1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: At least. He's The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Williamson on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Drive. I'm Dale Lollly here with Matt

4
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: Williamson and Matt. It's a cut of rainy rain on

5
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: the way here like crazy here Wednesday. But we're again

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: one step closer, this being uh the last day in June.

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: July is almost here, which means training camp is almost here,

8
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: which means you and I are taking a little hiatus too.

9
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm going on vacation just to pull back the cart.

10
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Later this week. I'll be going on two weeks from now.

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: I think I'll be out of town on a Friday show.

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: We live NFL schedules like everybody else. This is our

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: only squeeze vacation, so we'll do stuff for that. But

14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk today about a couple of different

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: things that I've I've said I've seen on the the internet.

16
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: UM and the first one here is ESPN. It's a

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: plus article. They have Ben Lindsley, he's Pro Football Focus guy,

18
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: UM ranking NFL rosters each of each one of the

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 1: rosters here, and I wanted to see where we agree

20
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: and where we disagree with with them. I'm all in,

21
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: I saw it, I have not read it, so let's

22
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: dig in. Okay, well, do we want to start at

23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: the bottom, start with the Junk's easy, that's the easy part.

24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: I think thirty two is pretty simple. To thirty two

25
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: is should be really simple, especially if you putting no

26
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: credit to towards the quarterback. Quarterback. Yeah, uh so thirty

27
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: two before as I scrolled down, and it's got to

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: be the US Texans, and it is. I mean, if

29
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: you look at their projected starters, Um, there's not many

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: names people know. I bet. I mean, the old line

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: is not horrible. Actually, there's some names that people know,

32
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: but it's a lot of over the hill names because

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: they signed they see some free agents, like they went

34
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: out and signed mark Ingram and they signed Randall Cobb,

35
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: and they see there's some guys there that you look

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: at you go, you know, what are you getting out

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: of these That's a strange off season. First of all,

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: you you never were able to cash in on trading

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: DeShawn and you didn't have any picks, and your first

40
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: pick was a quarterback. And I do think there's a

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: little bit of method to this weird free agency madness

42
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: and that I don't think players want to go there

43
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: for first of all, So you give people a chance

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: to play on a one year deal and enhance their

45
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: stock for next year. And then if they signed somewhere

46
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: else next year, you get you gets right, and maybe

47
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: you'll find two or three you want to keep and

48
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: extend them on your own. I mean that's a possibility.

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: But the one thing that they're trying to instill, which

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: is a real patriot thing, I mean it's a patriot

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: management came down there is we need to rebuild the

52
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: whole culture. So we want a bunch of new human

53
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: beings in the room. They did an beings. I've accomplished that.

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't think any team in the league over turn

55
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: their roster like this one, right, I mean it's gonna

56
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: be six different something like that, including a new quarterback.

57
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: So they're a team that I don't know. When people

58
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: talk about the Steelers offensive line being awful, right right, right,

59
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: I mean Laramie Tunsil, Max Sharping, Justin britt Marcus Cannon

60
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: guard and Titus Howard is there's other starters. I mean

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Tunsil's star and he's like probably and he's probably the

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: best player on the Texans and that's not even close

63
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: to their weakest position group. But that's not a great

64
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: offensive line, Like that's not at all. Yeah, and we'll

65
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: do that a lot as we go through these teams.

66
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: And okah uh at thirty one the Detroit Lions, and

67
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: I think that's also an easy Yeah. I mean it's

68
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: rebuild time. They don't have receivers. They do have an

69
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: offensive line. The receivers are Tyrolle Williams, Brashad Perriman, and

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: a Mom Ross st Brown. That's not good. It's league yeah,

71
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean the Steelers receiver group. James Washington will be

72
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: a star for them. Oh he might be the number

73
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: one has leads a team and catches. Swift will catch

74
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: a lot of balls. But none of those receivers are

75
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, difference makers. That line is

76
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: Taylor Decker. That line is really good. Taylor Decker is good.

77
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: Jonah Jackson's left guards Okay, rag Now is good. They're

78
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: playing Vitai, who they way overpaid at guard. He wasn't

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: good last year, but they're moving him from tackle to

80
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: guard because they got Penas Sewell, who they're moving the

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: right tackle, and he missed a lot of training camp

82
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: or the offseason stuff. But it looks like they have

83
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: a pair of tackles and a center, yeah for sure.

84
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: And then the guards are okay, that's the best part

85
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: of the team without the question, in my opinion, without

86
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: a doubt. And if you're gonna have Jared, you're gonna

87
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: give Jared Goff any chance. We know they got to

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: be great because the receivers are going to be great.

89
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: And he's not good under pressure, you know, we know

90
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: what his trains of weakness are. The defense is what's horrific.

91
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: Number thirty is the Jets. Okay, but improving I means

92
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: a lot's gonna depend on Zack wils. Of course, we

93
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: can say this about all teams, and I preached this

94
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: forever from draft until camp. This is the best all

95
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: these teams are gonna look. And we can look at

96
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: some of these teams through at least an optimistic lens

97
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: that they have a handful of receivers that aren't terrible.

98
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: They have three now offensive linemen after signing Moses So

99
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: if I were Sam Donald, I'd say I would have

100
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: killed to play with it. But behind this group, the

101
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: offensive line for that team is McKay Beckton, who's a

102
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: good young left tackle. They drafted Elijah Vera Tucker to

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: play left guard. The center is Connor McGovern. He's okay, okay,

104
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: yeah at best. The right guard is Greg Van Rotten

105
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: again okay best, but those are your two week spots.

106
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: And then Morgan Moses. Yeah, a lot better than it's

107
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: been before that. And we know Joe Douglas who have

108
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: met a few times. He's very lying oriented and he's

109
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: not going to ignore that. But there if you look

110
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: at their running backs, just Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson

111
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: and Michael Carter and Michael Carter probably the worst running

112
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: back room in the league. Yeah, it's not good. It's

113
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Houston's bad, but not at all real bad. And even

114
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: like a cornerbacks corner is really bad. Bryce Hall bless

115
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: Austin Javelin guiddriyyah, people are could playing. Oh the Steelers

116
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: don't have any in the cornerbacks are really that's their

117
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: top three guys. Guys. That's really really bad. Yeah, they're

118
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: okay at linebacker and getting uh if c. J. Mosley

119
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: is a shell of himself, who knows and it's all

120
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: about the D line, and that's a Robert Solo Niners defense.

121
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: Um the name I'm not sure we've brought up here,

122
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: Quentin Williams, I think is going to be a star.

123
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: They paid a lot for Lawson, you know, but they're

124
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a four man rush D line. Both driven tight,

125
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, like the in the Niners. Their cornerbacks allowed

126
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: a seventy one completion percentage in their coverage last year.

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: That's not good. And people think the Steelers offense was bad,

128
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: the Jets offense was the worst in the league by

129
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: a long, long charge. At twenty nine? Is the Eagles

130
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: real quick? Jets note too? Yeah, Wilson's promising they don't

131
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: have any quarterback that's phone an NFL pass on that roster. Yeah,

132
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: that's a like I can't believe they don't have a

133
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: eight years you know somebody Gardner Minshew, Yeah, somebody like that. Dalton,

134
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: you know somebody like that. Twenty nine is the Eagles?

135
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: Mm hm? Their offensive line good? I like their own line,

136
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: do you, because it's left tackle? Is Jordan's my laptop?

137
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: He was actually quite good last year. Remember him? He

138
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: was the big giant rugby guy. Started to turn the

139
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: corner late in the year, but shouldn't have been out there.

140
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: They had a million injuries. Some of this is injury stuff.

141
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Gets behind has been very injured. The left guard is

142
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Isaac Ceomalu. Okay, but I think that could be Landon Dickerson,

143
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey, who could take a posy. Right guards you

144
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: got Brandon Brooks, but he didn't play last year, and

145
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: then the right tackles Lane Johnson, who also misses time

146
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean it's agent. Injuries are the thing here.

147
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what. Like I look at that offensive line,

148
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that on paper it's better than what

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers have. Yeah. I yeah, there's names there, but

150
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're good names anymore. They might

151
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: be in the same spot the Steelers were last year

152
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: where they had the names. He said, Well, if these

153
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: guys play up to the Bounty and Castro and right,

154
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: but Brooks and Lane Johnson are on the wrong side

155
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: of thirty and it's like they've had massive injuries. And

156
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson's as you know, and even Dickerson, who we

157
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: both like a lot, I mean, injuries are huge for him. Yeah,

158
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: so we'll see, but their roster is not very good.

159
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: Their linebackers are really bad. To the linebackers are always bad.

160
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: Their corners not named Slay aren't great. Um, they're very

161
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: d line O line driven. The lines I think good.

162
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: I think Cox comes back to being the top dude.

163
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: Hard Grave was good for them, Brandy Graham, but they're

164
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: not young and by the way they're they're starting wide

165
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: receivers are DeVante Smith, Jalen Reagor, and Travis Fulcum. I

166
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: like Goddard, I don't like Jalen Hurts though. Yeah, if

167
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: you're bad at quarterback, you're a bad team. Yeah. That's

168
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: but they have potentially three first round picks next year, correct,

169
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: So I think that's where the quarterback will eventually come.

170
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Is the Jaguars. I guess a lot of it's just unproven. Yeah.

171
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: That line is left tackle Cam Robinson, who they franchise

172
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: but he's not a franchise. Left guard is Andrew Norwell,

173
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: who is considering like massively, but he's a starting guard

174
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: this league still. The center is Brandon Linder, who's good.

175
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: He's good. The right guard is a j Can who's okay.

176
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: It's probably the weakest of the five. The Juwan Taylor

177
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: right tackle was not very hard. Yeah, hard to come on,

178
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: but they've got some guys that are I think they

179
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: drafted Aligneman reasonably high because I don't think Robinson is

180
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: coming back. Yeah yeah, yeah, but no, it's not great.

181
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean they are the first pick in the draft

182
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: last year and then we're the worst team in the league. Um,

183
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: they have some corners now, they kind of have some

184
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: pass rushers. We'd all kill to have Trevor Lawrence Eddie would.

185
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a great building block, but that's gonna

186
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: take some time. Seven is the Panthers. Hmm, okay, I

187
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: g I don't disagree with the skill. Guys are pretty good.

188
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: They are with McCaffrey coming back. Their old lines bad.

189
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: But the old line is Brady Christiansen. They're counting on

190
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: it left. I think that's what he's gonna have to

191
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: start at. Left guard is Pat Elflin. He's awful. Yeah.

192
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: They were really active early in free agency, but signed

193
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: bad guys to a lot of money. The center is

194
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: Met Paradis and he's been struggling, just as Denver. Yeah.

195
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: The right guard is John Miller, just a dude, Yeah,

196
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: just as good. The right tackles Taylor Mote and he's

197
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: he's he's very goodular yea. So they've got one offensive lineman, no,

198
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: that's way worse than Pittsburgh's. And the secondary is I

199
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: mean the defense. If you remember, they drafted all defense

200
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: a year ago, so they do have some young guys.

201
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Gonna have j. C. Horne stepping in there. He's not

202
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: another one, but I think Brian Burns is a total

203
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: star in the making. But there four or five of them,

204
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: you know that they're about half the defense is in place.

205
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: Twenty six is the Raiders defense is bad. Defense is

206
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: really bad. Their secondary Jonathan Abram's Pro Football Focus grade

207
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: last year point nine and he's terrible. Yeah, that's terrible.

208
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: That's safety type Yeah, you know, that's beyond terrible. And

209
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: they don't have a pass rush. Yeah. Cory Littleton one

210
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: of their linebackers at forty seven point one grade. That's

211
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: where linebackers go to die. Like they keep investing in

212
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: the guys that are not studs but names, and then

213
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: they stay. Yeah, and then they reshuffled the whole line,

214
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: the whole line. Yeah. So their wide receivers aren't high

215
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: end either. Their line is Colton Miller left tackle and

216
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: they paid him he's a good quality young ascending left tackle.

217
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Richie incog Needle at left guard. He's the only guy

218
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: they didn't trade off that line, one of the old guys,

219
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: and probably because nobody would take him. Have any thirty

220
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: five and nobody would take him at this point. The

221
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: center is Andre James. They seem to like him. He

222
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: had he had play last year, I believe, but he

223
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: had a twenty three point four grade out. That's Blue

224
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: Tar skiing. You're right, and I'm not the Pro Football

225
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: Focus grades are are what they are. But but if

226
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: you're at a really low level or really high level,

227
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: I think you can at least take that away from it.

228
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: Especially with the line. The right guard is Denzel go

229
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: to the fifty six point seven grade. Yeah, that's the

230
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: interior their line. And then Alex Leatherwood, who was was

231
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: way overdrafted as they're starting right tackle and they hope

232
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: he's I mean, maybe he's fine. I mean I wish

233
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: he was in the Steelers mix. It doesn't matter where

234
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: you take him. Maybe they have a set of tackles.

235
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: But I would take the Steeler's offensive line over that.

236
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: I would do. I would do. I don't understand moving

237
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: away from Hudson. That's the one that's crazy to me

238
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 1: because plus he's a really good leader, and you know,

239
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: yeah at twenty and the golf argument, car needs to

240
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: be needs to be protected. Right right five is the Falcons.

241
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: Their defense is pretty rough. The line is not good either,

242
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: and the lines a couple of first round picks, but

243
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: none of them are starts. The left tackles Jake Matthews.

244
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 1: He's okay, he's good quality protector. The left guard is

245
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Mayfield, who's a rookie. Connie on the start is

246
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: a third up type deal. Right, the center is Matt Hennessy,

247
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: who had a forty seven Pro Football Focus grade last year.

248
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: They drafted a center to though, yeah, maybe he's an

249
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: undersize the fifth round pick or something, fourth round pick.

250
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: The right guard is Chris Lindstrom, he's okay, first round

251
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: pick that hasn't been great. And the right tackle is

252
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: Caleb McGarry, first round pick who hasn't been great. Remember

253
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: that year they took both those guys in the first round,

254
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: late first round, and neither has been a star. Yeah,

255
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: but the defense exactly, you know, outside of Grady Jarrett,

256
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: they've gotten nobody on defense who is any good. I mean,

257
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: the defense is really bad. That's why I don't understand.

258
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you're gonna do something this obviously, instead

259
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: of trading Julio Jones, why not trade Grady Jarrett and

260
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: get a bunch of picks. And you've got more for him.

261
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: You've got more for him, and he's a younger player.

262
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: He's a really good player. He's but he's a I mean,

263
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Dion Jones is okay. Their team in general, like they

264
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: could compete this year, maybe seven eight wins. You know,

265
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is good year, but this isn't where we're going.

266
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: But they put like five guys eating up all their contracts.

267
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: All right. Twenty four is the Bengals. That's probably about right,

268
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: probably up from where it was a year ago. Slightly. Yeah,

269
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: But the line left tackle Jonah Williams, left guard Quentin Spain,

270
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: he wouldn't start for the Steelers. The center is Trey Hopkins.

271
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: He's he's bad. I mean, he's okay. I wouldn't trade.

272
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Green than Hopkins. But right now, Hopkins

273
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: is a better player. Well, you just have a what

274
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: is The right guard is Jackson Carmen, who's maybe a

275
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: little light in a seat for to play guard in

276
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. So I think he I think he's like

277
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: three thirty issue. I think you don't think he's a

278
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: bad I thought he's more like three oh five. I

279
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: thought he's more of a tall. He has back issues though, Yeah,

280
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: and then the right tackles Riley Reef, who better than

281
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: what they played with. But he's just a guy, just

282
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: a guy. I'd rather the Steelers line for sure. Another

283
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: thing about that, um, they led the league in eleven

284
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: personnel usage last year, and presumably that's gonna be mixing

285
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: a tight end Chase Boyd Higgins, which sounds really good

286
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: except for the tight end. But the problem is they

287
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: also led the league in three man route concepts because

288
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: their line right, so they're tight ends really just a blocker.

289
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully that's not the case for mixing you. I mean

290
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: they they want to use him in the past game

291
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: at twenty three is the Bears. You want to hear

292
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: a bad line, bad line, bad line, Tevin Jenkins at

293
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: left tackle. Why we weren't sure he's a right he

294
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: might be a right tackle. That might be what he is.

295
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: And then they cut Leno though the day after that,

296
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: right I don't understand that. At left guard Cody white Hair,

297
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: who's he's there? He's there star the stud of there.

298
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: He's been a center, he's been a guard. He's good.

299
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: The center is Sam Mustafer, Yeah, okay, who's the other guard?

300
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: Then James Daniels and say Daniels might be the senate

301
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: I think they and then her main Fettie the right

302
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: tackle is a problem, and one interior spots the problem.

303
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: You got a rookie. You're counting on a rookie left tackle,

304
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: and there really isn't any star power. They're not a

305
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: good not good, not a good line. Uh. At twenty

306
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: two is the Dolphins. But if they're getting the same

307
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: grief that you got for putting them that low, I know,

308
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: I think there's have some questions. That's Austin Jackson at

309
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: left tackle. He had a fifty two grade lecture. We

310
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: knew he was going to be a project. Remember he

311
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: like donated plasma to his sister and knew this was

312
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough year. It left guards Solomon Kinley,

313
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: who had a fifty one grade last year. That might

314
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: be Eichenberg though. At center is Matt Skura, who the

315
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Ravens moved on. He had a forty nine grade. He's

316
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: not necessarily the answer. The star was Robert Hunt at

317
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: left guard sixty last year, eight grade. That's their star.

318
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: And then they're probably getting leam Meikenberg in it right town.

319
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: I was wondering where they put Eichenberg. Yeah, yeah, not good.

320
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean they've had a lot unlike the Steelers. They've

321
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: had a lot of picks, a lot of caps bay

322
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: and they've thrown some money at the line. But I'm

323
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: not sure that it's I would have rather than Steelers

324
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: at twenty one is the Cardinals. They got old this

325
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: offseason on purpose? Yeah, on purpose, they didn't. They did

326
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: it to themselves. That lines Okay, Hudson helps, Yeah, they

327
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: got DJ Humphries left tackle. He's actually been He's pretty good.

328
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: When I did my tackle rags, I was kind of

329
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: shocked that he's been. Okay, yeah it. Left guard is

330
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: Justin Pugh, who again is okay. Yeah, he has injury

331
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: issues to you though. Uh center's Rodney Hudson will see

332
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: how long he's thirty five. Though, with all respect to

333
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: my man a Q Shipley, Hudson's a nice upgrade. Right

334
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: guard is Justin Murray. Just a guy, just a guy.

335
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: You can live with that. A guard and then it

336
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: right tackles. Kelvin Beachum all right, they're old. Yeah, that's

337
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: an old line. Everyone they added this year. He was old. Dude.

338
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: Twenty is the Chargers. Wow, I'd probably take Umbridge with that.

339
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: They have some holes, but they got some good players.

340
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Here's their line. Their line is good all of a sudden.

341
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: Rashawn Slater at left tackle. Nice, Matt Feiler at left guard.

342
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: Gotta love that, Corey Lindsay. It's center massive. I mean

343
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: this upgraded the whole left side of their offensive line.

344
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: Oh day a bushy. They like him. He's a nasty

345
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: run blocking type. Their worst graded guy last year was

346
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: Brian Blood blog right tackle. Injuries. Yeah, but if you

347
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: can get back. Here's their problem. The defensive line has

348
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: some name value. They have one guy, but it's Jerry

349
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: Tillery Linbaal Joseph Justin Jones with Yeah, it was the

350
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: first round pick. His grade was forty three point nine

351
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: last years is a star. But there isn't anything happened.

352
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray was not good last year. Linebacker troubles not uncommon,

353
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: though they do get Durwin back and they moved on

354
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: from some cornerbacks like, yeah, it's Michael Davis and Chris Harris.

355
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: And he said, oh, they got Chris Harris, but he's

356
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: not what he used to be. He's up in age

357
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: and those loot corners don't last. And then this year

358
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: Adderly the other safety. I liked him coming out of school,

359
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: but he's not been good. He hasn't done anything yet. Yeah,

360
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: so they got some Murray and Aderlie and Durwin. They

361
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: need to all need to be stars and they need

362
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: to stay healthy, stay healthy too. Uh at nineteen is

363
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: the Giants This old lines worse than the Steelers too.

364
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas at left tackle. He got better as the

365
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: season one on, but stunk girl, but he was the

366
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: first tackle worst had a back then head of Wills

367
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: Will Hernandez at left guard. He's big and nasty, but

368
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: he's heavy footed. His grave was fifty eight point one.

369
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: He's probably their best lineman. Nick Gates is the center

370
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: at fifty nine point seven. Shane Lemieux, who a lot

371
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: of Steeler fans wanted the Steelers to draft because well,

372
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: his last name is will New He's gotta be and

373
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: hewhere sixty six he's the right guard. He had a thirty.

374
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: He had a thirty two point two, and then right

375
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: tackle was met Pert. He should not wear sixty six.

376
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: Think of it, um Perts. Okay, he's one of those

377
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: project tackles. Uh. They also sold her coming back from

378
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: the cutting him though right he's had injury issues and

379
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: he's expensive. But makes no sense to me though, is

380
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: what if you had zeitlerst I mean, at least you

381
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: had a solid NFL guard and I know he wasn't cheap,

382
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: but keep him. I mean, I'd rather give half of

383
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 1: Galladay's money to Zeisler, so, especially since you drafted a receiver.

384
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know I would have kept Leisler

385
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: at eighteen is the Patriots. I love their own line

386
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: though Isaiah went at left tackle. He has injury issues,

387
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: but he's a good player. Mike owned Win who at

388
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: left guard. He was a really good rookie tackle that

389
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: they're moving to guard. David Andrews at center, and they

390
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: signed another guy to um Harris. Maybe they brought back

391
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: someone's played snaps. Andrews was their lowest rated guy last year. Yeah,

392
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: Jack Mason it right to at right guard, and they

393
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: brought Trent Brown back at right to the Okay, that's

394
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: the strength of the team, but can they you know,

395
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: can you throw the football? And I think the receiver

396
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: whiteouts are horror. Yeah, I mean it's Nelson Aghilar and

397
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: Kendrick Borne are the two starters. Yeah, that's as bad

398
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: as James Washington with right right right, that's lion like

399
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: uh at seventeen. The Saints mhm mighty have fallen. Depth

400
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: is a real problem. The line, though, is still lines awesome,

401
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: and they resigned Ram check him. But here's the thing. Okay,

402
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: so Toron Armstead, Yeah, Andrew's pete left guard. His grade

403
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: was sixty one point nine. He's up and down and

404
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: he also plays with a lot of injuries, but at

405
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: his good days, he's good. Eric McCoy at center was

406
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: a stiffine sixty nine point four grade. Ruise did not

407
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: Caesar Ruise was a fifty three point eight first round

408
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: picked last year. You would think he'd be better. And

409
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: Ram checks the stud Ram check. His grade was seventy

410
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: nine point four. I mean, it was just fine. That's

411
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: why I probably just disagree with profile. We'll focus on you,

412
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: don't you're not getting a ninety grade isn't as an

413
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: offensive lineman anything, and I feel for them a little bit.

414
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: But ram Check, to me is maybe the best right

415
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: tackle in the league and they just extended him today. Uh,

416
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: it's sixteen. They have the Steelers, mm hmm. I probably

417
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: would have them a little higher than that, but I'm

418
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: sure they're on line questions are part of it. Yeah,

419
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: at least they've got the right it's core four dots

420
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: and Kendrick Green, Trade Turner, Zack Banner. Some people have

421
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: pass in there and you know, which is just sillingness,

422
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: but that the grades aren't all a qure Four's grade

423
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: lessure people, Well, he was awful lusher. It's fifty seven

424
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: point four, which isn't great obviously, but it's not as

425
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: bad as some of these other guys we've seen on here.

426
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: Just a quick old line question, yes or no? Do

427
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: you think the two thousand twenty one old line will

428
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: be better than the two thousand twenty line. I do.

429
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: I do too, because of its scheme change. I think

430
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: a lot of things will help it. I think what

431
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: they're doing schematically will help this offensive line immensely. I

432
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be a top or maybe they're

433
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: not top fifteen. Maybe A talked one it maybe um,

434
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: and there's some lines that we've brought up that I

435
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: would certainly not trade the Stealers for. But I think

436
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: it'll be better than last year's Yeah, no, I agree,

437
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: I agree. Uh. At fifteen, I think the Steelers should

438
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: be higher than that. But the fifteen is the Seahawks.

439
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: They have holes. Yeah, it's Dwayne Brown, Damian Lewis at

440
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: left guard, Ethanos at the center. The right guard is

441
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson who they got from the Raiders. Yea, and

442
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Shell at right tackle. They got centered and right okay, okay, yeah,

443
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: but they got too old. Dwayne Brown is getting getting left.

444
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: At fourteen is the Colts. They have a quality roster,

445
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: quality roster, but a big question at quarterback. Yeah, without question.

446
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: The line is now Eric Fisher at left tackle. He's

447
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: not gonna be ready to count him, Quentin Nelson at

448
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: left guard. The rest of the line is really good.

449
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly at center, Mark Lanowski at right guard, Brandon

450
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: Smith at right tackle, Kelly in Glenowski or Glowinski. I

451
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: should say we're the two lowest rated guys on their

452
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: sixty eight and sixty seven point one. I think they're fine.

453
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: They're fine. Yeah, yeah, they have left tackle at fourteen

454
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Thirteen the tight. I think Tannehill is a

455
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: really good player. They've got some like here's Here's defense

456
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: is the defense tier tart is starting on their is

457
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: one of their projected defensive starters. On the interior, um, guys,

458
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: is a lot of what ifs uh Rashaan Evans. Rashaan

459
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: Evans has not been good. No, they didn't pick up

460
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: his option. Christian Fulton one of their cornerbacks that they

461
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: drafted last year. What's far is not good? They're all

462
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: lines okay though it's Yeah, it's Taylor little one, good

463
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: play tackle, good player, Roger Staffole, good player, good player.

464
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: Ben Jones at center is a good player. Fine. Yeah,

465
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: Nate Davis and Dylan Radden's on the on the right

466
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: side of the questionable area. But it's not bad. You

467
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: can attack that. Dylan Raddons hasn't played football, and I

468
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: mean you'd like Davis and Radden's to be in the

469
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: mix with the Steelers. You know, you're gladly open those guys.

470
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: Take those guys for sure. Uh at twelve Washington, it's

471
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: a really good roster with I think a bad a quarterbacks,

472
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: bad quarterback situation. So you've got Charlie Charles Leno at

473
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: left tackle, Eric Flowers at left guard, Chase Rolierre at

474
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: okay at center, Yeah, Brandon sure let right guards a

475
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: stud and then they're plugging Samuel caused me in it,

476
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: right tack. And again they moved on from Morgan Moses

477
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: to like, what if you had that's kept him? Yeah,

478
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: he could have kept him and caused me. You could

479
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: come along slow be the sixth guy for eleven is

480
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: the forty Niners. That's Trent Williams, Lake and Tomlinson, Alex

481
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: Macaron Banks and Mike McGlinchey left or right. That's a

482
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: good group. That's Group H hopefully macas although mac is

483
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: he's fading at ten. The Broncos, it's I love the

484
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: roster minus the quarterback. You don't have a quarterback. I

485
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: don't know how much be the tenth best team in

486
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: the league without a quarter with one of the worst

487
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and Washington And here's the problem with the Pro

488
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: Football Focus. Okay, so they're Garrett Bowles is a nine

489
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: point sixth grade. Alright, that's the highest I've seen on

490
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: here yet because holding is legal now, because holding is legal.

491
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: But then it's it's Dalton Reisner at the left guard,

492
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: Lloyd Cushionberry who was awful at center, levers but they

493
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: drafted one. Yeah, Graham Glasgow at the right guard, who's

494
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: just okay, and then Bobby Massey at right tackle, who's

495
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: just a guy, just a guy. Yeah. Munch is doing

496
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: some good stuff with them though. Uh nine is the Vikings. Yeah,

497
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: that offensive line is Christian Derrissault left tackle. See he

498
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced all these two, Ezra Cleveland at left guards.

499
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: He Garrett Bradberry att center. Why Davis is the right guard?

500
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: There's the other rookie and the Brian O'Neill at right tackle,

501
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: who might be the best guy. I think he is

502
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: the best guy. He's I mean, all those guys are

503
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: like three years or less. Yeah, and that could be.

504
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: That could be the Steelers, the Cowboys at eight. Their

505
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: line needs to stay healthy. Yeah, their offense is loaded.

506
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: It's Tyrone Smith at left tackle, Connor Williams at left guard,

507
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Blades at center. He was not goddess, should be honest.

508
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: Whatever you have, Zack Martin at right guard Collins right tackle.

509
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: They have three old studs almost a ton of time

510
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: last year. I don't know Tyron Smith. There's no way

511
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: he's making through seventeen games. Seven is the Rams. Yeah,

512
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: but it's studs and scrubs, studs and scrubs. Yeah. I

513
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: mean they got Bobby Evans right guard and not Bob

514
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: Evans restaurant Bobby Evans. Uh. It's Six is the Packers.

515
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: There's a big, big right. Yeah, they're headlines going through

516
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: some changes. Yeah. You got David back Tier at left tackle.

517
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: He's the highest rated guy obviously, Elton Jenkin's and really

518
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: good guard. Josh Meyers at center. So they're starting Lucas

519
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: Patrick at right guard, Billy Turner right. It's the problem. Yeah,

520
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: that's you're playing a brake up for blog. You know,

521
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: Lindsley is gone it. Five is the Ravens. I agree

522
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: with that. I think the Ravens have a really good roster.

523
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley at left tackle, he's assuming he's Ben Cleveland

524
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: and left guard. He missed a lot of time. Yeah,

525
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: Bradley Boseman at center, Kevin Zeitler right guard. Zeitler was

526
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: an great last year. No, he was not. And then

527
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: alvil In Nueva at right tackle. O lines not the

528
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: strength of the team. No, which if you're a running team,

529
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: it should be. The Bills at four. I think they

530
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: have the best rosters. Yeah, that's Dion Dawkin's, Cody Ford,

531
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris, Joe Feliciano, and Darryl Williams. That's a good,

532
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: pretty good line. And he's a little questionable. They don't

533
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: make star power there, but it's a good group. He

534
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: has the they have the Browns number three, I think

535
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: the best line. Yeah, I mean everybody knows that line.

536
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: Jendrick Willis. Jendrick Willis is grade for the Pro Football

537
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: Focus is only sixty two point six as a rookie, though,

538
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: I mean he was my favorite tackle in that draft.

539
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: I won't know head drop that too much. Yeah, I'd

540
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: love to have him Betonio, J. C. Trader, Wyatt Teller,

541
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: and Jack Conkin great line. Teller had a ninety two

542
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: point three grade last year. He's not that good. He's

543
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: not that he's a good player, but he's not that good. Uh.

544
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: He was not the best offensive lineman in the league

545
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: last year. No, the Chiefs at two, they're are lines different,

546
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: as is the Steelers. I guess that's when Rand Brown,

547
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: Joe Thuney, Creed Humphrey, Laurence Verney, Tartiff and Mike Rumers.

548
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: And then number one is the Buccaneers. That's darn yeah,

549
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: don Donovan Smith, Ali, Mark pet Ryan Jensen, Allan, Alex

550
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: Kappa and Tristan Worf's that's a good line. So the

551
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: tennis line, yeah, yeah, but there's ten there. I probably

552
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: would rather have the Steelers and there's five easily, yeah, easily, right,

553
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: but it's not slam dunk on some of these other ones. No, right, right, right,

554
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: there are there are a lot of lines out there

555
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: who just aren't very good. Aren't that great? I mean

556
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 1: to say that this is the worst line in the league. Well,

557
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: then you weren't listening to the last segment. Yeah, but

558
