1 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: Live from Indianapolis. This is continuing coverage of the NFL 2 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: Cone on Steelers Nation Radio. Yeah, good morning, everyone. Welcome 3 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: to our two of our day three of our coverage 4 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: from the NFL Combine. Our Combine coverage is presented by 5 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: First National Bank. Let's get started, remember f D. I 6 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: see we're scheduled to chat with Jeremy Fowler of ESPN 7 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: here in our hour to Jerry du Lac with you 8 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: along with at Williamson. We're starting to see some of 9 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: the measurements come in, Matt from some of the receivers. 10 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: Johan Dotson measured into five ten and a half only 11 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: a hundred seventy eight pounds, nine and a half inch hands, 12 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: seventy four inch wing span. You impair that to like 13 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: a Drake London who was seventy seven and three quarter. 14 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: He was big for a little guy. Yeah, and he 15 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: used it really well as Uh. He uses those nine 16 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: and a half inch hands to catch the ball very 17 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: very well. He's very shorthanded receiver and he's very good, 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: outstanding receiver. We talked yesterday. Uh, that weight doesn't really 19 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: bother him by the way, I mean, I expect him 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: to be one nine or anything. You know, probably put 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: on a few to get up to one eight. But 22 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: um um, you know, a better receiver like kJ Hamdler explosive, 23 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: but a better receiver than kJ Ham, better all around receiver, 24 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: not his gimmicky. I think he can handle traditional route 25 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: running a little bit better and it's more shorthanded. I 26 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: think Handler is really a three or four in the NFL, 27 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: where Dotson's, you know, more of a featured guy. Yeah, 28 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: with that question, then you get to they got your 29 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: headseting now, Jeremy Fowler, he has to Yeah, you haven't 30 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: done this at all, joins us now.

Appreciate you know 44 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: you don't get that in Connecticut this time of your day. 45 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: I need I need the Jerry Do lag like golf 46 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: right around. That's right. It was two weeks ago as 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, doing well, visiting my daughter and 48 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: getting in a little as well. So, um, what you 49 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: gotta do while you're here? Anything particular? You just kind 50 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: of mosey Iran talked to some people. Yeah, I would 51 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: say my main focus is just getting ready for free 52 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: agency because once it's arts, it's it's it's a sprint, 53 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: and you know, hundreds of guys flying around contracts and 54 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: potential trades, whatever it is. And I'm just kind of 55 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: start with the quarterbacks because that's what everybody's sort of 56 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: waiting on. You start with Rogers and uh kind of 57 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: will your will your way down who you're not gonna 58 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: be dealt, and then go from there and what's what's 59 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: sort of the reasonable quarterback market? And then weren't get 60 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: ready to the the ball the position that that's goal to 61 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: be honestly, Yeah, we saw some of those possibility shot 62 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: out of the air yesterday when talking with some of 63 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: the coaches and GM Derek Carr not going anywhere. Uh, 64 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson not going anywhere. Of course, you never know 65 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, you know in the drama he creates. 66 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: But I don't see that happening either. And here come 67 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: the Saint Almos shrimp in case you're wondering bringing around 68 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: to Radio rowe um. But yeah, so but still be there. 69 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: There still were a lot of intrigue, guys. You know, 70 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: it's not it's not. Let's face, it's not a strong 71 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: draft class for quarterbacks. So a lot more emphasis putting 72 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: on put on quarterbacks where they're gonna go like a 73 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, Marcus Mariotta, Mitchell Trabisky, all of a sudden, 74 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: their stock is probably gonna go a little higher than 75 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: maybe it should be. But it's gonna drive it's gonna 76 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: drive their price up a little bit more. It's good 77 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, because if we're talking musical chairs, you 78 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: have how many teams that need one, probably at least eight, 79 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: and then you have I was up to at least 80 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: eight yefter. Yeah, and then you have Jimmy Garoppolo. I 81 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: think we'll get one of those. Other guy forgot the 82 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz to be getting one of those seats, But 83 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: that creates a seat in Indianapolis. So, um, the three 84 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: or four free agents, whether it's Mariota or the pretty 85 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: well positioned even a situation where they're gonna draft somebody 86 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: like to start some games. And so there's just there's 87 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: a feeling around here. There's the quarterback position is probably 88 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: the weakest it's been league wide for a while. It's 89 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: top heavy. You've got some really good ones, you know, 90 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: but after that it's very hit or miss. The guy 91 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: that keeps coming up everywhere I talk, everywhere I turn 92 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: is Trabisky. You think there's a lot of buzz around him, 93 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: and he's even been linked here a little bit with 94 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: the Steelers. I mean, I think it'd be a suitable option. Yeah, 95 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: And I do think it's a suitable option for them. 96 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: I think it's one that they've at least looked into, 97 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, um around here this week, and yeah, there's 98 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: I think it's because the upside is a little higher 99 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: than with a lot of ability there what you're getting 100 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: with Bridgewater. Um, it depends on how you feel about 101 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: nagging what they did with him, and I make some 102 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: feel like that that offense wasn't suited for him. You 103 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: put him in some peo situations. Um uses athleticism a 104 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: little bit the year below, like they raved about him 105 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: that you know, so he like his one. He really 106 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: improved the stock even by not playing. Yeah, like prove 107 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: it deal there or like a reset deal really benefited him. 108 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: Now those who watched him four years in Chicago would say, like, Okay, 109 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: maybe he is what he is. Um, you have to 110 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: take that into account. But there's just you know there 111 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: there are enough viable options to replace him right now. 112 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: So he's gonna have a good spot somewhere. I think 113 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: any hunch and what him Mariota and winced him the man. 114 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: I mean they're all playing a really favorable contracts. I mean, 115 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,559 Speaker 1: they're all gonna get raises. Do you have any clue 116 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: what they'll be getting on the So yeah, it is 117 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: because I don't you know, I don't see them getting 118 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: long term deals. You could see two year deals. You 119 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: could see two year deals that provide maybe a lot 120 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: of incentives, Yeah, but provide some some decent guarantees good 121 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: year one money where if it doesn't work out, the 122 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: team has some there in year two to where they 123 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: could keep them as a as a bridge or a 124 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: backup and and it doesn't break. So yeah, I think 125 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: it will be us. There'll be a sweet spot. It 126 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: won't be outrageous money. I do think I got like 127 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: Jimisky could get paid more. Yeah, I would think. Yeah, 128 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't abysmal inch Ago. You know, he 129 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: had a winning record or a twenty nine and twenty one. 130 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: He had twice as many touchdowns as interceptions. I mean, 131 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: so it wasn't like it was an imbalance there. I 132 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: can't remember what those Bears teams were, like, how how 133 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: good they were. Maybe maybe he dragged them down, whatever 134 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: the case. But a number two overall pick and the 135 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: Bears traded up to go get them. Uh, strong arm 136 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: and very fast. Um. So what Mike Tomlin has talked 137 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: about that he values mobile quarterbacks. Art Rooney says after 138 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: the at the end of the year, that's the wave 139 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: of the future. Um, you know, you you have to 140 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: think that if the Steelers are going to make that 141 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: type of move, that is the exact type of quarterback 142 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: that they're talking about when they mentioned mobile quarterbacks who 143 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: also you know, can throw something. They don't want some 144 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: guy who's out there running around, right. And and that's 145 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: the reason why he went to Buffalo is to learn 146 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: from Josh Allen, become an extension to Geosh Allen where 147 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: he's not going to be that. But uh yeah, because 148 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: I did some one a couple of weeks ago and 149 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: talk to the people. Did you tell me I was writing, 150 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: why don't you tell me that? Yes? But you know, 151 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean said, like he's I think he will take 152 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: with him where you don't have to be robotic, you 153 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: can let it loose and you know, change the play 154 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: if you have to trust you and stays a little 155 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: bit maybe in Chicago who's a little bit programmed to 156 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: make the right read and and you know, maybe if 157 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: he lets it fly, will be a different guy, don't 158 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: Maybe you know something? I think that's what we think, 159 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: like that it's clever. You know. The part down for 160 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: a popular comparison um And of course the hopeful comparison 161 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: is Ryan Tannehill number eight overall picked with the Dolphins, 162 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: you know, but just didn't pan out there goes to 163 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee and boom, look what happens. And so the Trabisky 164 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: is that's like kind of the comparison that, you know, 165 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: restart his career, fight, get back on track with another team. Well, 166 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: that's why it's crucial to go to the right place 167 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: that that round you with enough talent. You know, the 168 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: Steelers you you think would be that, but offensive line 169 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: play and not as strong as what annehell Head in 170 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee mud say. You know, and they had that running 171 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: game they cantry, So I just I don't know if 172 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: they can replicate that. Um So where he goes will 173 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: be crucial. You know, he's gonna have to have a 174 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: lot of support around him. Do you have any inclination 175 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: what the Steelers might do at that position? I mean, 176 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: we've all been speculated, We've lon down every avenue. You know, 177 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: there's those three free agents we just brought up. There's 178 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: potentially five first round quarterbacks you could trade for a Garoppolo. 179 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Do you have of what path they might lean towards? So, 180 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, just asking around here. I I don't get 181 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: the sense that they're gonna be giving up multiple first 182 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: round picks for a splash quarterback. I just don't get 183 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: that sense right now. Um, you know, I don't want 184 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: to be painting in a corner or that you never 185 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: know right deal presents. So I would think it'd be 186 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: more get a free agent, compete with Mason and Dwayne 187 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: and see what happens. And I just think that's what 188 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: we've been kind of rooting for, to be honest with 189 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: I think they look at as a reset. You you know, 190 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know that Kevin Colbert wants to 191 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: go get a Deshaun Watson with all his trouble and 192 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: and that be his last move. They they won't, they 193 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: won't allow that move to be made. But I will 194 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: tell you in what was his draft your seventeen he 195 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: wasn't there, But if DeShawn Watson would have been there, 196 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: he would have pulled the trigger on back there. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 197 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: We're talking with Jeremy Fowler of E s UM. We 198 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: were talking earlier Jeremy about we saw what the Rams 199 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: have done, the converse of what most teams do trading away. 200 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: You know, number one picks left and right don't have 201 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: another one until Jared Goff was the last one, you know, 202 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it was a winning formula successful formula. 203 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: Do you expect Uh, Obviously, not everybody's gonna follow because 204 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: not everybody believes in it. But do you think you'll 205 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,119 Speaker 1: see a little bit more of that making some splashes 206 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: to get the guys that you feel can uh to 207 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: help you win boom right away. There's some influence there. 208 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: I do think teams will take that into account and 209 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: and and see that as as an attractive possibility depending 210 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: on where they are. You feel like, eight games in 211 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: your piece of way at the deadline, let's let's make 212 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: that move. Um. But you know that was sort of 213 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: perfect storm. You know, the Rams felt like, Okay, Von 214 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: Miller's that sort of piece that we need, even if 215 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: it's just for a few games, Like you know he's 216 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: gonna be a hired gun and get us over the top. Um. 217 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: And yeah, but like you have to have those guys 218 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: available to Like Odell Beckham with that situation came at 219 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: the right time to give up any picks to get them. 220 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: You know, he was angry. He wanted to show that 221 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: it was still that guy. So it's like it kind 222 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: of all lined up for him. I don't know that 223 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be that case every year. Um. The thing 224 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: that people forget about the Rams is who won the 225 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: game from Aaron Donald their top pick from years ago, 226 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup their third round pick. Like, you have to 227 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: hit on those compics, those mid round guys. If they 228 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: don't do that, the plan doesn't work. So if you 229 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: draft Will, I think it makes sense for a team 230 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: to go over the top and add like one piece 231 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: mid season. I think you can see some of that. 232 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe teams will be more aggressive there, I mean 233 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: quarterback aside. Do you expect the Steelers will be pretty 234 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: active outside the organization in free agency? I mean they 235 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: have a lot more cap spaces, and they have in 236 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: recent years, that's for sure. So yeah to two point, 237 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go crazy. Yeah, yeah they never do. 238 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: They need a corner, right, you gotta get a corner. 239 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: I just hope they don't draft one. Yeah, there are 240 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: successive drafting one is not very good. And I'm trying 241 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: to think of who was their last hit there at 242 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: corner Male Blunt. I think Chad Scott, the shaybe go Like, right, 243 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: who'd you say, yeah, cam So? Let me solid? Yeah 244 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: cam So the first one to get a second contract 245 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: since ums Alan. Yeah, which their their corners they draft, 246 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: they don't get second contracts. So then that to me 247 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: begs the question, Okay, who's evaluating the corners you know 248 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: if so, uh, you know, they just haven't had a 249 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: lot of success. That maybe like a mid tier option, 250 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: like a various a ward that's a name I like 251 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: he's got. He's actually got a good amount of buzz here. 252 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: I bet he he might be overpriced. To be honest, 253 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: had a good year. You meant you mentioned Aaron Donald. Um, 254 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: you saw what the Bengals tried to do with this guy. 255 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: Two and three guys on him a lot, and when 256 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: they tried to single block him is when he just 257 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: blew up their their plan. And to me, with all 258 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: due respect to everybody else and including t J, he 259 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: is the most disruptive, dominating defensive player in the game. 260 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: Oh there's no question. And they needed to play a 261 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: game on line. They knew he was going to do it. 262 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: That's right, Sit, he was gonna and he did it. 263 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: You know, Um, he could be Defensive Player of the 264 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: Year every year. That's you know, it was strategic a 265 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: little bit. I think when he flirted with the retirement 266 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: rumors at the end of the year, the week the 267 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: day before the Super Bowl because he has never quite 268 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: added up to me. Well, but he's like, look, you 269 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: know he's he's due to make fourteen million dollars next year, 270 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: and it's it's sort of when you compare that to 271 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: what like, there's an adjustment that has to be made, 272 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: so he's gonna get paid in a big way. Speaking 273 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, we have had a really good conversation talking Bengals. 274 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: Does the league look at the Bengals and think, Wow, 275 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: they have their quarterback, they have early success, they have 276 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: a lot of cap space. Could this be a force 277 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: for a while. Well, if if we're going by the 278 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: Bengals track records that one, can they sustain it? Right? 279 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, is it's an organization that you know, they 280 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: hadn't won a playoff game four this year, doesn't typically 281 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: spend a whole lot of the going down for agency. 282 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: They're willing to um. I give him a lot of credit. 283 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you know some of their draft picks sort 284 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: of fell to him. Right. They still have to make 285 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: the right pick with Burrow. They have not made the 286 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: right ones in years past, like the Browns with those 287 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: hide and all four of their free agent signings on defense, 288 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: this last year worked from a perfect storm. You know, 289 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: we'll see they can keep it up. Um. But they 290 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, really like everything else is in place except 291 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: that line right now. Uh maybe tight end you lose 292 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: c j Usama, you gotta replace him. But like you know, 293 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: they have lots in place. Yeah, lot is in place 294 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, Like I mean at least for the 295 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: next year or two. You know, they drafted three offense 296 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: him and last year. And we were talking with Jeff 297 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: Hopson about that, I mean, and so everybody's thinking, oh, well, 298 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: they gotta go do something about their offensive line. But 299 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: it's not like they haven't paid attention to it, um. 300 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: And so they have. I mean, they have young guys 301 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: on that line, kind of like the Steelers. Um. But 302 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: you know, you got to make sure you protect number nine, 303 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: that's for sure. He also said, too, which I was 304 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: a little surprised to hear him say this, that Mike 305 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: Brown is ready to rip up Burrows contract and give 306 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: him the big one right away. And he said that's 307 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: been his history, was his history was Carson Palmer, um, 308 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: and and that he you know, he wouldn't be surprised 309 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: if he did it right away. Try to get ahead 310 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, so he'd had the way one more 311 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: year and after the third year they could do it. 312 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: Um send the right message, yeah, right message cripple your 313 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: salary capit sender right. At least you get that cushion 314 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: of the two years of the rookie deal left where 315 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: you can you know, figle that a little bit. Yeah, 316 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: but it's I mean, we're gonna be talking about fifty 317 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: million dollar quarterbacks here in the next year or two. 318 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: I'd imagine could Rogers at fifty if he sticks around 319 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: Green Bay. I've been here in those rooms. You know, 320 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: he's only thirty eight. He'd have twelve more years ago. Oh, 321 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: I see it. Just maybe, Yeah, I don't think so. 322 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be that crazy. Yeah. I think 323 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: he might get a two year deal and nine plus 324 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: he'll be high. Yeah. You know, but their situation too. 325 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: He can't just totally cripple them where they can't win 326 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: if he goes back there, if the point is to win.

Hunt. Yeah, always good talking with 364 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: Jeremy and Jeff Hobson always, you know, brings every little 365 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: detail and it's been covering the Bengals for years and years. 366 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: You were going back to when he was with the 367 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Enquirer. Uh, then how long has he been there? 368 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: Twenty years? How long has it been dot Com? Do 369 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: you know, Butch, what would you say, twenty years? Probably 370 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: huh yeah, yeah. Seem some good players. First time he's 371 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: been to the super Bowl, first time he's had his 372 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: own team, and that he's gone there to the super Bowl, 373 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: that was that was fun stuff. And again, I think 374 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: there's an art to what this organization, Tomlin Colbert as 375 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: well as the Ravens have done with sustained excellence in 376 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: the Division a down years eight and eight or slightly 377 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: over the just missing the playoffs like Baltimore did. I'm 378 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: just curious if the Ohio teams can withstand that year 379 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: after year. You know, one thing the Bengals did that 380 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: the Browns haven't done, and and to the point that 381 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: they were actually criticized to would is Mike Brown is 382 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: like the Rooney's, a very loyal stable owner who's very 383 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: loyal to his people, and and that included Marvin Lewis. 384 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: And and once he committed to Marvin Is, when they 385 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: turned it around, free agents started uh willing to come 386 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: in because you know, there was uh uh you know, 387 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: Mike could have easily it's fired Marvin Lewis years earlier, 388 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: and he didn't. And once he stuck with him and 389 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: committed to him as when things started to turn around 390 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: for the Bengals and so, um, I would imagine in 391 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: terms of stability and sticking with what you have, you're 392 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: not gonna see Mike Brown uh divert too much from 393 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: whatever it is that they've been doing that's put him 394 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: where they are. Um Again, they've gotten, they've gotten lucky 395 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: with some picks. They made the right picks. They've had 396 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: some fault to him, as Jeremy Fowler was just saying, 397 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: but I don't expect them to to panic and pull 398 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: some of the Cleveland Brown stuff that we've seen and 399 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, not so much of the past couple of years, 400 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: but certainly going back prior to that. Yeah, and I'll 401 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: never forget that. I had a conversation with Bab Labriola. 402 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: Who's that. I think I've heard of these guys from 403 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: time to time, and I remember Labs saying it was 404 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: when all the hype, it was basically a year ago. 405 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: All the hype was the Browns and then up and 406 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: coming team in the a f C. They're gonna be 407 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: the everyone's picking them to win the division. Lookout, Chiefs, 408 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: here comes the Browns and Labs as eloquently does you mentioned, Well, 409 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: let's see whenever the bullets on their chat or the 410 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: bull's eyes on their chest, and they have multiple Monday night, 411 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: Sunday night, Thursday night games, and they gotta fly home 412 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: at four in the morning and deal with success, you know, 413 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: and everyone's talking about them as favorites, and it's just 414 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: a different world. You know. The Bengals had the benefit 415 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: of kind of coming from nowhere, and I think Burrows 416 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: more than capable handling all of it. But let's see it. Yeah, 417 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: let me see you back it up. You know, everybody 418 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: could have a good year. Uh, the ones we were 419 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: talking about earlier, they have the key, key piece, and 420 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: that's the quarterback, chies elite quarterback. I don't think the 421 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: Browns do. I know the Bengals might have, you know 422 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: what they feel as, uh, you know, a guy who 423 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: can take them to the playoffs. But this guy is 424 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: a guy who can take it to the super Bowl. 425 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: And you know, you have the three good receivers. And 426 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: once again, once they give Joe Burrow that contract, all 427 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you become a little more stringer with 428 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: a salary cap because you're tight against it. What you 429 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: gotta pay your quarterback and you can't pay they're not. 430 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: Let's face it, they can't pay all three of those receivers. 431 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: So if they're gonna pay Tyler Boyd, then are they 432 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: financially u valuing him more than t Higgins, who was 433 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: more of a big play guy. And then you know 434 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna pay Jamar Chase, who's the biggest of big 435 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: play guys. So you have to be real careful about 436 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: the Steelers. You know they ran into that with Plexico Burrows. 437 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: They put their money and on Hind's ward and he 438 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: couldn't pay both them. Lex had to go, and he 439 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: was a number one pick and plenty start back. That's 440 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: making a big chunk of money. You don't have those 441 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: options and stardom is hard to keep up in this league. 442 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: It was more of a big play guy, but they 443 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: decided on high understandably. So what the Bengals and they 444 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: don't have to make that decision. They can't pay three guys, 445 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: and right now, Joe Burrows on a rookie contract, but 446 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: you start giving him that fifty million dollar deal, and 447 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: at some point, if you want to make sure you 448 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: give Jamaar Chase what what he is worth. All of 449 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, you can't go up in free 450 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: agency and do what they did with the defensive line 451 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: as much as they did. It's a whole another ball game. 452 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you've heard this a lot too, 453 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: but I get a lot of Steeler fans saying, well, 454 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, we've been on top, and that's our turn 455 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: to pay our dues. Cincinnati's on top of the division, 456 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: and wow, Josh Allen and Herbert and Mahomes and all 457 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: these unbelievable a f C quarterbacks, And they're not wrong. 458 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: I mean, those guys are unbelievably impressive, and I'm jealous 459 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: as could be that they have Herbert and all those guys. 460 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: But a lot of those teams haven't shown they can 461 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: pay a quarterback top three, top five money year after year. 462 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: Then what we talked about yesterday, Kevin Colbert pick overall, 463 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: the Bengals are picking what thirty one, that's usually about 464 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: where their second pick is. Know what I mean, Like 465 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: they don't have those same resources every year. It's to 466 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: stay on top. You know, when you look and people 467 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: talk about, you know it's gonna be down years for 468 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Let's face it, I saw the turnover they 469 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: had this past year, you know, losing, losing six starters, uh, 470 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: you know, being not being able to to be active 471 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: in free agency, the retirement of pouncing lost a year before. 472 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: But but surprisingly have to having or a late surprise 473 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,479 Speaker 1: having to do without David de Castro. Now you have 474 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: no steffun to it all year. Okay, And I know 475 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: injuries happens in Tyson, but still and so and as 476 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: bad as they look for for most of this, with 477 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: the exception of a few fourth quarters when Ben had 478 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: to take over and bring them back. Um, they can't 479 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: really can't look any worse running the ball thirty second 480 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: stop yeah, uh point production was It's face it was minimal, um, 481 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: you know, ninth fewer than twenty points times than they 482 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: scored more than twenty points, more games than they scored 483 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: twenty points. They couldn't really look any worse than they 484 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: did that offensive line, and they made the postseason, finished 485 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: second in division and they made the postseason. I I 486 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: know Ben's gonna be gone, but I really don't know 487 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: that it could be look any darker or being any 488 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: darker than at least looked last year. This past season. Yeah, 489 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be optimistic because we're not radio. 490 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: I just think that the product on the field likely 491 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: to be better next year than it was last year. 492 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I think gonna snap by snap basis, they 493 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: will be a better big issue. But yes, no doubt 494 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: about it. But Ben had his limitations as well, you know, 495 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: right right, he also had a year. Um, I saw 496 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: he had the second biggest drop in quarterback rating in 497 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: the league last year. You know who was number one? 498 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, that makes a 499 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: ton of sounds, right, And yeah he didn't have a 500 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: great yet best fourth quarter pastor though in the league 501 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: he had a question statistically. Um. But the division is 502 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: very interesting right now, you know, I mean it's a 503 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: tough one. Some of these divisions look like they're getting 504 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: easier and easier with like Brady retiring in the In 505 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: the NFC South, who you know, Breeze isn't there anymore? 506 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: There's no powerhouse in that. But that's not gonna be 507 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: the case in ANFC North three years. How about the 508 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints debating about how much money they want 509 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: to give Taysom Hill. That contract makes no sense to 510 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: me at all. I mean, unbelievable for a guy who's 511 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: just an average quarterback, but he's he's athletic, and he's mobile, 512 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: but he's a running quarterback. He is. But I think 513 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: he's a Sean Payton pet. I mean, even when Drew 514 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: Brees was in his prime, not quite in his prime, 515 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: but still an elite player, they would put Hill in there. 516 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: If you're snapping the ball to anyone but Drew Brees. 517 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm happy about it as a defense, and I mean 518 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,239 Speaker 1: they've generally he's hard to play against. But all the 519 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: flirtations with Hill over the last couple of years and 520 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: the extreme amount of money they've given him, like you said, 521 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: just doesn't add up to me at all. I mean, 522 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: I think he's a gimmick player and he's not someone 523 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: you want to take it that, you know, man. I 524 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: was talking to uh court El Stewart a couple of 525 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: weeks ago, first story I did about the evolution of 526 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: the black quarter in the NFL and and how accepted 527 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: their talent is now and embraced about that he was 528 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: a second round pick. Um I said today he would 529 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: be a top ten pick. Five. Yeah, I think Dale 530 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: said yesterday he might go first overall in this draft. 531 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: I don't remember him well enough as a college passer 532 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: and as a prospect. And it took him a while 533 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: till he took over his quarterback And you know, I 534 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: wasn't doing this professional at that point. But man, I mean, 535 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: teams would be salivating over him. Were still the all 536 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: time Big Eight total yardage leader in today's air with 537 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: these offenses, in all that football, he's still the long 538 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: time leader total yards seven yards. I'm not diminishing at 539 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: all what he could have been in today's NFL as 540 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: a quarterback, but frankly, I thought he could have been 541 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league. Two in 542 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: addition to all he said, and I do recall this, 543 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: I do call this guy saying it, but he said 544 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: that the co told him that. He said he could 545 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: have been. Uh he said, you could maybe be a 546 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame receiver. Yeah. Right, they're stuck with it, 547 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: and and and and and so, Cordell. You know some quarterbacks, 548 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, they run and they throw. None of them 549 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: were out there catching, right, I mean or lamar Is. 550 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: They're not running routes throwing seventy five yards in the 551 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: air as he did on the hell Mary to beat Michigan. 552 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: You know, higwerful, warm, you know, good size, fast as heck, 553 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: you know, and could catch the ball. They wouldn't even 554 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: try him a wide We wouldn't, right, right, a quarterback, 555 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean, and how many people before him, often, you know, 556 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: guys of color. It never got that shot. It would 557 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: have been stars, you know. And imagine if Ranald Cunningham 558 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: is coming out today, he'd be the first pick in 559 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: the draft. There's no doubt about it. And that guys 560 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: remember Freddy Solomon And I only noticed because I looked 561 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: it up. Uh, you know, Marlon Briscoe, you know, those 562 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: guys were college quarterbacks. They never got today they get 563 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: a chance crazy, you know, as productive as they were. 564 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: So you look at you look at this quarterback a 565 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: draft and you know, we heard Kevin Colbert say this 566 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: twice in the last uh two weeks, Matt that, um, 567 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of depth there, there's not a 568 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: lot of quality. But what is there? Um, not a 569 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: lot of quantity? Excuse me? But what is there? He 570 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: feels there several quality quarterbacks and and I think quality 571 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: is the right word. Yeah, it's not star, but I agree, 572 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: I agree. I you know, I've said in in any 573 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: other good quarterback year, I don't. I'm not sure any 574 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: of these guys would be a first round pick. If 575 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: they were, they were certainly low first round. Yeah, I mean, 576 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: I say I could be wrong, but last year was 577 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: rare because Lawrence was a slam down and Fields and 578 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: Lance and those guys were exceptional prospects. How about excuse 579 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: me real quick, how about Joe Montana and Steve Young 580 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: both coming out, both of them and saying they don't 581 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: think Trey Lance is ready to play in the NFL. Now, 582 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: both of them kind of hear both forty guys you 583 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: almost think being them out, you know, leaking out as 584 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,959 Speaker 1: a mouthpiece for the forty niners. I've heard a lot 585 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: of the same with you. So that'll din't mean no 586 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: no about him though is let's say he is a 587 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: day one starter. That's the first time he started a 588 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: game of three years. I mean he didn't play his 589 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: last year in college too. I mean, that's a long 590 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: stretch not to be a regular player. And boy did 591 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: they have a lot invested in him and they went 592 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: far without him, you know, So that whole situation is 593 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: really interesting to me. Or he made an element that 594 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy didn't, including his running, that makes them unbelievably hard 595 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: to play against. I don't know what to think of them. 596 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I understand this willingness part. Well. I 597 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: do because they drafted Trey Lance. But when you you 598 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: have to evaluate where those guys are, and I don't 599 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: quite understand their seeming willingness to just part with Jimmy Garoppolo. Yeah, 600 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. Yeah, I think what happened 601 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: at the time was boy Kyler Murray's this up and 602 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: coming dynamic quarterback Russell Willson star in that division. The 603 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: Rams go add Matthew Stafford. We can't be fourth in 604 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback race in our own DIVI vision and make 605 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: them any better than right. And I think they overreacted, 606 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, not that Jimmy's gonna lead 607 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: you the promise in time and time, and but he's 608 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: won a lot of games. I think he's a quality player. 609 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: But to think of the Niners where they would have 610 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: went last year if they would have used those picks 611 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: instead of moving up like crazy on another pass ructor 612 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: and you know whatever else. You know, it's an interesting dilemma. 613 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't see the bad stuff with Jimmy Garoppolo, 614 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: but when whatever I watch him, I think looks fine 615 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: to me. And you know there that's a Maleman position 616 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: with them too, they're handing the ball off. I mean, 617 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: I think this and the surroundings help him a ton, 618 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: because I really think they run the ball. Ravens maybe 619 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: a side because they're sort of their own beast better 620 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: than any team in the league. The Ravens they run 621 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: because of Lamar Jackson, right right, but there, but Jimmy 622 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: consistently wins. Durability is a bit of a concern, and 623 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: they asked him to make a lot of really difficult 624 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: throws in the middle of the field where there's a 625 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: lot of bodies off and off action from that running game. 626 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: But there's times where he throws one right in the 627 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: Linebackers numbers, you know, more than you would like, and 628 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: you know, how did you not see that guy? You know? 629 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: I mean, but I think he's the middle of the 630 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: road quarterback and you can win games with You know, 631 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: if if by chance he would come here and this 632 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: spend like it was two years ago, you'd be a 633 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: pretty horrible squad because you said the middle of the road. 634 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: Where how would you equate Mason Rudolph to Jimmy Garoppolo 635 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: Because I believe, I mean interesting questions where they they 636 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: can win right, depends on the defense. But this, you know, 637 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: this isn't This is a guy that they feel, you know, 638 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: with the in the right situation, they can win ten 639 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: games with. Now I know that was ten out of sixteen, 640 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: not a seventeen game season. But you know with with 641 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, the defense they typically have, they feel that 642 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: that's that's the middle of the road to me, maybe 643 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: above middle of the road. I think Jimmy Garoppolo is 644 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: a little above middle the road. But because you use 645 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: that expression, how would you where would you? Deep down? 646 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: I think Rudolph is a lifetime backup spots starter r 647 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: fitz Packer. Um, that's not a bad career. You you 648 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: were tired with an offer money in the bank and yeah, 649 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: you know he's probably start fifty games in his career. 650 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it numerous stops played twelve years, make millions of dollars? 651 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: Um is he Andy Dalton or less? I would rather 652 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: have Rudolph than Dalton today today, Dalton's best day with 653 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: the you know throwing to a j Green is probably 654 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: better than Mason's best day. But you mentioned Doc made 655 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,479 Speaker 1: me crazy that year that Ben was out. Everyone just 656 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: lumps Duck and Rudolph together like they were the same, 657 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: Like come on, I mean, one guy has no business 658 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: being in the league and the other guys, like I said, 659 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna last ten or twelve years in my opinion. 660 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: And the other about Rudolph again, I think he's a 661 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: very high end backup and it went all and done, 662 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: but a couple of times when he's had a chance 663 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: to shine. I really go back to that Jets game, 664 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: you know when in that same season, it was late 665 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: in the year, he's playing great and got her to 666 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: get her. You know, he's said a couple of times 667 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: when he's starting to turn the corner and you know 668 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: he's going to put the work in, it didn't quite 669 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: see the fruits because something goes away, you know. So 670 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm open to the idea that this is an improving 671 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: player that if everything's around him, you can win games 672 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: with them. But I don't think he's the answer or 673 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: the successor, you know, But him verse Jimmy's an interesting 674 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: conversation because one guy cost you four million, and he's 675 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: a roster and the other guy might cost you a 676 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: second round pick in twenty million. Is there that big 677 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: of a discrepancy. That's a good question. I've had this 678 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: conversation with a former NFL head coach who said, they 679 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: think he's you know o'donald got Yes, guy I couldn't 680 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: win with. But always someone you're looking to see if 681 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: there's somebody. But that's just how I kind of categorize 682 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Yeah, I think that's the same tire. Yeah, 683 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: a guy Mason Rudolph isn't going to like Neil, is 684 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: going to take a lot of chances, but probably not 685 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: gonna throw a lot of interceptions because he's not gonna 686 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: try and fit it in those type right, right, But 687 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: that type of guy, And and I've always kept in 688 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: the back of my mind, and that's the way I 689 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: look at it. Guy you can win with. Oh, they 690 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl with new ol'donnald didn't win, 691 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: but they went to it. Um, But you always have 692 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: your eye out, Okay, can we improve the position? I 693 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: assume you agree with me that they would like a 694 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: better athlete runner though, you know, and I don't think 695 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: he's as bad as people think as a runner or athlete, 696 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: and I think he's actually improved in that regard. As 697 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: his Haskins. If you watch Haskins at Ohio State in Washington, 698 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: oh he was a battleship. I mean, he couldn't move 699 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: at all. He's gotten much left on his feet. But 700 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: I bet whenever they get the hand pick their next guy, 701 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: he's at least a borough athlete or better, or at 702 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: least a young Ben. Yeah right, young Ben, which by 703 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: today's standards isn't Lamar, but it's no bal can extend 704 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: play type of guy. When things break down, He's was 705 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: owing better. Absolutely. Jerrydulac and Matt Williamson, We're at the 706 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: Indiana Convention Center. It's day three of our combined coverage. 707 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: It is presented by First National Bank.

We're gonna come back with 709 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: our final segment right after this on the ESPN Pittsburgh 710 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: and Steeler Nation Radio Live from Indianapolis. This is continuing 711 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: coverage of the NFL Combine on Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome 712 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: back to the Indiana Convention Center. Jerry Dulac and Matt 713 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 1: Williams in our final segment for these opening two hours 714 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,720 Speaker 1: are combined coverage presented by First National Bank. Let's get started, 715 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: member f D. I see all the some of the 716 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: measurements starting to come in and Kenney Pickett an eight 717 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: and a half inch hand. That's that is, yes, considered small. 718 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: It's a it's a bit eye opening, it really is. 719 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: I mean, this has been a extent they do. He 720 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: decided not to because he's doing hand exercises to try 721 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: to increase is stretching it in hand exercises, and I've 722 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: never heard of this before, but he it is a condition. 723 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: He has some sort of double jointed thumb that his 724 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: hand doesn't expand quite as much from you know, you're 725 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: you know the way that they design it. But he 726 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: claims it doesn't hurt him when he holds the football. 727 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how to comment on that. I just 728 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 1: know it came out of eight and a half and 729 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: nine is a red flag. And I don't know who 730 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 1: bends are I bet their ten? I mean, and he 731 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: it worries me. I mean, to be very honest, I'm 732 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: rooting for Kenny Pickett. He's a pit guy. I spent 733 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: time at pit, I grew up here. If he's in 734 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: a cold environment. That ball is bigger and heavier than 735 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: people realize. And how many times did Ben Pump fake 736 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: or get hit when the ball would have come out. 737 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: But the hand strength and the physical y of that 738 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: quarterback eliminated a bad play from happening. That worries me. 739 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: I mean, nine is bad. Eight and a halfs really bad, 740 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: you know. And we talked about this yesterday, uh with 741 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: Tony GROSSI about and about Baker Mayfield. You know, with 742 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: his hand size is uh the Brown's old GM at 743 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: the time, John Dorsey talking about how it's a big 744 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: factor in the Northeast, right that that that that factors 745 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: into their decisions. And yet they drafted Baker Mayfield number 746 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: one despite his small hands. He was under nine. He 747 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: was if he wasn't the smallest among the quarterbacks, he 748 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: if he wasn't the smallest hand among the quarterbacks, he 749 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: was among the smallest. And so you look in the NFL, 750 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: and let's let's face it, they're bigger, faster, and stronger 751 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: in the NFL than they are in college football. And 752 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: when you see some of these guys coming, you know, 753 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: t J. Watt from the blindside, and they're Toma hoff 754 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 1: chopping how some of these quarterbacks hold the ball is 755 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 1: is really impressive to Its really impressive. Now you get 756 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: a guy and you know, we're talking about the number 757 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: of fumbles by Baker Mayfield last year. Now, I grant 758 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: you he had other careers, had a lot of um 759 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: but I mean, because that becomes a factor absolutely, And 760 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: people will point to Joe Burrow, you know, because he 761 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: was very small as well, but he was over nine. 762 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: You know, nine is rock bottom, you know, and I 763 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 1: think Burrow was nine and a quarter. You mentioned Mayfield, 764 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: Tom mac shade of the study because his pick a 765 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: talk has been so much. He went back in the 766 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,919 Speaker 1: quarterbacks over the last twenty years. Who's under nine that's 767 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: had a good career. There's one. It's Michael Vick. And 768 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: Michael Vick and he had some other trump cards, you know. 769 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that that's something to be said 770 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: for that. Now Tannehill was brow Baker. I mean, it 771 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't mean that well Pickett's got no chance. 772 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that at all. But if I were 773 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: Kenning Pickett, I would rather Saint Straft to me than 774 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: the Steelers, you know what I mean? Just in terms 775 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: of whether you have to deal with them whatnot? Right 776 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: and hewears two gloves. I mean that's on purpose. Yeah. Um, 777 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: some of the others we mentioned earlier about about Johan Dotson, Um, Jamison, 778 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: Jamison Williams, hundred seventy nine pounds, nine and a quarter 779 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 1: hands size, Chris and lave A d eighty seven, six 780 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: ft nine and a half hands, All those are fine 781 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: for those guys. There's guys absolutely absolutely Uh. You know, 782 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: Drake London comes in at six three and three quarters 783 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: just about two nineteen nine and three three eight inch hands, 784 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: seventy seven and three quarter wingspan. Yeah, those are impressively 785 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: basketball player at USC and he looks like it. You know, 786 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: funding to about how he for combat catches our combat Um, 787 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: you hear so much about combat catches, Matt. I don't 788 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 1: want to say or they overrated, but you know the 789 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,919 Speaker 1: downside if you will or canby is. I think Chase 790 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: Claypool is a perfect example. He's not winning a lot 791 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: of combat catches and and what surprises me he doesn't 792 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: use his size to the fullest. He does appear to 793 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: high point she's doing a little bit of the falls 794 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: Bury flop. Now falling up on the ground a lot, right, 795 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: and and and he is not a he has not 796 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: been a successful combat catch guy. Um. And this part 797 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: of it, though, goes back to being able. You were 798 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: talking about Michael Pittman. I think always order was, who 799 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: did you say has a guy in his hip off London? Right? 800 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: He's very impressive, but he doesn't have that that degree 801 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: is separating that some of these that the Dotsons do 802 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: or loves or those type of guys. You get away 803 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 1: with that in college football get away with that nearly 804 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,240 Speaker 1: as much, not nearly as much. I mean, certainly Aaron 805 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: Rodgers will throw back shoulder fades too, you know when 806 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: we get to come to that. And the ball placement 807 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: at this level is unbelievably good, and that was a 808 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: great deal. And hey, I'm gonna cite some of my experience. 809 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: I saw every game with Cheryl, played a pit in 810 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,919 Speaker 1: every practice, and I went and of course I watched 811 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: all his high school tape too. And Larry wasn't the 812 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: fastest either. I mean, he was a contested catch superstar, 813 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: but that's rare, you know what I mean. I mean, 814 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: he still was a good sider, but the way that 815 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: he could shield defenders and times jump. That's why I 816 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: think Claypool's missing. Is that that timing of when when people, 817 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: you know, you said the word high point. I'm not 818 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: sure exactly people understand what that means. Like when I 819 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: leave my feet to go get the ball, what's the 820 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: highest I can get my body? Can I time that 821 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,919 Speaker 1: where the ball is? Right? I mean, it's exactly right. 822 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: And I learned some things from Larry two with that. 823 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 1: I always picked his brain and he said a lot 824 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: of these receivers will have tells where Claypool's eyes might 825 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: be looking for the ball too early, you know, telling 826 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: the d back it's coming. I mean the receiver's coach 827 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: would know that. I don't know what the issues are. 828 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: I do know the ground a lot, and that's that's 829 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: not a good sign. No, no, I agree, And uh, 830 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: you know, I can't remember if we talked about this 831 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: yesterday or not, um, because I've talked about it with 832 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: so many different people have asked about it. Um. It's 833 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons, but not the only reason, 834 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: but one of the reasons why I believe they need 835 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 1: to resign Smith Schuster. I've changed my good point. Yeah, 836 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: I mean they need they need him in that wide 837 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: receiver room. Otherwise it's it's Deante Johnson and Chase Claypool 838 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: and and they'll be a rookie. Yeah, they're not a 839 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: good situation. And I know Ray Ray mcclaude. Of course 840 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: they have to resign him. I think I think he's 841 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: restricted free agent. I don't think he's exactly but um, 842 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,439 Speaker 1: and and they need leaders on on offense. They don't 843 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 1: have any. They don't have any. I think Juju can 844 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 1: feel that role. But I I think it's uh because 845 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 1: dret one, now you're talking about a rookie, another young 846 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: guy in that room. Yeah, um, I I think I 847 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: think it's it's incumbent on them to resign Juju. You know, Yeah, 848 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's you know, they paid him nine 849 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: million one year. Nine million is past year, so you 850 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: give them to or eleven, you know, something like that 851 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: over a two year deal. Right, exactly? Did he put 852 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: enough on tape that other teams are gonna bang down 853 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: the door for him? They didn't rebably not you know. 854 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,439 Speaker 1: You know, Um, I think he's mostly a slot which 855 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: turns people a little too. But I think or kind 856 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: of like our Bengals conversation, they don't have much invested 857 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: in that room at the moment. I'm sure they'll extend 858 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: Deonte at some point, but they have the cat move 859 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: room to do it. And boy, I like the toughness 860 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,279 Speaker 1: Juju brings absolutely you. You know, you want one thing 861 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: that when the talks about with why can't see hers 862 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: run the ball um? They're peripheral blockers. The non no 863 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 1: lineman weren't so great. I mean, Raby McLeod isn't blocking anyone. 864 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,359 Speaker 1: Deante is not blocking anyone, and Claypool has been very 865 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: disappointing with his back. I expected him to be great 866 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: at because of his size. I would say that ray 867 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: Ray McLeod at least is a little bit more willing 868 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 1: for the point that even last year they would put 869 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: him in not just past year, the year before, they 870 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: would put in more in run formations than some of 871 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 1: the other guys, right, you know for that right at 872 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: times of alexactly, Juju Juju is reliable, he's dependable, he's 873 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 1: tough and for the most party shorthanded, let's face it, 874 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 1: catch us the ball in traffic quite a bit. Now, 875 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: I like what's on that? Well, that's gonna do it 876 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 1: for our first two hours.
