1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: M hmm. Welcome to the drive. I'm Dale Alli here

2
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: with Matt Williams, and we are not high above the

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: practice field here at St. Fencing College, but we are

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: above it and a nice spot where we can see

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: everything that has It's absolutely the case. Uh. We're here

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: for Tuesday, Uh, the second day of padded practices here

7
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the mat As I noted

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: when we came over here, Um, a certain wide receiver

9
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: putting on the pads today and has some football spikes

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: on today which he did not necessarily have. Well, I'm

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: sure we'll get to a lot of things contractually around

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: the league and suspensions, and you know, it's sort of

13
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: feels like Deonte might be next, you know, I mean,

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: in terms of this news cycle around the league, Um

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Boswell gets locked up. You kind of made that point

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: to me off the air that maybe he was the

17
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: first domino. Get that out of the way. They always

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: seemed to correct me if I'm wrong, but they seemed

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: to really concentrate on one big contract at a time

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: and then hey, your second in line, your third in line, whatever.

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to look too much into it just

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: because he's got pads and spikes on, but that he

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: is still in shorts. Yes, not football pants, but that's

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: not necessarily Um, it's not groundbreaking. A lot of receivers do.

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: That's all right, so encouraging and um, you know Omar

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: Con spoke this morning brought it up as well, or

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: was asked about it. I haven't heard that yet. I'm

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: sure we'll revisit that as well. Says a lot. Let's

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: really a lot of play teutonics of moves since we

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: got We were here twenty four hours ago around the league.

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: A couple of things in Miami and obviously in Cleveland

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: we talked about that's not done. A couple of things

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: around here too, So good stuff. We've got a great,

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: great crew, awesome day. So another awesome day. Camp lined

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: up for us absolutely now and where would you rather be? Them?

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: Right here? Right now? Man nowhere nowhere? Um so, uh,

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Steelers getting ready to kick off this practice. He just

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: heard the horn. There there's the gun. Um that was

39
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: a famous uh West Berlin County line. Actually there's a

40
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: radio broadcast route here and and uh that happened. He said,

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: there's the gun. It was the horn. Uh yeah, it

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: looks like no Najia Harris practicing today, No, Pat Friar

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: muth uh Deante Johnson just came over and got his helmet,

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: so we'll see what he does today. I should have

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: looked this earlier, but because Clay pull back, I just

46
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: saw him jogging across. Doesn't look like he's practicing. Uh okay.

47
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: So basically, if you're looking at who there who, they're

48
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: top guys are. You know, we we've talked a fair

49
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: amount about Anthony Miller since we've been here. I think

50
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: he's been really impressive. The two drafted wide receivers. Obviously,

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: there's some tight end depth here that's starting to emerge

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: as well. And Sternberger is very interesting to me. No

53
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: guarantee he makes a team or what his deal is,

54
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: but I think he does some good stuff. And you know,

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: they they picked up McNichols. But all of a sudden,

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: this running back room is pretty light right now. But

57
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: the two undrafted free agent rookies to me, are more

58
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: of a story. It should be more of a storyline

59
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: than maybe people realize. I mean, I think there might

60
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: be something there with that. Yeah you're talking about the

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: running backs, correct? Yeah? That yeah? That said yeah yeah,

62
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: um Yeah, those guys I would think are going to

63
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of run in the games, uh starting

64
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: here next week, and I would think that, uh, well,

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: fans will have a favorite there. It's it's the early

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: front runner has been Mateo Durant, but it's been Jalen

67
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: Warren who's running ahead of Duranta's. They gave Durrant more

68
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: money than Warren, they did a little more sought after

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: coming out of college. But but he mentioned backs on backers,

70
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, uh, Warren was the better player there. Uh,

71
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: he's flashed. I mean they're both a flashed And there's

72
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: definitely an opportunity for if you looking on the league.

73
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean, where's a better chance for an undrafted free

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: agent rookie to make the running back you know, rotation

75
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: than here? Yeah. Um, some uh bad stuff happening around

76
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: the league. The Steelers have avoided this thus far. Tim

77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Patrick carted off today. Tristan Worf's carted off today. Wow,

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean the Bucks oh line, I mean the two

79
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: most invaluable Bucks lineman Bryan Jensen now and then Tristan

80
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: Worf's Tom Brady may be reconsidering that retirement. Uh. You

81
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: know what, guys, the second thought, I'm good. I mean

82
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: that's high on the list of non Brady Bucks to lose. Yeah,

83
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: I mean, Wharfs to me is a total superstar and

84
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: Jensen was the leader. Um, I was just clicking on

85
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: my phone and the app that I was using it

86
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: was not acting right. But there might be some IRV

87
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: Smith news too. Did you say something about anything about that? Okay,

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna snoop around a little bit, but I the

89
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: headline popped up quickly on my phone and something about

90
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: a thumb. But I'm gonna look at them more into that.

91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: Looks like quintet ce fist with the Lions. Also, U

92
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: hurt his leg today, so boy, that worfs one Jordan's

93
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: boyer having an m r I for his elbow injury.

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean there's some guys out there getting a little

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: nicked up here. Yeah, I mean, as is a case here.

96
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: You know, like if one of those dudes has any

97
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: kind of nick you're not gonna hear from them again.

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: You know, like they get bubble wrapped. So it's hard

99
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: to get information unless it's bad, bad and one of

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: these dudes is out for a while or the season

101
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: or you know, a Jensen situation worse would be catastrophicast

102
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: You're not replacing that guy. Know who was the other one?

103
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: He said to lead things off there, there was another

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: Kim Patrick. They they gave him money. Yeah, he was

105
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: making real money. You could argue that he's almost as

106
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: valuable as Judy or Sutton. He's been more reliable. You know.

107
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: He's a big power slot guy that fans are out

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: here with love Tim Patricks, they had him. He's just

109
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: a fan favorite, tough guy. A lot to like about

110
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: his style play, and I guess Hammler is healthyer thinking

111
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: who's who could step up him? And he's he seems

112
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: to be practicing, which was a little bit of a shock.

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: So man, a lot of luck going on here in

114
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours. Yeah. Absolutely, not to mention

115
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 1: the fact that this Stephen Ross situation, uh, the league

116
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: coming out. Yeah, he was suspended for tampering with Sean

117
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: Payton and Tom Brady. Stephen Ross, of course, the owner

118
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: of the Miami Dolphins. UM some interesting stuff in there.

119
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: He gets suspended the first six weeks of the two

120
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: season for tampering with former Saints coach Sean Payton and

121
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. That's the same suspension that the

122
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson got. I might he also got to find

123
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: a lot of money, and they got docked first round

124
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: draft picks. Volume Yeah, um, they stripped is a first

125
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: round pick in three, a third round selection in four.

126
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: He is barred from the team's facility, and through October seventeen,

127
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: he cannot represent the club at any team event. He's

128
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: also barred from league meetings before marche which was next year,

129
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: and he was fined one point five million dollars, which

130
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: is probably the smallest of all the consequences for him,

131
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: is the one point five ye But luckily for Miami

132
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: they have the Niners first round pick next year as well,

133
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: they won't be trading for a quarter. But the whole

134
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: plan was, let's stockpile future picks until you know, we

135
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: know more about two. Uh. Either we have him in

136
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: our back pocket and their later picks because we're doing well,

137
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: or he's not working out and we need the package.

138
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: He's up to go get a guy. And what a

139
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: lot of people think is a really good quarterback draft,

140
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: well that full philosophy now gets screwed up. I mean

141
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: to say the least I mean, you'd really have to

142
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: give up a lot to you know, to move around

143
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: in that fashion if you're don't have your own. So

144
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: there's only thirty one first round picks. I guess next year. Um,

145
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: there's only the only time I remember that is the

146
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: Flate gate. Yea, you know the Patriots got I think

147
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: that happened at the Broncos. I want to say back

148
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: in the uh they were they were called circumventing the

149
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: salary cap okay back in six or something like that,

150
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: and they had to foe first round draft pick for

151
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: giving guy money kind of under the table. So we

152
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: talked about this on my podcast. We recorded that at

153
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: noon today. This information came out like right before that,

154
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: and I hadn't seen anything on tanking, you know, the

155
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: Flores stuff, But at that point it was tampering with

156
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, presumably to make them their head coach as

157
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: Flora's replacement. And Tom Brady, well do they mention a

158
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: guy named beal in here, he's kind of the right

159
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: hand man. He got suspended as well. He also got

160
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: hit fine. Yes, and Brady has been linked to Miami

161
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: now for like three or four years, and it's because

162
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: of this beal character. Him and Brady are like best buds,

163
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: like when they they go to Kentucky Derby together, their

164
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: inner circle friends of Brady, And there's been a lot

165
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: of talk, you know, that Brady is going to end

166
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: up in Miami as a front office guy, own or

167
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: quarterback whatever, and none of that has come to fruition.

168
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: And part of that was even speculated. That's why he

169
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: retired for a while. Or the Bell may even step

170
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: up and be the top owner here before long. But

171
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: these guys are under a massive microscope down there now.

172
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: Like yeah, um, And in terms of the you mentioned

173
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: the Brian floor stuff, the tanking stuff, the league says

174
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: there's no evidence that that he didn't. They're saying that

175
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: that the Ross did not violate the tanking rules. I said, nonetheless,

176
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: Ross made comments that could have been interpreted that way.

177
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: And but that Brian Floors coached to win even though

178
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: his boss suggested that he shouldn't and did and then

179
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: got fired for it. Um. You know, so they were

180
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: owing seven at one point to start off at season.

181
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: If you remember, they traded their starting left tackle, yes

182
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: to Tonsil, then they traded making Fitzpatrick uh and then

183
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: they pursued, Yeah, exactly. They threw in Kenny Stills too

184
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: and that yeah, basically get him out of here. Um. Yeah,

185
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: so they looked like they were getting rid of anybody

186
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: who could help them win. But then they finished five

187
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: and eleven that year after knowing seven start, and not

188
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: only did not earn the first overall pick and end

189
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: up tanking for Tuah, they ended up to as a

190
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: consolation prize, which I think the fourth or fifth pick

191
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: in the draft instead of Herbert who was still on

192
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: the board. So like, none of this has gone to

193
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: plan for Miami. One of the many reasons I think

194
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: tanking in this league is a terrible idea because great

195
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: competitive players like Making Fitzpatrick or great competitive coaches like

196
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: Flores say, this is crap. I want out of here,

197
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm looking to go out

198
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: there and lose and and you know, and then all

199
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: of a sudden might might because my record, yeah, my

200
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: resume professional, you know, professional to win games. That's what

201
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: I want to do, and that's what I'm gonna try

202
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: to do. So some art organizations like the Steelers say

203
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: we'll take both those guys, right, We'll take you both off.

204
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: Here is one cost first round pick, the other one

205
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: costs nothing, and I'm sure they'll contribute a great deal

206
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: right year. Yeah. Um, So we'll see where this goes

207
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: in terms of the overall impact on on Brian Flores's

208
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: uh um, you know, and those kind of things. But

209
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: but certainly that the it's some information there in the

210
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: league coming down hard on one of its owners. Yeah,

211
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: and I guess that could bring us to the Browns

212
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: a little bit too, like they're not afraid to discipline

213
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: one of their own when they find them out of line.

214
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: And um, I know we've already talked some Watson, but

215
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: letting this marinate twenty four hours since we got together,

216
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way it's gonna be six games. No, No,

217
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: I think that there's the public outcry on this um

218
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: from everybody from from women's rights groups to basically just

219
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: anybody who has any common sense has been the other

220
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: thirty one out, We'll make a thirty one suspended. He's

221
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: got no saying this all right? They look I bet

222
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: they're not thrilled with how this has gone, how it

223
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: looks with for the league. The finds that the Shawan

224
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: is actually gonna have to pay which are like nothing.

225
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna change dramatically. I don't know

226
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: if I'll go to a year, but I bet it's

227
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: at least eight games. I you know, I brought up

228
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: some you know, the points of way. You know, if

229
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: it does, if it's not a year that actually hurts

230
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: the Browns worse in a lot of ways, yes, like

231
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: you commit it, like Roger Goodell co come out and

232
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: say it's gonna be ten to twelve. Get ten or

233
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: twelve games. That might be the worst for that and

234
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: that would be the worst possible outcome for the Cleveland Browns,

235
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: assuming they can't weather that storm and make the playoffs,

236
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: which I don't think they can't. I mean, if you're

237
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: missing ten or twelve, I don't think you can make

238
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean it's six, I think you could eight,

239
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: you maybe could. I mean, you're any bounces either way,

240
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: and he's have to come back with a superstar, which

241
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure he will be, you know. Like

242
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: it's funny. I was looking at their schedule this morning,

243
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: and the first six games I think we went over,

244
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: and then the next two are at Baltimore host the Bengals,

245
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: and then there's a bye. I can't imagine Watson is

246
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: going to be a good player before or the buy no,

247
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he hasn't played in a year

248
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: and a half and that takes you through eight games,

249
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: and you know you have four and four at that point,

250
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: or you know, if you're lucky, are you if you're

251
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: three and five? Are you dead in the water? And

252
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: what's I mean everybody's saying the a f C is loaded? Um,

253
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, so it is DISI and the division is loaded,

254
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: so um real quick. I think we mentioned yesterday when

255
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: to reiterate in case people didn't hear. And the more

256
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: I think about it, I think it's a big deal.

257
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: Is of those six games that he is not going

258
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: to play dundeel, we know that four of them are

259
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Yes, so that's half of their home schedule

260
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: was already used up on Burssett and it's hard enough

261
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: to win on the road. But my hunts just a little.

262
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: I know where you're going with this. I don't think

263
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: the other fans are going to be super kind to

264
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: Mr Watson when he visits their town. I mean, he's

265
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: not going to be the usual guest quarterback that gets

266
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: a boo here and there. You know, I mean, it's

267
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna be tough, and he's gonna be rusty athletically. If

268
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: anyone can we COMMEDIESI to the top of the list.

269
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: But that's a lot to overcome. It is a lot

270
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: to overcome. And as I mentioned, for people wondering, well,

271
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: why Deale would would just not having him for the

272
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: full season this year, or him being out ten to

273
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: twelve games and then being available for next year, why

274
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: would that help the Browns instead of spending If he's

275
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: suspended for the year, the Browns can toll that contract,

276
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: which this year's nine point six million dollars. They just

277
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: push it down the road like they like you did,

278
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: like you didn't sign. They signed it next year if

279
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: they suspend him and they can't toll the contract and

280
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: he played actually play some games this year. Now he

281
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: counts fifty five million against the next year, and they're

282
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: thirty two million dollars over the cap next year, and

283
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: that's with only fifty two players signed right now. They

284
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: have a ton of cap space this year, which I

285
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: find odd, and they can roll some over or whatever.

286
00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: But there again, their windows two million dollars with bit

287
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: pretty much no matter what. And maybe he hadn't barely

288
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: even played a game for he may have played your

289
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: last four or whatever. He spent a whole bunch of

290
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: money to have him, and you get him for like,

291
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, let's say four to six games, and you know,

292
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: the first runpick, no first rundpick, You're gonna have to

293
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: cut some quality starters. Yeah, I mean, I think an

294
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: offensive lineman or two Amari Cooper. I can't see like

295
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: a Gadavian Clowney being on the team next year. So

296
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: the windows closing very quickly, which is how they set

297
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: it up. And I think what happened in their meetings

298
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: when they signed Watson, and maybe I'm just you know,

299
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: it just feels kind of sleazy and like you need

300
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: a shower after that conversation. But it's basically, he didn't

301
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: get suspended. If it's only six games, folks, we can

302
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: handle it. And I think they're sitting there going, well,

303
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: we got what we wanted, but we don't really care

304
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: if he's guilty or not, or what he did off

305
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: the field. We can handle that. It'll go away in

306
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: some time and we'll just be happy if it's six

307
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: And I don't think the other thirty not thirty one. Uh,

308
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: owners are cool with that all, you know, because the

309
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: next guy is gonna do the next teams that is,

310
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: something else is gonna come up, and they're gonna say,

311
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: if it's only six games, I'll sign this guy, or

312
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: I'll draft this dude, or you know. And I think

313
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: that's the precedent. The league does not want, absolutely not.

314
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I also get the the argument out to the league,

315
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: the league doesn't want they don't want these headlines lingering

316
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: out there. I get that. But right is right. But

317
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: right is right? Yea. And things have changed a lot

318
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: in this department the last one year, five years, ten years.

319
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's like some of the the precedent stuff

320
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: doesn't really apply anymore either. You know, he's such a

321
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: unique case too. But I mean the precedents that they're

322
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: bringing up were one incident, you know, one issue. Yeah,

323
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: this is this is multiple, multiple issues. And then you

324
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: know the judges only said, well, this wasn't a violent thing.

325
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't care. Doesn't make it right, doesn't make it Yeah,

326
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you're condoned by the NFL or you know,

327
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: fitting under their their policy. Absolutely not. But uh yeah,

328
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: um Omar Khan spoke to the media today, first time

329
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: today that he has has spoken to the media. Um, Brian,

330
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: do we have that audio from that? Okay, al right, okay,

331
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: so we don't have the audio that. Maybe we'll play

332
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: that back in the last hour of the show. Um.

333
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: He had some interesting things to say about well, Deante

334
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: Johnson getting the Chris Boswell contract one, lots of stuff about.

335
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: He was asking several questions about the roster and things

336
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: of that nature. Hopefully we can play that back for

337

358
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: Princent College watching the Steelers do go through some team

359
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: position drills here and Matt I referenced the Omar Khan

360
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: interview from today. We'll play that back in the final

361
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: hour of the show and its entirety, but I did

362
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: want to note that he said that looks like makea

363
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick could be very close to returning. Uh, same for

364
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: Larry Ogan, Joe Be, same for Tyson and Lulu. Yeah. Good,

365
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: And we're not particularly worried about Friar Muth to Claypool

366
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: or not. Those were there, so um some bumps and

367
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: bus you know, early camp bumps and bruises that probably

368
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: would not have prohibited them from you know, regular season

369
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: action as well. I think all this stuff and yeah,

370
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: just be precautionary. Very long season. This is a marathon,

371
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: not a sprint. You know, make sure you get the

372
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: finish line. Yeah. In fact, he said he's asked specifically

373
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 1: about Ogan Joe if this was a setback or if

374
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: this was what they kind of expected to do with him,

375
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: and he said, look, we we we got a long

376
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: season here. Um, you know, we we knew Larry's ready

377
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: to go, Larry wants to go. We're just kind of

378
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: holding them back a little bit. They knew what they

379
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: were getting into in the in that contract. It was yeah,

380
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, totally over the hump. But no nausea Harris today,

381
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: No pat fire muth, no Chase Claypool. Deante Johnson is

382
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: doing a little bit more today. Um, but is even

383
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: standing out there catching swinging passes as speak. Yeah, that's

384
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: not a contributing Yeah, he just got his footstepped on.

385
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: According to Mike Tomlin, what we haven't talked about the

386
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: Chris Boswell contract. Yeah, I didn't get a chance to

387
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: talk about that on our show yesterday. Obviously that happened

388
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: after we went off the air, But it just so happened.

389
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: I was writing about Chris Boswell for Monday and I

390
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: so I had talked to him and I had to

391
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: change some stuff around him. But a lot of what

392
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: he talked about. Yeah, he's now. Uh it's a four year,

393
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: twenty million dollar deal total package of new money. Uh

394
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: so with five year deal, it's it's a three point

395
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: or twenty three point something or other a million dollars.

396
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: But the new deal, the new money matches justin Tucker

397
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: as the highest paid kicker in the league. I would imagine, Uh,

398
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: Tucker's I don't know what Tucker's contracts when he signed

399
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: that deal. Yeah, or Bucker or whoever next, that's one

400
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: of the top guys. And I don't pay a whole

401
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: lot of kicker attention anyway. Um yeah, but Bobs is

402
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: locked up for next han full of years. That's great.

403
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: Those guys don't age quickly. He's absolutely proven to be

404
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: worth every penny. You know. I don't know how many

405
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: times we bring up a year about the have nots

406
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: at the kicker position across the league. It's a brutal,

407
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: brutal place to be. You're hoping to find a diamond

408
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: in the rough, and that rarely happens, so I fully

409
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: condone it. I mean, he's been an instrumental, instrumental part

410
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: of this team for a while, and who knows, I

411
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: mean maybe two years abow it looks like a bargain

412
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: just the way the caps are going up. I mean, well,

413
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: it's not like any other position. We saw wide receiver

414
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: spending go through the roof this year. I don't know

415
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: kicker spending is about to do that, but I bet

416
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: the good guys do pretty well, and he won't be

417
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: you know, he'll he'll bring a bargain three or four

418
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: years on the road at the end of that contrent. Yeah,

419
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: we're not close to seeing a ten million dollar kickers.

420
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: But um, the Steelers now have a guy who's the

421
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: highest paid kicker in the league, the highest paid outside

422
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: linebacker Adge Rusher, and the highest paid safety. Um they're

423
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: spending on on their guys now. I don't you know,

424
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: if they do happen to do something with Deante Johnson,

425
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: he's not going to be the highest paid wide receiver. UM.

426
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: But I think that's why you know, when you look

427
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: at it, Um, that's what makes it Deonte Johnson things

428
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: so so different from those other two. Like they know

429
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: Chris Boswell is one of the one of the best,

430
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: if not the best. And there's a little risk there, right, Yeah,

431
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna come through. Would I mean other

432
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: positions you could have a severe injury or again change,

433
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: you know. I mean that's why you know Boswell is

434
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: not doing a hold in here, you know, right right

435
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: right right? And even if he was, who would notice? Um?

436
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: But with with Deonte uh you know again, I went

437
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: just I just wrote about this. I went through the

438
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: stats again, most receptions of any receiver into two thousand

439
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: nineteen draft class, and it's not close. He's got like

440
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: he's got like thirty more receptions than anybody else in

441
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: that draft class. You know, by the way, had Mason

442
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: Rudolphin Duck Hodges as his quarterback in his rookie year.

443
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: So uh, there's that productions. He's fourth in touch downs,

444
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: fourth and yardage in that in that that that group

445
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: and use as well. It's just that draft you're talking

446
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: to A J. Brown, DK Metcalf, Terry McLaurin. Who else

447
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: am I missing? YEA Deebo, Samuel Marquis Brown, Mars Brown

448
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: that year. I mean they two guys were unbelievable, unbelievable,

449
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: And he is in the top five and everything in

450
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: that group, including leading them in receptions. And again, as

451
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: I said, it's not close, uh in terms of the receptions.

452
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: So he's also been an All Pro as a return man.

453
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: He's also been to a Pro Bowl last year. Uh.

454
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: So you know I can see if if I'm his agent,

455
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: Bradley Sequela, Um, you know I it's gonna be in

456
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: the neighborhood of that. Yeah, that's just the reality of

457
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: the situation. And Omar Han saying today that look is

458
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: this is the salary cap continues to go up, and

459
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: it went up twenty million dollars this year from where

460
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: it was last year. It's all relevant. Yeah, it's all relevant.

461
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean you can say I'm not I wouldn't pay

462
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: a receiver twenty million dollars. Twenty million dollars for a

463
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: receiver now three years from I was a bargain. Yeah,

464
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a thirty million dollar receiver in two years.

465
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: There probably will be. I mean, when Jamaar Chase comes up,

466
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 1: Justine Jefferson one of those guys. So they're gonna get

467
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: substantially more than what a j Brown got you know it,

468
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: because be a couple of years later, Caps will be

469
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: through the roof. Um, I'm not comparing him to Mahomes,

470
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: but it was not long ago, folks when Mahomes signed

471
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: that huge deal that everyone's like, wow, I know he's great,

472
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: but that's too much. Now he's cheap. Yeah, right, what

473
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean, like, what a bargain that is. It's a

474
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: it's a year or two where it's a little bit

475
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: of a teeth clencher, as he's worth it or not.

476
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: And then the league goes right past you. Um, it's

477
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: funny you mentioned that group from his draft class. They

478
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: all had big news this offseason. W he's Brown gets traded,

479
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: but he's the only first rounder of the group, so

480
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,239
Speaker 1: they didn't have to extend him. They could just pick

481
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: up the option go from there by themselves. A year

482
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: A J. Brown gets traded, gets a massive deal. Metcalfe

483
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: Deebo were both quote on the block, unhappy, who knows

484
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: if there was ever any talks whatever, and then in

485
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: the last week they both got big contracts. So sure

486
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: seems to me that Deante is next in some regard,

487
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's his turn. Yeah, you would

488
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: think so, and I mean, you know, if you look

489
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: at that, Um, I'm calling up that NFL draft here,

490
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: it's such a deep class. And I get it. I

491
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: get the people who say, well, they've done such a

492
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: good job in drafting wide receivers and all that stuff.

493
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some Andy Isabella's and Arthega white sides

494
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: in that class that weren't exactly home run. They put

495
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: it this way, there are four guys in that draft

496
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: class who have more than two hundred receptions. He has

497
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: two fifty four. The next closest guys to twenty two.

498
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: That McLaren next, that's McLaurin is next. Um, the sixty

499
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: four yards as I said, his fourth, umme back, that's

500
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: more than deep o Samuel. That's more than Marquess Brown,

501
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfroze in that draft CLU Yeah, uh, he's one

502
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: of the guys with more than two hundred catches. Um,

503
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: he's gotta forget from that class. Yeah, Darius Slayton was

504
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: in that draft class. Uh yeah, McCole Harman in that

505
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: draft class or might not be, Yeah, but who knows. Um,

506
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the guys here who have over

507
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: a hundred receptions in that draft class. I mean you're

508
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 1: you're like, there's like fifteen and twenty of them. Um,

509
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: that's just three years. But it's you know, A J. Brown,

510
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: I know a fan was in that class. T J.

511
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: Hawkinson in that class. David Montgomery has a duh. But

512
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: you look at the wide receivers and he you know,

513
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: you to kill Harry was also in that class. Let's

514
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: not forget he was the other first Brown. And I

515
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: don't you know, I I don't want to say anybody

516
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: I thought that was I don't I didn't love to

517
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: kill Harry coming I wasn't the first round pick. Yeah right,

518
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: That's that's where I was going with that, Like people

519
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: didn't bad and I when to kill Harry went first

520
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: in the first round. Fifty seven catches in three years

521
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: and traded. Yeah. Um, there was you know a lot

522
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: of receivers taken in that in that draft, and you

523
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: know guys like Paris Campbell, dude, still he's flash, He's

524
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: just never been on the field thirty four catches. Miles

525
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: Boykin was in that class. He has thirty three catches.

526
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: You know, at some point you have to you have

527
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: to do have to reward your guys. I'm playing well,

528
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: you you're saying everything was in that class, and it

529
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: was a really good class. But it's been a good

530
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: one since too. I mean just in Jefferson class and

531
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: you know this this last one that came up. But

532
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: but what's becoming a trend is it really was apparent

533
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: this year with the Saints and the Lions trading up

534
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: in the first round for receivers, not just waiting for

535
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: we'll get our guy in the third round like a

536
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: McLaurin or a Johnson, or we can get DK Metcalf

537
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: with the last pick of the second round. Like that

538
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: isn't going to happen again, folks. You know, do you

539
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: remember I think Deante Johnson was the tent or eleventh

540
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: receiver taken in that the first second pick of the

541
00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: third round, right after Metcalf. Yeah, so I get it, um,

542
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, you can find receivers. It's the same

543
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: argument we had a boy running backs. Yeah, you can

544
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: find running backs in later rounds. But that doesn't mean

545
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: that's what teams necessarily want to wait and do, especially

546
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: if you don't have one. See I mean again, wide receivers,

547
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: there is a great supply. I think they'll continue to

548
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: be a great supply. The way these kids learned now

549
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: at the receiver position is year round passing camps, skeleton

550
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: seven on seven, So they come into league more more

551
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: ready than ever. But the demands greater than ever two.

552
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: I mean the supply has gone, has been constant and

553
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: maybe even keeps going up, but the demand is greater

554
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: than ever two. I mean, because everybody's running three receiver

555
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: sets and you can't just try have two good ones

556
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: on your team. No, I mean with all you can't

557
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: just have swanted stalls. I mean you need four and

558
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: maybe four with a tight end that are real difference makers.

559
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: So you know, the league is realizing this has become

560
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: a passing league. These guys are absolute difference maker. So

561
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: I I believe that you could be fine with the

562
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: theory of draft one on Day two every year and

563
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: don't pay a guy if you're paying a quarterback a

564
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: bazillion dollars to you know, and they can make those

565
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: dudes better. But that's a slippery slope, and I think

566
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: where this team's at, paying Deonte is the right move.

567
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: I think it is too. It's just a better you know,

568
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: how high do you want to go? Do you want

569
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: to go? To twenty three million, like those other guys

570
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: got you can't you could get him at less. You

571
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: can do the language of that, however you want to

572
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: do it to make it, to make it give the

573
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: appearance that it's something like that. It's not quite that

574
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be in that neighborhood. But I mean, I'm

575
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: thinking it's eighteen nineteen when it's all said and done

576
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: something like that. But you know, I the people What

577
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: what bothers me is the people who who then rip

578
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson, Well he you know, he dropped this and

579
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: he did that, or he's not that good. Come on, man, alright, alright,

580
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: come on, take a look at the numbers and tell

581
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: me he's not that good. Uh, take him off of

582
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: this roster. And I know George Pickens and Calvin Ozz

583
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: then we talked about Anthony Johnson and these guys out

584
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: here very promising. Is gonnaboutch Anthony Johnson hold one in

585
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: there or Anthony Miller? I should say, um, But the

586
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: reality is none of them are are Deonte Johnson at

587
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: this point? And Clay Pool's next. You know, he's the

588
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: second oldest guy in the group. Basically, do we know

589
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: that he's a keeper. You know, we don't. That's the

590
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: whole thing, right when you WinCE you rather like that?

591
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 1: Wo'd you like to have Deonte Johnson right now? And

592
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: if George Pickens becomes what you think George Pickens can

593
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: become that, now he's your number one and and okay,

594
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: and your receiver room is and he's still cheap. Yeah,

595
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: Claypool moves on and to get a compic for him

596
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: or whatever. Or The great thing about that the way

597
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: they these these latest deals have been structured. They're all

598
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: three year deals for Metcalfe and McLaurin and and these guys.

599
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: So if you say, if you do this right, okay,

600
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: so you got John Deonte Johnson. Now by the time

601
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: George Pickens is looking for a contract point, it matches

602
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: up well in terms of that. Yeah, that makes a

603
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: really good point, right, and you can make him the

604
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: high first highest. He's played well enough that he's number one. Okay, well, okay,

605
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: Deante is coming off the books. Well you're you're the stud.

606
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna continue drafting guys. Yeah, you hope you keep

607
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: having this problem. That's why. Yeah, you know, that's what

608
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: you're shooting for. So yeah, I think Deante. I don't

609
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: know what the numbers are and how the negotiations are going,

610
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: and they really don't have to be in a rush.

611
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: Just because these other dominoes fell doesn't mean it has

612
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: to happen today, tomorrow, whatever. It could happen down the road.

613
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: But it just seems more and more logical that they

614
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 1: should keep him, you know. I I think he's a

615
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: foundational piece and considering what receivers make now of his tear, well,

616
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: he's earned it. Yeah, I absolutely think he has. And

617
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: you know, if you if you consider yourself, you fancy

618
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: yourself a contender this year, and the Steelers do. They're

619
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: not gonna They're not gonna punt on the season. You

620
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: can't trade the guy. You're not gonna get like return.

621
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: You can't go to you know, they trade him for

622
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: three second round draft pick, sounds great, Then you're gonna

623
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: go to cam Heyward Entyson and Louilutine J Watt say hey, guys, yeah,

624
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: we just traded to wear our best receiver, maybe our

625
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: best offensive weapon, guy who's first second ompic next year.

626
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: What kind of message does that send? And I'm not sure.

627
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean goal number one, of course is always winning here,

628
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: but I mean, deep down, goal number one has to

629
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: be finding the next quarterback, and a guy like Johnson

630
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: lets you figure that out. You're not. It's not a

631
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: guy that's Archie Manning or Stafford and one of these

632
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: guys that just has nothing around them in a bad

633
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: situation that that doesn't help you figure these things out.

634
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Ally. You're listening

635
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,360

Speaker 1: Let you know what happened in this seven shots. Right

Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm Dale Ally

643
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: here with Matt Williamson. Uh crowd reacting to a Kenny

644
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: Pickett touchdown pass here in seven shots. That would have

645
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: been a sack probably, but I did like his feet

646
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: after what would have been the sack and thrown on

647
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: the run, sharp little throw. They're finding a guy in

648
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. But no, the defense

649
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: won that one. UM. In general, the quarterbacks didn't get

650
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: a whole lot of help on that in this drill.

651
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: They are not as anythink about who they're missing in

652
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: this drill. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's just, uh,

653
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: they are down to the scraping the bottom of the

654
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: barrel here at the wide receiver position to a certain degree,

655
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: not that you know, they get some depth there, but

656
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: still it's not your top guys, you know, right, a

657
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: little back shoulder throw there that Kenny Pickett can't complete

658
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: to a Tyler Vaughan. Um, Tyler Vaughns showed up a

659
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: little bit in this. Yeah, it's been a few of

660
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: these guys, I mean, Hayward Vaughan. They're getting more snaps. Sternberger,

661
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: you know that wouldn't have expected this far into camp,

662
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: you know that, Um, just because of the opportunity that arises.

663
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: A couple of things that happened there. I think it

664
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: was Trabiski. It looked like he predetermined an outside throw

665
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: in the end zone that could have been bad. Um.

666
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: There was one of those inside flips to the tight end.

667
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: T J and Cam sort of sniff that one. There's

668
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: storing Rudolf the pickens. But no, that was nice again,

669
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: Rudolph showing good feet, light feet thrown on the They're

670
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: all throwing on the run. I mean, like folks get

671
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: used to seeing throwing on the run. I mean. And

672
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: so we're a couple of other little tidbits from there.

673
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: Oh that inside handoff. I mentioned that inside flip, you know,

674
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: with the motion going across in the middle. Um, Watton,

675
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: Cam and high Smith just ate that up. You know,

676
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: they were all over that. Um. But Kendrick Green running

677
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: with the ones that left guard too. Yeah, they've been.

678
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: They've been flipping that back and forth every every kind

679
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: of period that they've done. This wouldn't surprise me if

680
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: Kenya Green wins that job, I think he fits more

681
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: what they want to do, what they would be. I

682
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: think that's becoming more and more evident that they want

683
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: movement guys. They want athletic lineman. I like dots and

684
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of teams would really like dots.

685
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: And but Green is a runner, a downfield player, an athlete,

686
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: and maybe he never play center again and just plug

687
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: him in a left guard. Would you entertain offers for dots?

688
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: And then I mean, I don't think I think he

689
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: keeps Yeah, he's not like he's tossing you a bunch

690
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: of money. As you see, every year you need more

691
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: than five, right right right? Um, so I I hold

692
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: on to him in that situation. Get some one on

693
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: ones here, backs on backers in the open field here

694
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: catching the football. This one favors. This one definitely favors

695
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: the offense. The running backs we also have to have

696
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: down here. Looks like some wide receiver blocking against Yeah,

697
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: it looks like outside run there. So Anthony Miller doing

698
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: a nice job there setting up beating Jack Again. That's

699
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: a really tough play too, follow a running back from

700
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the field all the way to the

701
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: sideline without any help. But you know that's what you

702
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: want to see from McFarland. Yeah. Um, but the offense, uh,

703
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: losing seven shots six to one in four was some

704
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: blocking down there? Yeah, nice, it's what he does. That's

705
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: what he's this this He should like this. See he

706
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: likes that one. Yeah, that one. That was a good

707
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: rap there. Okay, nice little route there by teacher Derek Watts.

708
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: Terrek Watt. He's gets into the defender. The defender there

709
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: in that case was a market some separation there. He's

710
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: a banger, he stiff route runner, you know, but he's

711
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: he made some separation, but he kind of did it

712
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: by blasting the defender in the chest and getting off

713
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: that way. So he's not that works. I mean if

714
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't get called, and I don't know that's typically

715
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't. Yeah, I don't. I mean, what about a

716
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: penalty either way? But you know, yeah, uh for the

717
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: people keeping track of the rundown. On seven shots, Strabisky

718
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: took the first four. Yeah, very nice. He's an interesting guy. Yeah,

719
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: that's a tough play. I mean that's a quick hitting

720
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: route and he drove on it really well. He's real quick,

721
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: light feet. That was nice. Yeah. Um, George Pickens putting

722
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: somebody on this puts a killow weatherspoon on his back

723
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: on that one. Again Pickens, he's physical. Let's see how

724
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: Boykin doesn't it. He's up here against who's defensive guy.

725
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: I can't tell who that is. They get their numbers

726
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: pulled up. That doesn't do us any good. No, I

727
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: hate when you do that. But forty with a quick

728
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: little route there dropped the one he probably should have caught. Yeah,

729
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: he's struggling. I thought he catch the ball a little

730
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: bit better than what because he did catch the ball

731
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: at Duke that's pteo ranto um. So he did. All right,

732
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 1: we got going there. That was that Witherspoon, Um, boy

733
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: boy can on Weatherspoon. I mean that's another rep he's

734
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: he's you know, that was the one thing about him.

735
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to show more physicality. So I think

736
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: that's what he's trying to show here. That's when he

737
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: keeps wanting right Witherspoon. Oh, nice long ball on a

738
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: wheel route by Snell deep down the sideline one yard line,

739
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: lion of scrimmages at the third he going in for

740
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: this drill. Snell took him deep, caught on the one,

741
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: trusted the ball pretty well too, Overhover's outside shoulder. That

742
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: was nice. It wasn't even bad coverage by Spileane either.

743
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: He was right with him. Yeah. The only completed touchdown

744
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: in the seven shot drill was by Mason Rudolph on

745
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: the last rep he get. That was the only one

746
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: he got. He threw it to a boy can on

747
00:38:52,560 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: the crosser. Um. Yeah, so keep that looks like we

748
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: got a little uh rain in here, I say, a

749
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: little bit of weather. He was like, it's setting in.

750
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: You got away. Look it was a lot con getting

751
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: picked by Ulysses Gilbert. Yeah, forced it in there on

752
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: a outcutting route. We give him a little break here

753
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: because he hasn't thrown a lot of passes. Get him

754
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: a break. A nice played by Gilbert though, Yeah, real

755
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: nice and real athletic move. I thought I thought he

756
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: was beating off the snap all right. Watch this such

757
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: a banger route runner. He just flattens into bush and

758
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: tries to get you know, separation that way. That's hard,

759
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: hard to win that way in the league. Yeah, I

760
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: mean you gotta win with routes and not just banging people. Well,

761
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times, you know, with your

762
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: with your full back, you're just hoping that they don't

763
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: get covered. And nice routes there by jay Len Warren

764
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: there on Mark Robinson. Yeah, he's built over the ground quick.

765
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: Yeah he's interesting too. Yeah. I think he's raising some

766
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: eyebrows here. Yeah, I know every again everybody was like

767
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: loving Mateo Durant coming into this, but um Warren has

768
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: been the more impressive than to me. I think so too,

769
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: um is uh Durant does get a catch there on Mark.

770
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 1: Uh he's a little stiffer than uh Warren though, yeah,

771
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: a little more fluid. He's again he's lowered to the ground,

772
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: little lower the ground, better leverage, a little quicker. I mean,

773
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: they probably doesn't wake way as much, but he is.

774
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: Matt Williams and I am Dale Lali. You're listening to

775
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 1: our live coverage here on the drive of Steelers practice.

776
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: Here is the take part in their second padded practice.

777
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: And we got another rep coming here. Oh Ulysses Gilbert

778
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: nice nice lookt deep again middle again there. This time

779
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: one wasn't developing route. I mean he kind of had

780
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: to set it up, set it up, but then he

781
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: cut it on the inside. That's the second you would

782
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: have a safety back there on that Oh yeah, yeah yeah,

783
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: but that's the second long ball. It makes you wonder,

784
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: I mean, if Snell's running those two routes in this drill,

785
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: are they thinking that's something Nazi He's gonna do more of?

786
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: You know, maybe goes up to we got we got

787
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: Miles Jack here against Anthony McFarland. There should be a

788
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: see jackiet him up. Yeah, see what happens Here's a

789
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: tough call. But or tough duty. It's a Mason Rudolph,

790
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback, just kind of a little yeah route though

791
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: Mason put it on him with timing. That's what you

792
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: want to see McFarland do. Yeah, and there's that's kind

793
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: of a wide receiver turned off McFarland. Yeah. I mean

794
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: it was almost like a comeback route, and Rudolf threw

795
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: it to him as he was coming out of his brakes.

796
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: It's a tough one to defend. Jack probably would have

797
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: made the tackle for a five yard gate or whatever,

798
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: but you know the defense wouldn't be too upset with it. Absolutely.

799
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: See who's up here? Now? Are they? We got that's

800
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: figuring things out as the wide receivers continue yet either Yeah,

801
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: wide receivers continuing to block the the cornerbacks and safeties

802
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: over here to our left. Wish Claypool was in that droll. Yeah,

803
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to see some of that physicality from him.

804
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: Cornery and yeah, who's up here? Looks like Tyler snead

805
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: against Witherspoon. Weatherspoon was, No, that's not Witherspoon. I can't

806
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: tell who that is. Okay there Jery Len Warren, j

807
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: Len Warren, nice little and he finishes the run. Yeah,

808
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: now he's showing up practice after practice. It's funny how

809
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: camp works, like they probably signed him and I looked

810
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: at it and okay, we'll see if he makes any noise.

811
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: A PRAC was against Mark Robinson, so he and everybody

812
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: had one practice his name pops up, and then a

813
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: second one then practice later and it's like, okay, now

814
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm watching Warren pretty intently. What to me, this is

815
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: not a rout runner. Yeah, that's just so much different

816
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: than all the other guys do. And he's playing a

817
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,959
Speaker 1: different position speed speed factor as well, right right, right, Okay,

818
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: now we get that Devin Bush out there. Who's who's

819
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: coming up here for the backs? Something good on the

820
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: Warren on, Yeah, there's just there's a good one that

821
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: you want to see. Looks like to get mateod Rent here, yep,

822
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: we got eighty three over you got Hayward. You know

823
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: that's eighty two. I'm sorry blocking on that, Steven Sims.

824
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: Let's see if he can do anything. I mean, he's

825
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: a little bit, he's a little guy. Yeah, okay, here

826
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: we go Bush first, mate, Yeah, gather with at That

827
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 1: was a little arm extension there that one might again

828
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean he completed it. I wouldn't be super upset

829
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: if I were Bush on that one. No, that's one

830
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: there that I think that's the difference between what Watt

831
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: has done and what a young guy did. When what

832
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: gets into the guy, he doesn't extend the arm, he

833
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: uses his shoulder. When you get that arm extension like that,

834
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: that's when that's when you get the passenger for I

835
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: think that's what the wrest are coached, you know, not

836
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: allow that. Yeah, so that wasn't bad by Bush. I

837
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: mean there's probably people in the stands like a Bush

838
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: is good. He got beat, but he had he had

839
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: outside leverage and he got the whole field. Another one.

840
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: Not a bad job there by Buddy Johnson. They're sticking

841
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: with him on that one. All these Snell routes are

842
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: designed to go to the house. Yeah, maybe they're they're

843
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: testing him out to see what he can do down

844
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah. Again, I'm thinking that's number one. Back

845
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: is going to get that role. Absolutely, you would think,

846
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: And that's the whole portant. George Pickens on Cam Sutton

847
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: just man handling. Yeah, he is a grown man out there.

848
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: That was nice. That was he sealed it off. Very

849
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: well against. He takes pride in the two and he

850
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: enjoys it absolutely. That's going to be the end of

851
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: it for that one. So this is probably the last

852
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: one here and it's not bad. That was good, but

853
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 1: good drill by all and all the Yeah, he looks

854
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: good running in space like that, which he better. I

855
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,919
Speaker 1: would say this is what he should do. But good,

856
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, I mean again, he comes off his brakes

857
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: better than these most of these other guys. He looks

858
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 1: like a more accomplished or out runner, especially on outbreaking stuff.

859
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: You know, we get jay Len Warren going against Yeah,

860
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: that's what we're asking. Yeah, absolutely, let's see what's looks like.

861
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: And again there's no other defenders out there, so they're

862
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: running back and use the entire field. All right, not bad,

863
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: good job up there by Bush. Yes, the Bush took

864
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 1: a different approach there. He did came up and got it. Yeah,

865
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: he didn't wait for them to take and take to him.

866
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure the linebackers coach said, hey, be more aggressive,

867
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: cut down their angle, don't give him as much of

868
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 1: a two way go. It's awful tough for a second

869
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: level linebacker to press a rotting back out of the backfield,

870
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: of course, but that's as close as you can get.

871
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: Come up to the around the line of scrimmage, meet him,

872
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: redirect them, you know, lean them one way or another,

873
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: you know. So that was nice work. Yeah, I think

874
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: I just heard a little bit of thunder. Did you

875
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: hear that? I heard something? It was either people around us.

876
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: It's hard to tell what the headset, but has that

877
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: feel about if things are getting dark here, things are

878
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: getting a little darker. I'm hoping that we can keep

879
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: you on here here. He is Matt Williams and I

880
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: am Dale Lali. You're listening to our live coverage here

881
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: from Steelers Craney Camp. We get the who we got here?

882
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: Is that? What? What? And Buddy Johnson and he can't

883
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: he didn't get away from Buddy. He couldn't get away

884
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: from Buddy at all. Good good job by Buddy Johnson there.

885
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not picking on what he is. What

886
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 1: he is, he's gonna make this team, He's not gonna

887
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be a featured receiver if he catches

888
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: five passes and rights. I mean I'm more interested when

889
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: he runs routes Bush coming back out of your linebackers

890
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: all over him or not, you know, and if they

891
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: should be all over him and this Poteo, Matteo, Durant

892
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: and Bush Okay, looks that way. Yeah yah, so another

893
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: feature matchup here that the same way. See if he

894
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: steps up, Yeah, he's coming up to get him, gonna

895
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: come up, come up. Good job, sip a little bit,

896
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: slip recovered. Okay, yeah, yeah, not bad, It's not bad.

897
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: So that's what I mean. That's what you want to

898
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: see him do. Take that on and be more aggressive,

899
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: because yeah, that's one of the things that you heard

900
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: last year. But well he just looks like he's a

901
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: step slow and everything. Um, you want to see him.

902
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 1: And now we got Miles Jack coming out. Whose Miles

903
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: Jack gonna get here? You would think he'd be the best.

904
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: He's getting Benny Snell. He's so so Benny Snell versus

905
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: Miles Jack. Will watch this whe then we'll take a

906
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,160
