1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to the Drive. I'm 3 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson and Matt. I have 4 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: a story here from CBS Sports dot Com by Jason 5 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: lacam for who's he's pretty insider, uh, and he has 6 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: a guy for each team, could be a player, could 7 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: be a coach who is a maker break person for 8 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: that team season. So it's interesting. Yeah, don't we go 9 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: down through this. We'll do this in order. Um, starting 10 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: in the NFC East for the Washington football team, his 11 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: guy is Montes Sweat. M hmm, okay, I think Sweat 12 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: really came on extreme. It's been good, not great. Yeah, 13 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: but he's a first round draft pick. First round pick. 14 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: He wouldn't have been my pick for them, just because 15 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: if he breaks, you know, make or break. If he breaks, 16 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: don't still be pretty good pass rushing team would be 17 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: good up front. I was thinking, like Antonio Gibson, like, 18 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: if he could be somebody on their offense, I need somebody, 19 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: just you know, somebody opposite Terry McLaurin would be right, 20 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: one of those guys, you know, Curtis Samuel or somebody 21 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: to make quarterbacks life easier. Gibson has a lot of 22 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: upside if he can take over that mckissic receiving role 23 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: in addition to that would be a choice for me. 24 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: And he thought, here though, is that you know, if 25 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: he could be the Robert mathis to young to Chase 26 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: Young's Dwight free. Now he got something, Now look out right, 27 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: and then you're probably the best defensive league, you know, right, 28 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean we could probably say this 29 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: for just about every team, but the quarterbacks. Kind of 30 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: important quarterback. The first round pick Jamie Davis over Bostic. 31 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: We you know, we see what that could do here, 32 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, for the Cowboys, this guy is Tyron Smith. 33 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 1: Good one. I think it's neck and back and it's 34 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: just been all these Harder to trust than ever, but 35 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: not far from being the best left tackle in the league. 36 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: The whole line was really banged up last year. That's 37 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: to the point where he doesn't need it to be 38 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: awesome like he did as a rookie. I mean, he's advanced, 39 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: but if he's quality player, if they can get sixteen 40 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: seventeen starts out of Tyrone Smith, which they haven't gotten 41 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, goes a long way, right, 42 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: that's a good one. I mean, the defense is much 43 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: more up in the air than the offense. But that 44 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: guy has been you know, they signed him like a 45 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: ten year contract. Now he's making big money and needing 46 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: to play like it for the Giants. It's Kenny galand a. Okay, 47 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: I guess what do you expect out of him? Is 48 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: he going to be a complimentary players? Just down for 49 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: what they're paying him? He can't be a complimentary right 50 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: to be the number one they're they're paying him as 51 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: a true number one receiver. Yeah, I don't know if 52 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: he is that, but I mean he's not far off. 53 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying it's a bad player. I 54 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: kind of feel like that contracts something they're gonna regret 55 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: in two Years's gonna be one where I probably would 56 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: have gone with Daniel Jones for them because it's such 57 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: a pivol year for him. He's certainly at the point 58 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: of his career. Again, because quarterbacks in the first round 59 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: picks we can mention every time. But he's either gonna 60 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: be the Giants quarterback next year or on the massive 61 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: hot seat before the draft. I mean, they got two 62 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: first round picks. They're in position to find his successor 63 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: if he has a bad year, they'll pick early again. 64 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,839 Speaker 1: So yeah, I really think it's you know, crossroad times 65 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: for Mr Jones. For the Eagles, it is a quarterback, 66 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: it's Jalen Hurts, similar situation because they have to order 67 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: in the processes year two for him. But still right, 68 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: he's only had three or four starts. I was I'm 69 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: a little prejuice against him because I was not super 70 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: high and him coming out of school. Actually say with Jones, 71 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I don't know that either 72 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: one is going to pass that test. If I'm to 73 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: predict them, I can see both those teams really being 74 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: in the quarterback market with a bunch of first round 75 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: picks between them. But he's going to have And there's 76 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks in this mold too, was in 77 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: this mold too. We got your stuff, you know, we 78 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: got you Tony and Fuller and Davante Smith and Waddle 79 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: and you know those three places. You gotta get him 80 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: the football that yeah, coming back, and you know we 81 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: got Sanders and we invested an offensive lineman. We didn't 82 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: go out and get quarterback competition of note for you. 83 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: It's your time to show us what you can do 84 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: in the a f C. Moving on for the Bills, 85 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: this is a tough one for the cold beastly. Do 86 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: you e meant him talking about he might retire? Yeah, 87 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: because he you don't think he wants to get vaccinated 88 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: and the rules are so prohibitive against you know if 89 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: you don't. Well, this is one of the reasons why 90 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: he's on the list here for them, because he's there. 91 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty good for them, like the epitome 92 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: of a slot receiver and reliable, and he was very 93 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: good for them. If he's not there, do they have 94 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,119 Speaker 1: somebody who can replace him? They don't have that style 95 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: gave Davis won't be that guy. I mean, Emmanuel Sanders 96 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: could to some degree, but it's not like the Jets 97 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: are gonna trade him Jamison Crowder or something like that. 98 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: Good point. Now, that's a good one. I was thinking 99 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Terrell Edmonds, maybe can he take the step to trade right? Right? Yeah? 100 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: Could he take the step? Could he take the step 101 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: to be in a top top guy? Yeah? For the Patriots, 102 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: he lists two guys here. It's Trent Brown, Kyle Van 103 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: noy Uh and I guess The theory is, look, these 104 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: are two guys the Patriots let go and brought back. Yea, 105 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: do they still have anything left? Do they still remember 106 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: how to get this done? The players? Yeah, we said, 107 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: Look when the Raiders signed Trent Brown to that ridiculous contract, 108 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: there's I don't know that anybody thought that was a 109 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: good deal, no, or that he wouldn't be a cap 110 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: casualty a year or two from the same thing with 111 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: van Noy. Good player, not a great player. I see 112 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: where he's saying that, because there's a second go round 113 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: with the team as good as the first go round. 114 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: They got a lot of good snaps out of those 115 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: two first time around in in New England. I don't 116 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: know if they have to count on either though, especially 117 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: Van Noy. I mean they've they've they've added a lot, 118 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: and I think they're taking a flyer and a guy 119 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: they're very familiar with, but they have options. I mean, 120 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that they're in super bad shape if 121 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: either one of those guys isn't great For the Dolphins. 122 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: It's George Godsey and Eric Studsville. They're co offensive coordinators, 123 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: which is the dumbest thing that right, and we've seen 124 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of that. Atlanta did it with defensive 125 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: coordinators or one guy. I think it was early downs 126 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: and one was you know, third and Long's type of deal. 127 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: I think that's a one person job. There's there's not 128 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: a doubt in my mind, right because I would assume then, um, 129 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: first of all, that you know you got a head 130 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: coach who's a defensive guy, right, so is he gonna 131 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: overrule these two uncertain, uncertain plays and things I would 132 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: imagine not. I think he's just calling it like you 133 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: could they you know, they better have distinct rules on 134 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: game day this is your place and might play like 135 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: and even that that's right. It feels like Craig Morton 136 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: and Stabok going in and every out of every play 137 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: and those types. Yeah, that's not how the league works. 138 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: I just don't see how that works. Don't either, Uh 139 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: for the Jets at Zack and like the quarterbacks we 140 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: make up for he Drew Breese or Rivers or you know, 141 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: right for the Jets at Zack Wilson. Sure, but these guys, 142 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: it's almost like, don't stink in around in year one? Yeah, 143 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: I mean look the part. Yeah, and we'll still build 144 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: around you like I would hope. Expectations aren't through the 145 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: roof that he's gonna be great. I think it's just 146 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: you look at that Jets roster and you say you 147 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: got to pick somebody, and the rest of it's just 148 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: kind of like some guys. But who are you picking 149 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: to say, well, he's gonna make or break their season? 150 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: None of them. And even if Wilson's great, the making 151 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: the seasons probably eight wins, you know, I mean, if 152 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: he's right, and if he's as good as Burrow was 153 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: last year or Herbert, they still probably aren't five in 154 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: the NFC South. For the Bucks, it's Tom Brady. Just 155 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: don't fall apart. Don't fall apart. At some point it's 156 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's gonna happen. And it looked like it 157 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: was happening last year in mid season, like November was 158 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: not kind to him. No, and the year before in 159 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: New England was not kind to you, right, you know 160 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: what I mean? I mean, I'm sure it's nice to 161 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: get some sun and the Browns surround yourself with a 162 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: much money. How is he going to handle seventeenth game? Though? 163 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: I worry about him, Yeah, I really do. It's a 164 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: great roster he's in an ideal situation, but I think 165 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: he's a little overrated right now as a football I mean, 166 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, he needs things to be pretty optimal. For 167 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: the Saints, it's Michael Thomas. Yeah, they don't have much 168 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: else in the receiving department. I thought they would address 169 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: receiver higher. It's and he was very injured last year. Um, 170 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: I think the quarterback situation is not very Michael Thomas friendly. No, 171 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I probably won't own a 172 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: lot of Thomas shares, and and like, what's his ceiling 173 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: this year? Eight? He catches right, He's not super dynamic anyway. 174 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: For the Panthers, it's Christian McCaffrey. The last time we 175 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: saw him on the football field, he might have been 176 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: the best player in the league. I mean, he's sure 177 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: would make Donald's life easier. Yeah, it makes that transition 178 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: much better. They don't have a great line either, but 179 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: much of that matters with great bacts. For the Falcons, 180 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, Okay, he's a hard one for me. You're 181 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: placing Julio Jones. Yeah, I guess if you look at 182 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: it that way, I mean, like you need to be 183 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: the number two here from day one. We have not 184 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: seen tight ends do. He's certainly capable physically. I guess 185 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: if he's great, I don't know, can they make their 186 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: season though? I mean if he catches it, if he 187 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: catches eight passes, yeah, you know, okay, and I think 188 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: we all think he's gonna be good. But what if 189 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: he's okay verse great? Is that two more winkers? I 190 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: would do him all o more Kyle Pitts stock in 191 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: fantasy football than I won Michael Thomas me too, Yeah, 192 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: because the position he plays too, But yeah, I don't 193 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: even know that would matter. I just think he's a 194 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: much more dynamic player. I think I'd rather play against 195 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: Thomas than Pitts. Interesting. Moving on to the a f C. South. 196 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: For the Colts, it's Carson Wins. It has to be Yeah, 197 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: what is he? Who is he? I mean, I guess 198 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: you could say the left tackle situation, because you would 199 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: move on from a stalwart type guy, but it has 200 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: to be Wins. I mean, he's the epitiome of this article. Yeah, well, 201 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: there's no doubt. I mean, he's the poster. He's aid 202 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: he should be your your photo. I think he you know, 203 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: I'm in mid round pick For the Titans, it's Julio Jones. 204 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: M hmm. I guess that's about availability. What is he 205 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: at this point in his career? Is he a guy 206 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: that you can count on again for seventeen games? Where 207 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: is he going to be a you know, eight or 208 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: nine game player. I'm not worried that he's gonna impact 209 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: the game every time he's out there, But if he 210 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: misses time, then you get easy to play against again, 211 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: and a G. Brown gets doubled and more people than 212 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you're back to where you were 213 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: at before you traded for him, and you have one 214 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: target we pick like Bud the pre though they're banking 215 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: on a lot of fixed all of our passwors problems Bud. 216 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: For the Jaguars, it's Urban Meyer. Yeah, he's done some 217 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: odd things since taking the job. Um, he needs to 218 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: show that he's a professional coach. I guess is the 219 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: best way I could put that. Like even highing the 220 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: strength coach, you had some off the field stuff like 221 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: what do you think you're doing? Like a lot of 222 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: strength coaches out there you could have hired. All Right, 223 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's your buddy and you've got a history 224 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: with them. But you mean that's like when of your 225 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: first moves he did as a head coach and you 226 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: don't think people are noticed, you know, for the Texans, 227 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: well maybe he thought he was in Jacksonville and nobody 228 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: would notice that. For the Texans is DeShawn Watson. Do 229 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: you feel like they're faked with him? Is almost written? 230 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: I mean, if he gets suspended, he doesn't play. If 231 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't he doesn't play. If he's traded, he'll be 232 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: playing for somebody else. Yeah, right, but what do you 233 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 1: get back for? Where do you get back fro him? 234 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: Not enough at this point he's not gonna play again 235 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: to promote his stock. And if he gets cleared, great 236 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: you might get I don't know certain in the first 237 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: from uh Denver or somebody like that, but I don't 238 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: think it maker breaks your year, your your years broke 239 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: years broken? Yeah. Yeah, and they don't not even the 240 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: first round pick. You could say, boy, it would be 241 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: great if the first round corner look good. That's how 242 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: bad their roster. Moving on to the NFC North for 243 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: the Viking IRV Smith Jr. Did you hear the quote 244 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: that Zimmer said something like Irv's role is not going 245 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: to change. I mean, people assume he's gonna uptick in 246 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: his his catches and usage. The way Zimmer said it 247 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: was kind of odd. He kind of said, no, he's 248 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: really good at what he did does it's not going 249 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: to change. But we were all hoping, like, oh, yeah, 250 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: he's becoming this is something like the other tight ends 251 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: will have to step up for the Rudolph role. He's 252 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: the number one. He's the number one. That's a good one. 253 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: I guess I was thinking, like Darry saw, you know, 254 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: one of the starting young offensive lineman for the Packers, 255 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers. That's cheating a little bit, but sure, 256 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: what's he gonna do for the Bears? It's Justin Fields. Yeah. Um, 257 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: Naggi came out yesterday and said, I think this is 258 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: an exact quote or very close. He said Fields cannot 259 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: win the starting job in camp. He said the word cannot, Like, 260 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: why would you say that? I mean, I've heard things 261 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: like Dalton's our starter. Great, and maybe that's what you 262 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: told Andy, But to say that this, maybe you're just 263 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: trying to take some of the pressure off the kid. 264 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: Maybe like, hey, you know we're gonna he's going to 265 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: start at some point. To see. So he and Niggie 266 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: aren't asked it every day at camp. I don't know. 267 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: They probably will be anyway, probably, But yeah, for the 268 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: Lions it's Jeff Akuda. That's a good one. Yeah, quiet 269 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: rookie year. I wouldn't say terrible or bust or anything 270 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: like that, but but can he take that step now 271 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: in year two and become what everybody thought he was? 272 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: Different draft? You know, he could fall if he's not 273 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: great that they might be putting him on the trade 274 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: block and might be a Minka Steelers look at him 275 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: type guy. I mean, like we liked him moving on 276 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: to the a f C. North. For the Browns, it's 277 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: your Davian Clowney. That's a good one. They're counting on 278 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: him a lot. They're out of their minds. I think 279 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: they're crazy on that one. Good one. I just don't see. 280 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean, what's the overundering how many games he plays? 281 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: Seven or eight? Yeah, right, I might go under. I 282 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: just don't trust him, and he's not suproductive when he's 283 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, it's odd to me that they put 284 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: that many eggs in that basket. For the Ravens, it's 285 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: Bradley Bozeman. Center is a problem. Yeah, so trying a 286 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: new one. It's not like he's It's almost like what 287 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers are doing here with their offensive line. They're 288 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: like the Ravens offensive line could be a big issue. 289 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: It's been shuffling a lot less since basically Yonda's retirement 290 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: and including Stanley's injury. I mean, what happens if Stanley 291 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: is not ready to go at the start of the season. 292 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: I will be your left tackle, bro, and then who 293 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: plays right right? What's his face? They signed? Isn't gonna 294 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: be ready for a while. Yeah, I mean they're they're 295 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: searching a little bit there. That's pretty clear. Which in 296 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: your run first offense, like your offensive line needs to 297 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: be good. Boeman is not a high pettit replayer either. 298 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: For the Steelers, it's Ben Roethlisberger. Okay. Then we had 299 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: a good segment last, you know, last segment talking about 300 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: Kendrick Greene, I think is a pivotal young guy. Um, 301 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: you know high Smith would be on that, you know that, 302 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: and they were camp Sutton would be on. Yeah. I 303 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: was like in a corner of some sort. Maybe that's 304 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: even lay, But I mean Ben sure for the Bengals, 305 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, So I don't think I trust him already. 306 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: I think we know what we're gonna get from him. 307 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: We're seeing quarterbacks come back off of knee injury zone 308 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: be a little gun shy. Yeah, especially behind what could 309 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: be a social offensive line. Is he gonna be, you know, 310 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: Joe flaccoing it up and every time he throws the 311 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: football lifting that leg up in the air to make 312 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: sure it doesn't get hit. That would be a problem. 313 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm expecting that from him. I kind of 314 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: feel like I know he's good already. A lot of 315 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: questions on defense, A lot of questions on the defense. 316 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: I don't know who you would pick out though defense 317 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: and say, oh, this is the pivotal guy. I don't 318 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: know if they have any pivotal guys. And maybe it's 319 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: a couple of dudes they signed last year, like Reader 320 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: that they didn't get out of. Yeah, there isn't a 321 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: pivotal guy though. Moving on to the NFC West for 322 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: the Rams, it's Raheem Morris, big choose defense coordinator. Yeah, 323 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: he's been Morris has been pretty good. I think he's decent. Yeah. Um, 324 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: before they did a lot of interesting things last year, 325 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: a lot of safeties on the field, a lot of 326 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: defense backs on the field, did some interesting things up front. 327 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: Um lost quite a few pieces on the defensive. They 328 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: did a couple of good ones Troy Hill and Johnson, 329 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: and yeah they played a lot of one linebacker. Yeah yeah, 330 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: So just be interesting if he is going to continue 331 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: to do what they did or is he gonna put 332 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: his stamp on And which have been the best defensive 333 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: league last year for the Seahawks Dwayne Brown? Huh, He's 334 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: like the one thing they could count on on their 335 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: line for the last couple year. But I wonder if 336 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: like the Ramsey pick Whitworth for the same reason. Don't 337 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: get old on me now, yeah, don't don't don't fall 338 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: apart now yeah. Um. One thing I was fiddling around 339 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: with was snap counts, and the Seahawks defense was on 340 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: the field more in endy of the league in terms 341 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: of snaps per game, not time possessions, which nuts because 342 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: they run the ball so much, right, And so I 343 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: wonder is that a big thing? Why you know the 344 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: coaching staff, Carroll's come out and said we need to 345 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: run the ball more because their defense can't get off 346 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: the field. I don't know what's interesting umts. He went 347 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: kind of the same direction here. He went with Trent Williams. 348 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: I mean, they're paying him a fortune. I would might 349 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: have gone with Jimmy g here and said, hey, what 350 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: are you right? Right right? I mean, Williams maybe the 351 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: best left tackle the league last year. He was pretty good, 352 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: and they just paid him like it. I don't think 353 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: they're expecting him not to be I mean he showed 354 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: no signs of slowing down. How about like Nick Bosa, Yeah, 355 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, coming back from injury or something like that, 356 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: or you know, Jimmy is in the obvious one though. Yeah, 357 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: I mean that's no brainer. I think you know, it 358 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,239 Speaker 1: doesn't matter how good your left tackle is. If your 359 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are the same guys they were running out there 360 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: last year because Jimmy was hurt, you're in trouble. Even 361 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: if you're running Trade Lance out there, you're in trouble. 362 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: I hope, I mean I think they hope that that's 363 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: a mahomes Alex Smith's situation that we can compete be 364 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: a playoff team with Jimmy, and as the season goes on, 365 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: everyone the building realizes Lance is the better player and 366 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna give him the you know, it would clearly 367 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: be his job next year. But that's easy to say. 368 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: I just don't know what you have based that off 369 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: of that. What the hundred fifty career passes he through 370 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: in college? Like, no, right, right, right, it's just not 371 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: a big track record there. No, they're not. I mean, 372 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: obviously they love him, but we'll see. For the Cardinals, 373 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, that's a good one coming back from major injury. 374 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: It was a great players. He's still greater. Is he? 375 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: Just good team with Watt and those guys could be 376 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: pretty dynamic pass rush. Yeah, I'm fine with that. Yeah, 377 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: that's one that I think about, Like Isaiah Simmons too. 378 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a top ten pages. He didn't 379 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: do much for much of his rookie year. Time to 380 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 1: start showing up. Moving on to the a f C West. 381 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: For the Chiefs, it's Orlando Brown. Yeah, you wanted to 382 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: be a left tackle. Right here you go. You're not 383 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: run blocking every play anymore. You know you're gonna have 384 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: a tougher assignment play after play and every every eyes 385 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: on you. We gave up a lot to get you. 386 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna pay you, you know, all right? Yeah? Um, 387 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: their line should be pretty good though, should be pretty good. Um, 388 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: but you know I might have picked like Frank Clark, 389 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't know that if he's a left tack in 390 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: the NFL, athletically he is not right right right? You know? 391 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: Can he get by just because he's he's you know, 392 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: a massive human being left tackle. Sure that can happen. 393 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: Um and playing left tackle and bald and he was 394 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: good last year for Baltimore on the left side. It's 395 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: completely different, totally different than what he's gonna be asked too, 396 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: Frank Clark, I mentioned just because he has been slow 397 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. He's making a ton of money. 398 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: Chris Jones is a great interior play or they need 399 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: an edge guy that you know lives up to the money. 400 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: For the Broncos, it's Von Miller. M huh. I mean 401 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: obviously like Jander Jones didn't play last year and needs to. 402 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: They're paying him to be a top guy. Can he 403 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: still be that at this age? And if he is, 404 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: their defense will be really good. You know they have 405 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: good cover guys. Chubb's are really good. Number two or 406 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: slash you know one a um good scheme and then 407 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: your quarterback situation is not as bad. If you're you know, 408 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: keeping teams to sixteen points a game, nineteen points a game, 409 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: you know you'll be in it. Yeah, Or if your 410 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't turn the ball over a bunch. Yeah, That's 411 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: why I worry they're gonna pick Bridgewater for the Raiders. 412 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley good one. I mean, he's a traditional Seahawks 413 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: cover three and that's a dying people know how to 414 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: attack it now, you know, And do they have the 415 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: talent to do that right? I mean it's I don't 416 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: know what the Raiders are. I don't know if they 417 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: know what they are. That's part of the problem. Searching. 418 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: I think that's a real Gruden trade. He's he's never happy. 419 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: He's always looking for the next big thing. Um you know, 420 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: sees the shiny toys. Also seems to employ a lot 421 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: of his buddies, you know, and which maybe not his 422 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: best thing. Like the Seahawks cover three's fine, but if 423 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: you got Cam Chancellor and it's execution base not scheme base, 424 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: it's kind of like the Steeler offense conversation you've had, 425 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, like, and of course they won't just run that, 426 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: but they've been searching for safeties, and who's the earl 427 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: Thomas as Mo ring able to do that? You know, maybe, 428 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: but that was a lot of pressure with front four, 429 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: you know, Bennett and Avril and all those guys. They 430 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: don't have the pass rushers to pull that off. Certainly 431 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: don't have the linebackers either. Uh. And then for the 432 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: Chargers it's the other boast of brother Joey huge money 433 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of help on the other side. Yeah, 434 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 1: I mean he's great, Okay, I mean, I bet I'm 435 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: having a hard time who else I would think of 436 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: in that role. Mike Williams is a guy. I think 437 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: it's really interesting, and I keep buying him in fantasy 438 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: cheap because he's really cheap. James will be a key 439 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 1: guy here too. Yeah, stay on, can you stay? Can 440 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: you stay healthy for a season? Please? I think there 441 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: was one or two guys as we brought up that 442 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: are gett into that neighborhood like you put two. I mean, 443 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: if he gets hurt again this year, he hasn't been 444 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: healthy since his rookie years, had one healthy year. He's 445 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: had one healthy year in the league. If he this 446 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: would be a third year in a row where he 447 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: misses time, Like I'd be like, we can't pay you 448 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: right now, it's contract time. All of a sudden, things 449 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: happen quickly around here, you know, like you better any 450 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: more more from you in a whole stint, you know, Yeah, 451 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: I mean but if he's right, wow, you know yeah? Right? 452 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: You know? Yeah? But is he? Is he still that guy? Even? 453 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: You know when you you missed a couple of seasons 454 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: with injuries and they were don't remember what they all were, 455 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: but I'm sure I believe at least one of them 456 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: was a leg injury. Can you still run? Can you 457 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: still do the things that made you special as he is? Yeah? Yeah, 458 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: that's a good point. He's probably a really good choice. 459 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: Come to think of it, I was thinking, you know, 460 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: the edge rushers opposite Bosa, can they high smith it 461 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: up and be a step up type players? Um, Jerry 462 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: Killery was a first round pick who's really awful for them, 463 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, like he looks like a bust as his 464 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: career about the fall apart Um, I mentioned Mike Williams. Yeah, 465 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: a couple of candidates, Yeah, I I uh, there's a 466 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: lot of guys you could put on these lists. I mean, 467 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: it's not just a one thing. You know, again, a 468 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: lot of times you can just go with the quarterback 469 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: because it's that's easy. That's that's the easy way out. 470 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: I was sitting and thinking about the division, like Patrick 471 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: Queen was a problem last year. He needs to step up, 472 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: And I guess you could kind of say that about Bush. 473 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: Bush has been better, But what if he gets injured 474 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: two years in a row. You're starting to get in 475 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: that count conversation with him. You know, some of these 476 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,239 Speaker 1: some of the Browns. You know, if you look at 477 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: the Browns guys, they're looking for a guy like Delpot 478 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: to step in and play a lot of snaps this year. 479 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: He did nothing last year. No, No, he's a good one. 480 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: Um can Wyatt tell her? Keep it up? And is 481 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: he a one year wonder type guy? Odell? That's a 482 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: good point with them. Everybody's praising the Browns offensive line 483 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: that's the best in football. How much is Nick Chubb 484 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: a lot? Yeah? That's that goes back to our our 485 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: our conversation about Naja Harris. Why two years ago? Why 486 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: Teller was just a guy? Nobody nobody right? And I 487 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: like Treader and I like the rest of their line 488 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: as well. I mean the first, the tackles our first 489 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: round picks, and you see the ability there and they're 490 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: high priced and high you know expensive dates. The interior 491 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: is great. I think it's the best interior in the league. 492 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: Chubb sure helps. I mean, like the Titans interior is 493 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: not loaded with stars. You know, saffls a lot better tackles, aren't. 494 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: You know? Lewin missed a bunch of games last year. 495 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about putting you know, Ratten's reduence 496 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,479 Speaker 1: or whatever. How he even pronounced his name the right 497 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: tackle and is one of their spotlight guys too. Might 498 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: be a true for Luan too, Yeah, I mean this 499 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: is a big year for him. And you know, again, 500 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: the running back makes the line more than people want 501 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: to admit, more than analytics can show, too, more than 502 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: definitely more than analytics people Ruld for sure. Question because 503 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: you know you think back when before Henry took over, 504 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: is the number one guy. I mean they were running 505 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: you know, these other backs out there, and they were 506 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: just oh, they weren't having great success, No, they weren't. 507 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: Stefanski could be actually both the Ohio head coaches. It's 508 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: a big year for Zach Taylor. I would say if 509 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: he isn't any other organization his seat is. He might 510 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: be gone already and it should be really hot. They're 511 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: a little more patient than most. Stefanski's the opted. He's 512 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: coming off Coach of the Year. But can he maintain 513 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: can you do it? Can you do it five years 514 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: in a row? You know Tomlin Harbaugh in the division. Yeah, 515 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: we'll see. I tend to think he will. He was 516 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: very impressive. Zach Taylor to me they might be looking 517 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: for a new coach or should have been. Yeah, yeah, 518 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: it should be put up our shot up time for him? Yeah, absolutely, 519 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: But uh, lots of lots of questions with that kind 520 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: of stuff. Rushers maybe that who are who are the 521 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: address stepping up there? You know the secondary will be there. 522 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: I mentioned Queen, but who you know, you lost a 523 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: lot at the edge because Calais Calais Campbell, you know, 524 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: play at a high level at this point in his 525 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: career at thirty five. How many snaps is he gonna play? 526 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: And you know those type of guys too interesting. You 527 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: know the thing about the Ravens, I know, look, it's 528 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: a good organization. Um, so you kind of give them 529 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt. I wonder they get that 530 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt, and yet the Steelers don't. Yeah, 531 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: I mean they've both been very want a playoff game 532 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: in a while. Either. By the way, people tend to 533 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: forget that they've won once they won one. They won 534 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: one last year, but that was their first playoff win 535 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: since twenty and I think they had a stint of 536 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: three years in the first playoff wins. Yeah, it's been 537 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: a while. It's been a while, and then Day just 538 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: got that one. And I think both organizations deserve the 539 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. I mean, good, strong organizations, well drafted, 540 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: you know, draft well, good coaches. But that's not a guarantee. No, 541 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: there's no, I mean, not thing is guaranteed in the NFL. No, 542 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm not not a damn thing, um, you know. But 543 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: I expect that organization to figure it out, much like 544 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: the way the same way I expect the Steelers to 545 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: figure it out. Which goes into that don't either teams 546 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: winning five games what you just said about the Browns, Like, Okay, 547 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: did the Browns figured it out for a year? Can 548 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: you do it? Second? Right? And everyone's primetime games, first 549 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: play schedules and things like that. In the horizon everybody 550 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: spent their off season. Look, okay, here's what's the face 551 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: his offense did. Now we'll adjust to it. You know, 552 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And we talked about a lot too, 553 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: I mean, just big picture. Those guys have Lamar as 554 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: well as a lot of at Baker that they gotta 555 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: start paying to. Um, I know, wrapping it up. But 556 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, one of the group of players that could 557 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: be make or break are guys coming off of the 558 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: COVID rest year. Yeah, some of those guys might look terrible. 559 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna look like. How many 560 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: big nosed how much as they working out right? I 561 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: mean the guys that await problems, that were afraid of 562 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: the disease, where are they at right now? And none 563 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: of them were young? Was your list of weight three 564 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: pounds in? Now your three sixty? Yeah? Can you get 565 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: that weight? You know? And now you're thirty, can you 566 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: get rid of that weight? You're often treat leve Bell 567 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: very well, did not you know? Yeah for sure? But 568 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for this show. So for my 569 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: partner Matt Williamson, for Jacob Breck here on side keeping 570 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: us on the air, I'm Dale Lally.
