Yeah, 3 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: I guess is our final hour of our final morning ultimately. Yes, 4 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: actually yesterday was the penultimate show. This is the Ultimate's 5 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: a big word now final show. I wasn't a word 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. It's a big word, and 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was a word. Yeah, there's some 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: things that have been invented since then. If I didn't 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: know avocado has existed when I was a kid, or 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: brought brought worse something. A lot of things have been 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: invented since then. From first. But anyway, we're back to Monday, Wednesday, 12 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: Friday starting Monday, and then once the regular season rolls around, 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: we'll be back to our every day four to six. 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: We'll be grinding back. Yeah. Absolutely, we'll bring in all 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: the Steelers news as I often like to do on 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: this show. Matt, I'm gonna hit you with a question 17 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: now that we haven't talked about. Bring it up. Let's 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: go just to get your natural reaction. This is matt 19 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: Is reaction. Boom, here it comes. We did not talk 20 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: about it off the air, but we didn't try to 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: bring up. So we're just talking about quarterbacks and quarterback money. Yes, 22 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: is quarterback the most Is it the most important position 23 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: in any sport? Yeah? I really think so. I mean 24 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: it can't be basketball. I mean, I think having a 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: star in basketball is at least as important as having 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: a you know, a dominant quarterback. But it could be 27 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: a Cheam or Isaiah or Jordan's. You know, it's not 28 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: eighth position on the feet. They come in all shapes 29 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: and sizes. I mean again again, I don't know the 30 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: other sports seniorly as well, but argue hockey goalie. I 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: was thinking that too, But they don't play every game, 32 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, I would have to ask a hockey expert, 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: but I think that they do not demand unbelievable salary 34 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: like quarterbacks do that. Some people think that they're sort 35 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: of interchangeable unless you have a star. Um. I think 36 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious in our you know, as a hockey fan, 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: having Gretzky Lamu Sid is more important than having the 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: stud Hall of Fame goalie in terms of raising cops, 39 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: you know, and they still only play but the third 40 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: of the game maybe, you know, including power players and 41 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: things quarterback touches the ball, every single play baseball. Right, 42 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm of the belief. And my again, my son was 43 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: a picture. It's all the way through college. I would 44 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: never ever ever pay money to a picture in baseball 45 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: because they could hurt so much. Well, the only three 46 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: they're on the mountain once every five games. You're paying 47 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: you know, these guys, these some of these pictures who 48 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: were getting you know, forty million dollars and things that 49 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: you think, like a million dollars a start, right, that 50 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: sounds pretty good. I mean, I guess quarterbacks do too. 51 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: They do, but it's fewer starts and they play every game. 52 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: But they're playing every single game you're out there for 53 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: now it's gonna be seventeen games. And as we've seen, 54 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: the quarterback position is one with the protections that are 55 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: afforded to these guys. Now, this is why the league 56 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: protects its quarterbacks because they're so important. They're so important 57 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: to the team's success and failures in the field. This 58 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: is you know, when when people talk about the nineteen 59 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: season and what the Steelers did well they went eight 60 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: eight without Ben Roethlisberger story, it's just, yeah, it doesn't 61 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: happen like that. I mean, if if MLB could protect 62 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: their pitcher's arms better, or their star hitters, or if 63 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: you could say, the Lemus and Crosbie's of the world 64 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: could get hit less in the way they do, or 65 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: Jordan gets bet rules bent for him. It's kind of 66 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: the same thing. You know, you want your stars out 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: there baseball, Like I guess I'm so not even baseball. 68 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: But Mike Trials has been like the best guy this generation, right, 69 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: and he didn't really want anything correct, correct? I mean 70 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: he's one hitter that comes up four times a game, 71 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: and that's great. But you can pitch around him, and 72 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, there are things that you can do. You 73 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: can't pitch around the quarter right, Like as good as 74 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Like everybody says Bill Belichick will take away 75 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: what you do, you can't take a quarterback away, no, 76 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: without question. I mean you said you wouldn't pay pictures, 77 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: But isn't it a huge advantage if you have a huge, 78 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: great staff. Absolutely? But do you pay one guy? Right? 79 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna go out and speak like people, 80 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: can you know we were in Pittsburgh people complaining about 81 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: the Pirates not spending money. Yeah, I'm just not spending 82 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm not giving a picture thirty or thirty million dollars 83 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: a year because it's just they get hurt a lot. 84 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: They get hurt a lot. There's a lot of stress 85 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: on the elbow, there's a lot of stress on the shoulders. 86 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: And again they're only taking the ball once every five days. Yeah, 87 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: but they nobody controls any game as much as a 88 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: picture does. It's the most important position in baseball. It's 89 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: it's I think a picture controls a baseball game more 90 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: than a quarterback. Absolutely great. You know, great pitching will 91 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: shut down. You know, I still coach baseball and sometimes 92 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: you run into a buzz picture. Who's just, hey, we 93 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: could we could go out there and with not with 94 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: a bat that's a foot wide, if you could swing 95 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: it fast enough and we're not hitting that guy, and 96 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: they can control you know, we can pitch this guy 97 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: outside so you can't pull it on us. And you know, 98 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: things like that's why you you draft pitching, Okay, And 99 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: I said, you gotta get number You draft and develop 100 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: those guys. You don't get them on their way, you 101 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: don't give them their second contract. Let somebody else, Let 102 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: somebody else pay that money. Because it is what it is, 103 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: what it is a lot of stress on their body. 104 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: I'd rather have a home run. If I'm gonna pay money, 105 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay that guy who put knocks the ball 106 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: out of the park or drives runs that also brings 107 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: fans in, you know, I mean, that's it's popular, but 108 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: as it stands at test of time or right, Yeah, 109 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,559 Speaker 1: I'm great hitters, the Pooholses or whoever that have lasted forever. 110 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: But even even like that's one of the things like these. 111 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: You know that we talked in the previous segment about 112 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: the contracts given out the Pools got like it was 113 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: a ten year all guaranteed. Of course, I'll guarantee. I 114 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 1: want to say it was two fifty million dollar contracts. 115 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm thinking of a Rodd's contract. Whatever, they were 116 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: historic at the time, they're historic contracts. Um, there's no 117 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: way any player is ever going to live up to 118 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: a ten year commitment from I want to and and 119 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: I know the Chiefs gave Mahomes a ten year deal, right, 120 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what the end of its leg in 121 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: terms of getting out of it or changing things around. 122 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: And and it doesn't preclude Pat Mahomes three years from now, 123 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: when somebody's when three or four quarterbacks moved past him 124 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: and the pay scale from coming back to say hey, 125 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: let's renegotiate. He's gonna be tenth before you know it 126 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: if he sticks with this contract, and I'm sure they 127 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: know that, or going to him to restructure next year. 128 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: It's part of the deal. But but I think the 129 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: answer to the original question is it's quarterback. It is 130 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, I don't even know. I mean, I 131 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: can't think of a single team sport. Now you can. 132 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: You can look at you know, individual sports and things 133 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: of that nature. Well, that's you know, obviously he's you know, 134 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: golfer is the most important guy on his team because 135 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: he's the one team of course. Um, but no, I mean, it's, 136 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: without a doubt quarterback. And that's why they get soccer 137 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: goalie or an elite scorer on soccer. That's why the 138 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: quarterback pay skill is what it is. Right, they're different 139 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: everybody else. They well should have there in a salary cap. 140 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: That's where I was going with this. Like even Ben, 141 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: like Ben Roethlisberger has talked about this in the past 142 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: where he thinks that quarterbacks, because of the importance of 143 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: the position, should be different. Everybody else should have their 144 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: like And I don't know how you would set that right, 145 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: because what if you draft the Dak Prescott that should 146 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: be an advantage. You can't give him thirty million a 147 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: day he becomes a starter just because he starts his 148 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: you know, the eighth game of the season as a rookie, 149 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: or Zack Wilson or fields or one of those. Or 150 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: maybe maybe the way around it would be when you're 151 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: setting your salary cap, you get one exemption a guy 152 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: that doesn't count against your cap, and you can pay that. 153 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: That could be t J. Watt, could be could be 154 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: Donald in l A. But you only get one and 155 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: then your quarterback counts against your cap, right, yeah, and 156 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: most people make it to quarterback, right. Quick question I 157 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: meant to ask about your original question. You know basketball 158 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: better than I do. Would you rather have the best 159 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: basketball player slash scorer or the best quarterback? Which one 160 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: gives you a better chance to win championships? I bet 161 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: basketball because only five guys on the court and they 162 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: play a time. It depends on the score. Does he 163 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: play any defense as he rebounds? But you get your 164 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: pick of NBA players Lebron and his prime or Yahn 165 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: whoever you want right now, it's a pretty big advantage 166 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: to have to have the basketball players they never leave 167 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: and the one they put. You know, Jordan won a 168 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: lot of championships. Lebron's wont to watch championships, Kobe, you know, 169 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: those guys only five on the floor. There's floors. So 170 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: I think that's a bigger advantage. But that doesn't mean 171 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: there's a position. It's not. Yeah, it's positions. Um, you know, 172 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: it could be it could be your center. You know, 173 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: well Chamberlain was unstoppable and um Kareem and Shack and right, no, 174 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: I hear you. But it does seem like, you know, 175 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: on the ice any given time, I'd rather have Lemieux 176 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: than the homes. But then he sits on the bench 177 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: for two thirds of the game, you know, So I'm 178 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: not sure that dictates it as much. You know, but 179 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: I think basketball, if they played forty some minutes or whatever, 180 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: it's hard to beat the stud But at the waiver 181 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: or that that roster exemption for the one guy, Yeah, 182 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: I've heard that kicked around before. You that you know, 183 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: there'd be some teams like who would Washington pick? You know, 184 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: might be like Brandon schuf instead of franchise guy. Would 185 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: you get rid of the franchise tag, then you'll keep it. 186 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: I'll get rid of it, Okay, maybe I mean that 187 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: would make sense, yeah, because some teams wouldn't love it, 188 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: but the ma Homes and Rogers and the guys the 189 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: only quarterbacks would love it. You work out for it 190 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: might lower the salary cap a little bit because of that, 191 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: you have to you have to. Maybe we don't raise 192 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: it as much as you know, because it still has 193 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: to fit the percentages. I'm looking for loopholes in the 194 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: deal though, So if you have a super rich owner 195 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't care at all about money, you could screw 196 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: the whole pay scale up though, especially if a guy 197 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: becomes a free agent and pay them ungodly money. But 198 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: then you can't do anything with anybody else. And you're 199 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: like that, That's why I'm lowering the salary cap a 200 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: little bit. We're not raising it up as much. But 201 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: you're saying one guy doesn't kind of gainst a cap. 202 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: You get an exemption for one guy against the cap. 203 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: So if Steve Hutchen or Reggie White becomes a free 204 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: agent and I pay him double what any defensive players 205 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: making in right now doesn't hurt my cap. He's gonna 206 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: come to me, and then then Bruce Smith who comes 207 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: with free agencies. I want Reggie White money, but you're 208 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to carry that on you can, you can 209 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: you carry that on your roster. You still have to 210 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: fit the rest of your roster right under your cap. 211 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: So do you have a quarterback? I say, if I 212 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: don't have an expensive quarterback, I could go get anything 213 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: I want on the open market. But I guess not 214 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: that many of those. Yeah, not that bad business. Yeah, 215 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean I was thinking, like you know, Dallas going 216 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: and buying Dion Sanders and people like that. You could 217 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: buy someone for a year, make him your exempt, but 218 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: then troys on making anything, you know what I mean, 219 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: and you upset the apple cart in your locker room too, 220 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: Like oh yeah, big time. If this guy's making as 221 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: much as the rest of the defense. I mean, it's 222 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: that was part of the thing I was thinking about, 223 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: is you don't want somebody just to you know, be 224 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: worth half what. I'm sure there would be a dumb 225 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: team out there. They would do it. Yeah, there would 226 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: be would team or something like that. Go gets an 227 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: incredible player, put the you know, a team like Jacksonville, 228 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't have a huge be honest, most of the time, 229 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: those players such as Reggie White, those are once in 230 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: a generation guys that hit the open market. I had 231 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: to go back twenty years to come up with a right, right, 232 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: I mean more than that and watch more than that? Yeah, 233 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: I when I was a teenager. Basically, Yeah, there aren't 234 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: many that change the league landscape that hit the open market. Yeah, 235 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Brandon Shrefft, Jack Conklin doesn't count, you know what I mean. 236 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: And what I was gonna come up with, hutchen Sin. 237 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: You know, that was a long time ago to you know, 238 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: the Walter Jones of the world don't hit the open market. Yeah, 239 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: so fair enough. Yeah, so it's a conversation. I think 240 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: it's possible to do it. I think it's something that 241 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if they would get the 242 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: NFLPA to sign off on it. I don't if I'd 243 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: like it or not. Yeah, I mean like that right now, 244 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: if I think if you dangled that carret and said, hey, 245 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: we'll get rid of the franchise tag to do this, 246 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: to have an exempt guy, yeah, well, the top one 247 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: percent of the league would vote for they all gonna 248 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: get the top one. The top one percent of the 249 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: league are the guys who voted against the last a contract. 250 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: Like what would Rogers have been asking for if that 251 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: were the rules? Or will you know one of these 252 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: guys that's not happy that is the highest paid guy. 253 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: You can give him everything you can give a piece 254 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: of the team. Yeah, interesting though, I mean, like something 255 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: don't think about the Steelers have been very useful the 256 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: last couple of years. To have been not calm against 257 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: the cap and have the cap a little smaller. T 258 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: J would be fine, but you'd rather be your stud 259 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: quarterback that's leading you to double digit wins right here, 260 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: you know. But then if you're that team that doesn't 261 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: have that's not paying the quarterback big money, you could 262 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: make that somebody else at some point the quarterback presumably 263 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: is going to get big money. Like I'm saying, every 264 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 1: thinking of Cleveland. Ideally, well Baker become that guy, even 265 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: though it's Miles Garrett now right, you know what I mean? 266 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: You would hope you know, I think it would. I 267 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: think it would allow for less of what we saw 268 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: this past offseason where he saw a lot of veterans 269 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: getting cut loose for teams to get under the cap 270 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: because cap went down. But yeah, yeah, that's a good 271 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: point in that middle class. You know, we we talked 272 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: about this last week that the Steelers don't have that 273 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: middle class. They're not alone. They had to purge themselves 274 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: for the basically the middle class because of their cap situation. Well, 275 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: these guys aren't as valuable as these guys, so we 276 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: need to get that'd be a big thing if I 277 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: were part of the Players Association, was we need a 278 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: middle class. There's too many qualified football players on the 279 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: street that deserve two three. We're just talking. We were 280 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: watching the Top one and k J. Right was on there. Yeah, 281 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: and he's he's on them. He's still on the free 282 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,479 Speaker 1: agent market Ingram and Turner were free agents Top Oneyer 283 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: and yeah, you know the Steelers have gotten they signed 284 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: two Pro Bowl guys, former Pro Bowl guys and on 285 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: the open market, and there's probably yeah, yeah, yeah, I 286 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: mean there's probably many of them out there right now 287 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: that need a break or you know, the people on 288 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: the cap space. It happens every year that that middle 289 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: class doesn't quite get what they deserve as a quality 290 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: starter but not a special player. Because there's a cheap 291 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of cheap Yeah, just cheap labor comes 292 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: to cheap labor coming in every year every year. Is 293 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna take another break. He is Matt Williamson. I'm 294 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: Dale Lully. You're listening to the drive here on Steelers 295 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: Nation Radio. We'll be back with more right after this, 296 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: back on d l Ally here with Matt Williamson and 297 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: I at on ESPN. They had their sp Nation come 298 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: up with a comeback player, our bounce back player of 299 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: the Year for each team, TEAMA team. So I thought 300 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: we'd run through some of these names. Some of them 301 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: are injuries or down years or whatever COVID. I'm sure 302 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: some in some came right. So we'll start in the 303 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: NFC North, since, of course the start North for the Ravens. 304 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: The guy is Kevin Zeitler. Not bad. That would be 305 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: big for them. I would kind of put all in 306 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: that conversation to new team near nearing the end of 307 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: their career being counted on for valuable snaps, that's a 308 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: good one. The more candidates I think for that than 309 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: you could look at Lamar to a certain degree in 310 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: that regard. I was thinking Parks round, I don't know 311 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: if you count Patrick Queen because he's rookie year. You 312 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: can't have a bounce back here when you when you've 313 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: never been high you know that that what are you 314 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: bouncing back from? Right that? I wasn't wondering like that. 315 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: Those guys, you know who do you want to step 316 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: up as a different conversation than you were playing at 317 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: high level? Dropped and now you need to get back up. 318 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: Now they got a couple of candidates. You're right. For 319 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals, it's that Adobe O Wuzier, not bad. I 320 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: was thinking a lot of their defensive players. They anybody 321 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: on their defense. Yeah, you know reader, he was playing well. 322 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: Mix it hurt mix into some degree without question. Um. Yeah, 323 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: they got a plenty of candidates and the whole defense 324 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: is littered with them, besides Bates. For the Browns, it's 325 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. Yeah, that's the obvious one, like every year. Yeah, 326 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: that's the obvious one. Maybe you could even do well. 327 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: I guess that's that's kind of like the Queen conversation. 328 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: I was gonna say greedy or delp it, but they've 329 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: never done no Odells and like the poster boy for this. Yeah, 330 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: for the Steelers. It's Trey Turner. Okay. I mean he's 331 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: been injured and if he can get back to Pro 332 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: Bowl or your Pro Bowl level, that would go a 333 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: long way to help in this line. It's it's funny 334 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: to me, like the Ravens get wow, they signed Kevin Zeitler, Um, 335 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: who's better in their prime? Who was a better player? 336 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: Trade Turner? Yeah? Who's better? Now? You know? One got 337 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: him cheap, One got him the second free agency open 338 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: for big money, three three years, twenty two million dollars. Right, 339 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: I'm not sure i'd rather have but for the buck, 340 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: I'd rather have Turner, right, Turner's much younger player. Zitlers 341 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: thirty two? Yeah, Turners twenty eight Right now, Okay, I 342 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: mean who's who's more likely to have likely to bounce back? 343 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: It is probably Turner. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good point. 344 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: So it doesn't get the same credit that the Ravens signing. No, 345 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: it does it fix their line? We found on his replacement. 346 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: I get it he played bad last year, but yeah, 347 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: I don't know right, right, And did anybody on the 348 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: Chargers line play well, that's there's a carry over there. 349 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: And I had this discussion with somebody on my message 350 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: board on on d K Pittsburgh Sports asking me about 351 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: how about you know what was what we're Schobert's problems 352 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: last year in Jacksonville. He didn't He didn't grade out 353 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: very well. They look at the PF grades. Everyone shortcuts that. Yeah, 354 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: I looked at that too, and like, I looked up 355 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: his stats on Pro Football Reference and he gave up 356 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: a higher completion percentage last year than he had in 357 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: a higher passer rating than he had. Here's the difference though. 358 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: When he was in Cleveland, his depth of average depth 359 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: of target was like eight point one yards. They had 360 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: that reference. Yeah, that's interesting. His average targeted depth of 361 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: target last year in jackson was like five point one 362 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: quick hitters, quick hitters, dump back and those are easy completions. 363 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: Of course you're gonna give up more catches. Yeah, that 364 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: makes you closer to the line of scrimmage. It's probably 365 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: even coached to do so. Crosser. They completed tackle him 366 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 1: six yard gain on third and seven, and so much 367 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: of it's what are you being asked to do in 368 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: that defense? And I thought you're gonna say something like, boy, 369 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: you had no pass for rush, so he had to 370 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: be in coming didn't help there. Yeah, I mean it's 371 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: a team game. You're playing two games a season against 372 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, that that's going to affect things. You know. 373 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: In fact, the turner, there aren't many instances where four 374 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: linemen are bad and one on on the offense. It's 375 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: just a stud and it does just locks everything down 376 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: like it's a unit. I mean, like it rarely does 377 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,479 Speaker 1: one guy to shine. And it's just you know, they 378 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: run a stunt on you and the other guy was 379 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: supposed to pick it up, and now the guy's running 380 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: past you and you get well, he blew. He blew 381 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: his block there, it wasn't my block. And again in 382 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: profoball focus grades leave a lot to be desired. And 383 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: I know that's the two spots in particular, offensive offensive 384 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: line playing coverage. They have no idea what the guy's responsibility, 385 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: knowing the assignments and the rules and the checks and 386 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: I passed this guy to this guy. I don't think 387 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: that they know that. And and those are the ones 388 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: that people quote the most because they're the most were 389 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: the hardest ones because nobody knows is that guy good 390 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: in coverage and he's badge white outs, We say, well 391 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: he scored this many fantasy points and he's just many touchdowns, 392 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: and I have stats that are quantifiable. You know, for years, 393 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: the argument about the Steelers cornerbacks was, well, they're giving 394 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: up all these these eight you know, these catches in 395 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: front of them, and they come up and tackle them. 396 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: They're that's what they're told to do, That's how they 397 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: were drafted. Yeah, don't let them get over right, they're 398 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: gonna make plays on pass rush and yeah, and I'm 399 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: not bashing Pro Football Focus because I'm almost certain every 400 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: team has access or subscribes and uses their data and 401 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: and finds it as a useful resource. But none of 402 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: them care about the grade. They really don't. I mean, 403 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: if you ask Kevin Colbert but he didn't grade, we'll 404 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: be like, I don't. I didn't even know. He never 405 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He doesn't know or care 406 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: about that one bit, nor should he. No, Let's look 407 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: at the a f C. East here Um, the Buffalo Bills. 408 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: The guys met Milano. It was hurt a lot last year, 409 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: and they gave him money. Talked about this a million times. 410 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: They are the perfect example of two every down linebackers 411 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: that is a foundation of their defense. So they can 412 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: stay in nicol The interesting thing here is that the 413 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: writer is Marcel Luis shack Uh says Milano has been 414 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: inconsistent throughout his career. Would you say, I don't know 415 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: if I would say they love him. They just gave 416 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: him money. He's really good in coverage. I don't know 417 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: if i'd say he's inconsistent for the Dolphins. Is Byron Jones? Yeah, 418 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: that makes sense. I mean they gave him big money, 419 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: which was probably too much money. And it's always the 420 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: problem with going out in the free agent market. A 421 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: guy's going to a new system. Does he fit in 422 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: the system right? And are they quite as hungry after 423 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: signing a big deal and you're up in age you 424 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: can't pay for past performance. That Dolphins off season two 425 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: years ago looks horrendous. They're like they've spent all kinds 426 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: of money and they were the dream team that won 427 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: the free agent mar won the off season. Well, they 428 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: have nothing to show for. Interesting that you say that, 429 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: because the Patriots guys Kyle van Noy, one of the guys, 430 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: the other guy that the Dolphins paid, they just for 431 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: cheap because Miami gave him big money. Everybody assume he's 432 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: going to his former defensive coordinator's defense here. He should 433 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: be fine, and he wasn't bad. They gave him all 434 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: kinds of the wave much money for him. Right. For 435 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: a role player for the Jets, it's LaMarcus Joyner. Yeah, 436 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: he kind of fell off last year and their secondary 437 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: needs all the help we can get to. Yeah, moving 438 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: on to the a f C South. For the Texans, 439 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: they had to name somebody here. Justin Reid is their guy. Okay, 440 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: I honestly don't know if he had a good or 441 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: bad season last year. They're using Pro Football Focus here 442 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: said he grated out a sixty point seven. I mean, 443 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how a safety would grade well on 444 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: a horrific if you have to cover all day long. 445 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's one of their found and 446 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: he's one of the best defensive players. If it's not 447 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: saying a thing. Right. For the Colts, this one's obvious. 448 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Yeah, he's awful. Last year. I would think 449 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: like and Old Winds, guys like that are slam dugs. 450 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: For the Jaguars, it's Shack Griffin, and he was a 451 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: guy that a lot of people looked at. So he's 452 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: gonna get a ton of money on free agent marketing. 453 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure why. Yeah, their defense was bad in 454 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: Seattle too. They probably overspent on Griffin um big corner 455 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: that has had success in the league, but last year 456 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: wasn't his best year. Yeah, he's not gonna be for everyone. No, No, 457 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: he's not. Uh. For the Titans, it's Roger Staffold. I 458 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: think he had some injuries too. Yeah, he's been a 459 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: high end guard that on that point come back and 460 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: they're breaking a new tackle and uh, Dylan Radunes in 461 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: the f C West. Uh, it's linebacker alex and Alexander Johnson. Yeah, 462 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: he's a decent player for them. Fangio hasn't got this 463 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: done with Denver, but he wants the Willis Bowman right ideally, 464 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: he wants that that and Johnson is the closest thing 465 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: they have to it, and they just have never really 466 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: gotten him. For him. For Kansas City, this is an 467 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: interesting one. It's one thorn Hill. He was hurt, like 468 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: everybody's raving about him his rookie year here and then 469 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: then was hurt a lot. They have a lot of 470 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: those versatile safety covermen math isl types, and that's important 471 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: for him. He was good. Honestly, they could have put anybody, 472 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: a lot of guys in their dep Frank Clark should 473 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: be on that. Frank Clark's a perfect one. Yeah, he 474 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: would have been my pick now I think about it. Yeah. Uh. 475 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: For the Raiders, Casey Hayward Jr. Yeah, and he's been 476 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: hurt here and there, and I think he's capable of 477 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: bouncing That ship may have sailed and he's thirty two. 478 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: I believe that defense and needs it though. Yeah, I 479 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: don't know that thirty two cornerbacks bounced back the years. 480 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: He wasn't a super gifted guy to begin with. For 481 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: the Chargers it's Brian Blaga. Again, they needed him, but Filer, 482 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Filer's ability to play right tackle has value 483 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: for them. In case Blaga doesn't bounce back, they could 484 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: bounce them back out. Uh, let's move on to the 485 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: NFC East. For the Cowboys, it's Jordan Lewis cornerback. Okay, 486 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: we could do like Lake Jarwin or Tyrone. Jordan Lewis 487 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: is capable of. I think Jordan Lewis is who George 488 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: Lewis is. Yeah, he's a smaller, feisty, slot type corner. 489 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: I kind of liked them coming out of Michigan, he's 490 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: been fine. Yeah. For the Giants, it's Will Hernandez the guard. Yeah. 491 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if he fits the league anymore. He's 492 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 1: a big thick, you know, barroom brawler. Barkley has been 493 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: a good one, yeah, or even Nate Soldier coming back 494 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: and they had a lot of them. Yeah. For the 495 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: Eagles it's Fletcher Cox. It was good, he wasn't the lead, yeah, right, 496 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: and they're very dependent on him being Fletcher Cox. Yeah. 497 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: For Washington, Terry McLaurin, I don't see that at all. No, 498 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: he was great and then he got greater in his 499 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: second years. He's done nothing wrong. Again, they're using the 500 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus rates, which I don't care one bit 501 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: about it. Don't either, But if you have been in 502 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: Kansas City, how about the safety for them? U uh? 503 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: Landing calling then and Collins are paying him a ton 504 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: of money. Yeah, it's not a bad one. I'm sure 505 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: you're coming with McLaren's our best player basically, ye. And 506 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: he's been playing an elite level really bad quarterbacks yea. 507 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: How much of that was his fault and how much 508 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: of that was their quarterback? That's a bad one for 509 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: the Bears. Desmond Truffont. Yeah, he's kind at that point 510 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: of his career that you mentioned with Hayward, like, I 511 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 1: don't know, probably ship is sale. Can you hang on 512 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: for another year and get something out of him? For 513 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: the Lions Tracy Walker the safety, yeah, I mean they've 514 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: changed their roster so dramatically. I don't know who you 515 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: can hang that on. The offense is totally different. For 516 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: the Packers, this is actually good to Impreston Smith. Yeah, 517 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: he was kind of maybe a salary cap, casualty, you know, 518 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: a portion of his career, big contract. He's been good, 519 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: just not quite up to that level. And Rashawn Garry's 520 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: coming on, and you know, for the Vikings this is 521 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: an obvious one as well. Patrick Peterson Yeah, I mean 522 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a We've brought up a 523 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: couple of corners and makes me think of Hayden. You know, 524 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: do you really want to invest in these guys? How 525 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: many of these corners actually bounced back? I bet one? Right, 526 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, the odds aren't in their favor again. I 527 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: think the thing working in Hayden's favors that his game 528 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: was never predicated on speed. It's always been above the 529 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: neck for the Falcons in the NFC South, Greedy Jarrett, 530 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: I don't know that every play, and he's their best 531 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: defensive player by a million miles. I think if Julio 532 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: Jones were still in the roster, it would been Julio Jones. 533 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: In fact, he would have been a good one for Titans, 534 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: probably come with ten guys on defense to some of 535 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: their alignment as well. For Carolina, this is a good 536 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: one again. Another cornerback a j. Bouye, Yeah, bounce around 537 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: the league up in age. A couple of teams have 538 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: turned her back on you. Donald would certainly qualify to. Yeah, 539 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: although he's never played at a high level. Yeah, what's 540 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: he bouncing back to? Right? Right? Right? For the Saints, 541 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: it's Marshawn Lattimore. He's been up and down. Yeah, I 542 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: think that might be who he is. I think he's 543 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: an inconsistent. The fact that there are so many cornerbacks 544 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: on this list just shows you how difficult it is 545 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: to play cornerback at a high level in this league. 546 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: It's really hard to stay amongst the best or to 547 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: be consistent year after year. And even the profitable numbers 548 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: would focus numbers would show you that that there's a 549 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: new lead dog every year. You know, it's hard to 550 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: maintain it. Yeah. For the Bucks, Chris Godwin, I don't 551 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: think he was down. He was injured a lot. He 552 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: wasn't as good as he was the year before that. 553 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: But I don't know if that was his fault. I mean, 554 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: if he were to, I think he's free agent after 555 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: the year. If some team paid him, I'd say, I 556 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: get it. I mean, I don't know if I pay 557 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: a receiver, but I get it. I also could see 558 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: a B being their best receiver this year, you know, 559 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: moving quickly to the a f C WET or NFC West. 560 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones for the Cardinals, Yes, that out the whole 561 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: year was making us think about his country. Ben j 562 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: j on their Yeah, right right. For the Rams, Tyler, 563 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: it was bigby. Has you ever been down? Okay, he 564 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: wasn't as good last year as he asked the year before. 565 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: He wasn't as impactful. I should say that two years ago. 566 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: Stretched though he finished the season like he was Gronk. Yeah, 567 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: he's never going to get to that point again. For 568 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: the forty Niners, Eric Armstead, Yeah, when Buckner left, he 569 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: was just good not great. Could go with Jimmy g 570 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: On there too. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, they had a lot, 571 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,479 Speaker 1: so many injuries last year. You can pick him any him, 572 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: but this one for the Seahawks. Jamal Adams interesting. The 573 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: guy they just gave a whole bunch of money. Yeah, 574 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how he grades, and frankly, I don't care, 575 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,719 Speaker 1: but I don't know that he's any less impactful than 576 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: he was in previous years. Would have been on that 577 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: list probably good. He wasn't real consistent, though consistent if 578 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: you look at his productions, his season overall looks great 579 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: in total. Much of it was in three games, that's 580 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: very true, and that's killing him like in fantasy drafts 581 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: right now. But their whole offense was a disaster the 582 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: last six weeks or so. Yeah, I think so as well. 583 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: But that's that's the list at the nfcad or the 584 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: NFL Nation came up with. Uh, he is Matt Williamson. 585 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: I'm kind of Steelers. I'd pick no, you know what 586 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, I hear you on that. Maybe juju. Yeah, 587 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be a bad one, you know, But anyway, 588 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: so we're gonna take a break. He is Matt Williamson. 589 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lully. When we come back, it's time for 590 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: the Fantasy Football Focus. We'll do that right after this. 591 00:30:33,040 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: This is Black and Gold fan Heaven sent r back 592 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: on d l E here with Matt Williamson. It's time 593 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: for the Fantasy Football Focus. And this being the last 594 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: show of the week, and I know people are starting 595 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: to draft. Oh yeah, this season. They're firing up here. 596 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: I thought we'd go through some a dps here Matt 597 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: and uh figure out who we like and who we 598 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: don't like at their current a DP. What's interesting, too 599 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: is this is a much bigger subject. I'm sure we'll 600 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: cover it. You know over the next couple of weeks 601 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: is a lot of ADPs are changing. Just one games. 602 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: Gaskin didn't plays with the ones. That will change drastically 603 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: after this week's game, and this week will really change. 604 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: I was gonna say is don't overreact to the first 605 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: preseason game ever. You know that this guy is crazy 606 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: with the ones or all that, but pay attention to 607 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: one coming up. I'm not gonna do a lot with 608 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: the top ten here. We know who they're I'm looking 609 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: here at CBS sports dot COM's draft averages. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, 610 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: it's McCaffrey, cook, Henry Camara, Kamara, Ezekiel Elliott five, Davante 611 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: Adam six, Aaron Jones seven, Travis Kelsey eight, Patrick Mahomes nine. 612 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: I don't like that, and I don't like that. I 613 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: don't think he's that much different than that, But they don't. 614 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: They're not necessarily measuring here. Is this A two quarterback 615 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: league is just a this is But don't take a 616 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: quarterback in first round, folks. If you're in a single 617 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: quarterback league, I don't care who the quarterback. I wonder 618 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: if there's some kids that just want to do that, 619 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, like my fifteen year old does a mock 620 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: draft every day. Yeah, you know, I'm sure his buddies 621 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: take my homes earlier than they should. Yeah, you know, 622 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: things like that. Um, Nick Chubb ten, Okay, real quick though, Elliott, Barkley, 623 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: Jones have all started to spike a little bit more. 624 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: They're starting to heat up. I think there's been some 625 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: injuries to other guys. Um. I think people are realizing 626 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: that they running back steel more comfortable with them. And frankly, 627 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: you see Zeke Elliott on hard knocks and it's easier 628 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: to pick them and things like that. He's coming back. 629 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: Uh at ten. Chubb eleven is se Quam Barkley, that's 630 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: down six spots. I was just saying he's up. I 631 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: think he's starting to trend the right direction, but maybe 632 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: not because when the last time that they updated this 633 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: was but he just got activated like two days ago, 634 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: so maybe that's not taken effect yet. I don't feel 635 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: but I don't know what to do with sake on 636 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: sake one Barklay and issues. I think he's a guy 637 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: that you want to see playing the preseason. He's not 638 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: going to I don't think. I think he's someone you 639 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,239 Speaker 1: just wanted someone else to draft higher than you want to, 640 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, and that might burn you because he is 641 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: ultra ultra productive, unhealthy. But that team stinks. It's bad. Yeah, 642 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: and the injuries are massive over the last couple of years. 643 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: And they played two games against Washington, which is gonna 644 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: be tough, tough sledding. Philadelphia will be tough sledding. UM 645 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: twelve is Austin Ekeler, And I know you like Austin, 646 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: but in that neighborhood, I think it's too high for him. 647 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: I don't some of these running backs who are right 648 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: after him are going to get way more touches. I 649 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: bet again, I should mention this because I'm hosting a 650 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: live fantasy chat today. Check my Twitter timeline. And so 651 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: I've done my initial very rough draft rankings. I have 652 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: Nausey and Gibson ahead of Akler, even though I still 653 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: think I'm pretty high Onkel. You know I had chubbed 654 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: behind all those guys. Yeah, you mentioned already. My problem 655 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 1: with Er is that he's never He's twenty six years old. Noough, 656 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: he's not young. Guy has been the league for a 657 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: few years now, never scored more than three rushing touchdowns, 658 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: never carried the ball more than a hundred fifty times. Right, 659 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: I can't take that guy is my number one back, 660 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: even if I think he's going to catch eighty passes 661 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: this year. And I know people are thinking, well, he's 662 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: gonna be Kamara in their offense. I think you will think, 663 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: but he's not as talented as tomar is a better player, 664 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: without question's a better offensive line. Um, well yeah, yeah, 665 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: then the Saints Lime was really good. But I think 666 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: the Chargers have a good line. I mean, Echler to 667 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: me right around the one to turn. I'm very fine with, 668 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: but I'm not saying. Okay, So thirteen is Tyreek Hill. Yeah, 669 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna take a back over receiving no 670 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: matter what. But fourteen is Jonathan Taylor. That's a conversation 671 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: to me. I don't know how many balls Taylor's gonna catch. 672 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: I think you'll catch some. He did, and Rivers is 673 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: a checkdown master, though Wins will still throw to the 674 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: running backs. I mean he checked Marlon. Max is looking 675 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: good though, and it's not going away. Uh, fifteen is 676 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: Josh Allen Again, don't take a quarterback that hot. Sixteen 677 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: is Naja Harris. I'm taking Naja Harris ahead of El 678 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: R and Gibson as well. Gibson Harris to me, I'm 679 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: really torn who's ahead, and we're gonna get the Gibson here. 680 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: We still still haven't mentioned him. Yeah, yeah, I know. Uh. 681 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: Seventeen is Stefon Diggs. Okay, I mean all those receivers, 682 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't care what order people have them, and they're 683 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: they're all good. Eighteens Joe Mixon. I'll take R ahead 684 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: of Joe Mixon. Yeah, but Maxon's workload could be as 685 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: good as Harris or Gibson or can you stay healthy? 686 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: He's just burned here a couple of times. Yeah, and 687 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 1: he's not super young anymore either. I'm shocked. I haven't. 688 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: We haven't gotten the Gibson yet here, right all right. 689 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: Nineteen is DeAndre Hopkins. I get it. I mean it's 690 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: one of those elite receivers. Twenty is George Kittle. That's 691 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 1: too high for me, that's a little rough. Twenty one 692 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: is can taking Waller over Kittle. I'm taking Waller over Kiddle, Yes, absolutely. 693 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: Twenty one is Calvin Ridley. Sure. Twenty two dk Metcalf. 694 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: I metcalf pretty high on my list. I think he's 695 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: up for a huge one. Twenty three is Clyde Edwards Hilaire. 696 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have him over to Gison Gibson, right right. 697 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,439 Speaker 1: I'm fine with Hilaire. Yeah, I mean, I think he's 698 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: like the twelfth back, but it's kind of the whole 699 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: to me. Him and ekel Are are kind of similar. 700 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: How many touchdowns? How many rushing touchdowns? Are the score? 701 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 1: A few few? Yeah? I like Eckler's situation and track 702 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: record better, but their usage will probably be very similar, 703 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 1: you know. Twenty four is Justin Jefferson he's great. Yeah, 704 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 1: twenty five is finally Antonio Gibson. If you can get 705 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson a twenty five in your draft, you should 706 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: you should just stand up and just drop your drop 707 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: your stuff and say, okay, draft is done. That's the 708 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: first pick in the third round. So if you got 709 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: the first pick, you got McCaffrey, you come out of 710 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: that with McCay, Justin Jefferson and Antonio Gibbs in the 711 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: twelfth team league. I'm putting a chip down on you 712 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: to win it. I mean, frankly, if you told me 713 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: I could have Gibson with the first pick in the 714 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: second round, I think that's where he should go. Somewhere 715 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: in that heartbeat right now, somewhere in that range. He's 716 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: gonna catch the football I had him. I think he's 717 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: like my eighth overall player and they're all running back, 718 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: so he's my eighth running back and maybe even seventh. 719 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean, like I had him really high. Six is 720 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift interesting? That's wrote an article. I think I said, 721 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: sast of Lions preview stuff really productive, but in spurts 722 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 1: last year, and I think Jamal Williams is going away. 723 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: One thing I knowed when I did some Lions research. 724 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: I mean Swift was an active but every snap that 725 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: golf took, Williams was on the field. I mean, coaches 726 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: love Williams and they gave him money right up. It 727 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: comes back to the past blocking trust. They just trust him. 728 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: You know, every coach he's been around loves them. He's 729 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: a guy who's kind of sneaky. He is because he 730 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: won't fall apart if they're down thirty. A J. Brown's 731 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. I know Keenan Keenan Allen is super steady, 732 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: but I guarantee there's some receivers below him, Like I 733 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: know what his ceiling and floora are. I know they 734 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: were just listed ahead of him, but like metcalf or 735 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 1: A J. Brown have much higher ceiling, much higher seel 736 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: like mc floren might have a higher ceiling. If you're 737 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: trying to win your league, doubles are great. Keenan Allen 738 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,399 Speaker 1: as great as your number two. Like he's a really 739 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: high end number two. I don't want him as by 740 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: number one, not so much. I mean, I mean it's safe, 741 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: it's it's risk of if you went running back, running 742 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: back and then you take Keenan Allen, You're like, Okay, 743 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: that's fine. I'm fine, but you better hit a home 744 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: run with your third receiver or something like that. I mean, 745 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: you don't win leagues with doubles twenty nine Darren Waller, 746 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: little low. I mean we've already talked flip flop Waller 747 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: and killed thirties. JK. Dobbins. I keep warming up to him. 748 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's when you when you actually put it 749 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,439 Speaker 1: on paper and build a spreadsheet. I had them pretty high, 750 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: and I'm like right there. In terms of backs, I mean, 751 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: I think it's probably the whatever back number that is. 752 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,959 Speaker 1: I think is where I have Dobbins after the first tier. 753 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,479 Speaker 1: There's a whole run of quarterbacks here. Then probably skip 754 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 1: those guys. But Lamar Jackson justin Herbert, Kyler, Murray, Aaron Rodgers. 755 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,240 Speaker 1: Too high for Herbert, Yeah, a little high for Rogers 756 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: too over Dak Tackson versus Murray's an argument. Yeah today, 757 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: But as the number three quarterback, I think the number 758 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: two first two quarterbacks, you think Allen's a clear too. 759 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: I think Mahomes and Allan are. Here's the thing about Alan, 760 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna throw thirty five touchdown passes. Yeah, and he'll 761 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: probably score another six or seven on the ground himself. 762 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: He'll beat Kyler and Lamar through the air, yeah that 763 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: I know. He'll also run for four or five hundred 764 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: yards and score. He probably out touchdown them as well, probably, 765 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: But Kyler was number one before he got injured, I 766 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: mean him, and he was running at a ridiculous rate injured, 767 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,919 Speaker 1: and the year before Lamar like set fantasy records. I'd 768 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: rather just take whoever fell to me, But I would 769 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:31,919 Speaker 1: not want to be the guy who made the first 770 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: one of those picks, but no second, right? Uh? Do 771 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: you think that over Rodgers? And yeah, some of his 772 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: other guys. Thirty five Allen Robinson, he's kind of keen 773 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: and alan ish. The problem with Allen Robinson that I 774 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: have is the quarterback situation. I don't know who you 775 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: want trust those quarterbacks to get him the football consistently. 776 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: I think it has to be fields before long. But 777 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: does that help him or hurt him? Yeah? But he's 778 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 1: always had terrible quarterbacks. He always produces. Yeah, great player. 779 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: I mean he produced with Blake Bortles, right right? Uh? 780 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 1: Thirty six is David Montgomery about that two Bears? Yeah? 781 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: But like I had Dobbins over Montgomery and felt good 782 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: about it. He's okay, he's a starter. Thirty seven is 783 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,359 Speaker 1: Chris Carson. I think Chris Carson might be a little 784 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: undervalued for what he did last year. It's funny you 785 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: said that medium I mentioned my son. He's his ordinary 786 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: is grits and then he produces and my son last night, 787 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: it's like Dad sent me your list, you know, like 788 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 1: I sent it to him, and of course his first 789 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: lot was you're too low on Carson and I never 790 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: get him anywhere. And I even said it on the 791 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: air on one of my podcasts the other day. It's like, 792 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: I disrespect this guy every draft and every draft he produces. 793 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: I owned zero shares of him anywhere. But he's good. 794 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 1: I mean, you plug him into starting lineup every week. 795 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: If you went a better Montgomery, this is a thirty seven. 796 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: So if you went running back receiver receiver with your 797 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: next two picks and you had to settle for Carson 798 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,280 Speaker 1: as your number two running back, you're fine. You're fine. 799 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: If you look at the other running backs drafted in 800 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: this area, Josh j Acobs, Montgomery was right before Miles Sanders. Montgomery, 801 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: like Sanders, there's a lot of variants with I'm taking 802 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,320 Speaker 1: Carson above those guys though. He's the Keenan Allen argument, 803 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,800 Speaker 1: he's the double Yeah. You know what's gonna get fourth rounder? Great? Yeah, 804 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: and there's an argument that he should be a late 805 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: second rounder. Terry McLaurin all the way down to thirty's 806 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: way undervalue. Josh Jacobs at thirty nine, that's right around 807 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: where he belongs. That's what he does over a year, 808 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 1: basically Robert Woods. I think people are sleeping on him 809 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. He's not sexy either, but situation is 810 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: better than ever. He carries the football, he's really good. Yeah, 811 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: don't forget about him. If you're look you're looking for 812 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: that high end wide receiver to this year, that will 813 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: never hurt you. Yeah, he's gonna go out at the 814 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: end of the year. You're gonna look up and he's 815 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,800 Speaker 1: gonna have eighty five catches for over a thousand yeards 816 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,240 Speaker 1: of score, eight touchdowns. And it could be better with Stafford, 817 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: it won't be worse, right, Yeah, And then I don't 818 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,879 Speaker 1: know that they're in game is gonna be I bet 819 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: they throw a higher percentage. Uh, this one's just way 820 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: too low. Forty one a Ceedee Lamb, I get it. 821 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: I mean I like him a lot. I'd rather McLaurin. 822 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,320 Speaker 1: I think he's a high end wide receiver too. Yeah, 823 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: this is low end wide receiver too. Maybe high end 824 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Three receivers listed above them? Would you rather have? Though? 825 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many good receivers, there's a lot. 826 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: Would you rather have Ceedee Lamb? Or when we talked 827 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: about Allen Robinson situation, I trust Ceedee Lamb situation swing 828 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: for the fences. Yeah, he's got a higher upside. I 829 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,760 Speaker 1: trust him. I'd rather have Ceedee Lamb over Keenan Allen 830 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: for the upside. I think so. Um, but that's a 831 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: pretty tough I mean that's a tough neighborhood. It really is. 832 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 1: I think I think what's pushing these guys down as 833 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,879 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks being ranked ahead of which is I'd never 834 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: take seed. I'd never take Josh Allen over Ceedee Lamb. 835 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,359 Speaker 1: Forty two miles Sanders. We talked a little bit about him. Yeah, 836 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 1: there's some variants there. For three is Travis a t N. 837 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,919 Speaker 1: I was really high on him. I'm starting to cool 838 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: down a little. When you start doing ranks. I don't 839 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: know that I trust that coaching staff. I don't know 840 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: what to think of that coaching staff. The hand they 841 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: gave Joe Joe Schobert away, right, the rest of the 842 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: league is trying to acquire two coverage inside linebackers. They 843 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: gave one away, they gave one away, and they do 844 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 1: odd things. They finally released Hebow. I could see if 845 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 1: they're loving Robinson, but they used the first round pick 846 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: on a running back. I guess that's the neighborhood, you know, 847 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: Like I'm kind of high on trade sermon. I think 848 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: I have sermon ahead of a t N forty four 849 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: Amory Cooper, not from me, not from me, but Lamb 850 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: is going ahead of Cooper. That's what think. That's right. Yeah, 851 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 1: forty Russell Wilson the other quarterback. I would rather have 852 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson than Rogers or a couple of guys. Herbert, Yeah, 853 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 1: me too. I think he's up for a huge year. 854 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 1: He's actually one of my target quarterbacks for sure. Forty 855 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,799 Speaker 1: six is Juleo Jones, and he is not for me 856 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: in that Tennessee Titans offense. You're thinking of the Julio 857 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: Jones that played for Atlanta where they're putting the ball 858 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: in the air forty times a game. That will change. 859 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: They're gonna throw the ball if they if they have 860 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 1: their way times in the game. Ten of those passes 861 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,879 Speaker 1: are gonna go to a j Brown. Oh yeah, he's 862 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:24,840 Speaker 1: gonna be their leading receiver. Julio doesn't score touchdowns. He 863 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: doesn't and and a lot of it isn't the Falcon's fault. 864 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: It's Julio's fault. He's not a great go up and 865 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 1: get it guy. Um. The thing I like about him 866 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: that I think you aren't as fond of is if 867 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: I take him in this neighborhood after going back heavy 868 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 1: before that, my fourth receiver is probably gonna be pretty 869 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 1: good for when he gets hurt, you know what I mean, 870 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 1: They'll be I don't know, Judy or Claypool or somebody 871 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 1: like that. It'll be a high upside guy that hopefully hits. Yeah. 872 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 1: I just don't I don't trust his track record of 873 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: injuries all that kind of stuff. I've never owned him. Thought, 874 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: is Dak Prescott too low? Way too If you're gonna 875 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: rank those other quarterbacks ahead, uh forty eight Cooper Cup quality. 876 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: But I don't know if he's from me I'm might 877 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:12,399 Speaker 1: try to avoid they're not the same forty nine Mark Andrews. Yeah, 878 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: I think he's ready for the bounce back. That segment. 879 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: We did the bounce back here in fifty Kyle Pitts, 880 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 1: Pitts versus Andrews versus Hawk, who wasn't mentioned, is not 881 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: mentioned on there. I'm looking down here real quick to 882 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 1: see where Hawkinson's trade. I change those three every My goodness, Hawkins, 883 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,720 Speaker 1: I'm down in the eighties and Hawkinson's not. Dallas Goddard's 884 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 1: on there before Hawkinson. Wow, I would have Hackinson. Hawkinson's 885 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: by four right now. You sure didn't miss him. I 886 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: might have missed him. I'm looking back through here again. 887 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: There he is, Okay, sixty four, that's still too low. 888 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 1: That's him Pitts Andrews to me or their own tier. 889 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: I would rather that three. I might rather. I would 890 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: go Hawkinson Pitts. That's how I have it right now. 891 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 1: I was fiddling with it last night. That's how I 892 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: have it right now. But I change it all the time. Yeah, 893 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty set on that unless unless Pitts 894 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: comes out in the preseason he just tears it up. 895 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,360 Speaker 1: But Hockinson it was very productive when he was on 896 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 1: the field last year. But that's gonna do it for 897 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: today's Fantasy Football Focus on Monday. We'll be back on 898 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 1: Monday after the Steelers play their third preseason game. Will 899 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: wrap that up for you.
