1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: Our number two of the drive here as we are

4
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: about halfway point of the month of August, getting closer

5
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: and closer to the real thing. But obviously Matt's still

6
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: plenty to do between now and then, Yes, as a

7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: couple of preseason games and of course the final fifty

8
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: three man roster, which will be a little over a

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: week from now. I believe after those final set of

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: preseason games for teams across the National Football League.

11
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: Then there's a nice break there after cuts because all

12
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: those there's a tightal wave of the dudes that get caught,

13
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: and you can I always feel bad like for the

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: fifty Like when we go through this, oh, I think

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: maybe that guy Pierre sneaks in as a fifty third

16
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 3: guy and then they get a call like three hours later,

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: like Houston cut a guy we like better in your

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: year out, Like don't go having a party quite yet.

19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: If you're the fifty third dude, you.

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: Know, yep, exactly right. And that's the thing too. That

21
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: initial fifty three man roster is the initial because it

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: will change rapidly.

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 3: Well definitely gonna change about the year, but it might

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: get you. It might even get you an opening.

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: Day exactly right. But it is certainly going to change

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: rapidly throughout the year, but obviously a notable point in

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: this offseason process as well too. So I've got my

28
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: list for you here.

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it.

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: Twenty four on offense, twenty six on defense, and three specialists.

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: Where would you like to begin specialists?

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: Because gets us right, right.

33
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: That's probably the easiest. Chris Boswell, Cam Johnston and Christian

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: Coots yep.

35
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. Does Weightman have any chance?

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I wouldn't count him out now.

37
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, because on the pregame show, Jerry Dulac asked me

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: or brought it up. He's like, I think the only

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: position battle for starters is punter, Like he didn't think

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: it was a done deal.

41
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it's a done deal. I do think

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: maybe we focus on a little bit more because it

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: feels like the only true position battle for a starter

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: on this team, which is a weird place to be

45
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: besides maybe number two wide receiver, but we've had an

46
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: absence of Calvin Austin and a lot going on there

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: as well too. Yeah, yeah, I certainly think that in

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: the two preseason games there could be events that transpire

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: and Weightman ends up being the guy. I don't think

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: that that's far fetched.

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: I don't think it's insane.

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: No, But as we as you and I are here

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: on Thursday August fourteenth year of our Lord twenty twenty five,

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm going with Cam Johnson.

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 3: I one thousand would too. I would almost Chisewood and

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: Stone or right in pen. But going back to our

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: contract conversations, I don't know what both make, but I

58
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: know Johnson's more expensive. I mean, they purchased him and

59
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: they made him one of the highest paid punters in

60
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: the league. So it's one of the things he is

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: going against him is well, would I rather have weightmen

62
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: and two million to spend or would I rather did

63
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: I just give the Cam Hayward or would I rather

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: have Johnston? And so any tie is not going to

65
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: go Johnston's way. But I'm really biased in his favor

66
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: because watching him at camp, I think he's mighty awesome

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: and Weightman was a pleasant surprise.

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: I think he is twenty punter in the NFL.

69
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: He's going to be employed. He'll be fine. Somebody will

70
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: be thrilled to have them if I don't know if

71
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: he could turn them into a pick or not.

72
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: I was just going to say, if the Steelers had

73
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: that good of a backup at another position, you might

74
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: be able to turn him into a Day two pick,

75
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: yea like a third round or maybe a fourth rounder.

76
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: But at that position, I think teams will probably just

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: wait it out. To answer your question, Corless, Weightman cap

78
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: hit for this year would be just over million bucks

79
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: one point.

80
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: I assumed he was like league minimum.

81
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: One point one one point one million, okay, where Cam

82
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: Johnston would be three point four million.

83
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's close. It's you saved. Would you rather

84
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: have Johnston or Weightman and two million? That's where it becomes.

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: People don't think about that way, but and they don't.

86
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: Have We get against a million of bas and we yeah, right, you.

87
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: Know, we don't kill two birds, you know. And maybe

88
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: you could get a pick for Johnston easier than you

89
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: could for Weightman.

90
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: So interesting.

91
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: The more I thought about it, the more I think

92
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: it's actually a competition. But I'm still putting Johnson on

93
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 3: the final fifty three as we stand, Yeah, you too,

94
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: because he's really good he's I think he's a top

95
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: five punter, where Weightman's a top twenty points.

96
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. Like Corlus Weightman belongs punting in

97
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: the NFL.

98
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 3: On Sundays, Yeah, and he will.

99
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: But I think Johnston when he's on at his best,

100
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: he is one of the best in the National Football I.

101
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: Think he's truly a weapon. Yeah, like Dormy specialist, I

102
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: would use that word, or like Justin Tucker was a weapon,

103
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: you know, like they get past midfields, like oh man,

104
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 3: you know right, this guy he's got a wide variety

105
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: of punts and could be a weapon.

106
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: Cam Little keeps banging seventy yarders, that guy's a Guy's

107
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: a weapon.

108
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: Aubrey and Dallas is a weapon, you know right?

109
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: Uh, you want to go to the offense from there?

110
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe people'll do next segment, will do defense or whatever.

111
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: I can spend some time on it.

112
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: I feel like defense there's a little more meat on

113
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: those bags. For offense. It feels like, Okay, who's your

114
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: last receiver, who's your last.

115
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: Lineman, how many are you going to keep?

116
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: How many you're going to keep? Where's defense? I think

117
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: there's a lot of what are you doing with the

118
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: defensive backs. What are you doing with the defensive lineman.

119
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a little more of a juggling act.

120
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: And it doesn't shock me. I haven't done this officially,

121
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: but it doesn't shock me that you kept more defensive

122
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: players than offensive players.

123
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty four verse twenty four on offense, verse twenty

124
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: six on defense. There's not a massive difference, but but

125
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: a difference. Yes, three quarterbacks, Rogers, Rudolph Will hired again.

126
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: I'm just playing Devil's advocate here to stir up conversation.

127
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: What if Skyler goes out and if.

128
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 3: Skyler's awesome, I mean, if Skyler's awesome, could Howard's injury

129
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: and I've kind of put that in quotes put him

130
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: on IR for the year. It doesn't take much to qualify,

131
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: you know, there's some hangnails of people that go to

132
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 3: go get it for a year on IOF sure that

133
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 3: you just not want to move on from Skyler. He'd

134
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: have to be pretty amazing to me, and I.

135
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: Think he'd have to do what he did in Jacksonville

136
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: two more times.

137
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, all right to even have the conversation. And

138
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: I don't think you want to put Howard on IR

139
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: now where that ends his season, Like Parham and Lowry,

140
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: if you go and I are now it's done, it's over.

141
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: It's just a rule. I think you're still holding light

142
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: in the candle that he plays that third preseason game, right,

143
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's still a chance. We saw

144
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: him at camp. I mean, he isn't dressed, but he

145
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: wasn't doing nothing with a cast on either, you know,

146
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: like he was picking the ball up.

147
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: And throw it around, some footwork stuff and those kind

148
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 2: of things.

149
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: And Skyler and games in the game was really good.

150
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: But he's been around the block a little and you know,

151
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: when you're gonna get all those vanilla coverages, guys that

152
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: have played a lot of preseason football were gonna look

153
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: a little better. Yeah. Yeah, And he's been fine in camp.

154
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: But pre Howard injury, I wasn't like, oh, man, I

155
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: think it's Skyler Thompson on the field. What are we doing?

156
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: Totally so the world would keep revolving without him if

157
00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: he just gets cut.

158
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: It's not like we were screaming about how great he

159
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: was in camp and then he went and backed it

160
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: up in the stadium against against Jacksonville.

161
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: We were unhappy that we weren't going to see Howard.

162
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: Now here's a different conversation. And I don't know if

163
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: they've ever done this. And I asked one or two

164
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: people and I never got a really good answer, and

165
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: I didn't feel like doing the homework. If you cut Skyler,

166
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: I think immediately a lot of our listeners are like, Oh,

167
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 3: someone's gonna pick him up. He's awesome. I don't know

168
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: what they will. I mean, he's not Brett Favre. I mean,

169
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: he's not a special player. And if you pick him up,

170
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: you got to put him on your fifty three and

171
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: then you've got to teach him the whole system now

172
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: you know. And he probably wouldn't be active on game

173
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: day anyway for the new team.

174
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: And a lot of other teams have similar scenario to Steelers,

175
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: where it's like we've got our veterans, we've got our

176
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: young project guys.

177
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: I don't have a spot. Yeah, right, So if he

178
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: passes waivers, would you keep a fourth one on the

179
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 3: practice squad? It's kind of redundant. You don't need him

180
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: for practice week.

181
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: That's that's Will Howard's job for me.

182
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Will Howard's work, and the practice squads are

183
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: much bigger now and then he used to be like

184
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: six or seven dudes or whatever it is now, I

185
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: think it's thirteen or four.

186
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: I think it's six and sixteen plus an international exception

187
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: as well too, So you could tell, like, if you

188
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: get a Julius webshoff On on your practice squad, you

189
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: can have seventeen sixteen plus an international what's his face?

190
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: Williamson was one of those guys.

191
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, was one of those guys.

192
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't know. Maybe he

193
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: ends up on the practice squad but wouldn't do much

194
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: during the week. He probably just won't be a Steeler.

195
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: I think so too. Yeah, yeah, maybe maybe he has

196
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: earned himself another NFL paycheck for a year somewhere else

197
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 2: or on a practice squad, But I yeah, it.

198
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: Kind of reminds me of weight man that if you

199
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: do that well in a preseason game where everyone on

200
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: the planet is watching tape of it, someone's going to

201
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: pay to be. Probably a team that has two quarterbacks

202
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: and you're on the practice squad for them as the third. Yeah,

203
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: it's probably where he ends one of those many teams.

204
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: I think that's well said. Yeah, I got three running

205
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: backs as Well too. Jalen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell, Caleb Johnson.

206
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: I think gets pretty close to a done deal.

207
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: I'm trying to keep you know, some Max Harleman's of

208
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: the world, maybe even Hall on the practice squad. But

209
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: those three, I know what I've gotten, those three different

210
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: skill sets, different ages and points of their career. I'm

211
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: confident with those three.

212
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: I have no disputes at all with those three names.

213
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: They're all going to make the team. I would like

214
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: to be a little more confident with that fourth dude, though,

215
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 3: And maybe the next two games will I'll fall in

216
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: love with Evan Hall or Sermon or whatever. Or we

217
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: always know running backs get cut around the league. Somebody

218
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: decent will get cut. And I'm not even saying you

219
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: need them on this squad, but running backs injuries can

220
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: hit you hard, and all of a sudden you could

221
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 3: be down to only gain Well in week five and

222
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 3: be like, oh man, that happened quick, Yeah that happened quick.

223
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: Oh no, what are we doing here? And I don't

224
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 3: want to give him a massive workload and guy in

225
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 3: the practice squad's fine, but not really what I want.

226
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: And one of the issues is when turn this into

227
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: two segments. Get into these pretty heavy because he's a

228
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: kind of conversation I think they're having is it was

229
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 3: nice to have a Benny Snell because you play teams,

230
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: you know, like if he's my fourth running back, and

231
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: I know Connor Hayward could get you out of a

232
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: game there, but I don't want to hand him the

233
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: ball ten times against the Ravens Benny Snell.

234
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: And that's not even like we were in love with

235
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: Benny Snell.

236
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: No, but he was a good special teamer and was

237
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 3: going to be active on game.

238
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: No.

239
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: These you're going to help you on teams. I mean,

240
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: I know gain Well is a returner, but that's not

241
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: the same, you know. I mean, it'd be nice if

242
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 3: you had a fourth back or a full back or

243
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: you know, that was their Watt's job. You're in. You

244
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: go to that running back meeting room. We know we're

245
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: not gonna get hand to the ball, but you're a

246
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 3: great special teamer and we have one more body in

247
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: that room, you know. So they're a little short there

248
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 3: and it's not a big deal now, but it's a

249
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: big deal when it becomes a big deal. You know,

250
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: one of them as right, right, only really one injury,

251
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it starts to look thin let

252
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: alone too.

253
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: I think you are spot on there. I mean, one

254
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: injury to one of those three guys, and you're starting

255
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: to think we're a little light in the wallet, which.

256
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: I guess makes Herlman kind of interesting in that I'd

257
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: love to have him on the practice squad. He's like

258
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: the definition of the dudes we talked about at camp.

259
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: I want him in Saint Vincent's next year, yes, but

260
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 3: I also know that I'm comfortable with him being my

261
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: running back. No. I think he's more of a receiver

262
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: than a running back. I know he can do both.

263
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you on that, and uh,

264
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: I think that that is again you you want to

265
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: keep that guy around. If you and I were doing

266
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: our you know, list of like undrafted or relatively new

267
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: guys that we want to be at Saint Vincent next

268
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: summer for camp, he might be the first pist you

269
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: know of all the non established, all the non drafted guys.

270
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: Non pedigree guys.

271
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 2: Exactly right. I think he. I think he might even

272
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: be the first pick. And there's a couple couple names

273
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 2: that belong in that conversation but I'm with you, it

274
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: could get it could get fuzzy if if they have

275
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of injuries stack up at the

276
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: wrong time. But for now, that's the three I'm rolling in.

277
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's very safe. So leading up

278
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: to the draft drive, listeners will certainly remember Dale and

279
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: I just crushed mock drafts and did tons of draft

280
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 3: prep and all that, and there were times where we

281
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: would take a running back like in the Johnson range,

282
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: like in the third round something like that as a

283
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: potential starter, you know, and then the seventh just in

284
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: a super deep running draft, throw one at some other guy,

285
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: and it kind of be nice to have that dude around. Yeah,

286
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 3: like the seventh round guy that's oh he played a

287
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: lot in the preseason. He's better than Sermon and Hull.

288
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: You know, he's cost on clear number four. Yeah. Yeah,

289
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: they don't have to help on teams. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Boy,

290
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: he's learning how to like snow, he's learning how to

291
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: be a teamer. You know.

292
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: Let's let's do tight ends here as well too, before

293
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: we go to break. Yeah, because I think this one's

294
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: pretty clear cut as well too. I got four mouth

295
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: John U Mount Washington and Connor Hayward.

296
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: I don't think Hayward spots in Jeopardy.

297
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: I don't either, because of his special that they need

298
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: those special teams guys.

299
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: That's the key. I mean, he'll play a little bit

300
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: of offense, probably less than ever. Even if they play

301
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: more thirteen than ever, I still think he plays less

302
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: than ever unless there's injuries. I'm not part of the

303
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: tinfoil hat crew that well, they'll just cut Connor to

304
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: show Cameron cam who's boss or any of that stuff.

305
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: I don't think one's going to influence the other, although

306
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure there'll be some fans like they just kept

307
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 3: Hayward around to keep Hayward happy, or they just cut

308
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: them to make Hayward unhappy. Like, I don't think that's

309
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: going to influence things. He's got a body of work here.

310
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: I think he'll be a Steeler, yeah, and probably with

311
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: less offense than ever.

312
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: I think so too. I'm I think that's a great

313
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 2: way to put it. His value is still there on

314
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: special teams and you need those guys.

315
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: Is eighty seven good enough to unseat him?

316
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: And I don't think so.

317
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

318
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think so.

319
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: I don't see that.

320
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: I don't either, And again, like even more so than

321
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: most teams, and all teams value their special teams gas,

322
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: but I think the Steelers even more so than most most.

323
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and after it's a Tomlin thing, it's a Belichick thing.

324
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 3: We're keeping four or five really for.

325
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: That after Killer brew you could argue he's their number

326
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: two kind of special teams ace in that regard, James

327
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: Pierre might be belonging that conversation. There's there's a couple

328
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: other guys but chronic as well too. Absolutely, but they

329
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: want to keep that is you have a lot of

330
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: turnover on your special teams. If you can keep those

331
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: three or four kind of core guys leaders, Yeah, it

332
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: goes a long way for the Danny Smith of the world.

333
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's the beauty of Killer Brews. He's the captain

334
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: and he's in charge and they all fall after him.

335
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: But I think those four are safe.

336
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. So let's take a break here, we'll

337
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: do offensive line of wide receivers and start to take

338
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: a look at the defense. And we were turned on

339
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: the other side. Keep this fifty three man roster thoughts exercise.

340
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: Rolling along here was Shouler Matt Williamson Training competition of

341
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network,

342
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: your tuned.

343
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

344
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: the Black and Goals Steelers Nation Radio.

345
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: All right, mister Williamson, through our specialists, quarterbacks, running backs

346
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: and tight ends. Some of the easier ones, Yeah, some

347
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: of the easier ones, certainly wide receiver for me is

348
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: where it can start to get a little bit hairy.

349
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I can see a couple angles here.

350
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: But I think there's four locks, honestly, and then the

351
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: only question is who is your fifth and would you

352
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: potentially take a sixth? But I think DK obviously, Calvin, Austin,

353
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: Roman Wilson, and Ben Skronick.

354
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: Yes, people might not think Scar he's their fifth.

355
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: He's the lock. Yeah, that special team stuff that we

356
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: were just talking.

357
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: About, that might be confusing. He's one of the four locks,

358
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: but he's your favor receiver but also one of those

359
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: core special teamers. They gave him a contract. He's exactly

360
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: what they paid for in terms of finances and all that.

361
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: They were thrilled with him last year. And he can

362
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: run a round and be okay, and he can block,

363
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: and he doesn't embarrass himself on offense. Good enough.

364
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: Yes, so one two is not going to cut it. One,

365
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: two and three, set five, set exactly.

366
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 3: Well, you hope two's not set well? True.

367
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: Maybe there's some trickle down there, some bumping down the

368
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: pecking order. To me, I would like to have that be.

369
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: You know, in Welcome Stage Left, Amari Cooper gave Davis

370
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: player to be named later that we've been to Lawrence,

371
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: maybe somebody to be, you know, a Christian Kirk or

372
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: somebody like that from a different type of trade. But

373
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: to me, right now, as we again stand here today

374
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: on August fourteenth, feels like it's got to be Scotty

375
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: Miller or Robert Woods. And I'm leaning towards Scotty Miller.

376
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: They know him better, and I think he's had a

377
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: little bit better of a camp. So that's why it

378
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: wouldn't surprise me if they went Robert Woods. Yeah, but

379
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: I think they oh Scotty better, and I think he's

380
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: not by leaps and bounds, but just had a little

381
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: bit better of a camp.

382
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: I might surprise people, but I haven't given this much thought.

383
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 3: And that's when it came down to those two. Just

384
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: now is the first time. It's really crossed my mind.

385
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: You would have thought it'd be Woods before camp professional.

386
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: Miller really good seasons in the league.

387
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: I would say Miller's had the better camp.

388
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 2: I think so.

389
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: I think the familiarity you mentioned is important. Miller's been

390
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: a guy that we've often labeled is he's going to

391
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: be tough to cut. He does a lot of little

392
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: things for you. He can help on teams. I'm a

393
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: picking on the guy, but Robert Woods fielding punts was

394
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: hard to watch, and he's not gonna help on teams

395
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 3: in this phase of the game. He if Woods only

396
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: is your number four receiver value right, if he could

397
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: beat out Austin or Wilson, and then he's got a

398
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: strong case. I just don't see that being the case

399
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 3: right now, let alone if you add somebody else.

400
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: And I think if you do add somebody else, than

401
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: he becomes the one obviously that is on the Titanic

402
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: without a chair.

403
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I've kept six at times, perhaps especially with

404
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: one being like Hayward Bay or Scornic that's pure special

405
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: team or so that could be an option if they

406
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 3: were to add another. I can't imagine keeping six with

407
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: Miller and Woods being.

408
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: Totally agree Yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah, so that's again,

409
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: if they if they add you know, another wide receiver

410
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: player to be named later, this conversation will change. But

411
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: working with what we know right now, that's my five, Scotty,

412
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: Scotty four and Chronic five.

413
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: And who knows even they may make this decision on

414
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 3: cut day, cut Woods, and then Miller gets a call

415
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: in two days that we traded for Christian Kirky, You're out,

416
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: you know, they may not get the opening day.

417
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: And then finally, as it relates to the offense, Matt

418
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: offensive Lineman.

419
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 3: Yep.

420
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: This actually I think was maybe a little easier than

421
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: I anticipated. I had to spend a minute or two thinking.

422
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 3: About it, but because they're not all household names, et cetera.

423
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: But you know, I think the addition of Andre's Pete

424
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: kind of factory into this as well too. I'm going

425
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 2: to the starting five that everybody knows from left to right, Broderick,

426
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: Samalu are Superstar Champion, Zach Frasier, Mason McCormick, and Troy

427
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: Foultanu of course clearly, and then I'm keeping Spencer Anderson,

428
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: Ryan McCollum Andres Pete and Calvin Anderson, which would be nine.

429
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I think there's some discussion here.

430
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: I think they're definitely is some discussion here.

431
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 3: So has Pete done enough because he's really been a

432
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: part time practice guy. He's new to the thing. He's

433
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: got pedigree.

434
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: Though maybe I am projecting a little bit with that one.

435
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 3: Now, I'm not saying he's not. He also can play

436
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: left guard and left tackle and right guard if you

437
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 3: had to, so that in itself, I think is a

438
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: feather in his cap for sure. I bet some people

439
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: are going, why Calvin Anderson, Spencer's a lock?

440
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: Spencer, Oh, he's the fifth, He's the six man off

441
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: the bench.

442
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I mean he's been running with the ones

443
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 3: of this group has been running with and as.

444
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: Long as McCollum's healthy, I think he's a lock as

445
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: well too, your.

446
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: Guy that we've seen too. So I think those two

447
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: are definitely your interior backups. Now. I'm sure people are

448
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 3: going Calvin Anderson, I haven't heard anything from him.

449
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: What about Dylan Cook?

450
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 3: I would say Cook, I think is the guy that

451
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 3: could put a wrench in that.

452
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 2: He's the one that that was the difficulty.

453
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: So you might just get used to this, but I

454
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 3: never bring a laptop and I'm not going to search

455
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: for it. But can you pull up Calvin Anderson's contract lease?

456
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: I sure can.

457
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: Because this speaks volumes is. I can pretty much guarantee

458
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 3: Calvin Anderson is going to be in the team because

459
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 3: of the contract he just signed. He signed a two

460
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 3: year deal, so they rented him at the end of

461
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: last year. They liked them enough when underreported, but they

462
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 3: gave him a two year deal this offseason.

463
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: So he signed it and next year.

464
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 3: It's basically means he's making the team. You know, like

465
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: he got a little bit. I'm sure he got some

466
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: money up front, right, not probably not a lot, but

467
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 3: need you get some kind of bonus or some kind.

468
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 2: Of half half a mill?

469
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: Okay? For him? That's and they could get over it.

470
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: If he was awful, they could eat the five hundred

471
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: But you don't give a guy a two year contract

472
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: and not have intentions of him making the team. I

473
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: mean to me, that one kind of speaks for itself.

474
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: Sorry, five hundred k is roster bonus for next year.

475
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: This year eight and thirty.

476
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: K okay, so they signed him. I don't think anything's changed. Well,

477
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 3: I guess they did bring in Pete, but when they

478
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: signed that contract, they had every intention of him making

479
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five roster.

480
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 2: Yes, that's that's a good way to put it.

481
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't know if they'd move away from Cook.

482
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: You think it comes down to Pete and Cook potentially.

483
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: And maybe you keep ten and two or three I

484
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: mean probably eight or active on game day, give or take. Yeah,

485
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: Cook plays a lot of less. He plays both tackles,

486
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 3: and tackles are hard to find. And I just wonder

487
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 3: if Roderick would get hurt, would it be Cook off

488
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: the bench Repete? I mean, if he's your number one

489
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: backup or as a Calvin. We' haven't seen Calvin in

490
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: a while, right, Lately it's been Cook. Cook has been

491
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: your back.

492
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: Up left Ye, he's been your backup left tackle.

493
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just don't know if you can cut that guy.

494
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 2: This is one that I think when we get through

495
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: these final two preseason games will not be crystal clear,

496
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: but I think at least the waters won't be as

497
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 2: marky on maybe who the how like, we'll know more

498
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: about Pete at that standpoint. Yeah, I think we'll know

499
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 2: a little bit more about Cook, and at that standpoint

500
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: as well too.

501
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 3: If Pete's still fighting to get into shape and doesn't

502
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: by cutdown date to say, you know, like I don't

503
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 3: know see you? Yeah yeah, all right, math I have

504
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: a hard time leaving Cook off the list me too.

505
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that's a tough one.

506
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: Of all the offense, that was probably the one thing

507
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 2: that I struggled with the most, maybe even more so

508
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: than than Robert Woods and Scotty Miller.

509
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that one to me is kind of inconsequential.

510
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: This one means more, could mean more, and maybe if

511
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 3: the steal a defensive back off you're twenty six or

512
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 3: something like.

513
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: That, let's see what we do here, because that was

514
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 2: the I think the two most difficult positions for me.

515
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: I think we're maybe defensive line and your secondary, particularly

516
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: your corner, because you're cutting somebody good exactly right. And

517
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: so let's like, if the.

518
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 3: World revolves if I cut Woods or Miller, yes, but

519
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 3: I don't want to cut someone Trice that could end

520
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 3: up having a really good career. That's what it comes

521
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 3: down to.

522
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: So the big guys, you want to start with the

523
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: big guys or do you want to go right into

524
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: the secondary I.

525
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: Would do big to little.

526
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go big to little.

527
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: I like it. I don't know why.

528
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: That's like I like to go. If you're doing like

529
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: an alphabetical type list, I like to start at the

530
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: back because you know, my last name's Yueler.

531
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 3: That's you.

532
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: That's you're Williamson. When you're an elementary school and everybody

533
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: line up in alphabetical order, you always I was always

534
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: last lunchline. Recess. Actually get a kick out of the

535
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: water breaks. So now I flip it around the other way.

536
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 2: You can get vengeance for the people.

537
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: I guess you're a true champion of us. And if I.

538
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: Was a school teacher and everyone elementary school teacher and

539
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: they had to line up for recess, I'd go alphabetical

540
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: order backwards.

541
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 3: Nice And that's hard for people. They got to think

542
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: that way too before learning exercise. I'll be and used

543
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: could be tough, you know, But along those lines, I

544
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,239
Speaker 3: would complain all the time to my parents. You were like,

545
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 3: I'm always lost, and Williams soon him in the end,

546
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 3: and my mom be like, my main name is a Brovis.

547
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: You locked out?

548
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah z e b Yeah, like you moved up, dude.

549
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: She's like I was dead last Yeah. Yeah, did you.

550
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: Ever have X and Y in front of you? Right?

551
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 3: Right?

552
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can relate. We can relate on that one,

553
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 2: all right, big guys, defensive lineman, I'm keeping seven.

554
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: I would lean that way too, Cam, Yeah.

555
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: Ke, Derek Harmon, y A.

556
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: Black is number four. Yeah, and then it gets Harry. Well,

557
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 3: then at least he becomes a discussion.

558
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: Then at least it becomes a locks Daniel a Qualley,

559
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: Logan Lee and Isaiah Loudermilk. That gets you eight though, right,

560
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: that's seven?

561
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, because.

562
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: The four locks and then a quality Lee and louder Milk.

563
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough. So who gets the chop?

564
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 2: Then I Hoko gets the Yeah, I can pull it

565
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: up for you here. I had the list of of

566
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: everybody else.

567
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 3: The Lowery injury makes this like louder Milk is not

568
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 3: that he's like truly happy, but louder Milk's happy about

569
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: the Lowry injury. Ye, you're saying, you know, like it

570
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: gives him an opportunity.

571
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: So you'd be cutting Autumn wayo Fioko, Dominique, Davis, kyler Baugh,

572
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: the Marvin Leal if you're gonna consis yeah.

573
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 3: I think we caught we lump him with the edge

574
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: outside lineback.

575
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 2: I think so too.

576
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's safe.

577
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: Again, I would not have now, I wouldn't think that

578
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: I would continue to have louder Milk on these lists,

579
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: but I do.

580
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: I know. That's kind of where I was gonna go

581
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: with this. Like when camp opened, I thought they might

582
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 3: have eight or nine legit NFL D tackle D lineman

583
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 3: types with the potential of trading a Lowry or somebody

584
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: for a late round pick, with the assumption that louder

585
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 3: Milk wasn't gonna even be one of them, you know

586
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 3: what I mean. Like I don't want him in games,

587
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And maybe I'm missing something.

588
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: Maybe he's good enough, but the bottom of that group

589
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 3: isn't as strong as I initially anticipated.

590
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: Correct, You've had some you've had some injuries, right, right though,

591
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: Like you'd like to have Dean Lowry in the mix still.

592
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly, Like if he's your five and Lee's or

593
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 3: six and Le's your seven, it's like, oh yeah, yeah,

594
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 3: let's go, you know, right. Lee's also a tough of

595
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 3: you out for me too. You played four snaps in

596
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 3: that game, and I don't know if that's I've seen

597
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 3: a lot of protecting them or what.

598
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: And I'm kind of, you know, as I'm putting my

599
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: list together, I'm going around and I'm looking at everybody

600
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: else's lists to make sure one just has a reference point,

601
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: but really to make sure I'm not forgetting anybody.

602
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I do that kind of stuff too, right, And.

603
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: I tell you what I think, like about fifty percent

604
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: of the people you know in the in the Pittsburgh

605
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: Journal sphere that you know do these types of lists

606
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 2: and content for a living, like people that you and

607
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 2: I work with and like, And they were about fifty

608
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: to fifty on Loganly.

609
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 3: I can imagine why it wasn't like, boy, he's blowing

610
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: camp up now. A lot of people told me that

611
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 3: they were very disappointed when he got injured, like they

612
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: were high that they were. They thought they kind of

613
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 3: snuck one, not to like the y a Black level

614
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 3: of mid round pick that they think iowoa by the way,

615
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 3: but man, we were really happy we got this guy

616
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 3: in the sixth round. He should be a fourth rounder

617
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: and he looks like that here and maybe that's still

618
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 3: the case. And they just don't want to put him

619
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: on tape and they're happy with him. I don't know.

620
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: I think you see, I think so too, and again

621
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 2: for him, and there's a lot of guys in this

622
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 2: in this department, but for him, I think these final

623
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 2: two preseason games are are pretty big, pretty pretty big.

624
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: But if he hardly plays at all, that either means

625
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: they just assume they're gonna cut him or they're yeah, yeah,

626
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: and we don't want to.

627
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 2: Maybe if you want to go tenfoil hat again. Right now,

628
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: they're just trying to hide them. They know they've got

629
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: to they know they've got to stud and loganly, and

630
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: they're just trying to keep them quiet till the regular see.

631
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I doubt it's we're gonna cut him and

632
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: we just don't want to anyone get in tape, so

633
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: they pick him up. That's something you do with those days,

634
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: all right. I'd love to know, actually, and maybe I'll

635
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: look into it. How much did what's he do Thursday

636
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: against Bucks? If he plays a lot, that tells me

637
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 3: a ton totally. Yeah, Yeah, before the seven there's a

638
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 3: good possible.

639
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: I think it's a good I think it's a good

640
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: number for now. Yeah, before we go to our last break,

641
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: let's do edge rushers because this one pretty easy as

642
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: well too, TJ Alex Herbig Sawyer.

643
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a case for Leo. I think he's an

644
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 3: odd man looking in though.

645
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: I do too. Yeah, it felt like and again I

646
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: know they are technically now classified as different positions, but

647
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: it felt like a two dogs, one bone situation for

648
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: louder Milk and Leo coming into this this train. Yeah,

649
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 2: with all that they added to the defensive front.

650
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 3: And might still be Yeah, you know, I mean if

651
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 3: if leol What I don't know is I know Loudermok

652
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: gives you nothing on teams, none of the d tackles do.

653
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: Leo at least is involved, But I don't think he's

654
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: considered anything close to a core guy. Can he give

655
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: you anything on kickoff, coverage or return? He could definitely

656
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: fill in with some detackle stuff, But I just kind

657
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 3: of feel like all things are colliding and you're on

658
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 3: the outside looking at you know, I agree, you know, well,

659
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: welcome to Dumpsville population. You you know, it's just like

660
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 3: like eventually that time comes.

661
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: It does. You cannot stay on scholarship forever. No, as

662
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: much as we would all like to be van Wilder.

663
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 3: I mean, what does THEE Unless two guys get hurt

664
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: at outside linebacker? What am I getting out of him

665
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 3: on game day? That's that's what he comes down to.

666
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: Loudermok might give me eight snaps of not so great play,

667
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: but at least he gets his jersey dirty.

668
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, Yeah, one hundred percent. And again too,

669
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: like you can use that outside line you can use

670
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: that international exception thing and keep Welshoff as an extra

671
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: guy in your practice school.

672
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean that's part of the

673
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 3: gets factored in.

674
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's as good as Leal, but he's

675
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: easier to stash on the roster and doesn't take up

676
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: any space.

677
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: You're gonna have him for free anyway. I mean, he's

678
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: going to be a Steeler, correct, right, right, good points.

679
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: Take our final break. We'll do off ball, linebackers, corners

680
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: and safeties to round out the show and round out

681
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: this exercise. West Shooler Matt Williamson. It's the Drive on

682
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network.

683
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: Your tuned about drive on your twenty four to seven

684
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal. Steelers Nation Radio.

685
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: Final segment here of our final training competition of the drive,

686
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: West Shuler and Matt Williamson all in anticipation of well,

687
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: a big joint practice that was had today and then

688
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: of course Saturday night's loan preseason game at Akershire Stadium

689
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: under the light seven pm against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

690
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: A lot's gonna happen before we talk again.

691
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: A lot is which is, which is, which is always

692
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 2: good for people in the content business, right that you

693
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: got to have plenty in the hopper, But right now

694
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: we got to finish some fifty three man roster thoughts

695
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: as we stand here August fourteen, with some predictions off

696
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: ball linebackers. Matt, This one I think is pretty cut

697
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: and dry as well too. I got them keeping five Patrick,

698
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: Queen Peyton, Wilson, Malie Harrison, Cole Holcom and Mark Robinson. Okay,

699
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: I could see if it was four, but they've they've

700
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: they've kept five a lot of times.

701
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: So this is sort of side note. Is I'm excited

702
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 3: for Wilson again to kind of be the quarterback of

703
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: the defense because he's not on that inactive list. Queen

704
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: is I thought he looked phenomenal. It was a short

705
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: stretch but I wonder could he even be the green

706
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 3: dot guy in Week one, just like Queen running hit,

707
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: et cetera. But anyways, compliment to Wilson, could Hulcomb be

708
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 3: a trade candidate? Hmmm, he's one of the I mean, it's.

709
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: A position to need across the league.

710
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got a lot of starting experience. He's kind

711
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 3: of buried as a three here. His contract's not awful.

712
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: He was signed to be a starter way you know,

713
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 3: two years ago. And and if he puts, if you

714
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: feature him in these next two games, and I can

715
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 3: have a lot of tape to show the Commander's Cowboys Eagles. Whoever,

716
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: could I get his six round pick for him and

717
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: save a little money. Maybe I'd probably just be comfortable

718
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: saying he's a nice three or just going to keep him.

719
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: You know, he was a nice break glass of emergency.

720
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: Finding another six that bad? Probably not. But anyway, he's

721
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: one of the few guys I could see potentially getting traded.

722
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 2: Someone gets has an injury and gets desperate and says, hey,

723
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: here's a fifth round pick for him. Yeah.

724
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: Now, I bet there's some listeners going, what's Harrison do

725
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 3: for me? And I think that's debatable, but the day

726
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: they signed him, they all really went into detail about

727
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: this and I thought it was well done because when

728
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: we previewed free agency, I thought of landing Robert to

729
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 3: be back. Yeah, good stealer, team guy, easier root for,

730
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: toughest could be and he signed for a decent amount,

731
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: but not insane amount. Right, he could have brought him

732
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: back at the same price. Now, I think Roberts is

733
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: a better true linebacker than Harrison, but they're the same

734
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 3: mold in that they are pure slow thumper. Thumper nineteen

735
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: eighty five hit Henry in the hole thirty years ago

736
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: would have been a Pro Bowl, right. You know, they're bangers,

737
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: they're big, they're heavy, they're both good pass rushers, they're

738
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: downhill players, but you don't want them turn and running.

739
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 3: And on this team, that's your fourth linebacker. And if

740
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: Roberts were back, I'm not even sure he wouldn't be

741
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: the fourth. Still, he would not be part time with

742
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: Wilson anymore. Agreed, I don't know that he'd beat out Holcombe.

743
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: So the way Dale laid it out was, Okay, Harrison

744
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: replaces that thumberness. You still do have the ravens in

745
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: your You know made and it's his old team. He's

746
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 3: super familiar with them. He's probably took on Patrick Riccard

747
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: in practice eight thousand times. And he's your Matta Kaevich

748
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: because he's an accomplished special team. Yes, Roberts isn't a teamer,

749
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: you know, So you get Roberts and ninety percent of

750
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 3: mat of Kyevich at less than what Roberts costs. So

751
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 3: I think that's what he gives you. But he could

752
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 3: be like Connor Hayward or Scronic where I don't really

753
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: want them playing defense either. You know, we'll get that

754
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 3: with Pierre and those guys. Mark Robinson. I think he's

755
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 3: had a good camp. I think he's getting to be

756
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: a better linebacker. I think these next two games will

757
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: be crucial for him, you know, be highly productive. He

758
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 3: is a core special teamer and I think they're happy

759
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: with them. But I don't think they think he's indispensable

760
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: as a special teamer, you know what I mean. Like

761
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 3: Scronic's better, Pierre's better, kill it is way better. Yeah, Hayward,

762
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 3: like I don't know that he's the world would still

763
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 3: move keep rotating special teams wise without them. So I

764
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 3: could see if we decided I can't move on from

765
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: Dylan Cook. Maybe this is where you cheap out a

766
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: little bit, maybe you know what I mean. But I

767
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: think I would put five on there too, and it

768
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 3: would be those five.

769
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 2: That if you got to a position where you needed

770
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 2: to cut one from the defense, I think that would

771
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 2: be you'd Yeah, but again, this is all just as

772
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: we stand here today with with this roster and the

773
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: current health and what we know.

774
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 3: But that means cutting a draft pick.

775
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: It sure does, unless you're able to get him on

776
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: the practice.

777
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 3: Squit, which I absolutely think, and they develop.

778
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 2: Him as one of your next core special teams guys.

779
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 3: And I know he's easy to root four two and

780
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 3: we know his dad is I think Brunner is Matty Kayvich.

781
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: I don't think he's ever going to be a contributor

782
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 3: at linebacker. I think he'll be a great special.

783
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: Team Let's do safety real quick before. Yeah, that's a corner,

784
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: because safety is an easy one. Deshaun Elliott, jan Thornhill,

785
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: Chuck Clark, Miles Killer Brow.

786
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 3: Yep, done, easy piece. Yep. It's a little like the

787
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 3: running back conversation though, that you could play some big

788
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 3: nickel with a three I don't want Killer Brew ever

789
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 3: being on the field. And why I say it's similar

790
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 3: to the running back conversation is if you have won

791
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 3: safety injury all of a sudden, you're lost all of

792
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 3: a sudden. It's like, oh, you know, Killer Brew's got

793
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 3: to play some if I have to, or Ramsey's playing

794
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 3: more safety than I want. But the Ramsey being able

795
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 3: to play safety is also important here.

796
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: It's also a nice life sure to have, all right.

797
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: And then the group that was the most difficult for me,

798
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 2: no question, Corners. I got six four locks, four locks, Ramsey, Slay, JPJ,

799
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: and Eccles.

800
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, people might not look at Eccles that way, but

801
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 3: he's a locked and he's very valuable to me.

802
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 2: I agree.

803
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: I think he backs up all three of them.

804
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say he's your first man off

805
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 2: the bench for all of those, For.

806
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 3: All three of those guys, I think he's your second slot,

807
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 3: which is gonna hurt your boy, Beanie.

808
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 2: But no doubt, and That's where I'm going. So I

809
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: think it comes down to two spots for three guys. Yes,

810
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: I agree, James Pierre, Beanie Bishop and Corey Trice Junior.

811
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 3: And they're so different and they're so.

812
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: Different and they all you can make arguments four and

813
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: against all of that absolute fifth one. First one I

814
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 2: took was James Pierre because of the special teams acumen

815
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 2: that you know that they love.

816
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 3: And what's nice now compared to other Pierre years with

817
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: the Steelers, he's a lot further away from playing defense

818
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 3: and he's gonna be active on game day, but those

819
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 3: other four will too. Like he almost eats two injuries

820
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: to actually see the defense, yes, where there's been other

821
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 3: times where it's like these guys besides Porter aren't very good.

822
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: He's going to have to get out, have to get right,

823
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 3: and I don't want that, you know, I don't think

824
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: he's gotten any better on defense, but the team stuff

825
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 3: is huge. What's funny about these three is they all

826
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 3: have a calling card and they're all so different. They

827
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 3: did his calling card special special Teams, and that's a

828
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: good one.

829
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 2: And so it came down the Beanie and Corey Trice,

830
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: And like I kept thinking about this in theory, I

831
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 2: would love to take Corey Trice, but I kept coming

832
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 2: back to the best of ability is availability, Yeah, and

833
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: he just hasn't had it enough through his two plus

834
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: years in the league, and so I went with Beanie

835
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: Bishop as my final fifty third man on the roster.

836
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 3: Which I totally get now I think this argument. First off,

837
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 3: I was gonna say Trice is six to two and

838
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 3: Beanie's five.

839
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 2: He's an avatar, that's what he has got in all theory,

840
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: you would if Corey Trice could stay healthy, he might

841
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 2: be with the locks in this group.

842
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 3: Yes, he may even be a starter next year, you

843
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 3: know what I mean, like Slagh moves on, retires whatever.

844
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 3: He might be your outside corner with Porter and Ramsey's

845
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 3: doing Ramsey stuff. You know, like that's not insane to

846
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 3: me either.

847
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: And if they still think that he is that guy,

848
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 2: it'll be him on that.

849
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 3: Because he's six two outside corners absolute lots that are

850
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 3: mediocre throwing trees. But this one also comes down to

851
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: the team doctor is in the room, Hey Doc, can

852
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: we keep this guy on the field or is it

853
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 3: just going to be a continual never is going to

854
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 3: be around because the see your nation lost their mind.

855
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 3: Trice fell the seventh round. Can you believe that, well,

856
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 3: you know why he fell because he couldn't stay on

857
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 3: the on the field.

858
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 2: Then right, the same issue Perdue, Yeah.

859
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: And he went to the combine and doctors didn't like

860
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 3: him there, you know, So that's why you give him

861
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 3: the seventh round, not the fourth or third, so that

862
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 3: he's done nothing to change that.

863
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 2: But that's not an injury so hard if this was

864
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 2: if this was Madden, right, yeah, yeah, And I could

865
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: turn injuries off like you can go into the settings

866
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 2: and turn injuries off. And Madden, he's a fifth guy.

867
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: He's he's without a doubt on my mind, yes, right,

868
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: and and and and Beanie is is you know, we'll

869
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: find somebody practice squad or somewhere else. But unfortunately the.

870
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 3: Argument against Beanie though, in addition to this, is because

871
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 3: of Eccles and because of the Ramsey trade.

872
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: He can only play nickel and he's your third best

873
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: one on the rock, third string nickel.

874
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, is that good enough to keep around, especially he

875
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 3: had a couple of picks last year, you know? And

876
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 3: would he get scooped up or not be on a

877
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: practice squad If he is, so, be it good for him?

878
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 3: That means he's playing for somebody else.

879
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 2: Would you see a scenario where they would only keep five,

880
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: where they'd say both Corey Trice and Beanie Bishopsy later

881
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 2: and they'd only keep five.

882
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 3: Hmm. They would really not be comfortable with Trice as

883
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: medical which I don't know what they are. Maybe the

884
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 3: doctor comes in and says, I thought Trice was past

885
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 3: all this. This is just a flukey injury. He'll be fine.

886
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 3: Then you got to keep them short. And I bet

887
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: K keeps six because they're just good football players like you.

888
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 3: Ever are cutting there probably is gonna have a job

889
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 3: this year somewhere.

890
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting to see. But I think

891
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 2: that's the biggest group to watch over these next two

892
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 2: preseason games and this this next week or so.

893
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: But poor Beanie's looking at it like, I mean, if

894
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 3: you keep him, he's not active on game day right now. No,

895
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: he'd need an injury to be active on game day.

896
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 3: And he's still a backup, right you know. I mean,

897
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 3: Echoes would be your starting nickel if Ramsey couldn't go.

898
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 2: It's crazy how quick that happens. Yeah, three hundred and

899
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 2: sixty five days ago, Beanie was one of the darlings

900
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: of camp.

901
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 3: Here's the starter.

902
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 2: Here's this undrafted guy who's running.

903
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 3: With the starters, let alone, three and sixty five days ago.

904
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 3: Sixty five days ago, he was a starter, you know

905
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 3: what I mean. It was your weakest link in a way,

906
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 3: you know, I mean they people picked on him and

907
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 3: they changed that, but he was a starter. Yeah. How

908
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 3: many other guys we have of all of our cuts,

909
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 3: who else has starts under their beltol?

910
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 2: I mean there's definitely some, but not maybe an old

911
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 2: guy as many as is him?

912
00:40:59,200 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 3: Right?

913
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 2: Interesting, interesting, fun, it's certainly fun exercise, something to keep

914
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 2: an eye on.

915
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: You might do it once a week.

916
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: I think that that might have to be something with

917
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: it that's kept in the hoppers, certainly.

918
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: Because somebody's go going e R between now and then.

919
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 2: You know, you know, it's unfortunate, but it's absolutely the truth.

920
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 3: Right. They might add a body by then, who knows.

921
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 2: That will do it for our programming here for the

922
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 2: rest of the week, but of course we will have

923
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 2: plenty of coverage of Saturday's preseason game against the Bucks.

924
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: Matt will be on the pregame and the postgame show, the.

925
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 3: Pre pregame, the pregame, pre game, and the post game.

926
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: He's got thirteen jobs, mane.

927
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:34,520
