00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: He is The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

Speaker 1: this is gold medal the gold medal game USA versus

5
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: h Japan. It's always weird when the when the Olympics

6
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: are on the other side of the world, like we

7
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: played it odd times. Yeah, I was. I just assumed

8
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: this was some kind of playing garin some kind of

9
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, non super important game. Of course, there's no

10
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: one in the stands. I don't I'm not super into

11
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: the Olympics, but every time they're on and they just

12
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: we just have to stumble in it. Here. I'm blown

13
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: away with how athletic and how good these guys are.

14
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Like I had volleyball on last night. Holy smokes. Those

15
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: guys jump like no one's business and just smack the

16
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: ball and cover so much court and their change in

17
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: direction and they're all six five, and I was like, wow,

18
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm super impressed. I always like playing volleyball. It's one

19
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: of my favorites actually, And yeah, I don't cover a

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: whole lot of ground, but I was actually trying to

21
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: watch them, like how they spike how they serve, and

22
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: it's they're so high off the ground, you know, and

23
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: obviously there's technique involved too, but wow, I mean I

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: was super impressed. I remember we uh you p j

25
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: U a couple of uh like my one roommate's girlfriend

26
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: played volleyball in high school and her roommated played volleyball

27
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: in high school, and both my kids would and we

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: went over to just to hit the ball around the

29
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: one day and I threw down a spike on one

30
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: of them, and here, you can't do that. I'm like,

31
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: what what do you mean? That's right, that's how you

32
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: score points because I could get up above the net

33
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: still at that time and play up there. But it's

34
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: a fun. Apparently you can't have a closed fist when

35
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: you do it. I don't Is that a rule? I

36
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: don't know, And I guess your your hand has to

37
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: be open with right, I don't know. I mean, I

38
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: mean I've only played pick up, yeah, not played a

39
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: whole lot of attention type of thing, and my kids

40
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: have both been in it, but COVID, no one's been

41
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: the seats and you know, but they were, Um, I

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: was shocked how open their hands words not a carry,

43
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: but The way that they snapped the ball and control

44
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: the ball is impressive. They hit it high or low

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: or lower, tap spins or right. Yeah, but no, I

46
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: was impressed. Yahause women are good. Yeah. I actually covered

47
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: the cow women's softball team a few years ago when

48
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: they made a run to the final four uh in

49
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: n C Double A Division two. Values him Yeah, and

50
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: their picture was Canadian, the picture in the Canadian national team.

51
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: And man, she could throw awesome. Yeah. My daughter's played

52
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot of softball and she's okay, to be honest,

53
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: it's not like she's listening. I think that one of

54
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: the more unnatural things I've seen in sports is women's

55
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: softball pitching. And you see it's even at like twelve

56
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: year old level. There's some pitching coaches that you can

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: pay a lot of money too, but they it just

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: seems so unnatural to me. I can't imagine firing a

59
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: ball underhand, and and they're the timing and some of

60
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: them take the ball or their gloves and slap it

61
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: against their leg for to keep the timing regular. I

62
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, just always been around baseball, on

63
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: softball growing up. I'm blown away with how good the

64
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: pictures are and it seems like that's obviously the most

65
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: important thing in the game. You know, we didn't play

66
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: on talking about we didn't play on time, but it's

67
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: on usually do completely live radio, right right, so interesting.

68
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: But as we're doing our completely live radio, Aaron Rodgers

69
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: has arrived in Green Bay. Really, it's an interesting situation.

70
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: What I know about it. The USA is lost. They

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: just lost. They played seven or nine, so I don't

72
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: have the volume on. Of course, do nothing. Japan wins, yeah,

73
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: team um, so they get silver here, right, the USA

74
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: get the silver. But let's chat out in Rogers for

75
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: a moment. It seems to me the way that this

76
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: has all been structured, and maybe because I haven't dug

77
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: into it as much as I should, it's like the

78
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: ideal situation for Rogers because he plays one more year,

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: makes a good buck, maybe wins the Super Bowl, has

80
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: a good supporting cast, and clearly will be gone after

81
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: that year. Yes, I think it's really good for Jordan's

82
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: love because we threw him in the mix right now.

83
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: He would probably sink. He probably sink, but he's gonna

84
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: play a ton in the preseason. He doesn't play, isn't

85
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: played again, Is that right? And I thought he was,

86
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: more so than most first round picks, needed all the

87
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: work he could get. Um. I think it's great for

88
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: the Packers fans because I think only Tampa is ahead

89
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: of them in the NFC right now, and you know

90
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: what's coming you can get excited about. We're gonna get

91
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: picks for Rogers. You know, it's good for Davante Adams.

92
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: He's probably signed a big contract next to he gets

93
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: to play with his buddy for at least one more year.

94
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, they were, you know, kind of. I don't

95
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know that I resigns a big

96
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: deal there. Maybe it's only a one year deal and

97
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: they both go their separate. He's under contract for this season, right, bro,

98
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: he is right, so I think he us think about it.

99
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: I think he plays out the string and says, well,

100
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Farren Rodgers isn't gonna be here. I don't know that

101
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: I want to be here long term. Now. I think

102
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: that's the way it goes to. I think he makes

103
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: this one and then makes a fortune in the off season.

104
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: So but then the Packers can prepare to I mean,

105
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: that's why I think it's good for them. Is you

106
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: sit there for a year ago and we have the

107
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: m v P, we have a star, but we know

108
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the days coming where sort of like Steelers, you know,

109
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna open up some cap space, We're gonna get

110
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: some draft picks with this guy. And Love already has

111
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good supporting cast, probably win double digit games. Yeah.

112
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: I think the way that the contract is going to

113
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: be written is he's a free agent after this year. No,

114
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's he's a free agent after that year

115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: because the Packers wanted to make sure that they could

116
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: trade him. You know that they wanted to make sure

117
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: that the world knew that he would be leaving, and

118
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: but they were gonna they were not going to allow

119
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: to take nothing for him. So someone's gonna trade for

120
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Okay, the deal expres after the Yeah, the

121
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: deal expires after the season. Yeah, they're wiping out the

122
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: three season. That's what exactly. That's what I got. I

123
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: was thinking they were wiping out next season. So he's

124
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: very tradeable. I mean, again, every one knows what's comming.

125
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: He's gonna make that one one more deal, and I

126
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: know Steeler fans are, oh hey, Ben Marla Flisberger is

127
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna be done and linked to him a ton um.

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: I think it's as good at landing spot as logical

129
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: atlantic spot is anywhere in the league. I can find

130
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: to be very honest with you, and I don't mean

131
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: to like get everyone's super excited. I'm not predicting it.

132
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: What would you give up forever? Like, I'm not giving

133
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: up multiple first round draft picks for a quarterback who's

134
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: thirty eight. That's actually my my sticking point. Because they

135
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: have the cap space to do it. I would think

136
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay would prefer to ship them to the a

137
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: f C. They're certainly not going to keep them in

138
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: division um, and there's other teams that I'm sure would

139
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: would probably outbid the Steelers. But this would be a

140
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: really attractive spot with the Steelers receivers running defense defense,

141
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: and you know you can tell them we're gonna work

142
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. But again two first three first, Yeah,

143
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm not doing I don't know that I'm not. And

144
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: here's an interesting conversation too, though I hear this all

145
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: the time, like I've brought it up for a while now,

146
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers can go get the Shawn Watson, Russell Wilson,

147
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and people tell me, well, that's not what

148
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: they do. Well, I'm like, they haven't been looking for

149
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback for eighteen years. How do you know what

150
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: they do? You know, here's the thing about that. The

151
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: people that say, well, the Steelers are very conservative, they

152
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 1: don't do these kind of things. I don't know that's true.

153
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: They traded up for Devon Bush, including trade, you know,

154
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: moving a bunch of picks there. They traded for make

155
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: of Fitzpatrick. Right. No one thought that they've worked outside

156
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: what their their normal parameters are. For the last few years,

157
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: they've been more aggressive. I think there's a misconception that

158
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: because they've been owned by the same people and the

159
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: same quarterbacks and centers and certainly coaches for all of

160
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: our lifetimes, that they're conservative. They're old school. The Rooneys

161
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: are very forward thinking, you know. I mean, Dan Rooney

162
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: had all sorts of new ideas for the league, and

163
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: it's not like we only do things one way and

164
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: that's the only way we're gonna do it. I think

165
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: the history shows quite the opposite. Yeah, I just don't.

166
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: To me, the sticking point is I'm not interesting giving

167
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: up multiple I knew we're gonna have this conversation and

168
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: guy's gonna be thirty nine next year. Now, I'll say this,

169
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: the bass salaries million dollars this year. It's not bad.

170
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: That's not bad at all. And I would guess wherever

171
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: he goes, assuming it's a good deal this year, he's

172
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: gonna want an extension. But there's does Tom Brady playing?

173
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: He just he turns forty four this week? Right? Does

174
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: that change you're thinking on that? Like, Okay, quarterbacks can play. Yeah,

175
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean Rogers won the MVP last year. If he's

176
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: in contention this year and isn't showing any signs of

177
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: slowing down, I would think a three year deal to

178
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: your deal you can get out of. I don't know.

179
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's just multiple first if he were third,

180
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: if he were thirty five, I think the conversation is different. Right.

181
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: If it's like a Stafford type of movie, you know,

182
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: then I'm okay. I'll If it's multiple first round graph picks,

183
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm okay at that because you're gonna get five or

184
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: six years out of the quarterback. I'm not interested in

185
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: trading two first round draft picks for for a guy

186
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: who might only play one or two more years. No,

187
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: I think that's very logical. And assuming the bottom doesn't

188
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: fall out of the Steelers and it's not a super

189
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: high pick, I'm not sure the eighth pick in the

190
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: draft gets it done. If I'm gonna Bay, if if

191
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: you're fighting with Denver or Houston or Carolina. Here's the

192
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: other part of the equation on this. Okay, Rogers is

193
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: going to be on the move. Yeah, somewhere that team

194
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: is likely already going to have an established quarterback who

195
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: would then also like, let's say it's the Raiders. Okay, well,

196
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: now Derek Cars on the move. It's the musical chairs

197
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: situation that we've seen the last couple of years, or

198
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, because Green Bay doesn't need one back,

199
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna open a BA and all of a sudden,

200
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: Let's let's say car goes to Minnesota and now Minnesota said,

201
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: well we move on from Kirk Cousins, and you know,

202
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: it's just definitely that that happens in the league. Now.

203
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: The one thing about the Steelers that no matter what

204
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: team I were I was in charge of, I'd really

205
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: hate to trade multiple first because you don't know when

206
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna need him and that's the pipeline, and that's

207
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: what the league is all about, in my opinion. But

208
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: even if he's only a thirty five million dollar cap

209
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: hit next year, you can set yourself up. They're not

210
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna lose anyone. They don't want to lose the Javon

211
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Hargraves of the world. You know, guys like that that

212
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: he knew it was common. I didn't, but I didn't

213
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: want to lose him, you know. So at least you

214
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: could keep your own. But you could get old real quick.

215
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: You can, even if you're grabbing guys outside the organization

216
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: on first coming off their first going. The other part

217
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: of the equation is that, okay, whatever team then trades

218
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers, are they going to take quarterback in

219
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: the first round, which you should sometimes you should. You

220
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: can't do it next year because you just trade your

221
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: first round draft pick to do it, and he didn't

222
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: the Packers making the happiest guy in the world a

223
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: couple of years. The Packers probably aren't taking a quarterback

224
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: in the first round because I want to see unless

225
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: Love completely stinks this offseason, in which case then they

226
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: may not want to trade Rogers, or they might want

227
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback and return maybe cars part of that deal,

228
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's all the imaginations

229
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: of you know, Deshaun Watson is going to be on

230
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: the move next year. Yeah, he's gonna be in the movie,

231
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: if not sooner in Houston. Well, Houston is gonna draft

232
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: a quarterback next year, and you would shure think so,

233
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: and they're gonna pick probably very high. Yeah. Right, So

234
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: that's one Jacksonville is not taking a quarterback. The Jets

235
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: taking quarterback teams that could be really bad. Is that

236
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: what you're thinking? I would think it's pretty Detroit could

237
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: Detroit could should? Are the Giants gonna take a quarterback?

238
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: What if? What if? Jonesians and Dolphins are sort of interesting? Yeah,

239
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: because they're kind of no man's land right now. They've

240
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: got young starters. What if those guys have okay years? Yeah? See,

241
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: I think they could be I don't say Kyler Murray

242
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: you know Rosen situation. But if you're picking high and

243
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: this guy's been there a little while Daniel Jones has

244
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: a similar year to what he's done, I bet you

245
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: move on. But the how about the Steelers though? Do

246
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: you want to to uh or Jones and maybe mix

247
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: them with Rudolph to pick. It depends on what the

248
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: cost is. You know, they get those guys a lot cheaper.

249
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: We saw them bring in Haskins and and you know,

250
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: like he didn't cost him, like he didn't cost him anything.

251
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: In this case, if it's a fifth round draft pick

252
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: or a fourth round draft pick for a quarterback who's

253
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: still in his rookie deal, Okay, we'll take a shot

254
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: and maybe the two right, you know, even like let's

255
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: say two uh gets hurt in week two and Brissette

256
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: leads that team and they do okay, or they have

257
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: a terrible year and they're picking the top five. Time

258
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: to move on from to you know, like pick him

259
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: up for nothing? Yeah, I don't know. I just think

260
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys that could be on the move.

261
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: And you're right that the dominoes and the musical chairs

262
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: are sure to happen, because I think I think we

263
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: now know Watson and Rodgers will be on different teams

264
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: and they'll be the starters in two thousand point Unfortunately,

265
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: it's kind of like what happened into the Steelers after

266
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: Bradshaw retired. Um or was done. However you want to

267
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: call that, Um, you know, you had Woodley and Stout

268
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, you had Stout and Malone and that

269
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: was the first round pick. It was the first round pick.

270
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: But then you bring in guys like David Woodley, who

271
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: had again a failed starter with Miami. They got you know,

272
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean all the way down to Tom Zack and

273
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: guys like that. We're probably back up your cycling guys

274
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: through there who you know, well he started some games

275
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: for this team, or he was a high draft pick

276
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: for that team. You get two first rand rodgers. I

277
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: just think it's I think it's such a different situation

278
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: now because of the salary cap that we're seeing more

279
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: quarterback movement than ever before in the league. Oh yeah,

280
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: I think that's the last two years have been nuts. Well.

281
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: I think you want to avoid at the quarterback position,

282
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: and that's the kind of the era of it's different

283
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: with them finances, as you mentioned, But you don't want

284
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: to be a Matt Shaw Bland you know where, And

285
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers were until Ben for the most part.

286
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is an obvious example. Kirk Cousins is even

287
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: a better example because he's good, you know, he's but

288
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: he's not great best quarterback in the league, and most

289
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: Sundays the quarterback on the opposite side is probably better,

290
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, like keep the ball out of his home

291
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: about half the Sundays at least half, right, And he's

292
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: a thirty million dollar cap hit though, I mean, that's

293
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: the problem is like Cleveland needs to figure out if

294
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: that's Baker, you know, I mean, and I think it is.

295
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: I think it is too. But he's more talented than Cousins.

296
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the first overall pick in the draft.

297
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: I'd rather I'd rather play against Cousins than Mayfield. But

298
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: that's the thing, you know, Jared Goff was that guy. Yeah,

299
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, these guys are gonna get thirty million. Well

300
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: that's a part of the equation. It's changed. It used

301
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: to be you'd have quarterbacks scattered throughout the first round.

302
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, all the quarterbacks go in

303
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: the top ten picks. Yeah, right, in the first round.

304
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: It's very you know, you don't see a lot and

305
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: the certainly they don't get past pick in the middle

306
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: of the first round. Yeah. Mac Jones was yeah, right,

307
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: but he was a fifth one taking. I mean, the

308
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: only reason Lamar Jackson falls to to you know, the

309
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: end of the first round is that there were what

310
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks picked in the top ten that year. Everybody

311
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: picked quarterbacks, and like I've done a little bit of

312
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: looking ahead quarterbacks, you know, coming out next year, and

313
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about Yeah, but he's not really a first

314
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: round pick. He's going the first round, I'll tell you that, right,

315
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: and he probably goes in the top fifteen picks. Right,

316
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Like Sam how from North Carolina looks like a promising player.

317
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people compare him to Mayfield. He's not

318
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: really super tools the first round. He's going in the

319
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: first round that right now, the disastrous season, no doubt

320
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: my mind, he's going in the first round. It's just

321
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: the way it works. Like he's gould be the Giants

322
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: new quarterback because you know, when you look at the

323
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: quarterback contracts being thrown around, you know, to get an

324
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: average starters million dollars, right, I mean, I'd rather take

325
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: a chance on I don't think Damia Jones very good,

326
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: but I'd rather draft Daniel Jones and pay him rookie

327
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: money and have a fifth year option, then give thirty

328
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: two million to Kirk Cousins. Yeah, I know fully guaranteed,

329
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: and I know Cousins is better than Jones, but I

330
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: have twenty more million to play with. The ceiling is right, right, right,

331
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: So that's obviously gonna be a big Steeler conversation, absolutely,

332
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to keep an eye on that. But

333
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: you know, it gets down to the Carson Wentz situation,

334
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: the same thing, darn Old, many examples, guys change, James wins,

335
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, right, So we'll see how that all works out.

336
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: But the Aaron Rodgers now will be a Packer. He

337
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: won't be coming to the FC this year. Yes, go

338
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: to it makes things easier. I think this year for

339
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers, I know that. You know, again, the Broncos

340
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: were a team that everybody's talking about what they could

341
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: be a surprising team, not if they don't have Aaron

342
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: ron Yeah, I think that that ship sailed. And if

343
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: i'm if it's Bronco Nation Radio, it's like, well, maybe

344
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: we'll get him a year from now and by then

345
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: maybe von Miller's gone, you know that's right, or maybe

346
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: they draft some stud with the fifth pick overall and

347
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: at Aaron Rodger. I mean, I mean it interesting, it

348
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: sure is, but we're gonna take another break. He is

349
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Ali. You're listening to the drive

350
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: here on Steelers Nation Radio. We're gonna take a break.

351
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: Be right back after this your tunes about drive on

352
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Goals Steelers Nation Radio. So,

353
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: Matt Sunday, you have a chance to talk to Tarrell

354
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: Austin and the Steelings defensive back uh in regards to

355
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: what's going on in his position, and obviously a lot

356
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: of the the focus was on, you know, what's going

357
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: on at the slot cornerback and right now it's it's

358
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: Arthur Millette and Antoine Brooks rotating at the slot cornerback position.

359
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: Pretty bad, I'm gonna say, pivotal, not like his jobs

360
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: in Jeopardy, but Austin's got a lot of his plate

361
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, Essentially what they have is four guys

362
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: battling for one spot, because you know, Joe Hayden is

363
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: gonna be at one spot. You know that Cam Sutton

364
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: is going to be in another one. Yeah, those are

365
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: there's are they're gonna be in your top four. You

366
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: know that Edmunds in Fitzpatrick, Yeah, Edmunds and Fitzpatrick are

367
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: going to be in the starting world, you're four, You're

368
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: you're starting lineup in your base defense is set, right,

369
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: But that's only staffs, right, Yeah, I mean, so there's

370
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: there's still a spot or two that needs to shake out.

371
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: So the key here now is are they going to

372
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: want two play Lane or Pierre on the outside and

373
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: slide Sutton inside or do Millette or Brooks when the

374
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: starting slot job and then they can just leave Sutton

375
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: on the outside. And there will be times when you

376
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: play four corners, there'll be times when you go to

377
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: to dime defense where you you need What they need

378
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: to figure out. What they're figuring out right now is

379
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: if they have another capable slot cornerback on the roster,

380
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: if that guy wins the starting slot cornerback job, great,

381
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, ye, if he doesn't, he's your backup.

382
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: Sutton slides inside on passing downs and either Lane or

383
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: Pierre are playing on the outside. So in a way,

384
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: not only those four fighting for the slot job, but

385
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: they're also fighting Pierre and Lane though two correct because

386
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: even though they play completely different positions, they're both cbs,

387
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. They don't play the same way

388
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: at all. So really, I think what the ideal situation

389
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: and not what they're counting on, but how they've set

390
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: this up because a lot of people have been hard

391
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: on the Steelers. They didn't address corner enough. There's only

392
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: so many pictures you can make. You know, you can't

393
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: have everything. So what if only two of those guys

394
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: step up, you'd be in good shape? I mean, yeah,

395
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: if two of the four step up, you're fine, You're fine.

396
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: Or two of the six, right, you know what I mean.

397
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if Jane and Brooks are both good players,

398
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: you're in really good shape. You know that you have

399
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: you get your backup on the outside, you get your backup.

400
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: We're starting nickel and you can play all four once sometimes.

401
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: And Brooks has safety experience, you know. So I don't

402
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: think that's far fetched. It doesn't have to be those two.

403
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: It could be Pierre, it could you know. So what

404
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: if Lane or Pierre it's so good that they need

405
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: to see the field, you know, that'd be great because

406
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: then you're also looking at a Hayden replacement in time,

407
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: or you know what I mean. So you know the

408
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: big picture stuff. So I know those guys aren't all

409
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: huge household names, But if two of the six turned

410
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: into players, you know, guys that you know need to

411
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: be on the field. You're in a pretty good shape.

412
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: That's not asking much. I bring this up because the

413
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: Steelers released their first depth chart of the year over

414
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: the weekend, and people immediately freak out about it, like,

415
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: oh my god, this guy's listed over that guy, and yeah,

416
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. We talked about Kendrick Green early in

417
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: the show. He's listed as the backup center, yet he's

418
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: taking all the first team snaps. Yes, and once you

419
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: get into Nichols and things like that too. I mean,

420
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: some of these death starts don't even have them around

421
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: the league. This one does, and they list Brooks over Milette.

422
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: But again that's they're they're rotating daily. These are these

423
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: are battles. There's nothing is setting. This is written in

424
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: pencil to be sure, yea, And it was not done

425
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: I would almost guarantee it was not done by Mike Tomlins.

426
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: That's about to say too, that's funny, you took the

427
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: words out of mouth. Is some coaches care about that.

428
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: Some don't really care at all what ends up on

429
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: the official media depth chart, you know, I mean, and

430
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: and some manipulate it. You know, some move it around

431
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: to throw people off the same message within their own team,

432
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: or hey not, don't take any for granted, or boy,

433
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: this is a gift. You know. Kendrick Greene's earned it.

434
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: He gets to be the starter, and a lot of

435
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: coaches just have other better things to do. They don't

436
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: care about it. It's way too busy during training time. Um,

437
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: they're watching the tape of the competition of instead of

438
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: filling out at death chart. So the starters at wide

439
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: receiver listed? Is they list three? Deonte Johnson, Chase Claypolju

440
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster. No surprise there is it new? The teams

441
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: now list three receivers is a not I think a

442
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: lot of teams do now because so many teams played,

443
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: you know, thirteen personnel. Um, you know what I mean. Uh.

444
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: The offensive line is listed as from left to right,

445
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: chooks A core for Kevin Dotson, Chase Hawson, Howard right

446
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: now Trede Turner, Zack Banner, Kennrill green has obviously been

447
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: at center, but we haven't seen that line together yet.

448
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: On the field, guys have been in and out of

449
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: the line. You talked about earlier the last hour, how

450
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: the center situation was an issue obviously. Um, the only

451
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: guy who you fully expect opening or Hall of Fame

452
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: first snap for that to be the starting guards and

453
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: tackle with Green at center. No, I think they're gonna

454
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: play Dan Moore left tackle just to get him the experience. Um,

455
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean they like they came out with

456
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: the with the lineup for that first practice, and Mike

457
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: Tomlin was asked about that, and he's obviously asked a

458
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: lot about Kendrick Green there, and he said, just you know,

459
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: that's that's those are the guys we want to play

460
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame being they're gonna start the

461
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game. US Core four hasn't done much

462
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: thus far. They're kind of easing him into it. Kevin

463
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: Dotson hasn't done much thus far. They're, you know, kind

464
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: of easing him into it. Zach Banner practiced the first

465
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: day and hasn't practiced since. And I asked Tomlin about

466
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: that on Sunday and he said, well, when the pads

467
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: come on, you know, we're just kind of being cautious

468
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: with him. When the pads come on, you're gonna see

469
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: evaluate Lineman right now too. Yeah, they're not doing anything

470
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: and I think that you know, they wanted to get

471
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: some of these other guys, like Trey Turner has been

472
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: the one to stand next to them as they do

473
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: drills and listen to get take mental reps and probably

474
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: just as good off if especially for veterans, Turner has

475
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: been the one constant out there. Okay, and that might

476
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: be by his choice. Yeah, I mean, he he didn't

477
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: get any o t a s. You're trying to get

478
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: him as up the speed as much as possible. He said,

479
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: four practice going through it in the footwork. And that's why,

480
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, the people who were saying, well trade, I've

481
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: heard Trey Turner doesn't look good. He said, four practices, said,

482
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: four practices has a hit anybody. Yeah, unless he's falling

483
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: on his face and runs it, you know, pulls the

484
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: wrong way and everyone's ellen at let's how you evaluate, Yeah,

485
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: let's see how it looks. Ebron listened as the starter

486
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: tight end with pat pat Fire moves back, Gentry Kevin Raider,

487
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: Dax Raymond after him. I think, I mean, we've talked

488
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: about this a little bit, but I think it's interesting

489
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: there's a third tight end battle. Yeah, I mean those

490
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: three names are kind of interesting to me. You know,

491
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: it's put up or shut up time for Gentry Raiders,

492
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: a guy we've kind of like. And Raymond's not a throwaway, No,

493
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: he's been a guy that's stuck around on for a

494
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: few years now. The running back is listen, Naja Harris,

495
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: Benny Snell, Anthony McFarland, Jalen Samuel's at four and then

496
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: m Belage the new guy. I kind of hope it

497
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: goes Belage too in a way when it's said and done.

498
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean, actually, I hope it goes McFarland too, that

499
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: he gets regular care. I think he's going to be

500
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: regular on the field on game days, um and your

501
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: I would like to see Belage beat out Snell and

502
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: certainly Samuel's. For if Harris were out, who's the top

503
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: die see? I think you could see a mix of

504
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: Belige and Smell with McFarland sprinkled in. I don't think

505
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: Jaylen Samuels has a spot in this team. I don't either.

506
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: I don't either. I just there's nothing special there about it.

507
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: I'm not a Blige fan in all honesty, but I

508
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: do think he has some big, strong, fast, good receiver traits.

509
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's a very natural runner. Quarterback

510
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: is listed is Um Roethlisberger, Rudolph Haskins, Dobbs. Haskins over Dobbs.

511
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of interesting. Uh, I mean I

512
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: think that's it's but yeah, I think that's what you

513
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: would expect. Yeah, but Dobbs has been here. I just thought,

514
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: you know, to cover respect thing, he's also not been here.

515
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: He's also not been here, right, Um, you know he

516
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: was on the free agent market this year and nobody

517
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: else tried to sign him. I mean, I think there's

518
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: you could cut Josh Dobbs today and get him back

519
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: in November. I think I was thinking that too, Like, like,

520
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: if it's I'm sure we'll talk about it the final cuts.

521
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't make it and he's a free agent,

522
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: even after looking good in the preseason, I'm sure some

523
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Steeler fans will be up in arms, especially if he

524
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: outplays Haskins. But I don't think there's gonna be a

525
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: huge market for him. I don't think anybody's gonna be

526
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: grabbing him. On the defensive line, it's Hayward. These are

527
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: the defensive what they list as a defensive tackle. They

528
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: list to it is a defensive end, So a defensive tackle.

529
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: If Hayward Mandu, Isaiah louder Milk, louder Milk is a big,

530
00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: big dude, does he stand out? You know, I wasn't

531
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: sure about the I mean he looks. You stand him

532
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: next Hype from the Draftnicks and stuff, right, you stand

533
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: him next to man do Isaiah Bugs, Carlos Davis, some

534
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: of these other guys on the roster, even Chris Warmly,

535
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: he's he looks much more like Hayward and two it

536
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: than those guys dot the length and the you know,

537
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: the height and yeah, is he thick like them? Yeah?

538
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: I thought he might be more in a yeah, yeah,

539
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: even he's thick, younger Aaron Smith like, yeah, he's stick.

540
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: Is he thick? And so that was actually with the

541
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: long arms and the like, Okay, I see that. Yeah,

542
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: I see what they what they saw there in the

543
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: body type. Um and again it's it's kind of doesn't

544
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: make a big difference. But you know, because to it

545
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: and Hayward really aren't different than ones an end and

546
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: one's to tackle. I thought lower Milk would be with

547
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: the ends. Yeah, well, I mean he is, but he

548
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: isn't because Heywards, an end the defensive Yeah, and always

549
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: bothered me. They called those guys ends anyways, because they're

550
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: not on the end of the the line. There's outside linebackers

551
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: outside of him who also don't back the line, and

552
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: that bothers me. One thing we haven't seen yet to

553
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: it has been at practices, but he's not practiced yet.

554
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: He's still coming his his brother was killed in a

555
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: hit and run accident in the off season. Terrible. He's

556
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: still working his way back in the shape. I'm sure

557
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: there was you know, I'm sure there's no rush there.

558
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: There's no rush with that. They know what he is.

559
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: He was the one guy. If you remember when we

560
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: talked about this a couple of weeks ago about the

561
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: players who got the top players at each position. Was

562
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: the only other defensive tackle in the league who got

563
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: a vote? Oh yeah, it's number two, I think besides Donald.

564
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: Donald got all the first all the all the first

565
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: place votes except for one to it got that. Yeah,

566
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: a little alarming, but I mean he has that kind

567
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: of ability with question. Well, there were three players last

568
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: year in the a f C who had double digits

569
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: and sacks each double digits and sacks. It was what

570
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: it was Myles Garrett and to it. Yeah, I mean

571
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: one doesn't look like the other. Yeah. Um, quick question

572
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: for you and go back to the depth chart. But

573
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: you've mentioned all of these guys that haven't been playing

574
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: or been watching. I would think starting today and especially tomorrow,

575
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: you donna want to get those guys going get back

576
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: in there. Well, they're not gonna play to it aside. Yeah,

577
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: a lot of them are going to play in that

578
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: previous that the first preseason game. But yeah, you do

579
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: have to start ramping things up here for the second

580
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: preseason game. Yeah, definitely what you're lying up out there

581
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: for that one. The standing around getting mental reps is great,

582
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: but hey, we need to get this thing wrong. Yeah.

583
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: And outside linebacker left outside linebackers what Cassius mars Quincy Rotchet,

584
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: Jamar Watson. On the right side, it's Alex Highsmith, Melvin Ingram,

585
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: Jamir Jones. It sounds a lot better with that Ingram

586
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah. And Ingram can play either side. That's

587
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: the nice thing about that. He's played both sides. Um.

588
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: You see him stand up every once in a while.

589
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: You see them standing all those guys up really um,

590
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: and it will probably be a storyline. But I don't

591
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: think it'll matter at all in terms of usage. But

592
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: Ingram could maybe end up being the starter on that

593
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: piece of paper when it's said and done. You think

594
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: you just think I think they think they keep Ingram

595
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: when they signed him, and you know, well he didn't

596
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: say that, but high Smith is the guy that they

597
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: have under contract long term. I think they're doing wrong.

598
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: It's not like a shot to him, you know. I

599
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 1: just think I think Ingram is better used now at

600
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: thirty two for that fifteen to twenty snaps per game

601
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get out of here. But you think

602
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: he'll come off the left side too, Yeah, I think he'll.

603
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: He'll play both sides and and be the backup of both.

604
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: And there's there's value there. Oh, there's a lot of

605
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: value there. Yeah. At cornerback he got left cornerback he

606
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: got Joe Hayden justin Lane, DeMarcus A. C. Stephen Denmark

607
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: on the right side as Cam Sutton, James Pierre, Mark,

608
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: Gilbert Shaquire Brown. Okay, is Brown a guy that you

609
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: mentioned in that slot conversation? Remember you said there's four

610
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: or five of them? Is he not in that mix? Okay?

611
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be a true slot. They're

612
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: using Brooks and Milette there. That's who they list as

613
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: their nickel corners, their slots. Um Brown has not hasn't

614
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: been involved in that. I mean they get down to

615
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: third and fourth units. Yeah, right right, right right, But

616
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: he's listed on the outside right now. That's trocks me

617
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. It is what it is. It's a

618
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: safety position. I do find it interesting that they have

619
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: Lane listed behind Hayden in Pierre behind Sutton, because if

620
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: you make that move where Sutton, where Sutton goes inside,

621
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: does that mean Pierre's the the guy who steps in there? Yeah?

622
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean I think that has to be determined. I

623
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: mean I guess something that you have to watch is

624
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: just how many reps on the right is Lane taking?

625
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: Are they all on the left? Are they all on

626
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: the right? You know they mix it up a little bit. Yeah,

627
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure they do. Uh. It's safety and this is

628
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: one that people I have asked, who's the third safety.

629
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they have a third safety. I think

630
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: it depends on who who's not out there, because you

631
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: have make of Fitzpatrick of free safety behind with him

632
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: on him as Trey Norwood, So they think he's a

633
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: free Yeah, and then Donovan Steiner. Uh, it's strong safety

634
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: is Terrell Edmunds, Miles killerber Lamont Wade. I mean killerber

635
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: is clearly the backup strong safety. But if if something

636
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: happened to make a Fitzpatrick, I don't know that he

637
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: would automatically step into love and they wouldn't slide Terrell Edmonds,

638
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: I don't wouldn't think over to free safety. Um, they

639
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: would might go with Trey Norwood. Makes you brings me

640
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: back to MALIEK. Cooker a little bit. Well he's available.

641
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: Did he get with Dallas? Oh? I didn't know that. Okay,

642
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: I missed it over the weekend. Yeah, that's a little

643
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: There are guys like that available, they're free safeties. Well

644
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: he started, you know, fifteen games in the league, played

645
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, if they're good on special teams,

646
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: I'd consider it. Millie Cooker to me, can't stay healthy. Oh,

647
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure the medicals can't stay healthy. You know people

648
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: who wanted to sign him. I get it. He's a

649
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: name and coming out of school when he's a local guy.

650
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: But he's never played sixteen games in his career. Rear

651
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: no can't you can't stay healthy? No, I think, yeah,

652
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of a big deal. It is, but the

653
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: docs have to sign off on it. If they aren't

654
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: sign off on it, then you're not signing them, right. Um,

655
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: that's the depth chart. I don't read a whole lot

656
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: into it. I mean you can look at it and

657
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: twist yourself into you know, pretzels trying to figure out

658
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter until and what they don't have

659
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: there is truly how people would slot. If this guy

660
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: gets hurt, then this guy gets hurt, well, then we

661
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: move this guy from over the slot corner, you know

662
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: what I mean. And death starts are very linear, you know,

663
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: that's not how they're built. Yeah, so I'm sure the

664
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: one that that's in the coach's office looks different than

665
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: that one. And in their heads, yeah yeah, they talked

666
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: with the time. If this guy goes down, then who

667
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: do we plug in? Yeah, but that's gonna do it

668
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: for this segment. So he is Matt Williamson, I'm Dale Lally.

691
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: Chubb Jones deserves back in the first one back in

692
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: the first round. Now, the question for us is the

693
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: top two suggestions for US are Tyree killing Davante Adams. Okay,

694
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: I would take it back here. Well, the top backs available,

695
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: you're looking at Nausea, You're looking at Joe Mixing, Antonio Gibson, Nausea,

696
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: Harris l R. I'd like to get two of those guys.

697
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: I'd love to end up with mix It would be

698
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: my last choice. But Gibson, Hair Harris or if we

699
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: could get two of those guys, it would be very thrilled.

700
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: I think we take Harris here. I'm fine with it. Yeah. Yeah.

701
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: If we've had some people asking us to take Harris

702
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: in the fish round, this is the spot where you're doing.

703
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: So we take Nausea Harris in the first round. The

704
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: picks after us Tyreek killed Davante Adams. There go, um,

705
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: do you take or here or we're gonna have a

706
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: long wait here. Stefon Diggs is sitting there. I get it.

707
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: Diggs would probably be on my wide receiver one. Yeah,

708
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: I think that the volume is gonna be there I

709
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: would take Ekeler the running backs still left. You know

710
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm boring, but I go running back, running back, especially

711
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: late in the first all the time, and all of

712
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, acres isn't in the equation, you know, all right,

713
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's plenty and all respect to Diggs, And

714
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: then again, I think he's my wide receiver one A

715
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: lot of teams mad at us right now. Yeah, he

716
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: doubled down. We're back up at three eleven. See, here's

717
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: why I kind of wanted to see if we took

718
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: the wide receiver what would happen here, because this is

719
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: where Darrell Henderson is not slotting in at I think

720
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: he's still a little bit too cheap. Like if you

721
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: get him at three eleven, if after you after you

722
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: had taken say Stefon Diggs, like that's now you got

723
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: a nice it is. I actually almost brought that up

724
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: because he was even going the last time I did this.

725
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: I think he was going like mid fourth, right, He's

726
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 1: going to keep continue to move up the boards, could

727
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: be mid to early third, maybe even by the time

728
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: this is done, might be going in the second and

729
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: maybe maybe because the other backs available right now, our

730
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: Carson it's Carson Henderson, Miles Sanders, Miles Gaskon. Okay, yeah,

731
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: I still have hoped for Sanders, but I think Henderson's appealing,

732
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, and then you're looking at Kareem Hunt, so

733
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: you're the running backs are they're drying up? But I

734
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: think if we had gone wide receiver there, we might

735
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: have been probably would taken Henderson then. Right now, the

736
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers available, Mike Evans, Solid keen In, Allen, Seedee Lamb,

737
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: and Mary Cooper. The top guys available. Our top suggested

738
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: pick is Mike Evans. I think Evans and Alan are

739
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: super not sexy, but they're like on Hall of Fame

740
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: careers and put up yards every year. Guy. The other

741
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: guy would consider it would be Lamb. He's a little

742
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: risky for me, a little risky, but my good Put

743
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: it this way, I wouldn't be opposed. I wouldn't be

744
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: opposed taking Evans and hoping that Lamb falls with our

745
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: next pick, because we're gonna make a pick here and

746
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm perfect fine with that. Let's let's do it.

747
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: My only question would be Evans verse Alan, but I'm

748
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: perfect fine with Evans and Ceedee. Lamb was the next pick. Actually,

749
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: the next two picks were Seedee Lamb and Darrell Henderson,

750
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: the two guys that we talked to me. I mean

751
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: that's that worked out? Well? Yeah, yeah, So now we're

752
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: back up again here. The top suggested guys, Keenan Allen,

753
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: you're looking at the Marii Cooper, Mark Andrews, Kyler Murray,

754
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: any other tight ends of note. I'm assuming if we're

755
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 1: done to Andrews that well, Hawk since still there. Kyle

756
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: Pitts are still there. Allen's really good. I don't think

757
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: we've ever owned him. I think he's really boring, but

758
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: he produces every week every year, like clockwork. Julio Jones

759
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: also still available. Chris Godwin is still available, but we've

760
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: we've already got Mike Evans and a Marii Cooper. Are

761
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: the other guys that the running back position you're looking at,

762
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: Chris Carson, Miles Sanders, Miles Gaskon, Kareem Hunt. I think

763
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: i'd lean towards Allen. Al right, take Keenan Allen. We're

764
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: near grits. Yeah, Mike Evans, we haven't. We haven't ended

765
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: up with those guys. Okay, we are back up again

766
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: here it's starting to dry up a little bit. The

767
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: top suggested player for US is Odell Beckham, No, thank you.

768
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: The next guy is Russell Wilson, Miles Gaskin, Kareem Hunt.

769
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't like any of that. I don't love it.

770
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I've thinking about him over the weekend. He

771
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: seems like he's a He's just starts the next year

772
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: after the Kyler's and Allen's. That might be selling him

773
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: a little bit short. I'm a new offensive coordinator, still

774
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: throw a fair amount. The top quarterbacks available Russell Wilson,

775
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I think Wilson over Rock Justin Herbert, Tom Brady. Yeah,

776
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: probably get one with the next pick, though. Yeah, I'm

777
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna know any tight ends of Note Hawkinson or they

778
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: all go Dallas Goddard, no a Fan, Tyler Higbee, Robert Tonyan.

779
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: So we missed out on the tight end, not getting

780
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: great news that Earth is gonna leave. Either. The wide

781
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: receiver position is Odell Beckham, T Higgins, Deante Johnson, Chase Claypool.

782
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: I might take Deante. I think either Steeler over the

783
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: other two you mentioned. I think Deante catches a lot

784
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: of ball. I think so as well. Let's make the

785
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: pick Deante Johnson. Now we got two Steelers, we probably

786
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: can't take another oh in a pick right after us

787
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams and Russell Wilson. I would have considered Wilson.

788
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't think the other quarterbacks are worth. Williams would

789
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: have been interesting there too. Um the top running backs available,

790
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: we still haven't gotten our third running No should be

791
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: that one of these guys is not like the others though.

792
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin, Mike Davis, Kareem Hunt, Travis a t N,

793
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: I take a the N. The only the other one

794
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 1: I considered would be Mike Davis. I would not take Hans,

795
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: I would not take Hanna, would not take Gaskins. Let's

796
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: say either one is fine with me. Um A Gay

797
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: t N could hit bigger. Davis is pretty solid. I

798
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: think we know exactly what we're getting with Davis, kind

799
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: of like the Evans and Alan picks the other The

800
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: other thing about Davis is that he's going to be

801
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: there every dumb where. I don't know he's gonna get fifteen,

802
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: carries a game. I don't know the A t N

803
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: is gonna get fifteen. That's that's the beauty of them,

804
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: I think, and I think they'll catch a similar number

805
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: of passes. I'll bet on I mean have more big plays.

806
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: Who have more big plays? But I'll bet when you

807
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: look at it at the end they both seventy catches.

808
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: I think Davis is cool. Let's just and I know

809
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: he's going to be their short yard. He's probably hadn't

810
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: be in a short yard. They don't have anybody. They

811
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: have no competition for him at all. That mean doesn't

812
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they change between on the cheap big time. Alright,

813
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: so we're cruising down here now, we still don't have

814
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: a tight end at this point. I don't know that

815
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: that's yeah. I might take to kind of um. The

816
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: top backs available now, Damian Harris. That's interesting, that's interesting,

817
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, Chase Edmonds, Ronald Jones. The top suggestion, you

818
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: think Edmonds over Harris. The top suggestion for us is

819
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: now Robert Tonyan the Aaron Rodgers news that he's back.

820
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm not biting on Robert double daygit touchdowns again. That's

821
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: Roger's boy. Who the other tight ends? That's Roger's boy.

822
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: That's big. They don't have a real good number two RECEIVERO.

823
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: They don't. It's Tanyan Higbie, Logan Thomas, Mike get SICKI

824
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: m I would take Thomas over. I would take Logan

825
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: Thomas there too, But Tanyan's his value is gonna start again.

826
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: Let's take You wanna take Logan Thomas here? Do you

827
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: wanna wait? We could probably wait. Let me see what

828
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: else is available here. Let's see what the wide receiver

829
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: position is. But Jerry Judy, I love Judy, Robby Anderson,

830
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, Will Fuller one of those. Let's take a

831
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: shot on Judy and then hopefully this guy doesn't think

832
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: he gives us some up upside potential, like we don't

833
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: have the big I mean, Mike Evans is a is

834
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: a deep threat. Yeah, so this dude's gonna make two picks.

835
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: He took Damien Harris and Trey Sermon. Well, he's having

836
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: a good draft and somebody that would have considered in

837
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: this neighborhood too. He must he will he won't receiver

838
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,919
Speaker 1: receiver at the end of the first round. He's loading

839
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: up on backs. No, it's interesting strategies. It seems like

840
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 1: he's a good team. Um, you want to do Logan

841
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: Thomas Um, yeah, we'll take Logan Thomas here. We may

842
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: end up getting both of those guys who might get Tanya.

843
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: And we're cruising back down here and we're back up.

844
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: Don't have a quarterback. Robert Tanyan is still at this point,

845
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: we're around nine. The top guys available at quarterback, Ryan Tannehill,

846
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow, Matt Ryan They're all kind of

847
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: the same to me. But maybe we should take one

848
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: with our next probably get Probably should take two here,

849
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: just to be Stafford and Burrow. I'm looking at bye weeks.

850
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: Tanne Hills off in week thirteen, Stafford is off in

851
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: week eleven, Burrows off in week ten, so we can

852
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: take you wanna take Stafford here in Burrow with the

853
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: next pick. N't mind that staff up. I think staff

854
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 1: have a huge ar Yeah, runs a little too. We're

855
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: back up again. Do we take Burrow here? Yeah? I'm

856
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: fine with that. That way we're covered. If Burrows not

857
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: ready to start at the beginning of the season, then

858
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: he comes out and he's he's got receivers all over

859
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: the field. I think we'll have a top ten quarterback.

860
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if the top five one, but I

861
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: think what the top ten one? I agree. Okay, we're

862
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: up at eleven eleven here and the top running back

863
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: still available Philip Lindsay, Alexander Madison, name Hines, Tariko and

864
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: name Hines actually finished a belief second last year running back.

865
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean Rivers is the dump off the running back

866
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: champ of the world. I mean, Wentz won't do it

867
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: as much, but Hinz is going to eat into Taylor's

868
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: receptions heavy. He's useful, he's he's a flex. I mean,

869
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: he's never gonna win the league for your um. Just

870
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: looking at the other backs available here, but there's just

871
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: not much, just not much available. Although Giovanni Bernard is available. Yeah,

872
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: I think he. I think he'll be there receiving back

873
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: to I think you wait on that. I don't think

874
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: he's going anywhere anytime soon. They're kind of the same.

875
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 1: The receiver position is Aguilar, Gabriel Davis, Jalen reagor John Brown.

876
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't love any of that. Tight end. Robert Ton

877
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: is still there him. Let him move that camp battle

878
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: between the tight end, it's always good for We're back

879
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: up at twelve twelve here now, um, now, this is

880
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: our last one. We got our last position player. Now,

881
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: I think if you're going to take um one of

882
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: those receiving backs, maybe a shot at the receiving back.

883
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: I think, now you make not big on three quarterbacks,

884
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: But what about Lancer Fields the roster cloggers though, Yeah,

885
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: that's the one that I think you can make the move. Um.

886
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't think Fields will go this late in most drafts,

887
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: and we were gonna we do that trick a lot. Yeah,

888
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna go like he's a starter. I

889
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: think you just take you take to Vanni Bernard here.

890
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: Like Bernard, I'm absolutely fine with. Let's have been targeting

891
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: him all off season and we're moving down now to

892
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: round thirteen. Actually, got I'll pick left here now if

893
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: you want. So, if you want to take Justin Fields here,

894
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: we could be fine. I don't often take three quarters, No,

895
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: I don't like to. But his upsides really enticing to me.

896
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: And even lance late and now we take it. I

897
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of time, but I here's a

898
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: strategy I heard for quarterback that I really liked. Is

899
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin has a Cousins has a really outstanding first

900
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: six games of opponents soft as could be take fields

901
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: or Lands and cousins and you get those guys super cheap.

902
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: It's I think that's a really good idea. All right,

903
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: the defense is available Indianapolis, San Francisco, Buffalo, New England,

904
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: New England over San Francisco, Buffalo. Be my second choice.

905
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: You actually, okay, I'll take I will take New England here.

906
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: And now it's the kicker time. That's your specialty. Why

907
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: is that my specialty? Now? Because I don't want to

908
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: do it, you gotta have one. Although I wouldn't mind

909
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: getting a rule this year to just get rid of

910
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: the kicker all that. I've been pushing for that in

911
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: all my leagues and once in a while get them verified.

912
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: The top guy available, here's Rodrigo. Blanket chip is bye

913
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: week is in fourteen. He kicks indoors. He's the pen.

914
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: That's easy enough, all right. Oh, they didn't like our draft.

915
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: We got a D. Wow. We've been scoring well, lay

916
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: we got a D sixty six out of a hundred.

917
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: They may not look at Harris as a first round pick.

918
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Yates who hates our drafts every time games he

919
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: give us a fifty eight. That's a fail. That's a fail. Right.

920
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: We got a C from Dan Harris seventy out of

921
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: a hundred. Mike Techleieri gave us a sixty nine out

922
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: of a hundred. Joe to Sapia gave us a C

923
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: minus seventy out of a hundred. UM, just looking here,

924
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: we liked what was going on. I wonder if they

925
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: just didn't like Harris as a high pick team. Team

926
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: twelve took Tyreek Hill, Davante Adam, Ceedee Lamb with the

927
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: first three picks, came back with Darryl Henderson. There's Javante Williams,

928
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: Damian Harris, Trey Sermon. That needs two of those four

929
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: to hit. Yeah, Week one could be rough. His receivers

930
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: are obviously his tight ends are IRV Smith and Tyler Higbee.

931
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: That's not ideal. That wouldn't mind Wilson. Yeah, so interesting draft. UM,

932
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: there were four five teams that took running backs. Running

933
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: back as we did. UH was Derrick Henry, Clyde, Edwards

934
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 1: Hilaire into two spots. Seventh spot was Barkley and Jacobs.

935
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: The eight spot was Ezekiel Ezekiel, Elliott and Antonio Gibson. UH.

936
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: The ten spot was Chubb and Mixon. We took Harris

937
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: and Ekeler. I'd rather of R two than any of

938
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: those other parents. Yeah, yeah, I think got it was

939
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: gonna be. I mean, Evans, Keenan, Allen, Deante Johnson, not

940
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: real sexy, but consistent. I know what the productions right,

941
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't hate the team. I don't

942
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, I mean we don't have the upside

943
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: that we've had with some of our other teams that

944
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: we've drafted. But that is going to do it for

945
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: the Fantasy football focus and this show. So former partner

946
