1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: He's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: your home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I am Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson.

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: This is a drive on Steelers Nation Radio. And well,

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: low and behold. The Steelers have made their five roster

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: moves in advance of the deadline today. That released were

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Jernard Avery, who we just talked about the segment. Yeah,

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: he's get a lot of time. We like him. We

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: missed a lot of time in terms of, uh, you know,

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: some of the offseason stuff and then some training camp

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: stuff that is a surprise cut. Yeah. Obviously wide receiver

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Christian Blake, running back Mateo Durant, who a lot of

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: people were high on going into camp that didn't work

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: out for him. Quarterback Chris a lot of con and

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: place kicker Nick Skiba. Skiba not really that big of

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: a surprise there them. I would say, I would guess

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: that maybe they try to sneak at least one or

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: two of those guys back on the practice squad. A

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: lot of cons. The one that stands out for sure,

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: I can't see anyone picking them up. I can see

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: him trying to get Avery back on their practice squad too,

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: but giving him a chance, like, hey, you're doing him

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: a favor. Yeah, maybe you can hook on somewhere else.

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: We'll bring it back on the squad. That one took

25
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: me by surprise. Um. My first thought, and I don't

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: mean to get people's hopes up this might be totally

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: off base, is maybe they have another trade in mind

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: or some addition from outside the team at that position

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: that they want a spot for. I don't know. I

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: mean my hunches, he didn't stand out on special teams.

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: He was always a little bit of an odd fit

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: for this defense. I mean, I like them as a

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: positive and that it was versatility, but he's not their

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: typical outside linebacker edge guy. You know. Yeah, well, I

35
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: know they had some injuries yesterday, uh, you know, with

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: with Bush not practicing, alex Heighsmith still out, uh and

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: opposite T. J. Watt yesterday, Uh was hamilcar Rashid Uh

38
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: picked up last last week from the Jets, and I

39
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: thought he did some good things in the game. Look,

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: let's look good in practice. They must like what they

41
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: see there. But that's the cuts made there. As I mentioned,

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into a Pete Priscoe's Top one hundred list,

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: and this is a This is a good list because

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: I like what Pete does here, because if you didn't

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: play much last year, you ain't making his list the

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: top one players. So for example, uh, trying to think

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: of who of the top Denzel Ward missed time last year.

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: He's not on the list. He's in the honorable mention.

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey in the honorable mention because he didn't play

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: last year, and still make the argument he's the best

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: running back on the planet. You could make that some

52
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: of these. Patrick Certain not on the list yet because

53
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: it's just one year for him, Mark, Marlon Humphrey, Triudavious

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: White not on the list. Is show Matthew Judean, who

55
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: we talked about, he was fifty second on the Layers list,

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: didn't make the list, which it didn't make any sense

57
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: to begin with. Uh. Some other guys on their Uh,

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Devin White is an extensive just missed list. Yeah, Um,

59
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: Tyrann math All not on there. Marshawn Lattimore not on there. Um,

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad White's not on there. He's more flash than substance. Yeah, absolutely, Uh,

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: just looking here Naji Harris made his list of guys

62
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: who just missed it. I can see like him and

63
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: certain being year Yeah, next year's guys. Anyways, let's get

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: into his list. The top one hundreds. Here at number

65
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: one hundred is Marcus Williams, the safety from the Ravens. Okay,

66
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: big heavy safeties here in the nineties. Harrison Smith at nine,

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: DJ more make it. Fitzpatrick makes his list at ninety seven.

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: Make It didn't make the the NFL dot Com Top

69
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: on which is a little shock. I think this is

70
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: a little low, but I'm not going to fight him

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: too much. I mean being on this list in general

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: against you're talking about the top two percent of the league.

73
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: Joe Thuney at ninety six, Jesse Jesse bates it and

74
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: five they reported back today. By the way, A J.

75
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: Brown at Bobby Wagner at ninety three. It might be

76
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: his last year on it, Yeah, Kenny Clark at two.

77
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: The mario' Davis at ninety one might be his last

78
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: year on um moving into the nineties or nineties. Lane

79
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: Johnson sure maybe the best right tackle. Yeah eighty nine.

80
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, Yeah, solid eighty eight. Kyler Murray. This is

81
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: the other thing that Pete does with his list that

82
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: other don't. It's not heavy on the quarterbacks because you

83
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: see a lot of these other lists. You got the

84
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: top one hundred and seventeen of them are quarterbacks, Mac

85
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: Jones and Cousins. Yeah, they can't all be up there.

86
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: I think you have to give them a little bit

87
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: more weight if I were to do one. But really

88
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: the top I mean, thirties should be on there if

89
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: you're talking about importance. Yeah, but that's not that's not

90
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: the exercise yet. I'm glad Kyler I think would be

91
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: borderline though, because I really think there's eleven top quarterbacks

92
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: and then Carr and Kyler or twelve and car Car

93
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: didn't make his list. Eighty seven Lavonte David So he's

94
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: Lavonte David on they're not Devin White, eighty six, Corey

95
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: Linsley sure. Eight five, Darius Slay Yeah, eight four Trayvon

96
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: Digs I yeah, I bet I put some more corners

97
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: over him. I mean, that's remarkable ball production, but I

98
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: don't think it's sustainable. Now at eighty three, has DeShawn Watson.

99
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: I mentioned that he doesn't put players on there if

100
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: they didn't play, but he still feels DeShawn Watson could

101
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: be on my list. Yeah, he's a better football player

102
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: than Kyler, and I have no problem with Kyler being

103
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: on there. Eighty two Cole Pits, Oh nice. I mean,

104
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: I think he'll be top fifty, but it's interesting to

105
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: put him on already. Eighty one to Forrest Buckner. Yeah,

106
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: I might even have him higher, which is easy to say.

107
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: I haven't heard together. Seventies something, eighties Eric Armstead Buckner Armstead,

108
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean, but Armstead had a really good year. Uh.

109
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: Seventy nine Austin Ekeler, okay, really important player for them.

110
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: Seventy eight Jordan Poyer, Yeah, seventy seven Grady Jarrett. I

111
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: like all the safeties on there. Yeah, that's a lot.

112
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, Buckner over Jarreed, but that guy's got

113
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: a tough gig. Yeah. Seventy six is Brian Burns. Yeah,

114
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: seventy five Jordan Mulatta, Hm, So both the Eagles tackles

115
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: make it. Seventy four Derwin James Okay, so I bet

116
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: we're running out of safeties here pretty so. Yeah, there's

117
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: maybe they're Simmons are bayed. But Simmons didn't make his list,

118
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: didn't uh. Seventy three Mike Evans declining though, Yeah. Seventy

119
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: two Robert Quinn had a really good year. Is a

120
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: good trade candidates Steelers, but I don't know if he'll

121
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: finish the season with the Bears. Seventy one DeAndre Hopkins,

122
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: what if he's on there next year after the suspension?

123
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: How about this one on those guys? Seventy Deante Johnson? Wow,

124
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: I respect that. Yeah, Deante did not make the list.

125
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin didn't make this list. Deante Johnson did. He's

126
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: over A. J. Brown. Yeah, he's a really good player.

127
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: I think I would take those two over him. But

128
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: I have no problem at all with Deonte in the

129
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: top hundred. In fact, I talked to Deante last week

130
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: about that and he said, you know, one of his

131
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: goals is for his career goals is to get into

132
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: the top one hundred list. Well, Deonte, you made this one.

133
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: I think this one is least as credible as the

134
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: other one. Sixty nine Buddha Baker, Yeah, it might be

135
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: a little high. Sixty eight A. J. Terrell, Yeah, I

136
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: had a great year and he's a real foundational type corner.

137
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Sixty seven is Chase young. That's a tough He just

138
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: went on the pup today. Yeah, I wonder I hate

139
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: to say this, I hope he's the same at some

140
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: point as a player. He you know that the talent

141
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: is there, but he just gotta stay. He at one

142
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: sack last year before he got hurt. Week eight. Sixty

143
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: six DK Metcalf Sure, sixty five Keenan Allen. I think

144
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Allan's great career. Sixty four Rashawn Gary and going up

145
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: and going up. Sixty three Devondre Campbell. Yeah, he's not

146
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: a guy you see in a lot of these lists.

147
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: Seth respect there. I like that. Sixty to Chris Gobwin. Sure,

148
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: him and Michael Thomas. I don't know why, what to

149
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: really do with the fantasy and where they're at in

150
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: the world right now, but they could be impact guys.

151
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: Sixty one Jonathan Allen. Yeah, he's another one doesn't get

152
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: enough credit with the top d tackles. Yeah. Sixty Rashawn Slater,

153
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. Fifty nine Creed Humphrey. I would put

154
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Slater over Humphrey plays much more difficult position. Fifty eight

155
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, Okay, body of work. You wonder where he's

156
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: at at this point, I wonder if like Khalil max

157
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: On there. Fifty seven is Ceedee Lamb. Sure, maybe they

158
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: get targeted this year. Fifty six Xavien Howard Yeah. I

159
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: mean he's a man coverage corner, which is the foundation

160
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: of what they do, and he takes the ball away.

161
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Fifty five Darren Waller, Yeah, I guess. Fifty four Kevin Byard,

162
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: So he's probably the top safe. Yeah, which I don't

163
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: have any qualms. Well, there's one ahead of him here. Uh.

164
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: Fifty three J. C. Jackson, Okay, that's there's some blurb

165
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: by my phone. I don't know if he got hurt

166
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: today or something happens Jackson. Fifty two Micah Hide Okay.

167
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: One of the problems with like hide employer is they

168
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: steal each other's thunder. I really don't even know the difference. Yeah,

169
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: I think he is too, but they're so similar, they're

170
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: so interchangeable, which is the beauty of him. You kind

171
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: of just lump them together. Fifty one Joel Patonio, Yeah,

172
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: I hope he's ahead of Teller. Fifty Dak Prescott. That's

173
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: a great player. There's another safety. Antoine Winfield. Wow, But

174
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: I like Antoine Winfield forty eight Matthew Stafford safe, he's

175
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: might be the most representatives, the most underpaid. Uh Nick

176
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: Chubb forty six Tyrand Smith and headed the wrong way

177
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: and had the wrong way, but has some great moments.

178
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: Thought Alvin Kamara, do you think he's gonna have a

179
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: big year. I think that suspension stuff is gonna get

180
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: held off in. Yeah, he's really hard to tackle. Forty

181
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: four Trey Hendrickson. It seems a little rich for me,

182
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: but there hasn't been many edges. We've done back to

183
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: back seasons double digits, like they're two different built, you know,

184
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: two different teams. Forty three Khalil Mack. Yeah, all the

185
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: reports have been really strong on him. He really is

186
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna benefit from Bosa as opposed the other way round,

187
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, but they should get a lot album at

188
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: this point. Forty two Russell Wilson hasn't played great for

189
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: a year and a half, but he deserves that honor.

190
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: One Dalvin Cook. I'm sure how many backs I put

191
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: over Dalwin Cook just in a vacuum. How good are you?

192
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: He's he could be a Hall of Famer forty Darius

193
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Leonard Okay thirty nine Cam Jordan's not many linebackers on

194
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: this list. Thirty eight Fred Warner. Yeah, Warner would be

195
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: my one. Parsons would be my one, but he's a

196
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: little different than everybody else. Thirty seven is Quintin Nelson, Okay,

197
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: probably the top guard. Thirty six is Chris Jones. To

198
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: be that much higher than Buckner, it's a little odd

199
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: to me for him, you know. H Thirty five stuff

200
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: on Diggs, he stud Yeah. Thirty four Lamar Jackson. That's

201
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: about ze fair for Lamar. I'm trying to think he

202
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: has m Lamar over Dak and Kyler. Trying to think

203
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: of other quarterbacks that have been named Stafford Stafford. Stafford

204
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: to do one more big year with the Rams and

205
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: he could shoot up ten spots or so. Thirty three

206
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: is Max Crosby. That's right, He's in that stratosphere now.

207
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: Thirty two is Tristan Worf's. Yeah, so he was the

208
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: top right tackle. Yeah. Thirty one Jeffrey Simmons. I love

209
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: that he has Jeffrey Simmons over Jones. Yeah, and Simmons

210
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: is a Simmons a better player, Simmons a better player.

211
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: If he had Simmons over Cam I would understand thirty

212
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. Yeah, so he's had Pitts, he's had Waller

213
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: and Andrews. So I assumed Kido and Kelsey are coming. Yeah. Yeah,

214
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: Von Miller, he still got it. Tehran Armstead, Jeff Healthy.

215
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: Ye's seven, Kim Hayward. I think that's about right for him.

216
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: Twenty six Deebo Samuel. We were talking about this on

217
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: my lost we're just looking at pure football players. Yeah,

218
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. Um. We were looking at from

219
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: a Dynasty perspective on a podcast last night, and I said,

220
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: I love him. He's really expensive in that format. You

221
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: can imagine. I bet last year as his best season

222
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: as a pro. Yeah, you know, I'd love to have him.

223
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: It's hard to match what he did last year. J

224
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: you're Alexander, Yeah, he's really haven't mentioned Ramsey. I can't

225
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: put many corners over Alexander. Twenty four Jonathan Taylor, he's

226
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: a number one running back. There's probably still another one

227
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: to here ahead of him. Three. I guess Henry hasn't

228
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: been many. Twenty three is Joey Bosa good? Twenty two

229
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, So those two are close. Yeah, Yeah, I

230
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: think i'd rather I don't know which one I'd rather play. Again,

231
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: I was about to say that, I was like, I

232
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: would never pick right, Henry's never second on who I'd

233
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: rather play. It could be Earl Campbell, Walter Payton. I

234
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: don't want to play against Henry. Twenty one Joe Burrow.

235
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Is he that much ahead of Wilson? I guess yeah,

236
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: at least a lot of quarterbacks. I'm sure here twenty

237
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, Like I would much much the big word.

238
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: I would clearly rather have Herbert in Burrow. Yeah. Nineteen

239
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: is Travis Kelsey. Sure. I think he's declining a little though,

240
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: to eighteen Jamar Chase, So he's probably the third receiver.

241
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about cup Or Jefferson yet. Seventeen is

242
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, Okay, I don't know that he'll be that

243
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: high next year. Sixteen Zack Martin. Wow, still doing it.

244
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: He's going to the Hall of Fame. Yeah. Fifteen George Kittle. Yeah,

245
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: I would have Kiddle over Kelsey. He's the most complete. Yeah,

246
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: the most complete football player. Fourteen is Micah Parsons. I'm

247
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: cool with that. Yeah, I think he has He's that

248
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: kind of impact dude. Thirteen Justin Jefferson. By the way,

249
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: they signed Bar recently, Um Anthony Barr. Yeah, really quick news.

250
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: The Ravens put Edwards on the pup list. Yeah he's

251
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: he's got season, but they didn't do it with the

252
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: other guys not Yeah. Yeah. Thirteen Justin Jefferson. Yeah, I mean,

253
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: no one's had that kind of production in the first

254
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: two years in the league. Twelve Nick Bosa. I like

255
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: Nick over Joey Eleven Davante Adams. He's probably the number

256
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: one receiver. Yeah, I mean he's just a cop as

257
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: I mentioned. Yeah. Ten Jalen Ramsey. He would be my

258
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: one defensive back. Nine is Miles Garrett. Okay, so I

259
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: think it's safe to say that t J is ahead

260
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: of him. Eight is Trent Williams. Yeah, he's the best

261
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: offensive lineman in football right now. Seven is t J Watt. Yeah,

262
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: that's not too low. Six is Tom Brady. When you're

263
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: living in that you're you're tucked in there between Trent

264
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: Williams and Tom Brady. You're doing okay. Yeah, those guys

265
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: have a little experience on you too. Both are going

266
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame Fame, and they're both pretty

267
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: darn good. Yeah. Five is Cooper Cup going five as

268
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: high as five, Like, I think t J. Wats a

269
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: better football player than I think so too. I think

270
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: Trent Williams better football players. Yeah, you know, I'm not

271
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: taking away from his years remarkable, but that'll be the

272
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: best year of his career too. Four is Josh Allen,

273
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: Yeah uh. Three Patrick Mahomes, so we have Rogers and

274
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: Donald bringing on home. Two is Aaron Rodgers. One is

275
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald put Donald one and I would do the same.

276
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: So the steel has got four guys on this list

277
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: maka Deonte cam and t J Yeah yeah, okay, and

278
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: Nadia Harris on the others receiving. So we always do

279
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: this game. Who could get on it next year for

280
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers reasonably? I could see Miles Jack making a

281
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: push to get back onto a list like this. I

282
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: don't think in Ogan Joe b can. I don't think

283
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: he can't either. No, I don't know anyone else on

284
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: d that I could say is one more step away

285
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: or so. I could see George Pickens, how do you

286
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: say Pickens? Friar Muth Firearmouth, I could see making a

287
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: push to get on there. Yeah, I mean, if he's

288
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: the sixth best tight end in the league this year.

289
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: I think that's a reasonable step if he's in the

290
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: Goddard Hawkinson, the butter and there and the others receiving

291
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: those guys and the others receiving vote trade. Yeah. Yeah,

292
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: so he's a step away from that to me. Yeah,

293
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: Pickens could be in it. Yeah, I think that's it though.

294
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: What we what we talked about off the year though,

295
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: no Patriots on the entire list, not one. Their broster

296
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: is bad. They got guys on the NFL Top one

297
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: players like Jones and jude On, and jude On his

298
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: fifty second best player in the league according to come on,

299
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: come on, some of the edge guys that they had

300
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: in that neighborhood are much better than jude On, right,

301
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: and Mac Jones being like the four best player in

302
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: the league. I mean, if he's quarterback on the list,

303
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: I get it to the twentie quarter but he was

304
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: on their head at like car Yeah, that's that's wrong.

305
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: We're Mac Jones on the stretch was not great. When

306
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: the weather hit and people start of figured, would you

307
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: rather have Kirk Cousins or Mac Jones. I think Cousins

308
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: a better player or brother Mac Jones I mean for

309
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: the long term, but if if I got a game

310
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: right today, Kirk's better. Yeah, yeah, Kirk wasn't on the list,

311
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: and Matt Jones was, Yeah, it's ridiculous. And I'm sure

312
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of quarterbacks of that ILK that are

313
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: not on the list. Is don't get the flash. Absolutely,

314
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: that's a Pete supposed Pete Pirso's top one hundred Listen. Again,

315
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: a lot of good players left off that list, and

316
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 1: some players on there that you don't get as much,

317
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: don't get as much publicity as some of the other

318
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: guys are on there that deservedly so. And you know,

319
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,239
Speaker 1: yeah like Simmons and Tennessee, Jeffrey Simmons is a stud, right,

320
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the best defense players in

321
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: the league already. Right. I don't envy trying to put

322
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: that list together. I'd rather do the top ten safeties

323
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: at least it's apples Apple defensive. In fact, the defensive

324
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: tackle list at all for All Pro. That's one of

325
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: the toughest nuts the crack. I mean, well, Donald, you know,

326
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: you know one of them already. So everybody else in

327
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: the league is vying for that second spot, which is

328
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: why you know the fact that Cam Heyward has done

329
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: it now a few times, it's like pretty remarkable, like

330
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: being the second best shooting guard in the eighties or whatever.

331
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: Like Okay, I had a great year, but you had

332
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: points this year like, oh, well, I guess I'm the

333
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: second team again. We're being inside linebacker, you know, like

334
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: James Ferrier when you know Lewis is in a wild

335
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: and those guys Lewis and her Lacker, you know, freaking havoc.

336
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: Like Okay, I was the third best inside linebacker arguably

337
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: in the league. But I wasn't those guys, And in

338
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: the last fifty years, I would have been a first

339
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: team Pro Bowl or ten of them, you know, in

340
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: a second team fifteen of them, and no one even

341
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: knows who I am. Sometimes just the way it goes.

342
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes we're gonna take another break. He is Matt Williamson.

343
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: I am Dale Lally. You're listening to the drive here
