1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: At least.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: And we are back. This is our number two of

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network. I am

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Dale LOLLI he is the Matt Williamson. And we're doing

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: some ex Twitter questions here today. We got a ton

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: of them flooded. We were going to do a fantasy

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: football segment here, but because there are so many questions,

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: keep her rolling. Keep rolling with that fun too.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: Not all super football related either, which is fine.

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: Bird Ball asks. Have the Steelers ever carried four running

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: backs on a roster going into the season? Could Cordero

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: Patterson be used more as a wide receiver this year

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: unless as a running back? Love the drive. Yes, they've

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: carried I thought so. They've carried four running backs multiple

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: times over the years.

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 3: Not three in a fullback either, right, yeah, yeah.

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: Four running There were times would be four running backs

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: and a fullback.

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay in the day man say back.

23
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, teams too, they're more run oriented, those guys.

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: From what I remember, even like eighties nineties, it was

25
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: rare for a team to keep six receivers. Yeah, I

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 3: mean there wasn't as much, nearly as much eleven person Yeah,

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: Rocky and Franco were on the field together a high percentage.

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: I mean, so I don't think it's uncomm Now, it's uncommon,

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: but in recent and Steeler history over the decades, it's

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: not uncommon.

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Not uncommon at all.

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, in terms of the cord Aero Patterson stuff. As

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, here's a guy to keep an eye on.

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: In regards to that, they signed Max Hurlman out of

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: uh Notre Dame, Okay, and he listed as a receiver

37
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: undrafted guy. He's listed his running back number number thirty

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: four at the mini camp or training you know, the OTAs.

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: But they lined him up in the slot quite a bit. Really,

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: they used him as a weapon, and he's got some

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: of that ability to do those things.

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: I think they and Arthur Smith have kind of looked

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: for that guy. You know, Patterson has made his career

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: out of that. You know, is the receiver, is he

45
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: running back?

46
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: Is he neither? Is he both?

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: You know, I think there is value to that. So

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: you think Hurlman or someone like him could get carries

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: and run receiver routes. Yeah, okay, I mean if he

50
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: makes a team, that's going to be a big reason

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: why or you know, or if they have a guy

52
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 3: like that in the future. Frankly, I don't know what

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: the story is with Patterson at the moment, to be

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: frank I thought months ago he'd probably be let go

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: just because of his contract situation. They haven't needed the money.

56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: That hasn't happened. I don't know what is what the

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: plan is? There not a clue?

58
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they still have that Again, a lot of times,

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers don't make a move until they have to

60
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: make a movie.

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and they haven't had to right And Frankly,

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: if they signed Watt in the next five minutes, that's

63
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: not They're not gonna need the cap space this year

64
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: to do that.

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: He's an open caps yeah problem. Patterson does give them

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: a little different look in terms of what he brings

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: to the table as opposed to say, Kenneth game Will.

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: He's a much bigger body, much bigger body.

69
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: You see him in person, you're kind of shocked, especially

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: if you only just kind of know his history, Like

71
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: if you go watch his highlight tape of University of Tennessee,

72
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: as a first round pick. It's unbelievably dynamics. One of

73
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: the best highlight tapes you'll ever see. Position was always

74
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: a question coming out, and he ran a weird routree there.

75
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: But when he became a Steeler and I saw him

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: in person, I didn't expect I knew it was big,

77
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: but I didn't expect him to be that big. I

78
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: mean he is a strapping fellaw.

79
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a big dude.

80
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: So he's a lot different than gain Well just physically. Yeah.

81
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: Ben Cohen asked, could you compare the two thousand and

82
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: three roster to the twenty twenty twenty twenty five roster

83
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: in terms of the nest What did Ben Landon compared

84
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty six quarterback?

85
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: I don't know that You're so much better with this

86
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: kind of history than me too. Would you'd have to

87
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: refresh me?

88
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: I know, it's like I'm going back to call up

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: to twenty. Yeah, the three roster now, so.

90
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: I mean Bettis was in place, you had. Bettis was

91
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: a run first team it was you.

92
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: Also had on that offense ahead of what a true

93
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: fullback in Dankrider, Okay, Plexico burs Hines Ward were two

94
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: starting receivers.

95
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: That's pretty good, right.

96
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: Jeremy Toman was your starting tight end. Your offensive line.

97
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: Was Randal l on that team as a third receiver.

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: Uh not yet, Okay, you had Fanica, Keedrick Vincent, Jeff

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: Harding's Kendall Simmons. Right tackle was Oliver Ross.

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: So my impressions not great, but your interior, I would

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: say guard guard had to be as good as a

102
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: in the league. Yeah, tackles had to be at the

103
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: bottom of the bottom of.

104
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: Now, remember in three Fanica played a lot of left tackle,

105
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: not by design, but had to. Okay, you get the

106
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: best five on the field, Yeah, which.

107
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: He probably still was better than their left tackles, but

108
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: then you're compromised at two spots. So this has been

109
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: true basically through Steeler history. But even then there was

110
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: a shortage in the league of true offensive tackles. Yeah,

111
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: and maybe not even a shortage as much as there

112
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: is now. But all the great ones go quick, you know,

113
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: like the Hall of Fame tackles of that era, Ogden,

114
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: Walter Jones, Bisselli Pace. They're all like top five picks

115
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: and they hardly ever busted. Well Seeos never picked in

116
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: the top five. You know, so you get Fanica or

117
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: Simmons in the first round because they're guards, right, and

118
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: you know the line was constructed different. You also were

119
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: a heavy interior run team from what I mean obviously

120
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: with Jerome, but I think if I'm sure the percentages

121
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: bear that out as well, it's a pretty good nest.

122
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: Pretty good nest.

123
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: I mean you got three big time skill guys and

124
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 3: three big time linemen basically.

125
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, you also had on that team, not just Bettest

126
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: and a defense obviously they had a defensive place too. Yeah,

127
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: you also had guys. Your other running backs were Amos Away,

128
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: Ron Haynes, we were both. Yeah.

129
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Capable was a change of pace, dynamic guy there

130
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: for a while.

131
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: You rather will Randa Well was on the three team. Okay,

132
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: so you had Ward.

133
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: That had to be one of the best receiver rooms

134
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: in the league. Yeah, and one of the best running

135
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: back rooms in the league.

136
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: Now, the other guy is Lee May's Chris Doring. We're

137
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: just guys, yeah, but that's true. If you look pull

138
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: up any year, who's your fourth and fifth receiver. Yeah,

139
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: Marvel Smith was on that team, but was hurt a

140
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: lot of that year. When you know, Fourward came around.

141
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: He's back, okay, and he was a high end tackle. Yeah.

142
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: He was one of their best tackles of that generation.

143
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: For sure. Hardings was one of the best centers. He

144
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: absolutely was. Yeah.

145
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: It's funny how he's not remembered that way because he's

146
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: not dirt or Webby. Yeah, you know, but he was

147
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: a top five.

148
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: Guy defensively though.

149
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: This is where maybe the des as good as I remember.

150
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Smith, Casey Hampton, Chemo Von o'hoffen. Yeah, okay, Jason

151
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: Gilden and Joey Porter. Is your outside backers, James Ferrier,

152
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: Kendrell Bell is your inside backers.

153
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great front seven.

154
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: Chad Scott Dwayne Washington were the two outside cornerbacks. Would

155
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: you say that's an average pairing? Yeah for the time. Okay.

156
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: Troy Polamalo was a rookie and O. Three didn't really

157
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: start until.

158
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: Four, so he was drafted the year before Ben.

159
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

160
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

161
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: The safeties and No. Three were Mike Logan and Brent Alexander.

162
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: The safeties became Troy Polamalo and Chris Hope.

163
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah quickly, Yeah, gotcha.

164
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was a really solid defense.

165
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: So as was the case or a lot of that era.

166
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: Front seven is as good as any in the league

167
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: and really hard to run against. And you got edge

168
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: pass rushers secondary. Their corners were kind of like their tackles.

169
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: That's what it's kind of the way Dick Lebow wanted it.

170
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: Dick Cleobo won in big cornerbacks that can tackle, who

171
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: could just come up and tackle the catch.

172
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: And they almost took one. If you go back and

173
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: look at their history back then, they consistently took one

174
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: in like the fourth or fifth round. And you hit

175
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: on an ike tailor you miss on a bunch.

176
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: But so what Scott was one?

177
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: He was a one. Yeah, And there's some d On

178
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 3: figures and there's some ones in there, but not as

179
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: much as most teams because they didn't ask a.

180
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: Ton of them.

181
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: You know. Like I remember being on the radio when

182
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: I was early to the radio, I would say things like, well,

183
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: there's a salary cap. Every team cuts corner somewhere somewhere.

184
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: The Steelers cut corner a corner, you know, And they.

185
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: Kind of did back then because they had such a

186
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: pass run pass rush. Yeah, And frankly, that's why you're

187
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: going to stop the run.

188
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 3: You're gonna stop the run, get them in third and

189
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: long Blitzburg. All that stuff was a different way of

190
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 3: playing defense. Now, like every defense, there's a slight weakness

191
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: to it as well. The nickel and dimers, the Brady's

192
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: and Mannings could pick on those corners, get them out quick.

193
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: You know.

194
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: You couldn't come down and play press man like Champ

195
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: Bailey at the time or anything like that. But you

196
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: have to cut corner somewhere.

197
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: No, it was.

198
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: It's a pretty good nest on all day.

199
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty good nest in terms of how it compares

200
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: what they have now. I don't want to say the

201
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: defense is comparable, but he is. Yeah, I mean, especially

202
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: pre Troy, it's pretty comparable. Yeah.

203
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: I mean I think being top five for either one

204
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 3: of those defenses should be in the cards or very

205
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: possible without a doubt. Yeah. And defense has changed so

206
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: much too. Defending the runs not as important. Yeah, but

207
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: Hampton and Ferrier and I mean, no one's romped the

208
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: middle of that group. So is Keesel not there yet?

209
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: Keesl was uh, I.

210
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: Mean he was a six round pick, so I mean

211
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 3: he may not have.

212
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Keesel was not there yet.

213
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I know Van Olhoffen played a little nose here

214
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: and there too, kind of like a band.

215
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: When he first start, when he first signed from from Cincinnati,

216
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: he was a nose for a year and then they

217
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: drafted Hampton, and they drafted Hamton realized he wasn't Joel

218
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Steed or Hampton you know, different, he'd be a nose

219
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: probably on this defense. Yeah.

220
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: Times have change.

221
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really good nest though. He had eight

222
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: sacks and three wow. Okay, so he could rush the passer, slayed.

223
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: A defense in a running game. Oh, by the way,

224
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 3: they had two really good receivers too.

225
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now I think you're building the offensive line. I'll

226
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: take that nest over this to be Yeah, hopefully with

227
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: that offensive line and again that offensive Keeger Vincent and

228
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: Oliver Ross. Yeah, started a bunch of games that year

229
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: and tight ends very average. I don't know that you

230
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: you don't have a keycher no offense to those two guys, Kecher,

231
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: Vincent or Oliver Ross. I don't believe you have one

232
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: of those guys starting on this line right.

233
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: Fortunately for the Steelers, they were able to draft two

234
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: tackles in the middle of the first round, not those

235
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: you know, the tackle conversations had about them and I

236
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 3: don't know any of them are gonna be og dinner Biselli.

237
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: Rarx Smith was a two.

238
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a high pick for them at the time.

239
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: But to answer the question, Ben went to a really

240
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: good nest. Yeah, a very good nest, very good net. Yeah,

241
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: established coach, you know all that stuff too, and didn't

242
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 3: ask a ton of them in year one either. Yeah,

243
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: but I think this one's trending the right direction in

244
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: that direction. Yeah, I would love to see first and Ward.

245
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably as we sit here, you're still a

246
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: receiver short, but you better tight.

247
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: End, better tight end. Yeah, the line is more upside.

248
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: But Alan Fan is the whole fame.

249
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: Harding's wasp. He was a Pro Bowl player.

250
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: Him and Fraser might be a wash. Yeah. Okay, it's

251
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: a pretty good group. Jerome is no slouch.

252
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: J Marsh says, glad you guys are back at it.

253
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: Question is what type of target do you want player

254
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: wise to catch? A position player that can get open,

255
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: a tall, go get it guy, or almost an almost

256
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: slot who can play outside that is shifty but not

257
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: so much a positional down player.

258
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: He's asking like, what type of wide out they could pursue. Yeah,

259
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: I think number two, because I definitely think Austin is

260
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 3: a slot that can play outside. I think Wilson's almost

261
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know how much outside. I

262
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 3: need to see it first from him, but he's definitely

263
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: slot mostly, if not slot only. So I'm definitely not

264
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: looking for anyone their size right first of all, that

265
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: you gotta be riding this tall to ride to Thunderbolt

266
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: at least, and that's probably five ten, one hundred and

267
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: ninety five or bigger, you know, like I don't need

268
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: any more little guys. And back to the Rogers conversation

269
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 3: in our one, I think you want more of a

270
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 3: route runner than a raw, big, strong, fast guy.

271
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, run straight line guy.

272
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 3: That's just a big play dude. And I'm not implying

273
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: that's Metcalf because Metcalf's more than that, or that you

274
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: have that part covered. But I just think a better

275
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 3: Robert Woods, you know what I mean, more of a

276
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: precise route runner type.

277
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: Would Alan Lazard fill that role for you.

278
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: Somewhat. So I've said this before too, like Gave Davis

279
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: and Alan Lazard are very different stylistically. Gave Davis is

280
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: more of the run fastest straight line, pretty physical. Lazard's

281
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: more of a technician, but he's got good size too.

282
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: And and I do think Lazard is an underrated player.

283
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: He's off in the punchline. Oh he's Aaron Rodgers' buddy.

284
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: No, he's good.

285
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: I mean he's good. That both those guys are good,

286
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: and they're different styles. I probably would prefer Lazard to

287
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: Davis because of those reasons and the familiarity, but I

288
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: put them also, I lump them together for this reason

289
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: that that's about no offense to the two of them.

290
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: The worst I would accept at that position, you know

291
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like, I think that's the best you could.

292
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: They might be a number two, Yeah you know, I

293
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: mean both would be helpful. You would have killed for

294
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: one of them last year, even without Rogers at times.

295
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: But I would also I kind of feel like if

296
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: I was in Omar's shoes right now, in the organization's shoes,

297
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: I know I can that's my fallback plan. But if

298
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: I can land a bigger fish, I'm gonna try to

299
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: land a bigger fish. Yeah, sure, you know what I mean.

300
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: But I can settle for that, and I know it

301
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: makes me better. But I'd like to do like even

302
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: if they traded for Lazard today or if they signed

303
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: Gabe Davis today, I'm not sure I would be done.

304
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 3: I would still listen, But all of a sudden, the

305
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: room gets really crowded.

306
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Paul asks rewind the second night of the

307
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three NFL Draft. The Steelers are on the

308
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: board at thirty two. There's a debate between Joey Porter

309
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: Junior or Brian Branch In hindsight, which would you choose?

310
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: Now that's interesting.

311
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: You all know our love of Brian Branch.

312
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: I say, anyone even listened to when they were on

313
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: the clock had this conversations, Right.

314
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm still taking Joey Porter Jr.

315
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: So we adored Branch. We considered them in the first

316
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: round at Knox quite a con Yes, yes, I remember vividly.

317
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: And this is not any slight on any other Pittsburgh

318
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: media people that we go on the air with throwing

319
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: the draft. Yeah, I love those dudes are great, But

320
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: you and I do this more together than they do.

321
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: And frankly, I think we get deeper into the draft

322
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: than they do. So being on the air with I

323
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: don't even know who was with Steelers are on the

324
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: clock and they've been on the clock for twenty four hours,

325
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: and Joey Porter's kid is on the clock at a

326
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: need position. I mean it's a a mel Or Todd

327
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: or whoever.

328
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: Be like.

329
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: That's a great pick at the time, and I couldn't

330
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: have agreed more, but I do remember many times. So, Mad,

331
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 3: is there anyone you'd consider here? Right?

332
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: And I'm Branch.

333
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: I would take Branch my second choice here. I would

334
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: take Branch. I think he's a special player. But this

335
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 3: is hindsight, you know, right, That's basically he's basically asking,

336
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: would you trade Porter for Branch? And I still think

337
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: the answers no, although I will say Branch to me

338
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: at this minute is better at what he does than

339
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 3: Porter is.

340
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: At what he does. But it's also more common.

341
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean, Like Bemie Bishop's basically

342
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: a replacement level player at this stage of his career.

343
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: But I'd much rather have a replacement player level player

344
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: at the slot than an outside corner.

345
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: Last year. Last year, for example, you could have taken

346
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: Cooper de Jen and been comfortable to Brian Branch.

347
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: Those two, to me are the two you want. Yeah,

348
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: I mean they're the only two I'd even consider trading

349
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: a Porter for because they're great and they give you

350
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: a lot of versatility and they can do some things

351
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: outside with those guys.

352
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: Again, there are a lot of those guys available. Yeah,

353
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: Joey Porter Jr. I can get the B minus version

354
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: of those guys. Yeah, much easier than I get the

355
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: B minus version of a number one corner. Porter's also

356
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: like six', Four like you Beat Joey Porter. JR i

357
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: remember he came in after he was. Drafted he drove down.

358
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: The street basically like you, know he's big and you

359
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: see his combine, numbers but you shake his hands and

360
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 3: you see his length and his arms and it's like

361
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: this dude's.

362
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: Rare, yeah he can reach around this body and scratch

363
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: his nose right.

364
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: Right it's just there aren't many of them on the.

365
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: Planet branch is a great football, player. THOUGH i like

366
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: both of. Them, yeah, YEAH i could easily make the.

367
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: Case But i'd rather be in the market for a

368
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: slot than a six' four outside guy without.

369
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: A DOUBT uh td says any truth To The jalen

370
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: ramsey rumors That the steelers are considering a trade and

371
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: Will the STEELERS pay tj More than Cleveland Did. MILES

372
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: garrett I think watts contract will be Less. THAN garrett's

373
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: i think right now the hold up is the probably

374
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: the guaranteed money part.

375
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: OF me i think it'll be in, the ballpark but.

376
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 3: SLIGHTLY less i don't think it needs to. BE more

377
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: i would. Be, SHOCKED yeah i would. UNDERSTAND it i

378
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: mean that's kind of how the arms. Race works, give

379
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 3: Me Does jamar? Chase say give me whoever the most

380
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: highest paid receiver is plus? ONE dollar, I mean i

381
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: know that's how, people WORK and i wouldn't EVER besmudge

382
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: tj for doing.

383
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: Exactly that you can finangle that contract wording to make

384
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: a low calvery want however.

385
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: You WANT but I thought garrett was a slight overpay

386
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: because they were he was demanding, a trade they, were

387
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: desperate blah. Blah BLAH now I think parsons could come

388
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 3: in the meantime more.

389
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: Than that he should get.

390
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: The, most yeah if they're all, equal players he's, the

391
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: youngest he should get. The most he is the most value.

392
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 3: Going FORWARD but I think tj will make ninety five

393
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: percent Of the. Garrett contract As, for ramsey the word

394
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: that you use all, the time it's. A rumor i

395
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: don't know if there's any truth. OR not i would be.

396
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: VERY interested i just don't know how they can. Afford

397
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: it it's a big. CONTRACTUAL issue i think that's the

398
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 3: reason he's still. A, dolphin yeah is hardly anyone has a.

399
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 3: Cap space he can't really. Renegotiate it they would have

400
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 3: to move. Things around but all that's a loot conversation.

401
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 3: We had ramsey does that stuff. Extremely well if you,

402
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 3: do that you CAN'T Pay. TJ wat i don't know.

403
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 3: ABOUT that i don't think. YOU can i have not studied.

404
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: THE numbers i know he's like twenty one million guaranteed

405
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: or Something, for, ramsey right and they're gonna PAY what,

406
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 3: I mean i think that's a. Foregone conclusion but couldn't

407
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 3: you renegotiate cam Or cut Calder?

408
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: Out patterson and if you do KNOW what, i mean

409
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: if you make a trade For A, jalen ramsey you're

410
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: completely out of the wide, receiver market and wide receiver

411
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: is a bigger need.

412
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 3: IT is i just don't know if. That's true i'd

413
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 3: have to study. It more i'm not saying you're right,

414
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: or wrong.

415
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: Just looking at what they have in cap space and

416
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: what they want to go into, the seat right having in,

417
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 1: cap space you don't have the money to add a

418
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: twenty one million, dollar Player.

419
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: And i'm not sure any team does as part of

420
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: the thicky For, the dolphins which maybe he's maybe everyone

421
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: the planet, knows that and he's gonna get CUT because

422
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 3: i don't think he'll Be a dolphin. This year like

423
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: they didn'tven ask him to come a, mini camp, you

424
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: know things, like that and maybe that's what Other teams i've.

425
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: Seen things he wants to play For A west. COAST

426
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: team i just saw that.

427
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: This week but. WHO knows, i mean. That's, surprised, fine yeah,

428
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: Right right i'd be very interested in. THE player i

429
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 3: don't know how the finances. Would work and the other

430
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: thing about, IT is i don't know how they could restructure,

431
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: current contracts, you know to get A receiver tj and.

432
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: Him all, you know it can't. ALL happen i. Just

433
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: can't there's just too.

434
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: Much, THERE yeah i don't know. THAT part i. DON'T

435
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: know i, Believe you but could you tear up or

436
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: could you restructure? Two CONTRACTS and tj number is gonna

437
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: be smaller this year than.

438
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: It, is now presumably unless you have a bunch of.

439
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: Guaranteed money oh she's gonna which she's going to a

440
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: Lot of that changes things a. Little.

441
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: Bit, Yeah Yeah so, paul asked.

442
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: Do you think the next uh playing the next to

443
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: A high iq player like a proven Vet And alec

444
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: Isaac say malu will be noticeably Beneficial To? BRODERCK jones.

445
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 3: I do i think it's a super beneficial at, any

446
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: position two linebackers, playing together playing Next To, cam hayward

447
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: which isn't the most, cerebral position having an unbelievably smart.

448
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: Veteran center but the ONE thing i would not be

449
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: as sure about is does It help broderick so much

450
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 3: more being one position Away from isaac as opposed to three.

451
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 3: Positions AWAY maybe i. THINK so, I mean i think

452
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: you when you're in, your stance when you're in, the

453
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: huddle IA is i can tell, you anything.

454
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: YOU know i think what got lost on people last

455
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: year is just how young they were from the center,

456
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: Right right.

457
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: Because even if, you like if you put yourself and

458
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: see them all loose, face mask he can't see you

459
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: in the play what's going on the? Other, side yes

460
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: and maybe he knows a stunter comes his way.

461
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: Or whatever but he like he can help identify some of.

462
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: That stuff he can. Tap him, he, look yeah watch

463
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: that guy coming on the bullets on.

464
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: THE outside, i mean he's not gonna be like your

465
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: hands were too low on that play, RIGHT now i

466
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: got my own things or something.

467
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: Like that he's got to worry about his. Own position

00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: Also do you draft things? Any different That's what i'm sitting.

516
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 3: THERE thinking, i mean eighteen team.

517
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: League teams makes? IT different.

518
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,760

522
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 3: MEAN so i guess there's some difference in drafting just

523
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: because of. Position scarcity but you still have to win, week,

524

00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 3: implying But anytime i've done a fantasy league, with, like

535

Speaker 3: know The people. I'm with it becomes my.

539
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: Last style yet it's not.

540
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,359

541
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: or whatever but then by WEEK.

542
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Two i don't care. About, it, yeah yeah it's not.

543
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: Much fun You like crabs another. Longtime listeners they just

544
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: made seventy one percent of their field goals. Last, year

545
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: Well the steelers made ninety. THREE percent i think it's

546
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: not being talked about enough about How adding rogers to

547
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: his team in conjunction with how big of a Weapon

548
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: bas Is helps. ROGERS tremendously a.

549
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 3: Great, point yeah it's a. Great point it's a great

550
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 3: point for. ANY team, i mean you make twenty percent

551
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: more of your kicks over the course of. Seventeen.

552
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: Games skeins the difference between taking, the, reservation yes and

553
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: holding the reservations.

554
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 3: Important part not, TO mention i can't speak for the

555
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: numerous head coaches they had last Year In, new york

556
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 3: but you're much less likely to even, attempt, one right

557
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 3: you KNOW what, I, MEAN like i don't trust this guy.

558
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: At all forty.

559
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: Five, yards yeah it's it's fourth, And three i'm going.

560
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: For it BUT if I, HAD baz. I wouldn't or

561
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: if it's forty eight yarder and there's a, little, wind

562
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: bass you're, out, There dude i'm not even, trying you,

563
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 3: you know so.

564
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: It maybe it affects how you play, the game. NO question,

565
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: i mean it's a justin. De shocker let's say it's

566
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: third and twelve at the forty, two.

567
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: Well maybe. Called, draw yeah, you know get you in a, field,

568
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: goal right you're happy, with it and it's money in

569
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: The back.

570
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,239
Speaker 1: My field goal. KICKER stinks i gotta throw the ball by.

571
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: The, Sticks yeah because not, to mention as we talk

572
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: about all, THE time i look at field goals like,

573
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: a turnover especially if it's a. Far one this guy

574
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: not only if he misses it cost me, three Points

575
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 3: but i'm giving him the ball, like, MIDFIET right i.

576
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: Mean it's seven. Yards back do you play?

577
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 3: The? Game yeah and it Definitely a rogers is so

578
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: cerebral and. Game manager and by, GAME manager i mean

579
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: it's an. Ultimate compliment people take that wrong with et

580
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: man is a? Game MANAGER do i check it down

581
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: here OR do? I not, you, know like just it's

582
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: such a safety blanket having a, Great, kick.

583
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah knowing that you've got three in your. Hip, pocket

584
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: yeah if you just check, it, down yeah as, opposed,

585
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: to well our guy's probably not going to make a

586
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: fifty three yard, field, Goal RIGHT so i better go for.

587
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: The Sticks and.

588
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure the, offense coordinator, head Coach and rogers ear

589
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 3: if they even need To, Be, YEAH hey.

590
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: I don't.

591
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: I don't i don't want to have to pull UP

592
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: to i don't want to kicker or trot not here and,

593
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: fourth down so we got to get more. Than three

594
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 3: so maybe he throws a pick that he, should know

595
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: right or. Whatever too and along, Those lines WES and

596
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 3: i had a. Long. Conversation cheater red zone offense has

597
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: been a problem For, the steelers and last year it

598
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: was near the ball in the league if you Didn't,

599
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 3: have bos could you imagine you KNOW what, I mean

600
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: that's just another instance of how important. That IS and

601
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: i really believe even if, it's weightman because it was true.

602
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: Last year but if They, have johnston it's the version

603
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: we saw. Pre injury they're kicking specialists will be an. A.

604
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: PLUS yeah, i mean that's a lot of hidden yardage

605
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: and a lot of Things in tomlin's head as a,

606
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: game manager they're.

607
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Just different you can play the. Game differently It's what

608
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: harbaugh had For having baltimore for over.

609
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 3: A decade it's a, huge, Advantage. RIGHT yeah i mean

610
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: THAT'S why I think tucker Is a Hall of famer

611
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 3: because he influences a game even when he's not, out there,

612
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: you Know and bos does.

613
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: Not too imagine making seventy three percent of your kick a,

614
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: year though right in this day, and age.

615
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: That's horrendous.

616
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: That's. Rough YEAH T ma mac two fifty, six says

617
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: is it time to worry about not getting receiving threat? Number?

618
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: TWO yet i got flashbacks last year Where the steelers

619
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: did a lot of talking and not a lot. Of

620
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,240

644
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: would you consider using next year's collection? Of picks what

645
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: moves do you consider uh to round out? This team

646
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: glad you're feeling a. BETTER deal i, Appreciate, That, NATE

647
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: well i think we've talked about some. OF that i

648
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: think you're, you know you have, twelve picks and they're

649
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: not gonna make. Twelve picks they're not going to make.

650
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: Twelve picks some of those picks will, be used some

651
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: of them will be used potentially to move up in the. First,

652
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: round right you're probably talking your first and, your second

653
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: and maybe one of. Those, threes yeah, in addition but

654
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: probably the next.

655
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: Year's one so this is a crystal, ball thing and

656
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 3: who the, Heck KNOWS but i definitely think that winning

657
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: the comp pick game won't be in play this offseason

658
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: because you've got a lot. Of capspace you have a

659
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: lot of PICKS that i think you might go outside in.

660
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 3: Free agency you might go outside the organization a player

661
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 3: or two more than usual to find a starter or

662
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: a nickel or a third receiver so that you don't

663
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 3: go into the draft with massive non, quarterback, Right right

664
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 3: but all those picks as we talk about all. The

665
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: time if you have five six, round picks that's not

666
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: gonna help you move up in the.

667
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: First row that's just those are into. The roster that's

668
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 1: where you take the Extra OFFENSIVE lineman's.

669
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: I was going, to say is give me premium positions

670
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 3: in the mid rounds that are, projects extralignement that type.

671
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 3: Of thing, you know a cornerback that you're gonna, Take,

672
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 3: it yeah a guy with trade size.

673
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: Speed, traits.

674
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 3: YEAH absolutely i think there's a lot of that kind.

675
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 3: Of stuff and maybe a wide receiver that's a year

676
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: away or something, like that or another.

677
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: Running.

678
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 3: Back YEAH and i definitely think if the, day comes

679
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 3: let's say two of those picks have been moved by

680
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 3: the day that the draft kicks off Here, in pittsburgh

681
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 3: you're gonna end up with twenty twenty. Seven picks you

682
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 3: may package a couple of, things up or here's a

683
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 3: fourth from this draft because we have three of them

684
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 3: for a third, next year, you know because you're going

685
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: to be light because you probably won't have that, first

686
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 3: right you KNOW what. I mean so those picks are

687
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 3: great collateral to make up for your for what, you

688
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 3: lost for what you lost to hopefully get the next

689
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: rothelspergerback because there's a real good chance that the two

690
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, seven draft you don't have, a, first right

691
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 3: but you might have extra day. To, stuff yeah you

692
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 3: know from conegelin. A, round yeah.

693
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: That's all that's all part.

694
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 3: Of it SO rad i love the idea of taking

695
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 3: an extra. Offensive, line yeah, you Know take grant Out

696
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 3: of William and mary even if he's, you know a.

697
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: Year away, Good, Question dan, sinceerry asks why does it

698
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 1: seem the quarterbacks Such As mason rudolph And will howard

699
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: get pigeonholed into a belief that they cannot be. A

700
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: starter it seems that there's as if there's, a window

701
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: or if their window is much smaller than say. First, rounders, well, yeah.

702
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah because this world's, not fair or this world. Is

703
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 3: Fair josh allen has more traits than, those guys so

704
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: he goes in the, first, ROUND right, I Mean josh

705
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 3: allen needs a ton of work coming Out. Of Wyoming,

706
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: anthony richardson they don't, all hit, you know but they're, more,

707
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 3: GIFTED right, i mean it's simply, you know that's what

708
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 3: it comes. Down to why is a pitcher that throws.

709
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 3: A hundred i don't know anything, about baseball but if

710
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: he throws, A hundred i bet he's giving more opportunitiess

711
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: the guy that. Throws, ninety yeah. That's it or if you're, a,

712
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: bigger stronger faster you, All right i'm, seven foot there's

713
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 3: a good chance here going in. The, League yeah i'm

714
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 3: giving a much better chance than a guy who's six. Foot. Exactly,

715
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: exactly yeah. THAT'S it, i mean, especially now more so

716
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 3: even the quarterback than ever is, trade straights trade. Straight,

717

Speaker 1: The least brad prenis another longtime listener to.

739
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 3: THE show a lot of familiar, Names, here, yeah.

740
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, he Asked Is keanu benton the real story

741
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: of the defensive line? This year if you want To

742
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: manage cam snaps And keep harmon from hitting the, rookie

743
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: wall then doesn't need to be getting eighty percent. Of

744
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: snaps what's a good snap Percentage for Cam. And harmon

745
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: i'm not so Worried about harmon hitting the rookie wall because.

746
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 3: He's not gonna be one hundred percent.

747
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: Now anything there's a difference, between say these offensive linemen

748
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: out there playing every snap of. Every game that's a

749
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: much different world and a guy playing Let's say harmon

750
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: plays fifty five percent of.

751
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 3: The snaps he's in, week one it's, forty, weeks, yeah twelve.

752
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: It's sixty that's much much more manageable because he can

753
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 3: always just, tap out, you know or only playing third

754
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 3: downs this game or whatever to especially because you have

755
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 3: a lot of. Depth, there yeah let Me put lowry in.

756
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 3: Or whatever.

757
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: YOU know i believe cam last year was it about

758
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: seventy three percent of. THE snaps i.

759
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 3: Would always take, the under, you know like that's less

760
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 3: than the. YEAR before i think next this upcoming year

761
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 3: will be less. Than that if he comes back a year,

762
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 3: after that it'll probably be less. Than, that ideally he's

763
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 3: hard to take. Off field it's hard to get him off.

764
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: The field it's hard to get him off. THE field

765
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: i Don't address benton real, quick BECAUSE as i, ALWAYS

766
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: do i listen to a lot of, national podcasts and

767
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 3: a lot of them have Said man steeters kind of

768
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 3: a little Bit disappointing benton didn't take a big step

769
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 3: forward in. YEAR two i don't see it, at, ALL right,

770
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: i mean just because he doesn't have double. DIGIT sacks

771
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 3: i think that's just kind of box score looking at.

772
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 3: SACKS stuff i think they're very encouraged, with him and to,

773
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 3: THIS point i definitely think his snap count does. Go

774
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: up but the offseason as we always say teams don't

775
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 3: lie to you with. THEIR acquisitions i think they want

776
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 3: to use a lot of. Bodies, THERE yeah I mean

777
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 3: i think The logan Lee's and lowry's.

778
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: Or will be inning eaters, for you, you know maybe a little.

779
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 3: More so not as reliant on just, the, stars RIGHT

780
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: because I want benton And, especially cam but also the

781
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 3: first round pick to be super fresh on third, and

782
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 3: eight you KNOW what i mean later.

783
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: THIS season i don't want those guys being tapped.

784
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 3: OUT right i need them fresh for. THE playoffs i need,

785
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 3: them fresh which is almost impossible to play the three

786
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: game stretch Against the Eagles and Chiefs, and ravens which

787
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 3: was impossible to keep, them fresh you KNOW what. I

788
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: mean but when the going, GETS tough i need.

789
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: Them.

790
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 3: There YEAH so i think they're Gonna have they're gonna be,

791
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 3: very conscious Especially in September. And october let's maybe dress

792
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 3: seven and use them. All, some yeah use them, all

793
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 3: some especially in.

794
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: The heat and, you, Know right ason asks this year

795
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: is fairly. Fairly obvious the defensive line was a Position

796
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: the steelers needed most going into. The draft without, saying

797
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: quarterback what position do you Think the steelers will be

798
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: the most in the market for next. Off season my

799
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: yes is corner considering SLAYS h i would agree.

800
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 3: With, that yeah it's hard to argue with. That one

801
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 3: certainly the wide receivers on the tip of. My tongue

802
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 3: but if they get somebody that's more than a one, year, Deal, possibly, yeah.

803
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: Offensively you don't have to Replace. Sam.

804
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 3: OLUO potentially i was gonna Say saam Alu and sleigh

805
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 3: are probably your two starters that are least likely to

806
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: be back due, to age or if, they are it's

807
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 3: on a one year deal and you better find a

808
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 3: second round pick. REPLACEMENT plan i hope it's not, offensive,

809
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 3: TACKLE right i don't think it. WILL be i don't

810
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 3: think it would be round one total. Hole, there yeah

811
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: other than that receiver. Guard, corner, yeah yeah AND.

812
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: That's i think. That's Right brad preniss asked. Another question

813
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: my question is whether we know who will Be Joining

814
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: rob king in the booth for the radio broadcast and

815

00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 3: I have.

818
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: No idea We don't we don't know that, official nothing

819
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: nothing is Beneficial and.

820
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 3: Wolf will be, greatly missed but there will be out

821
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 3: some sort of placement plan, in Place and i'm.

822
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: Sure that they've worked on or already have. IN place i.

823
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: Don't know they don't consult us on. These, things yeah

824
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: it was actually thinking a Lot about wolf over, the

825
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: weekend just about how much. He's, MISSED yea.

826
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 3: I Do a monday night show. WITH him i don't

827
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 3: know who the replacement will be. For That with rob

828
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: obviously he had, a huge huge footprint in print that

829
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 3: it will be tough.

830
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: To replace but there will be people on. The. Air

831
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: Ye fred, corner says what are the realistic stat Expectations

832
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 1: For aaron rodgers If the steelers maintain a heavy? Run

833
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: offense love listening to, you guys listening to, Your show

834
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: thank you for what. You, do well we. APPRECIATE that.

835
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 3: I would think interceptions will. GO down i don't.

836
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: Think, SO.

837
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 3: Sacks, i know will go down from What the steelers took. Last, year,

838
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah that i'll bet EVERY cent. I have but Even

839
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 3: his jets interception numbers were a. Little inflated they also

840
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 3: ran the ball the fewest times in.

841
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: The, league yeah how?

842
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 3: Many touchdowns how?

843
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: MANY yards i think he can approach the what twenty

844
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns that? He, had Yeah and i'd say thirty,

845
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: thirty seven thirty eight. Hundred, YARDS yeah.

846
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 3: I think those. Are, REASONABLE yeah i think.

847
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: That's.

848
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: REASONABLE yeah I mean i think your running back catches

849
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 3: are going to. GO up i think your middle of

850
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 3: the field catches will. GO up i think you'll be

851
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 3: as efficient on the outside. Deep balls he was actually

852
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 3: better at that Than. Even WILSON but i don't think

853
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot of games he's throwing it. Forty, times,

854
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 3: no yeah you don't.

855
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: Want them if you're throwing it, forty times you're. PROBABLY losing, i.

856
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 3: Say your defense probably isn't doing. His, job, yeah right

857
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 3: and Maybe a burrow game here and there you're getting

858
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 3: in one of those crazy situations because that's How the

859
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 3: bengals have, to.

860
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: Play.

861
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 3: RIGHT yeah I mean i don't think the volume is

862
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 3: going to, Be, GREAT like i don't think.

863
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: You want them. For, fantasy no maybe he's your backup, all, right, right,

864
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: Right leagues, but yeah he ask what would you Guys

865
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: predict TJ's new contract will look like in what his

866
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: cap percentage.

867
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 3: WILL be i bet his cap percentage is lower than it.

868
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 3: IS now i think it will be similar. But, lower

869
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 3: yeah but it'll be a bunch. BIGGER number, i mean

870
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 3: he'll be making. More money that's what.

871
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: PEOPLE don't i think people have to think of it.

872
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: That way they just well if they just look at

873
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: the total number, and, say oh he can't, pay, that

874
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: right it's about the. Cap percentage the cap has gone

875
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: up since he signed his last. Deal massively it's gone

876
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: up like sixty. Million, dollars, YEAH yeah i mean how much.

877
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 3: Percentage is it's.

878
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: Probably going to go up another twenty million dollars.

879
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 3: NEXT Year dk metcalf's the. Best example people don't realize

880
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 3: this because he Was in seattle when he signed his.

881
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 3: First contract big contract was for a higher percentage Than

882
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 3: the steelers gave him, just, Now, right yeah he's worth

883
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 3: slightly less because he has a couple more years of tread. Office,

884
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 3: tires probably as is the CASE, with tj he is

885
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 3: less football ahead of him when he signs. This CONTRACT

886
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 3: so i don't know what the numbers, will BE but

887
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: i think it'll be less THAN, forty apr a big

888
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: old bonus and slightly less cap percentage than the one

889
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 3: he signed a couple of.

890
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: Years.

891
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 3: Ago.

892
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah Yeah terry shipman asks If the steelers finished comparable

893
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: to last year with, your position which is twenty. Twenty

894
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: issue what is a trade up to the top five going?

895
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: To cost top five. Is tough top five is.

896
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 3: Very difficult it's too early to talk about next, year's,

897
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 3: quarterbacks right and we've said a million gazillion times that

898
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 3: is so subject. To change but as it, stands now

899
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 3: in The stuff i've read and The researcher, I'VE done

900
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 3: i think next year's class could be similar To The knicks,

901
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 3: pennix McCarthy five or six of them going in the

902
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 3: first round type and then in the top half of the,

903
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 3: first round not so trades Back For dart.

904
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: And the other variable there is the teams who are

905
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: in those spots they need a Quarterback like, Patriots won't.

906
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: TITANS won't, i mean there'll be some of there in,

907
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: those spots and they're just looking to. Get, back, yeah yeah.

908
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: Yea yeah they may be more agreeable to just take

909
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: whatever they.

910
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 3: Can get, absolutely, so obviously you'd like to have your

911
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 3: pick of, the litter, to say there's five guys that

912
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 3: are all gonna go before twenty they're all gonna go

913
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 3: in the. Top half you'd love to have your pick of.

914
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: The litter but you're probably happy with three or four.

915
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: Of, them yeah and history shows you get some dynamite quarterbacks, at, eight,

916
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 3: nine twelve, you Know just allen, YOU know, I Mean I'm,

917
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 3: ALAN mahomes i mean the guys from. That class and,

918
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 3: to me as you, mentioned earlier, strike like let's say

919
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 3: you want to get, TO nine i think that costs

920
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 3: you the twentieth pick next year's first and maybe. A,

921
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 3: third yeah that's. Very, DOABLE yeah i mean, that's again

922
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 3: that's why we've been telling, you guys this is. The plan, You,

923
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 3: know like of course you don't want to be short

924
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 3: the next, year's first but you're. Gonna. BE yeah i

925
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 3: mean the team's on trade out of eight or nine

926
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 3: to twenty, for, nothing, right right but if it's for,

927
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,200
