1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson show

00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,760
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
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 2: Welcome back, I'm Dale lawende is Matt Williams. I mean,

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: this is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio. Matt, I

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw this one, but ESPN has

7
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: done a NFL future power rankings projections for all thirty

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: two teams. This is like a three year projection on

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: where these teams are.

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: Been a part of these and they're not much fun

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: to write. I can imagine awful quick.

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean three years in the nfls is a

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: long time.

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: It's an eternity, right, I mean.

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: Think about where the Steelers were at three years ago.

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: One year ago we thought Russell Wilson was going to

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: take the Broncos of the Promised Land.

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: I mean like you're a team like for example, but

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: you're a team like the Jets. Where do you put

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: the Jets three years from now, Aaron Rodgers? You got

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: to be long into retirement.

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: Right and hopefully for their standards. You didn't have a

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: first round pick this year, and the other ones you

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: had since then are late because you've been pretty good

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: with Rogers. So where's this happened?

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, three years from now, the Deshaun Watson contract at

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: the Browns signed is out. It's done, it's over with,

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: and they have to make a decision do they re

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: sign to Shawn or they move on to a different quarterback. Like,

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: that's a long time. Three years. In the NFL, most contracts,

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: you know, even first round contracts now are only four

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: years plus an option.

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: But anyway, let's roll into this.

35
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: So when I got these assignments, sometimes they would ask

36
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: me to do five years. Oh, who are the who's

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: the top five running backs in the NFL five years

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: from now? Like little Johnny who's seventeen right now?

39
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: In high school college jet.

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, at number thirty two. Or the Arizona Cardinals. Their

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: overall score is a sixty eight point five. That is

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: well below So if you look at their overall roster

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: minus the quarterback, they get a thirty two. Quarterback is

45
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: a twenty five. Their twenty fifth, I'm sorry, coaching twenty ninth.

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: The draft their tenth in terms of what they have

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: in draft capital, and the front office gets a score

48
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: of twenty seven.

49
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: Bad team, bad team, But we're talking about three years

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: from now. Like I know, I mean hypothetical, and I

51
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: don't think this is a hard book to write. Is

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: they end up with a very early pick of Theirs,

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: a very early pick of the Texans, maybe even first overall,

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: trade Kyler Murray and his contract for even a third

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: round pick to the Vikings, and all of a sudden,

56
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: three years from now they could be the best cap

57
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: situation in the league with a stud quarterback.

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: Well, the problem so you look, when you're looking at

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: the overall roster, you're taking your quarterback out of that.

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

61
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're still thirty second. That's their problem right now.

62
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: It's horrible, will be it? Three years to build it? Sure?

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: At thirty one are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They rank

64
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: a twenty third in overall roster minus quarterback. At quarterback,

65
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: they're thirty second.

66
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Coaching a team like this, to me has a better

67
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: chance to be bad than the Cardinals. I know that

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: doesn't make much sense, but the Cardinals are at least

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: a year ahead of schedule on the rebuild. The Bucks

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: really haven't even started the rebuild yet, you know, Yeah,

71
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 1: we're just getting out of cap.

72
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Hell, they get a thirty two in coaching, twenty third

73
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 2: in draft capital, sixteenth in front office.

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Okay, the formula. I'm just gonna be pretty critical of

75
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: this one.

76
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: I'm feeling tied for twenty ninth. Are the Raiders twenty

77
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: sixth in overall roster, twenty eighth at quarterback, thirtieth in coaching,

78
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: twenty seventh in draft capital, thirty first in front office?

79
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: They should maybe last. Yeah, I mean you said, Matt,

80
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: you have three years to turn around the Raiders or Cardinals.

81
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: I would rather take the Cardinals.

82
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't disagree at twenty nine, No, right, twenty

83
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: ninth or the Houston Texans, they're thirtieth in roster minus

84
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 2: the quarterback, twenty third a quarterback, twenty fifth in coaching,

85
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: fifteenth in draft capital, thirty second in front office.

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: They should also have cap space in here, because that's

87
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: very critical.

88
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: Very critical. But I think that kind of works into

89
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: the front offices.

90
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: Say, I think that also ties in the front office.

91
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: So do you trust the front office to do anything

92
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: even if they know if they had the cap space

93
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: At twenty eight of the Rams, the overall roster minus

94
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: the quarterback is thirty first, and they've got Aaron Donald, Right,

95
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: all right. The quarterback is twenty third, Coaching is nineteenth,

96
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: draft is thirtieth, front office is twenty first.

97
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: Quarterback. I mean the quarterback in three years from now

98
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: isn't on the.

99
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: Roster, isn't on the roster, and they don't have a

100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: young one.

101
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean in what's his face from Georgia happens to hit.

102
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if their draft capital is

103
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: moving forward, but they've traded away, picked after picked after

104
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: picked over the years to.

105
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: It's getting better now they have there getting better.

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: They're not They're not saying FM picks anymore, right, right, right,

107
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: But now of a sudden the picks matter.

108
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: So like kind of like I said with the Cardinals,

109
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Houston hit rock bottom and is now climbing the first

110
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: rung or second rung on the ladder. The Rams are

111
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 1: still on the way down. They've even hit rock bottom

112
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: yet to start climbing back up.

113
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be this year.

114
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: I think it will be.

115
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: Yeah at twenty seven are their Washington commanders. Overall roster

116
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: is sixteenth, the quarterback situation is thirtieth. Coaching is twenty seventh,

117
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: draft capital twenty third, front office thirtieth.

118
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just in a critical mood. And I'm not

119
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: saying Sam Howe's good, But if we're talking about three

120
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: years from now, wouldn't you rather roll your dice on

121
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: the current commander's quarterbacks than Rams or even Jets for

122
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: that matter, just because I don't think Rogers or Stafford

123
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: has any chance to be there, Not that Hou's good.

124
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: Well, that may be true, but there's a history tells

125
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: us that there's a less than sixty percent chance to Sam,

126
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: How's the answer there? You're right, yes, and even if

127
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: he and by answer I mean a competent quarterback, not

128
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: a flop. Not a flop. He's a third round draft pick.

129
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: So I guess they have them ranked properly in that

130
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: Houston has a better quarterback situation than the Jets.

131
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they at least have a first round pick in

132
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: there that everybody thought highly of.

133
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay.

134
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: A better example at twenty sixth are the Colts. The

135
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: overall roster minus the quarterback is twenty ninth, quarterback situation

136
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: is twenty seventh, Coaching twenty sixth, draft capital sixteenth, front

137
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: office twentieth.

138
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: I guess I can't fight that.

139
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I think some people would look at that

140
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: overall roster ranking and say twenty ninth for the Colts.

141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the thing. I kind of raised an

142
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: eyebrow out that that's pretty pretty rough on them. But

143
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: the way they're built, their money's in guys like Buckner

144
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: and Nelson and Leonard, and one of their best players

145
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: is a running back. Are those guys going to be

146
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: functional in three years? Man?

147
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: It's a good question.

148
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: It's a good, really good question.

149
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: At twenty fifth are the Saints. The overall roster is nineteenth,

150
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: the quarterback situation is twentieth, coaching is thirty first, a

151
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: draft capital is twenty eighth, the front office is twenty eighth.

152
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: Surprise they get their front office get is rated that low.

153
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, unless it includes cap space. Because this gap face

154
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: has to be the worst in the next three years.

155
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: It has to be last.

156
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they've continually maxed out to the credit

157
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: cards and still haven't have nothing to show for it.

158
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I could see them being the worst

159
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: team of the year in the league three years from now.

160
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: At twenty four of the Falcons with an overall score

161
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: seventy four. The overall roster is twentieth, the quarterback situation

162
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: is thirtieth, coaching is eighteenth, the draft capital is nineteenth,

163
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: the front office is twenty ninth.

164
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: I like their chances to be good three years from now,

165
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: noticeably better than the Saints, whether whether Ritter hits or not.

166
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: They could sign Kirk Cousins Tannehill. Yeah, I mean, I

167
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I'm missing the point of this exercise

168
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: because I look at Atlanta and be like, they finally

169
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: got out of cap hell. They're starting to build and grow,

170
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: where a team like the Saints is trying to hold

171
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: a very creaky foundation together and in three years there's

172
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: tidle waves and tornadoes are going to hit the every

173
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: house in the league.

174
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: At twenty three are the Vikings twenty fourth, twenty fourth

175
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: and overall roster seventeenth, at quarterback twenty first and coaching

176
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: twenty fifth in draft capital and twenty second in front office.

177
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: Their moves have told us we don't really believe we're

178
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: a thirteen win team.

179
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 2: Well, this is the analytics, you know. So their GM A,

180
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: Dolfo Mensa, is a big analytics guy, so I'm sure

181
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: he's looking at this analytically and going, well, we shouldn't

182
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: have won as many games as we did last year.

183
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is is you did

184
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: win as many games as you did last year, and

185
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: your division's bad, and your division is bad. I mean

186
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: that's where I think analytics has a place in football,

187
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: but it can't be the overriding thing that run that

188
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: guides everything that you do.

189
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: Right See, I think they're playing the interesting game, I

190
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: was gonna say dangerous game, in that they know that

191
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: they're not a contender, but they do have a really

192
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: good young core though, I mean, Jefferson, darri Saw, they

193
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: don't really have the quarterback O'Neill, now Addison, you know, like,

194
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: but they're not.

195
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: You could make you could certainly make the argument the

196
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: Cousins is still the best quarterback in that division, in

197
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: one of the in one of the top five quarterbacks

198
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: in the NFC.

199
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: Right right, right, right. So I think they're trying to

200
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: straddle the fence of competing and rebuilding, which is tough

201
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: to do. But in that division they still might win it,

202
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: move on from Cousins and have a really nice nest

203
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: for next year's quarterback.

204
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: At twenty two are the Titans. The overall roster is

205
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: twenty eighth. The quarterback situation is twenty ninth, coaching is eleventh,

206
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: draft cap is eighteenth, and front office is eighteenth.

207
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: You know this, this Hopkins move is so Steelers like.

208
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: But I do think Vrabel has some Tomlin Harbaugh Carol

209
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: qualities where I'm not sure that his team can bottom

210
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: out and have the first pick in the draft. And

211
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: I think that he's gonna be more competitive every year.

212
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: And they actually believe it like some teams don't. You know,

213
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers believe it, the Ravens believe it, Seattle believes it.

214
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: But I hate their roster.

215
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: The roster is awful.

216
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean they don't have a line at all.

217
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what's Hopkins gonna be like in two years?

218
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: I don't see. Hopkins doesn't move the needle at all

219
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: for me, No, not really, not a thirty one. I

220
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: mean he never ran well to begin with, like and we.

221
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: Talk much about that. And oh, by the way, his

222
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: contract is very Odell esque in terms of an overpay.

223
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. At twenty one. Are the Bears the.

224
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: Oster like they're going the right direction?

225
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: Twenty seventh and roster eleventh at quarterback, Coaching is twenty third,

226
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: the draft capital stuff is fifth, and the front office

227
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: is twenty second.

228
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they may fall on their face, but

229
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: at least they're in step two of the rebuilt.

230
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 2: They're doing something. Yeah, they're not just spinning their.

231
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: Wheels, and a lot of resources do more.

232
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: At twentieth or the Carolina Panthers, the overall roster is

233
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: twenty fifth, quarterback situation sixteenth, coaching, fourteenth, draft twenty second,

234
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: front office twenty fifth.

235
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: They also have a ton of cap space next year.

236
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: Like I look at them in Houston and the sort

237
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: of similar light, but there's a lot more around Bryce Young,

238
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: especially on defense in Carolina than there is Houston. They're

239
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: an extend on Burns. And you know.

240
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: At nineteen are the Denver Broncos. The overall roster is sixteenth,

241
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: Quarterback situation twenty first, coaching six draft situation thirty first,

242
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: and front office twenty sixth.

243
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: Eleven teams have a worse quarterback situation than the Broncos. Oh,

244
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: for three years from now, I'm not talking about to

245
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: win in a month that quarter I mean, I would

246
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: hate that that might be my last quarterback situation I

247
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: won for three years from that.

248
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: Well, they did go out and sign what's his face

249
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 2: from the Raiders.

250
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's so little.

251
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: It's probably a little bit better than some situations, but

252
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: for now, not for now, right at seventeenth or the Giants.

253
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: The overall roster is twenty first, quarterback situation is fifteenth,

254
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: coaching is eleventh, draft is twenty first, front office is eighteenth.

255
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: Ton Hinges on Daniel Jones. But I like their young core,

256
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, Lawrence and Thomas the tackle and Thibodeau and

257
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, starting to put some guys around them. Okay,

258
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: I think that's where they're wrong.

259
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: Tied for seventeenth are the Cleveland Browns.

260
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna fight him on that one. I bet

261
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: you will too.

262
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: The overall roster eleventh, the quarterback fourteenth, coaching twentieth, draft,

263
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: capital twenty ninth, front.

264
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Office twelfth, cap space last.

265
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you know what I mean, Like, and

266
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: you gave up draft picks to get that, you know.

267
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: To get that quarterback.

268
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which is why your draft situation is twenty ninth.

269
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: Exactly, you know, And I know they don't have first

270
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: round next year, but I think they're back on track

271
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: after that. Draft wise, well, that's all.

272
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: Well and good, but you basically punted on two straight drafts, right.

273
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: All right, So how do you have the depth and

274
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: things of that nature, Because where I'm going with this

275
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: is we always talk about with them is well, you're

276
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna be cutting Jack Conklin and Amari Cooper and you know,

277
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: your cap situation is a disaster going for.

278
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: And then you gotta go sign guys to replace those

279
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: guys because you don't have the draft capital to replace them.

280
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: Right, So you get guys this time of year on

281
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: that you're overpaying again, or you get you know, bums

282
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: bombs that are still out there now on you know board,

283
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, the bottom of line deals, and just recycle

284
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: those guys and they're not good.

285
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sixteenth the New England Patriots.

286
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm curious where they put coaching on this one.

287
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: The overall roster is twenty first, quarterback situation is seventeenth,

288
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: coaching seventh, draft is nineteenth, front office is fourteenth. I

289
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: can see putting that coaching situation seventh because I don't

290
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: know three years from now Belichick's going to be there.

291
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say. I don't know where

292
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: i'd rank their coaching. I mean, I don't think his

293
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: seat is ice cold. But if they come in last

294
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: in the division, he wins six games, seven games, he

295
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: may quote, we may come to an agreement. I'm putting

296
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: that in quotes that Bill's going to move on. You know, Yeah,

297
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. My overwhelming take on all these teams

298
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: is none of them are in good shape. I mean, like,

299
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: none of them are set for three years of mouth

300
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to kill the drill. It's just three

301
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: years as an eternity. I mean, that's like predicting where

302
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: my son's gonna, you know, when he's gonna have his

303
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: first kid. I mean, like it's so far away. And

304
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: none of these teams are set up for three years.

305
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean three years or so long. Mac Jones might

306
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: be in the league and he's young.

307
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: At fifteen of the Jets, the overall roster's eleventh, The

308
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: quarterback situation is eighth, coaching is twenty fourth, draft is fourteenth,

309
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: front office twenty second.

310
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: I might even bump the overall roster considering how why

311
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: they drafted last year. The quarterback might be thirty second.

312
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: To me, well, I mean they do still have a

313
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: guy that they took second overall. He exists sitting behind

314
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, So maybe he learns something and gets better.

315
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: At least there's a young guy there that you can

316
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: look at and say, Okay, that's a.

317
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: Good point, because I always am hard on people that

318
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: right a young player's story, year two, year three. I mean, like,

319
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: these guys are allowed to get better. He's been horrible,

320
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: but doesn't mean he's done.

321
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: At fourteenth of the Packers, the overall roster is eighteenth,

322
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: the quarterback situation twenty fifth, Coaching is thirteenth, draft is

323
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: fourth in front office is tenth.

324
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: Extremely young team extremely in their case, and it's true

325
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: for a lot of these teams. Washington's another one. If

326
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: love stinks horrible, looks like Wilson, well think you'll get

327
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: another guy, you know, Like it's not like Russell Wilson

328
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: when you trade for him, or Watson when he trade

329
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: for him. If love doesn't work out, okay, maybe we'd

330
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: take a eighteen million dollar cap hit and cut him

331
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: or trade him for a six round pick and go

332
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: get somebody else.

333
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: At thirteenth of the Chargers, the overall roster is ninth,

334
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: The quarterback situation is sixth. Coaching twenty eighth, draft seventeenth,

335
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: front office sixteenth can't argue with that. I think the coach.

336
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: I think they're being held back by the coach.

337
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: The only thing I will argue is they have a

338
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a Brown's S quality where their cap

339
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: is about to be a nightmare and they haven't paid

340
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: Herbert yet. Yeah.

341
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: At twelve are the Dolphins. The overall roster is second,

342
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: quarterback is twelfth, coaching, fourteenth draft, thirty second. They've made

343
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: a lot of trades to it to a choir. That

344
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: roster front office is tenth.

345
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think there are a lot like

346
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: the Jets, where in the Browns where they're in it

347
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: to win it now, and three years from now it's

348
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: going to be a lot different. I mean, Tyreek and

349
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: Armstead will be gone and the cap will come back

350
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: to hurt you.

351
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: At eleven are the Detroit Lions. The overall roster is fourteenth,

352
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: quarterback situation tenth coaching, fourteenth draft, twelfth, front office nine.

353
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm very much on board with that. I like that

354
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: trending the right direction, good young core cool.

355
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: At ten are the Dallas Cowboys. The over Rousser's seventh,

356
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: the quarterback situation ninth, coaching twenty second draft, twelve front

357
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: office eight.

358
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've drafted well and they have a lot of

359
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: quality young players. Prescott's probably still around.

360
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: Tied for eighth are the forty nine Ers. The overall

361
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: roster is fourth. Quarterback situation seventeenth, coaching, second draft twenty sixth,

362
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: front office thirteenth.

363
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't have a lot of big picture concerns

364
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: with them. I mean, quarterbacks is something we talk about

365
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: a ton with them, but it does matter less to

366
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: that team than others.

367
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: Their time with Jacksonville. Jacksonville's overall roster is fifteenth, quarterback seventh,

368
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: coaching tenth, draft, eleventh, front office fifteenth. Still haven't gotten

369
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 2: to the Pittsburgh Stilts because they're up next. The overall

370
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: roster rank ninth. Quarterback situation twenty second. How do you

371
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 2: have the Steelers quarterback situation below San Francisco's.

372
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: Or twenty second period? I mean, to be honest, I've

373
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: never seen CJ. Stroud or Richardson or Young play a snap,

374
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: but those teams should be eleventh in quarterback situation because

375
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: you just don't know, you know that they're not over

376
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: the hill yet. I've at least seen Kenny play. I

377
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: bet three years from now he's an NFL starting quarterback.

378
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the same is true for Mac Jones,

379
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Daniel Jones, on and on and on.

380
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. Coaching is third, draft is ninth, front office is seventh.

381
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: I I'm not gonna fight it. I mean, it's a

382
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: very good young roster. Cam Hayward won't be here, But

383
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: what other foundational pieces are you going to be missing

384
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: at that point? You know that you don't choose to

385
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: move on from you know, whether you sign somebody or not.

386
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: At sixth of the Seahawks, the overall rosters, eleventh, quarterback, twelfth, coaching,

387
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: seventeenth draft, number one, front office number four.

388
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: This goes back to my thing though, Like if I

389
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: told you what is it's twenty twenty three. So if

390
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: I told you in July of twenty twenty six, would

391
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: you rather have Geno Smith or Kenny Pickett?

392
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: Not even close.

393
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: It's not even close. It's not even close.

394
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: I get banging them for their coaching situation because do

395
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: we think Pete Carroll's going to be there three years

396
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: from now? Probably not.

397
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: That's a Bellichick argument, right right right?

398
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, probably not? At number four, are the Buffalo Bills.

399
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: The overall roster is seventh quarterback, third coaching, fifth, draft, seventh,

400
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: front office three.

401
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean all single digit ranks. I think that's deserving.

402
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: It's a high quality group.

403
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: The Ravens are tied for fourth with Buffalo. The overall

404
00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: roster is sixth quarterback, situation, fifth coaching, third draft, eight,

405
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: front office two. I don't know if I I don't

406
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 2: know if I go with the front office being number

407
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: two anymore.

408
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: That was my sticking point. They would be very high

409
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: for me. They would be in the top ten without question.

410
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: Has this front office proven to be the Aussie front office?

411
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: I don't think it has.

412
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 2: I don't think it has at.

413
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: All, right, And they've had way more draft picks than

414
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: just about anybody else and haven't really hit.

415
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: At three. Of the Bengals, the overall roster is third

416
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: to quarterback, second, coaching, seventh. I don't know if I

417
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: agree with that either. Draft is fifth, front office fifth.

418
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. And my problem with the coaching is I think

419
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: the best coach on the staff is their defensive coordinator.

420
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: And he's not gonna be there forever.

421
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, he's not gonna be there right right?

422
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: Lions I also don't know that their front office is

423
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 2: fifth in the league either, because they don't they're not aggressive.

424
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: No, I think their front office is twentieth. Yeah.

425
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody was saying their front office was fifth five

426
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 2: years ago when they're you know, winning two games and

427
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: it's the same front office.

428
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: Yep. I do like what they do did in terms

429
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: of building the defense, and you know, they've made good

430
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: roster moves. I mean, they don't want to crush them,

431
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: but they would be high. But it's mostly because of

432
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: burrown Chase.

433
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: At number two are the Chiefs. The overall roster is

434
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: fifth quarterback and one coaching, one draft, three, front office fifth.

435
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: Who knows of Andy will be there or not, but

436
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: I mean there's only so much crystal balling we can

437
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: do in this whole process.

438
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that leaves us with the Eagles at number one.

439
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: The overall roster is one quarterback, four coaching, seventh draft,

440
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: second in front office one. Again, I don't know that

441
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 2: the coaching is seventh.

442
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't either.

443
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: If you're gonna sell, you're gonna tell me that they

444
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: have the best roster, the fourth best quarterback, uh, and

445
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: the number one front office. I don't know. That the coaches.

446
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's great or not. I have

447
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: no idea. Yeah.

448
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: So the Bengals lost the AFC Championship game, right, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,

449
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: because the Bills didn't make it. Okay, Yeah, my years

450
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: crossed the chances that three of the final four teams

451
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: are the top three teams in the in the league

452
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 1: three years now now no zero. I mean it's kind

453
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: of short sighted. You're good now, and you have a

454
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: good and you're good young quarterback. You guys will be

455
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: meeting in super Bowls for years to come. It's either

456
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: gonna be the Bengals in chiefs Furs the Eagles year

457
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: after year. No, what isn't Yeah.

458
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: Now, the guys who the experts who picked this were

459
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 2: Dan Graziano, Lewis Riddick, and Seth Walder.

460
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: So Walter is the analytics guy.

461
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see. I mean that that's why you know,

462
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: these kind of things are interesting. But really again doesn't

463
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: mean a ton because things can change so much. But

464
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers came out of this pretty well, as did

465
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 2: two of the three teams in the division as well. Yeah,

466
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: Steelers seventh, the Ravens what I say, fourth? Yeah, tied

467
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: for fourth and the a third.

468
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I to the overriding theme here for our show

469
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: is I don't see the division getting much easier going forward,

470
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: even over a three year stretch, which is forever. But

00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,400

477
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he is Matt Williamson. I am Dale, Ellie. We're

478
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: gonna take a break. When we come back, it's time

479
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: for the fantasy football focus. We will do that right

00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: after this
