15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson and Matt. The

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: legal tampering period began today in the NFL, and the

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: Steelers wasted no time and going out and agreeing to

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: terms with Mr Robiski on a two year contract. Yeah,

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: how about it. I mean you and I have mentioned

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: this approach, you know, lumping Mariota and Winston in that

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: in that same bag. And boy, I mean everywhere you

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: turned in Indianapolis, Travisky, Travisky, Travisky, I mean, to the Steelers,

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: the Giants, I mean, just buzz people excited about him.

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: I like it. I mean, again, this happened Tennis before

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: we hit record on this podcast, so I mean it's

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: very fresh. I don't know the exact contract situation. I

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: don't know who else was in it, but this is

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: the approach I would have taken. And anyone that listens

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: to our show realizes, you know, it's something we've kind

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: of been in favor of. Yeah, I mean, if you

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: start looking at the options, um, you know, you you

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: you had Jamis Winston coming back off of a very

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: major knee injury. Um, you know you have Marcus Mariota

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: out there. But you know, I think his star has

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: kind of waned here in the last couple of seasons.

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I think people kind of I don't know what exactly

37
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: is and he can't stay healthy. I mean, the first

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: player from scrimmage this year that you know the Raiders

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: were going to use him as a is there quote

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: unquote running quarterback their mobile quarterback and first play from

41
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: scrimmage this year he gets hurt, and that's kind of

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: been his m O. And then you start looking at

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Trabiski and you're like, Okay, he's twenty seven. Mhm. He

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: was the second overall picking the draft in two thousand

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: and seventeen, taking ahead of Patrick Mahomes and DeShawn Watson.

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: And you know, whether that was a good idea or not,

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: we don't know. I mean it's I mean, it's shown

48
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: that it's something. Yeah, it's proven to not be the case.

49
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean, however, that he can't be a good

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: quarterback in the right situation. I I look at his

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: career record. He's twenty one as a starter, Yeah he was,

52
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: He went to the Pro Bowl. He had a winning

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: record in every season as a starter for the Bears

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: up to his rookie year. Okay, yeah, and he got

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: thrown right in the mix as a rookie and shouldn't

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: have been in there. And yeah, people forget too. He

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: had very limited college experience if you look at his

58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: college profile, very few games to go off of, you know,

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: so it was overdrafted, but probably was thrown in the

60
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: mix too soon. And I think a year on the

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: bench would have done him a lot of good then

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: well what did he go? And do you know, I

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: mean that was a big thing I liked about Winston

64
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: and Trabinsky was Yeah. I mean some of it might

65
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: have been forced on the more than I want to.

66
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: You know, UM realized with COVID, but they realized that

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: the best thing for me is to go to an

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: awesome situation to learn Buffalo New Orleans with fantastic offensive minds,

69
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: established quarterbacks, breeze at that point and just learn, you know,

70
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: from m v P level quarterbacks and coordinators and work

71
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: on what I'm not doing well and then give it

72
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: another shot. And I mean there's obviously arguments against Trabisky

73
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: right now too, Like you could say, why did his

74
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: stock go up in a year when he did nothing

75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: on the field. That's that's valid, you know, I mean,

76
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: but um, everyone around him raves about him. I really

77
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: think he's not the most accurate guy. But at this

78
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: kind of dawned on me when before we hit went

79
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: on the air. That accuracy. It's really interesting to me

80
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: because I think with all these quarterback gurus like Carson

81
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: Palmer's brother, Jordan's and all these type of guys, some

82
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: of these players which brings me to Alan who he

83
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: was behind, have gotten remarkably more accurate at the NFL

84
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: level because they work on biomechanics and all this advanced

85
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: technology working in their favor. I wonder if Trabisky looks

86
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: like a little bit of a different passer now than

87
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: he did last week saw him. Yeah, And we say

88
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: that in his his career completion and it's which is

89
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: which is fine, it's not, it's not outstanding. But the

90
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: one thing that he also gives you is that ability

91
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: to run. And I think we we talked about this

92
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: a lot in his last season in Chicago, which would

93
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: have been two years ago, um, where he was I

94
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: think a little banged up and they just didn't have

95
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: him run. There was a stretch there, right, I think

96
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: he was injured. Yeah, yeah, And so you know that

97
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: that's a concern with him. He has had some some

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: you know, injury issues and things like that. But you

99
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: still have Mason Rudolph, right, Alright, So you went in

100
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: from a situation where you know, as we sit here

101
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: right now, we don't know where DeShawn Watson is going

102
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: to end up, if he even ends up anywhere. Um,

103
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: what does this do to the Steelers quarterback situation. Where

104
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: do where does this put them in the hierarchy of

105
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: the a f C. It's still They're still not a

106
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: top No, I think it's low, but I think it's

107
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: also sort of incomplete. Yeah, I would agree. You know,

108
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: I think if you looked at this draft. We've talked

109
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: about this before, if Mitch Drabinsky was in this draft

110
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: without even knowing what we what we've seen from his

111
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: pro career, mhm, he's one of the top guys in

112
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: this draft. Oh yeah, without question. I mean, very toolsy.

113
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if people realize that. I mean, he

114
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: is a big, strong, sort of version of Josh Allen type.

115
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, Josh Allen is bigger and stronger and a

116
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: better runner, but he is than everyone else on the planet.

117
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: But Rabinsky is a better runner than Mariotta or Winston,

118
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: you know. And I think Mariotta is kind of a

119
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: straight line guy. Trabinsky is is a good accelerator. Remember

120
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: how Herbert ripped up the Steelers. Well, Robisky is much

121
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: better than that as a runner, I mean, and Herbert's

122
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,039
Speaker 1: a good runner. Um, You're not going to design a

123
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: lot of quarterback runs for him, but there will be

124
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: some I mean you, and he also gives you that

125
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: that option of of rollouts in quarterback movements, better on

126
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: stretch plays. You know, all the things that I think

127
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: Matt Canada wanted to do with the Steelers offense that

128
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: Ben Wroth Roethlisberger just wasn't capable of doing last year.

129
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: That's where I was gonna go with it too. Is

130
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: everyone knew where Ben was going to be after the

131
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: snap of the ball, you know, now you don't. I mean,

132
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: just the defending of the offensive scheme became much much

133
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: more difficult because of his movement skills and he does

134
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: have a big strong arm. And I promise that when

135
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: we go to mini camp or when we see him

136
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: throw live, I bet I don't know if I'll be

137
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: there or not, but you in pursuit of and those

138
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: guys will be like, wow, he's pretty impressive. Like I

139
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: bet when you see him live throwing the football, you're

140
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: gonna say that looks like the second overall pick in

141
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah. So the Steelers were aggressive. Um, they

142
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: needed to be aggressive in this situation when you don't

143
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: have a quarterback. You know, that was the thing that

144
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: that just drove me crazy last week when we saw

145
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback news happening, Well, what's gonna happen? You know,

146
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: we were driving back from uh from Indiana office when

147
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: all the stuff, Well, the Steelers have an offer on

148
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: the table for for the Packers for Aaron Rodgers. Well

149
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: they didn't. That was that. That was a false report, right,

150
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: And then you saw Russell Wilson get traded moments after

151
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, uh, Rogers said he was going to go

152
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: back to Green Bay. Why weren't the Steelers in on that?

153
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: Why didn't they do that? And then the Deshaun Watson stuff,

154
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, starts to touch to percolate in the in

155
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: the Carson Wentz trade. Why are the Steelers just sitting

156
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: around doing nothing? This was the plan, folks, This was

157
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: the plan. Sitting around doing nothing. Well, you could trade

158
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: for people, you couldn't sign anyone, Yeah, until you couldn't

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: agree to terms. It doesn't become official until Wednesday. Were cardless.

160
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: But you know, he couldn't do anything unless you were

161
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: willing to give up draft capital. Obviously they tart just

162
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: because the timing of it. I mean, I think that's

163
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: what you're going with here. Obviously this was their plan

164
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: from day one. This is the player they targeted. They

165
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: made it happen the second they were allowed to give

166
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: or take, I mean, thirty minutes out of the bell.

167
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they're very happy that they inked this

168
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: thing as soon as they did, because this was planed one.

169
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh man, we lost out on Rogers,

170
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: that Rogers never existed. I think Watson's a wild card

171
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: in that I believe, and I think we disagree on

172
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: this a little that I think Watson wanted to come here,

173
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: and he has the first write, a first refusal and

174
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: all that. But I would blame zero teams for not

175
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: getting involved with him. You know what I mean? You know,

176
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean plus the cost. I mean, so, folks, I

177
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: really think if the Steelers were to trade for Deshaun Watson,

178
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: let alone Wilson and Rogers, the twenty nick this year

179
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: doesn't carry that much weight. It's not like the ninth

180
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: from the Broncos or what Seattle or Carolina can offer you,

181
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: right right, So I mean, if Frank, I mean, if

182
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm Houston, I say, you can have DeShawn Watson if

183
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: you give me twenty next year, first both of your

184
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: seconds that year. Friar move in Claypool. I mean, that's

185
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. And still the Texans might say no. Yeah. Well,

186
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: the other interesting thing that happened over the weekend Matt

187
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: and the musical chair, the quarterback musical charts. Uh. Tom

188
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Brady is saying he's coming back. He's unretiring and going

189
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: back to Tampa Bay. Uh. The Steelers now sign a quarterback.

190
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: So the Deshaun Watson landing spots are shrinking by the day. Yeah,

191
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: but some new names have come up to like I

192
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: don't know how much you've been following this, and I'm

193
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: sure on top of Drabinsky, but he's gonna meet with

194
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: the Panthers in Saints. I think Seattle should be in

195
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: the mix. We heard a lot of Philly stuff over

196
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: the weekend, and now the latest buzz is Cleveland sends

197
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Mayfield and a bunch of stuff to Houston for Watson.

198
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you see, I don't see that here. See,

199
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: here's why I don't see that happening. Mac. The Browns

200
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: are already up against the salary cap after making the

201
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: Maori Cooper trade over the weekend. Now they cut Jarvis Land,

202
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: but that was expected. I did a little research thing

203
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: over there when they when they made the trade for

204
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: Cooper and they have they're paying their offense eighty three

205
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: million dollars tied up in their top five offensive players.

206
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: That's a Maori Cooper, that is j C. Treader that

207
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: is uh the right tackle, and Joku and Hooper and

208
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: the franchise tag in Joco and Hooper, they gets twenty

209
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: three million dollars. And then Conklin. Yeah, who are those

210
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: guys especial? No, even a mari he's not Special's a

211
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: good receiver, he's not a great receiver. And you've got

212
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: eighty three million dollars tied up and those guys you

213
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: can't afford to them at a thirty five million dollar

214
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: quarterback to that as well, unless you start, unless you're

215
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: willing to part. You know, are they gonna trade the

216
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, one of the promising young linebacker Uh JK, yeah,

217
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean they may have to trade. Uh it was

218
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: called works wills, you know. I mean guys like you know,

219
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: the cornerback. They they're drafted first that last Yearnew something.

220
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: Those are the people I want. If and then and

221
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: then you lose all your draft feed may be draft

222
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: picks to replace those guys or catch base. I mean,

223
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: we'll focus on the Steelers, but I mean you mentioned

224
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: the highest price Browns, but the rest of the old

225
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: line is all making big money. Not only they have

226
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: two running backs making big money, but they just picked

227
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: up the Ernest Johnson's on a second round tender. He's

228
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: making like two and a half. I mean, it's bonkers

229
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: what they're paying on offense. They were the highest tap

230
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: hit on offense last year before all the some of

231
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: these moves, and they're still not paying their quarterback. I mean,

232
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: it's a weird roster construction and I don't know where

233
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: the money coming. I also don't think DeShawn wants him

234
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: wants to go to Cleveland. I don't think it's super desirable.

235
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: Last year, yeah, last year, um when the Eagles were

236
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: trying to make a deal for him, the Eagles were

237
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: in the mix, and he didn't want to go to

238
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: Philadelphia either, right, That's I think he wants to stay

239
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: in the South. I think he wants to stay in

240
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: warm weather. I think he wants to be in a

241
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, a comfortable unless it was for a team

242
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: maybe the Steeler, like the Steelers where you know there's

243
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin there that's Brian Flores, the Tarrell Austin. You know, tradition, Yeah,

244
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: the tradition. You know what the quarter, you know what's

245
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: what to expect um. I'd rather stay in the NFC too,

246
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: But you'd rather stay in the NFC. And if you yeah,

247
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: and if you're Houston, you want to trade him to

248
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: an NFC team, Well, you don't want to up at Indy.

249
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: You don't want it to see him every other year

250
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: where every year? I mean, that's that's crazy. So I

251
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: don't know if Watson the Steelers was ever a real thing.

252
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: I was not. They were not interested. They were not

253
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: at all. They were not at all interested in that

254
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: they were They were all in on ms Rabinsky. Whether

255
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: that that shows right, yeah, whether that's right wrong or

256
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: in different time will show. But it's only a two

257
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: year deal. That's the beauty of it too. Like we'll

258
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: talk so much for Wisky, I'm sure this week and

259
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: going forward, but I wonder forever. It's two years. Probably

260
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm curious how it's structured. But the fact that it's

261
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: a two year deal is exactly how you and I

262
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: laid it out for the Winston Mario Trabisty tier in

263
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: that you could catch lightning in the bottle of a

264
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: guy that was drafted in the first two picks and

265
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: he turns into a star, then you have him at

266
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: a steel next year and you can start talking extension.

267
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: If he stinks you're you're not that hi to him,

268
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: I assume the contract isn't that binding. And I don't

269
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: know about this yet. I haven't thought about it enough.

270
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Let's say they still love Willis and you of course

271
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: would not trade up for him. But if he's sitting

272
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: there at twenty, you think that's still a chance. Oh yeah,

273
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: I think you know, if if he's the highest rated

274
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: player on their board, I think to take him. I

275
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: don't know that they take Kenny Pickett. In that situation,

276
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: Willis makes a ton of sense. Willis makes a ton

277
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: of sense. And if it works, If if Trabinsky works

278
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: out and you're a playoff team next year, then you're

279
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: sticking with Trabinsky. If it doesn't. If it doesn't work out,

280
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: you're back in the quarterback market next year, and you know,

281
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: you see what happens. That means you're you're probably you're

282
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: picking somewhere eighteen or a higher, which you weren't right, right, right, right, right,

283
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: exactly in a better group to pick from. I mean,

284
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: if you still are in love with any of them,

285
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: and I just keep using Willis as that example because

286
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: of the upside and the rumors and all that, you

287
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: can still do it. Or you know, I've been talking

288
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: about Desmond Ritter. If he's sitting there in the second round.

289
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't condemn them for doing that either. But I

290
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: think my guest is the moves we see on offense

291
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: going forward are going to revolve around the running game

292
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more, you know. And let's say you

293
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: get five hundred, four hundred or fifty whatever yards from

294
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: your quarterback on the ground this year. I mean, rankings

295
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: don't matter that much, but you're not gonna be a

296
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: bottom ranked offense, you know, with a quarterback pitching in

297
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: or you know, so many situations he's gonna help you

298
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: with his legs compared to what we're used to watching. Yeah,

299
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean we've talked about this before. I mean,

300
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: if he adds let's say he just adds twenty rushing

301
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: yards a game on average, yeah, right, three runs. Well,

302
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: now instead of averaging ninety rushing yards for let you know, again,

303
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: they're their running game with Naji Harris is the same

304
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: as it was this year. They get ninety yards rushing

305
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: per game out of that, and they've ended rounds and

306
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: all rushing yards per game with your quarterback right right,

307
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: it's probably Yeah, you're probably thirty seconds more a time

308
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: of possession. That doesn't sound like much, it's a time

309
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: and things like that. You're in fewer third and longs,

310
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, your defense plays fewer snaps. You know, like

311
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: there's a ripple effect for those extra twenty yards per games. Yeah, absolutely,

312
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: and it makes you, you know, it just makes you

313
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: more versatile than what you had been as you as

314
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: you mentioned it at the start of the show, you

315
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: knew where Ben Roethlisberger was going to be. I'm I

316
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: think the Steelers. That's not the point. We know he's

317
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Fame and I'm not in

318
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: at all, but I'm gonna lay it out there. The

319
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: Steeler's offense was possibly the easiest one to play against

320
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: in the league. You know, if the ball wasn't out

321
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: in two and a half seconds down the deep sideline, yeah,

322
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: you knew where he was gonna be at and the

323
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: past rush was going to get there. This makes the

324
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: offensive I'm better too, It makes everything better. I mean,

325
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: he may fall on his face, but the fact that

326
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: he can threaten a defense in different ways has a

327
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: lot of value. But I agree, you know, and I

328
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: don't think he was playing behind the best offensive line

329
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: in Chicago at all. It was it was a bad

330
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: offensive line if you look at that season. His second

331
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: year in the league, again led them to a started

332
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: fourteen games, led them to an eleven and three record,

333
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: completed sixty six point six percent of his passes, twenty

334
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, twelve interceptions. You'd like to see him kept

335
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: down in the interceptions a little bit, but it's a

336
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: two to one ratio is still very acceptable. Yeah. Yeah, uh.

337
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: He had at four passer rating his last season in Chicago.

338
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: His last year, they they this is when they decided

339
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: not to pick up his option. In ten games, completed

340
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: sixty seven percent of his passes, was sixteen touchdowns and

341
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 1: eight interceptions. The passer rating and n point five. I mean,

342
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: it's two seasons that he's had where he's had a

343
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: passer rating, where he's played a lot of snaps. It

344
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: had a passer rating of of over ninety that I

345
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: believe it. That's better than I thought. Um, I will

346
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: say the things that he needs to work on, or

347
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: hopefully has been working on. That's the thing is, he

348
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: needs to sit around on his hands. Even though he

349
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: didn't play a lot of staff of the Bills, general

350
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: accuracy is below average for a starting quarter things of

351
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: that nature. Yeah, he's a little bit of a sea

352
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: it and throw it guy, But that doesn't worry me

353
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: so much. I mean, I don't think his anticipation is

354
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: particularly bad, but his ball placement in general accuracy is

355
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: below the average. It's not terrible, it's below average. Um.

356
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: He didn't handle blitz very well, which isn't uncommon for

357
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks by the way, you know. Um, but neither

358
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: did Alan with his accuracy and blitz pick up early

359
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: in his careers too. Like, I'm sure he learned some

360
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: things in the last year. Yeah. Absolutely, Again, I just

361
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: think you need to find ways to keep him healthy. Um,

362
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, protect him a little bit. Uh. He did

363
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: take thirty eight sacks and nineteen behind that that bears

364
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: offensive line a little bit. Yeah. That Steelers will not

365
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: lead the league in getting the ball out in the

366
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: quickest amount of time anymore. No, they won't. Uh, and

367
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: then I just I just look at those rushing stats. Um,

368
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: you know he had as a rookie one rushing yards.

369
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean he could go yeah. Uh. You

370
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: know every year after that it was a little bit less,

371
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: a little bit less, a little bit less. But you know,

372
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm so I'm sorry. That was theeen season when he

373
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: had hing yards. That was his Pro Bowl here. Um,

374
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: you know, so there's again a guy who ran. You know,

375
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: that year he threw for thirty eight hundred yards and

376
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: ran for another four hundred I'm sorry yards. The running

377
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: thing you ever two or thirty yards passing per game

378
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: and he and he gave you again thirty yards rushing

379
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: per game. Yeah. And again he was not in a

380
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: great situation. He was not great in a not great situation.

381
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: But I just think it's worth a risk. I mean,

382
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: when you weigh all the options of this year, I

383
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: very much believe this was the right path and it

384
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: costs you nothing. That's the thing is that you still

385
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: have your first round pick. I mean, you have all

386
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: least think you still have a ton of cap space.

387
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: I presume I don't think even forty million a year.

388
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, he did not you know. I mean, it's

389
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: so it really it's it's it's different than picking up

390
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: Haskins for nothing, but it's you know, he's obviously in

391
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: a much different situation. He's a presumed starter. It's a

392
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: bad example. But what you have invested in this situation

393
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: with possibly solving the problem is very worth it to me. Yeah.

394
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: I just see this as a low risk signing with

395
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: high potential upside. Yeah. And that's the beauty of that

396
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: group and that I think that was the right place

397
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: to go shopping. Whereas, if you know, if you were

398
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: giving up draft picks, let's go back to the DeShawn

399
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: Watson table game, if you gave up draft picks for

400
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson and players. Mhm, he still has a suspension

401
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: from the league hanging over his head. Oh, I think

402
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna get suspended yet, what if he gets suspended

403
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: for half of next year? Everybody's screaming, oh my loo,

404
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: what if the Browns get de Shawn Watson? Okay, well,

405
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: they better keep Keenum or they better have somebody available

406
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: that they can you can start for half a year

407
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: at least, if not a fourth season. Ben Roethlisberg got

408
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: six games for two two sexual assault accusations. Accusations right

409
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: exactly has twenty two of them. Yeah, something's coming down.

410
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: Like if he ends up in New Orleans, Taysom Hill

411
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: is in place. If if he ends up in Carolina,

412
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna go with Sam Donald on opening day. Philly

413
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: would either trade Hurts or Minshew in the deal, and

414
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: the other guy would be your starter, you know, like

415
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: Frankly Drew Lock would probably hold down the fort until

416
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: Watson got there, and the Steelers could do the same

417
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: with Rudolph. I mean, could you know you're if you

418
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: if you're trading for Watson, you're thinking about the next decade.

419
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: But you gotta pay him thirty five million dollars this year.

420
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna be and you got you know him thirty

421
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: seven next year and you have no picks and you

422
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: have no right, all right? I mean yeah, So if

423
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: he's Superman, which I think he kind of is, he'll

424
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: overcome a lot of those things. But you can't help

425
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: him like you can help Trabisky now. And neither one

426
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: of us is comparing Trabisky to watch, you know, I

427
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: mean everyone wants to watching Drosky and that's those are saying.

428
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: But in terms of team building. This is the approach

429
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: I would have taken. I mean said eight thousand times

430
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: on the show. This is this is a very Steeler

431
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: like move. You know, they just they they're gonna they're

432
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: gonna continue to build the roster. They're gonna take a

433
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: shot with this guy and see, you know, if he

434
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: can be again, reclaim what he was again, if he

435
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: if he could be Yeah, well he could be again.

436
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: He started uh his last season in Chicago and they

437
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: decided not to pick up his option. He started nine

438
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: games that year and a six and three record the Bears.

439
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: The Bears were not a good team in two Here's

440
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: what I you've often cited in the last twenty minutes

441
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: or so, his stats and his accomplishments as a Bear.

442
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: I'll bet my bottom dollar this Steeler coaching staff and

443
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: organization gets more out of him than the Bears did. Yeah,

444
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: I think we've all figured out now that Mattnegy is

445
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: more landing spots is important as quarterback, and this is

446
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: a very good landing spot. Where his where do the

447
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,239
Speaker 1: team he was the team that drafted him was not

448
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: a very good landing spot. It was He's a more

449
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: mature player Yeah, he's probably learned from the process, learned

450
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: from the everything had happened to him, absolute as opposed

451
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: to being a one year starter in North Carolina. Yeah,

452
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. When we come back, we'll

453
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: continue to talk free agency and everything that's happening here.

454
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: As the NFL's legal tampering period has begun. Wednesday will

455
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: be the start of the new league. Yere and free

456
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,200
