1
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Your tune is about drive on your twenty four to

00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: Radio on the Steelers Audio Network. We sholer Matt Williamson

5
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: final show here this week before we turn the page too.

6
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: I guess a little bit of a slow time, but

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: there will be a weird week.

8
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: Next week's a weird week for content. And I know

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 3: you've gone through this before, but I think we'll probably

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 3: hit fantasy hard on.

11
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll do like we should do a mock draft

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: like every.

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: Day and maybe even like let's do quarterback lists.

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, because a lot of people have stuff.

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're really dialed in all that stuff.

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: And I've mentioned before like when we get home from

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: the trobe is when fantasy season starts.

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: For me.

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: That's when I like build my spreadsheet and I'm like

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: and every day I'm moving somebody here and there. And

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: people know Dale and we've done tons of fantasy stuff too. Yeah,

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: it's it's a popular stuff. But we'll get back into

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: that to some degree. This week is huge Fantasy.

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: Week, huge, and we've we've had cuts coming up, yep.

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: I know we've gotten some some tweets from people like

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: you guys gonna do fantasy football stuff. Yes, don't worry

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: next next week heavy on that stuff.

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: But next week is a weird week.

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: It's a weird it's a it's a bit of a weird.

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll have we'll have the initial fifty three

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: man roster on Tuesday, which is always a big deal.

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: There will be obviously signings said, there's gonna be trades,

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: like we've seen a lot of small trades.

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: You know, Brian Robinson got traded today, Veyle got traded

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: two days ago.

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: Yes, let me throw.

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 4: Something at you real quick. You're younger than me.

38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: Growing up, I paid so much tense to the NFL

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: and even my time that short stint in the NFL,

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: you know, going back twenty years or so, there weren't

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: any trades.

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: There's work.

43
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: They're just absolutely worn't you know. I kind of have

44
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: a theory that younger people, maybe some people between our

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: ages early fifties, that grew up playing Madden. I didn't

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 3: grow up with an Internet and playing fantasy football. I'm

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: sure as twelve year olds Omar Kahn and gms everywhere

48
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: were playing Madden and Fantasy football and making trades like crazy,

49
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: Like why not just.

50
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 4: Take it to the league.

51
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: It's a great question, you know what I mean, Like

52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: the old school Curmudgeons with their cigars were like.

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: They didn't even have free agency back in.

54
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: There, right right, Everything is just kind of the same,

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: you know.

56
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: Now it's like it's a great like a tournament or

57
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: seventh round pick. Oh we on deal, you know, right.

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: Because there is no doubt that there's way more wheeling

59
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 2: and dealing now, even though there was a decade ago.

60
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 4: I mean, every year, I think there's more people using.

61
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: The NFL should promote it. I mean, people love.

62
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: It and that's a big part of it too. And

63
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: I wonder the NFL can't just listen Roger Candell can't

64
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: just sit down and go, hey, you guys gotta start

65
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: making more tree right right and doing more wheeling and dealing.

66
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: But I think that they certainly probably looked around and

67
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: they looked at how popular the NBA trade trade deadline

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: is and the MLB trade deadline.

69
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 4: Even just the NFL deadline so much better than it

70
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 4: used to be.

71
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: It used to be nothing.

72
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: This time of year, there's trades galore, and that never happened.

73
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: You might get like a backup tight end that would

74
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: move for a six round pick. Yeah, that was the

75
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: height of the NFL trade deadline. Now it's big names

76
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: like Amari Cooper right right, you know, Davonte Adams and

77
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: those guys that are getting moved. And that was always

78
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: the case in the other three sports.

79
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, yar stink they're trading everybody. You know, deadline day.

80
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: You know, Pens are trading a first round pick for somebody.

81
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: Of course, twenty those twenty years of the Penguins being

82
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: Cup contenders, that kind of just came to an every

83
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: year they're.

84
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: At, let's go on deadline was pretty awesome.

85
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm making a push for a Stanley Cup here. Let's

86
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: let's add somebody every single year. A lot of trades

87
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: in the NBA all the time, So yeah, I wonder

88
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: if a lot.

89
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: Of it was just it was e grade to me

90
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: as a kid.

91
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: So like that sports too hard to learn on the fly,

92
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: which there's probably something to that. You could just stick

93
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: anyone in right field and they'll fit into their new team.

94
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: And you know what I mean.

95
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Schematics like there is a do you fit in a

96
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: three four defense or do you fit in what we're

97
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: trying to do in our secondary.

98
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: But basketball and hockey you just can't PLoP someone down.

99
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 2: Today, absolutely systems oriented as well.

100
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: Right baseball you can't.

101
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: I mean you come to play by yourself and you

102
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: can play third base on your own, throw at to

103
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: the first baseman.

104
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: But that's a good question.

105
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it, though, is just a

106
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: generational thing. You guys grew up with the Internet. You

107
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: grew up playing Madden, La Crazy, played Fantasy. You make

108
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: a million trades. Like I'm just more open to the

109
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: word trade.

110
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: I think you're spot on. Yeah, I think a lot

111
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: of it is a younger generation. I think a lot

112
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: of it is the realization that, like this is another

113
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: way we can stay at the front, forefront of the

114
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: sports conversation all the time. Yeah, I mean, you know

115
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: you know this, Like it could be October during the

116
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: World Series and DeVante Adams gets traded, and that's the

117
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: number one story that's bigger than Yankee Yankees Dodgers. It's

118
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: Game three of the.

119
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: World Series, unless it's Game seven, it's probably been than

120
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: all of them, and it might be bigger than Game seven.

121
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: The NHL totally right. If DeVante Adamsstrader totally.

122
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: And I think that has all been part of the

123
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: NFL's just pure domination of the sports landscape in this country.

124
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: And another factor I think is analytics, Like I think

125
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: the more nerds, and I mean that in the best

126
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: way possible, you realize the value of a seventh round pick,

127
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: a sixth round pick, like if that turns into Brock

128
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: Party once out of twenty years, it's super worth it.

129
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: You know, let alone Antonio Brown or whatever, right, or

130
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: even a safety, it just makes the team.

131
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: And on the other side of that, it's like, what

132
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: am I really going to hold on to this six

133
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: or seventh round draft pick for next year when I

134
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: think there's a guy right there who can help us?

135
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 4: Now? Yeah, yeah, like Mike Williams didn't work out, and.

136
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: You know, but that's not a disaster.

137
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 4: I didn't cripple the organization or any.

138
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: Were still talking about how it's draft capital they have

139
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: run in the next year. So yeah, rightfully. So yeah,

140
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: and I that's interesting, that's a that's that's a that's

141
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: an interesting point. And I wonder how much of it, too,

142
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: is it's always been like this. Every league is like this,

143
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: but the NFL is the foremost extreme example, not for long,

144
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: like that just fired after one year in this league.

145
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point.

146
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: GMS fired after a year or two in this league.

147
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: It's like I better not sit around and be patient.

148
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: I better go get aggressive and make my team better.

149
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 4: Ru Yeah, should I Should I go get a receiver

150
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: or not? What's gonna don't get fired?

151
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: What's gonna help me keep my job, stay in my house,

152
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: keep my kids in their school district.

153
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 4: Maybe get more fans in the seats. That's never a

154
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: problem here, But that.

155
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: That fifth round pick next year, or a defensive back,

156
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: who's gonna who's gonna who's gonna play thirty forty snaps

157
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: a game.

158
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: For or like you said, Mamari Cooper, that everyone has

159
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 4: heard of their whole life.

160
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: You know, right, exactly right, exactly right now.

161
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: But I definitely think there's a different mindset. And I

162
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: think technology and Madden and I think it's a.

163
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 4: Lot of stuff.

164
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: But that's a good that that's like a good barstool.

165
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

166
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, late night at Sharky's conversation there, I wanted to

167
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: ask you this as well too. I got to any

168
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: and I should have probably done this earlier, but I

169
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: just remembered and looked at my that I wanted to

170
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: ask you this today and wake of the Derek Harmon noose.

171
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: I gotta be careful. I always like, I don't want

172
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: to jinx this. I want to frame it the right way.

173
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: So let's not say, guys, you can't lose most valuable stealers. Okay,

174
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: and I know I'm kind of putting you on the

175
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: spot here, but now you're not your top three, top five.

176
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: I'm not going to and I hope Dale doesn't mind.

177
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: But we do this exercise every year, and we did

178
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: it right before OTAs okay, when we were when Dale

179
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: and I were doing regular shows.

180
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: So basically right before everything everything had happened except for

181
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: Ramsey and John U for Minca, right right.

182
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: So we built a list a homework assignment from Professor

183
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: Lawley Williamson. Go, I got a text. You got an

184
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: assignment for tomorrow. Put your top twenty five Steelers in order,

185
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: not how good they are or who's your best friend?

186
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: Who can you not afford to loose most valuable? Most valuable?

187
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 3: You know, like he had Rodert Jones higher than people

188
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: that are better football players than him. Correct, You know

189
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: that makes find of sense and then unfortunately we have

190
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: Dale and I haven't been on the radio really since

191
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: right after the Ramsey trade, We're like, let's do another

192
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: one next week or after.

193
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: OTAs recurring exercise.

194
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: So I think I did, I know I did mine.

195
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: I haven't looked at it forever, But like before the

196
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: Ramsey trade, I.

197
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: Had Porter really high in the list, as you should have.

198
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: Right, and like right now I feel better about Eccles

199
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: now than I did then training camps. I mean we've

200
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: seen a lot, there's a lot more, Dad Way, I mean,

201
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 3: I definitely would change my list no matter what, but

202
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 3: there was there's more to go off of, and they

203
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: have different people on the team. Jaylen Ramsey exists of course,

204
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: so like I would raise my tackles, you.

205
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: Might have had Friarmouth higher on the list than you

206
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: would now with the addition to John Newsmith, right.

207
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: And Washington was definitely in my top twenty five, and

208
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: you know, like the tight ends are going to drop

209
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: for sure, tackles would go up. Metcalf being inactive yesterday

210
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: screams that they agree with me. He's really high on

211
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: the list, like maybe higher than Cam Hayward.

212
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 4: You know, like you know what I mean?

213
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know my original list. I don't remember

214
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: my revised list.

215
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: I had Rogers won and that's almost like a.

216
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 4: Jail didn't but I think he had him too.

217
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: I feel like you have to have Aaron or TJ

218
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: one and two.

219
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't.

220
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: We didn't have Cam best player, but we've done him

221
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: even like during the season, and Cam Hayward was.

222
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: Really high last year as show. We saw the splits on.

223
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: The field defense in the NFL when he's on the field,

224
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: worst in the league when he's off there.

225
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: And he's pretty good against past you know what I mean,

226
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: Like when.

227
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 4: We did it last year at this time, Picking was

228
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 4: really really high. Absolutely well, what happens if you lose Pickens?

229
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: We saw it and it wasn't pretty absolutely right, right right.

230
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that he's better than DJ or.

231
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: High Smith to lose him lists right, Like high Smith's

232
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: a great player.

233
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 4: I don't think I'll have him super high.

234
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: You like depth behind him?

235
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.

236
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: DK is a great example in this analogy.

237
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 5: He's like the poster boy for this converse poster boyrid

238
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 5: conversation and whereas like you're all three of the running

239
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 5: backs are probably pretty low in these rankings because there's

240
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 5: not a.

241
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: Warren might be the only one in the top twenty

242
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: five at this point. There's no Johnson was in my twenty.

243
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: Both are top twenty times. But we hadn't really even

244
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: He's never been tackled before. And when we did the list,

245
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like he had never even

246
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: put pads on yet we watched him as a draft pick.

247
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 3: So the first time we did the list, he was

248
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: definitely in both our top twenty fives, but he wouldn't

249
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: be mine.

250
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 4: Now, I don't think the intriguing twenty five seems like

251
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: a ton.

252
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: It's a lot, but you can get through it pretty quickly,

253
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: especially because like Boswall's on that.

254
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 4: Oh Boss was high, was high on that right, right, right?

255
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: I mean all five O linemen for sure, Yes, three

256
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: tight ends probably, yes, Metcalf.

257
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: Right there already is double digits, right.

258
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: I think I had Rudolph at twenty five, Okay, like

259
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 3: just like, yeah, I don't want to. I'd never seen

260
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: Skyler in a uniform, and and Howard.

261
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 4: Was a draft pick, hadn't even been a training camp

262
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 4: like this.

263
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: I don't want Rudolph of getting hurt. See, they could

264
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: win zero games. Knowing what I know about these other

265
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks, quarters gets hurt, you know, right.

266
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 2: The real question to me now, Boss is on the

267
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 2: list one hundred. He might be top ten.

268
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 4: He was for me.

269
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 2: The big question for me now is because I feel

270
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: like ninety nine percent of people, whatever order you want

271
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: to put him in, would have Rogers and Watt one

272
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: and two. Yeah, Watch is so great you could make

273
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: a good faith argument for both. One one is the

274
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: quarterback and it's the most important edition in sports. The

275
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: other guy is your best player, and you're like one

276
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: and eleven over the last couple of years when he

277
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: doesn't play, Yeah, might be three and that like he

278
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: might And that's the real intriguing eight. To me, he's

279
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: number three because.

280
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, Tomlin rested those three in cam Hayward.

281
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: And I think very easily you could absolutely put Cam

282
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: Hayward there. But maybe with the emergence of y A.

283
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: Black and the draft and with Derek Harmon like.

284
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 4: Nothing about Black at the time other than we liked

285
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 4: the pick out.

286
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: Of Iowa, it might be DK third.

287
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: And I think it is, you know, I mean again,

288
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: this is these are my official answers, but I think

289
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: it is.

290
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: They not start getting into o lineman heavy heavy. I mean,

291
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: Fraser's high in the list too. Fraser's very high on

292
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 4: the really high on the list.

293
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 3: It would get bad quick without him McCullum at him

294
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: coming off an awful day, but he also hadn't played

295
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: in a while.

296
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: To who's very very very high.

297
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: I mean Ramsey will be would be up there, but

298
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: I think you'd get to some of those offensive linemen

299
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: before him.

300
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not saying he's they're better than Ramsey, but.

301
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: You feel better about the depth at that position. Even

302
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: as as you and I think and know that Ramsey's

303
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: gonna be ye, you still do really feel confident in

304
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: the depth. It's certainly infinitely more than the offensive line

305
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 2: absolutely example.

306
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: Right, like I can lose a offensive lineman, but you

307
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: start losing two trouble. I mean, if you lose Jones

308
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: and Faltanu.

309
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 4: Oh No.

310
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: I had that conversation with Kinger this morning. He was

311
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: saying to me that he feels better now a month

312
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: later across the board than he did going into training camp.

313
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: And I said, the one area I would push back

314
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: with you is the offensive lineman or sorry, he said

315
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: me to then this timeline. He said, I feel better

316
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: about every group now than I did this time last year.

317
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: And I said, I said, I feel better starting five.

318
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 2: I said, but I certainly feel like last year. I

319
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: thought they had eight, you know, starting capable NFL offensive

320
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: line and Frasier's.

321
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: An unknown and Faltano's an unknown. That and McCormick. It

322
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: was like, I really wish they had one or two

323
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: of those on the bench right now.

324
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: And you said three starting tackles if you include.

325
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 3: Dan more like Daniels. I mean, Daniels is a starting

326
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 3: right guard all day long.

327
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: Free agent, a couple you know three years ago when

328
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: they signed him.

329
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 3: But I'll take this starting five over any since the

330
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: Pouncy days. Agreed, no question, but that the scariest spend

331
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: a while.

332
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: And that's that's why I said to King, and I said,

333
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: if you lose one guy, you can maintain the boat.

334
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: But if you lose two, then it starts to be

335
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: it starts to look like the wide receiver room did

336
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: last year on the stretch. And you're really rach and you.

337
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: Like Siamalu, but if you lost him, we've seen so

338
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: much with the five with Anderson, Okay, I can maybe

339
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: even lose another if one of them's Seamalou or McCormick,

340
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: and Anderson's boom.

341
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 4: He's a guard.

342
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: He's kind of a six starter, So tackles feel like, oh,

343
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: you need sixteen or seventeen games out of those guys.

344
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: I mean, back to our conversation with your top twenty five,

345
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: all three of them are definitely in the top ten,

346
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: maybe top seven, you know, like after those Jones versus

347
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: Ramsey's a conversation, yes, because even like if you love Queen,

348
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: you love Peyton Wilson, Cole Holcomb, the world still spins

349
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: without them, Yes, yeah, right right, no doubt. Elliott's a

350
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: good player, Thornhill's a good player. I don't love Clark,

351
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: but they're so and we'll make up for Ramsey, we'll

352
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: play more. Blah blah blah. You know, I love Benton.

353
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: I'm excited about both the rookie d linemen. But you

354
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 3: can withstand it, you know, Yeah, I mean I had

355
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: her big on the list. I don't know if he'd

356
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: be still on my top twenty five. Interesting he was low,

357
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: he was like twenty four something like that, but.

358
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: He was only real like trusted depth at yeah, at

359
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: that point.

360
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, and it was like he's really good and

361
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: he might have eight saxes here, might you know what

362
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 3: I mean? We haven't seen him all in the preseason

363
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: on purpose basically, right, they know what they got that guy?

364
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: He could really have a bit.

365
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 4: Maybe that's something we'll do next week. Well, I think

366
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 4: we'll build our list.

367
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: I think that's a good exercise. Let's do some around

368
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: the league stuff, some bigger picture stuff when we return.

369
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: Two more segments to go here on this Friday, heading

00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 2: It's my favorite spectator sport.

390
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna let you down with how little I

391
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: know during this season about college That's.

392
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: Fine, that's fine, and I'll be fair to you. I

393
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 2: feel like every year I know a little bit less

394
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: of college football.

395
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 4: I knew a lot more at your age I do now.

396
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 4: And kids have a lot to do with it.

397
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: Kids have a lot to do with it. Transfer portal

398
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: in the current state of college footb I mean, guys

399
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: are a program for a year, then they go somewhere else.

400
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: Like it's hard to know the rosters like you used to. Yeah,

401
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: and just so much of my professional and personal life

402
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 2: is consumed by the NFL.

403
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely like you probably travel on some Saturdays.

404
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, yeah, Saturdays. You know, I'm

405
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: not sitting there for twelve hours like I used to

406
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: because I'm flying to wherever the Steelers are playing, or

407
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: I'm going to the WVU game if they're home in

408
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: Morgantown and the Steelers are home on Sunday type thing,

409
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 2: you know.

410
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 3: So real quick, and we'll get into some college stuff here.

411
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 3: But like I'm not sure everybody else knows this too,

412
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: Like I hope Pitt wins, but I don't really care

413
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 3: if they don't, you know, to be honest with you.

414
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 4: And that's kind of how it was, Like every pit

415
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 4: fan in the universe.

416
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 3: So like you can, unless I was working for them

417
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: at the time, then I care a lot.

418
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: Livelihood and everything depends on And I grew.

419
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: Up watching Marino and Ironhead and those guys, and I

420
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 3: hope they win. But if I missed the game on

421
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: Saturday to go play street hockey's with my bud.

422
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 4: We played street hockey, you know what I mean. Whereas

423
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: like I was, but I would never.

424
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 3: Miss a snap of the Steelers or any NFL. I mean,

425
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: like if the NFL played every night, I would have

426
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: watched that and never left that rose, you know, no

427
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: matter what.

428
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 4: I was an NFL first guy.

429
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: I think I've told you this before. Like football to

430
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: me growing up was a Saturday thing.

431
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I mean.

432
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: It was a Sunday we would all we would all

433
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: come home from church and have our terrible towels and

434
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 2: watch the Stillers. All right, make no mistake about it,

435
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: of course, but we were a football was a Saturday thing,

436
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 2: like my My grandpa had WU season tickets and an

437
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 2: RV and a huge tailgate for years, Like my mom

438
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: and I would go down on Friday nights, stay in

439
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: the RV, tailgate all day Saturday, go to the games

440
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: type type thing. So I mean, it is it's a

441
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: it's a good it's a good balance. I think that

442
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: we we might have in that regard.

443
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 3: And really, basically since I was employed by a college team,

444
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 3: College to me is just all about the draft. You're like,

445
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: if I'm watching a game Saturday, or definitely when I'm

446
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: in Deep Creek with my buds watching Texas Ohio, I'm

447
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 3: going to be watching four draft reasons. I don't care

448
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 3: who wins unless I put money on it or root

449
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 3: against my back.

450
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 2: In Ohio State, there's gonna be a dozen guys drafted

451
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: maybe more, that are playing.

452
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: Of these brouglar lists, and I'm gonna be like, oh,

453
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: they got a safety. I'm at least going to pay

454
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: attention to twenty seven out there, you know, just to

455
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: get a glimpse. But on Saturdays during the season, it's

456
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: not on at my house as much as you think.

457
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 2: That's like you're unplugged from football day, right, like the

458
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: one day a week you unplugged from.

459
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: Now my kids are like going to college. I might

460
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 4: start putting it on.

461
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 2: More, put on the Kentucky game every Saturday.

462
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: But he's like going everywhere now he's visiting Georgia to

463
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: watch Kentucky Georgian blah blah blah.

464
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: I love it.

465
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 4: But like when my kids were like, you're aging up

466
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: through you know little. I mean they're doing sports and.

467
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 3: Stuff or it's the typical bed bathroom beyond day two

468
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: and you know that type of thing too, Like yeah,

469
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: you gotta go grocery shopping. But yeah, but if I

470
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: watch a game, I would know who the prospects are.

471
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 3: That's my biggest reason to watch.

472
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 2: Quick side story for you when you talk about your

473
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 2: son traveler around from.

474
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 4: Got all lined up?

475
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: Man? Did I ever tell you?

476
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: Uh?

477
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: And I won't go too far into detail to bore

478
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 2: our listeners, but the time that me and my boys

479
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: drove from Morgantown to Baton Rouge when WVU played. Wow.

480
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: Wow.

481
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: This was my sophomore year of college and we did.

482
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 2: We had a home and home with LSU. So they

483
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 2: came to Morgantown my junior year, Tyron, Matthew Matamore, all

484
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: those guys. They lost to Alabama in the national championship.

485
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 2: They were outstanding sophomore year. So it's a Saturday game, right,

486
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 2: it's like an eighteen or nineteen hour drive.

487
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 4: My next question, as you can imagine fifteen plus.

488
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: So we left Friday morning, Friday afternoon maybe like noonish,

489
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: eighteen hour drive.

490
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 4: They might have.

491
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: You know, we got the we got the notes to

492
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: take home from club, We got the work, you know,

493
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: like when you were sick in high school or in

494
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 2: middle school and the teacher would.

495
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: Send your work home, bring your stuff, bring your stuff home.

496
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: Two of my roommates were on the rugby team at WVU,

497
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: so they had a WV rugby like fifteen passenger van,

498
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 2: if that makes sense, and we were able to somehow

499
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 2: get that van from the rugby team. So like nine

500
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: of us, nine of us in this van go down.

501
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 3: With like like like an old school hippie movie in

502
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: the van with no change of clothes.

503
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 4: Wow.

504
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean, and again you know we're we're nineteen twenty

505
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: twenty one years old. We're like wearing the clothes. I mean,

506
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: some people might rock a hoodie here extra, but like

507
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 2: we're wearing. We're going right there Saturday to tailgate and

508
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 2: go to the game and then getting right back in

509
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: the car. And we had no hotel, rooms, had a shower,

510
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: we had we had beer and energy drinks in the

511
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: in the in the car and that was and somebody

512
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: we only stopped and we needed gas and somebody was

513
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 2: always driving like that was the And so we got

514
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: to baton rouge at like ten a.

515
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 3: Short tailgate Friday at noon the second you got in

516
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: the car, correct, correct.

517
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: And we met the LSU rugby team at their tailgate,

518
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 2: tailgated all day Saturday, went to the game, got back

519
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: in the car, and drove back. That's what college is

520
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 2: all about, the energy to do it then too exactly

521
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: right and fath it's like someone can drive for three

522
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: or four hours and everyone's sleep, Yeah, rotated around and everything.

523
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 2: And we got to stop for gas the next time.

524
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 3: But with that, Oh, lastly, I say this every year

525
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 3: about this time, but I'm going to play pay more

526
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 3: attention to college than ever, and I kinda do. But

527
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: this year, with the Steeler quarterback situation, that's exactly where

528
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,239
Speaker 3: I was going. Yeah, yeah, like, I definitely will. I

529
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: know the names. There's eight to ten of them that

530
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: are getting at least first two day consideration as it

531
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 3: stands now, I know all of them. I've read up

532
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: on them, I've watched some highlights, but I can't wait

533
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: for Like, if Baylor's on, I'm gonna put it on

534
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: like I never would have anyway, Indiana if they're if

535
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: they're on, I'm gonna put it on South Carolina right absolutely, No,

536
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 3: A year ago I might I wouldn't, you know, right right, yeah.

537
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of Steeler fans are going

538
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: to be in that boat.

539
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 4: I think I urge them to.

540
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 2: Be casual college fans who want to watch the quarterbacks,

541
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: or die ard college fans who are going to be

542
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: now watching the quarterbacks with their black and gold glasses on.

543
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: Yes, I urge everyone to do exactly that.

544
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: And so I figured we could kick some names out

545
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: there for people to kind of keep an eye on

546
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: as college football gets.

547
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 4: We and we need to hit it heavy too week

548
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 4: by week.

549
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: You know, I'm you know him, and I think you'll

550
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: be completely willing to do that.

551
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 4: Ye. Yeah. The name, how did sellers do this week?

552
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: You know, five ten minute segment that we could do

553
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: once a week.

554
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 4: Oh at least.

555
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: The name that everybody knows and that is at the

556
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: forefront of this conversation is Arch Manning. Of course, the

557
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 2: next the next Manning in line quarterback of Texas, and

558
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: he's so intrigued. I mean, all eyes are going to

559
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: be on that Texas Ohio State game next next Saturday,

560
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: you know, eight days from now, with probably twenty guys

561
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: thirty guys on that field who will play in the

562
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: NFL at some point in their lives.

563
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: Are they both top five like this a little? I

564
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: know they both top five ranked? Yes, okay, I think

565
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 3: Texas has won or two and I assume they can't

566
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 3: go any further than five.

567
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 2: Yes, even, I mean they just won the national championship

568
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: and they I'm sure they're still Arch is gonna be

569
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 2: very intriguing for me to watch this year because we

570
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: know he's got the talent, the pedigree. He was an

571
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: incredible recruit. But Matt everybody is already penciling him in.

572
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: Is the number one overall pick in the draft next year.

573
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: He started two games in his career. That's it.

574
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 3: And I do listen to a lot of draft podcasts,

575
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: Todd mcshay's, et cetera.

576
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: You know people I used to work with, et cetera.

577
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: Do the Dane Bruglers exactly that year.

578
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: Round And the coverage is getting better and better year

579
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 3: round for draft stuff.

580
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 4: A lot of people think he won't come out. Two

581
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 4: uncles didn't.

582
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: Grandpa Arch said he's going back and he's gonna make

583
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: a top.

584
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: Million dollars if he has a good year this year

585
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: and goes back to Texas, gonna make ten twelve million dollars.

586
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 4: So what if the Saints get the overall pick and

587
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: you get to follow grandfather? That's pretty you know what

588
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 4: I mean, Like that is pretty cool totally. But if

589
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 4: the Browns get the first round pick, like, maybe I'll

590
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 4: just go back and have a pretty good life, right,

591
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: Or if you lose a national championship, how'd he come out?

592
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: Right?

593
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: But if you win the national championship and when the

594
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: Heisman like doesn't get much better much.

595
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: You can't go any better than first overall in the draft.

596
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 4: Right from what I've seen, he's a remarkable talent.

597
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: Remarkable talent, And if we are in on the North

598
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 2: Shore in April and he's the first overall pick in

599
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 2: the draft, it wouldn't shock me. But I also think

600
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: a lot of people are putting that cart before the

601
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 2: horse for a guy that he only has two starts

602
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: in his collegiate career.

603
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: But you don't think, well, maybe you do. If his

604
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 3: last name was Williamson or Yuler, he'd still get dis buzzed.

605
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: I don't think he'd be the consensus number one, but

606
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: he could still be high on the list. Absolutely, his talent,

607
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: his talent pedigree coming out of high school, and he

608
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: could go on to any college that he wanted to.

609
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 4: And unlike the uncles, he can really run. He's he's

610
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 4: and his dad was a wide receiver. His grandfather was

611
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 4: a great athlete.

612
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: For people don't know, he's six four, he's got the size,

613
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: he's got the speed and the agility, and obviously raised

614
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 2: in a football family with the game brain. He's throw

615
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: ninety five.

616
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 3: Passes in his entire college careers, so he is that's

617
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: kind of how to respect the yours correct, Yes, yes,

618
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 3: the only he's probably better player than.

619
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 4: Yours, I think, so who knows? Was a good college

620
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 4: the NFL.

621
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: Or Texas was in the semi final of the National

622
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: They've won the SEC their first year in the SEC.

623
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 4: That's incredible, incredible.

624
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they were a Jack Sawyer strip sack

625
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: and you know, strip six away from potentially going to

626
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: overtime in the semi final against the National champions. So

627
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: they were legit second third best team in college football

628
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: as they could have won it all absolutely if they

629
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 2: would have been Ohio State in the semi final. I

630
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: bet you they beat Notre Dame in the Natty just

631
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 2: like Ohio State.

632
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, yeah, I think by the end of.

633
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 3: The sea they didn't do anything wrong by manning by

634
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 3: playing I mean they were.

635
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: I think by the end of the season Texas and

636
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: Ohio State, where they were the best teams college football.

637
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: It kind of felt like that semi final could be

638
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: the national championship game in a way, and then it

639
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 2: ended up playing out that way. Not that Notre Dame

640
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: and Penn State were schlubs, but I think Ohio's to

641
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: Day and Texas were just on a different level.

642
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 4: Real quick.

643
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 3: One thing I did hear about Notre Dame is they

644
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 3: have the number one running back love. Yes, that if

645
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: he doesn't get hurt, maybe they make that more of

646
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 3: a conversation too.

647
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 4: Like he's a bijon gent I understand.

648
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Leonora Seller's number two on this Dame Brugler list,

649
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 2: and he is like just think Jayden Daniels type like

650
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: dynamic act yes, smart above the shoulders, good arm, dynamic athlete.

651
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 4: Yes.

652
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: And is it South Carolina where? I mean he's got

653
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: to put the Superman cape on from time? You know,

654
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: he's not at Texas, Sir Georgia or Ohio State. South

655
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 2: Carolina is not a schlub program. But he doesn't have

656
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: a bunch of other you know, five star first round

657
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: pana correct. So he's a very intriguing one to me.

658
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 3: So my experienceial kick in here. Mike's watching Sellers won't.

659
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 3: But I always listened to a ton of podcasts. I

660
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: did twelve hours of riding back and forth of Kentucky

661
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 3: two days ago, and did it hit the quarterbacks hard?

662
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: Just listening to mcshae and Brugler and a couple of

663
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: these dudes their podcasts and like Sellers to me is

664
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 3: the perfect example of Steelers fans going ooh, yeah, that's

665
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: the guy.

666
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: I want, and then like jumps off the screen, right.

667
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: And then you get like two months before the draft

668
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: and you're like, that's gonna be the first pick in

669
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 3: the draft, dude, Like of course you.

670
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 4: Want him, but like it's easy to say that now,

671
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 4: but like he could be he gonna go twenty.

672
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: He could be the first overall pick in the draft.

673
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: He could be very easy. I mean he may fall off.

674
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: They all these guys could fall off and someone will

675
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 3: come I know you where I think that goes out

676
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: saying but I even think mcsha said something like he

677
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: might be the strongest quarterback I've ever seen. Rothlisberger hard

678
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: to get down in the pocket or Josh Allen hard

679
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 3: to get down as a runner.

680
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: Just strength.

681
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 3: Yes, he's he's not as tall as Josh, but he's

682
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: as thick and maybe stronger.

683
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: You know, you go back and watch his Clemson tape

684
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: last year. I mean, they their entire game plan was

685
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: to slow him down and they couldn't.

686
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 4: And I'm sure with that's whole how this whole season

687
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 4: will be.

688
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: I guess they have a stud receiver, though they do

689
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 3: they do like a future really high picked receiver.

690
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, there could be some like Johnny Manziel Mike Evans

691
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: when they were at Texas, A and M. And I

692
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: think the Nor Snellers is much better pro prospect than

693
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: Johnny Manzel. But get what I'm seeing. South Carolina won't

694
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: have the the dudes that Georgia and Bama and Texas

695
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: and LSU have for the W but they'll have the

696
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: quarterback and the might be able to you know, to

697
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: take those.

698
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: Guys with anybody.

699
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, staying in the sec Garrett Nussmeyer l s U.

700
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 2: He to me is the biggest wild card in this equation,

701
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: really okay. I think he could be a top one, two, three,

702
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: four pick. I think he could also fall to Jackson.

703
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 4: Dart territory understood.

704
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: I do think he has a lot of up side,

705
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: but I think there's man, there's been this avalanche of

706
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: really good LSU quarterbacks and offensive players, and Brian Kelly

707
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: has a great reputation for getting quarterbacks ready that I

708
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: think he might be be a little again, still gonna

709
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: be a first round pick. Good prospect, but he's a

710
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: He's an interesting one to me because if he goes

711
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: top three, top five in the draft, it wouldn't surprise me.

712
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: But if he like falls down into the twenties or

713
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: even early second round Jalen Hurts territory, I don't think

714
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: that would shock me either.

715
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: Okay, and I'm sure that's true for almost all these guys.

716
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 3: From this point, so much can change.

717
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: No One was talking about Kenny Pickett before his.

718
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: Last year, of course, and I give a million Baker

719
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: was not doing me the first overall pick.

720
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 4: I mean there's a million.

721
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: I just gonna say. People were talking about Sam Darnold

722
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: like he was a foe gone conclusion, and then Baker

723
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: ends up going.

724
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 4: First tank for two and the third pick.

725
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: That perfect example.

726
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 3: So going into this through Steeler scouting, I want a

727
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: big guy off, you know, and that worries me a

728
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 3: little about.

729
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: Nus is six six foot six and a half.

730
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 3: He's just he's not Ben, you know, I mean, the

731
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 3: playing elements here, it's not a deal breaker. I may

732
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: fall in love with this guy, but I went somebody

733
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 3: with a lot of meat on his bones and there's

734
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 3: a physical presence and I'm not sure that's him, but

735
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: his dad's the offensive coordinator for the Saints too.

736
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 4: By the way.

737
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 3: I mean, like you talking about pedigree with like Manning.

738
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: If it wasn't a Manning draft, you'd be talking about Well,

739
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: NUS's dad's like a big time cod Yeah right.

740
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 2: He was molded and born into this too.

741
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.

742
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: And then number four on this list is the guy

743
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: we talked about. We've talked about that, I've been tweeting.

744
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get ahead of this for the last

745
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 2: for the last few weeks and months here Fernando Mendoza, Indiana. Now,

746
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: he was not Indiana's quarterback last year when they you know,

747
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: had their best season in sixty years and went to

748
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff and all that.

749
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 4: But that quarterbacks in the league down to that.

750
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks in the league two. He was at Washington State

751
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: last year. For those who kind of follow the college

752
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: football scene, if you will, maybe you remember him from there.

753
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: But he's got the prototypical body type and traits that

754
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: you want. Six five, two twenty.

755
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 4: Five moves well from what I understand.

756
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be a big year for him because

757
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: I mean going from Washington State, where I mean you're

758
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: playing the tattered remnants of the Pac twelve and the

759
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: you know what, I mean, it's not It's not USC

760
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: and Oregon in Utah anymore. Now it is going to

761
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: be Ohio. And I don't know exactly all the teams

762
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: that Indiana's playing, but Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State,

763
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: I mean, some real teams with some real prospects them.

764
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: But exactly right, He's the one to me that everyone's

765
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: talking about arch Manning. Everyone knows Leonora's Sellars and nuss Meyer,

766
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 2: those names. He's the one that I think, rapidly, like

767
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: by October, will be in the middle of a lot

768
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: of these conversations.

769
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 4: Yeah. Again, I keep referencing McShay.

770
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 3: He put out a mock two or three weeks ago

771
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 3: and had him go in twenty first to the Steelers.

772
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I think I think I quote tweeted it

773
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: and was like, here we go. It's spreads.

774
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,479
Speaker 3: I'm starting to pick up and Signetti the head coach

775
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: in Indiana has a wonderful reputation as he does, and

776
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: his dad is a I up legend.

777
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 4: It just so happens the Indiana thing.

778
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, so there's some ties, you know, but he's

779
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: definitely somebody like I will watch Indiana football.

780
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 2: Same here, and I did a little bit last year.

781
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to watch. I'm gonna go on my

782
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 4: way too.

783
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 2: And I think like a couple more that we should mention.

784
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: Drew Aller definitely deserves a mention. He knows him around here,

785
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: right down the right, down the road. He's an intriguing

786
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: He's another one of those guys. If he ended up

787
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: going to the top ten, it wouldn't shock me. If

788
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 2: he's big, strong, Yeah, if he's in the you know,

789
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 2: thirty to fifty range, it wouldn't shock me because he's

790
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: got a lot of the stuff that you that you

791
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: can't teach. Absolutely, and kid klub Nick from Clemson is

792
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: as well too, is a very intriguing one.

793
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 3: Many people I respect Manning aside have him won. Yes, interesting,

794
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: and there's other names too, Like I mean, it's a

795
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 3: really deep draft. It sounds like Clemson is loaded.

796
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: Clemson's loaded. Clemson could be very good this year. I

797
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: think they should win the ACC. You know, I don't

798
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: want to say comfortably, but like they should win the

799
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: ACC without a doubt. But yeah, that's the that's kind

800
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: of the fun part to me. Of again, as you mentioned,

801
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: I love college football. It's like my favorite spectator sport.

802
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 2: But in a year where it feels like the Steelers

803
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: are going to be heavy in the quarterback market, man,

804
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: this is really a year to sink your teeth into

805
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: these prospects.

806
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 3: The other names I think are worth noting that I've

807
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 3: heard there's a lot of buzz about Carson Beck at

808
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 3: Georgia and didn't go well at the end and things

809
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 3: kind of soured. But we weren't talking about cam Ward

810
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: at Miami last year either, So there's some people thinking

811
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: this could be a really good move for Beck, that

812
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: he could get his hat back in the ring, so

813
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 3: to speak. And Oklahoma and Arizona State each have a guy,

814
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: as does Baylor. And I should know the names, ill

815
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 3: thought my head, and I don't. I mean, they're probably

816
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 3: on the list, yeah yeah, yeah, And but those are

817
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 3: the other guys that are strongly getting first round type.

818
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: Buzz Soria Robinson from Baylor.

819
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 3: Yes, he lit up the Manning camp. He did this

820
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 3: past week. A couple of weeks ago.

821
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: He did. Carson Beck is probably a name that people

822
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 2: are familiar with. Started as a real high pedigree recruit

823
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: at Georgia, now he's at Miami. He's lost some of

824
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,959
Speaker 2: the shine around him, but can he get it back,

825
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: you know, this year potentially. And then Baron Morton at

826
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 2: Texas Tech is a very very interesting one.

827
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 4: To make it super talented.

828
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 2: They paid a gazillion dollars to get him there. I

829
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 2: don't know if you've seen this, but I think other

830
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 2: than Ohio State and Texas A and M, I think

831
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: Texas Tech has the third most expensive roster in college

832
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: football this year.

833
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 4: Just oil money.

834
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: It's they they have. They have ann an alumnus who

835
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: hit it big in the oil market and just donated

836
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 2: like three hundred million dollars to the school college.

837
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 4: It's like an unlimited salary.

838
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 2: Know, if I hit it big and became a billionaire,

839
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: I'd be doing the same thing. But Texas Tech is

840
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 2: one of those kind of like, all right, you better

841
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 2: make some noise and at least make the playoff this year.

842
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: The pressure is on down there.

843
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 3: I know they kept an edge rusher that is a star.

844
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: You know, that's another first round guy that would have

845
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 3: went somewhere.

846
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 2: Else, exactly right.

847
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 4: If you scroll down a little.

848
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 3: They're not there are other not a draft eligible. Arizona

849
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: State in Oklahoma are the two names I should know.

850
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 4: Guy.

851
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 2: His name is Meter is his last name, and John

852
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: mad part of me. He comes over front.

853
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 4: He looks like a full back.

854
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: He looks like a fullback.

855
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 4: He's just like this thick strong has kind of a baker.

856
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 3: Yes, he's talking about the Oklahoma quarterbacks like they have

857
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 3: like one.

858
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: He was the one at Washington State.

859
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 4: Part of me, Okay, I say, I think came from

860
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 4: U c l A.

861
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 2: From U c l A. Sorry, I got them, I

862
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 2: got them, I got them mixed up. But yeah, Mayor

863
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 2: was at Washington State last year, had a really good year,

864
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 2: and he's.

865
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 4: Now he's doing to Oklahoma and stepping it up.

866
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 2: He's going to Oklahoma, which, hey, Lincoln Riley's not there anymore,

867
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: but Oklahoma has still had that kind of quarterback factory.

868
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: Guan the amount of guy ye oh my god, Dylan

869
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: Gabriel was there, you know, even someone like Lanyler Williams.

870
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams was there. Landry Jones was a draft pick.

871
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 3: I mean they've I mentioned Williams, Baker and Murray. They're

872
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: all first overall picks.

873
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 2: Like, yes, they had two of them won the Heisman

874
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 2: in a row.

875
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 3: You know, like all of those badass Texas quarterbacks there

876
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 3: the guys that grew up.

877
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: And again even going back to like Landry Jones and

878
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: Sam Bradford and like they have put quarterbacks into the NFL,

879
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: and so I think he might be getting a little

880
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: buzz off of that. And Oklahoma's head coach now is

881
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: Brent Vnables, who's a defensive mind, not Lincoln Riley, but

882
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: he certainly does.

883
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 4: Again, it's time program.

884
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: There's ten or eleven quarterbacks that if they ended up

885
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: being first round picks, wouldn't shock me.

886
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 4: And the Arizona State was the last name I would know.

887
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, love it, love it yep.

888
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 4: And they got a big time receiver.

889
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: And there's there's a Nico Lema Villa, Yeah, who transferred

890
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 2: to u C l.

891
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 3: A all that from Tennessee with the money and he

892
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: was like holding out for more money or something.

893
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 2: Yes, And even honestly someone like Eli Holstein from pitt

894
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: who had an insane star almost up.

895
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 4: But I watched them a couple of times, Like he's

896
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 4: got tools.

897
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: He's got tools.

898
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, if he he looked like a four or five

899
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 4: star recruits.

900
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 2: He went to Alabama, BAA, there's a reason he went

901
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: to Alabama.

902
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: He's like a.

903
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 3: Perfect example of the guy that he's probably a mide

904
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 3: round pick, and then we're talking about him and the process.

905
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 3: I just do know the process works. It's like he

906
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 3: went twentieth overall exactly right.

907
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: So again something will keep an.

908
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 4: Eye on and just looks like a great class.

909
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 2: You if you're a Steelers fan, man, there could be

910
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: like I said, ten guys that could be a first

911
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 2: round quarterback pick. And that's a good place to be

912
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 2: when you're gonna be. You want, like you said, you

913
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 2: want to be fishing in waters with a lot of.

914
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 3: Fish and folks. The Steelers knew this. I mean, this

915
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: was all part of the plan. Maybe not five years

916
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 3: ago they didn't know, but a year ago. Should we

917
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 3: take a shot on or whatever, or trade up for

918
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: or make dark to pick or should we just build

919
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 3: the lines. Well, let's build the lines and sign a guy,

920
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 3: and then next year we're gonna go after somebody hard.

921
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: Let's build the nest yep, and they'll strike when it's

922
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: time to strike.

923
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 4: YEP. It's all part of the plan.

924
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: We are way over due for a part.

925
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 4: What's the longest segment ever?

926
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is this the most college football that's

927
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: ever been talked in one segment on.

928
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 3: The draft that was not draft leading up to the draft.

929
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: Draft is different than college will totally, but we also correlated.

930
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: A great point. Great point. We'll have a quick wrap

931
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 2: up on the other side to close this thing down

932
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: for today and for this week. But Matt Williams said,

933
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,880

Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit of let college football have some

943
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: shine in there as well, to get your last weekends

944
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: in with the family and all that good stuff.

945
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 3: But I bet there's a minor or major even trade

946
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 3: in the next three four days. Absolutely, there seems like

947
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 3: there's a trade every day anymore.

948
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, all these kids and they're mad.

949
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 3: Right, football kids and growing up with the Internet, spoiled Internet.

950
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 2: Hey, you'll like this like I used to still buy

951
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 2: like the Phil Steele and the Street and Smith's Athlon,

952
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 2: like Matt preview magazines when I was a kid before,

953
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: you know, because I dial up internet. When I was

954
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: a kid, it wasn't obviously what it is now.

955
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 4: Paper's blue Book. I read every word over and over.

956
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: We would stop every summer we'd go to Hilton Head

957
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 2: and I would make my parents stop at like a

958
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 2: gas station or a Barnes and Noble, and I would

959
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: get all the preview magazines. And I had just ten

960
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 2: hours drive. I did college ones more, the college ones more,

961
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 2: but I get like one NFL and like three college ones. Yeah,

962
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: that was like my that was my balance.

963
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 4: I think a trading camp.

964
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 3: I told you the airport story where yeah, by my

965
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 3: favorite one I ever found was at the airport.

966
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 2: My mom like to meet him, like a magazine story

967
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 2: stands at the airport.

968
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

969
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 2: Uh, speaking of trades, one of the biggest that could happen.

970
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons, I don't want to think this is getting

971
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 2: uglier and ugly.

972
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, from what I understand, I know people know when

973
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,479
Speaker 4: we went to Penn State and he's.

974
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: From hershey blah, like when he sets his mind and

975
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 3: something he does it, and it sounds like he set

976
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 3: his mind on this. You know, we kind of heard

977
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: the same thing from Miles Garrett not long ago. And

978
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 3: then they said, how about forty million? He said, all right,

979
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 3: sign me up. Sure this at different Yeah, and Jerry's.

980
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 2: And Jerry is just going scorched earth with all these

981
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: quotes too.

982
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: I mean he's like my dad where he doesn't carre

983
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 3: anybody thinks anymore. You get to that age like I'm successful,

984
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 3: like who cares. I'm just gonna do what I want.

985
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 3: It's my team him. It's worth billions and you're.

986
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 2: Worth millions, exactly right, exactly right. And like he was

987
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: talking about, you know, Michael, he went on with Michael

988
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: Irvin and was like, we're prepared to tag him this

989
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 2: year and next year. He was kind of talking trash

990
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 2: on his agent, yeah, and saying like the agent or

991
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 2: something right, like saying that they, you know, back in

992
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 2: early August, they offered him a contract that would have

993
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: given him the most guaranteed money like all that stuff,

994
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 2: and the agent was like, you know, shove it up

995
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 2: your choice choice word that.

996
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

997
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,479
Speaker 2: So like this is getting ugly publicly, which there's one

998
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: thing when it's kind of the the Miles Garrett like

999
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: put out a statement, use that as some leverage.

1000
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 4: But Michael Parson's statement was like three pages long.

1001
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: And then when there's back and forth and it continued,

1002
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 2: like Miles Garrett put out that statement, and then things

1003
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: got quiet for a while, Right, Michael Parson's put out

1004
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 2: that statement, and it's like gotten worse.

1005
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 4: Sort of gasoline on it.

1006
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say, though, what I know about Jerry

1007
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 3: is he there's no pub is bad pub if you're

1008
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 3: talking about the Cowboys right now, the value of the

1009
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 3: franchise is going up.

1010
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 4: It cost me another two million a year. That's nothing.

1011
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 2: The hundreds of millions that are being added to the

1012
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: valuation of franchise. Right. Yeah, that'll certainly be an interesting

1013
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: saga for us to keep an eye on over these

1014
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 2: next sixteen days.

1015
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 3: But I can come up with a whole lot of

1016
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 3: teams that should be calling about Parsons, like everybody almost like.

1017
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 2: Pretty much everybody. Yeah, week one, he plays for the Cowboys,

1018
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 2: he doesn't play, or he plays for somebody else.

1019
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 3: I think Hendrickson's not a Bangal, and I bring that

1020
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: up because they're the same position.

1021
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the first domino that has to follow.

1022
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 3: Right, you know, maybe the Lion's trade for Hendrickson or

1023
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 3: something like that or the packers or something like that.

1024
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go out on a weird limb, which will

1025
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: probably pay off well in Vegas. And I'm gonna say

1026
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: he's property of the cowboys, but he sits out week one.

1027
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: I think that's where I'm going to.

1028
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, I'm gonna.

1029
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 2: He's still a cowboy, but he doesn't play.

1030
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm digging my boots in and we can square

1031
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 3: off at the OK Corral, you know.

1032
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 2: We can square off on Michael Irvans podcast. All right, right, Matt,
