1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: At least he's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 2: And welcome back. I am Dale Lolly. He is the

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and Matt Adam rank on NFL has put

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: together his flex rankings one through one fifty in Fantasy Football.

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: Oh, coming out of the draft, okay, just generic. Yeah,

8
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: i'n't given this a lot of thought yet.

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: Either, he's got Saquon Barkley number one.

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: I guess I can't fight that. B Jon Robinson number

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: two gonna be your second. I think so number two overall,

12
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: not just second back like number two over all. Right,

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I take him over Chase Jefferson. I

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: don't know. This is new to me. I have not

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: given it a lot of thought.

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: At three, he has Jamar Chase.

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: Okay, we just want the triple crown and nothing should

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: really change that much for him.

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: At four, Pokah Nikua.

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: I don't think Adams helps him.

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: I don't think it does either.

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: I think he's a first round pick, but I have

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: a hard time using a fourth oat I take Jefferson

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: ahead of him. I might take Lamb ahead of him and.

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: The style that pok he missed time last year. We've

26
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: forgotten this.

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: I mean, who else is gonna catch passes other than

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb? I mean I'm taking Lamb over in Nikua.

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: Five is Justin Jefferson.

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really even care whose quarterback is. I

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: mean it's it'll be fine, hasn't seemed. Six is ceed

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: Lamb okay. Seven Molik Neighbors very wide receiver heavy here.

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: Neighbors got so many targets and they didn't change much.

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: I mean they didn't end up with Hunter or anything.

35
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: Neighbors are Nikua neighbors for me. I think neighbors just

36
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: Adams is good at the band target right, and they

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: draft the title.

38
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: They like to run the football.

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah uh.

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: Eight Brian Thomas Junior.

41
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: I'm a huge fan, but I think Hunter hurts him.

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: It hurts him, Yeah, definitely. I think they want to

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: run the football more. Yes, he'd be the last that

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: we've mentioned so far. We'll see who else who's behind him.

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: Nine Ashton Genty.

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: I would have him higher. I think he's closer to

47
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: Bijon than he is. Nine.

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: Ten is a mon Ross Saint Brown.

49
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: I'd have him over Niakua. I definitely have him over Thomas.

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 3: I mean he's that's a safer pick as you can make.

51
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, eleven is Jamior.

52
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: Gibbs might also be too low.

53
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: Twelve is Drake London.

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I would have That's that's your what you're looking

55
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: at right now is your potential first round picks.

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: I got to tell you. I mean they're all good players. Yeah, yeah,

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: it's but it's almost like this year's draft.

58
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: Say, I'm who you thrilled to take? Were at their price?

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 3: I mean that happens every year when I like see

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: the first rankings, I'm like, oh, I don't I don't

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: want to pick in the first round anywhere? You know, No,

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 3: them were great? Yeah, and then you start warming up

63
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: to him, you realize, you know this is good.

64
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you're going to have to make it right, right, right, right,

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: So you're going to take one of these guys.

66
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: And would you consider Bowers in the first round. No,

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 3: he's gotta be tight end one though, right, Oh.

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's he's more of a round.

69
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm taking them over Brian Thomas and

70
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: those type of guys.

71
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: Well, let's move on to the day. So thirteen is

72
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey. That's a leap of that's a leap of faith,

73
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: all right. But like we said the same thing about

74
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: like Henry last year, Barkley. Fourteen is Derrick Henry.

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: I think I'd take Henry over McCaffrey.

76
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: Fifteen lad mconkie.

77
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: Wow, he's there already. Yeah, off season was good to him.

78
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: Sixteen is Brough Bowers.

79
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: Okay, I assume McBride will be tight end too. Seventeen

80
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: is Nico Collins. Oh, I would rather have Nico guy.

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: I might rather have them like Brian Thomas. Yeah, I

82
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: know they have three other good receivers. Kirk in the

83
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: two eyes, but he used to do. But he's the dude.

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: That's a bargain rate there. Yeah.

85
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: Eighteen is AJ Brown. That's eleven receivers in the top eighteen.

86
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 3: AJ Brown's so maddening because they just don't throw enough. Yeah,

87
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: that's his only deficiency.

88
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: Nineteen Kyron Williams. That's RB seven, consistent producer, good team

89
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: catches the ball.

90
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I never owned him anywhere though. Twenty his wide

91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: receiver twelve Jackson Smith and Jigba Targets are gonna be

92
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: high a monster second half. Yeah, he's worthy of that.

93
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: Would you take him on Maconkey? Real similar? They're very similar. Yeah,

94
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: I might trust Smith and Jigma more.

95
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: Twenty one Garrett Wilson.

96
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 3: Pretty cheap, but I understand why. I mean, they have

97
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: no other pass catchers either. Yeah.

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: I mean twenty two is Bucky Irving.

99
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: I think I would have him higher. He did a

100
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 3: heck of a year, not much competition, good team, He's

101
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: gonna be the guy.

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: Twenty three is Breisee Hall. Yeah, get two Jets as high.

103
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: I know. That's why I was just sitting here thinking

104
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: it's like, well, their line looks like it's coming together.

105
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: But he was Jets in the top twenty three R

106
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: they're both good players. Twenty four is Chase Brown. I

107
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: can't quite get there on that.

108
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: Twenty five is T Higgins.

109
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: Bengals will put up points.

110
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: That's wide receiver fourteen though, like they're.

111
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: Gonna that's three Bengals the top twenty five. I traded

112
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 3: for T Higgins last year. Yeah, yeah, and there were

113
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: times when I'm like, why the hell did I do this?

114
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: And this was after he was just coming back from injury. Yeah,

115
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: but there are times when Burrow gets the goggles on

116
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: and he doesn't look anywhere but Chase. Yeah, I know,

117
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: and it's like you're just sitting here going.

118
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: Right. He really good.

119
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: Higgins has one on one coverage. You're throwing the chase

120
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: with three guys on him.

121
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if I could get Higgins this high.

122
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: They're they're kind of number one receivers out there who

123
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: are the only game in town. On their teams, they're

124
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: gonna get more, They're gonna get more targets, and we

125
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: have mentioned like Tyreek Hill, right, they're going to get more.

126
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: To understand why, but wow. Twenty six Trey McBride. That's

127
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: tight end two.

128
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 3: They ain't catch any touchdowns, but I think that doesn't

129
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: It should be my tight end too too.

130
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: Twenty seven is Dj Moore.

131
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: Oh, I think that was kind of a shot across

132
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 3: the bow when they drafted Burden. Twenty I think a

133
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: Don's roll is gonna grow and they have a first

134
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: round tight end.

135
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: Twenty eight is Tyreek.

136
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 3: I think I'm buying at that price. Here's here's a

137
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 3: guy like McCaffrey. This next guy would definitely take over,

138
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: uh T.

139
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: Higgins. Twenty nine is Terry McLaurin. Yeah, he's he's it.

140
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: I'd take both Bucks receivers over him. Yeah, Like, how

141
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: is McLaurin blow the number two receiver on Ebo doesn't

142
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: scare me? No, I mean that's not enough to be

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: mclaurin's gonna he's gonna get pencil it in now he's

144
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: got ninety plus catches. McLaurin should probably a second rounder. Yeah,

145
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: that's a really safe pick.

146
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: To classically undervalued every every year thirty Devin chan Nop.

147
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: Not for me.

148
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: The running backs are not nice right here, you know,

149
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: like Chase Brown. I think a lot of those rookies

150
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: coming into the league. I know I wanted to avoid

151
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: teams that have the rookies. Some of those some of

152
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: those dudes are gonna be he's gonna right. Yeah, at

153
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: least Miami didn't take one. Well, they took one late,

154
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: but he did that. Yeah, they took they took Ollie Gordon. Yeah,

155
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: I'd say they took a big one.

156
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: But a chance showed you last year he's not He's

157
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: not an every down runner.

158
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: No, that's what I was about saying.

159
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: Watching him run into the line of scrimmage.

160
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: Used him as a lineback and at least Gordon's.

161
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: Gonna take it, just like there was a force field there.

162
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: He would bounce back off.

163
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: Like Michael, what do you even ask again? Is he

164
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: a good coach?

165
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: Thirty one Jonathan Taylor.

166
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: I'd take him way higher. Yeah, he doesn't catch a ton,

167
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: and I'm sure everyone's like, that's RB twelve. I'm taking

168
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: him over brown a Chan. I'd probably take him at

169
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: least a round higher than where they they're talking about.

170
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: Thirty two is really good. Yeah, thirty two is Mike Evans.

171
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: That's he's like McLaurin.

172
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, classically undervalued.

173
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 3: We know he gets a thousand yards every years.

174
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: He's gonna fall off the cliff. But right, and Aguca

175
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: doesn't scare me. He's not getting any shorter, he's not

176
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: getting any less physical.

177
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 3: Baker doesn't like him any less. I mean catches touchdowns.

178
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: H thirty three Marvin Harrison Junior.

179
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: I could see a bounce back. I mean not that

180
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: it was terrible, but I could see him being a

181
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: little slept on.

182
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: Thirty four Josh Jacobs. That's RB thirteen. That's RB thirteen,

183
00:08:59,120 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs.

184
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: He had to finish like five or six, right, Yeah,

185
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: I mean it's a little too much older running back bias.

186
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: Thirty five Kenneth Walker.

187
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: It's another one I would bounce back on.

188
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: Thirty six. We have our first Steeler. Who do you

189
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: think it is?

190
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: Metcalf?

191
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: He came Metcalf wide receiver.

192
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: Twenty sounds about right, and I'm sure they won't be

193
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 3: super high pass percentage.

194
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: Thirty seven is running back fifteen David Montgomery.

195
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: Good offense and he scores. They can support two.

196
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: Thirty eight James Cook.

197
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 3: I'd have him a lot higher. I had a million

198
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: touchdowns which won't ever happen, not going.

199
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: To happen again. But he catches the ball, and that's

200
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: a good good team.

201
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 3: Good team. I would have him way higher.

202
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: Thirty nine is DeVante Adams.

203
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: I don't think he fell off. I'm okay with that.

204
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: I would go higher on him.

205
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: Forty George Kittle was tight end three, probably should be.

206
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 3: It's not Kelsey anymore. It's not Pitts. It's not definitely

207
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: not Pitts.

208
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: Andrews isn't even in the conversation.

209
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: No he's not.

210
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 2: But there's some other guys there.

211
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: That that's why I could This is stuff isn't fresh

212
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: on my mind, but would you take Andrews or Kelsey?

213
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: Kelsey's not gonna play.

214
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: I don't know that I want either one of those

215
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: guys this.

216
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: Year over Kittle. I mean, are you cool with Kittle

217
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: or do you think I don't even know the Kittle's

218
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 3: will tight end. I haven't given it much thought either, right.

219
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: But I mean we'll get we'll get to it. Courtland

220
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: Sutton at forty one.

221
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: Nick feeds them and they didn't add a receiver of note.

222
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 2: Roma Dunza at forty two.

223
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: He didn't do much.

224
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: Chris Alave at forty three.

225
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: I think i'd have him higher. I mean, there's concussions.

226
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: Scared the heck guy.

227
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: I don't trust him anymore with the concussion stuff, and

228
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: I don't know who the hell or quarterback is.

229
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: I think it's a lot like Eric Wilson though, plus injuries.

230
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: I try. I trust Justin Fields a lot more than

231
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: I trust whoever's quarterbated.

232
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: I mean, and I like shock, but the Wilson was

233
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: going thirty picks higher. Yeah, uh Rashie Rice at forty

234
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 3: four if he's n't suspended. Yeah.

235
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: Chuba Hubbard at forty five, that's too low.

236
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 3: He's not a flashy dude. Yeah, he produces, and he's

237
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 3: their number one. Devonte Smith at forty six font his

238
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: fault days on the throat forty seven is Chris Godwin.

239
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: I don't know he's totally out of the woods injury wise,

240
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: but the contract implies he is. Yeah, he was a

241
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: monster before he got hurt.

242
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley at forty eight.

243
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: I assume he's their leading receiver by a wide margin.

244
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: Forty nine Xavier Worthy.

245
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: Little two hit or miss.

246
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty DeAndre Swift.

247
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: He's like the best. He got the luckiest it in

248
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 3: terms of not having a deal with a rookie run.

249
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: I don't love the player though.

250
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 3: No, I don't think Johnson loved the player when they

251
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 3: were in Detroit together, right, they trade and get rid.

252
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: Of them just looking here. Fifty who is tight end

253
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: number three on here or tight end four?

254
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: I imagine pickings as soon too.

255
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: Tight End four is T. J. Hawkinson.

256
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that.

257
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 2: Fallow way down at sixty five though, Okay, so it's

258
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: really a three twenty five picks after Laporta is tight

259
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: end five.

260
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: I forgot what Laporta too. I'd buy him at that price.

261
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: John Who Smith is tight end six. Johnny was pretty good,

262
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: Like he.

263
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: Was real good last year. That was one of my

264
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 3: dudes coming in last year.

265
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: Tight End seven is Evan Ingram at seventy nine, Mark

266
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: Andrews at tight end eight. I'd buy Andrews. I still

267
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: don't have Right Kelsey. David and Joku is tight end nine.

268
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey tight end ten at eighty three.

269
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 3: He might not play a lot, but he's gonna be

270
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: there in the red zone stuff.

271
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, your other Steelers mentioned here. Jaylen Warren is sixty,

272
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: he's RB twenty five.

273
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: Do you have him? Would you take him over Johnson?

274
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: I would not.

275
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 3: I think he'll catch more balls, but I think i'd

276
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: rather Johnson'd rather have Johnson. I was curious where the

277
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 3: rookie running backs are in general, Like you didn't mention

278
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 3: Hampton very high.

279
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: None of them are rated very highly. On Trevon Henderson's

280
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: RB twenty eight.

281
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: I think what's his face in Denver should be pretty high.

282
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: I mean he's probably the opening day starter.

283
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: George Pickens comes in at seventy third overalls wide receiver

284
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: thirty eight, pretty low. He's behind Georgetcafs twenty and he's

285
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: thirty eight. He's behind Jordan Addison is wide receiver thirty six.

286
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would Tay Pickings.

287
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: Brandon ayuk is wide receiver thirty seven. He might not

288
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: even play this year. He's definitely a miss time. Khalil

289
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: shakiir Is wide receiver thirty nine.

290
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: Oh, those are all George picks the wrong neighborhood.

291
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, George Pickens should be up at least one neighborhood there.

292
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a receiver two or three? Yeah, yeah.

293
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 2: Uh. If there's who else we got on here, Caleb

294
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: Johnson ninety six overall RB thirty six.

295
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: Just by the sounds of things, I would take a

296
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 3: lot of rookie running.

297
00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: Backs just ahead of Javonte Williams and right behind tajap Years.

298
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: It's not terrible neighborhood, but I think those running backs

299
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: in general, like where's Harvey at? Do you see him anywhere?

300
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: Handy or hamp that you're.

301
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: Asking Harvey seventy seven, Harby thirty one.

302
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: Some of these highly drafted running backs, rookie running backs

303
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 3: go are bargains fantasy.

304
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Pat Friarmouth is tight end sixteen at one thirteen.

305
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: I guess that's about right. Maybe i'd have him a

306
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: little higher and that might be it for our probably

307
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: probably for the Steelers. Let's see here, I'm not gonna

308
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: have a quarterback in the top one fifty. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

309
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: there weren't. Those are just flex rankings. There's no quarterbacks

310
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: we didn't get in. Oh, I said we didn't get

311
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: any quarterbacks. I guess that's what's right, right anyways, Okay,

312
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 3: that's a good first looked right, right.

313
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: What's happening in fantasy football?

314
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: The top doesn't seem super strong. I mean, the first

315
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: couple of picks do, but there I don't I find

316
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: to pick nine.

317
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: They're good players, but I don't know if I want

318
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: to pay that price.

319
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: Right, Like, I have no problem taking Saque one or

320
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 3: Chase three or something like that. Sure, but I don't

321
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: know that I won't take Brian Thomas eleven.

322
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: You know, if I got to take Justin Like last

323
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: year in our league, I took Justin Jefferson seven, you

324
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: took Chase eight. Yeah yeah, and we were both you know,

326
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: Them right, right, right? That's all better than the seventh

353
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: ever have a segment idea, we'll consider it. You know,

354
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: I mean this time of year, are always looking for

355
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: stuff to talk about.

356
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: All right, So our first question here comes from Craig A.

357
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: Leech Senior, not to be confused with junior. Will the

358
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: Steelers ever retire another number, maybe twelve? Or are there

359
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: still hard feelings from the organization?

360
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: This is more your style. There's a lot of options.

361
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: There are a lot of options, and there are a

362
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: number of numbers that they don't give up as a

363
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: matter of fact, about right, Bob Labriola answered that very

364
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: question today asked to answered, which is why you downloaded

365
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: Steelers mobile acts. You can get that, okay. So here

366
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: are the numbers that they don't give out in addition

367
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 2: to it, and including the retired numbers. They haven't given

368
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: out seven. No one's worn it since since Yeah he

369
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: hasn't been that long, but they have given it out.

370
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: They haven't given out twelve. This is all true for

371
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: camp too, right, Yeah, yeah, thirty two is obviously retired.

372
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 3: Yes, they haven't given out thirty six. Really okay, they

373
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: haven't given out forty three. They haven't given out fifty two.

374
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: Ever, that's been a long time too. Yeah, they haven't

375
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 2: given out fifty eight, fifty nine. They haven't given out

376
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: fifty nine since nineteen eighty four. Todd seabaw was assigned

377
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: to number for the eighty four season, and they haven't

378
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: done that since.

379
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: I think.

380
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty.

381
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: Silly the others. Yeah, they illustrious Todd Seabaugh.

382
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 2: They haven't given out sixty three.

383
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: I was curious about that one. Oh line could be top.

384
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: That's their money for those young uns that don't know

385
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: that one. They obviously seventy for Ernie Stautner is retired,

386
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: seventy five for Joe Green is retired. And they haven't

387
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: given out eighty six.

388
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: Really, okay, I know eighty eight and eighty two have

389
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: gone out. Yeah, you'll see them at camp. Eighties could

390
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: be tough too, I mean he I mean, there's no

391
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: line in the problem is there's only so many numbers

392
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 3: that you can have, but you're that good and they

393
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: don't want to get They're not going to give out one.

394
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: They don't believe.

395
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: They don't believe in giving somebody the number one because

396
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: guys would fight over it.

397
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 3: Will they give up with? Will they do zero?

398
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: They haven't.

399
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 3: They haven't. I don't think either. Yeah. Do you think

400
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: anyone else will be retired soon soon? Who would it be?

401
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 3: I mean all those ones you listed, I mean they

402
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 3: went twenty years between Joe Green's number being maybe longer

403
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: than that between Joe Green and Franco Harris.

404
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: Is nobody's being retired.

405
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any rush.

406
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: No.

407
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: I would think one of the quarter would be next

408
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 3: if by chance.

409
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: And these numbers are all but retired.

410
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 3: You don't see him running around on Sunday.

411
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, except in the stands because lots of people are

412
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: still weare of them. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, I Ham Sandwich asked,

413
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: what's up with TJ's contract? TJ watch contract extension? Does

414
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: it need to happen this offseason? If we signed Rogers

415
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 2: for say twenty million, do we have the money to

416
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: extend TJ and pay him forty million? It's going to

417
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: happen this offseason. Yeah, those things always happen during training camp.

418
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: The Rogers thing is completely separate from that. They do matter.

419
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 3: They have plenty of money.

420
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: The money is they've my last check, I think they

421
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: had thirty two million dollars in salary cap space. They

422
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: need like nine and change for rookies to sign their rookies,

423
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 2: which is why I kind of raise my eyes at

424
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: you with the whole uh trading.

425
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: For Jalen Ramsey conversation.

426
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because you can't sign a quarterback and trade

427
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: for Jalen Ramsey. It's just can't.

428
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: Happen unless you restructure. Guys.

429
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to get crazy as a lot of stuff,

430
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 2: move a lot of money around. But what and rogers

431
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: have nothing to do with each other. Those things are

432
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 2: both factored into the equation. And watch Deeal wouldn't kick

433
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: in this year.

434
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: Anyway, That's what it says. I bet what might even

435
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: lower if you signed him today, he might have a

436
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 3: less of a hit this year than if you wanted to. Yeah,

437
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 3: if you need the money right for Jayalen Ramsey.

438
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: Don't start that stuff again. You know how rumors started.

439
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: That's where it started. Anyways, Who's next? Butch asked, has this?

440
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: Has the team ever made multiple picks in the first round?

441
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: Rickets? Right?

442
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had was an eighty five draft. I believe

443
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: they had traded Merriweather.

444
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and I can't remember who else the first

445
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 3: round pick was that year, but I think that's the

446
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: only time. Yeah I can remember. Yeah, yeah, prior to

447
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: maybe in the fifties or whatever.

448
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: Man, prior to that, they always trade the way they're

449
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: Josiah Jones asks why do the Steelers wait so long

450
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: to make moves? I feel it is a bad practice

451
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: to wait until the last possible moment. Moment the Bengals

452
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: waited to extend Chase, and it cost them a lot

453
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: of a lot more. The Steelers have waited to extend TJ.

454
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: And now Garrett's contract is going to drive that price up,

455
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: but we don't know that yet. A. But B they

456
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: all they don't make any moves until they have to

457
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: make a move. And it's just the way that they've

458
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: they do business. It's a way that they've always done business.

459
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: And in the long run, I think they've made out

460
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: more on that than they've been hurt by it.

461
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 3: Gather more information, A guy could decline, an injury could happen,

462
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 3: somebody can come on, you know, So.

463
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 2: Look at it this way. So one of the things

464
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: that Carl Dunbar talked about after the draft or after

465
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 2: they took the outside linebacker from my house. Yeah, when

466
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: they took Sawyer and they did take into two defensive linemen.

467
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: He said, look, we want to play these guys less.

468
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna play our star guys less so that they're

469
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: fresher in the fourth quarter. Well, you know, so that

470
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: could be something that they factor into the TJ wat contract, Like, look,

471
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 2: hey TJ, we love you. We can't pay you forty

472
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: million dollars a year. We're going to knock your snapcount

473
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 2: back to seventy percent. Yeah.

474
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: I wouldn't love hearing that. If I were Tim trying

475
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 3: to think of I'm sure he would.

476
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 2: But it's part of It's all part of the negotiations.

477
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, negotiations aren't always kind, right, I'd be like, well,

478
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: then I'll play ninety percent. I mean I could do whatever.

479
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to do. Whatever ask me. I mean, are

480
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 3: you going to give me a raise the day high

481
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 3: Smith gets hurt and I got to play one hundred percent?

482
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: No, No, But I mean again, this was all part

483
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: of the contract negotiations, and you have more information at

484
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: hand at that point. For example, I was listening to

485
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: Serious ExM and they had the former Jets GM on. Yeah, yeah,

486
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: who is on with Jimmy Miller? I can name escapes

487
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: me right now? A lot of names escape me right now. Anyways,

488
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: he's talking about how he was negotiating with a running

489
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: back when he was with the Jets, and it was

490
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: right before the draft, and they were they had made

491
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: a contract offer to said running back. Running back comes

492
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: into the office, He calls him in, he says, he says, look,

493
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to show you our running back board. These

494
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: are the guys that we have first round grades on.

495
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 2: Didn't say what year it was. These are the five

496
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: or six guys we have first round grades on. Either

497
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: you're going to sign the contract now or we are

498
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: going to draft one of.

499
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 3: These guys, right, which is it's how you negotiate. Yeah,

500
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure, like I've heard, like baseball arbitration's

501
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: nastiest could be you know, Oh yeah, I mean like

502
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 3: mean stuff. Back to the question though, it's just the league.

503
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: I mean TJ aside.

504
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if TJ were also signing contract extensions

505
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: right now, right, I mean, just because the Browns do

506
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: business one way doesn't mean you really do you really

507
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: want to do business the way the Browns do business

508
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: is what it comes down to.

509
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 3: And yeah, they waited on Chase, but it wasn't like

510
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: they spent that much more on him. I mean, it's

511
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 3: gonna cost you one where the premium premium dudes, whenever

512
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: they come up, we're gonna make a little more than

513
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: the guy before. I'm a little less than the guy

514
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: after him. And it's just I don't think they wait

515
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: exceedingly long.

516
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: I mean, were they supposed to sign TJ. Watt the

517
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: day after the season ended, right when he still got

518
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: another year left on his contract.

519
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 3: Or even like last year Cam Hayward signed a deal. Yeah,

520
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 3: well the timing wasn't bad on that, right, you know

521
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: what I mean, most of the deals they make, it's

522
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: not like, Man, they waited way too long to get that.

523
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: And quite frankly, I mean this is I'm not this

524
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: is nothing against TJ. Watt, But if he plays out

525
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: his contract, let's say they don't get an extension agreed

526
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 2: to this year, well think a franchise.

527
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 3: At the end of the year, right exactly, so he

528
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: again the bargaining. They had the bargaining power, and franchising

529
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 3: might even be cheaper.

530
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: It might be.

531
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 3: I always talked about with Aaron Donald, and he was

532
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: in the prime of his powers. There weren't any the

533
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: five defensive tackles that would be lumped in with him.

534
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: It's the biggest bargain ever to franchise Donald at that price.

535
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 3: If he was that good. Yeah.

536
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: Uh. Heshan asked, Hey, guys, if Cole Holcomb is fully

537
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: healthy and what situations do you see him out on

538
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: the field. Is he better in pass coverage than Peyton Wilson? No?

539
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: Or will he be coming him when Wilson or Queen

540
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: need a breather. Yes, Queen didn't do much of that,

541
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: though Queen didn't. He never came off to the field

542
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 2: of field. Also, barring injuries, could he be a mid

543
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 2: season trade candidate maybe if someone came on. I has

544
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: to show that he's capable of playing.

545
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm sure he'll get a lot

546
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 3: of preseason snaps and they'll be taped to prove.

547
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: He's healthy, and there'll be times when he's out there.

548
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know. Well, I don't think it'll be

549
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 3: like Roberts though. It's not going to be a straight split. No, No,

550
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: I would be shocked. I think Wilson's going to be

551
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 3: pretty close in every down.

552
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 2: Guy.

553
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Holcomb gets twenty five percent of the snaps

554
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: here and there, Yeah, when everyone's healthy.

555
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: Gordon Deadman asked, when are they announcing the date of

556
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: the Dublin game? Thanks, if you can let Steelers worldwide.

557
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 3: No, you have an answer on that. I don't know when.

558
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 2: I mean the schedule comes. The schedule comes out May

559
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: fourteenth now typically in the past, and I say it

560
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 2: typically right.

561
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of weeks. I always stinks up on me.

562
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 2: They have announced the international games ahead of ahead of

563
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: the schedule, but they don't typically tell you when the

564
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: schedule is coming out either, which they did at the

565
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: draft this year, which makes me wonder if they're changing

566
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: things up a little bit. The league doesn't tell the teams, hey,

567
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: this is when we're going to announce these things. You

568
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: kind of have a general idea when that's coming.

569
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: So it's safe to say at the latest two weeks

570
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 3: from now you'll know, yes, but probably before.

571
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to announce them ahead

572
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 2: of time this year because I think they used the

573
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 2: draft this year, because they stopped in the middle of

574
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: the first round and announced, hey, we're gonna have the

575
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: schedule release on May fourteenth. They never used to tell

576
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: you that. Okay, okay, I mean how many times said

577
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: they're going, well, the schedule should be out this week,

578
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: and then they have to push it back a week

579
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: because there's conflicts.

580
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: I gotcha, So well weeks you're going to know?

581
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Shane, ass are we going to the super Bowl?

582
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 3: I lean towards no, but crazier things have happened.

583
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: Get the magic a ball out? Assuming no major injuries

584
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 2: in the dime, I know, not a safe assumption. What

585
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: percentage of snaps does Harmon play this season.

586
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 3: In the dime?

587
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: D line or D line? I'm sorry, I just read that. Yeah,

588
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: d Lin, he's probably at least I mean, Ogunjobi played

589
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 2: forty percent of the snaps. I was going to say

590
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: right around I think it was like forty four percent.

591
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: I very much think reducing cam is real. Yeah, which

592
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: could open up a little more percentage.

593
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: It's probably right around fifty percent.

594
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, forty to fifty I would say. Yeah, someone to say, yeah,

595
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: assuming he's the player, you think if he shows he's

596
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 3: better than that, then he'll get more. H Yeah, that

597
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: sounds fair. Yeah, you'll be happy with that favorite pick

598
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 3: from this past weekend as R. J. Poyer, Well, we've

599
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 3: already both said one, two, three, Johnson.

600
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, Matt loves Johnson. Michael Edesso, I can't get

601
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 2: over how perfect they fit Caleb Johnson is in this offense.

602
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: We were kind of worried that they were going for

603
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: more speedback sacrificing sacrificing size, but he really is the

604
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: best of both worlds. His breakaway speed is shocking to me,

605
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 2: and his tape is full of explosive plays.

606
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 3: Thoughts, totally great. I think.

607
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: I think he fits very well in this offense, and

608
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe he was still there at eighty three

609
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: right now.

610
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: I think they got pretty fortunate with that. Ye had

611
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 3: to be sweating it out.

612
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: Andrew Kwaikowski asked, at what point do you think it's

613
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: vital for Rogers to be in during the offseason program

614
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: so it won't be detrimental to the team OTAs or

615
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: mini camp if he's in at some point during the OTAs,

616
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it. Yeah, they don't start, they start,

617
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: I think what may twenty first, so basically three weeks,

618
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: three weeks from now.

619
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 3: Obviously this camp coming up doesn't matter.

620
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: This is a rookie camp. He can't even attend anywhere, right,

621
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: he can't even go Other than that, it's just working

622
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 2: out with the teammates and stuff.

623
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 3: I'd like to get him signed a day or two

624
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: before OTAs.

625
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if it extends, be on that. I honestly, I.

626
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: Don't know that it's a deal breaker. I'm mad about it.

627
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: But not really because now you've got your rookie quarterback.

628
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: First of all, Mason Rudolph, while he has been in

629
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh doesn't know this system at all. He needs time, right,

630
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: he needs time. You got a rookie quarterback who's going

631
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: to need a bunch of time.

632
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: Oh a lot. He's gonna get a lot of preseason.

633
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: And so I'm okay with again, as long as Aaron

634
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 2: Rodgers isn't in Egypt during mini camp, I'm okay.

635
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, if he's unsigned, I don't care where he is.

636
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: Well, but if he is, if he isned, like he's

637
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: signed a deal, you're in a mandatory mini camp. You

638
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: were here.

639
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know how much he has to participate

640
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: in those things, but like them be in the building.

641
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah right, okay, so that's sort of soon three weeks.

642
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: Uh, no question. As a ch kerr, love the show,

643
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 2: but I have to book a book. Recommendation for you

644
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: since you were talking about it. There's a series of

645
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: books by CJ. Box, the Joe Pickett Series. There's twenty

646
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: five to twenty six books in the series. All are

647
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: really good, and Matt will love that there's a TV

648
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: show about them on Paramount.

649
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: Plus that I would consider. I'm not reading twenty five

650
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 3: or twenty seven books.

651
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that that could be my summer reading.

652
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 3: There you go, that sounds like up your alley.

653
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah it's and he says, guys, great job in your

654
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 2: work leading up to the draft and the draft itself.

655
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: Matt's an ironman stupid question. Does it strengthen the run

656
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: defense or have any inverse question?

657
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 3: Time?

658
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: Does strengthening the run defense have any adverse impact on

659
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: the past d? And do expect both offensive line and

660
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: D pics in next year's draft.

661
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: I don't know how strengthening the run defense could hurt

662
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: the past defense.

663
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: No, because if you get them in the more third

664
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: and longspos the third and four, you're in a much

665
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: better situation.

666
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 3: Unless they're implying going to play with a bunch of big,

667
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: heavy dudes. You can't rush the passer only to stop

668
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 3: the run, which I don't think is the case.

669
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: It's not the case. You're still gonna have Watt in

670
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: high Smith and right, you still got premium pass rushers.

671
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 3: Like I don't think Black is gonna be one hundred

672
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: percent snap count guy, you know, and just nose tackles

673
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: all over the place.

674
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: And Harrimon can rush the passer.

675
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 3: What was the question about you.

676
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: Expect offensive line and defensive line picks in next year's draft?

677
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 3: Always?

678
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: I think you take one of each. Something you got

679
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: to hold. You got the eleven picks right now.

680
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: Right always? And I don't know who the left guard

681
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: is next year? Right, I mean see them all lose up?

682
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, one more before we get to a break here.

683
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: If we don't get Rogers to use the cap space

684
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: when it makes sense to front load some contract extensions

685
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: this year and make the first year a higher camp

686
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: hit than usual, then the player will have a lower

687
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: camp hit in later years. I know the usual approach

688
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: is to make the first round cheap. I with the

689
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: cap going up the way that it has so much

690
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: future years, they're not really worried about app stuff in general.

691
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 3: Almost any question cap related. You get rid of Coro Patterson,

692
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: you could restructure some people. There's so much space going forward.

693
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 3: There's a lot of dudes that are on one year deals.

694
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: I mean you could add to something to their deal

695
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: if you fall in love with them in training camp

696
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: or whatever. And Rogers to me, is not a detriment

697
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 3: at all to the cap.

698
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: Really no, and I don't see again, I think they're

699
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: going to Rogers are going to sign.

700
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's not gonna be like a party deal

701
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: that you know, you got a structure.

702
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: Forty million dollar one year deal that you're going to

703
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: have the right. It's not what it's going to be.

704
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 3: No, I don't think it will.

705
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: So.

706
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 3: No, the CAP stuff, none of it really worries me.

707
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: And you can roll it over with your extra stuff, right.

708
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyways, let's get to a break. We'll continue with

709
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: our Twitter ex Twitter questions when we come back. He's

710
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson. I am Dale LOLLI. You're listening to the

711
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network.

712
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williams on

713
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

714
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

715
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: Welcome back on Dale Lowly. He is the Matt Williamson

716
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,959
Speaker 2: and we're rolling for some ex Twitter questions here, and

717
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: Jonathan Mason asked, one of the Steelers going to be

718
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: doing Pittsburgh or the new Steelers going to be in

719
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh doing media stuff? Feels like that's happened by now

720
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 2: in the past. Well, there were plans to do that.

721
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: First round pick Derek Harmon, and while he came to Pittsburgh,

722
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: he was there.

723
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: He.

724
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: Did not do any media that day because obviously his

725
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: mother had died the night before. I was actually supposed

726
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: to sit down with him for an interview on these airwaves,

727
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: and none of that happened.

728
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: He didn't do.

729
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 2: The usual press stuff. They'll yeah, they'll do all that

730
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: stuff starting next weekend with rookie Minnie Camping.

731
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 3: I assume start with all the bigs, right, Okay.

732
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: Michael Odessa says I was a big fan of the

733
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 2: Steelers draft, especially the first two picks, but I'm infused

734
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: by the yay A Black pick, especially after Dunbar spoke

735
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: about the pick. They said he'll play mostly as an end,

736
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: not nose. They then released Montrevius Adams too, who helped

737
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: me make sense of this Who's nose tackle two? Now? Well,

738
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: I think it's the guy that they see from the Patriots, and.

739
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 3: I wouldn't look too much into I mean, obviously Carl

740
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 3: Dunmore and knows way better than us. But I'm sure

741
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 3: Black will line up in the A gaps quite a bit. Yeah,

742
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 3: you know right.

743
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 2: I mean he played basically one last year in Iowa.

744
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: I mean he's been almost head up on a nose

745
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 2: tackle or on the centers as it is plenty.

746
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think he'll be used all over,

747
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't count him. I don't think he's an

748
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 3: be Keys or Aaron Smith.

749
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: Joe mccusic says, does Joey Porter have a legitimate chance

750
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: at the Hall of Fame? I don't think so.

751
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: No, I don't know they would even be a finalist.

752
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: Fin ninety nine career sacks, he needed one more, one more,

753
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: and I think it looks much better to have one

754
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: hundred next year.

755
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so. There's so many good it's

756
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 3: really tough. Yeah, it's really tough.

757
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 2: Jim Hester says, how do you think the Steelers seed

758
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 2: Demarvin Leel as a contributor and where do you see

759
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: him aligning this year? It's a pivotal season for leol. Yeah,

760
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 2: that's I hope healthy to build a build on the

761
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: growth he wanted to showcase from last year. He could

762
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 2: be a nice defensive end depth piece.

763
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 3: He could be. He could be, but he could be

764
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: jack of many trades, master none, not good enough at

765
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: any of them to stick in this league. Yeah, I

766
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 3: think he's one of the hardest guys to talk about

767
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 3: on the whole team.

768
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: He really is. You know, I need to see him

769
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 2: first to see, you know, where's his weight at this hit?

770
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 3: What are they asking him to play at this year?

771
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 2: I think I'll last year in camp he was around

772
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: two eighty five, which is big enough to play end,

773
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: and he was playing he was playing defensive on the

774
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: defensive line last year for them right in camp.

775
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean he can stand up to I know.

776
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all kind of secondary stuff. But he needs

777
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: to make his bones as a defensive And then this ton.

778
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: Of percent And they flirted with Preston Smith too, of

779
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 3: having these lighter, reduced down guys on throwing downs. But

780
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: are you better than Cam Benton and Harmon in those

781
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: right way?

782
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

783
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 3: You don't want to be the third string guy at

784
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 3: that And then what what used to I have for you.

785
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: It's unfortunately he got hurt in camp last year.

786
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: You know, but it's kind of making a break of time.

787
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: No doubt. The question is who do you think the

788
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 2: number one slot cornerback will be this season?

789
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 3: Situational?

790
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: I think it could be situational. I think at the

791
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 2: end of it all, I think Ecchoes gets the most

792
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: snaps in there.

793
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's probably true. I don't think Beanie's

794
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 3: a liability, but I think he is what he is,

795
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 3: seventh round pick factor in there, he makes a team. Yeah.

796
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 3: I think Thornhill will play some slot.

797
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Another question, long time listener, love the show. My

798
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: question is the schedule drops in two weeks. Why do

799
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: you think the Steelers wait until the end of July

800
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 2: to drop their their theme schedule? Why not drop it

801
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 2: at the same time as the schedule so as fans

802
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 2: can get a better handle on maybe what game to attend,

803
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: example like Alumni Weekend, et cetera.

804
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 3: Oh, I said, what's the themes?

805
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, they don't know the schedule. When

806
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: the schedule comes out, it's a surprise to the Steelers

807
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: as well.

808
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: It's probably not even finalized now. They're working on it.

809
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 2: They get to schedule like an hour or two before

810
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: it goes on to TV.

811
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

812
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like they know the schedule. Oh we

813
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 2: can start.

814
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 3: I mean to pull back the curtain. We always do

815
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 3: a schedule release show like the minute it comes out,

816
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 3: and we usually get it like two minutes before we

817
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 3: hit the record, right, Yeah, like I'm looking at the

818
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 3: first time, like, I guess we'll talk about this. There

819
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 3: we go.

820
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 2: You know they get it. I mean within hours of

821
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: it coming out. Yeah, they get it.

822
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 3: And you need to You got to tell the alumni

823
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: when to come in. You need to plan these things.

824
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: All right, what do we got going on this weekend?

825
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 3: How about that weekend? You know, so there is some

826
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 3: planning that does need to be done with it. I

827
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: mean you imagine building the NFL schedule. I mean it

828
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 3: is a massive undertaking, like some of them, you know,

829
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 3: base a stadiums are being used, and what if there's

830
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 3: a playoff game for baseball or what if Springsteen's in

831
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 3: town on a Sunday. Well I gotta be away that week,

832
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 3: you know.

833
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: Jason asked any chance that all the Rogers talk from

834
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: the front office was just a smoke screen for the draft.

835
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: I don't know whether it be smoke screening.

836
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 3: I could see Sanders and Shuck being a smoke screen,

837
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 3: you know that they were not as interested as people think.

838
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't see that as a smoke screen

839
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 2: at all. No.

840
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 3: I think the draft told you that they're going to

841
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: sign an Rogers.

842
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Iron City Beers asked why haven't the Steelers extended

843
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: to Sean Elliott? He's been phenomenal for us. Well, it

844
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 2: might be a good one in camp, it might be

845
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 2: something that they think about. But he's still only been

846
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 2: here for a year, and he's got another year left

847
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: on his deal, so.

848
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 3: Right, I mean he's probably not good enough to be

849
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: a franchise candidate. You know, maybe you do that in

850
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: training camp. Yeah, that's something we could talk about that,

851
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 3: but the timing doesn't work out now. I mean, they

852
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 3: have bigger fish to They're just down the ladder.

853
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Christopher Althar, He asks any chance the Rogers hold

854
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: up was tied to Kirk Cousins issue last year signed

855
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: with the team that drafted a quarterback high like he

856
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 2: wanted to wait until it was over.

857
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 3: I thought about that he might have crossed his mind.

858
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna take him at his word that

859
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 2: he has personal stuff going on.

860
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has to take care of I wouldn't blame

861
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 3: him one bit, to be if they had taken Shador

862
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 3: at twenty one, I wouldn't have been as excited to

863
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 3: join the Steelers.

864
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, I know we were targeting a defensive tackle.

865
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: I listened to the show, but so many national types

866
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: pushed that possibility. Well, they were pushing that possibility because

867
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: they just saw, Hey, the Steelers don't have a quarterback signed.

868
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was in here on a visit and most

869
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: people thought he was the first round talent.

870
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 2: Which wasn't you know, Yeah, the media people thought he

871
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 2: was a talent.

872
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 3: I found it funny. I said this a bunch of

873
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 3: in the draft that so many of the big media

874
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: that cover the league had quarterback in the first round,

875
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 3: but you guys that are there all the time had

876
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 3: d line in the first round. You know.

877
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. Matt Deslee Chico says, has the NFL changed their

878
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: draft philosophy over the last couple of years. It seems

879
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: like quarterback is not a legit first rounder. It's if

880
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: a quarterback is not a legitimate first rounder, they're not

881
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: going to waste the premium two to four round pick

882
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: on them love the show? Well, they still do.

883
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 3: It's not as common as you think.

884
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart went in the first round this year, right,

885
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 2: I did not think Jackson Dart was a first round talent.

886
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: Right. Really, from picks like twenty to forty, there aren't many.

887
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: But this year there was Darton Shock. Yeah, you know,

888
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 3: Levis wasn't that long ago. But the general consensus is

889
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 3: if I think he's the guy, I'm going to get

890
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 3: him and I'm gonna be aggressive. Yeah, but I don't

891
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 3: think he's the guy. I'm gonna wait.

892
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: Cc Ryders is hypothetical. If Rogers doesn't sign. Do you

893
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: think Will Howard eventually surpasses Rudolph this year of the show.

894
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think that happens. That'd be wonderful.

895
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, oh, you'd love for it to have really wow,

896
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 2: but I don't see really tough. Yeah, and t Max

897
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: says Dale, Matt and the boys, you guys getting there,

898
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 2: you go, Thanks for taking my question. Why is Patterson

899
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 2: still on the roster and why not put le Al

900
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 2: purely at defensive tackle? I don't know that they haven't.

901
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 3: I don't know what they've done with leol again, I'd

902
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 3: like to see what he weighs in at, what he

903
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 3: looks like, where he's running around.

904
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 2: I mean, remember he didn't play at all last year.

905
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: In fact, if he got hurt in training camp. When

906
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 2: he got hurt last year, they listed him as a

907
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: defensive tackle.

908
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 3: Did that Okay?

909
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: I believe so, because that's where he had That's where

910
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: he had been lining up.

911
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 3: At lest they drafted him. Matt, you know the other

912
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 3: stuff was, like you said, it's kind of the cherry

913
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: on top. I'm a little shock Patterson still on the roster.

914
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not sure that he's going to get

915
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 3: cut at this point. Yeah, I've thought all along that

916
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 3: was a no brainer, but I think, you know, I mean,

917
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 3: it could happen. You don't need the money.

918
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 2: It could happen at the end of training camp. They

919
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: don't need the money. They could take a look at

920
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 2: him say okay, what's it look like now. And we

921
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: don't know what the conversation was at the end of

922
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 2: the year. Did they say, hey, you need to get lighter,

923
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: you need to do this, you need to do that.

924
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

925
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 3: Truthfully, I don't expect them to be on the opening

926
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 3: day roster.

927
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: I don't know that.

928
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 3: I know still on the right, so maybe there's more

929
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 3: to that.

930
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see, you know, in terms of all that stuff,

931
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: let's see if we have anything else on here. I

932
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 2: don't think that we do. I think that's all the

933
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 2: We got through all the Twitter questions. How about that

934
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,760
