1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Matt Williamson on your twenty

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: four to seven home of the Black and Gold Steelers

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Nation Radio.

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Drive. I am Dale Lolli. He is

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: the Matt Williamson and it's a beautiful Friday here at Pittsburgh.

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: And well, yesterday we found out that the Steelers would

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: not pick up the fifty year option on running back

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: Nausea Harrison and Matt. I don't know that I get

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: that decision.

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: I don't either. I mean, we've talked about it a

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: fair amount and kind of brushed it off, thinking it

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: was somewhat of a no brainer at six point six million,

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: trying to look at it from every angle. I mean,

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 3: I don't think he's a tremendous fit if they're going

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: to go heavy outside zone Arthur Smith traditional stuff. But

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: I also think that we're not going to see the

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 3: carbon copy of the Falcons offense either. I think you're

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: gonna blend some things with what was here and what

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: you know he brings. Obviously, I think he's a quality back.

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 3: I think he's worth that money. But I also found

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: it curious that it went right up to the deadline too,

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: you know, and because it took so long, I thought,

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: is there another shoe to drop? You know, you you

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: brought up the idea of Wednesday. Maybe they're going to

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: give him a two year deal or something like that,

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: or you know, maybe they're talking contract or I'm sitting

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: there thinking, look at Dallas's backfield. Are they calling him

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: trying to make a deal? You know? And could you

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 3: do a Brandon Cooks for Nause type swap? Or I

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, I do believe the Steelers are

31
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: looking for receivers. Could he be a trade piece to

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: help you get there? I don't know. I mean, you

33
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: can't get a lot for running backs on the open market, though. Yeah,

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm just looking at this.

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: You know, if you look at it from the twenty

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: twenty one draft, Harris has four and thirty five yards

37
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: from scrimmage. Okay, that's the most of any player from

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: that draft. Yeah, that doesn't draft included Jamar Chase. Yeah,

39
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: that draft included a mon Ross, Saint Brown. That draft

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: included DeVante Smith and Jaylen Wata. And he has more

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: total yards than all those guys.

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 3: Yeah. Man, durability is one of his best in reliability

43
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: or too.

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: Heat, He has scored twenty eight touchdowns in his three seasons.

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: The only person in that draft who has more is

46
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase. He has twenty nine. Really, so don't tell

47
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 2: me this was a wasted draft.

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: Now, No, No, if you keep handing it to him, is

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 3: it he got in value giving him the ball? Right?

50
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: I mean he's been their best option or one B

51
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: every step of the way. I mean, I don't know,

52
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 3: I feel like there's just a lot of wheels.

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: There's something else going on.

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: He yeah.

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: I mean he's got a thousand more rushing yards than

56
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: the next closest player from that draft class that was

57
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: for and Andre Stevenson. It wasn't even It's not even

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: ATMs Andre Stevenson.

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's funny, is a lot of those guys

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 3: have had a down year or an injured year.

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: He hasn't. It's he just takes the ball every time.

62
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

63
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: When we were talking about a yeah, yeah, we're talking

64
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: about it the other day. He and Joe Tryon Schroyanka

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: are the only two players who were taken in the

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: first round of that draft who have played.

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: All every game that they haven't missed on.

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 2: They haven't missed a single game since they became came

69
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: into the.

70
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: NFL and the Bucks didn't pick his option up. But

71
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 3: it's a different number and different situation to different different position,

72
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 3: to a valuable player. Yeah, I thought six point six

73
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: was fine.

74
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe they maybe they looked at it and said,

75
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 2: you know, it's a running back. We don't want to

76
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: guarantee money for a running back.

77
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: And I would get that because I'm not sure every

78
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: even everyone knows. I mean, this system's a little weird

79
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: in that after three years you have to decide on

80
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: his fifthy year.

81
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: Yes, but you're also then guaranteeing his fourth year because

82
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: once you pick up that fifty year option, that contract

83
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: becomes fully guaranteed. So essentially his fourth year contract is

84
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: fully guaranteed, which nause is. Anyways, his entire rookie contract

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: was fully guaranteed.

86
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: Okay, but the.

87
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: First time the Steelers have done that. But maybe they

88
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: looked at this and said, look, we like you. We

89
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: don't want to give you six point eight million next year.

90
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't, maybe you don't want six point eight

91
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: million next year.

92
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe we could do tear this thing up, do

93
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: a two year deal, and that's kind of what well.

94
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: Maybe you want to bet on your Maybe Najie Harris

95
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: wants to bet on himself. Hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna

96
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: have a big year with Arthur Smith here, I'm gonna

97
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: have another I'm gonna have a twelve hundred yard thirteen

98
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: hundred yard year and hit the open market at twenty

99
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: seven years old and still have time to begin. You know,

100
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: this is my this is my chance to get a

101
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: big another my only chance really to get another deal.

102
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: So two notes on that is, I can see the

103
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: logic of because you have been so reliable and so durable,

104
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: you've taken a lot of hits. Yeah, I mean, I

105
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 3: mean that's that's gonna be his game. He's not going

106
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: to duck out of bounds. He's on the slide, you

107
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like we know that he is

108
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: going to take punishment.

109
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: He delivers as much as he and he's out there

110
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: and that's the beauty of the guy.

111
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: But maybe that's working against him, where a little more

112
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: analytically driven front office is saying, do we really think

113
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: he'd stay healthy for twenty twenty four and twenty five,

114
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, and guarantee that money, or

115
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: would we rather just roll the dice and talk about

116
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: it a year from now, you know, I mean, I

117
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 3: can understand both sides.

118
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: I really think if I were in Harris Isshoes as

119
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: a player, I would want that because if he waits,

120
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: you know, two more years from that, I have a

121
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: big year. You know, he's going to be hitting free

122
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: agency at twenty eight, and if, by chance, he was

123
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: awesome that year, then they franchised him and they never

124
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: hit free agency.

125
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: Right, you know what I mean? I mean that you

126
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: could get six cost controlled years out of him if

127
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: you would have picked up the option and franchised him.

128
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: If he was tremendous, I mean, he's hitting his tride,

129
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 3: he's best, one of the better backs in the league.

130
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: That's a possibility. I wonder what the Ravens were doing

131
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: with Bateman, you know, like we didn't talk about all

132
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: the different fifty year options.

133
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: And lot some of them are easy, but that was

134
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: one that didn't get picked up because they extended him.

135
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 3: Because they extended him, and I wanted because Bateman's not

136
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: gonna deserve the same amount as Waddle or DeVante Smith

137
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: or something.

138
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: Under these fifty year options. He does, and he gets that.

139
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: He's in that neighborhood. Yeah, but I bet because of

140
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: his injuries and them drafting him high, they also didn't

141
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: want to just say get out of here. We don't

142
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: like you, right, you're not a bust. We just don't know.

143
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 3: We need receivers. We need you bad this year. I

144
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: wonder if the Steelers would work a deal like the

145
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: Ravens did with Bateman, you know, yeah something Well.

146
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: Bateman's deal was a two year, twelve point eight seven

147
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 2: to one million dollars, which s seems to being a

148
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: bit of an overpaper.

149
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rashad beateens it.

150
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: But receivers are expensive, and if they were, if for

151
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: Shaw Bateman were on the open market, he probably does

152
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: get six.

153
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 3: Millions that neighborhood. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and if he has

154
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: a real good year, he doubles that.

155
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: So if you're if you're looking at this from a

156
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: Steeler standpoint, maybe and you say that you go to

157
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: Naugy and say, hey, we don't mind giving you the

158
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: six point eight. We just don't want it to be

159
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: fully guaranteed because we're going to give ourselves some wiggle room.

160
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: And how about we get the roar and a bonus

161
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: and we'll give you you know, maybe it's.

162
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: A Trump the front three year deal something like that

163
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: for you know, thirteen fourteen million dollars.

164
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: And if they were doing a three year deal, would

165
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: it start this year?

166
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: They well, they call them that, they because because the

167
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: signing bonus goes into this.

168
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, a little bit to be an extension

169
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: on this. Yeah, it's not a new deal.

170
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: Typically what you do then is you lower the this

171
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: year's salary to the base level and you potentially yeah, yeah,

172
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: you know, depending on how big of the yeah, on

173
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: how big of the signing bonus it is. But it

174
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: might make sense for the player. It might make sense

175
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: for the team to do it that way as well.

176
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know if you like. It's your point too,

177
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: of Hey, I just won't get in the open market

178
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: a year from now, that's the thing.

179
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: He's hell, yeah, he just turned twenty six. He has

180
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: a March birthday, so he'll be twenty seven next year

181
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: hitting the open he would be hitting the open market.

182
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: Of twenty seven.

183
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 3: It's the magic number of twenty eight.

184
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: If I'm Naujie Harris, he's pro probably not going to

185
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: get a two or three year.

186
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: No, you're probably in a series of one year deals. Yeah,

187
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I mean.

188
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: That's so they may have talked about this with the

189
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: with the agent and come to this conclusion together, like, hey,

190
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: we don't want he doesn't want to be hitting the

191
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: open market at twenty eight.

192
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: Sure, so we won't pick the supper we turn twenty eight,

193
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: but we'll talk contract here. I'd get it, I mean,

194
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: i'd get it. I mean it'd be a lot different

195
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: to me if the Steelers hauld use a fifth round

196
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: pick on a running back. They'd be like, yeah, ah,

197
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: they're gonna let him go, you know. I mean, they're

198
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: just gonna get younger and not investable.

199
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 2: But you can't tell me that a team that's going

200
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: to run the football is everything. There's telling us is screaming,

201
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: we are going to run.

202
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: The football this year. Yeah, and then you're gonna not.

203
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: I love Warren, but Warren and quarter oll Patterson ain't

204
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 3: getting it done. No. I mean, for a seventeen game season,

205
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,119
Speaker 3: thirty to thirty five carries a game or whatever, including quarterbacks,

206
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: scrambles and rushes. That's asking a lot. That's the thing.

207
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: And I'm as I'm as big of a Jalen Warren

208
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: fan as there is out there. Longtime listeners to this

209
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: show know that. We pointed him out his rookie year

210
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: in training camp and said, this is the guy. He

211
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: keeps getting better and he keeps getting better. But he's

212
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: not Nagie Harris.

213
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: And they're just different.

214
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: They're different. They and if the stylistically they fit together

215
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: well with what they do.

216
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh and.

217
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: People I know people well, you know Jaylen Warren averages

218
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 2: this procured a lot of that's done against nickel defenses.

219
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: And like he's running on third downs if that's okay,

220
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: he's got If he has one hundred carries last year,

221
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: probably thirty five of them came on third and seven

222
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: or longer, he's still good.

223
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: He's definitely in more favorable situations. His value as a receiver,

224
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: to me, it's good. It's great. Is the best part

225
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 3: about him, you know, And whether no matter what the circumstance.

226
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: And he just has a nose for the first down

227
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: and it's.

228
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: A good football player. Yeah, yeah, I don't quite get it,

229
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: but I just feel like there's a lot of wheels

230
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: turning on the south side right now. I smiss contract.

231
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: Where's that money going. I'm sure they're still talking to

232
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: teams about a receiver. Are there a couple of dudes

233
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 3: on the team they would consider trading. I mean, are

234
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: they looking for assets to get more stuff to go

235
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: get a receiver? Could Nausey be part of that mix.

236
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: The big picture is this offense for two years plus

237
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: has been bad. You know, it's like it's not been

238
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: good enough, you know, ownership.

239
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: But he's been one of the only constants.

240
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it feels like in a way they just

241
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: want everybody out from that era, you know what I mean,

242
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: Like more change the better on offense, We'll just roll

243
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 3: the dice. I'm not saying he's gonna be on the

244
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: way out. I'm just trying to get in their heads.

245
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think that there's something more to this

246
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: than simply not picking.

247
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: Up maybe a two year deals announced tomorrow or something.

248
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: Because he has not been a player who has not

249
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: been valuable.

250
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: No, I mean he also never fumbles, he picks up

251
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: the blitz and protects well. He's not a problem child.

252
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: I mean, he's competitive, and he's got kind of beats

253
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: to his own drummer from what I understand, But he's

254
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: one of them. One stepping up in the locker room

255
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 3: and things aren't going well and saying this is unacceptable.

256
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know, I mean agent wear and

257
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: tear would be they're really I get it, but his

258
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: age is a little inflated, and that he didn't come

259
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: in the league as a six year starter at Bama

260
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: like some of these guys this year, you know, I

261
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 3: mean he.

262
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: Was he was not the kid from Kentucky that was

263
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: a thousand yard four straight thousand yard seasons and you were.

264
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: The guy just getting beat up like crazy.

265
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: But those you know, and I get it people so well,

266
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: you can find running backs anywhere you can, I get it.

267
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: Can but do they have the durability? Do they have

268
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: the sustainability? Like you you know, a guy who has

269
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: a thousand yard this thousand yard season this year, can

270
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: he do it again? And then can he do it again?

271
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: Harris has been the only one who's done that three

272
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: You know, there's there's just a couple of guys who

273
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 2: have done that three consecutive years. And that matters too

274
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: that you you know, the team didn't need to fall

275
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: in the back up.

276
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: You know, we can trust you. Much as everybody wants

277
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 3: to talk.

278
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 2: About the the Miami running backs, yea, And I heard

279
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: people saying yesterday, well, you know both of those Dolphins

280
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 2: running backs are better than Nausey Harris. Maybe they're not

281
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: certain certain things, yes, right availability, No, I.

282
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 3: Wouldn't trade nause for most No. I mean a Chan's

283
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 3: his own beast and is a crazy weapon.

284
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: But but you just don't know how many you know,

285
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: carries or games you're going to get out of those guys.

286
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: And they drafted one this year, right.

287
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: That stuff matters. Durability matters.

288
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: One of the reasons December and you're trying to seal

289
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: a lead and all that kind of stuff too.

290
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: One of the reasons they walked away from James Connor

291
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: was because of the durability issues. I bet that number

292
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: one Connor's a Connor is a very good running back.

293
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: He's shown that year in and year out when he plays,

294
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: he's very good.

295
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: Still does he still does.

296
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: But the problem is that he doesn't always play.

297
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: And the thing with him was so frustrating and any

298
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: or fantasy owner remembers, okay, kind of practices or dozen

299
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 3: during the week Saturday and Sunday morning, All right, where'd

300
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: you give it to go with James? Yeah, he plays

301
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: a quarter, never hear from again, and then you don't

302
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: have another active running back that you would have had,

303
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And it's the same way

304
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: for NFL teams. You'll only get was like, well, I

305
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: would have had it been active.

306
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: If I had noticed, I would have had I would

307
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: have had this guy active. My third running back would

308
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 2: have been active.

309
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 3: Now, I'm sure, And now the Warrens of the world

310
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 3: are getting too many touches, you know, because he sit

311
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 3: on the bench, which I mean, I get it. And

312
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: back to the You can find running backs anywhere in

313
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: the world of the NFL. It's a plentiful position, there's

314
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 3: no question. But I don't know. You can find running

315
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 3: backs anywhere in May. You know, like if you were

316
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: to go running back shopping right now, I bet you

317
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: could find We looked at.

318
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: The Cowboys just signed Ezekiel Elliott.

319
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how bad things were for them, you know.

320
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: And free agency this year was weird for running backs.

321
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: The Barkleys and Jacobs and dudes Henry's that are old

322
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: than Harris got scooped up so fast, you know, like

323
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 3: those first two.

324
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: Days they got money.

325
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and say, I don't know if the running back

326
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 3: landscape is changing a little bit. Yeah, Guards, centers and

327
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: running backs were the focus of day one and two

328
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 3: of the free agency period, which is crazy because teams

329
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 3: are playing too high and zone. So we're just going

330
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: to run it at you and pick up six yards

331
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: of character. Yeah. So and he can do that.

332
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: He can certainly do that, and so I, you know, I,

333
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: I just think that there's something else that's that's that's

334
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: going to happen here with that situation. I don't think

335
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: that the people who I.

336
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: Can't imagine more no more substantial moves on this team.

337
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: And I'm not talking about like pucking up Kwan Alexander

338
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: in August. I'm talking about like they're going to add.

339
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: Something's going there's something.

340
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: There's something that they didn't clear the cap space that

341
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: they did to do in routing.

342
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 3: At the same time, my Spidey sense is tingling.

343
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the people out there tweeting this and that,

344
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: I've heard this source told me this and that. Look,

345
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: I don't buy any that's that's all horse crap.

346

Speaker 3: I am Dale Lolli.

364
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson and Matt looking here at

365
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: CBS dot com CBS Sports dot com. They have a

366
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: Tyler Sullivan ranked the AFC teams following the twenty twenty

367
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: four draft, and I got to.

368
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: Take a little bit of exception with this. We'll start

369
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: from the bottom here, Okay. I think the AFC landscape's

370
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: changed a lot, and that there's some really bad teams

371
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: in the AFC now and some of the powerhouses the

372
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: since he's taking a step back, Bills, I don't know

373
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: that they're as strong as it stands today. You know,

374
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: I would agree. I mean I'm talking about from where

375
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: it was the season started or last year at this time.

376
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: You know.

377
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: So at sixteen he has the Denver Broncos.

378
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: I'm actually fine with that. I think there's two or

379
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: three that are in this category, maybe even four.

380
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you got bow Nick, Zach Wilson, Jared Stidham

381
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: or Ben Denucci. You know as your quarterback, it's going

382
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: to be bon Nicks.

383
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: I assume it'll be bow Nicks sooner than later. But

384
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: New England's aren't much better. At least they have Bersett. Yeah,

385
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: you know, and I prefer made to Knicks.

386
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: This was an eight and nine team last year.

387
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: The Broncos were. Yeah, they did go on that little

388
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: stretch there where they were waiting.

389
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: They actually played well and then all of a sudden

390
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: they said, you know what, we got to get Russell

391
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: Wilson out of there. I mean they beat the Chiefs.

392
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: The chief I mean they also lost sixty three to

393
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: nothing in Miami or they did that.

394
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, but they turned things around the little there

395
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 2: were some stretches there that were pretty good.

396
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: At fifteen, he has New England. Although I like their draft.

397
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I it's not like nobody saw it coming.

398
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: But I think their defense is still really really good,

399
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: and you kept a defensive minded head coach. No reason

400
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: to mess with things there, extend bar more, you know,

401
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 3: keep your good dudes. Gonzalez comes back and it'll take time.

402
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 3: But I like the players they added. Polk Baker. I'm

403
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 3: a may fan. Looks like Chukes is gonna be their

404
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 3: starting left tackle or the Penn State kid at the moment,

405
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: you know, but the rest of the line looks in

406
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: okay shape. I mean, at least they're taking steps forward

407
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 3: on offense with young guys. At fourteen are the Raiders.

408
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: So another team that was eight and nine last year,

409
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: Raiders or Tennessee would be in this spot for me.

410
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 3: Look at the Raiders quarterbacks.

411
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gardner Minsch, you're eight and O'Connell. It's gonna be

412
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 2: Gardner Minch assume.

413
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's pretty rough. Although he won get with

414
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: the Colts. I mean, he's not the answer, but he's

415
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: not terrible. He'll know enough to get the ball to

416
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 3: Devonte Adams. I think that's a weapons out. Yeah, Adams Myers,

417
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 3: two tight ends. I mean even Zamer White seemed fine. Yeah,

418
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 3: at least they invested in their O line a little.

419
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: Now they're better than they're better than the bottom two.

420
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Pittman got the ball a ton last year

421
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: because he was in Indy from Minshew.

422
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could be Adams.

423
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: That could be Adams just getting peppered.

424
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: With balls this year. I think you're right about that.

425
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: At thirteen are the Colts?

426
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 3: Oh wow? I think Tennessee is clearly worse than the Colts.

427
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: I think so too, But I'm kind of like, I

428
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: just don't see a lot. High's a big word. They'd

429
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: be a middle of the pack power rank thirty two teams.

430
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: I bet the Colts to be sixteen. There's some.

431
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 2: And we're going to do this in one of the

432
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: next segments. You're look at the quarterbacks. Yeah, in the league,

433
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: but I think there's some revisionist history with what exactly

434
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: Richardson did last year in his brief amount of time

435
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: at quarterbacking. I mean he flashed Anthony Richardson in four

436
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 2: starts last year, completed fifty nine point five percent of

437
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 2: his passes. He averaged one hundred and forty four passing

438
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: yards per game. Were there, he had three touchdowns and

439
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 2: one interception, so he only threw one interception.

440
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: Many of those that he left like in the first quarter,

441
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 3: so it skewed it like crazy.

442
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 2: He can't remember and he got hurt.

443
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: He got hurt. I thought he got hurt late. I

444
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 3: could remember, like was there one game he only had twenty.

445
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: But so he was fifty of eighty four for five

446
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven yards, three touchdowns, one interception. He

447
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: averaged six point nine yards per attempt.

448
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 3: Again, it was another note on him though, is and

449
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: I'm a fan and I'm excited about him, and I'm

450
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 3: going to overdraft it. He didn't run though, as much

451
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: as you'd think, as you think, you know, that was

452
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: the other thing I was going to say. But back

453
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: to the Minshew conversation here, he prefer he completed what

454
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 3: fifty nine percent of his passes. Yeah, and they were

455
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: still the same Minshew balls to Pittman that were at

456
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 3: the last scrimmage too, Like there's not a high degree

457
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 3: of difficulty it throws, which is why they got Ady

458
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: Mitchell in there to kind of get the ball down

459
00:19:59,359 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: the field.

460
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he only he only ran for one hundred

461
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: and thirty six.

462
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: Yards in his four strings, So he's exciting.

463
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: We might be putting the cart before the horse a

464
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: little bit with with Anthony.

465
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 3: Richards and the reality of it all, is you really

466
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: need different than may or Nick? Not really.

467
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: He's throwing eighty NFL passes and he had.

468
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 3: Very few in college. Those guys threw a lot more

469
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 3: college passes than him.

470
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 2: At twelve, are the Titans?

471
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 3: Okay? Out of the Colt side of the Titans, I

472
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: still think the Titans are pretty bad. Yeah, lines improved,

473
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: They do have weapons now, I mean you had like

474
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: Snead and Ridley. I mean those are quality dudes. I'm

475
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 3: just not a levist believer.

476
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think that's going to be their downfall.

477
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 3: I think so too. I think they'll be quarterback shopping

478
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 3: after the year.

479
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 2: At eleven, he has the Steelers and this is despite

480
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: listen to this right what he says here about them.

481
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh enjoyed a strong offseason, which was capped off with

482
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: a stellar showing at the draft. They addressed several key needs,

483
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: including offensive line. Well, first of all, can't be they

484
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: and you're talking Pittsburgh gets.

485
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 3: There. The big question with this.

486
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: Team surrounds who will end up starting for them. The

487
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: Steelers signed Russell Wilson to a one year deal and

488
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 2: traded for former Bears quarterback Justin Fields.

489
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 3: It's going to be Russell Wilson.

490
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: Ah, that position ultimately shakes out, will determine how the

491
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: season turns out. So you're talking about a team that

492
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: won ten games last year. Yeah, you said they've had

493
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: a strong offseason including the draft, and they're eleventh.

494
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: I don't agree with that. I also, I am sitting

495
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: here thinking how many starting spots are we not sure

496
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: who's going to be starters? You know what I mean? Yeah,

497
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty I think Brodericks should be the

498
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: left tackle, soatan who's probably gonna be the right?

499
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 2: Yea, here's okay, So let's let's let's delve into.

500
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 3: That saying tackles one way or another.

501
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: To me, I feel like you start camp with Fatano

502
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: and Dan Moore on the left side and leave Broderick

503
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: Jones on the right side.

504
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: It's easier then because then you could call it a competition,

505
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 3: right and it would be.

506
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: But you know, and just know, so Dan Moore Junior

507
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 2: has done nothing wrong right right, Like he is your

508
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: incumbent starter at left tackle.

509
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: Like if I was Dallas, I'd be calling about Dan

510
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: Moore Jr.

511
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: So it also behooves the Steelers. You know, it's brush

512
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 2: him aside. You let the kid come in and compete

513
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: against dan Moore.

514
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: It's on the left side.

515
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: Dan Moore has been the good soldier throughout this whole thing.

516
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 3: We should probably lose a battle, and that's.

517
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: Fine, but he at least you at least called about it,

518
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: and you at least allow the at least allow Fatanu

519
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 2: to win it, as opposed to just handing it to him.

520
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: Because if if you hand it to him or you

521
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 2: move you move him to Broderick Jones the left tackle,

522
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: and you move Fatanu to right, and one of the

523
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: two can't play those sides. Now you're putting dan Moore

524
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: back in after you've brushed him aside.

525
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 3: And I know, and it is a little sticky, the

526
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 3: whole right left more only playing one side thing. I

527
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 3: just think that their best five is probably Jones the

528
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: left and right. When it's all said and done, that

529
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: could very well be the case, and you blow up.

530
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 3: You have time for that to happen.

531
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: You allow that to happen organically. I don't think you force.

532
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 3: It so in his right up, I forget exactly how

533
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: he phrased it, Well, there's a lot that needs shaped

534
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: out of who the starters are. I would say that's

535
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 3: true with number two receiver, but I'm not even okay

536
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: slot corner. But I mean that's like your twenty second guy,

537
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like I think we know

538
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: who's going to be on the field, right, I mean,

539
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just don't agree with that.

540
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: So I don't know how I can say that they've

541
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: had a strong offseason. They were clearly they were number

542
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 2: what seven last year, going yeah, yeah, and.

543
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 3: Now they're down to eleven and we know who's ahead

544
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: of them. But I mean there's some good teams, there's

545
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 3: some arguments to be made.

546
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 2: Well, number ten is the charge.

547
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: I just say, there's a couple that are are you aaty?

548
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 2: Is he out of his mind?

549
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 3: Chargers to try in every list? I don't get like

550
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: under win totals too high?

551
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: Is Jim Harbar going to come in like Jesus and

552
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: lay hands on people and they're suddenly going to stay

553
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 2: healthy and everything's going to be perfect for the Chargers?

554
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: So like in this because that hasn't happened in years

555
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 2: for the Chargers.

556
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: If goal number one is Harbor to get that team

557
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: to the playoffs. This year they were drafted Neighbors. Yeah,

558
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. If if goal number one

559
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 3: is is coach Arbaugh, this is your team, and you

560
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: have a long leash, We're paying you a lot of money,

561
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 3: build a Harbor team, then you draft all you know

562
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like, yeah, I don't know that. Of

563
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: course he's gonna try to win every game. Of course,

564
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 3: I mean that that goes out saying for all these teams.

565
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: But the goal is here is build us a championship

566
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: that can beat the Chiefs. Not do whatever you can

567
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 3: to mortgage the future to get the eight wins and

568
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: be better than the Steelers and the power ranks, you

569
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

570
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be a long year for them. They're

571
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: like a six or seven win teams. That's like, yeah,

572
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: at nine is Jacksonville.

573
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: I see the argument, but I'd take the Steelers.

574
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: I don't trust the Jaguars at all.

575
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 3: I don't trust the organization. Yeah, Al must feel for

576
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: Lawrence is like he's always going to be swimming against

577
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: the carr and you know.

578
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, h at eight is Miami.

579
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that. I'm not a fan of how

580
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 3: Miami's built. They signed Odell today, Yeah, I mean they're

581
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 3: just getting more and more. They gave Odell over eight

582
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: million dollars. Is that what it was? You see the deal?

583
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 3: I don't quite understand that. And they drafted two receivers late.

584
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 3: You know, guys, we liked Washington and Washington. You're cutting

585
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: good players. Yeah, I don't love there to spend eight

586
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 3: million dollars on Odell Beckham. And by the way, who

587
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 3: is going to be fifty million? He led the league

588
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 3: in passing last year. Like, I know that sounds crazy, Like, oh,

589
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: we'll get him, Like the Daniel Jones contract. He's the

590
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: NFL passing leader last year. He's going to get forty

591
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 3: five plus soon. I mean, they better win it this year,

592
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 3: is all I'm saying. Yeah, I don't see it. Not

593
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: only either at seven is Cleveland Cleveland verus Steelers. We've

594
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 3: debated for forever, and I think they're in the same tier.

595
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: And here's the thing to understand, either side. One team

596
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 3: has done.

597
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: A lot to get better this offseason, right right, What

598
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: has Cleveland done? It's made them a better team this offseason.

599
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: And know that they're basically equal teams. A year ago. Yeah,

600
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: Cleveland has gotten worse. Yeah, I would say so. I mean,

601
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: if you don't get better, you get worse. For one thing. No,

602
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: that doesn't.

603
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: I mean, certainly some of their guys can have that

604
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: they've drafted but have continue to get better. Dave in

605
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: our first round picked the last three year?

606
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: Is that much sure? Who that is? Though? Right? You know,

607
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 3: I mean that's the problem, right, all right, It's not

608
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: like they got well Roger Jones, they take a big

609
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: step forward. They don't have that guy, you know, Yeah,

610
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: the young pupp that's really promising. Oh, Porter could be

611
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 3: better in a second year, Benton could be better in

612
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 3: a second year. They don't have those dudes.

613
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 2: I mean really, the big move that they made this

614
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: offseason was go get Jerry Judy. That's your big move,

615
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: that's your that's your game changer.

616
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 3: And I really think he's a three, not even a two. Yeah,

617
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 3: Like that doesn't move the needle much for me. At

618
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 3: six is Houston, which might be low on esay, I

619
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: might have them ahead of like Buffalo. Yeah, yeah, I

620
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 3: think Houston's good and deep and well coached, and I

621
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 3: believe in their quarterback.

622
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 2: At five is Cincinnati.

623
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't know that the league you can

624
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 3: just have a throwaway yere, you know, like they'll just

625
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 3: go back to who they were two years ago. Well,

626
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: the defense was bad last year, bad like I bet

627
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 3: it was last year. But I don't know. It's just

628
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: we took Burrow out, put Burrow back in. Everything stays

629
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: the same. It's just not how the league works.

630
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: And the one thing that you know, when you have

631
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: a couple of high profile players like t Higgins and

632
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson who are unhappy, yeah, that tends to festerct

633
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: and what happens the first time one of those guys

634
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: has a hangnail and they say, you know what, I'm

635
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 2: not playing this week.

636
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 3: I'm out right, That's what's going to happen because you're looking.

637
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not going to go out there and

638
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: play hurt anymore because you won't.

639
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 3: You're not investing it. You're not investing in me.

640
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm I'm playing for next year's contract and I don't

641
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 2: want to put that on film.

642
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: All that being said, they bowls here. Yeah, I think

643
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: Burrow is that good.

644
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 2: See, I don't know if they can't, could they win

645
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl?

646
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: Sure? Could they win the.

647
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 2: Superst could they win the Super Bowl with the defense

648
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: playing like it did last year? No, no, no, no,

649
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: not even no.

650
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 3: I don't think you can win a playoff game like that.

651
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 3: You get in, but you can't win a playoff game

652
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 3: like that. Yeah.

653
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: That's that's my problem with Cincinnati right now, is that

654
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: that defense was I don't think people understand how I mean,

655
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: I get five yards of carry last year against them?

656
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Steels abused them. Yeah right, I mean I

657
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 3: was shocked whenever I did, like my stat packs for

658
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: those two games, Like I thought all the problem was borrow.

659
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 3: I thought the defense be fine, or they'd be on

660
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: the I'll excuse it of they're on the field all

661
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: the time. Not really, No, they were just bad. Yeah,

662
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: they were really bad, especially as a run at four.

663
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: And this might be put in the cart before the

664
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: horse a little bit. The Jets, Yeah, I say the

665
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 3: Jets are probably right there with the Bengals. I don't

666
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: have Houston, I don't.

667
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have Houston ahead of both of those

668
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: teams right now, and I don't. I don't know that

669
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: I can trust the Jets.

670
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: I definitely trust the Jets. They're the least trustworthy team

671
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: on there. To me and all the all the pickups

672
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: are old guys. Yeah, like like.

673
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: What are the chances all those old guys stay healthy?

674
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, probably not. So you know, we'll do the

675
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: drive during the season. What power ranks we always do

676
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: on Tuesdays? Right, Yeah, I think it wouldn't shock me

677
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: one bit if it's Week five and the Jets are

678
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: second in the league in power ranks. Everything's buzzing. Call

679
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: me in November starts. Yeah, it might work out, but

680
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: call me in a bit. Yeah. Uh.

681
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: At three is Buffalo, Yeah.

682
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: But they're not their windows shutting now it's a new one.

683
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: I mean that's a bet on Josh Allen, and that's

684
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: a wonderful bet. I get that. Two is Baltimore, okay,

685
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: and one is obviously Kansas City. Kansas City might be

686
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: even better. They might be a better Ta she Rice.

687
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: Thing doesn't look good. I don't know.

688
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: I don't see where the other contenders their.

689
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 3: Team worse, Buffalos worse.

690
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: Let's put it of the play off the teams that

691
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: made the seven teams that made the playoffs last year

692
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: in the AFC, Kansas City may have gotten better maybe.

693
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they lost need I mean that's a legit. Yeah,

694
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 3: but yeah, they're in the same neighborhood. At least Houston

695
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 3: got better. Houston got better, since he gets better if

696
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: you say just but they did they weren't a playoff team,

697
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: right right, and just the playoff teams. Cleveland didn't get better, No,

698
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: they stayed the same if at best.

699
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: Miami certainly didn't get better.

700
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so either. And the Steelers got better.

701
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah was that seven? That's seven? Seven? Okay, that's your seven.

702
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: Those are the those were the seven playoff teams last

703
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: year in the AFC.

704
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, of course the Jets and Bengals get

705
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 3: better because.

706
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: What they have come back, which I guilty, Yeah.

707
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 3: Of course, but I hear you. AFC is good.

708
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: I mean it's deep and it's good, and it's deep.

709
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: I just don't know.

710
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Steelers should be eleven.

711
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: I don't either. And that death chart, if you said

712
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: they're eight, okay, I would get that.

713
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, even nine.

714
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 3: The chargers behind the chargers chargers are.

715
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: There is a reason they call it chargering.

716
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 3: They're gonna pick the ten next year, right, I believe

717
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: that wholeheartedly.

718

Speaker 2: listening to the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio and Matt.

732
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: But now that the draft is completed, here we have

733
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: a better idea of what some of the quarterback competitions yeah,

734
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: around the league are going to look like. Obviously they'll

735
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: be one sort of here in Pittsburgh. Yeah, but you know,

736
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: I think I.

737
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 3: Mean pole position, I think is a good way to

738
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: describe it.

739
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Russell Wilson will start as the one. Justin Fields

740
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: will be the two, and I expect that to hold up.

741
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless something drastic happens where the top guy flounders

742
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: and Fields looks unbelievable.

743
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but looking at some of these other situations, we

744
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: just talked about.

745
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 3: Something more or less than usual in the AFC.

746
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: But so Denver, you got bon Knicks versus Jared Stidham

747
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: versus Zach Wilson.

748
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: I mean, they have every reason to want to start

749
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 3: nixt Yeah, and I think that's one of the beauties

750
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 3: of why you take Nicks. Because he started more games

751
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 3: than any quarterback in college history. You hand picked him.

752
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: His competition is less than the in Minnesota or New

753
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: England or you know, some of these other teams. I

754
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 3: think he's the opening day start.

755
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, think so too, even though they gave Stick the

756
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: money they did for whatever reason, it.

757
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: Was two years ago. But yeah, they like him. They

758
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: traded for Wilson too, which is weird.

759
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: Zach, Yeah, I think it's just taking bite of the apple.

760
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: Nothing for him.

761
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: With the Raiders, it's aiden O'Connell versus Gardner Minshew.

762
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: I don't even think that one's would be close. I

763
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: don't think it is either. I think O'Connell's good.

764
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 2: I think it has to be Minshew. Yeah, it has

765
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: And I don't even love Minshew.

766
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 3: No, he's fine, but he'll be one of the worst

767
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 3: starters on opening day, I think minshe. Yeah, I don't

768
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 3: think O'Connell will ever threaten him. For the vikings.

769
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 2: You're looking at JJ McCarthy versus Sam Donald.

770
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: I get the impression they are excited about Donald. I

771
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 3: mean they were. They aggressively pursued him. Obviously they didn't

772
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 3: want to just go in with Donald. But I think

773
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 3: Donald starts until further notice for a while. I mean

774
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: McCarthy is young. Yeah, I think you could use the time.

775
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 3: I think Donald's going to be the opening day guy

776
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 3: and might be okay. I mean not say he's great,

777
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 3: but he might be a Yeah.

778
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: You know, we've seen other quarterbacks go somewhere else and

779
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: kind of rebuild. He's got good receivers there, they got tackles,

780
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: they've got Yeah, they've got a line to protect him.

781
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: They don't necessarily have a great running game, but that's fine. Yeah,

782
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: you got great receivers.

783
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: And Aaron Jones and Hawkinson and the peripheral guys are

784
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 3: all good Addison. I trust that coach and scheme, and

785
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: I think a year sitting in San Francisco probably did

786
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 3: him some good too.

787
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: At some point, though McCarthy probably starts a stretch of games.

788
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Donald would have to be really good

789
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 3: to not get benched when they're like facing elimination of the.

790
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: Year, you know what I mean, when they're when they're

791
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: you know, four and eight.

792
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 3: When they're four and eight. Yeah, but I mean I

793
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 3: think we'll see both. But I think Donald holds a

794
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 3: job for a while. Yeah, I think she compared to

795
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: like the Denver situation, right for some of these other ones.

796
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: The page, it's Drake May versus Jacoby Brissette.

797
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: I think this is sort of similar, except they're gonna

798
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 3: lose more games in the situation. But I think for

799
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 3: set's a better player than Donald today. Yeah, I mean,

800
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 3: Donald still is better stealing, but I think Brissette will

801
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 3: start and May is another one that could use some

802
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: time to May and McCarthy would be best suited sitting

803
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 3: more than most of these guys.

804
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see May starting from the get go,

805
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: because I don't know that that would be good for

806
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: his long term right, Like.

807
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm a big May believer, but I think

808
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 3: half the year sitting would go along.

809
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: With I mean, they don't A, they don't have good weapons, no. B.

810
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 2: They don't necessarily have a great line.

811
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: No. And he's not as experienced as the others. And

812
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 3: he's gonna take a beating. And I think and Brissette's good.

813
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 3: That's gonna keep you competitive for what you have.

814
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: With the Giants. Daniel Jones versus Drew Locke. It's not

815
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: really a competition because I.

816
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 3: Don't think so either. But they apparently like lack of time.

817
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 3: They can't they can promote and pumping law up like crazy,

818
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 3: going to be ready at the start of the season,

819
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, but they went on and

820
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 3: got locked quickly. It gave him not terrible money. I

821
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: think Jones will be the guy though. Yeah, I mean,

822
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: all things equal, I mean, and injuries aren't a factor.

823
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 3: He's got to give him.

824
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 2: There's three years left on one hundred and sixty million

825
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 2: dollar extension.

826
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: I know, brutal, and actually that's a fifth year option lesson.

827
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying that this is such hindsight,

828
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 3: but they decided not to pick up his fifth year option.

829
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 3: Then he has a good year by Daniel Jones standpoint,

830
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: and then they overspend like they they made an error

831
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: on top of an error, you know what I mean? Yeah,

832
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 3: Like that's they didn't fix things, they made it worse,

833
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: kind of panicked, kind of panicked, right, And they also

834
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 3: kept Barkley that year thinking they were better than they were.

835
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: In Washington. It's jade and Daniels or Marcus Mariota.

836
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 3: It's got to be Jaden Daniels. Mariota is so bad,

837
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 3: he's awful. He's so bad. And there was a time

838
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 3: liked him, Like when the Steelers were in the Trubisky market.

839
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: I was, I was like Winston, Mariota and Trubisky, I

840
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 3: like all those guys actually still like whins and but

841
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 3: maybe I just can't quit that dude. But Mariota has

842
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 3: been horrendous since then, like the least accurate correck legue.

843
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 2: But at least with with with Mariota and Trubisky have played.

844
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: Winston hasn't played that thing. He hasn't enough to show

845
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: that he can't play anymore. But that in itself shows

846
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 2: us that maybe.

847
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah right, I mean it's not like car

848
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 3: or something. It's not like who's Winston with this yere

849
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 3: he might be their best guy. He might be he

850
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: might be their best guy.

851
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they won't probably have the guts to do

852
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 2: it right.

853
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: Right that that's just is that it on competition.

854
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: That's it for the open competitions.

855
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 3: I mean, Kayla Williams is going to start. Yeah, I

856
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 3: think Jayden and Daniel was going to start.

857
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: Jaye Daniel is going to start. That's not even going

858
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 2: to be a competition.

859
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 3: He's gonna take the first snap in mini camp. And Yeah,

860
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: A surprised he didn't list the Steelers. I'm glad they didn't.

861
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: Well, he's on there, but I skipped over because we

862
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: already we talked enough about it.

863
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: But I just you know, I'm just scanning the league,

864
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 3: go ahead. Is there any we're missing? They're missing? I

865
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 3: don't think, I mean, Atlanta's going to be cousins? You think? So?

866
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 2: Could Seattle be a competition? Who's the backham that Sam Howe?

867
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 3: It wouldn't shock me if he plays this year. Yeah, yeah,

868
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 3: put it that way. I don't think he'll be a competition.

869
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 3: I don't think Gino will fall in his face. But

870
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 3: I bet we see Sam Howe.

871
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if they're if they're struggling a little.

872
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 3: Bit, Yeah, this could be a take a step back year,

873
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: realize Gino is not the long term answer. Let's see

874
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: what al can do the last six months of the

875
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 3: six weeks of the game this season. And we know

876
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: a ton of these guys will get hurt too. But yeah,

877
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: that's a good one. I don't know the car is

878
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: going to be super in favor in New Orleans anymore.

879
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 3: He turns down a lot of throws just to dump

880
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: it off. The completion percentage up any chance panic starts

881
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 3: week one. If Cousins isn't healthy, talk about.

882
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 2: It, maybe, but that's not a true competition.

883
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 3: Not a competition. That's not I guess that's not fair.

884
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 3: But you talk about a bee's nest. Yeah, if that

885
00:38:58,840 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 3: guy's out there like.

886
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 2: And then what happens if he goes out and plays well.

887
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: That's part of my big problem with the pickup is

888
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: because he might be good. Like Michael Barty was talking

889
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 3: about this and he compared it to Mahomes and he's like,

890
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 3: I'm not saying Pennix is Mahomes, but everyone in the

891
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 3: world knew Alex Smith was the starter. He was making

892
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 3: nice money. This was a playoff team. But then by

893
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 3: like week three, everyone in the building that has eyeballs

894
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 3: knows Mahomes is a better player and he's just tearing

895
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 3: your skoll team apart. And Pennix will do that. Yeah,

896
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 3: and every beat writer sees it two and you end

897
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 3: up with problems, you know, and unlike you know, Rogers

898
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: or far before him, Cousins is new to the building.

899
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: He has no pelts on the wall and it yeah, yeah,

900
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: the only pelt The only pelts he have are dollars.

901
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 3: Dollar sign right, And the owner's like, why did I

902
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 3: give him a hundred million? You know, I just think

903
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 3: you're opening a can of worms. It doesn't need to

904
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: be open.

905
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that whole thing is very curious. I mean,

906
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: that's how gms get fired.

907
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like even when they drafted him, I thought, are

908
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 3: they gonna draft them and then trade them to the Raiders?

909
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 3: And a week or something like is Max Crosby going

910
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 3: to Atlanta? Like now, I understand, but that's not really

911
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: how the NFL works. Yeah, so but interesting.

912
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 2: I mean that that's just kind of the situation the

913
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 2: league is in right now. Those are the quote unquote

914
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: quarterback controversies or have a competition.

915
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you just should if how long is Watson's.

916
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: Leash again, he's got the pelsy he has on the

917
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: wall or dollar signs that they are tied to.

918
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 3: I mean that comes on ownership. You can't bench him

919
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 3: just because he's the third best quarterback on your team,

920
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 3: or second best quarterback on your team.

921
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 2: Or fourth best quarterback on your time, or fifth best

922
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 2: quarterback on your team.

923
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 3: I don't think it's fit to go get Winston. These

924
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 3: guys if you're confident in them, right, there could be

925
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: there could be a conversation after when you're one in

926
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 3: three and running the ball well in your defense is

927
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 3: great and one thing isn't doing its job. Yeah, I'm

928
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: just saying, yeah.

929
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's get to another break that's going to do

930
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,640
