00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: a low scoring game, should be the Eagles.

00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,760

61
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,960

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,720

00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: start to Steelers, I don't know, have problem with that. Yeah,

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: and we could always pivot if we need one hundred

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: bucks here or there or have an extra hundred All right,

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: I think they'll get sacked. Good cheap defense. Yeah, causes

67
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: might be rusty. Yeah, you know, it's a good offense,

68
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: but it's a good defense. Uh, we're going to go

69
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,040

Speaker 3: Ferguson fifty two hundred, Mark Andrews five thousand.

00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: Pretty cheap for Mark Andrews. They were fourth best against

75
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: tight ends. That doesn't shock me, but I mean he's

76
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: their number one.

77
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,840

83
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: I gotta find him on here, my boy, John Nu

84
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: Musgrave even deeper than that. Yeah, here, I gotta find him.

85
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,800

86
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 2: See the number one. I guess he is. He's twenty

87
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: nine hundred dollars.

88
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: I think in the two games that he played after

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: Hawkinson got hurt last year. Yeah, those two games he

90
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: had like nine catches for he's in every down player

91
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: and that's itself is probably enough. Giants aren't great, No,

92
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: I assume they're not great against sight ends. I mean

93
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 3: they're linebackers and safeties are so so, and throw him in.

94
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: He's twenty nine hundred bucks.

95
00:04:59,400 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: I'm five.

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 3: Allows us to pay up if he gets four catches

97
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: for forty yards.

98
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: That's away, and that's where it happens to falling the

99
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 2: end zone. And even better, we're doing a dance. Yeah.

100
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 2: I was leaning towards expensive guys. I was leaning towards

101
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: kincaid and McBride and Andrews and Laporta, the real expensive guys. Yeah,

102
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: that's real expense.

103
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,640

Speaker 3: What if he runs for one hundred yards?

120
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: No, I say he's gonna run for a lot of year.

121
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: I mean they might get beat bad, but it doesn't matter.

122
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield is fifty six hundred. It's a bad defense

123
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,320

Speaker 3: Great, right, Derek Carr against Carolina is fifty three hundred.

130
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,120

Speaker 3: Claimed on waivers four cornerbacks, right, and I don't.

132
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: Think that's type of team that can exploit the Saints

133
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: battle line. No, maan, maybe a little clowney and Derek Brown.

134

139
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,360

186
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: of good options, but none of them are super expensive.

187
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: And somewhere we got to spend money. Yeah. I liked Gibbs,

188

Speaker 3: Let's go with Walker at sixty one hundred.

191
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,760

192
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: actually below market. Yeah, that's still below our budget. Huh.

193
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and even like a James Connor or someone like

194
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,720

197
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: which are those other running I like the mere White

198
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,760

199
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's fifty seven. We could really, I mean we

200
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: could spend it wide receiver.

201
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,520

231
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: Nico and Waddle really stand out to me because like,

232
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: the Jags have one good corner. Yeah, not that they're

233
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: gonna shut down Tyreek, I think, Nik, I think they're

234
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: gonna throw all over the Colts. And just like you

235
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: said with the Lave, I mean they don't make corners right, Yeah,

236
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: I mean Jase Horn's healthy for.

237
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: One, Well, Tampa is in the same boat. And yeah,

238
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 3: McLaurin is fifty six hundred.

239
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 2: They may feed him a lot. There's been a lot

240
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: of talk like when what's his face? Their head coach

241
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: used to be the head coach of the Cardinals. These

242
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: of this Pepper Hopkins, you know, the number one gets

243
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: a lot in that Offen even like quick hitters behind

244
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, you know that kind of stuff.

245
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: Another one I really like is Josh Palmer at fifty

246
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 3: two hundred against the Raiders.

247
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: I don't like the Raiders corners. No, he's a number one.

248
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: I like all those ones we just mentioned.

249
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: Courtland Sutton is only fifty six hundred. Who else do

250
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 3: they have? No, he's worth it, Like we could get

251
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: two of the big name guys and then pay down

252
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: for a couple of those lesser wide receivers and probably

253
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: still come out in good.

254
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: Show as Nico wad or a lave do anything for you,

255
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 2: m I like Cup better. That was a good one too.

256
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: He's a little more expensive. I have no problem with

257
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: at all. I think he will turn rookie corners into

258
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: not That's That's what I'm counting better. And I think

259
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of points in that game too,

260
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: Like is he the receiver that we pay up to

261
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: get plug the man? See where that leaves us?

262
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: That leaves us an average of sixty two hundred dirested away.

263
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 3: Nico Collins is seven thousand.

264
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: I like that a lot. Okay, I think people don't

265
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: realize he's clearly the.

266
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: One That leaves us ends seventeen thousand, eight hundred to

267
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: spend on the last two spots. So let's plug to

268
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: go get a quarterback. Let's plug him. Yeah, let's go

269
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: quarterback first. We don't need three spots actually, now that yeah, okay, So.

270
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: We want to try receiver flex. We want to try

271
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: to stack one of those. You're gonna do, Carl Lave.

272
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: We can I mean, that's a cheapie and a pricey one. Yeah,

273
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: it probably is about to run it all. No, you're

274
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: gon run it all at all. If he throws touchdowns

275
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: with a Lave will smile.

276
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: So that would give us an average of sixty two hundred.

277
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: Let me give a lave in the line up here?

278
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: Where was he at?

279
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: He was? He was like a third of the way down.

280
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: He was sixty six hundred. So that's a little above budget.

281
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: That leaves us fifty nine hundred then to spend on

282
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: the flex flex. Well, let's just sort by flex then,

283
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: because there was one of names like you know, I mean,

284
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: so fifty nine hundred would get you romondre Stevenson, Tony

285
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: Pollardlak Neighbors, oh Zach Moss, Ezekiel al It, Chris Godwin,

286
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley. I think neighbors jumps off the page that

287
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: will get you. Dalton Kincaid, it's good too. You wanted

288
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: the piece of that game. I did. I think neighbors

289
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: are gonna get twelve targets that will get you. Zamir

290
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: White as well. I was asked about him because he's

291
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: in to touch the ball a lot. Kincaid, Zamir Neighbors.

292
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: Well, if we pay down for Zamir White, that gives

293
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: us a couple extra hundred dollars.

294
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: Then maybe move up from car Yeah, okay, I don't

295
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: care about the hook up much with Carla.

296
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 3: I'm just looking here below that. McLaurin is fifty six hundred.

297
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,400

00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: Sutton is fifty six hundred. Gravante Williams is fifty five hundred.

299
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: It catch the ball, yeah, I know that's I would

300
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: rather pay Javante's price and Zamir's price. Yeah. I think

301
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: he's gonna player catch the ball more. Yeah, let's plug

302

303
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,080

Speaker 2: the car neighborhood. Yeah, because those guys are all gonna

311
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: run a little bit. They're all gonna run a little bit.

312
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: Mayfield might rip those guys up too. I think Daniels, okay,

313
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: I got no problem with that.

314
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: That gives us in a lineup of Jade and Daniels

315
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: at fifty seven hundred, Kenneth Walker at sixty one hundred,

316
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 3: James Connor at sixty two hundred, Cooper Cup at seventy

317
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: one hundred, Nico Collins at seven thousand, Chrysal Lave at

318
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: six thousand, sixty six hundred.

319
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: I like that.

320
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Strong Month at twenty nine hundred, that's sneaky, Javonte

321
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: Williams at fifty five hundred, the Steelers defense at twenty

322
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: nine anything left over, that's zero balance, lock it up,

323
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 3: locking it in.

324
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: I like, there we go. So we didn't, and I

325
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 2: mean even though we went super cheap on a tight end.

326
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: And we didn't go get Tyreek or McCaffrey or anything

327
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 2: like that, but we got a lot of We had

328
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: a nice balanced lineup, a lot of guys that are

329
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: gonna be starting in your real fantasy league. Oh yeah,

330
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: I mean all the running backs we started.

331
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 3: Some of these guys are gonna be much pricier moving forward.

332
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 3: Like this would be the chiefesthoul get Jaden and Daniels.

333
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: I think I would imagine. I would imagine when he

334
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: rips off, you know, Nikos one week week that we

335
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: got I thought would be I mean Javonte is another one. Yeah,

336
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: like he's gonna catch five balls game. Yeah. They always

337
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: they throw to the back. Yeah, that's what they do,

338
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: batter down distance.

339
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, So that's our lineup we play. We usually

340
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: do double ups on the draft came oh yeah yeah,

341
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 3: and a lot of times when we look in there,

342
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: they'll be.

343
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: On the show. So with the exact same lineup, we

344
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: only know this because you all have steel in your

345
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's like Johnny Steeler fan, the exact same

346
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: lineup and our things.

347
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 3: It makes it tough for us to win. We just

348
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: want you to win as well.

349
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

350
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 3: But that's our that's our DFS lineup for the weekend.

Speaker 2: Do any Yeah, he's a Thursday.

363
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 3: We take a look at the injury reports and things

364
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: of that nature for the game tonight. The uh Baltimore

365
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 3: Ravens have placed running back rashine On Lee on injured reserve.

366
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: He's the Marshall kid. It was injured when they drafted

367
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: him and red shirt.

368
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 3: They're running back situation behind Henry Is.

369
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: It's Justice Hill who that's it? I think he's a three. Yeah.

370
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: They elevated John Kelly from their practice squad, but he.

371
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: Just hes a guy right right. I don't like the

372
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: receiver depth either. No, no, Cincinnati.

373
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: Still listing Joe Burrow on the injury report with their

374
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: wrist injury.

375
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's still feeling it, yeah, and I'm sure

376
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: he's gonna play, but I hope he doesn't get hit again.

377
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: Your right, right, Yeah, I mean it's Watson and him

378
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: and a couple of these injuries used to assume are

379
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: going to be fine. Not always. You know, it's easy

380
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 2: for us to say, oh, he'll be fine. It's not

381
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: your risk, you know, right, bothering him.

382
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: T Higgins with a hamstring was added to Thursday's practice report.

383
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: We said this unhappy contract guys that get ignored, Yeah,

384
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 2: tend to pop up with little injuries and not play.

385
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 3: Also Jamar Chase. They elucted it as rest was limited

386
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 3: in thursday's practice. What's he resting from? He hadn't done anything.

387
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 2: Resting from not playing football is not anything.

388
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: So Higgins and Chase limited for them, Yeah, and Burrow

389
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 3: has something and Burrows still.

390
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: I assume we see them all and they're probably gonna

391
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 2: be fine, and they're not playing a very good team.

392
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 2: But don't forget all this. You know, we're watching in

393
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: week ten whenever they don't any of them, maybe there's

394
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 2: a reason, you know.

395
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about this for the Browns. Offensive tackle Jack

396
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: Conklin limited today with that knee.

397
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: You mentioned, they've had tackles. He just came back off

398
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 2: the pup list like last week.

399
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: Jedrick Wills did not practice Thursday after being limited yesterday.

400
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 2: He also came back at the peak they've all summer.

401
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 3: They're both dealing with knee issues. That's her two starting

402
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 3: offensive tackles now.

403
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 2: Dwan Jones is a phenomenal backup right tackle. I thought

404
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: he was dealing with stuff earlier in the year he was. Yeah, yeah,

405
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what their plan is. If both of

406
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 2: those guys can't go, that would be huge. I mean,

407
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: if they're limited in Joness, Yeah, and but the guy

408
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: that really doesn't handle pressure, well yeah, I like Dallas

409
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 2: more and more than that game. Yeah.

410
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 3: Maurice Hurst, defensive tackle was limited with the hamstring. Defensive

411
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: tackle Quinton Jefferson limited with an achilles. Defensive tackle Dalvin

412
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 3: Tomlinson limited with the knee.

413
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: That's a deep defensive tackle group. It's not a great

414
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 2: defensive tackle group, but that depth is really the best

415
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: part about it. They use a lot of those guys.

416
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: But if you can't use a lot of those guys

417
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: early and early early in the season. Yeah, yeah, fatigue.

418
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: Linebacker Jordan Hicks was also limited with the calf injury.

419
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: Okay, not a lot of good mojo going around in

420
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: Cleveland right now. No, they get some, Yeah, they do,

421
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: they do.

422
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: On the Dallas side of that, Mazee Smith was a

423
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: full participant today coming back from the akill. He had

424
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: a sore achilles marshawn neland was a full participant. He's

425
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 3: dealing with a knee, and then quarterback Israel Macamu with

426
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 3: a growing as a full participant, So.

427
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: They're they're pretty healthy, pretty healthy. Yeah, Cleveland's all banged up. Yeah.

428
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: I kind of like the under in that game the

429
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: more I think through it. I mean, that's two big

430
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: time pass rushers to the best defensive players in the

431
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 2: league and some questions to tackle.

432
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

433
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: How about this one?

434
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 3: Kansas City today agreed to a three year contracts extension

435
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 3: worth nineteen point five million dollars for tight end Noah Gray.

436
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: Really six million dollars a year more than six million

437
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 3: dollars a year for Noah Gray.

438
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 2: That sounds expensive. I mean, I don't think he's the

439
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: next Kelsey. I don't either. I think he's a nice

440
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: compliment to Kelsey, whose role keeps growing because they're going

441
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: to keep you know, Kelsey on some kind of pitch

442
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: count sounds like a lot of money though.

443
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, ten million guaranteed is that thing?

444
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: Some of these tight end contracts for those type guys.

445
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: I remember when Jesse James went to the Lions. It

446
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: was like there was a bunch of them that year

447
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: that were all borderline starters. People are making that kind

448
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: of money.

449
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: Pat Farrenmouth could still sign a contract before the Steelers

450
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: again up on the plane to Atlanta, and I've heard

451
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 3: people say, well, he's people throwing numbers around eleven twelve

452
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: million dollars. That's the going rate for a starting tight

453
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: end in today's NFL.

454
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, tight end's a weird market. That's what I was

455
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 2: going to say, is like the very best ones aren't

456
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: making thirty million, like the receivers. I mean they're just

457
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: not even close so in a way to have an

458
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: awesome one as a bargain. But the Tier three guys

459
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 2: like getting six to eight. Yeah, they're getting pretty high

460
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: quality money because so many teams, I mean, they play

461
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: a fair amount that market seems a little lost after

462
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 2: them A lots asked of them. Yeah, I just think

463
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: that market's not very balanced, or maybe you could find

464
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: some loopholes in it, or you know, you could easily

465
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 2: overspend and not be happy about it. I think that's

466
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: a weird market right now. It really is.

467
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 3: We'll see if the Steelers are able to get something

468
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: done here. I think both sides want to get something done.

469
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 3: I would imagine and that if it happens, I could

470
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 3: he could take it right up to he signs the contract, uh,

471
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: you know.

472
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 2: On the tarmac. Yeah. Yeah, and you can have a

473
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: big year, he could. I mean his value to go

474
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: up eleven or twelve million for Friarmouth is the going

475
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: rate post? It really is. Yeah.

476
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: From Miami, they've got a bunch of injuries, Yeah they do.

477
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 3: Center Aaron Brewer was limited. He plans to play though

478
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: on Sunday. But you don't like your center dealing with

479
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: the hand in a new center, right, even if it's

480
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 3: your offhand.

481
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: So that's the one you got to get up quickly. Yeah,

482
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: you know.

483
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 3: Jlen Phillips was limited yesterday coming back off that killes.

484
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: He's a full participant today. I heard he's gonna be

485
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: in a pitch count though, Yeah, maybe just specialty stuff.

486
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: And he's probably their best pass rusher I would imagine

487
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 2: with Chubb is out. Yeah, and they drafted Chop Robinson

488
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 2: the first round, who I would imagine is gonna be

489
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: part time. Yeah. And Phillips's best is really good.

490
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: Anthony Walker, the linebacker, was a full participant today with

491
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: the knee he was limited yesterday.

492
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey as a hamstring. He's hopeful to.

493
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: Play in a season opener, okay, but the team is

494
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: being This is from NFL dot com. The team is

495
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 3: cognizant of an upcoming schedule, which includes a Thursday night

496
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 3: game in week two. He didn't practice today. And I

497
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 3: know they're used to it, but heat for soft tissue

498
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 3: injuries and pools and strands and stuff can be difficult.

499
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: That's a short week, short week coming up. Wow, I

500
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: think Isaiah Win, the starting guard, is out. I heard

501
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: this today. Guess how many seasons they're really good? Left

502
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: Hart tackle Armstead has played every game. He's been a

503
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: league a long time. I'm gonna say two.

504
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: It's zero. Wow, it's zero. Like he's gonna get hurt.

505
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: That's what so one of the things. When Cam Hayward

506
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 3: signed his contract extension earlier this week, I tweeted something

507
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 3: out about it on the ex Twitter.

508
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of the.

509
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 3: Comments on there are like, well, how many games is

510
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: he gonna play this year? He is, he's always hurt,

511
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: He's never hurt. He's played in the league thirteen seasons.

512
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

513
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: In ten of those seasons, he's played every game they

514
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: wanted him to play, and there were there were one

515
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: of those situations where they sign him out the regular

516
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 3: season finale.

517
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: Right.

518
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: Other than that, he's played every game that they needed

519
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: him to play in except for three seasons.

520
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: And you brought this up to me. You know, this

521
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: isn't a new idea by me. But when you're down

522
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 2: at the facility, they talk about what a quick healer

523
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: he is. Yeah, I mean he's and I'm sure he's

524
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 2: I'm sure he heals quicker than me and you. But

525
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: I think he just plays with paint. I mean, because

526
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 2: he's tough and he's, you know, a great player.

527
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: It's just boggles my mind that people think he's injury prone.

528
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, I get that older coming off injury.

529
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 2: You know, we just talked about Cousins Rogers, et cetera. Yes,

530
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 2: those are two red flags, but he does not have

531
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: an injury history.

532
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 3: Not a normal guy who's been in the league for

533
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 3: thirteen years.

534
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: Right, He's played more games than the average thirteen year veteran.

535
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: He will this year.

536
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: I think he needs eight games to pass Donnie Schell

537
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 3: for the most games played by a Steelers defensive player

538
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 3: in team history.

539
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 2: Wow.

540
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 3: The only guys who will then be ahead of him

541
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 3: will be uh Ben Roethlisberger obviously quarterback. He's one, yeah,

542
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 3: Hines Ward and Mike Webster.

543
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: I say Webby has to be high too. Yeah, he's

544
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: only to twenty one. Wow, something like that. I mean

545
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: he never missed time either. Wow. I didn't know that

546
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 2: about Cam. I mean, all the great defensive players have

547
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: played a long time here. He's going to retire as

548
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: the most games played. Yeah. Almost.

549
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: If people think, oh, he's not worth that money, he's

550
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: you know, injury prone. First of all, the money that

551
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: they gave him, the signing bonus that they gave him, Yeah,

552
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: was the money he was going to earn this year.

553
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: Anyways, there's no guaranteed money, I don't think. I mean,

554
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: they could cut him after the year and it wouldn't

555
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: matter one bit.

556
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the next two years. He signed for twenty

557
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 3: nine million dollars total, So he's fourteen and a half

558
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 3: million dollars the next two years. That's nothing.

559
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 2: I didn't know this at this time yesterday. I mean

560
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: I learned yesterday night. But it's a much more team

561
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 2: friendly deal than I originally anticipated. I assumed he was

562
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: getting huge signing bonus, guaranteed money if things going off

563
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: the rails, and it's gonna cost you a little bit,

564
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: like all contracts, if things go off the rails, he

565
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: could you could say, hey, hey, Cam, we're gonna we're

566
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: gonna cut you, but maybe you should just retire and

567
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: we'll make it look good, you know. Yeah. Or if

568
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: he's awesome, you bring him back at your price, right,

569
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: you know what I mean of all the hour right, Yeah,

570
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: it's a great deal.

571
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: Just boggle my mind when you put stuff like that

572
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 3: out there, and some fans are like, well, he's not

573
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: worth that. It's not your money. He's worth whatever the

574
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: market will pay him.

575
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of very smart fans, and hey,

576
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: I love you all if you're listening. But I even

577
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: feel like I don't realize how much inflation the league's

578
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: going through right now. Oh my goodness, it's so wealthy

579
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: right now.

580
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: The receivers are making thirty plus million dollars exact a year.

581
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, a borderline Pro Bowl defensive tackle, even

582
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: if it's for two years to fifteen million isn't much.

583
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 3: Pass certain just got signed for twenty five million dollars

584
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 3: a year.

585
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 2: You can't compare it to five years ago. Oh yea.

586
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: I mean the league is growing so fast financially. Yeah,

587
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 3: and they know that of course. Just looking through some

588
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 3: of this other injury stuff here. Not a lot of

589
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: super stuff here.

590
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 2: Mike Williams. Nobody plays it on the preseason.

591
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: Mike Williams coming back for the Jets.

592
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, this is one that you've got about. Injury prone.

593
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: He's injury yeah, he's injury prone.

594
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 3: And a lot of Steeler fans were like, well, that's

595
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: a guy they should sign the offseason.

596
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: I was super interested, and I think they were interested too.

597
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: He's on according to Robert Saul, he's gonna be on

598
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 3: a pitch count to start the Sea I know at

599
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: this point, yep.

600
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he'd be useful. I wish he was here.

601
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: He didn't sign for a crazy buck. I mean from

602
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: what I it's like ten million a year or something

603
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, and when he's out there, he's going.

604
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: To know that again, he has an injury history and

605
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 3: he's not going to be quite ready for the season opener.

606
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. His style of play actually lends itself that way too.

607
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: He does not take fall as well. No, no, I

608
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: mean they're like train wrecks heavy, right, and he puts

609
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: himselves in harm way. He's a go up and get

610
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: it guys and gets hitting the ribs all the time

611
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: and then lands on his head, you know, right. I

612
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: like the player though, I mean, yeah, he would make

613
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: the Steelers better. Absolutely, it'd be nice if he was ready. Yeah. Yeah.

614
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: The forty nine Ers had Christian McCaffrey today. This is

615
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 3: the first day they had to come out with the

616
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 3: n actual injury report. Oh okay, because they play Monday night.

617
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 3: McCaffrey was limited today.

618
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 2: Christian mccaff injury. It's a bad injury for I mean,

619
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: Wilson's is still looming. I mean McCaffrey's was worse, and

620
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: he's a running back that has to cut off it

621
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: and calf injuries dwindle slowly. I don't know why but

622
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 2: they do. Yeah, well there's a lot of cutting involved

623
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: with well yeah, yeah, you know, I mean you just

624
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: there just is yeah, So I mean, I look, I mean,

625
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: I think the Browns are in really bad I didn't

626
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: realize they were in such bad shape. Still still this point,

627
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: I wonder what Watson's workload has been in practice to.

628
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: Missing time throughout training camp, Like they're giving him days

629
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: off because his shoulder was sore.

630
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: And that's what I mean, like even his days that

631
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: he's a full participant. See out they're throwing hundred balls

632
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: to hundred balls. I don't I bet not. Yeah, I

633
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: bet they're saving.

634
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 3: Them between him and Burrow. I think those injuries to

635
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: those two quarterbacks have kind of been ever just assumes

636
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 3: they'll be fine. Underplayed a little bit like in the building.

637
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: I bet they kind of look at each other like,

638
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: I hope Joe's all right, Yeah, you know what I mean,

639
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 2: until you see it, Yeah, until you see it. They're

640
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: both throwing arms in hand, right, that's yeah, that's.

641
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: It's It's something that is kind of a big deal.

642
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: For a quarterback. See if even if Burrow is not himself,

643
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: you know, like it won't be like last year, Like

644
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: he shouldn't have been out there to start the season, right,

645
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: I mean the coaches should have been like, no Joe,

646
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: you know, but.

647
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: Remember when Chase said, actually said that once you set

648
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: out the first few weeks and.

649
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: Right because right to be right? Yeah, and they did

650
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: okay with the backup, you know, Browning it was okay.

651
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: I would be worried. I think Burrow could have been

652
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: in for a huge year. I don't think Watson's in

653
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: for a huge year, but a healthy Burrow would good.

654
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: Like this, It's one of.

655
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: The reasons why I don't understand all the people picking

656
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: the Browns for the playoffs and things that there's just

657
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: a lot of bad mojo there.

658
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: I think their offense could be well below average. Yeah again,

659
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: no Chubb, No Chub. I mean like if they had

660
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 2: Chob right now and feel differently, right, But Martin Cooper

661
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: is a good player, But like who we get in

662
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: the football too, it's going to carry this offense because

663
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a quarterback. No, I don't think

664
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: so either. And the old line these tackle things are worrisome.

665
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 2: And the old line in general lost their own line

666
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: coach who's a stud, and they're all just a year

667
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: older too, And they're not the second best line in

668
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: the league. They're the sixth best line of tackles are

669
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: all banged up right, and this year will they be

670
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 2: the twelfth best line in the league. It's a strength,

671
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: but it's not a dominant strength like it was when

672
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: they were at their best.

673
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I yeah, I don't know. I think

674
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: there's some issues there. And yeah, they go out and

675
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 3: get steamrolled by Dallas.

676
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: And the Opener in their own building, in their own building,

677
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: I could see that'd being a low scoring game. Yeah,

678
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: but anyways, let's get to another way to watch them all.

679
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: He is Matt Williamson. I and huh yeah, we'll do

680
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 3: some predictions. We're going to take a break here. When

681
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: we come back, Matt and I will predict what we

682
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 3: think is going to happen in Sunday Steeler games.

683
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: You won't want to miss that. We'll be back with

684
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: more right after.

685
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: This at least is the Drive with Dale Lolly and

686
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of

687
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

688
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Drive.

689
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 3: I am Dale LOLLI he is Dean, Matt Williamson and

690
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: Matt it is time to take a final look here

691
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 3: for me this week. Anyways, you'll do it again tomorrow

692
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 3: with yeah yeah rob King Steelers at Falcons. Falcons favor

693
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 3: by three and a half, the over under forty two.

694
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 3: And just looking at this game, I think, to your

695
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 3: point that you said earlier in the show, this is

696
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 3: a perfect time to play this Atlanta team because it's

697
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 3: coming off of a torn achilles tendon.

698
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 2: Also a team that didn't play anybody in the play right,

699
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 2: nobody right, nobody played in the preseasons. The coaching staff,

700
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: that continuity they have on the off offensive line is

701
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 2: a great advantage. But not even playing any.

702
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: STAPs right, you know, some new defensive pieces, the very new,

703
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 3: very new, like within the last two weeks, new that

704
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 3: they're trying to incorporate into this whole thing. I think

705
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: there'll be a better team later in the year, like

706
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 3: Week six, than they are right now.

707
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I tend to agree. They have three scary weapons,

708
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: they have a good quarterback, they have a good O line,

709
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: a couple pieces on defense. But I don't love new coach,

710
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: new quarterback no matter what the situation is, even if

711
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 2: he's been ahead guy before and Cousins a long time starter.

712
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: It's obviously different than New England and Washington. You know

713
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 2: with rookie first round pick type guys. Do you want

714
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 2: to make your pick? I mean, I'm not gonna say

715
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: miney tomorrow. Okay. Yeah.

716
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 3: There's also I don't know how many times Zach Robinson,

717
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: who's their new offensive coordner, how many times is he

718
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 3: called plays?

719
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 2: I don't think ever. I mean preseason, right, they let

720
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: those guys do in the preseason. But it's different. It

721
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: just is there's a lot of newness.

722
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 3: So it's it's it's a heck of a lot of

723
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 3: newness there. And to me, I think the Steelers are

724
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: gonna come out, They're gonna run the football, control the clock.

725
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 2: The Falcons will make some plays. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

726
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: I have no doubt. Be John scares the heck out

727
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 2: of me, without a doubt.

728
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: And if if Atlanta wins this game, it's because Bjon

729
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 3: Robinson was able to control the clock and and keep

730
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 3: the Steelers offense standing on the sidelines.

731
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: The Steelers had trouble tackling.

732
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 3: And he's catching a bunch of passes and he's very capable,

733
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: without a doubt, without a doubt. But I just think

734
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 3: that the Steelers, regardless of who starts at quarterback, are

735
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 3: going to make enough plays offense. I don't the people

736
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 3: who looked at the preseason said, well, that's Steelers offense.

737
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: That that didn't look didn't look great, That wasn't what

738
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 3: the offense. That was not the stuff that they were

739
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: doing at Treble.

740
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: I'm guaranteeing you folks, it will be better or worse,

741
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 2: but it would look different, look.

742
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 3: A heck of a lot different from what you saw

743
00:36:58,520 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 3: in those preseason games.

744
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: So along the lines of the change, I'm sure there's

745
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: people out there going, well, Steelers offense is shown a

746
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 2: lot of change too, and they got a bunch of

747
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 2: new starters. Yeah, and most teams weak ones hard. Yeah,

748
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 2: I mean it just is for every team out there.

749
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 2: But instead of being an assistant offensive coach now being

750
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: OC and a defensive coach now being head guy, it's

751
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: head guy now gets to be OC. Right, you know,

752
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 2: like this is easier than it used to be for me,

753
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: you know, not the other way out. Less on my plate. Yeah,

754
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 2: I get to concentrate on offense. That's so much easier

755
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 2: than media stuff and figuring out what we're eating for

756
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: lunch and travel and you know all that challenge that

757
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 2: player right right, I get this X and O it up,

758
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: which is great for him.

759
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like the Steelers in this game twenty four

760
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: to twenty. I think it goes just a little bit over.

761
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 3: I think the Steelers offense will be better. I think

762
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 3: they'll they'll be able to, you know, again, get the

763
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 3: ball into the red zone, punch it in.

764
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 2: I think Nause Harris has a big game.

765
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: He's going to get the football, you know, Jaylen Warren

766
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 3: being a little nicked up with the hamstring right now.

767
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: I think you give Nause just a few more carries

768
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 3: than he maybe typically would in this game, and.

769
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 2: I think he takes advantage.

770
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 3: I think I thought he had a great preseason.

771
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: I think he can practice. Yeah, looks lighter on his feet.

772
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 2: I don't know how much weight he lost, but he

773
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: looks explosive. He looks yeah. Yeah. I also have the Steelers,

774
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 2: but a lesser score. I have seventeen sixteen. I could

775
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 2: see the Steelers front winning against a good offensive line. Yeah,

776
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: And I could see the Steelers zh line just having problems,

777
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: you know, like timing, not being right on blocks, things

778
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: not looking right, you know that type of thing. And

779
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: I think not that both defenses are going to rule

780
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 2: the day, but I'm not expecting it to be glorious

781
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 2: when the foot when the Steelers have the football, I mean,

782
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: I think, you know, first downs are still not going

783
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: to come easily. You know, this offense gonna be a

784
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,479
Speaker 2: work in progress. I just think the Steeler d is good,

785
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's really good fresh Watt and high Smith

786
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 2: and Hayward. I think there'll be some big plays on defense, yeah,

787
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 2: I mean sacks and strips and stuff like that.

788
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me too to see the Steelers

789
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 3: make a big play on special teams.

790
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 2: Agreed, quarterall Patterson. I mean, there's a lot of revenge game.

791
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: I hate the revenge game stuff. But Patterson's gonna be

792
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: at his best. Yeah, Pinter's really good. We haven't even

793
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 2: seen the kicker.

794
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 3: We haven't seen Patterson return a kickoff yet under these

795
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: new rules, right, And I do believe it is gonna

796
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 3: think that's on purpose. Yeah, I think it is going

797
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: to be Jalen Warren back there with.

798
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: Him, Okay, And I would always worried, like since there's

799
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: always two guys back now why don't just kick it

800
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: to the not Patterson guy. Well, I've seen Warren play

801
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 2: football a lot, and he's going with the ball field too. Yeeah. Yeah,

802
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 2: so that's.

803
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 3: You know, you can you want to play that game?

804
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: Okay?

805
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, obviously teams might do that.

806
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: And Warren will stick his face and there's a blocker two. Yeah,

807
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure Patterson will. I imagine two bigger guys.

808
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 3: I mean, you get to two hundred and twenty plus

809
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: scount pound guys as your return guys.

810
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 2: As you've seen them, they're thick. I mean they're strong

811
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: and well built and don't go down easily. So you know,

812
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 2: I just think that the Steelers defense will be something

813
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 2: that we're talking about after this game. Wow, that defense

814
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: is maybe even better than I thought, lying around in

815
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: a dome and rushing the passer on third and long

816
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: after stuff in the run, and yeah, I think the

817
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: defense is going to be the reason they win. Yeah,

818
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 2: but I think it's an tight game. I also think that.

819
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 3: If the Falcons come out like we think they are

820
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 3: and play a lot of eleven personnel, I kind of

821
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 3: think that plays into the Steelers' best.

822
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: I tend to agree having their best eleven on the field. Yeah,

823
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 2: and I don't love their eleven personnel package. No, I

824
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 2: don't either. I think they're their twelve personal package. An

825
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: they're they're you.

826
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 3: Know, fifth offensive skill position. Guy is weak, is weak,

827
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: is not a start, will probably be the worst player

828
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 3: on the field in that situation.

829
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: Definitely the worst Falcon. Yeah. I mean their quarterbacks good there,

830
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: our Lions good. Whoever that guy is, whether they maybe

831
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: they play more twelve, but the rams the tight ends

832
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: aren't right, That's what I maybe.

833
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 3: I'm where or the other they're eleventh guy on offense

834
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 3: is going to be just a guy.

835
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: Yep. I could just see as the game's going on though,

836
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: the coaches in the booth on the headset being like,

837
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 2: we got to get something better than Ray Ray McLeod

838
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: out there, you know what I mean, Like he's he's

839
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 2: not blocking anybody. Yeah, how about we tried double tights.

840
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 2: But then that guy is not dangerous.

841
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 3: I mean the only thing that they could do would

842
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: be to put Algaerre on the field with Robinson.

843
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean, Bejon could even be their slot. I mean

844
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: he's that good. Maybe a little bit just that Yeah,

845
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: maybe how do you have off of that I mean

846
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: if we know their fifth guys bad, they know their

847
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 2: fifth guys yead you know, of course. I mean maybe

848
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 2: they've done a little bit of pony, but that's only

849
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: gonna be five plays.

850
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's only so much you can do oft of that.

851
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: But their top guys are scary. Like, I think it's

852
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: breakout year for London, and we know Pitts has ability,

853
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 2: some of it's been untapped, but just be under stop.

854
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: I think the Steelers are built in many ways to

855
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 3: be able to handle a team like that because they're built. Yeah,

856
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,959
Speaker 3: they know they have to play Cincinnati twice every year.

857
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm also really intrigued along those lines London versus Porter,

858
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: Terrell versus Pickens. Yeah, I mean those are and both

859
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: guys will travel. Good matchups, yeah, for not bad for

860
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 2: the Corners considering if they're going to go against ones,

861
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: it's their style of receiver that they should do well against.

862
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 2: You know. Like again, I'm leaning towards the under.

863
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I had it just barely going over, but

864
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 3: it wouldn't surprise me if it's under.

865
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: Range out of the blue. If Wilson is ruled out tomorrow,

866
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: would you change your tune? I would feel better about

867
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 2: the under.

868
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 3: I would feel better, Yeah, my chance to score because

869
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: to your point, yeah, there will be I think there

870
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 3: would be a lot more.

871
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 2: Running, a lot of running, shorter game, fewer plays, all

872
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 2: that stuff. I think I'd still take the Steelers. Yeah,

873
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 2: I probably that's probably still stay at seventeen sixteen, but

874
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 2: it'd be a different way of getting there. Yeah, without question.

875
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 3: But I do think that the Steelers defense will be

876
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: why they win this game.

877
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 2: That front seven should do really well. A guy's not bad.

878
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 3: Either, No, And you know, Tara Austin talked again about

879
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 3: it today, Like you know, he was talking about Deshaun.

880
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 2: Elliott and what does he allow you get to do?

881
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 2: What you definitely allows me put Maca back at deep middle,

882
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: deep middle, and that's where he's best. Yeah. It also

883
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: wouldn't blow me away if I said, let's do at

884
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 2: least some of Mica. You got Pits, Porter, you got London.

885
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: If everybody else beats me, so be it, you know

886
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 2: what I mean? Yeah, I might follow Pits around a

887
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 2: little bit if he's detached, you could, you know, I mean,

888
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 2: or even Elliott might have him in man.

889
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 3: You can even bracket those two guys two of them.

890
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: You can do that with two guys and single up

891
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 3: on everybody else.

892
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly if they're on the same side of the

893
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 2: field together, Manca's going to be leaning that way. Yeah,

894
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 2: you know, I think it is always a wild card.

895
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: He really is, and he's one of the best wild

896
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 3: cards in the NFL right now. I know he didn't

897
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 3: have any turnovers last year. Do you really expect him

898
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 3: to not have any turnovers again this year?

899
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. No, I mean I bet he gets

900
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: four at least.

901
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's his I think his average since

902
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 3: he's been with the Steelers has been five, probably with

903
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 3: fumbles and fumbles things like that. I mean, he's just

904
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: always around the ball.

905
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially on past plays. Yeah, I'm psyched about it.

906
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 3: And I honestly, I think with their with their nickel

907
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 3: package that really they didn't play with those two linebackers

908
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 3: out there, with Wilson and Queen out there.

909
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 2: Say, I assume that'll be Wilson. Yeah, you know, in

910
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 2: the situation, there's just so much speed, so much speed

911
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 2: in a dome, and Elliott's a nice advantage to Jackson's

912
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 2: a lot faster and a lot faster than what he

913
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: played with last year, you know, and I think he's

914
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: a better player than people realize. Yeah, Jackson versus Mooney,

915
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 2: I like Jackson in that matchup all day long. Yeah,

916
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 2: Mooney's not that impressive that Mooney's a three. Yeah, and

917
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: the other guys, honestly, you know, if they want to

918
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: try to exploit Beanie Bishop as the nickel corner Raymond McLeod, Right, okay,

919
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 2: maybe he has a couple first downs they wouldn't usually get.

920
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna go six for one thirty, no,

921
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Or if Pitt's is going

922
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: to be your slot, well I think Elliott'll be.

923
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 3: Then Elliet'll be on him. And yeah again now you've

924
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 3: you know.

925
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 2: It should be okay with it at least. Yeah, I mean,

926
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 2: those guys are gonna do their damage.

927
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 3: And the problem with eleven personnel against the Steelers, you're

928
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 3: taking blockers off the field to stop that pass rush.

929
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 2: And frankly, I don't know how good of a blocker

930
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 2: Bijeon is. Yeah, No, he's young, right, if it's good

931
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: or bad, And but you're gonna probably want to keep

932
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 2: him in a fair mind.

933
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 3: That's not pits calling card. If you're an eleven personnel.

934
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 2: If your six guys going to be on Yeah, and

935
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 2: that's not the best usage of him. He's a really,

936
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: really good receiver. It's also really dicey. Yeah, getting that's

937
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 2: I mean t J.

938
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 3: Watt and Alex high Smith are two of the best

939
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 3: get offs in the league.

940
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 2: It's a good pair of tackles, but they're also better

941
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 2: run blockers across the board, especially the right tackle. McCleary

942
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 2: is much better. Lindstrom is just a great player the

943
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: center and other guard. Okay, yeah, Matthews is a rocket consistency,

944
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 2: but he's not Hall of Famer or anything.

945
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 3: Leave monted Island and right right, I would imagine a

946
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 3: blockcase guy every play.

947
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 2: I think that's what they're gonna have to ask to him.

948
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 2: But that, yeah, because this middle eleven personnel you got

949
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 2: high Smith. Yeah, and that's the way they're gonna have

950
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 2: to play it there. And also running out of eleven,

951
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: Mooney and Reyray give you nothing nothing as blockers and

952
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 2: as tight ends go. Pitts gives you nothing as receivers go.

953
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 2: He's a good blocker for a wide receiver.

954
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a reason why they they had four tight

955
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 3: ends on the roster last year. Yeah, with with and

956
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 3: you know, John A. Smith's not bad, He's okay, He's okay.

957
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 3: But they had Michael Prude as well as an extra blocker.

958
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 3: He did a lot of the blocking stuff, a.

959
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: Lot of stuff on the move too. Yeah. Again, I

960
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: mean their offense is good, but I think they're looking

961
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 2: at their offense like we're short a guy.

962
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it wouldn't surprise me if their first

963
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 3: overall pick next year is another wide receiver eleven it.

964
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: Could be yeah, yeah, or are they in the market

965
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 2: for trades or you know they had they traded for

966
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 2: Rondell Moore.

967
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Moore back at the end of the year and

968
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 3: they say, oh we're good now. Yeah, yeah, not good

969
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: right now.

970
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 2: And they have smaller dudes, including more More and Mooney

971
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 2: and McLeod And again, Pitts is not a blocking, physical

972
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: tight end. Yeah, no, I agree. His usage really interests

973
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 2: me though, absolutely absolutely, Matt, that's going to do it

974
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,760

977
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:47,719

00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,560
