1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back.

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lilly here with Matt Williamson, and it is

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: a Monday after Well we're not quite through week. There's

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: four more and there's a team. So this is a

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: game tonight. It doesn't involve any of the a f

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: C team. Good game, but it's good game though Arizona

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: and the Rams um the Rams can still both teams

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: actually still have a lot to say about potentially who

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: wins the f C North. I guess you're right as

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: well as you know. We didn't talked to NFC playoff picture,

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: but I mean, I think both these teams are going.

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: But who's getting buys and things like that, And just

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: watching yesterday progress, Tampa's legit, the Packers are legit. I'm

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: curious if I'll say the same about the card tomorrow

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: or not. And they already spoke the Rams once this year,

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: like I thought the Bills were legit, you know, even

18
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: though they lost, you know, things like that. One thing

19
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: that they got talked about a lot this weekend. Mett

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: was the UH and continues to be a hot topic

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: NFL Defensive Player of the Year m VP awards. We've

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: seen all this stuff. There's I don't there's no clear

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: cut front runner on any of these awards. Who would

24
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: you vote for for m v P. I feel like

25
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: it's falling to Brady should be Aaron Rodgers. Should be

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, I think too. And side note, I thought

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: it was interesting because I was saying I've been thinking

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: the same thing for a week or two. Collins Worth

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: and those guys were saying last night that they just

30
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: kind of get this vibe that Rogers is happier in

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay than he was before. You know, you wouldn't

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: win the games. It feels pretty good, like here's the thing.

33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: You want to go to Denver and start over. And

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was listening to the radio last night,

35
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: listening to the Bucks this game. I'm out on my

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: way to to do TV, and they brought up this

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: stat this is why Tom Brady shouldn't win the m

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: v P award. They scored their fiftieth touchdown last night,

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: fiftie offensive touchdown. Third year in a row, they've scored

40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: fifty touchdowns. He's only been there too, Like people act

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: like that was a broken team that he took over.

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't. I'm proud of us because before he was

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: a buck. We said many times, if they get a

44
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: quarterback that doesn't throw thirty touchdowns, this teams will be

45
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, because wins, right, because he also did

46
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: some good things. I'm not saying, Yeah, I'm not saying

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: if Mason Rudolph is the quarterback, but if it's any

48
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: NFL starter, well that's why Tom went there, right, That's

49
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: why he went there. The pieces were scored. They have

50
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: never done that before in their history, scored offensive touchdowns. Right.

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: So still, I mean, he's having a great year. He's

52
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: starting a ton of touchdowns. He was great. I think

53
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: i'd get with the Rodgers too. He's I mean, he's destroyed.

54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: He saw what they looked like when they didn't have him.

55
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and he does much less around here. He's

56
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: a team he has O line injury after O line

57
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: injury and the best guys and they give up a

58
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: nineties seven year a kick return. He's like, Okay, I'll

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: just take it. He's my favorite quarterback of all time.

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: I would be honest with you. I mean, he's the

61
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: one I would with all respect to Brady. The guy

62
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: I would at least want to play against in the

63
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: history of the league is Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. I mean

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: he's been remarkable, But why would he want to leave?

65
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: I mean, can't you mend that fence and franchise you know,

66
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: Adams and run it back and trade love to the

67
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Falcons or something or you know what I mean. I

68
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: don't disagree, Yeah, I don't disagree. Yeah, I don't know

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: that he goes anywhere. Why it's gonna be a worse

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: situation ere he goes. Yeah. So, uh so that's a

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: that's a topic. Defensive Player of the Year is obviously

72
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: a big topic in Pittsburgh and t J. Watt quite frankly,

73
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: his his candidacy took a big hit. Oh yeah, Thursday

74
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: night by not finishing that game in week fourteen or

75
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: whatever week this is. Yeah, definitely went backwards. He's essentially

76
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: now missed four full games. That's says he just is

77
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: on the field enough. I mean there's one negative against

78
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: what is snaps played. You know, you just don't know that.

79
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: But the defense as a whole is not good. That

80
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: doesn't help. That doesn't like you can you get I know,

81
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: Khalil mack one defensive player of the Year with the

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: Raiders the one year and they were like twenty in

83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: total defense. Yeah, Masse, but he played last year. He

84
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: played every game right, and Watt's defense was a lot

85
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: better last year, you know. Um, but it was also

86
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: some guys coming on Myles Garrett's number one. He was

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: awesome again in this game. Destroyed villain a wave, had

88
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: a highlight reel, play, sack strip score, you know, all

89
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 1: in one. He's done nothing to hurt himself. The dark

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: horse guy is Nick Bosa to me, like I was

91
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: watching him yesterday to go and this dude's remarkably knew

92
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: who else should be on l is Trey Henderson. He

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: actually got hurt though, I know. But he's been really

94
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: good to play really well, really really well. Both those

95
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: guys in yesterday's game. I think Parsons has a case.

96
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: Parsons has a case as well. Yeah, Like it's a

97
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: it's a wide open field right now, and that it's

98
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: gonna depend on who finishes strong. Yeah, t J. I'm

99
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: not knocking t J because he's been the most productive

100
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: per snap. Just needs more snaps. He needs to be

101
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: on the field. He can't miss any more time. You know,

102
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: people want to talk about the cornerback in Dallas. Uh No,

103
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: he gets he's he's Marcus Peters. Yeah, there's a lot

104
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: of bad Yeah, I mean sure, there's a lot of interceptions.

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: I get that, but there's too many. Shouldn't get a

106
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: single vote. There's too much. He's not even the best

107
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: on his team, and right, no, I think that's that on.

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean there's guys like Jalen Ramsey has been really good,

109
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: Derwin James, I've I've talked down about Matthew Jude on

110
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: before as well, a really good edition. He's played well

111
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. He's a perfect Patriot. Yeah, I mean,

112
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: just a tough, physical verse and their defense is playing

113
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: outstanding league. Yeah yeah. Chris Jones comes to mind a

114
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: little bit too, and they they've really turned things and

115
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: teaching me plays off he does a little bit. But

116
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a two horse race. So still I

117
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: think it's Garrett and and what but what can't miss

118
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: any more time? You can't miss you can't any more time? Right? Um.

119
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: By the way, still hasn't sacked Lamar Jackson. Hasn't he

120
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: get a sack yesterday? But it wasn't on jacks On

121
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Jackson does did the Steelers lose every game they didn't

122
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: have what? Yes? Okay I thought so, yeah, I was

123
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: almost certain of that. Or you know that he didn't

124
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: play the majority of Yeah, if he doesn't, if he

125
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: if he doesn't finish the game, they don't win. I mean,

126
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: he's clearly one of the most valuable players in the league,

127
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: you know by how it's you know, written up. So

128
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: we'll see how that this week. Okay, No, I think

129
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, the extra little extra time off, I would

130
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: expect to see him out there. Yeah, I would assume

131
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Same with Eismith. Yes, yeah, yeah, that's a

132
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: quad and they announced it as a knee. I'm like, oh,

133
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: that's not good. They really could have used one of

134
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: those two down the stretch last week. A little bit

135
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: of pass right from a long way Thursday, I mean

136
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: Taco Charlton. People continue to rave about uh um Melbourne Ingram.

137
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: He's got one sack for the Tech for more attention

138
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: to him the last couple of weeks because their defense

139
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: has gotten He's been really good. The beauty of Ingram

140
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: for them is now they can Chris Jones back the

141
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: defensive tackle they were playing Jones out of place at

142
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: a end. I'm not sure why they thought that was

143
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: a good experiment to begin with, but they've become a

144
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: lot better and Jones has become better and they kicked

145
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: him inside, but their defense didn't get kicked started when

146
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: Ingram got no. And then people are making that and

147
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: what he's playing and I saw it, well, he had

148
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: half a sack there. Taco Charlton has been productive for them.

149
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: He's he's potentially I would I would rather stick with him,

150
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: sign him, sign him back next year, bring him the

151
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: camp at least and saying okay, you know, give him

152
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of money, not a lot, but a

153
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: little bit, and you're not gonna to compete with anybody

154
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: from right and just say, okay, you you've got You've

155
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: had a year here now and we we like what

156
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: you can rotate in there. Because I think there's a

157
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: little something there. Yeah, I mean it happens every year

158
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: to every team, But there are five stealers or so

159
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: that no one counted on when the season opened that

160
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: are interesting. You know, Laglou and Witherspoon, and you know,

161
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: I think Witherspoon's are fined. I think Weatherspon's are fined

162
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: and you know they gave filming it up for him. Yeah,

163
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a worth the money. Um. Contrary with

164
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: popular belief in the first three months of this season,

165
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about Adams, but I'd like to see more.

166
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see. I mean, he's some of these

167
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: guys are. They have opportunity and they step up. Yeah. Um.

168
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: Jeremy Foller wrote an interesting piece over the weekend looking

169
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: it's predicting the NFL potential free agent quarterbacks next contracts

170
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: and where they might land. Once again, we could have

171
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: a lot of movement and obviously this is a big

172
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: deal for Steelers. A lot of people talking about that. Um.

173
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: He he said. The tears on this are clear cut.

174
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: He said, you have the teams with the lead quarterbacks

175
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: who either went out which would be the Texans, or

176
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: might want out because of front half front officer coaching acrimony.

177
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: Patriots and Seahawks are pat Packers, Packers. We talked about

178
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: the Packers. I don't know that that happens. Seahawks, I

179
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: could see. I think it happens. Yeah, and I guess.

180
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: Wilson even said there was three three places he would

181
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: consider that he has no trade claud It's like Giants, Giants, Saints,

182
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: and Denver. Yeah, it would make sense. Yeah. Uh. Teams

183
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: with accomplished but aging quarterbacks. That would be the Steelers

184
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: and Falcons. Uh. Teams with quarterbacks who have shown promise

185
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: but having erased all doubt about the future at the position. Dolphins, Giants, Eagles. See,

186
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: I can't see the Dolphins doing anything unless it's Watson.

187
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: If they're so enamored with Watson, but then you gotta

188
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: do something with Toa and they'll get something back for him. Yeah.

189
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: Is he part of the Watson trade? Is it would

190
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: would Houston want to do that? I don't know, But

191
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: then two ends up in Pittsburgh or Washington. M he

192
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: starts somewhere. It might end up being a three way, right,

193
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: we moved in for something and then we give you

194
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: that pick or whatever. But he's playing himself into it.

195
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just he's starting somewhere pretty good. Yeah. Um.

196
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: If I agree with Jones or the Eagle situation, though,

197
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: Teams forced to play backups because of injury or lack

198
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: of stable alternative, that would be Washington, New Orleans and Carolina. Yeah.

199
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody wants in the Carolina guys. I

200
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: don't think anybody wants the Saints guys except for Winston,

201
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: who I think, well, except for Sean Payton and his

202
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: fascination with Hill. Right, absolutely, but I think Winston will

203
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: be one of the thirty two starters. Whether it's New Orleans.

204
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: I think he's back in New Orleans. They were winning

205
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: with him. I played really well for them, yea, with

206
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: no receivers. I would consider him for Pittsburgh. I mean,

207
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: he's the one free agent that I wouldn't mind going after.

208
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: Uh and then Washington's washing. I mean they might run

209
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: it back with Heineke and Fitz. Yeah, he got hurt

210
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: yesterday though, Hey, uh, team was stuck in the middle,

211
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: and this is where you don't want to be. That's

212
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Denver. I might put Minnesota in that conversation too,

213
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: But they're not stuck in the middle. They've got their

214
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: own tiern Okay, cousins Is is making so much money.

215
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: That's why they have their own tier, because he has

216
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: teams with a good quarterback. It was the other stuck

217
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: in the middle of service behind beside the Browns. Yeah,

218
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think they're stuck in the mill.

219
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: They need a quarterback. I think they have a need. Yeah. Uh,

220
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: teams with a good quarterback on an untenable cap hit

221
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: in two that would be the like. But they did

222
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: that to themselves. They gave him another They gave him

223
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: an extension, and he has a crazy was not good

224
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night, by the way, No, I thought he was kept.

225
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: He kept the Steelers in the game. I thought he

226
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: was really really bad, to be honest with you, he

227
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: at one point in the second half before he threw

228
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: the touchdown pass the sixty two yard was one of

229
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: seven for one yard in the second half. Yeah, I know,

230
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. Yeah he was. He started the game

231
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: five of seven and then I looked again he was

232
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: ten of twenty six. Justin Jefferson. Fantasy owners are so

233
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: thrilled with Jefferson, but he could have double the sate

234
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: line in that game. I mean, he missed Jefferson several times. Um,

235
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: so here are the potential star pick on those. I

236
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: think Baker is the Browns quarterback next year, for better

237
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: or worse. Yeah, I don't think Bridgewater is the Broncos

238
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: or anyone starter. Yeah, I don't think so either. Yeah,

239
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: and he's played a little better lately. Give him credit.

240
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: He kept them in. I mean, they're they're in a

241
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: playoff race with him. They are, they are, But I

242
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: don't know that anyone says you're our starters. Probably say

243
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: Fangail's job. Could they've been better than all expectations. They

244
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: wrote them for dead a month, but they I mean

245
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: they had that easy schedule. There'd been a team that's

246
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: taken advantage of the easy schedule. UH. Potential starters on

247
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: expiring contracts, that would be Jamis Winston um Fowler's expectations.

248
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: He resigns with New Orleans one year at ten million,

249
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: with up side up to fourteen million, so I think

250
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: he could get more than that on the open market.

251
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: That's the thing is like for me, if I'm the

252
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: Steelers and don't have to give up my any of

253
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: my draft picks, and I can roll with Jamis at

254
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: fifteen million a year on a two year deal with

255
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: incentives even go up to maybe eighteen it ain't so bad.

256
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: He's a very talented player who played very well for

257
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: the Saints with no receivers as year, who probably wouldn't mind,

258
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: you know, seeing Deonte Johnson and right right, I think

259
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: he's very interesting to me. Teddy Bridgewater and I don't

260
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: know that I would draft one, you know, like if

261
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: you he's young enough that right, I might just say

262
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: you're the guy and we have Rudolphin Haskins and we'll

263
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: see what it goes and if it's a disaster, will

264
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: draft one in the next year. Uh? Teddy Bridgewater his

265
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: offseason predictions. He resigns with the signs with the Houston

266
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: Texans two years, sixteen million. I could understand something like

267
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: that for Houston. Like if I'm Houston, I think you

268
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: end up with like Jimmy or Bridge Water and a pick,

269
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: not your first pick, but you come back in the

270
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: first one of those developmental quarterbacks. Yeah, I think that's

271
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: what you end up with with Houston. It's not gonna

272
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: be a desirable spot for free agents. I mean, nobody

273
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: wants to go to Houston. Ben Roethlisberger is on this list.

274
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: Um Fowler says he either resigns with the Steelers for

275
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: one year at fifteen million dollars, were retires. I can

276
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: actually see this. I know the report was out there

277
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: last week that Ben Roethlisberger's telling people this could be

278
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: his last year. He's played some of his best football

279
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: right now. He's proving me wrong, and part of me

280
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: thinks that's scary. Like if I'm in charge here, if

281
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm Kevin and Tomlin and the Rooneys. Part of I

282
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: originally thought, you can't convince me how I can bring

283
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: you back. I mean, I was pretty setting my ways

284
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: to protect him. But if you it could be pretty

285
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: damn for left tackle. That's a really good tackle draft

286
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: and you have free agent money or Matt Corral sitting

287
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: behind him for a year. Let's say you know the draft,

288
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: you draft a number two left tackle in the draft

289
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: or three left tackle, a lot of them. You sign

290
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: a stud guard a lulu into it are healthy. Yeah,

291
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: maybe you had a little little defensive line depth there.

292
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Maybe assigned somebody a second round picks. We're second in

293
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the second round and bringing a four million dollar a

294
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: year veteran defensive tackles three or whatever because and then

295
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: you maybe even have enough money to spend a little

296
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: money on a on a wide receiver. Oh, you probably

297
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: would keep Juju or signed somebody you know better than

298
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: you know. It's not the worst, not the worst idea

299
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: in the world. I think Stan asked me Fridays like

300
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: Juju has been missed, and I'm like, yeah, I thought

301
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: he'd be gone for sure. And he asked me, would

302
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: you consider bringing them back on the same deal we

303
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: got this year? And originally I thought it's kind of

304
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: the bend thing. I'm like, no, but maybe you know,

305
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: like he was, they could really use that guy. I

306
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: wrote this when when he got hurt, because people were saying, well,

307
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: he's played his last football for the Steels. I'm like,

308
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that he has, because if you look

309
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: at his situation, his market wasn't good in the office,

310
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: market wasn't getting better. They're going to know more about

311
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: his offseason. It could be the same suppression. Let's run

312
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: it back one more one year proved deal. Here you

313
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: go to Jude, you show he's still twenty five. Or

314
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: do the same thing is go test the market. Somebody

315
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: blows you away, great, if not, won't welcome back and

316
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: you know what, you know what your situation is here

317
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: then here with Ben. I mean, trust me, I leaned

318
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: towards not bringing Ben back. But it's funny this article

319
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: brought up Matt Ryan to the Steement. Haven't gotten that.

320
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: I know you're jumping ahead here. I'm not sure what

321
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: the difference is. I'm not either. You know, if that

322
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: made me think why not just keep the guy? You know,

323
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: if it depends on what Ben wants to do, of course,

324
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: you know that if he wants to to understand his

325
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: his body better to what I do know is he's

326
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: not going to go play somewhere else. Why would he.

327
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: He's that's he's he said it a dozen times that

328
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: he's a Steeler. He bleeds, he bleeds men go and

329
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: he's not going to go somewhere else just to play

330
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: another season, to play one more Yeah, but he's not

331
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: gonna be the Texans quarters. So if he wants to

332
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: play one more season, it will be here. If he

333
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: doesn't want to play one more season, then they'll be

334
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: looking for a new quarterback. And again, given the state,

335
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: and he might want to come back and they might

336
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: tell no, given the state of this year's quarterback draft,

337
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: it's not the worst thing in the world to have

338
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger back, you know, by the way draft one

339
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: in the second round. Yeah, you know that something like that.

340
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't invest in anyone or even yeah,

341
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: sign one, you trade for Geordan, third round pick for

342
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: Jordan's I don't love Jordan's love, but you had another

343
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: young one, more guy in the equation. Or maybe they

344
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: think Haskins is that guy in another year in the system.

345
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: Can you know whatever? There's two questions there is should

346
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: Ben be the Steelers starter next year? You could probably

347
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: say no, I'll take door number two if that's all

348
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: there is. Okay, well what are your options for that's

349
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: when we're going through this. You're trading for Wilson? Probably not,

350
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, but I mean if that's on the table,

351
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: then I'm listening to see that the whole. Yeah. I

352
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: mean I don't. I don't want to give up three

353
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: first round draft picks and maybe a second and a

354
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: player to get to get something. It's gonna be expensive,

355
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: and you're gonna you're gonna be hamstring yourself. You're gonna

356
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: be in the same situation Seattle's in with him, right.

357
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I would rather have Winston on a two

358
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: year deal like we talked about Ben coming back, and

359
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: none of those would cost you picks. Here's the list

360
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: of cutting bait guy teams are cutting bait. Sam Donald,

361
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be starting with anybody next year. Well,

362
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: they picked up his option, I know, but he's not

363
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a star. Yeah, I don't. I don't know.

364
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a panther, right yeah. High level backups

365
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andy Dalton. No, and no those Tyrod Taylor. No, no, no.

366
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: That's the only reason you want one of them is

367
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: if you have a first round quarterback, you know, if

368
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: it's pick it in one of them. Okay, yeah, wild cards,

369
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, Jared Goff. Ryan is the better player. Um.

370
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: And this is where Jared Fowler gets to his prediction

371
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: that Ryan's real is released by Atlanta UM and signed

372
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: and signs with the Steelers two years, thirty six million,

373
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: while golf stays put for one more year in Detroit.

374
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: I think Detroit is golf kind of like Houston. Not

375
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: their first first round pick, maybe the Rams first round

376
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: pick or their second one quarterback and roll it back

377
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, no one's gonna give you a high pick

378
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: for golf anyway. You know, you just it is what

379
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: it is. UM. The Ryan thing is interesting because he

380
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: has he counts forty eight point seven million against UM,

381
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of forties seven You don't know.

382
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: People people complained about Roethlisberger's contract is like, oh my god,

383
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: this one's way worse. Remember they restructured Ryan just so

384
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: they could have field a team this year. Now they're

385
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: paying for it. Now they're paying for it, and they're not,

386
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: you know, super competitive. Um, it's forty five million dollars

387
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: in dead money currently right now, going into next year,

388
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: they have one point five eight five million dollars in

389
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: cap space. Needs him right right, right right. They almost

390
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: have to get rid of it. They almost they almost

391
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: have to either unless they go to him and do

392
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 1: a deal similar similar, similar to what they were Steelers

393
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: did with Roethlisberner. Hey, we need you to take a

394
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: pay cut here for the good of the of the franchise.

395
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: But he may say, you know what, I'll do it,

396
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: but only if you release me. I mean, there's some

397
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: similarities between the Steelers in Atlanta's position, but then there's

398
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: some not too and that it's a second year head coach.

399
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: He's really the only old guy on the team. They

400
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: can't think one more year and we're gonna be a

401
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: super Bowl contender. This guy they should have drafted a quarterback.

402
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: This probably should have taken Fields or Tones or whoever

403
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, and without question and Pits is great, But

404
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: I think Carolina, Denver, Atlanta or kicking themselves not taking

405
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But brings me to the question if he's released,

406
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: if you have to choose between Ben and Ryan, I'm

407
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: not sure who I have been. I think Ryan's had

408
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: the better year, but the familiarity and all that has value.

409
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: I could see Ryan ending up in Denver. That would

410
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: be a very Denver like move. Just Ryan notes Steelers aside,

411
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: he's never handled weather very well, even though he's from

412
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: he's from Pennsylvania. You really have to protect this play

413
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: who his whole career in a dome, his whole career

414
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: in a dome, South, playing Carolina and Tampa in those teams,

415
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: you really have to protect him, you know. And that's true.

416
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: And he doesn't have a super strong arm. No, he's

417
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: not on his best day. He's not as gifted has

418
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: been on the best day, you know, right, he's smart.

419
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's Steelers aside. Put it this way, I

420
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: like that better than Jimmy g me too. But it

421
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: has to be Ryan in a top three round pick,

422
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean the same with Ben. I mean,

423
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: if I'm any team, if I'm Washington or Denver, and

424
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm gonna roll with Matt Ryan is my

425
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: week one starter, and somebody, because he's thirty eight, people

426
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: don't realize Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean his body

427
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: and he's probably less mobile. Mobile. Yeah, they may be

428
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: the two least mobile. Brady's probably up there too, but

429
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: you see Brady running yesterday, Ben ran for a first

430
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: down on I mean, Ryan and Ben are on the

431
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: same tier and should be so. More free agency options

432
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: Mitchell Rabisky, That one's intriguing to me. I bet he

433
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: gets paid this year. Cam Newton trade options, Aaron Rodgers

434
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: don't see it. What happened DeShawn Watson. Steelers aren't going

435
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: to be in that mor They won't be that Russell Wilson.

436
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: I just don't see them trading you know, three or

437
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: four high picks that The other thing is if you

438
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: were to get him one of them, and he does,

439
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers weren't on his list. He knows the Steelers

440
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: need a quarterback and they're not on his list. Plus

441
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: for the Steelers to beat the Giants on Russell Wilson,

442
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna pick later than both the Giants picks. You're

443
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to give sat three first, right right, like

444
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: the teams that you're fighting with to get him. The

445
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: Giants can get them. Yeah, they got to top ten picks,

446
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: so you have to they don't have. The Steelers don't

447
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: much offer. Jimmy Garoppolo. We've talked about it. I'm not

448
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: giving up picks to to get Jimmy Garoppolo, just not

449
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: doing it. I mean, if I'm giving a picks, I'm

450
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: giving up a fifth. I mean I'm not getting yeah.

451
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean they want to give them to you for

452
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: a fifth. That's different. Kirk Cousins, he's not forty five

453
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: million dollar capits. He's fully guaranteed. And then Drew Lock

454
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: No thanks, no, I'm not. Those are that's what's available, folks.

455
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Those are the names. Those are the names. They'll be

456
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: two or three other names that pop up. Derek Carr

457
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: comes to mind, you know. I mean, but I don't

458
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: know how that happens. I mean, I don't think Baker's

459
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: on the move, and he certainly isn't come to Pittsburgh

460
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: to what could be on the move. I just don't

461
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: see that happening. Back I can see Carolina jumping back

462
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: in and Watson again, and I think that will happen.

463
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: If I had to bet where Watson lands, I would

464
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: bet Caroline because I think that Dolphin Dolphins is gonna

465
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: look at how t has finished the season of the

466
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: team has finished the season, said hey, like we're gonna

467
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: run it back next year. Yeah. The other thing is,

468
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: if you're Miami, it's like, we've done really well with

469
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: our picks Wattle and I can burn give him up, right,

470
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give up three of them and recap a

471
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: literal recoup a little of it by moving to uh

472
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: okay real quick. If you're the Steelers, you give a

473
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: second round pick for two second round pick, yeah, first,

474
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: then it gets Harry Harry two and a third. Maybe

475
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: I'll give you our first if it's twenty. But the

476
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: second I'm listening, I mean, that's gonna be the market

477
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: for him. If you're Washington, you don't have a second

478
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: for two. Yeah. I just don't see them get moving

479
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: on from to it. I don't even only one guy

480
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: could change their mind. In my opinion, I don't think

481
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: that will happen. Yeah, anyways, that's gonna do it for

482
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: the segment. He is Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lawley. You're

483
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: listening to the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. We're

484
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna take a break. When we come back, it's time

485
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: for the fantasy football focus. We'll do that right after

486
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: this
