1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio's Welcome Back to the Drive. I'm 3 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson and Matt nick Shook 4 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. Uh. Came up with I looked 5 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: at the next gen stats and came up with the 6 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: top ten quarterbacks under pressure in I saw this list 7 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: and I thought it was really informative and a little surprising, 8 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: you know, in a positive way for some too. So 9 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: let's just buzz through it. Okay, So number ten last 10 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: year was justin Herbert. His passer rating when under pressure 11 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: was eighty six point nine. His completion percentage was fifty 12 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: five point nine. Uh. And then they have CPO c 13 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: p O e umnless. Sure I understand what c POE is. 14 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: That is the I'm racking my brain what I would 15 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: call that, But real quick on Herbert, maybe you can 16 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: dig that up. I'm looking here, and I'm a rarity 17 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: for rookies. Herbert did really well under pressure, but his 18 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: clean pocket numbers were just okay, you know, so he 19 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: did the hard stuff, you know, which is rare for rookies. Um. 20 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: He is a very cool, calm demeanor. And even though 21 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: that he performed really well under pressure. The Chargers still 22 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: went out and added three big time lineman. You know, 23 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: so it's a good shape. Yeah, I'm not seeing here 24 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: what c p o E means. C p o E. 25 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: You know, completion percentage. That's okay, we figured it out. 26 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: So most people under those circumspects the stances complete x 27 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: percent doesn't sound like that high. A complete down, Yeah, 28 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: when you've got somebody in your face, that's a little different. 29 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: Number nine was Derek Carr. His passer rating was seventy 30 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: seven point two. His completing percentage was fifty three point five. 31 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: That was plus two point three over expectation. He's the 32 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,839 Speaker 1: one that is extremely interesting to me because that's never 33 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: been his has never been his bag at all. I mean, 34 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: even if Fresno State, I think he's a first round 35 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: pick instead of a second round pick if he hangs 36 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: in the pocket and deals with pressure better um and 37 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: all through his career. That's why the Raiders put so 38 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: much money into offensive lineman. I'm not sure why they 39 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: blew the line up this off season, but that's a 40 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: totally different because they feel like maybe because last year 41 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: his passer rating under pressure was one or three point 42 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: seven really good. Yeah, which was actually higher than his 43 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: normal Yeah. Wow, that surprised him. He had a great year. 44 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: I really think he's come into his own and typical 45 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: Gruden fashion, they don't see him a percent sold on 46 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: the guy. He to me. Steeler fans hate hearing this. 47 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: He might be a really good candidate too. He had. 48 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: You know, the Raiders are six and eleven. Next year, 49 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: they have the eighth pick in the draft. They want 50 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback, We'll give you a second rounder for car 51 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: You know, like he's somewhere between the tenth and thirteenth 52 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league in my opinion. She's getting 53 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: better with his week and maybe even chrange a little bit, 54 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: and he's kind of in his prime and he's getting 55 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: better at his weaknesses. Number eight Josh Allen passer rating 56 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: of seventy nine point six complecent percentage of fifty three 57 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: point two percent. That's four point four percent over expectation. 58 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: You see those percentages as those passer ratings seventy nine six. 59 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: If your quarterback had a seventy nine point six over 60 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: the course of the season, you're like, oh, he had 61 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: a bad year. But this is pressure is so important. 62 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely I mean that's why the Steeler defense started to 63 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: play against because the opponent is completing a much lower 64 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: percentage of the passes because they're under pressure all the 65 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: time and the bar is much lower. Unlike car For sure, 66 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of Allan's came later in the down, 67 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: maybe in a bend like fashion his younger days. Shrug 68 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: a guy off, rollout, you know, extend the play that's 69 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: promising for him. To number seven, here's when you definitely 70 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: wouldn't think of Matt Ryan. Yeah, eight two point three 71 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: passer rating, a fifty six point one complete percentage, just 72 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: plus four point five. What's interesting is if you read 73 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: that he's always at the top of that list, like 74 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: that's one thing he's always done well because he's always 75 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: under pressure to pressure. A lot doesn't get out of 76 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: the way particularly well. Their lines haven't been great, but 77 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: he does it really, really well. And I think his 78 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: toughness is really underrated over his career, and a lot 79 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: of that's knowing where to go with the football question 80 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: when they get when they're coming without a question. Uh 81 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: number six, Andy Dalton, Yeah, I mean good for him. 82 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: I mean, small sample size. He didn't throw a whole 83 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: lot of passes and he completed fifty nine point seven 84 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: under pressure. Yeah. I mentioned in a previous show, I 85 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: was kind of digging into average depth of targets and whatnot. 86 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: This this past couple of days, Dalton's was really low, 87 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: which for just getting rid of the football. Yeah, with 88 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: the weapons Dallas has, that's unacceptable to you know. Number 89 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: five Ben Roethless Burn. How about that the completion percentage 90 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: of fifty seven point seven percent, he was plus four 91 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: point nine. Yeah, I mean it was fifth or six 92 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: in the league under pressure And people are probably like, 93 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: he was never under pressure, he's got the ball out. 94 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: He still was. I mean he qualifies for this. I 95 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: mean they allowed pressure. I mean he handles it very well. 96 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: He's still very tough. He knows where things are coming from. Uh. 97 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: I was a little shocked he was on this list 98 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: this past year, to be honest with you. But it's 99 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: a feather in his cap. I mean that's pretty impressive. Yeah. 100 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: Um just took just thirteen sacks last year. Uh, this 101 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: is a quarterback stat at least as much as the block. Yeah, 102 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: at least half of those are are on are on 103 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback in many cases and sometimes more. And I 104 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: think in a case of like at the Shawn Watson 105 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: running around back there, and you know you run yourself 106 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: out of some sacks, which you're on yourself into some 107 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: as well. I'd have to reread it. But I also 108 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: think he had very This will shock people. Very few 109 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: negative plays went under pressure because a lot of people, 110 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you throw more picks when under pressure. I know, 111 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: been through some picks last year, but it wasn't necessarily 112 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: because people are bearing diald. I mean, he did really 113 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: well in those crucial situations that Roethlisberger attempted a hundred 114 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: eleven passes under pressure, which is the fifth highest total 115 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: lot on the list. Yeah right, I mean I know 116 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: they throw a lot, but you're still under pressure on 117 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: re step drops and not everything is the three steps. 118 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: He only had one interception. That's pretty a hundred eleven 119 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: past attempts when he was under pressure. Wow, So he 120 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: can still get that done. So people when people were 121 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: concerned about the offensive line this year, like oh they're 122 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: not gonna block as well, he's overcome that his whole career. 123 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: Right now. Maybe he doesn't escape like he used to. 124 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: It's a different style, but thirty nine year old Ben 125 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: knows where the ball where to go with the football 126 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: more so than twenty six year old Ben did. And 127 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: I firmly believe that nause Ebron friar Muth. Those four 128 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: receivers we just talked about, if two of them have 129 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: single coverage against blitz and pressure, you're gonna like your results. 130 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? No, I agree. Number four 131 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. That's a rating of nine two point six 132 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: under pressure. Uh, completion percentage is only forty seven percent, 133 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: but that was thirty three plus three point eight percent 134 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: over the norm because he just goes down the field, 135 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: goes out of field with it right and he uh 136 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: he always is in that neighborhood. Had thirteen point one 137 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: air yards per attempt when he was under pressure, the 138 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: second most in the league. That's really yeah, I'll wow, 139 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: that's a big, big number. It says a lot about 140 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: him though. Uh. Number three, you wouldn't expect this one 141 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: was Lamar Jackson. I think that says a lot about him. 142 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: UH six passer rating a fifty five point six complecent percentage. Um, 143 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: I just wonder, ah his he led the league with 144 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: ten point five yards per attempt when under pressure in 145 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: the second half or overtime of games, he was more 146 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: willing to kind of run around instead of just running 147 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: look to throw the football down the field. I bet 148 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: a high percentage of them by Raven standards, they were 149 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: tied or losing. Yeah, because they've had such success with 150 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: the leads. I bet you know those were not desperation times, 151 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: but and playing a little out of their comfort zone. 152 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: All that being said, it worries me from a Steeler's 153 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: perspective that if he gets average wide receiver play, people 154 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: might realize he's a pretty capacitor. And in the foundational things, 155 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: I mean, a big thing about Lamarrow say is I 156 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: certainly think there's some prejudice there with the style of 157 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: quarterback he is that oh he can't be accurate, but 158 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: when he misses, he misses really missing. You know, it's 159 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: kind of the Josh Allen thing when two years ago 160 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen missed like that is ugly, he would 161 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: miss ugly. Whisky is the same way these guys, because 162 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: they don't get defeat set. They don't get defeat set 163 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: and sales one or bounces one but still counts the same. 164 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: In the end, is an incomplete pass unless you throw 165 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: it high over the middle, right, Yeah. Number two, And 166 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: this one doesn't surprise me. Russell Wilson, No, And he's 167 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: dealt with pressure his whole life. And again the completion 168 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: percentage is not great forty seven point five. But he 169 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: goes down the field, stands the plays and it kindly 170 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: ben late in his career. Abut throws his hand up. 171 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: We gonna running late. Take a shot Number one, Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah, 172 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: point six percent passer rating when under pressure, that was 173 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: the highest in the league. Sixty two point one completion percentage, 174 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: which was the highest in the league. I went under 175 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: pressure in a really good year. I'm hesitant to say 176 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: that I don't trust right, right, I mean, I know 177 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: he's been around the block to eight times. Maybe he's 178 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: figured it out, or maybe I only think he threw 179 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: like four passes last year, and there's part of that 180 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: could be part of it. Two. You hit a couple 181 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: of good, big ones, and maybe you just put it 182 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: all together in one year and it's you know, somewhat 183 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: of an aberrations of the backslast year too. They did 184 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: in Giseki. You know, Yeah, without question, he had a 185 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: really good year from Miami. I think that will go 186 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: down in the best year of his career. Problem and 187 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't that great. Still was just okay? Uh moving on, 188 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: Mike Clay ranked the offseason's top twenty five biggest position upgrades. 189 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: Now this isn't including rookies in the group. Oh, this 190 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: is just veteran players moving to a new team wopping out. Okay, 191 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: so let's run these down before you do. I mean, 192 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say there's no Steelers there 193 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: are no there's no Steals because running back would be 194 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: on the list. But if we're not including rookies. But 195 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: I think there's a chance the old line is an upgrade. 196 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: There's a chance, you know, there's a chance. But if 197 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: we look back at this after seventeen games and say 198 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: what spots were upgraded from a year ago, I think 199 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: old line has a chance to be on that list. 200 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: Number twenty five the Arizona Cardinals. Rodney Hudson replaces Mason Cole. 201 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: That's big, that's that should be higher high. Yeah. I 202 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: know he's up in age, but that's he's relacing replacing 203 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: Mason Cole. Right, Mason Cole wouldn't start right now for 204 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: the Steelers. No, No, I still the Cutson's the top 205 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: five or six center to number twenty four The Cleveland Browns. 206 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: Troy Hill replaces Terence Mitchell. Yeah, I mean that should 207 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: be in that neighborhood. It's an upgrade. Number twenty three. 208 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: The Las Vegas Raiders, Casey Hayward and Ruzal Douglas replaced 209 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: Nevin Lawson and LaMarcus Joiner. I can't get real behind 210 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: that one. It's a real low bar to go up from. 211 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: But Stacy Hayward wasn't super last year, and the Douglas 212 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: he's been he struggling for much of his career. Yeah, 213 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the new 214 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: guys there. Yeah, that's just shuffling chairs. Number twenty two. 215 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't know about this one either. Minnesota Vikings, Patrick 216 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: Peterson and Mackenzie Alexander replaced Jeff Gladney and Mike Hughes. 217 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: Gladney wasn't terrible, Peterson was awful. Last year was bad. 218 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: They have a lot of young corners. I don't know 219 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: that that's a massive upgrade. I mean, you'd hope they'll 220 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: be healthier. They had a lot of the interests on 221 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: that side of the ball. H Number twenty one, Carl 222 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Lawson for the Jets replaces Torrell Basham. That's a big 223 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: one is in the mix. He's still a young guy, 224 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's not like he's gone. Yeah, I mean, 225 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: Lawson is what they needed. I don't agree with this 226 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: one either. Number twenty Cleveland Browns Jadeveon Clowney replaces Olivier Vernon. 227 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: That might be a watch. Did Mike watch the second 228 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: half of last season when Olivia Vernham was the Browns 229 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: best defensive player? Yeah, I say vernhim is good. He's consistent. 230 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: Clowney is not consistent. Here's the thing, Like he has 231 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: a stat line for these guys at their computer models. 232 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: Spit out so Vernon thirty six tackles and nine sacks. 233 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: His production for Clowney is forty two tackles and six 234 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: point four sacks. How is that an upgrade? Yeah, it's 235 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: not value. It's the typical clowning conversation. Always have first 236 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: overall pick. Looks like the Predator has some great players 237 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: here and there, but what about the downplays? Yeah? I 238 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: don't know. Shock Vernon's not signed somewhere. I know there's 239 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: an injury, but yeah, it was an achilles injury and 240 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: late in the years. That's that's a big one. Number 241 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: nineteen Washington football team Ryan Fitzpatrick replaces Alex Smith. Agree. 242 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: You know, we just talked about Fitzpatrick, but I thought 243 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: they were the worst quarterback team in the league last year, 244 00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: and the includes Haskins. Uh. Number eighteen. Philadelphia safety Anthony 245 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: Harris replaces Jalen Mills. They were really bad at safety 246 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: last year. Mills is really a corner corner. Number seventeen 247 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: the Ravens Kevin Zeitler replaces Ben Powers. I think that's 248 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: pretty clear. Once again, though, I look at the stat 249 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: line here how they do offensive line stat Uh, they're 250 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: using belief? Are they using PF grades? So Powers PF 251 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: grades were h p B w R. I'm assuiting assuming 252 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: block win rate in a se run block win Greate 253 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: does sounds so bad for fifty nine p F grade, Okay, 254 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: which I'm not sure why that adds up. Yeah, I 255 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: don't know. Question question because his stat line for Zeitler 256 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: is a past win rate seventy run win rate, which 257 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: are both lower, but but a sixty six PF grade. 258 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: This is why, folks, the PF grades are ridiculous, especially 259 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: for Lineman. Yeah, I mean, Zeitler is the better player. 260 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: Like as SUSI said that, I was like, I'd rather Zitler. 261 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: They really missed Johnda. Zightler's a quality guard. Um. I 262 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: still think it's an upgrade, but that's not the best 263 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: proof of no proof, right yeah. Um, the New England 264 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: Patriots Kyle van Noy, Matt jude On, Henry Anderson, and 265 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: Dovin Godshaw replace John Simon, Shalik Calhoun, Adam Butler, and 266 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: Byron Cowart. Well, that's definitely an upgrade. Definitely an upgrade. 267 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: I don't know how I mean, because that the first 268 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: group combined or that the group they're replacing combined for 269 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: a hundred thirty two tackles and seven sacks last season. 270 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: That's the whole d Lin, that's the whole Dalon. Right. Wow, 271 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: the projection is a hundred and eighty six tackles in 272 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: fifteen points six sacks, right right, there's nowhere to go 273 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: but up. Yeah, I mean you can still have the 274 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: It's kind of like saying that, you know, if we're 275 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: if we're to include Nase Harrison here and say he's 276 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: an upgrade for the Steelers running game because the other 277 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: guys were terrible, so bad. There's certainly some examples of 278 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: that here those radar corners and you know some of 279 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: those spots. Yeah, there's just new guys. They're they're better. Yeah, 280 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: you're just not they aren't you. I know, you're terrible. 281 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try. I'm gonna go door. Number two. Uh, 282 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: fifteen Miami Dolphins. Bernardrick McKinney replaces Landon Roberts. Okay, that 283 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: wasn't under the radar trade with the Texans McKinney for 284 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: the other losson Um Okay, I mean I don't know 285 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: that would have made my list, but fine. Uh. Number 286 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: fourteen Washington football team. Curtis Samuel replaces Cam Sims. Simms 287 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: wasn't bad. He's a nice fine, but they now have 288 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: a true number two receiver. Yeah, and if you could 289 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: include Thomas and you know, three legit pass catchers, and 290 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: then they draft you know, Dedomy Brown Brown too, so 291 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: they got weapons there. Number thirteen New York Giants Dorry 292 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: Jackson replaces Isaac hum The Adam's really bad, but they 293 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: paid a lot for Jenkins or for Jackson, and he's 294 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: been extremely up. And I mean Titans cut him, right, 295 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,239 Speaker 1: They didn't trade him. He was rookie deal. They caught him. 296 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: They didn't pick up his option options. That would rather 297 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: play against you than with He's talented, but he's really 298 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: up and down. We kind of said that when they 299 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: drafted him though, like, you know, inconsistent, a little bit smaller. Yeah. 300 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: Number twelve, will Fuller replaces Preston Williams. That's to me 301 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: is kind of a wait and see because what what 302 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: will full are you getting? Right, he's already spending are 303 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: getting five games a will Fuller like that the Texans 304 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: got on a pretty regular basis, or or you're getting 305 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: the healthy version you saw last year that got suspended 306 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: for p E. D S. Maybe that helped him healthy, 307 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: you know, just saying, couldn't you say that in Preston 308 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: Williams missed a lot of time last year he did. 309 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: I like Williams. I think he's a quality player. Um 310 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: Fuller next to Waddle is going to be interesting though. 311 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: If if two will throw deep deep right Denver Broncos, 312 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller and Ronald Darby replaced Michael Osamuda, Moodia and 313 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: a J Bow. That's awesome. Oh, by the way, Patrick 314 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: certains in that base too, like they have four corners 315 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: now that certain picks odd, but um, they were good 316 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: there before they took the second corner off the board. 317 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: Number ten, which is this is really weird because these 318 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: are back to back and it involves the same guy, 319 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: William Jackson. This is for Washington. William Jackson replaces Ronald Darby, 320 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: who is an upgrade for the Broncos. But Washington is 321 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: upgrading from Jackson is an upgrade over the upgrade. Yeah, 322 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: I don't disagree with it because Darby's not the only 323 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: one on that list for Denver. You know, some other 324 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: guys have some weight there. I think Jackson's a really 325 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: good player, and almost you had him and Jamon Davis 326 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: to that redskin or Washington defense. You got something there. 327 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: That's why you know, there have been a couple of 328 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: people who said, you know that the Bengals are a 329 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: team to watch, might finish ahead of the Steelers this year. 330 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 1: They lost some good guys. William Jackson might have been 331 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: their best defensive player, and we already mentioned Lawson, Yeah, 332 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: might have been. You could Those are one and two, right, 333 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: and Bates is the other one who's fine, But where's 334 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: the star power? I think he got worse with two spots, 335 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: and it costs your money to do it. Yeah, I 336 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: don't love their defense at all. Uh. Number nine Minnesota Vikings. 337 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: Dalvin Tomlinson replaces Shamar Stephen and oh, by the way, 338 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: pierced the big dude from his back. Yeah, I don't 339 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: know how much he equated the COVID dude. So they 340 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: got a lot of beef in the middle, which they've 341 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: always had since the Williams Walls. You know, that's just 342 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: how they're structured up there. Fits, it fits Las Vegas 343 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: Raiders Yannick and dock Way replaces Art and Key. It's better. 344 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if the dock Way is 345 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: worth the sixteen million or whatever. He signed for a 346 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: lot of money, but he doesn't have to do much 347 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: to be better. Key had fifteen tackles and no sacks 348 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: lash right right. If he's the key, the door is 349 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: not getting unlocked. That doors shut. So in the dock 350 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: Way matches with Max Crosby and gives them what you 351 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: would hope at least as average edge pass rush, which 352 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: they have not had. Number seven for the Giants, Kenny 353 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: Golladay replaces Golden Tate very different style receivers, but on 354 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: the depth chart, yeah, he replaces Well, it takes your 355 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: slot receiver. Golliday's not gonna lap us alot at all. 356 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: No UM. And then they use first round pick also 357 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: a wide receiver. So I mean they who will line 358 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: up and will line up at the slot um and 359 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: no one's picking up tight. I mean his days are over, 360 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: so okay, Yeah, I think Goliday is a little overrated. 361 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: I think he's great, but is he a eighteen million 362 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: type of guy? I love that. I'm gonna about that either. 363 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: Kansas City chiefs were Lando Brown and Joe Thuney replaced 364 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: Eric Fisher and Nick Oligretty. To say, the whole line, yeah, 365 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's not the only move they made. That 366 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: line is going to be totally different. Maybe four new 367 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: starters when you factor and Creed Humphrey and uh tardif 368 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: who comes back from uh Met. You know, the COVID 369 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: opt out two new tackles that they cut their top guys. 370 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: I think they're on line might be the most improved 371 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: unit in the whole league. Yeah, and we know it wasn't. 372 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: I mean we saw it on its worst day in 373 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl too. I mean that those are all 374 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: bad definitely, and people remember that that's not what they're 375 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: trotting out week one. Number five the Patriots Jonas Smith 376 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: and Hunter Henry replaced Ryan is Odevin Asciassi, and Dalton Keene. 377 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: It's hard to argue with that. Again, this is the 378 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: same thing with their defensive line. You guys just aren't 379 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: them now. These guys are better players. Keenan OSSOSSI were 380 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: like third and fourth round picks last year. Rookie tight 381 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: ends don't do anything terrible offense. Yeah, they have two 382 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: legit dudes now, but they also paid out the nose 383 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: to get them. Yeah. I mean, if you factor in 384 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: the cost, that's not a good value. That's not a 385 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: good value, right um. Number four the Chargers Corey Linsley 386 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: replaces Dan Phoenie. That's big. Yeah, I mean that he 387 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: might be the best center in the league. You got 388 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: a factor in Mike Councy. I guess a little bit too, 389 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: because he was on the team, but hurt Um, they 390 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: had a center plan. Pouncy couldn't stay healthy, retires with 391 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: his brother of course, but then no, by the way, 392 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: you pick up Filer, who's either gonna be a right 393 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: tackle or a guard for you and Slater in the 394 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: first round. I mean the old line in general, I 395 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: would includ draft if I would was to redo this, 396 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: I would include draft picks. I know you're not knowing 397 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: what you're gonna get pretty clear, the Charger's line is 398 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: better than last year on papers. This is once again 399 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: where I don't understand the PFF grades. Phoenie's grades were 400 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: eighty eight percent as a run blocker. Sixty I'm sorry 401 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: eight percent is a pass blockers as a run blocker, 402 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: which worked out to a forty four p F grade, 403 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: which is really low. Lindsley stat line was as a 404 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: pass blocker, seventy sent as a run blocker, and somehow 405 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: that works out to a nine. I say he was 406 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: number one, I think in their center, right. Don't you 407 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: think that that number would balance somewhere in between. It 408 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't be I wouldn't be best and worst in the 409 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: league just off those two numbers. No, that's I don't 410 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: understand that much of what else factors in besides run 411 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: blocking and pass blocking. There's not a lot else. Uh. 412 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: Number three John Johnson, This is for the Browns. John 413 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: Johnson replaces Anderson Sendejo. Well, we talked a lot about 414 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: during the season that their middle of the field defense 415 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: was really bad, their safety and stuff, those injuries. Delpit 416 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: and those guys safeties and linebackers were very exposed last year, 417 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: so now they got legit. I mean, Sendejo is bad. 418 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: There's no defense, right, but the people projecting the Browns 419 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: defense or projecting that guys like Delpit are actually is 420 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: going to be good players. Delpat wasn't a good player 421 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: his last year at l s U, No, right, he 422 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: that was his projection off of what he had done 423 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: his junior year and not senior year, missed a lot 424 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: of tackles. Um. Yeah. Going into his final season at 425 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: l s U, he was like on all the way 426 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: too early draft list top ten, easily the best safety. 427 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: He fell to the second round because miserable year. So 428 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: it's three years since he's been good. Number two the Rams, 429 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford replaces Jared goff couldn't agree more. I mentioned 430 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: earlier I was fiddling with average depth of targets and 431 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: things like that. Goffs was really low, yeah, and Staffords 432 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: was at least above average. That had to make McVeigh 433 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: bonkers and the number one offseason upgrade of the year. 434 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: According to Mike Clay, I'm thinking I should know this 435 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: off the top of my head, and I'm not sure. 436 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: J J. Watt replaces Zach Allen for the Cardinals. I 437 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: don't know if i'd put that int number one. Be 438 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: fun to watch. Chandler Jones returns, Who's awesome, and I 439 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: assume he'll still be awesome. Um, okay, I mean j 440 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: J is still really good. Yeah, he he ain't JJ 441 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: that from five years ago. If they use them properly 442 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: and uh limit his snaps a little bit, kick him 443 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: inside at times, that's great. Yeah. The Cardinals are interesting 444 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 1: to me because they added some dudes, but they're all 445 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: old Yeah, I mean screaming Yeah, tough division. That's coaches 446 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: in the hot seat all of a sudden. We need 447 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: to get a spark out of a J. Green and 448 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: Hudson and you know, JJ and these guys, which isn't 449 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: necessarily a bad strategy. But I liked the team better 450 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: in two thousand fifteen than I do. Now here's someone's 451 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: that that didn't make the cut but are in the 452 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: honorable mention. Jacksonville. Shaquille Griffin replaces Sidney Jones. Okay, and 453 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: they drafted a corner the Jets. Corey Davis replaces Brashad Perriman. 454 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: That's pretty clear upgrade. I like Perriman a little bit, 455 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: but that's pretty clear upgrade. Carolina Hassan Reddick replaces Stephen 456 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: Weatherly alright had abust six games career. Cincinnati Riley Reef 457 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: replaces Bobby Hart. You would think that goes from terrible 458 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: to average. Is what they're shooting for there, which is 459 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: what they're shooting for their lying across the board. Seattle, 460 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson replaces Jordan Simmons. Yeah, I mean that was 461 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: another one of the cases of just a really their 462 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: interior was really bad, and their center six situation is 463 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: not great right now either. San Francisco Alex Mac replaces 464 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: Daniel Brunskill at center. I'm not sure that is. Mac 465 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: might be shot. He's a really good fit there, and 466 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: Shanahan knows him from their Atlanta days, and certainly those 467 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: veteran centers bring a lot to the table, but he 468 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: might be done. Washington, Charles Lenno replaces Cornelius Lucas at 469 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: offensive tackle. Yeah, I mean, Lucas is the was the 470 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: one problem area, and then they drafted. Caused me find 471 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: Leno after that and released Moses, but I'd be nice 472 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: to keep all of them. Carolina Denzel Perryman replaces to 473 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: hear Whitehead. Okay, I've always been a Perryman guy, but 474 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm a Perriman guy. Now. He's 475 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: been five years ago. I was. Yeah, he's Vince Williams, 476 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: and he's you'd love to have him. He's a leader, 477 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: he's tough, he's physical, but he had been better twenty 478 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: years ago. Patriots Nelson Aguilar replaces Damian Bird or Demir Bird. 479 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's an upgrade. It's an upgrade. I would 480 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: have looked. I would aim a little higher for the receivers, 481 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: especially what they paid for receivers and Golladay aside. Receivers 482 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: did not get paid well on the open market, and 483 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: New England overpaid one. On Day one, early early Detroit, 484 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: Michael Brocker's replaces Danny Shelton, the defensive tackle. They got 485 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: Brockers for free because the Rams are a little cash 486 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: draft and had a little connection there, and then they 487 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: drafted to defensive tackles in the second and third round. 488 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: Can the City Giron Reid replaces Tershawn Wharton. That's an 489 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: underrated pick up. I like read a lot. He had 490 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: a good, strong career for Seattle. Seems to be getting better. 491 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: He's a nice pickup. I mean you you team him 492 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: with Namdi who's the nose tackle type, and Chris Jones, 493 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: and he's sort of in the middle of those two. Um. 494 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: I think reads he was the guy kind of looked 495 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: after the Steelers before a Lulu signed as he could 496 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: be their version of their new version of a nose 497 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: that it brings more the table. That yeah, I said 498 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: the same thing. Yeah, we talked about him. Houston slot 499 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: cornerback Desmond King replaces Eric Murray. That's I think that's 500 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: another case. So Murray just not being stinks. Yeah. Uh. 501 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Marvin Jones replaces Keeling Cole. I didn't think Cole was. 502 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: I think he's a replacement level player and Jones is 503 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: perennially underrated. Las Vegas Kenyan Drake's replaces Jalen Richard. Okay, 504 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: but it's six million a year, right, and the final 505 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: one is Carolina de Kwon. Jones replaces is Bravey and 506 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: Roy that like Jones, he's another one to kind of 507 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: fit that mold from me. You could have been a 508 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: Steelers nose of today. So interesting. None of the Steelers 509 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: players who left mentioned on that. No, I mean maybe 510 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,719 Speaker 1: if Nelson signs with Arizona could be in that conversation. 511 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: Some of that was really bad. At corner, I was thinking, 512 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: but no, I mean, they didn't mention Filer, even though 513 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: they mentioned Lindsay, right, you know, bud Pre was not mentioned. 514 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: Budd Pre was not mentioned, and there could have been. 515 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: I mean, their past probably probably should have been. Yeah, 516 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: but you give someone seventeen million or whatever he's getting, 517 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: you would hope you would think it's an upgrade, right, Yeah, 518 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: but that's gonna do it for this segment. So former 519 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: partner Matt Williamson for Jacob here on site, keeping us 520 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: on the air.
