you measure it? I think is the challenge, you know, 192 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: the informal time to get to get togetherness, the construction 193 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: of camaraderie. Um, things that happened in the evening when 194 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: guys are having an opportunity to spend time together, when 195 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: they went their separate ways, um, under the under the 196 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: other circumstance and so UM. We value it, but it's 197 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: not something that we're looking to measure. We just want 198 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: to pour into it because we know it comes back 199 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: to us in the in the form of cooperative work. 200 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: You're a first press conference here this year. You gave 201 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: us some pretty in depth thoughts under the evolution of 202 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: the slot receiver position and how that has changed over 203 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: the years. Have you seen a similar mirroring on the 204 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: defensive side with how defensive backs are deployed in the 205 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: slot position. Do you have that variety of packaging for 206 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: defensive back there no question. Um, you know Arthur Millette 207 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: and called Joseph, we're working a rundown Nickels if you will. Um, 208 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: guys like Cam Sutton, Um and Trey nor Wood are 209 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: passed down sub package players and so there's big time specialization. 210 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: Um their big nickel packages. Killer brew plays in big 211 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: nickels versus uh two tight end personnel groups and so UM, 212 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: it's just specialization. It's a component or an evolution of 213 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: the game. And and and so if something's going on 214 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: on one side of the ball, it's reasonable to expect 215 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: there's a mirrored development on the other side of the 216 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: ball's bush. The three linebackers that to be determined to 217 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: be determined to be determined like the work that those 218 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: guys are given us. How about the competition at left 219 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: corner between whether it's going to Wallace and is anybody separated? 220 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: And how do you think that their performs? You know, 221 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: both guys are performing well. We'll continue to watch it. 222 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: I'm glad that we have them, obviously, regardless of sorts 223 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: out both guys are gonna play significant roles and we'll 224 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: just keep watching it. Like he's seen a drastic jump 225 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: and Kenny Pickett from rookie minicamp to hear, where have 226 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: you seen the most improvement from him? That is so 227 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: reasonable to expect though, you know, you know with each 228 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: passing day, guys get better with exposure, and so I 229 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: don't want to overstate it. Um, the maturation and developmental 230 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: process is happening, probably at the rate that it should 231 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: and and we have, you know, been pleased with the progress. Certainly, 232 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: we tend to ask you about quarterbacks and young guys 233 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: do with guys, but we don't ask you about some 234 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: of the vets the guy like Minka. What has he 235 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: shown you in this that you didn't though? And how 236 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: kind of camp as he's had? You know, Maka is 237 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: a is a serious competitor, and it shows in environments 238 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: like this. Uh. He always wants in Uh. He wants 239 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: to cover receivers, he wants to tackle running backs, he 240 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: wants to blitz um. He's just a he's a football player. 241 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: He's a guy that loves football. He's a guy that 242 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: loves competition and and and boy, he's you know, he 243 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: just really was a good guy to having an environment 244 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: like this because it's never a down day with him. Uh, 245 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: He's always about it and he's always ready to work. 246 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: Menca and Nagier are usually the last two guys on 247 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: the field of the under practice. Is that an Alabama 248 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: guy thing? It's probably because Mancam makes them. You know, 249 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: Maker is kind of big bro. You know, Um he's 250 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: known him since he was eighteen, and so those still 251 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 1: waters run pretty deep coaching the past. When you've had 252 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: four preseason games is so called dress rehearsals maybe the 253 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: third with three? Does it? How does it apply? You know, 254 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if that there's a clear transition. You know, 255 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: you do it in a three game system this way 256 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: relative to a four game system. It's just different. And 257 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: and my mentality is is we need exposure and information 258 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: in terms of decision making. And that's the ultimate guide. 259 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm not you know, sticking to certain templates and things 260 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: of that nature. I just need to see certain things 261 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: from people. And when I see enough, I've seen enough. 262 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: And I think that's just the attitude that we have 263 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: regarding it. And so it might not be a traditional 264 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: dress rehearsal like procedure that happened in the four game system. 265 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: Anyone else? Alright, thanks guys, thank you, uh, thank you 266 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: so much. Absolutely. That was Mike Tomlin earlier today with 267 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: the media. I was over at the cafeteria doing some stuff. 268 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: Chris Hallack he was down there covering it for a 269 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: d K Pittsburgh Sports. So, um, that's why you did 270 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: not hear my voice. Thought maybe you just didn't chime in, 271 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, usually telling him with something. Um. But it's interesting, 272 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: like he kind of mentioned that that this this three 273 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: game preseasons different than years past. You know, it's not 274 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: quite the same dress rehearsal we're used to for a 275 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: week three of the old old system. And I've been 276 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: saying this for a while. I really think that the 277 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: league is trying to figure it out across the whole 278 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: of what's the norm here for the preseason? We know 279 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: what the norm is yet, right, I'm not sure. Yeah, 280 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: there's a consensus at all. And again I think playing 281 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: Seattle and Jacksonville is a lot better than playing the 282 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: Rams or you know, Tampa are teams like that. Yeah, 283 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin may decide after this year that well, you 284 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: know what, let's make the third game, the right to 285 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: warm up you know, half or something, or maybe he 286 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: doesn't play anybody at all. You know, there's there's always 287 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: that opportunity as well. I would just surprised. I'd be 288 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: surprised if that happened, but especially you have a young 289 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: offense like this. Yeah, I mean, I think the preseason 290 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: reps are more valuable than maybe they were when Ben 291 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: was throwing to a B and Bell when those guys, 292 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: those guys didn't need to play at all. Right, how 293 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: much of the defense a ton of attention. It'll be 294 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: interesting to see how long he goes with Ms robisky 295 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: in this game. I talked to ms Robiskie earlier today 296 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: and he said he'd like to be out there, you know, 297 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: a fair amount of not just too serious. He'd like 298 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: to play, you know, a full half if he could. 299 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna be the case. I think 300 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: it often depends on what the drives look like. If 301 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: it's just gonna be done or you know, nice long drive, 302 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: maybe we'll wrap it up. You know, if you have 303 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: two long scoring drives, okay, that's that'll do. Saw you 304 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: pass the test, great, hang it up. But if it's 305 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, you go out there in the first drive, 306 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: you know, you move the ball thirty yards and you punt, 307 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: and then the second one as well, you hit Let's 308 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: say you hit a seventy yard touchdown past somebody falls down. Okay, 309 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna get another series. Probably there's a bunch of 310 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: hold count. Yeah, that doesn't show me. Yeah, so I 311 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: think it's all circumstantial. I don't think he plays a 312 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: whole half, no matter what happened. No, I don't think 313 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: so either, but maybe a full quarter. I do think series. 314 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: I do think some of the front line guys will 315 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: still stay out there with Piket to give him to 316 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: get some things done. I mean, last game, they played 317 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: three of the starting lineman snaps and they played two 318 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: of them sixteen snaps. They got the way around two 319 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: of them. They kept out there. Um, that makes perfect sense. 320 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I like the glue um Haig and Hoss, 321 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: but I probably want two of the starters with those 322 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: guys to get a real look the offensive line. Yeah, 323 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: he wouldn't give him a chance to get some things done. Um, 324 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, move the team a little bit come out 325 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: of this. You want Kenny Pickett to have a good 326 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: experience out there. You don't want him out there looking 327 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: like a deer in headlights or you know, Matt Corral 328 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: like one for nine for eleven yards or something like 329 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't really accomplish much. Yeah. Yeah, so with you 330 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: on that defensively, I don't you know, I wouldn't surprise 331 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: me if we don't see much of the defensive line 332 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: after Cam Hayward, who's appears to be okay, uh, you know, 333 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: got a little banged up in today's practice. I don't 334 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: think you see Cam at all. I wouldn't play water 335 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: Binka either, Yeah, I would probably Manka. You can get 336 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: away with that a little bit more. You said, hey, 337 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: you stay back at center field and just kind of, 338 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, go, you know, let's get the calls right 339 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: and things of that nature.

Great atmosphere. 365 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: Can't wait to come back next year. But it's time 366 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: to go home. It is time to go home, and 367 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: I've got a ton of work to get done tonight. 368 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: So um, we'll see how that continues to develop here. 369 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: But uh, I heard that the Williamson fridge is beeping. 370 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: No one knows why. There's a fire alarm that's beeping that. 371 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: No one knows why, And I guess I have to 372 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: go back to being, uh doing something responsible with my 373 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: life at home.

Here, Matt, and 383 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: let's take a local things that happening around the league 384 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: outside of the Shawn. The situation obvious, It obviously came tonight. 385 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: We do uh Todd Bowles saying today there's no firm 386 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: date on when Tom Brady might return to the Buccaneers. 387 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's interesting. Yeah, like this is I thought 388 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: that was like a week gone. You know, it's not 389 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: like Tom to miss practice. I mean, is this something 390 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: big in his life? And did this factor in his 391 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: quote retirement way back when? Like, was there something this 392 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: week or this time of the year that he knew 393 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: he had to do and football couldn't get in the 394 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: way of. I have no idea, but it's lingering, yeah, 395 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: he said. Uh. Todd Bowl saying today that uh, there's 396 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: no firm date for Brady to rejoin the team and 397 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: that they will revisit the issue after facing Tennessee this weekend. 398 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: So it's not like bizarre, Hey, team, I'm gonna be 399 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: gone eight days. I'll be back on this date and 400 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: we'll get right back at it. It's just I guess 401 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: it's indefinite. Yeah. I don't know if you caught this. 402 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: So that I mentioned there was a high school team 403 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: and I can't figure out what team it is, but 404 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: their quarterback was just throw into one of the one 405 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: of the Steelers, you know, warming up, So it was 406 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Yeah. Uh uh. Robert Solis saying that 407 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: if Zack Wilson is ready, he'll return and he'll play 408 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: in Week one. If he's ready, if he's ready. UM, 409 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: handful of those guys, quite a few around the league 410 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: J K. Dobbins and a lot of these guys that 411 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: are very questionable for Week one. I mean, people just 412 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: think it's a foregone conclusion that whenever you have these surgeries, 413 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: especially you've been injured the year before, which isn't Wilson's case, 414 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: of course, the uh you know you'll be fine for 415 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: the next year, and not always the case. I mean 416 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: a lot of Week one futures in doubt right now. Uh. 417 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones telling reporters that he underwent a non football 418 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: related procedure on his neck over the winner. Uh. This 419 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: came up because well, um, it was not related to 420 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: the neck injury that that he was out with last year. 421 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: I guess he missed some games with He had a 422 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: six inch scar on his upper chest indicating he had 423 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: undergone surgery. Doesn't sound minor. No, that does not sound 424 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: minor at all. In the upper chest is uh, two 425 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: neck things in the same kind of that area where 426 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: maybe you had some Hodgkins or something. I don't want 427 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: to speculate that happens, but that's an odd spot to 428 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: do a procedure. Or you know, it sounds like neck 429 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: is very vague in this term. Reports haven't been great 430 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: about him playing well either. No, he was six or 431 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: twenty in their first game. Maybe that's a Jimmy Landing 432 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: spot that could be at least Yeah, compete this year 433 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: and maybe be your guy next year and you know, 434 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: at least give you some kind of fallback option. Yeah. Um. 435 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: The Packers young and wide receivers asked Aaron Rodgers to 436 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: meet with them after his rent rip a little right, 437 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: dropping passes and things. Uh, that's just not weird weird 438 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: relationship there, right, yeah, kind of the You know, I 439 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: don't think Rodgers is easy to deal with it all. 440 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: I don't think he has either, said they. A day 441 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: after Rogers expressed his frustration with the wide receiver group, 442 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: they were instructed to report to the quarterback meeting room 443 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: at five on Wednesday. When they arrived, they found all 444 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: three quarter backs plus the key members of the offensive 445 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: coaching staff who worked directly on the passing game in 446 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: the room. Okay, I mean I don't know. That sounds 447 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: odd to me. I mean, why doesn't Aaron have him 448 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: over their house and have a barbecue or something or 449 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: go gonna be here or something. I mean, and it's 450 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: like come to my office. Like he's almost like he's 451 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: the principal. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, he deserves 452 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: all the car blanche in the world. I mean, he's 453 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: a phenomenal player and he makes those guys around them better. 454 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: But this just kind of goes back to theory I 455 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: have before. And I'm not saying I wouldn't have traded Adams, 456 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: but counting on two rookie receivers to be impact guys 457 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: with a guy like Brady or Rogers or Bean, I mean, 458 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: like when they're setting their ways, that's hard, man, I 459 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: mean a certain way. Yeah, and it's hard enough for 460 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: a rookie receiver let alone. I gotta do with the 461 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: Rodgers way or get reprimanded for it, you know. Apparently 462 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: Rogers did not call the meeting, but he spoke extensively 463 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: during it, according to several participants. Okay, I mean, is 464 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: it all based on too many drop balls? Apparently? Um, 465 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: they said this coming from Romeo Dialbs. Aaron spoke to 466 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: us about what he likes or what not, just likes 467 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: or not, uh, just based on concepts and what he sees. Okay, Okay, 468 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess why would you have this. That's 469 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: that's a conversation. Yeah, that's like, okay, first thing that 470 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: you do when your first team meeting, like the first 471 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: offensive meeting. Okay, guys, here's what I want, Like not 472 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: trying to see the world through Rogers. Three weeks into 473 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: training camps a little. The whole thing seems weird to 474 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: make like the Brady things weirder. But these these oldest 475 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: central quarterbacks doing their own things right now. Yeah, I 476 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: don't you know that's um Rogers had Uh he called that. 477 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: He said that we had a lot of drops, a 478 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: lot of bad route decisions, running the wrong route. That's 479 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: gonna happen with young guys and so yeah, the expectations 480 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: that your gameplay go win the NFC. Yeah, I don't 481 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: know if you saw this one. Some sad news here. 482 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: Florida international player Luke Knox has died at twenty two. 483 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: He's the brother of Buffalo Bills tighten Dawson Knox. Yeah, 484 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: that's just unfortunate. All that's terrible and there'll be a 485 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: distraction for the Bills and of course we Knox too. Yeah, 486 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: that's just awful. Two years old. Yeah, I mean that's tough, horrible. 487 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: He had transferred to UH Florida Internationally as a senior 488 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: A grad students UH to Florida International from Old Miss, 489 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: which is where Dawson went. Okay, Um, yeah, I just 490 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: saw the clip. I didn't realize all the details of it, 491 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: but that's thanks. Yeah, tough one to to go through 492 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: twenty two years old. Can't imagine. Um. And of course, 493 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: you know we're talking about the Steelers that we just 494 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: heard from Mike Tomlin that Kenny Pickett's going to see 495 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: more time this week. I don't know if we're gonna 496 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: see that from any of the other rookie quarterbacks around 497 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: the league. I think Carolina plays tonight or tomorrow. Corral's 498 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: first performance was so bad, I think you'd be anxious 499 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: to get him back out there. Maybe Ritter got good reviews. Yeah, 500 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: but he's still gonna play with the twos. I would 501 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: think I would assume he's with the twos. Willis started 502 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: last week. I mean, I guess I'll play probably as much, 503 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: maybe a little less. Tannehill is gonna get the start, 504 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: and how I actually came in and did okay too, 505 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: So I would I would imagine pick it out snaps 506 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: all those guys though, going forward, Yeah, you would think, 507 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: and I think the plan for Kenny Pickett, uh, and 508 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: it's been this all along, is that he takes the 509 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: two the two reps this week, and then next week, 510 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: I gotta expect he starts. Yeah, I think that plays 511 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: a healthy portion of that game, and and we'll see 512 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: if Rudolph plays or you know, they've they've given Christal 513 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: lot of con some snaps here anyways the last couple 514 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: of days. I wonder if he gets to the game 515 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: next week. But there's there's been scout team snaps. Yeah, yeah, 516 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: they have. That's tough. It's tough to throw the kid 517 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: out there and just say, okay, bring us on home. 518 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: You've done no snaps with our offense. Yeah, you know. 519 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: I mean, that's awful difficult. And again, more I think about, 520 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: I bet he doesn't play at all the probably not, 521 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: probably not, so it would be great to see him. 522 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: The decision then becomes, does I guess you could also 523 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: give Mason Rudolph the start next week, play him a 524 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: quarter and then let's pick it, Penny, let's pick it 525 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: finished the game. Yeah, I guess we'll talk about that 526 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, We're coming at you all five 527 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: days next week on the drive I think or the three. 528 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: I can't remember it's five because what days the game 529 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: next week? Because Sunday isn't not I think it's Sunday. 530 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: It's an earlier start. I haven't looked at I'm just 531 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: trying to survive training can trying at home and get 532 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: back at the swing of things, to get back into 533 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: a regular routine. But I'm sure that someone will talk 534 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: about a ton next week too, is how they handled 535 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: next We should be back all five days next week. Yeah, good, Okay, 536 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: So bringing it to you every day as we have 537 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: throughout this training camp, It'll just be a little bit different. 538 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: We won't be able to report what we're seeing on 539 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: the practice. The shows won't be as long. We'll be 540 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: back to an hour and a half and you know, 541 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: but there'll be a lot more two hours. Okay, yeah, 542 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: yep for that. I'm ready to roll, dude, after doing 543 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: all these three hour shows, you know, hey'll be like 544 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: walking apart. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna have matt withdrawals 545 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: here over the weekend. Like, yeah, you're mentioned last night, like, hey, 546 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: maybe we should get our wives go to dinner like, 547 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: that's not swell. But I've seen a lot of you man, 548 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, I got other friends, our wives. Our wives 549 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: are friendly with each other now and that's the text 550 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: back and forth. Not as much as we do. But yeah, yeah, yeah, 551 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: So we'll do something like that in the near future. 552 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: But did me twenty four hours or that at least? Well, 553 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: I'll be on a plane tomorrow, I'll be I'll be 554 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: landing in Jacksonville. So it's gonna be a busy twenty 555 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: four hours for me. I got about five stories to 556 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,719 Speaker 1: write and a couple of podcasts to tape, and all 557 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: kinds of good stuff to do before I head off 558 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville tomorrow. But my evening looks like the finale 559 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: of Better carll Saul and a lot of pregame or 560 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: preseason games. I'd like to have that on. Well, I'm writing, 561 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: but then I don't I have to miss some stuff. Yeah, 562 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: some shows you can do that, shows that are at 563 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: the top of the list if i've if I've seen 564 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: a show like, I'll throw in a movie i've seen before. 565 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for background noise and just kind of you know, 566 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: something like you know, I'll put on an episode of 567 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: like bar Rescue or you know, something like to put 568 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: reruns on a Seinfeld or Big or something like that too. Yeah, 569 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: you kind of watch out the corner, Malle. I can't 570 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: just sitting in to watch that. Yeah, maybe watch a 571 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: second time, yeah, um yeah, but I do have to 572 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: when I'm writing, I do prefer to have some kind 573 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: of backgrounds on. One of my preferences lately is is 574 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: throwing on one of the Shark Week things. You know, 575 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: I kind of know what's going on, but you know, 576 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: you still still see cool sharks eating stuff, you know, 577 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,479 Speaker 1: cool sharks jumping up. Yeah, yeah, doing their thing. Kind 578 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: of like watching TJ What play football right, very similar, 579 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: Mako gobbling up quarterbacks. He is Matt Williams and I 580 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: am Dale Lali. We're live from Steelers training camp here 581 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: at the same Pencil College. Still a couple of fans 582 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: do still Yeah, nobody wants to leave, No, I mean, 583 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: I hey, I get it. The players, however, seem to 584 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: want to go. Now that the field is largely cleared here, 585 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: it's just one guy still out there. Is that Claypool 586 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: out there working? I think so? Yeah, they're playing a 587 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: there was five of them playing a some kind of 588 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: game where you'd throw the football at each other, you 589 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: have the clap first before you caught it, and they 590 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: were all getting eliminated and Claypool was getting into it. 591 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: Kind of like flip in baseball. If you do that, 592 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: you kind of tossed the ball back and yeah, baseball 593 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: before games or whatever. Now he's doing the drill there 594 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: where you throw footballs at him from different different angles 595 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: and if adjust to it and find it. Yeah, two 596 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: guys throwing the football at him from one behind him, 597 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: one in front. Not to be a critical, but there's 598 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: fewer players on the field half hour after practice today 599 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: than there ever has been. Yeah, they want to get 600 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: they want to get back home and get showered and 601 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: get back to reality a little bit, back to reality. 602 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's nice to you know that the players 603 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: are able to have their families come out here if 604 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: they you know, have that you know possibility. But yeah, 605 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of families here, always always a case here. 606 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: But it's still not the same as you're still not 607 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: going home at night, you know you're going back, so 608 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: very different. Yeah, if you see cars speeding by you 609 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: on Route thirty here, some of the nice looking vehicles, Yeah, 610 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: that might be them well, and that in twist is 611 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: uh um geo tracking, geo track, geo tracker, that's Derek 612 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: twisting and it stands out to it's not a normal 613 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: looking vehicle, right. But yeah, so Training Camp two is 614 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: in the books. It was. It was highly successful overall. 615 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, stayed pretty healthy. There's a 616 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: couple of guys you lost, but that happens every year. 617 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: Miller is the one that sticks out to me. It 618 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: would have been nice to see him, you know, through 619 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: the year. But I think they've gotten better. You know that. 620 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: We we started the show talking about position groups. Who 621 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: do you feel better about? Who do you feel worse about? 622 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: Pretty much everyone was better or the same. Yeah, I mean, 623 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: so that's what you want. Of course, it couldn't gone 624 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: the other way, and that's I don't think that's us 625 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,479 Speaker 1: looking through black and gold colored glasses or you know, 626 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: sugarcoat and things. I think they got better. Yeah, I 627 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: think they did as well, um, which is why they 628 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: do these things. That's why they do it. Players don't 629 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: necessarily like it, but they do understand it is necessary. Yeah, 630 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: it makes you a better player, that's the whole idea. 631 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna take another break here before we come back 632 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: and wrap up the show. He is Matt Williamson. I 633 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: am Dale Lally. You're listening to the Drive here on 634 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio and ESPN nine seventy. We'll be back 635 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: right after this. He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and 636 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: Matt Williamson on your home of the Black and Gold, 637 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. We are back. I'm Dale Lally here 638 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: with Matt Williamson. We're gonna bring it on home here 639 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 1: on ESPN nine seventy and Steelers Nation Radio. Good to go, 640 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: do uh, Matt, we don't. This will be our final 641 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: show of the week here. So instead of doing a 642 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 1: fantasy football Friday, let's do a fantasy football Thursday. Here. 643 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: Let's run through. Eric Caraball has written up some He 644 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: has his quarterback. Here's wide receiver tiers. Running back here. sEH, 645 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: we can get through here. Yeah. Uh so his top tier, 646 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: if it's the quarterback position, Tier one is Josh Allen. 647 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: He has a round three grade on Josh Allen. It's 648 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: earlier that I would go. I mean, man, I like 649 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: him and all that, but boy, if I only have 650 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: two guys on my roster, I can't yet that's tough. 651 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: Round Tier two in the rounds four and five, or 652 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, they're not my Tier twos, 653 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: but I mean, I I understand it. I mean there's 654 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: a cluster there to me. Tier three, this is round 655 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: six and seven. Lamar Jackson, Kyler, Murray, Jalen Hurts, the runners, 656 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: I think they would be my two, three and four. 657 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: Probably Kyler would be two. Yeah. Uh. Tier four's rounds 658 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: eight and nine. You got Tom Brady, Russell, Wilson, Trede, Lance, 659 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Deak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Brady and 660 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: and Burrow haven't done anything. Yeah, Brady still not in 661 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: camp here. Tier five rounds eleven and twelve, Derek car 662 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence to a Techy of Valoa, Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins, 663 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: Fields and Lawrence should be my targets of that group too, 664 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: would not no. Tiers six rounds fourteen and fifteen. Jameis Winston, 665 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: met Ryan Zack, Wilson, Ryan Tannehill. Yeah, I don't think 666 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: you want to be shopping in that neighbor. Winston, I 667 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 1: guess would be my favorite. Tiers seven is undrafted. Guys 668 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: Max Jones, Drabinsky and that didn't that level. Yeah, I 669 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: mean he's gonna he's gonna run, getta run. Uh. Tier 670 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: seven is undrafted guys Mac Jones, Daniel Jones, Carson Wentz, 671 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield, Davis Mills, Drew Lock slash Geno Smith, 672 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota slash Desmond Ritter, Kenny pick it slash m R. 673 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: Bisky's get that backwards, as if most of these national 674 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: guys do. Jacoby Brissette slash DeShawn Watson. What do you 675 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: do with the Shawn Watson in fantasy? You pick it up? 676 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: I think you picked him up like eight. Yeah. Yeah, 677 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: you know if you drafted him, you're probably gonna end 678 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: up cutting him at some point because you're gonna need 679 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: you roster spot. Yeah. Don't don't make stater back. I 680 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: mean if he was justin Jefferson Jonathan Taylor, you know, right, 681 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: but for a quarterback, that's the top ten type of guy. No, 682 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: even it's Josh Allen, I wouldn't draft him running back. 683 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: Tier one, the first overall pick, Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, it's 684 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: good sensus. Yeah. Tier two, these are Round one guys 685 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler, H Derrick, Henry, Dalvin Cook, Naji Harris, Christian McCaffrey, 686 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: anybody else that you would throw into that group. Yeah, 687 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: I mean I think I consider mixing Jones, Barkley, might 688 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: even Swift. He has some of those guys in his 689 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: Tier three, right two guys. I'm gonna bump those guys up, though. 690 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 1: I mean, the running backs are tough, tough, I don't 691 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: want to be going. I mean, yeah, maybe maybe I 692 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: would take a receiver in round one, but all ties 693 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: are gonna go to running back his Tier three guys 694 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: in round two, or Joe mix and Alvin Kamar, Javante Williams, 695 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift. Okay, you think Kamara is around one guy? Uh? 696 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: The suspension stuff is kind of past. Yeah, I think 697 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 1: that was my concern. I think the league would announced 698 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: that already if you did do it. Uh, Tier four, 699 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: these are rounds three and four guys. I don't see 700 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: these guys lasting that long. Nick Chubb, Aaron Jones, James Conner, 701 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: Cam Akers, Leonard Fournette, David Montgomery, Travis A t n, 702 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, and Travis at Nah. Did he mention Barkley 703 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: in the last one, he's not. He's gonna get a 704 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 1: ton of touches. I know, did everyone's snake bit with 705 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: his injury and the Giants stink blah blah blah, but 706 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 1: he's still Sa Kwon Barkley's gonna get to touches. He's 707 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: got him in Tier five. That's rounds four and five 708 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: with just Ezekiel Elliott and Sae Kwon Barkley in that tier, 709 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: Barkley running backs are gonna go way before these rests, 710 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: right right. But Barkley versus Elliott isn't even close to me. 711 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: Tier six, rounds five and six, Briest Hall, Antonio Gibson, 712 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell, Josh Jacobs, j K. Dobbins. I'm warm warming 713 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: up to Breece Hall, like I think I'm taking Hall 714 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: over Elliott. Yeah, yeah, I think he stands out in 715 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: that group for sure, although I think Carter is a 716 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: pretty good player. But you didn't. You don't move up 717 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: to go get a running that early, right, making him all. 718 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: Tier seven is round seven and eight. Clyde Edwards, Hilaire, 719 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, Kareem Hunt, Miles Sanders. I think Sanders get 720 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: a little bit the short end of the stick. I mean, 721 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: he didn't score last year. That's not gonna keep up. 722 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: And he still catches the ball. And that's the really 723 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,720 Speaker 1: good old line, good running team he's contract year. Tier 724 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 1: eight is rounds eight and nine. Damian Harris, Damian Pierce, 725 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, Melvin Gordon, A J. Dillon, Chase Edmonds. There's 726 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: a couple of those guys, Wound, Pierre stands out. Pierced 727 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: to me as the starter. Now, I mean they've they've 728 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: almost made that certain. The problem is as a starter 729 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: on a bad team, right right, right, And he probably 730 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: won't be a factor in the fourth quarter very often, 731 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 1: but he's a good player. Uh. Tier nine is rounds 732 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: nine and ten. James Robinson, Ramandra Stevenson, Stevenson, then Harris, 733 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: Yeah with too, Kenneth Walker, Corderyll Patterson, Michael Carter, Cordarrell Pattersons. 734 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: The guy is gonna get overdrafted off of what he 735 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: did last year. Yeah, that's pretty late for him, though. 736 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: I think he'll be gone way before that. In most 737 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: are most of your drafts. Tier ten is rounds eleven 738 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: and twelve. James Cook, Jamal Williams, him Hines, Jade mckiss 739 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: it and Raheem Mostart. I'll take cooking that neighborhood. Yeah, 740 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 1: if you miss, if you miss on him, who cares? 741 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: But he could hit big. I don't mind taking Flyer 742 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 1: on Hinz that late either, especially in a PP obviously. Yeah, 743 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk that he catch the time. 744 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: I mean I would expect him to catch fifty passes 745 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: this year. That makes him worth a twelfth rounds draft pick. 746 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. Around Tier eleven is round twelve and thirteen. 747 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: Isaiah Spiller, shod White, Tyler Algier. Yet you know they 748 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 1: get a crack at. It hasn't been great news on Spiller, 749 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: but I still think he'll be the two Tier twelve 750 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: rounds thirteen and fourteen. Kenneth Gainwell, Ronald Jones, No thanks, 751 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: Marlin mal Jones might not make the team, yeah, Kenyan Drake, 752 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: Alexander Madison, Darrell Henderson. I'm a Gainwell fan. Yeah. I 753 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: think he's a real sneaky guy. That will be a 754 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: right that might even compete with Sanders for touches. Uh. 755 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: Tier thirteen is round fourteen and fifteen. Damian Williams, Gus Edwards, 756 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 1: mark Ingram Khalil Herbert, Brian Robinson, Herbert and Robinson. There's 757 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 1: other guys are shot. Yeah, they stand out. Herbert's good player. 758 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: Tier fourteen is round fifteen or undrafted. That would be 759 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: Tuba Hubbard and Dante Foreman from both from the Carolina Panthers. Yeah, 760 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,760 Speaker 1: you're in bad shape. Your shopping on that neighbor tire fifteen, 761 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: Round fifteen or undrafted to Rex Burkehead, Mike Davis, Hassan Haskins, 762 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,280 Speaker 1: some Mere White, Sony, Michelle Boston, Scott Mike Mike Davis 763 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: be the opening week starter that could be. I mean 764 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be Edwards and j K still be 765 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: a long term fix, but right right if you start 766 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: him as a flex week one and go from there. Yeah, 767 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: moving on the wide receivers here real quickly. Tier one 768 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. These are first rounders, top of the round 769 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: one overall Cooper Cup. Justin Jefferson, Jamaar Chase. Okay, I 770 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 1: think Chase is clearly three though Tier two is round two. 771 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: He didn't have enough guys to go in round one, 772 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: so that's uh. Tier two is uh Stefon dig Ceedee Lamb, Deebo, 773 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: Samuel Davante, Adams, Tyreek Hill. I'm glad he has Adams 774 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: and Hill at the bottom of the tier. I do 775 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: as well. Deebo scares me a little bit, little bit 776 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: that I'm paying a overall price for that. They're gonna 777 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: throw the ball ton right. Uh. Tier three is around 778 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: three Tie Higgins, Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, d J. Moore. 779 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: I like Moore and Higgins in that group. The older 780 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: guys started to worry being a little bit. Tier four 781 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: rounds three and four A. J. Brown, Michael Pittman, Terry McLaurin, 782 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,799 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, Jalen Waddle, Mike Williams, Deante Johnson, and Elijah Moore. 783 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna shop in that neighborhood, yeah, I mean, especially 784 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 1: the prices you can get them there. I like that neighborhood. 785 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 1: Tier five and could be not a league winner, but 786 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: it could be a real value. Tier five is rounds 787 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: five and six. That's a mon Ross st Brown, Brandon Cooks, 788 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy, Gabriel Davis, Darnell Mooney, Marquise Brown, 789 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: Chris Godwin. Cooks is perennially underrated. Yeah, I mean, he's 790 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: almost a borderline running back wide receiver one every year 791 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: and his numbers with Mills were really good. Tiers six 792 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: is round seven and eight, Amrii Cooper, Adam Feeling, Christian Kirk, Hunter, Renfrew, 793 00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: Davante Smith, Juju Smith, Schuster, Allen Robinson, Marie Cooper properly ranked. 794 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: Now he probably put this out before the Watson News'll 795 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: take me a lot to draft the Mary Cooper like. 796 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: I'd rather have Kirk, I'd rather have Yeah, I don't 797 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: you know Marie Cooper catch fifty passes this year. I'm 798 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: gonna say yes, But are they gonna be high quality passes? 799 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: They can be see a wider SEVERER three and fans. 800 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: Let's let's get the ri Tier seven here and see 801 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: who would you take? Cooper verse these guys, Rashad Bateman. 802 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: This is rounds nine and ten. I don't think Tyler 803 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: Lockett's that's a situation. Chase Claypool, Cooper, Alan Lazard, now, 804 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: Robert Woods, I don't know if he's gonna play. Yeah. Uh, 805 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: Tier eight is round ten. Michael Thomas, deanre Hopkins. Michael 806 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: Thomas supposed to be there in week one. Yeah, I 807 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,479 Speaker 1: think he's three tiers too low. If I think Todd, 808 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: Godwin and Thomas are hard ones to rank at the moment, 809 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: but they could be there and we want to be great. 810 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: Tier nine is rounds ten and eleven. Drake London, trailn 811 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: Burke's Chris Lave, Garrett Wilson London stands out. UH. Tier 812 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: ten is rounds eleven and twelve, Brandon Ayouk, Russell, Gage Marquez, Valdes, Scantling, McCole, Hardman, 813 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: Darius Tony, Jacoby Myers, Tyler Boyd, Robbie Anderson, Kenny Golladay, 814 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, Ayuke and Tony are way higher on my list. 815 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: They would be three tiers above that. I would have 816 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: Valdes Scantling a little higher than that too. If the 817 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: Hardman news is bad too, that certainly helps him. He 818 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: would definitely be the deep threat. I think it's no 819 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,800 Speaker 1: matter what, it's gonna be valid as Scanty and Juju 820 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: as the top two. UH. Tier eleven is round thirteen undrafted. UH. 821 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,800 Speaker 1: There here you have sky More, Johan Dotson, Jarvis Landry, 822 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: Nico Collins, Van Jefferson, Josh Palmer, Jalen Tilbert, Ron Delmore, 823 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: d J Chark, Cedric Wilson, DeVante Parker, Michael Gallup, Christian Watson, 824 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: Jamison Williams, Alec Pierce and Odell Beckham. George Pickens. Yeah, 825 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: he should be. He should be on there somewhere. Um 826 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: that last a couple of those guys in that last 827 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: batch will hit. Yeah, Nico Collins will be on a 828 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: couple of my teams, just because I know he's gonna 829 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: be out there starting and you know, I don't think 830 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: that that offense is awful. Still got a couple of 831 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 1: minutes left here, we'll get through the tight ends. Round 832 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 1: one or Tier one of the round two guys, that's 833 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and Mark Andrews. I'm not paying the Kelsey price. No, 834 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm not either rich one, but I really would like 835 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: to have one of those top five. Tier two is 836 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: round four, that's Kyle Pitts all by himself. Tier three 837 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: is rounds five and six, that is George Kittle, Darren Waller. Yeah, 838 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,399 Speaker 1: I think there's a real line of demarcation after those 839 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: five though. Tier four is rounds eight to ten, Dallas Goddard, T. J. Hawkinson, 840 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,479 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. I would have Schultz not in that list. 841 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 1: I think Goddard and Hawk are about the same, can 842 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 1: you volume? Though, somebody's gonna catch the ball in Dallas. 843 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,280 Speaker 1: I know. I mean, I'm I'm on an island. Anti Schultz. 844 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: I like him. I know, man, he gets a lot 845 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 1: of targets. I don't thing he's very talented. Uh Tier five, 846 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: Rounds ten to twelve, Zach Ertz, Pat Friarmouth, Mike Gisicki, 847 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: Kaseki scares me like the other too, though. Neighborhood. Yeah 848 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 1: here six is rounds thirteen through undrafted. That's Dawson, Knox, 849 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:12,399 Speaker 1: Irv Smith, Hunter, Henry Cole, Commit, Noah Fant, Albert Oh 850 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,879 Speaker 1: David and Joku and Tyler Higbee. Because in Joko even 851 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: draftable now and that hurts him bad. Yeah, it hurts 852 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: him bad. He was a real sleeper, but he was 853 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 1: kind of a target for me as a high end 854 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: tight end too. Now I just don't want to do 855 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: with their passing game. Comment to me is really interesting. 856 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,760 Speaker 1: He is, yeah, because they're going to throw the ball somewhere. 857 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,320 Speaker 1: He's an only one zero touchdowns last year. They'll have 858 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: seven this year. Right, I agree? I agree? Um, you know, 859 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,800 Speaker 1: I I don't know that I want to spend the 860 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: draft capital. It's gonna take me to get one of 861 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: those top three or four guys scares me a little bit. 862 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 1: I wish I had more mocks under my belt to 863 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: know if that's the move or not. You know, actually 864 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,359 Speaker 1: both Kiddle end Wallers scared me a little bit. They 865 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: should be four and five. Yeah, I mean, I like 866 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: how he puts them on their own tier. A lot 867 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: of people put just the five of them together. You know, 868 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: I think they're the scariest for sure. Yeah, I don't 869 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: know what that. I have no idea what the forty 870 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: Niner passing game is gonna look like. I think you 871 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 1: fear it more than I do. I do, I do, 872 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: But I'm also really high on aouk, which I think. 873 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 1: Not all three of them are gonna eat. That's the problem. 874 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Like, and there's there's too many miles 875 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: to feed out there. And you know that their forty 876 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: Niners are gonna run the football and Debo and Kid 877 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: are expensive. Yeah, you know you're gonna pay a premium price, 878 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: and one of them is probably not gonna hit, not 879 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 1: what you not for, not for what you paid for them. Anyways, 880 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: there's no chance all three can hit. Yeah, you know, 881 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: the offense might be really good, but that's not what 882 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: we're doing here. Right, fancy. You know this is always 883 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,919 Speaker 1: uh the problem when you're taking guys like that, and yeah, 884 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: it looks great on paper. I love Debo, but I 885 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: think we'll look at last year as his career year. 886 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 1: It very well. Maybe it wouldn't blow me away. If 887 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 1: I you got scores them, I'm like saying that's gonna happen. 888 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: But for where they're going, I'm much rather buy an 889 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: a Matt that is going to do it. We're gonna 890 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 1: put a bow on this camp here, that is going 891 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: to do it for Training Camp two and our show here. 892 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: We appreciate everybody who's listening.
