10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: little bit.

Speaker 3: Oh are they?

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Did you go to that one or just the PNC

Speaker 2: Park one.

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: I went to the PNC Park one. I saw them

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: at Three Rivers with Metallica when they were it was

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: like ninety one. Oh.

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: I was like, and they were at their height and Metallic.

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: It was like they probably only had two or three

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: albums out at that point. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's like

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: the Black Album Tour for Metallic. Yes, and they.

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: Kind of then they really took off.

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: They were kind of equal at that point. It poured

27
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: down rain and we had a blast.

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, is that towards the top of

Speaker 2: just announced the tour. They're doing the Harshey Park. That's

31
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: become very popular with a lot of bands and artists now,

32
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: like instead of doing Pittsburgh and Philly or one or

33
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: the other, just do Harshey and Yeah, so the fans

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: will drive you know two.

35
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: Three stadium ish.

00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got a big field. It's probably thirty forty

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: thousand p and parkish side. It's not it's not Acrostre Stadium, right,

38
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: it's not an arena show.

39
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, or big Philly stadium.

40
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw Dead and Company there a few summers ago.

41
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: Enjoyed myself. Ran into Chad Tyson in the bathroom of

42
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: all places.

43
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: Of course.

44
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: The afternoon host on W Davis Matt, let's get into uh,

45
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: let's get into some waiver wire conversation here as we

46
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: are starting to get towards the end of the line

47
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: of fantasy football season.

48
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: What bye weeks this week too? Four bye weeks?

49
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, bye weeks this week. Injuries that are always piling

50
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: up this time of year, and everyone just kind of

51
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: trying to shore up that roster as you were hopefully

52
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: getting ready to head into the playoffs before too much longer.

53
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: Unless you need him for bye weeks or injuries. I

54
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: would urge people, don't keep that second tight end that

55
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: you're never gonna play. Don't keep that second quarterback you're

56
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 3: never gonna play.

57
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: Take a risk on somebody else.

58
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: Take some running back that's you know, one Brian Robinson,

59
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: who's one Christian McCaffrey injury. Yeah, you know that type

60
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: of dude.

61
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: You know absolutely, So let's talk about some waiver wire

62
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: options and pickups here, Matt, I want to get your thoughts.

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 3: This is a funny one other note, Yeah, Dale was

64
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 3: real big on this, and Dale love fantasy, he really did.

65
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: And uh but this time of year he could be

66
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: a real jag off and really play defense. Like he

67
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: would look around the league heavily and be like that

68
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: guy needs a running back. I'm definitely I'm gonna yeah,

69
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: I'm never gonna use them, but I'm gonna play defense.

70
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: He does a lot of I'm picking up Kyle Monning

71
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: guy this week, right, Yeah, yeah, exactly, just so he

72
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: can't get them.

73
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: That's smart. Yeah, it's good thinking. Bye by Dale Wallie.

74
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: I tell you he was. He was into I like fantasy,

75
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: he loved fas fantasy.

76
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was real competiti about it.

77
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah right yeah.

78
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

79
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks waiver wire available, Matt C. J. Stroud Uh, still

80
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: available in about sixty percent of the league. Going on

81
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: the road though against the Chiefs.

82
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: That's a huge game, by the way. We'll talk about

83
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: that later.

84
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: Maybe the game of the week in terms along with

85
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: Steelers Ravens in terms of playoffs, conscient and all that. Yeah,

86
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: you know what, maybe we'll talk about that here in

87
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: just a second, because I've got the numbers in front

88
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: of me. Stroud still available in about sixty percent of leagues. Fine,

89
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence in about fifty percent of leagues.

90
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: Okay, they're about equal, and they're on good teams. They're

91
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: gonna throw Stroud doesn't run the time. Again, if you're

92
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: if you have a solid starter, I wouldn't run to

93
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: pick him up just to have him as your backup. Dude.

94
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: But like this week, in both my major leagues, Drake

95
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: May is my starter and they're coming up on a by.

96
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: You know, so I would figure something.

97
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: I would have loved Stroud to been out there for

98
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 3: that and then he wasn't.

99
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: For sure league sure, right, Okay, So for for deeper

100
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: leagues in that regard, here's some of the Like these

101
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: guys are all owned in twenty percent of leagues or less.

102
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: So if you're in a bind, someone's on a buy,

103
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: you really need someone. Stroud's not available, Lawrence or Doarnold's

104
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: not available. Yeah, Marcus Mariota at Minnesota, Tyrod Taylor versus

105
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: Miami Tua versus the Jets.

106
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: I put in for Mariota in that one league that

107
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: was pretty darn thin just for a one week rental.

108
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: Though he played okay, there was a part in his career.

109
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: It's more, you know, NFL than fantasy. Where I thought

110
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: at the end of his his Falcon tenure when he

111
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: was getting benched, I'm like, this might be he looks horrible,

112
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: but he's been much better in Washington and he runs,

113
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 3: So I'll take a shot on him for a week

114
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 3: as a rental.

115
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: I think you can have work worse options, certainly, like

116
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: Bryce Young might be an option, but they're on their

117
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: bye week as well.

118
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: So right he Carolina, San Fran, New England, and a

119
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: bad team. Because all four of those teams are really

120
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: gonna benefit from a late by playoff.

121
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: From Is it time to try and pick up Devin

122
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: Singletary if you can with Tyrone Tracy exiting with an

123
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: injury this time of.

124
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: Year, even if you only plan if you got a

125
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: spot in your starting lineup, and you can he's better

126
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: than what you're gonna play with, then yes, yes, I

127
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: mean he's not gonna be a long term answer. A

128
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: very look at things very weak the week from this

129
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: point on, especially at running back, and that's I don't

130
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: think he's good, but that doesn't matter, you know.

131
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: If he's gonna get touches and he's gonna get a

132
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: right share, I mean, you know, right, how about Bam

133
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: Knight of the Cardinals. He's rostered in just twenty five percent.

134
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: Trey Benson. Still some weird stuff going on there.

135
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: There's no Benson news, I mean, I know his The

136
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: only news is his window has been opened. But it's

137
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: been like two weeks o from now, so I'm assuming

138
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: he's going to be back in the mix sooner than

139
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: later and really put the Bam Knights of the World on,

140
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 3: you know, to the side.

141
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I I would expect that to be the case.

142
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: But again I've been I've been stashing Benson on IR.

143
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: One of my sitting on my roster for Yeah yeah.

144
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: Him and o'mari and Hampton, and both of those guys

145
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: have been like I thought they would be back by then.

146
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: Campton should be back this week. I think Carboss said

147
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 3: he ruled him out pretty quick last week.

148
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, indeed, Devin Neil fifty roster week ago.

149
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I wish. I'm not sure if we even brought.

150
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: Him up, but I don't think we did.

151
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: Kamara has been out. I can't see any reason why

152
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: they rush him back, and maybe they just leave him

153
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: out for the rest of the year at his age,

154
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: et cetera. But he did. But Neil got a lot.

155
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: I don't even care what kind of fantasy numbers he

156
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: put up, but his role was really good. He was

157
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: out there for like seventy five percent of the past

158
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 3: attempts and over fifty percent of the care.

159
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: He can find he could find the end zone.

160
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm actually going to start him in my

161
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: league that I'm getting hit hard with buys this week.

162
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: I'm winning the league on the back of some dudes.

163
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: I'm sitting this week because our bye and I'm just

164
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: gonna plug him in and hope he gets me ten points,

165
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: you know, but if he's on the field a lot,

166
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: he probably will.

167
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: If because I've got I've got Trevion Henderson on the

168
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: by this upcoming.

169
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: He's the one I have to fill, right, So if.

170
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: If Hampton or Benson aren't back, I'm gonna end up

171
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: starting Devin Neil as well.

172
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: Yeah I did that actually before he came to the

173
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: tire and just put my starting lineup in. I'm like, well,

174
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: the best I got. But you know, he plays. He

175
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: shouldn't have been a seventh round pick in real life either.

176
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: It's just a really deep running back draft. He should

177
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: go round four or five in my opinion.

178
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: He was a lot of fun to watch in college.

179
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they had a pretty good worklad.

180
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: Another one of them stout big twelve running backs, you know,

181
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: along with the R. J. Harvey's and the Olie Gordon's

182
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: wide receivers. Here, Matt, let's see Adam and I Mitchell

183
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: of the Jets just two rostered against Miami this weekend.

184
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: So this is an NFL note all of a sudden,

185
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: you know, with the Jets have some interesting nest pieces

186
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: on offense. It in trade Breeze Hall. They've been drafted

187
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: o line, especially tackles. They got Jason Taylor's kid at

188
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: tight end who's a rookie, and Metchie and Mitchell, who

189
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 3: they've added, like in the last month. Mitchell came over

190
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: in the the Colt Sauce trade. And you also obviously

191
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: still have Wilson, who's gonna be your number one. They

192
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: may have found two receivers in Mechi in Mitchell, Yeah,

193
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: because both those dudes are talented. They just had weird

194
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: careers to this point. So they're throwing Mitchell of ball

195
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: a ton. They it's not that bad, right, it's not,

196
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: you know, like especially a tyrod play instead of fields.

197
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: It helps out with some of their with what they've

198
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: got on their offensive line, which I think is is

199
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 2: a lot to be optimistic about. And hopefully they'll get

200
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: Vidave back fully healthy next year after that.

201
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: On talker, Yeah, yeah, if you're a talker. Sorry, Yeah,

202
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: another vword.

203
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: Another hyphenated vword name. They've got some pieces on that offense.

204
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: A million draft picks.

205
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: I got a million draft picks if they could keep

206
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: Breese Hall around, you know, like they've got Mason Taylor

207
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: is a nice tight end.

208
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: They could all grow up together on offense, you know, right.

209
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: If they can find a quarterback. Obviously that's always, but

210
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: they they might be like a good offseason away from

211
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: not being a pushover.

212
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of a sudden, look like, oh okay, yeah,

213
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: I see what they're doing here.

214
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: What about Jayden Higgins from the Texans at Kansas City.

215
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: He's thirty five percent rostered at this.

216
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: Also coming on strong and they're playing well, so you

217
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: could do a lot worse. I mean, he might be

218
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: a top thirty six guy this week. Yeah.

219
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: Chritian Wattson available in fifty three percent of rule.

220
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: He's really starting to Yeah, I would. I'd be shocked

221
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 3: if he's available in many of our listeners leagues right now.

222
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: Chris Godwin fifty five percent available.

223
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 3: Done much, but I grabbed him two weeks ago because

224
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: somebody caught him and kind of marinate and hoping that

225
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: on the stretch looking like himself. He hasn't quite gotten

226
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: to that point yet.

227
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: No, No, I think that's about it. I mean tight ends.

228
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: Coulson Loveland's still available in a little over fiet.

229
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 3: I think star I mean league, I'm talking about it.

230
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: I have Kittle and he's off this week, so I

231
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 3: put in for Loveland and there was two or three

232
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: tight ends. If I don't get him, I don't get him.

233
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: I don't care. But I mean it's I think he's

234
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: going to be a good player.

235
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Britain strange available in like seven he's he's

236
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: been coming on strong.

237
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: Throwing the ball. He's been out there even before his injury.

238
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: They do, yeah, they do. He's I like his game.

239
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: I think he's he's sneaky, I think under the radar

240
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: in the kind of tight end conversation, but I think

241
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 2: he can really be effective. Uh, Matt, I think that's

242
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: about it.

243
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: Probably.

244
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, in terms of in terms of waiver wire names

245
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: to discuss and all that, let's take a break here.

246
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: We'll do power rankings on the other side, and then

247
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: let's look at some of that playoff bubble picture and

248
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: percentages and that we were.

249
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 3: Totally podcast on today.

250
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 2: It's well good.

251
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: It's a hairy mess, right boy, is it. Yeah, there's

252
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 3: some big games coming.

253
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: Up, there are, and we'll we'll do that in this

254
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: hour before week yeah, yeah, no doubt. Starting here and

255
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 2: in a little about forty eight hours.

256
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: Or so, Thursday, is close to an elimination game. Probably is.

257
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: For doubt, it might be. It very well could be.

258
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: So we'll discuss all that as we roll along. Power

259
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: rankings on the other side, as we continue our number

260
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: two of the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio on

261
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 2: the Steelers Audio Network, you were.

262
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: Tunes about on your twenty four to seven home of

263
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: the Black and Goals Steelers Nation Radio.

264
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: Power Ranking Tuesdays here on the Drive, much like the Masters,

265
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: a tradition unlike any other, we start at the back

266
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: where there has been much debate over thirty one and

267
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: thirty two, and Matt and I have thought that it

268
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: should be the Raiders for a while, and once again

269
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: it continues to be the Raiders. They're at thirty two,

270
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: the Titans are at thirty one. I think those are

271
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: the clear cut to worst teams in the National.

272
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right at least. I always hate

273
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: saying teams aren't playing hard, but Tennessee's still playing hard,

274
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: and yeah, a bunch of young guys trying to prove.

275
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: Kind of like what we said about the Jets. Like

276
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: the Titans are good offseason away from not being a

277
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: pushover exactly.

278
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: I think they have their quarterback.

279
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: Which is the biggest case of the equation.

280
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: Raiders are a bit of a mess.

281
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 2: Raiders are a bit of a mess because they don't

282
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 2: have their quarterback and they're not gonna you know, they

283
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: move on from Geno Smith this offseason. It doesn't absolutely

284
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: hamper their salary cap or anything like that, but there's

285
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: some money attached there still.

286
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 3: Right, they didn't work.

287
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: No, you know, bringing a veteran quarterback, bringing a veteran

288
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: coach stabilize this thing, and it has not been not

289
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: been the case. So yeah, Raiders check in at thirty two,

290
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: Titans check in at thirty one. At number thirty, the

291
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints, I mean, I get it. I might

292
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: have them a spot or two higher, but I get it.

293
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: I get it. I mean, in this neighborhood, there's a

294
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: bunch of bad records and a lot of losses. And

295
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: right again, I don't think they're a hopeless case. I

296
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 3: think they could have a surprise winning them between now

297
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: and the end of the season. We didn't see coming,

298
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: but they will probably say that for the next couple teams.

299
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Checking in at number twenty nine.

300
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: Falling last night up in New England. It's the g men.

301
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart back in the fold and shock or Matt

302
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: He took a few big shots in that one.

303
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: Sure did. I I was sitting there thinking as we

304
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: were talking Saints some like when I go Saints or Giants,

305
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: you know, splitting hairs. But yeah, I don't know. I

306
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: can understand both. But I probably would have the Saints ahead.

307
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: Of depend on where the game was.

308
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: But you mentioned that Dart he took a couple of

309
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 3: big shots.

310
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I.

311
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: Love that the NFL. I know that protecting quarterbacks is

312
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: the rule number one, but these quarterbacks that just kind

313
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: of ease out of bounds.

314
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: Sorry, and you don't get that benefit of the doubt, man.

315
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: No, the league is letting you light them up. I

316
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: mean Ramsey did a couple of weeks ago or recently

317
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: two and and frankly, the biggest culprits are my homes.

318
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: And Lamars and Lamar have made a living out of

319
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: get the defender to slow down. Yeah, and I'll pick

320
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: up an extra five yards by It drives me nuts.

321
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: Drives me nuts. And I'm glad that you're if you're

322
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 3: if you're in bounds, they're letting you blasto them good.

323
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: As they should and in that situation, they're not a

324
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: quarterback back in the pocket. They're a runner, right, you know,

325
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: like and get.

326
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 3: There william They learn there's a couple of these young

327
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: guys that coming to league Dart, Caleb Williams, that think

328
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: that they can get away with it. Jaiden Daniels, Yeah, exactly,

329
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: You're not gonna get away with it. No.

330
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams might love to take Sax Jackson Dart love

331
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: to take hits.

332
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: He sure do. He worries me every time I watch

333
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: him play.

334
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: Him and Jade and Daniels like they did it at

335
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: LSU and Old Miss. That's one thing to do it there, but.

336
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: A long season and you're super valuable here yet.

337
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: Just you can't. You gotta you gotta live to fight

338
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: another down as the Yeah, the Giants check in at

339
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: number twenty nine, number twenty eight. The Cleveland Brands not

340
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: the follow up performance by should Or, saying that they

341
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: were looking for.

342
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: No and I shouldn't shock anybody, No, I mean, it's

343
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: who he.

344
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: Is and against they, while albeit beat up, still a

345
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: veteran knows how to win Niners teams.

346
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, a playoff team, Yeah, Yeah, yeah.

347
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: Number twenty seven up a couple spots after winning a game.

348
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: It's the j E T s Jets, Jets, Jets checking

349
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: in at twenty seven.

350
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: It could be in the process of saving his job.

351
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: And we did mention them earlier that there's some building

352
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: blocks there in place and maybe there's a little bit

353
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: of hope with the all the draft capital.

354
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: Yes. I again, there's plenty of teams that are in

355
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: this position on a year to year basis, and some

356
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: take advantage of it.

357
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: And yeah, don't, and the Jets historically don't.

358
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: The Jets historically don't. But again they are. They're set

359
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: up to take a step forward this offseason if they

360
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: can make the right moves. Yeah, twenty six continuing seven

361
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: straight losses in one score games. Now, Yeah, the Arizona Cardinals.

362
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're like the I think they're

363
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: clearly better than all these teams we mentioned. I do too,

364
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: but they are but they are man, are they the

365
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: best bad team out there?

366
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: Maybe? I mean they've won one of their last ten games.

367
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: Now they are a bad team. But this is nuts.

368
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: Over the last eight games, Arizona averaging three hundred and

369
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: seventy one yards per game that's seventh best in the NFL,

370
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: but just twenty two points. Wow, Wow, the crazy. Yeah,

371
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: you're getting down into the red zone and you're vomiting

372
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: all over your sea.

373
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. And McBride's having putting up numbers, and Michael Wilson's

374
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: putting up numbers, and Marvin's back and but still they

375
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: just don't ever win.

376
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 2: They've been outscored by forty points in the fourth quarter

377
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: of this season. They are really that's a tough that's

378
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: a tough way to make.

379
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: Some of that stuff with the Steelers. I didn't know

380
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: that'e how bad it was.

381
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: For the tough way to make a living. They follow

382
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: a couple spots down to twenty six, continuing to fall

383
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: down down this list is the Minnesota Vikings. And I'm

384
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: not saying I disagree with it, but they check in

385
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: at number twenty five.

386
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: They're in a bad place.

387
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 2: You got no quarterback.

388
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: It's all no quarterback, right Yeah. I might take the

389
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: Cardinals played Minnesota in Wichita. Right now, I think I

390
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: take the Cardinals.

391
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm making trust the guy. I might take the

392
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: Giants over the Vikings.

393
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: The Saints could be the Vikings right now. I mean

394
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: they could lose a bit. It's just about anyone not

395
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: the Raiders are Tights that wouldn't fourteen games.

396
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Yeah, of all the surprising teams

397
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 2: in either direction, surprising because they've done better, surprising because

398
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: they've done worse. Yeah, Vikings might be the most surprising.

399
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: I think they've had the worst quarterback play in the league.

400
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: It's three different guys. Now.

401
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, not great. No for again for a team

402
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: that was, you know, won fourteen games last year and.

403
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: Was a lot of pieces.

404
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: I mean they were a week eighteen win against Detroit

405
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: away from being the number one seed in the NFC

406
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: last yeah, yeah, yeah, and now they're going to be

407
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: completely out of the playoffs and maybe picking the top ten.

408
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 3: In brutal division.

409
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. Falcons checking in at twenty four, they're down a

410
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: few spots. Jets, it might.

411
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: Be their seasons pretty miserable too.

412
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: It is. I mean, they've got some nice players, but

413
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: right they.

414
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, quarterback issues or at least concerns. And I know

415
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 3: Penn X will start the season. He's not at the

416
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: McCarthy level, but I don't know that they should be

417
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: super thrilled with where he's at.

418
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: No. Definitely not definitely not the Commander's checking. At twenty three. Matter,

419
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 2: they actually moved up a couple of spots after two

420
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: straight overtime losses.

421
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: They've looked okay lately.

422
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not a disaster, right.

423
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: That was pretty fun game Sunday night, you know or

424
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: Sunday night, you know, right.

425
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: And honestly, if I'm a Commanders fan, I'm kind of

426
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 2: liking how this is playing out because the team has

427
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: showing like they're not rolling over and dying, right, but

428
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: they keep losing. That's okay, Yeah, let's let's retool this thing.

429
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: Let's get Daniels.

430
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: We'll get back next year. I'm looking at I wouldn't

431
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: be lost.

432
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: Season, but maybe we'll be vacupating this thing a year

433
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: from the lost season.

434
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: But at least we're going to have a top pick

435
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: and and not you know, kind of wait in the

436
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: mushy middle.

437
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

438
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: Twenty two the Cincinnati Bengals up a few spots after

439
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow returns and they thrashed the Ravens on Thanksgiving.

440
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 3: I might have him higher. I mean, this isn't the same.

441
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: Power ranks aren't the same as like playoff predictions and

442
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: I'm not predicting they're gonna win the but they could

443
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: run the table and win the North. Oh. I don't

444
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 3: think that's going to happen.

445
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen either, but you're you're

446
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: technically right. They could at this point. And that's again

447
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: getting back for Cincinnati. If you just had one of

448
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: those games that got away from you, if you just

449
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: had one and you were five and seven instead of

450
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: four and eight.

451
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're a game away from being interesting, just kind.

452
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: Of the game away from being a game away exactly.

453
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 3: Although I'm looking over your shoulder and Miami's ahead of them.

454
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 3: Miami's playing pretty well.

455
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: Yes, they would have Miami.

456
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 3: Ahead of them.

457
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: That's a good point, and Miami does check in it

458
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: number twenty one. They could still definitely finish with a

459
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 2: winning record.

460
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: They've gone, Yeah, they get some momentum here.

461
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: They've got the Jets, and then they come to Pittsburgh.

462
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: I mean, they could be six and seven rolling in

463
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: here for Monday Night football, which I don't think any

464
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: of us predicted a couple months ago. They deserve some

465
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: credit after selling off a lot of assets.

466
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: They look terrible after looking ar so Yeah.

467
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's been an impressive return to form by

468
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: the Dolphins over the last weeks here.

469
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: It has and we might have mentioned this yesterday, but

470
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: I think Miami and Carolina, definitely Carolina are going to

471
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: be out of that first round quarterback mix. Now. I

472
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: would think you run it back with two and you

473
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 3: definitely do it. Bryce Young at this point, yeah, at

474
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: least one more year.

475
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: Agreed. Agreed. Matt checking in here at number twenty, I

476
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 2: think probably the lowest we've seen them, maybe all year.

477
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: The Pittsburgh Steelers, I almost guarantee that's the lowest they've

478
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: been all year, and they're coming off their worst game.

479
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with that. I think i'd

480
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 3: probably put them right in that neighborhood too.

481
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: At number nineteen, down seven spots, I think the lowest

482
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 2: we've seen them this year as well. It's the Kansas

483
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: City Chiefs.

484
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 3: Ooh, I can't have them that low. I mean, they've

485
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: I still have them ahead of like the Chargers, the Panthers,

486
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: the Bucks. That's the neighborhood I'm talking about there.

487
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: I don't hate it. I mean I might have I

488
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: might have Kansas City two spots higher, but I again.

489
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 3: Like if you start playing with like playoff simulators and stuff,

490
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 3: there's a very good chance they do not go.

491
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, we're gonna get to that in just

492
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: a few minutes. And there their numbers right now aren't

493
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: looking good and they've still got some tough games ahead.

494
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 2: Number eight.

495
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: They lose to Houston this week. Who's back. I do

496
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 3: think he's better than them.

497
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: That they would have no tie breakers against.

498
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 3: Any loss would be critical.

499
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, lost to Jacksonville, lost to Houston. I mean they

500
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: do have the tiebreaker over Indye, I guess, but that

501
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: would be.

502
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 3: About to win the division.

503
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: No. Uh, Carolina at number eighteen, seven and six, one

504
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 2: of the more surprisingly good start teams.

505
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've had some real highs.

506
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 2: They might have had the best win of anybody last week.

507
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine with them right now. Neighborhood.

508
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fair.

509
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: The god to have him had the Steelers right now?

510
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, they just beat the Rams,

511
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 2: who were number one on everybody's power.

512
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: Played their best games, just play played their worst games.

513
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: Right, you're and as my dad always says, it's good

514
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: your last performance. Number seventeen is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

515
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: I have hope that they'll half game ahead of Carolina,

516
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 2: that they'll start to assert themselves in that division. And

517
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: you know, I doubt like a week eighteen games would

518
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: be the difference between Tampa and Carolina winning that division. Yes, yes,

519
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: checking in here at number sixteen, it's the Dallas Cowboys

520
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: up a couple spots after beating the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day.

521
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: They are six five and one and still in the hunt.

522
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: They are a pill battle, but still in the hunt.

523
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: They go to Detroit Thursday. Both those teams played Thanksgivings,

524
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: so they're gonna play a week later, which I'm glad

525
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 3: they do. I like that, But if they lose, they're out.

526
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 3: I mean not mathematically, but if they lose that game,

527
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: they're out. They're kind of like the Bengals story where

528
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: if you get one more win early in the season,

529
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 3: or if you get pulled off maybe the Quinn Williams

530
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 3: trade two weeks before you did it or whatever, that

531
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 3: maybe they'd have a hunt being the hunt, or if

532
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: they're in the AFC, they'd be in the hunt. They're

533
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: playing really well.

534
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: Yes, yes they are. They're that kind of proverbial like

535
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 2: I would not want to see that team right now.

536
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 3: No, like I might pick them beat the Lions, yeah

537
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: in Detroit, Yeah, in a very crucial game.

538
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 2: And they're they The Cowboys are much better on defense

539
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: and they're still humming on offense. Number fifteen is the

540
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: Chargers up to eight and four.

541
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 3: I don't understand that, but it would be much lower

542
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: for me.

543
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: I think so, particularly with Herbert's fractured left hand.

544
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean they are right.

545
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: And four, but yeah, the issues are still the same

546
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: there and now the quarterbacks banged up.

547
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Chiefs Dallas. I mean, several of these

548
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 3: teams we mentioned lately I would have ahead of the Charger.

549
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: I don't think the Chargers a getting up in the playoffs.

550
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: This one's surprising to me. But at number fourteen, it's

551
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens.

552
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: The more work I do on them, the less I

553
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: like them. Yeah, I know they had a winning streak before.

554
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 2: They have the Cowboys ahead of them. I have the

555
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: Chargers ahead of them. Yeah, I know the Chargers have

556
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: their issues, but so does Baltimore.

557
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 3: Waltimore's got a lot of issues and some of its

558
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: pass rush and no line and don't really have a

559
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 3: number one receiver right now. And one thing about them

560
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: and that, boy, I can't harpen this enough how much

561
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: I hate playing a second straight opponent with the rest advantage.

562
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: You brought that up a couple of times. Yeah, I

563
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: understand why.

564
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: But Lamar missed a lot of throws against the Bengals,

565
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 3: but he started to look a little more explosive as

566
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: a runner. That was just starting to show up. And

567
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: now with ten days you might get him looking like

568
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: an explosive runner again, because I'll send you to some

569
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 3: of the stats stuff, of course, but since he's played

570
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 3: five games since he's been back, and he's averaging like

571
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: eighteen rushing yards of games since he's been back, and

572
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 3: there's like no design runs.

573
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: He is clearly not healthy. Yeah, and yeah, because of that,

574
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: they're not the same offense.

575
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: No, No, he rose all ships.

576
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: You know, yes, And I'm interested to see that as

577
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: one of the biggest storylines. Sunday at one o'clock at

578
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: M and T Bank Stadium, Number thirteen, the Houston Texans.

579
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 2: I'm high on thet tack four straight five of their

580
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: last week.

581
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: I believe all their momentum.

582
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 2: I might have the best defense in the NFL. Awesome,

583
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: and you know, they navigated the loss of Stroud there

584
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: and it.

585
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: Looks kind of got better. In the meantime, they had.

586
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: Some key injuries, new offensive coordinator, like, it took some

587
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: time for that offense to all come together.

588
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 3: But I think I think they're getting there.

589
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 2: The team there are another one of those, must be

590
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: something in the water in Texas, like kind of like Dallas.

591
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 2: They're hitting their stride now, hitting their stride. Now will

592
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: it be enough to get into the playoffs still to

593
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: be seen, But I really like their chances, especially if

594
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 2: they get a win on Thursday. Just ahead of them

595
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: is the team that's just ahead of them in their division,

596
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: number twelve, the Jacksonville Jaguars Jagson Chargers.

597
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sold on that. I don't know that

598
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: their playoff caliber teams.

599
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: One of them I think is going to get in,

600
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 2: probably because it's I don't think it's gonna be the Chiefs.

601
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 3: They both have a lot of things going for them.

602
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think this is about the right range for.

603
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 3: Jackson, Like I think Houston's better than Jacksonville.

604
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 2: I do too, and they just a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,

605
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 2: but yeah, those they're just a spot a part at

606
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: twelve and thirteen, not the end of the world after

607
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: a painful Thanksgiving loss to the Packers. The Detroit Lions.

608
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: The seven and five Detroit Lions check in at number eleven.

609
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: When you start fiddling with the playoff stuff, I don't

610
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 3: think they're gonna end up in which is amazing, it

611
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 3: really is. Can imagine if the Chiefs and Lions, both

612
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: of them make the playoffs?

613
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: Crazy? Yeah, two of the two the absolute betting favorites

614
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: going into this year.

615
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: Final four teams last night?

616
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, Well I guess the line, but

617
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: still were close.

618
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

619
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: Number one Washington on the seat in the end of

620
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: last year. Number ten is those Philadelphia Eagles, Matt something

621
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: feels off in Philly. Oh, it does. Something's wrong in

622
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: the water out there in Philly.

623
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem with where they're at though

624
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 3: in the rankings.

625
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: I don't they I think could still figure it out.

626
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: But it also feels a little dif than some of

627
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: these past years where Philly's had their struggles.

628
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think there's some offensive coordinator stuff.

629
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: Yes, agreed, defense isn't quite as great as you would

630
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 2: want it to be, and the run game is just

631
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: nowhere close to what it was last year. No, that's

632
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: their biggest among everything else. It's the offensive line is

633
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: not as good. Because of that, Saquon and the run

634
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: game are not as good. I think that's their biggest issue.

635
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: I'm not going to divulge it right now, but we

636
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 3: just got TV to send us some late breaking Steeler news.

637
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 3: We can end the show with.

638
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: All right, let's get through this and then we'll do

639
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: some breaking news. Number nine to Buffalo Bills.

640
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: I'm still not sold. I mean, I don't think their

641
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: run defense is very good, and I don't think their

642
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: receivers are very good. Same, they played a very good game.

643
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: They did.

644
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: It wasn't just a Steelers being bad. They played a

645
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: very good game. But I think Josh Allen is unbelievable

646
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: but too important to them.

647
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: I agree, but I'm also going to give them benefit

648
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: of the doubt. Yeah for having that that Yeah, and

649
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 2: the way that that Cook is running the ball too,

650
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: is true makes them tough. The Niners check in at

651
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: number eight.

652
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

653
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: That might be a little high for me, but they're

654
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: nine and four man and they just keep winning in

655
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: like the toughest division football.

656
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know if we'll get to it

657
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: now or not with the news, but in terms of

658
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 3: playoff probability.

659
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: You can always do that tomorrow.

660
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, say, we can go on and on about it,

661
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 3: but I did a whole show today. But basically, the

662
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 3: athletic has a really good playoff predictor thing you can

663
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: fiddle with and you get kind of lost in it,

664
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: like what if they lose this game here in this

665
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 3: you know, but right now, the team with the best

666
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: percentage to go to the postseason is the Niners and

667
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 3: the NFC is the Niners ninety Yeah, which is crazy,

668
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 3: like three teams in the Western going.

669
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, they are, yeah, they they they absolutely are.

670
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: I think that we can all agree on. I think

671
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: it's probably the best division in football, and man, it's

672
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: crazy impressive when you can.

673
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: I don't think the Lions are going all the.

674
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the injuries that the Niners have navigated this year,

675
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year performing number seven the Indianapolis that

676
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: by right, which is perfect timing for them.

677
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 3: Same with the Patriots. Patriots played all those rookie, all

678
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 3: those rookies, all those snaps like it's a great.

679
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: Time, perfect time for those teams to have, and then

680
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: the Patriots.

681
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: Come out of the by to play the Bills, which

682
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 3: could just wrap Division two weeks to prepare for the Bill.

683
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: Number seven, Matt down three spots. It's the Colts. I

684
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: don't like I don't like it. Daniel Jones speaking of

685
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who aren't healthy. Daniel Jones clearly not healthy now

686
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: and he hasn't like.

687
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: Turned into a pumpkin, but he's not moving like he did.

688
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: Their schedule is really tough to r.

689
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: I think they'll they'll probably limp in, but I don't

690
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 3: think they're playing great. No.

691
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: No, they're definitely not running in the wrong direction, the

692
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: opposite of the textans.

693
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 3: They're not putting up the crazy offensive numbers like when

694
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 3: the Steelers saw him and Taylor and all that.

695
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Number six up five spots. The highest they've been

696
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: this year, the highest they've probably been since Jake Cutler

697
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: took them to the NFC Championship game. The ship d

698
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: Bears the Bears at number six.

699
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: Their offense is great.

700
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: I don't I don't. I think i'd have him ahead

701
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: of the Colts. I don't know about the Niners, but

702
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: I think I have them ahead of the Colts.

703
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: I think them ahead of both those teams. Yeah, I

704
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 3: think they got a coach and quarterbacks coming along well,

705
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: and they just keep passing every test. What's really cool

706
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: is they play them, and then the Packers play two

707
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: of the next three weeks, they play this upcoming week,

708
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: then there's one in between there and they play again.

709
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: And really, if the Bears only win one of the two,

710
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: they're basically yes, you.

711
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: Know yes, and it's hey, who saw that coming?

712
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: Right?

713
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: The Packers check in just a spot ahead of them

714
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: at number five, eight, three and one verse nine and three.

715
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 3: We could fight who should go ahead of the other, but.

716
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: I think based on current form, it should probably be Chicago.

717
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: Based on bigger picture benefit of the doubt, it should

718
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: probably be Great Bad.

719
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 3: I think I probably trust Green Bay more. I trust

720
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 3: Love more. You know.

721
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: Number four here Matt ten straight wins on the bounce. Yeah,

722
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: it's the eleven and two New England Patriots.

723
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: Totally took care of business last night. May is very

724
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: much in the MVP conversation and they have their by

725
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 3: which they should be thrilled about.

726
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: It's still crazy that they lost to Las Vegas earlier

727
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: this year. Now, I know that's Week one. Wow, wild

728
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: things happened week one million years.

729
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 3: Ago, the coach.

730
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 2: But it is funny that that much. That's one of

731
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: their two losses are to Vegas and the Steelers.

732
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: They showed a graphic last night of all the money

733
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 3: they've spent, you know, the big name acquisitions, and they

734
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 3: basically all were hits. You know, Diggs and Moses at

735
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 3: right tackle, Yeah, Mill Williams and you know.

736
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos check in at number three. Matt overtime win

737
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: against Washington on Sunday night. They stick right there at

738
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: number three. They are ten and two.

739
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 3: Nix keeps looking better. I mean, I think he's gradually

740
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 3: coming back to like that. Last year was sort of

741
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: that way. He started slow and get better and better

742
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 3: and better. They have a variety of weapons, defense top

743
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: to notch. Yeah, I guess they're number one in the AFC.

744
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 3: I there a problem with.

745
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, I mean, I guess New England has like

746
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 2: the half game advantage on them. Sam and O their

747
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: bye week yet, But if those two teams were playing,

748
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: I think I would lean towards Denver at this moment probably. Yeah.

749
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

750
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: Number two the Seattle Seahawks and number three the LA

751
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: ran despite a loss at home to the Panthers, or

752
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: was that in Carolina? You're right, partly, I don't hate it.

753
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 3: I mean I would have those as the top two.

754
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: I think I'd still have those as the top two

755
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: again if you want to argue on like current form

756
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: and all those things.

757
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: But Seattle destroyed the Vikings, destroyed them and would have

758
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 3: won the game if they didn't snap the ball.

759
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: Five takeaways, four sacks, zero points allowed.

760
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and my top fantasy team I got thirty four

761
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 3: points out nice.

762
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then LA at number one. I still I

763
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: don't have that. I think they'd probably still be my

764
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: Super Bowl pick if I had to make one today. Yeah,

765
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: you know, despite losing a tough back and forth one

766
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 2: in Charlotte and Carolina is certainly better than we thought.

767
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: There's the week thirteen power rankings as we head into

768
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 2: Week fourteen, So I guess it's the week fourteen power

769
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: rankings on the back of Week thirteen. You get what

770
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: I'm saying there. We do have some Steelers breaking news

771
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 2: that we will discuss on the other side before we

772
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: get up out of here. Matt Williamson, Wes Shuler, it's

773
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: the drive on Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network,

774
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: Your tunes.

775
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

776
00:34:50,200 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

777
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk playoff scenarios tomorrow because we have

778
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: got some breaking news, some important news and Matt from

779
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter and really everybody else that covers the Steelers locally.

780
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: The Steelers in cornerback Darius Slay have mutually agreed to

781
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: part ways. According to Darius Slay's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, Slay

782
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: is interested in continuing to play, and we'll consider signing

783
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: with other teams, but his time in Pittsburgh has come

784
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: to an end. And with that, a Sante Samuel Junior

785
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster.

786
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 3: Okay, In some ways, I think it's good news because

787
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 3: they must have faith in Samuel, and maybe they even

788
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 3: have faith that Pierre can be ready this week. Who knows.

789
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not sure they even know that answer.

790
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 3: Eccles can also play outside. Slay was I hate, like

791
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 3: kicking dirt on them as they walk out the door

792
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 3: type thing, but it was a failed experiment. They didn't

793
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 3: invest a ton in it. Corners at that age like

794
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: Patrick Peterson don't usually work out, and I think they

795
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 3: brought him in with the intentions of he could still

796
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 3: play a lot of man coverage for you and be

797
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 3: a strong number two opposite Ramsey or Porter or whoever,

798
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 3: and really wasn't wasn't the most interested fella in sticking

799
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 3: his nose in and run support or tackling either. So

800
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: at his age, with Samuel falling in your lap, fine,

801
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: I don't think it hurts you much that he leaves.

802
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: He doesn't play special teams, and if he's going to

803
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 3: be inactive like he was last week when everybody's full go,

804
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: you do him a favor and say, especially at that position,

805
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 3: our teams are always looking for corners. Oh absolutely, there's

806
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 3: probably a playoff team that'll say, yeah, I'll bring him

807
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 3: in because we're down two guys or whatever. You know.

808
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: I think from his standpoint it makes sense, and I

809
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 2: think from the Steelers standpoint it makes a lot of sense.

810
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: We have seen his usage cut drastically and then we

811
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 2: saw him be a scratch and it says a lot yeah, yeah,

812
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 2: And even with you know, some concerns about James Pierre's

813
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: status for this weekend, I think in what you have

814
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: in Echos and Joey Porter Junior, what you've seen now

815
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: from Assante Samuel Junior in practice and a very small

816
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: sample size, Like you're right, it's it's not to throw

817
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: dirt on the guy or try and poop po him

818
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: on the way out of the door.

819
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 3: It just didn't says about him every step.

820
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: Clearly, Like, yeah, it just clearly didn't work. And that,

821
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, that happens a lot of times when

822
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: you take these veteran deals on guys that are flyers.

823
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 2: I think from the Steelers standpoint, I like that they're

824
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 2: letting him go. Hey, if somebody else wants to bring

825
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 2: in and can use you and you can be in

826
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 2: a better situation. Fine, you saved a.

827
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 3: Little bit of money too, because you don't have to

828
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 3: pay him the next couple of weeks and whatever his

829
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: contract is divided by seventeen you.

830
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: Know, sure, sure, and yeah and hopefully you know over

831
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 2: these next couple of weeks. Here you can see something

832
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 2: in a Sante Samuel Junior that maybe there's something to build.

833
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: They must have some confidence in it, Like whether whether

834
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: it would have.

835
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 2: Worked out with Slay or not this year it was

836
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 2: likely a one it was a one year least. Wasn't

837
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 2: coming back next year, you know, it was a one

838
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 2: year least, whereas a Sante Samuel could be a mortgage

839
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 2: for a few years.

840
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 3: If it might be a starter opening day starter opposite Porter,

841
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: neet or he's at least coming one or the other.

842
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 2: He at least gets to Latrobe in late July and

843
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: he's there to compete for a spot or as a

844
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 2: legitimate part of the equation.

845
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: And I almost I did just say it does not

846
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 3: do one or the other. You could have kept both,

847
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 3: and he could. But it is tough to keep a

848
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 3: corner that doesn't help on special teams, and they both

849
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 3: doesn't help on special teams. Can you You know, it's

850
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 3: fine if your starter, but if you're the fourth guy,

851
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 3: it's been a great special team.

852
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: It's a great point, right that is that is a

853
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 2: great point.

854
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 3: And yeah, humility is they might be the fifth guy.

855
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 3: If I mean, if Eccles, Pierre, Samuel, Porter or all

856
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 3: ahead of you and you're the fifth guy, which I

857
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 3: think is the case when everyone's healthy, man, maybe it

858
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 3: would be the fourth guy this week without Pierre. You

859
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 3: have to be a special teamer, have to have to,

860
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: right at that position.

861
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 2: Especially when again, when you're down Pierre, when you're down

862
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 2: Miles kill a brew when you don't want to put

863
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 2: too much on Peyton, Wilson's play herbig and even Scronick

864
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: has been back and forth on the injury list, you know,

865
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 2: like you need some insurance in that in that department.

866
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

867
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of that July thing, when we get to

868
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: July real quick, you think Ramsey is still a safety

869
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: when we get to that point, Yeah, I'm leaning. I'm

870
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: leaning that way too.

871
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be shocked if Douger isn't back. But Elliott's

872
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: also in the mix too. I mean, he's still looming.

873
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 3: He could even play this year. Absolutely, it could become

874
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 3: a real strength. One thing I was gonna say, which

875
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 3: I don't mean is a compliment, but I kind of

876
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 3: do the last three and sixty five days, how many

877
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 3: defensive backs have come and gone a lot a million? Yeah,

878
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: I mean which I mean it as a compliment in

879
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 3: that they're not just gonna sit on if you're a

880
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 3: bad player. We're not so and we're to keep looking.

881
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 2: There, but they're gonna turn over every stone looking for

882
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 2: the answer.

883
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 3: But you also be like you also haven't hit on that.

884
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 3: I mean if you had, if you hit on everybody,

885
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 3: you wouldn't have the problem, you know, right.

886
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: You know to like it gets back to we've had

887
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 2: this conversation about quarterback and left tackle, and there's obviously exceptions,

888
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 2: like there is to every rule, but in large part,

889
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 2: I think corners in that conversation too, Like it's a

890
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 2: it's a I got invested. I don't want to. I

891
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 2: don't want to shop at at you know, at Uncle

892
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 2: Bob's used department. I want to I want to go

893
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: to the BMW dealership or the Poorsche dealership, the first

894
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: Round dealership. Yeah, exactly, exactly right. And so that's one

895
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,959
Speaker 2: of the things that you know that people like to

896
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: scream about and discuss, like, you know, like other than

897
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 2: Cam Sutton and I think Joey Porter junior. Now, you know,

898
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: when was the last time that like they drafted and

899
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 2: developed a corner and.

900
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: Orter the first one in a long time?

901
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 2: I agree, But there's also no one in the first

902
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 2: already Burns. I mean how long ago that that you

903
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 2: could point to and was like that was a huge

904
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 2: miss when you're drafting these guys in the fifth and

905
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: sixth and seventh rounds.

906
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 3: And signing Taylor.

907
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 2: Signing guys in their thirties. You know they the Pat

908
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: Peterson's and the and the Darius Slighs. You're gonna, you know,

909
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: need exceptions to the rule more often than not.

910
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you got to be able to be light

911
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 3: on your feet and move away from those dudes if

912
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 3: they don't work. And one of the issues too is

913
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 3: the same problem with offensive tackle is when you're picking

914
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 3: in the twenties, you don't get Ramsey or Peterson coming

915
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 3: out of school. That's the slam downk top bi pick.

916
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 3: I mean, those guys go quick.

917
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 2: It's the it's the Mercedes Benz lot, It's it's the

918
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 2: Porsche dealership. And there's only so many of those. Uh,

919
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: it's not like going anyone can go to Mercedes Benz

920
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 2: and Porsche, but there's only in these draft classes, there's

921
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: only a couple of Mercedes Benz and Porsches available at

922
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: Matt good Stuff Today. Enjoyed it fun conversation. As always,
