1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,159
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: Welcome back to our number two of the Drive here

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 2: on Steelers Nation Radio and Matt with June now here.

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. So I start talking fantasy football a little

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: bit more often.

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, all the underdog stuff, the bestball stuff is

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: up and rolling. There's more and more stuff coming out.

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm like you, I'm very early in my

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 3: preliminary thoughts. But I also think if you're into it,

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 3: you can make money this time of year because there's

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 3: secret Like example, George Pickens is going like where he

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: did last year, which is crazying to me.

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he's gonna get thirty five forty more targets

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: than he did a year ago, I would think.

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: I mean, there's this misconception, well that's not even a

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: misconception that Arthur Smith's and I ever gonna throw the football,

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, okay, the run.

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: Percentage of London did nothing last night.

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 3: And then there's the misconception that he has no idea

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: what to do with stars, you know, so it pounce

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: on that, you know, go get them, go get him.

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 3: If you're in a dynasty league, trade for pickens, if

25
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: you're in a best ball you know, whatever, you can

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: get it, get to your stocks.

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: Probably being underdrafted massively, yeah, massively. Yeah. So I mean,

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: those guys to me are going to be you know,

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: you're looking for fans. And it's not just because we're

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: on Steelers Nation Radio. No, those guys are going to

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: be underdrafted consistently until we get to preseason games.

32
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: I have a rookie draft dynasty that started today at

33
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: eight eight am, and someone in my league put Friar

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: Mouth on the block.

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: I don't need a tight end, but I put an

36
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: off for it. I'm like, if you're looking at him

37
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: like seventy catchers this year, I think.

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: I have Mork Andrews in that league. But I'll throw

39
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: you something for Friar Moth. If you think he's a

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: little low, you.

41
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: Can always flip. You flip him, or you flip Andrews

42
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: down the road.

43
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, acquire assets. And then another thing is when

44
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: I started doing rookie drafts, I wasn't real high on

45
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: Roman Wilson for fantasy. I mean I kind of thought

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: he's got a little work to do versus man. He's smaller.

47
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: How many targets are he gonna get? Fireman's gonna probably

48
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: out target him. But that's the thing goes on. I've

49
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: been grabbing him in like the late second round of

50
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: rookie drafts, like twenty twenty third. Yeah, rookie off the board.

51
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: He might be the two.

52
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: Here's the thing about going down a different run. Yeah, right, right, right,

53
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: that's all right. You talked about him having trouble against man.

54
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: Teams don't play a lot of men. You don't play

55
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: a lot of men, right, and they certainly aren't going

56
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: to play a lot of man against a team that

57
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: has running quarter but teams quarterbacks that can beat you

58
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 2: with the run.

59
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, I mean example.

60
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: I think the Steelers will see much less man defense

61
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: this year than they did. I would think so previously.

62
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: Like Zay Flowers is a really good example, like Matt Harmon,

63
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: who charts it. Jay Flowers was like the best rookie

64
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: in the league against zone last year, near the bottom

65
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: against man. Yeah, okay, he never sees any man.

66
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: The Ravens know that.

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: I mean, they don't really care. That doesn't No one's

68
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: gonna play man tight ends right, right, exactly. I mean

69
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: they know this stuff. If you play the team strengths.

70
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, you play man against the Ravens at your own risk. Yeah.

71
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: I mean the Steelers can do it a little bit

72
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: because they've got you know, they just know how to

73
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: handle Lamar.

74
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, depending on your pass rush playing all that

75
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: kind of stuff and spies and you got to order things.

76
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

77
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: I picked up Rumman Wilson like he might be that

78
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: when they go out to trot out there and two

79
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: receiver sets on Week one, it might be him and George.

80
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be a chance. Right, Yeah, I'll roll

81
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: the dice. Anyways, So let's get these are rich free

82
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: bars fantasy football quarterback rankings.

83
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: He's one of my favorite analysts out there. He writes

84
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: for Sharp Football behind a paywall.

85
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: And he's done some he's been with some other STI year,

86
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: I think he's rode the world and all this stuff. Yeah,

87
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: she'd lot over the years. So he has Josh Allen

88
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: number one. No surprise there.

89
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: I've never seen any rankings that don't and some of

90
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: the ones i've seen people tier he's the only one

91
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: in tier one.

92
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: Well here's the thing, so in the last four seasons,

93
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: he's a machine. QB three, QB one, QB two, QB one. Wow.

94
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: I mean he's a safe as can be.

95
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: The only one I can remember that was like that

96
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: was Cam Newton. He went like five or six years

97
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: where he was like top four.

98
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: The only question is where do you pull the trigger

99
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: on him?

100
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: That's the thing, because there's a lot of names on here.

101
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: When we get into the quarterback fourteen, I'll be like,

102
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: I can live with him. Yeah, you know, and that's

103
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: always the case, always the case.

104
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, number two for him.

105
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: I think it gets Harry right here.

106
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: He has Jalen Hurts, same thing over the last three seasons.

107
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: QB six, QB one, QB two.

108
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: It's hard to argue. And we talked about his receivers

109
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: pretty consistent.

110
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: He scores a ton of touchdowns.

111
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: I do think his tush push stuff with Al Kelsey

112
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: will cost him two touchdowns or something the year.

113
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: But if you're in a league where quarterback passing touchdowns

114
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: are only four points, yeah, he's more valuable. He and

115
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: Allen are really more valuable. They both they're both going

116
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: to score ten touchdowns. They are.

117
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Alan has scored a ridiculous number of touchdowns

118
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: over the last couple years and hurts his far off.

119
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: I wonder how much having Saquon Barkley effects hurt. So

120
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: I wonder, like, who hurts who with that hurts? There

121
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: you go, there you go. I mean they paid Barkley

122
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 2: for a reason.

123
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: Did they want to save hurts a little bit and

124
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: give the ball to say because Barkley is a big

125
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: back's great back.

126
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Number three Lamar Jackson. Okay, his stock I think

127
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: got hurt from the previous two seasons. Yeah, going into

128
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: last year because of the injury stuff. He's still so good.

129
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: He's still so good.

130
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: His style play has changed a little though, Yes, I

131
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 3: mean his first MVP is a lot different.

132
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 2: In a second. It's interesting though, Matt though, because I saw,

133
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: first of all, he's skipping their OTA sessions. Yeah, voluntarily,

134
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: and Harball was asked about he says, look, these are voluntary.

135
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah all, but yeah, he took some weight off when

136
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: he was there. He took some weight back off last year.

137
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: He put it on because he wanted to not have

138
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 2: the injury issue, yep, and be more of a pocket guy.

139
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: And it worked. He won the MVP. Now he's dropped

140
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: the weight again, does he think now, okay, I know

141
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: how to be a pocket guy. Now now I can

142
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: be a pocket guy and run. I'm convinced he took

143
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: the weight off because he probably didn't feel the same way.

144
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: I bet there was twenty plays last year where he

145
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: tried to get that extra guy got me.

146
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, like no one ever got me. I got to

147
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: the edge. I didn't have that gear though.

148
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: I'm not used to playing that one because he really

149
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 3: didn't break off the long runs last year. That's my

150
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: concern about this whole fantasy conversation. Is the days of

151
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: a sixty yard run gone?

152
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know Number four Patrick mahomes boring.

153
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he had no d passing at all last year.

154
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: I think that'll go up. He's safe as could be.

155
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Five, And this is a projection. I have a

156
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 2: feeling we're we're gonna probably have an argument about Anthony

157
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: Richard of course, yep. I can't draft Anthony Richardson is

158
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: a fifth quarterback. I just can't. He's my third. I

159
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: can't do it.

160
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: I don't have a list, but he's the only ones

161
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: I'd take Alan ahead of him.

162
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: I get it. I think i'd take Hurts ahead of

163
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: get it to me, I would let somebody else pull

164
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: the because you're talking about if he's your third or

165
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: fifth somewhere between three and five. Yeah, you're taking him

166
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 2: in like the fourth round.

167
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: I know, I'm not saying I would end up with

168
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: him on my team, but on my list, he would

169
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: be ahead of my homes.

170
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: He'd be ahead of Lamar.

171
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: And I know, small sample size, very and a lot

172
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: of those games he didn't even finish, but Fantasy points

173
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: per game he was right there with Alan.

174
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: I understand that. And I don't cares points per game

175
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: though he only played for.

176
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: Me, and he wasn't even that good of a passer,

177
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: and he still had the fantasy numbers. I mean, it's

178
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: the cheat code. We all know why.

179
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: You know, what I always want to do is find

180
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: the next.

181
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you. You know, get Lamar

182
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: in his rookie year, get Richardson last year.

183
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: I think I told this story before. So Lamar's second

184
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: year is that what the year won the MVP. My

185
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: son couldn't make the draft. We're in the same league

186
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: when I'm in now. Yeah, one year in no and

187
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: so he was working and he had to work at

188
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: night that night, because we always drafted back then at night,

189
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: and he was busy. He was tied up at work.

190
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: So he gave me a list of guys that he wanted,

191
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: and I drafted his team for him. And like a

192
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: good dad, you didn't tank his team. I didn't. Yeah,

193
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: he did. How you think he would have picked. We

194
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: came down to the last round and we both needed

195
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: a second like. I drafted his team like I would

196
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: draft my team. So I waited to draft my second quarterback.

197
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: Time to do that. It was time to do that,

198
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: and nobody had drafted Lamar. It was Lamar, and I

199
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: was trying to remember who else?

200
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: So you think Lamar's rookie year, he was a part

201
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: time player. Oh this is appealing, but.

202
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: We don't know. They don't have any receivers. It came

203
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: down I needed I had my pick, was like two

204
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 2: picks ahead of his. I took another quarterback I can't

205
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: remember who now, might have been like Cam Newton or

206
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: something like that, and for him, I took Lamar. And

207
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: where you torn? I wanted to take Lamar for me

208
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 2: And I'm like, but I had, you know, either.

209
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: Ones my starter. I'll give throw my son a bone. Yeah,

210
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: you probably win in the league that year with.

211
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: Laura he won.

212
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: He won, yep, And maybe that's Jalen Daniels is here. Yeah,

213
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean someone that's not in the

214
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: top ten.

215
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: Written. That's where Bying Richardson cheap is going. That's the

216
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: perfect guy. Jalen Daniels to be is the perfect guy

217
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: for this.

218
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: He'll be losing a time. He's going to get out there.

219
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: He'll be the fifteenth to twentieth quarterback taken. I'm curious

220
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: where he is on this list. Will see when we

221
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: get there. But I'd much rather invest in that, yes,

222
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: than I would Anthony Richardson in this high I.

223
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: Agree, But if I'm doing a list, I have him

224
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: ahead of my Homes and Lamario. That doesn't mean he's

225
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: gonna end up on my team because I bet none

226
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: of those do.

227
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

228
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I'll take the chances on him.

229
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: Six C. J. Stroud.

230
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: I think he's overrated for fantasy. I don't think he's

231
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: overrated for the real world. But he's only have like

232
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: two hundred rushing yards and maybe a rushington.

233
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: He was QB nine last year in points per game.

234
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: Now they've they've added weapons and then people are overreacting

235
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: to that.

236
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I think he's Joe Burrow, which is great,

237
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: but he's never gonna be a quarterback one.

238
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't even put Joe Burrow on the list, right, right, right.

239
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: I think he's very similar to Joe Burrow. Phenomenal football

240
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: player that is better for the real world and Fantasy

241
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 3: seven is Kyler Murray. That's enticing because I mean this

242
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: time last year, we didn't know when he was gonna play.

243
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: When he came back, he was coming off injury with

244
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: throwing to nobody. They've invested in a line he should

245
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: run again, Sure will still run. Yeah, and he's got

246
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: Harrison right, that's fine. When maybe when I'll start investing

247
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: in a quarterback.

248
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's more appealing to me as well.

249
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, Oh for the price, Yes, eight, Dak Prescott

250
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: solid doesn't run as much you think, right, Ever since

251
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: that gruesome ankle injury, he does not run as much,

252
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: you think.

253
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: The one thing I will say, they don't have any

254
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: running backs.

255
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: They don't. He may start doing some plunge stuff.

256
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: And they might have to throw the ball thirty five

257
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: forty times.

258
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think Lamb is number one

259
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 3: receiver for a lot of people.

260
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, just becaucause of that. There's no target competition, right.

261
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: Nine is Burrow.

262
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 3: It's fine, Yeah, stay healthy and you'll be good. You

263
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: won't be disappointed, but he won't be quarterback.

264
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 2: One ten is Jade and Daniels. Okay, how much that

265
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 2: I'll take Jayden and Daniels in round eight? Yeah, that's it,

266
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: and then I'll back him up with Aaron ds or

267
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: something like that. Yeah, Jordan Loove or cousins, somebody that's

268
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: going to be out there. Yeah, yeah, because what I'll do.

269
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: What you do is you wait to draft that quarterback

270
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: until like the eighth round, and then you quickly take

271
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: the second one because you filled out the rest of

272
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: your roster. Yeah.

273
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: And if Daniels is a disaster after three weeks of

274
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: starting him, like I got at least I got.

275
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: A good back. Yeah yeah, yeah. Eleven.

276
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: How many how many yards is Daniel's gonna run for this?

277
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 2: Oh?

278
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: If he plays seventeen.

279
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: He plays seventeen, He's gonna have at least eight hundred

280
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: probably he is. He is every bit the runner the Lamar. See.

281
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: I think fields and Lamar at their best are better

282
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: but that's the neighborhood he's in.

283
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in that conversation.

284
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: He's gonna be one of the best running quarterbacks in

285
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 3: the league. Yeah, he'll run from more yards than Kyler. Yeah, yeah,

286
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: more than Allen more than That's.

287
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 2: What young quarterbacks do. Yeah, yeah, you know, oh the

288
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: first reads not open takeoff. Yeah.

289
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and his lines are very good, right, good for us,

290
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: It's kind of good for us.

291
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: Love and is brock Purdy.

292
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he throws a lot of touchdowns.

293
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does it does I mean, I don't know.

294
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: I would much rather have the guy at twelve, Jordan Love.

295
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: I was about to say something like Love probably brings

296
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: more to the table. Yeah, higher upside.

297
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: And he will he'll run too. He'll run. He'll have

298
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: four hundred yards. He'll run more than Party. Yeah, he'll

299
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: probably find Party's not a bad runner. He's not. He's not.

300
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: He'll have two hundred fifty three hund rushing yards.

301
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 3: McAffrey scores all their touchdowns, right, a million touchdown.

302
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, then they make sure the McCaffrey score touchdowns. That's

303
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: the other part. He won't run for touchdowns. I love

304
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: at twelve. Fine, he was key trust he was QB

305
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: six last.

306
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: Year and it was all like in the second half

307
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: of the season, right, and those young receivers and vested

308
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: in a lineman.

309
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm cool with it. Yeah, I don't think he's gonn

310
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: winning the league. But you know, thirteen, Caleb Williams, that's

311
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: too high for me.

312
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, these rookie drafts, he's like the eighth rookie off

313
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: the board in single quarterback leagues, Like you gotta be

314
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: special to be a first round quarterback for Dinas.

315
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's gonna run as much as

316
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: people think he does.

317
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 3: I don't think so either, and he's gonna going.

318
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: I think I think he's closer to c J. Stroud

319
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: in terms of the running than he.

320
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: Is maybe some of these others, certainly than Daniels.

321
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: He's capable. He's capable, but it's not what he looks

322
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: to do.

323
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I all rookies are gonna be a

324
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: tough sell for me if they don't run a time and.

325
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: They do have weapons there, so he's gonna he's gonna

326
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: have guys that arguing, like jayde Daniel's weapons are good,

327
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: but like Caleb Williams, Chicago's probably oh yeah, by far.

328
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: People talk about him like he's gonna throw thirty touchdowns,

329
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: run gonna happen. No, I mean I think he's great, probably.

330
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: Much more, much more probable to throw thirty interceptions than

331
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: he is. There's still be a lot of bad times.

332
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

333
00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: Fourteen and this is me Deshaun Watson. Oh, I can't

334
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: go there.

335
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: He'd be way lower. I mean, even like Lawrence.

336
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: You know he has thrown since the twenty twenty season. Yeah,

337
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: how many touchdown passes you think Deshaun Watson is throwing? Fifteen?

338
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: He's at fourteen? Wow, that's brutal. He has had one

339
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: more touchdown pass in the last three seasons than Kenny

340
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: pick It at last year.

341
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Man, and his weapons aren't great and he doesn't

342
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: run like he used to. No, I can't envision him

343
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: being a top five fantasy guy like he was in

344
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty fifteen.

345
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: Is Tua if he ran, he'd be gold? Yeah? I mean,

346
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: but like so if I took if I took Jayden Daniels.

347
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: And backed him up with Tua, oh, then you're solid. Yeah,

348
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: you're in good a good quarterback room.

349
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Two is no different than party to me though, right, Yeah,

350
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: I get it. He's no.

351
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 3: Three weapons, great weapons. Yeah, they do a lot of

352
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: work for him, but he doesn't run at all.

353
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: No. Sixteen Trevor Lawrence, I'd.

354
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: Have him higher than that. I think i'd take him

355
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: over Caleb Williams. He needs to run more, yeah, because

356
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: he's good at it. His weapons are fine. Here's the thing, though,

357
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: three seasons as a starter, QB throw many touchdowns points

358
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: per game?

359
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, QB thirty seven, QB thirteen, QB seventeen. Yeah, I

360
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: mean it's put up a shut up time. Yeah, it's not.

361
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: You don't want to draft Trevor Lawrence as your number

362
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: one and not have anybody else on your bench that can.

363
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: But if you told me he was third this year

364
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: in the MVP race and ended up quarterback four, I

365
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: could yeah.

366
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: I mean they could happen. That could happen. Yeah, it

367
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: just doesn't happen yet.

368
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: It needs to happen now. Yeah, he could be my

369
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: quarterback too though.

370
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah with that, any of those guys in this

371
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: neighborhood are great QB twos.

372
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he might be one of my favorite QB.

373
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: Twos so far. Seventeen is Kirk Cousins. That's a bit

374
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: of a projection coming off the injury.

375
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: No running new team? Yeah, how much team? How much

376
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 3: work with this new group we have? When he's on

377
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: the field, he's old. Yeah, like Kim and Aaron Rodgers

378
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: are like the same guy to me almost.

379
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, eighteen is Jared Goff. I think he should be high.

380
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: He'd be higher. They're gonna play when I think fifteen

381
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: of their seventeen games in Domes and Jones.

382
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they will throw the football. Yeah, he I mean

383
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: he's not gonna run. No, but he's closer to Burrow

384
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: than he is.

385
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: He is a he's a double all day long.

386
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: I have no problem starting him if I if I'm

387
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 3: invested it everywhere else. And I waited last team to

388
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: took a quarterback. And it's round eleven and it's.

389
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: Golf, he'll give me fifteen everywhere.

390
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: That's I say, He's gon gave me fifteen points a

391
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: week and I can live with it. And some couple

392
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: of weeks will throw three touchdowns and I'll win the week.

393
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, nineteen Aaron Rodgers leap of faith. But he's not

394
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: gonna run again ever ever. Yeah, did you see the

395
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: stuff like he pulled up a little lame with their

396
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: Ota session the other day and he was jogging around

397
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden had to go shit down,

398
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: and they called the trainer over and they're looking at

399
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: his foot.

400
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: Was it the same Achilles? Yeah, that's scary.

401
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: It's nothing, but wow, forty one. I mean, hey, I

402
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: can tell you from experience. You don't feel it's on

403
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 2: heal in your forties like he did in your twenties.

404
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: He just doesn't happen.

405
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what my take on him as for fantasy.

406
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: I mean, at that price, it's hard to complain. Nineteen yeah,

407
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: I mean we know how fantasy drafts.

408
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: I'll let somebody else take him at nine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

409
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 3: If it's a twelfth round and he's my backup to

410
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels, okay, yeah yeah yeah.

411
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: Twenty Matthew Stafford, he's better than that. He throws touchdowns.

412
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, if he has both those receivers out, he'll throw touchdowns.

413
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 2: And they run the ball and they say they keep

414
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: you honest.

415
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean he won't run either, but I

416
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: bet he has more touchdowns this year than Rogers.

417
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because their defense isn't great. No, they're gonna they're

418
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: gonna get shootouts. Yeah, twenty one. How about this justin

419
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 2: Herbert amazing, But that's where he belongs in fantasy.

420
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: I think, I know. I was about to say, I

421
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: think I'll buy him at that Who are the weapons?

422
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: Like, who's he throwing the ball to?

423
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: But there's this misconception. It's kind of like we talk

424
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: about Arthur Smith, like Harbaugh's gonna call three passes a game.

425
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, though, Matt the last two seasons QB seventeen,

426
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: QB twelve really wow for a guy with that kind

427
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 2: of talent.

428
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he doesn't run as much as he should.

429
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: Like they played the Steelers a couple of years.

430
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: Ago and he took offfe Yeah, because the Steelers were

431
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: playing man and he saw it and just took off

432
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: running down.

433
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 3: He's very capable, but he'll end up with two hundred

434
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 3: rushing yards instead of four hundred. Yeah, i'd probably buy

435
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 3: him at that price, but he's not gonna win the league.

436
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: No. Twenty two Baker Mayfield, he's low end back. Now

437
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 2: we're now we're getting into that range where I go, Okay, now, yeah,

438
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: twenty three Bryce Young.

439
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 3: Who I think I'm thinking Russell Wilson over Bryce Young.

440
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, twenty four Geno Smith. Now these guys run,

441
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 2: they yeah, yuck. Twenty five Daniel Jones, he does run.

442
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: I'll take him over some of them. I mean, he

443
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 3: might not be good at football, but he's good at fantasy.

444
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll lost some weeks for hell, actually win you

445
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: the week.

446
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: He'll throw a screen to neighbors, will take it to

447
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: the house at least twice this year. Twenty six he

448
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: might get bench though he might, but then you cut them.

449
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 2: I can't understand why Russell Wilson's not already on here,

450
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: but twenty six Derek Carr. I'll think Russell Wilson over

451
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: Derek Carr all day long.

452
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: A couple of those guys have such low ceilings. Yeah,

453
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 3: cars the epitome of low ceiling.

454
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he might be done.

455
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: I mean I think, well, if they play seventeen games,

456
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 3: Wilson's gonna more touchdown passes a.

457
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 2: Car, I have no doubt about it alone. And he'll

458
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: also run for fifty Yeah. Twenty seven Will Levis. I

459
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: think I told you this.

460
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 3: I'm in a super flex league and I'm loaded at quarterback,

461
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: and like I took bo Nix with a late first

462
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: round pick with intentions of trading car I couldn't trade

463
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: him for a bag of usually, I mean any starting

464
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 3: quarterback right in Week two when people have no quarterbacks

465
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: all that steff for something, but nobody Like, I don't

466
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 3: want that guy.

467
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: It's poison right now. Will Levis at twenty seven, JJ

468
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: McCarthy at twenty eight, Bo Nick's at twenty nine, Drake

469
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: may at thirty, Russell Wilson at thirty one, with Justin

470
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: Fields at thirty two.

471
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 3: All those rookies and young guys should be lumped together.

472
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: Wilson should be up there with Mayfield. Ye, Mayfield was

473
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: like twenty right, Yeah, I think they're comparable.

474
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: His touchdown rate last year was five point eight percent.

475
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: That was third best. Today's good. That was third best

476
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

477
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just think there's two misconceptions about him. Well

478
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: maybe they're not misconceptions. Couldn't he get benched? See that

479
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: doesn't bother me though, Like I'll draft Daniel Jones and

480
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: if he gets bench I just cut him right, pick

481
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 3: up Drew Locke or pick up Fields, you know, like

482
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: if by chance he gets benched, so what you know,

483
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 3: like make a move when you're if I'm just on

484
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: fantasy here and Arthur Smith's never gonna call pass.

485
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: We're just gonna run the ball fifty five.

486
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 3: Times, right, right, but he could throw bombs.

487
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: Thirty three Gardner Minshew. I would take Minshew ahead ahead

488
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: of some of those rookies in that group, just because

489
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: of the receivers that he has, and he's crafty and

490
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: he's going to get the ball. He's not gonna not

491
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: throw the ball at Devonte Adams right right.

492
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: And Bowers, Yeah, yeah, you know that's enough they've got.

493
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: They've got three legit weapons a receiver plus too tight.

494
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: Actually, it's such a mistake that people make, especially a quarterback,

495
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: that they don't separate real world from fantasy. Yeah, and

496
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 3: he's better at fantasy than.

497
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: The real world.

498
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: Right, They're gonna be behind a lot. Right.

499
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 3: If I draft someone high and he gets hurt and

500
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: I pick him up off waivers, I could still win

501
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: the league. Yeah, I mean if I'm good everywhere else.

502
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, he's not awful. You're not going to kill you.

503
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: Who do we say? This is fifteen points a game.

504
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: GoF GoF She'll get fifteen points a game.

505
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: He'll get twenty yards scrambling, throw a touchdown.

506
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 2: They're going to Yeah, they're going to be behind constant.

507
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll get some garbage tign for you.

508
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 2: He's got Myers too, Yeah yeah, yeah.

509
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: Bowers is going to catch eight touchdowns this year or

510
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: something or what.

511
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: Who knows. Yeah, So let's just stop there. We won't

512
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: go any deep. Yeah.

513
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean those are the ones that are draftable.

514
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: Nobody's drafting Sam Howell. People will draft Field though, yeah,

515
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: I would.

516
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they'll be the backup that gets drafted.

517
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely right.

518
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 3: I mean he's gold I mean if you side note,

519
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 3: if you knew if Russell Wilson didn't exist, then he's

520
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 3: the clear Steeler starter.

521
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: He may be like fifth on that list. Yeah, I

522
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 2: mean he runs. That man runs that much. He is

523
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 2: that good of a runner.

524
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 3: Then he's in a better situation. I mean, he's a

525
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: fantasy gold mine if he's out there.

526
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 2: Let's dig into that a little bit more when we

527
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: come back. He is Matt Williamson, I'm Dale LOLLI that

528
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: was the Fantasy Football Focus. We're gonna take another break.

529
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: We'll be back with more right after this.

530
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

531
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and GOLDNR.

532
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio.

533
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolli. He is the Matt Williamson

534
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: and Matt. This week at the Steeler Ota Sessions, Justin

535
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: Fields and Russell Wilson were both asked about the idea

536
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: of Fields having some package stuff for him, something we

537
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 2: brought up as soon as he was signed. Yeah, right right,

538
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 2: I said that, Hey, I'd have a package for this

539
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: guy week five ten snaps per game at a quarterback position,

540
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: just as a weapon. Yeah.

541
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it does means to run it every time, much

542
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: more of a developed quarterback than Taysom Hill, right, and

543
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill averaged like six yards of play ever when

544
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 3: he was out there.

545
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's so.

546
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: And that was with the Hall of Fame quarterback kind

547
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 3: of in his prime getting pulled off the field.

548
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: Right. So you know when when Fields was asked about that,

549
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: he said, well, my name is called I'll be ready

550
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: you know, in whatever, whenever capacity. So he's open to it. Yeah,

551
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: I did hear.

552
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: I just saw the blurb that he laughed off the

553
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 3: kickoff return that was a dog.

554
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: That's dumb.

555
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you're putting a valuable asset in the way

556
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: that he's never done I know, by the way, the

557
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 3: best kioff returner on the planet. Right, I don't care

558
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: if I was their number one kickoff returner. I'm not

559
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: putting Fields back.

560
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd rather have Jaalen Warren back there. Yeah,

561
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: that's right.

562
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: I'm not getting Fields blasted on kickoff returns because never

563
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: he's done it either.

564
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: The way that kickoff is working, I thought, and Teresa

565
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: Varlei talked to I know, Mike pursued to talk to

566
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: Miles Killerbrew about this the other day, and I thought

567
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 2: he brought up a good point about the new kickoff role.

568
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: He said, what it's really going to be like, is

569
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: is it a stretch play? Mmkay? Like a wide zone. Yeah,

570
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like a because you look, you know,

571
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: get those guys blocking and then see where you got

572
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: your cutback lanes at. That's interesting.

573
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 3: I mean, I had never thought of it from that perspective.

574
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 3: But you're kind of like a linebacker or a safety

575
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: reading a pitch play or you know, and I wonder,

576
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 3: will special teams coordinators on the return team, Okay, this

577
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: is going to be zone blocking, right or you got him?

578
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: You got him?

579
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: You know, maybe Yeah, I mean, yeah, maybe the different

580
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: ways to look at even pull guard almost like bring

581
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 3: someone from across. Yeah, it kind of will be that's

582
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 3: a good way of looking at it. Yeah, that's what

583
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 3: I like that a lot.

584
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: So usually the Steelers have talked about that, you know, right,

585
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure unique. Yeah, but I don't know Kier You know,

586
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: Kilerber is a smart guy. I don't know if he

587
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: came up with that on his own.

588
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure that he shared it with others. So yeah,

589
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: it's been talked about.

590
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh so Tuesday. That was on Tuesday. Russell Wilson

591
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: talked to the media yesterday and he was asked about it,

592
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: and he said he's all for doing that as well.

593
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: The package. Yeah, he said, Hey, Justin is obviously one

594
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: of the most talented guys in the NFL. Uh, you know,

595
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: all the things he can do, the player of the

596
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: quarterback that he is, He's dynamic. It's all about us winning.

597
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: That's the focus. I think it would strike fear into

598
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: some defenses, that's for sure.

599
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so there's a lot of advantages to it

600
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: in that people don't think about this, but an NFL

601
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 3: week is a lot shorter than you think and there's

602
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: not as much practice time as you think. And if

603
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 3: the Ravens have to prepare for that, yeah, it means

604
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 3: they're not preparing for something else, right, And it's one

605
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: more thing on their plate as a defensive staff that

606
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 3: we have to be aware of and have answers for.

607
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 2: That's great. It's one of the things that makes playing

608
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: the Ravens so unique for the teams that don't play

609
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: the Ravens all the time.

610
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Lamar's record versus NFC is not an accident.

611
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: Lamar's record versus the other AFC North teams is also

612
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: non Actually isn't as good as it is against anybody else,

613
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 2: anybody else because they're used to playing and they don't

614
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: have to they don't have to do spend an extra

615
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, it's going to shock you. Yeah, hours

616
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: practice they you know, here's what we got to do

617
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 2: with Lamar. Well we know that because we faced them

618
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: the last three seasons. Here's what we've done against Lamar.

619
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: This is what's worked.

620
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 3: Yes, So I mentioned to Tayso Hill stuff like it

621
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: used to make me a little crazy when I'd seen

622
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 3: in his prime Drew Brees trot off the field or whatever.

623
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, is it really smart to bring your best

624
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: player off the field. But it was all said and done,

625
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: it ended up being a highly efficient package. And it's

626
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 3: small dosage six yards of play if you get six

627
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: yards of play every time Justin Fields goes on the

628
00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: field and.

629
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: He's on the let's say, let's say he's on the

630
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: field for five plays, he gets Okay, he.

631
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 3: Just got thirty yards and thirty three yards basically, and

632
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: maybe a big play here and there. And again I'm

633
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: not just saying running quarterback sweep every time either. I

634
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 3: mean I'm gonna throw out routes and do legit stuff

635
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 3: against single covers.

636
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: Are gonna crash and oh yeah, and.

637
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 3: They're gonna play you different because he's not just a

638
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 3: gimmick guy, right, I mean, there will be a misconception.

639
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: What I don't want to see is once in a while,

640
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: you'd see you with the Saints and you mentioned the

641
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 3: ravens Lamar's rookie year, Like I thought this was so dumb.

642
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 3: Flacco would just line up a wide receiver, just stand there,

643
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: wide receiver, play ten on eleven, like go off the

644
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: field and bring in Patrick Riccard, you know, or what

645
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 3: I mean, like you're doing nothing. You're not fiting, You're

646
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: not you know, drop your ego or whatever the reason

647
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 3: is and bring in a football player is gonna block

648
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 3: or can run a route. You're just standing there doesn't

649
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 3: help at all. Yeah, that's not gonna cut it. So

650
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 3: that's not gonna cut it. But meanwhile, Russell Wilson can

651
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 3: get a breather and talk with the offensive coordinator about

652
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 3: what this is.

653
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: Gonna shut this up? Or here's what I saw in

654
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 2: the last three plays. Let's yeah, advantage right time out

655
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: really right.

656
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 3: I mean he's an older guy, he's a little bit

657
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: fresher at the end of games, et cetera.

658
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I would be completely open again the five

659
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: to ten plays of Justin Fields out there playing quarterback.

660
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 3: And the other thing in a very traditional manner, but

661
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: with obvious runs involved.

662
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, with with stuff that you've designed. Yeah, you know,

663
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: we got these five or six or ten extra plays

664
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: that we have designed just for Justin. We're not gonna

665
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 2: run with Russell, but we'll running with you know. Yeah,

666
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: I mean a true quarterback sweep. I mean, what if

667
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 2: you you took it and you you know you have

668
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: you have Justin Fields in the backfield, sidecar by both

669
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: running backs.

670
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking the opposite, even sidecar by none

671
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: or that and bring in a six lineman and then.

672
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: Or where I got. Let's say I've got both running

673
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: backs on the field with him with pickings out there

674
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: and yeah, and for hours, I'm like, Okay, what are

675
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: they doing out of this?

676
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: Because you could still The nice thing about Warren and

677
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: Harris for that is they're both capable receivers where you

678
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: could detach them and go empty, and they have shown

679
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 3: a pension for blocking.

680
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:10,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

681
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: The huge reason like pony packages hasn't kicked it in

682
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: the NFL with two backs.

683
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: Most of those backs don't block.

684
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I mean, might as well put a full

685
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: back out there on the ball. You're not just get

686
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: blown up by a linebacker. And I think both these

687
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: guys would be better than average running back blockers and

688
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: unselfish that way.

689
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. And if you if you've got that package on

690
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: the field, his pick is getting doubled.

691
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: That's the thing to probably not. I mean you can

692
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: still throw outs and goes and all that stuff too.

693
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's going to be singled up because their safeties

694
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: are going to get You got two running backs in

695
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: the field with a running quarterback, safeties are coming, yeah, yeah,

696
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: no doubt.

697
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 3: And I was thinking about it without a running back

698
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: because the rush threat isn't any less. You could have

699
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 3: fields two tight ends and three receivers. Yeah, and you

700
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: might get Nickel or you might get Dime right, and

701
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: you'll definitely get Nickel. And if they crowd the line

702
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 3: of scrimmage, you got a lot of guys one on one.

703
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: If they don't, he still runs behind seven big blockers

704
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: in front of.

705
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: Him, you know, and he runs, you're gonna get yards.

706
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if he's against a corner, he's gonna

707
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: win levelone safeties and that kind of stuff too. So yeah,

708
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: and there's a lot you can do, and it'll be

709
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: crazy not do.

710
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be I'll be interested to see when again,

711
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: they're still in the install process. Now, when we get

712
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: to training camp, if we start to see some of

713
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: that stuff, yeah, start to happen. I think you will. Yeah.

714
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 3: I mean the experimented with Kendrick Green doing strange stuff

715
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: like that. I mean, this will be part of the

716
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: package when they get there.

717
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: I think those are training camp, our shows during training camp,

718
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: but we're doing our shows during practice gonna be fun,

719
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: be real fun. Yeah.

720
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 3: So I hesitate to bring this up because it's a

721
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: hard thing to wrap your head around. But on today's

722
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 3: we do a mail bag on the podcast and one

723
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 3: of the questions was if you eliminated all thirty two

724
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: starting quarterbacks, who would the best teams in the league.

725
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 3: And I'm like, that's a lot of work. Let's not

726
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: take that question. But my co host realized we had

727
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: nothing to talk about today, but he did it last night.

728
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 3: And you have to remember, like we're and like this,

729
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 3: an alien comes down, So we're really talking about truth here.

730
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: Alien comes down says we're either going to blow up

731
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: the planet or we're stealing the thirty two starting quarterbacks

732
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: to go study in Mars or Saturday or somewhere else.

733
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 3: So when you play the Chiefs, you don't have my

734
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: homes or Wilson. And so he started putting a list

735
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 3: together and the Browns were the second best team in

736
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: the league, because maybe they're even better with Winston, but

737
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: he had the Steelers number one. Yeah, I mean I

738
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: could see that there'd be a nightmare to play again.

739
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 3: You played the Chiefs with Wentz and the Steelers have fields, steels,

740
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 3: it's every team in the league. Yeah, he actually had

741
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: all four of the AFC North teams pretty high. I

742
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: don't know if I would have had Cincinnati quite because

743
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: Browning showed himself pretty well.

744
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: Same thing now, I wouldn't have Baltimore that high now either.

745
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 3: For one, what I told he had Baltimore higher than

746
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: I would have, and I said for one game, yes, seventeen. No, Yeah,

747
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 3: you like Dobbs and Johnson to me, are like that

748
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: you can win a game or two, but you can't.

749
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: You're not consistently. Like I called those guys. They're the

750
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: dude you bring out of the pen to get the

751
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 3: lefty out and then you get them out of there,

752
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

753
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: They can't go multiple way. You're gonna face two batters

754
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: and get the heck out of them.

755
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if two teams in the league are playing

756
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 3: without their starters, I think the Steelers is the best.

757
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: Team in the league. That's a good conversation.

758
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: It's a weird one, yeah, I mean, because we ranked

759
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: them from one to thirty two.

760
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of them. It's a different conversation than just

761
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: who's the best backup in the Not even close to same, right,

762
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 2: It kind of is it's in the same neighborhood, but

763
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: you also have to have a good roster.

764
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: Like the Chiefs and Niners were really high. Yeah, without

765
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: my homes, you're like, they would still win games. I

766
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: still think Wentz beats We had this conversation, so like,

767
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 3: the Raiders might not be any different, right, Denver might

768
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 3: not be any different, right, But Kansas City with Wentz

769
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: is still probably.

770
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: Better than both them. Yeah, you know what I mean.

771
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll give Andy Reid a year to coach up

772
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 3: Wentz and then'll make it work. It's still probably beat

773
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: the Raiders, Yeah, make it work. Yeah, Like San Diego

774
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 3: or the Charger were really low. Yeah, because it's Eastern

775
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 3: stick and they're not that great to be given.

776
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: Well, you know we saw some of that. We've seen

777
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: it in the last two years. We've seen so many

778
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: quarterbacks play that. Yeah. You know, you could make the

779
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: argument the Titans might be better.

780
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 3: Yes, he had the Titans really low, and that's been

781
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: my fault with them the most. I'm like, Mason rolf

782
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: might be better. He's a solid two and he would have receivers.

783
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: The Titans could hang. They should be right in the

784
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: middle of the road. You know, they could hang even

785
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 3: though they're not a great team, they might not be

786
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: much different. So there were That's how I wrapped it up, though,

787
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, what's interesting is that it isn't an alien

788
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 3: coming down.

789
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: That's unrealistic.

790
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: Is we're going to see so many of these matchups

791
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: where both guys are out unfortunately, and if Roger Goodell

792
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 3: in the NFL hates it, but you're going to see

793
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 3: it a lot.

794
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just the reality of what we've seen

795
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: the last two seasons. Tons.

796
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 3: I mean, there were many games thirty five quarterbacks played

797
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 3: last yep, you know, so I'm not trying to tell

798
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 3: Steelers hopefully an alien comes to Steelers homes and Allen

799
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 3: and Burrow.

800
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: But it's an interesting way of looking at it.

801
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 3: You eliminated all the quarterbacks who are the best teams,

802
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 3: and I think the Steelers are number one.

803
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 2: I agree to them. Buffalo would be really low.

804
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 3: They were really low, really low. They're so dependent on

805
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 3: him they could hit bad.

806
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

807
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's that's a great example.

808
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: They came in and we saw it happened with the

809
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: Jets last year.

810
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: Like right, you know, I threw that out there, Like

811
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 3: what if Tyrod Taylor was a Jet last year, they

812
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: may have beat the Steelers out for that last playoff

813
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 3: plot maybe you know, maybe maybe, I mean, they wouldn't

814
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 3: have been a disaster. Yeah, yeah, So the Jets weren't

815
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 3: low this year, but last year they should have been.

816
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely so.

817
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 3: I just you have to remember you're playing the also

818
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: the backup, right, you know.

819
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 2: I just think you know, having fields there, if you

820
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: don't use them, to me, it's kind of a waste,

821
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 2: have a waste.

822
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 3: It would break my heart if he plays thirty snaps

823
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 3: all year, doesn't see the field. And even if Wilson's great,

824
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 3: you know, right, you gotta get him out there and

825
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 3: now we know more about them.

826
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and really you're also you know, you're helping your

827
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: team out, but you're also helping the play out in

828
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 2: the long term, big time. Everybody should be happy about it. Like,

829
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: you know, let's let's say Justin Fields goes. Let's say

830
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson does have a great year. Mm hmm, okay,

831
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: you're you're perfectly fine re signing Russell Wilson after yes season.

832
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: You found an answer there, But you've also.

833
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: Played Justin Fields two hundred snaps this year and he

834
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: showed that, oh he can still do some stuff out here.

835
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 2: He can, he's still a weapon. He's progressing. Just because

836
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: it didn't work out in Chicago doesn't mean he can't

837
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 2: be my starter this year. Oh yeah, and you're the

838
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 2: you're the Raiders and you're looking for another quarterback. Next year.

839
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: You go out and you signed Justin Fields to a

840
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 2: you know, a two year, twenty five million dollar deal.

841
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 3: Yeah that helps you call him picks and exactly exactly,

842
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: all right, or let was say, yeah, it'd be nice

843
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 3: if you could then trade him, but you can't because

844
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 3: he's gonna be up. You know, you're not gonna franchiman

845
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: trade him.

846
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: You know. But if you go somewhere else and signs

847
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: a good deal somewhere because of what you might get compact,

848
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 2: you might get a compic back.

849
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 3: And back to the package that we started the segment with,

850
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 3: I think Russell Wilson's going to say, I'm not coming

851
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: off the field. No, I mean he's already talked about it. Yeah, Yeah,

852
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: go the way off the field. Yeah, get a hit

853
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 3: a Gator raide and see what happens. And yeah, when

854
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 3: you go back out there, maybe're in betterfield position.

855
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely, let's get to another break. He is the Matt Williamson.

878
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 2: OTA sessions again next week, which will be nice.

879
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, get out and sun and see some football players

880
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 3: run around and all that good stuff.

881
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 2: Maybe we can broadcast from down there. That's all. Yeah,

882
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 2: our hopes right hopeful. But one of the things you

883
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: know that I think you have to be mindful with

884
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 2: these OTA sessions right now, there's really no news coming

885
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 2: out of the Steelers facility.

886
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 3: It's one of the slowest times of the year. Yeah,

887
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 3: just in terms of creating content.

888
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: That's a good thing. It's a good thing.

889
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's better than this guy's getting arrested or

890
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 3: this guy's holding out, or one's traded and blah blah blah.

891
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 2: Where that guy you know, he's God forbid an injury. Yeah,

892
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: and we've been there for those kind of things before.

893
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 2: When when that kind of happens, you know, it's tough stuff.

894
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: You don't want to lose guys this time of year. No,

895
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 2: you absolutely don't.

896
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: I mean the news as we opened the show with

897
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: our signings, you know what I mean, that's the stuff

898
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 3: going around the league. You hear a report here and there,

899
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: but it's mostly as we talked about earlier in the week,

900
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 3: it's people creating content that are down there that have

901
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 3: to create content because there's really not much to report.

902
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you know that better than anyone.

903
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there really isn't. And so no news at this

904
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 2: time of year is usually good news. Just fine, it's

905
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 2: just fine. And the way the Steelers do things, any

906
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: kind of contract extensions that they would get done probably

907
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 2: don't happen until closer to training camp, right right, right,

908
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 2: So any new deal with Cam Hayward or any new

909
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 2: deal with Pat Fryarmouth or anything like that probably happens

910
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: maybe once training camp starts.

911
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: I bring this up all the time, and maybe I

912
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 3: overthink it, but I think it's so smart to raise

913
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 3: morale in the hot days of training camp.

914
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: Oh, without a doubt. Yeah, I mean I've been there.

915
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: I can remember. So team goes crazy for you. Remember

916
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: exactly that when Lamar Woodley signed his news and at

917
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: that point we were still talking to you could talk

918
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: to the players outside the cafeteria. That's where you and

919
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: so the media would gather outside the cafeteria, and so

920
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 2: Lamar comes walking over and case he's going to do

921
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 2: a press conference there right after you sign, right after

922
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: right after all the news broke and swear to god,

923
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: I mean, there wasn't a guy on a team that

924
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: didn't walk past him and like pat him on his

925
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 2: back and yeah, you know, high five. And you know

926
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 2: guys like that, they like it.

927
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 3: I mean, of course they're friends, but then they think, good,

928
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 3: maybe next Yeah, I mean this organization will reward their

929
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 3: own homegrown talent that lives up to expectations. And we're

930
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: all team here, you know each other.

931
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: To your point a great psychological.

932
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of benefit to that, you know,

933
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 3: and I could see Friar mooth Heyward. You know, imagine

934
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 3: the day Cam gets extension. I mean, what the CAF

935
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 3: tiers going to be like, or you know, I remember

936
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: when Wat got when he quote held in and he

937
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 3: was working on the signings and stuff. I mean, you

938
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 3: knew it was coming, but it goes a long way

939
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 3: when times are tough to boost everyone for a day

940
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 3: or two or.

941
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: Whatever because it stays are tough out there. Heck, yeah,

942
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: you know, it's a long day. You're you're stuck in

943
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 2: a dorm room and like you're but you're all there together. Yeah,

944
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: and I think he just brings everybody closer together. I'm

945
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: ready to go.

946
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 3: Right, like I could use a day in La Trobe

947
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 3: right about now in Charky. All right, doesn't sounds so bad,

948
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 3: But you're right. I don't think there's going to be

949
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 3: a lot of Steeler news in the coming weeks.

950
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 2: I don't. They don't need capspace does mean it doesn't

951
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 2: get done.

952
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 3: No, there's no rush. I mean, I don't think any

953
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 3: team all of a sudden is going to offer you

954
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 3: a DK Metcalf or any of those kind of conversations

955
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 3: are different now than they were two weeks ago. No

956
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 3: one's changing their you know, their their prices on any

957
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 3: of those type of things. Hang out, you know, just

958
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 3: get better with what you got and you're in fine shape.

959
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 3: They have such great cap flexibility that's going to continue. Yeah,

960
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 3: develop the young guys, you know, get there these two

961
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 3: new quarterbacks as acclimated as possible.

962
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 2: And Tomlin's on this stuff forever. Yeah, And well, I

963
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: mean the Steelers. So there's a misconception out there. I

964
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: think the Steelers they never change their ways. They just

965
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 2: do things the same way they do twenty That's not true.

966
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: It's not true. They trade. We've seen him trade a

967
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: future first round draft pick for MIKEA. Fitzpatrick. That was

968
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: something they hadn't done since the sixties, right right, right, yeah,

969
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: trade it up to go get Devin Bush. Now that

970
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: wasn't a great move, but it.

971
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 3: Still its uncharacteristic. Uncharacteristic.

972
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 2: They did the same thing for Broderick Jones. I mean

973
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 2: they've been aggressive.

974
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 3: They've been aggressive and frankly, I think Kevin Colbert's a

975
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame general manager. But it's pretty clear Omar

976
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 3: does things differently than Kevin. I mean it's bound to happen.

977
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 3: I mean they handle the team building stuff much differently.

978
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 2: Yes, it's no different, I mean great change. Kevin did

979
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 2: the things differently than Tom Donaho drawsome yeah, yeah, right

980
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 2: right right.

981
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 3: I mean so there's definite changes. They're not stuck in

982
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: their ways and they do things exactly the same. It's

983
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 3: not close to being.

984
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 2: True, no, I mean, you know, they they've they've they've

985
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 2: made adjustments on how they do things. I mean they

986
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 2: want to sign a veteran quarterback this year, yeah, right,

987
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 2: traded for another one that was you know, a top

988
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 2: wholesale change is at the most important position you know

989
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: a lot of one thing I noticed with Omar is

990
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 2: really churning the bottom of the roster. Like all these

991
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: receivers they've signed, they're not all going to make the team.

992
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: But throw a dart and see which bring them the

993
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 2: camp and battle it out.

994
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 3: You know, absolutely, it's it's good stuff. They're in a

995
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: good place right now.

996
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: They really are. And and uh, what's going to make

997
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 2: everything that much more interesting? I think when we get

998
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: to training camp and just watching some of these competition,

999
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 2: I think there's this is a really competitive roster.

1000
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 3: The O line is going to be very competitive, even

1001
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,479
Speaker 3: if we know who the five starters are. The wide

1002
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 3: receiver room is ridiculously competitive for yeah Corner, some of

1003
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 3: those young guys. How's the linebacker pecking order all shakeout

1004
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 3: and their roles? Does a Lee Au or a louder

1005
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 3: Milk or a Lee or somebody like a step Wow?

1006
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: We talk about him every lunch. You know that could happen.

1007
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 3: I mean Leow really stands out like maybe he could

1008
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 3: be that guy?

1009
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 2: Right Yeah, So so what's gonna be fascinating about it all?

1010
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: Matt will be there the entire way to uh to

1011
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: bring the listeners into that hopefully and give an.

1012
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 3: All new offense too. What's this Arthur Smith character doing. Yeah,

1013
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 3: it's gonna look different the way they draw up plays.

1014
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, but that's gonna do it for our show today.

1015
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 2: We'll be back well sometime next week. We'll see, hopefully

1016
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 2: one way or the other. We're going to do three

1017
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 2: shows next week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, whether that's whether it's

1018
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 2: standard from here on a whether it's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
