00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: Williams, it is time with Fantasy Football Focus.

5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 3: Bringing on yesterday because of all the roster cut news

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: and all the other stuff that was happening with the

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 3: show Digain, but let's dig in here today. I thought

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: we'd look at some uh the latest news from around

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 3: the league here.

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: As we get ready for this is a big draft weekend.

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 4: Oh, it's huge draft weekend.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 4: I'm actually going away doing ours Saturday, and then you

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 4: and I are in the league on Sunday. And that's

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 4: my only two re draft leagues.

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: You you drew the third pick in our league. I

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: drew the eighth pick.

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. So I don't think we're gonna snipe each other

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 4: too much.

20
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Pretty sure we're the opposite ends

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: of the spectrum.

22
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 4: Happy with eight, Not really, I wouldn't be. I'm happy

23
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: with three. Eight's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough.

24
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 4: You mean you'll like your second round pick, but then

25
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 4: you got a long wait.

26
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: And all that good stuff.

27
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh yeah, with the twelve team league gets a

28
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 3: little bit of a way too. Taekwon Thornton with New

29
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: England expected to be placed on IR. He's dealing with

30
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 3: a shoulder injury every once in a while. You hear, Well,

31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: they really like Typewon Thornton. He really something dynamic to

32
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: their offense with speed, with his speed, they have no

33
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: speed at the on the outside.

34
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: And he's a little fragile and smaller too. I don't

35
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: think he ever projects as a every down player, Like

36
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 4: I remember when we did draft shows. Boy, he'd be

37
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: a nice pick in the fourth or fifth round for

38
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 4: the Steelers. They take him a second. Yeah, I don't

39
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: understand what they do in that front office right now.

40
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, nor do I. And because they.

41
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 4: Spend a lot of money and resources but don't doing

42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: a lot of chopping. Boy, but eight no chips are.

43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: Flying, Bill Belichick, the GM should probably be fired lacking.

44
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

45
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

46
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: Kyle Phillips with the Tennessee Titans with that knee injury

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: was placed on injury reserve today as well.

48
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: Okay, so he's on the short term one.

49
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: Well, they just call it injured reserve.

50
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't have to designate them to come back

51
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: until after four weeks and then you designate.

52
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: But he made the fifty three. Yeah, okay, so you

53
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 4: can be going on today. It doesn't mean there's.

54
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: Anybody that goes on now can be brought back and

55
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: that's that's what.

56
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 4: You've got to hold him for that day. Yeah, and

57
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: cut somebody else. Khalil need him late in the year.

58
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 3: But yeah, Khalil Shakir with the rib injury was back

59
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: practicing today for the Buffalo Bills.

60
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: That's a messy situation though. Yeah, they don't seem to

61
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 4: really be set on their third wide out.

62
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: Really would have thought by now he would have taken

63
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: that job over and it hasn't happened.

64
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 4: They like what Sherfield. There's another name in the mix too,

65
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: and plus Kincaid's going to line up in the slot

66
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 4: a lot too, So I can where do you Kinkaid?

67
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 4: In the tight end world? Like I try to avoid

68
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 4: fifty tight ends? Yeah, I mean I was just looking

69
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 4: at last night. There's eleven tight ends that I would

70
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 4: feel comfortable with, and one of them is like Nadjoku

71
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: and Chig. I mean they're like, that's not super C's

72
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: not super comfortable, and I Kate is my twelve, but

73
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: I don't want him as my starter.

74
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, absolute little SI. I mean he's

75
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: the guy that you take it, you take, after you

76
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: take I'm more established after you take a chig or

77
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 3: you know, and hope that.

78
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: He, yeah, is better than that.

79
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: I don't have Schultz in my top twelve. Almost everyone

80
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 4: else does.

81
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: I think you should.

82
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: I just don't you hate the player.

83
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: I get it, but all he does is catch touchdowns.

84
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: I know new team worries me, but.

85
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: Rookie quarterbacks love tight ends, I know.

86
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: And he'll get drafted and won't be by me, and

87
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 4: I'll be happy when he goes, and therefore I'll get

88
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: the joker or whatever.

89
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: I'd rather have Dalton Schultzan than Joko, Yeah, most would.

90
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: They're playing in the same offense.

91
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: I know. I know you liking Joku, you have to

92
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: like Schultz. With tight ends, I always go and there

93
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: are a few a mouse to feed in Houston. I

94
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: just don't think he's very talented.

95
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: I think he's a very It's all about volume.

96
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: I know.

97
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: It's all about opportunities, and he has the opportunities. They

98
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: don't have anybody else like who's there, who's their number

99
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: one receiver?

100
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: You think he might leave the team at target. He might,

101
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: I mean he might, he might.

102
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: I mean he's got his clear cut shut he's got

103
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: a better shot at doing it than jig or or

104
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: or in Djoku.

105
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. I just think both those guys steelings higher are.

106
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: They if they don't get the targets?

107
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: Say they aren't, Oh, I'll target both of them. Well,

108
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: don't know, I'll target chig.

109
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: He might he might maybe, Yeah, because they don't want

110
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: to throw the football.

111
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 4: So by that means you would have Higbee highering those guys.

112
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 4: So I think Higby and Schultz are like the same guy.

113
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: Higby doesn't score, but he's the number two target on

114
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: the team.

115
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: It's like fine pretty clearly.

116
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he doesn't really want to either.

117
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: I don't either.

118
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of tight ends that we don't want, zach

119
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 3: Ertz is notty lock for week one.

120
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: I think, I mean, don't you have to use McBride

121
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: a lot? I mean, like, is that offense unusable? Now? Yes?

122
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: I mean it's Josh Dobbs.

123
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: I don't even know if I don't even people are talking,

124
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 3: you know, like every time I do a mock draft,

125
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: run a mock draft, James Connor staring me in the

126
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: face and you know.

127
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: He could get the ball.

128
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: They're gonnacore about one hundred and fifty points this year.

129
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: Right, They're gonna be three and out all the time.

130
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: I mean, if you draft Connor, you're just hoping a

131
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: running back gets hurt in Buffalo or something they trade for.

132
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all I can.

133
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: See him moving, or like Marky's Brown or Rondell Moore.

134
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: They may catch a hundred bubble screens, but.

135
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, six for forty seven doesn't do you any good.

136
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: They're never gonna get in the end zone. I mean,

137
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: you talk about a team that is tanking. Yeah, and

138
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 4: the quarterback situation is just so horrible that the offense

139
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: is unusable one.

140
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: Del Robinson was activated off the pup list on Tuesday.

141
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: He hopes to suit up Week one versus the Cowboys.

142
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: He's one of my guys still. I mean, I don't

143
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: think he's draftable in a typical twelve team league, but

144
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 4: he'll be on my short rollodex to pay attention to

145
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: after a couple of weeks because I think they like

146
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 4: him a lot.

147
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: There's a lot of missed the entire offseason, so he

148
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 3: didn't get that time to work with Daniel Jones yeah,

149
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: but he could.

150
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: Be Welker esque in terms of a lot of targets

151
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: short stuff.

152
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but as is the case with the Giants wide receivers,

153
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: you hold your breath every time they put step foot

154
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: on the field, Like, is this the play he's going to.

155
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 4: Get hurt on? And even like Isaiah Hodgins, isn't bad? Yeah,

156
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: Like will Waller lead that team in reception? Yes? I

157
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 4: think so too. Yeah.

158
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: Mark Andrews speaking a tight ends. His injury was undisclosed.

159
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: He was working out on the side on Wednesday and

160
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: looked comfortable running, according to Jamison Henley Hensley of ESPN.

161
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: I know, looking comfortable running means.

162
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: But.

163
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: He's a professional athlete. I would hope that he looks

164
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: comfortable running. If he's not looking comfortable running, they are

165
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: serious problems in this Yeah.

166
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: So that offense we talked about a little bit earlier.

167
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 4: Odell doesn't project to be number one. He's expensive. We

168
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: know they have three receivers. We heard all these things.

169
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 4: Do you still think it's just going to go back

170
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: to Andrews like crazy? I mean, that's where Lamar's most comfortable.

171
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 4: Clearly his guy of anyone out there, But he goes

172
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 4: so high in drafts, fantasy drafts, he.

173
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: Gets higher than I would like to take him me too,

174
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: especially for a guy who has his injury history.

175
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: I know he's always nicked up.

176
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 4: I never take him. I don't think we took him

177
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: once in any of our marks. No, but I could

178
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 4: see myself regretting that stand though.

179
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: Oh I think he could. Could he have one hundred catches.

180
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: This year and then he's worth where he could.

181
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: He miss seven games with injuries one percent? Like I,

182
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: I don't want to deal in that. I don't want

183
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: to take him in a third round where he's going

184
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: at that with that many question marks.

185
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 4: Would you rather Kiddle two rounds later?

186
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

187
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: Or would you? Andrews is still your second tight end, though.

188
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: I might move Waller there. I'll be honest with you.

189
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: Waller and Hawkinson, I say, well, it was a Brea

190
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 4: Hawkinson too, like the guitars guys. I had a Kittle

191
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: for me. Yeah, Kittle. I'm doing a ton of San

192
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: Franz stuff, and Kittle had a ton of touchdowns with

193
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: Purdy in there. But when all their dudes are healthy,

194
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: his target share is really low. I mean it's just hard, it's.

195
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: Just too there's too many mouths to feed. It's like,

196
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: I don't I don't want I don't want anything to

197
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: do with Deebo Samuel.

198
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: No, Deebo Samuel.

199
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: He averaged I think forty yards per game.

200
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: Quarterback and he blamed I have all these injuries and uh.

201
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: And he's not going to run the ball like he did.

202
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: He can get you those points, yeah, I mean it,

203
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: you're here or there.

204
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not going to be seven or eight

205
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: that he was getting. Now they have McCaffrey.

206
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: No, I actually have been buying Ayuk because he's so cheap.

207
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 4: I might rather have buy Uked than Samuel in a vacuum. Yeah,

208
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: I would, but and for their price, I definitely would.

209
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 4: So Samuel Kittill have not been ending up on my team.

210
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: Devon a Chan was practicing in a non contact jersey today. Uh,

211
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: he had that shoulder injury.

212
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: That's gonna be an.

213
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: I don't I.

214
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: Don't want him.

215
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 4: I don't want him. It sure seems like it's going

216
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: to be Moster and.

217
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: Wilson Jeff Wilson, Yeah, who was absent from practice today.

218
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: By the way. Yeah, I'm avoiding that backfield. A change

219
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 4: to me will always be a five touch a game.

220
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: Guy, He'll have a game this season where.

221
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 4: Bust seventy yards.

222
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know he'll have you know, four catches

223
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: in that game, and he'll beat he'll beat up on somebody,

224
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: and everybody will rush to the waiver wire to pick

225
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: him up, like you're gonna have to guess his blow

226
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: up game.

227
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: I still think there's a chance Jonathan Taylor ends up

228
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 4: on that team. Yeah.

229
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: Did you see who the other team was that was interested?

230
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: Now Green Bay?

231
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: Really they're gonna run the ball a lot. I wonder

232
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 4: if like AJ Dillon would be part of the deal.

233
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

234
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: Well, the reason that the deal didn't go through with

235
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: Miami Indianapolis was asking for Jaylen Waddle.

236
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: How does that happen?

237
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: You know, if you're gonna AmAm high.

238
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 4: I mean, hey, that's fine, but you better come off

239
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: that price.

240
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: I mean they were asking, first of well, they won

241
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: a first round draft pick.

242
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: Well, Jala was the first round draft pick. If the

243
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: if they were to.

244
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 4: Shop Jayleen Waddle, they'd get two ones for him. The

245
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: Colts would be lucky to get a one for Taylor.

246
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 4: I mean, no, your audience here, Well, I don't know

247
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 4: their ownerships.

248
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 3: I don't see him moving if those are as you're

249
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 3: not moving him.

250
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: McCaffrey at the trade deadline was like a two, three

251
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 4: and a five, like it equal to one. And I

252
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: think McCaffrey then is more valuable than Taylor now.

253
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: Quite frank, I just I think the culture digging in

254
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: their heels on this one and saying, you know this

255
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: is coming from the owner. Hey, he's only he's only

256
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: under contract for like four million dollars this year.

257
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: Let him sit, Yeah, let them sit. I think there

258
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 4: is a logic behind we're not rewarding anyone in this

259
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 4: room after last year. You know, we're not giving out

260
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 4: money for the performance we saw in twenty twenty two

261
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 4: to any of you guys. You know what we saw

262
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: is not okay, and why would we reward you. And

263
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: Taylor had his worst year and it was the only

264
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 4: time he's ever been injured in his life. I do

265
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: think that running backs will get hurt in the first

266
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: month of the season, and maybe you get more after

267
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: a starback goes down off a good team or a

268
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: GM and coach that had a really bad running game

269
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 4: and dedicated the whole offseason to fixing the running game

270
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 4: look at each other, like, we didn't fix a running game,

271
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 4: We're all gonna get fired.

272
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: That being said, where do you draft Jonathan Taylor?

273
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 4: That was something I was going to ask you. I

274
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: have no idea, is I was if we didn't know

275
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 4: what to do this fantasy segment, I was going to

276
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: ask you to pull up any random list of fantasy

277
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 4: running backs. I don't care whose it is and where's

278
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: the point where you consider them.

279
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: It more depends on how many running backs I have

280
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 3: on my roster and who those running backs are. Like

281
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: if I'm building, if I if I go, if I

282
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 3: got a running back early that I know as a stud.

283
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: Let's let's say I took Vijon Robinson in the first

284
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: first round.

285
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 4: Fine, okay, for any first round running.

286
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: Back, and then I go receiver, receiver, receiver, receiver, receivers,

287
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 3: tight tight end or whatever it is, and my build

288
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 3: is then I'm taking a kind of the hero running

289
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: but I'm taking Alexander Madison as my two maybe have

290
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: like David Montgomery, and then I grabbed somebody like that

291
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: is maybe, And then now I'm gonna think about taking

292
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor.

293
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: Not before that.

294
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: No, I'm not gonna waste a premium draft pick on

295
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 3: a guy for first of all, I know for a

296
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 3: fact isn't going to play the first month of the season.

297
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: Right, I mean it's a week to week league. I

298
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: used to be the guy.

299
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: That's a quarter of your fantasy season.

300
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. I used to be the guy that would stash

301
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 4: guys all the time too, and they sit there forever

302
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 4: and you're.

303
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: Always like, I got to cut somebody else to pick somebody.

304
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 4: Like Yeah, I hate being handcuff like that now, especially

305
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 4: if it's not a deep league. I like, I don't

306
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 4: want Kamara this year. I mean he's got three, Taylor's

307
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: got four. Jamison Williams isn't nearly.

308
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: As good as at least Kamara.

309
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 4: You know what it is, And he's gonna be you know,

310
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: he's gonna play in Week four. Yeah, where Taylor may

311
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 4: never play for the Colts game.

312
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this may be. Yeah, he's on.

313
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 4: There's no end thing. He's hurt.

314
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: I don't have to bring him.

315
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: Off the pup list in all the season if they

316
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: don't want to at all.

317
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 4: I think he gets traded. WI should be thrilled if

318
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: you're his owner if he gets traded or he's not

319
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: doesn't play for the Colts.

320
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: But hope is not a plan.

321
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 4: No, I don't know. I start fiddling with my ranks,

322
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 4: like if we play the name game, like, are you

323
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 4: taking Dalvin and Breeze Hall both over him?

324
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

325
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: Yeah? How about I'm trying to find guys that are

326
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: really gray right now? Javonte Williams.

327
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I know he's playing.

328
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: I guess he's another one I'm not touching.

329
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: But he's not gonna miss and he's not missing any

330
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: he's healthy. Night.

331
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, here's an awful one. James Connor. I think

332
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: I'm taking Tailor over James Connor.

333
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 3: I suppose, but at least Connor is gonna you're gonna

334
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: get something at it.

335
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: You can start.

336
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he might.

337
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: James Connor might catch seventy passes this year because they

338
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: had nobody else to throw the ball to him.

339
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: Right, So you're definitely taking the not de Mere White,

340
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 4: the Buccaneers White, what's his name whatever, the lead back

341
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: for the box or Madison or Yeah, they are these

342
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: guys that are gonna play like the high volume like,

343
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 4: but again.

344
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: It depends how many guys. You know.

345
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: If I've got one stud back or even two stud

346
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: backs and now I'm drafting guys later, then maybe I'll

347
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: take a shot on Jonathan Taylor.

348
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: Other other than that, I'm not touching him.

349
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's.

350
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: I'm not taking I'm not taking him in the fourth

351
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: round as my second back, Like you're taking a check

352
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: go ahead of them.

353
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. How about like McKinnon, Like, if I really get

354
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 4: that's yeah, okay, But if it's a starting running back

355
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: who I know is going to play, I'll take him.

356
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 4: How about the rookies, Like you're taking charbon A or that's.

357
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: A little big Yeah.

358
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: I mean they're all in time shares, so they're kind

359
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: of in that same.

360
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 4: But they're play week one.

361
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: They'll play in week one, but by then I'll have

362
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: I'll have other guys who can play in week one.

363
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: So that's more of a you're taking the same kind

364
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: of shot really with those guys because.

365
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: You need something somebody, You need something.

366
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: To happen for that guy to become valuable.

367
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: But in the meantime, you know, I mean Walker could

368
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: get hurt in we two right where the whole coach,

369
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 4: the whole Colt's running back room by time guy.

370
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the time Jonathan Taylor comes back and I

371
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: take I took him as my number two back. By

372
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: the time he's back, I could be ohing six.

373
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 4: Is Zach Moss or Evan Hull draftable? I think they're.

374
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: Draftable, but I don't want them.

375
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: I don't want them either. Hull reminds me a little o' connor.

376
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: I mean, he's a big back that catches passes, which

377
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 4: is a good formula. But I don't know if he's

378
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 4: a one.

379
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't want to. I don't want

380
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: to deal with that.

381
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 4: Like you're taking aj Dillon over Taylor. Yeah, okay. I

382
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 4: dropped him to like thirty on my board. He probably

383
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 4: has to go to like forty five.

384
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: He's again, he's out at least at least a month.

385
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 4: I think we're all happy when someone else takes them.

386
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, lets somebody else make that mistake. Take him in

387
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: round four.

388
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: Juante Williams worries me too. I know he played a game.

389
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: But but where you're drafting him.

390
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 4: At is not that's baked in.

391
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, like if I'm taking if I'm in the fourth

392
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: or fifth round, though in this in the seventh or

393
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: eighth round, Okay, I'll consider it, depending on what the

394
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: rest of my team looks like.

395
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, interesting, Okay, both of my last one, both of

396
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: Miami backs. You're not taking like Mostard or Wilson over Taylor,

397
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 4: are you. I don't want to do that.

398
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: I don't want anything to do that Fields. I want nothing.

399
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: Maybe that's a different conversation, A conversation what teams do

400
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: I want to avoid or what backgrounds or yeah, there's

401
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: a lot one of the there. The Ravens placed Keaton Mitchell.

402
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: He's on their original fifty three man roster, but he's

403
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: a candidate to be placed on injury reserve.

404
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: With a shoulder injury.

405
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: He's a running back. Yeah, okay, cut Gordon.

406
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah they I mean he made the team over Melvin Gordon.

407
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 4: But I'm warming up to Dobbins though. I mean, I

408
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: don't think Gus Everards has done anything. I know, But

409
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 4: is he even with them right? I guess he's with

410
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 4: them right now, but I think so. But he's not

411
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: cheap or he's not that expensive. You get him after

412
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 4: like Miles Sanders and those guys.

413
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: They still they love the gust Bus.

414
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: They like him more than I do. That's definitely true.

415
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey was placed on IR. That affects the Dolphins defense.

416
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 3: That could be very long but.

417
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 4: He could come back.

418
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: He can come back, But I mean the original courts

419
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 3: were maybe not until December playoffs. By then, it's too

420
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: late for your defense like that. Dolphins defense was very

421
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: highly rated going into the fantasy season, and.

422
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 4: They play a brutals guy.

423
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 3: I think you dropped him at least five spots without

424
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey.

425
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if they're in my top twelve anymore.

426
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 4: And they were really a team I was targeting before

427
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 4: really digging into schedule, and one thing I noticed and

428
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 4: I needed a little more homework on, so I don't

429
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: put a ton of work into team defense, special teams.

430
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: I set aside. I wrote the end of my spreadsheet,

431
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 4: I wrote every name, and I said, who are the

432
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: twelve that I would be comfortable with? Just put X

433
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 4: by him? Didn't even rank them. They all play like

434
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 4: the brutal with schedules. It's like the Jets and the

435
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 4: Bills and the Patriots and Dolphins. They have the warst

436
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 4: schedules in the world. You know, Steelers isn't bad.

437
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 3: That's why the Steelers is a nice sleeper defense from

438
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: If you look at the rankings on where they're going,

439
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: like eleven or twelve, right, every year there's a team.

440
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: In that range.

441
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 4: It's like two.

442
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're a good good bet to be. Like,

443
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: if you drafted New England defense, are you starting them

444
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 3: in week one? Now, think about this, you're taking in

445
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: a redraft league. You're probably only taking one defense. They

446
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: play Philadelphia in week one. You can't use them in

447
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: week one.

448
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 4: The Niners aren't the best matchup either, but you're getting

449
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 4: them three rounds cheaper too.

450
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

451
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 4: The other one like, if you look at the Jets

452
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 4: and Patriots first six games, I don't know if you

453
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 4: can use any of their defenses, right.

454
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: And that's and that's who you know.

455
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: You're you're looking at the teams you had to draft

456
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: them to get them. That's why it's better to stream defenses.

457
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 2: It just is.

458
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is.

459
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: And it goes back to.

460
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 3: Mike Mike our conversation a couple of weeks ago, and

461
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: I said, don't even drafted defense if they if you're

462
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 3: not forced to draft a draft of defense.

463
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 4: Ten days to figure it out or whatever.

464
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, take a let everybody else waste picks in whatever

465
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: round they do that and scoop up some nice value

466
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: picks and then make a decision look.

467
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: At a team like the Saints because they don't play anybody. Yeah,

468
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: I mean their defense is fine, it's the fifteenth best

469
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 4: defense in the league. But they're not going to play

470
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 4: my homes all the time order to be down.

471
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: How about this Carolina cut Matt Corral.

472
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 4: I saw that. Did anybody grab him?

473
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: Not yet?

474
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 4: He was the one quarterback for that class. I never

475
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 4: really saw.

476
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: It with I didn't think he was the first round guy.

477
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 4: E know, like I thought Howe was better than him.

478
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 4: I didn't think Corral was all that. He'll get picked

479
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 4: up somewhere.

480
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: D you see Joe Burrow back at practice today?

481
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 4: Really? Yep? In fool or just he.

482
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: Just returned to return to practice today. This was the

483
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: first time I guess he was in any kind of

484
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: pads or anything. So, I mean that's a good sign.

485
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: That's what. They also released Trevor Simmy and yesterday's also

486
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: good sign. Good sign that tells me they think he's

487
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: going to play in Week one.

488
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 4: I thought when they released Simy and they might be

489
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 4: grabbing Colt McCoy or somebody like that, but it doesn't.

490
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 4: I think their confident Burrow will be their Week one. Yeah,

491
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 4: I'm still taking him behind like Herbert, though I dropped

492
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: him a little bit in my ranks.

493
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: Laviskus Chanault cleared concussion protocol, so he is back in

494
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 3: with the team. Have any interest in Leaviska Chanelt.

495
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 4: You talked about running backs. You don't want backfields, you

496
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 4: don't want I don't want any panther past catchers like

497
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 4: Hayden Hurst isn't terrible, neither is Thielen Mingo might be fine.

498
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 4: Channault's going to get some love, but they're all who's

499
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: going to get the ball? Yeah, I don't want any

500
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 4: of their pass catchers.

501
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: It looks like Jelanie Woods aggravated his hamstring with the Colts.

502
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: He could land on ir Oh. He's one of my

503
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 4: favorite hot young tight ends. You've got a lot of those, Yeah,

504
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 4: a lot of them. This year's a little less than usual,

505
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: but he was high on the list.

506
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like he's draftable. But the report out

507
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: of New York is that well, just not surprising. Breece

508
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: Hall could be limited early in the year.

509
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 4: We should play a name game with him too, like

510
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 4: who you're taking over him? I gotta keep dropping him too.

511
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Dalvin Cook started practicing yesterday. And he looks

512
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 3: healthy heading in the week one.

513
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: I think he's probably too cheap right now. Yeah, everyone's

514
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: just thinking Hall's looming that how often do we tell

515
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 4: you teams tell you what they think. The Jets are

516
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 4: telling you exactly what they think.

517
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: This is not good news.

518
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 3: Randall Cobb looks like he's going to be the number

519
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: three receiver in New York and Nicole Hartman moving down

520
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: the list on.

521
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 4: That Hardman was never for me, but it just seemed

522
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 4: like they had such a wealth of receivers, Like why

523
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 4: do they go and get Lazard and Cobb and blah blah.

524
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 4: Now they have liked one.

525
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 3: I think Aaron Rodgers is doing the depth chart.

526
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: I think too, And I get that, Hey, I need

527
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,239
Speaker 4: you to be where I need you to be and

528
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: understand all the checks and the way we do things.

529
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 4: But all this might help Wilson. Yeah, there's a couple

530
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 4: of these dudes, Wilson and Saint Brown come to mind.

531
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 2: Like they're the only game in town, only game.

532
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: In town, And I think that is ninety eight percent

533
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 4: a good thing. But it's hard to be the only

534
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: game in town. Yeah, you know, I mean Saint Brown

535
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 4: kind of was Anyways, last year. You know, so He's

536
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: shown he can and I think Wilson's going to be

537
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: a stud.

538
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: Jamis Williams draftable, by the way.

539
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: Not with a six game suspension. Yeah, it's the same

540
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 4: arguing roster clogger. But it's tough to be Cooper Cup

541
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 4: when the whole world knows you're getting twelve targets. I

542
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 4: think those guys can.

543
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: Be the difference with Cooper Cup though he runs out

544
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 3: of the slot as Saint Brown for the most part,

545
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: and he's much better running out of the slot.

546
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 2: Wilson's on the outside, easier to double the way.

547
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can bang them with the safety over the top.

548
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 4: I still would gladly take him. I might even say,

549
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 4: if you're picking eight in that draft, i'd consider him

550
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: a mere second pick. I love him, but they need

551
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: to prove that they be the man. You know.

552
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: Our final little nugget here is Kareem Hunt. This according

553
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 3: to Tom Pelisaro, the NFL Network has received tract offers

554
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 3: from four teams over.

555
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: The past few weeks.

556
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 3: I think say, yes, he said he's waiting for the

557
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 3: right spot. If Kareem Hunt signs somewhere, are you interested

558
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 3: in Kareem Hunt?

559
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 4: Like if he went to Miami, if that was their

560
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: consolation prize saying we're not gonna trade your waddle, I

561
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 4: would draft him. I'd take him over Mostard and Wilson

562
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 4: right away. Yeah.

563
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: If he lands in Indianapolis, yes, okay.

564
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 4: I mean like as a flex. I mean I don't

565
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 4: know where you get him.

566
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 3: But yeah, is he draftable if we go into this

567
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 3: pet through this weekend then he hasn't signed yet.

568
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 2: Do you draft and stash him?

569
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: No?

570
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so either.

571
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 4: Four nuts the other one.

572
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 3: No.

573
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 4: I mean those who will play football probably somewhere this year,

574
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 4: but I don't think.

575
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough, it is difficult. This is one of

576
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: the more interesting drafts that I've seen him.

577
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 4: I think you can make miss On, Breese Hall, Taylor,

578
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 4: Camara Javante. I'm not saying they're all gonna be bus

579
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 4: but they're all really good players. But there's a lot

580
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 4: of things looming on. Some of these guys have been

581
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 4: drafted high in the last year or two.

582
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, run absolutely, that's going to do it for it

583
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 3: the fantasy football focus. He is Matt Williamson. I am

584
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: Dale LOLLI. We're going to take another break here and

585
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: We'll be back with more on the Drive right after this.

586
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: This is The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

587
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

588
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: and Gold SNR Steelers Nation Radio.

589
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Drive.

590
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: I am Dale Lolly, he is Matt Williamson and Matt

591
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 3: College football really there were a couple of games last weekend,

592
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: but really kind of gets in kicks into full gear

593
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 3: this weekend.

594
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: So I thought that'd be a good.

595
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 4: Time that new tradition, you know what I mean, Like

596
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 4: we're waiting a little while for NFL, but you give,

597
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 4: I would say, throw a bone, but all eyes will

598
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: be focused on big college games there.

599
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: Even it's like some Sunday games this year.

600
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 4: I think, So this weekend it's all Labor Day weekend. Yeah,

601
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 4: you know, I'll be in Deep Creek and we'll have

602
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 4: it on the whole time. And I mean it's it's

603
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 4: it's good stuff. But I'm really doing my best. I

604
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 4: tell myself this every year, get ahead on draft stuff.

605
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: This year, like Florida State's playing LSU on.

606
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 4: Sloria State's loaded. Yeah, they got a lot of dudes.

607
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: So looking at that ahead to that. Here Mel Kiper

608
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: has updated his big board.

609
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 4: Okay, you are seeing a bunch of mocks and stuff

610
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 4: popping up, and yeah it warning. Everyone always says this

611
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 4: every year. This draft class looks much better than the

612
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 4: last year. I mean there's tackles, there's a stud receiver,

613
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: there's quarterbacks. Now half of them could fall in their face.

614
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 4: We know how that works. But as it stands now, Guys,

615
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 4: I've been doing this long enough. I know I'm probably

616
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: not saying. I mean, it's could go wrong, but this

617
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 4: looks like a really good class.

618
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 3: At number one, mel has Caleb Williams at a USC sure,

619
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 3: no surprise or he's number one on everybody's list. Number

620
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: two he has Marvin Harrison Junior, the wide receiver out

621
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 3: of Ohio State.

622
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: He's the best receiver prospect. I haven't studied him as intently,

623
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 4: but he's like a no negative guy. I mean he's

624
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 4: George Picking size. He's huge, yeah, and can fly and

625
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 4: fly right. He's a better prospect than Jamar Chase was

626
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 4: at this point.

627
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: Number three for mel is to tackle out of Penn State, OLU.

628
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 4: I have no idea why he went back to school.

629
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 4: Penn State's got a lot of dudes I'm sure they're hey,

630
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure he's getting paid to. I mean the college

631
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 4: guys that are nice, but he was. He would have

632
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 4: been the first tackle taken this past year.

633
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 3: Number four for mel Is Drake May, the quarterback at

634
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: North Carolina.

635
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 2: They play South Carolina.

636
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 4: Fun this weekend. We visited both those schools this summer.

637
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 4: Very justin Herbert like in style and you know, skills.

638
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 4: He'll go high.

639
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: Number five, the tight end out of Georgia bruck Bauers.

640
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 4: Small but could go higher than Pits did and better

641
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 4: call player than Pitt's, better college player than any tight

642
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 4: end I remember.

643
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: Really At six, one of those Florida State guys that

644
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: Jared Diverse.

645
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 4: He's another one went back to school. He could have

646
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 4: been a top ten pick.

647
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: Six four, two fifty three.

648
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: He's a force. Florida State's got a lot of dudes.

649
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 4: They got a running back, they got a couple receivers.

650
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 3: At seven is a Notre Dame tackle Joe Alt six

651
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: eight three fifteen.

652
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 4: Very mcglincheus esque and also a Notre Damer. A little

653
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 4: bit better athlete. I think his dad was a first

654
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 4: round pick. His dad was an offensive tackle. John Yeah.

655
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: Number eight, the cornerback out of Alabama, kool Aid McKinstry.

656
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: How great is that? Yeah, a little bit skinny, but

657
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 4: he's a really really good problem.

658
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: And listen here six one, one ninety five, so he's

659
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 3: actually if he's actually one ninety five, he'll be fine.

660
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, he's big time prospect too.

661
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 3: Uh. At nine, another Penn State guy. That would be

662
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: Chop Robinson, the outside linebacker.

663
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 4: Powerful guy. It's pretty there's not an elite edge guy.

664
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: Most people have verse in themnumber one, but it looks

665
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 4: like there's six or seven with a lot of first

666
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 4: round buzz already.

667
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: I saw a thing.

668
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: It was somebody put out a mock draft recently, and

669
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 3: it was somebody that I paid attention to it. Yeah,

670
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 3: and they had the Steelers taking an outside linebacker in

671
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: the first round.

672
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 4: I saw that one talking about that being said, I

673
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 4: don't know what position i'd pick for them right now.

674
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 3: I don't know either, but it's not going to be

675
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 3: outside line it's by far the best guy on the board,

676
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 3: unless you're just taking a guy to take them versus

677
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: they would have the best, like best outside linebacker backup

678
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 3: duo in the league if they did something like that.

679
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 4: At some point I wanted to have that conversation. It's

680
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: too hard to do. But like, what position if you

681
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 4: had to bet right now.

682
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: Would be the Steelers first round pick, and it's going

683
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: to be something on defense. I would think maybe an

684
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 3: inside backer, maybe I don't like, I don't love that.

685
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 4: Maybe a cornerback, corner, I don't know, Maybe a wide out.

686
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean I think they're pretty. I

687
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 4: mean they aren't. I mean, they're gonna have needs, but

688
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 4: it seems like on August thirty, they don't have a

689
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: lot of glaring holes.

690
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

691
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: At ten, another offensive tackle that's three in the top

692
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 3: mel top ten, j C. Latham, the offensive tackle out

693
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 3: of Alabama.

694
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 4: He's a typical Bama mash your face, huge human being,

695
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: more right than left in terms of his style.

696
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: Those guys haven't all hit.

697
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 4: They have at all hit. Like Neil's not doing well

698
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 4: for the Giants right now. Yeah, he would worry me

699
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: a little bit. Yeah, icking judge him all the same,

700
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: But you're right.

701
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: At eleven, another Penn State guy. Three in the top

702
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 3: eleven for Penn State. That would be kaylen King, the cornerback.

703
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 4: He's gonna everyone's gonna say, oh, he's better than Porter

704
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. Maybe he will be I don't know.

705
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 4: But he got on the map because no one threw

706
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 4: a Porter, right, yeah, right, you know what I mean.

707
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 4: And he might be phenomenal. I'm not taking it away

708
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 4: from him. He's ranked high by everybody.

709
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 3: At twelve is another Alabama guy, Dallas Turner, the outside linebacker.

710
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: He was the opposite.

711
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: These are the guys, These are the guys.

712
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: The reason why the guy the inside backer lash or

713
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 3: the backer last year transferred.

714
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, because he had Will Anderson Sanders, Drew Sas.

715
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: Drew Saunders, Like they just got guys.

716
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: I mean, that's right, No shocked, but this was like

717
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 4: the five star of five star edge guys when he

718
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 4: came out. He's a little lean though, he's like two forty.

719
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, they listened to six four two uh.

720
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: At thirteen Miami defensive tackle Leonard Taylor the third.

721
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 4: It looks like there's a decent group of d tackles

722
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: all fighting for that number one spot. It was not

723
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: an elite one, but there's a lot of potential first rounders.

724
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 3: At fourteen is Keon Coleman, wide receiver out of Florida State.

725
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: He's six four two.

726
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 4: Fifteen the huge one.

727
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: Big receivers in this year's round.

728
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, total opposite the last year. Yeah, like Texas has

729
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 4: a big one. You know, there's a lot of them.

730
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 3: Fifteen is a Michigan defensive tackle, Chris Jenkins.

731
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: That's Chris Jenkins' son. Yes, so he's you know, Harbaugh

732
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 4: says a lot of stuff because he did say Harbor. Yeah,

733
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: he says a lot of stuff. But talk about teams

734
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: that are loaded, there's talk and I guess Harbaugh mentioned

735
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: it that he thinks they could set the record for

736
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 4: most players drafted in one year from one school. Like

737
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 4: they have two backs that a go early. They got

738
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 4: a lot of guys quarterback this dude. I mean, so Michigan.

739
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 3: And somehow they still haven't won a national championship in

740
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 3: yours or mine or anybody's lifetime.

741
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 4: No, they're loaded though since pre World War Two? Is

742
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 4: that how long it's been?

743
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Mike. Mike Pursuit has just told me that.

744
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: I'm as you can imagine.

745
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 4: Quick to remind you.

746
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: At sixteen, another defensive tackle, this one out of Illinois,

747
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: Jerson Newton.

748
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 4: I think he was hurt almost all last year. One

749
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 4: of these top defensive tackles missed the majoritia. Oh, there

750
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 4: was a dude from LSU, Mason Smith. But he's another

751
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 4: one that's in the mix for top defense tackle. He's

752
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 4: the quickness guy, not quite you know, Elijah Cantsey, but

753
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 4: sort of more that mold.

754
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: It's seventeen. He can watch this guy on Sunday. Malik Neighbors,

755
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: wide receiver out of LSU. He he's only six foot,

756
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 3: two hundred pounds, so he's a smaller receiver.

757
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 4: He seems to be competing, surprise surprise, with the second

758
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 4: Ohio State receiver to be to be the number two

759
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 4: receiver in this draft.

760
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 3: And he is next on his year. Yeagka Mika aguiba.

761
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: Uh, he's one.

762
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 4: Smith, the jig six another. Yeah. They're all big and

763
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 4: thirty goods. Yeah, I mean last year was the small guys.

764
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 3: In nineteen for mil uh is a Cooper de Jon

765
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 3: cornerback out of Iowa.

766
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 4: He's big.

767
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: They just put out like this. This is a guy. Uh.

768
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 3: He was the best guy in their secondary last year

769
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 3: and they had what three guys drafted.

770
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, he's supposed to be a high pick.

771
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: Uh at twenty.

772
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 3: His quarterback Riley Leonard out of Duke six four two twelve,

773
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 3: So another good sized quarterback.

774
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 4: There's a handful of the not May Williams quarterbacks that

775
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 4: people were buzzing about Michigan, the Duke kid, Washington Pinnock.

776
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: The next guy on here is bo Nick's quarterback out

777
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 3: of Oreca.

778
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 4: From what I've heard about him, I think this is

779
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 4: his sixth year that he was a disaster, super highly

780
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: recruited disaster at Auburn. Goes to Oregon and lit it

Speaker 3: Out at twenty two for mel Is Lay two Lai

784
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: two lay two.

785
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 4: See the edge guy, edge guy out of Ucla.

786
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a sixty five to sixty five.

787
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 4: He's like a bud the pre Boarn in the three end.

788
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 4: I think I would think.

789
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah at twenty three. Now the cornerback Josh Newton out

790
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 3: of TCU six foot one ninety five.

791
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 4: I've just seen the name. Don't know a ton about him.

792
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 4: That's probably the highest I've heard him ranked thus far.

793
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 4: But they had a really good secondary too.

794
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 2: He allowed just thirty four point four percent of the

795
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: passes thrown his way last year to be.

796
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 4: Caught really well, that's pretty good. Pretty good? Yeah good.

797
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 3: H at twenty four, defensive end out of Ohio State

798
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 3: at JT to Amalo guy.

799
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 4: He's another wrecking ball extreme athlete. I think he's on

800
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 4: the Freaks list for you know, one of the best athletes.

801
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 4: And then they have a sawyer kid who's also an edge.

802
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 4: It's going to get pick pretty high.

803
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

804
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 3: At twenty five is the massive tackle out of Georgia,

805
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 3: Amarius Mims six seven three and forty pounds.

806
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 4: I was listening to Dane Brugler's podcast and he thinks

807
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 4: this guy is clearly number two. There's very little film

808
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 4: of them, and it's as Roger Jones hard to get

809
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 4: on the field there. He thinks this guy is the

810
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 4: only guy that can compete with the.

811
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 2: End State dude two stars last year.

812
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 4: Two stars, and he was started in every other program

813
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 4: in the world. He might be the fifth pick in

814
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 4: the draft. The guy started two times last year. But

815
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 4: that's a potential stud there.

816
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 3: Looking at the overall rankings, here Mel's rankings at each position.

817
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 3: If we think, well, the Steelers aren't taking a quarterback,

818
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: I don't see them taking a running back.

819
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 4: I'd be shocked. I mean in the first round. Yeah,

820
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 4: wide receiver, it could happen.

821
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

822
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 3: The only guys Romo Donze from Washington, Xavier Worthy out

823
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 3: of Texas or his top finish out his top six

824
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 3: Steelers aren't taking a tight end. I would assume not

825
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 3: next year fullback h Beck, they're not doing that.

826
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 4: I guess you could take a tackle.

827
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: So looking at the other tackles that weren't mentioned there

828
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 3: After Mims, you have Kingsley Solo, Mattaya at a by U,

829
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 3: and then Jordan Morgan from Arizona's number.

830
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 2: Six on that list.

831
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 4: Those names much about them.

832
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 3: The guards you got Cooper BB from k State, Christian

833
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 3: mcgonagey from Boston College, Troy Fatanu from Washington, Zach Zinter

834
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 3: from Michigan, Joshua Gray from Morgan State, and then Donovan

835
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: Jackson from Ohio State.

836
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 2: Guard could be a.

837
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 4: Spot, could be I was about to say, center could

838
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 4: be a spot. Of course, Georgia has a duce.

839
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 3: Cedric van prant is number one. I don't think people

840
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 3: you're not taking those guys in the first round.

841
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 4: I think he's more like an early day two guy

842
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 4: unless he lights it up.

843
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 3: But then you got Graham Barton from Duke Sach Fraser

844
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 3: from West Virginia, Logan Jones from Iowa, Matt Lee from Miami,

845
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 3: and Bo Limmer from Arkansasah.

846
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 4: There's a lot of buzz about the Duke kid. Yeah,

847
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 4: I think he's multi positioning.

848
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: Don't see defensive end, defensive tackles.

849
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 4: I could went in doubt if right take some of it.

850
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 4: Looks like Benton.

851
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, after Newton from Illinois, there were three in his

852
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 3: top twenty five. Then you have Mason Smith from LSU,

853
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 3: Michael Hall junior from Ohio State, and then McKinley Jackson

854
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: from Texas A.

855
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 4: And m Okay. Yeah, there's a lot of buzz on

856
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 4: the LSU kid. He just missed on. I think the

857
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 4: whole year.

858
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 3: None of the off ball linebackers made Meles list. His

859
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 3: number one guy is Jeremiah Trotter from Clemson.

860
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 4: Most people like the other Clemson guy better. That's Jeremiah

861
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 4: Trotter's son.

862
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, shocking.

863
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he also has a junior Colson from Michigan.

864
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 4: I don't know a ton about him.

865
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 3: Jayalen Ford from ten Texas, Smail Mandon from Georgia, Nick

866
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: Jackson from Iowa, and then Tommy Eikenberg from Ohio State.

867
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 4: He doesn't have the other Clemson kid. I forget his name,

868
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 4: but he's bigger and more athletic.

869
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 3: Be an underclassman might be why oh he is? Yeah,

870
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 3: there you go outside linebackers. You always look at those.

871
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 3: Maybe that's it. He has Barrett Carter number. Yeah, he

872
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: listened to the side the undersized and maybe plays outside

873
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 3: in the four three.

874
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 4: I don't think. O. Yeah he is. I mean he's

875
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 4: an extreme athlete there, okay.

876
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: So he could bump inside.

877
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 4: He would be an inside the Steelers.

878
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 3: Steve Linton from Texas Tech, and then Curtis Jacobs from

879
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 3: Penn State cornerbacks. After those top guys, where we stop

880
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 3: out there, Josh Newton from TCU, Yeah he was on

881
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: the Denzel Burke from Ohio State shockingly, another Ohio State

882
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: guy on there.

883
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 2: And then Jason Marshall junior from Florida.

884
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 3: Interesting, and then finally the safeties.

885
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 4: There's some safeties. Maybe the safety could be a first round,

886
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 4: it could be could be late first or.

887
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: You know, Cameron Kinchins from Miami.

888
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: Is his number one.

889
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 4: He's got some size to him.

890
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: Tyler Nuban from Minnesota is number two. Kaylen Bullock from

891
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 3: USC is number three.

892
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: He kind of looks like Hamilton from Notre Dame. He's

893
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 4: like a six to three guy.

894
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: Rod Moore of Michigan. Number four, Latham Ransom from Ohio State.

895
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: And then this number six guy is Javon Bullard from Georgia.

896
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 4: A lot of Georgia Ohio State. Yeah, a lot of

897
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 4: the same school of course, especially he transfers. You might

898
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 4: as well go not a lot.

899
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: Of small school guys on.

900
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 4: I know that's more Well, I think they show up

901
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 4: later in the process.

902
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think what's happened because of the transfer of

903
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 3: the transfers. You go to a small school for a

904
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 3: couple of years, then you end up transferring somewhere bigger,

905
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 3: so people.

906
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 4: Might not remember. But the verse kid at Florida State

907
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 4: that could have come out and been a high pick,

908
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 4: he wasn't recruited by anybody. I think he walked on

909
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 4: like the smallest of schools. Then he transfers to Florida

910
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 4: State and needs to be a first round pick. Yeah,

911
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 4: so they're all gonna end up in the super schools.

912
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 3: This is yeah, this is what's happening now college And

913
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 3: I wonder what point that changes. I was having that.

914
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 3: I actually I had that conversation.

915
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 4: If those guys can pay Monday, Monday.

916
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 3: Monday, maybe Tuesday, whatever day was. I had that conversation

917
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 3: with Miles Boykin. We were talking about the Notre Dame

918
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: game they played Navy last weekend, and uh, because Notre

919
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: Dame's quarterback as a kid is the kid from Wake Forest.

920
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 3: The transfer her like his sixth year and you know,

921
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 3: he's twenty four years old. He'll be twenty five before

922
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 3: next year's draft. I'm like, oh, he looked good. He's like, yeah,

923
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 3: he should. It's his sixth year.

924
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 4: He's old. You know.

925
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 3: He went around and he's like, when does this When

926
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: does this stuff get changed?

927
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 2: He brought it up. I didn't.

928
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 3: He's like, when does this stuff get changed? With the

929
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 3: transfer rules? I don't know, or the extra years because

930
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 3: of COVID and things of that nature.

931
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 4: The COVID thing was weird, of course, but it's now

932
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 4: it's becoming common. But I think it's going to be

933
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: common common, like for ours purposes and we start digging in.

934
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 4: The draft started at North Carolina, then he went to

935
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 4: the USC, you know, like that's how everybody.

936
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem taking a quarterback who's played

937
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 3: a lot of college football games, that's a bonus. I

938
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 3: do have a problem playing taking a guy, let's say,

939
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 3: a cornerback who's a six year guy. I agree, because

940
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: that means that he spent more time in college because

941
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 3: he didn't think he was good enough to go to

942
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: the NFL.

943
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 4: Or just partying it up and getting a little bit

944
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 4: of a check here and there and content like back

945
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 4: in the day, like this was my pit experience. Can't

946
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 4: draft draft Joe Flacco in the first round. He couldn't

947
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 4: beat out Tyler Palco. He went to Delaware that used

948
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 4: to be frowned upon. I mean, obviously Joe overcame that.

949
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 4: They used to be highly frowned upon. Now it's like rare.

950
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 2: If you don't, yeah, I means almost expected.

951
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 3: Like every time I look up a prospect or I

952
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: look up a guy that I'm going to start doing

953
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 3: working a story on, like Jalen Warren went to three colleges,

954
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 3: did he?

955
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 4: You know?

956
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: It's just that's the Norman goes it goes.

957
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 4: And if you can start at a powerhouse, why wouldn't

958
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 4: you And they're gonna pay you to do it.

959
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 3: And he's the perfect example, that started at junior college,

960
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 3: went to Utah State for a couple of years, then

961
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 3: transfers to Oklahoma.

962
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 4: Right, okay, I've got an Oklahoma State I should say. Yeah,

963
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 4: it's just so much different than my time there. Where

964
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 4: you recruit these kids like crazy, bull them up, well,

965
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 4: come up, you know, teach them the system, and then

966
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 4: finally it's their turn. It may be gone.

967
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 3: And then the what then also happens in the four

968
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: star recruits that hey, I'm gonna go to Alabama. Look

969
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: at me, I'm going to Alabama. Woo who they end

970
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 3: up at the smaller.

971
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 4: Schools, right, they Bama brings in a five star from

972
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: Texas or whatever.

973
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 3: Or you get a guy who's been a three year

974
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 3: starter at TCU or somewhere, and then okay, we're gonna

975
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 3: push you aside.

976
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: And you in a transfer.

977
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 4: I always tell the story, but the three years I

978
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 4: was a pit We recruited the city of Miami really

979
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 4: really hard and got Antonio Bryant and a lot of

980
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 4: good players out of there. But so did the you. Yeah,

981
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 4: so we we'd ever beat the U and recruiting, But

982
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 4: their spiel was he sits down and you're you're living

983

Speaker 4: room you're a five star from Miami, Son, you have

985
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 4: Trump pet. And here's a thousand examples why. And then

986
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 4: they get there and they're like, well, I gotta beat

987

Speaker 3: totally failed to remember that one.

1005
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 4: But I'm sure we have some Michigan alumb out there.

1006

00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will sayde I will say this, Charles Woodson

1008
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 3: did not deserve to win the Heisman Trophy.

1009
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 4: No, that bothered me when it happened.

1010
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like, he's the guy, like he was a

1011
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: fine season.

1012
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he returned a couple of punts for touchdowns

1013
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 3: and you know, and then gets the Heisman that year.

1014
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 2: I believe.

1015
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 4: So, okay, because I mean he beat up Peyton Manning,

1016
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 4: I remember, Yeah, I mean that whole draft class was

1017
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 4: really good. Ryan Leaf, I mean he was good in

1018
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 4: the pros man but loaded group. Yeah, yeah, I agree.

1019
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 3: I didn't and nothing against Charles Wenttz is a great

1020
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 3: football player, right, great Hall of Famer.

1021
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was a bit much.

1022
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hugh Green should have been the first guy to win.

1023
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. I remember, I was like seven or eight when

1024
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: that happened, and I remember my family losing their minds.

1025
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 4: A monster monster. It was like eighty or eighty one

1026
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 4: or something.

1027
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 2: It was just eighty two unblockable.

1028
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 4: George Rogers, the running back from South Carolina, beat him. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, Yeah, So.

1029
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've paid attention to this, but

1030
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 3: the Steelers' odds have jumped.

1031
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 4: Up a little that it's about time they're up to now.

1032
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 3: Now they're betting odds this according to CBS Sports line

1033
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 3: no to.

1034
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 2: Over and a wins is now nine.

1035
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 3: Well overdue, Yeah, because it kept bumping up and up

1036
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 3: and up in terms of what you were going to

1037
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 3: He's like the myoskitts, it was like minus one sixty five,

1038
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 3: minus one seventy and now they've bumped it to a nine.

1039
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 4: So all these national guys are late to the party.

1040
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 4: I mean, we've been telling you this for months, but

1041
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 4: they're starting to every who could be drastically improved article

1042
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 4: you read.

1043
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 2: Is the steal except for Bill barn Wells.

1044
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bills was not, and some of them he kind

1045
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 4: of talked that both sides of his mouth on that

1046
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 4: one too. But yeah, I mean even like Warren Sharp,

1047
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 4: who I followed heavily today he put out which offenses

1048
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 4: will be more explosive next year? Steelers for number one?

1049
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, like it shouldn't have taken the

1050
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,959
Speaker 4: preseason to figure out a few of these things.

1051
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 3: I was listening to it into a serious show this morning.

1052
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 3: And Adam Kaplan, who does come to Steelers practicing here,

1053
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 3: he's the base of the Philly was talking about his

1054
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 3: the draft that he had just had and the fantasy

1055
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 3: draft that he had just said, and he said he

1056
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 3: took Kenny Pickett in like round I can't remember what

1057
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 3: it was, but like round the eight or nine is

1058
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 3: his number one quarterback one, and then backed him up

1059
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: with Aaron Rodgers.

1060
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 4: So he took him ahead over rod took him ahead

1061
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 4: of Rogers. I've been moving Kenny up consistently. I think

1062
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 4: I've said on here. I think I've done fifteen of

1063
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 4: these Best Ball drafts. He's underdog drafts, and he's my

1064
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 4: most owned player.

1065
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like I just I was when I was

1066
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 3: at Steevens Carter, but I was I was shocked at

1067
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 3: how good his arm looked.

1068
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 4: And one thing he has a weak arm, yeah, because

1069
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 4: he has small hands or he's not the biggest guy.

1070
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 4: He throws the ball really well. Of the young guys.

1071
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna maybe I'm stretching on this, the two

1072
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 4: that I might even necessarily fantasy wise, I think Jordan

1073
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 4: Love and Picket are gonna be good. Like I don't

1074
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 4: know about young Richardson Stroud Ritter, how anyone draft the

1075
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 4: last three years. I'm pretty confident that Love and Picket

1076
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 4: are gonna be good.

1077
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, you trust. Some of it goes to

1078
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: franchise trust very much.

1079
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 3: So I mean you trust Green Bay, you trust it's

1080
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Arizona.

1081
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not washing.

1082
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 3: They're not going to screw this up.

1083
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 4: There's a reason that these two franchises have had success

1084
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 4: at that position for decades. It's probably not an accident. Yeah.

1085
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 3: So does that mean you're like, we'll do more of

1086
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 3: this on Friday on Friday Show and we break down

1087
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 3: the league heading into the first week of the season.

1088
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 3: Do I mean you're over on the Packers seven and

1089
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 3: a half.

1090
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna pick the win the division and

1091
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 4: that's bold. So yes, I'm over seven and a half

1092
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 4: on the Packers. But I think my favorite bet, and

1093
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 4: I haven't placed any of them or anything but them

1094
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 4: to win the division.

1095
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 3: The Packers win the Division is plus four twenty. I

1096
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 3: bet it's pretty yeah tasty, plus four to twenty. The

1097
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 3: Steelers to win the division. The Lions the Steelers to.

1098
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 2: Win the Division is plus five hundred.

1099
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 4: I think the Packers have a better chance than the Steelers.

1100
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 3: Only because Cincinnati exists.

1101
00:46:58,920 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 4: And Baltimore's better.

1102
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 2: But I'll say this.

1103
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 3: If you look at Okay, so Cincinnati and Pittsburgh play

1104
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 3: the same schedule except three games. Cincinnati's three games, I

1105
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 3: know who they are are against the Chiefs, the Chiefs,

1106
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 3: the Bills, and Jags. Well, the Steelers play and the Vikings.

1107
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 4: Okay, that makes sense.

1108
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 3: The Steelers three games are the Packers, the Patriots, and

1109
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 3: the Raiders.

1110
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: It's a huge difference.

1111
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 4: And obviously they played the Steelers the Bank.

1112
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 3: Yea difference if everybody, if it's like last year, and

1113
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's going to be where everybody in

1114
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 3: the division goes three and three, they'll beat up on

1115
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 3: each other, not that that would be a shock.

1116
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 4: No, you do that and you go, you lose the

1117
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 4: Bills and Chiefs.

1118
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 3: They lose the Bills and Steelers get to eleven wins

1119
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 3: this year, they could win the division. And I can

1120
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 3: I can get a pretty easy path for the Steelers

1121
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 3: to get to eleven wins.

1122
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 2: Not easy, but I.

1123
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 4: Can not far.

1124
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: It's not far fetched at all.

1125
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 4: That's a great point. That's a great point. And I

1126
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 4: think the Steelers have the probably the Browns have the

1127
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 4: easiest schedule of the four.

1128
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 3: But if you look at based on like Cleveland's playing Chicago,

1129
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 3: which is no picnic because of Justin Fields.

1130
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: They play the Jets. That's their Yeah, that's their crossover game.

1131
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 4: They'd rather play the Patriots.

1132
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd rather.

1133
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 3: Play the Patriots, and they play the Broncos, which is

1134
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 3: who should be improved.

1135
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 4: Better than the Raiders. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.

1136
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 4: You much rather play the Raiders obviously.

1137
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 3: You know, if you're looking just based on last year's

1138
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 3: you know, whats and Broncos look a lot better than

1139
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 3: they did.

1140
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're finish like you.

1141
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 3: Know, for for Baltimore, Baltimore in those three games plays

1142
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 3: the Chargers yuck, the Lions the Lions yuck. Yeah, and

1143
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 3: then Miami.

1144
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 4: Must be Miami yuck. All of them are yuck.

1145
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 2: You can lose all three of those games.

1146
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 4: Oh, they're probably And you know how they put advanced lines. Yeah,

1147
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 4: I bet all three of them are like pick.

1148
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 2: Thems depending on where where they're.

1149
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 4: At than when they are and all that stuff too.

1150
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 4: Where I mean, Steelers versus Patriots shouldn't be a pick them.

1151
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 4: Steelers versus Raiders won't be a pick them.

1152
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 3: That's why I worry me a little you know, I

1153
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 3: had this conversation with with Valporter and Mike Pursuita the

1154
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 3: other day on the DV Morning Show, and I said,

1155
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 3: you know, I don't understand why people aren't talking everything.

1156
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 3: Every time somebody talks about the Steelers schedule, Well, the

1157
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 3: division's really tough. It is, it's thirty five percent of

1158
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 3: their games. They look at their games, look at the

1159
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 3: rest of it.

1160
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 4: Everyone just assumes that division's really hard, conference is really hard.

1161
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 4: Those are true. The Steelers conference games are not.

1162
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 3: Though they're playing the junk of the division of the conference.

1163
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 4: And the NFC stuff San Francis side isn't very daunting.

1164
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 3: No, I mean a trip to Seattle's they struggle out there,

1165
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 3: there's no doubt about it.

1166
00:49:59,000 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 4: Rams and Cardinals.

1167
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 3: But if you beat if you beat the forty nine

1168
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 3: Ers in Week one, now you're playing with house money

1169
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 3: because you're going to beat the Rams and the Cardinals. Yeah,

1170
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 3: I don't care if they play those games on the moon.

1171
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: Cardinals are awful. So I don't know. I assume you

1172
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,760
Speaker 4: can bet like this, if they win Week one against

1173
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 4: the Niners, you'd probably still get really good odds that

1174
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 4: they win eleven games. Yeah, And I think their chances

1175
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 4: go up by the.

1176
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,479
Speaker 3: Way the odds, the odds on that game have moved

1177
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 3: down as well. The Steelers now only two point underdogs.

1178
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 3: They were three when it opened, and then two and

1179
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 3: a half not too long ago.

1180
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 4: I get it.

1181
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 2: The money's coming out on Pittsburgh.

1182
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 4: And then what's interesting about that is Purdy's now a lock.

1183
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 4: When it came up, he wasn't even a lock.

1184
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you didn't know who.

1185
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 4: Those are? Far from a lock. I mean even again,

1186
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 4: we've said this the other day. Even if he plays,

1187
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 4: he won't play the whole game at this point.

1188
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 3: Right, right, So I just, I just I thought it

1189
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 3: was interesting that that line had finally moved to nice

1190
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 3: because Tim Bens and I had talked about that on

1191
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 3: the pregame show a couple week weeks ago, maybe before

1192
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 3: the game against the Bills. Well, if everybody thinks the

1193
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 3: Steelers are going to be this good, why is it

1194
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 3: the line moving?

1195
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 4: Well now, it is about time. Yeah, it should have

1196
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 4: two months ago. I hope people got a couple bucks

1197
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 4: on it when they could. Yeah. So I still think

1198
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 4: ten's more likely than eight.

1199
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do too, And that plus five hundred doesn't

1200
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 3: look so bad again, when you dig into it.

1201
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 4: No, I kind of like that packer plus four twenty two. Yeah,

1202
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 4: that division is terrible, you like four twenty anyways, no

1203
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 4: matter what.

1204
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 3: Nice anyways, that's going to do it for today's show.

1205
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 3: That's a wrap. He is Matt Williamson. We'd like to

1206

Speaker 3: thank CJ Woofully for keeping us on the air, and
