1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: You were tuned about drive on your twenty four to

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: seven home of the Black and Goal, Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation. How we do it? Well, that's

4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: good us too.

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 3: Our number two here of the drive on your twenty

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 3: four to seven Home of the Black and Gold was Shooler.

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 3: Matt Williamson with you here as always, Matt. Why don't

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: we reset? I like the way you put it? You

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 3: want to take inventory a little bit?

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, we should do this of.

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 2: The names that are still out there and.

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 4: Available, okay, and I you a top one hundred list

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: still or something like that Frontier.

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: And I compiled this this morning, so I guess some

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: things one or two of these names might have changed

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: since then, and so you can remind me of one

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: of these guys is. But here's where I think we're

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: still at. I basically went through the NF the Rosenthal

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: one oh one.

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 4: I think he updates and kind of yes, yeah, I

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 4: think he's exactly names on when guys fall exactly.

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 3: Right, exactly right. So let's see here. It actually looks

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 3: like he just updated this about an hour ago. So

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: hopefully hopefully this is.

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 4: This is Chase on sign today. Yes not, they would

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 4: influence Steelers, but he'd be on the list.

27
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: Hopefully this is this is pretty accurate and number one

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: on his list still well at this point, I should

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 3: say still available is Kyler Murray?

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean he's a starting quarterback and Greg who

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 4: did this list, but willis number one because he's a

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: starting quarterback. He say he's the best free agent out there.

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: Kyler is going to start for somebody and his aid

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 4: to bring us up. But there are some speculation that

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: his top choices are Minnesota and the Steelers.

36
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: I've seen that in the last.

37
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 4: Minnesota makes a ton of twelve hours. Yes, I would

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: understand if the Steelers went that. I don't think it's

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: the worst option.

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: So tell tell tell me why he Backstreet Boys? Is

41
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: that in sync? It's Backstreet Boys regardless?

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: Understand Yeah, because I I think.

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: I'm the polar I know you and I don't like,

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: vastly disagree very often. I think I've done the by

45
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: spending so much time around you.

46
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: But I just I don't see it.

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 3: At can this guy win you playoff games and really

48
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: take the franchise to the next level.

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't see it. Now.

50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: I would have probably said the same thing about Sam

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: Darnold this time last year, and he just won a

52
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. But I just the size, combined with what

53
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: we hear year after year about how he's not the

54
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: most devoted, dedicated, you know, film study. I just I

55
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: know it's not the way the organization thinks they want

56
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 3: to be the best team possible in September. But I

57
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: just don't think this does not move Kyler Murray doesn't

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: move the needle for me at all.

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: See I think it moves the needle. It would not

60
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 4: be my choice. I would have went Willis, Rogers others

61
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 4: ahead of him. Now the case four is you would

62
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 4: get him on the Russell Wilson did. It's like one

63
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: point five or million. Because Arizona's picking it up and

64
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: he's worth way more than that. That's undeniable.

65
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: I completely agree with me.

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 4: He's a starting quarterback. That again, I'm just gonna make

67
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: the case four. There was a time when I did

68
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: quarterback ranks where I had him like tenth or eleventh

69
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 4: in the league.

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: And that wasn't that ine.

71
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: That was that long ago. You know. Now what worries

72
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: me is he's always going to be that size. The

73
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: work ethic stuff has been out there. This isn't we're

74
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: not breaking news. I don't know what version you'd get.

75
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: You might get a very mature and dedicated guy on

76
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: his second stint. Frankly, I think Arizona is one of

77
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: the worst organizations in the league and was not the

78
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: easiest place to succeed.

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: So total I'm with you on that one too.

80
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: Because maybe it's like getting Darnold out of the Jets,

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, young, immature, and a terrible organization.

82
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: Next stint could be better than the next. He ends

83
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: up in Minnesota, he could be their best guy and

84
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: could be a pro bowler, he or you know whatever.

85
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: I would also say the points for him are. This

86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 4: is where I was big with on Willis was he

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 4: might be your answer. It's possible. I mean, like I

88
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: could write a fictional story that you would believe that

89
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: he comes here and he rejuvenates his career and you

90
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: don't have a quarterback need anymore. But there's a lot

91
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 4: of negatives too.

92
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: It starts with the side, and I worry even if

93
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: that's the case, that he's good but not good enough.

94
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 4: That's it's that you and I have had the conversation

95
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 4: when I want a quarterback.

96
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: I want to go to Porsche. I want to go

97
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: to Mercedes Benz, I want to go to BMW. I

98
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: don't want to go to Uncle Bob's used car sale line.

99
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 4: Right, And it's sure feel should sure feel like just

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: another one year rental because he's cheap.

101
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: Even say it's best case scenario, he resurrects his career,

102
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: he keeps his nose to the grindstone and is the

103
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: perfect worker and leader and all those things. If he's

104
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: the ninth best quarterback in the NFL, is that enough

105
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: in your division and in your car in your division?

106
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: So that's where yeah, And I don't know if you

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: can get to lamar Borough level. You don't settle for twelve.

108
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: That's what I'm worried about, because he comes in, he

109
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: has a good year, and you end up settling for

110
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: the eleventh or twelfth best quarterback who's gonna win you

111
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: ten or eleven games every year and might take you

112
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: to an AFC Championship game once. But we're not really

113
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: any closer to winning a super Bowl in the game picture.

114
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 4: I lean your direction too. I'm just trying to play

115
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: Devil's advocate to make it fun.

116
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: I like the eleventh. This when we're on different sides

117
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: of the fence. For once, the.

118
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: Eleventh or twelfth best quarterback won the Super Bowl in

119
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 4: each the last two years.

120
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: Now that's a great But that's a great you know.

121
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 4: And are things crumbling around Lamar Burrow Allen Mahomes or

122
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: are they going to be here for the next ten

123
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 4: years and be a nightmare for everybody?

124
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: One of those guys might be in an la RAM this time.

125
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they're not. They're not as strong. They

126
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: don't have a stronghold on the AFC they once did.

127
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: Now we might. That might sound really stupid by like

128
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 4: week ten.

129
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: Drake May and the other guys.

130
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm with you. I'm swinging in my quarterback acquisitions,

131
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 4: especially when I get the hand choose who I want.

132
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 4: I'm swinging for the fences and if I miss, I miss.

133
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 4: This one's just kind of like the Russell Wilson deal,

134
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 4: but more upside. So the last thing I want to

135
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 4: say about Tyler though, is he's always going to be small,

136
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 4: and his most recent tape he's not his athletic. I

137
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 4: used to call him Sonic the Hedgehog because it was

138
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 4: just like now, I'm sure he's still a very much

139
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: a plus athlete, but like Tua, he's gotten banged up

140
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 4: and is a smaller guy. You don't handle it as

141
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 4: well as Josh Allen. And he used to be a

142
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 4: great deep ball thrower and it's fallen off drastically, Like

143
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 4: he's never good in the middlefield. It might be like

144
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 4: what he got left? Yeah, yeah, but how old is he? Okay?

145
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: I mean he could be really good. He could again

146
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 4: if he's a Viking this year, he might be a

147
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: pro bowler, you know.

148
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: All right, Let's run through some of these other names,

149
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: just in general and then Steeler specific. Rashid Walker number

150
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: two on this list, twenty six year old offensive.

151
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: Tough backle I'm shocked he's still out.

152
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: There same just because age and positional.

153
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: Value and I can't remember when, like Dan Moore got

154
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: signed in the process, but this guy's a little better

155
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: than Dan Moore. The Steelers don't need that right now

156
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: if you draft one or nothing.

157
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: Nick Cross, twenty four year old safety from the Colt

158
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: That was.

159
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: My favorite safety out there. He's still rivals because of age,

160
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: and he's a really good athlete. He's slightly more strong

161
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 4: than Free, but I would be on the phone with

162
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: this guy.

163
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: I'm surprised given his age and.

164
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and maybe just outpriced himself or there's something I

165
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: don't know about. But I mean, we're not that deep

166
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 4: in the free agency. It's only Wednesday. True, it seems

167
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: like it's been a while of the league year open today,

168
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: you know.

169
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: Just mere moments ago. Juwan Jennings wide receiver.

170
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: I'm good player, but he's a three chain mover. He

171
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: would cost money. I might investing more money in a

172
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 4: receiver I got to one.

173
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: Ideally, he's a good depth piece on a championship contending.

174
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 4: Zor real good three that plays almost like a tight end.

175
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: You know, like if you put him on the Bengals,

176
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: he'd be great.

177
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: And it'd be great with Pittman and the Retcalf too,

178
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 4: I mean, because you'd be really big, really physical. David

179
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: joke in San Francisco, it's it's third and Juwan, Like,

180
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 4: if it's third and six, he'd gets you seven.

181
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 5: You know.

182
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 4: Like there's a lot to like about him, but there's

183
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: not real dynamic and I'm not investing in him.

184
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: One of my favorite Craig wolfleisms was when I grew

185
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: up playing running back. If you needed. If you needed

186
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: four yards, I'd get you three.

187
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

188
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: Well, I used to say that all the time. I

189
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: thought when I got the Syracuse, I was gonna play

190
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: running back. If they needed four yards, I'd get him three.

191
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: Whyatt Teller still on this list. We've talked about him

192
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: a little bit.

193
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, the two two Brown's guards are the only ones

194
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: I can think of.

195
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: I'd be interested.

196
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 4: I'd be interested. I mean where they health wives is

197
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: cok swapping from right to left. He could be a

198
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 4: Steeler in a day from now. I wouldn't be blown

199
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: away by that.

200
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 3: Another guy who's probably off the table now with the

201
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: Darnell Savage addition, and he's a little more strong than

202
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: he is Free But Jakwan Brisker, I.

203
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 4: Don't know if Savage changes anything in this in the

204
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 4: safety world. I'm not saying he's like total sugar, yeah,

205
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 4: but I would he would not change any of my approach.

206
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 4: Everything you get out of him is gravy. I don't

207
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 4: think you've like answered anything yet, though Brisker's possibility. Penn

208
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: Steak guy, he's had a lot of injuries, but he's

209
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: more strong than Free too. I also don't know how

210
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: strict Graham is going to be on that.

211
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point.

212
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,479
Speaker 4: But the league is really drifting towards everybody does everything.

213
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: Bradley Chubb, No, no, Jack Yeah, not specifically, Yes, names

214
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: on this. A. Jpaness is still out there. Yeah, I'm surprised. Yeah, yeah,

215
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 3: DJ Reader is still available. We've discussed him a little bit.

216
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: He's actually the old man. Knows that you would. He

217
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 4: does one thing for you, and you know exactly what

218
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: he does. He's had a lot of injuries the last

219
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 4: two years. Really is a lion, but I mean his

220
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 4: last years with the Bengals where he was as good

221
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: at that as anyone in the league. And usually those

222
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: guys drift away real slow. They can just still eat

223
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 4: up double teams when they're sixty, you know.

224
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: Also, Matt sounds like the Washington Commanders are signing Brandon Ayuk.

225
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 2: His upon his.

226
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 4: Jasonnd was like best buds from Arizona State. So that's

227
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: not a shock at all. Makes sense, And they need

228
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 4: a receiver bad.

229
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, one of his former teammates, Deebo Samuel

230
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: still available.

231
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 4: Kevin Zeider somebody'll try to do something except them, Yeah,

232
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: I think so.

233
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Zeitler still available. We discussed him yesterday as well.

234
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: He's like thirty five or thirty six.

235
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: I think he is thirty six.

236
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 4: He's had a great career. He's been entirely only right guard.

237
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: I can't imagine him like I'll go to the left

238
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: side for one more year. He might retire, but he's

239
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: still good.

240
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: Let's see some of these other names.

241
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: Who are I mean, Jawan Taylor's still out there or

242
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: Sean White still out there.

243
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 4: I heard a lot of speculation White could be a

244
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 4: Jag any minute.

245
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Son Riddick's still out there.

246
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 4: A lot of these edge guys. Yes, I assume they've

247
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 4: been that Crosby Hendrix.

248
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: Slayton for the market to set yeah.

249
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: You know, now the Bears look to go, I will

250
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 4: settle for our fourth choice or whatever. You know.

251
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: Uh cater coohu.

252
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 4: I love the player. I know he's not.

253
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 2: Coming off an a injury, but he's.

254
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: Only a slot. But he is a nasty you know,

255
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 4: throw your body around. Help any team. He's on lesser

256
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 4: version of like a Petrie. I mean, Petrie's like a

257
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 4: pro bowler. But I don't think the Steelers have any

258
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 4: need for a slot at all unless they're totally dedicated

259
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: to Ramsey being free, which I don't think. I don't

260
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 4: think that's what they're gonna do.

261
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: Right, Javon Hargrave is still available thirty three years maybe maybe.

262
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 4: I mean he's different than Reader in terms of just

263
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: he is a nose, but on the last blush he

264
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: could at least get up field and push the pocket

265
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 4: a little bit, signed a big deal, kick.

266
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: The tires, see David and Joku's still out there.

267
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: Calvin Austin's still out there, Kobe Durant, would.

268
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 4: You be interested in Austin now, like after the draft? Yes,

269
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: like second round pick on one of the Indiana guys

270
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: or the Bama dude or whoever. And Austin you're the

271
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: clear four at four million a year and a one

272
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 4: year deal. Absolutely, And I don't mind that you're little

273
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: because everybody else is huge. Absolutely, you know right? You

274
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: know I could see that, yeah.

275
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: And he would kind of you'd have a nice pecking

276
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: order of like young rookie wide receiver, middle middle, kind

277
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: of his twenties, Calvin Austin and then a little bit older.

278
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: Twenty eight twenty nine is for Pittman and DK Metcalf.

279
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: And know's how things work around here, and we's worked

280
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 4: with Rogers.

281
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: He's also a punt return a punt returner, which he

282
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: gets at it.

283
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

284
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kobe Durant still available. What about the Sean hand

285
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: does does he? He's not nosy enough, he's more he's

286
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: more defensive end type than he than he is.

287
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 4: You could do better.

288
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, let's see, he's.

289
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: One of like you liked some guys in the draft

290
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: and none of them. Yes, and right before camp.

291
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: Uh, Chauncey Gardner Johnson still available as a safety twenty eight.

292
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 2: Years Like Jim, I've heard he's a little heard he's

293
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: a little prickly around the yesh. Sebastian Joseph Day thirty

294
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: one year old defensive tackle.

295
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 4: Not sure what kind of fifty is, but he's not

296
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: a bad player.

297
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: And that's kind of the last.

298
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 4: Now, all the tackles are really rough draft and free

299
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 4: agency this year.

300
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 2: That's why I wouldn't hate adding one of these thirty

301
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: two year old.

302
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally rent one for a year and just stop

303
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: the run.

304
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: And if you end up in the second or third

305
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: round getting one of those noses, go nose note is guy? Yeah,

306
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: draft great, you can have kind of a little two

307
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: dogs one bone type thing there. But that's it for

308
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: the the top top free agents still available. According to

309

Speaker 3: Greg Rosenthal, one or two more to run past you here,

310
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 3: mister Williamson. Sounds like the Colts are signing former Jets

311
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,800

Speaker 3: time with the Jets.

315
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: They need some help on that defensive line.

316
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 4: They do. I just think he's really bad. Sorry, he

317
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 4: reminds me the person to get. Oh no, he reminds

318
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: me of like what we fear the Bengals first round

319
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 4: pick Clemons and Fulk that we've talked about. Think these big,

320
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 4: tall body, beautiful Schimer Stewart, Stewart, I called him something

321
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: else side. I've been mean to tell you this. So

322
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: when I was like your age or even like five

323
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: years ago, and I would do radio with people older

324
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: than me, not Dale so much, but a lot of

325
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 4: these people that older than me have been doing this

326
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: a long time.

327
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: The pursuitas and the do last in the world.

328
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 4: They start, oh yeah, but they start doing a lot

329
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: of this, or even just across the country, they start

330
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 4: doing that wide receiver from Indiana or that wide out

331
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 4: from Bama, and I'm sitting here in the back of

332
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: my head, I'm like, that dude's a first round pick.

333
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 4: You got to know his name. I do it all

334
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: the time now, Like there will be a day when

335
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 4: you hit your fifties where you're like, don't say that

336
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: the LSU receiver. That's Jamar freaking Chase dude. You know,

337
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 4: like you got to know these guys, you know, like,

338
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 4: and I get I'll get better when I get closer

339
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: to the draft, but I do it way more. I've

340
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: noticed the last three in sixty five days, I am

341
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 4: slipping in a big way. It's not that I don't

342
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: know their name. I just don't. It doesn't doesn't come

343
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: to you right away. I used to make fun of them.

344
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 4: I never made fun them on the air, But sitting

345
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 4: in the back of my head, I'm like, how do

346
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 4: you not know that guy? You're like that now you're

347
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: doing it, doing it all the time.

348
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: Oh, Vega from Penn State.

349
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: There's the guys that well that that's a different trick.

350
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: That's the trick. I don't want to pronounce their name,

351
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 4: so I call them the Arizona State tackle. But sometimes

352
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 4: I like forget the name off off my head and

353
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: be like, oh, you know the oklahom a receiver blah

354
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 4: blah blah. I'm like, dude, that's ceedee lamb. That happened

355
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 4: to me a lot at six rounder.

356
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: That happened to be Last week, I did a segment

357
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: with with Tom and Dan Ski on the Blitz and

358
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: they were like, so, you know combine not because it

359
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: was like joining them the week after the combine?

360
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: What'd you learn out there? What do you like? And

361
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, I really like this defensive tackle.

362
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: Class that could be a fit for the Steelers in

363
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: round two or round three. I don't think Caleb Banks

364
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: will be there, but you know, I really like Lee

365
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: Hunter out of Texas Tech, and I really like what's

366
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: his name from Ohio State? And I'm like, McDonald's is

367
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: running through my mind, but I just couldn't remember Kate

368
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: and McDonald in that moment.

369
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 4: Especially this time with draft because you're getting so many

370
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: new names. But boy, the last year or two, I've

371
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 4: really caught myself being like and all old scouts do this,

372
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 4: Like the whole the league's like that all the time,

373
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: like they don't know anyone's name.

374
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: O that linebacker from Texas.

375
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, he was the first round pick. You're right,

376
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 4: you gotta know his name before.

377
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: We go to break. Three to another safety on the move.

378
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 3: Three time Pro Bowler Kevin Byard signing with the Patriots

379
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 3: one year.

380
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a win.

381
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 2: Now, he's nine million dollars deal.

382
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: He would not have been for me. I mean, he's

383
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 4: a total rental Patriots for the Super Bowl last year.

384
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 4: They're probably looking at him if he took the ball away.

385
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: A bunch of the Bears had a really good career.

386
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: Two, let's take a break.

387
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: He had to be with Rabel in Tennessee too. Yes, absolutely, yes.

388
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I want to talk about most improved teams.

389
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 3: It's been a wild forty eight becus, you know, sixty

390
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: ish hours across the NFL. Who's the most improved compared

391
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: to where they were at Monday around noon when all

392
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 3: this moving and shaken got started. We'll talk about that

393
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: on the other side, West Shouler, Matt Williamson. It is

394
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,800

00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: Back on the drive here as we continue to roll

407
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: along and cover a lot of bases in this crazy

408
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: week here of free agency negotiating period, trades that we

409
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: thought were going to happen that weren't, and and plenty

410
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: of signings across the NFL.

411
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: Matt, I want to look back a.

412
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 3: Little bit here with you before we get to some

413
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: tweets talk about most improved teams, most improved units. You

414
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: sent me a really good article from Pro Football Focus

415
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: about which.

416
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 4: They didn't read it yet, but they just they poured

417
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: out some units. I thought that were.

418
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 3: Which specific teams got better in specific areas of meats. Yeah,

419
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: and one of these I feel like maybe we haven't

420
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: paid enough time to this, So we discussed it briefly

421
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: on Monday when we were in the middle of all

422
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 3: the craziness mayhem that was going on. But the Kansas

423
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 3: City Chiefs added Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl MVP legit piece,

424
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: right to that offense for Patrick Mahomes.

425
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 4: They've had a good back forever.

426
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: They haven't had a consistent good above you know, well

427
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: above average running back, probably since Kareem Hunt, like when

428
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 3: Mahomes first burst onto the scene.

429
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 4: And this guy's better than the him. Probably know, They've

430
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 4: even drafted Edwards Hilaire with that in mind that never

431
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 4: worked out, you know, first round pick.

432
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: The Chiefs were twenty seventh in rushing grade, thirty second

433
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: and miss tackles forced in the run game, and thirty

434
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: first in yards after contact per attempt last year. Wow.

435
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 4: Those last two numbers are really telling. And there's such

436
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 4: Pacheco type stats too, because he just runs it.

437
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: He just runs into people aggressively.

438
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 4: And Walkers, I assume at the top of the league

439
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 4: in both those categories. After contact stuff's phenomenal. Yes, he's

440
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 4: definitely really difficult to get on the ground. You feel

441
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 4: you get two years out of him. I mean, he

442
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 4: doesn't have that much wear and tear in his body.

443
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 4: He's not a great receiver, but that's it's time to

444
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 4: stop asking so much of my homes. I mean, as

445
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 4: great as he is, they don't have a great group

446
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 4: of receivers that get open on their own. Kelsey eate

447
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 4: what he used to be. And they have not had

448
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: a legit running game for a while. Like, let's make

449
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 4: Pat's life a little easier than the other way around

450
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: for once. Yes, and he's coming off a huge injury.

451
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: And that's much harder to do than when he first

452
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: burst onto the scene. Yeah, because except for this year,

453
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: they've been picking thirty, first, thirty, second, thirtieth in the

454
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: draft now for almost a decade.

455
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's difficult to do. But this is a

456
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: this is a nice move in the right direction.

457
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 4: Hit absolutely is. I mean, that's a huge upgrade if

458
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 4: we're just talking like upgrade, that's.

459
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: What that's kind of what this article is.

460
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, and another one Carolina Panthers and their linebackers with

461
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 3: the addition of Devin Lloyd. They finished graded twenty ninth

462
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: overall amongst linebacker units last year, and an ad Devin Lloyd,

463
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: who was in the top ten in both coverage and

464
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 3: run defense grades at the linebacker possession.

465
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's coming off a great year and I think

466
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 4: he's really an ascending player. I would throw Phillips in

467
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 4: the mix too. I'm just their front seven in general

468
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 4: got drastically better at two spots at won very good.

469
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 3: Oh Man, this is a this is a big one,

470
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: especially now the Las Vegas Raiders linebackers.

471
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 4: Oh Man, last night and day.

472
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: They bring in the Bulldog brothers. And to Kobe Dean

473
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: and Kway Walker. They gave that pair of combined seventy

474
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 3: six point five million bucks to leave Philly and Green

475
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 3: Bay respectively.

476
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 4: Dude, with all respect to former Steeler Landon Roberts, their

477
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 4: linebackers were about the worst in the league last year.

478
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 4: Did not have much to work with at the linebacker.

479
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 3: They were ranked twenty six out of thirty two units

480
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 3: by Pro Football Focus.

481
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: I bet I'd have them lower if I did my so.

482
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 4: They got two guys like kind of in their prime,

483
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 4: you know, high picks athletes. I like what the Raiders

484
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 4: did linebacker a lot.

485
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: What about what the Titans did at corner?

486
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: Two big money corners in Cordale Flatt three years, forty

487
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 3: five million, Alonte Taylor. He was a name that we

488
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 3: kind of talked about as a potential for the Steelers

489
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: and some of our preview stuff to this coming from

490
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: New Orleans, three year, twenty million dollar deal. Let's see,

491
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: they had the twenty ninth ranked coverage group last year

492
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 3: at corner. The Tennessee Titans did, and they had they

493
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: had two substantial pieces along with Robert Sala, you know,

494
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: coach and scheme and everything.

495
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: I think that'll be a much improved unit.

496
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 4: I think it will definitely be much improved. I would

497
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 4: have labeled it pass the fence though, got improved because

498
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 4: as you added Jermaine Johnson off the edge and you

499
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 4: go from sweat to uh the Broncos defensive tackle, yeah,

500
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 4: Franklin Meyers, which end, dude, it's pretty good, but instead

501
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 4: of a nose, they have now to upfield badass defensive

502
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 4: tackles and a good edge dude, and two corners. So

503
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 4: their past defense got drastically better. This is a case

504
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 4: a lot in free agency, though, but I do think

505
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 4: they overspent noticeably on both corners. Sure Taylor's I was

506
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 4: shocked they got that big a deal.

507
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: Three years, twenty million per Is that what it is?

508
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 4: I'm almost certain. Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot.

509
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: That's a lot.

510
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: Let's see the Los Angeles Rams as well, completely.

511
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: Oh their secondaries, reworking, reworking their secondary. Of course, they

512
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: acquired Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs, but they also got Watson.

513
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 3: From then, and then they signed Jalen Watson three year

514
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: fifty the one million dollar contract. Both of those guys

515
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: were amongst the top ten highest graded corners in twenty

516
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 3: twenty five.

517
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 4: And before any of that happened, they retained Cameron curl

518
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 4: who's a good safety. Never let him hit free agency,

519
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: and Carnell Lake's Suns, a really good player for them

520
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 4: that we don't bring up enough, comes back from injury.

521
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 4: So their secondary was definitely the weakest part of their team.

522
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: It's one of the better secondaries in the league probably

523
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 4: now it might be. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a

524
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 4: total facelift.

525
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: And you spend like that, and yeah, and trade draft

526
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: capital like that, you better better be doing a massive turnaround.

527
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: I mean that's pretty clear. What they're doing is they're

528
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 4: they're they're putting everything in for when Stafford. You one

529
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 4: more year out them, two more years out of them.

530
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 4: There's even talk that McVeigh might hang it up after Stafford.

531
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: I mean, just you know, take it a year away.

532
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 2: Nuts, because I don't think he's even forty years old yet,

533
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 2: is he.

534
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 4: Oh, he's definitely forty. He's I mean, he was the

535
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 4: youngest coach in the league forever, but he's been a

536
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 4: coach for at least ten years.

537
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: He just turned forty and Jake, Wow, I was gonna

538
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: say he's like four. He's forty years old and two months.

539
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 4: Think about if he doesn't hang it up, if he

540
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 4: coaches twenty five more years into his like sixties.

541
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: Could be the greatest of all time. A couple more

542
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 2: Super Bowls, but.

543
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 4: Right, right, right, But if he coaches twenty five more years,

544
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 4: I bet he gets one or two.

545
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 2: He was thirty years old when he was hired by

546
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: the Rams.

547
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 4: That's insane. That's I think he's best coaching league.

548
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 2: That's just nuts.

549
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was two.

550
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 3: Days before his thirty first birthday when when the Rams

551
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: named him head coach. About about a decade ago at

552
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 3: this time, last one Pro Football focused thinking that the

553
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: Jets defense could be better than people expect when you

554
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: add Mega Fitzpatrick, dev Andre Sweat, Joseph Asai, david On Yamata.

555
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 4: All good players, Demario Davis.

556
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: I knew us forgetting one.

557
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just too old for my liking for where

558
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 4: they're at in their timeline. I just feel like a

559
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 4: lot of their moves or let's save our job type

560
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 4: thing for the Jets, and that's not the best thing

561
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 4: for the organization. But the defense will be better. I mean,

562
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 4: he's a defensive minding coach, and I actually like all

563
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 4: those names to be short term fixes. You know, A

564
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: side is a pretty good player.

565
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, last one here, Matt. We just mentioned him

566
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: a few minutes ago in our previous segment. But according

567
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: to Ian Rapaport, free agent safety Nick Cross headed to

568
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: the Washington Commanders.

569
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah that's too. I was kind of keeping my fingers

570
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 4: still crossed for Cross. For Cross, Washington spent some money lately.

571
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 4: I mean they signed.

572
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: Two year, fourteen million for him.

573
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 4: They've Jason this morning, Cross today. It sounds like Ayuk's

574
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: going there. They had a lot to spend, but they

575
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 4: didn't spend it right away. They had two edge rushers

576
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 4: in the last twenty four hours.

577
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: It also looks like they're signing a chig a Konklo

578
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: the tight end. Oh really, up to thirty million dollars

579
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 3: per year on a three.

580
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 4: Year Chigg in a new spot could do some things.

581
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: They're spending some money, man.

582
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jad and Daniels throwing to Chig and ayuk and

583
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 4: yeah it's not bad. I also think that could be

584
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 4: a love landing spot. When I did my last mock,

585
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 4: I love going there six overall or whatever.

586
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: If he's there still, if he makes it past Tennessee,

587
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: that makes a ton of sense.

588
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I still think the Giants could jump

589
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 4: on him too.

590
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 2: Leo Chan also signing with the Commanders three Yeah, yeah.

591
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 4: No, they've invested quite a bit in the last twenty

592
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 4: four hours or so.

593
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: They have spent some money.

594
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

595
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

596
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: Kavian Chase on signing with the Commanders.

597
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, dude, wow, a lot I knew, But

598
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 3: like it is that you just see the names, It's like, wow,

599
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 3: they have They've made some moves. They certainly have. They

600
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 3: needed some revamping after taking a big step back last year.

601
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 3: And they've certainly done that, and.

602
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: They had an early pick in every round too well.

603
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 4: I think they've traded a few of them, like for

604
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 4: the tonsil and whatnot, but.

605
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 3: The the top ten pick will certainly should at least

606
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: them a net them a good player. I would think,

607
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: let's take our last break. When we return, we will

608
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 3: close this thing down. We've gotten a million, bazillion, maybe

609
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: even a trillion tweets in the last few days. We'll

610
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 3: try and keep up with all of them before we

611
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,200

Speaker 3: Final segment of the Drive here on this Wednesday. You

626
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: know what that means. That means it's time to go

627
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: to the tweets, and we've gotten so many. It's great,

628
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: but it's almost like, oh no, I don't think we're

629
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: gonna be able.

630
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: To get to all these, but we'll continue to.

631
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

632
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 4: It shows the interest in the show man. People are listening.

633
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: We are massive, Matt Williamson, I tell you the drive

634
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: is massive. No, it's it's been a good year. We uh,

635
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: we appreciate the heck out of all the participation.

636
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: H I used to make this joke to motes a lot,

637
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: Like when we'd get days where we'd get a ton

638
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: of tweets, I would always I'd make a joke along

639
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 3: the lines of like, it's always great to know that

640
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: somebody other than my mom is listening today because my

641
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 3: mom is my number one fan.

642
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: I don't think she ever misses a show.

643
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 3: But it's it's it's always great when you have almost

644
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: too much reaction that you got to kind of parse

645
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 3: through it.

646
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 4: And that's what we will do our I actually thought

647
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 4: about this whenever I told the story about Oh the Linebacker.

648
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: When I forget people's names, I'm like, I bet I'm

649
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 4: gonna hear from my dad on that one. It'd be

650
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 4: like fun getting old. Isn't a sunny boy?

651
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: Oh man, you gotta love it. You gotta love it.

652
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: If you if your if your parents, if your parents

653
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: aren't your your biggest fan. You know what's this? What's

654
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: this all about? Anyways? So let's get through it.

655
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 4: Why my son got home by an hour ago from

656
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 4: Kentucky first spring break, so it's like to hang out

657
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 4: with him as the fatherly move.

658
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: I still need to meet him one of these days

659
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 3: and say, I'm the guy that you thought was to

660
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 3: bring your son to work day eight years ago when

661
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 3: your dad and I were sitting on radio row in Indianapolis.

662
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: Stop by for a cold one tonight, I might have.

663
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: To Matt tweets us, not Williamson, Matt another Matt tweets

664
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: us and just by the way, if we don't get

665
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: to your tweets, I'm sorry. We'll do our best. Keep tweeting. You'll, you'll,

666
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: you'll get in here at some point. Matt tweets and

667
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: says now that we have Pittman to pair with DK Metcalf.

668
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: Does this change the type of wide receiver you'd be

669
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 3: looking for in the draft, big outside guy, more of

670
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: a big slot route specialist.

671
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: How has that changed?

672
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 4: So Teazer, at some point throughout the course of the week,

673
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: I really want to go over the reception perception Michael

674
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: Pittman stuff.

675
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: I was looking at the harm and stuff.

676
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 4: I think he's absolutely phenomenal. And he just put out

677
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 4: Pittman out today and what he does is and I'll

678
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 4: preface it when we talk about it, but he puts

679
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 4: out all the free agents to be and then if

680
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 4: somebody moves, he runs and does a deep dive on him.

681
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 4: On Pittman. And one of the things in there that

682
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: stood out to me, which is definitely true, is Pittman

683
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 4: can really align anywhere. It's one of the beauties of them.

684
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 4: So the way this was phrased, I don't think the answer.

685
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 4: This is part of the reason I like the Pittman

686
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: deal is if you want to get whether little guys

687
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: from Georgia or Oklahoma, or if you want to get

688
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 4: like a big guy, yeah, or a big guy from

689
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: Notre Dame or Tennessee, I think they would all fit.

690
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 4: You know. Frankly, I think you could go shopping in

691
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: this draft pure slid. Yeah, yeah, I think any of

692
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 4: the top ten receivers I can arrange it all that

693
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 4: it works. You know. So if it had been a

694
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 4: different style, you know, been Wanda Robinson's like, well, I

695
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 4: didn't want a big guy, now, you know what I mean?

696
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 4: You know, so, I think that's part of the things

697
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 4: I like about this Pittman trade is it doesn't limit

698
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 4: my next wide receiver style one bit, which is great.

699
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 4: Didn you get a deeper waters to fish in, you know.

700
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: That's that's what you're looking for.

701
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 3: By the time the draft warsa around lots of different

702
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 3: fish in that pond that you can uh And.

703
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 4: That's why you're cal Aostin. Maybe even I can't call

704
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 4: him that you couldn't call him before the deal and

705
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 4: be like that you're my three or whatever.

706
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sudash tweets us and says, thank you guys for

707
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: being you.

708
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: You make my day. Well, thank you, sudsh We appreciate it.

709
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right yourself.

710
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: Do either of you four see any cuts amongst the defense?

711
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: If so?

712
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 4: Who I still eve Elie Harrison's on thin Ice.

713
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: That would be the only one though at this sax

714
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: I think Ramsey's safe.

715
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't think there I know there's been

716
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: conversations out there of are there teams kicking the tires

717
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: for Patrick Queen, but that would be a trade, not

718
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 3: a cute other than other than Harrison, I don't see

719
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: anybody being a pure cut candidate at this point.

720
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 4: And they opened up a little money with the cam

721
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 4: moving around money which I don't think was something they

722
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 4: needed to do, but it's kind of a benefit of

723
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 4: the whole situation. So maybe that keeps Harrison on thick

724
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 4: our ice for a little bit longer, or I mean,

725
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: maybe they're hanging on to him just fielding Queen offers,

726
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 4: you know, if you don't want to lose both of them.

727
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 4: I'm just guessing, but I definitely don't think. Remember last year,

728
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 4: quard O Patterson hung around a long time and we

729
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 4: all kind of knew he was getting cut. I kind

730
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 4: of think that's inevitable with Harrison. He's just not worth

731
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 4: the five or six million to save.

732
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: I think the Cordell Patterson's a good parallel to draw. Yeah.

733
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: Sudesha also asks what's the last movie you guys watched

734
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 3: Home Theater doesn't matter. Also the Sandlot or Miracle Miracle

735
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: for sure, but that's cheating for me because I love

736
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 3: hockey and I'm not the biggest baseball guy.

737
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

738
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: Last movie I watched.

739
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 4: I actually watched one over the weekend. My wife wasn't

740
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 4: home for the weekend. I watched the new Netflix Matt Damon,

741
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 4: based on a true story.

742
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: Oh the is it? The police Officer one? I know

743
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 2: what you're talking about.

744
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 4: It wasn't bad, It's fine, I think.

745
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 3: Last last movie I watch I watched Zootopia with my

746
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: daughter's last night.

747
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 2: I guess actually that's probably what would be.

748
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 4: Actually went to bed the Fargo last night for the

749
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 4: hundredth time, but like midnight, I put it on for

750
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 4: the last time.

751
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: I do that with I do that with Lord of

752
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 3: the Rings a lot, which is like a war movie

753
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 3: to fall asleep to, not the greatest kind of fantasy.

754
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 4: In college, I would put on a VHS tape like

755
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 4: as I was crawling into my bunk in my fraternity house,

756
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 4: loud yep, and it was always it only had like

757
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 4: twenty five tapes. It's one of the same. It's a

758
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 4: populypse now or one of the Star Wars Well.

759
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 3: I used to one I throw in like Gladiator or

760
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 3: Brave Heart, movies like that when I was in college,

761
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 3: and then at two in the morning, it's in like

762
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 3: the menu screen of all this loud.

763
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 4: Music up after thirty Milwaukee's Best. I think I saw

764
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 4: the first five minutes.

765
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: I'll see William Wallace in the stockham Is trajectory. Last

766
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 3: movie I actually like watched to watch though, was like

767
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 3: two weeks ago. I did did The Godfather, Whenever, Whenever,

768
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: Robert Whenever, Robert of all passed.

769
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: Joe tweets us and says, our.

770
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 4: Times think of new movies ones I've not seen before

771
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 4: clips of that.

772
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's that's true. Yeah.

773
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 3: Joe tweets and says there are twenty eight rushing attempts

774
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 3: this past season, really enough to write off Caleb Johnson.

775
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: I'm with Mike Persuda.

776
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 3: I wouldn't hate getting rid of Roman Wilson just because

777
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 3: he's a Wolverine. One other thing, Bon Scott or Brian Johnson.

778
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 3: Side note, side note. I love how people have picked

779
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: up that our favorite type of questions are hit us

780
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 3: with a Steeler football question and then a random and

781
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,959
Speaker 3: the music or a.

782
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 4: Food or a movies or I would say Johnson's one

783
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 4: of my favorite non originals. Yes, but it's still Scott.

784
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: I think it's still Scott.

785
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 3: But I'm a little partial because when I saw ac

786
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: DC in Fargo, North Dakota and twenty five team it

787
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 3: was it was Brian Johnson.

788
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: But it's tough to be and.

789
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 4: I've only seen ac DC with Brian Johnson.

790
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 3: YA saw him one time ten years ago. I don't

791
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: think anybody's a football I don't think anybody. I don't

792
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 3: think anybody's writing off Caleb Johnson. But you're just not

793
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 3: anything either.

794
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 4: I think there's two ways of looking at it. Like

795
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 4: I'm glad he's coming to camp. I'm not glad that

796
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 4: he you got what you got out of a third

797
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 4: round pick to this point, but his story definitely is

798
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 4: not written. But I think when you team build this

799
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: time of year, you can't be like, well, he's gonna

800
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 4: be the three and you're and you're perfectly fine and

801
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 4: you're solid, but you have you have to have insurance,

802
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 4: you know, like, you can't just be like, well, he's

803
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 4: gonna make the team. He showed it up and we

804
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 4: liked him enough a year ago before the draft. I

805
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 4: can't think you're there. But it's a totally new coaching step.

806
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: It's a new opportunity. Yeah, you can't count on him,

807
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: but you also can't write him off. There's a middle

808
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 3: ground there.

809
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 4: There's also one thing that doesn't work in his favor.

810
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 4: Is one of the reasons we liked him a lot

811
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 4: at the time was he was really an Arthur Smith

812
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 4: outside zone runner. I mean that's like all they ran

813
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 4: in college. And this scheme's not going to be as

814
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 4: outside zone heavy. So he was drafted.

815
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: For them the Arthur Smith scheme.

816
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, which doesn't work in his favor necessarily.

817
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: Right.

818
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 3: Josiah tweets us and says one of Ma's favorite things

819
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 3: to say is that teams will tell you what they

820
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: think by where they spend their money. Yeah, after the

821
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 3: first few days, what are the Steelers telling you about

822
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: their roster, their free agents and the draft.

823
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 4: Well, they're not going to go away quietly.

824
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 3: Wide receiver was they were I think they were tired

825
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 3: of dealing with that.

826
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 4: I think they're flat out tired of that. And to

827
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 4: some degree, corner.

828
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 3: And I was going to say, I think they are

829
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 3: continuing to try and turn over every leaf to find

830
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: the right running mate for Joey Porter Jr.

831
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 4: They've gone through a lot of corners in the Omar era,

832
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 4: good and bad. I mean, Porter's a good one, and

833
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 4: I think that kind of sick of just not having

834
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 4: two I can put out there every snap that they

835
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 4: can count on. I think that's definitely true. This could

836
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 4: have told you before they made any signings, so they

837
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 4: weren't gonna blow it up and go total youth movement

838
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 4: to I mean, they still are going to balance competing

839
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 4: with the future. That's good.

840
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 3: Say yeah, yeah, Tyler tweets us and says, I know.

841
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 4: People have been critical about well all their guys have

842
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,959
Speaker 4: gotten or old. Yeah, but they might draft ten dudes

843
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 4: that are all twenty two and younger, you know, like.

844
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: They got five picks in the top ninety nine.

845
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

846
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, those guys better have their hand on the pile

847
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 3: next year. Yes, Tyler tweets us and says, curious how

848
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: much weight Matt puts into pro football focuses gas score,

849
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 3: game athleticism score.

850
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting.

851
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 3: I think a player who'd been interesting to look at

852
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 3: during the draft would have been Mason McCormick. He had

853
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 3: a monster score but didn't necessarily look like an A

854
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 3: plus athlete on tape.

855
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying there.

856
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so they created this score of I don't

857
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 4: know as much as i'd like to about it, because

858
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 4: it's definitely there might be a day that these guys

859
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 4: don't run forties anymore because you know all their mouths

860
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 4: per hour and even this year, they knew all that stuff,

861
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 4: the data from the Senior Bowl and you know all

862
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 4: their college stuff that you can come up with an

863
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 4: athletic score before they even test. And that's I think

864
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 4: what PFF's score does. I believe, so like the day

865
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 4: they're done playing college football, I think their score.

866
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 3: Is done because it's all based on what happens in

867
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 3: between the little white lines.

868
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: With pads on and pas, whereas.

869
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 3: That relative athletic score is all based on your height,

870
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 3: your weight, your measurements.

871
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 4: Your test results, a big spider graft. You know, if

872
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 4: you fill up as much of it as your.

873
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: Forty times and your shuttle time is how.

874
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 4: Tall you are testing without pads on what your vertical is. Yeah,

875
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 4: I'd like to know a lot more about it. It's

876
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 4: it's complex and it's hard to find out all the

877
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 4: exact information and all that stuff or the practical usage

878
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 4: of it. But I'm a believer. McCormick's interesting that you

879
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 4: brought him up, though, because remember my big thing about

880
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 4: interior linement with short Shuttle. Well, he was one of

881
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 4: the few in the last couple of years that was

882
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 4: below the magic number in the good range. So his

883
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 4: testing actually showed better than if you look hard in stuff.

884
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 4: His testing was really good, and almost all those guys

885
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 4: under that magic number have gone on to be strong

886
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 4: starters at a minimum, even late round picks.

887
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 2: A little peek into the weird world of Matt Williamson.

888
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: Jeff tweets us and says, what are you guys thoughts

889
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 3: and level of comfort with the left side of the

890
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 3: offensive line in its current current state? Are you against

891
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: taking a left tackle in round one? As Matt Williamson

892
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 3: would say, you can never have enough offensive alignement.

893
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 4: I would never object to taking a tackle just because

894
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 4: it could crumble quickly. Cook could turn into a Pumpkins.

895
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 3: Doesn't have the yeah that he did last year, Roger

896
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: Jones doesn't recover from the neck injury.

897
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 4: Like you hope or and neither one could be on

898
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 4: the team a year from now, it's always a position

899
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 4: that's hard to find. A tackle could possibly pay guard

900
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 4: this year and then learn to kick out. So I'm

901
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 4: not comfortable with it now because really all you have

902
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 4: on the left side is Anderson and those two. Yeah,

903
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 4: so I'm drafting to one of which is in the

904
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 4: first two first two days of the draft, for sure,

905
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 4: maybe two, because I'm really really greedy there, and there

906
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 4: seems like there's a lot of tackles to pick from.

907
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 4: I could paint a picture in a couple of bocks

908
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 4: I've done. I've taken a tackle in the first round.

909
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 2: We just talked about one yesterday.

910
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

911
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: Kind of piggybacking off of that, RJ tweets us and says,

912
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 3: what do you guys think of Caden Proctor at pick

913
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 3: twenty one? He's becoming more and more interesting to me.

914
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 3: Play guard this year with the potential to bump out

915
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 3: next year.

916
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 4: He fits that mold. Yeah, He's an immense athlete, both

917
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 4: literally and figuratively. I mean, he was a five star.

918
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 4: He could do a year at guard and probably be

919
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 4: just fine and then be your left tackle. He would qualify. Yeah, yeah, I.

920
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 3: Think that's the intriguing part. About the specific fit for

921
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 3: the Steelers and how it is reflected with a few

922
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: guys in this draft class.

923
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: I nhure, and yeah, some of those guys.

924
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: Mcke's port Mike tweets us and says, since he did

925
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: this tweet all in Pittsburgh, Geese, So I'm gonna I'm

926
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: gonna read it as he wrote it. Okay, this is

927
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 3: not me, this is mcke's port Mike. Since Baltimore is

928
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: backed that of the trade agreement with Vegas, can you

929
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 3: guys talk about the cascade effect around the league and

930
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 3: the possibility of the league stepping in to find Baltimore.

931
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: This isn't the first time this has happened, but can

932
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: you think of any specific examples of how this has

933
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 3: been handled in the past?

934
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 4: Nothing like this degree? Is this degree? Yeah? I mean

935
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 4: it's been lower level, dude.

936
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: We've seen teams find draft picks and money for tampering

937
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 3: in the past. M hm, but yeah, not something specific

938
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 3: to this to this level.

939
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 4: I don't want to address it again because we spent

940
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 4: pretty much all Segment one and I'm sure you guys

941
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 4: have heard it by now, but I think it's a

942
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 4: big deal. I really do.

943
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 2: I do too. It's not going away. Let's just put

944
00:42:58,719 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: it that.

945
00:42:59,080 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so.

946
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: We have not heard the last of this story.

947
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 4: And I love how you brought up the owners are

948
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 4: going to discuss this behind closed doors and the owner's

949
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 4: meetings for sure.

950
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like some of the like spy movies

951
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 3: and things like that where they'll be like extendable ears

952
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 3: and all this different stuff.

953
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

954
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 3: I wish we could have an owners are meeting in Phoenix.

955
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 3: I wish you and I could be outside the ballroom

956
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 3: with like an inspector, gadget extendo ear to get in

957
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: there and hear what's being said. Let's see here. Smooth

958
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 3: Dave tweets and says we got time for one or

959
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 3: two more. Smooth Dave tweets and says Matt has preached

960
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 3: the importance of explosives. I'm wondering where the explosives are

961
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 3: going to come from with this offense, a little concerned

962
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 3: that it might be a little too power based with

963
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 3: guys like Pittman, Dowdell, Washington, Washington, Mooth dk, et cetera.

964
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 4: It's great point because also it's a slight worry to

965
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 4: me that this style of offense isn't designed for explosives

966
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 4: as much either. It's a lot of West Coast principles.

967
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 4: Get it out, quick, move the chains, completion, completion, completion. Well,

968
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 4: this are hard to come by. I think the offense

969
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 4: will be better. I think the offensive scheme will be better.

970
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 4: I think the weapons are better. Do we think if

971
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 4: Rogers comes back, he's better a year older than now

972
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 4: than last year? I don't know. I mean I wouldn't

973
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 4: say that, that's definitely written in stone. I mean, guys

974
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 4: usually get worse at that age, not better. But it's

975
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 4: a legit concern. I mean, where are your big play guys?

976
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 4: I would not just because what Metcalf's big. I still

977
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 4: think he's a highly explosive over the top.

978
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 2: We saw what he did in Dublin.

979
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

980
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Pittman isn't. Yeah, the tight ends aren't. Dowdell

981
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 4: has plenty of ten yarders, But that wouldn't call him explosive,

982
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, thats a real, real legit concern.

983
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 2: That's a good question.

984
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, good one to wrap up today on We'll get

985
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,560
