1
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,079
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome

3
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson

4
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: and Matt. I wanted to get through a couple of

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: a couple of different pieces that I saw until today.

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: The first one is Dan Hansas from NFL dot Com

7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: predicting each a FC teams m v P m interesting,

8
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: and I could tell you that if his prediction for

9
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers m v P comes to fruition, they're gonna

10
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: have a very good season. Okay, little teaser there, teaser

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: there for you. So we'll get to that. Obviously, we're

12
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: gonna go alphabetic order. Says Steelers will be almost last here.

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Let's do one non quarterback too. If he picks quarterback,

14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: let's throw out another name, because the quarterbacks and east

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: that's a sure. So of course, the first one here

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: is the Baltimore Ravens and his m vps Lamar Jackson.

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, of course he's won an m v

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: P as well. Who would be your next guy? I

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: think I'd go Marlon Humphrey. Perhaps perhaps I could see

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: J K. Dobbs and Dobbins if he supposed reports out

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: of mini camp are number one priority is to get

22
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: the backs more involved in the receiving game. That would

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense if I were hardball as well.

24
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: It also makes you know, a little less wear and

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: tear on Jackson. And that's that's Dobbins all day long.

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: How about Sammy Watkins? Think that's funny too, because I've

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: picked him up super late in fantasy drafts. Nope, everyone

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: thinks he has a plague. And even if he doesn't

29
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: play much, he's not bad at football, contrary to popular belief,

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: and he's the only of a sudden he's the number

31
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: one I'm not He's not gonna get two targets in

32
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: that offense, but he might be their best receiver and

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: something they've missed quite a bit. Absolutely right. The Buffalo

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Bills are up next. He picks of fun Digs. Alan's

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: the obvious tropes. Of course, Diggs, I guess is probably

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: just as obvious as the number right pick Davis White.

37
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: He needs a bounce back scene. He didn't like what

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: as well last year's he had. Edmonds could be one

39
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: of the best linebackers in the league. He has he

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: takes that leap. If he takes that leap, one of

41
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: their safeties. Safeties are good players. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: they're kind of a no brainer one. Yeah. For the Bengals,

43
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: it's Joe Mixon. I like that. Yeah. They need him

44
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: to stay fantasy I pick him up all the time.

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: They need him to stay healthy, they do, and he

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: would sure make burrows life easier. You got a better

47
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: offensive line than what they've had. They can't ask Burrow

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: to throw fifty times a game, you know, and no

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard there anymore, So he's gonna be the guy

50
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: as much. I like Chase and Higgins and Boyd. They

51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: all sort of cancel each other out. You could live

52
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: without one for a couple of games or you know. Yeah, Um,

53
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: he should get three hundred touches this year, I would think, easily.

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: And that's what he's getting paid to do, and he's

55
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: capable of it, and he's as talent as any back

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: in the league. I think it's coming. But maybe that's

57
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: how his career goes, where he never quite get that

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: from him, I don't know. For the Browns, it's Miles Garrett. Yeah,

59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Baker's obvious. Chubb gets canceled out

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: a little by Hunt. If I were them, you'd love

61
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: it to be O'Dell because that could take him to

62
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: the next level. Garrett's I don't see that happening. I'd

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: have a hard time buying into it. Garrett's a superstar

64
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. Von Miller, Wow, that would be big

65
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, that would be huge because then that

66
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: means he rebounded and his back to the player he

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: was pre injury. But asking him the bouncer come back

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: off of an injury and the ankle injury and be great,

69
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: it might be a lot to ask. I think it's

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: a lot to ask. Like if if we were doing

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: Broncos radio right now, I'd be like, if Miller and

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: Chubb are equal players this year, great, I'll take it,

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But yeah, they have a

74
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: lot the corners hard to count on. The thirty two

75
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: year old coming back off of a major injury. You'd

76
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: love it to be Judy your Sutton, you know, and

77
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: they're both very capable. You'd love it to be like

78
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Drew Lock. But best of luck with that. I think

79
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: Jane Williams will be good for them. But m V

80
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: p is a tough one on that team. It is

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans. David Johnson he could be sneaky

82
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: good this year because he catches the ball well. Contrary

83
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: probably if he doesn't stay he doesn't stink at football, right, Um,

84
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor will check the football down to him. It's

85
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: a good point. That's actually a pretty good fantasy nugget

86
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: is you can get him for nothing. Oh yeah, and

87
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: he could beat your flag. He could catch. He could

88
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: easily catch fifty passes, if not more. I think Brandy

89
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: Cooks is good too. Yeah, like I think he is

90
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: not a star, but a really good player for any

91
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: team the league. If Tyrond will throw him the football,

92
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: that's well, he pushed it down field and that's not

93
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: a good marriage. But I think David Johnson is gonna

94
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: get used as long as he stays healthy. I guess

95
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: I can't come up with a better one. I mean,

96
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: you're not gonna give it to the left tackle. No,

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: there's no one on defense for the Colts. Okay, they're

98
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: going with Carson Wentz. Well, then there, then they're a

99
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: super Bowl contender. If if that happens, yes, they're a

100
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl contender. If it doesn't happen, if it's somebody

101
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: else for that football, if it's Darius Leonard or I

102
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: would pick the Forest Buckner. You know, they've got issues.

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: They've got issues, right. I think you'd love it to

104
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: be Pittman. I don't know if he's ready to be

105
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: a Taylor. Yeah, Taylor. I think he's a little overrated

106
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: for fantasy too, because I mean he's not going to

107
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: catch the ball as much as Nausea or mixing or

108
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: one of those guys, you know, but he's a really

109
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: good player. If it's Wentz, they're gonna be a really

110
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a power out for the Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence, Yeah,

111
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: that's easy. I don't know that they can't be anybody

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: else in that team, right, I mean they don't have

113
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: anybody else, right, I mean, like the other Josh Allen

114
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: is a good young pass rusher. Are they going to

115
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: be ahead enough to for that gonna happen? Henderson the corner,

116
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: you know, fine, Djorks a Night's player. I really like

117
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: La Visca, But I don't think any of them are

118
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: ready to be Team m v P. It has to

119
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: be launched for the Chiefs well, sure, Patrick, there's three guys,

120
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: Kelsey Hill, Matthew Jones, Jones, they had some stars on

121
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: their defense is kind of constructed the same way whether

122
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: it's driven by three. But Frank Clark shouldn't be the

123
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: third anymore. That's what I was gonna say. If Frank

124
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: Clark would somehow regain his stature, and then I bet

125
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: to the best team in the league. Yeah, you know

126
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: that he's really hurt them and he's making a times. Yeah.

127
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: For the Raiders, I think they wanted to be the

128
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: old line if the old line is not bad. And

129
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: that's the other thing too. People just remember the Super

130
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Bowl in the playoffs when they were playing with backups

131
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: across the board. You want to see a bad offensive

132
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 1: line turn turned to super Bowl. But it wasn't horrible

133
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: all year. You know, when they're healthy, the line wasn't

134
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: super bad for the Raiders. Starren Waller can't be a

135
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: defensive There could be if they've used Jacob's right, you say,

136
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: could Jacobs be that guy? Yes, yeah, but Waller's Waller

137
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: is the straw that serves to drink. Yeah. I mean,

138
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: you'd love it to be Rugs or anyone on defense,

139
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: anyone right, Well you took you took Lawrence fourth overall?

140
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: Maybe you know right, not Lawrence? What's his face? The

141
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: defensive Clemson another Clemson dude, right, I don't remember his name,

142
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, you'd love him to turn to a star.

143
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: They probably never will, not gonna happen. No, uh for

144
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers there when James, Okay, if Derwin James is

145
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: their team m v P, they're gonna be and they'll

146
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: be okay, they'll be okay. We talked about the defense

147
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: in the last segment. It hasn't more holes than you

148
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: think when you really start of looking at the roster.

149
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: They what they really need is for it to be Bosa.

150
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I think Bose is the easy one. Well, they said

151
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: the safe pick here is Justin Herbert. Okay, okay, but

152
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: non quarterbacks, right, Keenan Allen is a safe one too. Um.

153
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: I think boss is just is an obvious one. He'sn't

154
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: get doubled more than ever though, and that might make

155
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: him m v P. I mean, but Darwin is gonna

156
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: make some flash players of health. He's got to stay healthy.

157
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: You's gotta stay This is year four and he's been

158
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: hurt the last two years. One of my favorites, not

159
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be an m v P, is is

160
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. I think Mike Williams is gonna have a

161
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: big year in a contract season for the Dolphins. SA

162
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: and Howard. Yeah, they need to give him contract though.

163
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean they're giving all this money to like Byron

164
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: Jones and Baker the linebacker and things like that, and

165
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: he's looking at it like, hey, I'm the best defensive player.

166
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: He's not happy right now? He's a potential trade camp

167
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: or does he hold out in training camp and force

168
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: their hand? I think he's well. I mean, you get

169
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Jerome Baker thirteen million dollars a year, right right, it's Baker. Yeah.

170
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: I bet if I'm a contending team, I would offer

171
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: them a first round pick right now for Zavon Howard

172
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: and see what happens some capspace. Yeah. I mean, if

173
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers didn't have huge quarterback issues, that could be

174
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: a Minka type deal. Right For the Patriots is Dante

175
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: hi Tower? Yeah, I don't know about that. It's asking

176
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: a lot coming off sit out year year nine too.

177
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: He's been around. I think his best that his ship

178
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: is starting to sail. The wrong pick off that team though.

179
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: Gilmore one of the m v P a couple of

180
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: years ago, but he's old now too. Yeah, it might

181
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: be Johnny Smith. I know those two cancel each other out.

182
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: I think Johnny Smith is gonna leave the team in receptions,

183
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't love that roster as much as some other

184
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: people seem to love it. Like looks like more of

185
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but I don't like how they've constructed and

186
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: what they have invested in. Yeah, it's still not a

187
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: great I wish they'd more playmakers. Yeah, they just don't

188
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: have any, even defensively, right. I mean, Judean is not

189
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the m v P and that's fine. Yeah,

190
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: that's not easy one to pick. No, it's not. It's

191
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be around the running backs, even though they

192
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: may run the ball of time, like I wish they

193
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: had J. K. Dobbins. Yeah, you know what I mean. Ye,

194
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: Damian Williams, he's a fine guy, you know, right, That's

195
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: why stretch with Jonny Smith for the Jets. This is interesting. C. J. Mosley.

196
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: I would go to Quinn and Williams. I would go

197
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: quint and Williams too. I killed Quentin Williams. That's a

198
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: leap of faith for a guy that has not played

199
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: at all in two years and they played and tons

200
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: of money too. Okay, I mean I guess I could

201
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: see it, and reports have been good and all that,

202
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: but what he asked to do? Um, who could get it?

203
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: On offense? No running back? I mean, Elijah Moore is

204
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: really promising the m v P right and same with

205
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: Corey Davis. He's never gonna be that could be the

206
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, the Wilson Wilson at quarterback, which would be

207
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: a good thing for me. I think it's gonna be

208
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: Quinn and Williams. We'll skip the Steelers here to get

209
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: to the Titans, who are last in the NFC. Here.

210
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: He is Julio Jones for the for the Titans. I

211
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: don't see Julio Jones playing seventeen games and winning Team MVP.

212
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: I love Julio Jones, but I think A J. Brown

213
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: is a better chance to be Team MVP than as

214
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: does Derek of course, of course, yea anyone on defense.

215
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons. Simmons is pretty good. Yeah, he's kind of

216
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: in that. Quinn and Williams is going to be a

217
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: star mode Um Caleb Farley would be wonderful if he

218
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: can get on the football hadn't happen. He he has

219
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: a talent to win that award some day someday. I

220
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: don't think this year. Probably not. Yeah, for the Steelers,

221
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: his pick Dan Hansis has picked for Team m v

222
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: P is Nausea Harris. You would love that. If Naja

223
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: Harris is the Steelers Team m v P, they will

224
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: have a very good record this year. The plan came together. Yeah,

225
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because that means what didn't

226
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: get it? Bush didn't get Itethlisberger didn't get You know,

227
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: there's there's other right, double digit sacks last year, exactly,

228
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Devin Bush. There's guys there that can All eight of

229
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: those guys who have mentioned weren't hurt for the whole year,

230
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: and so you had to give to somebody else. He

231
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: outperformed some really good players to do it, which then

232
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: means he's in the Rookie of the Year conversation. He's

233
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: in the top five to ten running backs on the

234
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: planet conversation. You know, he's the first round fantasy pick.

235
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: I think if he gets point of the offense. I

236
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: think if he gets let's say, and that's the plan

237
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred total yards, right, he's your team m v P. Right,

238
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred total yards will be just under a hundred

239
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: per game. And that's a big number, don't get me wrong.

240
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, fourteen hundred might get it, yeah, you know,

241
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done. But considering he rests

242
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: a little bit here and there, undred is doable. I

243
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: think it's doable too. Six hundred of those receiving yeah somewhere,

244
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, between sixteen and eighteen

245
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: hundred is certainly it's possible. Yeah, but I'd take fourteen

246
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: and he still might be and he still might be

247
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: the m v P. And maybe you just don't run

248
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: him into the ground quite as much as we expect

249
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: over seventeen game schedule. But yeah, I think you'd love

250
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: crystal ball, you know, And you could go Mr Juney,

251
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: Mr Colbert, Mr Tomlin, Nase Harris is going to be

252
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: your team m v P this year. Good. That's why

253
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: we picked him in the first round. To our whole

254
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: plan here all along, Okay, the love it when a

255
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: plan comes together. Shifting gears here, Bill Barnwell put together

256
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: uh the NFL's most vulnerable spots sixteen teams that have

257
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: depth issues beyond their stars and um, and there's sixteen

258
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: different situations here. I read that one and he admittedly,

259
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: because I read the text, cheated a little bit, Brady

260
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: da I mean some of these quarters quarterback situations, Like

261
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: we know how many times you and I talked about

262
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: bad backup quarterback situations. That's cheating to me a little

263
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. But there are some horrible. There's some horrible.

264
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: The first thing on here is is the Titans quarterback situation.

265
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: Their backups are because it's Ryan Tannehill, Logan Woodside to

266
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: Shaun Kaiser, and there might not even be the worst

267
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: backup situational league, but it's not good. It's really bad.

268
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: The next one is a quarterback say tuition as well.

269
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: That's that's the Cowboys with Dak Prescott who's coming off

270
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: of a major ankle injury, backed up by Cooper Rush,

271
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: Ben de Nucci and Garrett Gilbert. And last year they

272
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: were they recognized this problem and gave Dalton big money

273
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: for a backup. The Eagles cornerback situation behind Darius Say

274
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: is laying slaying the in the Jets, um, it's slay

275
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: Michael Jacquette, Zack McPherson, who I'm not even sure is

276
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: a corner, like he's I liked him coming in the draft,

277
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: but he's time. Yeah, and then cavan Seymour. Yeah, it's

278
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: really bad the edge rushers for the Falcons. They're being

279
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: Fowler a lot of money and they're paying Fowler a

280
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: lot of money and he's not that good. He's not

281
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: that good. It's Fowler, Barcapious Mingo who's on like his

282
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: seventh stop. He's really just a special team just a

283
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: special teams guy. Jacob Tuioti Mariner and Edit cumbo O

284
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: good day yea. And their second round pick Davidson can

285
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: play some there on early downs, but he's a heavy

286
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: inside right guy. Horrendous. Same issue here for the Minnesota

287
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: Vikings at edge. At edge, they got Hunter, Daniel Hunter

288
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: coming back off of a major injury, right, Jalen Holmes,

289
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Jones, and Genarius Robinson, a couple of rookies there.

290
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: I was like, there's one other name there that was

291
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they were really bad there when Hunter was

292
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: out last year. Um. They did add Sheldon Richardson as well,

293
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: which kind of helps, but not really. He's a defensive

294
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: tackle tackles are actually a lot better than they were

295
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: a ro They have Tomlinson and Richardson and Pierce comes

296
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: back from opt out. The Saints wide receiver situation that

297
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: amazes me. It's Michael Thomas, Marquel's, Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris,

298
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: and little Jordan Humphrey. Yeah, I mean besides Michael Thomas,

299
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm shocked they didn't do anything. They're like, I would

300
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: have been Darius Tony Neighborhood for a first round pick,

301
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: or or Elijah Moore. Um, you're counting on track Trake,

302
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: want Smith to be your number two? I mean, Adam

303
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: Troutman might be the second leading receiver or probably Kamara.

304
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: But you're asking a lot from two guys that are

305
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,359
Speaker 1: proven and nothing else's pass catchers there, yea. The Seahawks

306
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: quarterback situation QB Yeah, Us Wilson, Geno Smith, Danny Eitling.

307
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: That's terrible, It's awful. Uh. The Jets ed rush edge

308
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: rusher situation really bad, but their corners are worse. It's

309
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Carl Lawson, Vinny Curry, Kyle Phillips and there we talked

310
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: about this in the last segment. That's a Robert Sala

311
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: you've got to rush to pass. Yeah, somebody's got to

312
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: get there, and I don't know who that to see

313
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: a lot of doubles. They're a year away from in

314
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: a couple of spots. Um, they're a year away from

315
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: being a year away. Yeah. The Ravens quarterback situation, No,

316
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: it's horrible. Yeah, Lamar Trace, McSorley, tie or Huntley. There's

317
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: no money. There's the depth behind t. J. Watt is

318
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: the next one on here. It's Cassius Marsh and Quincy Roche.

319
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: As you see here though, they're like the fourth or

320
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: fifth team that we've talked about edge Rusher being being

321
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: a problem area. Yeah, I'm probably came up a couple

322
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: of warm. Um, we'll see about Cassius Marsh, We'll see

323
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: about Quincy Roche. Everybody keeps asking me or the Steelers

324
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: gonna sign one of these guys. They gonna sign Justin

325
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: Houston or Melvin Ingram. Those guys gonna want to come

326
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: here first of all to be a backup because Alex

327
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: Highsmith is going to start. Matter who they signed up

328
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: the star, So do you want to come here and

329
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: be the third guy to play ten to fifteen snaps

330
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: a game? So I can't speak for them, but I

331
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: love that if I'm Houston or Ingram at this stage.

332
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: But you may think, but you're not gonna get paid

333
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: much to do that much to do that, that's the problem.

334
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: And there are those guys. Melvin Ingram wanted more money

335
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: from the Chargers, right, I think, here's money you're not

336
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: You're not getting him for for two million dollars for

337
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: the season. No, but I don't want to be an

338
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: every down guy for the Jets well and not win

339
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 1: any games and get my head beat in. But if

340
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: but if it's just about the money for him, right, right,

341
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: then then he will if they just say I will

342
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: give you five million to come in and be the

343
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: number two guy. A couple of things a peel away there.

344
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: There are a couple of edge rushers that will help

345
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: a team in some way shape or for him. But

346
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams that could use them. And

347
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: like you said, does the money equal the production? You

348
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: know you brought this up before, like when we're talking

349
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: about like Morgan Moses, even he would have been an

350
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: every down player at right tackle, where even if you

351
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: sign Ingram or Houston, you signed the backup. He's a

352
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: rotational guy at most situational. And it's not like Highsmith

353
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: can't be on the field and third and eight, right,

354
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, Um, we'll see what

355
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: we'll see about Marshall Mercy. I think the Steelers will

356
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: wait see what they have at the end of training camp.

357
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: Guys will be hut. Yeah, we'll see who gets cut loose.

358
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they're there. It's something to talk

359
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: about that, it's something to talk about it. Yeah, And

360
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: you could say this with that's kind of like Russell

361
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: Wilson getting hurt too. If t J goes down, you're

362
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: in trouble. You don't You're not getting that guy at

363
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: justin Houston isn't replacing t J. One, No, I mean

364
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: it'd be nice to have if and if something horrible

365
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: happen and t J stepped in a hole today and

366
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: couldn't play this year, I'd be calling Houston and Ingram

367
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: you know right. Yeah, the Houston Texans backups behind Laramie Tunsil,

368
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean their whole roster, Roderick Johnson, Charlie heck Geron,

369
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Christian Okay, yeah, yeah, real bad, not good. The Colts

370
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: behind DeForrest Buckner, Yeah, that's kind of an underreported story there.

371
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: There d line depth. They drafted two defensive alignment to

372
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: address it. Attack it, but not big guys. Uh, it's

373
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: Antoine Woods and Robert windsor great. Yeah, Buckner is a

374
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: great player. But I mean that's a said. I'm not

375
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: giving Bill a hard time on this article. But any team,

376
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: any team stars like you could Watt and Miles Garrett

377
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: and I mean we could talk about a lot. It's

378
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a big drop and right, and how much

379
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: are you going to invest in what? Or Garrett's backup?

380
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you want that guy out there all the time.

381
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: Back to our conversation with Ingram and Houston. So if

382
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna be weak somewhere, you're weak there. But yeah,

383
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: losing those guys would hurt you bad. Uh. How much

384
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: different than a quarterback. The Raiders situation behind Darren Waller

385
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: is Derek Carrier and Foster Moreau and they don't have

386
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: the receivers to make up for unless Ruggs takes a

387
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: big step forward, which maybe they could step forward. The

388
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: Charger situation behind Joey Bosa, Yeah, we talked about the

389
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: opposite Joey Bosa. It's Huhanna and the Wasu who we've

390
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: kind of described as maybe he's their high tower. Yeah,

391
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, okay, but Kyler Fack right, he's the marsh

392
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: that's what they've got. I mean, he's the pickup off.

393
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: They didn't even have the fourth guy. They don't have

394
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: the at least, right, Yeah, somebody who might get better

395
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: and their d line isn't Cam Hayward into it. And

396
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: you know the guys in between those, I don't know

397
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: like they I'm sure they would love to have Melvin

398
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: Ingram back, but again, he wants money. I don't know

399
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: that he's interested in going there. I mean historically people

400
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: like to get away from that organization and not go back.

401
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: The chief situation behind Patrick Mahomes Chad Henny's not good,

402
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: but that's the same as Russell Wilson, right, obviously, if

403
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: they lose my Homes, they're in trouble. The Buccaneers situation

404
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: behind Tom Brady. Yeah, this one's a little differents different

405
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: because there's a huge fall off there is because they

406
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: need to prepare for tomorrow too, you know. Yeah, they

407
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: drafted Kyle Trask, who I I think it was a

408
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: lifetime back up. I mean, I think he's like Jacob

409
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: Eason and that type of situation. But there everyone want

410
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: to talk about how the paid or the Bucks have

411
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: they have everything. You know, they're returning all their starters.

412
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they should have planned for tomorrow a little bit earlier.

413
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Blaine Gabbert or Mason Rudolph? Right? Right,

414
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: Blason Rudolph, Yeah, Blaine Gabbert's I mean the book is

415
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: written on Gabbertt. Yeah. I mean I would have considered

416
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: the first round quarterback. Yeah, they really should. I guess

417
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: there wasn't was mac Jones went there was one, not

418
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: one to take. But I don't know, I'd rather Addmand

419
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: than Trask or you know, I don't know, but it's

420
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: it's just not ideal. I mean, frankly, I would consider

421
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: trading for Gardner Minshew, you know, like that, like I'm

422
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: trying to win the Super Bowl this year. Take a

423
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, fourth round pick for Minshew and maybe

424
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: he can hold down to fort while Brady leaves. I

425
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: mean I would to me, you know, I know everybody

426
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: loves the Browns. Um what do they have for example

427
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: at defensive on their defensive line behind my nothing linebackers?

428
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: If depending on whether Wilson corm more their front seven

429
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: in general, to me is more questions than answers. And

430
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: even Clowney let's say he plays seventeen. He's not a

431
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: pass rusher. He's a run stuffer. He's a disruptor and

432
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: a run stuffer. He's not a pass rusher. I mean

433
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: Olivier Vernon was a better pass rusher than absolute. Yea,

434
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: Oliba Vernon was good for He's not the one still

435
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: out there. Maybe gets health. Um. Yeah, there there are

436
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: a lot of different situations around the league that you

437
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: look at and going that's not good. Um, I know

438
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: everybody wants to focus on you know, what's going on

439
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: with the Steelers. Well there, you know, the secondary and

440
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: the inside lot. To me, if I'm picking the Steelers,

441
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: if I'm looking at the Steelers defensively, yes, outside linebacker,

442
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: back up. Outside linebacker is an issue. It is. But

443
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: they've got a couple of bodies there who I feel.

444
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: You know, I think Rochet's got some think Crochet is

445
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a successful pro. I think he's I would

446
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: rather have him than than Ola. That's funny, I just

447
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: say the same thing. Or there's an upside. Yeah, I

448
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: think he could be. He's be better than those guys.

449
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: If they're all door number one, I'll take door number

450
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: two with Rochet. You see what he turns into and

451
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, as far as you know, everything else we'll see.

452
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean they brought in some guys here to the

453
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: some undrafted guys that okay, they have a history of

454
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: development some players, I mean turning an Ola into a

455
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: player and guys like that inside linebacker to me is

456
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: just as big. You know, is this the year Ulysses

457
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: Gilbert can stay healthy, because if so, that would go

458
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: a long way towards because they don't have another. Devon

459
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: Bush is the problem, and Buddy Johnson is not ready

460
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: to be as like this is putting a little bit

461
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: of heat on Kevin Colbert. But Bush needs to turn

462
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: into a star this year to make that worth the

463
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: trade because they give up a lot. You know, like

464
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: if if he is just okay or Mrs Time again,

465
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: which isn't Kevin's fault, then you look at that trade

466
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: and say that probably was a move they shouldn't have made.

467
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: He needs to make that. Ryan Shaisier like jump yes,

468
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Sais here from year two to year three was okay.

469
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: Now he's a Pro Bowl player. Roan Smith did that

470
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: last year. You know, I mean, like now it's on,

471
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: it's not you're young and you don't recognize things as well.

472
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: And not that that's been a huge problem for him.

473
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: Injuries has hurt him this year. And then I think

474
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: they have a bunch of number threes. That's the problem.

475
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: You don't you have a bunch of guys. You don't

476
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: have a true number two guy. And so maybe they play.

477
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: And what worries me is can they get away with

478
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: more dime than their secondary is not as deep as

479
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: it was to do that where you're you're gonna give

480
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: me more sets with only one linebacker. That's why I'd

481
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 1: like to see a guy like Gilbert make it make

482
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: a jump here. I thought he you know, he was

483
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: a guy we talked about it last offseason. I thought

484
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: that was really hurt by not having a preseason. I

485
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: was super optimistic one year ago and probably put too much.

486
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: You know, now he's had back issues two years in rows.

487
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: So what what is he? I don't know, UM explain

488
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: is a good story, But to me, he's your ideal three. Yeah,

489
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: ideally he's your three. Vince Williams is your three that's

490
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: what those guys are. The rook has a chance, though,

491
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think he's got some learn need to do. Yeah,

492
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: I think he'll be a great special teamer. He could

493
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: be like Gilbert and be a preseason star. He'll he'll

494
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: show up. Yeah, good or bad, he's gonna be. He

495
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: flies around. He's gonna fly around. Yeah. We haven't talked

496
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: about him much, but maybe by the second half of

497
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: the season he pushes Vince out of the way or whoever.

498
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: Somebody asked me about Marcus allen Um on my on

499
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: d K Pittsburgh Sports on my Life Chat this week,

500
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: and I said, look, I think he's fighting for a

501
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: roster's buddy. I think he's a guy without a position. Yeah,

502
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a linebacker, and I know he's

503
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: not a safety. I wish they had a better version

504
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: of him, you know, the two d and fifteen pound

505
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: versatile guy that's situational. But I don't think maybe that

506
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 1: is Buddy Johnson. Maybe I think Buddy's more of an

507
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 1: every down when it's all saiden, you know, mold well.

508
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: But I think that's why they signed the guy from

509
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: Detroit to be that. Oh yeah, yeah, we don't bring

510
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: him up enough either. Killer he's better than Marks Allen,

511
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: and he knock Allen. I was brought Yeah, and he's

512
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: gonna play, and he's gonna play something. D Alan play

513
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: snaps last year somewhere around that, and a lot of

514
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: that was by necessity. He wasn't ready to play. Of course,

515
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: it's healthy. He doesn't play to stabs or any hum.

516
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: I bet Killer grew plays five ways to use him

517
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: in a nickel and even if people are healthy, so

518
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: I mean week one, I bet he gets snaps. Yeah,

519
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: so interesting, Yeah, but yeah, that's gonna do it for

520
